Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an air-conditioning garment body and an air-conditioning garment. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, air-conditioned clothing that cools the body has been put to practical use and is rapidly becoming popular. The air-conditioned clothing includes a clothing body made of a material with low breathability, two fans attached to the lower rear side of the clothing 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 clothing body from the fan, and the pressure of the drawn-in air automatically creates an air flow passage between the clothing body and the wearer's body. The drawn-in air flows through the created air flow passage along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear, and is discharged to the outside from air exhausts formed in the openings of the collar or sleeves, for example. As the taken-in air flows through the air 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). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 9. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples, and various modifications can be made to the embodiment described below without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In the following description, the front of the wearer is defined as "front," the rear of the wearer as "rear," the upper direction of the wearer as "up," the lower direction of the wearer as "down," the right hand direction of the wearer as "right," and the left hand direction of the wearer as "left," based on the state in which the wearer is wearing the air-conditioned garment 100. In addition, in the state in which the opening / closing means 111 is open, the direction in which the inner side of the garment body 1 (the side that faces the wearer's body when worn) faces is defined as "front," and the opposite direction is defined as "rear," as shown in Figs. 1, 4, and 9.

[0020] [Configuration of the first embodiment] As shown in FIG. 1, the air-conditioned garment 100 according to the embodiment comprises a garment body 1, a fan 2 that introduces air into the garment 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 and the fan 2. The air taken into the garment body 1 by the fan 2 is circulated along the surface of the wearer's body or underwear, and then discharged from air exhaust units 112 formed in the collar and sleeves of the garment body 1, thereby evaporating sweat from the body and cooling the body with the heat of vaporization generated during evaporation.

[0021] [1 Clothes body] 1 to 3, the clothing body 1 is formed in a shape that covers the torso and arms of the wearer, and is made of a clothing fabric that is either non-breathable or has a degree of breathability that allows it to be inflated by the introduction of air by a fan 2. In Figs. 1 to 3, the clothing body 1 is formed in the shape of a blouson-type upper garment, but the shape of the clothing body 1 is not limited to this, and may be formed, for example, in the shape of a vest that covers only the torso of the wearer.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, the clothing body 1 comprises a main body portion 11 which forms the main body of the clothing body 1, a first detachable portion 12 formed to be freely attached and detached to the main body portion 11, and a second detachable portion 13 formed to be freely attached and detached to the main body portion 11.

[0023] [(1) Main body] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 and 8 to 9, the main body 11 is the main part of the clothing body 1 formed to cover the upper torso and arms of the wearer, and is equipped with an opening / closing means 111, an air exhaust section 112, a power supply unit holding means 113, a recessed section 114, a first line fastener 115, a second line fastener 116, a first snap button 117, and a cable holding means 118.

[0024] [a Opening and closing means] The opening / closing means 111 is a means for opening and closing the front of the clothing body 1 when the clothing body 1 is opened at the front and the air-conditioned clothing 100 is worn, and is formed by dividing the front body part of the main body part 11 into left and right parts at the center in the left-right direction and providing both sides with, for example, linear fasteners so that the divided parts can be attached and detached freely, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 4, 5 and 9.

[0025] [b Air exhaust section] The air exhaust section 112 is an opening for exhausting air that has been introduced by the fan 2 into the space between the clothing main body 1 and the wearer's body through a fan mounting hole 121 formed in the first attachment / detachment section 12 described below, 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 main body section 11, and an opening between the wearer's arm and the end of the sleeve of the main body section 11, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 8 to 9.

[0026] [c Power supply unit holding means] The power supply unit holding means 113 is a means for holding the power supply unit 3 in a position where it can supply power to the fan 2 through the connection cable 4, and for example, as shown in Figures 1, 4 and 9, a pocket capable of storing the power supply unit 3 provided on the inner surface of the clothing body 1 can be used. Figures 1, 4 and 9 show the case where the power supply unit holding means 113 is a pocket provided on the inner surface of the clothing body 1, but the specific configuration of the power supply unit holding means 113 is not limited to this as long as it can hold the power supply unit 3 in a position where it can supply power to the fan 2 through the connection cable 4.

[0027] [d concave part] 2 to 5 and 8, the concave portion 114 is formed at a position extending from the rear side of the wearer to the front side of the wearer at the lower end of the main body portion 11, excluding the vicinity of the opening / closing means 111. Note that the concave portion 114 is not limited to the approximate trapezoidal shape shown in the figures, and may be, for example, semicircular or rectangular.

