Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a disposable sweat-absorbing band for absorbing sweat and moisture, and is mainly used to absorb sweat by detachably attaching it to the inside of a helmet or hat. The present invention relates to a sweat absorbent belt that can be used as a simple cooling body.

(B) Prior art Until now, helmets, such as safety helmets that are required to be worn at construction sites, have been designed to provide an appropriate space between the body and the head inside the plastic body. It only has a liner that is integrated with the chin strap. Further, in the case of a motorcycle helmet, a sponge is attached to the inside of the main body as a cushioning member, or a pad is only partially or completely internally provided. Therefore, the sweat generated by the inside of the helmet is not removed, and the sweat generated around the forehead tends to flow into the eyes, which poses a danger to construction workers and motorcycle drivers. It was becoming.

On the other hand, hats worn in environments with strong perspiration, such as baseball caps, golf caps, and surgical caps, are made of breathable materials, but they have folded parts around the edge of the hat. In particular, the eave attachment portion, such as in a baseball cap, is made thicker. As a result, the sweating effect becomes particularly pronounced in the upper part of the forehead, and the sweat from there flows into the eyes, which tends to impair normal vision.

In addition, sweat temporarily adheres to the edge of the hat, especially on the forehead side, resulting in large stains, which tend to be unsanitary.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention: When wearing various helmets, hats, etc., it absorbs sweat at least from the forehead side and prevents sweat from getting into the eyes and interfering with normal work and operation. To obtain a disposable sweat absorbent belt that can be avoided and manufactured at low cost.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a sweat-absorbing belt that can be easily replaced to remove the feeling of uncleanness due to dirt, etc., and that does not cause discomfort due to absorbed sweat.

Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to obtain a sweat-absorbing band that can be used as a disposable sweat wipe, a coaster, a headband, a collar pad, etc. by appropriately changing the external shape.

In addition, it is an object of the present invention to obtain a sweat-absorbing band that can be used as a cooling or heating member and can be used like a simple ice pack or a disposable water bottle.

(d) Means for solving the problem The disposable sweat-absorbent belt according to the present invention is made by wrapping the outer periphery of a polymeric absorbent material that absorbs liquid and turns it into a gel with water-permeable shaped paper, and then inserting the polymeric absorbent material from the outside. The above problem is solved by covering the outer periphery of the shaped paper with a water permeable nonwoven fabric attached to the inner surface of a resin film having unidirectional water permeability.

Furthermore, the sweat absorbent belt of the present invention has a narrow band-like external shape and is provided with a detachable engagement member on one surface of the nonwoven fabric, thereby providing a better solution.

Furthermore, by forming the nonwoven fabric from a material that has water permeability, air permeability, and soft skin feel, and using adhesive material or adhesive tape material for the engagement member,
This is an even better solution.

In addition, an even better solution can be provided by incorporating a cold storage or heat absorption member or a heat storage or heat generation member into the polymer absorber.

(E) Effect The disposable sweat absorbent belt according to the present invention is used by bringing it into contact with the human body. When the sweat reaches the sweat-absorbent band, it is absorbed from the nonwoven fabric, which has been given unidirectional water permeability by the resin film, to the polymer absorbent material through the shaped paper, where it is gelled and retained. Performs sweat absorption.

As the polymeric absorbent absorbs sweat, its volume increases, but the shaped paper covering its outer periphery prevents the polymeric absorbent that has become an absorbent gel from leaking. Furthermore, since the sweat retained in the polymer absorbent material is gelatinized, it will not evaporate due to body temperature or outside temperature, and there is no fear that the soft feel of the nonwoven fabric will be impaired.

In addition, by making the polymer absorber absorb cold water or placing a sweat absorbent band that has absorbed water in the refrigerator, the gelled polymer absorber acts as a cold storage material, and can be used as a simple ice pack. Used like a cold towel. On the other hand, by placing the sweat absorbent band in hot water, the polymer absorber acts as a heat storage material,
It is used like a simple kiro or a steamed towel.
At this time, the cooling ability or heat retention ability is improved by incorporating a cold storage or heat absorption member or a heat storage or heat generation member into the polymer absorber.

On the other hand, the sweat absorbent belt according to the present invention can be used for many purposes by changing its external shape. That is, it can be made into a circular or rectangular thin plate shape and used as a coaster, or made into a thin strip or ring shape and used as a headband or wristband, or used as a handkerchief, towel, etc. In any of these cases, water, sweat, etc. are gelled and absorbed, thereby preventing the coaster from sticking to the bottom of the cup and preventing sweat from dripping. In addition, it can be used as a good absorbent material in place of gauze in surgical procedures.

