Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the above-described carrying aid, the burden on the arm is reduced by receiving the load of the workpiece on the hook portion with the user's shoulder. However, since the hook portion is not fixed near the user's body, it lacks stability during transportation. Also, when lowering the lifted workpiece to a predetermined position and then performing another manual operation, and then immediately trying to lift the required workpiece for transportation, there is the annoyance of pulling the hook portion to the appropriate position, which also has the drawback of significantly deteriorating workability.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a carrying aid that stably reduces the burden on the user's arm and has good workability.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present invention includes a shoulder strap portion that is hung on the user's shoulder, a long hanging belt portion whose one end is connected at the end of the shoulder strap portion, and a wrist belt portion that is connected to the other end of the hanging belt portion. A hook attachment portion is provided on the wrist belt portion, and a hook member is attached to the hook attachment portion. In the worn state on the user, the shoulder strap portion is hung on the user's shoulder, the wrist belt portion is wound around the user's wrist, and further, the hook member is disposed on the palm of the user's hand and abuts against the lower end of the workpiece to be carried, and the workpiece is supported by the palm of the user's hand and carried, and the load of the workpiece is applied to the user's shoulder via the hanging belt portion. It is a carrying aid characterized by being in a state.

[0007] In such a configuration, since the hook member is fixed while being disposed on the palm side of the user's hand by the wrist belt portion, when lifting the workpiece, the hook can be immediately inserted into the lower end of the workpiece while supporting it with the palm, and the operation of grasping the workpiece to be carried can be easily performed. Further, the load of the lifted workpiece is transmitted from the hanging belt portion to the shoulder strap portion and directly applied to both shoulders of the user, so that the burden on the user's arms can be reduced.

[0008] Also, a configuration is proposed in which the hook member is detachable from the hook attachment portion.

[0009] With such a configuration, the hook member can be exchanged according to the type of workpiece, and the workpiece can be carried with an appropriate hook member.

Effects of the Invention

[0010] The carrying aid of the present invention has the effect of stably reducing the burden on the user's arms and significantly improving the workability during carrying.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Embodiments of the present invention will be described according to examples. Note that the present invention is not limited to the examples shown below, and design changes can be made as appropriate.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the handling aid 1 includes a long shoulder strap part 10 that is slung over both shoulders of the user H. One end of an adjustable-length suspension belt part 20 is connected to each of both ends of the shoulder strap part 10. And an annular wrist belt part 30 that is wound around the user H's wrist is connected to the other end of the suspension belt part 20.

[0014] Furthermore, a hook attachment part 40 is provided on the wrist belt part 30, and a hook member 50 is attached to the hook attachment part 40.

[0015] Next, each part will be described in detail.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the shoulder strap portion 10 is a belt body bent in a U shape in plan view, and is provided with shoulder strap side belt connection portions 11, 11 for connecting one end of the suspension belt portion 20 to both ends.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 3, the suspension belt portion 20 is composed of a cloth belt body. One end of this suspension belt portion 20 is folded back and joined via the shoulder strap side belt connection portion 11 of the shoulder strap portion 10. Here, sewing technology or adhesion technology can be adopted for the joining of the suspension belt portion 20. Further, a length adjuster 21 for adjusting the length is attached to the suspension belt portion 20, and the length of the suspension belt portion 20 can be adjusted by the length adjuster.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the wrist belt portion 30 is composed of a long belt body made of cloth and wound around the wrist of the user H, and can be held in an annular shape using a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown). And a winding portion 31 is formed by the annular belt body. Further, a wrist belt side belt connection portion 32 to which the other end of the suspension belt portion 20 is connected is arranged at the winding portion 31. Further, the other end (upper end) of the wrist belt side belt connection portion 32 is connected to the other end of the suspension belt portion 20 via a rectangular annular connection ring portion 33, while the other end (lower end) of the wrist belt side belt connection portion 32 is connected to a hook attachment portion 40. Here, the wrist belt side belt connection portion 32 is composed of a cloth strip-shaped belt. As shown in FIG. 6, one end thereof is folded back and joined via the connection ring portion 33. And the other end of the wrist belt side belt connection portion 32 is folded back and joined via a mounting portion 41 of the hook attachment portion 40 described later. Such a wrist belt side belt connection portion 32 has a portion between one end connected to the connection ring portion 33 and the other end connected to the hook attachment portion 40 joined to the winding portion 31. Incidentally, for such joining, sewing, adhesive, stapler, etc. can be applied as described above.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 7, the hook attachment portion 40 includes a mounting portion 41 attached to the winding portion 31 of the wrist belt portion 30, and a hooking portion 42 for hooking and holding a hook member 50 described later. Further, a gap S for attaching and detaching the hook member 50 is provided in the hook attachment portion 40, and the hook member 50 can be detached from the hook attachment portion 40 by passing through the gap S.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 8(a), the hook member 50 is an L-shaped metal fitting, and an insertion hole portion 51 through which the hook hooking portion 42 is inserted is formed at the upper end portion. And the lower plate portion where the insertion hole portion 51 is not formed is made into a contact portion 52 that contacts the lower end of the work W.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, in the mounted state on the user H, the carrying aid 1 has the shoulder hanging portion 10 hung on the upper part of the user H's shoulders. And the winding portion 31 of the wrist belt portion 30 is wound around both wrists of the user H. Further, the hook member 50 is disposed on the palm side of the user H's hand. By lifting the work W in this state, the hook member 50 contacts the lower end of the work W to be carried. The load of the work W is transmitted from the hook member 50 to the shoulder hanging portion 10 via the wrist belt portion 30 and the suspension belt portion 20, and is applied to both shoulders of the user H on which the shoulder hanging portion 10 is hooked. Thereby, the burden on the hands and arms of the user H can be reduced.

[0022] The hook member 50 that contacts the work W is fixed by the wrist belt portion 30 so as to be located on the palm side of the user H's hand. Therefore, there is no annoyance of pulling the hook member 50 every time an operation is performed, and the carrying operation of the work W becomes much easier.

[0023] Furthermore, since the hook member 50 can be removed from the hook attachment portion 40, it is also possible to remove the hook member 50 when it is not needed.

[0024] The suspension belt portion 20 can be adjusted in length according to the length of the user H's arm, and can be appropriately adjusted to an appropriate length for carrying the work W.

[0025] The hook member 50 can be selected appropriately according to the type of the workpiece W. For example, as shown in FIG. 8(b), by using the hook member 100 provided with the tip portion 101, it becomes easy to carry wood or the like.

[0026] Also, as shown in FIG. 8(c), by using the U-shaped hook member 110, it becomes easy to carry the workpiece W with a handle such as a bucket. Note that the hook member does not necessarily have to be a plate body. For example, as shown in FIG. 8(d), it may be a hook member 120 formed by bending a metal bar. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 8(e), it may be a hook member 130 in which a return portion 132 that bends upward is formed at the tip of the contact portion 131. With such a configuration, it becomes easy to hold not only the box-shaped workpiece W but also the workpiece W having a handle.

[0027] Furthermore, for example, in each of the above-described hook members, it is also possible to prevent the unintended dropping of the workpiece W by coating a resin or the like for anti-slip on the contact portion with which the workpiece W comes into contact.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the dimensional shapes of the respective parts can be freely selected as appropriate. Also, for example, a fixing belt for fixing the hanging portion 10 to the user may be separately provided.
