Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] When the fan is operated in conventional work clothes with a fan and a hood, the body of the wearer and almost the entire head (the entire part covered by the hood) are cooled.

[0006] By the way, in conventional work clothes with a fan and a hood, since cooling air also flows to the top of the head, the front head, the side head, and the back head of the wearer, the cooling efficiency of the head is poor. This is because it is possible to more efficiently cool the head by cooling the part through which thick blood vessels pass than by cooling the part of the head through which no thick blood vessels pass with a limited air volume.

[0007] The present invention provides a hood that is installed on clothing where a fan for clothing is installed, and that allows air flowing inside the clothing to flow in, with the aim of efficiently cooling the head of the wearer.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] A hood 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention (for example, a helmet-compatible hood) is installed and used on a garment 5 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and includes a hood body 7 and a flap 9.

[0020] Here, for the sake of convenience of explanation, a predetermined position direction in the hood 1 etc. is defined as the lateral direction, a predetermined one direction orthogonal to the lateral direction is defined as the front-rear direction, and a direction orthogonal to the lateral direction and the front-rear direction is defined as the vertical direction.

[0021] The hood body 7 is installed on a garment 5 (for example, an upper garment) on which a garment fan 3 is installed so that its lower end is connected to the collar portion 11 of the garment 5. The hood body 7 covers the head 14 and neck 17 of the wearer 13 so that the face 15 and the front of the neck 17 of the wearer 13 are exposed.

[0022] When the garment fan 3 operates in a state where the hood body 7 is worn by the wearer 13 together with the garment 5, air flows in the garment 5 (between the garment 5 and the skin of the wearer 13 of the garment 5). Further, when the garment fan 3 operates in a state where the hood body 7 is worn by the wearer 13 together with the garment 5, the air that has flowed in the garment 5 and has come out of the garment 5 flows into the interior of the hood body 7.

[0023] The flap 9 is made of a fabric that blocks the flow of air. The flap 9 is installed inside the hood body 7 to prevent the air flowing inside the garment 5 from flowing to the upper part inside the hood body 7.

[0024] More specifically, the flap 9 is formed in a thin and elongated strip shape with a predetermined width using a fabric that does not allow air to pass through. As shown in FIG. 4, the flap 9 is joined to the hood body 7 inside the hood body 7 such that the width direction is generally in the vertical direction or in a direction oblique to the vertical direction. The upper end, which is one end in this width direction, of the flap 9 is joined to the hood body 7.

[0025] The flap 9 extends horizontally along the inner surface of the hood body 7. Further, the flap 9 is located below the lower side of the hood body 7 (near the lower end; below the ears of the wearer 13 of the hood 1) and is installed on the hood body 7.

[0026] The upper part (upper side part) 19 inside the hood body 7 is a part that is above the lower end of the ears of the wearer 13 including the ears of the wearer 13 when the wearer 13 wears the hood 1 (hood body 7). That is, when the wearer 13 wears the hood 1 (hood body 7), the ears of the wearer 13 are positioned inside the upper side part 19. The lower part (lower side part) 21 inside the hood body 7 is a part that is below the ears of the wearer 13 when the wearer 13 wears the hood 1 (hood body 7). By being partitioned by the flap 9, the upper side part 19 and the lower side part 21 inside the hood body 7 are formed.

[0027] More specifically, when looking at the state where the wearer 13 wears the hood 1 (hood body 7) in the front-rear direction, the flap 9 is deployed in a substantially horizontal direction. That is, it extends horizontally such that the width direction is in the vertical direction. And the flap 9 winds around the upper end part of the neck 17 to partition the inside of the hood body 7 into the upper side part 19 and the lower side part 21.

[0028] When looking at the state where the wearer 13 is wearing the hood 1 (hood main body 7) in the vertical direction, the flap 9 is in a "U" shape or a "C" shape with a predetermined width. That is, the lines of the "U" shape or "C" shape have a width. One end (upper end) in the width direction of the flap 9 is joined to the hood main body 7, and the other end (lower end) in the width direction of the flap 9 is in contact with the neck 17 of the wearer 13.

[0029] When looking at the state where the wearer 13 is wearing the hood 1 in the vertical direction, one end (right end) in the longitudinal direction of the flap 9 is located near one end (right end) in the lateral direction of the opening 29 of the hood main body 7 or at the position of one end in the lateral direction of the opening 29 of the hood main body 7.

