Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] In the above-described air-cooling garment device, water contained in the water retention means is vaporized by air driven by a fan, and the air whose temperature has been lowered by the heat of vaporization of the water is supplied into the garment body, resulting in a high air-cooling effect.

[0007] However, since there is a limit to the amount of water that can be held by the water retention mechanism, it is necessary to frequently remove the water evaporation case from the fan case, replenish the water retention mechanism with water, and then reattach the fan case to the water evaporation case. This process is extremely troublesome for the worker, making the cooling suit or cooling suit device inconvenient to use.

[0008] Therefore, this disclosure aims to improve usability by making the removal and subsequent installation of the water vaporization means easier. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To achieve the above objective, the cooling garment according to this disclosure comprises a garment body and a pocket provided on the back side of the garment body for storing a moisture evaporation means. The garment body is provided with ventilation holes to allow air to circulate between the front side of the garment body and the inside of the pocket, and the pocket fabric constituting the pocket is provided with a fan mounting opening.

[0010] Furthermore, the peripheral edge of the fan mounting opening in the pocket fabric may be elastic.

[0011] Furthermore, the pocket fabric may have a main body portion and a fan mounting body that is less elastic than the main body portion. In this case, the fan mounting opening can be provided on the fan mounting body.

[0012] The pocket may have an entrance / exit portion for the vaporization means and an installation portion for the vaporization means provided on the back side of the entrance / exit portion. In this case, the opening area of ​​the installation portion can be smaller than the opening area of ​​the entrance / exit portion.

[0013] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet of the moisture evaporation means may be provided on the surface side of the garment body.

[0014] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet of the moisture evaporation means may be provided in the area from the side of the garment body to the front of the garment body on the surface side of the garment body.

[0015] Furthermore, the ventilation openings of the garment body may be covered by ventilation covers.

[0016] Furthermore, the ventilation openings of the garment body and the fan mounting openings of the pocket fabric may be arranged so that at least a portion of them overlap when viewed from the surface side of the garment body.

[0017] Furthermore, the cooling garment device may include a cooling garment, a moisture evaporation means that can be easily inserted into and removed from a pocket of the cooling garment, and a fan that can be easily attached to the fan mounting opening of the pocket fabric.

[0018] Furthermore, the air intake side of the fan may be located inside the pocket, and the air exhaust side of the fan may be located outside the pocket on the back side of the garment.

[0019] Furthermore, the moisture-evaporating means stored in the pocket may be pressed against the back side of the garment body by the fan attached to the fan mounting opening due to the elastic force of the pocket fabric.

[0020] Furthermore, the vaporization means may include a case having an air inlet and an air outlet, and a water-impregnated retaining body mounted inside the case. A curved portion can be provided around the outer periphery of the case, and the case located on the air intake side of the fan may have a shape in which the central portion protrudes more towards the garment body than the outer periphery. [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] As described above, according to the air-cooled clothing according to the present disclosure, the removal operation of the vaporization means and the subsequent wearing operation can be easily performed, and it can be made user-friendly. That is, in the air-cooled clothing according to the present disclosure, since the vaporization means is structured to be stored in a pocket on the back side of the clothing body, the removal operation of the vaporization means and the subsequent wearing operation can be easily performed, making it user-friendly.

[0022] Also, if the vaporization means is installed in the pocket inside the clothing body, the air from the ventilation openings of the clothing body is supplied to the vaporization means by the fan-driven air flow. As this air vaporizes the water in the vaporization means, it becomes cold air, and this cold air is supplied into the clothing body by the fan, resulting in high comfort.

[0023] Furthermore, since both the vaporization means and the fan can be arranged inside the clothing body, during work, the objects around the work do not directly hit the vaporization means or the fan, resulting in good workability.

[0025] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following description of preferred embodiments is essentially illustrative and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

[0026] In Figures 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes the garment body worn by, for example, a worker performing various tasks. A zipper 2 is provided on the front of the garment body 1, allowing the front of the garment body 1 to be opened and closed with the zipper 2. A characteristic feature of this embodiment is that, as shown in Figure 3, a pocket 4 for storing the dehydration means 3 (see Figures 8 to 11) is provided on the back side of the garment body 1. That is, the air-cooled garment A according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the garment body 1 and a pocket 4 for storing the dehydration means provided on the back side of the garment body 1. In this embodiment, the pocket 4 is provided on the left and right sides of the garment body 1, but it is not limited to this, and only one pocket 4 may be provided. Furthermore, the air-cooled garment device B according to the present invention comprises the air-cooled garment A, the dehydration means 3, and a fan 13 (shown in Figure 12, etc.).

