[0009] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a front view of a vest 100 with its front body closed.
[0010] The vest 100 is worn around the torso of the human body 9 to cool the human body 9. The vest 100 is an example of clothing. Clothing is a covering that covers at least a portion of the human body 9. Clothing includes not only clothing such as a vest, but also, for example, headgear, footwear, gloves, etc. Below, the vest 100 will be described using the direction of the human body 9 on which the vest 100 is worn. That is, the front of the human body 9 on which the vest 100 is worn will be referred to as "front." The same applies to "back," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom."
[0011] FIG. 2 is a front view of the vest 100 with the front open. The vest 100 comprises a main garment 2, a cooling device 3 disposed inside the main garment 2, and a hook-and-loop fastener 4 disposed between the main garment 2 and the cooling device 3. The hook-and-loop fastener 4 detachably connects the main garment 2 and the cooling device 3. That is, in the vest 100, the cooling device 3 is detachably attached to the inside of the main garment 2 by the hook-and-loop fastener 4. When the vest 100 is worn on a human body 9, the cooling device 3 comes into direct contact with the human body 9 or underwear or the like worn by the human body 9. This allows the human body 9 to be cooled efficiently.
[0012] FIG. 3 is a front view of the garment body 2 with the front body 21 open. FIG. 3 shows the vest 100 with the cooling device 3 removed. The garment body 2 is made of cotton, linen, synthetic fiber, or other fabric. The garment body 2 includes a front body 21, a back body 22, and a fastener 23 attached to the front body 21. The front body 21 includes a right front body 21r located on the right side and a left front body 21l located on the left side. The fastener 23 detachably connects the right front body 21r and the left front body 21l. This allows the front body 21 to be opened and closed using the fastener 23.
[0013] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the cooling device 3. The cooling device 3 cools the human body 9. In this example, the cooling device 3 includes a first cooling device 31, a second cooling device 32, and a third cooling device 33. In other words, the cooling device 3 is divided into three parts. As shown in FIG. 2, the first cooling device 31 is detachably attached to the inside of the right front body part 21r. The second cooling device 32 is detachably attached to the inside of the left front body part 21l. The third cooling device 33 is detachably attached to the inside of the back body part 22. Hereinafter, when there is no need to distinguish between the first cooling device 31, the second cooling device 32, and the third cooling device 33, they will be simply referred to as "cooling device 3."
[0014] The cooling tool 3 is plate-shaped. In this example, the cooling tool 3 is rectangular. The cooling tool 3 is flexible and can be curved or bent. As shown in FIG. 4, the cooling tool 3 has a longitudinal direction, a lateral direction, and a thickness direction that is perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction. In this example, the longitudinal direction is approximately perpendicular to the lateral direction.
[0015] Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the vest 100 taken along line VV in Fig. 2. The cooling device 3 is exposed on the inside of the main garment body 2. In other words, when the vest 100 is worn on a human body 9 (see Fig. 1), the cooling device 3 is exposed on the side of the main garment body 2 facing the human body 9. The cooling device 3 has ice packs 5 and an outer pack 6 that contains the ice packs 5. For ease of explanation, the ice packs 5 are indicated by dots in Fig. 5.
[0016] The ice pack 5 is a PCM (Phase Change Material) that absorbs heat and changes from a solid phase to a liquid phase. The ice pack 5 includes, for example, an aliphatic hydrocarbon. The aliphatic hydrocarbon is, for example, paraffin or a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon. The ice pack 5 contains, as the aliphatic hydrocarbon, tetradecane (C 14 H 30 ), hexadecane (C 16 H 34 ) and octadecane (C 18 H 38 ) The ice pack 5 may contain only one or two of tetradecane, hexadecane, and octadecane, or may contain all of them. In addition to aliphatic hydrocarbons, the ice pack 5 may further contain a super absorbent polymer (SAP), water, aroma, graphite, organic matter, minerals, etc. The melting point of the ice pack 5 is, for example, room temperature. The melting point of the ice pack 5 is preferably 5°C or higher and 35°C or lower, and more preferably 15°C or higher and 35°C or lower. When in the solid phase or liquid phase, the ice pack 5 absorbs the heat of the human body as sensible heat. When changing from the solid phase to the liquid phase, the ice pack 5 absorbs the heat of the human body as latent heat, specifically, heat of fusion.
