Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to innerwear, and more particularly to innerwear worn inside outerwear equipped with a fan for introducing outside air.

Background Art

[0002] Outerwear that introduces outside air inside to cool the body is known (see Patent Document 1). This outerwear is provided with a fan. When this fan operates, air is forcibly taken in inside, and as the air flows around the wearer's body, the body is cooled. However, since the medium for cooling the body by this outerwear is outside air, there is a problem that the cooling ability decreases when the outside air temperature is high.

[0003] On the other hand, as other clothing for cooling the wearer's body, clothing with a Peltier element attached to the fabric is known (see Patent Document 2). When an electric current is applied to the Peltier element attached to the clothing according to Patent Document 2, the Peltier element absorbs heat and takes heat from the body, so the body is cooled regardless of the outside air temperature. The Peltier element is a cooling and heating member that can switch between cooling and heating depending on the direction of the electric current.

[0004] However, the Peltier element is an element that transfers heat. Therefore, when one side of the Peltier element absorbs heat, the other side generates heat, so warm air is discharged. And when outerwear is worn outside this clothing, warm air is trapped between this clothing and the outerwear, and this warm air warms the body, resulting in a problem of impairing the cooling function of the clothing.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide innerwear that can cool or heat the body without the warm air or cold air discharged from the cooling / heating member being trapped even when outerwear equipped with a fan for introducing outside air is worn on the outside.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The innerwear according to the present invention is innerwear worn inside outerwear equipped with a fan for introducing outside air, and includes a support portion that supports a cooling / heating member for cooling or heating the body. The support portion has holes provided in a support cloth body connected to the fabric of the innerwear. The cooling / heating member has an endothermic / exothermic surface that absorbs heat or generates heat according to the direction of the current supplied from a battery via a cable, and an exhaust portion for discharging warm air or cold air. When the support portion supports the cooling / heating member, the cooling / heating member penetrates through the holes, the endothermic / exothermic surface is located inside the support cloth body, the exhaust portion is located outside the support cloth body, and when the outerwear is worn, an open portion with a wide gap between the body and the fabric of the outerwear and a closed portion with a narrow gap between the body and the fabric are formed. In a path connecting the closed portion and the open portion, the support portion is provided at a position closer to the open portion than the fan.

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide innerwear that can cool or heat the body without the warm air or cold air discharged from the cooling / heating member being trapped even when outerwear equipped with a fan for introducing outside air is worn on the outside.

[0009] Another innerwear according to the present invention is characterized in that the cooling / heating member is fixed to a holding piece that spreads in a planar shape, and the holding piece and the support cloth body are joined via a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide innerwear that can easily attach a cooling and heating member.

[0011] Another innerwear according to the present invention is characterized by further comprising a fabric that is adjacent to the heat absorption and emission surface and alleviates heat transfer with the body.

[0012] According to the present invention, since a fabric is interposed between the heat absorption and emission surface of the cooling and heating member and the body, heat transfer is alleviated, and it is possible to provide innerwear with a low risk of low-temperature burns and mild burns.

[0013] Another innerwear according to the present invention further comprises a cable holding part that holds the cable outside the fabric, and when the outerwear is worn outside the innerwear, the cooling and heating member of the innerwear and the fan of the outerwear are supplied with current by the common battery, and the battery is disposed between the fabric of the innerwear and the clothing material of the outerwear.

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide innerwear that can operate a fan attached to outerwear and a cooling and heating member attached to innerwear with a common battery.

[0015] Another innerwear according to the present invention is characterized in that either a cooling switch or a heating switch that can be exchanged with each other is interposed between an end of the cable and the battery, the cooling switch regulates the direction of current in one direction, and the heating switch regulates the direction of current in the other direction.

[0016] According to the present invention, by exchanging the switch, it is possible to cause the cooling and heating member to perform only cooling or only heating, and it is possible to provide innerwear with a low risk of misoperation.

Advantages of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide innerwear that can cool or heat the body without the warm air or cold air discharged from the cooling / heating member being trapped, even when outerwear equipped with a fan for introducing outside air is worn on the outside.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Next, embodiments of the innerwear according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below are preferred embodiments of the present invention, and thus various technically preferable limitations are imposed. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these aspects unless otherwise specified in the following description to particularly limit the present invention.

