Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing vest.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as a fishing vest worn by fishermen, a rock fishing vest provided with a buoyancy material that generates buoyancy is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). A hip cord is attached to the rock fishing vest. In Patent Document 1, the hip cord is supported at the lower end of the back body, and the left and right tip portions are attached to the left and right front bodies via buckles. The hip cord is put around the fisherman's hips and worn to prevent the rock fishing vest from detaching from the fisherman's body due to an impact such as when getting into the sea.

[0003] On the other hand, catfish fishing is known as a fishing activity carried out by entering a river. In catfish fishing, since it is sometimes necessary to stand in the river until immersed up to the chest, a thin fishing vest without a buoyancy material is used in consideration of fishing operability and body fit.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, since the points of catfish fishing may overlap with the dangerous points of water accident, it has been desired to wear a fishing vest provided with a buoyancy material even in catfish fishing. In this case, it is also conceivable to use a rock fishing vest for catfish fishing. However, when wearing a rock fishing vest and standing in a river, the vest floats due to the buoyancy material and hits the sides and around the neck, resulting in a problem that the fit and fishing operability are impaired.

[0006] Furthermore, in ayu fishing, it is common practice to insert a landing net (tamo net) into a waist belt when entering the river, and it is desirable that the landing net can be easily inserted and removed when landing the caught ayu. However, with fishing vests designed for shore fishing, the ends of the crotch straps are attached to the front panels on both sides via buckles, which creates a problem where the handle or net of the landing net tends to interfere with the hem or crotch straps of the vest when inserting or removing the net.

[0007] This invention was created to solve these problems and aims to provide a fishing vest that can ensure buoyancy, offers excellent fit and fishing operability, and effectively prevents the vest from coming off the angler's body. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To solve the aforementioned problems, the fishing vest of the present invention has left and right front panels, a back panel, left and right side panels connecting the left and right front panels and the back panel, and a crotch strap. When laid flat, the ratio of the length to the width of the fishing vest is 0.8 to 0.6:1. Buoyancy material is housed in the left and right front panels and the back panel. The lower ends of the buoyancy material are positioned near the lower ends of the left and right front panels. One end of the crotch strap is attached to the back panel, and the other end can be attached to the left and right side panels.

[0009] In this invention, the ratio of length to width is 0.8 to 0.6:1, allowing for a shorter length while maintaining a longer width, thereby securing space for buoyancy material. Furthermore, since the lower end of the buoyancy material is positioned near the lower ends of the left and right front panels, the area of ​​the left and right front panels can be effectively utilized to accommodate the buoyancy material. This ensures adequate buoyancy for a fishing vest. Additionally, the shorter length improves the fit to the body, resulting in good fishing maneuverability even when wading in water up to the chest.

[0010] Furthermore, the inclusion of a crotch strap effectively prevents the fishing vest from floating up even when wading in a river up to chest level, maintaining a good fit to the body and excellent fishing maneuverability. Additionally, the other end of the crotch strap can be attached to the left and right sides of the body, effectively preventing interference with landing nets, mooring ropes for towboats attached to the waist belt, etc., during actual fishing. Therefore, it offers superior fishing maneuverability. Moreover, because the end of the crotch strap can be attached to the left and right sides of the body, the attachment points of the crotch strap do not interfere with the storage space for buoyancy material on the left and right front panels. Therefore, the storage space for buoyancy material is not reduced, and the buoyancy of the fishing vest is effectively ensured.

[0011] Furthermore, it is preferable that the ends of the crotch straps can be attached to the left and right sides of the garment. In this configuration, since there are no ends of the crotch straps on the lower part of the left and right front panels, the ends of the crotch straps do not interfere when inserting or removing the landing net from the waist belt, thus achieving good fishing operability despite having a structure with crotch straps.

[0012] Furthermore, it is preferable that the crotch strap be equipped with an adjuster for length adjustment. In this configuration, the length of the crotch strap can be adjusted using an adjuster, which improves the fit to the body. This contributes to improved fishing maneuverability.

[0013] Furthermore, it is preferable that the crotch strap can be attached to the left and right sides via a buckle. In this configuration, the crotch strap can be attached and detached to the left and right sides of the garment with a single touch using buckles, allowing for quick attachment and removal of the strap, making it highly convenient.

[0014] Furthermore, when laid flat, the shoulder width is preferably at least half the width of the body. In this configuration, the shoulder width can be set wider, allowing buoyancy material to be placed on the upper part of the left and right front panels, thus ensuring adequate buoyancy even with a short length.

