Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a body mitt. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, punching mitts and the like have been used when practicing martial arts such as karate, kickboxing, and taekwondo. However, because these are small in size, the person striking must only target the part of the mitt where the mitt is located. Also, if the strike is deflected to a part other than the mitt, there is a possibility of injury, and the mitt does not provide sufficient protection for the user.

[0003] Also, various body protectors for martial arts have been proposed to protect against attacks such as kicks and punches from an opponent during a martial arts match or practice (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2007-282852 [Patent Document 2] Special table 2019-501674 DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, conventional body protectors have only considered the protection of the wearer's body, and have not considered the protection of the training opponent or the comfort of use when punching or kicking. Also, while there are body mitts that are large enough in size and thickness to protect at least the shoulders to the thighs, in this case, the weight of the mitt body is large, making it difficult to hold the mitt body firmly or to fit it closely to the wearer.

[0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a body mitt that can fit firmly to the wearer's body and protect the body from impacts from a practice partner, as well as provide protection for the practice partner and improve the comfort of use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the body mitt of the present invention is characterized by comprising a mitt body having multiple layers of impact absorbing material with different hardness from the front side to the rear side, a band body connected from the upper end of the mitt body to the rear side, and a right shoulder band and a left shoulder band having a length adjustment portion that can adjust the length of the band body.

[0008] Here, it is preferable that the mitt body is provided with a cover capable of containing the shock absorbing material therein, and that the cover has holes that communicate between the outside and the inside and that serve to cushion the shock to the wearer.

[0009] Also, it is preferable that the mitt body is provided with a space forming portion for forming a space at a predetermined vital point position.

[0010] It is also preferable that the impact absorbing material consists of, from the front side of the mitt body, a first layer made of expanded polyethylene, a second layer made of EVA foam mat, a third layer made of chip urethane, and a fourth layer made of soft urethane foam.

[0011] The glove may also include a waist band that is disposed on the rear side of the glove body and fits closely around the waist of the wearer.

[0012] In addition, it is preferable that the height of the mitt body from top to bottom is 70 cm or more. Effect of the Invention

[0013] The body mitt of the present invention has a front that feels similar to that of a living body, can be worn closely against the wearer's body, and is structured to absorb or release shock, thereby reducing shock to the body. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The body mitt of the present invention will be described below. The body mitt of the present invention is mainly composed of a mitt body 1, a right shoulder strap 2 and a left shoulder strap 3, as shown in Figs.

[0016] The mitt body 1 is provided with multiple layers of shock absorbing material 5 with different hardness from the front surface 14 to the rear surface 15. This allows it to mainly absorb shocks to the body. Here, the front surface 14 of the mitt body 1 means the surface that receives attacks such as kicks and punches, and the rear surface 15 means the surface that comes into close contact with the wearer's body. In addition, it is preferable that the mitt body 1 has a size at least from the wearer's shoulder to the thigh. For example, if the wearer is an adult, the height from the top end 11 to the bottom end 18 of the mitt body 1 must be about 90 cm to 110 cm, and in the case of a child, it must be about 70 cm to 100 cm. Therefore, it is preferable that the height from the top end 11 to the bottom end 18 of the mitt body 1 is at least 70 cm or more. In addition, it is preferable that the mitt body 1 has a size at least equal to or larger than the shoulder width of the wearer. For example, if the wearer is an adult, the width from the right end 16 to the left end 17 as viewed from the rear surface 15 of the mitt body 1 must be between 80 cm and 110 cm, and for children, it must be between 70 cm and 100 cm. Therefore, it is preferable that the width of the mitt body 1 from the right end 16 to the left end 17 is at least 70 cm. The shape of the mitt body 1 may be any shape as long as it can protect the testicles, heart, and other designated vital points, but it can be, for example, a roughly rectangular parallelepiped. Also, it is preferable that the center of the mitt body 1 be formed in an arch shape that is convex from the right side 12 and the left side 13.

