DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0024] [First embodiment] A first embodiment of the garment body of fan-equipped garment according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. However, the embodiment described below has various limitations that are technically preferable for carrying out the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment and illustrated examples.

[0025] In addition, in the following description, the state in which the wearer is wearing the fan-equipped garment 100 will be taken as the basis, and the front side of the wearer will be defined as front, the back side of the wearer as back, the upper side of the wearer as top, the lower side of the wearer as bottom, the right hand side of the wearer as right, and the left hand side of the wearer as left.

[0026] [Fan-equipped clothing] As shown in FIG. 1, the fan-equipped wear 100 comprises a wear body 110, a fan 140 that introduces air into the wear body 110, a power supply unit 120 that supplies power to the fan 140, and a connection cable 130 that connects the fan 140 and the power supply unit 120. The air taken into the wear body 110 by the fan 140 is circulated along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear, thereby evaporating sweat from the body and cooling the body with the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation.

[0027] [Clothing] The garment body 110 will be described taking a blouson type as an example, but as shown in Fig. 1, it is formed into a shape that covers at least the torso of the wearer by a sheet-like member S that is either non-breathable or has a degree of breathability that allows it to be inflated by the introduction of air by a fan 140. Note that in Fig. 1, the garment body 110 is formed into a blouson type that covers the torso and arms of the wearer, but the shape of the garment body 110 is not limited to this, and it can also be formed into, for example, a coverall type in which the upper and lower garments are integrated, a vest type that covers only the torso, or a coat type that covers the torso, arms, and part of the legs of the wearer, and the garment body 110 of the present invention is not limited to the blouson type. The garment body 110 refers to the portion of the fan-equipped garment 100 that functions as clothing, excluding electrical components such as the power supply unit 120, connection cable 130, and fan 140. Additionally, the clothing fabric refers to the portion of the sheet-like member S that constitutes the clothing that covers the wearer's body and determines the shape of the clothing, and does not include additional portions that do not affect the shape of the clothing, such as the sheet-like member S used for a pocket. Additionally, the surface of the garment body 110 that faces the wearer when worn is referred to as the back surface, and the opposite surface that faces the outside space when worn is referred to as the front surface. Additionally, the back surface of the garment body 110 and the portion that is closer to the wearer than the back surface of the garment body 110 when worn are referred to as the back surface side of the garment body 110, and the front surface of the garment body 110 and the portion that is closer to the outside space than the front surface of the garment body 110 when worn are referred to as the front surface side of the garment body 110.

[0028] The garment body 110 includes an opening / closing means 111, air leakage prevention means 112, a fan mounting hole 113, an air exhaust section 114, a power supply holding means 115, and a cable holding means 116. Fig. 2A is an enlarged plan view of the fan-equipped wear 100 according to the first embodiment, and Fig. 2B is a cross-sectional view of the IIB-IIB portion of Fig. 2A. As shown in Fig. 2B, the fan-equipped wear 100 according to the first embodiment is a garment made of a sheet-like member S having an outer fabric 2 and a heat-insulating layer 3.

[0029] (Outer fabric) The outer fabric 2 is a fabric that forms the front side of the fan-equipped garment 100, and is mainly made of a tightly woven fabric. The outer material 2 is not limited to the above and may be made of, for example, polyester, a blend of polyester and cotton, nylon, or the like, as long as it has low air permeability. Note that the shading rate of sunlight may also be taken into consideration.

[0030] (Thermal insulation layer) The heat insulating layer 3 is a fabric fixed to the back side of the outer fabric 2, and is made of a material capable of containing air. In this embodiment, it is preferable to use a fleece fabric made of polyethylene terephthalate, but when the insulating layer 3 is the middle layer of a three-layer structure as described below, any suitable material can be used, such as feathers such as down, synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester, or natural fibers such as sponge and cotton. If the insulating layer 3 is made of sponge, it is preferable that the foaming rate is 80% or more and the thickness is 5 mm or more. If it is made of down, it is preferable that the air flow rate is 3 L / m. 2 It is preferable to include the above. EXAMPLES

