[0009] The present inventors have conducted extensive research to solve the above-mentioned problems, and have found that by forming part or all of the sleeves as removable movable sleeves, removably joining the movable sleeves to the body or fixed sleeves fixed to the body via a detachment mechanism, and arranging an air leakage suppression mechanism that is stretchable in the circumferential direction at an opening of the body or fixed sleeves on the side where the movable sleeves are joined, it is possible to ensure safety during work by the sleeves, while improving the cooling performance for the body both when the movable sleeves are attached and when the movable sleeves are removed. Specifically, safety can be ensured during work by joining the movable sleeve portion to the body or the fixed sleeve portion via a detachable mechanism. Normally, when the movable sleeve is removed, the air taken in by the wind generating device flows out from the opening on the side of the body or fixed sleeve where the movable sleeve is joined, reducing the flow to the neck, chest, upper back, etc., which are areas that are effective for heat exchange because they sweat a lot and where large blood vessels are located, and reducing the cooling performance for the body. However, in the present invention, an air leakage suppression mechanism that is stretchable in the circumferential direction is placed in the opening on the side of the body or fixed sleeve where the movable sleeve is joined, thereby preventing the air taken in by the wind generating device from leaking out from the opening at the joint and ensuring the flow to the neck, chest, upper back, etc., thereby providing excellent cooling performance for the body.

[0010] Hereinafter, an air-conditioning garment according to one or more embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to what is shown in these drawings.

[0011] Fig. 1 is a schematic front view of an air-conditioning garment (long sleeves) according to one example of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic back view of the air-conditioning garment. Fig. 3 is a schematic front view of the air-conditioning garment when it is turned inside out and with the movable sleeves removed. Fig. 4 is a schematic back view of the air-conditioning garment when it is turned inside out and with the movable sleeves removed. Figs. 5 and 6 are partial schematic front views of the air-conditioning garment when it is turned inside out and with the movable sleeves removed. Figs. 7 and 8 are partial schematic side views of the air-conditioning garment. Figs. 9 to 11 are schematic cross-sectional views of the joint between the body and the movable sleeves in the air-conditioning garment. Fig. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the location of a chest pocket in the air-conditioning garment.

[0012] In the air-conditioned garment 1, sleeves 2 that cover the arms are joined to a body 4 at the shoulders, and the sleeves 2 form fully removable movable sleeve sections 3. A detachment mechanism 5 is provided at the joint between the movable sleeve section 3 and the body 4, and the movable sleeve section 3 is detachably joined to the body 4 via the detachment mechanism 5.

[0013] In this embodiment, the attachment / detachment mechanism 5 is disposed on the back side (body side) of the body 4. In this case, as shown in Figures 5 and 7, a slit 7 may be provided at the bottom of the opening of the body 4 and at the top of the joined part of the front body 41 and the back body 42. When the slit 7 is opened, the attachment / detachment mechanism 5 can be seen as shown in Figure 8, and opening the slit 7 makes it easier to attach and detach the movable sleeve 3.

[0014] The detachment mechanism may be located on the back side (body side) or the front side (opposite the body side) of the body, but is preferably located on the back side (body side) of the body from the viewpoint of aesthetics. Also, it is usually desirable to locate the detachment mechanism near the opening of the joint between the movable sleeve and the body or fixed sleeve, for example, in an area 0.1 to 10.0 cm away from the end of the opening.

[0015] The detachment mechanism 5 is composed of a first connecting part 51 provided on the body 4 and a second connecting part 52 provided on the movable sleeve 3. The first connecting part 51 can be attached to the body 4 by, for example, sewing. The second connecting part 52 can be attached to the movable sleeve 3 by, for example, sewing.