[0017] The exterior pack 6 is flexible and is made of one or a mixture of resins such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), nylon, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP). In this example, the exterior pack 6 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane.
[0018] More specifically, the outer pack 6 includes a plurality of storage sections 61 that individually store ice packs 5, and partition sections 62 that divide the internal space into the plurality of storage sections 61. Each of the plurality of storage sections 61 is sealed. That is, the ice packs 5 are individually stored in each storage section 61.
[0019] The outer pack 6 is formed by overlapping and joining two sheets. Specifically, the outer pack 6 is formed by joining a first sheet 71 and a second sheet 72 that face each other in the thickness direction. The sheet that faces the clothing body 2 is the first sheet 71, and the sheet that faces the human body 9 when the vest 100 is worn on the human body 9 is the second sheet 72.
[0020] In this example, the first sheet 71 is flat. Meanwhile, the second sheet 72 has multiple recesses 72a recessed away from the first sheet 71. Each recess 72a is blocked by the first sheet 71. The first sheet 71 and the second sheet 72 are joined together so that each recess 72a is sealed by the first sheet 71. Specifically, the portion of the second sheet 72 excluding the recesses 72a, i.e., the outer periphery of the second sheet 72 and the portion between adjacent recesses 72a, are joined to the first sheet 71. The joining of the first sheet 71 and the second sheet 72 is achieved, for example, by thermal welding. Note that in FIG. 5, the boundaries of the joined portions in the outer pack 6 are indicated by solid lines, but in reality, the boundaries of the joined portions do not need to be clearly visible. The storage section 61 is formed by the recesses 72a and the first sheet 71. The partition 62 is formed by joining the first sheet 71 and a portion of the second sheet 72 between adjacent recesses 72a.
[0021] 6 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 4. In this example, each of the multiple storage sections 61 has a generally rectangular shape with rounded corners. The multiple storage sections 61 are arranged in both the short and long directions so that the short sides are generally parallel to the short direction and the long sides are generally parallel to the long direction. When the vest 100 is in use, the multiple storage sections 61 come into direct contact with the human body 9 or underwear worn by the human body 9, thereby cooling the human body 9.
[0022] In this example, the exterior pack 6 further has a plurality of ventilation holes 63 penetrating the thickness direction of the exterior pack 6. The plurality of ventilation holes 63 are formed in the partition section 62. Each ventilation hole 63 is disposed between two adjacent storage sections 61 in the longitudinal direction with respect to the longitudinal position, and is also disposed between two adjacent storage sections 61 in the lateral direction with respect to the lateral position.
[0023] 5, the hook and loop fastener 4 includes a first hook and loop fastener 41 attached to the inside of the garment body 2 and a second hook and loop fastener 42 attached to the outer pack 6. The first hook and loop fastener 41 engages with the second hook and loop fastener 42. The first hook and loop fastener 41 is either a male or female type, and the second hook and loop fastener 42 is the other type, either a male or female type. The hook and loop fastener 4 is made of, for example, nylon.
[0024] As shown in Fig. 3, in this example, a plurality of first surface fasteners 41 are attached to the garment main body 2. Each first surface fastener 41 is, for example, sewn to the garment main body 2. Each first surface fastener 41 is arranged in a predetermined position on each of the right front body piece 21r, the left front body piece 21l, and the back body piece 22. More specifically, each first surface fastener 41 is arranged in a position corresponding to a second surface fastener 42.
[0025] As shown in Fig. 6, in this example, a plurality of second surface fasteners 42 are attached to the outer pack 6. More specifically, the second surface fasteners 42 are attached to a first sheet 71 (see Fig. 5) of the outer pack 6. The second surface fasteners 42 do not overlap the partition section 62 in a plan view, that is, when viewed from the thickness direction of the cooling device 3. In other words, in this example, the second surface fasteners 42 are arranged inside the outer peripheral edge of the storage section 61 in a plan view.
[0026] 5, the attachment sheet 8 is disposed between the exterior pack 6 and the second surface fastener 42. The second surface fastener 42 is attached to the exterior pack 6 via the attachment sheet 8. Specifically, the attachment sheet 8 is attached to the first sheet 71 by, for example, heat welding. The second surface fastener 42 is attached to the attachment sheet 8 by, for example, heat welding, sewing, or the like.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 6 , in this example, the mounting sheet 8 has a generally rectangular shape with rounded corners. The mounting sheet 8 is contained within the storage section 61 in a plan view. In other words, the mounting sheet 8 is arranged inside the outer periphery of the storage section 61 in a plan view. The second surface fastener 42 is contained within the mounting sheet 8 in a plan view. In other words, the second surface fastener 42 is arranged inside the outer periphery of the mounting sheet 8 in a plan view. In this example, the planar area of the second surface fastener 42 is smaller than the planar area of the mounting sheet 8. In other words, at least a portion of the periphery of the mounting sheet 8 does not overlap with the second surface fastener 42.
