Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, in a situation where there is a possibility of being attacked by a cutting tool such as a knife or a kitchen knife, not only is there a risk that the wearer of the anti-cutting clothing will be attacked, but there is also a risk that a person not wearing the anti-cutting clothing, such as a person under protection, will be attacked. Among conventional anti-cutting clothing including the inventions according to Patent Documents 1 and 2, there was no provision for emergency response by people around the injured person.

[0007] Further, for example, the anti-cutting clothing disclosed in Patent Document 1 fixes the clothing body made of a metal plate to the body with a belt, so it is very heavy, there are restrictions on movement when wearing it, and it is difficult to wear it for a long time. There was also a problem that it was not easy to put on and take off, so the responsiveness to emergencies was poor.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation. One of the objects of the present invention is to provide anti-cutting clothing with excellent detachability and rich responsiveness to emergencies. Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

[0009] The anti-blade clothing according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises a substantially rectangular fabric made of an anti-blade material containing any one of cellulose nanofibers, aramid fibers, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, PBO fibers, liquid crystal polymer fibers, or an anti-blade material containing a nylon-based high-density knitted fabric; a head insertion part provided as an opening in the central part of the fabric for the wearer's head to pass through; when the wearer wears the fabric through the head insertion part with the fabric folded in half so as to be substantially rectangular, the opposing sides in the unfolded fabric located in the left-right direction toward the wearer are defined as side parts, the opposing sides in the unfolded fabric located in the downward direction toward the wearer are defined as bottom parts, the fabric in the folded state appearing on the front side of the wearer is defined as the front part, and the fabric in the folded state appearing on the rear side of the wearer is defined as the rear part, a connecting part respectively provided at the side part or the edge of the side part, capable of connecting the front part and the rear part in the folded state and releasing the connected state; and a handle part provided at a plurality of locations on the fabric, capable of being used as a stretcher in the state where the connecting part is released and the fabric is unfolded.

[0010] According to the above configuration, it is made of a lightweight anti-blade material and can be worn in a shoulder-hung manner through the head insertion part, so it is easy to move and can be quickly put on and taken off, solving the problems such as "operation limitation due to weight" and "difficulty in putting on and taking off" in the prior art. In addition, the connecting part provided at the side part can stably hold the wearing state, so the protection performance is also ensured. Furthermore, since the handle part is provided on the fabric that can be unfolded into a substantially rectangular shape, it can be used as a stretcher in an emergency, enabling utilization as a means for transporting the injured, which is not seen in the prior art, and contributing to rescue activities.

[0011] Also, the anti-blade clothing according to the second aspect of the present invention can be configured such that the anti-blade material contains cellulose nanofibers.

[0012] According to the above configuration, since cellulose nanofibers are used as the anti-blade material, it is extremely lightweight while exhibiting high anti-blade properties. Therefore, it is suitable for long-term wear and contributes to reducing the fatigue of the wearer. In addition, since cellulose nanofibers are composed of plant-derived renewable resources, compared with anti-blade clothing made of conventional synthetic fibers, the environmental impact during manufacturing and disposal is low, and it is possible to provide anti-blade clothing that is excellent from the perspective of sustainability.

[0013] In addition, the anti-blade clothing according to the third aspect of the present invention can be configured to further include a crease portion that divides the front portion and the rear portion of the fabric to facilitate folding in half.

[0014] According to the above configuration, even when the fabric is difficult to bend, it can be folded in half. In addition, due to the crease portion formed around the head insertion portion, the front portion and the rear portion naturally fold down, and a shoulder-hanging form that fits at an appropriate position is formed. As a result, the wearing state is naturally adjusted according to the physique of the wearer, the ease of wearing is improved, the adhesion to the body is increased, and the protective effect is improved.

[0015] In addition, the anti-blade clothing according to the fourth aspect of the present invention can be configured such that the handle portion is composed of a substantially arc-shaped band or string protruding outward from each of the lower side portions.

[0016] According to the above configuration, even when wearing gloves or the like, it is easy to grip and a stable conveying operation is realized. As a result, the operability during emergency conveyance is improved, which contributes to the speed of rescue.

[0017] In addition, the anti-blade clothing according to the fifth aspect of the present invention can be configured such that the handle portion is provided in the vicinity of each of the lower side portions and consists of an opening into which a person can insert a hand and grip.

[0018] According to the above configuration, by forming the handle portion inside the fabric, while suppressing the bulkiness during storage, a configuration is achieved in which a hand can be inserted into the opening and a secure grip can be performed. As a result, it is excellent in both portability and transportability, enabling rapid and stable rescue activities, and ensuring the safety of rescue.

