Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a disaster prevention belt in which the torso part becomes a disaster prevention headscarf and the drum part itself has an accommodation space like a bag.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, awareness of disaster prevention has increased and the demand for disaster prevention goods has been growing. Therefore, there is a cold protection tool (Patent Document 1) with a storage function as a wearable disaster prevention bag, but it is not for use when wearing a kimono and is not something that pursues beauty. Also, from the perspective of the demand for kimonos, due to the difficulty of wearing and rules / manners, there are few elements that make people want to challenge wearing a kimono. As a countermeasure, there is something that is easy to wear with a sash (Patent Documents 2 and 3), but since the belt such as the fingertips is folded inside the knot to form a shape, it has swelling and cushioning but no storage space. Also, there is something in which the belt pillow required for wearing the belt is in the form of a pouch and is devised so that valuable items such as wallets can be stored (Patent Document 4), but it does not have the storage capacity to hold disaster prevention supplies, etc., and there is no belt that is like a bag. Among others, as a multi-purpose bag belt, there is something in which a pocket is provided at the position of the belt pillow, and after taking off the kimono, the kimono, zori, belt, etc. are wrapped with the drum part and can be carried as a shoulder bag (Patent Document 5), but since it is devised with an emphasis on carrying the kimono, there is no element of the fingertips, which is a characteristic of the bag belt, when worn as a belt. Also, since it is wrapped and fixed with a surface fastener, the short side of the long fabric forming the drum part is closed, but the long side is not fixed or covered and is not in the shape of a bag.

[0004] A sash is essential when wearing a kimono, and it is a large, three-dimensional object attached to the waist (formed by the sash itself being tied and folded). However, it lacks the storage space of a bag, making it beautiful but impractical. While some kimonos allow for temporary storage of items like cell phones or small wallets in the waist wrap or sash pillow, or by wrapping the removed kimono in it after taking it off, there are no sashes that take advantage of their characteristic of being attached to the body to be used for emergencies or that function like a bag.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a belt that is easy to wear, aesthetically pleasing, and possesses useful functionality. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The disaster prevention belt of the present invention is a disaster prevention belt comprising a body wrap portion to be wrapped around the body and a drum portion to be installed on the back of the body, wherein the body wrap portion comprises a body wrap portion body of a length of 1 shaku, string portions extending from both ends of the body wrap portion body in the short direction, and a locking portion at one end of the body wrap portion body in the longitudinal direction for wrapping and securing the body wrap portion body around the head.

[0007] One embodiment of the disaster prevention belt of the present invention is one in which the drum portion comprises a hole for inserting the body wrap portion, a hole for inserting the sash, and a bag portion having a storage space. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, while retaining the original shape of the obi, functions have been added to both the waist-wrapping and drum-shaped sections. In particular, the waist-wrapping section serves as a disaster prevention hood, and the drum-shaped section serves as a bag, allowing for emergency preparedness and reducing the amount of luggage carried. The idea of ​​an obi having the functions of a disaster prevention hood and a bag might be considered unorthodox by those involved in the manufacture and sale of kimono, but the present invention has the potential to enhance both the artistic and practical aspects of Japanese culture and to transform new functions into cultural elements.

[0010] The disaster prevention belt of the present invention can be worn as traditional Japanese clothing, and in times of emergency, it can also be used as a disaster prevention hood or disaster prevention bag. The first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0011] <First Embodiment> The disaster prevention belt of the first embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 6.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a rear view of the disaster prevention belt when worn in the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the disaster prevention belt when worn in the first embodiment.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the disaster prevention belt 1 of the first embodiment includes a body wrap portion 2 and a drum portion 3. The body wrap portion 2 serves as a disaster prevention headscarf in an emergency, and the drum portion 3 itself has a function of being able to be equipped with disaster prevention supplies.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 3, the body wrap portion 2 includes a cylindrical and long body wrap portion main body 4, strap portions 5 extending from both ends in the short direction of the body wrap portion main body 4 respectively, and a locking portion 6 provided at one end in the long direction of the body wrap portion main body 4 for winding and locking the body wrap portion main body 4 around the head when used as a disaster prevention headscarf.

[0015] The body wrap portion main body 4 has an outer visible belt material 4a and an inner mesh fabric 4b connected to the belt material 4a and arranged close to the body. The belt material 4a is made of, for example, a flameproof material, etc., and the mesh fabric 4b is composed of a mesh fabric with good air permeability, etc.