[0030] Also, when looking at the state where the wearer 13 is wearing the hood 1 in the vertical direction, the other end (left end) in the longitudinal direction of the flap 9 is located near the other end (left end) in the lateral direction of the opening 29 of the hood main body 7 or at the position of the other end in the lateral direction of the opening 29 of the hood main body 7.

[0031] When the wearer 13 wearing the protective cap (half-cap type helmet) 23 further wears the hood 1 (hood main body 7) from above the protective cap 23, as already understood, the protective cap 23 is present in the upper part 19 inside the hood main body 7. Therefore, the air flowing in the clothing 5 is blocked by the flap 9 and does not flow into the protective cap 23 (the space between the protective cap 23 and the head 14 of the wearer 13 wearing the protective cap 23). Note that the protective cap 23 more specifically refers to the cap body of the protective cap.

[0032] The hood 1, the clothing 5, and the protective cap 23 are, for example, in a shape symmetric with respect to the central plane. The central plane is a plane that includes the center of the hood 1 (clothing 5, protective cap 23) and is orthogonal to the lateral direction.

[0033] In addition, the wearer 13 may directly wear the hood 1 (hood body 7) without wearing the protective cap 23. Further, if the air flowing inside the clothing 5 is blocked by the flap 9 so as not to flow into the protective cap 23, the position of the flap 9 in the vertical direction may be slightly below the lower end of the protective cap 23. For example, a part of the flap 9 may be in contact with the lower end part of the protective cap 23.

[0034] In addition, the hood body 7 is configured to cover the head 14, neck 17, and protective cap 23 of the wearer 13 in a state where the rider (wearer) 13 of a motorcycle (motorcycle, bicycle, etc.) is wearing the protective cap 23. At this time, the face 15 of the wearer 13 and the front surface of the neck 17 are exposed. Here, a motorcycle or the like is a vehicle in which the rider rides with at least the head exposed to the atmosphere.

[0035] As described above, the flap 9 is located below the protective cap 23 in a state where the rider 13 of a motorcycle or the like is wearing the protective cap 23, and partitions the inside of the hood body 7 into a lower part 21 and an upper part 19 in which the protective cap 23 is located.

[0036] In addition, the hood 1 is provided with an exhaust part 25 and a shape maintaining member 27. The exhaust part 25 is provided below the rear side of the hood 1, and discharges the air below the flap 9 (the air inside the lower part 21) to the outside from the rear part of the hood body 7. When viewed in the thickness direction of the fabric constituting the hood body 7, as shown in FIG. 6, a part of the flap 9 and all of the exhaust part 25 overlap each other.

[0037] The shape maintaining member 27 is provided on the hood body 7 at a part of the edge portion (the edge portion of the hood body 7) extending along the opening 29. The said part is located at both sides in the lateral direction of the opening 29. The shape maintaining member 27 is provided to maintain the shape of the parts on both lateral sides (a part of the edge portion of the hood body 7) over a predetermined length in the vertical direction.

[0038] More specifically, the outer periphery of the opening 29 of the hood body 7 is formed in a "U" shape with the top and bottom reversed. The edge portion (the edge portion of the hood body 7) extending along the opening 29 is also naturally formed in a "U" shape with the top and bottom reversed. The shape retaining member 27 is formed in an elongated shape and extends vertically and longitudinally at each of the left and right vertical lines of the "U" shape and is installed on the hood body 7.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 9(a), for example, the shape retaining member 27 is formed in an elongated rectangular plate shape and is adapted to plastically deform when a force of a predetermined magnitude is applied. Even if the force of the predetermined magnitude is removed after the above-mentioned plastic deformation, the shape at the time of the above-mentioned plastic deformation is generally maintained. Note that FIG. 9(a) shows a state in which the shape retaining member 27 is not deformed.

[0040] Here, the shape retaining member 27 will be further described. The longitudinal direction of the shape retaining member 27 is defined as the X-axis direction, the width direction of the shape retaining member 27 is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the shape retaining member 27 is defined as the Z-axis direction. Also, the rotation axis (pivot axis) around the X-axis is defined as the A-axis, the rotation axis (pivot axis) around the Y-axis is defined as the B-axis, and the rotation axis (pivot axis) around the Z-axis is defined as the C-axis.

[0041] FIG. 9(b) is a view taken in the direction of arrow IXB in FIG. 9(a) and shows a state in which the shape retaining member 27 is not deformed. FIG. 9(c) is a view showing a state in which the shape retaining member 27 has undergone plastic deformation from the state shown in FIG. 9(b). In the state shown in FIG. 9(c), the shape retaining member 27 has undergone plastic deformation around the B-axis. FIG. 9(d) is a view showing a state in which the shape retaining member 27 has undergone plastic deformation from the state shown in FIG. 9(a). In the state shown in FIG. 9(d), the shape retaining member 27 has undergone plastic deformation around the A-axis. The shape retaining member 27 is adapted to plastically deform in the manner shown in FIGS. 9(c) and 9(d).

