Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a protective device for the neck to suppress compression of the neck due to the hood falling down to the back or strangulation accidents due to the hood being caught in some way when wearing clothing with a hood.

Background Art

[0002] As a countermeasure against accidents where a child's neck is strangled by the hood of a parka, small children are prohibited from wearing parkas with hoods. It is recommended to prohibit wearing hooded clothing when entering a nursery school. (ikutech homepage No.31 Accidents where a child's neck is strangled by the hood of a parka! Countermeasure methods?)

[0003] As conventional techniques related to the fact that there are often times when it is painful with the neck tightened while wearing a parka, on the Internet, there are listed correcting hunchback, improving posture, using a hunchback belt, correcting skeletal distortion, and choosing a parka with a design that widens the neck.

JAPAN Q&A Countermeasures when it is painful with the neck tightened while wearing a parka) (Blog of devising life without spending money 2024 / 8 / 17 5 countermeasures against clothes slipping to the back)

[0004] Regarding an accessory having a feature that clips and a chain are connected at both ends and the overall length can be adjusted, it is disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2.

[0005] A hat that does not fly off using clips at both ends is disclosed in Patent Document 3.

[0007] While not wearing hooded sweatshirts as a rule for attending daycare could prevent accidents, it might restrict a child's ability to express their individuality as they grow. Since hooded clothing is widespread in everyday life, encouraging young children to stop wearing hooded sweatshirts is merely a goal to strive for.

[0008] Correcting hunchback, poor posture, and skeletal misalignment may be one contributing factor, but the medical causal relationship remains unclear. It varies from person to person; sometimes it's simply a matter of neck diameter or the size of hooded clothing not matching one's body type. There are various factors that can cause pressure on the neck.

[0009] Choosing a hoodie with a wider neckline might give you a little more time before your neck feels constricted, but the fact remains that your neck will still feel constricted in the end.

[0010] The component configuration of the present invention has similarities to the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3, namely that fasteners are provided at both ends of the chain or cord, allowing for length adjustment. However, each component of the present invention is required to have a certain degree of strength to protect the human body, but Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 do not ensure this strength in individual components such as fasteners, chains, and other metal fittings.

[0011] While Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 state that the chain can be replaced with string or rubber, string and rubber are inherently elastic and cannot be used as substitutes for the present invention. This is because if the string-like chain stretches, it will stretch along with the hood as it moves backward, resulting in no difference from not wearing the present invention at all.

[0012] Given the shape of the fasteners in the inventions described in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3, they may cause skin damage when worn as underwear.

[0013] The tooth shape of the fasteners in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 causes damage to the inner material, such as snagging or holes.

[0014] If the inventions described in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 are damaged while in use, the length and thickness of the chain and the shape of the fasteners may cause injury to the human body.

[0015] Based on these facts, the present invention aims to provide a neck protector that protects the neck when wearing hooded clothing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0016] Regarding the specific details of the parts reinforcement 1. Regarding the twill tape 3, if the tape itself is woven vertically, the part that is pressed against the lace fastener 4 tends to fray with use, so a horizontally woven type was used. 2. When bundling the twill tape 3, instead of sewing, use lace fasteners 4 by crimping them. 3. A double jump ring (4) was used to connect the lace clasp (4) and the lobster clasp (6) instead of a single jump ring. 4. While adjuster chains 7 used in accessories typically have a diameter of about 0.5 mm, the present invention uses a diameter of 1.3 mm.

[0017] The fasteners used to attach the garment to the innerwear are plastic fish clips (size 10), which are commonly sold for infants. A key feature of fish clips is that they have no protrusions or sharp edges on any surface, so they do not cause skin damage. They can be opened and closed with light force, yet they have strong holding power. The interlocking teeth (size 10) of the fish clip are shaped like human teeth, not sawtooth, so they do not puncture or damage clothing when attached.

[0018] In the case of the product of the present invention, only the Marukan 8 has an outer diameter of 12 mm and a thickness of 1 mm so that the breaking part is constant. As a cause of breakage, taking off clothes while wearing this product can be mentioned. Also, the case of being pulled by a friend playfully can be considered. For such cases, a function of being damaged at a certain part is provided.

[0019] In addition, as a result of verification by age group of 3 years old and above, regarding the length of the chain 7, an adjuster of 3 cm or more is not necessary. Rather, when it is unnecessarily long, the extra chain touches the fish clip one by one, and the sound at the time of contact becomes noise and is unpleasant. Also, at the time of the incident of 0014, the extra chain may cause damage to the skin.