[0020] [First Embodiment] The innerwear according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state where a cooling and heating member is attached to the innerwear according to the first embodiment of the present invention. (a) is a view of the back part seen from the rear, and (b) is a view of the front part seen from the front. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state where the support portion of the innerwear according to the first embodiment of the present invention supports the cooling and heating member. (a) is a diagram showing the A-A cross-section of FIG. 1, and (b) is a diagram showing the view in the direction of arrow B-B of (a). FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the cooling and heating member attached to the innerwear according to the first embodiment of the present invention. (a) is a view seen from the inside to the outside, and (b) is a view seen from the outside to the inside. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing a cooling switch and a heating switch interposed between the end of a cable for supplying current to the cooling and heating member attached to the innerwear according to the first embodiment of the present invention and a battery.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the innerwear 1 according to this embodiment has a fabric 2 that covers the wearer's body as a main component. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the innerwear 1 is configured with a front opening that is opened and closed by a fastener 1d. As shown in FIG. 1(a), the innerwear 1 is provided with four support portions 10 that support a cooling / heating member 50 that cools or heats the body by supplying an electric current, in the back body portion thereof. Specifically, a support portion 10a is provided near the left shoulder, a support portion 10b is provided near the right shoulder, a support portion 10c is provided near the left side, and a support portion 10d is provided near the right side. Note that a stretchable material is preferably used as the fabric 2 of the innerwear 1. Also, a breathable material is preferably used as the fabric 2.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1(b), a pocket 1e is provided in the front body portion of the innerwear 1, and a battery B and a switch 60 are housed in the pocket 1e. A cable C extends from the battery B via the switch 60, and an electric current is supplied to the cooling / heating member 50 via the cable C. Details of the battery B and the switch 60 will be described later.

[0023] Next, the cooling / heating member 50 and its supported state will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The supported states of the cooling / heating member 50 shown in FIG. 2 are the same for the support portions 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d. The cooling / heating member 50 is a member in which an absorption / generation heat surface 51 absorbs or generates heat by an electric current supplied from the cable C to cool or heat the body. Specifically, a Peltier element is provided inside the cooling / heating member 50, and the absorption / generation heat surface 51 is configured to absorb or generate heat according to the direction of the supplied electric current by the action of the Peltier element. The absorption / generation heat surface 51 is made of a material with high heat conductivity, and is preferably composed of a metal plate. The cooling / heating member 50 also has an exhaust portion 52 on the back side of the absorption / generation heat surface 51. When the absorption / generation heat surface 51 absorbs heat, warm air is discharged from the exhaust portion 52, and when the absorption / generation heat surface 51 generates heat, cold air is discharged from the exhaust portion 52. An exhaust fan is built into the exhaust portion 52. The support portion 10 of the innerwear 1 supports the cooling / heating member 50 such that the absorption / generation heat surface 51 faces inward (i.e., the body side) and the exhaust portion 52 faces outward.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 2(a), a part of the fabric 2 constitutes the support fabric body 2a, and the support portion 10 has a hole 11 provided in the support fabric body 2a. The cooling and heating member 50 passes through the hole 11, the heat absorption and emission surface 51 is located inside the support fabric body 2a, and the exhaust portion 52 is located outside the support fabric body 2a. Since the body is located inside the support fabric body 2a, the heat absorption and emission surface 51 can cool or heat the body. Also, since the exhaust portion 52 is located outside the support fabric body 2a, the warm air or cold air is discharged outside the inner wear 1.

[0025] Note that as shown in Fig. 2(a), a fabric 21 is joined to the inner side (i.e., the body side) of the fabric 2. The fabric 21 is adjacent to the heat absorption and emission surface 51, that is, the fabric 21 is interposed between the heat absorption and emission surface 51 and the body. Thereby, since the heat transfer between the heat absorption and emission surface 51 and the body is alleviated, the risk of low-temperature burns and slight burns is reduced. Although the material of the fabric 21 is arbitrary, the same material as the fabric 2 is preferable.

[0026] A cable C for supplying current is connected to the cooling and heating member 50. The cable C passes between the support fabric body 2a and the fabric 21 in the support portion 10. And at locations other than the support portion 10, it passes inside the fabric 2, that is, between the fabric 2 and the body. Note that as shown in Fig. 2(b), the fabric 21 is sewn to the fabric 2 at the sewing side H and is not sewn to the fabric 2 at the non-sewing side J. Therefore, the cable C connected to the cooling and heating member 50 passes through the non-sewing side J. The shape of the fabric 21 and the arrangement of the sewing side H and the non-sewing side J can be set arbitrarily.