[0031] The following describes the results of evaluation of preferred configurations for heat insulating effect for examples of the present invention and comparative examples. The present invention will be specifically described below using examples, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0032] [Configurations of Examples and Comparative Examples] The following Examples 1 to 4 were prepared, which are samples having a heat insulating layer 3, Comparative Example 1 (direct irradiation) which did not use a sample, and Comparative Example 2 which was a sample simply made of fabric without a heat insulating layer 3. Each sample of Examples 1 to 4 was a cushion-shaped bag-like body in which a heat insulating layer 3 was arranged between two pieces of fabric made of 100% polyester with a side length of about 400 mm and a thickness of about 0.1 mm, and down (Examples 1 and 2) and batting (Examples 3 and 4) were stored as the heat insulating layer 3, as described below. In order to be able to compare down and batting, the thickness of the heat insulating layer 3 made of down or batting was set to be approximately the same in Examples 1 and 3, and in Examples 2 and 4, when stored in the bag-like body. Example 1 A heat insulating layer 3 was formed by placing down having a fill power of 670 and consisting of 80% down and 20% feathers in the bag-shaped body so as to have a thickness of approximately 13.0 mm. Example 2 A heat insulating layer 3 was formed by placing down having a fill power of 670 and consisting of 80% down and 20% feathers in the bag-like body so that the thickness would be approximately 33.5 mm. Example 3 Two layers of 100% polyester batting (KNF-350 manufactured by Nippon Vilene Co., Ltd.) having a thickness of 6.5 mm were placed inside the bag-shaped body to form the heat insulating layer 3. In this Example 3, the thickness of the polyester batting that constitutes the heat insulating layer 3 is approximately 13.0 mm. Example 4 The bag-shaped body was filled with one each of 16.5 mm thick batting made of 100% polyester (KNF-950 manufactured by Nippon Vilene Co., Ltd.), 10.5 mm thick batting (KNF-650 manufactured by Nippon Vilene Co., Ltd.), and 6.5 mm thick batting (KNF-350 manufactured by Nippon Vilene Co., Ltd.), which were stacked one by one, to form the heat insulating layer 3. In this Example 4, the thickness of the batting made of polyester that becomes the heat insulating layer 3 is approximately 33.5 mm. Comparative Example 1 This is an example in which artificial sunlight is irradiated directly onto the sensor without the interposition of a sample (direct irradiation). Comparative Example 2 Only the fabric constituting the bag-shaped body used in Examples 1 to 4 above (100% polyester, approximately 0.1 mm thick, square with each side approximately 400 mm long) was prepared as a sample.

[0033] [Test Contents] An artificial solar lighting lamp (XC-100E manufactured by Ceric Co., Ltd.) is installed at a position 1 m away from the installation position of the samples of the above-mentioned examples and comparative examples. At the bottom of the sample on the opposite side to the installation position of this artificial solar lighting lamp, only the surface facing the artificial solar lighting lamp is open, and this open surface is covered with the sample to obtain a predetermined volume (approximately 5600 cm 3 A polystyrene foam was provided to form a space (length: approximately 25 cm, width: approximately 16 cm, height: approximately 14 cm) to simulate the condition inside the garment when the garment body 110 is worn. In this configuration, the temperature change was measured when the sample was irradiated with artificial solar lighting for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes. In order to make it easier to grasp the temperature change, the sensor was covered with black cloth.

[0034] The results of the above tests are shown in Table I.

[0035] [Table 1]

[0036] (evaluation) Comparing Examples 1-4 with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it is clear that the provision of the heat insulating layer 3 provides a significant heat insulating effect against irradiation of sunlight. Moreover, when Examples 1 and 2 and Examples 3 and 4 are compared, it is found that by making the heat insulating layer 3 thicker, a greater heat insulating effect can be obtained. Furthermore, when comparing Examples 1 and 3, it can be seen that using down as the insulating layer 3 provides a greater insulating effect than using padding, but even when padding is used, a sufficient insulating effect can be obtained.