[0016] The first connecting part and the second connecting part are not particularly limited as long as they can be detachably joined to each other, and can be configured, for example, by a fastener (also called a line fastener), a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap button, etc. From the viewpoint of increasing the air pressure inside the garment, it is preferable to configure them by a fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, etc., and it is more preferable to configure them by a fastener because of their excellent washing durability. Examples of fasteners include metal fasteners, resin fasteners, Vislon (registered trademark) fasteners, etc. Examples of hook-and-loop fasteners include polyester Velcro (registered trademark), etc. Examples of snap buttons include metal snap buttons, resin snap buttons, etc.

[0017] Figure 9 shows a case where the detachment mechanism 5, i.e., the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 52, are configured with a zipper, Figure 10 shows a case where the detachment mechanism 5, i.e., the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 52, are configured with a hook-and-loop fastener, and Figure 11 shows a case where the detachment mechanism 5, i.e., the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 52, are configured with snap buttons.

[0018] An air leakage suppression mechanism 6 is disposed in the opening of the body 4 on the side where the movable sleeve 3 is joined. The air leakage suppression mechanism 6 is stretchable in the circumferential direction, and the diameter of the opening of the body 4 on the side where the movable sleeve 3 is joined can be adjusted. Specifically, the air leakage suppression mechanism 6 can shrink the diameter of the opening of the body 4 so that it fits closely to the wearer's body. Also, if necessary, it can be stretched to the same size as the circumferential direction of the body 4 at the air leakage suppression mechanism attachment position. When the air leakage suppression mechanism is shrunk, specifically when it is shrunk so that it fits closely to the human body, it is preferable that the attachment / detachment mechanism does not shrink. This results in a good appearance and is less likely to hinder arm movement.

[0019] The air leakage prevention mechanism may be placed on the back side (human body side) of the body or on the front side (opposite the human body side), but from the standpoint of air leakage prevention and aesthetics, it is preferable for it to be placed on the back side (human body side) of the body.

[0020] The air leakage suppression mechanism may be located closer to the cuff than the detachable mechanism (first connecting portion) or farther from the cuff, but from the viewpoint of improving cooling of the chest, neck, and upper back, it is preferable that the air leakage suppression mechanism be located farther from the cuff than the detachable mechanism (i.e., closer to the center of the body). It is more preferable that at least a part of the air leakage suppression mechanism is located in the area covering the clavicle to the humerus. When the air leakage suppression mechanism is located in the area covering the acromion to the humerus, it is possible to prevent air leakage without impeding the movement of the elbow joint.

[0021] The air leakage suppression mechanism 6 is composed of a main body 61 attached to the back side of the body 4, a string-passing part 62 provided at a non-fixed end (end not attached to the body) of the main body 61, and a string 63 inserted into the string-passing part 62, and the opening diameter of the string-passing part 62 can be adjusted by the string 63. The main body 61 is preferably tubular so that the arm can pass through it. The main body 61 can be attached to the body 4 by, for example, sewing. When the movable sleeve part is removed, the string 63 is tightened to reduce the opening diameter of the string-passing part 62 until it fits closely to the human body, and the opening diameter of the opening of the body 4 is also tightened to fit closely to the human body, thereby suppressing air leakage from the opening of the body 4. When the string 63 is tightened, the opening diameter of the string-passing part 62 is smaller than the circumference of the attachment / detachment mechanism 5. Furthermore, when the movable sleeve portion is joined to the body, the opening diameter of the string-passing portion 62 can be extended to its maximum, for example to the same size as the circumferential direction of the body 4 at the attachment position of the main body portion 61, by loosening the string 63. Note that when the movable sleeve portion is joined to the body, it is not necessary to loosen the string 63, if necessary.

[0022] The main body 61 may be made of a stretchable fabric having stretchability in the circumferential direction, or may be made of a non-stretchable fabric. When the main body 61 is made of a stretchable fabric, the main body 61 alone may function as an air leakage suppression mechanism by adjusting the stretchability of the stretchable fabric without providing a string-passing section and a string. From the viewpoint of a good wearing comfort and easy adjustment of the opening diameter as necessary, it is preferable that the main body 61 is made of a non-stretchable fabric and / or a stretchable fabric and is provided with a string-passing section 62 and a string 63. From the viewpoint of stretchability, a rubber string can be suitably used as the string 63. In the main body 61, the stretchable fabric is preferably one having an elongation rate of 10% in the body width direction (circumferential direction) measured under conditions of a load of 17.6 N and a tensile speed of 200 mm / min based on JIS L 1096 8.14.1 A method.

