DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1A and 1B are a front view and a back view, respectively, showing the EF wear 1 according to the embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line aa in Fig. 1B. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the EF wear 1 according to this embodiment comprises a long-sleeved, blouson-style garment body 2. The garment body 2 has a torso section 3 that covers the torso of a wearer P and has a front-opening structure using a slide fastener or the like. The torso section 3 is composed of a front body section 4 and a back section 5 consisting of a shoulder yoke 5a and a back body section 5b. The torso section 3 has shoulder sections 6. Long sleeves 8 are sewn into left and right armholes 7 of the torso section 3. A stand-up collar 9 is sewn around the neck of the torso section 3.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1B , the back portion 5 of the torso 3 has attachment holes 10 on both sides of the back body 5b for detachably attaching an electric fan (not shown in FIG. 1B ). The electric fan is configured to sandwich the garment body between a flange of the fan body and a fixing ring, as described in Patent Document 1, for example. The area including the attachment holes 10 supports the electric fan, so an interlining 11, which is harder than the fabric of the garment body 2, is provided to prevent the garment from losing its shape. As shown in FIG. 4 , the interlining 11 is a rectangular fabric part with a hole 11a corresponding to the attachment hole 10, and is sewn to the inside of the back body 5b. In FIG. 1B , the dotted rectangular line surrounding the attachment hole 10 indicates the thread used to sew the interlining 11. While the interlining 11 is sewn, it may also be glued to the back body 5b. Furthermore, the interlining 11 may be made of a resin material in addition to or instead of a fabric material.

[0011] The cuffs of the sleeves 8 and the bottom of the torso 3 are fitted tightly around the wearer's arms and waist with rubber or the like, respectively, to prevent air from leaking out of the garment body 2.

[0012] Additionally, a planar mesh part 12 is provided on the inside of the back section 5 of the torso section 3. In FIG. 1B, the mesh part 12 is not visible externally, but its presence is indicated by a dotted pattern. The mesh part 12 has a shape that matches the shoulder yoke 5a. Specifically, the mesh part 12 has the same shape as the area surrounded by the sewn-up portion 13 of the shoulder section 6 (the sewn-up portion between the front body section 4 and the shoulder yoke 5a), the sewn-up portion 14 of the collar section 9 and the shoulder yoke 5a, the sewn-up portion 15 of the armholes 7 and the sleeve sections 8, and the sewn-up portion 16 of the shoulder yoke 5a and the back body section 5b, and is sewn together with the sewn-up portions 13-16. As shown in FIG. 2, the lateral width of the mesh part 12 is narrower than the lateral width of the shoulder yoke 5a. As a result, when airflow is generated by the electric fan, the back section 5 bulges outward relative to the mesh part 12, ensuring an airflow path. The mesh part 12 corresponds to the third part of the present invention.

[0013] Additionally, a belt-like portion 17 with gussets on both sides is provided in the center of the back portion 5 of the torso portion 3, extending from the lower end of the shoulder yoke 5a, which is midway in the length direction, to the upper end of the collar 9. This allows air to escape from the rear of the collar 9 through the tunnel-like gusseted belt-like portion 17 when an air flow is generated by the electric fan, providing a feeling of coolness around the neck. The presence of the mesh part 12 described above prevents the belt-like portion 17 from adhering closely to the wearer's body, impairing ventilation.

[0014] Here, referring to Figures 3 and 4, we will explain the issues that arise when an electric fan 18 is attached to the back portion 5 of outerwear-type EF wear, and the configuration for resolving these issues. Figure 3 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the EF wear 1 according to the embodiment. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the interlining 11 and the first part 19. Although Figures 3(a) and 3(b) are diagrams for explaining the issues, for ease of explanation, the same components as those in the EF wear 1 according to the embodiment will be described using the same reference numerals.

[0015] As shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), when an electric fan 18 is attached to the back portion 5, the weight of the electric fan 18 may cause the shoulder portion 6 and back portion 5 to adhere to the shoulders and back of the wearer P, hindering the flow of air within the garment body 2 and reducing comfort.

[0016] Therefore, as shown in Figs. 3(c) and 4, a tape- or string-like first part 19 made of cloth is provided, which is attached to the inside of the garment body 2 and supports the electric fan 18 so as to hang it down. One end 19a of the first part 19 is sewn to the sewn-on portion 13 of the shoulder portion. The other end 19b of the first part 19 is attached to the interlining 11. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a loop portion 20 made of a string is provided at the top of the interlining 11. The other end 19b of the first part 19 is then passed through the loop portion 20 and folded back (see the arrow in FIG. 4(a)), and the first part 19 can be held in the folded state using a hook-and-loop fastener 23 provided on the first part 19. By changing the folding position of the first part 19, the length of the first part 19 between the shoulder portion 6 and the interlining 11 can be adjusted; in other words, the hanging position of the electric fan 18 can be adjusted.

[0017] This configuration in which the electric fan 18 is supported by the first part 19 in such a manner that it is suspended from the outside prevents the back part 5 from coming into close contact with the back of the wearer P, as shown in Figure 3(c), and ensures a space between the back of the wearer P and the back part 5. This makes it possible to prevent obstruction of the air flow (see arrow A in Figure 3(c)) within the garment body 2, and avoids a loss of comfort. Note that in addition to or instead of a cloth material, other materials (for example, elastic materials such as rubber, or materials such as silicone) may be used for first part 19. Furthermore, the structure for adjusting the length of first part 19 is not limited, and buttons or adjustment parts may also be used.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 3(d), the garment also includes a tape- or string-shaped second part 21 made of cloth, one end 21a of which is attached to the base of the collar 9 and the other end 21b of which is attached to the armhole 7. One end 21a of second part 21 is sewn to sewn-on portions 14 of collar 9 and shoulder yoke 5a. Similarly to the case shown in FIG. 4, loop portions 22 made of string are provided at sewn-on portions 15 of armhole 7 and sleeve 8. The other end 21b of second part 21 is passed through loop portion 22 and folded back, and the second part can be held in the folded state using a hook-and-loop fastener provided on the second part. By changing the folding position of second part 21, the length of second part 21 between the base of collar 9 and armhole 7 can be adjusted; in other words, the pulled-up positions of armhole 7 and sleeve 8 can be adjusted.

[0019] This configuration in which the second part 21 supports the armhole 7 by pulling it up prevents the shoulder portion 6 from coming into close contact with the shoulder of the wearer P, ensuring space between the shoulder of the wearer P and the shoulder portion 6. This makes it possible to prevent obstruction of the air flow (see arrow A in Figure 3(d)) within the garment body 2, and avoids loss of comfort. Note that in addition to or instead of a cloth material, other materials (for example, elastic materials such as rubber, or materials such as silicone) may be used for second part 21. Furthermore, the structure for adjusting the length of second part 21 is not limited, and buttons or adjustment parts may be used.

[0020] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the above-described embodiments are merely examples of specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited by these embodiments. In other words, the present invention can be carried out in various forms without departing from its technical concept or main features. In the embodiment, the electric fan is attached to the back portion 5 of the clothing body 2, but this is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to a configuration in which the electric fan is attached to the front body 4 or underarms of the clothing body 2. In addition, in the embodiment, the first part 19 is configured to indirectly support the electric fan 18 by suspending it via the interlining 11, but the first part 19 may also be configured to directly support the electric fan 18 by suspending it. In the embodiment, a long-sleeved blouson-type outerwear has been described, but the type of clothing to which the present invention can be applied is not limited, and it may be outerwear other than a long-sleeved blouson type (short-sleeved blouson, vest, shirt, etc.), trousers, or overalls.