[0015] Further, it is preferable that the end portion of the thigh string is folded back in a loop shape, and the tip end portion of the thigh string is fixed to the inner surface of the thigh string folded back in a loop shape. In this configuration, since the tip end portion of the thigh string fits inside the thigh string folded back in a loop shape, it is possible to prevent phenomena such as being caught on the tip end portion of the thigh string when inserting and removing the tama net with respect to the waist belt or when handling fishing supplies. Therefore, the tama net and fishing supplies can be handled well, and the fishing operability is excellent.

Effects of the Invention

[0016] According to the fishing vest of the present invention, buoyancy can be ensured, the fit to the body and the fishing operability are excellent, and it is possible to suitably prevent the vest from detaching from the body of the fisherman.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, the fishing vest according to the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, when referring to "up and down" and "left and right", the directions shown in FIG. 1 are used as a reference. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fishing vest 1 of this embodiment is a piece of clothing worn on the upper body of a fisherman, and has left and right front parts 2, 3 and a back part 4. As shown by the broken lines in the figure, buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, 5C that generate buoyancy against water are respectively accommodated in the left and right front parts 2, 3 and the back part 4. Details of the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, 5C will be described later.

[0019] The left and right front parts 2, 3 and the back part 4 are integrally connected via the left and right side parts 6, 6 and the left and right upper shoulder parts 8, 8. As shown in FIG. 1, fasteners 11 extending in the vertical direction are provided at the front end parts of the left and right front parts 2, 3. By operating the fasteners 11 in the vertical direction, it is possible to put on / take off the fishing vest 1. Also, an armhole part (opening) 10 through which the fisherman's arms are inserted is formed between the left and right front parts 2, 3 and the back part 4. A collar part 9 is provided at the upper end part of the fishing vest 1.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, in the flat state, the ratio of the length H of the fishing vest 1 to the body width W is set to 0.8 to 0.6:1. The length H is the length from the neck point P at the lower end of the collar part 9 to the lower end part (hem, bottom part) at the front end parts of the left and right front parts 2, 3. The body width W is the length connecting the left and right side parts 6, 6 (outer edges of the side parts 6, 6). Note that the body width W is also the length connecting the lower end opening edge parts 10a, 10a of the armhole part 10 continuous with the outer edges of the side parts 6, 6.

[0021] Also, in the flat state, the shoulder width S of the fishing vest 1 is set to be 1 / 2 or more of the body width W. The shoulder width S is the length connecting the end parts of the left and right shoulder parts 8, 8.

[0022] Front pockets 7a and 7b are provided vertically on the left and right front panels 2 and 3. The lower front pocket 7a has a base portion extending from the lower part of the armhole 10 to the side 6 and extends to the vicinity of the front edges 2b of the left and right front panels 2 and 3. The upper front pocket 7b is located below the shoulder 8, with a base portion extending from the middle of the upper part of the armhole 10 to the middle of the lower part of the armhole 10 and extending to the vicinity of the central edge 2c of the chest area of ​​the left and right front panels 2 and 3 (partially extending to the front edges 2b). As described above, the upper part of the left and right front panels 2 and 3 has a ratio of length H to width W set to 0.8 to 0.6:1, which results in a wider lower area of ​​the shoulder 8 in the left-right direction. As a result, the left-right width of the upper front pocket 7b is wider than that of conventional fishing vests. This also contributes to securing the area of ​​the buoyancy materials 5A and 5B housed in the left and right front panels 2 and 3. If the ratio of the length H to the width W is greater than 0.8, the lower edges of the left and right front panels 2 and 3 may interfere with the insertion and removal of the landing net from the waist belt or with the mooring ropes of the towboat, potentially affecting the handling of the landing net. Furthermore, if the ratio of the length H to the width W is less than 0.6, it becomes difficult to secure the area of ​​the buoyancy materials 5A and 5B, and the capacity of the front panel pockets 7a and 7b inevitably decreases. It is preferable to set the ratio of the length H to the width W to 0.77 to 0.64. By setting this ratio, a fishing vest 1 suitable for actual fishing can be obtained that adequately secures the area of ​​the buoyancy materials 5A and 5B without affecting the handling of the landing net, and also adequately secures the capacity of the front panel pockets 7a and 7b.

