Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cooling garment that cools a user wearing the garment by taking in air into the garment by a blower, passing the air through the garment, and discharging the air outside the garment.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in this type of cooling garment, the following have been proposed as structures that do not impair the aesthetic appearance of the garment and enhance the cooling effect by taking heat from the back side of the neck. That is, in the proposed cooling garment, a lining is joined to the inside of the back body to form a two-layer structure. In addition, the back body has inclined left and right Raglan edges, and the width of the collar edge sandwiched between the Raglan edges is made longer than the width of the upper edge of the lining on the back of the lining corresponding to the collar edge. The lining has a generally trapezoidal shape in front view with curved lining side edges that widen downward on the left and right. Furthermore, with both ends of the collar edge and the upper edge of the lining aligned, the left and right lining side edges of the lining are joined to the respective Raglan edges of the back body, causing the collar edge to bulge outward from the upper edge of the lining to the outside of the garment, and forming a generally trapezoidal air passage in front view that gradually bulges upward from below toward the collar within the range of the lining (a similar configuration is described in, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

[0003] That is, in this cooling garment, without bending the collar, an air passage that gradually bulges upward from below toward the collar from the back body within the range of the lining is formed in a generally trapezoidal shape in front view. Since the air passage is formed by gradually bulging upward from below toward the collar, the aesthetic appearance of the air-conditioned garment is not impaired. In addition, the air passage has a wide inlet, a narrow outlet formed at the base of the neck, and is formed in a generally trapezoidal shape that bulges backward, so that air can be collected on the back side of the neck and smoothly discharged, and the cooling effect can be enhanced by taking heat from the back side of the neck.

Prior Art Documents

Patent Documents

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 6601703 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent No. 7365083 [Summary of the Invention] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

[0005] The problem in the above prior art example is that it is difficult to create an air flow along the neck muscles. That is, in the above prior art example, a band-shaped collar that surrounds the user's neck is provided above the front body and the back body separately. Inside this collar, a band-shaped collar core is provided in the same manner as the collar, so the collar will maintain a substantially circular shape in an upright state. Therefore, even if air is collected on the back side of the neck, the air flows out along the inner surface of the upright collar. As a result, most of the air rises from the part away from the neck muscles, and as a result, the cooling effect cannot be enhanced.

[0006] Also, in order to deflect the air flow in the neck muscle part toward the neck muscle side, the central part is opened by a length L1 with respect to the upper side of the rectangular fabric that forms the standing collar, and the fabric is folded back and overlapped in two places in the left-right direction, and the part between the overlapping parts is tilted forward to change the air flow toward the neck muscle side (a similar configuration is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 2 below). However, even in this example, similar to the above prior art document, the standing collar is in a horizontal band shape and a core material is provided inside, so it is difficult to tilt the standing collar toward the neck muscle side. As a result, most of the air rises from the part away from the neck muscles, and as a result, the cooling effect cannot be enhanced.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to enhance the cooling effect of the neck muscle part. [Means for Solving the Problems]

[0008] To achieve this object, the cooling garment of the present invention includes at least a front body, a back body, a collar, and a blower attachment portion. Raglan edges are provided on the upper left and right sides of the back body. The collar is configured to form the rear portion of the collar, and the upper end of the back body is extended to the upper end of the collar to form a raglan collar, and left and right collars arranged on the left and right sides of this raglan collar. Inside the back body, at least in the area sandwiched between the left and right raglan edges, a lining is provided. The left and right portions of this lining are attached to the back side portions of the left and right raglan edges or in the vicinity thereof. Both sides of the upper end of this lining are attached to the connecting portions of the raglan collar and the left and right collars or in the vicinity thereof. In addition, in the cooling garment of the present invention, when the portion of the raglan collar corresponding to the lower sides of the left and right collars is defined as the lower side of the raglan collar, the upper side of the raglan collar is shorter than the lower side of the raglan collar, forming a trapezoidal shape. Furthermore, in the cooling garment of the present invention, the upper portion of the raglan collar is folded back inside the raglan collar to form a trapezoidal shape. Also, in the cooling garment of the present invention, a trapezoidal back raglan collar is superimposed on the back side of the upper portion of the raglan collar. Furthermore, the cooling garment of the present invention is configured to provide a trapezoidal raglan collar core with a shorter upper side than the lower side between the front side and the back side of the raglan collar. In addition, in the cooling garment of the present invention, in the raglan edge portion of the back body, at least between the back body side gusset forming area from below the lower side portion of the raglan collar to the upper side portion of the raglan collar and the opposing side gusset forming area corresponding to this back body side gusset forming area, an elongated gusset forming material is provided. One long side of this gusset forming material is attached to the back body side gusset forming area, and the other long side of the gusset forming material is attached to the opposing side gusset forming area. The upper end portions of the back body side gusset forming area and the opposing side gusset forming area are brought close to each other and fixed together with the upper end of the gusset forming material.

