Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fan, a clothing body of fan-equipped wear to which the fan is attached, and fan-equipped wear. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, fan-equipped clothing that cools the body has become commercially available and is rapidly gaining popularity. Fan-equipped clothing has a clothing body made of a material with low breathability and a fan attached to it for introducing air into the clothing body. When the fan is activated, air is introduced from the fan into the clothing body, and the pressure of the introduced air forms an air flow passage between the clothing body and the wearer's body. The introduced air flows through the formed air flow passage along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear and is discharged to the outside through an air outlet formed between the back collar of the clothing body and the back of the wearer's neck.

[0003] As the introduced air flows through the air flow passage between the clothing body and the wearer's body or underwear, it evaporates sweat from the body, and the body is cooled by the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2005 / 063065 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In fan-equipped clothing, the opening into which the fan is attached is circular to match the shape of the fan. This means that the fan itself can rotate relative to the fabric. This can change the orientation of the finger guards exposed to the fabric, which can lead to logos or other markings on the finger guards being oriented in an unintended direction.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and aims to provide a fan that can prevent the fan main body from rotating relative to the object to which it is attached, such as fabric, fan-equipped clothing to which such a fan can be attached, and the clothing itself for the fan-equipped clothing.

[0043] <Configuration examples of the fan-equipped wear and the clothing body of the fan-equipped wear according to the present embodiment> Fig. 5A is a front view of an example of a clothing body according to the present embodiment with the front body open, Fig. 5B is a back view of an example of a clothing body according to the present embodiment with the front body closed, Fig. 6A is a front view of an example of a fan-equipped wear according to the present embodiment with the front body open, and Fig. 6B is a back view of an example of a fan-equipped wear according to the present embodiment with the front body closed.

[0044] Note that, based on the state in which a wearer is wearing the fan-equipped wear 10, the direction in front of the wearer is defined as "front," the right direction as "right," the left direction as "left," and the rear direction as "rear." Furthermore, when the fan-equipped wear 10 is worn, the side facing the wearer is defined as the inner side, and the opposite side facing the outside space is defined as the outer side.

[0045] The fan-equipped wear 10 comprises a clothing body 11A, a fan 1A that introduces air into the clothing body 11A, a power supply unit 7 that supplies power to the fan 1A, and a connection cable 7a that connects the power supply unit 7 and the fan 1A.

[0046] The clothing body 11A includes fan mounting portions 5 (5L, 5R) to which the fan 1A is detachably attached, and an air discharge portion 6 from which air introduced into the clothing body 11A by the fan 1A is discharged.

[0047] The fan-equipped wear 10 is configured such that air is introduced into the clothing body 11A by a fan 1A driven by power supplied from a power supply unit 7 attached to the clothing body 11A, and the air is circulated along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear, etc., and then discharged from the air discharge section 6, thereby evaporating sweat from the body and cooling the body with the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation.

[0048] The clothing body 11A is made up of a fabric 11C that is either non-breathable or breathable enough to be inflated by air introduced by a fan 1A, and includes a front body 11F, a back body 11B, and sleeves 11S. The clothing body 11A is configured so that the front body 11F, the back body 11B, and the sleeves 11S cover the torso and arms of the wearer.

[0049] The clothing body 11A has a front body 11F divided into a left front body 11FL and a right front body 11FR. The clothing body 11A is connected by sewing or the like at the left side of the left front body 11FL and the back body 11B, and is also connected by sewing or the like at the right side of the right front body 11FR and the back body 11B. The clothing body 11A is also connected by sewing or the like at the shoulder 12aL of the left front body 11FL and the back body 11B, and is also connected by sewing or the like at the shoulder 12aR of the right front body 11FR and the back body 11B. Furthermore, the clothing body 11A has sleeves 11S connected by sewing or the like to the left and right armholes 12bL, 12bR, respectively.

[0050] 5A, 5B, 6A, and 6B, the clothing body 11A is formed in the shape of a so-called blouson-type upper garment, but the shape of the clothing body 11A is not limited to this as long as it covers at least a part of the wearer's body. For example, the clothing body 11A may be formed in the shape of a vest that covers only the torso of the wearer.

