Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pad for women, and its purpose is to attach it to the lower abdomen of a woman in advance when wearing a swimsuit, leotard, etc. To provide a pad for women that prevents the appearance of a feminine silhouette and also exhibits one-point sexual appeal as a fashion item.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, when women use sports outwear such as leotards and swimsuits, it is necessary to wear panty girdle type supporters in advance, which reduces functionality. It may be difficult to express the beauty of a woman's natural body shape. In addition, if the supporter is not used to prevent this, the female silhouette may become obvious and give a sense of obscenity. In order to eliminate these drawbacks, methods have been proposed such as making the lower abdomen part of swimsuits, leotards, etc. double-layered, or fixing the core body to the part, but these methods are economical, functional, and have a healthy sexual appeal. From these aspects, it cannot be said that it is still sufficient.

Furthermore, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-32577, a panty body in which a pad body is integrally sewn to a panty body has already been proposed. However, when the pad body is sewn integrally with the panty body in this way, since the height and weight of each woman differs from individual to individual, the size of the panty can be varied in addition to the size of the pad body. The number of products required is equal to the number of body parts multiplied by the size of panties, which is uneconomical and increases the cost of one product. This method has the problem of not being able to handle high-mix, low-volume production. In addition, although the above-mentioned bodysuit can prevent a woman's silhouette from appearing and giving a sense of obscenity, this bodysuit has a uniform thickness, so it does not compensate for the curves of a woman's body. The problem was that it was impossible to express its beauty by emphasizing it.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the present invention was made to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and its purpose is to be economical and to be extremely natural even when worn. To provide a pad for women that can give a feminine look, complement or emphasize the curves of a woman's natural body shape, and express beauty.

That is, in this invention, a pad material formed into an inverted triangular shape with a constant thickness is formed by press molding, and both sides are formed into curved shapes so that the center part is thick and the peripheral part is thin. The pad body is composed of a pad body and a fabric covering both the front and back surfaces of the pad body.

First, the shape of the female pad of the present invention is approximately an inverted triangle to match the female lower abdomen, and may be either an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle. The dimensions are appropriately determined according to the woman's physique, but the base and height of the triangle are about 5 to 15 cm. The peripheral edge of the pad body needs to be formed thin in order to create a very natural feeling when wearing this pad for women. The thickness of the approximately central portion of the pad body is preferably 0.5 to 10 mm in order to function as a women's pad, although this varies depending on the purpose of use. Materials for the pad body include foamed polyurethane, foamed polyethylene, foamed polyvinyl chloride, synthetic fiber nonwoven fabric, etc.
Foaming polyurethane is preferred because it provides an excellent feeling of use.

The women's pad of the present invention is composed of a single independent member having an inverted triangular shape with a thin peripheral edge and a cloth covering the entire surface of the pad body. Examples of fabrics include woven and knitted fabrics such as cotton, nylon, and polyester, as well as Gore-Tex (a porous material made by stretching and fibrillating a molded product of tetrafluoroethylene resin; manufactured by WLGore). Any material may be used, such as a breathable waterproof sheet, but the fabric covering the back side of the pad body is preferably cotton, cotton blend fabric, or cotton knitted fabric from the viewpoint of texture and moisture absorption, since it comes into direct contact with the body. The surface side of the pad body is preferably made of woven or knitted synthetic fibers such as polyester/cotton blend, nylon, or polyester, in order to improve durability against abrasion from outwear such as swimsuits and leotards, and to provide good fit. , or a breathable tarpaulin sheet is applied.

It goes without saying that the breathable waterproof sheet includes a combination of nylon or polyester fabric and a porous polyurethane material. The fabric covering these pad bodies preferably has a woven or knitted structure that can be expanded and contracted in both vertical and horizontal directions, or at least in the horizontal direction, so as to adapt to changes in body shape due to movement during use.

The pad for women of this invention has commercial value as an independent member composed of the specific pad main body and fabric as described above, but in order to stably fix it to the lower abdomen during use, Preferably, a fastening member such as a string or a fastening tape is provided at each vertex of the triangular shape of the guard. Strings used for this purpose include regular rubber strings,
It may be a braided cord or even a thin strip-like woven or knitted fabric, and the fastening tape has hook-shaped or loop-shaped bristles, and the loop-shaped or hook-shaped bristles are attached to the position of the swimsuit or leotard where the tape faces. A fastening tape having a similar structure may be arranged so as to be freely engageable. In addition, as a means for attaching the female pad of the present invention to the body, instead of using the above-mentioned fastening member, a bag-shaped part is formed on the back side of the part of the swimsuit, leotard, etc. where the female pad is located, It may be inserted into this pouch-shaped part and worn on the body.

