Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a garment body for fan-powered clothing and to a fan-powered clothing. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, fan-equipped clothing that cools the body has come into practical use and is rapidly becoming more and more popular. Fan-equipped clothing includes a garment body made of a material with low breathability, two fans attached to the lower rear side of the garment body, a power supply unit for supplying power to the two fans, and a power cable for electrically connecting the power supply unit and the two fans.

[0003] When the fan is operated, a large amount of air is drawn into the garment body from the fan, and the pressure of the drawn-in air automatically forms an air flow passage between the garment body and the wearer's body. The drawn-in air flows through the formed air flow passage along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear, and is discharged to the outside from an air exhaust section formed, for example, at the rear collar or at the openings of the sleeves of the garment body. As the taken-in air flows through the air flow passages between the garment body and the wearer's body or underwear, it evaporates sweat from the body, and the body is cooled by the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a fan-equipped wear according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples.

[0014] In the following description, the state in which the wearer is wearing the fan-equipped wear 100 is taken as the basis, and the front side of the wearer is defined as front, the back side of the wearer as back, the upper side of the wearer as top, the lower side of the wearer as bottom, the right hand side of the wearer as right, and the left hand side of the wearer as left.

[0015] [Configuration of the embodiment] 1, fan-equipped wear 100 according to an embodiment comprises a wear body 1, a fan 2 that introduces air into the wear body 1, a power supply unit 3 that supplies power to the fan 2, and a connection cable 4 that connects the power supply unit 3 to the fan 2. The fan-equipped wear 100 evaporates sweat from the body by circulating air taken into the wear body 1 by the fan 2 along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear, thereby cooling the body with the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation.

[0016] {Clothing} 1, the garment body 1 is made of a fabric C that is either non-breathable or has enough breathability to be inflated by the introduction of air by a fan 2, and is configured to have a front body CF that covers at least a part of the front of the wearer's body, a back body CB that covers at least a part of the back of the wearer's body, and sleeves CS that cover the wearer's arms. The garment body 1 also includes, for example, an opening / closing means 11, air leakage prevention means 12, a fan mounting hole 13, a mounting hole reinforcing member 14, an air exhaust section 15, a power supply unit holding means 16, a cable holding means 17, and a facing section 18. The garment body 1 is configured so that outside air taken in by the fan 2 through the fan mounting hole 13 is exhausted from the air exhaust section 15.

[0017] (Opening and closing means) The opening / closing means 11 is for opening and closing the front of the garment body 1 when the garment body 1 is opened at the front and the fan-equipped garment 100 is worn, and divides the front body CF of the garment body 1 into a left front body CFL and a right front body CFR as shown in Fig. 1. The opening / closing means 11 is formed by providing, for example, linear fasteners on both sides of the left front body CFL and the right front body CFR to make the divided parts detachable.

[0018] (Air leakage prevention means) 1, the air leakage prevention means 12 is provided at the bottom of the garment body 1 and is a means for preventing air in the space between the garment body 1 and the wearer's body from leaking to the outside through the bottom hem of the garment body 1. The air leakage prevention means 12 is formed, for example, by providing an elastic member such as an elastic cord near the end of the bottom of the garment body 1 so as to go around the wearer's body. When the fan-equipped garment 100 is worn, the air leakage prevention means 12 narrows the bottom hem of the garment body 1 to fit closely to the wearer's body, preventing air from leaking to the outside through the bottom of the garment body 1.

[0019] In addition, when the garment body 1 is formed with a tapered hem or when the hem of the garment body 1 is tucked into trousers, or when the amount of air flowing out from the hem is small, it is not necessarily necessary to provide air leakage prevention means 12.

[0020] (Fan mounting hole) 1, the fan mounting holes 13 are circular holes formed in the back body CB of the fabric C that forms the garment body 1, at positions corresponding to the left and right of the wearer's waist. When the fan-equipped garment 100 is worn, the fan mounting holes 13 connect the space between the garment body 1 and the wearer's body with the space outside the garment body 1. By attaching the fan 2 so that it passes through the fan mounting hole 13, outside air can be taken into the garment body 1 through the fan mounting hole 13.

[0021] The positions at which the fan mounting holes 13 are formed are not limited to the positions mentioned above, and they may also be formed in the front body CF or on the sides of the garment body 1. The number of fan mounting holes 13 is not limited to two, and a smaller or larger number of fan mounting holes 13 may be formed and a corresponding number of fans 2 may be attached. The shapes of the fan mounting holes 13 and the fans 2 are not limited to circular.

