Technical Field

The present invention relates to a clothes structure, and more particularly, to a clothes structure having an adjusting band and a patch unit on a clothes body, wherein the patch unit can closely contact with the skin surface of a user to provide electrotherapy or thermotherapy by operating the adjusting band.

Background

In general life, work, exercise, stress, aging and other factors cause muscle stiffness and pain, so that in adults, the pain parts are usually located on the lower back, neck and shoulders, most adults experience the pain, and the original slight muscle pain is more likely to develop into chronic pain over time. Because physical labor, sports, overuse of electronic equipment, long-time driving, wrong sleeping posture, long-time bad sitting posture and the like easily cause the situations of muscle stiffness, pain and the like, many people can feel back pain, neck pain and/or shoulder stiffness when waking up, and the muscle stiffness and the pain situation are often aggravated after working on duty for a whole day, so that the night sleeping quality is influenced due to aggravation of the pain feeling after the people go home from work, and the vicious circle of continuously aggravating the pain feeling is caused for a long time. Worse still, most people often do not have the time or money to conduct routine clinical treatment, so that the original mild pain easily becomes a recurrent severe chronic pain. In addition, many athletes, office workers, heavy-duty manual workers, drivers, students, and walking-oriented service personnel are almost every day exposed to symptoms of back pain, neck pain, and/or shoulder stiffness. The patient suffering from pain caused by stress or injury can suffer greater stress and injury in daily life or other activities. Ideally, the patient is treated on a regular basis to help relax their stiff muscles, improve local circulation to achieve daily pain relief, stop the vicious circle that exacerbates pain, and prevent the onset of chronic pain. However, the aforementioned treatment methods must be easy to self-administer, readily available, portable, etc., to be able to be used at work, at home, and on the go, and must be effective and easily integrated into the patient's daily life.

In addition, when people have ache symptoms, medicines such as ache sticking cloth, antiphlogistic and analgesic ointment and the like are mostly selected, and the main reasons are that the medicines are reasonable in price and easy to purchase and obtain; alternatively, some people may use a massage to relieve pain. However, the aforementioned methods are still lacking in use, for example, the commercially available ache plaster is very diverse, and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be added to achieve Anti-Inflammatory and analgesic effects. If the ache plaster is covered on the skin for a long time, the affected part is easy to cause allergy due to stuffiness and dampness, and symptoms such as red, swelling, itching and the like appear. And the ache plaster containing non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is used for a plurality of times and for a long time, which may cause the side effect of damaging liver and kidney.

In light of the above, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment may also cause the aforementioned liver and kidney injury problems due to its components. Moreover, when general people use the anti-inflammatory analgesic ointment, the pain part is often massaged at the same time, but no matter the people massage the pain part by hands or massage the pain part by an auxiliary device (such as a roller, a massage rod, a massage chair and the like), the people often have difficulty in relieving the pain part; if go to the massage shop to seek help from others, it will take extra time and money. In addition, some diseases (such as degenerative arthritis, tendonitis, muscular and muscular membrane pain syndrome, etc.) cannot be solved effectively by means of pain-relieving plaster, anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment, manual massage, etc., so people seek help of other Physical Therapy (Physiotherapy or Physical Therapy).

Typically, a physical therapist will first assess the patient's symptoms and then intervene in the patient's problem from instrumental, hot or ice compress, free-hand or exercise therapies. In the therapeutic part of the apparatus, more and more people receive electrotherapy as a therapeutic means to relieve the symptoms of body soreness, because electrotherapy has the characteristics of reducing pain, enhancing muscle strength, delaying or avoiding muscle atrophy, relieving muscle spasm, improving skin blood circulation and the like. In practice, electrical therapy pulse signals (electrical nerve stimulation pulses) generated by an electrical therapy device stimulate nerves through electrode pads attached to the skin of a human body, thereby achieving an effect of relieving pain.

The medium frequency interference wave is a medium frequency wave with a frequency of 1,000-1,000,000 Hz, however, when the radio wave exceeds 10,000Hz, heat is generated, so the medium frequency wave frequency used clinically is between 1,000Hz and 10,000 Hz. In practical use, the medium frequency interference wave generally employs two sets of electrode sheets, the frequency difference between the two sets of electrode sheets is 0-100 Hz, such as 2,100Hz and 2,000Hz, after being electrified, the two sets of electrode sheets will penetrate the skin with the medium frequency wave, and the current interference occurs in the deep tissue, so as to generate a low frequency wave of 0-100 Hz, therefore, by means of the aforementioned electrotherapy method, the muscle can be stimulated by appropriate current, so as to effectively achieve the therapeutic purpose.

