Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to work clothes with an integrated harness, and in particular to work clothes with an integrated harness that holds a full harness (also called a "safety belt") that restrains a worker when working at heights. [Background technology]
[0002] At construction sites and the like, workers are required to be restrained by a full harness when working at heights in order to prevent accidental falls (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003] When such a full harness is used to restrain a worker, gaps form between the work clothes and the full harness, which can cause the harness to get caught on scaffolding or make it difficult to use pockets in the work clothes, thereby imposing a burden on the worker during work.
[0004] Furthermore, if the restraining state of the full harness is made too tight in order to eliminate the gap between the work clothes and the full harness, not only will the worker's workability be hindered, but it is also possible that the worker will suffer pain.
[0005] Therefore, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of gaps between the work clothes and the full harness by using the waist belt that the worker uses when putting on the work pants and passing part of the full harness through the waist belt like a belt loop (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2005-342308 A [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2022-034433 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] However, with the above-mentioned work clothes, gaps still tend to occur between the work clothes and the full harness, preventing the worker from feeling a sense of unity, and so it does not eliminate problems such as the full harness getting caught on scaffolding materials, etc. while working.
[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide work clothes with an integrated harness that maintain safety and functionality while ensuring a close fit to the body when the worker is restrained with a full harness, thereby providing a sense of unity and improving work efficiency. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides work clothing which is made by sewing together multiple pieces of main fabric having a predetermined shape to cover a worker's upper body or the front and back including the upper and lower body, and which has holding portions at multiple points of the main fabric located on the virtual restraint line to hold at least a part of the full harness on the virtual restraint line, so that at least the upper body of the worker is worn with a full harness along a sash-shaped virtual restraint line when working at height. Effect of the Invention
[0010] According to the present invention, while maintaining safety and functionality, it is possible to provide a sense of unity by ensuring close contact with the body when the full harness is restrained, thereby improving work efficiency. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0012] Next, a harness-integrated workwear according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013] In FIG. 1, the harness-integrated work clothes 10 include a work jacket 20 for the upper body of the worker and work trousers 30 for the lower body of the worker. The work jacket 20 and the work trousers 30 are made by sewing together a plurality of main fabrics 21, 31 having a predetermined shape to form work clothes (harness-integrated work clothes 10) that cover the front and back of the upper and lower body of the worker. Therefore, although not shown here, fasteners (zippers), buttons, various pockets P, etc. are appropriately provided. It is also possible to use general-purpose work clothes and make them into harness-integrated work clothes 10 by separately providing a holding part 23 (reference numerals "23A" or "23B" in FIGS. 1 to 3), which will be described in detail later.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, the harness-integrated workwear 10 is fitted with a full harness 40 that restrains a worker to prevent him or her from falling unexpectedly when working at height.
[0015] The full harness 40 can be a general-purpose product, but here we use one in which the belt-like upper restraint belt 41, which is positioned on the upper body side of the worker, is shaped like a sash and crosses over the back (rear side) of the worker.
[0016] If necessary, a band-like lower restraint belt 42 located on the lower body side of the worker is adapted to restrain the worker's thighs and buttocks. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper restraint belt 41 and the lower restraint belt 42 can be detachably connected via buckles 43 near the worker's left and right hips or near the left and right thighs.
[0017] A support plate 44 is provided at the intersection of the upper restraint belts 41 on the rear side.
[0018] The support plate 44 is folded back at the upper back side 41a and the lower back side 41b of the upper restraint belt 41 to guide (restrain) the worker to the left and right, respectively. A metal D-ring 45 is provided near the center of the support plate 44, and a suspending wire (not shown) is connected to the D-ring 45.
[0019] The upper restraint belt 41 is provided with a right connecting belt 46 and a left connecting belt 47 on the front right side 41c and front left side 41d located from the worker's both shoulders to the base of the arms, and each free end is connected via a buckle 48. Although not shown in detail, the buckle 48 allows the length of the right connecting belt 46 and the left connecting belt 47 to be adjusted when connected, thereby preventing the portions that wrap around the back upper side 41a from slipping off the shoulders (falling off).
[0020] As described above, the full harness 40 can be a general-purpose product, and is not limited to the above-mentioned form, for example, one that is held by a waist belt 32 attached to the work trousers 30 instead of the buckle 43.
[0021] On the other hand, when the harness-integrated work clothes 10, for example the work jacket 20, are used to restrain a worker using such a full harness 40, the positions corresponding to the belt positions when the full harness 40 is assumed to be worn are defined as imaginary restraint lines L1-L9 as shown in Fig. 1, and the holding parts 23 are provided to hold parts of the full harness 40 on the imaginary restraint lines L1-L9. The holding parts 23 are appropriately denoted by the reference characters 23A and 23B in Figs. 1 to 4 and the following description, and are collectively referred to as "holding parts 23" in the description of cases other than the specific functions of the holding parts 23A and 23B and in Figs. 5 to 9.
[0022] The retaining portion 23 is located on the imaginary restraint lines L1 to L9 of the full harness 40, and as shown in FIG. 4, comprises band-shaped cloth bodies 24, 25 whose intermediate portions excluding both end portions 24a, 25a (here, the other end portions 24b, 25b) are fixed to the main fabric 21 by sewing or the like, a joining portion 26 that joins both end portions 24a, 25a of the cloth bodies 24, 25 in a detachable manner to embrace the full harness 40, a buffer portion 27 having elasticity between the main fabric 21 and the full harness 40, and a padding cloth 28 having less frictional resistance than the buffer portion 27.