Note that the sizes and positional relationships of the members shown in each drawing may be exaggerated for clarity of explanation. Further, in the following description, the same names and reference numerals indicate the same or similar members, and detailed descriptions will be omitted as appropriate. Furthermore, each element constituting the present invention may be configured such that a plurality of elements are formed of the same member and one member serves as a plurality of elements, or conversely, the function of one member may be realized by sharing among a plurality of members. [Anti-blade clothing 1] [First Embodiment]

[0021] The anti-blade clothing 1 according to the first embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the anti-blade clothing 1 is made of a substantially rectangular fabric 11 composed of anti-blade material, and includes a front portion 112, a rear portion 113, a head insertion portion 111, side portions 114, a lower side portion 115, a crease portion 12, a connecting portion 13, and a handle portion 14 as main components. Each component will be described below. 〈Fabric 11〉

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fabric 11 is a fabric 11 made of a substantially rectangular anti-blade material. For the anti-blade material, cellulose nanofibers, aramid fibers, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, PBO fibers, liquid crystal polymer fibers, and nylon-based high-density knitted fabrics are used. Each anti-blade material will be shown below.

[0024] Cellulose nanofibers are often used as a composite material rather than alone. The anti-blade performance is medium, the cost is medium, and the ease of movement is high. The characteristics are lightweight, high strength, high elasticity, and high transparency and barrier properties. Since it is plant-derived, the environmental load during production and disposal is low.

[0025] Aramid fibers have high anti-blade performance, medium cost, and medium ease of movement. The characteristics are excellent in high strength, heat resistance, and cut resistance, and although there is a slight sense of weight, it is flexible. There is a possibility of deterioration in long-term ultraviolet rays.

[0026] Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers have very high anti-blade performance, high cost, and high ease of movement. The characteristics are excellent in high toughness and impact resistance. It is lightweight and has a specific gravity so small that it floats in water, is resistant to chemicals, but is weak to heat.

[0027] PBO fibers have very high anti-blade performance, very high cost, and medium ease of movement. The characteristics are the highest class of strength and elastic modulus among existing ones and are strong against high temperatures, but are weak to moisture and ultraviolet rays, and are expensive and difficult to handle.

[0028] Liquid crystal polymer fibers have high anti-blade performance, high cost, and medium ease of movement. The characteristics are high strength, low elongation, excellent dimensional stability, high chemical resistance and heat resistance, but are slightly hard.

[0029] Nylon-based high-density knitted fabrics have low blade resistance, low cost, and very high mobility. Their characteristics are softness and emphasis on mobility. They are poor in blade resistance when used alone but are used in multi-layer structures and composite materials.

[0030] According to the usage conditions of the anti-blade clothing 1, the anti-blade material is selected based on factors such as anti-blade performance, cost, and mobility.

[0031] In recent years, environmental impacts and sustainability during manufacturing and disposal have become major issues. In such cases, cellulose nanofibers, which are composed of plant-derived renewable resources, are extremely lightweight yet can exhibit high blade resistance, making them suitable for long-term wear and contributing to reducing the fatigue of the wearer M, are optimal. 《Head insertion part 111》

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the head insertion part 111 is a long hole opened in the central part of the fabric 11. Through this head insertion part 111, the wearer M puts on the anti-blade clothing 1 so that it hangs down from the shoulders of the wearer M to the front and back. 《Front part 112, Rear part 113》

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the wearer M puts on the front part 112 and the rear part 113 through the head insertion part 111, the fabric 11 that is folded in half and hits the chest of the wearer M is the front part 112, and the fabric 11 that hits the back of the wearer M is the rear part 113. 《Side part 114》

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the side parts 114 are the opposing sides in the unfolded fabric 11 that are positioned in the left-right direction toward the wearer M. 《Bottom part 115》

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the bottom part 115 is the opposing sides in the unfolded fabric 11 that are positioned downward toward the wearer M. 〈Crease part 12〉

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the crease portion 12 divides the front portion 112 and the rear portion 113 of the fabric 11. Due to the crease portion 12 formed around the head insertion portion 111, the front portion 112 and the rear portion 113 are naturally folded down, and a shoulder-hanging form that fits in an appropriate position is formed. Thereby, the wearing state is naturally adjusted according to the physique of the wearer M, the wearing convenience is improved, the adhesion to the body of the wearer M is increased, and the protection effect is improved. 〈Connecting portion 13〉

