DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] The present invention will be described below with reference to the following embodiment. The following is one embodiment, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0009] (Embodiment) The cold air controller 11 of the present invention is used in a cooling garment 10. Figure 1(a) shows a front view of the cooling garment 10, and Figure 1(b) shows a back view of the cooling garment 10. Figure 2(a) shows a perspective view of the cold air controller 11, Figure 2(b) shows a front view of the cold air controller 11, and Figure 2(c) shows a side view of the cold air controller 11. Controlling the cool air means restricting or changing the direction of the cool air. Cooling clothing is clothing that uses a fan or other device to guide outside air into the clothing to cool the person wearing it.

[0010] <Cooling clothing> The cooling garment 10 is a garment that cools the body of a person wearing it. The cooling garment 10 in this example is an outer garment such as a jumper. It is made of a wind-proof resin sheet such as polyester. Two fans 12 are arranged in the cooling garment 10. The fans 12 are partially visible on the side of the cooling garment 10 and guide air outside the cooling garment 10 into the cooling garment 10. A cold air controller 11 is arranged between the two fans 12. The cold air controller 11 receives the air (cold air) that the fan 12 has taken into the cooling garment 10 and guides it downward. The cold air controller is a device that changes or controls the direction of the cold air.

[0011] In this example, the cold air controller 11 is positioned near the waist of a person wearing the cooling garment 10. In this case, the cold air is directed toward the lower body to cool the person. The cold air controller 11 may be positioned not on the waist but on the upper back. It may also be positioned on the abdomen, chest, etc.

[0012] <Cool air controller 11> The cold air controller 11 has a ceiling portion 23, a bottom portion 26, a core portion 26, side portions 24, a folded portion 25, and a pressing portion 29.

[0013] Both the ceiling portion 23 and the bottom portion 26 are plate-shaped or sheet-shaped, and the ceiling portion 23 and the bottom portion 26 are connected to each other. The ceiling portion 23 may be a rectangle, which is an ellipse cut in half. The bottom portion 26 may be a rectangle, a trapezoid, a triangle, or an ellipse. The bottom portion 26 is the part that comes into close contact with a person. The ceiling portion 23 is disposed in a vertical direction relative to a person. A core portion 27 is disposed between the ceiling portion 23 and the bottom portion 26. The core portion 27 may be rod-shaped, wall-shaped, rectangular, or the like.

[0014] The side portion 24 is in the form of a belt-like sheet, connects two opposing sides of the rectangle of the bottom portion 26, and covers the core portion 27. Alternatively, the bottom portion 26 and the core portion 27 are connected together so as to form the third opening 13 or the fourth opening 14. The side surface of the side portion 24 may be used to fix the cold air controller 11 to a person with a belt or the like. For example, a portion through which a belt can be passed may be provided on the side surface of the side portion 24. With the above structure, a first opening 21, a second opening 22, a third opening 13, and a fourth opening 14 are formed. The first opening 21 and the second opening 22 are openings surrounded by a ceiling portion 23 , a bottom portion 26 and a core portion 27 . The first opening 21 and the second opening 22 are located on opposing surfaces of the core portion 27. At least, they are located on different surfaces of the core portion 27. The third opening 13 and the fourth opening 14 are openings surrounded by a side portion 24, a core portion 27, and a bottom portion 26. The third opening 13 and the fourth opening 14 are located on opposing surfaces of the core portion 27. At least, they are located on different surfaces of the core portion 27.

[0015] The first opening 21 and the third opening 13 are connected to each other via a first space. The second opening 22 and the fourth opening 14 are connected to each other via a second space. The first space is not connected to the second space.

[0016] <Flow of cold air> The cool air from the fan 12 enters the first opening 21. The cool air that enters the first opening 21 passes through the first space and is guided downward from the third opening 13. The direction in which the cool air flows is indicated by a dotted line. Similarly, the cool air that enters the second opening 22 from the fan 12 passes through the second space and is guided downward from the fourth opening 14.

[0017] The bottom portion 26 has a folded portion 25 on the side facing the ceiling portion 23, and a pressing portion 29 is provided next to the folded portion 25. The folded portion 26 is a line-shaped mountain fold. The flat surface of the bottom portion 26 is folded at the folded portion 26, and a pressing portion 29 is provided. The holding portion 29 is plate-shaped and is placed on the person side. The bent angle is not large, within a few degrees, for example, about 0.1 to 3 degrees.

[0018] The pressing portion 29 holds down underwear worn by a person, etc. This makes it possible to better guide the cool air downward from the third opening 13 and the fourth opening 14. The folding portion 26 and the pressing portion 29 are not essential elements, but it is preferable if they are present.

[0019] <Location> 3 is a cross-sectional view of the cooling controller 11 and its surroundings when a person 100 is wearing the cooling garment 10. The cold air controller 11 is positioned on the back of the person 100, around the upper part of the waist. The bottom part 26 may be curved slightly along the back so as to fit the person 100. The direction of the curve is such that the cold air controller 11 side is recessed. The cold air controller 11 is positioned inside the cooling garment 10, and the fan 12 appears on the outer surface of the cooling garment 12 and takes in air into the cooling garment 10. The fan 12 sends the taken in air to the cold air controller 11 as cold air.

[0020] <Another example> FIG. 4(a) shows an example in which the cold air controller 11 is used in trousers as the cooling garment 10. It is used on the thigh area. There are two fans 12 and one cold air controller 11. The flow of cold air is the same as in the above example. A cross-sectional view is shown in Fig. 4(b). The bottom 26 of the cool air controller 11 is curved to fit the thighs. As described above, the cold air controller 11 is located inside the cooling garment 10, and the fan 12 appears on the outer surface of the cooling garment 12 and takes in air into the cooling garment 10. The fan 12 sends the taken-in air to the cold air controller 11 as cold air.

[0021] <Effects> The cold air controller of the present invention and the cooling garment using it can control the cold air within the cooling garment and can cool a person widely. <Other> The cooling controller 11 is made of resin or plastic (polycarbonate, ABS, PVC, PE, acrylic, etc.). Each element is in sheet form, has a thickness of about 0.3 to 1.5 mm, and has a certain level of strength. It is made by resin molding. The core 27 is preferably hollow, which can reduce the weight. Alternatively, it may be thinned to form a wall.

[0022] Although there are two pairs of the first opening 21 and the third opening 13, and the second opening 22 and the fourth opening 14, either one may be used. In that case, the number of fans 12 may also be one. In the above example, the ceiling portion 23 is located upward, but the cooling controller 11 may be located upside down and the cool air may be guided upward. [Industrial Applicability]

[0023] The cool air controller of the present invention and the cooling clothing using it can be used by people who work outdoors in the summer. [Explanation of symbols]