[0027] Next, the connection between the cooling and heating member 50 and the support portion 10 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a holding piece 53 that spreads out in a planar shape is connected to the cooling and heating member 50. Preferably, a thin and soft sheet is used for the holding piece 53. And a hook-and-loop fastener portion 54 is provided on the outer surface of the holding piece 53. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the hook-and-loop fastener portion 54 of the holding piece 53 is connected to a hook-and-loop fastener loop portion 12 provided on the inner surface of the support cloth body 2a. Thereby, the holding piece 53 is connected to the support cloth body 2a. That is, the cooling and heating member 50 is connected to the support portion 10. Of course, it is also possible to reverse the arrangement of the hook-and-loop fastener portion 54 and the hook-and-loop fastener loop portion 12.

[0028] Next, the battery B and the cable C for supplying current to the four cooling and heating members 50 will be described with reference to FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the battery B is housed in a pocket 1e in the front body part of the innerwear 1, and from here, current is supplied to the four cooling and heating members 50 arranged in the back body part through the cable C. The wiring of the cable C between the battery B and the cooling and heating member 50 is arbitrary, but in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1(a), the cable C extends in series so as to reach the support portion 10c from the battery B through the support portion 10d, the support portion 10b, and the support portion 10a.

[0029] The battery B is arranged outside the fabric 2 in the front body part, but as shown in FIG. 2, most of the cable C passes through the inside of the fabric 2. Therefore, a through-hole through which the cable C passes is provided in the fabric 2 between the pocket 1e and the support portion 10d.

[0030] Next, the switch 60 will be described with reference to FIG. 4. As described above, the cooling and heating member 50 changes between cooling and heating depending on the direction of the supplied current. The switch 60 controls the strength of the current while defining the direction of the supplied current, and is interposed between the end Ca of the cable C and the battery B. The switch 60 includes a cooling switch 61 and a heating switch 62. When the cooling switch 61 is interposed between the end Ca of the cable C and the battery B, the current supplied to the cooling and heating member 50 is defined in one direction. When the current flows in one direction, the heat absorption and emission surface 51 of the cooling and heating member 50 absorbs heat, and thus the body is cooled. At the same time, the exhaust portion 52 of the cooling and heating member 50 discharges warm air. On the other hand, when the heating switch 62 is interposed between the end Ca of the cable C and the battery B, the current supplied to the cooling and heating member 50 is defined in the other direction. When the current flows in the other direction, the heat absorption and emission surface 51 of the cooling and heating member 50 generates heat, and thus the body is heated. At the same time, the exhaust portion 52 of the cooling and heating member 50 discharges cold air.

[0031] The cooling switch 61 and the heating switch 62 are detachably mounted between the end Ca of the cable C and the battery B so that either one of the cooling switch 61 and the heating switch 62 can be selected. When the cooling switch 61 is selected and mounted and current is passed, the cooling and heating member 50 always cools the body. When the heating switch 62 is selected and mounted and current is passed, the cooling and heating member 50 always heats the body. Therefore, by replacing the switch 60, the cooling and heating member 50 can be made to perform only cooling or only heating, reducing the risk of incorrect operation. Therefore, the cooling switch 61 can be left mounted in summer, and the heating switch 62 can be left mounted in winter. Note that the operation of the switch 60 can also be configured to be switched only between ON / OFF by a button or the like, and can also be configured to change the intensity of cooling or heating by a knob or the like.

[0032] Incidentally, the cable C shown in FIG. 1 extends from the battery B and is configured to connect four cooling and heating members 50 in series to supply current. However, it is also possible to configure to connect the battery B and the four cooling and heating members 50 with four parallel cables, and it is also possible to adopt other power supply paths. Further, it is also possible to provide a cable holding portion for holding the cable C inside the fabric 2 to determine the position of the cable C. In FIG. 1, the pocket 1e for accommodating the battery B and the like is provided in the front body, but it can also be installed at an arbitrary location. Further, although the battery B is arranged outside the fabric 2, it is also possible to arrange it inside the fabric 2.