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the connecting portion 13 is provided at the side edge portion 114 of the front portion 112 and the rear portion 113 or at the edge of the side edge portion 114, respectively. When using a hook-and-loop fastener, snap button, magnetic fastener, buckle, etc. for the connecting portion 13, the connecting portion 13 provided on the back side (the side that hits the chest of the wearer M) of the side edge portion 114 of the front portion 112 and the connecting portion 13 provided on the back side (the side that hits the back of the wearer M) of the side edge portion 114 of the rear portion 113 are connected. When using a fastener or the like for the connecting portion 13, the connecting portion 13 provided at the edge of the side edge portion 114 of the front portion 112 and the connecting portion 13 provided at the edge of the side edge portion 114 of the rear portion 113 are connected. Since it is connected in this way, as shown in FIG. 2, the wearing state of the anti-blade clothing 1 can be stably maintained, and thus the protection performance is also ensured. The position of the connecting portion 13 is attached at a position that does not interfere with the movement of the arm in the wearing state. In addition, the connecting portion 13 has a hook-and-loop fastener, snap button, magnetic fastener, buckle, fastener, etc., but it is not limited to these as long as it can easily connect and release the connected state. 〈Handle portion 14〉

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the handle portion 14 is a substantially arc-shaped band or string protruding outward from the lower side portions 115 of the unfolded front portion 112 and the rear portion 113, and four are provided on the lower side portion 115. Therefore, even when wearing gloves, it is easy to grip and a stable carrying operation can be realized. In addition, the substantially arc-shaped band or string of the handle portion 14 is provided with an anti-slip process such as embossing, so that it is easy for the carrier to hold for a long time.

[0039] In this embodiment, it is in the form of a substantially arc-shaped band or string, but it does not have to be substantially arc-shaped as long as it fits the hand and does not cause hand pain even when held for a long time. Also, in this embodiment, four handle portions 14 are described, but the number is not limited to this as long as it is easy for the carrier to hold. 〔Second Embodiment〕

[0040] The anti-blade clothing 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention differs from the first embodiment only in that instead of the substantially arc-shaped band or string handle portion 14 that protrudes outward from each of the lower side portions 115 in the first embodiment, an opening 15 is adopted that is provided inside the lower side portion 115 and into which a person can insert a hand and hold it. 〈Opening 15〉

[0041] As shown in FIG. 4, the opening 15 is an opening 15 provided inside the lower side portions 115 of the unfolded front portion 112 and rear portion 113 into which a person can insert a hand and hold it. Four openings 15 are provided in the lower side portion 115. Since the opening 15 is a cutout formed inside the fabric 11 and does not protrude from the fabric 11 at all and thus does not get in the way, it can be smoothly attached and detached, suppressing bulkiness during storage, and allowing a hand to be inserted into the opening 15 for secure gripping. Therefore, it is excellent in attachability / detachability, portability, and transportability, enabling quick and stable rescue activities and ensuring rescue safety.

[0042] In this embodiment, the opening 15 is in the shape of a long hole, but the opening 15 can be of any shape as long as a hand can be inserted and held for a long time. Also, in this embodiment, four openings 15 are described, but the number is not limited to this as long as it is easy for the carrier to hold. [Method of Wearing the Anti-Blade Clothing 1]

[0043] The method of wearing the anti-blade clothing 1 is as shown in Fig. 2. The wearer M puts their head through the head insertion part 111 of the fabric 11. Due to the crease part 12 formed around the head insertion part 111, the front part 112 and the rear part 113 naturally fold down, forming a shoulder-hanging form where the front part 112 fits at the position of the wearer M's chest and the rear part 113 fits at the position of the wearer M's back. The connecting parts 13 respectively provided at the side edges 114 or the edges of the side edges 114 of the front part 112 are connected to the connecting parts 13 respectively provided at the side edges 114 or the edges of the side edges 114 of the rear part 113 to maintain the worn state. Also, by opening the connecting parts 13 respectively provided at the side edges 114 or the edges of the side edges 114 of the front part 112 and the connecting parts 13 respectively provided at the side edges 114 or the edges of the side edges 114 of the rear part 113, the anti-blade clothing 1 can be easily taken off from the head, so it can be easily put on and taken off. [Method of Using the Anti-Blade Clothing 1 as a Stretcher]

[0044] As shown in Fig. 3, the fabric 11 is unfolded and spread out. The injured person F is placed on the back side of the front part 112 (the side that touches the chest of the wearer M) and the back side of the rear part 113 (the side that touches the back of the wearer M). Ensure that the head and buttocks of the injured person F are firmly placed on the fabric 11. Several people hold the handle part 14 by hand and carry the injured person F. Note that the back side of the front part 112 (the side that touches the chest of the wearer M) and the back side of the rear part 113 (the side that touches the back of the wearer M) are subjected to anti-slip processing (not shown in the figure), and the configuration is such that the injured person F is not easily displaced or fallen off.
