Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to men's underwear and penis fixation support equipment, and more particularly to men's underwear suitable for men with true phimosis or pseudophimosis, which reduces the discomfort caused by covering the glans with the foreskin.

In conventional men's underwear, the penis and scrotum are separated in a space by using an opening in the cloth of the underwear itself. It cannot be found on the market. Undergarments intended to hold the penis using a positioning and holding mechanism such as a ring member can be worn on the penis considering the length and thickness of the individual's penis to some extent, but the ring member cannot be removed from the penis. There is not enough space between the penis and the penis to insert a finger, and it is difficult to operate to pull the small, one-point locking member. Also, even if both hands are used, the diameter of the annular member can be adjusted by putting the annular member over the penis in a space smaller than both hands, called the opening for urination, from the line of sight above the penis and operating the locking member. There are still difficulties.

JP 2011-52356 A JP 2014-224332 A

In the men's underwear described in the above two patent documents, there is no gap between the ring member and the penis to insert a finger, and it is difficult to operate to pull the small, one-point fastening member. In addition, in a person with true phimosis or pseudophimosis, the foreskin wraps around the annular member, and there is no effect of correcting the phimosis.

As in Patent Document 1, the annular member is pushed down in a space smaller than both hands, which is the opening for urination, while holding down the elastic edge from the line of sight above the penis. It seems difficult to adjust the diameter of From the viewpoint of operability, if the position of the elastic edge is lowered so that the finger can reach it, the glans will come close to the glans and the glans will be exposed from the elastic edge during normal operation or erection. Therefore, if the inside of the trousers rubs against the glans, the wearer may feel pain.

In the case of using the string-like member as shown in FIG. 8 in the patent document 1, if the mounting position of the ring-shaped member is above the glans as shown in FIG. No effect. In addition, if the structure is such that the foreskin is pressed against the foreskin during an erection, the foreskin will cover the glans when the erection is relaxed. In addition, if the fixing of the locking member is too strong and the expansion and contraction of the annular member is insufficient, the user will feel a tightening pain when the erection continues for a long period of time, such as when sleeping.

If the hook-and-loop fastener is placed inside the underwear as in Patent Document 2, the hook-and-loop fastener directly hits the wearer's body when the sealing portion of the folded piece is folded forward, causing discomfort and pain to the wearer. it is conceivable that.

Therefore, in the present invention, by arranging the attachment position of the penis fixing support device of the underwear main body closer to the main body of the underwear than the tip of the glans, regardless of whether it is normal, during erection, or during erection relaxation, it is always directed toward the base of the penis or from the scrotum. To provide men's underwear for true phimosis and pseudophimosis which can avoid discomfort due to the foreskin covering the glans by pulling the foreskin from behind.

In addition, in the present invention, a stretchable cloth with a relatively low coefficient of friction is used for the penis fixing member for men who have mild pseudophimosis or no phimosis, only the penis fixing support device at the tip of the penis is used, and the elastic rubber is used. To provide men's underwear which can hold the penis at an arbitrary angle by changing the length of the part and can be worn in a state in which the penis and the scrotum are not in close contact with each other.

In order to achieve the above object, the men's undergarment of the present invention has an undergarment body for correcting phimosis, in which the penis and scrotum are exposed from the inside of the undergarment to the outside of the undergarment when the undergarment is worn on the front surface of the undergarment body. An opening and a penis fixing support device that is detachable from the undergarment body and that has an exchangeable penis fixing member is provided around the opening, and the penis fixing support device fixes the lower part of the glans of the penis at two points. A first penis fixing member, a second penis fixing member for fixing the root portion of the penis at two points, and a first stretchable rubber member for maintaining a state in which the first penis fixing member is pulled toward the body. , a second stretchable rubber member for maintaining the state of pulling the second penis fixing member toward the lower side of the body; a second fastener that is provided at the edge of the leg of the underwear body and fastens the second elastic rubber member across the scrotum at two locations; and the underwear that covers the entire penis and the groin and a detachable male organ cover cloth member on the outer front surface of the main body.
In addition to the above configuration, the penis fixation support device includes a first elastic rubber member having a structure penetrating through a through hole formed in the first penis fixation member, and an extension formed in the second penis fixation member. and a second stretchable rubber member having a structure penetrating through the through hole, and fasteners for attachment to the underwear main body are provided at ends of the first stretchable rubber member and the second stretchable rubber member. prepared.
Furthermore, in addition to the above configuration, the first penis fixing member and the second penis fixing member, and the first stretchable rubber member and the second stretchable rubber member are each interposed with a detachable intermediate rubber. Concatenated.