[0022] (Mounting hole reinforcement member) 1, the mounting hole reinforcing member 14 is a flat, annular member made of, for example, plastic, and has a hole 141 in its center that is approximately the same size as the fan mounting hole 13. The mounting hole reinforcing member 14 is attached to the inner surface of the garment body 1 so that the hole 141 overlaps the fan mounting hole 13. This reinforces the area around the fan mounting hole 13 in the garment body 1, making it easier to mount the fan 2 in the fan mounting hole 13 and also making it more difficult for the mounted fan 2 to come off.

[0023] The attachment hole reinforcing member 14 can be attached by any method such as sewing or bonding to the fabric C that forms the garment body 1. A lining that covers the attachment hole reinforcing member 14 from the inner side of the garment body 1 may also be provided.

[0024] It is also possible to adopt a configuration without the mounting hole reinforcing member 14, although this reduces the ease of mounting the fan 2 and the resistance to removal of the fan 2.

[0025] (Air exhaust section) The air exhaust section 15 is an opening for discharging the air introduced from the fan mounting hole 13 by the fan 2 after circulating it along the wearer's body or underwear, and is formed in an opening between the wearer's neck and the end of the collar of the garment body 1 (an opening between the wearer's head and the end of the hood when the wearer wears the hood of the garment body 1) and an opening between the wearer's arm and the end of the sleeve section CS of the garment body 1, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0026] The air exhaust section need only be capable of discharging the air introduced through the fan mounting hole 13 by the fan 2 after circulating it along the wearer's body or underwear, and its position of formation is not limited to the collar and cuffs.

[0027] (Power supply holding means) 1, the power supply unit holding means 16 is a pocket formed on the inner surface of the garment body 1, and holds the power supply unit 3. In FIG. 1, the power supply unit holding means 16 is shown provided at a lower left position of the front piece CF of the garment body 1, but is not limited to this and may be provided at any position on the inner surface of the garment body 1.

[0028] It is not necessary to use a pocket as the power supply unit holding means 16, and any configuration can be adopted as long as it is possible to attach the power supply unit 3 to the garment body 1. Furthermore, it is also possible not to provide the garment body 1 with the power supply unit holding means 16, and instead to attach the power supply unit 3 to the belt of the wearer's trousers using a clip or the like, so that the power supply unit 3 is not attached to the garment body 1.

[0029] (Cable holding means) As shown in FIG. 1, the cable holding means 17 is a means for holding the connection cable 4 on the inner surface of the garment body 1, and is formed, for example, in a ring shape having an opening through which the connection cable 4 can be inserted, and is configured so that the connection cable 4 can be held by inserting it through the opening.

[0030] The cable holding means 17 may be of various shapes and materials as long as it can hold the connection cable 4 at a predetermined position on the inner surface of the garment body 1. For example, it may be formed by sewing a long piece of cloth in the vertical direction at two positions, one above the other, like a general belt loop. The position of the arrangement is not limited to that shown in FIG.

[0031] (Inside cover) 2 is an enlarged view of the facing parts 18, 18. The facing parts 18, 18 are front facing parts provided on the back side portions of the left front body CFL and the right front body CFR near the opening / closing means 11, respectively, so as to extend in the vertical direction. The facing part 18 has its upper and lower ends, and the opening / closing means 11 side in the left-right direction, sewn to the fabric C, and the side facing the opening / closing means 11 is a free end, and forms an air flow passage between the facing part 18 and the front body CF in normal times, which circulates the air taken in by the fan 2. The facing part 18 has an engaging part 181 and an engaged part 182.

[0032] <Engagement part> The engagement portion 181 is a member that engages the facing portions 18, 18 together. The engagement portion 181 is, for example, a dot button. When the facing portions 18, 18 are engaged with each other by the engagement portion 181, the distance between the facing portions 18 becomes zero, and the length of the front body CF in the left-right direction is shortened accordingly, and the gap between the front body CF and the wearer's body is reduced. This prevents air taken into the garment body 1 from the fan 2 from flowing along the front body CF and being discharged from the front collar portion and hitting the wearer's face.

[0033] <Locked part> The locked portion 182 is provided further up than the engaging portion 181 on the facing portion 18, and engages with a locking portion L provided on the back side of the front body CF. If the locking portion L is, for example, a button, the locked portion 182 is, for example, a buttonhole. When the locked portion 182 is locked to the locking portion L, no space is formed between the facing portion 18 and the front body CF that functions as an air flow passage. Therefore, air taken into the garment body 1 from the fan 2 flows between the wearer's body and the front body CF, and the garment can be used as a normal fan-equipped garment.

[0034] Furthermore, it is preferable that at least one of the engagement portions 181 is provided above the lower end of the armhole to which the sleeve portion CS is sewn. Such an arrangement makes it possible to prevent the air taken in by the fan 2 from being restricted from being exhausted through the sleeve portion CS.