[0051] The clothing body 11A has a front body opening / closing section 13 that allows the left front body 11FL and the right front body 11FR to be opened and closed. The front body opening / closing section 13 has a line fastener 13a or the like on the left front body 11FL and the right front body 11FR, and can hold the left front body 11FL and the right front body 11FR in a closed state.

[0052] The clothing body 11A also includes an air leakage prevention part 14, which is a means for preventing air in the space between the clothing body 11A and the wearer's body from leaking out through the hem part 12c. The air leakage prevention part 14 is formed by providing a stretchable member, such as an elastic cord, at the hem part 12c of the clothing body 11A so as to go around the wearer's body.

[0053] The air leakage prevention section 14 may also be configured to include a string-passing section formed to go around the wearer's body except near the front body opening / closing section 13, a string-like member passed through the string-passing section, and a cord stopper provided on the part of the string-like member that protrudes from the string-passing section, so that the hem portion 12c of the clothing body 11A can be fitted closely to the wearer's body by pulling the part of the string-like member that protrudes from the string-passing section and then fixing the cord stopper.

[0054] In addition, an air leakage prevention section may be provided on the inside of the sleeve section 11S, which is formed by providing an elastic member such as an elastic cord around the sleeve section of the wearer to prevent air from being discharged directly from the cuff 11K of the sleeve section 11S.

[0055] The clothing body 11A is provided with an air exhaust section 6 at the neckline 12dB of the back body 11B. The clothing body 11A may also include an exhaust section forming member that flexes the neckline 12dB or the back body 11B in the vicinity of the neckline 12dB to form a gap between the clothing body 11A and the wearer.

[0056] The clothing body 11A is provided with two fan mounting portions 5L and 5R on the back body 11B so that two fans 1A can be attached.

[0057] The fan mounting portions 5L and 5R have openings 50a to which the fan 1A is attached. The openings 50a are rectangular holes that penetrate the fabric 11C from front to back and are shaped to match the outer frame 24 of the fan 1A. The openings 50a are preferably configured with a resin reinforcing member sewn along the rectangular edges to match the shape of the openings 50a. This prevents the fan 1A from easily falling out of the openings 50a.

[0058] The clothing body 11A includes a power supply attachment section 8 to which the power supply device 7 is detachably attached, and a cable holder 9 that detachably holds the connection cable 7a.

[0059] The power supply attachment section 8 is configured by providing a pouch on the inside surface of the left front body section 11FL that can store the power supply device 7. The cable holding section 9 is provided on the inside surface of the back body section 11B, near the fan attachment sections 5L and 5R.

[0060] <Examples of Use of Fan-Equipped Wear and Fan-Equipped Wear Body of the Present Embodiment> Next, examples of how the fan-equipped garment 10 and the garment body 11A can be used will be described with reference to the various figures.

[0061] When the clothing body 11A is used as fan-equipped wear 10, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, fans 1A are attached to the fan mounting portions 5L and 5R, respectively. A power supply unit 7 is also attached to the power supply mounting portion 8. The fans 1A and the power supply unit 7 are then electrically connected by a connection cable 7a, which is held in place by a cable holder 9.

[0062] To attach the fan 1A to the fan attachment portions 5L and 5R, the mounting member 3 is removed from the fan main body 2, and the outer frame 24 of the fan main body 2 is inserted into the opening 50a with the finger guard portions 22 facing outward.

[0063] Next, the attachment member 3 is fitted into the outer frame portion 24 exposed on the inside of the back body 11B. To fit the attachment member 3 into the outer frame portion 24, the pressing portion 31a provided with the locked portion 33 is oriented to face the first side portion 24a provided with the locking portion 25, and the pressing portion 31b provided with the locked portion 33 is oriented to face the second side portion 24b provided with the locking portion 25. Then, the attachment member 3 is fitted from the tubular portion 23 into the outer frame portion 24 so that the outer frame portion 24 fits inside the pressing portions 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d.

