Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to clothing to which a blower device can be attached easily and safely, and to a structure for attaching the blower device to the clothing. [Background technology]

[0002] As heatstroke prevention measures have become increasingly important in recent years, work clothes equipped with air conditioning have become widely used to protect workers. In this regard, not only have the air conditioning units become lighter, but because the electrically powered devices must be removed when cleaning the clothes, work clothes with a detachable fan have been developed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6144856 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The clothing ventilation opening described in Patent Document 1 is configured to reinforce the edge of the inlet hole of the clothing by clamping it with piping fabric. This configuration stabilizes the shape of the fabric around the edge of the inlet hole and makes it easier to hold the air blower in place, but it cannot be installed correctly unless the air blower matches the size of the inlet hole. In addition, when the clothing is worn, the inlet hole stands upright in the vertical direction, and the air blower is installed in one direction that intersects with this, so there is room for improvement in the stability of the installation state.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure that allows mounting of air blowers of various configurations and that allows a selection of multiple mounting methods. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problems, is an attachment structure capable of attaching an air blower to a sheet material, the sheet material having an inlet hole capable of introducing airflow from the air blower, a reinforcing member covering the peripheral portion of the inlet hole from one side, and a band-shaped support portion fixed to the sheet material at at least two spaced apart fixing portions and extending in a straight line passing through the two fixing portions, a portion of the support portion being close to the peripheral portion. With this configuration, the mounting structure can be adapted to mount air blowers of various configurations and can be selected from a plurality of mounting methods.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the perpendicular bisector of the two fixing portions passes through the introduction hole in the plane direction of the introduction hole. Such a configuration allows the support portion and the introduction hole to be closer to each other, making it easier to design and manufacture the mounting structure.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the linear distance between the two fixing portions is longer than the width of the introduction hole in the direction of the linear distance. With this configuration, it is possible to easily attach air blowers having various shapes of locking structures.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support portion is provided between the fixing portions in the plane direction of the introduction hole. With this configuration, interference with the airflow path can be minimized.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing member at least partially overlaps with the support portion in the plane direction of the introduction hole. With this configuration, the support portion and the peripheral edge portion are close to each other, and the blower device can be stably attached.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing member includes an annular reinforcing plate surrounding the introduction hole, and a reinforcing sheet covering the reinforcing plate. With this configuration, the peripheral portion can be easily reinforced with a simple structure.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support further includes a covering portion that can cover the support portion from the side opposite to the introduction hole. With this configuration, deformation of the support portion can be suppressed, and the blower device can be held more stably.

[0013] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is clothing comprising the attachment structure. With this configuration, it is possible to attach air blowers of various sizes to clothing, and to select from a variety of attachment methods.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the exhaust pipe further includes an exhaust tube extending from the collar toward the median line, the exhaust tube having a cross-sectional shape retainer capable of retaining a predetermined cross-sectional shape. With this configuration, a flow path for the gas introduced from the air blower into the garment can be easily secured.

[0015] The present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problems, is a manufacturing method of an attachment structure capable of attaching an air blower to a sheet material, and includes a positioning step of sewing a reinforcing sheet having an opening, at least two spaced-apart fixing portions, and a support portion whose position is determined by the fixing portions to one side of the sheet material, thereby determining an inlet hole capable of introducing airflow from the air blower and the position of the support portion; a cutting step of cutting the inlet hole in the sheet material to match the opening; and a reinforcing plate attachment step of attaching an annular reinforcing plate to the peripheral portion surrounding the inlet hole and covering it with the reinforcing sheet. With this configuration, it is possible to easily manufacture with high reproducibility a mounting structure that can mount air blowers of various configurations and that allows a selection of multiple mounting methods.

[0016] The present invention, which solves the above problem, is an exhaust unit that can exhaust air that has entered between clothing and the body, The exhaust pipe extends from the collar toward the median line, and the exhaust pipe has a cross-sectional retainer that can maintain a predetermined cross-sectional shape, and the cross-sectional retainer includes a first member that covers the inner circumferential surface and a second member further inward from the first member. With this configuration, even if the clothing is flexible, the cross section of the exhaust pipe can be kept in an expanded state, and air can be reliably exhausted from inside the clothing.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second member is in a layered state in which the mesh body is folded in two or more layers. With this configuration, the cross section of the exhaust stack can be easily expanded using the elastic force of the mesh body.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the second members are provided on opposite sides of the median line. This configuration avoids the user's spine and improves comfort when worn.

