DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] [First embodiment] The clothing (apparel) 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is used as clothing with an electric fan, and as shown in Figures 1 and 7, is configured to include a clothing body 3, a cover material (cover fabric) 5, a space forming material 7, and a cushion material 9. The clothing 1 is shown as an upper garment.

[0017] Here, for ease of explanation, a specific direction in clothing 1 is defined as the left-right direction, a direction perpendicular to the left-right direction is defined as the front-back direction, and a direction perpendicular to both the left-right direction and the front-back direction is defined as the up-down direction.

[0018] The clothing body (top body) 3 is configured with a front body 11, a back body 13, and sleeves 15. Note that there are cases where the sleeves 15 are not provided. The clothing body 3 is configured with a waterproof fabric. More preferably, the clothing body 3 is configured with a moisture-permeable, waterproof material (waterproof, moisture-permeable fabric). The clothing body 3 is provided with a clothing fan attachment hole 19 in which a clothing fan 17 is installed.

[0019] The cover material 5 is made of a waterproof fabric or a waterproof and moisture-permeable fabric, like the clothing body 3. The cover material 5 covers the clothing fan attachment hole 19 from the outside of the clothing body 3, and is attached to the clothing body 3, for example, by sewing.

[0020] The cover material 5 is attached to the clothing body 3 such that a non-joined portion 21 that is not joined to the clothing body 3 and is separated from the clothing body 3 is formed on the underside. Since the cover material 5 is sewn to the clothing body 3, the cover material 5 is not easily detached from the clothing body 3.

[0021] A gap space 6 is formed between the cover material 5 and the clothing body 3. The non-jointed portion 21 is provided to allow the gap space 6 to communicate with the space 8 outside the clothing 1. More specifically, the non-jointed portion 21 forms an opening 25, which will be described later in detail. The gap space 6 also serves as a clothing fan attachment hole side space 27, which will be described later in detail.

[0022] The space forming material 7 is made of a breathable material (for example, a net-like fabric (mesh fabric)). The space forming material 7 is attached to the cover material 5, for example by sewing, inside the cover material 5 and outside the clothing body 3 so that a space 23 is formed between the cover material 5 and the space forming material 7. Since the space forming material 7 is attached to the cover material 5 by sewing, the space forming material 7 does not easily separate from the cover material 5 and the clothing body 3. The space 23 may be called a cushioning material storage space or a cushioning material storage section.

[0023] The cushioning material 9 is made of a breathable and elastic material (for example, a three-dimensional knitted fabric of a predetermined thickness) and is housed in the space 23. The cushioning material 9, together with the space forming material 7, allows air to pass through (forms an air flow path) when the clothing fan 17 installed in the clothing fan mounting hole 19 is operated.

[0024] The cushioning material 9 is formed, for example, by intertwining elongated materials made of synthetic resin in a manner similar to knitting air, or by three-dimensional knitting. Therefore, cavities (spaces between materials) are formed within the cushioning material 9, and cavities appear on the surface of the cushioning material 9. As described above, the cushioning material 9 has breathability and elasticity. Examples of the cushioning material 9 include Cubic Eye (registered trademark) by Unitika Technos Co., Ltd. and Air Fiber (registered trademark) by Airweave Co., Ltd.

[0025] The upper garment 1 (upper garment body 3) is formed, for example, symmetrically. The clothing fan attachment holes 19, the space forming material 7, and the cushioning material 9 are provided in pairs near the lower end of the back body 13 of the upper garment 1. The pair of clothing fan attachment holes 19, etc. are spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other in the left-right direction.

[0026] In the upper garment 1, an opening 25 (an opening different from the garment fan attachment hole) leading to the garment fan attachment hole 19 is formed by separating the non-jointed portion 21 of the cover material 5 from the garment main body 3. To explain further, the opening 25 is formed in a normal state, for example, when the cushion material 9 is elastically deformed and accommodated in the cushion material accommodation space 23, causing the non-jointed portion 21 of the cover material 5 to separate from the garment main body 3.

[0027] The normal state is a state in which no external force other than gravity is applied to the clothing 1. In the area where the cover material 5 of the clothing body 3 is provided, the thickness direction of the clothing body 3, the thickness direction of the cover material 5, the thickness direction of the space forming material 7, and the thickness direction of the cushion material 9 generally coincide with each other and are generally in the front-to-rear direction.

