[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0008] The following describes specific embodiments of this disclosure. However, some unnecessarily detailed descriptions may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of already well-known matters or redundant descriptions of substantially identical configurations may be omitted. This is to avoid the following description becoming unnecessarily verbose and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. The inventors provide the accompanying drawings and the following description so that those skilled in the art can fully understand this disclosure, and not to limit the subject matter described in the claims. In the following description, identical or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0009] (Embodiment 1) First, the overall schematic configuration of the garment 1 (also referred to as a refrigerated garment) will be described, and then the details of each component will be explained.
[0010] (Regarding the overall configuration of the garment) Hereinafter, the schematic of the garment 1 in Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of the overall schematic of the garment 1 in Embodiment 1, FIG. 2 is a rear view of the schematic of the garment 1, and FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the inside of the garment 1 in Embodiment 1. Here, based on when the garment 1 is worn on the body, the left side is defined as the side to the left of the center line of the garment 1 (the line indicated by the fastener 23 in FIG. 1), and the right side is defined as the side to the right. Also, based on when the garment 1 is worn on the body, the side closer to the body is defined as the inner side, and the side away from the body is defined as the outer side.
[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, the garment 1 is a vest-type garment 1 having a front fabric 2 disposed on the front side of the body and a back fabric 3 disposed on the rear side (back side) of the body. The form of the garment 1 includes a vest, a short-sleeved jacket, a long-sleeved jacket, and the like. The front fabric 2 has a fastener 23 and two pockets 24 on the left and right sides. The back fabric 3 has a cooling unit 5 and two blower fans 20 on the left and right sides. As shown in FIG. 6, inside the front fabric 2 and the back fabric 3, there are a cooling unit 5, two blower fans 20, a detachable unit 30, and a sleeveless inner inner 125.
[0012] The cooling unit 5 is disposed at approximately the center of the shoulder on the back of a person, and two blower fans 20 are disposed at the positions of the left and right waists of a person. The cooling unit 5 fits into the detachable unit 30 (details will be described later). Here, since the cooling unit 5 fits into the detachable unit 30 and becomes integrated, in a broad sense, it means a configuration including the detachable unit 30, and in a narrow sense, it means the cooling unit 5 alone.
[0013] As shown in Figure 2, outside air is drawn into the garment 1 by two blower fans 20, and the drawn-in outside air is expelled to the outside of the garment 1 by the heat exhaust fan 7 of the cooling unit 5. In this way, the person's back is cooled. I will explain this in detail using Figures 2 and 4.
[0014] Figure 4 shows the airflow in garment 1 in Embodiment 1. The diagram on the right in Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the area around the cooling unit 5. The solid arrows in Figures 2 and 4 represent the airflow from the blower fan 20 and the exhaust fan 7 of the cooling unit 5. The dashed line represents the airflow cooled by the metal plate 12 of the cooling unit 5.
[0015] First, we will explain the airflow from the blower fan 20 and the exhaust fan 7 of the cooling unit 5. The cooling fan 20 draws outside air into the garment 1. The air taken in is expelled from clothing 1 mainly through the following three pathways. (1) The air is discharged from the waist to the back, and then from the back to the outside of the garment 1 by the heat dissipation fan 7. (2) The air is discharged from the waist to the back, from the back to the neck, and from the neck to the outside of clothing 1. (3) The air is discharged from the waist to the abdomen, from the abdomen to the chest, from the chest to the neck, and from the neck to outside of clothing 1.
[0016] Next, we will explain the airflow (dotted line) cooled by the metal plate 12 of the cooling unit 5. As shown by the dashed line in Figures 2 and 4, the metal plate 12 of the cooling unit 5 cools the air around the metal plate 12. The metal plate 12 cools the air drawn into the garment 1 by the blower fan 20 in the space between the body and the inner fabric 3. The cooled air moves to the chest and abdominal spaces on the outer fabric 2 side of the garment 1. The air cooled on the outer fabric 2 side and the inner fabric 3 side of the garment 1 is expelled from the neck. Furthermore, some of the air cooled on the outer fabric 2 and inner fabric 3 sides of garment 1 is expelled to the outside of garment 1 by the heat dissipation fan 7. Furthermore, the metal plate 12 comes into contact with the body and cools the body.
