[0013] A fan-equipped garment body and fan-equipped garment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1A to 2B. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples. In the following description, the state in which the wearer is wearing the fan-equipped wear 100 will be used as a reference, and the front side of the wearer will be defined as "front," the back side of the wearer as "back," the upper side of the wearer as "up," the lower side of the wearer as "down," the right hand side of the wearer as "right," and the left hand side of the wearer as "left."

[0014] [Configuration of the embodiment] 1A, the fan-equipped wear 100 according to the embodiment comprises a garment body 1, a fan 2 that introduces air into the garment body 1, a power supply unit 3 that supplies power to the fan 2, and a connection cable 4 that connects the power supply unit 3 to the fan 2. The air taken into the garment body 1 by the fan 2 is circulated along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear, evaporating sweat from the body and cooling the body with the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation.

[0015] [Wear body] The garment body 1 is formed into a shape that covers the torso and arms of the wearer and is made of fabric C that is either non-breathable or breathable enough to be inflated by the introduction of air by a fan 2. As shown in Figures 1A and 1B, the garment includes, for example, opening and closing means 11, air leakage prevention means 12, mounting holes 13, an air exhaust section 14, power supply unit holding means 15, cable holding means 16, and crotch section 17.

[0016] (Opening and closing means, air leakage prevention means) The opening / closing means 11 is a detachable divided section formed with a linear fastener or the like on the front body of the garment body 1, and allows the front part of the garment body 1 to be opened and closed. The air leakage prevention means 12 is formed by providing a stretchable member such as an elastic cord around the wearer's body at the hem of the garment body 1. This prevents air in the space between the garment body 1 and the wearer's body from leaking out through the hem of the garment body 1.

[0017] (mounting holes) The attachment holes 13 are circular holes provided in the back of the garment body 1 at positions corresponding to the left and right of the wearer's waist. When wearing the fan-equipped garment 100, the fan 2 is detachably attached so that it passes through the attachment holes 13, allowing outside air to be drawn in between the garment body 1 and the body through the attachment holes 13.

[0018] The positions where the attachment holes 13 are formed are not limited to the positions described above. For example, they may be formed on the side or front of the garment body 1. Furthermore, the number of mounting holes 13 in one garment body 1 is not limited to two. It is also possible to form fewer or more mounting holes 13 than two and attach a corresponding number of fans 2 thereto. It is also preferable that the area around the attachment hole 13 is reinforced. Specifically, for example, a flat annular member made of plastic or the like may be attached, or the area around the attachment hole 13 of the fabric C forming the garment body 1 may be folded back and sewn.

[0019] (Air exhaust section) The air discharge sections 14 are openings for discharging air introduced into the space between the garment body 1 and the wearer's body by the fan 2 after circulating it along the wearer's body or underwear. Specifically, the air discharge sections 14 are formed in the opening between the wearer's neck and the edge of the collar of the garment body 1, and in the opening between the wearer's arm and the edge of the sleeve of the garment body 1.

[0020] (Power supply unit holding means, cable holding means) The power supply unit holding means 15 is a pocket-shaped holding means formed on the inner surface of the garment body 1 to hold the power supply unit 3 in a position where it can supply power to the fan 2 . The cable holding means 16 is a ring-shaped holding means formed to have an opening through which the connection cable 4 can be inserted, in order to hold the connection cable 4 on the inner surface side of the garment body 1 .

[0021] (Kusube) The crotch portion 17 is provided to cover the attachment hole 13, is adjustable in the thickness direction (front-to-back direction) of the garment body 1, and is a member for spacing the fan 2 away from the wearer's body. Specifically, the crotch portion 17 includes a horizontal crotch portion 171 provided above the attachment hole 13 so as to extend in the left-right direction, and a vertical crotch portion 172 provided on at least one side of the attachment hole 13 so as to extend in the up-down direction.

[0022] The maximum length of the crotch width of the crotch portion 17 (i.e., the thickness in the front-to-back direction) is not limited, but is preferably equal to or less than the thickness of the fan 2, and more preferably equal to the thickness of the fan 2. If the maximum length of the crotch width of the crotch portion 17 is longer than the thickness of the fan 2, it will be difficult for the air taken in by the fan 2 to flow along the wearer's body, and the crotch portion 17 will be more noticeable in appearance. However, because the attachment position of the fan 2 relative to the crotch portion 17 can be selected as appropriate, the crotch width of the crotch portion 17 is not limited to this and can be set as appropriate.

