Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a blanket with a hood, and more particularly to a blanket with a hood that can integrally cover the parts that are easily affected by direct sunlight from the head to the fingers, can ensure a heat escape path so that heat does not accumulate, and can further effectively cool the neck area.

Background Art

[0002] During hot seasons such as summer, sunshade goods are widely used, and various goods for protecting not only the head but also the body such as the neck and shoulders from direct sunlight have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a spare garment that can be attached to an existing garment for sunshade or cold protection. Specifically, a spare garment is proposed in which the sheet body is composed of an upper edge part, left and right front joining parts, left and right front skirt parts, and a rear skirt part, and the lines forming the upper edge part, the left and right front joining parts, the left and right front skirt parts, and the rear skirt part are integrally cut. Also, Patent Document 2 proposes a sunshade coat with a hood that can suppress the temperature rise inside the coat by sufficiently ensuring air permeability while blocking sunlight. Specifically, a sunshade plate for blocking sunlight is supported by a vertically tape-shaped suspension member to ensure air permeability while blocking sunlight. The sunshade plate uses sponge or a similar material to suppress the temperature rise inside the coat and ensure comfort. A constriction is provided on the side of the end of the sunshade plate that contacts the body to further enhance air permeability and promote heat radiation. A sunshade coat with a hood has been proposed.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. The blanket 1 with a hood according to the present embodiment is a blanket with a hood that can be used as a poncho, as shown in FIG. 2. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it includes a rectangular main body 10, a hood portion 20 provided at the center of the long side portion 11 of the main body 10 so as to protrude outward from the main body 10, and a pocket portion 30 provided at the center of the long side portion 11 where the hood portion 20 is provided and facing inward of the main body (the side that contacts the user when worn). Hereinafter, it will be described in more detail.

[0011] 〔Main body〕 The main body 10 is rectangular, and a hood portion 20 and a locking portion 50 described later are formed on one long side 11. Further, on the other long side 13, finger insertion portions 40 formed by fixing tape-like members to both ends thereof are provided. The main body 10 is formed of a fabric having both moisture permeability (breathability) and light-shielding properties, and more preferably having a cooling sensation performance. Its periphery is folded and sewn or bag-sewn in the same manner as a normal blanket. As the fabric having the above-described performance, a polyester fiber-made deer skin fabric having heat shielding properties, breathability, UV cut properties, moisture absorption and cooling sensation properties, and rapid water absorption and drying properties (for example, product name "TPR3598 Polyester Kanoko" manufactured by SHANGHAI XINGTEX CO., LTD) can be preferably used. The size of the main body can be variously set according to the user and is not particularly limited. Usually, it is preferable that the long side is 100 to 170 cm and the short side is 40 to 75 cm. Also, the ratio of the short side to the long side is preferably short side: long side = 4 to 7: 10, and more preferably 4 to 5: 10. In the embodiment, it is 4.5: 10. (Pocket portion) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the pocket portion 30 is a rectangular bag body, and one of its long sides is not sealed to form an opening 31. The size of the pocket portion is not particularly limited as long as it can store a coolant 37 such as a cold insulation material (see FIG. 4) and the folded main body 10 and the hood portion 20 therein (see FIG. 5). However, from the perspective of the above storage, the length of the long side is preferably 15 to 25 cm, and the short side is preferably 8 to 15 cm. Further, among the unsealed side edges on the opening 31 side of the pocket portion 30, the side edge 33 located on the main body 10 side extends from the opening 31 and is connected and fixed to the main body 10 by being sewn to the long side of the main body 10 or the like. The pocket portion 30 can be formed using the same material as the main body. (Finger insertion part) At both ends of the long side 13 facing the long side 11 provided with the hood portion 20 of the main body 10, tape-like members 41 are respectively fixed to form a finger insertion portion 40. The tape-like members 41 are connected and fixed by sewing both ends thereof to the long side and the short side of the main body 10 or the like, and are installed so as to be inclined with respect to the main body 10. The material of the tape-like member 41 is preferably a stretchable tape, and for example, a grosgrain tape made of polyester can be used. Further, the length of the tape-like member 41 may be a length that allows the hand to easily enter and is not too large, and is preferably 3 to 10 cm.

