Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an air-conditioning garment body and an air-conditioning garment. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, air-conditioning clothing that cools the body has become commercially available and is rapidly gaining popularity. Air-conditioning clothing includes a garment body made of a material with low breathability, two fans attached to the lower rear of the garment body, a power supply unit for supplying power to the two fans, and a power cable for electrically connecting the power supply unit to the two fans.

[0003] When the fan is operated, a large amount of air is drawn into the clothing body from the fan, and the pressure of the drawn-in air automatically creates an air flow passage between the clothing body and the wearer's body. The drawn-in 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 air outlets formed in the openings of the collar or sleeves, for example. As the taken-in 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] For example, if you want to keep people around you from knowing that you are wearing an air-conditioned garment, you may need to wear some other clothing in addition to the air-conditioned garment. However, when conventional air-conditioning clothing is worn over other clothing, the air inlet passage on the outer surface of the fan is blocked, hindering the introduction of air into the clothing itself.Furthermore, if the clothing worn over the clothing is heavy, the weight of the clothing presses the air-conditioning clothing against the wearer's body, hindering the formation of air flow paths inside the clothing, making it difficult to fully utilize the clothing's functions. This issue is particularly noticeable when wearing clothing that provides protection for the wearer's body, such as stab-proof clothing or bulletproof clothing, which is heavier than ordinary clothing such as coats, over the air-conditioned clothing. Similar problems also occur when wearing something other than clothing over air-conditioned clothing, for example, when workers working at heights wear a safety harness over their air-conditioned clothing or when carrying a backpack.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning garment body and an air-conditioning garment whose functionality is unlikely to be impaired even when worn under other clothing. [Means for solving the problem]

[Figure 4] 10A and 10B are diagrams showing the structure of a spacer used in the air-conditioning garment according to the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples, and various modifications can be made to the embodiments described below without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, the state in which the wearer is wearing the air-conditioned garment 100 will be taken as the basis, 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."

[0012] [Configuration of the first embodiment] As shown in FIG. 1, the air-conditioned garment 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 and 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, and then discharged from air outlets 14 formed in the collar and sleeves of the garment body 1, thereby evaporating sweat from the body and cooling the body with the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation.

[0013] [1 Clothes body] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the clothing body 1 is made of a fabric C that is either non-breathable or breathable enough to be inflated by the introduction of air by a fan 2, and is shaped to cover the torso and arms of the wearer. In Figures 1 to 3, the clothing body 1 is shaped like a blouson-type top, but the shape of the clothing body 1 is not limited to this, as long as it covers at least a part of the wearer's body. For example, the clothing body 1 may be shaped like a vest that covers only the torso of the wearer, or like a coverall that covers the lower half of the wearer's body. The shape of the clothing body 1 can be determined appropriately depending on the object on which the air-conditioned clothing is worn. The surface of the fabric C that faces the wearer when the clothing body 1 is worn is referred to as the inner surface of the fabric C, and the opposite surface that faces the outside space when the clothing body 1 is worn is referred to as the outer surface of the fabric C. The inner surface of the fabric C and the part that is closer to the wearer than the inner surface of the fabric C when the clothing body 1 is worn are referred to as the inner surface of the clothing body 1, and the outer surface of the fabric C and the part that is closer to the outside space than the outer surface of the fabric C when the clothing body 1 is worn are referred to as the outer surface of the clothing body 1.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the clothing body 1 is equipped with an opening / closing means 11, an air leakage prevention means 12, a fan mounting hole 13, an air exhaust section 14, a power supply unit holding means 15, a cable holding means 16, an outer surface space securing means 17, a back body inner surface space securing means 18, and a front body inner surface space securing means 19, and is configured so that outside air taken in by the fan 2 through the fan mounting hole 13 is exhausted from the air exhaust sections 14 formed in the collar and sleeves.

[0015] [(1) Opening and closing means] The opening / closing means 11 is a means for opening and closing the front of the clothing body 1 when the clothing body 1 is open at the front and the air-conditioning clothing 100 is worn. As shown in FIG. 1, the opening / closing means 11 is formed by dividing the front body of the clothing body 1 into left and right halves and providing, for example, a linear fastener on each side, so that the divided parts can be attached and detached.