[0017] Next, we will explain each component.
[0018] (Cooling unit) Figure 3A is a schematic perspective view of the cooling unit 5 in Embodiment 1, and Figure 3B is a schematic exploded perspective view of the cooling unit 5 in Embodiment 1.
[0019] As shown in Figure 3A, the cooling unit 5 has a cooling unit plate 14 and a housing section 18. The cooling unit plate 14 is positioned on the outside of the cooling unit 5 and holds the housing 18. The cooling unit plate 14 has a handle 15 and an exhaust port 19, and has four engagement holes 16 and four holding parts 17 on its outer circumference.
[0020] As shown in Figure 3B, the cooling unit 5 has a heat dissipation fan 7, a heat exchange plate 8, a Peltier element 9, and a metal plate 12 in its housing section 18.
[0021] Figure 3C is a schematic cross-sectional view of the area around the Peltier element 9 in Embodiment 1. As shown in Figure 3C, the Peltier element 9 has a cooling section 10a, a heating section 10b, and a semiconductor 11 between the cooling section 10a and the heating section 10b.
[0022] When an electric current flows through the Peltier element 9, the heating section 10b generates heat and the cooling section 10b cools down.
[0023] The heat exchange plate 8 is in contact with the heating unit 10b, and the heat from the heating unit 10b is transferred to the heat exchange plate 8. The heat dissipation fan 7 expels the heat from the heat exchange plate 8 to the outside, cooling the heat exchange plate 8 and the heating unit 10b.
[0024] The cooling unit 10a and the aluminum metal plate 12 are in contact, the cooling unit 10a cools the metal plate 12, and the metal plate 12 cooled by the cooling unit 10a comes into contact with a person, allowing the person's back to be cooled.
[0025] (Detachable unit) Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the detachable unit 30 in garment 1 of Embodiment 1. The upper right of Figure 6 is an enlarged view of the detachable unit 30. Figure 7 is the detachable unit 30 in Embodiment 1. This diagram shows the state in which clothing item 1 is sandwiched between the two parts. The detachable unit 30 is provided on the garment 1 and allows the cooling unit 5 to be attached to or removed from it. As shown in Figure 7, the detachable unit 30 has an inner plate 31 and an outer plate 32, and the detachable unit 30 is fixed to the back fabric 3 and the inner inner lining 125 by sandwiching the back fabric 3 and the inner inner lining 125 between the inner plate 31 and the outer plate 32.
[0026] As shown in Figure 7, the inner plate 31 has eight inner plate holes 38. As shown in Figure 5B, the outer plate 32 has four U-shaped projections 34 on its outer surface. Each of these U-shaped projections 34 forms a cavity 35. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing the inside of the garment 1 with the cooling unit 5 removed in Embodiment 1. The upper right of Figure 8 is an enlarged view of the area around the cooling unit opening 60. Note that the inner lining 125 in Figure 8 has the mesh pattern from Figure 6 removed for clarity. As shown in Figure 7, the outer plate projection 39 of the outer plate 32 protrudes through the back fabric hole 42 provided in the back fabric 3 and the inner inner hole 43 provided in the inner inner 125. The protruding outer plate projection 39 and the inner plate hole 38 provided in the inner plate 31 engage with each other, sandwiching the back fabric 3 and the inner lining 125.
[0027] As shown in Figure 7, when the inner plate 31 and the outer plate 32 are fitted together, the metal plate 12 of the cooling suit unit 5 penetrates the cooling unit opening 60 provided in the back fabric 3 and the detachable unit opening 61 provided in the inner lining 125, and the metal plate 12 comes into contact with the body.
[0028] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the fitting of the inner plate 31 and the outer plate 32, a garment reinforcing member 40 is provided inside the back fabric 3.