Furthermore, a man who uses stretchable cloth, self-adhesive bandage, self-adherent stretchable bandage, stretchable bandage, gauze singly or in combination on the surface of the first penis-fixing member and the second penis-fixing member. underwear.

By arranging the fastener 4 of the penis fixing support device 3 of the underwear main body closer to the underwear main body than the tip of the glans, regardless of whether it is normal, erected, or relieved of erection, it is always in the direction of the base of the penis or from the scrotum. By pulling the foreskin from behind, you can avoid the discomfort caused by the foreskin covering the glans. By increasing the number of fasteners 4 of the underwear main body and male genitalia cover cloth fasteners 8, it becomes possible to adjust the attachment position of the penis fixing support device 3 and the attachment position of the male genitalia cover cloth 7, and the elastic rubber 11 and the male genitalia cover cloth 7 can be adjusted. You can change the tension of the cover cloth.

By changing the diameter, width, thickness, and shape of the penis fixing member 9, the contact area with the penis and the holding force can be changed, and the effect of suppressing movement of the foreskin can be adjusted. By changing the length of the elastic rubber part, it is possible to hold the penis at any angle, such as horizontal or upward.

By changing the material of the penis fixing member 9 to change the frictional force of the contact surface with the penis, the effect of correcting the foreskin can be adjusted. For men with mild pseudophimosis or no phimosis, a stretchable cloth with a relatively low coefficient of friction is used as the penis fixing member, and only the penis fixing support device at the tip of the penis is used, allowing the penis to be held at any angle. can be held, and underwear can be worn in a state where the penis and scrotum are not in close contact.

When the penis fixing member 9 is attached to or removed from the penis, with the penis fixing support device 3 attached to the edge 5 of the opening of the underwear main body and the edge 6 of the leg of the underwear main body, both legs are opened or the elastic rubber is held with both hands. A gap can be created between the penis fixing member 9 and the penis by pulling 11 from both sides in the outer peripheral direction, so that the penis fixing member 9 can be easily attached to and removed from the penis.

In a state where the male genitalia cover cloth 7 is removed from the underwear main body or only both lower parts of the male genitalia cover cloth 7 and the underwear are fixed, the penis fixing support equipment 3 can be easily attached to the underwear main body or the penis using both hands. enough space for By arranging the attachment part of the male genital cover cloth 7 on the outside of the underwear main body, it is possible to prevent the uneven locking part from coming into direct contact with the skin when the underwear is worn.

