Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, clothing with a blower has a problem that it becomes heavier by the weight of the blower compared to clothing without a blower. Therefore, there is a demand for clothing that has a sufficient cooling effect without a blower, but such clothing has not been sufficiently studied yet.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide clothing that has an excellent cooling effect without a blower.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The garment according to the present invention is It has a front fabric and a back fabric, The front fabric and the rear fabric are provided with a pair of ventilation openings. One of the pair of ventilation sections is placed on the front fabric, The other of the pair of ventilation parts is placed on the rear fabric, One and the other of the pair of ventilation sections are positioned at corresponding heights in the vertical direction and at the positions furthest apart from each other.

[0008] With this configuration, since one and the other of a pair of ventilation sections are positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction and at the furthest distances from each other, the distance that air travels inside the garment before being expelled from one ventilation section is increased. In other words, the surface area of ​​the body that can come into contact with the air that enters the garment becomes larger. As a result, an excellent cooling effect can be obtained without the need for a fan.

[0009] The aforementioned garment is At least one of the pair of ventilation sections has a length in the height direction that is longer than its length in the width direction.

[0010] With this configuration, at least one of the pair of ventilation sections has a length in the height direction that is longer than its length in the width direction. This increases the surface area of ​​the body that can come into contact with the air that enters the garment from one ventilation section until it is discharged from the other. As a result, a better cooling effect can be obtained without the need for a fan.

[0011] The aforementioned garment is The pair of ventilation sections are formed from a stretchable mesh fabric.

[0012] With this configuration, since the pair of ventilation sections are formed from a stretchable mesh fabric, the mesh fabric stretches when the wearer bends, increasing the area of ​​the ventilation holes in the mesh fabric, and thus increasing the amount of air flowing into the ventilation section. As a result, a better cooling effect can be obtained without the need for a fan.

[0013] The aforementioned garment is The garment in question is an upper garment, It has a front panel and a back panel, One of the pair of ventilation sections is positioned on the side of the abdominal area of ​​the front body, The other of the pair of ventilation sections is located on the side of the back region of the back panel.

[0014] With this configuration, one of the pair of ventilation sections is positioned on the side of the abdominal area of ​​the front panel, and the other ventilation section is positioned on the side of the back area of ​​the back panel. As air flows from one ventilation section to the other, the air that enters the garment comes into contact with the back. Since the back has a large number of sweat glands, the contact of this air with the back makes it easier for a large amount of sweat on the back to evaporate. Furthermore, because the ventilation section is positioned on the back area of ​​the back panel, the evaporated sweat from the back is more easily expelled through the ventilation section. As a result, a better cooling effect can be obtained without the need for a fan.

[0015] The aforementioned garment is The garment in question is an upper garment, It has a front panel and a back panel, One of the pair of ventilation sections is located in the side area of ​​the front panel, The other of the pair of ventilation sections is located in the side area of ​​the back panel.

[0016] With this configuration, one of a pair of ventilation sections is located in the side area of ​​the front panel, and the other is located in the side area of ​​the back panel. As air flows from one ventilation section to the other, the air that enters the garment comes into contact with the armpit. Since the armpit has a large number of sweat glands, the contact of this air with the armpit makes it easier for a large amount of sweat in the armpit to evaporate. Furthermore, because the ventilation sections are located in the side areas of both the front and back panels, the evaporated sweat from the armpit can be easily expelled through these ventilation sections. As a result, a better cooling effect can be obtained without the need for a fan.

[0017] The aforementioned garment is The aforementioned garment is pants, One of the pair of ventilation parts is arranged in the knee area of the front fabric, and the other of the pair of ventilation parts is arranged in the back of the knee area of the back fabric.

[0018] According to such a configuration, one of the pair of ventilation parts is arranged in the knee area of the front fabric, and the other of the pair of ventilation parts is arranged in the back of the knee area of the back fabric. When air circulates from one ventilation part to the other, the air that has entered the clothes comes into contact with the back of the knee. Since there are a large number of sweat glands on the back of the knee, when the air comes into contact with the back of the knee, a lot of sweat on the back of the knee is likely to vaporize. Furthermore, since the ventilation part is arranged in the back of the knee area of the back fabric, the vaporized sweat on the back of the knee is likely to be discharged from the ventilation part. Thereby, an excellent cooling effect can be obtained without providing a blower.

Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, there is provided a piece of clothing having an excellent cooling effect without providing a blower.

The back of the knee area refers to the area of ​​the right rear fabric and left rear fabric, as described later, where the back of the wearer's knees come into contact. The outer thigh area refers to the area of ​​the right front fabric, the right rear fabric, the left front fabric, and the left rear fabric, where the wearer's outer thighs come into contact.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the garment 1 according to this embodiment has a front body panel 10 as the front fabric 10 and a back body panel 11 as the back fabric 11. The garment 1 further has sleeves 20.