[0016] Both the belt material 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are composed of long rectangular cloths. The widths in the long direction of the belt material 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are the same, and the width in the short direction is configured such that the mesh fabric 4b is longer than the belt material 4a. Here, the widths in the short direction of the belt material 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are folded in the long direction so as to combine the mesh fabric 4b with the broken line shown in FIG. 3 and folded in two, and when applied to the abdominal part of the body, only the belt material 4a can be visually recognized from the outside. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the body wrap portion main body 4 is folded into two along the two-fold broken line in FIG. 3, the belt material is arranged on the outside, and the mesh fabric is arranged on the inside close to the body. Also, the belt material 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are integrated by connecting both ends in the long direction and configured in a cylindrical shape.

[0017] When the belt portion 5 is folded in half along the dashed line in Fig. 3, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the first cord 5a is inserted into the cylindrical body composed of the belt material 4a and the mesh fabric 4b along the upper part of the longitudinal direction of the belt portion of the belt material 4a (hereinafter referred to as "the upper part of the longitudinal direction of the belt portion"). When the belt portion main body 4 is folded in half along the dashed line in Fig. 3, the second cord 5b is inserted into the cylindrical body composed of the belt material 4a and the mesh fabric 4b along the lower part of the longitudinal direction of the belt portion of the belt material (hereinafter referred to as "the loop"). In addition, in order to prevent the inserted first cord 5a and second cord 5b from shifting, cord fixing loops 5c are arranged at both ends and the center on the upper part of the longitudinal direction of the belt portion inside the cylindrical body and at both ends and the center on the loop side. The cord fixing loop 5c is annular and fixes the position of the cord by passing the first cord 5a or the second cord 5b through it.

[0018] The locking portion 6 is composed of snap buttons in this embodiment. Both the concave portion and the convex portion of the snap buttons are attached to the mesh fabric 4b and arranged on the same line at a predetermined interval. Specifically, when the belt portion main body 4 is folded in half along the dashed line in Fig. 1, it is arranged close to the upper part of the longitudinal direction of the belt portion of the belt material 4a.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 5, the drum portion main body 3 forms a drum knot shape when the belt is tied, and includes a drum portion surface 3a and a hand portion 3b that form a drum state, and a sag portion 3c that forms the sag of the drum knot.

[0020] The drum portion surface 3a is made of a rectangular piece of fabric. The hand portion 3b is made of a rectangular bag-like body with an internal storage space. One end of the drum portion surface 3a in the short direction is detachably attached to one end of the hand portion 3b in the longitudinal direction, and the other end of the drum portion surface 3a in the short direction is sewn to the other end of the hand portion 3b in the longitudinal direction. A joint portion 3e is provided at one end of the drum portion surface 3a in the short direction and one end of the hand portion 3b in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the joint portion 3e is made of a fastener. When one end of the drum portion surface 3a in the short direction and one end of the hand portion 3b in the longitudinal direction are joined, a cylindrical body is formed, and the opening of this cylindrical body becomes the obi-tying hole 3i. The drum portion surface 3a and the hand portion 3b are made of the same fabric as the obi fabric 4a.

[0021] Furthermore, with the drum-shaped surface 3a and the hand-shaped part 3b joined together, a space is formed between the drum-shaped surface 3a and the hand-shaped part 3b. The obi pillow substitute pouch 3f is placed in this space.

[0022] The obi pillow substitute pouch 3f is designed to function as an obi pillow, and is constructed as an oval-shaped bag with a zippered opening and secured straps sewn to both sides.

[0023] A waist wrap pass-through section 3d is provided on the side of the hand portion 3b that is closest to the body. This waist wrap pass-through section 3d is made up of a rectangular cylindrical body and is integrally attached to the hand portion 3b. The waist wrap body 4, folded in half as shown in Figure 4, is inserted and fixed inside the cylindrical body of the waist wrap pass-through section 3d. On one side of the hand portion 3b in the shorter direction, the hand end seam 3g, which forms the end of the belt, is located. The waist wrap pass-through section 3d is made of the same mesh fabric as the mesh fabric 4b.

[0024] In this embodiment, a storage bag 3h is placed in the storage space of the hand portion 3b.

[0025] The lower longitudinal end of the hand portion 3b is joined to the hanging portion 3c in order to preserve the characteristic shape of the obi and maintain its beauty. The hanging portion 3c is made of the same material as the obi fabric 4a.

[0026] The method of using the drum portion of the disaster prevention belt of the first embodiment as a disaster prevention bag will be described below.

[0024] First, inside the pouch-shaped obi pillow substitute pouch 3e, store disaster preparedness items such as towels and lightweight folding umbrellas in an oval shape similar to an obi pillow. For the sake of clarity, the obiage (sash tie) is omitted in the illustration, but it should be wrapped in an obiage or furoshiki (wrapping cloth) beforehand, just like a conventional obi pillow.

