Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fan jacket. [Background technology]

[0002] The fan jacket disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a main body worn to cover the user's upper body and a fan attached to the main body. The fan sends outside air between the main body of the fan jacket and the user's upper body. The outside air sent between the main body of the fan jacket and the user's upper body flows toward the user's head and then passes through the collar of the fan jacket to the outside. This reduces the user's perceived temperature. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-79120 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a user wears a full-body safety harness over the fan jacket, the weight of the safety harness acts on the user's shoulders, causing the portion of the jacket that corresponds to the user's shoulder to come into close contact with the user's shoulder. As a result, the flow of outside air sent between the fan jacket's main body and the user's upper body toward the user's head is blocked by the portion of the user's shoulder that comes into close contact with the main body. As a result, the outside air cannot pass through the collar of the fan jacket to the outside, making it difficult to lower the user's perceived temperature. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The means for solving the above problems and their effects will be described below. A fan jacket that solves the above problems includes a main body that is worn to cover the upper body of a user, and a fan attached to the main body. The fan sends outside air between the main body and the user's upper body. A ventilation member is placed between the main body and the user's upper body in a position corresponding to the user's shoulders. The ventilation member is rigid enough to not be crushed by a full harness-type safety belt when the user wears it over the main body, and is formed to ensure breathability between the main body and the user's upper body.

[0006] According to the above configuration, when a user wears a full-body safety harness over the fan jacket body, the weight of the safety harness is received by the ventilation member located at the user's shoulders. The ventilation member has sufficient rigidity to withstand being crushed by the safety harness, more specifically, the load from the safety harness, and is formed to ensure breathability between the fan jacket body and the user's upper body. This prevents the flow of outside air sent between the fan jacket body and the user's upper body toward the user's head from being blocked at the location corresponding to the user's shoulders. This prevents the blocking of the flow of outside air, more specifically, the blocking of the flow of outside air passing through the collar of the fan jacket body to the outside, from making it difficult to lower the user's perceived temperature.

[0007] The ventilation member may be removably attached to the main body by means of snap buttons. According to this configuration, the ventilation member can be easily attached to and detached from the main body by means of the snap buttons.

[0008] In the above-mentioned fan jacket, the ventilation member may include a back portion located in correspondence with the upper part of the user's back, and two shoulder portions located above the back portion and connected to the back portion. The two shoulder portions are located in correspondence with both shoulders of the user. Snap buttons are provided on each of the two shoulder portions at two locations spaced apart in the front-to-back direction of the user.

[0009] According to the above configuration, the shoulder portions of the ventilation member are attached to the main body with snap buttons at two locations on both shoulders of the user, spaced apart in the front-to-back direction of the user, so that the ventilation member can be securely attached to the main body.

[0010] In the above fan jacket, the ventilation member may be fixed to the main body by sewing. This configuration eliminates the need to remove the ventilation member from the main body.

[0011] In the above fan jacket, the ventilation member may include a back portion located in correspondence with the upper part of the user's back, and two shoulder portions located above the back portion and connected to the back portion. The two shoulder portions are located in correspondence with both shoulders of the user. The two shoulder portions have folds formed in positions corresponding to the front of the user's shoulders, extending in the width direction of the user, and the back portion has another fold formed in positions corresponding to the rear of the user's shoulders, extending in the width direction of the user.

[0012] According to the above configuration, the folds formed in the shoulder and back portions of the ventilation member allow the shoulder and back portions to be folded to fit the user's shoulders, improving the fit of the fan jacket to the user. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] An embodiment of the fan jacket will be described below with reference to FIGS. As shown in Figure 1, the fan jacket 11 includes a main body 13 that is worn to cover the upper body of a user 12, and a fan 14 attached to the main body 13. The fan 14 sends outside air between the main body 13 and the upper body of the user 12. The fan jacket 11 also includes a ventilation member 15. The ventilation member 15 is disposed between the main body 13 and the upper body of the user 12, at a position corresponding to the shoulders of the user 12.

[0015] 2 and 3, when the user 12 puts on a full harness-type safety belt 16 over the main body 13 of the fan jacket 11, the shoulder straps 17 of the safety belt 16 are positioned corresponding to the ventilation member 15 of the fan jacket 11 shown in Fig. 1. The ventilation member 15 has enough rigidity to not be crushed by the shoulder straps 17 of the safety belt 16 when the user 12 puts the safety belt 16 over the main body 13 as described above, and is formed to ensure breathability between the main body 13 and the upper body of the user 12.

[0016] Therefore, the outside air sent by the fan 14 between the main body 13 of the fan jacket 11 and the upper body of the user 12 flows toward the head of the user 12 as shown by the arrows in Figure 1, then passes through the ventilation member 15 and passes to the outside from the collar of the fan jacket 11. The ventilation member 15 is intended to ensure this flow of outside air even when the user 12 wears a safety belt 16 over the main body 13. By ensuring the above-mentioned flow of outside air, when the outside air passes to the outside from the collar of the fan jacket 11, the perceived temperature of the user 12 decreases accordingly.

[0017] <Details of main unit 13> As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the main body 13 of the fan jacket 11 includes a front body 18, a back body 19, a collar 20, and sleeves 21. The front body 18 and the back body 19 cover the front and back of the torso of the user 12. The front body 18 and the back body 19 are sewn together at locations corresponding to the shoulders of the user 12. A neckline 22 to which the collar 20 is attached is formed at the upper end of the front body 18 and the back body 19. Armholes 23 to which the sleeves 21 are attached are formed on both sides in the width direction at the upper end of the front body 18 and the back body 19.

