Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When wearing an upper garment as described in Patent Document 1 and carrying a backpack, the tape of the shoulder harness of the backpack may be located below the fan. Since the tape blocks the front side from below the fan, the flow of air flowing to the front side of the body is obstructed, and the front side becomes hot. On the other hand, even if the position of the fan is changed so that the tape of the shoulder harness of the backpack is located above the fan, the tape blocks the rear side from above the fan, so the flow of air flowing to the rear side of the body is obstructed, and the rear side becomes hot.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is not to obstruct the flow of air to the front side and the rear side even when carrying something to be carried on the back such as a backpack or a lawn mower.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present disclosure relates to an upper garment, which includes a garment body including a front body and a back body, a right blower provided on the right back side of the garment body for taking in outside air, and a left blower provided on the left back side of the garment body for taking in outside air. The right blower and the left blower are arranged such that the distances along the wearing length direction from the wearing length measurement reference point around the collar of the garment body are different from each other.

Advantages of the Invention

[0007] According to the present disclosure, even when carrying something to be used on the back such as a backpack or a lawn mower, the air flow is not obstructed on either the front side or the back side.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of understanding of the description, the same components in each drawing are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, the upper garment 2 according to this embodiment includes a garment body 21, a right blower 22, and a left blower 23. The garment body 21 includes a front body and a back body. The right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are fans for taking in outside air into the garment body 21. The right blower 22 is provided on the right back side of the garment body 21. The right back side is a region from the right armpit to the right half of the back. The left blower 23 is provided on the left back side of the garment body 21. The left back side is a region from the left armpit to the left half of the back.

[0011] The right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are arranged such that the distances along the wearing length direction L from the wearing length measurement reference point P around the collar of the garment body 21 are different from each other. More specifically, the upper right distance L22a of the right blower 22 is longer than the upper left distance L23a of the left blower 23. The upper right distance L22a is the distance from the upper end of the right blower 22 to the wearing length measurement reference point P in the direction along the wearing length direction L. The upper left distance L23a is the distance from the upper end of the left blower 23 to the wearing length measurement reference point P in the direction along the wearing length direction L.

[0012] The right center distance L22b of the right blower 22 is longer than the left center distance L23b of the left blower 23. The right center distance L22b is the distance from the center of the right blower 22 to the wearing length measurement reference point P in the direction along the wearing length direction L. The left center distance L23b is the distance from the center of the left blower 23 to the wearing length measurement reference point P in the direction along the wearing length direction L.

[0013] The lower right distance L22c of the right blower 22 is longer than the lower left distance L23c of the left blower 23. The lower right distance L22c is the distance from the lower end of the right blower 22 to the wearing length measurement reference point P in the direction along the wearing length direction L. The lower left distance L23c is the distance from the lower end of the left blower 23 to the wearing length measurement reference point P in the direction along the wearing length direction L.

[0014] In this embodiment, the right upper end distance L22a of the right blower 22 and the left lower end distance L23c of the left blower 23 are arranged to be substantially the same distance. Therefore, when viewed in the direction along the body width direction W, the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are arranged at non-overlapping positions.

[0015] FIG. 2(A) is a view showing a state of wearing the upper garment 2 and carrying the backpack BP on the back from above, and shows a state viewed from the left rear. FIG. 2(B) is a view showing a state of wearing the upper garment 2 and carrying the backpack BP on the back from above, and shows a state viewed from the right rear.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2(A), the left tape BPb constituting the left shoulder harness of the backpack BP is located below the left blower 23. Therefore, the air taken in by the left blower 23 flows toward the back side.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 2(B), the right tape BPa constituting the right shoulder harness of the backpack BP is located above the right blower 22. Therefore, the air taken in by the right blower 22 flows toward the front side.

[0018] As described with reference to FIG. 1, in this embodiment, when viewed in the direction along the body width direction W, the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are arranged at non-overlapping positions. As described with reference to FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B), when carrying the backpack BP, one blower is located above the tape constituting the shoulder harness, and the other blower is located below the tape constituting the shoulder harness, so that the air taken into the upper garment 2 can flow to both the front side and the back side.