[0023] When the air leakage prevention mechanism is composed only of the main body portion, it can be provided, for example, by attaching an elastic fabric that is stretchable in the longitudinal direction to the opening on the side where the fixed sleeve portion or the movable sleeve portion of the body is joined so that the longitudinal direction coincides with the circumferential direction of the detachable portion.

[0024] 9 to 11, the air leakage suppression mechanism 6 is composed of a main body 61 attached to the back side of the body 4, a string-passing part 62 provided at a non-fixed end of the main body 61, and a string 63 inserted into the string-passing part 62. The main body 61 is attached to the back side of the body 4 by sewing so that the string-passing part 62 is located farther from the opening end of the body 4 and inside the garment than the attachment / detachment mechanism 5 (specifically, the first connecting part 51). The air leakage suppression mechanism 6, specifically the main body 61, is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to attach it to the back side of the body 4 by sewing at a position 0.1 cm to 30.0 cm away from the attachment / detachment mechanism 5 (specifically, the first connecting part 51) and close to the center of the body. The main body may be attached to the back side of the body by sewing so that the string-passing part comes out of the opening on the side where the body or the fixed sleeve part is joined to the movable sleeve part. In this case, too, the opening diameter of the string passage can be reduced by tightening the string so that the garment fits closely to the human body. In this case, the main body part protruding from the opening may function as a sleeve.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 6, tightening the string 63 reduces the opening diameter of the string-passing part 62. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 5, loosening the string 63 can expand the opening diameter of the string-passing part 62 to the same size as the circumferential direction of the body 4 at the attachment position of the main body part 61.

[0026] 3, 5, and 6, the two string holes 64 of the string passage part 62 are disposed at a position close to the chest area on the front body side of the main body part 61. The opening diameter of the string passage part 62 can be adjusted by adjusting the tightening of the strings 63 pulled out from the string holes 64. Also, the strings 63 may be maintained in a contracted state using a stopper.

[0027] The air-conditioned garment 1 may further have a chest pocket 8 that is disposed on the chest part of the front body 41, opens on the front side (opposite the human body), and has a bag part sewn to the back side (the human body side). The chest pocket 8 may have two garment side string holes 81 through which the string 63 passes on the side closer to the string hole 64. The garment side string holes 81 are disposed on the human body side of the chest pocket 8. The distance between the two garment side string holes is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 0.5 cm or more and 10 cm or less. Inside the bag of the chest pocket 8, a hole cover pocket 82 that covers the garment side string holes 81 may be provided.

[0028] FIG. 13 is a schematic front view of a portion where a chest pocket is arranged in an air-conditioned garment according to an example of the present invention. FIG. 14 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the same. Instead of the chest pocket 8, the air-conditioned garment 1 may have a chest pocket 18 arranged in the chest of the front body 41, opening on the front side (the opposite side of the human body), and having a bag part sewn (the opposite side of the human body) as shown in FIG. 13. In this case, as shown in FIG. 14, the front body 41 to which the chest pocket 18 is sewn may have two garment-side string holes 181 through which the string 63 passes. The garment-side string holes 181 are arranged within an area covered by the chest pocket bag of the front body 41 to which the chest pocket is sewn. The distance between the two garment-side string holes is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 0.5 cm or more and 10 cm or less.

