[0106] The fan-equipped garment 100 circulates air taken into the garment body 1 by the fans 2 along a surface of a body or underwear of a wearer. It evaporates sweat on the body. Heat of vaporization generated by evaporation cools the body.
[0107] Garment Body
[0108] As shown in
[0109] As shown in
[0110] First Fastener
[0111] The first fastener 11 is used to open and close a front part of the garment body 1 when the fan-equipped garment 100 is put on. As shown in
[0112] Air Seal
[0113] As shown in
[0114] Fan Mount Hole
[0115] As shown in
[0116] The fan 2 is mounted so as to pass through the fan mount hole 13. Air is taken into the garment body 1 from the outside through the fan mount hole 13.
[0117] Positions where the fan mount holes 13 are formed are not limited to the above positions. The far mount hole 13 may be for mod on a lateral side, the front side, or the like of the garment body 1. The number of fan mount holes 13 is not limited to two. Less or more than two fan mount holes 13 may be formed. The number of the fans 2 to be mounted corresponds to the number of the fan mount holes 13.
[0118] Hole Reinforcement Member
[0119] As shown in
[0120] The hole reinforcement member 14 can be attached to the garment cloth constituting the garment body 1 in any method, such as sewing or adhesion. A lining that covers the hole reinforcement member 14 may be provided on the inner surface of the garment body 1.
[0121] The hole reinforcement member 14 may not be provided, though it makes it difficult to mount the fan 2 and makes it easy for the fan 2 to come off.
[0122] Air Outlet
[0123] The air outlet is an opening section that discharges air introduced from the fan mount hole 13 by the fan 2 after the air flows along the body or underwear of a wearer. As shown in
[0124] Power Source Holder
[0125] As shown in
[0126] The power source holder 17 may not be a pocket. As long as the power source 3 can be attached to the garment body 1, the power source holder 17 may have any configuration. The garment body 1 may not include the power source holder 17. In that case, for example, the power source 3 is attached to a belt or the like of trousers of the wearer W with a clip or the like. The power source 3 is not attached to the garment body 1.
[0127] Cable Holder
[0128] As shown in
[0129] As long as the cable holder 18 can hold the connection cable 4 at a predetermined position on the inner side of the garment body 1, the cable holder 16 may have any shape and may be made of any material. For example, like a common belt loop, the cable holder 18 is formed by sewing two upper and lower ends of a cloth that is long in a vertical direction. The position of the cable holder 18 is not limited to the position shown in
[0130] Rope Penetration Unit
[0131] The rope penetration unit 19 is a penetration portion for pulling out a rope R of a full harness type safety belt from the inside of the garment body 1 to the outside. A wearer wears the rope R inside the garment body 1.
[0132] In the present invention, the “rope” can be any member that connects a main body of the full harness type safety belt to a hook or the like for hooking on a fixed object. The rope may have any specific shape and may be made of any material.
[0133] As shown in
[0134] As shown in
[0135] a second fastener 191 which is a closable hole formed in the garment cloth of the garment body 1;
[0136] a rope passage 192 which is formed in a tubular shape and which includes an edge joined to an inner surface of the garment cloth of the garment body 1 so as to surround the second fastener 191; and
[0137] an opening section adjustment mechanism 193 formed at an edge of the rope passage 192 which is opposite to the edge joined to the garment cloth of the garment body 1.
[0138] As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the rope penetration unit 19 is formed on the upper part of the back part of the garment body 1 at the center in the right-left direction. This is because the garment body 1 is worn over the full harness type safety belt including the rope R connected to a back side of a wearer. The position of the rope penetration unit 19 is not limited to this.
[0139] For example, the rope penetration unit 19 may be formed on an upper part of the front part of the garment body 1 at the center in the right-left direction. The garment body 1 is worn over the full harness type safety belt including the rope R connected to a front side of a wearer. The rope penetration unit 19 may be provided on both the back part and the front part of the garment body 1.
