Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a perforated jacket to which a fan can be attached. [Background technology]

[0002] Air-conditioning garments are widely used to cool workers' bodies when working outdoors in high temperatures. Conventional air-conditioning garments include, for example, a garment body, a fan attached to the garment body, and a power supply device for supplying power to the fan. When the fan is operated, air is drawn into the air-conditioning garment, circulates between the garment body and the wearer's body, and is then expelled through openings such as the collar, thereby cooling the wearer's body.

[0003] Since air-conditioning garments include electrical components such as a fan and a power supply, the fan must be removed from the garment when it is washed. Therefore, it is desirable that the fan be detachable from the garment body. For example, in the air-conditioning garment described in the cited document, the garment body and the fan each have hook-and-loop fasteners, and the fan can be attached to the garment body by engaging the hook-and-loop fasteners.

[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a fan main body and a mounting portion according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a locking portion according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the back of a perforated upper garment according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a method for attaching the locking portion to the fan. [Figure 5] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a method for attaching the fan to the clothing main body.

[0015] The perforated upper garment 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a fan 10, a fastening part 40, and a garment main body part 50. First, the fan 10 will be described.

[0016] [1. Fan Composition] In this embodiment, the fan 10 includes a fan main body 12 and a mounting portion 14. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the fan main body 12 and mounting portion 14 according to one embodiment of the present invention. (a) is a front view of the fan main body 12, (b) is an enlarged view of a portion AA in (a), (c) is a front view of the mounting portion 14, and (d) is a side view of the mounting portion 14.

[0017] The fan main body 12 includes a housing 16, a first flange 18, a battery 20, blades 22, and a motor (not shown). Note that in (b), the blades 22 of the fan main body 12 are omitted.

[0018] The housing 16 is cylindrical and houses the impeller 22 and the motor. The housing 16 has radial ribs covering the opening on the side not having the first flange 18. The shape of the ribs is not limited to a radial shape, as long as they allow air to pass through the garment main body 50 when the fan is operating. The inner circumferential surface of the housing 16 is formed with a first threaded portion 24 that corresponds to a second threaded portion 30 described below. The mounting portion 14 can be attached to the fan main body 12 by threading the first threaded portion 24 and the second threaded portion 30. The means for attaching the mounting portion 14 to the fan main body 12 is not limited to threaded engagement; existing techniques such as insertion or insertion can also be used.

[0019] The first flange 18 extends radially outward from one end of the housing 16. The first flange 18 is a thin, flat plate. The outermost diameter of the first flange 18 is larger than the diameter of a first opening 42 of a locking portion 40 (described later) and smaller than the outermost diameter of the locking portion 40.

[0020] The battery 20 is attached directly to the housing 16. That is, the fan 10 according to this embodiment is a battery-integrated fan. Note that a known technique can be used to connect the battery 20 to the motor, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0021] Although the present embodiment has described the fan 10 with an integrated battery, it is also possible to use a fan 10 in which the fan 10 and the battery 20 are separate. In the case of the fan 10 with an integrated battery, the operation switch, control unit, etc. can be housed within the housing 16, which prevents the cables connecting the electrical components from being damaged by external impacts, etc.

[0022] In this embodiment, the fan 10 has a built-in battery 20 in a circumferential portion of the housing 16 (the lower portion in the figure) when the fan 10 is attached to the clothing main body 50, but the position of the built-in battery 20 of the fan 10 is not particularly limited. Note that in the case of a fan 10 with such an offset in center of gravity, the expected airflow may not be delivered depending on the position of the battery when the fan 10 is attached to the clothing main body 50.

[0023] The mounting portion 14 includes a tubular portion 26 and a second flange 28. The tubular portion 26 has a second screw portion 30 on its outer peripheral surface that screws into the first screw portion 24. Similar to the first flange 18, the diameter of the second flange 28 only needs to be larger than the diameter of a first opening 42 of a locking portion 40 (described later) and smaller than the outermost diameter of the locking portion.

[0024] The tubular portion 26 has radial ribs that cover the opening on the side having the second flange 28. The shape of the ribs is not limited to a radial shape, and may be any shape that prevents people's fingers from touching the blades and allows air to pass through the garment main body 50 when the fan is operating.

[0025] [2. Configuration of the locking part] Next, a description will be given of the locking portion 40. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the locking portion 40 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] The locking portion 40 has a first opening 42 and a plurality of dot buttons 44. The material of the locking portion 40 is not particularly limited, but for example, using a translucent material such as acrylic resin makes it easier to see the position of the dot buttons 44 on the clothing main body 50, facilitating the installation of the fan 10 on the clothing main body 50. Furthermore, the shape of the outer edge of the locking portion 40 is not particularly limited. It may be circular as in this embodiment, or it may be rectangular or another shape.