[0026] The front panel 10 and the back panel 11 are provided with a pair of ventilation sections 30 and non-ventilation sections 40. One of the pair of ventilation sections 30 is located on the front panel 10, and the other of the pair of ventilation sections is located on the back panel 11. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, preferably, one of the pair of ventilation sections 30 is located on the side of the abdominal region of the front panel 10, and the other of the pair of ventilation sections 30 is located on the side of the back region of the back panel 11. That is, one of the pair of ventilation sections 30 is the abdominal region side ventilation section 30a, and the other is the back region side ventilation section 30b.

[0027] One of the pair of ventilation sections 30 is positioned on the front fabric 10, and the other of the pair of ventilation sections 30 is positioned on the back fabric 11. The pair of ventilation sections 30 are positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction. Preferably, the abdominal area lateral ventilation section 30a and the back area lateral ventilation section 30b are positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction. In order for the pair of ventilation sections 30 to be positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction, at least one of the upper or lower ends of one of the pair of ventilation sections 30 may be positioned between the upper and lower ends of the other of the pair of ventilation sections 30, and at least one of the upper or lower ends of the other of the pair of ventilation sections 30 may be positioned between the upper and lower ends of one of the pair of ventilation sections 30.

[0028] One of the pair of ventilation sections 30 is positioned at the furthest distance from each other. That is, the abdominal lateral ventilation section 30a and the back lateral ventilation section 30b are positioned at the furthest distance from each other when the garment is worn.

[0029] "The most separated from each other" refers to the relationship between the positions on the garment 1 that have the farthest straight-line distance from each other in the cross-section of the garment 1 when it is being worn.

[0030] In this embodiment, the upper garment 1 preferably has a front panel 10 and a back panel 11 that include a plurality of pairs of ventilation parts 310. The plurality of pairs of ventilation parts 310 include at least a first pair of ventilation parts 311 and a second pair of ventilation parts 312. One of the first pair of ventilation parts 311 is a first abdominal region lateral ventilation part 311a, and the other is a first back region lateral ventilation part 311b. One of the second pair of ventilation parts 312 is a second abdominal region lateral ventilation part 312a, and the other is a second back region lateral ventilation part 312b.

[0031] Preferably, one of the first pair of ventilation sections 311 and the other of the second pair of ventilation sections 312 are positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction and are positioned opposite to each other when the garment is worn. Preferably, one of the second pair of ventilation sections 312 and the other of the first pair of ventilation sections 311 are positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction and are positioned opposite to each other when the garment is worn. The first abdominal region lateral ventilation section 311a and the second back region lateral ventilation section 312b are more preferably positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction and are positioned opposite to each other when the garment is worn. Preferably, the second abdominal region lateral ventilation section 312a and the first back region lateral ventilation section 311b are positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction and are positioned opposite to each other when the garment is worn.

[0032] "Opposite to each other" refers to a relationship where, in the cross-section of garment 1 when worn, the positions of the imaginary straight line drawn in the thickness direction intersect with garment 1.

[0033] In one embodiment, the garment 1 according to this embodiment further includes a third pair of ventilation parts 313 and a fourth pair of ventilation parts 314 among the plurality of pairs of ventilation parts 310. One of the third pair of ventilation parts 313 is a first front shoulder area ventilation part 313a located in the shoulder area of ​​the front body 10, and the other is a first rear shoulder area ventilation part 313b located in the shoulder area of ​​the rear body 11. One of the fourth pair of ventilation parts 314 is a second front shoulder area ventilation part 314a, and the other is a second rear shoulder area ventilation part 314b.

[0034] At least one of the pair of ventilation sections 30 has a length in the height direction that is longer than its length in the width direction. Preferably, each ventilation section in the pair of ventilation sections 30 has a length in the height direction that is longer than its length in the width direction.

[0035] The ratio of the length of the abdominal region lateral ventilation portion 30a in the length direction to the length of the front body 10 is preferably 0.1 or more and 0.7 or less, and more preferably 0.2 or more and 0.5 or less. The ratio of the length of the back region lateral ventilation portion 30b in the length direction to the length of the back body 11 is preferably 0.1 or more and 0.9 or less, and more preferably 0.2 or more and 0.8 or less.