[0019] Therefore, when viewed in the direction along the body width direction W, even if the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 partially overlap, it is sufficient if one blower is located above the tape and the other blower is located below the tape. For example, when viewed in the direction along the body width direction W, the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 may overlap by about half, or may overlap by about one-third. Also, although an example in which the right blower 22 is arranged below and the left blower 23 is arranged above has been described, the positional relationship between the left and right blowers may be reversed.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3, a battery storage pocket 251 for storing a battery 25 for driving the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 may be provided. The battery storage pocket 251 can be wound around the user's waist and worn.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, a battery storage pocket 252 for storing the battery 25 is provided on the back surface of the clothing body 21. The battery 25 may be stored in the battery storage pocket 252, or may be stored in the battery storage pocket 251 if the weight is a concern.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 4, a mesh member 24 is detachably provided on the back surface of the clothing body 21. The mesh member 24 has a three-dimensional mesh structure so that air can flow inside.

[0023] When not carrying the backpack BP, the mesh member 24 can be removed from the clothing body 21 and used. Also, as shown in FIG. 5, when not wearing the upper garment 2, the mesh member 24 can be attached to the back surface of the backpack BP.

[0024] In the upper garment 2, the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 can be removed from the garment body 21 and worn as a windbreaker. When the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are removed from the garment body 21, the manner of closing the opening will be described with reference to FIGS. 6, 7, and 8. FIG. 6 is a view of the state in which the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are removed from the garment body 21 shown in FIG. 1 and the lid portion 26 for closing the opening 211a is attached, as seen from the front surface side 21F of the garment body which is the front surface side of the garment body 21. FIG. 7 is a view of the portion shown in FIG. 6 as seen from the back surface side 21R of the garment body which is the back surface side of the garment body 21. FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the VIII-VIII cross-section of FIG. 7.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 6, a core material portion 211 is provided on the front surface side 21F of the garment body. The core material portion 211 is a portion reinforced for attaching the right blower 22 or the left blower 23. The core material portion 211 is formed in an annular shape. A circular opening 211a is formed along the inner edge portion of the core material portion 211. The lid portion 26 is disposed so as to close the opening 211a. The lid portion 26 is attached from the back surface side of the garment body 21. Along the core material portion 211, for example, four first surface fasteners 211b are provided. The first surface fasteners 211b are provided on the back surface side of the garment body 21. A second hook 261 as a second engaging portion is provided on the lid portion 26.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 7, the lid portion 26 is attached to the back surface side 21R of the garment body. Along the outer periphery of the lid portion 26, for example, four second surface fasteners 262 are provided. The second surface fasteners 262 are provided at positions corresponding to the first surface fasteners 211b (see FIG. 6), and are in contact with the first surface fasteners 211b to fix the lid portion 26 to the garment body 21.

[0027] A fixing extension portion 212 is provided on the back surface side 21R of the garment body. A first hook 212a as a first engaging portion is provided on the fixing extension portion 212. The first hook 212a engages with the second hook 261 (see FIG. 6) to hold the lid portion 26 so that it does not easily detach from the garment body 21.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 8, the first surface fastener 211b and the second surface fastener 262 are arranged to be in contact with each other. The fixing extension 212 is provided in a loop shape so as to extend from the outer peripheral portion of the first surface fastener 211b on the back surface side 21R of the clothing body. A first hook 212a is provided on the lid portion 26 side of the fixing extension 212. The fixing extension 212 has a length such that the first hook 212a can reach a position where it can be engaged with the second hook 261.

[0029] [Appendix] The following Appendices 1 to 4 can be arbitrarily combined as long as there is no technical contradiction.

[0030] [Appendix 1] A clothing body 21 including the front body and the back body, A right blower 22 provided on the right back side of the clothing body 21 for taking in outside air, A left blower 23 provided on the left back side of the clothing body 21 for taking in outside air, and The upper garment 2 in which the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are arranged such that the distances along the wearing length direction L from the wearing length measurement reference point P around the collar of the clothing body 21 are different from each other.

[0031] According to Appendix 1, since the right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are arranged such that the distances along the wearing length direction L from the wearing length measurement reference point P around the collar of the clothing body 21 are different from each other, when carrying the backpack BP, one blower can be located above the tape constituting the shoulder harness, and the other blower can be located below the tape constituting the shoulder harness. Air can be sent to the back side from the blower located above the tape, and air can be sent to the front side from the blower located below the tape. Therefore, even when carrying the backpack BP, the air flow is not obstructed on either the front side or the back side, and effective cooling can be achieved.

[0032] [Appendix 2] The upper garment 2 according to appended claim 1, wherein a mesh member 24 as an air circulation member provided with a ventilation passage is detachably attached to the back side of the back surface of the garment body 21.

