Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a disaster response backpack that can be used not only in normal times but also in times of disaster. [Background technology]

[0002] When a natural disaster occurs, rescue operations are carried out by fire departments, local governments, police, etc., but there are limits to what they can do. Therefore, when rescue operations are chaotic, it is important to have an awareness of self-rescue, that is, self-help, which is protecting yourself. In order to raise awareness of self-rescue, it is necessary to develop products that can be used as everyday items in normal times, but can also be used in disasters, and that are easy for the general public to pick up and take an interest in.

[0003] Note that, in the past, products have been developed that have the functionality of a backpack as a life jacket (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This backpack uses a waterproof material, allowing the interior of the backpack to be used as an air chamber, making it possible to use it as a life jacket. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3208233 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, this backpack is only suitable for use in water emergencies and is not suitable for a wide range of natural disasters. In addition, to make it waterproof, it uses materials different from those used in ordinary backpacks, which makes it expensive and difficult to use as an everyday item.

[0006] The present invention was made in response to these problems, and aims to provide a disaster response backpack that can be used as a backpack or pillow under normal circumstances, and can also be used as a rough jacket or cold weather clothing in an emergency. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The disaster response backpack of the present invention has a pair of shoulder straps on the back side of the backpack body, which has a storage space inside, and has an upper opening / closing section that is openable and closable at the top of the backpack body and can be used to pass the head through when open, a pair of side opening / closing sections that are openable and closable at the top of both sides of the backpack body and can be used to pass both arms through when open, and a bottom opening / closing section that is openable and closable at the bottom of the backpack body and can be used to pass the torso through when open.The backpack can be worn by placing the torso in the storage space of the backpack body, opening the upper opening / closing section to expose the head, opening the pair of side opening / closing sections to expose both arms, and opening the bottom opening / closing section to expose the lower body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, an upper opening / closing section is provided at the top of the backpack body, which can be opened and closed, a pair of side opening / closing sections are provided at the top of both sides of the backpack body, which can be opened and closed, respectively, and a bottom opening / closing section is provided at the bottom of the backpack body, which can be opened and closed, and a person can put their torso through the top opening / closing section, their arms through the pair of side opening / closing sections, and their lower body through the bottom opening / closing section. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the backpack can be used as a backpack or a pillow or the like to store emergency items in preparation for a disaster at night, and in an emergency such as a disaster, it can also be used as a life jacket or cold weather gear by opening the top opening / closing section, the pair of side opening / closing sections, and the bottom opening / closing section.

[0009] Furthermore, if the bottom opening / closing section and the backpack main body are connected at least partially on the back side and can be opened and closed on both sides and the front side using a bottom opening / closing member, and detachable connecting members are provided on the undersides of the pair of left and right shoulder straps, respectively, and shoulder strap connecting members that connect the detachable connecting members to the bottom opening / closing section are provided, the bottom opening / closing section can be opened and folded toward the back, and the detachable connecting members can be connected to the shoulder strap connecting members, so that when the backpack main body is worn, it can be used as a backpack. Therefore, in an emergency such as a disaster, it can be worn as cold weather clothing, and at the same time, it can be used to carry luggage during evacuation, leaving both hands free.

[0010] Furthermore, if the backpack is equipped with an inner bag that can be stored inside the backpack body, for example, by placing items to be taken with in an emergency in the inner bag, in an emergency, the backpack body can be quickly put on and the items to be taken with can be quickly prepared by simply removing the inner bag from the backpack body. Also, by folding the bottom opening part toward the back to make it a backpack, and placing and attaching the inner bag on top of the bottom opening part, it can be easily carried.

[0011] In addition, if a front storage pocket is provided on the front of the backpack body, it can be used as a float by placing an empty plastic bottle or the like in the front storage pocket. Therefore, in the event of a water emergency, wearing the backpack body and placing an empty plastic bottle or the like in the front storage pocket will cause the front to float, making it easy to maintain a supine position.

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0014] 1 to 5 show a disaster response backpack 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention as seen from the front, side, back, top, and bottom, respectively. FIG. 6 shows the disaster response backpack 10 being worn. FIG. 7 shows the disaster response backpack 10 being used as a backpack. This disaster response backpack 10 can be used, for example, as a backpack or pillow in normal times, and can also be used as a rough jacket or cold weather clothing in an emergency.

[0015] The disaster response backpack 10 includes a backpack main body 11 having an internal storage space, and a pair of left and right shoulder strap members 12 are provided on the back side of the backpack main body 11. Note that the shoulder strap members 12 are omitted from illustration in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5. A detachable connecting member 12A is provided on the underside of each of the pair of left and right shoulder strap members 12, which detachably connects the shoulder strap members 12 to the backpack main body 11. Note that the detachable connecting member 12A can also be detachably connected to a bottom opening / closing member, which will be described later. The backpack main body 11 is provided with a pair of shoulder strap member connecting portions 11A, which connect the detachable connecting members 12A, for example, on both sides of the back part of the bottom side, on the back sides of both sides of the bottom side, or between the back part and both sides of the bottom side.