Because the conventional electrotherapy apparatus has a large volume and needs to be placed at a fixed place, the convenience of use is not enough, and some people especially develop household or portable electrotherapy apparatuses (such as low-frequency treatment devices) which have a small volume and can be attached with an instruction manual besides the instructions of a doctor or a rehabilitation teacher, so that the patient can attach electrode pads to the painful position to operate the electrotherapy apparatus by himself, and the effect of relieving pain is easily achieved. However, in practice, when a patient wants to attach the electrode patch to the skin surface of the back of the shoulder, the lower back or the waist accurately and firmly, the patient cannot see the back position of the patient or the arm cannot be bent back greatly, so that it is difficult for the patient to attach the electrode patch to the back position (for example, the back of the shoulder, the lower back or the waist) without the help of the relatives or friends. In addition, when the electrode plate is not completely attached to the skin of a human body, poor conduction can be caused, and a patient feels stabbing pain, so that when the patient is in a motion state, the surface of the electrode plate is not attached to the skin of the patient easily along with frequent or overlarge actions of limbs of the patient, and even the electrode plate falls off, so that the pain of the user is relieved, the treatment effect is achieved, and the user feels stabbing pain and even loses the treatment effect through electrotherapy. In addition, when the patient moves during the treatment, the electrode pad is easily detached, mainly because the electrode pad does not have any fixing means or mechanism to stably maintain the electrode pad at the current position. The frequent falling-off of the electrode leads to failure of the electrotherapy process and disappointment for the patient.

Another common treatment is heat therapy, which usually places a heating pad on the pain area, and in order to transfer heat from the heating pad to the body, the user must manually press the heating pad firmly against the body, or use a band or a weight to press the heating pad firmly against the body, so that the pain area receives heat, and the blood vessels relax by the heat, thereby relieving the pain. In addition, during the treatment process, the user often needs to sit or lie down, and the limb movement is not suitable to be too large, otherwise, the heating pad is easy to fall off from the body, if the heating pad is not attached to the body, the heat transferred to the body is insufficient, and the efficacy of the thermotherapy is lost. In other words, to ensure the effectiveness of thermal therapy, the pad must be placed against the body sufficiently to transfer heat to the body sufficiently for therapeutic effect. If the heating mat is in a loose state, the generated heat hardly has any positive effect on the body, and after all, in the above case, the tissues or blood vessels of the body cannot be significantly raised in temperature to cause vasodilatation and muscle relaxation.

Based on the above situation, the applicant found that if the electrode sheet, the heating pad or the electrode of the heating element is attached to the back or the waist, the user is often unable to perform the attaching operation by himself, which causes the aforesaid electrotherapy and thermotherapy device and product to be unable to effectively relieve or cure the pain of the user. Therefore, it is an important subject to be discussed herein how to effectively solve the above-mentioned problems to provide more convenient electrotherapy and/or thermotherapy products for users.

In order to provide more convenient electrotherapy and/or thermotherapy products for users, the applicant has devised a structure in which a patch unit (electrode patch and/or heat-generating patch) is coupled to a garment (e.g., jacket, trousers, etc.) so that the user can conveniently perform electrotherapy and/or hot compress after wearing the garment. However, the applicant has found that, depending on the body posture of each person, some users may not firmly attach the patch unit to the skin after wearing clothes, and the current or heat may cause weak stimulation to nerves and muscles, thereby losing the therapeutic effect. Taking the patch unit for electrotherapy as an example, when the patch unit is not tightly attached to the skin, the electrode can have poor conduction and cause the user to feel stabbing pain; for example, when the patch unit is not firmly adhered to the skin, the heat transferred to the user is insufficient, which results in losing the therapeutic effect. Therefore, the applicant has devised a clothes structure G with an adjusting mechanism for attaching at least one patch unit to a human body, which is used to tightly attach the patch unit to the human body, so as to satisfy the requirement of the user to adjust the patch units at different positions by himself or herself and easily, and further to enable the patch units to be firmly attached to the skin surface of the user, so that the user can conveniently perform thermal therapy and/or electrotherapy through the clothes structure G, thereby improving the local blood circulation, relaxing muscles and relieving the pain caused by daily activities.

Referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment of the present invention, the clothes structure G includes a clothes body 1, a plurality of first patch units 2, a plurality of second patch units 3, a plurality of first adjusting belts 4 and a plurality of second adjusting belts 5, however, in other embodiments of the present invention, a manufacturer can only install a single patch unit and a single adjusting belt according to product requirements, and also have an adjusting manner described in the following; although the garment body 1 is shown in fig. 1 as a top-coat style covering the shoulder to waist region of a person, the invention is not limited thereto and the garment body 1 may be made in any size and style, for example, it may be made as a shirt, golf ball, vest, T-shirt or any other style. The fabric material of the clothing body 1 can be cotton, polyester fiber, plastic, synthetic leather, etc., wherein the clothing body 1 does not need to be a tight-fitting style, and therefore, the clothing body 1 does not need to be made of a high-elasticity material or a compression material, i.e., no matter the clothing body 1 is fit on the human body or loosely, a specific area of the clothing body 1 can be pulled towards the human body and tightly attached to the human body by the subsequently mentioned adjusting mechanism, i.e., as long as the clothing body 1 can be worn on the human body and at least covers a partial area of the human body. In this embodiment, the clothing structure G includes at least one first/second patch unit 2, 3 fixed on the clothing body 1, and the first/second patch unit 2, 3 can also be electrically connected to the control device 6, so that the first/second patch unit 2, 3 can directly and painlessly transmit heat or current to the human skin. Since the first/second patch units 2, 3 are closely attached to the skin surface of the human body and are maintained in the aforementioned positions, the first/second patch units 2, 3 are not loosened or displaced even though the user performs a whole body movement during the treatment. In this way, the user can receive the electrotherapy and/or thermotherapy effect from the first/second patch unit 2, 3 no matter whether the user is working, resting, exercising or performing other activities. In addition, the positions of the first/second patch units 2, 3 can be adjusted according to actual requirements, and are not limited to the positions and arrangement manner drawn in fig. 1, in this embodiment, the first/second patch units 2, 3 can be respectively located at the left and right sides of the lower back and upper shoulder of the clothing body 1, and the first/second adjusting belts 4, 5 on the clothing body 1 are used for pulling and holding the first/second patch units 2, 3 against the skin surface of the user to directly perform electrotherapy and/or thermotherapy.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3C, the first/second patch units 2 and 3 can be an electrode patch 2A, a heat generating patch 2B or an electrothermal hybrid patch 2C. In some embodiments of the present invention, when the first/second patch unit 2, 3 is an electrode patch 2A, it is composed of at least a conductive layer 23, a film layer 24 and a connection layer 25, wherein the conductive layer 23 can be made of conductive fiber, conductive film, conductive cloth, aluminum foil or their mixture, or other conductive material, and the film layer 24 (e.g. conductive gel) is disposed on one side of the conductive layer 23, and the connection layer 25 is disposed on the other side of the conductive layer 23. As shown in fig. 3A, a first wire 22 is electrically connected to the conductive layer 23, and the first wire 22 can be fixed to the extended region of the conductive layer 23 by a metal sheet 221, and then the metal sheet 221 and the first wire 22 are covered and fixed by an insulating tape 222, and then the connecting layer 25 (e.g. adhesive) can be fixed to the inner side of the clothing body 1, so that the electrode patch 2A can achieve the electrotherapy effect by only sticking the film layer 24 against the skin surface of the human body when in use. However, the electrode patch 2A is not limited to the foregoing structure, and in other embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to omit the thin film layer 24 and make the conductive layer 23 directly contact the skin; alternatively, the connecting layer 25 can be a fabric (e.g., non-woven fabric, cotton fabric) and can be connected to a conductive sheet (e.g., aluminum foil) to be preferably bonded to the clothing body 1.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3B, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the first/second patch units 2 and 3 are heat generating patches 2B, the first/second patch units are at least composed of two insulating layers 26 (e.g., Non-woven fabric (Non-over fabric)) and a heat generating layer 27, wherein the heat generating layer 27 can be made of metal (e.g., fe-cr alloy wire, nichrome wire), graphene, carbon fiber or other electric heating material to generate heat when current passes through the heat generating layer 27 is located between the two insulating layers 26, and an outer surface of one of the insulating layers 26 (e.g., the insulating layer 26 below the figure 3B) can be fixed on the inner surface of the corresponding clothing body 1. at least one first lead 22 is electrically connected to the heat generating layer 27, so that the heat generating layer 27 can generate heat and radiate the heat through each of the insulating layers 26, thus, when the heating patch 2B is used, only the other insulation layer 26 (for example, the insulation layer 26 above the figure 3B) is required to be attached to the skin surface of the human body, so as to achieve the thermal therapy effect, and thus, the heat generated by the heating patch 2B can relax the blood vessels, further promote the local blood circulation and increase the metabolism speed, so that the inflammatory substances (inflammation substances) can be discharged out of the human body at an accelerated speed, thereby improving the self-repairing capability of the muscle tissue. Meanwhile, the hot compress (thermal therapy) can also increase the elasticity of the soft tissues of the human body to reduce muscle spasm, thereby relieving the pain feeling born by the human body and relaxing the emotion. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the insulating layer 26 can be omitted, and the heat generating layer 27 can directly contact with the skin.

In addition, since the electric therapy can have better therapeutic effect when being matched with the thermal therapy, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3C, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the first/second patch units 2, 3 are the electric heating hybrid patch 2C, at least one heating unit 28 can be disposed between a conductive layer 23 and the inner side surface of the clothing body 1. The heating unit 28 can be electrically connected to a first wire (not shown in fig. 3C) to receive electric current from the control device 6 and convert the electric current from electrical energy to thermal energy. In addition, the conductive layer 23 can be electrically connected to the control device 6 by other first wires besides the first wires, so that the user can select the electric therapy or the thermal therapy according to the requirement, even simultaneously perform the electric therapy and the thermal therapy.