[0064] During the operation of fitting the mounting member 3 from the tubular portion 23 to the outer frame portion 24, when the locked portions 33 pass through the tubular portion 23, the connecting portions 30 elastically deform in the direction widening the spacing between the locked portions 33, as shown by arrow B in Figure 4A. When the mounting member 3 is fitted from the tubular portion 23 to the outer frame portion 24 to a position where the locked portions 33 face the locking portions 25, the connecting portions 30 return to their original shape, and the locked portions 33 enter the locking portions 25. This causes the mounting member 3 to be locked to the fan main body 2.

[0065] When the attachment member 3 is engaged with the fan main body 2, the clothing fabric 11C is clamped between the peripheral edge 22b of the finger guard portion 22 and the clamping portions 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d of the attachment member 3, and the fan main body 2 is attached to the clothing body 11A.

[0066] When the mounting member 3 is fitted into the outer frame 24, the first surface 35a faces the peripheral edge 22b, and the mounting member 3 is engaged with the fan main body 2. The length between the first surface 35a and the peripheral edge 22b is shorter than the length between the second surface 35b and the peripheral edge 22b when the mounting member 3 is engaged with the fan main body 2. This allows the fabric 11C to be sandwiched between the mounting member 3 and the peripheral edge 22b, regardless of the thickness of the fabric 11C.

[0067] To remove the fan 1A from the fan mounting portions 5L and 5R, the connecting portions 30 are pushed from both sides in the direction of arrow A, as shown by arrow A in FIG. 4A. This causes the connecting portions 30 to elastically deform in the direction widening the spacing between the locked portions 33, as shown by arrow B in FIG. 4A, causing the locked portions 33 to disengage from the locking portions 25. In this state, the mounting member 3 can be removed from the fan main body 2 by moving the mounting member 3 from the outer frame 24 toward the tubular portion 23. By removing the mounting member 3 from the fan main body 2, the outer frame 24 can be pulled out of the opening 50a, and the fan main body 2 can be removed from the clothing main body 11A.

[0068] The outer frame 24 of the fan 1A is rectangular, and the retaining portions 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d of the mounting member 3 are also rectangular. In contrast, the connecting portions 30 that support the retaining portions 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d are annular. If the connecting portions 30 were rectangular, they would be difficult to elastically deform, making it difficult to attach and detach the mounting member 3. In contrast, by making the connecting portions 30 annular, it becomes easier to elastically deform the connecting portions 30, making it easier to attach and detach the mounting member 3.

[0069] Furthermore, because fan 1A has a square outer frame 24, rotation of fan main body 2 relative to clothing main body 11A is suppressed. This makes it possible to uniquely determine the orientation of finger guard 22 exposed on back body 11B of clothing main body 11A. Therefore, if a logo or the like is printed on finger guard 22, it is possible to prevent the logo from being oriented in an unintended direction.

[0070] 7A and 7B are explanatory diagrams showing an example of a method for manufacturing the openings in the garment body. Because the outer frame 24 of the fan 1A is square, the openings 50a that form the fan mounting portions 5L and 5R are rectangular holes that fit the outer frame 24 and penetrate the front and back of the fabric 11C. If the resin reinforcing member is to be sewn along the edge of the square, as shown in FIG. 7A, a slit 50c is made at the vertex of a square opening 50b that is smaller than the opening 50a, and the edge 50d is folded back as shown in FIG. 7B. This makes it easier to manufacture the openings 50a.

[0071] In this way, when a switch (not shown) provided on a power supply unit 7 or the like is operated to drive the fan 1A, the fan-equipped wear 10 to which the fan 1A is attached introduces air into the inner side of the clothing body 11A.

[0072] The garment body 11A is made of fabric that is either non-breathable or breathable enough to be inflated by the introduction of air by the fan 1A. This allows the air introduced into the garment body 11A by the fan 1A to circulate along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear while preventing it from leaking from the garment fabric 11C.

[0073] The air introduced into the clothing body 11A by the fan 1A and circulating along the inner side of the clothing body 11A along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear is discharged to the outside from the air discharge section 6 formed in the neckline 12dB of the back body 11B.

[0074] This allows the air introduced into the clothing body 11A by the fan 1A to circulate along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear while inflating the clothing body 11A, evaporating sweat from the body and cooling the body with the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation.