[0027] The diameter of the first opening 42 may be any diameter that allows the tubular portion 26 to be inserted and is smaller than the outermost diameters of the first flange 18 and the second flange 28. By making the diameter of the first opening 42 smaller than the outermost diameters of the first flange 18 and the second flange 28, the locking portion 40 can be sandwiched between the first flange 18 and the second flange 28 when attaching the locking portion 40 to the fan 10.

[0028] A plurality of dot buttons 44 (also called snap buttons) are arranged near the inner edge of the first opening 42. In the following description, the locking portion 40 has four dot buttons 44, as shown in Fig. 2, and the dot buttons 44 are arranged in positions that form a trapezoid. There are no restrictions on the positions and number of the dot buttons.

[0029] The fan 10 of this embodiment is attached to the clothing main body 50 with the battery 20 positioned below the second opening 52. Therefore, by arranging the dot button 44 in a trapezoid shape with a larger bottom side, the fan 10 can be attached to the clothing main body 50 without the dot button 44 interfering with the battery 20. Note that the attachment of the fan 10 to the clothing main body 50 is not limited to the embodiment, and for example, even when the fan 10 is attached to the clothing main body 50 with the battery 20 positioned above the second opening 52, the dot button 44 may be arranged in a position that does not interfere with the battery 20, such as by arranging the dot button 44 in a trapezoid shape with a larger top side.

[0030] The dot buttons 44 are not limited to a trapezoidal shape and may be arranged in a square shape. However, by arranging them in a trapezoidal shape as in this embodiment, the attachment orientation of the battery-integrated fan 10 relative to the clothing body 50 becomes clear. With a battery-integrated fan, depending on the position of the battery after attachment to clothing, the weight of the battery can cause the fan to tilt, making it difficult to direct the gas flow in the expected direction. Therefore, it is desirable to arrange the dot buttons 44 in a trapezoidal shape or other shape that makes the attachment orientation of the battery-integrated fan 10 clear. Furthermore, the attachment orientation of the fan 10 can be made clear by setting at least one of the multiple dot buttons 44 to a different color from the other dot buttons.

[0031] There is no particular limit to the size of the dot button 44, but a size of about 5 to 20 mm is desirable. The dot button can be made of any existing material, such as metal or resin.

[0032] [3. Composition of the garment body] 3 is a schematic diagram showing the back of the garment body according to one embodiment of the present invention. The direction along the length of the perforated top 1 is the up-down direction D1, with the collar side being the upper side in the up-down direction D1 and the hem side being the lower side in the up-down direction D1. The direction perpendicular to the up-down direction D1 and along the width of the perforated top 1 is the left-right direction D2. In FIG. 1, a line parallel to the up-down direction D1 and passing through the center of the width of the top is called the center line P1.

[0033] 3, the garment body 50 has a second opening 52 and a plurality of dot buttons 44. The fabric of the garment body 50 can be any suitable material, such as polyester fiber or other synthetic fibers.

[0034] In this embodiment, two second openings 52 are formed on the lower side of the garment body in the up-down direction D1. In this embodiment, the two second openings 52 are formed at positions symmetrical in the left-right direction D2 with respect to the center line P1 of the garment body 50. There are no restrictions on the positions and number of the second openings 52.

[0035] The number and arrangement of the dot buttons 44 on the garment main body 50 correspond to the number and arrangement of the dot buttons 44 on the fastening part 40 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the garment body 50 is a vest, but the garment body 50 may have long or short sleeves, or may be pants.

[0037] [4. How to install and remove the fan] Next, a method for attaching and detaching the fan 10 to the perforated upper garment 1 will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram of a method for attaching the locking part to the fan. Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram of a method for attaching the fan to the garment body.

[0038] In the perforated top 1 of this embodiment, the locking portion 40 is attached to the fan 10, and then the fan 10 can be attached to the clothing main body 50 by engaging the dot button 44 on the locking portion 40 with the dot button 44 on the clothing main body 50.

[0039] 4, while the tubular portion 26 is inserted into the first opening 42 of the locking portion 40, the first threaded portion 24 of the fan main body 12 is screwed into the second threaded portion 30 of the mounting portion 14. As a result, the locking portion 40 is sandwiched between the first flange 18 of the fan main body 12 and the second flange 28 of the mounting portion 14.

[0040] 5, the dot button 44 on the locking part 40 attached to the fan 10 is engaged with the dot button 44 on the clothing main body 50. This allows the fan 10 to be attached to the clothing main body 50.

[0041] As described above, in the perforated top 1 according to this embodiment, the fan 10 can be easily attached to the garment body 50. Furthermore, since the dot buttons 44 are used to attach the fan 10, positioning is easy and the fan 10 can be attached to the same position on the garment body 50 every time. [Industrial Applicability]

[0042] According to the present invention, a perforated jacket is obtained to which a fan can be easily attached and detached. [Explanation of symbols]