[0033] [Second Embodiment] Next, the innerwear according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in which the support portion of the innerwear according to the second embodiment of the present invention supports the cooling and heating member, (a) is a diagram showing a cross section corresponding to FIG. 2(a), and (b) is a diagram showing a view taken along the C-C arrow of (a).

[0034] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is the configuration of the support portion 10. In the innerwear 1 according to the second embodiment, the support cloth body 22 coupled to the fabric 2 constitutes the support portion 10, and the holes 11 are provided in the support cloth body 22. The cooling and heating member 50 penetrates through the holes 11, the heat absorption and emission surface 51 is located inside the support cloth body 22, the exhaust portion 52 is located outside the support cloth body 22, and the surface fastener hook portion 54 of the holding piece 53 coupled to the cooling and heating member 50 is coupled to the surface fastener loop portion 12 provided on the inner surface of the support cloth body 22. That is, similar to the first embodiment, the heat absorption and emission surface 51 cools or heats the body, and the warm air or cold air is discharged to the outside of the innerwear 1 from the exhaust portion 52. The support cloth body 22 is sewn to the fabric 2 with the sewing side H shown in FIG. 5(b), but it can also be coupled by an appropriate method other than this.

[0035] In the innerwear 1 according to the second embodiment, no holes are provided in the fabric 2, and a fabric 2b which is a part of the fabric 2 is adjacent to the heat absorption and heat generation surface 51. Therefore, the fabric 2b is interposed between the heat absorption and heat generation surface 51 and the body, whereby the heat transfer between the heat absorption and heat generation surface 51 and the body is alleviated. In the present embodiment, the cable C is configured to be located outside the fabric 2 as shown in FIG. 5.

[0036] [Third Embodiment] Next, the innerwear according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which the support portion of the innerwear according to the third embodiment of the present invention supports the cooling and heating member, and is a view showing a cross section corresponding to FIG. 2(a).

[0037] Similar to the second embodiment, the innerwear 1 according to the third embodiment includes a support fabric body 22 that is coupled to the fabric 2 and provided with holes 11, which constitutes the support portion 10. The cooling and heating member 50 passes through the holes 11, and the heat absorption and heat generation surface 51 is located inside the support fabric body 22, and the exhaust portion 52 is located outside the support fabric body 22, which is also the same as the second embodiment.

[0038] The difference from the second embodiment is the method of coupling the cooling and heating member 50 and the support fabric body 22. As shown in FIG. 6, the cooling and heating member 50 in the present embodiment includes a flange 56, and the ring body 55 and the flange 56 sandwich the support fabric body 22 around the holes 11, so that the cooling and heating member 50 is configured to be supported by the support portion 10. Also in the present embodiment, the cable C is configured to be located outside the fabric 2 as shown in FIG. 6.

[0039] [When wearing outerwear] Next, the case of wearing outerwear with a fan attached to the outside of the underwear according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a view of the back of the outerwear with a fan attached to the outside of the underwear according to the present invention as seen from the back. Here, although outerwear with short sleeves is taken as an example for explanation, the same applies to outerwear with long sleeves or no sleeves.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 7, a fan 91 for introducing outside air is attached to the fabric 92 of the outerwear 90. The fan 91 is provided at two locations on the left and right slightly above the hem at the back of the outerwear 90. Elastic rubber is built into the hem of the outerwear 90, and when worn, the gap between the fabric 92 and the body at the hem becomes narrow, forming a closed portion N.

[0041] On the other hand, the back of the neck and the cuffs of the outerwear 90 are made loose. Therefore, when the outerwear 90 is worn, the gap between the fabric 92 and the body is wide at these locations, forming an open portion W.

[0042] When the fan 91 of the outerwear 90 is operated, the outside air introduced from the fan 91 does not go toward the closed portion N but toward the open portion W. Therefore, the outside air introduced from the fan 91 provided slightly above the hem, which is the closed portion N, flows through a path connecting the hem, which is the closed portion N, and the back of the neck and the cuffs, which are the open portion W. That is, it flows adjacent to the back and under the armpits.

[0043] In the underwear 1, four support portions 10 for supporting the cooling and heating member 50 are provided, and all are located on the path connecting the closed portion N and the open portion W. That is, the support portions 10a and 10b are located on the path from the closed portion N at the hem to the open portion W at the back of the neck, and the support portions 10c and 10d are located on the path from the closed portion N at the hem to the open portion W at the cuffs.