[0042] As a material used for the shape - maintaining member 27, for example, a synthetic resin material used as a core material in the nose - fitting part of a non - woven mask can be cited. This material is a material in which the phenomenon of work hardening hardly occurs even when the shape change due to plastic deformation is repeated.

[0043] Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the hood body 7 is provided with an elongated cylindrical part 31 along the edge of the opening 29, and an elongated string - like member 33 passes through the elongated cylindrical part 31. Both longitudinal ends of the string - like member 33 extend from both longitudinal ends of the elongated cylindrical part 31. By pulling the string - like member 33 at both longitudinal ends thereof to increase the extension length of the string - like member 33 from both ends of the elongated cylindrical part 31, the area of the opening 29 of the hood body 7 is configured to become smaller. That is, by pulling the string - like member 33 at both ends, the opening 29 of the hood body 7 can be constricted.

[0044] In the hood 1, if the pulling force (tensile force) of the string - like member 33 is below a predetermined value, the shape of the shape - maintaining member 27 is configured to be maintained.

[0045] Here, the hood 1 and the clothing 5 will be described in more detail.

[0046] The hood body 7 of the hood 1 and the clothing 5 are made of waterproof fabric and have a rain - proof function (waterproof function). Further, the hood body 7 and the clothing 5 are coated with polyurethane so that ultraviolet rays do not penetrate (equipped with a UV - cut function). Also, the hood body 7 and the clothing 5 hardly allow wind to pass through.

[0047] The clothing 5 is, for example, an upper garment, and a clothing fan 3 is installed in the clothing 5. When the clothing fan 3 operates, air enters the clothing 5 from the outside of the clothing 5, and the air that has entered the clothing 5 mainly exits the clothing 5 from the collar part 11 (the gap 35 between the collar part 11 and the wearer's neck 17).

[0048] Note that as the clothing 5, a connecting type may be adopted, or a long-sleeved type, a short-sleeved type, or a sleeveless vest type may be adopted. In any case, the air supplied into the clothing 5 by the operation of the clothing fan 3 comes out of the clothing 5 from the gap between the collar part 11 and the neck 17 of the wearer 13. The air supplied into the clothing 5 by the operation of the clothing fan 3 hardly comes out of the clothing 5 from other locations.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 5, a fastener (for example, a plurality of snap buttons) 37 is provided on the collar part 11 of the clothing 5.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 6, the hood body 7 has an open lower end and front surface. A fastener (for example, a plurality of snap buttons) 39 is also provided at the lower end of the hood body 7. By fitting the snap button 39 of the hood body 7 into the snap button 37 of the clothing 5, the hood body 7 is installed on the clothing 5, and the hood body 7 protrudes from the clothing 5 above the clothing 5.

[0051] Note that the combination of the plurality of snap buttons 37 of the clothing 5 and the plurality of snap buttons 39 of the hood body 7 is appropriately changed, and the snap button 39 is fitted into the snap button 37. Thereby, the installation mode of the hood body 7 with respect to the clothing 5 (the installation position of the hood body 7 with respect to the clothing 5) can be slightly changed. By changing this installation mode, for example, the protruding amount of the hood body 7 from the clothing 5 can be slightly changed, and the protruding amount can be made appropriate according to the size of the protective cap 23 and the like.

[0052] The exhaust part 25 is made of, for example, a rectangular fine-mesh fabric (mesh fabric). When looking at the hood 1 from the rear side towards the front side, as shown in FIG. 2, in the horizontal direction, the exhaust part 25 is arranged at the center, and in the vertical direction, it is arranged at the lower side (arranged around the boundary between the back head and the back neck of the wearer 13). The value of the horizontal dimension of the exhaust part 25 is larger than the value of the vertical dimension of the exhaust part 25.

[0053] Also, when looking at the hood 1 from the rear side towards the front side, as described above, a part of the flap 9 overlaps the entire exhaust part 25 (see FIG. 6). That is, the exhaust part 25 is located inside the flap 9.