[0016] [(2) Air leakage prevention means] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the air leakage prevention means 12 is provided at the bottom of the clothing body 1 and is a means for preventing air in the space between the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body from leaking out through the bottom of the clothing body 1. For example, it is provided with a string-passing section formed at the bottom of the clothing body 1 so as to go around the wearer's body except for the area near the opening and closing means 11, 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, and is formed by pulling the part of the string-like member that protrudes from the string-passing section and then fixing the cord stopper, so that the bottom of the clothing body 1 can be fitted closely to the wearer's body. When the air-conditioning garment 100 is worn, the air leakage prevention means 12 tightens the bottom of the garment body 1 to fit closely to the wearer's body, preventing air from leaking out from the bottom of the garment body 1.

[0017] [(3) Fan mounting hole] As shown in Figure 1, the fan mounting hole 13 is a circular hole formed in the fabric C that forms the clothing body 1 at a position corresponding to the left and right sides of the wearer's waist, and connects the space between the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body with the space outside the clothing body 1 when the air-conditioned clothing 100 is worn. The diameter of the fan mounting hole 13 is formed to be approximately the same as the diameter of the fan 2 described below, and by attaching the fan 2 so that it passes through the fan mounting hole 13, outside air can be taken in through the fan mounting hole 13 to the inner side of the clothing body 1. It is preferable that the area around the fan mounting hole 13 be reinforced by, for example, attaching a flat annular member made of plastic or the like, or by folding back and sewing the area around the fan mounting hole 13 of the fabric C of the clothing body 1.

[0018] [(4) Air exhaust section] The air discharge section 14 is an opening for discharging the air introduced by the fan 2 from the fan mounting hole 13 into the space between the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body after circulating it along the wearer's body or underwear, and is formed in an opening between the wearer's neck and the end of the collar of the clothing body 1, and an opening between the wearer's arm and the end of the sleeve of the clothing body 1, as shown in Figures 1 to 3.

[0019] [(5) Power supply unit holding means] The power supply unit holding means 15 is a means for holding the power supply unit 3 in a position where it can supply power to the fan 2 via the connection cable 4, and can be, for example, a pocket provided on the inner surface of the clothing body 1 that can store the power supply unit 3, as shown in Figures 1 and 3. Figures 1 and 3 show the case where the power supply unit holding means 15 is a pocket provided on the inner surface of the clothing body 1, but the specific configuration of the power supply unit holding means 15 is not limited to this as long as it can hold the power supply unit 3 in a position where it can supply power to the fan 2 via the connection cable 4. Also, for example, a power supply unit holding means 15 and a remote control holding means (not shown) for holding a remote control (not shown) that controls the power supply unit 3 may be provided on the outer surface of the clothing body 1, and a connection cable 4 may be used to connect the fan 2 and the power supply unit 3, or the fan 2, the power supply unit 3 and the remote control, through an opening provided in the clothing fabric C that communicates from the inner surface of the clothing body 1 to the outer surface of the clothing body 1.

[0020] [(6) Cable retention means] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the cable holding means 16 is a means for holding the connection cable 4 on the inner side of the clothing body 1, and is formed into a ring shape with an opening through which the connection cable 4 can be inserted by sewing a long piece of cloth in the vertical direction at two points, top and bottom, like a typical belt loop, and is configured so that the connection cable 4 can be held by inserting it through the opening.

[0021] [(7) External space securing means] The outer space securing means 17 is provided on the outer side of the back of the clothing body 1 so as to cover the fan mounting hole 13 and the surrounding clothing fabric C, and when clothing is worn over the air-conditioned clothing 100, the distance between the clothing and the fan 2 and the part of the clothing fabric C near the fan mounting hole 13 is kept at a value not narrower than the thickness of the spacer 173, thereby securing space between the clothing and the part of the clothing fabric C near the fan mounting hole 13 to guide the air taken into the clothing body 1 by the fan 2 to the fan 2. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the outer surface space securing means 17 comprises a mesh-like member 171 provided on the outer surface side of the back body of the clothing body 1 so that its ends other than the upper end are fixed to the clothing fabric C, an opening / closing means 172 provided at the opening between the upper end of the mesh-like member 171 and the clothing fabric C of the clothing body 1 and allowing the opening to be opened and closed freely, and a spacer 173 stored in the space between the mesh-like member 171 and the clothing fabric C of the clothing body 1.