[0023] 1B, the crotch section 17 is preferably a bamboo crotch with one end fixed to the garment body 1, with the side ends of the horizontal crotch sections 171 fixed and the lower ends of the vertical crotch sections 172 fixed. This is because, when the garment body 1 is worn, ease of movement of the wearer can be achieved while ensuring an airflow path within the garment body 1. Furthermore, when the crotch section 17 opens in the thickness direction, the fan 2 tilts upward toward the back, making it easier for the air taken in by the fan 2 to flow toward the opening between the wearer's neck and the collar end of the garment body 1, which is the air discharge section 14.

[0024] 1A and 1B, it is preferable that the vertical crotch portions 172 extend to the bottom hem of the garment body 1 (the air leakage prevention means 12 in this embodiment). This is because the fan 2 can be spaced sufficiently away from the wearer's body even if the vertical crotch portions 172 are only slightly open.

[0025] 〔fan〕 As shown in Figures 1A and 1B, the fan 2 is attached to the garment body 1 by passing through the mounting hole 13, and is a device for introducing air through the mounting hole 13 into a specified space between the garment body 1 and the wearer's body, and the necessary power is supplied from the power supply unit 3 via a connection cable 4. The fan 2 is attached to the garment body 1 so as to pass through the attachment hole 13, and any configuration can be adopted as long as it can introduce air into the garment body 1.

[0026] [Power supply section] The power supply unit 3 is a device for supplying power to the fan 2, and includes, for example, a built-in lithium-ion battery pack with a safety protection circuit added thereto, and is connected to the fan 2 via a connection cable 4. The power supply unit 3 may have any specific configuration as long as it can supply power to the fan 2.

[0027] [Connection cable] The connection cable 4 is a cable that connects the power supply unit 3 and the fan 2. The power necessary for operating the fan 2 is supplied from the power supply unit 3 to the fan 2 via the connection cable 4. The connection cable 4 may have any specific configuration as long as it can supply the power required to operate the fan 2 from the power supply unit 3 to the fan 2. It is also possible to configure the fan 2 to be directly connected to the power supply unit 3 without providing the connection cable 4. It is also possible to integrate the fan 2 and the power supply unit 3.

[0028] [Effects of the embodiment] In the fan-equipped garment 100 described above, gusset portions 17 are provided to cover the attachment holes 13, allowing adjustment of the thickness of the garment body 1. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 2A, gusset portions 17 are closed when the fan 2 is removed or not operating, but when the fan 2 is operated, the air taken in by the fan 2 causes the gusset portions 17 to open in the thickness direction, as shown in Fig. 2B. Therefore, even if the wearer takes a position that stretches the garment body 1, such as raising their hands or leaning forward, a certain amount of space is formed between the fan 2 and the wearer's body by the amount that the crotch portion 17 opens in the thickness direction, allowing the same amount of air to be taken in as when the garment body 1 is bent.

[0029] Furthermore, in conventional fan-equipped clothing, when the clothing itself stretches, the air leakage prevention means, which is attached to the hem of the clothing itself and is made of an elastic material, can sometimes slide up to the vicinity of the abdomen, making it difficult to return it to its original height. However, in the fan-equipped wear 100 according to this embodiment, the crotch 17 opens, creating a certain amount of space between the wearer's body and the crotch 17, thereby increasing the range of motion. As a result, even when the wearer assumes a position that stretches the garment body 1, the air leakage prevention means 12 is less likely to slip up, reducing the effort required to return it to its original height.

[0030] [Variations] In each drawing, the side sides of the horizontal crotch portions 171, which are crotch members, are fixed to the garment body 1, and the lower sides of the vertical crotch portions 172 are fixed to the garment body 1. However, this is not limiting. For example, the horizontal crotch portions 171 may be fixed at the back side to the garment body 1, and the upper sides of the vertical crotch portions 172 may be fixed to the garment body 1. Furthermore, the crotch portion 17 is not limited to a so-called bamboo crotch portion, one end of which is fixed to the garment body 1, but may be a so-called through crotch portion, which has crotches at both ends.

[0031] 1B illustrates a case in which the two vertical gussets 172, 172 are both provided only on the back side, but this is not limited to this. For example, they may be provided on the sides, or on both the back side and the sides. In particular, providing the vertical gussets 172 on both the back side and the sides makes it easier for the fan 2 to separate from the wearer's body.

[0032] Of course, other specific details of the structure can be changed as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