[0017] The shock absorbing material 5 is preferably made of a material having the same flexibility as the touch of a living body on the front surface 14 side. Also, the material on the rear surface 15 side is preferably capable of absorbing the impact energy of attacks such as kicks and punches. The shock absorbing material 5 may be any material as long as it has such an effect, but a sponge-like material having fine holes inside may be used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the shock absorbing material 5 may be formed of four layers, in order from the front surface 14 side of the mitt body 1, a first layer 51 made of expanded polyethylene, a second layer 52 made of an EVA foam mat, a third layer 53 made of chip urethane, and a fourth layer 54 made of soft urethane foam. This allows the front surface 14 side to have the same flexibility as the touch of a living body, and the rear surface 15 side to fully absorb impacts to the wearer's body. Also, the thickness of the shock absorbing material 5 may be any thickness as long as the front surface 14 side has the same flexibility as the touch of a living body, and the rear surface 15 side absorbs the impact energy of attacks.

[0018] The mitt body 1 may also be provided with a bag-shaped cover 6 capable of containing the shock absorbing material 5. The cover 6 may also be provided with an opening and closing means capable of opening and closing the interior. This allows the internal shock absorbing material 5 to be easily replaced when it is desired to replace deteriorated shock absorbing material with a new one or when it is desired to use a more preferable shock absorbing material. The opening and closing means may be anything that allows the interior of the cover 6 to be opened and closed to replace the shock absorbing material 5, and for example, a fastener such as a wire fastener or a hook-and-loop fastener, or a button may be used.

[0019] Furthermore, if the cover 6 has a structure in which the inside is sealed, there is no place for the air in the cover 6 to escape, and the impact is directly applied to the wearer through the cover 6. Therefore, it is preferable that the cover 6 has holes that communicate with the outside and the inside. This allows the air in the cover 6 to escape to the outside when an impact is applied to the mitt body 1, and the impact on the wearer can be mitigated. The size and number of the holes can be freely formed as long as it prevents the air in the cover 6 from directly impacting the wearer. Furthermore, the position of the holes can be formed anywhere as long as it does not interfere with the practice partner or the wearer, and can be formed, for example, on the side or bottom of the mitt body 1.

[0020] The right shoulder strap 2 and the left shoulder strap 3 have a band body connected from the upper end 11 to the rear surface 15 of the mitt body 1, and length adjustment parts 25, 35 that can adjust the length of the band body. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the upper end 21 of the band body of the right shoulder strap 2 is connected to the right side 12 of the center of the upper end 11 of the mitt body 1, and the lower end 22 is connected to the right side 12 of the center of the rear surface 15. The upper end 31 of the band body of the left shoulder strap 3 is connected to the left side 13 of the center of the upper end 11 of the mitt body 1, and the lower end 32 is connected to the left side 13 of the center of the rear surface 15. The length adjustment parts 25, 35 may be any known ones that can adjust the length of the band body. This allows the mitt body 1 to be closely attached to the wearer by adjusting the length of the band body. A specific example of the length adjustment parts 25, 35 can be composed of a hook-and-loop fastener and a buckle. In this case, the hook surface (surface raised in a hook shape) and the loop surface (surface raised in a loop shape) of the hook and loop fastener are placed on one side of the band body. Also, a buckle is fixed to the mitt body 1. Then, by passing the band body through the buckle and abutting the hook and loop surfaces of the hook and loop fastener, the band body can be adjusted to any length.

[0021] It is also possible to arrange the right shoulder strap 2 and the left shoulder strap 3 so that they cross each other. In this case, the upper end 21 of the band body of the right shoulder strap 2 is connected to the right side 12 of the center of the upper end 11 of the mitt body 1, and the lower end 22 is connected to the left side 13 of the center of the rear surface 15. Also, the upper end 31 of the band body of the left shoulder strap 3 is connected to the left side 13 of the center of the upper end 11 of the mitt body 1, and the lower end 32 is connected to the right side 12 of the center of the rear surface 15. However, if the right shoulder strap 2 and the left shoulder strap 3 are arranged so that they cross each other, it is inconvenient because the wearer needs to put his / her head between the right shoulder strap 2 and the left shoulder strap 3 when wearing it. Therefore, as described above, it is preferable to arrange the right shoulder strap 2 and the left shoulder strap 3 so that they do not cross each other.

