Object of the Invention
[0001] The present specification refers to a Utility Model application corresponding to
an improved pyjama, the obvious purpose of which is based on being configured as a
garment designed for being used to cover the body of elderly people with severe cognitive
deterioration, both of memory and in people affected by senile dementia or Alzheimer's
disease, preferably to be used when these people are to lying on a bed, or else they
must be raised from the bed to remain on an armchair or walk within a sheltered area,
so as to increase the mobility of their lower limbs, consisting of two bodies or areas
constituting the side areas of a garment that covers the body of a human being, and
in turn joined by a zipper , joined at the area corresponding to the collar of the
front portion of the garment, enveloping the body of the user from the top portion
to the crotch, and emerging and ending at the back portion in a point at the collar
opposite to where it begins.
Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture
of special garments, mainly of sanitary use.
Background of the Invention
[0003] The applicant is unaware of the current existence of an invention having the features
described in the present specification.
Description of the Invention
[0004] The improved pyjama proposed by the invention has a plurality of features and advantages
for being used by elderly people who present cognitive deterioration, both of memory
and in those affected by Alzheimer's disease.
[0005] More specifically, the improved pyjama consists of a body for unisex application,
designed from two areas constituting the left and right sides, which are joined by
means of a zipper, being sewn inside out, the path of the zipper starting at the top
front central portion for the purpose of joining both pieces constituting the garment,
and finishing at the top portion of the back, being capable of separating the two
areas constituting the garment and removing or changing the diapers normally used
in order to collect the organic fluids produced by incapacitated people, requiring
for this opening movement of the zipper down the back or back portion until partially
or completely completing its path, and allowing for the removal of the diapers, ending
in the front portion, and allowing the separation of the two pieces constituting the
garment for its removal from the surface of the body.
[0006] Subsequently, after removal a similar garment of a simplified form may be incorporated,
given that the pyjama allows an easy incorporation since it lacks sleeves and has
wide armholes in the area corresponding to the initial area of the arms of the user,
as well as having a reduced length in the area corresponding to the legs and having
a Bermuda shorts configuration, equally allowing an easy adaptation over the area
corresponding to the body, the end of the zipper being fastened at the top portion
of the back and allowing the joining of the two areas constituting the garment after
zipping, regardless of whether the same has fastening areas by means of buttons, and
an area in the waist pulled in by an elastic configuration allowing its adaptation.
[0007] It is thus achieved in a complete and absolute manner that the user thereof, generally
elders, sick people or people with psychomotor deficiencies, may remove it as they
do not have the means of removal thereof, as occurs with garments with buttons or
conventional fastening methods.
Description of the Drawings
[0008] To complement the description set forth and for the purpose of aiding to better understand
the features of the invention, two sheets of drawings are attached to the present
specification as an integral part thereof, which represent the following with an illustrative
and non-limiting character:
Figure 1 shows a plan view of the object of the invention, corresponding to an improved
pyjama seen from the front portion.
Figure 2 shows a plan view of the object represented in Figure 1, seen from the back
portion.
Preferred Embodiment of the Invention
[0009] In view of these figures, it can be seen how the improved pyjama (1) is constituted
of two pieces (2) and (3) made from textile material, having pockets (7) in the front
area, pieces (2) and (3) being joined by means of a zipper (4) which, starting at
the top portion of the back (5), ends at the top portion of the front area, arranging
fasteners (6) as reinforcement areas, located both at the collar area and in the waist
area, which is implemented by an elastic core (8) configured as an elastic band, allowing
the easy adaptation thereof to the waist of the user.
[0010] The legs of the pyjama (1) have a limited length in the bottom portion, being configured
as Bermuda-type legs, and incorporating a hem (9) in order to facilitate the adaptation
of pieces (2) and (3) constituting the garment (1).
1. An improved pyjama, characterised by being constituted from two pieces (2) and (3) constituting, respectively, the right
and left sides of the pyjama (1), joined by means of a zipper (4), which is joined
at its starting end at the top portion of the front area and finishing at the top
back area (5) after passing through the crotch, having fasteners (6) located at the
area corresponding to the collar and to the waist, where there is an elastic band
(8), and having pockets in the front area, as well as a hem (9) at the bottom portion
of the legs.