[0019] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a garment comprising an exhaust section and an attachment structure that enables the air blower to be attached to the rear body. This configuration allows a stable gas flow path to be formed between the garment and the wearer's body, maintaining a high cooling effect. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] The present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problems, provides a mounting structure that allows mounting of air blowers of various configurations and allows a selection of multiple mounting methods. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] Hereinafter, an attachment structure Y and a garment X according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The description will be made in detail in the order of the configuration of the embodiment, the method of implementation, and other examples. It should be noted that the following embodiments are merely examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0023] First Embodiment As shown in FIGS. 1(b), 2, and 3, the mounting structure Y according to this embodiment is provided on the garment X, particularly on the sheet material S that constitutes the garment X, and allows the attachment of the air blower B, as shown in FIG. 2. The mounting structure Y is preferably provided on the front body 1 or back body 2 of the garment X, particularly on the back body 2. This configuration allows the air blower B to generate an appropriate airflow in the gap between the garment X and the user's body without interfering with the movement of the user (the wearer of the garment X). Furthermore, it is preferable that the mounting structures Y are provided in pairs at positions symmetrical with respect to the midline C. This configuration allows the user's body to be cooled evenly on both sides.

[0024] Garment X is an upper garment (preferably workwear or the like) made of a fabric with low breathability or high airtightness, and includes a front body 1, a back body 2, and an attachment structure Y. Garment X may or may not have sleeves, but it is preferable that the flow of gas (particularly air) introduced into the garment by a blower B attached to the attachment structure Y is less likely to flow out through the sleeves (or armholes) and more likely to flow out through the collar, i.e., around the user's neck. This configuration allows air to be appropriately blown around the user's armpits and neck, effectively cooling the user's body.

[0025] FIG. 3 is a view from the inside of the back body 2 of garment X (or the sheet material S that forms the back body 2) showing an embodiment in which an attachment structure Y is provided. The attachment structure Y comprises an inlet hole 3 that can introduce airflow from a blower B, a band-shaped support part 4 that is adjacent to the inlet hole 3 and can support the blower B, and a reinforcing member 5 that is provided on the periphery of the inlet hole 3. With this configuration, either or both of the periphery of the inlet hole 3 and the support part 4 can be used to attach the blower B, which increases the options for attachment methods and allows the blower B to be held more stably on the garment X.

[0026] 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), and 4(e) show the detailed configuration of the mounting structure Y. As described above, the mounting structure Y includes an introduction hole 3, a support portion 4, and a reinforcing member 5, and may further include a cover portion 6 depending on the configuration. Here, the air blower B is attached to and held in place on the garment X by engaging, inserting, clamping, or the like. The sheet material S on which the mounting structure Y is provided is the fabric that constitutes the garment X.

[0027] The inlet hole 3 is an opening that penetrates the sheet material S from the outside to the inside of the garment X, allowing a flow of gas to be introduced from the outside to the inside of the garment X. In the drawings, the inlet hole 3 is shown as being circular, but other shapes are also acceptable, and the size and shape are not limited as long as an airflow path can be secured. However, since the size and / or shape of the inlet hole 3 corresponds to the cross section of the path of the airflow of the attached blower B and the size of the housing, etc., it is preferable to determine it within a range that can secure both a path and stable attachment.

[0028] The support part 4 is fixed to the sheet material S at at least two spaced-apart fixing parts F, and has a band-shaped support part main body 41 extending in a straight line passing through (at least) two fixing parts F, and a cutout part 42 adjacent to the support part main body 41, allowing the air blower B to be supported by engagement. The support part 4 may also be formed integrally with the sheet material S or the reinforcing member 5, and appear as part of them. This configuration increases the strength of the entire mounting structure Y, allowing the air blower B to be held more stably. Furthermore, it is preferable that a portion of the support part 4 be configured close to the periphery of the introduction hole 3. This configuration reduces the size of the mounting structure Y (the range relative to the garment X), making it possible to mount even an air blower B with a more compact configuration.

[0029] The fixing portions F are portions that fix the support portion 4 to the sheet material S at two or more spaced apart locations. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4(d), the support portion 4 is fixed to the sheet material S at two locations, and the support portion 4 is provided between the two fixing portions F in the planar direction of the introduction hole 3 (the cross-sectional direction of the flow path; the same applies below). The two fixing portions F are located on opposite sides of an arbitrary line passing through the center point of the introduction hole 3 in a specific direction in the planar direction of the introduction hole 3. In this case, it is particularly preferable that the perpendicular bisector of the two fixing portions F passes through the introduction hole 3. With this configuration, when the support portion 4 is provided between the two fixing portions F, the positions of the support portion 4 and the introduction hole 3 do not deviate significantly from each other, allowing them to be closer to each other, making it easier to design and manufacture the mounting structure Y.