[0029] It is preferable to attach a stopper 65 to the string 63 that passes through the string hole 64 and the garment side string hole 81 (or the garment side string hole 181) and is located inside the pouch of the chest pocket 8. When tightening the opening of the body at the joint between the body 4 and the movable sleeve 3, specifically the string hole 62, a part of the string 63 can be removed from the chest pocket 8 and the string 63 can be tightened while wearing the garment. When the air leakage suppression mechanism 6 (string hole 62) is to be shortened, the string 63 that passes through the stopper 65 is pulled, and the stopper 65 is stopped when the required length is reached, thereby maintaining the air leakage suppression mechanism 6 (string hole 62) in a shortened state, for example, in a state where it is in close contact with the human body.

[0030] FIG. 15 is a partial schematic front view of an air-conditioned garment according to an example of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 15, a string stop loop 9 for passing the end of the string can be provided inside the bag of the chest pocket 8. This can prevent the end of the pulled string 63 from jumping out of the chest pocket 8 when the air leakage suppression mechanism 6 (string passage part 62) is contracted. The string stop loop 9 can be provided inside the bag of the chest pocket 8 between the opening of the chest pocket 8 and the bottom of the bag of the chest pocket 8, with a length that does not extend outside the bag of the chest pocket 8 and a width of 10 cm or less. Although not shown, in the case of a chest pocket 18 that opens on the front side (the opposite side of the human body) and has a bag part sewn (the opposite side of the human body), the string stop loop can be provided inside the bag of the chest pocket between the opening of the chest pocket and the bottom of the bag of the chest pocket, with a length that does not extend outside the bag of the chest pocket and a width of 10 cm or less.

[0031] The air-conditioned garment 1 preferably further has a movable sleeve storage pocket 10 arranged on the back side of the chest of the front body 41. By storing the removed movable sleeve 3 in the movable sleeve storage pocket 10, the space between the human body and the garment becomes larger, and the air taken in by a wind generating device such as a fan passes through and easily flows to the chest and neck. The movable sleeve storage pocket 10 can be provided in a position that contacts the chest when the movable sleeve 3 is stored. In addition, the movable sleeve storage pocket 10 preferably has a thickness of 0.5 cm or more when the movable sleeve 3 is stored. Here, the thickness is measured by spreading the garment on a horizontal table, storing the movable sleeve in the movable sleeve storage pocket, and measuring the height of the maximum convex point of the movable sleeve storage pocket under no load.

[0032] It is desirable that the left and right movable sleeve storage pockets 10 are separated from each other. It is preferable that the left and right movable sleeve storage pockets 10 are not in contact with each other, but are in contact with the left and right pectoral muscles, respectively. The movable sleeve storage pocket 10 is disposed closer to the human body than the chest pocket 8, and may be partially overlapped with the chest pocket 8. The movable sleeve storage pocket 10 is not particularly limited, but may have a width of 1 cm to 20 cm and a gusset of 0.5 cm to 10 cm, for example, and the length can be determined arbitrarily according to the width and gusset size.

[0033] In the air-conditioned garment, the length of the sleeves is not particularly limited, and examples include short sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, long sleeves, etc. The movable sleeve may be the entire sleeve or a part of the sleeve. In addition, the sleeve may be joined to the body at the shoulder, or the sleeve may not be joined to the body at the shoulder and have a joint in the part covering the arm.

[0034] In the air-conditioned garment 1, the front body 41 is separated into left and right parts, and the left and right front body parts may be connected openably and closably by a connecting member 11. From the viewpoint of increasing the air pressure inside the garment, it is preferable to use, for example, a zipper or a hook-and-loop fastener as the connecting member 11. The air-conditioned garment 1 further has a collar 12 and a hem 13. From the viewpoint of preventing air leakage, the hem 13 may be made of a stretchable material such as an elastic band.

[0035] The air-conditioned garment 1 may have an abdominal pocket 14 that is placed on the abdominal area of ​​the front body 41, opens on the front side (opposite the human body), and has a bag portion sewn to the back side (facing the human body). The opening of the abdominal pocket 14 may be connected so as to be openable and closable by a connecting member 15. As the connecting member 15, for example, a zipper or a hook-and-loop fastener may be used.