[0028] [e First Line Fastener] The first line fastener 115 is a means for removably attaching the first detachable portion 12 to the main body portion 11, and is arranged near and along the recessed portion 114 of the main body portion 11, as shown in Figures 1, 4, 5 and 9.

[0029] The first line fastener 115 includes a line fastener element (teeth) that meshes with an element (teeth) of a third line fastener 122 provided on the first detachable part 12 described below, thereby enabling the first detachable part 12 to be detachably attached to the main body part 11. In other words, the first line fastener 115 functions as a first attachment means in the present invention.

[0030] In addition, with regard to the opening and closing parts of the line fastener, such as a slider, Figures 4 and 5 show a case in which the first line fastener 115 is not provided, but the third line fastener 122 of the first attachment / detachment portion 12 is provided with the parts, but the first line fastener 115 may also be provided with them.

[0031] [f 2nd line fastener] The second line fastener 116 is a means for removably attaching the second detachable portion 13 to the main body portion 11, and is arranged near and along the recessed portion 114 of the main body portion 11, as shown in Figure 5.

[0032] The second line fastener 116 is positioned outside (away from the wearer's body) the first line fastener 115 in a position overlapping with the first line fastener 115 in a front view with the opening / closing means 111 in an open state as shown in Figures 1, 4 and 9.

[0033] The second line fastener 116 includes a line fastener element (teeth) and meshes with an element (teeth) of a fourth line fastener 131 provided on the second detachable part 13 described below, thereby enabling the second detachable part 13 to be detachably attached to the main body part 11. In other words, the second line fastener 116 functions as a second attachment means in the present invention.

[0034] In addition, with regard to the opening and closing parts of the line fastener, such as a slider, Figure 5 illustrates a case in which the second line fastener 116 is not provided, but is provided by the fourth line fastener 131 of the second attachment / detachment portion 13, but it is also possible for the second line fastener 116 to be provided with the slider. Also, the second line fastener 116 is preferably a line fastener having the same configuration as the first line fastener 115, including common elements (teeth) and the like.

[0035] [g 1st snap button] The first snap button 117 is a means for removably attaching the first detachable part 12 or the second detachable part 13 to the main body part 11, and as shown in Figures 4 and 5, is arranged in two locations near both the left and right ends of the recessed part 114 with the engagement parts facing inward (towards the wearer's body).

[0036] The first snap button 117 can be engaged with either the second snap button 123 provided on the first detachable portion 12 described below or the third snap button 132 provided on the second detachable portion 13 described below, thereby allowing the left and right ends of the first detachable portion 12 or the second detachable portion 13 to be detachably attached to the main body portion 11.

[0037] The first snap button 117 is configured to be able to engage with either the second snap button 123 provided on the first detachable portion 12 or the third snap button 132 provided on the second detachable portion 13. When only the first detachable portion 12 is attached to the main body 11 and used, the first snap button 117 is used in engagement with the second snap button 123 provided on the first detachable portion 12, and when only the second detachable portion 13 is attached to the main body 11 and used, the first snap button 117 is used in engagement with the third snap button 132 provided on the second detachable portion 13. Furthermore, when both the first detachable part 12 and the second detachable part 13 are attached to the main body part 11 and used, the first snap button 117 is used by engaging with the third snap button 132 provided on the second detachable part 13 located on the outside (the side farther from the wearer's body).

[0038] Therefore, when the first snap button 117 is used in engagement with the second snap button 123 provided on the first attachment / detachment portion 12, it functions as the first attachment means of the present invention together with the first line fastener 115, and when the first snap button 117 is used in engagement with the third snap button 132 provided on the second attachment / detachment portion 13, it functions as the second attachment means of the present invention together with the second line fastener 116.

[0039] [h Cable retention means] As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 9, the cable holding means 118 is a means for holding the connection cable 4 on the inner side of the clothing body 1, and is formed into a ring shape with an opening through which the connection cable 4 can be inserted by sewing a long piece of cloth in the vertical direction at two points, top and bottom, like a typical belt loop, and is configured so that the connection cable 4 can be held by inserting it through the opening.

[0040] [(2) First detachable part] As shown in Figures 1, 6 and 8, the first detachable portion 12 is a sheet-like member formed to be freely attached and detached to the main body portion 11, and is formed in an approximately trapezoidal shape corresponding to the shape of the concave portion 114 of the main body portion 11, and is provided with a fan mounting hole 121, a third line fastener 122, and a second snap button 123.