[0023] Shoulder grips 8a, 8a are attached to the shoulder sections 8,8. The shoulder grips 8a, 8a are made of a material such as silicone to prevent the fishing rod from slipping. The shoulder grips 8a, 8a are positioned across the front and back of the shoulder sections 8,8.

[0024] Fishing vest 1 is equipped with a long, narrow crotch strap 20, as shown in Figure 3. The crotch strap 20 comprises branched straps 21, 21, a buckle 22 acting as an adjuster, a male buckle 23, a female buckle 24, and attachment straps 24a, 24a. The branch cords 21, 21 have one end 20a attached to the center of the lower end of the back panel 4 in the left-right direction. The buckle 22 is a length adjustment component for the branch cords 21, 21, and is positioned at an intermediate point in the extension direction of the branch cords 21, 21, and is movable in the extension direction. The male buckle 23 is attached to the extended end of the branch cords 21, 21. The male buckle 23 is detachable from the female buckle 24 and is connected by being fitted into the female buckle 24. In other words, the ends of the branching cords 21, 21 can be attached to the left and right sides 6, 6 via the male buckle 23 and the female buckle 24 (attachment cords 24a, 24a). The male buckle 23 can be easily detached from the female buckle 24 by releasing the fitted state.

[0025] The female buckles 24 are suspended from the lower ends 6a, 6a of the side sections 6, 6 via attachment straps 24a, 24a, and are positioned below the side sections 6, 6. In other words, each female buckle 24, 24 is not positioned below the left and right front panels 2, 3. In this embodiment, the attachment straps 24a, 24a are attached to the side of the lower end 6a of the side sections 6, 6 that is closer to the left and right front panels 2, 3.

[0026] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the other end 21a of the branching cord 21 is inserted through the buckle 22 and the male buckle 23, and is folded back into a loop at the male buckle 23 and fixed to the inner surface 21c of the branching cord 21. More specifically, as shown in Figure 7, the other end 21a of the branching cord 21 is inserted through the two slits 22a, 22a of the buckle 22, extends toward the male buckle 23, is inserted through the slits 23a, 23a of the male buckle 23, and is folded back in a loop toward the buckle 22. The folded-back other end 21a is then inserted again from the inside of the loop toward the two slits 22a, 22a of the buckle 22, is pulled toward the inner surface 21c of the loop, and then its tip 21b is fixed to the inner surface 21c of the branching cord 21. In other words, the other end 21a of the branching cord 21 is inserted through the buckle 22 and the male buckle 23 in a structure in which the tip 21b is not exposed on the outer surface of the branching cord 21, which is the outside of the loop.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3, the front panels 2, 3 and the back panel 4 have pouch-shaped pocket sections 2A, 3A, and 4A (storage spaces) for accommodating buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C (see Figure 4). The pocket sections 2A, 3A, and 4A are formed to correspond to the size of the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C and are equipped with lid sections 32, 33, and 34 that allow the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C to be inserted and removed. The lid sections 32, 33, and 34 are formed on the lower inner surface of the front panels 2, 3 and the back panel 4. The lid sections 32, 33, and 34 are fitted with hooks 32a, 33a, and 34a that can be closed simply by snapping them into place with the fingers. Furthermore, retaining hooks 32b, 33b, and 34b are provided within pocket sections 2A, 3A, and 4A to restrict the movement of buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C.

[0028] Next, we will explain the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C, primarily referring to Figure 4, with occasional reference to Figures 1-3. Buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C are foamed materials made of materials such as polyethylene and polyurethane, and possess the property of floating on water. Buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C may be composed of a single sheet of foamed material, or they may be composed of multiple sheets of foamed material laminated together. Buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C have an appropriate thickness.

[0029] The buoyancy material 5A is housed in the left front panel 2 and comprises a lower buoyancy material 5a1 and an upper buoyancy material 5a2. The lower buoyancy material 5a1 and the upper buoyancy material 5a2 are housed in a bag 55. The bag 55 has a horizontally elongated dashed partition 52e that divides the housing area of ​​the lower buoyancy material 5a1 and the upper buoyancy material 5a2 vertically. Note that the partition 52e is not limited to a dashed line shape, and various forms can be used as long as they can divide the housing area vertically.