[0029] (Method for attaching and detaching the cooling unit and the detachable unit) The method for removing the cooling unit 5 from the detachable unit 30 will be explained using Figures 5A and 5B. Figure 5A shows the state in which the cooling unit 5 and the detachable unit 30 are fixed together.
[0030] Initially, as shown in Figure 5A, the hollow portion 35 of the detachable unit 30 and the holding portion 17 of the cooling unit 5 are fitted together. At this time, the projection 34 is located closer to the neck of the back fabric 3 (upper left of the page) than the engagement hole 16, and the engagement hole 16 is open.
[0031] Next, as shown in Figure 5B, the knob 15 is used to move the knob 15 toward the neck side (upper left side of the paper), and the cooling unit 5 is moved until the engagement hole 16 is in the position of the projection 34.
[0032] Finally, by pulling the cooling unit 5 outwards, the cooling unit 5 can be removed from the detachable unit 30.
[0033] This section describes how to attach the cooling unit 5 to the detachable unit 30.
[0034] Conversely to the above, first, as shown in Figure 5B, the engagement hole 16 of the cooling unit 5 is fitted into the projection 34.
[0035] Next, as shown in Figure 5A, the gripping part 15 is used to move the gripping part 15 to the bottom edge side (lower right side of the paper) of the back fabric 3, and the cooling unit 5 is moved to a position where the projection 34 and the holding part 17 are in partial contact.
[0036] Finally, move the cooling unit 5 until it clicks into place, fully engaging the projection 34 and the retaining part 17. In this way, the cooling unit 5 can be attached to the detachable unit 30.
[0037] According to the above embodiment, the cooling unit 5 can be easily attached to or detached from the garment 1 by attaching the cooling unit 5 to the detachment unit 30 or detaching it from the detachment unit 30.
[0038] (Method for attaching and detaching the detachable unit from clothing) Figure 8 shows the state in which the cooling unit 5, the detachable unit 30, and the blower fan 20 have been removed from the garment 1. The upper right of Figure 8 is an enlarged view of the area around the cooling unit opening 60, which will be described later. As shown in Figure 8, garment 1 has a cooling unit opening 60 and a detachable unit opening 61. As shown in the enlarged view of Figure 6, the inner plate 31 has eight inner plate holes 38, and the outer plate 32 has eight outer plate protrusions 39. In this case, the outer plate protrusions 39 penetrate the inner plate holes 38. Next, we will explain how to attach the detachable unit 30 to the garment 1.
[0039] First, as shown in Figure 7, the outer plate projection 39 of the outer plate 32 is inserted into the back fabric hole 42 and the inner hole 43, causing the outer plate projection 39 to protrude from the back fabric hole 42 and the inner hole 43.
[0040] Next, the protruding outer plate projection 39 and the inner plate hole 38 are fitted together. In this way, the outer plate projection 39 and the inner plate hole 38 sandwich the back fabric 3, allowing the detachable unit 30 to be attached to the garment 1.
[0041] Next, we will explain how to remove the detachable unit 30 from the garment 1.
[0042] First, the protruding outer plate projection 39 and the inner plate hole 38 are disengaged.
[0043] Next, the inner plate 31 is removed from the garment 1.
[0044] Finally, the outer plate projection 39 is pulled out from the detachable unit opening 61, and the outer plate 32 is pulled out from the garment 1. In this way, the detachable unit 30 can be removed from the garment 1. According to the above embodiment, the detachable unit 30 can be easily attached to and detached from the garment 1.
[0045] (Air blower fan) As shown in Figures 2 and 6, the left and right sides of garment 1 are provided with two blower fans 20 and two blower fan supports 21. The blower fan supports 21 are made of thick fabric embedded inside the back fabric 3 and support the blower fans 20.
[0046] The blower fan 20 has a blower fan body 26 positioned inside the garment 1. The blower fan body 26 is equipped with a motor and a fan.
[0047] As shown in Figure 8, the back fabric 3 is provided with a fan through-hole (not shown) that penetrates the fan support 21. The blower fan body 26 is passed through the blower fan through-hole, and the blower fan 20 is fixed to the garment 1.