[0041] [a Fan mounting hole] The fan mounting hole 121 is a circular hole that connects the space between the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body with the space outside the clothing body 1 when the air-conditioned clothing 100 is worn, and is formed in a portion of the first attachment / detachment part 12 that corresponds to the left and right sides of the wearer's waist when the first attachment / detachment part 12 is attached to the main body part 11, as shown in Figures 1, 6 and 8.

[0042] The diameter of the fan mounting hole 121 is formed to be approximately the same as the diameter of the fan 2 described below, and by attaching the fan 2 so that it passes through the fan mounting hole 121, outside air can be taken in through the fan mounting hole 121 into the space between the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body. It is preferable that the area around fan mounting hole 121 is reinforced by, for example, attaching a flat annular member made of plastic or the like, or by folding back and sewing the portion of the sheet-like member constituting first detachable part 12 around fan mounting hole 121.

[0043] [b 3rd Line Fastener] The third line fastener 122 is a means for removably attaching the first detachable portion 12 to the main body portion 11, and is arranged along the upper end and left and right ends of the first detachable portion 12, as shown in Figures 1 and 6.

[0044] The third line fastener 122 includes a line fastener element (teeth), which meshes with an element (teeth) of the first line fastener 115 provided on the main body 11, thereby enabling the first removable part 12 to be detachably attached to the main body 11. Although the opening and closing parts of the line fastener such as a slider are illustrated in the third line fastener 122 in FIG. 6, they may be provided on the first line fastener 115 of the main body 11.

[0045] [c 2nd snap button] The second snap buttons 123 are means for removably attaching both left and right ends of the first removable part 12 to the main body part 11, and as shown in Figure 6, are arranged in two locations near both left and right ends of the first removable part 12 so that when attached to the main body part 11, the engagement parts face outward (the side away from the wearer's body, rearward in Figure 6).

[0046] The second snap buttons 123 can be engaged with the first snap buttons 117 provided on the main body 11 to detachably attach the left and right ends of the first removable part 12 to the main body 11. Although the first removable part 12 can be detachably attached to the main body 11 only by the third line fastener 122, by further providing the second snap buttons 123 near both the left and right ends, when the second snap buttons 123 are engaged with the first snap buttons 117, the risk of the first removable part 12 being unintentionally detached from the main body 11 can be reduced.

[0047] [(3) Second detachable part] As shown in Figures 2, 3, 7 and 9, the second detachable portion 13 is a sheet-like member formed to be freely attached and detached to the main body portion 11, and is formed in a generally trapezoidal shape that is generally the same as the first detachable portion 12 to correspond to the shape of the concave portion 114 of the main body portion 11, and is equipped with a fourth line fastener 131 and a third snap button 132.

[0048] [a 4th line fastener] The fourth line fastener 131 is a means for removably attaching the second detachable portion 13 to the main body portion 11, and is arranged along the upper end and left and right ends of the second detachable portion 13, as shown in Figures 7 and 9.

[0049] The fourth line fastener 131 includes a line fastener element (teeth), which meshes with an element (teeth) of the second line fastener 116 provided on the main body 11, thereby enabling the second detachable part 13 to be detachably attached to the main body 11. Although the opening and closing parts of the line fastener such as a slider are illustrated in the fourth line fastener 131 in FIG. 7, they may be provided on the second line fastener 116 of the main body 11.

[0050] [b 3rd snap button] The third snap button 132 is a means for removably attaching both left and right ends of the second detachable portion 13 to the main body portion 11, and as shown in Figure 7, is arranged at two locations near both left and right ends of the second detachable portion 13 so that the engagement portion faces outward (the side away from the wearer's body, rearward in Figure 7) when attached to the main body portion 11.

[0051] The third snap button 132 can be engaged with the first snap button 117 provided on the main body 11 to detachably attach the left and right ends of the second detachable part 13 to the main body 11. Although the second detachable part 13 can be detachably attached to the main body 11 only by the fourth line fastener 131, by further providing the second snap buttons 123 near both left and right ends, when the second snap buttons 123 are engaged with the first snap buttons 117, the risk of the second detachable part 13 being unintentionally detached from the main body 11 can be reduced.

[0052] [2 Fans] 1 and 8, the fan 2 is attached to the clothing body 1 so as to pass through a fan mounting hole 121 of the first attachment / detachment part 12, and serves to introduce air into the space between the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body through the fan mounting hole 121. Necessary power is supplied to the fan 2 from a power supply unit 3 via a connection cable 4. The fan 2 is attached to the clothing body 1 by inserting it through the fan mounting hole 121, and its specific configuration is arbitrary as long as it can introduce air into the space between the clothing body 1 and the wearer's body.