[0030] 4(a), 4(d), and 4(e) show, as an example, an example in which two fixing parts F are arranged so as to be positioned on opposite sides of a center line A passing through the center point of the circular introduction hole 3. Furthermore, here, the linear distance separating the fixing parts F is longer than the width (i.e., diameter) of the introduction hole 3 in the direction of that linear distance. With this configuration, the support part 4 is made longer than the width of the introduction hole 3, and it becomes possible to attach a blower B that is slightly larger than the introduction hole 3.

[0031] The support body 41 is a strip-shaped member that forms the main part of the support part 4, and is fixed to the sheet material S at at least two points with fixing parts F, so that the side facing away from the inlet hole 3 can engage and hold the blower B. The support body 41 may also be configured to be continuous with the periphery of the inlet hole 3 or with the reinforcing member 5, and to become wider toward both ends. With this configuration, the blower B can be attached even if the size (or shape) of the flow path cross section of the inlet hole 3 and the blower B are different.

[0032] The cutout 42 is a slit or elongated hole of approximately the same length as the support body 41, provided along the side of the support body 41 facing away from the introduction hole 3. This ensures sufficient space for the air blower B to be engaged with and supported by the support body 41. In addition, in the drawings, the cutout 42 is shown as an approximately rectangular elongated hole for the sake of explanation, but the width of the cutout 42 may be determined arbitrarily as long as the cutout 42 separates the support body 41 from the other fabric and / or sheet material S on at least one side.

[0033] The reinforcing member 5 is an annular member that covers the peripheral edge of the introduction hole 3 from one side, preventing the sheet material S from breaking at the peripheral edge. Furthermore, the reinforcing member 5 preferably overlaps at least a portion with the support portion 4 in the plane direction of the introduction hole 3, and has a smooth, continuous, integrated shape that continues from the peripheral edge to the shape of the support portion 4 (or the position of the fixing portion F); the drawings show a U-shape (an oval shape cut in half along its short axis) as an example. With this configuration, the introduction hole 3 and the support portion 4 are brought close to each other, and the narrow portion of the sheet material S can be widely reinforced by both, ensuring the strength of the entire mounting structure Y.

[0034] The reinforcing member 5 includes an annular reinforcing plate 51 that surrounds the introduction hole 3 and a reinforcing sheet 52 that covers the reinforcing plate 51. As shown in FIG. 7(c), the reinforcing plate 51 is a flat member having an opening that corresponds to the introduction hole 3 or is slightly larger than the introduction hole 3, and is made of a material (such as resin, nonwoven fabric, or lightweight metal) that is flexible enough to be easily bent by hand and has tensile strength that does not break when pulled by human force. This stably maintains the shape of the mounting structure Y and makes it easier to support the weight of the air blower B.

[0035] 7(c), the reinforcing plate 51 preferably has a shape that extends from an annular configuration surrounding the introduction hole 3 to a position that becomes the support part 4 (particularly the support part main body 41). With such a configuration, the strength of the reinforcing plate 51 can also be used for the support part 4, and the state in which the blower device B is locked and supported can be maintained more stably.

[0036] The reinforcing sheet 52 is a member that covers the reinforcing plate 51 and forms the exterior of the main part of the mounting structure Y, and is preferably made of the same material as the clothing X or the sheet material S. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6( a), the reinforcing sheet 52 has an opening corresponding to the introduction hole 3, and is shaped to continuously cover the area from the periphery of the introduction hole 3 to the support part 4. The reinforcing sheet 52 is sewn to the sheet material S, and the reinforcing plate 51 is enclosed within. This configuration not only reduces discomfort caused by the reinforcing plate 51 when worn by the user, but also improves the design of the mounting structure Y. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7( c), the reinforcing sheet 52 may include an additional member that covers the outer contour of the reinforcing plate 51. This configuration more reliably prevents the reinforcing plate 51 from being exposed, improving the durability of the entire mounting structure Y.

