Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a martial arts tare (sash) worn around the waist when practicing martial arts such as kendo, naginata or juken-do. The martial arts tare of this invention is limited to the tare used in the above three types of martial arts used in modern competitions, etc. Note that the martial arts tare of this invention does not include Japanese armor used in ancient martial arts or kobudo, or Western armor. [Background technology]

[0002] As described in Patent Document 1, for example, martial arts tare used in kendo and the like has three o-tare attached to a belly band (tare string). The three o-tare are formed in a vertically long rectangular shape and are attached to the belly band so that they hang straight down from the belly band, i.e., so that the imaginary vertical center lines of the three o-tare are approximately parallel to each other. The o-tare is made of a cushioning material called a futon, which is made by sewing together a core member and a covering member that covers the core member.

[0003] When wearing a budo yotare, the central otare protects the front center of the waist, and the outer otare protects the front and sides of the waist. In martial arts such as kendo, participants move vigorously while striking with offensive weapons such as bamboo swords, so there is a risk that the offensive weapons will hit the sides and back of the waist, which are not protected by the outer otare. It could be considered to make the outer otare larger to cover a wider area around the waist, but this would make the budo yotare heavy and is not practical. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-131022 A, FIG. 7 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a martial arts tare that is about the same weight as a conventional martial arts tare, but can effectively protect the sides and rear of the waist. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The martial arts tare described in claim 1 of the claims, which was made to achieve the above-mentioned object, is a martial arts tare that has a central o-tare and two outer o-tare located on the left and right of the central o-tare attached to an abdominal belt, and is characterized in that the outer o-tare are attached to the abdominal belt at an angle such that the imaginary vertical center line of the outer o-tare becomes farther away from the imaginary vertical center line of the central o-tare as it goes downwards.

[0007] The martial arts hanging garment described in claim 2 is the same as that described in claim 1, and is characterized in that two small hanging garments are attached to the abdominal belt so as to hang in the gaps between the central large hanging garment and the outer large hanging garments on the left and right, and the small hanging garments are attached to the abdominal belt at an angle such that the imaginary vertical center line of the small hanging garment becomes farther away from the imaginary vertical center line of the central large hanging garment as it goes downward.

[0008] The manufacturing method for a martial arts tare described in claim 3 is characterized in that, from a martial arts tare that has a central o-tare and two outer o-tare located on the left and right of the central o-tare attached to an abdominal belt, the outer o-tare is removed, and the removed or newly prepared outer o-tare is attached to the abdominal belt at an angle such that the imaginary vertical center line of the outer o-tare becomes farther away from the imaginary vertical center line of the central o-tare as it goes downward. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The martial arts tare of the present invention is designed with the outer odare inclined so that the further it goes downwards, the further it moves away from the central odare, and the lower parts of the outer odare protrude outwards to cover areas that are particularly at risk of being hit by offensive weapons, so that while it weighs about the same as conventional martial arts tare, it can effectively protect by hanging it from the side to the back of the waist.

[0010] When the kotare is tilted so that it moves away from the central otare the further downward it goes, the bias in the overlapping areas of the kotare and the central otare, and the overlapping areas of the kotare and the outer otare, becomes smaller and more uniform compared to when the kotare is not tilted, so the directional bias in the shielding effect becomes smaller, and it is possible to more firmly prevent offensive weapons from penetrating inside the martial arts tare no matter what direction they are thrust from.

[0011] The method for manufacturing a martial arts tare of the present invention can manufacture the martial arts tare of the present invention using a conventional martial arts tare. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] 1 is a front view of a martial arts hanging pole to which the present invention is applied. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0014] Figure 1 shows a front view of a martial arts tare 1. This figure shows the martial arts tare 1 laid flat (planar) and viewed from the front. As shown in the figure, the martial arts tare 1 comprises a belly band 2, a central o-tare 3, outer o-tare 4, 4, ko-tare 5, 5 (ko-tare 5a and ko-tare 5b are shown in the figure), and tare strings 8, 8. Note that in this specification, terms indicating directions such as front, back, up, down, right, left, vertical, and horizontal are indicated based on the direction as seen by the wearer wearing the martial arts tare 1.

[0015] The abdominal belt 2, also known as the front belt, is a belt-like member that is placed around the wearer's abdomen. The figure shows an example of an abdominal belt 2 with a uniform width. The abdominal belt 2 may also have a shape in which the central portion of the belt bulges upward and downward and the upper and lower edges are curved. Hanging strings 8, 8 are attached to both ends of the abdominal belt 2.

[0016] The hanging cord 8 is a string-like member that is wrapped around the waist and tied to attach the belly band 2 (martial arts hanging cord 1). Because the hanging cord 8 is a long string, the tip of the hanging cord 8 is not shown in the figure. The belly band 2 and hanging cord 8 are the same as those found on conventional martial arts hanging cords.

[0017] The abdominal band 2 is provided with a central o-tare 3 and two outer o-tare 4, 4 located on the left and right of the central o-tare 3.