[0016] Disaster response backpack 10 also has an upper opening / closing section 13 that is openably mounted on the top of backpack body 10 and that can accommodate a person's head when open, a pair of side opening / closing sections 14 that are openably mounted on the upper sides of backpack body 11 and that can accommodate a person's arms when open, and a bottom opening / closing section 15 that is openably mounted on the bottom of backpack body 11 and that can accommodate a person's torso when open. This allows disaster response backpack 10 to be worn by placing the torso in the storage space of backpack body 11, opening upper opening / closing section 13 to expose the head, opening side opening / closing sections 14 to expose the arms, and opening bottom opening / closing section 15 to expose the lower half of the body.

[0017] The upper opening / closing section 13 is sized to allow a person's head to pass through it when it is open. The size of the upper opening / closing section 13 is preferably, for example, within a range of 10 cm to 20 cm in the front-to-back direction and 10 cm to 20 cm in the width direction. If the size is too small, it is difficult to pass the head through, while if the size is too large, a large gap will form when worn, reducing its functionality as winter clothing. The front-to-back length and width direction of the upper opening / closing section 13 refer to the length passing through the center of the upper opening / closing section 13. The upper opening / closing section 13 can be opened and closed relative to the backpack body 11 by an upper opening / closing member 13A, such as a zipper. The upper opening / closing section 13 and the backpack body 11 are connected, for example, at least partially on the front side, and can be opened and closed by the upper opening / closing member 13A on both sides and the back side. The upper opening / closing member 13A is preferably made of a rust-resistant material, such as plastic.

[0018] Each side opening / closing section 14 is sized to allow a person's arms to pass through it when open. The size of each side opening / closing section 14 is preferably, for example, within a range of 10 cm to 20 cm in the front-to-back direction and 10 cm to 25 cm in the up-to-down direction. If the size is too small, it will be difficult to pass the arms through, while if the size is too large, there will be large gaps when worn, reducing its functionality as winter clothing. The front-to-back length and up-to-down length of each side opening / closing section 14 refer to the length passing through the center of each side opening / closing section 14. Each side opening / closing section 14 can be opened and closed relative to the backpack body 11 by a side opening / closing member 14A such as a zipper. Each side opening / closing section 14 and the backpack body 11 are connected, for example, at least partially on the upper side, and can be opened and closed by the side opening / closing member 14A on the front, lower, and back sides. The side opening / closing member 14A is preferably made of a material that is resistant to rust, such as plastic.

[0019] Each side opening / closing section 14 is preferably provided with a side storage pocket 14B, for example. This is because valuables such as medicines and smartphones can be easily stored and removed when the backpack body 11 is worn. The opening of the side storage pocket 14B is preferably openable and closable by a side storage pocket opening / closing member 14C, such as a zipper. The side storage pocket opening / closing member 14C is preferably made of a rust-resistant material, such as plastic.

[0020] The bottom opening / closing section 15 is sized to allow a person's torso to pass through when open. The size of the bottom opening / closing section 15 is preferably, for example, such that the front-to-back length of the bottom opening / closing section 15 is between 10 cm and 40 cm, and the widthwise length of the bottom opening / closing section 15 is between 20 cm and 50 cm. If the size is too small, it will be difficult to pass the torso through, while if the size is too large, the backpack body 10 will be too large and difficult to handle. Note that the front-to-back length and widthwise length of the bottom opening / closing section 15 refer to the length passing through the center of the bottom opening / closing section 15. The bottom opening / closing section 15 can be opened and closed relative to the backpack body 11 by a bottom opening / closing member 15A such as a zipper. Each bottom opening / closing section 15 and the backpack body 11 are connected, for example, at least partially on the back side, and can be opened and closed by the bottom opening / closing member 15A on both sides and the front side. The bottom opening / closing member 15A is preferably made of a rust-resistant material such as plastic.

[0021] Furthermore, it is preferable that bottom opening / closing section 15 be provided so that the entire bottom of backpack body 11 can be opened. This is because it makes it easier to put on and take off, and also simplifies the structure. For example, it is preferable to provide bottom opening / closing members 15A on both side surfaces and the front of the bottom of backpack body 11, and, if necessary, on part of the back.

[0022] Preferably, a pair of shoulder strap connectors 15B for connecting the detachable connectors 12A are provided on both sides of the front of the bottom opening / closing section 15. As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, by opening the bottom opening / closing section 15 and folding it toward the back, and then connecting the detachable connectors 12A of the pair of left and right shoulder strap members 12 to the pair of shoulder strap connectors 15B, respectively, the backpack body 11 can be used as a backpack when worn. The pair of shoulder strap connectors 15B are preferably provided so as to be stored inside the backpack body 11 when the bottom opening / closing section 15 is closed, or may be detachable so as not to get in the way when the bottom opening / closing section 15 is closed and used as a backpack.