[0035] On the other hand, it is preferable that the engaging portion 181 is provided about 20 cm below the upper end of the inside return portion 18. With this configuration, the engaging portion of the engaging portion 181 has a V-neck shape, so that the engaging portion 181 is less noticeable even if the opening / closing means 11 is slightly open.

[0036] {fan} 1, the fan 2 is attached to the garment body 1 so as to pass through a fan mounting hole 13, and serves to introduce air through the fan mounting hole 13 into the space between the garment body 1 and the wearer's body. Necessary power is supplied to the fan 2 from a power supply unit 3 via a connection cable 4. Any configuration can be used for the fan 2, as long as it is attached to the garment body 1 so as to pass through the fan mounting hole 13, and can introduce air into the garment body 1.

[0037] {Power supply section} The power supply unit 3 is a member for supplying power to the fan 2 and may, for example, include a built-in lithium-ion battery pack with a safety protection circuit, and is connected to the fan 2 via a connection cable 4. The specific configuration of the power supply unit 3 is arbitrary as long as it can supply power to the fan 2.

[0038] {Connection cable} The connection cable 4 is a cable that connects the power supply unit 3 and the fan 2, and the power required to operate the fan 2 is supplied from the power supply unit 3 to the fan 2 via the connection cable 4. The connection cable 4 may have any specific configuration as long as it can supply the power required to operate the fan 2 from the power supply unit 3 to the fan 2. It is also possible to configure the fan 2 and the power supply unit 3 to be directly connected without providing the connection cable 4. The fan 2 and the power supply unit 3 may also be integrated.

[0039] [Effects of the embodiment] The front body CF of the wear body 1 of the fan-equipped wear according to this embodiment has a pair of facing parts 18, 18 on the back side, and the pair of facing parts 18, 18 each have an engagement part 181, 181 that engage with each other. FIG. 3 shows a top view of a wearer wearing the wear body 1 in normal conditions, and FIG. 4 shows a top view of the wearer with the engagement parts engaged. As shown in FIG. 4, in this configuration, when the engagement parts 181 are engaged with each other and the distance between the facing parts 18 is set to zero, the gap between the wearer's body and the front body CF is reduced. Therefore, air taken into the wear body 1 from the fan 2 flows along the front body CF side and is prevented from being exhausted from the front collar part and hitting the face, thereby improving the comfort of the wearer.

[0040] In addition, with this configuration, under normal circumstances, the engagement parts 181 are separated to allow air to be exhausted from the front collar part of the garment body 1, and when an air flow passage is difficult to form on the back body CB side, such as when sitting in a chair with a backrest, the engagement parts 181 are engaged to prevent air from being exhausted from the front collar part and hitting the face, making it possible to use the configuration according to the situation.

[0041] Furthermore, since the engagement portion 181 can be any suitable known structure such as a snap button, it can be manufactured without significantly increasing costs compared to the garment body of conventional fan-equipped garments.

[0042] Furthermore, the facing part 18 of the wear body 1 of the fan-equipped wear according to this embodiment has an engaged part 182 that engages with the back side of the front body CF, above the engaging part 181. As shown in Fig. 5, in this configuration, when the engaged part 182 is engaged with the engaging part L, no space that functions as an air flow passage is formed between the facing part 18 and the front body CF. Therefore, air taken into the wear body 1 from the fan 2 flows between the wearer's body and the front body CF, and the wearer can use the wear as a normal fan-equipped wear.

[0043] Furthermore, at least one of the engagement parts 181 of the garment body 1 of the fan-equipped garment according to this embodiment is located above the lower end of the armhole. With this configuration, air taken into the garment body 1 from the fan 2 is discharged from the air discharge part 15 in the sleeve portion CS, providing the effect of fan-equipped garment 100.

[0044] [Modifications, etc.] Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes the scope of the invention described in the claims of the utility model registration and its equivalents.

[0045] For example, in the above example, a configuration was given in which the fan-equipped garment body 1 had sleeves CS, but the present invention is also applicable to a garment body 1 that does not have sleeves CS, such as a tank top type garment.

[0046] In addition, in the above, the engaging portion 181 is a dot button, the locked portion 182 is a button hole, and the locking portion L is a button, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener. However, since it is undesirable for the engaging portions 181, 181 to engage with each other unintentionally while the wearer is wearing the garment body 1, or for the locked portion 182 to lock with the locking portion L, it is preferable to use the above-mentioned button.

[0047] 2 shows an example of a configuration in which one end cover 18 has two engaging portions 181 and one locked portion 182, but the present invention is not limited to this and there may be more or less engaging portions 181 and more locked portions 182. Therefore, the engaging portions 181, locked portions 182, and locking portion L may be formed as necessary. [Explanation of symbols]