Any method of manufacturing the female pad of the present invention may be used to achieve the above configuration, but at least the pad body is formed into a predetermined shape by press forming. For example, the periphery of a pad material in an inverted triangular shape with a constant thickness is pre-press-molded, the pad body is formed so that the periphery becomes thinner, and fabric is placed on both the front and back of the pad body, and film, emulsion, solvent, etc. Lamination processing, high-frequency processing, or sewing processing using adhesive means. Fabric is placed on the pad material of a certain thickness from the front and back, and then pressed using a press mold with an inverted triangular cross section so that the periphery of the pad body becomes thinner. A manufacturing method that involves processing and cutting at the same time is preferable.

[Function] Since this invention is a single pad for women, it is only necessary to manufacture various pads that match the female body shape. In addition to the size, the size of the panties must also be varied, so that the number of panty sizes does not increase. In addition, the pad body is formed so that the peripheral edge is thin, so when the pad is worn, the thin peripheral edge blends in with the lines of the woman's body, giving it an extremely natural feel. In addition, the pad body has an inverted triangular shape, and is thick at the center and thin at the periphery.
Since both sides are curved, it has the effect of complementing or emphasizing the curves of a woman's natural body shape. Furthermore, the pad body is curved on both sides so that the center part is thicker and the peripheral part is thinner, so if clothing such as a swimsuit or leotard is worn over the pad, the clothing will not touch the pad. In addition to the force that presses the pad tightly against the body, a force acts from the periphery of the pad toward the center. Therefore, even if a force is applied to the surrounding area that causes the pad to shift from its position, a force from the periphery to the center of the pad acts against this force, effectively preventing the pad from shifting. be done.

Furthermore, since the pad body is formed by press molding, the thickness of the pad body can be easily adjusted by changing the shape of the press mold. Furthermore, since the pad body is formed by press molding, the shape of the pad body is excellent in stability, and the shape of the product is maintained in its initial shape for a long period of time. Therefore, it has a long-term effect of supplementing or emphasizing a woman's figure.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail using the drawings.

1 and 2, a female pad according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. This women's pad is composed of a pad body 1 and a vertically stretchable fabric 2 that covers the entire surface of the pad body 1.As shown in the figure, the shape of the pad body 1 (i.e., women's pad) is is approximately in the shape of an inverted triangle. In addition, the pad body 1 has a central portion 1
Both surfaces are formed in a curved shape so that a is thick and the peripheral edge 3 is thin. In this example,
The front and back sides of the fabric are padded with sewing thread 4 and the main body 1
It is constructed integrally with the body, and can be worn on the body using an extensible string 5 as a fastening member.

In addition, when using a fastening member, the fastening tape 6 may be stuck to approximately each apex portion of the inverted triangular shape as shown in FIG.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the invention as described above, it can be used as a pad for foundations such as women's bodysuits and underwear, or for sports outwear such as leotards and swimsuits, and furthermore, it can be used as a pad for hygiene during medical examinations. Not only can it be used as a guard, but it also has commercial value as a type of clothing for active one-point sexual appeal.When the above-mentioned breathable waterproof sheet is used as a fabric, it can be used for sanitary shorts, menstrual wear, etc. It can also be used as an obi.

Since it is a stand-alone pad for women, it is only necessary to manufacture pads in various sizes that match women's body shapes. Since it is necessary to change the size of panties according to height and weight, there are many types of panties to prepare.
This solves the problem of being uneconomical, increasing the cost of a single product, and not being able to handle high-mix, low-volume production. Furthermore, since the pad body is formed so that the peripheral edge portion is thin, the thin peripheral edge portion becomes integrated with the woman's body when the pad is worn, giving an extremely natural look. In addition, the main body of the pad has an inverted triangular shape, and both sides are curved so that the center part is thicker and the peripheral part is thinner, so it complements or emphasizes the curves of a woman's natural body shape. , can express beauty. Furthermore, the pad body is curved on both sides so that the center part is thick and the peripheral part is thin, so if you wear clothing such as a swimsuit or leotard over the pad, the clothing will not touch the pad. In addition to the force that presses the pad tightly against the body, a force acts from the periphery of the pad toward the center. Therefore, even if a force is applied that causes the pad's mounting position to shift around the pad, a counter force acts from the periphery of the pad toward the center, effectively preventing the pad from shifting. .

In addition, since the pad body is held in a predetermined shape by press molding, the thickness and curved shape of the pad body can be easily adjusted by changing the shape of the press mold. This makes it possible to easily manufacture pads for women that fit the female body shape.

Furthermore, since the pad body is formed by press molding, the shape of the product is stable and the initial shape can be maintained over a long period of use. Therefore, it can have a long-term effect of expressing beauty by complementing or emphasizing a woman's figure.