[0044] As described above, the cooling and heating member 50 discharges warm air or cold air from its exhaust portion 52. Since the support portions 10 that support the cooling and heating member 50 are all located on the path connecting the closed portion N and the open portion W, the warm air or cold air discharged from the exhaust portion 52 is quickly discharged outside the outer wear 90 from the open portion W by the air flow formed by the fan 91. That is, since the warm air or cold air discharged from the exhaust portion 52 does not accumulate in the space between the inner wear 1 and the outer wear 90, the body is appropriately cooled or heated by the heat absorption and emission surface 51.

[0045] [Commonization of the power supplies of the cooling and heating member and the fan] Next, a form in which an outer wear with a fan attached is worn outside the inner wear according to the third embodiment of the present invention and the power supplies of the cooling and heating member and the fan are made common will be described with reference to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing a cross section of a path connecting a closed portion and an open portion in a state where an outer wear with a fan attached is worn outside the inner wear according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] The inner wear 1 shown in FIG. 8 is the inner wear 1 according to the above-described third embodiment, and is configured such that the cable C is located outside the fabric 2. A cable holding portion 15 for holding the cable C is provided outside the fabric 2. The cable holding portion 15 can be arbitrarily configured so as to hold the cable C, but it is preferable to configure it by sewing a loop-shaped member through which the cable C passes to the fabric 2.

[0047] The fan 91 of the outer wear 90 is disposed slightly above the closed portion N. The fan 91 introduces outside air from an air intake port 91a disposed outside the clothing material 92 and sends air toward the open portion W from an air outlet 91b disposed inside the clothing material 92. A cable D for supplying current to the fan 91 is disposed inside the clothing material 92. A space K is formed between the fabric 2 of the inner wear 1 and the clothing material 92 of the outer wear 90.

[0048] The cable C connected to the cooling and heating member 50 and the cable D connected to the fan 91 both pass through the space K, so they can be easily connected to the battery B disposed in the space K. That is, the power supplies of the cooling and heating member 50 and the fan 91 can be easily shared. As a result, it is not necessary to separately prepare batteries for the inner wear 1 and the outer wear 90, and the overall weight can be reduced. Although not shown in FIG. 8, an arbitrary switch for controlling the current can be interposed between the ends of the cable C and the cable D and the battery B. It is preferable to provide a pocket for accommodating the battery B in the inner wear 1 or the outer wear 90.

[0049] In FIG. 8, the inner wear 1 according to the third embodiment in which the cable C is disposed outside the fabric 2 was used, but it is also possible to use the inner wear 1 in which the cable C is located inside the fabric 2 and configure it to share the power supplies of the cooling and heating member 50 and the fan 91. That is, a through hole may be provided in the fabric 2 to extend the end of the cable C outside the fabric 2 and connect it to the battery there. It is also possible to configure the cooling and heating member 50 and the fan 91 to be supplied with current from separate batteries.

[0050] [Other Embodiments] The inner wear 1 according to the foregoing embodiment was configured to be front-opening, but it is also possible to configure it not to be front-opening and not to divide the front body. Further, the inner wear 1 according to the foregoing embodiment had long sleeves, but it is also possible to make it have half sleeves or be a sleeveless vest. It is also possible to wear another inner wear inside the inner wear 1. It is also possible to use mesh as the fabric 2 of the inner wear 1.

[0051] In addition, the innerwear 1 according to the above-described embodiment was provided with four support portions 10 that respectively supported the four cooling and heating members 50, but the number of support portions 10 can be arbitrarily set. Further, the position where the cooling and heating member 50 is attached, that is, the position of the support portion 10, can be set to an arbitrary position closer to the open portion W than the fan 91 in the path connecting the closed portion N and the open portion W.

[0052] In addition, the switch 60 in the above-described embodiment was configured to select and use either the cooling switch 61 that only performs cooling or the heating switch 62 that only performs heating, but it is also possible to configure it to control by switching between cooling or heating with only one switch 60.

[0053] In addition, it is also possible to configure the innerwear 1, the cooling and heating member 50, and the cable C according to the above-described embodiment as a set. Further, it is also possible to configure it as a combination of the set consisting of the innerwear 1, the cooling and heating member 50, and the cable C according to the above-described embodiment and the outerwear with a fan attached.