[0048] (Inner lining) Figure 9A is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the garment sleeve opening 120 (collectively referred to as the right-side garment sleeve opening 120R and the left-side garment sleeve opening 120L) and the inner sleeve opening 131 (collectively referred to as the right-side inner sleeve opening 132R and the left-side inner sleeve opening 132L) in Embodiment 1, and Figure 9B is a schematic diagram showing another positional relationship between the garment sleeve opening 120 and the inner sleeve opening 131 in Embodiment 1.
[0049] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, an inner lining 125 is provided inside garment 1. Garment 1 has a cooling unit opening 60 in the center, a right sleeve opening 120R on the right side, and a left sleeve opening 120L on the left side.
[0050] The inner lining 125 has a detachable unit opening 61 in the center, a right inner lining sleeve opening 132R on the right side, and a left inner lining sleeve opening 132L on the left side. Furthermore, the inner lining 125 has a right inner lining upper sleeve portion 130U above the right inner lining sleeve opening 132R, a right inner lining lower sleeve portion 130D below the right inner lining sleeve opening 132R, a left inner lining upper sleeve portion 140U above the left inner lining sleeve opening 132L, and a left inner lining lower sleeve portion 140D below the left inner lining sleeve opening 132L.
[0051] The inner lining 125 is made of mesh to prevent the body from getting sweaty. The area of the cooling unit opening 60 and the detachable unit opening 61 is larger than the area of the metal plate 12, so the metal plate 12 can pass through the cooling unit opening 60 and the detachable unit opening 61.
[0052] The right inner sleeve opening 132R and the left inner sleeve opening 132L are connected to the inner main body 126. The inner sleeve opening 132R on the right side and the inner sleeve opening 132L on the left side are openings through which a person's hand can pass.
[0053] The width of the right inner upper sleeve section (130U) and the left inner upper sleeve section (140U) are wider than the straps of a backpack, and each of these sections has a certain degree of rigidity and maintains its shape. The width of the right inner inner lower sleeve section (130D) and the left inner inner lower sleeve section (140D) are both wider than the backpack straps, and each of these sections has a certain degree of rigidity and maintains its shape.
[0054] Furthermore, inner reinforcing members 133 are provided on the outer edges of the right inner sleeve opening 132R and the left inner sleeve opening 132L, respectively, thereby strengthening the rigidity of the inner lining 125.
[0055] Garment 1 is provided with a right inner inner upper sleeve fastener 136U on the upper right side and a left inner inner upper sleeve fastener 146U on the upper left side. The right inner upper sleeve portion 130U passes through the right inner upper sleeve portion stopper 136U, and the left inner upper sleeve portion 140U passes through the left inner upper sleeve portion stopper 146U. Furthermore, one end of the right inner upper sleeve fastener 136U and the left inner upper sleeve fastener 146U are equipped with hooks or the like, allowing the right inner upper sleeve 130U and the left inner upper sleeve 140U to be easily detached from garment 1.
[0056] Figure 9A is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the right side 120R of the garment sleeve opening and the right inner sleeve opening 132R, and the left side opening 120L of the garment sleeve and the left inner sleeve opening 132L in Embodiment 1. Figure 9B is another schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the right side 120R of the garment sleeve opening and the right inner sleeve opening 132R, and the left side opening 120L of the garment sleeve and the left inner sleeve opening 132L in Embodiment 1. Note that in Figures 9A and 9B, the garment 1 is shown spread out on a flat surface such as a desk, with the inside of the garment 1 facing outwards. In Figures 9A and 9B, the shaded areas represent the overlapping portions of the right sleeve opening 120R and the right inner sleeve opening 132R, and the left sleeve opening 120L and the left inner sleeve opening 132L.
[0057] In Figure 9A, the right sleeve opening 120R is completely contained within the right inner sleeve opening 132R, and the shaded area is also completely contained within the right inner sleeve opening 132R. The left sleeve opening 120L of the garment is completely contained within the left inner sleeve opening 132L, and the shaded area is also completely contained within the left inner sleeve opening 132L.