[0027] First, let's describe the structure of the garment body 1. The garment body 1 is provided with two sleeves, but these sleeves are optional. As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the garment body 1 is provided with rectangular ventilation openings 5 ​​to allow air to circulate between the surface of the garment body 1 and the inside of the pocket 4. The ventilation openings 5 ​​are made up of openings formed in a part of the garment body 1. These ventilation openings 5 ​​are covered by a ventilation cover 6. The ventilation cover 6 is made of a breathable material such as mesh, and is provided on the garment body 1. The position of the ventilation openings 5 ​​corresponds to, for example, the waist or lower back of the wearer wearing the garment body 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, since pockets 4 are provided on both the left and right sides of the lower part of the garment body 1, ventilation openings 5 ​​are also provided on both the left and right sides of the garment body 1. The pocket fabric 7 that constitutes the pockets 4 is positioned on the back side of the garment body 1 so as to cover the ventilation openings 5.

[0029] Specifically, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, pocket 4 includes a pocket fabric 7 that covers the ventilation opening 5 on the back side of the ventilation opening 5 (the back side of the garment body 1). By sewing the periphery of the pocket fabric 7 to the garment body 1, pocket 4 is formed by the pocket fabric 7 and a part of the garment body 1.

[0030] Figures 4 and 5 show the left pocket 4 of the garment body 1 in Figure 2, and as shown in Figure 2, a similar pocket 4 is also provided on the right side of the garment body 1.

[0031] These left and right pockets 4 are symmetrical with respect to the center line (a line extending vertically through the center in the left-right direction) on the back of the garment body 1. Therefore, we will explain the left pocket 4, and omit the explanation for the right one to avoid complicating the explanation.

[0032] In a plan view, the pocket fabric 7 has a rectangular shape at one end (the right side in Figure 5, towards the center of the garment body 1), as shown in Figure 5, while the other end (the left side in Figure 5, towards the outside of the garment body 1) has a shape that extends upward from the top edge of the rectangle and downward from the bottom edge of the rectangle. As shown in Figure 5, the outer perimeter of this shaped pocket fabric 7 is sewn to the garment body 1 with sewing thread 8. That is, the edge of one end of the pocket fabric 7 extends linearly in the vertical direction. The upper edge of the pocket fabric 7 extends linearly in the horizontal direction at one end, while the other end of the upper edge of the pocket fabric 7 slopes upward as it approaches the other end. Similarly, the lower edge of the pocket fabric 7 extends linearly in the horizontal direction at one end, while the other end of the lower edge of the pocket fabric 7 slopes downward as it approaches the other end. In this way, by forming the other end of the upper edge and the other end of the lower edge of the pocket fabric 7 so that they move further apart from each other as they approach the other end, the vertical dimension of the opening 18 (described later) of the pocket 4 can be increased.

[0033] Furthermore, in the state in which the pocket fabric 7 is sewn to the garment body 1, a space 9 for housing the moisture evaporation means 3 is provided between the pocket fabric 7 and the back side of the garment body 1 facing it. Also, as shown in Figure 5, the pocket fabric 7 is provided with a circular fan mounting opening 10. When viewed from the front side of the garment body 1, the ventilation opening 5 provided in the garment body 1 and the fan mounting opening 10 provided in the pocket fabric 7 are arranged so that at least a portion of them overlap each other. For example, the entire ventilation opening 5 may overlap with the fan mounting opening 10, the entire fan mounting opening 10 may overlap with the ventilation opening 5, or only a portion of each opening may overlap.

[0034] The pocket fabric 7 is elastic. Elasticity means that when the pocket fabric 7 is pulled, it stretches, but when the pulling force is removed, it returns to its original size. Because the pocket fabric 7 has this elasticity, if the pocket fabric 7 is kept pulled, it will constantly generate a restorative force that tries to return it to its original size.