The penis fixation and support device 3, which is an assembly of a plurality of members, is made entirely or partly replaceable, so that underwear can be made according to the size of each individual's penis and scrotum. Even when the underwear is deteriorated from the viewpoint of durability due to repeated washing, the underwear body, the fastener 4, the elastic rubber 11 and the detachable intermediate rubber 12 can be used for a long period of time by partially replacing them with new ones.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings for understanding of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view of a worn state of a men's underwear body according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of a worn state of a men's underwear body according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the men's underwear body of the embodiment in a non-wearing state. FIG.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of using two penis fixing support devices 3 assuming that they are worn by men with true phimosis or pseudophimosis, but as shown in FIG. In addition, the penis protruding from the elliptical opening 2 is held at two points by two penis fixing support devices 3 arranged closer to the underwear body than the tip of the glans. The fastener 4 uses a sewn magnet or a snap button to fix the penis fixing support device 3 and the underwear body. Since the fastener 4 of the underwear main body and the penis fixing support device 3 are assumed to be repeatedly attached and detached, it is necessary to arrange the fastener 4 on the underwear side at a site where the strength can be easily increased while ensuring breathability. In consideration of this, as shown in FIG. 3, the edge 5 of the outer circumference of the opening and the edge 6 of the leg of the underwear main body are preferable as the positions of the fasteners 4 of the penis fixing support device 3 . By providing two or more fasteners 4 on the undergarment side, it is possible to adjust the angle of pulling the penis, so the number of factors for adjusting the force for suppressing the foreskin increases.

A penis fixation support device 3 at the tip of the penis is fastened to the edge 5 of the outer periphery of the opening, and by pulling the foreskin from the base direction of the penis, the movement of the foreskin from the rear end of the glans to the base of the penis is suppressed. The penis fixing support device 3 at the base of the penis is fixed to the edge 6 of the leg of the underwear main body and pulls the foreskin from the rear of the scrotum, thereby suppressing the movement of the skin at the base of the penis and the base of the penis in the direction of the glans. . By doing this, it is possible to avoid the discomfort caused by the foreskin covering the glans regardless of whether it is normal, erection, or relaxation. The front surface 1 of the underwear main body, the edge 5 of the outer periphery of the opening, and the edge 6 of the legs of the underwear main body are preferably made of a material with a low expansion ratio that can resist the force that pulls the penis fixing support device 3 in the direction of the glans when the penis is erected. In order to adjust the force for suppressing the movement of the foreskin, the penis fixing member 9, the elastic rubber 11 of the elastic rubber part, and the detachable intermediate rubber 12 are replaceable.

For men with mild pseudophimosis or no phimosis, a stretchable cloth with a relatively low coefficient of friction is used as the penis fixing member 9, only the penis fixing support device 3 at the tip of the penis is used, and the elastic rubber 11 and the detachable type are used. By changing the length of the intermediate rubber 12, the penis can be held at an arbitrary angle, and the underwear can be worn in a state where the penis and the scrotum are not in close contact with each other.

FIG. 4 shows an example of an integrated penis fixing support device 3 , and FIG. 5 shows an example of a split type penis fixing support device 3. As shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows a penis fixing support device 3 having a stretchable rubber 11 penetrating a through hole 10 formed in a penis fixing member 9 and a fastener 4 attached to the stretchable rubber 11 and attached to an underwear body. FIG. 5 shows a penis fixing support device 3 having a detachable intermediate rubber 12 connected through a penis fixing member 9 and a stretchable rubber 11, and a fastener 4 attached to the stretchable rubber 11 to an underwear body. . As shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to pass the elastic rubber 11 through the through hole 10 in the penis fixing member 9, or to integrate the penis fixing member 9 and the elastic rubber 11 part into a penis fixing support device 3. If the fixing member 9 is provided with the through hole 10, the partial deformation amount of the penis fixing member 9 is large when it is pulled by the elastic rubber 11 during erection or attachment/removal, and it is assumed that it is not suitable for long-term use. be done. As for the structure, using a detachable intermediate rubber 12 as shown in FIG. 5 makes it easier to change or replace the combination of the penis fixing member 9 and the elastic rubber 11, and also suppresses the deformation of the penis fixing member 9 when worn. be done.

The embodiment of the penis fixing member 9 that directly touches the penis is replaceable in order to give flexibility to each individual, so various possibilities are conceivable. The effect of suppressing the foreskin can be adjusted by using elastic bandages, elastic bandages, and gauze singly or in combination. Either roll the fabric in the lateral direction to form a ring, or fold it into a long plate and roll it in the longitudinal direction to form a pipe. Fix the pipe.