[0036] The air-conditioned garment 1 includes a pair of air intakes 22 symmetrically arranged on the sides of the lower part of the back body, and a wind generator 23 detachably connected to each of the air intakes 22 to take in air from the outside into the garment. The garment also includes a power supply unit 24 that supplies power to the wind generator 23, and a power supply cable 26 for connecting the wind generator 23 and the power supply unit 24. The air-conditioned garment 1 of this embodiment has a pair of air intakes 22 from the viewpoint of improving the aesthetic appearance and the air flow inside the garment, but the number of air intakes may be one or three or more. A resin fixing ring is provided on the periphery of the air intake 22, and a wind generator 23 such as a fan is fixed to the air intake 22 via the fixing ring. The fixing ring may be made of a resin such as silicon resin (silicone), polypropylene, polyester, or polyethylene.

[0037] The air intake may be located in the lower part of the front body, but from the viewpoint of making it easier to cool the upper back, it is preferable to locate it in the lower part of the back body.

[0038] The wind generator 23 takes in air from the outside into the garment and forcibly generates a flow of air in the space between the body (or underwear) and the garment. There is no particular limitation on the wind generator 23, and for example, a fan can be used. There is no particular limitation on the fan, and for example, the same fan as that used in conventional air-conditioned garments can be used.

[0039] The power supply device 24 is not particularly limited, but may be any power source that is portable. For example, a rechargeable battery or a dry cell may be used, and it is preferable to use a rechargeable battery from the viewpoint of repeated use. As the rechargeable battery, for example, a lithium ion secondary battery may be used. When wearing the air-conditioned garment 1, the power supply device 24 may be stored in a rear body storage pocket 27 provided in the lower center part of the back side of the rear body. The power supply device 24 may be stored in an abdominal storage pocket 28 provided on the back side of the abdominal part of the front body, as necessary.

[0040] 16 is a partial schematic front view of an air-conditioned garment (long sleeves) according to another example of the present invention, turned inside out. In the air-conditioned garment 101 of this embodiment, the sleeves 102 are joined to the body 4 at the shoulders, and a part of the sleeves 102 forms a removable movable sleeve section 103. The sleeves 102 consist of fixed sleeve sections 116 fixed to the body 4 and the movable sleeve sections 103, and the movable sleeve sections 103 are detachably joined to the fixed sleeve sections 116 via a detachment mechanism 5. The air leakage suppression mechanism 106 can be provided in an opening on the side of the fixed sleeve section 116 that joins with the movable sleeve section 103.

[0041] The detachable mechanism 5 is composed of a first connecting part 51 provided on the fixed sleeve part 116 and a second connecting part 52 provided on the movable sleeve part 103. The first connecting part 51 can be attached to the fixed sleeve part 116 by, for example, sewing. The second connecting part 52 can be attached to the movable sleeve part 103 by, for example, sewing.

[0042] Each of the air leakage suppression mechanisms 106 is composed of a main body 61 attached to the back side of the fixed sleeve 116, a string-passing portion 62 provided at the non-fixed end of the main body 61, and a string 63 inserted into the string-passing portion 62. The main body 61 is attached to the back side of the fixed sleeve 116 by sewing so that the string-passing portion 62 is located farther from the open end of the fixed sleeve 116 and inside the garment than the attachment / detachment mechanism 5 (specifically, the first connecting portion 51). The air leakage suppression mechanism 106, specifically the main body 16, is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to attach it to the back side of the fixed sleeve 116 by sewing at a position 0.1 cm to 30.0 cm away from the attachment / detachment mechanism 5 (specifically, the first connecting portion 51) and close to the center of the body.

[0043] In the air leakage suppression mechanism 106, when the string 63 is tightened, the opening diameter of the string-passing portion 62 becomes smaller, and the opening diameter of the opening of the fixed sleeve portion 116 can be reduced to the point where it fits closely to the wearer's body. By loosening the string 63, the opening diameter of the string-passing portion 62 can be expanded to the same size as the circumferential direction of the fixed sleeve portion 116 at the attachment position of the main body portion 61.