[0035] Since the pocket fabric 7 is made of an elastic fabric, the periphery of the fan mounting opening 10 in the pocket fabric 7 is also elastic. The fan mounting opening 10 is formed on a rectangular fan mounting body 11. The fan mounting body 11 is a component that makes up part of the pocket fabric 7, and the outer periphery of this fan mounting body 11 is sewn to the main body of the pocket fabric 7 with sewing thread 12, as shown in Figure 5. In other words, the pocket fabric 7 has a main body and a fan mounting body 11 that is less elastic than the main body.

[0036] In this case, the fan mounting body 11 in the pocket fabric 7 is provided with an opening (not shown) that is smaller in diameter than the fan mounting body 11, and the fan mounting body 11 covers this smaller opening.

[0037] Let's continue with a further explanation of the pocket fabric 7 and the fan mounting body 11. The pocket fabric 7 can be formed using, for example, an elastic fabric such as TC6161 or TW43061 manufactured by Nippon Stretch Co., Ltd. In other words, this pocket fabric 7 is made of a material that is elastic, absorbent, and quick-drying.

[0038] In contrast, the fan mounting body 11 is made of a material with lower elasticity than the pocket fabric 7 (for example, cotton). The fan mounting body 11 prioritizes the stable attachment of the fan 13, as shown in Figure 6, over elasticity.

[0039] As shown in Figure 6, the fan 13 comprises a fan case 16 having an air intake port 14 and an air exhaust port 15, a blade 17 rotatably mounted inside the fan case 16, and a motor 17A that rotates the blade 17. Power is supplied to the motor 17A from a battery (not shown). The central part of the fan case 16 on the air intake port 14 side is shaped to gradually curve from its outer circumference and protrude towards the garment body 1. Also, as is clear from Figure 6, the air intake port 14 side of the fan 13 is located within the space 9 of the pocket 4. Furthermore, the air exhaust port 15 side of the fan 13 is located inside the garment body 1, outside the pocket 4.

[0040] In the state where the outer periphery of the pocket fabric 7 is sewn to the garment body 1 with sewing thread 8, the space 9 formed between the pocket fabric 7 and the back side of the garment body 1 opposite it is composed of an entrance / exit portion 18 of the moisture evaporation means 3 with a large opening area, and a mounting portion 19 for the moisture evaporation means 3 provided behind the entrance / exit portion 18. The entrance / exit portion 18 is the part for inserting the moisture evaporation means 3 into and removing it from the mounting portion 19. The mounting portion 19 is the part for housing the moisture evaporation means 3, and when in use, the moisture evaporation means 3 is held in a state where it is housed in the mounting portion 19.

[0041] The opening area of ​​the installation section 19 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the entrance / exit section 18. That is, the vertical dimension of the entrance / exit section 18 is longer than the vertical dimension of the installation section 19, which makes it possible to easily insert the dehydration means 3 into the entrance / exit section 18. In addition, the portion of the pocket fabric 7 that forms the entrance / exit section 18 is set so that the vertical dimension becomes longer towards the front of the entrance / exit section 18, so that after the dehydration means 3 is inserted into the entrance / exit section 18, it is guided to the installation section 19 by the upper and lower parts of the pocket fabric 7, making insertion into the installation section 19 easy.

[0042] The opening 18, formed by sewing the pocket fabric 7 to the garment body 1, is located on the surface side of the garment body 1, specifically in the area from the side of the garment body 1 to the front of the garment body 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 4. The front of the opening 18 is provided with a zipper 20 that opens when pulled down from above and closes when pulled up from below. In other words, the opening 18 opens when the zipper 20 is pulled down, allowing the dehydration means 3 to be inserted into the pocket 4 through the opened opening 18, and then the dehydration means 3 is pushed into the installation part 19 as shown in Figure 12 to make it usable. The reason why the opening 18 is located on the surface side of the garment body 1, specifically in the area from the side of the garment body 1 to the front of the garment body 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, is to allow the wearer of the garment body 1 to visually confirm the position of the zipper 20 while wearing the garment body 1. In other words, with the entrance / exit 18 visible, the dehydration means 3 can be inserted into the pocket 4 from the entrance / exit 18, and then, as shown in Figure 12, the dehydration means 3 can be pushed into the installation part 19 to enter a state of normal use. Furthermore, when pulling the dehydration means 3 out of the pocket 4, the dehydration means 3 can be pulled out of the pocket 4 while the entrance / exit 18 is visible. This makes it easy to insert and remove the dehydration means 3 from the pocket 4, resulting in a user-friendly design. Note that instead of the zipper 20, buttons or the like may be provided, as long as there is a component that can open and close the entrance / exit 18.