[0022] (Mesh-like material) As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the mesh member 171 is a roughly rectangular mesh member attached to the outer surface of the fabric C of the clothing body 1 so as to cover both of the two fan mounting holes 13. As shown in Figure 2, the mesh member 171 is positioned on the outer surface of the fabric C so as to cover both of the two fan mounting holes 13, and is joined to a portion of the fabric C located near the lower end of the back body of the clothing body 1 by fixing the left and right ends and the bottom end to the fabric C by means of sewing, gluing, or the like. As a result, a bag-like space with an opening at the top is formed between the fabric C and the mesh member 171.

[0023] The specific configuration of the mesh member 171 is arbitrary as long as each opening of the mesh is large enough to prevent the spacers 173 from passing through and has an opening degree that does not prevent air from being introduced into the fan 2 via the spacers 173. In addition, any material can be used as long as it is strong enough to prevent the spacers 173 from falling off. In addition, there are no particular limitations on the method of joining the mesh member 171 to the fabric C as long as it does not come off due to the weight of the spacers 173. Alternatively, the mesh member itself may be formed into a bag shape, and an opening and closing means such as a hook-and-loop fastener may be provided at the opening of the bag-shaped mesh member, so that the spacer described below can be detachably stored in the bag. In this case, the mesh member can also be detachably attached to the fabric C by means of the hook-and-loop fastener or the like.

[0024] (Opening and closing means) The opening / closing means 172 is a means for freely opening and closing the opening formed between the upper end of the mesh member 171 and the clothing fabric C, and is configured, for example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, by providing one side of a hook-and-loop fastener extending in the left-right direction near the upper end of the mesh member 171 and attaching the other side of the hook-and-loop fastener to the opposite part of the clothing fabric C, so that the area near the upper end of the mesh member 171 can be freely attached and detached to the clothing fabric C.

[0025] (spacer) The spacer 173 is a member having a space formed therein through which air can circulate, and is housed in the space between the mesh member 171 and the fabric C of the clothing body 1, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

[0026] The structure of the spacer 173 can be any structure that can secure space between the clothing worn over the air-conditioning clothing 100 and the fan 2 and the portion of the clothing fabric C near the fan mounting hole 13 to guide the air taken into the clothing body 1 by the fan 2 to the fan 2. For example, a spacer having a spacer structure S as shown in Figure 4, which is disclosed in Patent Publication No. 4067034, can be used.

[0027] Specifically, the spacer structure S shown in Figure 4 comprises a frame-shaped portion S11, a convex portion S1 having four pillar portions S12 each having one end connected to the frame-shaped portion S11 and formed to stand up from the frame-shaped portion S11, and a connecting portion S13 connecting the other ends of the four pillar portions S12, and a flexible connecting portion S2 connecting the frame-shaped portions S11 of adjacent convex portions S1.By forming the flexible connecting portion S2 in a strip shape that is thinner than the frame-shaped portion S11, the flexible connecting portion S2 is made easier to bend and is configured to have a certain degree of flexibility. By using such a spacer structure S, it is possible to form a spacer of any size and shape by changing the number of convex portions S1 connected by the flexible connecting portions S2.

[0028] The material for forming the spacer structure S may be any material as long as it has a strength sufficient to prevent significant deformation due to the weight of protective clothing, such as stab-proof clothing or bulletproof clothing, when worn over the air-conditioning garment 100. However, from the viewpoint of comfort, it is preferable to use a material that is not too hard while still having the above-mentioned strength. For example, polyethylene (PE) or, depending on the load conditions, load direction, and the weight of the object worn over the air-conditioning garment, a more flexible elastomer (TPE) is preferable, but is not particularly limited. Furthermore, multiple layers may be stacked as needed or depending on the installation location.

