Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Industrial Application Fields>> This invention relates to a supporter that is used by being attached to the arm, leg, etc., and particularly to a supporter that is highly flexible and stretchable and has a far-infrared effect.

《Conventional technology》 Conventionally, we support specific far-infrared ceramic pieces such as alumina, zirconium, and silicon that emit electromagnetic waves with a peak wavelength of 8 to 14μ when heated to about 35.5 to 36.5℃, which is almost the same as body temperature. Attempts have been made to create a supporter that has a so-called far-infrared effect, which warms the wearer's body from the core by emitting far-infrared rays using the wearer's body temperature.

However, the ceramic pieces used are in the form of scales or tablets, which are fixed with adhesive, etc., so the supporter itself becomes extremely stiff and loses its flexibility, making it uncomfortable to wear. In addition, problems such as ceramic pieces peeling off and falling off due to the high degree of flexibility and elasticity required of the supporter have been recognized, making it difficult to obtain a supporter with sufficient performance. Ta. Therefore, attempts have been made to finely grind the ceramic pieces into fine particles or powder, knead them into a binder such as a synthetic resin, and coat the entire surface of a stretchable fabric.
When using this method, cracks of various sizes occur in all directions on the coating surface due to the expansion and contraction of the fabric.
As the supporter is bent, expanded and contracted, the crack widens and narrows, causing the coating to peel off and fall off, reducing the far-infrared effect and making the supporter look unsightly.

《Problems to be solved by the invention》 The purpose of this invention is to obtain a supporter with far-infrared rays that can sufficiently respond to bending, expansion and contraction, and can be used for a long period of time by fitting to the wearing area. do.

《Means for solving the problem》 A mixture of far-infrared ceramic particles or powder that emits electromagnetic waves with a peak wavelength of 8 to 14μ when heated to a temperature approximately equal to body temperature, and a heat-resistant synthetic resin. is applied and fixed in a pattern on the surface of a stretchable fabric, and a plurality of thin cutting lines are applied to the applied and fixed portion of the mixture to subdivide the fixed portion at least in a direction perpendicular to the stretching direction of the stretchable fabric. A stretchable fabric provided with this was used as a base fabric.

《Function》 Due to the elasticity of the base fabric, it fits well on the attachment part,
The far-infrared ceramic fixed part formed on the base fabric opens and closes the thin cutting line provided on the fixed part in response to the expansion and contraction of the base fabric, and buffers the stress applied to the fixed part. When worn, the far-infrared ceramic contained in the fixed part is heated by body heat and emits far-infrared rays, warming the wearer without causing cracks or peeling of the fixed part.

<<Example>> An example of the supporter of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The base fabric 1 used in the supporter of the present invention is the first
As shown in Figures 2 and 2, for example, woven fabrics or knitted fabrics with rubber thread inserted, which are used for leotards, bodysuits, or swimsuits, woven fabrics or knitted fabrics using textured synthetic yarns, and spandex. Alumina-based, zirconium-based, etc., which emit electromagnetic waves with a liquid length peak of 8 to 14μ when heated to a temperature of 35.5 to 36.5°C, which is approximately the same as body temperature, are applied to the surface of the stretchable fabric 2 such as the used fabric or knitted fabric. Particulates or powders of specific far-infrared ceramics such as silicone, heat-resistant synthetic resins such as polyurethane resins, polyester resins, and silicone resins, solvents for these resins, reaction inhibitors, and anti-settling agents for far-infrared ceramics fine particles or powders. The mixture obtained by kneading with etc. is applied to the surface of the stretchable fabric 2 by an appropriate method such as screen printing or roller printing, for example, in a regular pattern as shown in FIG. 1 or as shown in FIG. The adhesive is applied and fixed in an irregular pattern to form a fixed part 3, and the fixed part 3 is further perpendicular to at least the stretching direction (vertical direction in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the stretchable fabric 2. In the direction of the fixed part 3
A plurality of thin cutting lines 4 are provided to subdivide the area. The cutting line 4 provided in the fixed part 3 opens and closes the cutting line 4 in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the base fabric, buffers the stress applied to the fixed part 3, and causes cracks in the fixed part 3. This prevents the fixed part 3 from peeling off. Note that the pattern formed by the fixed portion 3 on the surface of the stretchable fabric 2 is not limited to the patterns shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and may be any regular or irregular pattern. Of course.

The base fabric 1 of the supporter of the present invention obtained in this way is cut to a required size, and as shown in FIG. The part is made into a slightly constricted state, and both ends are sewn together 5 with the fixed part 3 on the front side to form a cylindrical supporter S, and this is attached to the attachment part 6 of an arm or leg as shown in FIG. It is installed by inserting it.

At this time, the base fabric 1 expands and expands due to its elasticity and is attached to the attachment site such as an arm or leg, but the fixed part 3 is pulled in the direction of expansion and contraction of the base fabric 1, and the fixed part 3 The provided cutting line 4 stops expanding and buffers the stress applied to the fixed part 3, so that it can be repeatedly expanded and contracted without causing cracks in the fixed part 3 or causing partial peeling of the fixed part 3. It was able to withstand the action sufficiently, and the far-infrared effect was not lost due to the fit effect as a supporter and the peeling of the fixed part 3.

Note that the supporter of the present invention is not limited to the form shown in FIG. 3 shown in the first embodiment,
As a second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, two base fabrics 1A and 1B are sewn together 9 and 10 into a cylindrical shape in which one opening 7 is large and the other opening 8 is small in order to improve the fitting property. Even if S is constructed, as shown in FIG. 6 as a third embodiment, two base fabrics 1C and 1D cut into a circular or oval shape are sewn together into a cylindrical shape 11 and 12 to improve the design. It is also possible to use a supporter S that takes into account the Far-infrared rays can be emitted to warm the worn part from its core.

Although the supporters shown in each of the above embodiments have been described as having a cylindrical shape by stitching, velvet fasteners, buttons, snaps, etc. may be used instead of stitching, and this allows the supporter to be in a pre-deployed state. The shape of the supporter can also be made into a cylindrical shape after it comes into contact with the attachment site of the arm or leg, and the shape of the supporter is not limited to the shape shown in the above embodiments, but can be configured as appropriate to fit the attachment site well. I can do it.

《Effects of the invention》 As described in detail above, the supporters of this invention are:
A mixture of far-infrared ceramic particles or powder, which emits electromagnetic waves with a peak wavelength of 8 to 14 microns when heated to a temperature approximately equal to body temperature, and a heat-resistant synthetic resin is patterned on the surface of a stretchable fabric. applied and fixed, and in the applied and fixed part of the mixture,
Since the base fabric is a stretchable fabric provided with a plurality of thin cutting lines for subdividing the fixed portion at least in a direction perpendicular to the stretching direction of the stretchable fabric, the base fabric constituting the supporter has a high elasticity. Because of this, the far-infrared ceramic fixed part formed on the base fabric opens and closes the thin cut line provided on the fixed part in response to the expansion and contraction of the base fabric, and the fixed part The far-infrared ceramics contained in the fixed part can buffer the stress applied to the supporter, and can withstand the expansion and contraction effects of repeated use of the supporter without causing cracks or partial peeling of the fixed part. When heated by body heat, it emits far-infrared rays, warming the worn part from the core, and has an excellent effect as a supporter.