[0023] In this embodiment, the holding portion 23 is located on the back side of the worker, and the holding portions 23A located above, below, left and right with respect to the support plate 44 and the D-ring 45 are short along the imaginary restraint lines L1 and L2. In contrast, the other holding portion 23B is long so as to cover as much of the entire length of the full harness 40 as possible along the imaginary restraint lines L3 to L9. Therefore, when the worker unexpectedly falls from the work site (scaffolding, etc.) and is in a hoisted state, the engagement state of the holding portion 23A is released and the engagement state of the holding portion 23B is maintained, so that the full harness 40 can be separated from the worker and in a hoisted state.
[0024] Here, the cloth bodies 24, 25 are made of two strips of cloth, with the functional (overall) ends being the end parts 24a, 25a, and the other end parts 24b, 25b being functional (overall) middle parts. Therefore, the cloth bodies 24, 25 may be made of a single strip of cloth. The cloth bodies 24, 25 are made of a material such as nylon that has a friction coefficient equal to or higher than that of the material used in the full harness 40, or are chemically treated.
[0025] At the joint 26, near both ends 24a, 25a of the fabric bodies 24, 25, engaging members such as hook-and-loop fasteners or snap buttons, which have different male and female fasteners on the overlapping front and back sides, are used to facilitate easy fastening and unfastening.
[0026] The cushioning portion 27 is made of a sheet-like elastic foam material or gel pad.
[0027] In such a configuration, the worker first uses the retaining portion 23 on the back side to hold a part of the upper back portion 41a and the lower back portion 41b in an embraced manner, then puts on the work jacket 20 and work trousers 30, connects the right connecting belt 46 and the left connecting belt 47 on the front side with the buckle 48, and then appropriately holds a part of the full harness 40 in an embraced manner with the retaining portion 23, thereby putting on the full harness 40. Note that the right connecting belt 46 and the left connecting belt 47 on the front side may be held by the retaining portion 23 and then connected by the buckle 48. Thereafter, the worker brings the full harness 40 into an appropriate tensioned state.
[0028] In addition to the positions shown above, the holding portion 23 may be positioned, for example, near the front shoulder of the worker to hold a portion of the front right side 41c and the front left side 41d, or may hold a portion of the lower restraint belt 42 that restrains the worker's thighs and buttocks.
[0029] In this case, since the holding operation can be easily performed using the holding portion 23 from the front side of the worker and from behind, it does not matter which side holds the full harness 40 with the holding portion 23 first.
[0030] As a result, a gap is easily generated between the harness-integrated work clothes 10 and the full harness 40, and the worker can feel a sense of unity, and the restraining state of the full harness 40 can be made to be in an appropriate tension state without pain, so the worker can work without being hindered in his / her workability. In addition, even during the work, it is possible to eliminate problems such as the full harness 40 getting caught on scaffolding materials, etc.
[0031] In this way, the harness-integrated workwear 10 of this embodiment is made by sewing together multiple pieces of main fabric 21 each having a predetermined shape to cover the front and back of a worker's upper body or the upper and lower body.In order to wear a full harness 40 around at least the upper body of the worker along the sash-shaped imaginary restraint lines L1-L5 when working at height, the main fabric 21 has holding sections 23 at multiple locations on the imaginary restraint lines L1-L5 to hold at least a portion of the full harness 40 on the imaginary restraint lines L1-L5.This maintains safety and functionality while ensuring a sense of unity by ensuring a close fit to the body when the full harness is restrained, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0032] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it goes without saying that the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described here. It is clear that a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can think of various changes, modifications, combinations, etc. within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention described in the claims. Therefore, the technologies subsequent to these changes, modifications, combinations, etc. naturally belong to the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
[0033] In the above, the work clothes have been described as being composed of a long-sleeved work jacket 20 and work pants 30 worn separately on the upper and lower parts of the worker's body, but it is also possible to apply the work clothes to a so-called overall type in which the upper and lower parts of the worker's body are worn together as an integrated piece, such as the harness-integrated work clothes 50 shown in Figures 5 to 7. In this case, in contrast to the harness-integrated work clothes 10 in which the top and bottom are worn separately as in the above embodiment, in the case of the harness-integrated work clothes 50 of the overall type in which the top and bottom are integrated, one holding part 23B can be formed so as to span from both the left and right hips to the thighs, as shown in Figure 7.
[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 8, the harness-integrated work clothes 60 may be only a long-sleeved work jacket worn on the upper half of the worker's body, or as shown in Fig. 9, the harness-integrated work clothes 70 may be only a short-sleeved work jacket worn on the upper half of the worker's body. This makes it possible to apply the harness to a full upper-body harness that does not have any part to restrain the worker's thighs, for example.
[0035] In addition, although not shown in the figures, the present invention can be applied to a sleeveless vest type workwear worn on the upper body of a worker, or an air-conditioned suit equipped with an air conditioning fan that draws in outside air into the suit. In addition, in Figs. 5 to 9, the same reference numerals as in the above embodiment are used for the same parts or parts that are functionally the same as those in the above embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.
[0036] In addition, in the above, the retaining portion may be configured as a sewn portion (not shown) that is retained by sewing directly to the main fabric 21 (31) at least a portion of the retaining portion that is located on the imaginary restraint lines L1 to L9 of the full harness 40 that restrains the worker.
[0037] Moreover, whichever of the above measures is adopted, it is possible to make it difficult for the full harness to get caught or otherwise become caught while working in a restrained state, similar to the above embodiment.
[0038] Although not specifically illustrated, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