[0030] The lower buoyancy material 5a1 is positioned in the lower part of the front body 2, as shown in Figure 1, on the inside of the front body pocket 7a. The lower buoyancy material 5a1 in this embodiment is sized to correspond to the width of the lower part of the front body 2. The lower end of the lower buoyancy material 5a1 is below the lower end opening edge 10a of the sleeve opening 10, as shown in Figure 1, and is positioned near the lower end 2a of the front body 2. The upper buoyancy material 5a2 is positioned in the upper part of the front body 2, extending from the inside of the front body pocket 7b to the inside of the upper part of the front body pocket 7a. The upper buoyancy material 5a2 is formed in a vertically elongated shape corresponding to the shape of the upper part of the front body 2.

[0031] As shown in Figure 4, attachment hooks 52, 52 are provided at both corners of the lower end of the bag body 55 for positioning the bag body 55 (buoyancy material 5A) within the pocket portion 2A. The attachment hooks 52, 52 can be fitted onto the retaining hooks 32b, 32b inside the pocket portion 2A. This fitting positions the bag body 55 (buoyancy material 5A) within the pocket portion 2A.

[0032] The buoyancy material 5B is housed in the right front panel 3. The buoyancy material 5B has the same configuration as the left buoyancy material 5A and exhibits a shape symmetrical to the buoyancy material 5A. The buoyancy material 5B comprises a lower buoyancy material 5b1 and an upper buoyancy material 5b2, and is housed in a bag body 55 partitioned by a partition 52e. As shown in Figure 1, the lower end of the lower buoyancy material 5b1 is below the lower end opening edge 10a of the sleeve opening 10 and is positioned near the lower end 3a of the front panel 3. The lower buoyancy material 5b1 and the upper buoyancy material 5b2 are positioned in the front panel 3 in a position symmetrical to the left front panel 2. The bag body 55 (buoyancy material 5B) is positioned within the pocket section 3A by fitting the attachment hooks 52, 52 into the retaining hooks 33b, 33b within the pocket section 3A.

[0033] The buoyancy material 5C is housed in the back panel 4 and consists of a pair of left and right buoyancy materials 5c1 and 5c2. The left and right buoyancy materials 5c1 and 5c2 are housed in a bag 56. In the center of the bag 56 in the left-right direction, there is a vertically elongated dashed partition 54e that divides the housing area of ​​the left buoyancy material 5c1 and the right buoyancy material 5c2 into left and right sections. Note that the partition 54e is not limited to a dashed line shape, and various forms can be used as long as they can divide the housing area into left and right sections.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2, the left buoyancy material 5c1 is positioned vertically on the left side of the back panel 4. The upper end of the left buoyancy material 5c1 extends to a position near the lower end of the collar 9. On the other hand, the lower end of the left buoyancy material 5c1 is below the lower end opening edge 10a of the sleeve opening 10 and is positioned near the lower end 4a of the back panel 4. The right buoyancy material 5c2 is positioned vertically on the right side of the back panel 4. The upper end of the right buoyancy material 5c2 extends to a position near the lower end of the collar 9, similar to the left buoyancy material 5c1. On the other hand, the lower end of the right buoyancy material 5c2 is located below the lower end opening edge 10a of the sleeve opening 10, and is positioned near the lower end 4a of the back panel 4. The upper ends of the left buoyancy material 5c1 and the right buoyancy material 5c2 extend to a position near the lower end of the collar portion 9, thereby effectively supporting the base of the angler's neck.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4, attachment hooks 54, 54 are provided at both corners of the lower end of the bag body 56 for positioning the bag body 56 (buoyancy material 5C) within the pocket portion 4A. The attachment hooks 52, 52 can be fitted onto the retaining hooks 34b, 34b inside the pocket portion 4A. This fitting positions the bag body 56 (buoyancy material 5C) within the pocket portion 2A.

[0036] When removing the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C from the front panels 2 and 3 and the back panel 4, open the lids 32, 33, and 34 of each section as shown in Figure 5, and release the positioning of each bag 55, 55, and 56. The positioning can be released by inserting your fingers into the pocket sections 2A, 3A, and 4A and detaching the attachment hooks 52, 53, and 54 of each bag 55, 55, and 56 from the retaining hooks 32b, 33b, and 34b. Then, by pulling out the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C together with the bags 55, 55, and 56 through the lids 32, 33, and 34 of each section, the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C can be separated from the front panels 2 and 3 and the back panel 4. When inserting the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C into the front panels 2 and 3 and the back panel 4, follow the reverse procedure of the removal procedure.