[0027] The storage bag 3h for disaster preparedness supplies is placed inside the bag-shaped end portion 3b of the drum body 3. Note that, in order to preserve the original shape of the drum knot, the bag-shaped end portion 3b does not have a lid-like opening. Therefore, it is recommended to store the storage bag 3h in a furoshiki (wrapping cloth) or pouch. Furthermore, from a disaster preparedness perspective, wrapping the contents in a furoshiki allows the furoshiki itself to serve as a disaster preparedness item useful for first aid in case of injury.

[0028] After placing the storage bag 3h into the bag-shaped end portion 3b, the substitute pouch 3c for the obi pillow, wrapped in an obiage or similar material, is placed on top of the storage bag 3h. The drum body 3 can then be formed by closing the zipper of the joint portion 3e, connecting the fabric of the drum surface 3a and the upper part of the end portion 3b on the side closest to the body.

[0029] Next, we will explain how to attach the obi by combining the body wrap section 2 and the drum section 3. The body wrap section 3d is folded in half and inserted into the body wrap section 3d of the drum section 3, which is formed by incorporating the storage bag 3h and the obi pillow substitute pouch 3e, and moved to the middle of the body wrap section 4. Place it against the abdomen as shown in Figure 2, tie the first string 5a and the second string 5b together at the back of the body to secure it, move the drum section 3, which was initially moved to the middle of the body wrap section 3d, to the back of the body, and further secure the drum section 3 with the string of the obi pillow substitute pouch 3e. Finally, adjust the obiage and pass the obijime through the obijime hole 3i and tighten it.

[0030] The method for attaching the body wrap portion 4 of the disaster prevention belt of the first embodiment as a hood will be described below.

[0031] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the body wrap body 4 as it is worn as a disaster prevention hood, with the mesh fabric 4b of the body wrap body 4 facing inward, starting from the unfolded state shown in Figure 3. To form a hood, a locking part 6 is provided at approximately ear level when worn, for aligning the fabric that covers the back of the head. In the first embodiment, the locking part 6 is made of a snap button, but it is not limited to a snap button; any material that can be used to form the body wrap body 4 into a hood shape may be used.

[0032] As shown in Figure 6, when wearing the disaster prevention hood, the first string 5a, which is passed through the upper part of the long arm of the waist wrap and extends from both ends of the short arm, is tied under the chin at the neck. Additionally, the second string 5b, which is passed through the loop side when wearing the waist wrap and extends from both ends of the short arm, is passed from the front of the shoulders on both sides, under the armpits, and tied at the back. This prevents the hood from shifting or falling off.

[0033] As described above, the disaster prevention belt in the first embodiment can be worn when wearing a kimono, and in times of emergency, it can also be used as a disaster prevention hood or disaster prevention bag.

[0034] <Second Embodiment> The disaster prevention belt of the second embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the figures. Note that parts identical to those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted.

[0035] In the disaster prevention belt of the second embodiment, the configuration of the drum section and part of the configuration of the body wrap section differ from that of the first embodiment.

[0036] Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the structure of the back of the drum section made of transparent material. For ease of understanding, the obiage (sash) is omitted in this illustration.

[0037] The drum body 10 of the second embodiment comprises a bag 11 that is rectangular and drum-shaped when viewed from the back of the body, a hand portion 12 provided on one side of the bag 11 facing the body, and a cylindrical body-wrapping portion 3d provided on one side of the hand portion 12 facing the body.

[0038] The bag body 11 is made of a transparent material, and can hold artificial flowers or favorite items inside in a way that allows them to be seen from the outside. The bag body 11 is configured so that the top opening can be opened and closed using a zipper 13. The band fabric 4a of the body wrap portion 4 is also made of the same transparent material.

[0039] Between the bag body 11 and the hand portion 12, a sash-passing hole 3i for passing a sash is provided in the middle of the longitudinal side.

[0040] The bag body 11 has a space formed when the upper opening is closed using the zipper 13, and the belt pillow substitute pouch 3f can be inserted into this space.

[0041] In addition to being usable for disaster prevention, the disaster prevention belt of the second embodiment has a transparent bag body 11, so that artificial flowers or favorite items can be placed in the drum-shaped part that is visible from the back of the body, and the belt can be worn with the artificial flowers or favorite items displayed like a display.

[0042] The disaster prevention belt of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. For example, the joint 3e of the first embodiment can be positioned so that it is visible from the back of the drum-shaped surface 3a, and the lid can be opened and closed using a fastener similar to that of a bag or backpack instead of a zipper. Furthermore, since it has the function of storing disaster prevention supplies, you can prepare for disasters while displaying a beautiful obi not only when wearing it but also when storing it.