[0028] When viewed in the front-to-rear direction, the cover material 5 and the cushion material 9 cover the clothing fan mounting hole 19 and the clothing fan 17 installed in the clothing fan mounting hole 19. In addition, in the front-to-rear direction, from the rear to the front, the cover material 5, the cushion material 9, the space forming material 7, the clothing fan mounting hole side space 27 (gap space 6), and the clothing fan mounting hole 19 (clothing main body 3) are arranged in this order.

[0029] The clothing fan attachment hole side space 27 is formed between the space forming material 7 and the clothing main body 3 by the formation of the opening 25 in the normal state. The clothing fan attachment hole side space 27 is a space different from the cushion material storage space 23.

[0030] The clothing fan 17 installed in the clothing fan mounting hole 19 is operated. Then, air flows through the opening 25 and the clothing fan mounting hole side space 27, the space forming material 7, the cushion material 9 and the clothing fan mounting hole side space 27, and is sucked in by the air suction port 29 of the clothing fan 17 (see FIG. 7).

[0031] The air sucked in through the air suction port 29 is discharged from the air discharge port 31 (see FIG. 7) of the clothing fan 17. Furthermore, when a wearer wears clothing 1 equipped with the clothing fan 17 and the clothing fan 17 is operated, the air discharged from the air discharge port 31 of the clothing fan 17 is supplied to the space between the wearer and the clothing body 3, thereby cooling the wearer's body.

[0032] In addition, when a certain external force (a force pressing the cover material 5 toward the clothing body 3) is applied to the cover material 5 of the clothing 1, the opening 25 and the clothing fan attachment hole side space 27 may almost disappear. Even in this case, when the clothing fan 17 installed in the clothing fan attachment hole 19 is operated, air flows through the space forming material 7 and the cushion material 9.

[0033] Here, the garment 1 will be described in more detail. The value of the left-right dimension L1 of the bottom end of the cover material 5 is larger than the value of the left-right dimension L2 of the part of the garment body 3 facing the bottom end of the cover material 5. Similarly, the value of the left-right dimension of almost the entire cover material 5 is also larger than the value of the left-right dimension of the part of the garment body 3 facing the cover material. To explain further, in the range facing the garment fan attachment hole 19, "the width direction length of the cover material 5 > the width direction length of the back fabric piece 13", and some floating (room) is provided.

[0034] The cover material 5 is formed in a rectangular thin plate shape, and the cushioning material storage space 23 and the cushioning material 9 are formed in a rectangular shape of a predetermined thickness. The cushioning material 9 provided in the space 23 is held by the cover material 5, and is configured to be almost immovable relative to the cover material 5 and to be almost unchanged in position relative to the cover material 5. The cover material 5 is sewn to the garment body 3 at one of the four rectangular sides extending in the left-right direction on the upper side, and at two of the four rectangular sides extending in the up-down direction. The cover material 5 has a non-jointed portion 21 at the side of the four rectangular sides extending in the left-right direction on the lower side.

[0035] The cushioning material 9 is elastically deformed to form the opening 25 and the space 27 on the clothing fan mounting hole side by providing the above-mentioned floating portion. When the opening 25 and the space 27 on the clothing fan mounting hole side are viewed in the vertical direction, their cross-sectional shape (not shown) is bow-shaped. The cover material 5, the space-forming material 7, and the cushioning material 9 correspond to the arc of the bow, and the portion of the clothing body 3 facing the cushioning material 9 and the like corresponds to the string of the bow. The cushioning material 9 may not be elastically deformed, and may be rectangular when viewed in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 7. In this case, the space-forming material 7 may be in contact with the air suction port 29 of the clothing fan 17.

[0036] Here, the installation of the clothing fan 17 on the clothing body 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 7. The clothing fan 17 is configured with a housing 37 having a housing main body 33 formed in a short cylindrical shape and a flange 35. The clothing fan 17 is also configured with a ring-shaped housing installation member 39.