[0043] Here, we will describe the water vaporization means 3. As shown in Figures 8 to 11, the water vaporization means 3 consists of a case 23 having an air inlet 21 on the front side and an air outlet 22 on the back side, and a water-impregnated holder 24 installed inside the case 23. The water-impregnated holder 24 is made by arranging a strip of absorbent cloth in a meandering manner inside the case 23. In this state, the airflow from the air inlet 21 to the air outlet 22 flows through the surface and gaps between the strips of the water-impregnated holder 24, causing the water impregnated in the water-impregnated holder 24 to vaporize, and the resulting cooler air flows out to the air outlet 22. In other words, the water vaporization means 3 is a device that generates cool air by utilizing the heat of vaporization of water.

[0044] As shown in Figure 8, a curved section 25 is provided around the outer periphery of the case 23. The fan (also called a blower) 13, as explained using Figure 6 above, is composed of a fan case 16 having an air intake port 14 and an air exhaust port 15, and blades 17 provided inside the fan case 16. As shown in Figure 6, the central part of the air intake port 14 in the fan case 16 curves gradually from its outer periphery and protrudes toward the garment body 1. In other words, the central part of the fan case 16 protrudes toward the garment body 1 more than the outer periphery.

[0045] Thus, the following are extremely significant features of this embodiment: (1) the central part of the air intake port 14 of the fan 13 is curved from the outer circumference and protrudes toward the garment body 1; (2) a curved portion 25 is provided around the outer periphery of the case 23 of the moisture evaporation means 3, as shown in Figure 8; (3) the opening area of ​​the entrance portion 18 of the pocket 4 is increased, and the opening area of ​​the installation portion 19 of the pocket 4 is decreased; and (4) the pocket fabric 7 constituting the pocket 4 is made of a material that is elastic, absorbent, and quick-drying.

[0046] This will be explained in accordance with actual usage. First, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the fan 13 is attached to the fan mounting port 10 of the pocket fabric 7. At this time, as shown in Figure 6, the air intake port 14 side of the fan 13 is positioned inside the space 9 of the pocket 4. Furthermore, the air exhaust port 15 side of the fan 13 is positioned inside the garment body 1 outside the pocket 4.

[0047] Next, the water-impregnated holder 24 is impregnated with water by immersing the water-evaporation means 3 shown in Figures 9 to 11 in water, or by pouring water onto the water-evaporation means 3.

[0048] Next, pull down the zipper 20 to open the opening 18 of the pocket 4, and push the moisture-evaporating means 3 into the pocket 4. At this time, since the opening area of ​​the pocket 4's opening 18 is large, the insertion of the moisture-evaporating means 3 into the pocket 4 is performed smoothly.

[0049] Next, even when the case 23 of the dehydration means 3 comes into contact with the fan case 16 of the fan 13, the outer periphery of the case 23 is curved as described above, and furthermore, the outer periphery of the fan case 16 of the fan 13 is thinner than the central part, so the case 23 of the dehydration means 3 can slide smoothly along the surface of the fan case 16 and be pushed into the installation portion 19 of the pocket 4.

[0050] Furthermore, since the pocket fabric 7 that makes up pocket 4 is stretchable, the case 23 of the moisture evaporation means 3 pushes this pocket fabric 7 towards the fan 13 and is inserted into the installation part 19. The state in which the case 23 is inserted into the installation part 19 is shown in Figures 12 to 14. Figure 14 shows the back side of the garment body 1, and the zipper 20 on the front side is not shown here.

[0051] What is important in Figures 12 to 14 is that when the case 23 of the dehydration means 3 is inserted into the pocket 4, the pocket fabric 7 is stretched toward the fan 13. In other words, the case 23 of the dehydration means 3 is pressed against the back side of the garment body 1 via the fan 13 due to the elasticity of the pocket fabric 7 within the pocket 4. Therefore, the dehydration means 3 installed in the pocket 4 is pressed against the back side of the garment body 1 by the fan 13 installed in the fan mounting opening 10 due to the elasticity of the pocket fabric 7. In this state, the case 23 of the dehydration means 3 is positioned in the installation area 19, which has a smaller opening area than the entrance / exit area 18 of the pocket 4. As a result, the case 23 of the dehydration means 3 is held stably in the installation area 19 of the pocket 4.