[0022] Also, as shown in FIG. 4(a), if the connection part of the upper end 21 of the mitt body 1 and the right shoulder strap 2 is on the rear surface 15 side of the mitt body 1, the distance between the connection part and the wearer's shoulder that supports the weight of the mitt body 1 becomes long. Then, depending on the movement of the wearer (up and down movement of the mitt body 1), the distance between the mitt body 1 and the wearer is likely to change as shown in FIG. 4(b), and there is a problem that the mitt body 1 flap. Also, as shown in FIG. 4(c), if the distance between the connection part and the wearer's shoulder is shortened to make the mitt body 1 closely contact with the wearer, there is a problem that the mitt body 1 rises up to the position of the wearer's face. Of course, the left shoulder strap 3 side has the same problem. On the other hand, in the present invention, by connecting the upper end 21 of the right shoulder strap 2 and the upper end 31 of the left shoulder strap 3 to the upper end 11 of the mitt body 1 as shown in Fig. 5, the distance between the upper end 21 of the right shoulder strap 2 and the right shoulder and the upper end 31 of the left shoulder strap 3 and the left shoulder can be shortened, so that the mitt body 1 is less likely to flap and can be held in close contact with the wearer's body. The material of the right shoulder strap 2 and the left shoulder strap 3 may be any material as long as it is strong enough to hold the mitt body 1, but for example, a flexible cloth string-like material that does not hurt the shoulder when worn may be used. In addition, a softer shoulder pad may be placed on the part of the right shoulder strap 2 and the left shoulder strap 3 where the shoulder touches.

[0023] In addition, when the mitt body 1 is tightly attached to the body, the impact is easily transmitted directly to vital points such as the groin or heart due to the close contact, and the wearer's pain is increased. Therefore, the above-mentioned mitt body 1 may be provided with a space forming portion 7 for forming a space 71 at a predetermined vital point position. The vital point position here means the front position of the mitt body 1 where the vital points such as the groin or heart of the wearer are located. By forming the space 71 at the vital point position of the mitt body 1, the direct impact to the vital point is reduced, and the wearer's pain can be prevented. The space forming portion 7 may be of any type as long as the space 71 can be formed at the vital point position. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, two space forming portions 7 may be arranged side by side between the layers of the impact absorbing material 5, for example, between the third layer 53 and the fourth layer 54, so as to sandwich the vital point position between them. This allows the space 71 to be formed between the adjacent space forming portions 7 between the third layer 53 and the fourth layer 54, i.e., at the vital point position. As another space forming part 7, one having a hole in the center can be used as shown in FIG. 6. The space forming part 7 may be provided between the layers of the impact absorbing material 5, for example, between the third layer 53 and the fourth layer 54, so that the hole is located at the vital point. This allows a space 71 to be formed between the third layer 53 and the fourth layer 54 at the hole of the space forming part 7, i.e., at the vital point. The space forming part 7 may further include a lid 72 for covering the space 71. The space forming part 7 and the lid 72 may be made of the same material as the impact absorbing material. Note that the space 71 is preferably configured so that air in the space 71 can escape when an impact is applied, in order to further reduce the impact. Therefore, it is preferable that the space forming part 7 is configured so that air can escape between the space forming part 7 and the layer of the impact absorbing material 5 when an impact is applied by being disposed between the layers of the impact absorbing material 5. Furthermore, the space forming portion 7 and the lid 72 may be made of a sponge-like material that allows air to escape from the space 71 when an impact is applied to the space 71.

[0024] The body mitt of the present invention may also include a waist band 4 arranged on the rear surface 15 side of the mitt body 1 to fit the wearer's waist. The waist band 4 may be composed of a waist band main body connected from the right side 12 to the left side 13 of the rear surface 15 of the mitt body 1, and a length adjustment unit 45 that can adjust the length of the waist band main body. The material of the waist band 4 may be any material that can fit the mitt body 1 to the wearer's waist. For example, a flexible cloth string that does not hurt when wrapped around the waist may be used. The length adjustment unit 45 may be any well-known material that can adjust the length of the waist band main body. This allows the mitt body 1 to fit the wearer's waist by adjusting the length of the waist band main body. A specific example of the length adjustment unit 45 may be, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener and a buckle. In this case, the waist band main body is composed of a first waist band main body and a second waist band main body. The first waist band main body is fixed to the mitt body 1 at one end and has a loop or hook surface of a hook-and-loop fastener at the other end. The second waist band body has both a loop surface and a hook surface. The second waist band body is passed through a buckle, and the loop surface and the hook surface are abutted and bonded to the buckle, so that the waist band body can be adjusted to any length by abutting and bonding the hook-shaped surface and the loop-shaped surface of the hook-and-loop fasteners of the first waist band body and the second waist band body at any position.