[0037] (Opening and closing means) Returning to Figure 1, the opening / closing means 111 is for opening and closing the front of the garment body 110 when the garment body 110 is opened at the front and the fan-equipped garment 100 is worn, and the specific configuration thereof is arbitrary, but for example, a general linear fastener or the like is used. Note that the opening / closing means 111 can be anything that allows the divided part of the front body of the garment body 110 to be freely attached and detached, and is not limited to a linear fastener, although a linear fastener is preferable from the viewpoint of preventing air leakage.

[0038] (Air leakage prevention means) As shown in FIG. 1, air leakage prevention means 112 is provided at the bottom of garment body 110 and is a means for preventing air in the space between garment body 110 and the wearer's body from leaking to the outside through the bottom of garment body 110. As long as it can prevent air from leaking to the outside through the bottom of garment body 110, its specific configuration is arbitrary. For example, it is formed by providing an elastic member such as an elastic cord around the wearer's body at a position on garment body 110 corresponding to the wearer's abdomen.

[0039] When the fan-equipped wear 100 is worn, the air leakage prevention means 112 narrows the position of the wearer's abdomen on the wearer's body and fits closely to the wearer's body, preventing air introduced by the fan 140 from flowing from the space between the wearer's body 110 and the wearer's upper body to the space between the wearer's lower body and the wearer's body 110. This increases the amount of air discharged from the air discharge section 114, improving the cooling effect on the wearer's upper body.

[0040] Note that the air leakage prevention means 112 is not an essential component, and for example, if the air leakage prevention means 112 is not provided and the garment body 110 is a coverall type, the air introduced by the fan 140 may also flow from the space between the garment body 110 and the upper body of the wearer to the space between the garment body 110 and the lower body of the wearer, and be discharged from the hem. In this case, it is possible to cool the entire body of the wearer evenly. In this way, depending on the shape of the garment body 110, the air leakage prevention means 112 may not be provided.

[0041] (Fan mounting hole) As shown in FIG. 1, the fan mounting hole 113 is a hole formed in the sheet-like member S that forms the wear main body 110 at a position corresponding to the left and right of the wearer's waist, and connects the space between the wear main body 110 and the wearer's body with the outside when the fan-equipped wear 100 is worn, and its shape is shaped to match the outer shape of the fan 140. By attaching the fan 140 so that it passes through the fan attachment hole 113 , outside air can be taken into the garment body 110 via the fan attachment hole 113 .

[0042] From the viewpoint of effectively cooling the wearer when wearing the fan-equipped garment 100, the position where the fan mounting hole 113 is formed is preferably the position described above, but is not limited to this, and it is also possible to form the hole in a position corresponding to, for example, the underarm of the wearer. Furthermore, the number of fan mounting holes 113 formed is not limited to two, and a smaller or larger number of fan mounting holes 113 may be formed and a corresponding number of fans 140 may be attached.

[0043] (Air exhaust section) As shown in FIG. 1, air exhaust section 114 is an opening for discharging air introduced from fan mounting hole 113 by fan 140 after circulating it along the wearer's body or underwear. For example, a collar air exhaust section 1141 is formed between the wearer's neck and the end of the collar of garment body 110, and a sleeve air exhaust section 1142 is formed between the wearer's arm and the sleeve of garment body 110. In addition, the air exhaust section 114 may be any section that can circulate the air introduced into the garment body 110 by the fan 140 along the wearer's body or underwear and then exhaust it, and the position at which it is formed is not limited to the collar and sleeves.

[0044] [Power supply section] The power supply unit 120 is a member for supplying power to the fan 140 described later, and is attached to the garment body 110 or in its vicinity, such as the belt of pants, by a power supply unit holding means 115. For example, a lithium ion battery pack with a safety protection circuit is built in, and the power supply unit 120 has a second connection terminal (not shown) for connecting to the fan 140 via a connection cable 130 described later.

[0045] [Connection cable] The connection cable 130 is a cable that connects the power supply unit 120 and the fan 140, and is held on the inner surface of the garment body 110 by the cable holding means 116. The power required to operate the fan 140 is supplied from the power supply unit 120 to the fan 140 via the connection cable 130. The specific configurations of the power supply unit holding means 115, the cable holding means 116, the power supply unit 120, and the connection cable 130 are arbitrary.