[0053] [3 Power supply section] The power supply unit 3 is a member for supplying power to the fan 2 and may, for example, include a lithium-ion battery pack with a safety protection circuit attached, and is connected to the fan 2 via a connection cable 4 as shown in Fig. 1. The power supply unit 3 also includes a switch for switching the power supplied to the fan 2 on and off. The power supply unit 3 may have any specific configuration as long as it is capable of supplying power to the fan 2.

[0054] [4 Connection cable] As shown in FIG. 1, the connection cable 4 is a cable that connects the power supply unit 3 and the fan 2, and the power required for operating the fan 2 is supplied from the power supply unit 3 to the fan 2 through 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.

[0055] [Effects of the second embodiment] According to the air-conditioned garment 100 of this embodiment, the garment body 1 comprises a main body portion 11 and a first detachable portion 12 formed so as to be freely attached and detached to the main body portion 11, and a fan mounting hole 121 for attaching a fan 2 is formed in the first detachable portion 12. Therefore, when the garment body 1 is used for purposes other than as an air-conditioned garment, the first detachable portion 12 provided with the fan mounting hole 121 can be removed.

[0056] This makes it possible to use the clothing body 1 with just the main body part 11, or to attach other components to the main body part 11 in place of the first attachment part 12, thereby expanding the uses of the clothing body of the air-conditioned clothing.

[0057] Incidentally, the area around the fan mounting hole 121 is usually reinforced to prevent the fan 2 from falling off, and is formed harder than other parts of the clothing body 1, so the presence of the fan mounting hole 121 may cause the area around the fan mounting hole 121 to be uncomfortable to wear, for example, when the clothing body 1 is used as an inner garment to be worn under other clothing. In this regard, if the area around the fan mounting hole 121 could be removed, this risk would be eliminated, so even when only the main body 11 is used, the clothing body of the air-conditioned clothing could be used in a wider range of applications, for example, as an inner garment to be worn under other clothing.

[0058] Furthermore, the air-conditioned garment 100 according to this embodiment is provided with the second detachable part 13 formed on the main body part 11 so as to overlap the first detachable part 12, and by attaching and detaching the second detachable part 13, it is possible to switch, for example, between a state in which the fan mounting hole 121 is covered by the second detachable part 13 and a state in which the fan mounting hole 121 is not covered by the second detachable part 13. This makes it easy to use the main body of the air-conditioned garment for purposes other than the air-conditioned garment, without attaching or detaching the first detachable part 12. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, if only the second detachable part 13 is attached to the main body part 11 without attaching the first detachable part 12, the area near the lower end will not be doubly layered with the first detachable part 12 and the second detachable part 13, and the configuration can be made closer to that of a normal upper garment.

[0059] Furthermore, by providing such a second attachment / detachment part 13, it is possible to cover the fan 2 with the second attachment / detachment part 13 while the fan 2 remains attached to the fan mounting hole 121 of the first attachment / detachment part 12. As a result, by attaching and detaching the second attachment / detachment part 13, it is easy to switch between a state in which the fan 2 is covered as shown in Figure 3 and a state in which the fan 2 is exposed as shown in Figure 8. Therefore, for example, in order to prevent dust and water droplets from entering the inside of the fan 2 or the inside of the garment body 1, it is easy to cover the fan 2 with the second attachment / detachment part 13 when not in use as the air-conditioned garment, and to expose the fan 2 only when it is being used as the air-conditioned garment.

[0060] Furthermore, according to the air-conditioned garment 100 of this embodiment, the main body 11 is separately provided with a first line fastener 115 as a first attachment means for removably attaching the first detachable part 12, and a second line fastener 116 as a second attachment means for removably attaching the second detachable part 13. This makes it easier to switch between the first detachable part 12 and the second detachable part 13, for example, compared to when the first detachable part 12 and the second detachable part 13 are selectively attached to a single attachment means, and further expands the uses of the main body of the air-conditioned garment, for example, by simultaneously attaching the first detachable part 12 and the second detachable part 13 when it is desired to increase thermal insulation in cold weather.

