Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to wet tights worn for waterproofing / cold protection during underwater work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a material for wet tights to be worn for waterproofing / cold protection when working in water, a synthetic rubber foam sheet such as chloroprene with a closed cell structure that has waterproofing / cold protection gives the skin feel when worn. A stretchable cloth, such as a nylon knit jersey, which is used to reinforce the foam sheet and is reinforced and laminated with an adhesive is used. In the processing, the material is cut to form a plurality of sheet pieces having a predetermined shape, and the cut surfaces of the sheet pieces are joined with an adhesive to form a three-dimensional shape that fits the body shape.

In order to make it easy to wear, the conventional wet tights are opened by opening the flap hagi part from the bottom in the vertical direction, and a fastener is attached to the part so that they can be freely opened and closed.
A knee pad is applied to the front part from the kneecap to the ankle in order to improve the appearance and prevent bruising and injury to the knees and shins when falling. However, when it is immersed in water, there is a problem that water leaks from around the fastener and the interior is flooded.

Further, in order to prevent water leakage from the fastener to the inside, it is conceivable that the upper part of the socks made of the same material is bonded to the tights in an annular shape with an adhesive, which is between the synthetic rubber foam sheets. Since the stretchable cloth is interposed, water may penetrate inside through the voids of the stretchable cloth. In order to prevent water from penetrating into the interior, it may be possible to repeat and impregnate the elastic cloth with the adhesive to completely fill the voids with the adhesive. There is a problem in that the joint is made hard and the tightness of the tights is uncomfortable.

[0005]

The problem to be solved is that water leaks from the fastener of the wet tights and the water leaks into the inside.

[0006]

According to the present invention, stretchable cloths D and E such as nylon knit jersey are stuck on both sides of a synthetic rubber foam thick sheet C such as chloroprene having a closed cell structure via an adhesive F, Made of laminated material B that has been laminated,

In wet tights 1 in which a fastener 3 is attached to a flap 2 part that is vertically cut open from below to open and close, a stretchable cloth E on the inner surface of the flap 2 and directly below the knee is annularly circumferentially arranged. The thin foam sheet C is exposed to the annular exposed portion 2a, and stretchable cloths J and K such as nylon knit jersey are attached to both sides of the synthetic rubber foam thin sheet H of the same closed cell structure with the adhesive L. The upper end of the sock 4 made of the laminated material G, which is pasted and laminated through, is diagonally cut outward so as to have a width equal to the width of the annular exposed surface 2a over the entire circumference. The cut surface 4a is fitted and joined with an adhesive M.

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings, in which 1 is wet tights, and both sides of a synthetic rubber foam thick sheet C such as chloroprene having a closed cell structure are stretchable as much as possible with nylon knit jersey or the like. Large cloth D,
Laminate material B obtained by laminating E through a thin layer of adhesive F so as not to impair its elasticity.
, A plurality of sheet pieces 1a having a predetermined shape, ...
a is made, and the cut surfaces of the sheet pieces 1a, ..., 1a are joined with an adhesive to fit the body shape (if too much, the resistance of water in the water is great and it hinders the operation. Water pressure gives a cramped feeling to the body) It is a three-dimensional shape. In order to make it easy to wear, the wet tights 1 are opened and closed by opening the flap hagi 2 from the bottom in the vertical direction and attaching the fasteners 3. In addition, aiming at improving the appearance and preventing bruising and injury to knees and shins when falling,
A knee pad P is applied to the front part from the kneecap to the ankle.

Further, the feature of the present invention is that the elastic cloth E on the inner surface of the fluffy nail portion 2 and directly below the knee is annularly cut in the circumferential direction to form the annular exposed surface 2a exposing the thick foam sheet C (sheet. When the piece 1a is formed, it is cut off before joining.) Similarly, stretchable cloths J and K such as nylon knit jersey are attached to both sides of a synthetic rubber foam thin sheet H such as chloroprene having a closed cell structure with an adhesive L, A slanted cross section 4a was formed by obliquely cutting the upper end of the sock 4 made of the laminated material G, which was laminated, outwardly and obliquely so as to have a width equal to the width of the annular exposed surface 2a over the entire circumference. In addition, the slanted cut surface 4a of the sock 4 is fitted into the annular exposed surface 2a just below the knee on the inner surface of the swelling portion 2 and is joined with the adhesive M.

In addition, the stretchable cloths E and J of the fluffy nail portion 2 and the socks 4 are adhered to each other directly below the joint between the annular exposed surface 2a and the oblique cut surface 4a through the adhesive N, which is a synthetic material. Rubber foam sheets C, H and elastic cloths D, E,
Similar to the adhesion with J and K, the elasticity of both is not impaired. The thickness of the tights 1 is preferably 3 to 5 mm in consideration of the cold protection in water and the ease of action, and the thickness of the socks 4 is sufficient because the thickness of the socks 4 is inserted inside the fluffy hook portion 2. Is 1.0-1.5m that can achieve waterproofing purpose
m is enough.

The annular exposed surface 2a that joins the upper end of the sock 4 is formed on the inner surface of the flap 2 just below the knee (from below the position avoiding the trailing part of the back of the knee to above the position avoiding the maximum part of the flap). (Between 3 and 4 cm)
Of course, the joint position is higher than the upper end of the fastener 3 to prevent water leakage, but if the relatively thick and hard joint hits the back of the kneecap or the thickest part of the flap, the tightness of the tights 1 will be improved. It is to minimize the damage to the skin and the feeling of pressure on the pillow.

To explain the operation, the swelling part 2
Since the thin socks 4 are connected to the inside of the, it is easy to wear when the fastener 3 is opened. When the fastener 4 is closed and the work is carried out in water, the joint between the annular exposed surface 2a and the diagonal cut surface 4a is joint between the synthetic rubber foam sheets C and H, and an extremely thin adhesive M Only through the, the great joint strength and waterproof effect. Also,
As for the cold protection effect, the synthetic rubber foam sheets C and H are doubled, which is larger than the conventional one.

[0013]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
It is easy to wear, completely prevents water leakage to the inside, has flexibility, is comfortable to wear, and has excellent workability.