[0037] The covering part 6 is a member having a sheet-like covering part main body 61 that protrudes from the front and back sides of the sheet material S of the mounting structure Y, and a fastener 62 that enables the covering part main body 61 to be fixed to the sheet material S, making it possible to cover the support part 4 from the side opposite the introduction hole 3. The covering part main body 61 is a flap that covers the support part 4 from both the outer and inner sides of the garment X (sheet material S), and has a fastener 62 near the fixing part F. The fastener 62 may be any member that can fasten the covering part main body 61 to the sheet material S, and examples of the fastener include a metal or plastic button. The components of the covering part 6 described above suppress deformation of the support part 4, making it possible to more stably maintain the state in which the air blower B is held.

[0038] 4(b) and 4(c) show a cross-sectional view of the mounting structure Y taken along the center line A and the state in which the adapter 7 is attached thereto, respectively. The adapter 7 has a flat main support portion 71 and a sub-support portion 72 facing each other via a connecting portion 73. The adapter 7 has a deep groove configuration in side view, allowing the air blower B to be attached to the mounting structure Y. When the adapter 7 is attached to the mounting structure Y, the support body 41 is sandwiched between the main support portion 71 and the sub-support portion 72, and the connecting portion 73 abuts against the support body 41, thereby holding the entire adapter 7 in a locked state. At this time, the connecting portion 73 fits into the cutout portion 42. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4(e), a stable holding state can be maintained by covering the support portion 4 and the vicinity of the connecting portion 73 of the adapter 7 with the cover portion 6. In this case, it is preferable that the main support portion 71 and the sub-support portion 72 sandwich the periphery of the inlet hole 3. With this configuration, two types of attachment methods can be used in combination: support at the support portion 4 and clamping of the peripheral edge portion.

[0039] 5(a) and 5(b) are diagrams showing the state in which the air blower B is attached to the mounting structure Y. As shown in FIG. 5(b), an adapter 7 is provided at one end of the air blower B in the air blowing direction, and by engaging the adapter 7 with the support part 4 as described above and clamping the peripheral edge of the introduction hole 3, the air blower B is attached to and held in the mounting structure Y. With this configuration, the air blower B is attached to the garment X as shown in FIG. 3.

[0040] As shown in FIGS. 1(a), 1(b), 2, and 3, garment X according to this embodiment further includes an exhaust pipe 8 extending from the collar toward the midline C. The exhaust pipe 8 is a tubular member extending along the midline C on the back side of garment X, from the top of the collar to the middle of the back body section 2, and having a cross section perpendicular to the midline C. The exhaust pipe 8 functions as a flow path for gas introduced into garment X by air blower B, allowing the gas to pass through and be discharged. The exhaust pipe 8 also includes an exhaust pipe main body 81 that forms its side surface, and a cross-section retainer 82 that can maintain the cross section in a predetermined shape. Because the formation of the exhaust pipe 8 also involves a portion of the back body section 2 of garment X, in the following description, the portion of the back body section 2 and the exhaust pipe 8 will collectively be referred to as the exhaust section Z.

[0041] The exhaust pipe main body 81 is a sheet-like member that, together with the collar and back body 2 of the garment X, forms a gas flow path, and at least two opposing sides are sewn to the collar and back body 2 to form the exhaust pipe 8 inside the garment X. Furthermore, the cross-section retainer 82 is inserted into the tube formed by the exhaust pipe main body 81 and the collar and back body 2, and maintains the flow path cross section of the exhaust pipe 8 in a predetermined shape. Here, the "predetermined shape" refers to a bulging shape as shown in FIG. 8, in particular a shape that bulges out to a certain extent (several millimeters to several centimeters) from the front to the back of the user (or vice versa).

[0042] The cross-section retainer 82 is preferably flexible so as to allow gas to pass through and not cause discomfort to the wearer, and is preferably made of a coarse fiber material, particularly a mesh-like material (such as a three-dimensional mesh). With this configuration, even when the user wears accessories (such as a harness) over the clothing X, a gas flow path can be maintained between the clothing X and the body.

[0043] 8, the cross-section retainer 82 includes a first member that covers the inner circumferential surface of the exhaust pipe 8 and a second member that is provided inside and surrounded by the first member, and in this embodiment, these are provided as a first mesh 821 and a second mesh 822, respectively. Note that Fig. 8 also shows an enlarged view of the exhaust section Z, a cross-sectional end view taken along line DD, and the configuration of the second mesh 822.

