Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to fishing pants worn while fishing, and more particularly to fishing pants (fishing trousers) equipped with a connecting belt that can be connected to a life jacket or fishing clothing. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, anglers sometimes wear rainwear when fishing. When wearing the rainwear for reef fishing, boat fishing, or the like, anglers sometimes also wear a vest-type life jacket (floating vest) with a certain degree of buoyancy or a fishing vest that can store various small items.

[0003] The life jacket is equipped with a buoyant body that meets a certain standard so that the angler will not sink if he falls into the sea, river, or other water, and is configured so that the buoyancy of the buoyant body will prevent the life jacket from slipping off around the neck of the angler if he falls. For example, in Patent Document 1, a buoyant body is housed in the front and back body, and the ends of a pair of crotch belts are fixed to the lower ends of the left and right front bodies and the lower ends of the back body. The crotch belts are provided with fasteners (buckles), and when worn, the fasteners are fastened with each crotch belt passing under the crotch of the angler (see Fig. 6 of Patent Document 1), so that the life jacket will not come off even if the angler falls into the water.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2002-058405 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When the crotch belt of the above-mentioned life jacket is attached, the pants will slide up, and the pants and the crotch belt will dig into the groin, making it uncomfortable to wear. Also, if the crotch belt is passed between the legs, it looks bad. For this reason, conventional life jackets often do not use crotch belts, and therefore, when an angler falls into the water, the life jacket becomes easily dislodged and is no longer effective.

[0006] To provide fishing pants that do not impair the wearing comfort of a life jacket or fishing clothing and that also have a good appearance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the fishing pants of the present invention have a main body and a connecting belt, one end of the connecting belt being connectable to a life jacket or fishing clothing, and the other end being fixed to the waist opening side relative to the crotch position of the main body.

[0008] The fishing pants with the above-mentioned configuration are configured such that one end of the connection belt is fixed and the other end of the connection belt is connected to a life jacket (fishing clothing). This eliminates the need for a crotch belt that passes between the wearer's legs, as in conventional life jackets, and improves the appearance when worn. In addition, the connection belt does not pass through the crotch to connect the front and back, but connects the main body of the fishing pants to the life jacket, so the connection belt does not bite into the main body or the crotch, improving the wearing comfort.

[0009] The above-mentioned connecting belt may have one end fixed to the fishing pants and the other end connected to the life jacket or fishing clothing. In this case, the fishing clothing includes outerwear that is not buoyant, unlike the life jacket, such as a fishing vest or a raincoat (a rainwear outerwear). For example, when wearing such fishing clothing for mountain stream fishing, even if the fishing clothing is connected to the fishing pants and the person stands in the river, the fishing clothing remains stable and the hem can be prevented from rolling up and splashing water into the clothing. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, fishing pants that do not impair the wearing comfort of life jackets, fishing clothes, etc. and that also have a good appearance can be obtained. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing fishing clothing (also called rainwear) including fishing pants according to the present invention. FIG. 1(a) shows an example of a configuration of fishing pants 1 and a jacket (top) 70, and FIG. 1(b) shows an example of a configuration of a life jacket 50 connected to the fishing pants 1.

[0013] The fishing pants 1 shown in Fig. 1(a) may be sold alone or as a set with a jacket 70. The life jacket 50 shown in Fig. 1(b) may be any of various general-purpose products or may be a set with the fishing pants 1 and jacket 70. Furthermore, the fishing pants 1 may be a wader type integrated with boots, or a trouser type without a suspension belt, other than the configuration shown in Fig. 1.

[0014] The configuration of fishing pants 1 according to this embodiment will be described below. The body 1A of the fishing pants 1 is made of a waterproof, moisture-permeable fabric, and has left and right leg sections 3A, 3B that extend downward from the waist opening 2 and through which the legs are inserted. Each leg section 3A, 3B is divided into left and right sections at the crotch position (crotch base) P1, with the lower section constituting the crotch section 3 and the upper section constituting the crotch section 4.

[0015] In this embodiment, the body 1A is provided at the edge of the waist opening 2 with a known suspender belt (suspenders) 5 that is hung on both shoulders of the wearer, so that the fishing pants 1 will not come off when worn. In this case, the suspender belt 5 may be fixed to the body 1A or may be detachable. Also, a rubber belt may be provided along the waist opening 2 to prevent the fishing pants 1 from coming off.