[0140] It makes it possible to wear either of:
[0141] the full harness type safety belt with the rope R connected to a back side of a wearer; and
[0142] the full harness type safety belt with the rope R connected to a front side of a wearer.
[0143] Second Fastener
[0144] As shown in
[0145] Rope Passage
[0146] As shown in
[0147] A foldable sheet which is not breathable or has low breathability is used as a material for the rope passage 192. For example, the same material as the garment cloth of the garment body 1 may be used, or another material such as vinyl may be used.
[0148] Since the second fastener 191 and the rope passage 192 have such configurations, the rope passage 192 can be housed inside the garment body 1 when the rope penetration unit 19 is not used. In that case, the rope penetration unit 19 is pushed into the inner side of the garment body 1 via the second fastener 191. The second fastener 191 is closed. To use the rope penetration unit 19, the second fastener 191 is opened, and the rope passage 192 is pulled out.
[0149] Opening Section Adjustment Mechanism
[0150] As shown in
[0151] The cord 1933 can be any as long as it is an elongated member that can be passed through the cord loop 1931, and is not limited to the “cord”. For example, the cord 1933 may be a rubber cord made of rubber, a wire made of metal, or the like. A shape or the cord 1933 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a flat band.
[0152] The “substantially circular” shape is not limited to a circular shape, and includes any shape that can be formed by joining two ends of a curve with each other. Thus, the “substantially circular” includes polygonal shapes such as triangles and rectangles.
[0153] The outlet 1932 may not be formed in two places. Both ends of the cord 1933 may be exposed from one outlet 1932.
[0154] The cord 1933 may be formed in a substantially annular shape by connecting both ends with each other. In that case, a portion exposed from the outlets 1932 and provided with the cord stopper 1934 is not an end of the cord 1933.
[0155] The opening section adjustment mechanism 193 includes two joining parts 1935 at which the cord loop 1931 and the cord 1933 are joined.
[0156] The joining part 1935 is formed by joining the cord loop 1931 and the cord 1933 by a method such as sewing in a state where:
[0157] the cord 1933 is passed through the cord loop 1931; and
[0158] the cord loop 1931 extends without stretching or contracting.
[0159] The joining parts 1935 are formed at two positions keeping a predetermined distance between them.
[0160] The number of positions where the joining parts 1935 are formed is not limited to two.
[0161] For example, a further joining part 1935 may be provided at a portion between the joining parts 1935 in
[0162] For example, the joining part 1935 may be formed such that the cord loop 1931 and the cord 1933 are joined along a circumferential direction of the cord loop 1931 over a predetermined length. In that case, the cord loop 1931 and the cord 1933 are connected over an entire non-contractible portion 193a, which will be described later.
[0163] As a result, the portion of the cord loop 1931 between the joining parts 1935 (portion where the outlet 1932 is not formed) is the non-contractible portion 193a. In the non-contractible portion 193a, the cord loop 1931 cannot be contracted by pulling the cord 1933. The portion between the joining part 1935 and the outlet 1932 is the contractible portion 193b. In the contractible portion 193b, the cord loop 1931 can be contracted by pulling the cord 1933.
[0164] Thus, in the embodiment, the cord loop 1931 and the cord 1933 function as a contraction unit in the present invention. The joining part 1935 functions as an opening creation mechanism and a contraction control mechanism in the present invention.
[0165] In the above case where the joining part 1935 is formed such that the cord loop 1931 and the cord 1933 are joined along the circumferential direction of the cord loop 1931 over the predetermined length, the joining part 1935 is a non-contractible portion 193a. A portion where the joining part 1935 is not formed is the contractible portion 193b. For example, in
[0166] Also in this case, the cord loop 1931 and the cord 1933 function as the contraction unit in the present invention. The joining part 1935 functions as the opening creation mechanism and the contraction control mechanism in the present invention.