[0037] As described above, the fishing vest 1 of this embodiment has a ratio of length H to width W of 0.8 to 0.6:1, allowing the width W to be set longer while shortening the length H, thereby securing space for buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C. Furthermore, since the lower ends of buoyancy materials 5A and 5B are positioned near the lower ends 2a and 3a of the left and right front panels 2 and 3, the area of ​​the left and right front panels 2 and 3 can be effectively utilized to accommodate the buoyancy materials 5A and 5B. This ensures adequate buoyancy for the fishing vest 1. In addition, since the length H can be shortened, the fit to the body can be improved, and fishing maneuvers are good even when wading in water up to the chest.

[0038] Furthermore, the crotch strap 20 effectively prevents the fishing vest 1 from floating up even when wading in the river up to the chest, maintaining a good fit to the body and excellent fishing maneuverability. In addition, since the other ends 21a, 21a of the crotch strap 20 (branched straps 21, 21) can be attached to the left and right sides 6, 6, interference between the other ends 21a, 21a of the crotch strap 20 and the mooring ropes of the towboat attached to the waist belt can be effectively prevented during actual fishing. Therefore, it offers excellent fishing maneuverability. A towboat is a container for holding decoy ayu (sweetfish) that is carried when performing what is known as "tomozuri" (a type of ayu fishing).

[0039] Furthermore, since the other ends 21a, 21a of the crotch strap 20 can be attached to the left and right side sections 6, 6, the attachment points of the other ends 21a, 21a of the crotch strap 20 do not interfere with the storage space (pocket sections 2A, 3A) for the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B on the left and right front panels 2, 3. Therefore, the storage space (pocket sections 2A, 3A) for the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B is not narrowed, and the buoyancy required for fishing vest 1 can be adequately ensured.

[0040] Furthermore, since the other ends 21a, 21a of the crotch strap 20 are not present below the left and right front panels 2, 3, the other ends 21a, 21a of the crotch strap 20 do not interfere when inserting or removing the landing net from the waist belt, thus achieving good fishing operability despite having a structure with a crotch strap 20.

[0041] Furthermore, the length of the crotch strap 20 can be adjusted using the buckle 22, which improves the fit to the body. This contributes to improved fishing maneuverability.

[0042] Furthermore, the male buckle 23 and female buckle 24 allow the crotch strap 20 to be attached to and detached from the left and right side sections 6, 6 with a single touch, enabling quick attachment and detachment of the crotch strap 20, thus providing excellent convenience.

[0043] Furthermore, since the shoulder width S is at least half the size of the body width W, the shoulder width S can be made wider, allowing buoyancy materials 5a2, 5A and 5b2, 5B to be placed on the upper part of the left and right front panels 2 and 3, ensuring adequate buoyancy even with a short length H. In addition, because the shoulder width S can be set wider, wide front panel pockets 7b, 7b can be formed on the left and right front panels 2 and 3. Therefore, it offers excellent storage for fishing equipment. Moreover, because the shoulder width S can be made wider, it is easier to rest the fishing rod on the shoulder 8 when changing or repairing tackle during actual fishing, or when entering or leaving a fishing spot, resulting in excellent fishing operability.

[0044] Furthermore, since the tip 21b of the crotch strap 20 fits into the inner surface 21c of the crotch strap 20 which is folded back into a loop, it is possible to prevent the tip 21b of the crotch strap 20 from getting caught when inserting or removing the landing net from the waist belt or when handling fishing equipment. Therefore, the handling of the landing net and fishing equipment is improved, and fishing operability is enhanced.

[0045] Although embodiments have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the examples shown in the embodiments. For example, the other ends 21a of the branched cords 21, 21 (crotch cords 20) are attached to the left and right side sections 6, 6 via male buckles 23 and female buckles 24, but the configuration is not limited to this, and other attachment means, such as hookable hook members, may be used to attach them to the left and right side sections 6, 6. Alternatively, the other ends 21a of the branched cords 21, 21 may be attached directly to the left and right side sections 6, 6 without using buckles or the like.

[0046] Furthermore, the base ends of the branch cords 21, 21 may be configured to be attached to the lower end of the back panel 4 via attachment means such as buckles. Also, the buckles 22, 22 are not necessarily required.

[0047] Furthermore, the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C can be of various shapes. Although the buoyancy materials 5A, 5B, and 5C are shown as being composed of two separate buoyancy materials, they are not limited to this configuration; each may be composed of a single buoyancy material, or each may be composed of three or more buoyancy materials.