[0054] Note that instead of making the exhaust part 25 of mesh fabric, it may be constituted by overlapping a plurality of fabrics that do not allow water or light to pass through. In this case, the plurality of fabrics are overlapped in a manner that allows air to pass through. Also, the exhaust part 25 may be covered with a fabric that does not allow water or light to pass through. In this case as well, the fabric covering the exhaust part 25 is installed on the hood body 7 in a manner that allows air to pass through. For example, since a part such as the lower end of the fabric is not joined to the hood body 7, air can flow through the unjoined part.

[0055] Also, the hood body 7 is provided with a size adjustment part 41 (see FIG. 2) for adjusting the size of the hood body 7 so as to match the size of the protective cap 23 worn by the wearer 13. By adjusting the size of the hood body 7 with the size adjustment part 41, when the protective cap 23 worn by the wearer 13 is covered with the hood body 7, the hood body 7 fits well over the protective cap 23.

[0056] As shown in Fig. 2, the size adjustment part 41 is configured to include a protruding part 45 protruding from the hood body 7 and a hook-and-loop fastener 47 provided on the outer surface of the hood body 7. The protruding part 45 is composed of a rectangular plate-shaped fabric, and a hook-and-loop fastener 43 is provided on the protruding part 45. By appropriately changing the position of the hook-and-loop fastener 43 relative to the hook-and-loop fastener 47 and fixing the hook-and-loop fastener 43 to the hook-and-loop fastener 47, the size of the hood body 7 can be adjusted.

[0057] Furthermore, from the state shown in Fig. 2, the protruding part 45 can be moved downward relative to the hook-and-loop fastener 47 and fixed to the hook-and-loop fastener 47. Also, from the state shown in Fig. 2, the protruding part 45 can be moved upward relative to the hook-and-loop fastener 47 and fixed to the hook-and-loop fastener 47. Thereby, the size of the hood body 7 can be adjusted mainly in the vertical direction.

[0058] As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the cylindrical part 31 is formed along substantially the entire length of the "U"-shaped opening 29 of the hood body 7. The cylindrical part 31 is composed of a first part 49 that extends longitudinally in the vertical direction on one side in the lateral direction, a second part 51 that extends longitudinally in the vertical direction on the other side in the lateral direction, and a third part 53 that extends in the lateral direction at the upper end of the opening 29. In addition, through holes 55, 57, 59, and 61 are provided in the cylindrical part 31 (hood body 7).

[0059] The string-like member 33 is installed on the hood body 7 by passing through the first part 49, the second part 51, the third part 53, and the through holes 55, 57, 59, and 61. Note that the end (not shown) of the string-like member 33 that slightly extends downward from the through hole 61 shown in Fig. 7 and enters the inside of the hood body 7 is fixed to the hood body 7.

[0060] Also, between the through holes 55 and 57 shown in FIG. 6 and between the through holes 59 and 61 shown in FIG. 7, the string-like member 33 is exposed by a slight length. At the portion of the string-like member 33 that is exposed between the through hole 59 and the through hole 61, a length adjusting body 63 is installed to adjust the length of the portion of the string-like member 33 that is exposed between the through hole 59 and the through hole 61.

[0061] Then, from the state shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, by increasing the length of the portion of the string-like member 33 that is exposed between the through hole 59 and the through hole 61, the area of the opening 29 of the hood body 7 (hood 1) is reduced.

[0062] The shape maintaining material 27 is installed inside the first portion 49 and the second portion 51 of the cylindrical portion 31. The value of the longitudinal dimension (vertical dimension) of the shape maintaining material 27 is slightly smaller than the value of the longitudinal dimension (vertical dimension) of the first portion 49 and the second portion 51.

[0063] The shape maintaining material 27 is installed on the hood body 7, for example, by sewing. The sewing portion extends in the vertical direction over substantially the entire length of the shape maintaining material 27. The thickness direction of the shape maintaining material 27 coincides with the thickness direction of the fabric of the hood body 7.

[0064] Here, the operation of the hood 1 and the like will be described.

[0065] First, the wearer 13 wearing the protective cap 23 puts on the garment 5 on which the hood 1 is installed and covers the hood 1 with the protective cap 23.

[0066] Subsequently, the shape of the shape maintaining material 27 is appropriately changed as needed, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, so that both sides of the face are largely opened in the horizontal direction.

[0067] Subsequently, the string-like member 33 is adjusted to bring the upper part of the opening 29 of the hood 1 into close contact with the protective cap 23.

[0068] In this state, as shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the front end portion of the protective cap 23 slightly protrudes from the hood 1, and the tip of the flap 9 extends along the outer periphery of the neck 17 of the wearer 13 and is in contact with the neck 17 of the wearer 13.