[0044] The first mesh 821 is a mesh-like member provided on the inner circumferential surface of the exhaust tube 8, i.e., over substantially the entire front surface of the inner wall of the tube formed by the back body 2 and the exhaust tube main body 81, and forms a base for maintaining the cross section of the exhaust tube 8. In particular, on the back body 2 side, the first mesh 821 receives loads from outside the garment X to prevent breakage of the back body 2, and on the exhaust tube main body 81 side, it serves as a base for attaching the second mesh 822.

[0045] The second mesh 822 is a mesh-like body that is layered on the inner circumferential surface of the inside surrounded by the first mesh 821, particularly further inside the first mesh 821 that covers the inner wall of the exhaust pipe main body 81, and keeps the flow path cross section of the exhaust pipe 8 in an expanded state. In this embodiment, it is preferable that two or more second meshes 822 are provided on either side of the midline C, approximately parallel to the midline C. This configuration not only avoids the user's spine and improves wearing comfort, but also allows the other second meshes 822 to maintain the cross section of the exhaust pipe 8, even if one of the multiple second meshes 822 is crushed, so that exhaust can continue.

[0046] The second mesh 822 is attached to the first mesh 821 in a layered state in which a mesh-like body having a predetermined thickness is folded in two or more layers. In this embodiment, one second mesh 822 is folded in thirds, folded into three layers, and the periphery is sewn together, and then multiple layers are sewn to the first mesh 821. With this configuration, the second mesh 822 generates a force that tries to return to its original state from the layered state, and this force acts in a direction that expands the cross section of the exhaust pipe 8, thereby more stably holding the cross section of the exhaust pipe 8.

[0047] The mesh members constituting the first mesh 821 and the second mesh 822 are preferably made of resin fibers having high elasticity. This allows the exhaust pipe 8 to fit the user's body with a certain degree of flexibility and also reduces the weight of the interior of the exhaust pipe 8. The thickness of the mesh members constituting the first mesh 821 and the second mesh 822 is determined by the diameter of the resin fibers when wound in a spiral, and is preferably 5 mm or more, and more preferably 10 mm or more. With this configuration, the thickness of the cross-section retainer 82 can be easily ensured.

[0048] The present invention may have the following configurations. However, the following configurations are merely examples, and the presence or absence of the configurations can be determined arbitrarily unless otherwise specified.

[0049] <Example of change> The shape of the introduction hole 3 need not be circular, but may be any other shape as long as it can properly secure a flow path for the airflow generated by the blower B. For example, it may be an ellipse, a regular polygon, or other shape with rotational symmetry or line symmetry. In this case, the center line A may be determined appropriately based on mathematical concepts, and examples include a straight line passing through the center point of a specific radius of curvature, a straight line passing through the center point of an axis of symmetry or rotational symmetry, or a straight line passing through the midpoint of a line segment that defines the maximum width of the shape.

[0050] The cross-section retainer 82 may be a cylindrical member made of a fibrous sheet-like member (such as a three-dimensional mesh, urethane, or cushioning material) having a predetermined thickness, which is inserted into the exhaust pipe main body 81. With this configuration, a force is always applied in the direction of expanding the flow path cross-section of the exhaust pipe 8 in the thickness direction of the back body 2, making it possible to more stably maintain the cross-sectional area of ​​the exhaust pipe 8. Furthermore, in addition to the fibrous member, the cross-section retainer 82 may include a columnar member arranged approximately parallel to the median line C. This columnar member is arranged at the connection position between the exhaust pipe main body 81 and the back body 2, and adds further thickness in the thickness direction of the back body 2. With this configuration, it is possible to further withstand the weight of accessories (such as a harness) and maintain the cross-sectional area of ​​the exhaust pipe 8.

[0051] Hereinafter, a method for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The ...

[0052] <<Implementation Method>> When attaching the air blower B to the mounting structure Y for the garment X, the user engages the adapter 7 provided on the air blower B with the support body 41, as shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b). As described above, the adapter 7 has a groove when viewed from the side, and the support body 41 is passed through the groove, and the center of the air blower B is lowered to a position aligned with the inlet hole 3. This causes the bottom of the groove (connection portion 73) to abut against the support body 41, and the air blower B is held in place in the surface direction of the mounting structure Y.

[0053] In addition to the above, it is preferable for the user to narrow the gap between the main holding portion 71 and the sub-holding portion 72 of the adapter 7 and clamp the peripheral edge of the inlet hole 3 with the adapter 7. This brings the air blower B and the mounting structure Y into pressure contact in a direction perpendicular to the engagement with the support body 41, making it possible to hold the air blower B more stably.