Advantages of the Invention

[0009] As described above, the cooling clothing of the present invention includes at least a front body, a back body, a collar, and a blower attachment portion. Raglan edges are provided on the upper left and right of the back body. The collar is configured by a portion behind the collar, and the upper end of the back body is extended to the upper end of the collar to form a Raglan collar, and left and right collars arranged on the left and right of this Raglan collar. Inside the back body, a lining is provided at least in the area sandwiched between the left and right Raglan edges, and the left and right portions of this lining are attached to the back side portions of the left and right Raglan edges or in the vicinity thereof. Both sides of the upper end of this lining are attached to the connecting portions of the Raglan collar and the left and right collars or in the vicinity thereof, so that the cooling effect of the neck muscle portion can be enhanced.

[0010] That is, in the present invention, the collar is configured by a portion behind the collar, and the upper end of the back body is extended to the upper end of the collar to form a Raglan collar, and left and right collars arranged on the left and right of this Raglan collar. Therefore, the air collected by the lining provided at least in the area sandwiched between the left and right Raglan edges inside the back body can be effectively flowed to the neck muscle side, and as a result, the cooling effect of the neck muscle portion can be enhanced.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a front view of a cooling garment according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rear view thereof. The cooling garment 1 of this embodiment includes left and right front body parts 2, a back body part 3, a collar 4, and a blower attachment part 5. The front body parts 2 are arranged on the left and right and can be opened and closed by a fastener 6. In this example, the blower attachment part 5 is constituted by a through hole 7 provided in the back body part 3.

[0013] What is characteristic in this embodiment is the following configuration. (1) As shown in FIG. 2, at the upper left and right of the back body part 3, a Raglan edge 8 extending to the collar 4 is provided. (2) The collar 4 is constituted by a Raglan collar 9 that extends the upper end of the back body part 3 to the upper end of the collar 4, and a left collar 10 and a right collar 11 arranged on the left and right of this Raglan collar 9. The Raglan collar 9 constitutes the part behind the collar 4. Such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7 as well. In addition, in the back body part 3 of FIG. 3, the description focuses on the configuration using the Raglan edge 8, and the through hole 7 is omitted.

[0014] In FIGS. 1 to 4, 12 is an upper sleeve part, 13 is a front sleeve part, 14 is a rear sleeve part, and the sleeve is constituted by these upper sleeve part 12, front sleeve part 13, and rear sleeve part 14. As a point of attention, the Raglan edge 8 shown in FIG. 2 is constituted by running parallel the back body Raglan edge 8a of the back body part 3 and the opposing Raglan edge 12a of the upper sleeve part 12 facing this.

[0015] Next, the Raglan collar 9 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the Raglan collar 9 is formed by folding back an inverted trapezoidal back Raglan collar 9a provided at the upper part of the back body part 3 inward as shown in FIG. 4 to form a trapezoidal shape. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, when the Raglan collar 9 has a trapezoidal shape in which the upper side 9c of the Raglan collar is shorter than the lower side 9b of the Raglan collar, where the lower side 9b of the Raglan collar extends across both sides 10a and 11a corresponding to the lower sides 10a of the left collar 10 and 11a of the right collar 11.

[0016] On the other hand, the left collar 10 and the right collar 11 are rectangular shapes extending in the horizontal direction, and a collar core (15 in FIG. 5) extending in the horizontal direction is arranged between the front and back fabrics constituting the left collar 10 and the right collar 11. On the other hand, since the Raglan collar 9 is trapezoidal as described above, a trapezoidal collar core (16 in FIG. 5) with the upper side shorter than the lower side is arranged between the front fabric and the back Raglan collar 9a.

[0017] Next, the elongated gusset forming material 17 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described. This gusset forming material 17 is rectangular and elongated, and a stitching portion 17a is provided at the central axis portion in the longitudinal direction. By folding at this central axis portion, it has a V-shaped configuration that spreads on both sides with the central axis portion as the bottom (see FIGS. 5 and 6). And by arranging the bottom of the V shape on the front body 2 side (inside the cooling garment 1), the sides where the V shape spreads are arranged on the back body 3 and the upper sleeve part 12 side. That is, by fixing one long side of the gusset forming material 17 to the back body 3 and the other long side to the upper sleeve part 12 side, gussets are formed by the gusset forming material 17 between the Raglan collar 9 and the left collar 10 and between the Raglan collar 9 and the right collar 11 (see FIG. 6).