When the penis fixing support device 3 is attached to the underwear main body, the detachable intermediate rubber 12 and the elastic rubber 11 are connected to the underwear main body, so that the foreskin is prevented from getting over these elastic rubber parts. Therefore, the foreskin does not wrap the entire penis fixing member 9 even when exercising, sitting in a forward leaning position, riding a horse or riding a motorcycle. If the penis fixing member 9 comes off from the penis, the outer peripheral surface of the penis fixing member 9 may be replaced with a material with a high friction coefficient such as a self-adhesive bandage, the diameter may be reduced, or the elastic rubber 11 or removable type may be attached. If the length of the intermediate rubber 12 is replaced with a shorter one, it becomes difficult to come off.

When changing the diameter of the penis fixing member 9, for example, if a pipe shape with an inner diameter of 20 mm is to be reduced by 1 mm to a pipe shape with an inner diameter of 19 mm, the circumference length is 1π, that is, about 3.1 mm. It is necessary to shorten the length in the longitudinal direction and cut it. The optimum diameter changes depending on the thickness and elasticity of the fabric. A normal penis is elastic and has an elliptical cross-section, so measure the normal circumference of the part of the penis that is to be attached with a bandage or thread, and use several pieces with a smaller diameter of 2 mm or more as a guide. It is considered a shortcut to find the optimum diameter by trying different types. Although there may be individual differences, it is considered that a width of 10 mm or more for the penis fixing member 9 in the worn state is sufficient to generate a frictional force with the foreskin. In addition, it is considered that the diameter of the tip of the penis is smaller than the diameter of the base of the penis.

The elastic rubber 11 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be a flat rubber or a round rubber as long as the fastener 4 can be attached. If the stretchable rubber 11 has stretchability, it can follow the erection and relaxation of the penis. It is desirable that the detachable intermediate rubber 12 is made of a self-attachable material or attached with a snap button or the like so that the detachable intermediate rubber 12 itself can be detached from the purpose of the part.

Even when the erection continues for a long time such as when sleeping, the penis fixing member 9 spreads in the outer peripheral direction, and the elastic rubber 11 also stretches to follow and support the fixation. If it bothers you when you go to bed, you can avoid wearing the penis fixing support device 3, or remove the fasteners 4 from the underwear main body on one or both sides while wearing it. Gone. Even when the erection is relaxed, the penis fixation support device 3 keeps fixation following the contraction of the penis. It is desirable that the expansion ratio of the penis fixing member 9 is 20% or more.

FIG. 6 is a front view of an example of the male genitalia cover cloth of the embodiment of the present invention with the penis non-adhering surface facing forward, and FIG. FIG. 8 is a front view, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the entire men's underwear with a male genitalia cover cloth according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the male genitalia cover cloth 7 is fixed to the underwear main body front surface 1 by the male genitalia cover cloth fastener 8, and as shown in FIGS. Since the organ cover cloth 7 can cover the penis, the scrotum, and the entire penis fixing support device 3, even if the underwear is visible to other people, it does not look much different from the existing underwear.

If an opening is provided in the male genitalia cover cloth 7 as shown in Figs. It's okay to remove it. A sewing magnet or a snap button is considered suitable for the male genitalia cover cloth fastener 8 . Even if the penis is fixed slightly upward, it is possible to urinate horizontally or downward by holding the penis and stretching the elastic rubber 11 or by leaning forward. If the edge 5 of the outer circumference of the opening that is attached to the penis and the fastener 4 of the penis fixing support device that is fastened to the tip of the penis are temporarily removed during urination, there is no problem with urination. In that case, it is desirable to arrange the fasteners 4 on the edge 5 of the outer periphery of the opening within the reach of fingers from the zipper portion of the trousers. Also, if the fastener 4 is a sewn magnet, attachment and detachment to and from the undergarment body during urination and sleeping can be facilitated.