[0023] It is preferable that a fastening belt 15C for fastening shoes or the like is provided on the inside of the bottom opening / closing part 15 when it is closed. This is to ensure that the fastening belt 15C is always ready to put on, as glass fragments and other debris can be dangerous during evacuation in the event of a major earthquake. The fastening belt 15C is preferably made of a stretchable material such as rubber, and is provided so that shoes can be clamped and fastened between the bottom opening / closing part 15 and the fastening belt 15C.

[0024] Disaster response backpack 10 preferably includes, for example, an inner bag 16 that is stored inside backpack body 11. By including inner bag 16, items can be easily placed in inner bag 16 and stored inside backpack body 11, and can also be easily removed.Furthermore, when bottom opening / closing section 15 is folded toward the back to form a backpack, inner bag 16 can be placed on top of bottom opening / closing section 15 and attached for easy carrying.

[0025] The disaster response backpack 10 preferably has a front storage pocket 17 on the front side of the backpack body 11. This is because, when the backpack body 11 is worn, placing an empty plastic bottle or the like in the front storage pocket 17 can serve as a float. The opening of the front storage pocket 17 is preferably openable and closable by a front storage pocket opening / closing member 17A such as a zipper. The front storage pocket opening / closing member 17A is preferably made of a rust-resistant material such as plastic. In addition, the front storage pocket 17 is preferably provided with one or more reinforcing belts 17B that reinforce the front storage pocket 17 and hold down items stored in the front storage pocket 17.

[0026] The disaster response backpack 10 is also preferably provided with contraction belts 18, for example, on both sides, that can contract the size of the backpack body 10. This is so that the backpack body 10 can be tightened to fit the wearer's body shape when worn. It is preferable to provide multiple contraction belts 18, for example, on each side.

[0027] Disaster response backpack 10 is preferably further provided with fluorescent reflectors 19, for example, in consideration of nighttime evacuations. In addition, the lower front of disaster response backpack 10 may be provided with, for example, belt loops 21 for threading a belt through, or belt connecting members 22 for detachably connecting a belt. For example, to prevent the backpack body 10 from slipping off the wearer's body when wearing the backpack body 10 and entering water, the belt may be threaded through belt loops 21 or attached to belt connecting members 22 and fastened around the crotch.

[0028] According to this embodiment, an upper opening / closing section 13, through which the head can be passed, is openably provided at the top of the backpack body 11, a pair of side opening / closing sections 14, through which both arms can be passed, are openably provided at the upper sides of both sides of the backpack body 11, and a bottom opening / closing section 15, through which the torso can be passed, is openably provided at the bottom of the backpack body 11. Therefore, the torso can be placed in the storage space of the backpack body 11, with the head protruding from the upper opening / closing section 13, the arms protruding from the pair of side opening / closing sections 14, and the lower body protruding from the bottom opening / closing section 15, and then worn. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the backpack can be used as a backpack or a pillow or the like for storing emergency items in preparation for a disaster at night, and in an emergency such as a disaster, the upper opening / closing section 13, the pair of side opening / closing sections 14, and the bottom opening / closing section 15 can be opened to be used as a life jacket or cold weather gear.

[0029] Furthermore, by connecting the bottom opening / closing section 15 and the backpack body 11 at least partially on the back side and allowing them to be opened and closed on both sides and the front side by bottom opening / closing members 15A, and providing detachable connecting members 12A on the undersides of the pair of left and right shoulder strap members 12, respectively, and providing shoulder strap member connecting members 15B that connect the detachable connecting members 12A to the bottom opening / closing section 15, the backpack body 11 can be used as a backpack by opening the bottom opening / closing section 15 and folding it toward the back, and connecting the detachable connecting members 12A to the shoulder strap connecting members 15B. Thus, in an emergency such as a disaster, the backpack body 11 can be worn as cold weather clothing while also being able to carry luggage for evacuation, leaving both hands free.

[0030] Furthermore, if the backpack is provided with an inner bag 16 that can be stored inside the backpack body 11, then, for example, items to be carried in an emergency can be placed in the inner bag 16, and in an emergency, the backpack body can be quickly put on and the items to be carried can be quickly prepared simply by removing the inner bag 16 from the backpack body 11. Also, the backpack can be easily carried by folding the bottom opening / closing part 15 toward the back to make it into a backpack, and then placing and attaching the inner bag 16 on top of the bottom opening / closing part 15.

[0031] Additionally, if a front storage pocket 17A is provided on the front side of the backpack body 11, an empty plastic bottle or the like can be placed in the front storage pocket 17A, which can then be used as a float. Therefore, in the event of a water emergency, by wearing the backpack body 11 and placing an empty plastic bottle or the like in the front storage pocket 17A, the front side will float, making it easy to maintain a supine position.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described above using embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and examples and can be modified in various ways. For example, although each component has been specifically described, it is not necessary to include all of the components, and other components may be included. Furthermore, the specific content of each component may be different. [Explanation of symbols]