The sweat-absorbing band according to the present invention can also be attached to a desired location using a removable engagement member such as an adhesive tape provided on one side of the non-woven fabric. It is placed so that it always comes into contact with the body part. After use, the sweat absorbent band is removed from the site where it was placed and a new sweat band is placed.

(f) Example The basic structure of the disposable sweat absorbent belt according to the example of the present invention is, as shown in FIG. A forming paper 2 having water permeability provided as shown in FIG.
It is composed of a water-permeable nonwoven fabric 3 which has a resin film 3a having unidirectional water-permeability adhered to its inner surface and is provided so as to wrap around the shaping paper 2.

The shaping paper 2 is provided so that the polymer absorbent body 1 does not dissipate, and at the same time, an appropriate space is prepared to prevent the polymer absorbent body 1 from escaping to the outside when it absorbs sweat, etc., turns into a gel, and expands. It is configured so that it can be done. The unidirectional water-permeable resin film 3a allows sweat, etc. that have arrived from the outside via the nonwoven fabric 3 to pass through to the shaping paper 2 and the polymer absorbent body 1, while blocking the movement from the polymer absorbent body 1 side to the outside. It is water permeable.

Here, it is preferable that the surface of the nonwoven fabric 3 is provided with minute spaces so as to temporarily retain or prevent sweat and the like from flowing down. In addition, it has a soft surface and is made of a material that is breathable but not water-absorbent so that it feels soft and refreshing to the human body.

The material of the shaping paper 2 may be any material that can always cover the polymer absorbent material and has water permeability, but preferably, sweat etc. on the nonwoven fabric 3 can be quickly absorbed into the resin film 3a.
The water absorbency is such that it can pass through the polymer absorbent body 1 and be absorbed by the polymer absorbent body 1.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a sweat-absorbing band suitable for use as a headband or wristband according to another embodiment of the present invention, the sweat-absorbing band having a narrow band-like outer shape,
A removable engaging member 4 such as adhesive or adhesive tape is disposed on one surface of one end in the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the sweat absorbent band is attached by wrapping it around the head, wrist, etc., and engaging the engaging member 4 on the surface of the opposite end.

A sweat absorbent band according to another embodiment of the present invention has a third
As shown in the figure, it has a narrow strip shape similar to the sweat absorbent band of the embodiment shown in FIG. It is mainly a sweat absorbent band for helmets and hats.

The sweat absorbent band in this embodiment is detachably engaged with the area of the liner 6, which is the interior material of the safety cap 5, in contact with the forehead by an engaging member 4, as shown in FIG. 4 using a safety cap as an example. be done. The sweat-absorbing band in this configuration can be formed into a shape that makes it easy to contact areas of the human body where sweating is intense, such as the armpits and around the neck, and can absorb sweat by attaching it to underwear, etc. .

Further, the sweat absorbent band of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, ie, the sweat absorbent band not provided with the engaging member 4, can be adapted to many uses by changing its external shape. For example, when used as a coaster, it absorbs water droplets and drink sauce that adhere to the top surface and turns into a gel, preventing the coaster from sticking to the bottom of the top or spilling drinks on the table. It can also be used as a cloth, towel, etc. to wipe off liquid spilled on the table.

(g) Effects According to the present invention, fluid is absorbed, gelled, and retained, and the gelled fluid components do not go back to the outside, so fluid can be reliably absorbed and the outer surface does not get wet. There is no fear of giving pleasure.

In addition, by providing a removable engagement member on one surface of the sweat absorbent band, it can be placed in such a way that it can come into contact with areas of the human body that are prone to sweating, and it can be easily removed and replaced after use. Discomfort caused by dirt, moisture, etc. can be avoided. In particular, if you cannot take off your sweat cap at any time, such as a safety helmet at a construction site, a motorcycle helmet, or a surgical cap at a hospital, make sure to attach a sweat absorbent band at least in a position where it can touch your forehead. By absorbing sweat,
It is possible to reliably prevent sweat from getting into your eyes and causing danger.

Furthermore, by changing the external shape of the sweat absorbent belt, it can be adapted to various uses.
By gelatinizing the polymer absorber in advance and keeping the sweat absorbent band in a cooled or heated state, it can be used as a simple cooling or heating device, making it extremely useful.

In addition, the sweat absorbent band has a simplified structure and can be made of general-purpose materials, so it can be made disposable and reasonably priced.