[0046] [fan] As shown in FIG. 1, the fan 140 is attached to the garment body 110 so as to pass through the fan mounting hole 113, and is an air introduction means that is substantially flat and substantially circular in plan view, and introduces air through the fan mounting hole 113 into the space between the garment body 110 and the wearer's body.

[0047] Any configuration can be used for the fan 140 as long as it is attached to the garment body 110 by inserting it through the fan mounting hole 113 and can introduce air into the garment body 110. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the fan 140 includes a fan body 141 and a ring-shaped mounting ring 142 for fixing the fan body 141 to the garment body 110.

[0048] [Fan body] 3, the fan body 141 has an air intake section 1411 constituting the side where air is taken in when the fan 140 is in use, an air delivery section 1412 constituting the side where air is delivered when the fan 140 is in use, a cylindrical section 1413 which is a cylindrical connecting section between the air intake section 1411 and the air delivery section 1412, and a flange section 1414 which protrudes in a direction approximately perpendicular to the side surface of the cylindrical section 1413 from the end of the cylindrical section 1413 on the air intake section 1411 side. The air intake section 1411 is provided with an opening which penetrates with the air delivery section 1412 and serves as a path for air into the fan-equipped wear 100, and the cylindrical section 1413 is formed in a circular shape such that the outer shape of the cross section when cut along a plane perpendicular to its central axis is circular, and the outer shape is formed to be approximately the same as the diameter of the fan mounting hole 113. The outer shape of the fan 140 is not limited to a circular shape, but may be another shape, such as a rectangular shape.

[0049] Furthermore, the fan body 141 has a first connection terminal 1415 connected to the connection cable 130 at a predetermined position on the air delivery section 1412 side. The specific configuration of the first connection terminal 1415 is arbitrary as long as it is a terminal to which the connection cable 130 can be connected and which can receive power from the power supply section 120.

[0050] (Mounting ring) The mounting ring 142 is a ring-shaped member for mounting the fan body 141 to the fan mounting hole 113, and is formed so that its inner diameter is the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 1413. The mounting ring 142 can be attached to the fan 140 by inserting the cylindrical portion 1413 through the mounting ring 142.

[0051] An engagement means (not shown) is formed on the outer surface of the tubular portion 1413 and the inner surface of the mounting ring 142, for example, by forming a convex portion on the inner surface side of the mounting ring 142 and forming a concave portion on the outer surface side of the tubular portion 1413 that engages with the convex portion.

[0052] 3, when attaching the fan 140 to the garment body 110, the air delivery section 1412 side of the fan 140 is inserted into the fan attachment hole 113 from the outer surface of the garment body 110 so that the flange section 1414 comes into contact with the area surrounding the fan attachment hole 113 of the garment body 110. Next, the attachment ring 142 is inserted from the inner surface of the garment body 110 to the outside of the tubular section 1413, so that the area surrounding the fan attachment hole 113 of the sheet-like member S forming the garment body 110 and the area surrounding the hole of the attachment hole reinforcing member are sandwiched between the flange section 1414 and the attachment ring 142, and in this state the attachment ring 142 is fixed to the fan body 141 by the locking means. This allows the fan 140 to be fixed to the garment body 110 by inserting it through the fan mounting hole 113. Note that the method of mounting the fan 140 in the fan mounting hole 113 is not limited to this, and various known means can be selected, such as screwing the mounting ring 142 into a threaded portion formed in the cylindrical portion 1413 of the fan 140.

[0053] [Effects of the embodiment] In conventional clothing, including clothing that has been sputtered with titanium, sunlight that passes through the fabric is irradiated directly onto the skin or underwear, causing a rise in skin temperature, but the fan-equipped wear 100 of this embodiment is clothing made of an outer fabric 2 that is highly reflective or absorbent of sunlight, and a sheet-like member S that includes an insulating layer 3 that contains air, as shown in Figure 2B, so that the outer fabric 2 reflects or absorbs sunlight, and air flows between the insulating layer 3 and the skin or underwear, preventing heat from reaching the skin or underwear. Therefore, even when the outside air temperature is higher than the skin temperature, heat is blocked by the insulating layer 3, preventing a rise in skin temperature, and the fan-equipped wear 100 functions effectively. Furthermore, the outer fabric 2 of the fan-equipped wear 100 of this embodiment can be a blend of cotton and polyester, and the insulating layer 3 will not wear out due to friction with underwear. In addition, since it is only necessary to provide the insulating layer 3 to conventional clothing, it can be manufactured relatively inexpensively.