[0012] [Hood portion] The hood part 20 is composed of a hood main body 21 that wraps around the user's head when worn, and a base part 23 for connecting the hood main body 21 to the long side 11 (side edge of the main body) of the main body. The base part 23 is made wider than the width of the hood main body 21. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the hood main body 21 is formed in a substantially isosceles triangle shape by two folded fabrics, and when the user inserts their head between these two fabrics, it functions as a hood. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the hood part 20 is formed by sewing two square fabrics 20' so that one side of each abuts against each other at the central portion of one long side of the main body, and then folding along the dotted line portion shown in FIG. 6(a), and finally sewing the sides 20a' of the abutting fabrics 20' together. The width w2 of the base part 23 is preferably 1.8 to 2.2 times the width w1 at the central portion (central in the height direction) of the hood main body 21 from the viewpoint of protecting the body from sunlight and maximizing the cooling effect of the coolant placed in the pocket part 30. Regarding this point, as will be described later, the position of the locking part is also important. The hood part 20 can also be formed using the same material as the main body 10. (Locking part) In the present embodiment, a pair of locking parts 50 are formed outside the both end edges 25, 25 of the base part 23 so that the user's neck can be sealed by locking the locking parts 50 when worn. The locking part 50 is composed of a first locking part 51 formed by installing a button 55 as a locking member on a grograin tape 53 as a buffer member on the inner side (the side in contact with the user) of the main body 10, and a second locking part 57 formed by directly installing a button 59 on the main body 10. In this way, since a buffer member is provided on one side, the locking becomes easy, and it is difficult for the discomfort in the wearing feeling caused by the tightening feeling around the neck during wearing to occur. As a result, the wearing feeling is good. The first locking portion 51 and the second locking portion 57 are both located outside the edge 25 of the proximal end 23 (on the short side of the main body 10) and closer to the edge 25 than the center between the edge 25 and the edge of the long side 11. By arranging them in such a position, as shown in FIG. 2, the neck can be sealed at a position with excellent wearing comfort (no compressive feeling, sufficient shading effect of sunlight, and direct sunlight not hitting the skin), and when the neck is sealed, the main body portion 19 outside the locking portion 50 (see FIG. 2) exists to cover the front body of the user to the extent shown in FIG. 2. Thereby, there is a sufficient shading effect, and the cooling effect when the coolant is placed in the pocket portion 30 inside the poncho-shaped blanket 1 can be enhanced. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the user can easily move the hand, and even when the hand is raised, the upper arm portion can be shaded, so that the influence of sunlight can be minimized.

[0013] 〔Usage mode and working effects〕 As shown in FIG. 2, the blanket 1 of the present embodiment can be used by covering the hood portion 20 on the head and fastening the buttons of the first locking portion 51 and the second locking portion 57 to lock the locking portion and seal the neck. At that time, as shown in FIG. 3, the fingers can be inserted into the finger insertion portion 40 by inserting the hand between the main body 10 and the tape-shaped member 41 and used. Thereby, it can cover up to the fingertips and can effectively block light. In addition, although the blanket 1 of the present embodiment has a cooling effect based on a sufficient shading effect, as shown in FIG. 4, by putting the coolant 35 in the pocket portion 30, the back side of the neck, which is said to be effective as a measure against heat stroke, can be cooled. Thereby, the user's body can be better protected from heat (such as heat outdoors in summer) than when simply blocking light. Also, after use, as shown in FIG. 5, the blanket 1 is folded from the unfolded state along the dotted line shown in the figure as a fold line, and is woven and folded smaller in order as shown in the arrow direction, and can be folded into a compact form. By inserting the folded main body and hood portion into the pocket portion 30, it can be carried and stored compactly.

[0014] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, it can be directly wound around the lower body of the user and used for heat insulation (blocking sunlight) of the lower body. In addition, by using a water-repellent material as the forming material of the blanket, it can also be used as a rain poncho with a heat insulation effect.