[0044] In the air-conditioned garment 101, except that the sleeves consist of fixed sleeve portions and movable sleeve portions, the first connecting portion of the detachment mechanism is provided in the fixed sleeve portions, and the air leakage prevention mechanism is provided in the fixed sleeve portions, the configuration can be the same as that of the air-conditioned garment 1 described above, and duplicate explanations will be omitted.

[0045] 17 is a partial schematic front view of an air-conditioned garment (long sleeves) according to another example of the present invention, turned inside out. In the air-conditioned garment 201 of this embodiment, the sleeves are not joined to the body at the shoulders, i.e., the body 4 and the sleeves 202 are integrated (i.e., sewn together), and a part of the sleeve 202 serves as a removable movable sleeve section 203. The sleeve 202 consists of a fixed sleeve section 216 integrated with the body 4 and a movable sleeve section 203, and the movable sleeve section 203 is detachably joined to the fixed sleeve section 216 via a detachment mechanism 5. The air leakage suppression mechanism 206 can be provided in an opening on the side of the fixed sleeve section 216 that joins with the movable sleeve section 203.

[0046] The detachment mechanism 5 is composed of a first connecting part 51 provided on the fixed sleeve part 216 and a second connecting part 52 provided on the movable sleeve part 203. The first connecting part 51 can be attached to the fixed sleeve part 216 by, for example, sewing. The second connecting part 52 can be attached to the movable sleeve part 203 by, for example, sewing.

[0047] Each of the air leakage suppression mechanisms 206 is composed of a main body 61 attached to the back side of the fixed sleeve 216, a string-passing portion 62 provided at the non-fixed end of the main body 61, and a string 63 inserted into the string-passing portion 62. The main body 61 is attached to the back side of the fixed sleeve 216 by sewing so that the string-passing portion 62 is located farther from the open end of the fixed sleeve 216 and inside the garment than the attachment / detachment mechanism 5 (specifically, the first connecting portion 51). The air leakage suppression mechanism 206, specifically the main body 61, is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to attach it to the back side of the fixed sleeve 216 by sewing at a position 0.1 cm to 30.0 cm away from the attachment / detachment mechanism 5 (specifically, the first connecting portion 51) and close to the center of the body.

[0048] In the air leakage suppression mechanism 206, when the string 63 is tightened, the opening diameter of the string-passing part 62 becomes smaller, and the opening diameter of the opening of the fixed sleeve part 216 can be reduced to the point where it fits closely to the wearer's body. By loosening the string 63, the opening diameter of the string-passing part 62 can be expanded to the same size as the circumferential direction of the fixed sleeve part 216 at the attachment position of the main body part 61.

[0049] In the air-conditioned garment 201, the sleeves (specifically, fixed sleeve portions) are integrated with the body, the sleeves consist of fixed sleeve portions and movable sleeve portions, the first connecting portion of the detachment mechanism is provided in the fixed sleeve portions, and the air leakage prevention mechanism is provided in the fixed sleeve portions, except that the air-conditioned garment 201 can be configured in the same way as the air-conditioned garment 1 described above, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0050] The fabric used for the air-conditioning garment is not particularly limited, and woven fabrics and knitted fabrics can be used. From the viewpoint of suppressing ventilation in the cross-sectional direction of the fabric, woven fabrics are preferable. The above-mentioned fabric is not particularly limited, and may be a single weave structure or a double weave structure. For example, plain weave, twill weave, satin weave, variation plain weave, variation twill weave, variation satin weave, variegated weave, patterned weave, single overlap weave, double weave, multiple weave, warp pile weave, weft pile weave, and leno weave can be mentioned. The fiber constituting the fabric is not particularly limited, and for example, polyester fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate, polyurethane fibers, polyamide fibers, acetate fibers, cotton fibers, rayon fibers, ethylene vinyl alcohol fibers, and nylon fibers can be used. The fabric is not particularly limited, and for example, a basis weight of 20 to 300 g / m 2 The range is preferably 50 to 250 g / m 2 If the basis weight is in the above range, there are advantages in that the durability is good, and the fabric is light and easy to move around in. EXAMPLES