[0018] Figure 6 shows the front body 18 and the back body 19 in an unfolded state. As can be seen from Figure 6, mounting parts 24 for attaching the fan 14 shown in Figure 1 are formed at the lower part of the back body 19 on both sides in the width direction. The fan 14 can be removably attached to the mounting parts 24. A holding part 25 capable of holding ice packs or the like is sewn to the center of the back body 19.

[0019] As shown in Figure 6, tape 26 for attaching ventilation member 15 is provided on the upper end of front body 18 and inside main body 13. When main body 13 is worn by user 12, tape 26 is arranged at two locations spaced apart in the up-down direction in Figure 6, which is the front-to-back direction of user 12, on both sides in the left-right direction in Figure 6, which is the width direction of user 12. Therefore, tape 26 is arranged in a total of four locations on front body 18. Furthermore, tape 26 is sewn to front body 18 in a loop shape.

[0020] <Details of ventilation member 15> 7, the ventilation member 15 includes a back portion 27 that is located corresponding to the upper back of the user 12, and two shoulder portions 28 that are spaced apart and connected to the back portion 27. The two shoulder portions 28 are located corresponding to the shoulders of the user 12 when the fan jacket 11 is worn by the user 12. Therefore, the shoulder portions 28 are located higher than the back portion 27 when the fan jacket 11 is worn by the user 12.

[0021] Folds 29 extending in the left-right direction in FIG. 7 , which is the width direction of the user 12, are formed in the two shoulder regions 28 at positions corresponding to the front shoulders of the user 12. In addition, a fold 29 extending in the width direction of the user 12 is also formed in the back region 27 at positions corresponding to the rear shoulders of the user 12. The folds 29 are achieved by forming stitches in the ventilation member 15, as shown in FIG. 8 . Forming such folds 29 in the ventilation member 15 makes it easier to bend the ventilation member 15 at the folds 29.

[0022] As shown in Figure 7, two snap buttons 30 are provided on each of the two shoulder portions 28 on one side closest to each other, spaced apart in the vertical direction in Figure 7, which is the front-to-back direction of the user 12 when the user 12 is wearing the fan jacket 11. Therefore, a total of four snap buttons 30 are provided on the two shoulder portions 28 of the ventilation member 15, two per shoulder portion 28. These snap buttons 30 are used to removably attach the ventilation member 15 to the main body 13.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 9 , the snap button 30 includes a protruding member 31 and a recessed member 32. The protruding member 31 and the recessed member 32 are attached to a cord 33 at a distance from each other, the cord 33 extending in the left-right direction in FIG. 9 , which corresponds to the width direction of the wearer 12. The cord 33 is sewn to the shoulder portion 28 of the ventilation member 15 on both sides of the recessed member 32 in the extending direction by bar tacking or the like. The side of the cord 33 to which the protruding member 31 is attached can be folded back toward the side to which the recessed member 32 is attached. By folding back the cord 33 in this way, the protruding member 31 of the snap button 30 can be fitted into the recessed member 32. Furthermore, the protruding member 31 fitted into the recessed member 32 can also be pulled out of the recessed member 32.

[0024] When the ventilation member 15 is placed at the location where it should be attached to the main body 13 of the fan jacket 11, the cords 33 of the ventilation member 15 are positioned corresponding to the tapes 26 on the front body 18 of the main body 13 shown in FIG. 6 . Then, the four cords 33 are folded back as described above and threaded through the four looped tapes 26, and the convex members 31 of the snap buttons 30 are fitted into the concave members 32, thereby attaching the ventilation member 15 to the main body 13. When removing the ventilation member 15 from the main body 13, the convex members 31 are pulled out from the concave members 32 of the four snap buttons 30, and then the cords 33 are pulled out from the looped tapes 26 on the front body 18 of the main body 13. This makes it possible to remove the ventilation member 15 from the main body 13.

[0025] Next, the effects of the fan jacket 11 of this embodiment will be described. (1) When the user 12 wears a full harness-type safety belt 16 over the main body 13 of the fan jacket 11, the load from the shoulder straps 17 of the safety belt 16 is received by the ventilation member 15 located at the shoulder of the user 12. The ventilation member 15 has a rigidity that prevents it from being crushed by the shoulder straps 17 of the safety belt 16, more specifically, the load from the shoulder straps 17 of the safety belt 16, and is formed to ensure breathability between the main body 13 and the upper body of the user 12. Therefore, the flow of outside air sent between the main body 13 of the fan jacket 11 and the upper body of the user 12 toward the head of the user 12 is not blocked at the location corresponding to the shoulders of the user 12. This prevents the blocking of the flow of outside air, more specifically, the blocking of the flow of outside air passing through the collar of the main body 13 to the outside, from making it difficult to lower the perceived temperature of the user 12.

[0026] (2) The ventilation member 15 is removably attached to the main body 13 with the snap buttons 30. Therefore, the ventilation member 15 can be easily attached to and detached from the main body 13 with the snap buttons 30.

[0027] (3) The shoulder portions 28 of the ventilation member 15 are attached to the main body 13 with snap buttons 30 at two locations on both shoulders of the user 12, spaced apart in the front-to-back direction of the user 12. This allows the ventilation member 15 to be securely attached to the main body 13.

[0028] (4) The folds 29 formed in the shoulder portions 28 and back portion 27 of the ventilation member 15 allow the shoulder portions 28 and back portion 27 to be folded to fit the shoulders of the user 12, thereby improving the fit of the fan jacket 11 to the user 12.

[0029] The above embodiment can be modified as follows, for example: The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility. The positions and number of the folds 29 in the ventilation member 15 may be changed as appropriate.

[0030] The ventilation member 15 may be fixed to the main body 13 of the fan jacket 11 by sewing or the like. In this case, the ventilation member 15 does not need to be removed from the main body 13. The positions and numbers of the cord-like members 33 and the snap buttons 30 in the ventilation member 15 may be changed as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