[0052] In this state, when the fan 13 is started, air from outside the garment body 1 is drawn in through the ventilation holes 5 of the garment body 1. Next, the airflow that flows to the air inlet 21 and air outlet 22 of the case 23 of the water vaporization means 3 flows over the surface of the strips and the gaps between the strips of the water-impregnated retaining body 24. At that time, the water impregnated retaining body 24 vaporizes, and the air whose temperature has been lowered as a result can be supplied into the garment body 1 via the air outlet 22, the air intake 14 and air outlet 15 of the fan 13.

[0053] In this state, even when the outside temperature is 40 degrees Celsius, for example, an airflow sufficiently lower than the wearer's body temperature can be supplied into the garment body 1, so that, for example, effective cooling by the fan 13 could be performed even during the extreme heat of recent years.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case 23 is inserted into the pocket 4 with the water-impregnated retaining body 24 of the water evaporation means 3 impregnated with water. At that time, even if some water drips from the case 23, the pocket fabric 7 that makes up the pocket 4 is absorbent and quick-drying, so the pocket fabric 7 receives and absorbs the water, and as a result, the amount of water dripping into the garment body 1 is extremely small.

[0055] Furthermore, the water absorbed by the pocket fabric 7 can be vaporized by the airflow from the fan 13, thereby enhancing the vaporization effect.

[0056] Subsequently, as the water contained in the water-impregnated retainer 24 of the water evaporation means 3 evaporates and the amount of water contained in the water-impregnated retainer 24 decreases, reducing the air-cooling effect, the wearer can easily continue effective air cooling by pulling down the zipper 20, inserting their fingers through the wide opening 18, grasping the case 23 of the water evaporation means 3, pulling it out of the pocket 4, re-impregnating the water-impregnated retainer 24 of the water evaporation means 3 with water, then inserting it back into the pocket 4 and pulling up the zipper 20.

[0057] In other words, in this embodiment, water replenishment can be done by pulling out the case 23 of the water evaporation means 3 from the pocket 4, filling it with water, and then inserting it back into the pocket 4, making it extremely simple and convenient to use. At this time, the case 23 of the water evaporation means 3 is pressed against the back side of the garment body 1 via the fan 13 due to the elasticity of the pocket fabric 7 inside the pocket 4. However, as shown in Figure 12, the fan 13 is only in contact with the case 23 of the water evaporation means 3 at the center of the air intake 14. Therefore, there is no significant frictional resistance when pulling out the case 23 of the water evaporation means 3, and as a result, the water evaporation means 3 can be pulled out smoothly.

[0058] As described above, according to this embodiment, the moisture-absorbing means 3 is stored in a pocket 4 on the back side of the garment body 1, making it easy to take out the moisture-absorbing means 3 and to put it back in, resulting in a user-friendly design.

[0059] Furthermore, by installing the water evaporation means 3 inside the pocket 4 of the garment body 1, the fan 13 drives airflow, supplying air from the vents 5 of the garment body 1 to the water evaporation means 3. This air vaporizes the water in the water evaporation means 3, creating cool air. This cool air is then supplied to the garment body 1 by the fan 13, resulting in a highly comfortable experience.

[0060] Furthermore, since both the moisture evaporation means 3 and the fan 13 are located inside the garment body 1, objects in the work area do not directly come into contact with the moisture evaporation means 3 or the fan 13 during work, resulting in improved workability.

[0061] Furthermore, for example, when the temperature is low, it can be used even without inserting the moisture evaporation means 3 into the pocket 4, as shown in Figure 6, making it highly convenient in this respect as well.

[0062] In other words, in this embodiment, the ventilation opening 5 of the garment body 1 and the fan mounting opening 10 of the pocket fabric 7 are arranged so that at least a portion of them overlap when viewed from the surface side of the garment body 1. Therefore, even when used without the moisture evaporation means 3, the ventilation resistance from the ventilation opening 5 of the garment body 1 to the fan 13 does not increase.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and should not be interpreted restrictively. Furthermore, any modifications or changes that fall within the equivalent scope of the claims are all within the scope of the present invention. [Industrial applicability]