[0054] [Second embodiment] A fan-equipped garment 100A according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 4A to 5B. Note that the same components as those in the fan-equipped garment 100 according to the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0055] FIG. 4A is an enlarged front view of a fan-equipped wear 100A according to a second embodiment, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IVB-IVB of FIG. 4A. As shown in FIG. 4B, the fan-equipped wear 100A according to the second embodiment is a garment with a three-layer structure made up of a sheet-like member S having an outer layer 2, a heat-insulating layer 3, and a lining 4 made of a material that does not easily absorb sweat.

[0056] (lining) The lining 4 is a fabric that forms the back side of the insulating layer 3 of the garment body 110A, and is preferably made of polyester, which has low sweat absorption and high solar absorption, but is not limited to this and any suitable material that is used as the lining of ordinary clothing can be used.

[0057] When the sheet-like member S and the garment body 110A are of a three-layer structure as described above and the insulating layer 3 is made of down, it is necessary to prevent the insulating layer 3, which is the middle layer, from moving. Therefore, rather than simply sewing them together as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, it is preferable that the layers are sewn together horizontally or vertically with stitches at average intervals of, for example, 10 cm to integrate them as shown in Figures 5A and 5B, and accordingly the fan attachment hole 113A and the fan 140A attached to the fan-equipped garment 100A are also formed into a roughly rectangular shape.

[0058] [Effects of the embodiment] The fan-equipped wear 100A of the second embodiment is a three-layer garment made of a sheet-like member S having, from the surface, an outer fabric 2, an insulating layer 3, and a lining 4, so that sunlight that is not completely blocked by the outer layer 2 is reflected or absorbed by the inner layer lining 4. As a result, the fan-equipped garment 100A can better prevent an increase in skin temperature, and function more effectively as a fan-equipped garment.

[0059] [Third embodiment] A fan-equipped garment 100B according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 10B. Note that the same components as those in the fan-equipped garment 100 according to the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0060] The fan-equipped wear 100B according to the third embodiment includes a fan attachment hole cover 1131 and an air discharge portion adjustment mechanism 1143.

[0061] [Fan mounting hole cover] The fan mounting hole cover 1131 is a cover for covering the fan mounting hole 113 when the fan 140 is not attached to the fan mounting hole 113 to prevent outside air from flowing into the garment main body 110B, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, and is provided with a lid portion 1131a, a fixed portion 1131b extending in one direction from the lid portion 1131a, and a detachable portion 1131c extending in the other direction.

[0062] (Configuration of fan mounting hole cover) The lid portion 1131a is made of a material with low air permeability, such as polyester, and closes the fan attachment hole 113. Note that, like the garment body 110B, the lid portion 1131a may have the same multi-layer structure as the sheet-like member S. The fixing portion 1131b is a member extending in one direction from the lid portion 1131a, and is fixed to the rear surface side in the vicinity of the fan mounting hole 113, thereby making it possible to prevent the fan mounting hole cover 1131 from being lost. The detachable portion 1131c is a member extending in the other direction from the lid portion 1131a, and has, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener attached thereto. By making the detachable portion 1131c detachable from the hook-and-loop fastener attached near the fan mounting hole 113, the fan mounting hole 113 can be covered and hidden by the lid portion 1131a inside the garment body 110B, and the detachable portion 1131 can function as a fan mounting hole cover 1131 when the fan 140 is not attached.

[0063] When the heat insulating layer 3 is made of down as described above, it is preferable that the lid portion 1131a is also formed in a substantially rectangular shape. Also, the fan attachment hole cover 1131 may be independent of the garment main body 110B without the fixing portion 1131b. Also, a storage bag may be provided on the garment main body 110B so that the fan attachment hole cover 1131 is stored in the storage bag.