[0167] In order to facilitate utilization of the opening section of the rope penetration unit 19 as an air outlet, it is required that the opening section remains around the rope R even when the opening section is narrowed to the maximum. In the state where the opening section is narrowed to the maximum, the contractible portion 193b of the opening section adjustment mechanism 193 is contracted while the rope R of the full harness type safety belt is passed through the rope passage 192.
[0168] Even when the contractible portion 193b is contracted. to the maximum, the contractible portion 193b has a certain length due to overlap of the sheets forming the cord loop 191 as shown in
[0169] A size of the opening section. in the state where the opening section. of the rope penetration. unit 19 is narrowed to the maximum by the opening section adjustment mechanism 193 is the sum of:
[0170] a length of the non-contractible portion 193a; and.
[0171] a length of the contractible portion 193b in the fully contracted state.
[0172] Thus, the lengths of the non-contractible portion 193a and the contractible portion 193b are set such that:
[0173] the sum of the length of the non -contractible portion 193a and the length of the contractible portion 193b in the fully contracted state is longer than an outer circumference of the rope R of the full harness type safety belt to be used; and
[0174] a size of the opening section of the rope penetration unit 19 in the state where the contractible portion 193b is fully contracted is within. an appropriate range for utilizing it as an air outlet.
[0175] Specifically, when the garment body 1 is worn over a full harness type safety belt with a rope R having a peripheral length of about 40 mm, for example, a length of the non-contractible portion 193a is 80 mm. A length of the contractible portion 193b is 280 mm in a fully stretched. state, and is 50 mm in the fully contracted state.
[0176] In the above, the cord stopper 1934 is used as the fixing unit. The fixing unit is not limited to this. Any configuration can be adopted as long as the cord 1933 can be fixed in a state where a length of a portion of the cord 1933 passing through the cord loop 1931 is shortened by pulling the cord 1933 and by contracting the contractible portion 193b of the cord loop 1931.
[0177] The fixing unit may not be provided. For example, the cord 1933 may be fixed in a state where the length of the portion passing through the cord loop 1931 is shortened by binding the cord 1933 itself.
[0178] Fan
[0179] As shown in
[0180] The power source 3 supplies necessary power to the fan 2 through the connection cable 4.
[0181] The fan 2 may have any configuration as long as the fan 2 can be attached to the garment body 1 through the fan mount hole 13 to introduce air into the garment body 1.
[0182] Power Source
[0183] The power source 3 supplies power to the fan 2. For example, a lithium-ion battery with a safety protection circuit is built in the power source 3. The power source 3 is connected to the fan 2 through the connection cable 4.
[0184] As long as the power source 3 can supply power to the fan 2, the power source 3 may have any specific configuration.
[0185] As shown in
[0186] Connection Cable
[0187] The connection cable 4 connects the power source 3 with the fan 2. The power source 3 supplies the fan 2 with power required for operating the fan 2 through the connection cable 4.
[0188] As shown in
[0189] The connection cable 4 may have any specific configuration as long as the power source 3 can supply the fan 2 with power required for operating the fan 2.
[0190] The fan 2 and the power source 3 may be directly connected without the connection cable 4. Alternatively, the fan 2 and the power source 3 may be integrated.
Advantageous Effect of Embodiment
[0191] According to the fan-equipped garment 100 of the embodiment, the rope penetration unit 19 provided in the garment body 1 includes the opening section adjustment mechanism 193. The opening section adjustment mechanism 193 includes the outlet 1932. The cord loop 1931 is substantially annular and has a gap through which the cord can be passed. The cord 1933 longer than the outer circumference of the cord loop 1931 is passed through the cord loop 1931. A cord stopper 1934 is provided at a portion of the cord 1933 which is exposed to the outside from the outlet 1932. Thus, the opening section adjustment mechanism 193 is formed.