[0054] After the blower B has been attached in the above manner, the user covers the adapter 7 and the support part 4 with the cover part 6. At this time, if there is a fastener 62, the fastener 62 is used to fasten the cover part main body 61 and the sheet material S, thereby holding the blower B in place so that it does not shake.

[0055] When the user wants to remove the air blower B from the garment X, he or she performs the above steps in reverse.

[0056] The manufacturing method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The method of implementation shown below is an example, and the method of implementation is not limited to this, and the order of steps may be changed.

[0057] ≪Manufacturing method≫ In manufacturing the mounting structure Y according to this embodiment, the sheet material S, the reinforcing plate 51, and the reinforcing sheet 52 are prepared. Depending on the configuration, a cover body 61 and a fastener 62 are also prepared. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 6( a) and 7(c), the reinforcing plate 51 and the reinforcing sheet 52 each have an opening for forming the introduction hole 3, at least two spaced fixing portions F (i.e., portions that will become the fixing portions F), and a support portion 4 (particularly the support body 41) whose position is determined by the fixing portions F. This configuration determines the configuration of the mounting structure Y using tangible components, making it difficult for individual differences to occur in the positional relationship between the introduction hole 3 and the support portion 4, and allowing the mounting structure Y to be manufactured with high reproducibility. However, at this stage, the opening in the reinforcing sheet 52 is smaller than the opening in the reinforcing plate 51. This allows the inner peripheral surface of the reinforcing plate 51 to be covered so as not to be exposed in a later process.

[0058] <Positioning process> First, as shown in Figures 6(a) and 6(b), the manufacturer places the reinforcing sheet 52 on one side of the sheet material S and sews them together along the line that will become the introduction hole 3. This determines the positions of the introduction hole 3 and the support part 4. As mentioned above, the positional relationship between the introduction hole 3 and the support part 4 depends on the reproducibility when cutting out the reinforcing sheet 52. Therefore, by adopting a method that makes it easy to achieve reproducibility, such as a method of cutting out reinforcing sheets 52 of the same shape using a cutting machine or mold, individual differences in the mounting structure Y can be reduced.

[0059] <Cutting process> Next, as shown in Figure 7(a), the manufacturer cuts out openings in the sheet material S that will become the introduction holes 3, aligning them with the openings in the reinforcing sheet 52, in other words, using the openings as landmarks. At this time, as mentioned above, the size of the openings is slightly smaller than the introduction holes 3, and the manufacturer then makes multiple cuts in the peripheral edge of the cut-out openings, moving away from the openings, to positions that correspond to the size of the introduction holes 3, as shown in the left diagram of Figure 7(b). These cuts are made in both the sheet material S and the reinforcing sheet 52.

[0060] <Folding process> 7(b), the manufacturer then folds the outer side of the reinforcing sheet 52 beyond the stitched portion with the sheet material S toward the opening, pulls it out to the opposite side of the sheet material S, and folds it back. At this time, the cut portions around the opening are rolled up and folded back to the opposite side to cover it. After this, the manufacturer preferably irons the reinforcing sheet 52 to shape it so that the entire reinforcing sheet 52 is in surface contact with the sheet material S.

[0061] <Reinforcing plate installation process> Next, as shown in FIG. 7(c), the manufacturer inserts the reinforcing plate 51 into the gap formed by folding back the sheet material S, and attaches it so that the opening of the reinforcing plate 51 overlaps with the introduction hole 3. At this time, the reinforcing plate 51 is attached to the peripheral portion surrounding the introduction hole 3 and is covered with the reinforcing sheet 52, and in particular the entire inner peripheral surface of the opening is covered. The manufacturer then sews and fixes the reinforcing plate 51 together with the reinforcing sheet 52 and the sheet material S. At this time, it is preferable to add a strip-shaped reinforcing sheet 52 so as to cover the outer periphery of the reinforcing plate 51, i.e., the edge opposite the opening, to provide stronger reinforcement.

[0062] <Support part formation process> Next, the manufacturer forms the fixing portion F formed by the reinforcing plate 51 and the reinforcing sheet 52, and the supporting portion 4 by folding back or slitting the sheet material S along the edge between them. After that, the manufacturer covers the supporting portion 4 with a strip of cloth from the side opposite the introduction hole 3, and attaches the covering portion 6. [Explanation of symbols]