[0064] [Air exhaust adjustment mechanism] The air discharge section adjustment mechanism 1143 is a mechanism for adjusting the air discharge resistance of the air discharge section 114, and its configuration differs depending on where the air discharge section 114 is provided on the garment body 110B.

[0065] (Collar air exhaust adjustment mechanism) When the collar air exhaust section 1141 is provided, as shown in Fig. 7A and Fig. 7B, for example, the air exhaust section adjustment mechanism 1143 has one end fixed to the lining 4B around the part corresponding to the shoulder blade under the collar on the inner surface of the fabric of the garment body 110B, and includes a collar adjustment belt 1143a of an appropriate length arranged across the left and right front and back body, and multiple buttonholes 1143b formed at the end of the front body. In this case, when the collar adjustment belt 1143a is fastened by the upper buttonhole 1143b as shown in Fig. 7A, the upper part of the garment body 110B is lifted from the body, and the air exhaust resistance of the collar air exhaust section 1141 is weakened. Also, when the collar adjustment belt 1143a is fastened by the lower buttonhole 1143b as shown in Fig. 7B, the upper part of the garment body 110B is in close contact with the body, and the air exhaust resistance of the collar air exhaust section 1141 is strengthened. Although Figures 7A and 7B show the case where two buttonholes 1143b are provided on the collar adjustment belt 1143a, this is not limited to this, and three or more buttonholes 1143b may be provided to make it possible to adjust the air exhaust resistance of the collar air exhaust portion 1141 in multiple stages. Also, by using a hook-and-loop fastener structure instead of button fastenings, the air exhaust resistance of collar air exhaust section 1141 may be made continuously adjustable.

[0066] (Sleeve air exhaust adjustment mechanism) Furthermore, when a sleeve air exhaust section 1142 is provided, the air exhaust section adjustment mechanism 1143 can be a mechanism capable of adjusting the diameter of the cuff. For example, as shown in Figures 8A and 8B, a line fastener 1143c that can be opened and closed can be provided in a slit parallel to the arm at or near the cuff, and the degree of opening can be adjusted to adjust the air exhaust resistance of the air flowing out from the sleeve to the outside.

[0067] Furthermore, for example, as shown in FIG. 8C, a sleeve adjustment belt 1143d equipped with a hook-and-loop fastener can be provided on the outside of the cuff, and the wrapping strength can be adjusted to adjust the degree of opening of the sleeve air exhaust section 1142 and the air exhaust resistance of the air flowing out to the outside.

[0068] In addition, for example, as shown in FIG. 8D, a rib 1143e made of an independent cylindrical knit may be provided and attached to the cuff with a hook-and-loop fastener to adjust the air discharge resistance of the air flowing out from the sleeve to the outside.

[0069] In addition, when providing rib 1143e, as shown in Figure 8E, a plastic cylinder 1144 covered with cloth may be fitted into rib 1143e as a blocking means for sleeve air exhaust portion 1142, thereby making it possible to completely block sleeve air exhaust portion 1142.

[0070] Furthermore, when sleeve air exhaust section 1142 is provided, it is preferable that the circumferential length of sleeve air exhaust section 1142 be adjustable to 130% or more of the minimum length, since this enables a more sufficient amount of air to be exhausted.

[0071] (Air exhaust adjustment mechanism in hood) Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, when a hood portion 117 that covers the wearer's neck and head is provided in the part of the garment body 110B that corresponds to the collar area, a wide mesh belt 1143f that is shorter than the inner length of the head of the hood portion 117 may be provided on the lining. By attaching such belt 1143f, hood portion 117 is lifted up, forming a gap between the lining of hood portion 117 and the top of the head, thereby reducing the resistance to air discharge.

[0072] (Air exhaust adjustment mechanism at the shoulder) Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 10A, a shoulder floating plate 1143g having a gentle curve with insertion parts at both ends may be provided, and insertion parts (not shown) through which the shoulder floating plate can be inserted may be provided on the left and right front and back panels of the garment body 110B.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 10B, the garment body 110B and the shoulder floating plate 1143g can be connected by inserting the insertion portion of the shoulder floating plate 1143g into the insertion portion. When such a garment body 110B is worn, the wearer's shoulders come into contact with the shoulder floating plate 1143g, causing the upper part of the garment body 110B to float from the body, forming a gap and weakening the air exhaust resistance of the collar air exhaust portion 1141.