[0192] The opening section adjustment mechanism 193 includes the joining parts 1935 at two positions. The cord loop 1931 and the cord 1933 are joined at the joining parts 1935. The non-contractible portion 193a is formed in the cord loop 1931 between the joining parts 1935. In the non-contractible portion 193a, the cord loop 1931 cannot be contracted by pulling the cord 1933. The contractible portion 193b is formed between the joining part 1935 and the outlet 1932. In the contractible portion 193b, the cord loop 1931 can be contracted by pulling the cord 1933.
[0193] In a case where the joining parts 1935 are not provided as in the conventional case, the opening section of the rope penetration unit is closed by pulling both ends of the cord 1933. In this state, the cord stopper 1934 is fixed near the outlet 1932. Thereby, the opening section of the rope penetration unit can be sealed with a rope R of a full harness type safety belt being passed through the opening section. In this case, the rope penetration unit cannot be utilized as an air outlet that discharges air taken in by fans.
[0194] On the other hand, when the opening section of the rope penetration unit is opened to the maximum, an opening section is formed in the rope penetration unit. The opening section is large enough to allow a hook provided on the rope R of the full harness type safety belt to pass through the opening section. Therefore, air leakage from the opening section is too large. An amount of air discharged to the outside from the collar air outlet 15 and the sleeve air outlet 16 is insufficient. Cooling effect may be reduced on an upper part, sleeves, etc. of a fan-equipped garment. It is rather undesirable.
[0195] In that case, to improve cooling efficiency by utilizing the rope penetration unit as an air outlet, it is necessary to:
[0196] pull both ends of the cord 1933 to some extent;
[0197] adjust an area of the opening section of the rope penetration unit such that a slight opening section remains around the rope R; and
[0198] fix the cord stopper 1934 near the outlet 1932 in that state.
[0199] It is difficult for wearers of the fan-equipped garment to make such adjustments every time they put it on.
[0200] Contrary to this, according to the embodiment, no matter how much both ends of the cord 1933 of the opening section adjustment mechanism 193 are pulled, only the contractible portion 193b contracts. A length of the non-contractible portion 193a does not change.
[0201] Even when the opening section of the rope penetration unit 19 is minimized by the opening section adjustment mechanism 193, the opening section having a certain area remains as shown in
[0202] A wearer of the fan-equipped garment 100 minimizes the opening section of the rope penetration unit 19 by pulling both ends of the cord 1933. The wearer can adjust the area of the opening section of the rope penetration unit 19 only by fixing the cord stopper 1934 near the outlet 1932. The area of the opening section is a predetermined area determined by a maker of the fan-equipped garment 100. The opening section having a slight area remains around the rope R. The area is suitable for utilizing the rope penetration unit as an air outlet. It facilitates utilization of the opening section formed in the rope penetration unit as an air outlet.

[0204] As shown in
[0205] No joining part 1935 is provided. The cord loop 1931A and the cord 1933 are not joined with each other.
[0206] As shown in
[0207] Thus, in the embodiment, the cord loop 1931A and the cord 1933 function as the contraction unit in the present invention. The portion of the cord loop 1931A through which the cord 1933 is not passed functions as the opening creation mechanism and the contraction control mechanism in the present invention.
Advantageous Effect of Embodiment
[0208] According to the opening section adjustment mechanism 193A of the embodiment, as shown in

[0214] In this case, as shown in
[0215] As shown in
[0216] Also in the embodiment, the cord loop 1931B and the cord 1933 function as the contraction unit in the present invention. The portion of the cord loop 1931B through which the cord 1933 is not passed functions as the opening creation mechanism and the contraction control mechanism in the present invention. In the present invention, the opening section “around the rope” does not necessarily be the opening section all around the rope. If the opening section remains at a part near the rope as shown in
[0217] The case where the opening section adjustment mechanism 193B does not include the joining part 1935 where the cord loop 1931B and the cord 1933 are joined is described above. The joining part 1935 may be provided at two positions near the two inner outlets 1932b in