[0037] A male screw (not shown) is formed on the side of the housing main body 33, and a female screw (not shown) is formed on the inner circumference of the housing installation member 39. When the clothing fan 17 is installed in the clothing fan installation hole 19, the housing main body 33 passes through the clothing fan installation hole 19. The flange 35 abuts against the rear body 13 on the outside of the clothing main body 3 (back body 13). The housing installation member 39 is screwed into the housing main body 33 on the inside of the clothing main body 3 (back body 13), and the flange 35 and the housing installation member 39 sandwich the rear body 13 in the front-rear direction. In this way, the clothing fan 17 is fixed to the clothing main body 3 (back body 13).

[0038] Next, the flow of air when a wearer puts on the garment 1 on which the garment fan 17 is installed and the garment fan 17 is operated will be described.

[0039] When the clothing fan 17 is operated, air flows through the opening 25 and the clothing fan mounting hole side space 27, the space forming material 7, the cushion material 9 and the clothing fan mounting hole side space 27. The air is then sucked in by the air suction port 29 of the clothing fan 17.

[0040] The air sucked in through the air suction port 29 is discharged from the air discharge port 31 of the clothing fan 17. The air discharged from the air discharge port 31 of the clothing fan 17 is then supplied to the space between the wearer and the clothing body 3, cooling the wearer's body.

[0041] In addition, the hem 41 of the clothing body 3 (front body 11, back body 13), the cuffs of the sleeves 15, and the collar 43 are designed to adhere closely to the wearer's body and underwear with an urging force to prevent air that has entered the clothing body 3 from leaking into the external space 8.

[0042] The clothing 1 is composed of a cover material 5, a space forming material 7, and a cushion material 9. The cover material 5 is provided on the clothing body 3 so as to cover the clothing fan attachment hole 19 from the outside of the clothing body 3 and form a non-jointed portion 21 that is not joined to the clothing body 3. The space forming material 7 is made of a breathable material and is provided on the cover material 5 inside the cover material 5 so as to form a space 23 between the cover material 5 and the space forming material 7. The cushion material 9 is made of a breathable and elastic material and is housed in the space 23, and allows air to pass through together with the space forming material 7 when the clothing fan 17 installed in the clothing fan attachment hole 19 is operated.

[0043] This allows the clothing fan mounting hole 19 and the clothing fan 17 installed in the clothing fan mounting hole 19 to be covered with the cover material 5. In addition, the space forming material 7 and the cushion material 9 can secure a flow path through which air flows when the clothing fan 17 is operating.

[0044] That is, in the garment 1, the cushioning material 9 and the space forming material 7 have many air holes. This allows sufficient outside air to be taken in even when the distance between the cushioning material 9 (space forming material 7) and the air suction port 29 of the garment fan 17 is small or when the cushioning material 9 (space forming material 7) is in contact with the air suction port 29 of the garment fan 17.

[0045] As can be seen from Figure 1 etc., the clothing fan attachment hole 19 is covered with a cover material 5. The opening 25 (non-jointed portion 21) is located below the clothing fan attachment hole 19. This prevents rainwater from passing through the clothing fan attachment hole 19 and entering the inside of the clothing body 3.

[0046] Moreover, the garment 1 is configured such that the cushioning material 9 separates the non-jointed portion 21 of the cover material 5 from the garment body 3, forming an opening 25. This allows the garment fan 17 to draw in outside air with less resistance under normal conditions, allowing the outside air to enter the inside of the garment 1.

[0047] Second Embodiment The garment 1a of the second embodiment of the present invention differs from the garment 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention in that multiple (e.g., two) cover materials 5, cushion materials 9, etc. are provided for one garment fan mounting hole 19, but in other respects is configured in the same way as the garment 1.

[0048] That is, as shown in Figure 2, the garment 1a is composed of a garment main body 3, a first cover material 5A, a first space forming material 7A, a first cushion material 9A, a second cover material 5B, a second space forming material 7B, and a second cushion material 9B.

[0049] The clothing body 3 is made of a moisture-permeable and waterproof material. The clothing body 3 is provided with a clothing fan attachment hole 19 in which a clothing fan 17 is installed. A part 45 of the first cover material 5A is made of a breathable material (for example, a net-like fabric (mesh fabric)). The remaining part of the first cover material 5A is made of a waterproof and moisture-permeable fabric. Like the cover material 5, the first cover material 5A covers the clothing fan attachment hole 19 from the outside of the clothing body 3. The first cover material 5A is provided on the clothing body 3 such that a non-joined part 21A (opening 25A) that is not joined to the clothing body 3 and is separated from the clothing body 3 is formed on the lower side so that the gap space 6 formed between the first cover material 5A and the clothing body 3 communicates with the external space 8.