[0074] [Effects of the embodiment] In conventional fan-equipped clothing, outside air flows into the clothing body through an air exhaust section. Therefore, on days when the outside temperature is low, such as in winter, outside air that is colder than the skin temperature flows in, causing the skin temperature to drop, making fan-equipped clothing unsuitable for wearing. However, the fan-equipped wear 100B according to this embodiment is equipped with a fan mounting hole cover 1131 that covers the fan mounting hole 113, and an air discharge section adjustment mechanism 1143 that adjusts the opening degree and air discharge resistance of the air discharge section 114, and is therefore able to prevent outside air from flowing into the fan-equipped wear 100B. As a result, the fan-equipped wear 100B can be worn comfortably even on days when the outside temperature is low, such as in winter.

[0075] [Fourth embodiment] A fan-equipped garment 100C according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 11A to 11C. Note that the same components as those in the fan-equipped garment 100 according to the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0076] The garment body 110C according to the fourth embodiment is a coat type garment that covers the wearer's torso, arms, and part of the legs. The garment body 110 according to the first embodiment is a blouson type garment that covers the wearer's torso and arms, and therefore the air leakage prevention means 112 could be provided at the bottom of the garment body 110, whereas the garment body 110C according to the fourth embodiment is long enough to cover part of the wearer's legs, and therefore if the air leakage prevention means 112 is provided at the hem, the appearance is not very good and the wearer would find it difficult to move.

[0077] Therefore, in a garment body 110C according to a fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11A, an inner hem 112Ca serving as air leakage prevention means 112C is provided at a location corresponding to the waist of the wearer. By doing this, while maintaining the appearance and ease of movement of the coat-type garment body 110C, it is possible to prevent outside air from entering from below the air leakage prevention means 112C, just like the garment bodies 110 to 110B, and a flow path is formed so that the outside air taken in by the fan 140 is discharged from the air exhaust section 114, thereby enhancing the cooling effect on the wearer's upper body.

[0078] In addition, the air leakage prevention means 112C in the coat-type garment body 110C is not limited to the inner hem 112Ca. As shown in FIG. 11B, it is also possible to provide multiple ring-shaped insertion portions 112Cb on the back side of the garment body 110C and insert a cylindrical body 112Cc made of a low-density sponge pipe or the like therethrough to eliminate the gap between the garment body 110C and the waist of the wearer. In this case, it is also possible to sew the tubular body 112Cc directly to the garment main body 110C without providing the insertion portion 112Cb on the inside.

[0079] In addition, as shown in FIG. 11C, the outer fabric 2, the insulating layer 3C, and the lining 4 may be stitched only horizontally, the insulating layer 3C may be thickened near the waist, and the gap between the waist and the lining 4 may be reduced, for example, by changing the shape of the garment body 110C.

[0080] [Other variations] In the above embodiment, the color of the garment body 110 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the color of the outer fabric 2 is a light color and the color of the lining 4 is a dark color. By making the outer fabric 2 a light color, it is possible to increase the ease of reflecting sunlight, and by making the lining 4 a dark color, it is possible to increase the ease of absorbing sunlight. In addition, taking into consideration the wavelength distribution of sunlight, it is preferable that the material of the garment body 110 be made of a highly reflective material for the outer fabric 2 and a highly absorptive material for the lining 4. Although the sheet-like member S has been exemplified by one having an outer fabric 2 and a heat insulating layer 3, and one having an outer fabric 2, a heat insulating layer 3, and a lining 4, the present invention is not limited to this and may be made of more layers.

[0081] In addition to the above-described embodiment, it is needless to say that specific detailed structures and the like can be modified as appropriate. [Industrial Applicability]

[0082] The present invention can be used for a garment body and fan-equipped garment that have a high insulating effect, can block sunlight, and functions effectively. [Explanation of symbols]