[0028] 4, in this example, the second surface fasteners 42 are arranged in some of the multiple storage sections 61. More specifically, the second surface fasteners 42 are arranged in every other storage section 61 among the multiple storage sections 61 lined up in the longitudinal direction.
[0029] In this example, the elastic modulus of the mounting sheet 8 is greater than that of the outer pack 6. That is, the mounting sheet 8 has less stretchability than the outer pack 6. The elastic modulus of the second hook-and-loop fastener 42 is greater than that of the outer pack 6. That is, the second hook-and-loop fastener 42 has less stretchability than the outer pack 6. The elastic modulus may be evaluated, for example, by tensile elongation measured in a tensile test. The tensile elongation is measured, for example, in accordance with ASTM D638. The mounting sheet 8 is formed, for example, from polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
[0030] Next, an example of a method for manufacturing a cooling device 3 having a second surface fastener 42 attached thereto will be described. First, a flat first sheet 71, a second sheet 72 having a recess 72a, and an attachment sheet 8 are prepared. Next, the second surface fastener 42 is attached to the attachment sheet 8 by, for example, heat welding or sewing. Next, the attachment sheet 8 with the attached second surface fastener 42 is attached to a predetermined position on the first sheet by, for example, heat welding. Next, the second sheet 72 is placed on one of the two sides of the first sheet 71 on which the attachment sheet 8 is not attached, and the outer edges of the first sheet 71 and the second sheet 72 are joined by, for example, heat welding. At this time, the entire outer edges of the first sheet 71 are joined, except for a portion of the outer edge. The portion of the outer edge that is not joined serves as an inlet for injecting the ice pack 5. By joining the first sheet 71 and the second sheet 72, a bag-shaped sheet having an injection port, i.e., a bag-shaped exterior pack 6 including the first sheet 71 and the second sheet 72, is formed. Next, liquid-phase ice pack 5 is injected into the exterior pack 6 through the injection port. The injected ice pack 5 flows into each of the recesses 72a. Next, the unjoined portion of the overlapping portion of the first sheet 71 and the second sheet 72, i.e., the portion of the exterior pack 6 between the injection port and two adjacent recesses 72a, is joined by, for example, thermal welding. By joining the portion between two adjacent recesses 72a, a partition portion 62 is formed. Next, a vent hole 63 is formed in the partition portion 62. In this manner, the cooling device 3 to which the second surface fastener 42 is attached is manufactured.
[0031] Next, an example of how to use the vest 100 will be described. Before use, the cooling device 3 is removed from the main garment body 2 and left at room temperature, for example. This causes the ice packs 5 to become solid. The cooling device 3 may also be cooled in a refrigerator or the like before use.
[0032] The user attaches the first cooling device 31 to the inside of the right front body section 21r by engaging the first hook-and-loop fastener 41 with the second hook-and-loop fastener 42. Similarly, the user attaches the second cooling device 32 to the inside of the left front body section 21l, and the third cooling device 33 to the inside of the back body section 22. When the user wears the vest 100 with the cooling device 3 attached, heat from the torso is absorbed by the ice pack 5 via the outer pack 6, cooling the torso. As the ice pack 5 absorbs the heat from the torso, it melts and changes to a liquid phase. In this case, the ice pack 5 absorbs heat from the torso using not only sensible heat but also latent heat, so the torso is cooled efficiently. Furthermore, if the ice pack 5 becomes liquid during use, the user can change the ice pack 5 to a solid phase and return it to a cooling state by leaving the cooling device 3 in a room temperature environment.
[0033] In such a vest 100, the cooling device 3 is detachably attached to the inside of the main clothing body 2, and is exposed on the inside of the main clothing body 2. As a result, when the vest 100 is worn on the human body 9, the cooling device 3 can come into direct contact with the human body 9 or underwear worn by the human body 9. As a result, the cooling performance of the vest 100, which has a detachable cooling device 3, can be improved. If the main clothing body were a vest with a storage bag into which the cooling device could be put and removed, there is a risk that the storage bag or the like would impede the cooling performance of the cooling device.