[0050] Similar to the space forming material 7, the first space forming material 7A is made of a breathable material (for example, a net-like fabric (mesh fabric)). The first space forming material 7A is provided, for example, by sewing to the first cover material 5A on the inside of the first cover material 5A and on the outside of the garment body 3, so that a first space 23A is formed between the first cover material 5A and the first space forming material 7A.

[0051] The first cushion material 9A is made of a material having breathability and elasticity, similar to the cushion material 9. The first cushion material 9A is accommodated in the first space 23A, and allows air to pass through together with the first space forming material 7A when the clothing fan 17 installed in the clothing fan mounting hole 19 is operated.

[0052] Similar to the cover material 5, the second cover material 5B is made of a waterproof and moisture-permeable fabric. The second cover material 5B covers the first cover material 5A from the outside of the first cover material 5A. The second cover material 5B is provided on at least one of the clothing body 3 and the first cover material 5A. The second cover material 5B has a non-joined portion 21B on the lower side for communicating the gap space 6 formed between the second cover material 5B and the first cover material 5A with the external space 8. The second cover material 5B is not joined to the clothing body 3 and the first cover material 5A at the non-joined portion 21B (opening 25B) and is separated from the clothing body 3 and the first cover material 5A.

[0053] The second space forming material 7B is made of a breathable material, similar to the space forming material 7. The second space forming material 7B is provided on the first cover material 5A inside the second cover material 5B such that a second space 23B is formed between the second space forming material 7B and the second cover material 5B.

[0054] Similar to the cushion material 9, the second cushion material 9B is made of a material having breathability and elasticity. The second cushion material 9B is accommodated in the second space 23B. When the clothing fan 17 installed in the clothing fan mounting hole 19 is operated, the second cushion material 9B allows air to pass through together with the breathable portion 45 of the first cover material 5A and the second space forming material 7B.

[0055] In the garment 1a, when viewed in the thickness direction (front-rear direction) of a portion of the garment main body 3 where the garment fan mounting hole 19 is provided, a part of the garment fan mounting hole 19 and the first cushion material 9A overlap with each other. Also, when viewed in the front-rear direction, another part of the garment fan mounting hole 19, the second cushion material 9B, and the breathable portion 45 of the first cover material 5A overlap with each other. The first cushion material 9A is located lower than the second cushion material 9B in the up-down direction.

[0056] This allows the air flow path to be divided into two systems when the clothing fan 17 is operating, making it possible to more accurately take in outside air when the clothing fan 17 is operating.

[0057] Third embodiment The garment 1b according to the third embodiment of the present invention differs from the garments 1, 1a according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention in that it is provided with a garment fan mounting hole opening / closing section 47, but in other respects is configured in the same manner as the garments 1, 1a.

[0058] That is, as shown in Figures 3 to 6, the clothing 1b is provided with a clothing fan attachment hole opening / closing part 47 which is provided on the clothing body 3 and opens and closes the clothing fan attachment hole 19. Note that Figures 3 and 6 only show one side of the clothing 1b which is formed symmetrically.

[0059] The clothing fan attachment hole opening / closing part 47 is made of, for example, the same waterproof and breathable fabric as the clothing main body 3. The clothing fan attachment hole opening / closing part 47 is configured to include a first blocking member 49 that blocks one side of the clothing fan attachment hole 19, and a second blocking member 51 that is made of the same material as the first blocking member 49 and blocks the other side of the clothing fan attachment hole 19. The shapes of the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51 are the same.

[0060] A line fastener component 53 is provided on a part of the first closure member 49, and another part of the first closure member 49 is joined to the clothing body 3, for example, by sewing. A line fastener component 55 is also provided on a part of the second closure member 51, and another part of the second closure member 51 is also joined to the clothing body 3, for example, by sewing.

