Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for making light-emitting members detachable from air-conditioning clothing equipped with a fan. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, air-conditioning clothing has been used to prevent workers from raising their body temperature when working outdoors in the summer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Such air-conditioning clothing has a fan exposed to the outside, and is configured to dry sweat by circulating the air taken in by the fan to the inside facing the body.

[0003] Meanwhile, there is known a technique for attaching light-emitting bodies to clothing to ensure the safety of workers at nighttime construction sites and the like (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Patent Document 2 describes a configuration in which clothing equipped with light-emitting bodies (light-emitting parts) is worn on the body by wrapping it around the torso.

[0008] Furthermore, it is preferable that the air-conditioning clothing has a first rear engaging portion formed at the rear end of the first band, a second rear engaging portion formed at the rear end of the second band, and a first rear engaging portion capable of engaging the first rear engaging portion and a second rear engaging portion capable of engaging the second rear engaging portion formed on the rear side of the outer surface of the outer fabric.

[0009] In addition, in the air-conditioning clothing, it is preferable that the light-emitting member includes a power supply cord extending from the front end of the first band, and that a hole is formed through the outer fabric for inserting the power supply cord.

[0010] In addition, in the air-conditioning clothing, it is preferable that a storage section be formed near the hole on the inner surface of the outer fabric to store a battery that supplies power to the light-emitting element via the power supply cord, and that the power supply cord and the battery be detachable.

[0011] In addition, in the air-conditioning clothing, it is preferable that a reflective material is provided on the surface of the light-emitting member.

[0012] In addition, in the air-conditioning clothing, it is preferable that the light-emitting members are detachable, and that reflective material is provided on the outer surface of the outer fabric at locations covered by the light-emitting members.

[0013] In the air-conditioning garment, it is preferable that a reflective material is provided on the surface of the insertion belt. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] Hereinafter, an air-conditioning garment (hereinafter simply referred to as "garment") 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that components with the same reference numerals in each drawing are the same components, and their description will be omitted.

[0017] The garment 1 according to this embodiment is intended for outdoor wear by security guards and workers. The garment 1 comprises an outer fabric 2, a lining 3 (see FIG. 8), and a fan 4 (see FIG. 2) that is provided between the outer fabric 2 and the lining 3 and is exposed to the outside. The garment 1 according to this embodiment is an air-conditioning garment that allows air taken in by the fan 4 to circulate inside the outer fabric 2 (between the outer fabric 2 and the lining 3).

[0018] Although the clothing 1 according to this embodiment is configured as a long-sleeved jacket as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the air-conditioning clothing according to the present invention can also be configured as a short-sleeved jacket or a sleeveless vest.

[0019] 8, clothing 1 according to this embodiment has ventilation holes 3a made of mesh material formed in multiple locations on the lining 3. Air taken in by a fan 4 in clothing 1 is discharged through the ventilation holes 3a, allowing the air to be discharged around the neck, back, armpits, etc. of a user wearing clothing 1. Therefore, when the user of clothing 1 sweats, the evaporation of sweat is promoted, thereby cooling the user's body.

[0020] In the garment 1 according to this embodiment, a plurality of inner pockets are formed in the lining 3. Of the inner pockets, the inner pocket on the right side of the left half of the user's body (in FIG. 8) functions as the storage section 11 that stores the switch 56 and battery 57 of the light-emitting member 5, as shown in FIG. 1. In addition, the lining 3 is formed with a storage section zipper F for storing the battery of the fan 4.

[0021] 1 and 2, clothing 1 according to this embodiment has luminous members 5 provided on the outer surface of outer fabric 2. A user wearing clothing 1 in a dark place such as at night or inside a tunnel can alert others to their presence by the light emitted by luminous members 5, thereby increasing safety.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 5, in the clothing 1 according to this embodiment, the light emitting member 5 is configured to include a first band 51, a second band 52, and a connecting band 53 that connects the rear of the first band 51 to the rear of the second band 52. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first band 51 is positioned on the clothing 1 so as to extend from the back of the user, above the left shoulder, to the front of the torso. Similarly, the second band 52 is positioned on the back of the user, above the right shoulder, to the front of the torso.

[0023] In the light-emitting member 5 according to this embodiment, a plurality of light-emitting bodies 54 are provided on the surfaces of the first band 51 and the second band 52. Each light-emitting body 54 is composed of an LED. In the clothing 1, the light-emitting member 5 emits light when electricity is applied to the light-emitting bodies 54.

[0024] A power supply cord 55 for supplying power to the light-emitting body 54 extends from the front end of the first band 51. As shown in Figure 5, the power supply cord 55 is configured to be detachable from a switch 56 and a battery 57. The user of the clothing 1 can start / stop the supply of power from the battery 57 to the light-emitting body 54 by turning the switch 56 on / off.

[0025] In this embodiment, reflective materials are provided on the surfaces of the first band 51, the second band 52, and the connecting band 53. As a result, even when the light emitters 54 are not energized and do not emit light, the light is reflected when it hits the light-emitting members 5 from vehicle headlights or the like, making it easier for drivers to notice the presence of the user of the clothing 1. In this embodiment, the reflective materials used in the light-emitting members 5 or the clothing 1 can be flexible reflective materials such as beads or prisms.

