BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an undergarment, and more particularly to an undergarment suitable for a bedridden sick person or an elderly person to wear when a caregiver takes a bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the care of bedridden elderly people has become a social problem, and for example, it takes a lot of labor to bathe an elderly person who can hardly move by himself. In order to deal with this, various bathing facilities including a reclining stretcher for bathing, a washing stand, a bathtub, and a transport device (including a vertical moving device and a horizontal moving device) for the reclining stretcher have been developed and sold in the past. However, such equipment is extremely expensive and requires a considerably large space, so it is difficult to equip it in a private house. Even with such facilities, it is often difficult to move the body of an elderly person by human power, and it is difficult for a caregiver to take a bath.

On the other hand, from the standpoint of taking a bath, even if the other person is a caregiver, keeping the naked body exposed to another person while bathing is accompanied by a feeling of mental resistance.

The present invention seeks to address the above problems.

[0005]

The present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, includes a rear cloth 2, left and right front side cloths 3, 3 sewn to the left and right side edges of the rear cloth 2, respectively. Touch to detachably connect the front central cloth 4 with the lower side sewn to the central lower side of the rear cloth 2, the front vertical side of the front side cloths 3 and 3 and the left and right sides of the front central cloth 4 in a detachable manner. A bottom garment 1 including closed type fasteners 7a and 7b, wherein the rear cloth 2 is made of non-stretchable cloth, and the front side cloths 3, 3 and the front center cloth 4 are made of stretchable cloth. Belt locking members 8 for locking and connecting both ends of the belt 9 are fixed to both left and right sides of the belt.

[0006]

The underwear is worn by a bedridden sick person or an elderly person, and both ends of the belt 9 are locked and connected to the belt locking member 8, and the caregiver B wears the belt 9 as shown in FIG. Raise it over your shoulder. Then, the back cloth 2 which does not expand and contract is located on the back surface of the sick person or the elderly person A, on the entire back and buttocks of the sick person or in the approximate center of gravity of the body, and the caregiver lifts and supports it through the belt 9 on the shoulder. The load applied to both hands of the person is greatly reduced, and in the bathtub, the caregiver can release the one hand and perform various operations such as washing the body and opening and closing the front central cloth 4 of the underwear, and the rear cloth 2 in the meantime. Since it does not expand and contract, the sick person or the elderly person is stably supported, and one caregiver can easily perform the bathing work of the sick person or the elderly person.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a lower garment (pants) according to the present invention. The lower garment 1 is a rear cloth 2 and left and right front side cloths 3, 3
And the front center cloth 4.

The rear cloth 2 is made of a strong cloth that does not stretch in any direction, and the front side cloths 3, 3 and the front center cloth 4 are made of cloth that can stretch in the vertical and horizontal directions. The right and left front side cloths 3 and 3 are sewn on the rear vertical sides thereof, and the lower center of the rear cloth 2 is sewn on the lower side of the front central cloth 4 to connect them as shown in FIG. 5, 5 and 6 are sewn portions of the rear cloth 2, the left and right front side cloths 3, 3 and the front central cloth 4.

Touch-close type fasteners (commercially available as Velcro tapes) 7a, 7a on the front longitudinal sides of the front side cloths 3 and 3 and on the left and right side portions of the front center cloth 4.
1 and 7b and 7b are respectively joined and sewn together and 7a and 7b are overlapped to form a lower garment 1 as shown in FIG.
Fastener 7a by holding the upper part of the
7b is disengaged, and the front part can be widened as shown in FIG. 3 so that it can be conveniently put on and taken off by a bedridden sick person or an elderly person.

A belt locking member 8 for connecting a belt 9 to be described later is sewn at two places vertically on one side, that is, four places in total, at the sewn portions 5,5 of the rear cloth 2 and the front side cloths 3,3. It is worn and mainly firmly bonded to the rear cloth 2.

In this embodiment, the belt engaging member 8 is formed into a long and narrow strip by laminating two tough cloths which do not expand and contract (the same cloths as the rear cloth 2), and they are formed like a ring, as shown in FIG. Shows an example in which both ends of the belt 9 are overlapped with each other and sandwiched between the rear cloth 2 and the front side cloth 3 and sewn together so that the belt 9 can be passed through the ring and tied together. 9 also has a structure in which the same cloth as the rear cloth 2 and the belt locking member 8 is cut into a thin shape, folded back in the width direction and sewn into a bag shape, and two belts 9 thus configured are always provided, An example is shown in which both ends of each of the belts 9 and 9 are respectively inserted into the upper and left belt locking members 8 and 8 and the lower left and right belt locking members 8 and 8 so that they can be connected and fixed.

In the above, when bathing a sick person or an old person, the undergarment 1 is put on after taking off the clothes. The undergarment 1 is covered with a rear cloth 2 made of cloth that does not stretch from the back of the waist to the entire buttocks, but the front side cloths 3, 3 and the front center cloth 4 are made of stretchable cloth, so that the body fits as a whole. Fits well and is comfortable to wear.

Next, both ends of the two belts 9 are respectively locked to the belt locking member 8, and the caregiver B puts the belts 9 and 9 on his shoulder as shown in FIG. Hold the shoulders and thighs of A while lifting them by hand and perform a bathing work.

In this state, since the waist of the sick person or the elderly person A near the center of gravity is supported by the shoulders by the belts 9 and 9, the load applied to both hands becomes considerably small, and the caregiver B's labor is reduced. When washing your body in the bathtub,
Remove the hands holding the thighs and wash the body thoroughly with the hands, or open the front center cloth 4 of the undergarment 1 and wash the part, and then attach the front center cloth 4 again. It can be carried out.

In this case, it is important that the rear cloth 2 of the undergarment 1 is made of a strong cloth that does not stretch. That is, if the back cloth 2 is a stretchable cloth, no matter how strong the cloth is, the back cloth stretches due to a slight movement of the body and the body rolls or pitches. Since it becomes an extremely unstable state, it becomes difficult for the caregiver B to perform the work of releasing one hand and washing the body with the hand as described above. Since the rear cloth 2 is made of a non-stretchable cloth as in the present invention, the support via the belt 9 becomes stable, and the various operations such as supporting one hand and washing the body with the one hand can be performed without anxiety. Is what you can do.

In this way, one caregiver can relatively easily take a bathing work for a bedridden sick person or an elderly person, and the psychological resistance of the care recipient is greatly alleviated. It is a thing.

If the belt locking member 8 and the belt 9 are made of cloth as described above, there is no possibility of accidentally injuring a sick person or an elderly person, but it is extremely safe.
The belt locking member 8 may be formed of a buckle in which safety is sufficiently taken into consideration, for example, by covering the entire circumference with a soft material, and the end portion of the belt 9 may be coupled / uncoupled by one-touch operation or an operation close to one-touch operation.

Needless to say, the undergarment of the present invention can be worn not only at the time of bathing, but is effective for the entire rescue.

[0020]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the caregiver's effort is reduced and the caregiver can be easily performed in underwear to alleviate the mental resistance of the caregiver who takes a bath. By having the function to do so, the bathing work for the sick and the elderly, which was conventionally difficult for one caregiver to do, can now be done easily and sufficiently by one person, and the cost is low. Together with this, it can bring about a great effect in practice.