[0016] Pockets 7A, 7B are provided on the left and right sides of the crotch portion 4 of the main body 1A, and connection belts 8A, 8B connectable to the life jacket 50 are stored in each pocket. Each pocket may be formed by fastening a bag-like member separate from the main body 1A to the lining of the main body 1A, or may be formed of a sheet material or the like with the periphery fastened to the lining of the main body 1A.

[0017] The configuration of the connecting belts stored in the pockets will be described below with reference to Figures 2 to 6. Since the connecting belts stored in both pockets have the same configuration, only the connecting belt 8A stored in the left pocket 7A will be described.

[0018] The connecting belt 8A includes a deformable belt-like portion 9 made of a fiber material such as nylon, and an adjustment portion 10A and a connector (male buckle) 10B that are provided at the tip of the belt-like portion 9 and allow for a generally known length adjustment. The base end of the belt-like portion 9 is fixed inside the pocket, and the portion from the base end to the tip side is in a free state. In this embodiment, both ends 12a and 12b are attached to an intermediate portion 12c of a fixing tape (belt-like member) 12 that is attached to the inner fabric 1B that constitutes the pocket. Specifically, the tip portion of the belt-like portion 9 is wound around the intermediate portion 12c that has a gap between it and the fabric 1B, and the overlapping portion 9a is sewn to fix it.

[0019] The fixing tape 12 is preferably made of a fiber material such as nylon and sewn to the fabric 1B so that it will not come off or be damaged even if a strong tensile force is applied to the connecting belt (belt-like portion 9).

[0020] The opening 7a of the pocket 7A extends in a vertical direction or in a direction that slopes downward toward the rear side (buttocks side) so that the hand can be easily inserted. Also, it is preferable that the opening 7a is provided with a fastener 7b that opens / closes to prevent foreign objects from entering inside. It is preferable that this fastener 7b is configured to slide from bottom to top to close the opening so that water or seawater does not enter the pocket even if only a little when standing in a mountain stream or surf.

[0021] The life jacket 50 is provided with a connecting member (female buckle) 15B to which the connector 10B of the belt-like portion 9 is connected. The connecting member 15B is provided at the tip of the belt-like portion 15A fixed to the life jacket 50, and is configured so that the connecting member 15B can be easily grasped and moved to an arbitrary position. The base of the belt-like portion 15A is fixed to the lower side of the left and right openings 51a, 52a through which the arms are inserted at the boundary between the left and right front body portions 51, 52 and the back body portion 53 of the life jacket 50 so as to be easily connected to the connectors 10B provided in the pockets 7A, 7B on both sides of the fishing pants.

[0022] As a result, by connecting the connectors 10B of the belt-like parts 9 on the fishing pants 1 side to the respective connectors 15B, the fishing pants 1 and the life jacket 50 are stably connected together. In addition, by providing the base of the belt-like part 15A below the left and right openings 51a, 51b through which the arms are inserted, the life jacket 50 is less likely to come off if the wearer falls into the water. The connectable device 15B may be fixed directly to the life jacket 50, and the fixing position is not limited. In addition, the fixing position of the base of the belt-shaped part 15A on which the connectable device 15B is provided is not limited.

[0023] In this embodiment, the belt-like portions 9 provided on the pockets 7A, 7B on both sides are configured to be completely contained within the pockets and to be long enough to be picked up and removed from the opening of the pocket when in use, specifically, to protrude approximately 10 to 20 cm from the opening. In this way, the belt-like portion 9 is usually stored in the pocket and can be connected to the life jacket when in use, so that when the life jacket 50 is not worn, the connector 10B does not touch the body and cause discomfort. The belt-like portion 9 may be fixed in the pocket in a state in which it protrudes from each of the pockets 7A and 7B in advance.

[0024] The belt-like portion 9 may have a width W1 of about 15 mm to 25 mm, and the fixing tape 12 may have a width W2 of about 30 mm to 40 mm. Such widths ensure sufficient connection strength and allow the device to be stored in a pocket together with various small items.

[0025] In addition, the fixing positions of the connecting belts 8A, 8B, specifically, the fixing position P2 where the greatest tensile force acts on the belt-like portion 9 of the connecting belt when the life jacket 50 is subjected to buoyancy, are configured to be on the waist opening side (upper side) of the crotch position P1 of the main body 1A.