[0061] The clothing fan attachment hole 19 is configured to be closed (blocked) by joining the line fastener component 53 of the first closure member 49 and the line fastener component 55 of the second closure member 51 to each other. The clothing fan attachment hole 19 is configured to be opened by separating the line fastener component 53 of the first closure member 49 and the line fastener component 55 of the second closure member 51 from each other.

[0062] Further explanation: In the area where the cover material 5 of the clothing body 3 is provided, the thickness direction of the clothing body 3, the thickness direction of the first blocking member 49, and the thickness direction of the second blocking member 51 are approximately in the front-rear direction, and these thickness directions are approximately consistent with each other. Also, when viewed in the front-rear direction, the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51 cover the entire clothing fan attachment hole 19.

[0063] A line fastener component 53 is provided on a portion of the end of the first closure member 49. The portion of the end of the first closure member 49 where the line fastener component 53 is provided is not joined to the clothing main body 3, and extends in the vertical direction passing through the clothing fan attachment hole 19 when viewed in the front-to-back direction. Another portion of the first closure member 49 is joined to the periphery of the clothing fan attachment hole 19 of the clothing main body 3 when viewed in the front-to-back direction.

[0064] A line fastener component 55 is also provided on a portion of the end of the second closure member 51. The end portion of the second closure member 51 where the line fastener component 55 is provided is also not joined to the clothing main body 3, and passes through the clothing fan attachment hole 19 when viewed in the front-to-back direction and extends in the up-down direction. Another portion of the second closure member 51 is also joined to the periphery of the clothing fan attachment hole 19 of the clothing main body 3 when viewed in the front-to-back direction.

[0065] The state in which the linear fastener component 53 of the first closure member 49 and the linear fastener component 55 of the second closure member 51 are joined together is called the fastener joined state. When the fastener joined state is viewed in the front-rear direction, the clothing fan attachment hole 19 is located inside the first closure member 49 and the second closure member 51, and the clothing fan attachment hole 19 is blocked by the first closure member 49 and the second closure member 51. When the fastener joined state is viewed in the front-rear direction, the clothing fan attachment hole 19 is surrounded by the part of the first closure member 49 joined to the clothing main body 3 and the part of the second closure member 51 joined to the clothing main body 3. In the fastener joined state, the first closure member 49 and the linear fastener component 53, and the second closure member 51 and the linear fastener component 55 are symmetrical. In the fastener joined state, the line fastener components 53 and 55 extend vertically through the center of the clothing fan attachment hole 19 .

[0066] A state in which the fastener component 53 of the first closure member 49 and the linear fastener component 55 of the second closure member 51 are not joined to each other is referred to as a fastener non-joined state. In the fastener non-joined state, a force is applied in the left-right direction to the linear fastener component 53 of the first closure member 49 and the linear fastener component 55 of the second closure member 51 to separate the linear fastener component 53 and the linear fastener component 55 from each other. Then, the first closure member 49 and the second closure member 51 are deformed as shown in Figures 6 and 7, and the clothing fan attachment hole 19 opens.

[0067] Furthermore, when the clothing fan 17 is installed in the clothing fan attachment hole 19 in the fastener unattached state, the clothing fan 17 enters between the first closure member 49 (line fastener component 53) and the second closure member 51 (line fastener component 55) as shown in Fig. 7. Then, the first closure member 49 and the second closure member 51 are deformed, and the air suction port 29 of the clothing fan 17 appears between the first closure member 49 and the second closure member 51.

[0068] 7, a fastener such as a hook-and-loop fastener 57 may be provided on the housing installation member 39 of the clothing fan 17, and a fastener such as a hook-and-loop fastener 59 may also be provided on the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51. When the clothing fan 17 is installed in the clothing fan mounting hole 19 in a non-fastened state, the hook-and-loop fastener 59 may be joined to the hook-and-loop fastener 57, and the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51 may be fixed to the clothing fan 17.