[0034] Furthermore, the second surface fastener 42 is attached to the exterior pack 6 via the attachment sheet 8. As a result, even if the attachment strength is low when the second surface fastener 42 is attached directly to the exterior pack 6, by interposing the attachment sheet 8, which has a high attachment strength to both the exterior pack 6 and the second surface fastener 42, between the exterior pack 6 and the second surface fastener 42, the second surface fastener 42 can be firmly attached to the exterior pack 6.
[0035] In particular, in this example, the second surface fastener 42 is contained within the mounting sheet 8 in plan view. This allows, for example, the peripheral edge of the mounting sheet 8 to be exposed from the second surface fastener 42. As a result, this peripheral edge can be used as the portion of the mounting sheet 8 that is attached to the outer pack 6, making it easy to perform, for example, heat welding.
[0036] Furthermore, the elastic modulus of the attachment sheet 8 is greater than that of the outer pack 6. This limits the amount of expansion and contraction of the outer pack 6 even when the outer pack 6 expands and contracts. As a result, the possibility that the second surface fastener 42 will peel off from the outer pack 6 can be reduced.
[0037] Furthermore, because the second surface fasteners 42 do not overlap the partition portions 62 in plan view, it is possible to easily form the partition portions 62. More specifically, as described above, the partition portions 62 are formed by, for example, heat welding the first sheet 71 and the second sheet 72 together, so by ensuring that the second surface fasteners 42 do not overlap the partition portions 62 in plan view, it is possible to easily press the partition portions 62 when heat welding them. If the second surface fasteners 42 overlap the partition portions 62 in plan view, the presence of the second surface fasteners 42 could make pressing difficult.
[0038] Furthermore, the second surface fastener 42 is attached to the first sheet 71 of the outer pack 6. In this example, the first sheet 71 is flat, which makes it easier to attach the second surface fastener 42 to the first sheet 71 than when the first sheet 71 has an uneven surface, for example.
[0039] Other Embodiments As described above, the above embodiment has been described as an example of the technology disclosed in this application. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this and can be applied to embodiments in which modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions, etc. are made as appropriate. Furthermore, the components described in the above embodiment can be combined to create new embodiments. Furthermore, the components described in the accompanying drawings and detailed description may include not only components essential for solving the problem, but also components that are not essential for solving the problem in order to exemplify the technology. Therefore, the fact that these non-essential components are described in the accompanying drawings or detailed description should not be interpreted as immediately determining that these non-essential components are essential.
[0040] For example, the clothing of the present disclosure is not limited to a vest, but may be clothing other than a vest, as well as headgear, footwear, gloves, etc.
[0041] The shape of the cooling tool 3 is not limited. For example, the shape of the cooling tool 3 may be a polygon other than a rectangle, or may have a curved outer shape. In the above embodiment, the cooling tool 3 is divided into three parts, but the number of divisions is not limited, and it may not even be divided. The shape, arrangement, number, etc. of the storage sections 61 are also not limited.
[0042] The shape of the outer pack 6 is not limited. For example, the first sheet 71 does not have to be flat. The first sheet 71 may have a plurality of recesses formed therein that are recessed in the opposite direction from the second sheet 72. In this case, the partition 62 may be formed by joining a portion between adjacent recesses 72a of the second sheet 72 and a portion between adjacent recesses of the first sheet 71.
[0043] The multiple first surface fasteners 41 are not limited to the configuration described above. For example, the multiple first surface fasteners 41 attached to the back body piece 22 may be aligned in the left-right direction and connected to one another to form an integrated unit. That is, in the back body piece 22, three first surface fasteners 41 extending in the left-right direction may be aligned in the up-down direction. The same applies to the right front body piece 21r and the left front body piece 21l.
[0044] The second surface fastener 42 may be attached directly to the outer pack 6 without using the mounting sheet 8. The second surface fastener 42 does not have to be contained within the mounting sheet 8 in plan view. The second surface fastener 42 may overlap the partition portion 62 in plan view.
[0045] There are no limitations on the shape, arrangement, number, etc. of the mounting sheet 8. For example, the mounting sheet 8 may be arranged across the storage section 61 and the partition section 62. The elastic modulus of the mounting sheet 8 may be approximately the same as the elastic modulus of the outer pack, or may be smaller than the elastic modulus of the outer pack.