[0029] The spacer 173 is formed using the spacer structure S as described above so as to have a size that covers almost the entire mesh member 171 except for the portion where the opening and closing means 172 is provided. In addition, the spacer 173 is detachable from the mesh member 171 via the opening and closing means 172 of the mesh member 171. In this embodiment, the spacer 173 is attached to the clothing body 1 via the mesh member 171, but the spacer 173 may be sewn directly to the clothing fabric C or may be detachably attached to the clothing fabric C by means of a hook-and-loop fastener or the like. In this case, the mesh member 171 may be unnecessary.

[0030] [(8) Means for securing space on the inner side of the back body] The space securing means 18 on the inner side of the back body is provided at a position above the fan mounting hole 13 on the inner side of the back body of the clothing main body 1, and is a means for ensuring that even when clothing is worn over the air-conditioned clothing 100 and the weight of the clothing worn on top of it is placed on the air-conditioned clothing 100, the gap between the fabric C of the back body of the clothing main body 1 and the wearer's body does not become narrower than the thickness of the spacer 183, thereby securing space for the air drawn into the clothing main body 1 by the fan 2 to circulate between the fabric C of the back body of the clothing main body 1 and the wearer's body. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the space securing means 18 on the inner side of the back body comprises a mesh member 181 provided on the inner side of the clothing body 1 so that its ends other than the upper end are fixed to the clothing fabric C, an opening / closing means 182 provided at the opening between the upper end of the mesh member 181 and the clothing fabric C of the clothing body 1 and allowing the opening to be opened and closed freely, and a spacer 183 stored in the space between the mesh member 181 and the clothing fabric C of the clothing body 1.

[0031] (Mesh-like material) As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the mesh member 181 is a roughly rectangular mesh member attached to the upper part of the fan mounting hole 13 on the inner surface of the clothing fabric C of the clothing body 1, and as shown in Figure 1, it is placed at the above-mentioned position on the inner surface of the clothing fabric C, and is joined to the above-mentioned position on the inner surface of the clothing fabric C by fixing the left and right ends and the bottom end to the clothing fabric C by sewing, gluing, or other methods. As a result, a bag-like space with an opening at the top is formed between the fabric C and the mesh member 181.

[0032] The specific configuration of the mesh member 181 is arbitrary as long as each opening of the mesh is large enough to prevent the spacers 183 from passing through and has an opening size large enough not to impede the flow of air inside the clothing body 1 via the spacers 183. In addition, any material can be used as long as it is strong enough to prevent the spacers 183 from falling off. In addition, there are no particular restrictions on the method of joining the mesh member 181 to the clothing fabric C as long as it does not come off due to the weight of the spacers 183. Alternatively, the mesh member itself may be formed into a bag shape, and an opening and closing means such as a hook-and-loop fastener may be provided at the opening of the bag-shaped mesh member, so that the spacer described below can be detachably stored in the bag. In this case, the mesh member can also be detachably attached to the fabric C by means of the hook-and-loop fastener or the like.

[0033] (Opening and closing means) The opening / closing means 182 is a means for freely opening and closing the opening formed between the upper end of the mesh member 181 and the clothing fabric C, and is configured, for example, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, by providing one side of a hook-and-loop fastener extending in the left-right direction near the upper end of the mesh member 181 and attaching the other side of the hook-and-loop fastener to the opposite part of the clothing fabric C, so that the area near the upper end of the mesh member 181 can be freely attached and detached to the clothing fabric C.

[0034] (spacer) The spacer 183 is a member having a space formed therein through which air can circulate, and is housed in the space between the mesh member 181 and the fabric C of the clothing body 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 3. The structure of the spacer 183 can be any structure that can secure space between the fabric C of the back of the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body for circulating the air drawn into the clothing body 1 by the fan 2, but as described for the outer surface space securing means 17, a spacer structure S as shown in Figure 4 can be used.

[0035] The spacer 183 is formed using the spacer structure S as described above so as to have a size that covers almost the entire mesh member 181 except for the portion where the opening and closing means 182 is provided. In addition, the spacer 183 is detachable from the mesh member 181 via the opening and closing means 182 of the mesh member 181. In this embodiment, the spacer 183 is attached to the clothing body 1 via the mesh member 181, but the spacer 183 may be sewn directly to the clothing fabric C or may be detachably attached to the clothing fabric C by means of a hook-and-loop fastener or the like. In this case, the mesh member 181 may be unnecessary.