[0069] In addition, in the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51 (configuration shown in FIG. 7), the hook-and-loop fasteners 57, 59 may be omitted, and a fastener such as a hook-and-loop fastener may be provided at each of the portions (portions indicated by reference numeral 75) near the fastener components 53, 55. Also, the hook-and-loop fastener 77 may be provided at the portion of the clothing body 3 outside the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51 (outside as viewed from the clothing fan 17 in the horizontal direction). Then, the hook-and-loop fasteners provided at the portions 75 may be engaged with the hook-and-loop fasteners 77, respectively, thereby folding back and fastening the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51. In this way, the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51 may be fixed. By this fixing, the air suction port 29 of the clothing fan 17 appears between the first blocking member 49 and the second blocking member 51, in the same manner as when the hook-and-loop fastener 59 is joined to the hook-and-loop fastener 57. In addition, a fastener such as a snap button (fastener) may be used instead of the hook-and-loop fastener.

[0070] Also, a band such as a cloth tape may be provided instead of the hook-and-loop fastener provided at portion 75. In this case, one end of the band in the longitudinal direction is joined to first blocking member 49 and second blocking member 51 by sewing or the like. A hook-and-loop fastener is provided at the other end of the band in the longitudinal direction. The hook-and-loop fastener at the other end of the band is engaged with hook-and-loop fastener 77, thereby fixing first blocking member 49 and second blocking member 51. Even in this case, a joining material (fastener) such as a snap button may be used instead of the hook-and-loop fastener.

[0071] Furthermore, when a strip is used, rather than being joined to the first closure member 49 and the second closure member 51, the strip may be joined to the clothing body 3 and extend from the clothing body 3 toward the first closure member 49 and the second closure member 51.

[0072] By the way, if the clothing 1 (1a) is used as a work raincoat that can be fitted with a clothing fan, the work raincoat will be more expensive than a general work jacket due to the cost of the fabric, the cost of waterproofing, etc. Therefore, there is a need to be able to wear one piece of clothing all year round, if possible.

[0073] The clothing 1b is provided with a clothing fan attachment hole opening / closing section 47 that opens and closes the clothing fan attachment hole 19. As a result, when there is no need to use the clothing fan 17 from late autumn to early spring, the clothing fan attachment hole 19 can be closed, allowing the clothing 1b to be worn comfortably all year round.

[0074] That is, since the clothing fan attachment hole opening / closing part 47 is provided, even when the clothing fan 17 is removed and the clothing 1b is put on, the clothing fan attachment hole 19 is covered with the cover material 5 and is therefore less noticeable. Furthermore, by closing the clothing fan attachment hole 19 with the clothing fan attachment hole opening / closing part 47, the inflow of outside air can be prevented, improving protection against the cold.

[0075] In the garment 1b, the garment fan attachment hole opening / closing section 47 is configured with a first closing member 49, a second closing member 51, and linear fastener components 53, 55. This allows the garment fan attachment hole 19 to be opened and closed with a simple operation.

[0076] [Fourth embodiment] The garment 1c relating to the fourth embodiment of the present invention differs from the garment 1b relating to the third embodiment of the present invention in the shape of the garment fan mounting hole opening / closing portion 47, but is otherwise configured in the same manner as the garment 1b.

[0077] That is, as shown in Fig. 8 to Fig. 12, the clothing 1c has fastening parts (e.g., hook-and-loop fasteners) 61, 63, 65 provided around the clothing fan attachment hole 19 of the clothing main body 3. Note that Fig. 8 and Fig. 11 only show one side of the clothing 1c, which is formed symmetrically. The clothing fan attachment hole opening / closing part 47 is made of the same waterproof and moisture-permeable fabric as the clothing main body 3, and is equipped with a rectangular thin plate-like blocking member 67 that blocks the clothing fan attachment hole 19.

[0078] A part of the covering member 67 is joined to the clothing body 3 by, for example, sewing. This joined portion is formed at one of the four sides of the covering member 67 that extends in the left-right direction.

[0079] 12, other parts of the covering member 67 are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 69, 71, 73 that are hooked onto the hooks 61, 63, 65 of the clothing body 3. The hook-and-loop fasteners 69, 71, 73 are provided on the remaining three of the four sides of the covering member 67.

[0080] The clothing fan attachment hole 19 is closed (blocked) by engaging the locking portions 69, 71, 73 of the blocking member 67 with the locking portions 61, 63, 65 of the clothing body 3 (see FIG. 12(d)). The clothing fan attachment hole 19 is opened by releasing the locking of the locking portions 69, 71, 73 of the blocking member 67 with the locking portions 61, 63, 65 of the clothing body 3 (see FIG. 12(a), (b), (c)).