[0018] The central otare 3 is made of the same material and has the same shape as the otare used in traditional martial arts tare, and is designed to protect the front center of the waist. The central otare 3 is sewn to the belly band 2 so that it hangs downward from the lower center of the belly band 2. The central otare 3 is formed in a vertically long rectangle or a vertically long quadrangle such as a vertically long trapezoid. The central otare 3 may also have rounded (R) corners on the lower side.

[0019] In the figure, the imaginary vertical center line A of the central Otare 3 is shown by a dashed dotted line. The imaginary vertical center line A is an imaginary line located equidistant from both sides (left and right) of the central Otare 3. The central Otare 3 is formed in a shape that is symmetrical with the imaginary center line A as the axis of symmetry. The imaginary vertical center line A intersects at a right angle (perpendicular to) the edge (bottom side) of the lower center of the abdominal belt 2.

[0020] The outer otare 4 is made of the same material as that used in conventional martial arts tare, but its shape is different from that of conventional outer otare. The outer otare 4 is sewn to the belly band 2 so that it hangs diagonally outward from the lower outer part of the belly band 2. The two outer otare 4, 4 are formed symmetrically, and are attached to the belly band 2 in a positional relationship and shape that is linearly symmetrical with respect to the imaginary vertical center line A of the central otare 3 as the axis of symmetry. The outer otare 4 has a shape like a vertically long rectangle that has been tilted and attached to the belly band 2 (its upper part is shaped to follow the bottom edge of the belly band 2). In this example, the outer otare 4 is formed in a shape that is like a tilted version of the central otare 3. The outer otare 4 may also have rounded (R) shapes at the lower corners.

[0021] In the figure, the imaginary vertical center line B of the outer Otare 4 (for example, the Otare 4 on the left) is indicated by a dashed dotted line. The imaginary vertical center line B is an imaginary line located equidistant from both sides of the outer Otare 4. The outer Otare 4 is attached to the abdominal belt 2 at an angle such that the imaginary vertical center line B of the outer Otare 4 becomes farther away from the imaginary vertical center line A of the central Otare 3 as it goes downward.

[0022] The imaginary vertical center line A of the central large hanging 3 and the imaginary vertical center line B of the outer large hanging 4 approach each other as they go upward, and intersect at an intersection point P. The inclination angle α of the imaginary vertical center line B relative to the imaginary vertical center line A is arbitrary, but is, for example, 10° to 50°. In the same figure, an example of an inclination angle α = 20° is shown.

[0023] The length of the outer otare 4 in the vertical direction (along the imaginary vertical center line B) is arbitrary, but the figure shows an example in which the lowest part of the central otare 3 and the lowest part of the outer otare 4 are located on the imaginary horizontal line U, i.e., at the same height. In this example, the outer otare 4 has a shape that is tilted from the central otare 3, so the outer otare 4 and the central otare 3 have roughly the same weight. In other words, martial arts tare 1 has roughly the same weight as conventional martial arts tare.

[0024] The martial arts tare 1 can protect the wearer's rear by tilting the outer otare 4 so that its lower part overhangs outward. In martial arts such as kendo, a torso (not shown), a type of martial arts protective gear, is worn immediately above the martial arts tare 1, and the lower part of the wearer's rear (near the thighs) is at greater risk of being hit by offensive armor than the upper part of the waist. Therefore, by shaping the outer otare 4 so that its lower part overhangs outward as shown in the figure, it is possible to effectively protect the wearer's rear parts, which are at greater risk of being hit by offensive armor.

[0025] In other words, rather than enlarging the outer o-tare of a conventional martial arts tare all the way to the rear, it is more efficient to protect the areas at high risk by making the outer o-tare 4 in an inclined shape like the martial arts tare 1 of the present invention, and it is also possible to reduce the weight.

[0026] The gap (distance) between the central otare 3 and the outer otare 4 is optional, but it is preferable that it is narrow so that offensive weapons such as bamboo swords do not easily get caught in the gap. The central otare 3 and the outer otare 4 may be in contact with each other.

[0027] The shape of the outer otatsuki 4 is arbitrary, and for example, it may be formed with a narrower or wider width than the central otatsuki 3. Furthermore, the shape of the base (lower side) of the outer otatsuki 4 is arbitrary, and for example, the base of the outer otatsuki 4 may be formed in a shape that follows the imaginary horizontal line U.

[0028] Two kotare 5, 5 are attached to the belly band 2 so as to hang in the gaps between the central otare 3 and the outer otare 4, 4 on the left and right. The kotare 5 is sewn to the belly band 2 so as to be positioned behind the central otare 3 and the outer otare 4. The kotare 5 is made of a futon. In the same figure, different kotare 5a, 5b are shown on the left and right to show two different shapes of kotare 5. In reality, two kotare 5, 5 of the same type (two kotare 5a, 5a or two kotare 5b, 5b) are attached to the belly band 2. Either kotare 5a or kotare 5b may be used in the martial arts tare 1 of the present invention.