[0036] [(9) Means for securing space on the inner side of the front body] The space securing means 19 on the inner side of the front body is provided on each side of the opening / closing means 11 on the inner side of the front body of the clothing main body 1, and is a means for ensuring that even when clothing is worn over the air-conditioned clothing 100 and the weight of the clothing worn on top of it is placed on the air-conditioned clothing 100, the gap between the fabric C of the front body of the clothing main body 1 and the wearer's body does not become narrower than the thickness of the spacer 193, thereby securing space for the circulation of air drawn into the clothing main body 1 by the fan 2 between the fabric C of the front body of the clothing main body 1 and the wearer's body. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the space securing means 19 on the inner side of the front body comprises a mesh-like member 191 provided on the inner side of the main clothing body 1 so that its ends other than the end along the opening / closing means 11 are fixed to the fabric C, an opening / closing means 192 provided at an opening between the end of the mesh-like member 191 along the opening / closing means 11 and the fabric C of the main clothing body 1 and allows the opening to be opened and closed freely, and a spacer 193 stored in the space between the mesh-like member 191 and the fabric C of the main clothing body 1.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the space securing means 19 on the inner side of the front body is provided so as to extend continuously from the part located in front of the wearer's torso when the clothing body 1 is worn to the part located above the wearer's shoulders.

[0038] (Mesh-like material) As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the mesh member 191 is a mesh member attached to the left and right sides of the opening and closing means 11 on the inner side of the fabric C of the clothing body 1, and as shown in Figure 1, it is placed at the above-mentioned position on the inner side of the fabric C, and is joined to the above-mentioned position on the inner side of the fabric C by fixing it to the fabric C by sewing, adhesive, etc., except for the end along the opening and closing means 11. As a result, a bag-like space with an opening along the opening / closing means 11 is formed between the fabric C and the mesh member 191.

[0039] The specific configuration of the mesh member 191 is arbitrary as long as each opening in the mesh is large enough to prevent the spacers 193 from passing through and has an opening size large enough not to impede the flow of air inside the clothing body 1 via the spacers 193. In addition, any material can be used as long as it is strong enough to prevent the spacers 193 from falling off. In addition, there are no particular restrictions on the method of joining the mesh member 191 to the clothing fabric C as long as it does not come off due to the weight of the spacers 193. Alternatively, the mesh member itself may be formed into a bag shape, and an opening and closing means such as a hook-and-loop fastener may be provided at the opening of the bag-shaped mesh member, so that the spacer described below can be detachably stored in the bag. In this case, the mesh member can also be detachably attached to the fabric C by means of the hook-and-loop fastener or the like.

[0040] (Opening and closing means) The opening / closing means 192 is a means for freely opening and closing the opening formed between the end of the mesh member 191 along the opening / closing means 11 and the fabric C, and is configured, for example, as shown in Figure 1, by providing one side of a hook-and-loop fastener near the end of the mesh member 191 along the opening / closing means 11 so that it extends along the end, and attaching the other side of the hook-and-loop fastener to the opposite part of the fabric C, so that the end of the mesh member 191 near the opening / closing means 11 can be freely attached and detached to the fabric C.

[0041] (spacer) The spacer 193 is a member having a space formed therein through which air can circulate, and is housed in the space between the mesh member 191 and the fabric C of the clothing body 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 3. The spacer 193 can be any type that can secure space between the fabric C of the front body of the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body for circulating the air introduced into the clothing body 1 by the fan 2, but as described for the outer surface space securing means 17, one having a spacer structure S as shown in Figure 4 can be used.

[0042] The spacer 193 is formed using the spacer structure S as described above so as to have a size that covers almost the entire mesh member 191 except for the portion where the opening and closing means 192 is provided. In addition, the spacer 193 is detachable from the mesh member 191 via the opening and closing means 192 of the mesh member 191. In this embodiment, the spacer 193 is attached to the clothing body 1 via the mesh member 191, but the spacer 193 may be sewn directly to the clothing fabric C or may be detachably attached to the clothing fabric C by means of a hook-and-loop fastener or the like. In this case, the mesh member 191 may be unnecessary.