[0058] In this state, when a person puts on garment 1, they can easily put their hands through the right inner sleeve opening 132R and the right sleeve opening 120R of the garment. Furthermore, in this state, when a person puts on garment 1, they can easily put their hands through the left inner sleeve opening 132L and the left sleeve opening 120L of the garment. As a result, a person can easily put on clothing 1.
[0059] On the other hand, Figure 9B shows a state where the right sleeve opening 120R and the right inner sleeve opening 132R partially overlap (shaded area). In this case, the shaded area is smaller than the shaded area in Figure 9A. Figure 9B also shows a state where the left sleeve opening 120L and the left inner sleeve opening 132L partially overlap (shaded area). In this case, the shaded area is smaller than the shaded area in Figure 9A. In this state, when a person puts on garment 1, the person can bring their hands towards the right inner inner sleeve opening 132R and the right sleeve opening 120R (shaded area), the left sleeve opening 120L and the left inner inner sleeve opening 132L (shaded area), so that they can easily put their hands through the right inner inner sleeve opening 132R and the right sleeve opening 120R, the left sleeve opening 120L and the left inner inner sleeve opening 132L.
[0060] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram showing the inner lining 125 in the closed state in Embodiment 1. As shown in Figure 10, the inner panel 125 has hook-and-loop fasteners at the right and left ends (indicated by the dashed lines in this example). By attaching the hook-and-loop fastener on the right side to the hook-and-loop fastener on the left side, the inner lining 125 can be closed and fitted to the body. When the inner lining 125 is closed, the hook-and-loop fastener is located on the front side of the inner lining 125. As a result, the metal plate 12 and the body can be brought into close contact, as shown in Figure 4. At that time, the metal plate 12 passes through the cooling unit opening 60 and the detachable unit opening 61, and the metal plate 12 comes into close contact with the body. Furthermore, the inner lining 125 may be closed not only with hook-and-loop fasteners, but also with clasps, buttons, snaps, etc.
[0061] According to the above embodiment, the garment 1 has an inner inner lining 125 on the inside, which is equipped with a detachable unit opening 61 through which the metal plate 12 passes. By wearing the inner inner lining 125 on the body, the metal plate 12 of the cooling unit 5 can pass through the detachable unit opening 61, and the metal plate 12 can be in close contact with the body.
[0062] (Embodiment 2) Embodiment 2 is a configuration in which a person can easily put their hand through the right sleeve opening 120R and the right inner sleeve opening 132R, the left sleeve opening 120L and the left inner sleeve opening 132L. Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of the inside of garment 100 in Embodiment 2. As shown in Figure 11, the garment 100, in addition to the features of Embodiment 1, includes a right inner inner lower sleeve stopper 136D that holds the right inner inner lower sleeve portion 130D, and a left inner inner lower sleeve stopper 146D that holds the left inner inner lower sleeve stopper 146D. Furthermore, one end of the right inner inner lower sleeve fastener 136D and the left inner inner lower sleeve fastener 146D are equipped with hooks or the like, allowing the right inner inner lower sleeve 130D and the left inner inner lower sleeve fastener 146D to be easily detached from garment 100.
[0063] The garment 100 holds the right inner upper sleeve portion 130U and the right inner lower sleeve portion 130D, the left inner upper sleeve portion 140U and the left inner lower sleeve portion 140D at the upper and lower ends. As a result, when a person puts on the garment 100, the right sleeve opening 120R of the garment can be more reliably inserted into the right inner sleeve opening 132R, and the left sleeve opening 120L of the garment can be inserted into the left inner sleeve opening 132L, more reliably than in Embodiment 1.
[0064] (Embodiment 3) Embodiment 3 is a form of garment 200 obtained by omitting the right inner upper sleeve fastener 136U and the right inner lower sleeve fastener 136D, and the left inner upper sleeve fastener 146U and the left inner lower sleeve fastener 146D from Embodiment 2. According to the above embodiment, cost reduction can be achieved with a simple configuration.
[0065] Furthermore, the inventions according to Embodiments 1 to 3 can be substituted or combined, as long as no contradictions arise.