As a matter of course, as for the fasteners between the male genital cover cloth fastener 8 and the underwear main body, if the fastener 8 on the male genital cover cloth side is a sewn magnet, the male genital cover cloth fastener 8 on the underwear main body side is also a sewn magnet. It is necessary to match the body side as well. Furthermore, when the male genital cover cloth fastener 8 is a snap button, if the number of snap buttons on the main body side is increased, even with the same male genital cover cloth 7, the mounting interval can be narrowed to widen the depth and fit the space between the penis and the scrotum. A margin in the depth direction can be given. It depends on the magnetic force of the sewn-on magnets, but if you place the magnets at narrow intervals, the magnets on the underwear itself and the magnets on the male genital cover cloth will stick to each other when you don't intend to, so it's best to avoid using too many magnets. good.

The material of the male genitalia cover cloth 7 has a higher degree of freedom than the underwear main body, and by making it replaceable, it is expected that the underwear will be highly customizable. For example, the color and pattern of the male genital cover cloth 7 may be different from that of the underwear body, and a highly breathable mesh material may be used. As for the presence or absence of openings for the underwear, and the method of closing the openings, it is possible to create underwear that suits individual tastes, such as using fasteners for right-handers, left-handers, and ambidextrous.

When the present inventor made a trial using commercially available underwear, the penis fixing member 9 was initially of a two-layer structure, and a pressure-fixing bandage with a lower elongation rate than the outer peripheral portion but with elasticity (elongation rate of about 18%) was used. Cut into a width of 8 mm and use it as a core material, wrap it in a self-adhesive bandage with a high elongation rate (expansion rate of about 50%) and a high coefficient of friction with a width of 25 mm, make it into a pipe shape with a width of about 10 mm, and fasten it by self-adhesion. used. The detachable intermediate rubber 12 used only the self-adhesive bandage and was effective in holding the penis and suppressing movement of the foreskin when configured as shown in FIG. In addition, the prototype did not stop blood flow (congestion) during an erection even when sleeping while wearing it. I was able to urinate while standing and sitting while wearing it without any problem. Even when the penis fixation support device was worn continuously for about 3 days except when bathing, no pain, itching, swelling, etc. occurred at the part where the penis fixation support device and the skin were in contact.

In the next prototype, for the penis fixing member 9, commercially available stretchable (roughly 23% stretch rate) knit tape with a width of 11 mm was sewn into a circular shape, and the joint part was sewn, and the detachable intermediate rubber 12 was a non-stretchable width of 9 mm. I changed it to twill tape and made it removable with a snap button. The elastic rubber 11 used is strong rubber 6 cord for underwear (about 4.5 mm width, 200% or more elastic ratio). The results were similar to those of the self-adhesive bandage prototype. As for the difference, although it was made with the same target diameter, the effect of suppressing the foreskin did not change when the inventor used it, and since the friction was lower than that of the self-adhesive bandage, the self-adhesive bandage was applied to the outer circumference during attachment and detachment. It was easier than the one used. However, since 100% cotton knit tape is used, once the diameter expands during an erection, the diameter when the erection is relieved does not completely return to its normal diameter, and remains slightly stretched. rice field.

When this underwear is put on the market, the most important points are the selection of the material for the penis fixing member 9 and the structure of the penis fixing support device 3, which are mass-producible. Evaluation factors include the degree of deterioration due to repeated washing and the number of times the material can be attached and detached, and it is conceivable to set the standard replacement frequency based on these results. In addition, regarding the fastener 4, it is considered necessary to examine the strength of the magnet and the method of sewing to see if there are practical problems with the sewn magnet. In addition, in order to distinguish the diameter of the penis fixing member 9 and the length of the elastic rubber 11 and the detachable intermediate rubber 12 easily, it is possible to identify them by using numbers or symbols or by using multiple colors. Consideration of the method is considered necessary.