[0043] [2 fans] 1 to 3, the fan 2 is attached to the clothing body 1 so as to pass through the fan mounting hole 13, and serves to introduce air into the space between the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body through the fan mounting hole 13. Necessary power is supplied to the fan 2 from the power supply unit 3 via a connection cable 4. The fan 2 is attached to the clothing body 1 by passing through the fan mounting hole 13, and the specific configuration is arbitrary as long as it can introduce air from the outer side to the inner side of the clothing body 1.

[0044] [3 Power supply section] The power supply unit 3 is a component for supplying power to the fan 2, and may include, for example, a lithium-ion battery pack with a safety protection circuit. As shown in Figure 1, the power supply unit 3 is connected to the fan 2 via a connection cable 4. The power supply unit 3 also includes a switch for turning the power supplied to the fan 2 on and off. The power supply unit 3 may have any specific configuration as long as it can supply power to the fan 2.

[0045] [4 Connection Cable] The connection cable 4 is a cable that connects the power supply unit 3 and the fan 2, and power required 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.

[0046] [Effects of the second embodiment] According to the air-conditioning garment 100 of this embodiment, an outer surface space securing means 17 is provided on the outer surface of the back body of the garment body 1 so as to cover the fan mounting hole 13 and the surrounding garment fabric C. As a result, even when other clothing is worn over the air-conditioned clothing 100, the clothing will not come into close contact with the fan 2 attached to the fan mounting hole 13 and the surrounding clothing fabric C, and air can be easily introduced from below the clothing body 1 through the spacer 173 inside the outer space securing means 17, so that even when other clothing is worn over the air-conditioned clothing 100, a decrease in cooling function can be suppressed.

[0047] Furthermore, since the outer surface space securing means 17 is formed by a large single spacer 173 so as to cover both of the two fans 2 and the surrounding clothing fabric C, a wide air flow passage can be formed on the outer surface side of the clothing body 1, including the area between the two fans 2, thereby further improving the above-mentioned effect.

[0048] Furthermore, by providing the outer surface space securing means 17 so as to reach the vicinity of the lower end of the back body of the clothing body 1, it becomes even easier to introduce air below the clothing body 1.

[0049] Furthermore, since the air-conditioned garment 100 is equipped with a space-securing means 18 on the inner side of the back body and a space-securing means 19 on the inner side of the front body, even when other clothing is worn over the air-conditioned garment 100, the weight of the clothing will cause the fabric C to adhere to the wearer's body, preventing the space for air to circulate within the air-conditioned garment 100 from being blocked. Therefore, even when other clothing is worn over the air-conditioned garment 100, a decrease in cooling function can be suppressed.

[0050] Furthermore, since the space securing means 19 on the inner side of the front body is formed to extend up to above the shoulders of the wearer, it is possible to secure a space for air to circulate continuously from the front of the wearer, even above the shoulders of the wearer, which are particularly prone to becoming clogged due to the weight of the clothing, thereby further enhancing the above-mentioned effect.

[0051] Furthermore, the outer surface space securing means 17, the rear body inner surface space securing means 18 and the front body inner surface space securing means 19 are all attached so that the spacers are stored in a bag-like space formed by a mesh member, making it easy to remove the spacers, for example, when washing the clothing body 1.

[0052] [Third Modification] In the air-conditioning garment 100 according to the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the space securing means 19 on the inner side of the front body is formed so as to extend continuously up to the part located above the wearer's shoulders on the inner side of the garment body 1. Alternatively, the space securing means 18 on the inner side of the back body may be formed so as to extend continuously up to the part located above the wearer's shoulders on the inner side of the garment body 1. Furthermore, the space securing means 18 on the inner side of the back body and the space securing means 19 on the inner side of the front body may be connected above the wearer's shoulders, and a continuous spacer may be provided on the inner side of the clothing body 1 from the front body to the back body.