[0051] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0052] Example 1 The front and back of the body, collar and sleeves are made of fabric (plain weave, 77% polyester fiber, 23% cotton, 156g / m 2), the air intake was a circle with a diameter of 10 cm, the fixing ring of the air intake was made of silicone resin, a fan with a diameter of 10 cm (manufactured by San-Etsu Co., Ltd., product name "Fan Set Thin Type RD9710A", blade diameter 80 mm, number of blades 5, supply power 7 V, 2 A) was used as the wind generating means, a lithium-ion battery (manufactured by San-Etsu Co., Ltd., product name "Lithium-ion Battery RD9870AJ") was used as the power supply device, a cable (manufactured by San-Etsu Co., Ltd., product name "Fan Set Thin Type RD9710A") was used as the power supply cable, zippers (YKK Corporation 3CFOM91X6-7386014J (right sleeve), 3CFOLM91X6-7785972J (left sleeve)) were used for the attachment / detachment mechanism (first connection part and second connection part), and a woven fabric (plain weave, 77% polyester fiber, 23% cotton by mass, basis weight 156 g / m) was used for the main body of the air leakage suppression mechanism. 2 ) was used for the material and elastic cords (YE25H manufactured by YKK Corporation) for the strings, and a blouson-type (long-sleeved) air-conditioned garment 1 (JASPO standard L size) was produced as shown in Figures 1 to 9. All of the sleeves were movable. The main body of the attachment / detachment mechanism and the air leakage suppression mechanism was attached to the garment body by sewing.

[0053] Example 2 On the inside of the front body, woven fabric (plain weave, 77% polyester fiber, 23% cotton, 156g / m 2 A blouson-type (long-sleeved) air-conditioned garment 1 (JASPO standard L size) in which the entire sleeve is movable was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a movable sleeve storage pocket (length 23 cm, width 7.5 cm, gusset 4.0 cm) composed of a sleeve opening and a sleeve opening 23 cm in length, width 7.5 cm, gusset 4.0 cm was provided. As shown in FIG. 18, the movable sleeve was folded four times so that the cuff and the second connecting part of the attachment / detachment mechanism overlap, and the thickness of the folded movable sleeve when stored in the movable sleeve storage pocket was 3.8 cm. Here, the thickness was measured by spreading the garment on a horizontal table, storing the movable sleeve in the movable sleeve storage pocket, and measuring the height of the maximum convex point of the movable sleeve storage pocket under no load.

[0054] Comparative Example 1 A blouson-type (long-sleeved) air-conditioned garment 1 (JASPO standard L size) with all of the sleeves movable was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that no air leakage suppression mechanism was provided.

[0055] The air-conditioned garments of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 1 were worn by an anthropomorphic mannequin (manufactured by Nanasaisha, product name "Dummy with Average Japanese Body Sizes") fitted with an anemometer ("ANEMOMASTER MODEL 6004" manufactured by Nippon Kanomax Co., Ltd.), the fan was turned on, and the air speed was measured with the anemometer. The anemometer was positioned so that the sensors were located 13 cm from the top of the manubrium (chest) and at the chin. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0056] [Table 1]

[0057] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, in Examples 1 and 2, the air leakage prevention mechanism is provided, and when the movable sleeves are removed, by tightening the air leakage prevention mechanism, air can be delivered to the chest and neck at approximately the same level as when the movable sleeves are attached, providing good cooling performance for the body. Also, in the case of Example 2, in which the movable sleeves are stored in the storage pocket, air can be delivered to the chest and neck more effectively than in Example 1, which does not have a movable sleeve storage pocket. On the other hand, in the case of Comparison Example 1, which does not have an air leakage prevention mechanism, when the movable sleeve is removed, air cannot be effectively transported to the chest and neck, making it difficult to achieve cooling performance for the body.