[0061] In addition, in the above, we have described the case where the first detachable portion 12 is attached to the first line fastener 115 as the first attachment means, and the second detachable portion 13 is attached to the second line fastener 116 as the second attachment means. However, since the first detachable portion 12 and the second detachable portion 13 are formed in approximately the same trapezoidal shape and both the first attachment means and the second attachment means include line fasteners, if the first line fastener 115 and the second line fastener 116 are line fasteners having the same configuration with common elements (teeth), etc., it is also possible to swap the first detachable portion 12 and the second detachable portion 13 and attach the third line fastener 122 of the first detachable portion 12 to the second line fastener 116 and the fourth line fastener 131 of the second detachable portion 13 to the first line fastener 115. This makes it possible to further expand the uses of the air-conditioning garment itself.

[0062] In order to enable the above-mentioned interchangeable installation, it is preferable that the first line fastener 115 and the second line fastener 116 are line fasteners having the same configuration with common elements (teeth), etc.; however, since the first detachable part 12 having the fan mounting hole 121 should normally be installed on the inside and the second detachable part 13 on the outside, in order to prevent mistakes in such normal installation positions, the first line fastener 115 and the second line fastener 116 may be configured differently, for example by having different elements (teeth) or by only one having an opening and closing part such as a slider.

[0063] Moreover, according to the air-conditioned garment 100 of this embodiment, the main body 11 of the clothing body 1 is provided at its lower end with a recessed portion 114 formed so as to be recessed upward, and a first line fastener 115 as first attachment means for attaching the first detachable portion 12 and a second line fastener 116 as second attachment means for attaching the second detachable portion 13 are arranged along the recessed portion 114. As a result, the first detachable portion 12 and the second detachable portion 13 are located at the lower end of the clothing body 1, so that the portion requiring connection with the main body 11 can be shortened, making it easier to attach and detach the first detachable portion 12 and the second detachable portion 13 to and from the main body 11.

[0064] Furthermore, because the recessed portion 114 is formed at the lower end of the main body portion 11 of the clothing body 1 in a position extending from the back side of the wearer to the front side of the wearer, it becomes possible for the wearer of the air-conditioned garment 100 to visually confirm the attachment portions of the first attachment / detachment portion 12 and the second attachment / detachment portion 13 to the main body portion 11. This makes it easier for the wearer to attach and detach the first attachment / detachment portion 12 and the second attachment / detachment portion 13 to and from the main body portion 11 even when the wearer is wearing the air-conditioned garment 100. In addition, since the concave portion 114 is formed over the range from the back side of the wearer to the front side of the wearer at the lower end of the main body portion 11, it is possible to make the area of ​​the first detachable portion 12 and the second detachable portion 13 larger.

[0065] [Third Modification] In the above, the first line fastener 115 (and the first snap button 117) is used as the first attachment means for attaching the first detachable part 12, and the second line fastener 116 (and the first snap button 117) is used as the second attachment means for attaching the second detachable part 13. However, the first attachment means may be any means capable of detachably attaching the first detachable part 12 to the main body part 11, and the second attachment means may be any means capable of detachably attaching the second detachable part 13 to the main body part 11, and neither is limited to such a configuration. Furthermore, if the first line fastener 115 and the second line fastener 116 are configured to be covered by the concave portion when viewed from the surface facing the outside (the side away from the wearer's body), the first line fastener 115 and the second line fastener 116 are configured not to be visible from the outside, and therefore the appearance when worn is good.

[0066] For example, it is possible to have only a first line fastener 115 as the first attachment means and a second line fastener 116 as the second attachment means without having the first snap button 117, or it is also possible to use hook-and-loop fasteners, buttons, etc. in addition to the first line fastener 115 and the second line fastener 116, or instead of the first line fastener 115 and the second line fastener 116. However, from the standpoint of preventing air leakage when used as air-conditioned clothing, ease of putting on and taking off, and strength when worn, it is most preferable to use a linear fastener.

[0067] In the above description, the first removable part 12 is a sheet-like member having only the fan mounting hole 121, the third fastener line 122, and the second snap button 123, and the second removable part 13 is a sheet-like member having only the fourth fastener line 131 and the third snap button 132. However, the first removable part 12 and / or the second removable part 13 may have further configurations, and further functions may be added to the clothing body 1 by attaching these. For example, the first removable part 12 and / or the second removable part 13 may be provided with a heating means such as a planar heater, and the clothing may be used as a heated garment by using a power source that drives the fan. In this case, the first removable part 12 and the second removable part 13 may be used separately, or the first removable part 12 and the second removable part 13 may be used in combination. Also, the power source does not necessarily have to use the power source unit 3 for driving the fan, and a separate power source for heating may be prepared. [Explanation of symbols]