[0018] This part will be described in more detail. As shown in Fig. 2, in the area of the rear body panel edge 8a of the rear body panel 3, at least from below the lower edge 9b of the Raglan collar to the upper edge 9c of the Raglan collar, it is defined as the rear body panel side gusset forming area 18. Also, in the area of the opposing side Raglan edge 12a of the upper sleeve part 12 opposing the rear body panel Raglan edge 8a, at least from below the lower edges 10a of the left front panel 10 and 11a of the right front panel 11 to the upper edges of the left front panel 10 and the right front panel 11 aligned with the upper edge 9c of the Raglan collar, it is defined as the opposing side gusset forming area 19. Also, between the rear body panel side gusset forming area 18 and the opposing side gusset forming area 19 that opposes and corresponds to the rear body panel side gusset forming area 18, the elongated gusset forming material 17 is provided. Then, one long side of the gusset forming material 17 is attached to the rear body panel side gusset forming area 18, and the other long side of the gusset forming material 17 is attached to the opposing side gusset forming area 19. Thus, as described above, a gusset is formed by the gusset forming material 17 between the Raglan collar 9 and the left front panel 10, and between the Raglan collar 9 and the right front panel 11.

[0019] Also, as described above, this gusset is formed in the area of the rear body panel Raglan edge 8a of the rear body panel 3, with at least from below the lower edge 9b of the Raglan collar to the upper edge 9c of the Raglan collar defined as the rear body panel side gusset forming area 18, and the opposing side gusset forming area 19 is set accordingly. Therefore, a gusset can be formed between the rear body panel side gusset forming area 18 and the opposing side gusset forming area 19 between the lower edge 9b of the Raglan collar 9 and the upper edge 9c of the Raglan collar.

[0020] Next, with reference to Figs. 5 and 7, the lining 20 provided in the area inside the rear body panel 3, at least in the area sandwiched between the left and right Raglan edges 8, will be described. This lining 20 is mesh-like and has a trapezoidal shape with the upper side shorter than the lower side in a front view. The left and right portions of this lining 20 are attached along the Raglan edge 8, to its back side portion or the vicinity thereof. However, the left and right portions of the lining 20 are fixed to the portion of the opposing side gusset forming area 19 outside the gusset forming material 17 in the back body side gusset forming area 18 and the opposing side gusset forming area 19 that form the gusset. Also, as shown in FIG. 7, between the raglan collar 9 and the left collar 10, and between the raglan collar 9 and the right collar 11, the left and right portions of the lining 20 are fixed to the left collar 10 and the right collar 11 outside the gusset forming material 17. Furthermore, the lower and upper sides of the lining 20 are not fixed to the back body 3, the left collar 10, or the right collar 11, and thus a vertically extending tubular passage is formed between the lining 20 and the back body 3. Also, since this tubular passage is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, the air from the blower attached to the through hole 7 can effectively collect a part of the air rising between the front body 2 and the back body 3 and supply it to the raglan collar 9 portion.

[0021] With such a configuration, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the upper end portion of the back body side gusset forming area 18 and the upper end portion of the opposing side gusset forming area 19 are brought close to each other and fixed together with the upper end of the gusset forming material 17. That is, in the upper part of the raglan collar 9, the gusset formed by the gusset forming material 17 is eliminated, and as a result, the air rising between the lining 20 and the back body 3 can be deflected toward the neck side in the raglan collar 9 portion, as shown in FIG. 8. That is, a vertically extending tubular passage is formed between the lining 20 and the back body 3, and the back body 3 can be displaced by the gusset forming material 17 so as to bulge toward the back side therebetween. However, by bringing the upper end portion of the back body side gusset forming area 18 and the upper end portion of the opposing side gusset forming area 19 close to each other and fixing them together with the upper end of the gusset forming material 17, the gusset formed by the gusset forming material 17 is eliminated in the upper part of the raglan collar 9. As a result, the air passage that bulges toward the back side at the bottom has no gusset at the upper end portion of the raglan collar 9, and as a result, the air passage is inclined toward the neck side, and thus the air flow can be deflected toward the neck side. In addition, since the Raglan collar 9 is connected to the left collar 10 and the right collar 11 on the left and right via the gusset forming material 17, the Raglan collar 9 can be easily displaced toward the neckline side alone. As a result, the air passage is inclined toward the neckline side, and thus, the air flow can be deflected toward the neckline side.

[0022] Also, as can be understood from FIG. 2, in this embodiment, despite the configuration of changing the air flow toward the neckline side, a wide display area 21 can be formed on the back side of the back body 3. Therefore, it becomes easy to arrange designs, characters, etc. here. Note that the Raglan collar 9 of the above embodiment is formed into a trapezoidal shape by folding back the reverse trapezoidal back Raglan collar 9a provided at the upper part of the back body 3 as shown in FIG. 3 inward as shown in FIG. 4. However, the reverse trapezoidal back Raglan collar 9a may be a separate piece of trapezoidal back Raglan collar 9a, and it may be configured to be overlapped on the back side of the upper part of the Raglan collar 9.

[0023] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. And various design changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the matters described in the claims.