[0081] When the clothing fan attachment hole 19 is closed, the hook and loop fasteners 61 and 69 are joined to each other, the hook and loop fasteners 63 and 71 are joined to each other, and the hook and loop fasteners 65 and 73 are joined to each other. As already understood, in the clothing 1c, the locked portions 69, 71, and 73 are detachable from the locking portions 61, 63, and 65. That is, the locked portions 69, 71, and 73 can be easily locked to the locking portions 61, 63, and 65, and the locked portions 69, 71, and 73 can be easily released from the locking portions 61, 63, and 65.

[0082] In addition, in the clothing 1c, the locked portions 69, 71, 73 of the blocking member 67 are released from the locking portions 61, 63, 65 of the clothing body 3 (see FIG. 12(a) and the like). In this state, parts of the hook-and-loop fasteners 69, 71 constituting the locked portions of the blocking member 67 and other parts of the hook-and-loop fasteners 69, 71 constituting the locked portions of the blocking member are attached to each other, so that the blocking member is folded (see FIG. 12(e)).

[0083] The hook-and-loop fasteners 69, 71, 73 constituting the locked portion of the blocking member 67 are of the free type, the snap-in type, or other type that does not have a male or female side. For example, in a normal hook-and-loop fastener, one side is a male side provided with only hooks, and the other side is a female side provided with only loops. In contrast, in a free type hook-and-loop fastener, both hooks and loops are provided on one side, and the above-mentioned one surfaces can be joined together. The hook-and-loop fastener on the clothing body is also of the free type that does not have a male or female side.

[0084] In addition, a part of the hook-and-loop fastener constituting the locked portion of the closing member 67 may be a male surface, and another part of the hook-and-loop fastener constituting the locked portion of the closing member 67 may be a female surface. The closing member 67 may be configured to be folded when the locked portion of the closing member 67 is released from the locking portion of the clothing main body 3. In this case, the hook-and-loop fastener of the clothing main body 3 also has a part that is a male surface and another part that is a female surface, in accordance with the hook-and-loop fastener of the closing member 67.

[0085] Furthermore, the fastening portion of the clothing body 3 and the fastened portion of the covering member 67 may be configured with fasteners such as buttons. In this case, too, the covering member 67 is configured to be folded when the fastened portion of the covering member 67 is released from the fastening portion of the clothing body 3.

[0086] In the clothing 1c, the clothing fan attachment hole opening / closing section 47 is configured with locking sections 61, 63, 65 and locked sections 69, 71, 73 that are detachable from the locking sections 61, 63, 65. This allows the clothing fan attachment hole 19 to be opened and closed with a simple operation.

[0087] In the garment 1c, a state in which the locked portions 69, 71, 73 of the blocking member 67 are released from the locking portions 61, 63, 65 of the garment body 3 is referred to as an unlocked state. In the garment 1c, in the unlocked state, a part of the hook-and-loop fasteners 69, 71 constituting the locked portions of the blocking member 67 and another part of the hook-and-loop fasteners 69, 71 (the lower part in FIG. 12(a)) stick to each other, so that the blocking member 67 is folded. This allows the blocking member 67 to be easily folded up and made smaller in the unlocked state, and prevents the blocking member 67 from getting in the way as much as possible in the unlocked state.

[0088] In the above description, the cushioning material 9 is held within the space 23 formed by the cover material 5 and the space forming material 7, but the cushioning material 9 may also be provided to the cover material 5 on the inside of the cover material 5, for example, by an adhesive or the like.

[0089] In other words, the clothing may be a garment having a clothing main body made of a moisture-resistant waterproof material and provided with a clothing fan mounting hole in which a clothing fan is to be installed, a cover material made of a waterproof and breathable fabric that covers the clothing fan mounting hole from the outside of the clothing main body and is provided on the clothing main body so that a non-jointed portion that is not joined to the clothing main body and is separated from the clothing main body is formed on the underside in order to connect the gap space formed between the clothing main body and the clothing main body to the external space, and a cushioning material made of a breathable and elastic material that is housed inside the cover material and allows air to pass through when the clothing fan installed in the clothing fan mounting hole is operated.

[0090] Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present embodiment. [Explanation of symbols]