[0026] 1 and 5, in the light emitting member 5 according to this embodiment, a first front locked portion 51f is formed at the front end of the first band 51. Also, a second front locked portion 52f is formed at the front end of the second band 52. Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, a first rear locked portion 51b is formed at the rear end of the first band 51. Also, a second rear locked portion 52b is formed at the rear end of the second band 52.

[0027] 1 and 2, a plurality of threading belts 7 are provided on the outer surface of the outer fabric 2 of the garment 1, capable of holding the first strap 51 and the second strap 52 in a position that extends from the back of the torso, over the upper sides of both the left and right shoulders, to the front of the torso. Specifically, the threading belts 7 through which the first strap 51 and the second strap 52 are threaded are formed at four locations on each of the front and back of the torso. In other words, the first strap 51 and the second strap 52 are each held in a state where they are threaded through the threading belts 7 at four locations (two on the front and two on the back).

[0028] 3, a first front locking portion 8f capable of locking the first front locked portion 51f and a second front locking portion 9f capable of locking the second front locked portion 52f are formed on the front side of the outer surface of the outer fabric 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a first rear locking portion 8b capable of locking the first rear locked portion 51b and a second rear locking portion 9b capable of locking the second rear locked portion 52b are formed on the rear side of the outer surface of the outer fabric 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, a hole 10 for inserting a power cord 55 of the light emitting member 5 is formed near the first front engaged portion 51f in the outer fabric 2. The hole 10 connects the outside of the outer fabric 2 with the inside of the storage space 11. In other words, near the hole 10 on the inner surface of the outer fabric 2, a storage space 11 is formed that can store a battery 57 that supplies power to the light emitting member 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, when assembling the light-emitting member 5 to the clothing 1, as shown in Figure 6, the switch 56 and battery 57 are removed from the power cord 55, and the first band 51 and the second band 52 are inserted through the insertion belt 7 from below the rear of the clothing 1. At this time, the first rear latched portion 51b of the first band 51 is latched to the first rear latched portion 8b, and the second rear latched portion 52b of the second band 52 is latched to the second rear latched portion 9b.

[0031] 7, the first band 51 and the second band 52 are inserted through the insertion belt 7 from above the front of the garment 1. At this time, the first front latched portion 51f of the first band 51 is latched to the first front latching portion 8f, and the second front latched portion 52f of the second band 52 is latched to the second front latching portion 9f.

[0032] With the light-emitting member 5 attached to the clothing 1 as described above, the power cord 55 is inserted into the hole 10, and the power cord 55 is connected to the switch 56 and the battery 57 inside the storage section 11. This allows the light-emitting member 5 to be attached to the clothing 1 in a state in which the light-emitting body 54 is capable of emitting light, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

[0033] According to the garment 1 of this embodiment, even when the fan 4 draws air into the garment 1 and causes the outer fabric 2 to expand, the light emitting members 5 follow the outer fabric 2 and displace laterally. This prevents the light emitting members 5 from hindering the expansion of the outer fabric 2, allowing the garment 1 to fully demonstrate its air conditioning function. Furthermore, because the light emitting members 5 are positioned along the surface of the outer fabric 2 by the insertion belt 7, the light emitting members 5 do not slacken when the air conditioning function is not in use.

[0034] In the garment 1 according to this embodiment, the light-emitting member 5 is formed with a power supply cord 55 extending from the front end of the first band 51. The outer fabric 2 has a hole 10 formed therethrough for inserting the power supply cord 55. This allows the power supply cord 55 to be guided into the outer fabric 2 through the hole 10, preventing the power supply cord 55 from being exposed on the outer surface of the garment 1 and allowing the power supply cord 55 to be stored compactly.

[0035] Furthermore, in the garment 1 according to this embodiment, a storage compartment 11 capable of storing a battery 57 that supplies power to the light-emitting member 5 via a power supply cord 55 is formed near the hole 10 on the inner surface of the outer fabric 2 (the inner surface of the lining fabric 3 in this embodiment). The power supply cord 55 and the battery 57 are detachable. This allows the power supply cord 55 inserted into the hole 10 to be connected to the switch 56 and the battery 57 inside the storage compartment 11.

[0036] Thus, with the clothing 1 according to this embodiment, the clothing 1 and the light-emitting component 5 can be used continuously with the switch 56 and the battery 57 stored in the storage section 11. Furthermore, since there is no need to put the battery 57 and the like in the outer pocket of the clothing 1, the usability of the outer pocket is improved and the battery 57 can be prevented from falling out of the outer pocket.

[0037] 3 and 4, the clothing 1 according to this embodiment has surface reflective materials 6 provided at multiple locations on the outer surface of the outer fabric 2. The clothing 1 also has detachable light-emitting members 5, and portions of the surface reflective material 6 are covered with the light-emitting members 5. As a result, even when the light-emitting members 5 are removed from the clothing 1, the light is reflected when it hits the surface reflective material 6, making it easier for drivers to notice the presence of the user of the clothing 1.

[0038] 3 and 4, the clothing 1 according to this embodiment also has a reflective material on the surface of the insertion belt 7. As a result, even when the light-emitting members 5 are removed from the clothing 1, the light is reflected when it hits the insertion belt 7 that covers the outer reflective material 6, making it easier for drivers to notice the presence of the user of the clothing 1.
