Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a men's pad worn on the lower abdomen during sports or the like.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, pants-type supports made of stretchable fabric have been worn by gentlemen on their lower abdomens during sports and the like. However, when such pants-type supporters are worn under competitive swimming pants, which are becoming smaller year by year, the peripheral edge of the supporter protrudes from the peripheral edge of the competitive swimming pants, making it uncomfortable to wear. In addition to giving a feeling of disgust in some cases, there were also cases in which the feeling of pressure on private parts became too strong, which also caused the problem of poor wearing comfort.

In addition, for men's pads that require the function of a protector, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 10-7680, a spongy protective material is laminated on the surface of the bowl, and the surface is further covered with a cloth material. There is something that is configured as follows. However, in the case of this pad, the bowl body is exposed on the inner side, and although this bowl body has ventilation holes, its surface is covered with a spongy barrier. Not only did it feel uncomfortable to wear, but it also caused problems such as the inside becoming stuffy and causing a bad odor when worn. In addition, since the bowl body, spongy barrier body, and cloth body are integrally formed, it is not possible to remove the spongy barrier body and replace it with a new one, and bad odors may occur after long-term use. There was also the problem of this occurring.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention was devised in view of this point of view, and its purpose is to provide an excellent feeling of wearing, and to prevent the inside from becoming stuffy or causing a bad odor when worn, and to be able to last for a long time. To provide a men's pad that can be worn comfortably and comfortably.

That is, the present invention consists of a pad having an inverted triangular shape and made of a soft material, and front and back fabrics that cover the surface of the pad, and the pad has a pad that faces outward at approximately the center of the pad. forming a bulging portion that bulges out, and forming a thin peripheral edge thereof;
Moreover, this pad for men is made to carry an adsorbent on the pad, and the cloth is formed with an outlet and the pad is detachably attached.

In the present invention, the pad has an inverted triangular shape to match the male lower abdomen, and may be either an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle, and has a bulge outward at approximately the center. A substantially hemispherical bulge is formed. Further, its dimensions are appropriately determined according to the man's physique, but the base and height of the triangle are usually 5 to 30 cm. The peripheral edge of this pad needs to be thin so that it looks natural when worn.

As the material for the pad, a soft material is used, and specific examples include foaming polyurethane, foaming polyethylene, foaming polyvinyl chloride, and nonwoven fabric, preferably having breathability. In this case, an adsorbent such as activated carbon is supported in the material to prevent the inside from becoming stuffy or causing a bad odor when worn.

In addition, the front and back fabrics that cover the surface of the pad may be made of woven or knitted fabrics such as cotton, nylon, or polyester, or Gore-Tex (a product name manufactured by WLGore, made by stretching a molded product of tetrafluoroethylene resin). Any type of breathable tarpaulin sheet, such as a breathable tarpaulin sheet (based on a fibrillated porous material), may be used, but the cotton lining that covers the back of the pad will come into direct contact with the body. A cotton woven or knitted fabric made of cotton or a cotton blend is preferable in consideration of texture, hygroscopicity, wearing comfort, etc.

Further, as for the outer fabric covering the surface of the pad, polyester or nylon woven or knitted fabric or a breathable waterproof sheet is preferable in consideration of durability against friction with outwear worn during sports, fitting properties, etc. The fabric covering these pads preferably has a woven or knitted structure that can be expanded and contracted in both the vertical and horizontal directions, or at least in the horizontal direction, so as to be able to follow changes in body shape due to movement during use.

Further, when the pad requires a function as a protector, it is preferable that the outer fabric has a predetermined hardness on its inner surface and is formed of a synthetic resin molded product such as polycarbonate having ventilation holes.

Further, an outlet is formed in the front or back fabric, and the pad is removably attached. Therefore, the used pad can be replaced with a new one by taking the pad in and out from this outlet.

In addition, there are no particular restrictions on the means for wearing this men's pad, but it is possible to attach a fastening member such as a string or fastening tape to each vertex of the inverted triangle, or to attach it to outwear. It is preferable to provide a bag-shaped portion for attaching this pad. In addition, when using a string as a fastening member, preferably a stretchable string is used.

〔Example〕

First Embodiment Hereinafter, the men's pad according to the present invention will be specifically explained based on the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2, a men's pad according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown. This men's pad is made of breathable open-cell polyurethane foam and is molded into an inverted triangular shape.
, a backing fabric 2 made of cotton that is attached to the back side of the fabric to cover this backside, a front fabric 3 made of nylon that is attached to the front side of the fabric that covers this surface, and a fabric that is arranged on the inner surface of the outer fabric 3. The reinforcing member 9 is molded from a hard synthetic resin and has a large number of ventilation holes 8, and the fixing member is made of a stretchable string 4 attached to each vertex of an inverted triangle. The pad 1 has a thin peripheral edge 5 and a bulge 6 that bulges outward at approximately the center thereof. Furthermore, activated carbon 10 is supported on the pad 1 as an adsorbent.

Further, the back fabric 2 and the front fabric 3 are adhered to each other on the outside of the peripheral edge 5 of the pad 1 to form a border 7, and the string 4 is attached using this border 7.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, a cotton lining fabric 2 that covers the cotton lining side of the pad 1 is formed with an outlet 13 through which the pad 1 can be removed.
The used pad 1 can be replaced with a new pad 1 by taking it in and taking it out.

The men's pads of this embodiment are useful for sports that require a protective function, such as judo and karate.

FIG. 4 shows a modification of the first embodiment, in which the pad 1 has a structure in which the back fabric 2 covering the back surface is made of ultra-high strength elastic fibers, such as poly-p-phenylene terephthalate. amide, poly-p
- The fiber layer 12 is formed of aromatic polyamide fibers such as benzamine and polyamide hydrazide, or composite fibers mainly composed of aromatic polyamide fibers such as fired graphite, boron fibers, etc., and is made of hard or soft synthetic resin. Molded reinforcing members 9 are used in combination. Specifically, the fiber layer 12 is, for example, Kevlar (registered trademark of DuPont). Note that reference numeral 3 in the figure is a front fabric that covers the surface of the pad 1, and this front fabric 3 is provided with an opening (not shown) through which the reinforcing member 9 can be inserted and extracted. It is becoming possible to do this.

Second Embodiment Next, FIG. 5 shows a men's pad according to a second embodiment.
