Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a transport aid that can reduce the burden imposed when lifting and transporting a workpiece. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there have been known transport aids that can reduce the strain on the hands and fingers of a transport worker (user) when transporting an item (work), such as the shoulder hanging support device disclosed in Patent Document 1, which has a belt portion that hangs down from the shoulder and a hook plate piece (hook portion) that is held by the belt portion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2023-123002 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The above-mentioned carrying aid reduces the burden on the user's arms by supporting the load of the work on the hook part with the user's shoulders, but since the hook part is not fixed close to the user's body, it lacks stability during carrying. Also, when the user wants to carry the work by lowering the lifted work to a designated position and then performing another manual task, there is the inconvenience of having to pull the hook part to the appropriate position, which significantly deteriorates workability.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a carrying aid that is stable, reduces the burden on the user's arms, and provides good operability. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention is a transportation aid comprising a shoulder strap portion that is placed over the user's shoulder, a long hanging belt portion having one end connected to an end of the shoulder strap portion, and a wrist belt portion connected to the other end of the hanging belt portion, the wrist belt portion being provided with a hook attachment portion and having a hook member attached to the hook attachment portion, and when worn by a user, the shoulder strap portion is placed over the user's shoulder and the wrist belt portion is wrapped around the user's wrist, and further, the hook member is placed on the user's palm and abuts against the lower end of a workpiece to be transported, supporting the workpiece with the palm of the user's hand while the workpiece is transported, and the weight of the workpiece is applied to the user's shoulder via the hanging belt portion.

[0007] In this configuration, the hook member is fixed in place on the palm side of the user's hand by the wrist belt, so that when lifting a workpiece, the hook can be inserted into the bottom end of the workpiece while supporting it with the palm of the hand, making it easy to grasp the workpiece being transported. In addition, the load of the lifted workpiece is transmitted from the hanging belt to the shoulder strap and directly applied to both shoulders of the user, reducing the strain on the user's arms.

[0008] It is also proposed that the hook member be detachable from the hook attachment portion.

[0009] With this configuration, the hook members can be replaced depending on the type of workpiece, and the workpiece can be transported using an appropriate hook member. Effect of the Invention

[0010] The carrying aid of the present invention has the effect of stably reducing the burden on the user's arms and dramatically improving the workability during carrying. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] The present invention will be described with reference to the following examples. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following examples, and appropriate design changes are possible.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 1, the carrying aid 1 has a long shoulder strap 10 that is draped over both shoulders of a user H. One end of a length-adjustable hanging belt 20 is connected to each end of the shoulder strap 10. A ring-shaped wrist belt 30 that is wound around the wrist of the user H is connected to the other end of the hanging belt 20.

[0014] Furthermore, the wrist belt portion 30 is provided with a hook attachment portion 40, to which a hook member 50 is attached.

[0015] Next, each part will be described in detail.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the shoulder strap 10 is a strap bent into an L-shape in plan view, and has shoulder strap side strap connecting parts 11, 11 at both ends to which one end of the hanging belt part 20 is connected.

[0017] The hanging belt part 20 is composed of a cloth belt as shown in Fig. 3. One end of the hanging belt part 20 is folded back and joined via the shoulder strap connection part 11 of the shoulder strap part 10. Here, sewing technology or adhesive technology can be used for joining the hanging belt part 20. Also, a length adjuster 21 for adjusting the length is attached to the hanging belt part 20, and the length of the hanging belt part 20 can be adjusted by the length adjuster.

[0018] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the wrist belt portion 30 is made of a cloth and is configured as a long belt that is wound around the wrist of the user H, and can be held in a ring shape using a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown). The ring-shaped belt portion constitutes the winding portion 31. The winding portion 31 is also provided with a wrist belt portion side belt connection portion 32 to which the other end of the hanging belt portion 20 is connected. Furthermore, one end (upper end) of the wrist belt portion side belt connection portion 32 is connected to the other end of the hanging belt portion 20 via a rectangular annular connecting ring portion 33, while the other end (lower end) of the wrist belt portion side belt connection portion 32 is connected to a hook attachment portion 40. Here, the wrist belt portion side belt connection portion 32 is made of a cloth strip-shaped belt, and one end of the belt portion 32 is folded back and joined via the connecting ring portion 33 as shown in Fig. 6. The other end of wrist belt side connection part 32 is folded back and joined via attachment part 41 of hook attachment part 40, which will be described later. Such wrist belt side connection part 32 is joined to winding part 31 at a portion between one end connected to connecting ring part 33 and the other end connected to hook attachment part 40. Note that such joining can be achieved by sewing, adhesive, staples, etc., as described above.

[0019] 7, the hook attachment part 40 includes an attachment part 41 attached to the winding part 31 of the wrist belt part 30, and a hook part 42 for hooking and holding the hook member 50 described later. The hook attachment part 40 is also provided with a gap S for attaching and detaching the hook member 50, and the hook member 50 can be attached and detached from the hook attachment part 40 by passing it through the gap S.

[0020] 8(a), the hook member 50 is an L-shaped metal fitting, and has an insertion hole 51 formed at its upper end, through which the hook hook portion 42 is inserted. A lower plate portion on which the insertion hole 51 is not formed serves as an abutment portion 52 that abuts against the lower end of the workpiece W.

[0021] When the carrying aid 1 is worn by a user H, as shown in FIG. 1, the shoulder strap 10 is hung on the upper part of the user H's shoulder. The wraparound portion 31 of the wrist belt portion 30 is wrapped around both wrists of the user H. Furthermore, the hook member 50 is disposed on the palm side of the user H. By lifting the work W in this state, the hook member 50 comes into contact with the lower end of the work W being carried. The load of the work W is transmitted from the hook member 50 through the wrist belt portion 30 and the hanging belt portion 20 to the shoulder strap 10, and is applied to both shoulders of the user H on which the shoulder strap 10 is hooked. This reduces the burden on the hands and arms of the user H.

[0022] The hook member 50 that contacts the workpiece W is fixed by the wrist belt part 30 so as to be positioned on the palm side of the user H, eliminating the trouble of pulling on the hook member 50 every time work is performed, and the work of transporting the workpiece W becomes significantly easier.

[0023] Furthermore, since the hook member 50 can be detached from the hook attachment portion 40, it is possible to remove the hook member 50 when it is not required.

[0024] The length of the hanging belt portion 20 can be adjusted according to the length of the user H's arm, and can be appropriately adjusted to an appropriate length for transporting the workpiece W.

[0025] An appropriate hook member 50 can be selected depending on the type of workpiece W. For example, as shown in Fig. 8(b), by using a hook member 100 provided with a pointed portion 101, wood or the like can be easily transported.

[0026] Also, as shown in Fig. 8(c), by using a U-shaped hook member 110, it becomes easy to transport a workpiece W with a handle, such as a bucket. The hook member does not need to be a plate, and may be, for example, a hook member 120 formed by bending a metal rod, as shown in Fig. 8(d). Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 8(e), for example, a hook member 130 having a return portion 132 that is bent upward at the tip of an abutting portion 131 may be used, and with such a configuration, it becomes easy to hold not only a box-shaped workpiece W, but also a workpiece W with a handle.

[0027] Furthermore, for example, in each of the hook members described above, the contact portion with which the workpiece W comes into contact can be coated with an anti-slip resin or the like to prevent the workpiece W from falling off unintentionally.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the dimensions and shapes of each part can be freely selected as appropriate. Also, for example, a fixing belt for fixing the shoulder strap 10 to the user may be provided separately. [Explanation of symbols]