Effect of the Invention

[0020] By attaching the 9 clips of the neck protector of the present invention to the front neck or chest of the hooded clothing, and attaching the 2 fish clips to the front neck or chest of the inner, and attaching the string-like chain without sagging at a position lower than the clip 9, it is possible to prevent the hood from falling to the back in daily life, and as a result, it is possible to suppress the neck from being compressed.

[0021] It is possible to suppress compression of the neck due to the hood being caught on something, or an accidental strangulation accident by a child.

[0022] By adjusting the connection of the 6 can cans and the 7 string-like chains, it is possible to exert a suppression effect suitable for an individual's body type.

[0023] By providing the product of the present invention, the actual situation of the problems occurring in the wearing of hooded clothing can be widely recognized by society.

[0024] It is possible to provide a new fashion style and a new lifestyle to those who have trouble wearing hooded clothing due to neck compression and cannot wear it.

[0025] Parents can take their eyes off their children wearing the present invention for longer periods, allowing them to dedicate time to other matters and creating an environment that enriches their lives.

[0026] Even those who have no concerns about wearing hooded clothing can be provided with peace of mind in case of unforeseen circumstances by wearing the present invention. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0027] [Figure 1] This is a planar perspective view of the surface of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a side view of the Fish Clip 2 in the open position. [Figure 3] This is a planar perspective view showing the lobster clasp 6 and the string-like chain 7 separated. [Figure 4] This is a plan view of the reverse side. [Figure 5] This is a side view. [Figure 6] This diagram shows the present invention attached to a hooded garment and an inner garment, respectively. [Figure 7] This is a diagram showing a customized version of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0028] The invention is formed by connecting a fish clip 2, twill tape 3, lace fastener 4, double jump ring 5, lobster clasp 6, string-like chain 7, jump ring 8, and clip 9 together.

[0029] By varying the color tones of parts 2 through 9, the product can be offered for a variety of situations and a wide range of age groups.

[0030] The individual components that make up the whole can be customized not only with the current invention, but also with various materials such as metal, wood, and stone, as well as mirror-finish materials and sizes, allowing for a highly original product tailored to the user's preferences.

[0031] When changing the material, size, or length of each component, consideration should be given to avoiding damage to clothing or the human body.

[0032] As a concrete example of customization (Figure 7), protective gear with metal clips can be provided for active situations such as sports, and protective gear adorned with dinosaur charms can be offered for tourism promotion, local souvenirs, etc. [Examples]

[0033] The method for attaching the present invention will now be explained. First, attach the clip 9 to the front of the neck or chest of the hooded garment shown in Figure 6. When attaching, clipping it horizontally significantly increases the likelihood of it coming off. It can also be clipped vertically, but since people generally move vertically more often, it tends to come off more easily.

[0034] Next, attach the fish clip 2 (Figure 6) vertically to the front of the inner garment, either at the neck or chest, at a position lower than the clip 9, and slightly taut, ensuring there is no slack in the string-like chain 7. At this time, pinch the inner garment about 1-2 centimeters and clamp it in place with the fitting part as shown in Figure 2.

[0035] If the fish clip 2 does not reach the point where you intend to attach it, you can adjust the length by changing the connection between the lobster clasp 6 and the string-like chain 7.

[0036] The string-like chain is generally called an adjuster, and in the case of this invention, it is intended for use by all people aged 3 and older. The distance between the clips to be attached was measured for each age group, and as a result, a 3cm adjuster function was set.

[0037] The 3cm adjuster function provides a suitable length for all ages 3 years and older; a length exceeding 3cm is not necessary.

[0038] The method for removing the present invention is as follows: While wearing the hooded garment, remove the fish clip 2 attached to the inner garment, and then remove the clip 9 attached to the hooded garment.

[0039] Do not remove hooded clothing while wearing the product of this invention, as the product may be pulled too hard and damaged.

[0040] Furthermore, while this product can be used with both pullover and zipper-type hooded garments, if the lower end of the inner garment is not tucked into the bottoms, the inner garment may slide over the hooded garment, and therefore the full effect of this product cannot be obtained.

[0041] If you are not wearing hooded clothing, you can use it as a name tag clip by attaching clothing to one clip and a name tag to the other.

[0042] By wearing this invention, the neck area can be kept wide open, allowing you to adorn your neck with accessories such as necklaces while wearing hooded clothing, thus further enhancing your individuality. [Industrial applicability]

[0043] By changing the clips 9, lace fasteners 4, double jump rings 5, lobster clasps 6, string-like chains 7, and jump rings 8 to a fabric that can withstand washing and water treatment, and by improving them to allow for length adjustment, and by sewing them directly into the lining of the front neck and chest area of ​​hooded garments, this can be implemented in all hooded garments sold on the market, potentially making it a standard for all users of hooded garments to be protected from neck compression and strangulation accidents.