[0036] The ratio of the width direction length of the abdominal region lateral ventilation portion 30a to the width direction length of the front body 10 is preferably 0.01 or more and 0.20 or less, and more preferably 0.03 or more and 0.10 or less. The ratio of the width direction length of the back region lateral ventilation portion 30b to the width direction length of the back body 11 is preferably 0.01 or more and 0.20 or less, and more preferably 0.03 or more and 0.15 or less.

[0037] The pair of ventilation sections 30 are formed from a fabric having holes. In one embodiment, the pair of ventilation sections 30 are formed from a mesh fabric. Examples of mesh fabrics include Russell mesh fabric, double Russell fabric, tricot mesh fabric, polyester mesh fabric, dry mesh fabric, honeycomb mesh fabric, and the like. Preferably, the pair of ventilation sections 30 are formed from a stretchable mesh fabric, and more preferably, the stretchable mesh fabric is tricot mesh fabric, polyester mesh fabric, dry mesh fabric, or honeycomb mesh fabric.

[0038] The garment 1 according to the present invention may further include an independent ventilation section 50, which is different from the pair of ventilation sections 30. That is, the jacket 1 according to this embodiment may further include an independent ventilation section 50. In one embodiment, the independent ventilation section 50 is arranged in the sleeve section 20. The independent ventilation section 50 has the same breathability as the pair of ventilation sections 30. There may be one independent ventilation section 50 or two or more.

[0039] The non-ventilated portion 40 is formed in the upper garment 1 in an area where the pair of ventilated portions 30 and the independent ventilated portion 50 are not provided.

[0040] Because one and the other of a pair of ventilation openings are positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction and at the furthest distances from each other, the distance that air travels in the width direction within the garment before entering through one ventilation opening and being discharged through the other is increased. In other words, the surface area of ​​the body that can come into contact with the air that enters the garment becomes larger. Furthermore, because the surface area of ​​the body that can come into contact with the air that enters the garment becomes larger, sweat on the body surface comes into contact with the air and evaporates more easily. The heat of vaporization generated by this evaporation lowers the temperature of the body surface, so an excellent cooling effect can be obtained without the need for a fan.

[0041] An even better cooling effect can be obtained if the length of each ventilation section in the pair of ventilation sections is longer in the height direction than in the width direction.

[0042] A superior cooling effect can be obtained if the ratio of the length of the abdominal lateral ventilation section to the length of the front panel in the length direction, the ratio of the length of the back lateral ventilation section to the length of the back panel in the length direction, the ratio of the width of the abdominal lateral ventilation section to the width of the front panel in the width direction, or the ratio of the width of the back lateral ventilation section to the width of the back panel in the width direction is within the above numerical range.

[0043] The front and back panels are equipped with multiple pairs of ventilation openings, which increases the amount of air that enters the garment. This also increases the amount of air that comes into contact with sweat on the body surface, making it easier for sweat to evaporate. Therefore, a better cooling effect can be obtained without the need for a fan.

[0044] Preferably, one of the first pair of ventilation sections and the other of the second pair of ventilation sections are positioned at corresponding heights in the length direction and opposite each other when the garment is worn. This allows air entering from one of the first pair of ventilation sections to move lengthwise within the garment before being discharged from the other of the second pair of ventilation sections, thereby increasing the surface area of ​​the body that can come into contact with the air inside the garment. As a result, an even better cooling effect can be obtained without the need for a fan.

[0045] One pair of ventilation sections is located in the front shoulder area, and the other is located in the back shoulder area, resulting in an excellent cooling effect around the wearer's shoulders.

[0046] By incorporating independent ventilation channels into the clothing, the amount of air entering the garment increases. This results in a better cooling effect without the need for a separate fan.

[0047] [Second Embodiment] Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the garment 1 according to the present invention, the upper garment 1, will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4.

The ratio of the length of the rear side area ventilation portion 30d in the vertical direction to the length of the side area is preferably 0.1 or more and 1.0 or less, more preferably 0.3 or more and 1.0 or less, and even more preferably 0.5 or more and 1.0 or less.

[0050] In the garment 1 according to this embodiment, the front body 10 may have a non-ventilated section 40 between the outer edge in the width direction of the front side ventilation section 30c and the outer edge in the width direction of the front body 10.

[0052] One of the pair of ventilation sections is a front side ventilator, and the other is a rear side ventilator, resulting in excellent cooling around the wearer's armpits.

[0053] A superior cooling effect can be obtained if the ratio of the length of the front underarm ventilation section to the length of the underarm section, or the ratio of the length of the rear underarm ventilation section to the length of the underarm section, falls within the above numerical range.

[0054] [Third Embodiment] Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the garment 1 according to the present invention, the upper garment 1, will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. Components that overlap with those in the first and second embodiments will be given the same reference numerals, and their descriptions will not be repeated.