[0033] According to appended claim 2, since the air circulation member provided with the ventilation passage is provided on the back side of the back surface of the garment body 21, even when the backpack BP is carried, air can smoothly flow to the back side. Since the air circulation member is detachably provided, it can be removed and stored when the backpack BP is not carried.

[0034] In addition, in the present embodiment, the mesh member 24 having a three-dimensional mesh structure inside is exemplified as the air circulation member, but other aspects can be adopted as long as they have a structure through which air can pass. Further, as a configuration for detachably attaching the air circulation member, various ones such as hooks and surface fasteners can be adopted.

[0035] [Appended claim 3] The upper garment 2 according to appended claim 1 or 2, comprising a battery storage pocket 252 as a main body storage portion for storing a battery 25 for driving a right blower 22 and a left blower 23 on the back surface of the garment body 21, and a battery storage port 251 as an independent storage portion including a belt to which the battery 25 can be attached independently of the garment body 21.

[0036] Since a main body storage portion for storing the battery 25 is provided on the back surface of the garment body 21, the battery 25 can be held integrally with the garment body 21. If the weight of the battery 25 is a concern, since an independent storage portion independent of the garment body 21 is provided, the battery 25 can be stored in the independent storage portion to reduce discomfort.

[0037] In addition, in the present embodiment, the battery storage port 251 is exemplified as the independent storage portion, but other aspects such as being worn from the shoulder instead of the manner of winding around the waist described with reference to FIG. 3 may be adopted.

[0038] [Appended claim 4] The right blower 22 and the left blower 23 are provided so as to be removable from the clothing body 21. When the right blower 22 or the left blower 23 is removed from the clothing body 21, it is provided with a lid portion 26 that closes the opening 211a corresponding to the right blower 22 or the left blower 23. The lid portion 26 is arranged to close the opening 211a from the back side of the clothing body 21, and is detachably fixed by a first surface fastener 211b provided along the periphery of the opening 211a and a second surface fastener 262 provided on the lid portion 26. At the same time, the first hook 212a as the first mating portion provided on the fixing extension portion 212 extending from the back side of the clothing body 21 mates with the second hook 261 as the second mating portion provided on the lid portion 26, and is detachably fixed. The upper garment 2 described in Supplementary Note 1.

[0039] According to Supplementary Note 4, since the opening 211a from which the right blower 22 or the left blower 23 is removed can be closed by the lid portion 26, the upper garment 2 can be used as a windbreaker when the blower is not in use.

[0040] In the lid portion 26, the second surface fastener 262 and the second hook 261 are provided on different surfaces. Since the surface fastener maintains the state where the lid portion 26 and the clothing body 21 are in contact in a wide area, the generation of gaps can be suppressed as much as possible. Since the hook forms a stronger mating state than the surface fastener, the lid portion 26 can be prevented from falling off the clothing body 21 as much as possible.

[0041] Since the hooks are provided in a one-to-one correspondence between the lid portion 26 side and the clothing body 21 side, it also functions as a positioning means for the lid portion 26 with respect to the opening 211a of the clothing body 21, and the corresponding surface fastener can be surely brought into contact. In the above-described exemplary embodiment, an example in which a pair of hooks is provided, such as the first hook 212a and the second hook 261, has been described. However, a plurality of pairs of hooks may be provided. In that case, it is preferable to make a correspondence such as color-coding so that the correspondence relationship of the hooks forming a pair is clear.

[0042] As a result of the configuration as described in Supplementary Note 4, the lid portion 26 can be easily attached, and it does not take up much space even when the lid portion 26 is provided. Since the peripheral edge of the lid portion 26 is brought into close contact with the clothing body 21 by the hook-and-loop fastener, the windproof property can be enhanced. Since the lid portion 26 is attached to the clothing body 21 from the back side, it is not conspicuous.

[0043] Since the first hook-and-loop fastener 211b is attached at a position corresponding to the core material portion 211 for fixing the right blower 22 and the left blower 23, the effect that the hardness peculiar to the hook-and-loop fastener is not conspicuous is also achieved.

[0044] The present embodiment has been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these specific examples. Those obtained by appropriately making design changes to these specific examples by those skilled in the art are also included in the scope of the present disclosure as long as they have the features of the present disclosure. Each element included in each of the above-described specific examples, and its arrangement, conditions, shape, etc. are not limited to those illustrated and can be changed as appropriate. Each element included in each of the above-described specific examples can be appropriately combined as long as no technical contradiction occurs.