[0029] The small hangings 5a are similar to conventional small hangings and are formed in a vertically elongated quadrilateral shape (rectangle or trapezoid) that is smaller than the large hangings 3. The small hangings 5a may also have rounded (r-shaped) lower corners. In the same figure, the imaginary vertical center line Ka of the small hangings 5a is indicated by a dashed dotted line. The imaginary vertical center line Ka is an imaginary line located equidistant from both sides of the small hangings 5a. The small hangings 5a are attached to the abdominal band 2 so that their imaginary vertical center line Ka is approximately parallel to the imaginary vertical center line A of the central large hanging 3. The two small hangings 5a, 5a are formed symmetrically and attached to the abdominal band 2 in a positional relationship and shape that are symmetrical about the imaginary vertical center line A of the central large hanging 3.

[0030] As shown in the figure, the small hanging 5a shields the gap between the central large hanging 3 and the outer large hanging 4, preventing offensive weapons from getting inside the martial arts hanging 1.

[0031] On the other hand, the small hanging part 5b is formed in a shape like a tilted vertically long rectangle (the upper part is shaped to follow the lower side of the abdominal band 2). In this example, the small hanging part 5b is formed in a shape like a tilted small hanging part 5a. The lower corners of the small hanging part 5b may also be formed in an R-shape (rounded shape).

[0032] In the figure, the imaginary vertical center line Kb of the small hangings 5b (for example, the small hangings 5b on the right) is shown by a dot-dash line. The imaginary vertical center line Kb is an imaginary line located equidistant from both sides of the small hangings 5b. The small hangings 5b are attached to the abdominal band 2 at an angle such that the imaginary vertical center line Kb of the small hangings 5b becomes more distant as it goes downward relative to the imaginary vertical center line A of the central large hanging 3. The two small hangings 5b, 5b are formed symmetrically and attached to the abdominal band 2 in a positional relationship and shape that is line-symmetrical with respect to the imaginary vertical center line A of the central large hanging 3 as the axis of symmetry.

[0033] The imaginary vertical center line A of the central large hanging 3 and the imaginary vertical center line Kb of the small hanging 5b approach each other as they go upward, and intersect at, for example, intersection Q. The same figure shows an example in which intersection Q is the same point as intersection P of imaginary vertical center line A and imaginary vertical center line B. The position of intersection Q and the position of intersection P may be different. The inclination angle β of imaginary vertical center line Kb relative to imaginary vertical center line A is arbitrary, but is, for example, 5° to 50°. The same figure shows an example in which inclination angle β = 10°.

[0034] The inclination angle α of the outer large hanging 4 and the inclination angle β of the small hanging 5b may be the same or different. The inclination angle β of the small hanging 5b may be set to any angle that can shield the gap between the central large hanging 3 and the outer large hanging 4. The inclination angle β is generally in the range of 1 / 4 × inclination angle α≦inclination angle β≦inclination angle α. For example, it is preferable to set the inclination angle β to 1 / 2 of the inclination angle α.

[0035] By tilting the small tare 5b to the same side as the outer large tare 4, the small tare 5b shields the gap between the central large tare 3 and the outer large tare 4, and the overlapping area between the small tare 5b and the central large tare 3 and the overlapping area between the small tare 5b and the outer large tare 4 is reduced and made uniform, thereby more reliably preventing offensive weapons from getting inside through the gaps in the martial arts tare 1.

[0036] Next, a method for manufacturing a martial arts tare to which the present invention is applied will be described. This method for manufacturing a martial arts tare is a method for manufacturing a martial arts tare 1 to which the present invention is applied, using a conventional martial arts tare that has been commonly used in the past.

[0037] The manufacturing method for martial arts tare to which the present invention is applied involves removing the outer otare from a (conventional) martial arts tare, which is provided with a central otare and two outer otare pieces located on either side of the central otare, and attaching the removed or newly prepared outer otare to a belly band 2 at an angle such that the imaginary vertical center line B of the outer otare 4, 4 becomes increasingly distant as it goes downward relative to an imaginary vertical center line A of the central otare 3, as shown in Figure 1.

[0038] The kotare may be removed from a (conventional) martial arts obi, and the removed or newly prepared kotare may be attached to the belly band 2 at an angle such that the imaginary vertical center line Kb of the kotare moves further away from the imaginary vertical center line A of the central otare 3 as it goes downwards, as shown in Figure 1.

[0039] It is also possible to use an outer otare that has been removed from a conventional martial arts tare by cutting away unnecessary portions as appropriate. For example, the upper part of the removed otare can be cut diagonally so that it fits along the bottom edge of the belly band 2. It is also possible to add components to the removed outer otare before use. For example, a cushion member can be added so that the upper part of the removed otare has a diagonal shape that fits along the belly band 2. When preparing a new outer otare, it is sufficient to use one with the shape of the outer otare 4 shown in Figure 1.

[0040] It is also possible to use a kotare that has been removed from a conventional martial arts kimono by cutting off unnecessary portions as needed. For example, the upper part of the detached kotare can be cut diagonally so that it fits along the bottom edge of the belly band 2. It is also possible to add components to the detached kotare as needed. For example, a bedding member can be added so that the upper part of the detached kotare has a diagonal shape that fits along the belly band 2. When preparing a new kotare, it is sufficient to use one with the shape of kotare 5b shown in Figure 1. [Explanation of symbols]