[0026] Next, an example of how the fishing pants having the above-mentioned structure are used will be described. When a wearer puts on fishing pants 1 and life jacket 50, the above-mentioned connecting belts 8A, 8B are stretched from the left and right pockets 7A, 7B, and the connecting tool 10B at the tip is connected to the connecting tool 15B of the life jacket 50. In this connected state, unlike the crotch belt of a conventional life jacket, there is no need to pass the belt (belt-shaped part) under the crotch, so the wearing comfort is improved (conventional life jackets have a poor wearing comfort because the belt digs into the crotch) and safety can be ensured. Also, since the belt is not passed under the crotch, the appearance is improved.

[0027] The fixed position P2 of the connecting belts 8A, 8B in the pocket is on the waist opening side (upper side) of the crotch position P1 of the main body 1A, so that the legs 3A, 3B of the fishing pants 1 do not ride up unnecessarily and the wearing comfort is not deteriorated.

[0028] Furthermore, the belt-like portion 9 of the connecting belt is wrapped around and fixed to the middle portion 12c of the fixing tape 12, both ends of which are sewn to the fabric 1B inside the pocket. This stabilizes the fixed state and disperses the force pulling the belt-like portion upward into the lateral force of the fixing tape, thereby improving the fixing strength.

[0029] The fixing position of the above-mentioned fixing tape 12 within the pocket, i.e., the fixing position of the connecting belts 8A, 8B, is preferably near the middle position within the pockets 7A, 7B (preferably closer to the opening of the pocket than the middle position), as shown in Figure 6.

[0030] By fixing the pockets in this way, even if small items stored in the pockets 7A and 7B accumulate at the bottom, they are less likely to interfere with the connecting belt, making it easier to take out the small items. Also, in this fixed position, as shown in Fig. 7, the fastener 7b is arranged to slide upward relative to the opening 7a to open, so that the belt-like portion 9 can be drawn out from the bottom of the pocket. This prevents the bottom of the jacket 70 from being turned up when worn. The fixing position of the fixing tape 12 in the pockets 7A, 7B may be the bottom side as shown in Fig. 8. The belt-like portion 9 may be configured to be led out from an outlet portion (an opening slit corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the belt-like portion) provided at an arbitrary position of the pocket. By providing such an outlet portion, the belt-like portion 9 can be led out of the pocket and connected to the connectable device 15B of the life jacket 50 at an optimal position.

[0031] The pockets 7A and 7B may have drainage holes 20 at their bottoms as shown in Fig. 9. By providing such holes 20, water accumulated in the pockets during rain or water splashing can be drained. The openings of the pockets may be asymmetrical between the left and right. In Fig. 9, the opening 7a' of the left pocket 7A extends in a direction that slopes downward toward the rear (buttocks), and the opening 7a of the right pocket 7B extends in the vertical direction (vertical direction). Although the openings are asymmetrical between the left and right pockets, they are configured to make it easy to insert hands into them.

[0032] Moreover, the position where the connecting belts 8A, 8B are fixed to the main body 1A (the above-mentioned fixing position P2) is preferably on the front side of the main body 1A as shown in Fig. 10. Specifically, by fixing it on the front side with respect to the central perpendicular line X of the wearer, the belt-like part and the connecting tool are not positioned on the back of the thighs when sitting down to fish, which improves the wearing comfort. Also, even if the wearer falls into the water, the face part is likely to turn upward (it is difficult to turn face down), which improves safety.

[0033] The size of the pockets 7A and 7B may be changed according to the size of the fishing pants. For example, as shown in Fig. 11, the height H of the pocket may be set to a constant value (e.g., 31.92 cm) regardless of the size, and the width L1 may be changed according to the size (e.g., M size 23.62 cm, L size 24.62 cm, XL size 25.62 cm, 2XL size 26.62 cm, 3XL size 27.62 cm). The size of the fixing tape 12 may be constant regardless of the size.

[0034] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified in various ways. The configuration (material and shape) of the above-mentioned fishing pants is not limited, and the connecting belts 8A, 8B may be connected to a general fishing vest other than the life jacket 50. The connecting belts 8A, 8B may be configured to connect to a connecting belt provided on the life jacket side inside a pocket, for example by shortening the belt-like portion 9. Alternatively, the connecting belts 8A, 8B may be configured to have only a connecting tool without a belt-like portion, and to connect to a connecting tool provided on the life jacket side.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting belts 8A, 8B may be fixed in an exposed state to the main body 1A of the fishing pants. In this case, it is preferable to cover them with a flap or the like to prevent the fishing line or hook from getting caught. [Explanation of symbols]