[0046] [Aspect] The above embodiments are specific examples of the following aspects.
[0047] (Aspect 1) The vest 100 (clothing) is a vest 100 that covers at least a part of a human body 9, and comprises a clothing main body 2, a plate-shaped cooling device 3 that is arranged inside the clothing main body 2 and cools the human body 9, and a hook-and-loop fastener 4 that is arranged between the clothing main body 2 and the cooling device 3 and removably connects the clothing main body 2 and the cooling device 3, and the cooling device 3 is exposed inside the clothing main body 2.
[0048] According to this configuration, the cooling device 3 is detachably attached to the inside of the main clothing body 2, and is exposed on the inside of the main clothing body 2. As a result, when the vest 100 is worn on the human body 9, the cooling device 3 can come into direct contact with the human body 9 or underwear worn by the human body 9. As a result, the cooling performance of the vest 100, which has a detachable cooling device 3, can be improved. If the main clothing body were a vest with a storage bag into which the cooling device could be put and removed, there is a risk that the storage bag or the like could impede the cooling performance of the cooling device.
[0049] (Aspect 2) In the vest 100 described in aspect 1, the cooling device 3 has an ice pack 5 and an outer pack 6 that contains the ice pack 5, and the hook-and-loop fastener 4 includes a first hook-and-loop fastener 41 attached to the inside of the clothing body 2 and a second hook-and-loop fastener 42 attached to the outer pack 6 and engaging with the first hook-and-loop fastener 41.
[0050] According to this configuration, the cooling device 3 is detachably attached to the inside of the clothing main body 2, and a configuration in which the cooling device 3 is exposed inside the clothing main body 2 can be realized.
[0051] (Aspect 3) The vest 100 described in aspect 1 or 2 further includes an attachment sheet 8 arranged between the outer pack 6 and the second hook-and-loop fastener 42, and the second hook-and-loop fastener 42 is attached to the outer pack 6 via the attachment sheet 8.
[0052] According to this configuration, even if the attachment strength is low when the second surface fastener 42 is attached directly to the exterior pack 6, the second surface fastener 42 can be firmly attached to the exterior pack 6 by interposing an attachment sheet 8, which has high attachment strength to both the exterior pack 6 and the second surface fastener 42, between the exterior pack 6 and the second surface fastener 42.
[0053] (Aspect 4) In the vest 100 according to any one of aspects 1 to 3, the second surface fastener 42 is contained within the attachment sheet 8 in plan view.
[0054] With this configuration, for example, the peripheral edge of the mounting sheet 8 can be exposed from the second surface fastener 42. As a result, this peripheral edge can be used as the portion of the mounting sheet 8 that is attached to the outer pack 6, facilitating, for example, heat welding.
[0055] (Aspect 5) In the vest 100 according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the elastic modulus of the attachment sheet 8 is greater than the elastic modulus of the outer pack 6 .
[0056] According to this configuration, even if the outer pack 6 expands or contracts, the amount of expansion or contraction of the outer pack 6 is suppressed. As a result, the possibility that the second surface fastener 42 will be peeled off from the outer pack 6 can be reduced.
[0057] (Aspect 6) In the vest 100 described in any one of aspects 1 to 5, the outer pack 6 includes a plurality of storage sections 61 that individually store the ice packs 5, and a partition section 62 that divides the internal space into the plurality of storage sections 61, and the second hook-and-loop fastener 42 does not overlap the partition section 62 in a planar view.
[0058] This configuration makes it easier to form the partition portion 62. More specifically, since the partition portion 62 is formed by, for example, heat welding a part of the outer package 6, by ensuring that the second surface fastener 42 does not overlap the partition portion 62 in a plan view, the partition portion 62 can be easily pressed when heat welding is performed. If the second surface fastener 42 overlaps the partition portion 62 in a plan view, the presence of the second surface fastener 42 may make it difficult to press.
[0059] (Aspect 7) In the vest 100 described in any one of aspects 1 to 6, the outer pack 6 has a flat first sheet 71 and a second sheet 72 opposite the first sheet 71, and the second hook-and-loop fastener 42 is attached to the first sheet 71.
[0060] According to this configuration, because first sheet 71 is flat, second surface fastener 42 can be attached to first sheet 71 more easily than when first sheet 71 has an uneven surface, for example. [Explanation of symbols]