[0069] In this state, when the clothing fan 3 is operated, air comes out from the collar portion 11 of the clothing 5, and the air that has come out enters the hood body 7. The air that has entered the hood body 7 (see arrow A4a in FIG. 4) flows through the lower portion 21, a part of it is discharged from the exhaust portion 25 (see arrow A4b in FIG. 4), and the rest proceeds toward the front side (see arrow A4c in FIG. 4) and is discharged from the opening 29.

[0070] Also, when the wearer 13 wearing the protective cap 23 and the clothing 5 and the hood 1 rides on a motorcycle or the like and travels, traveling wind (see arrows A3a and A3b in FIG. 3) enters the hood body 7 from the opening 29. The traveling wind enters the lower portion 21 (see arrow A3a in FIG. 3 and arrow A3a in FIG. 4) and also enters the upper portion 19 (see arrow A3b in FIG. 3). The traveling wind that has entered the lower portion 21 is discharged from the exhaust portion 25 to the rear of the hood 1.

[0071] The hood 1 includes a hood body 7 and a flap 9 installed in the hood body 7 to prevent the air flowing in the clothing 5 from flowing to the upper part (upper portion) 19 in the hood body 7. The hood body 7 is installed on the clothing 5 on which the clothing fan 3 is installed and is adapted to allow the air flowing in the clothing 5 to flow inside.

[0072] With such a configuration, it is possible to allow the air flowing in the clothing 5 to flow only in the lower portion 21 in the hood body 7, and it is possible to efficiently cool the head 14 of the wearer 13.

[0073] More specifically, when the clothing 5 with the hood 1 is worn, the neck 17 of the wearer 13 is received in the lower part 21 inside the hood body 7. In the neck 17 of the wearer 13, the internal carotid artery, external carotid artery, vertebral artery, and common carotid artery, as well as the veins corresponding to these arteries, pass through. The blood flowing through the above-mentioned arteries and veins can be efficiently cooled by the air flowing vigorously through the lower part 21 inside the hood body 7, and the head 14 of the wearer 13 can be efficiently cooled.

[0074] Also, in the hood 1, the flap 9 is formed in a thin and elongated strip shape with a predetermined width, and inside the hood body 7, the upper end, which is one end in the width direction, is joined to the hood body 7. Further, the flap 9 extends long in the lateral direction along the hood body 7 and is located below the hood body 7 and is installed on the hood body 7.

[0075] Thereby, the flap 9 separates the lower part 21 and the upper part 19 inside the hood body 7 precisely, improving the cooling function around the neck 17 of the wearer 13 and enabling efficient cooling of the head 14 of the wearer 13.

[0076] Also, in the hood 1, with the rider 13 of a motorcycle or the like wearing the protective helmet 23, the face 15 of the wearer 13 is exposed, and the hood body 7 covers the head 14 of the wearer 13 and the protective helmet 23. Further, in the hood 1, with the rider 13 of a motorcycle or the like wearing the protective helmet 23, the flap 9 is located below the protective helmet 23 and partitions the inside of the hood body 7 into the lower part 21 and the upper part 19 where the protective helmet 23 is located. Thereby, the head 14 of the rider 13 of a motorcycle or the like wearing the protective helmet 23 can be efficiently cooled. Note that the hood 1 can be used without wearing the protective helmet 23.

[0077] In addition, in the hood 1, an exhaust portion 25 for discharging the air in the lower portion 21 below the flap 9 to the outside of the hood main body 7 is provided at the rear portion of the hood main body 7. Thereby, the exhaust from the rear portion of the lower portion 21 of the hood main body 7 can be promoted, and the cooling function on the rear side of the neck (cervical region) 17 is improved.

[0078] In addition, since the exhaust portion 25 is provided, the air that has come out of the collar portion 11 of the clothing 5 into the hood main body 7 is divided into the air that goes toward the front side of the hood main body 7 and exits outside from the opening 29 of the hood main body 7, and the air that goes toward the rear side of the hood main body 7 and exits outside from the exhaust portion 25. Thereby, it is possible to cool also the portion of the neck (cervical region 17) through which the artery passes with the air going toward the front side.

[0079] In addition, in the hood 1, when viewed in the thickness direction of the fabric constituting the hood main body 7, the flap 9 and the exhaust portion 25 overlap each other. Thereby, it is possible to prevent sunlight and rainwater from entering the hood main body 7 from the exhaust portion 25 and reaching the wearer 13 as much as possible.

[0080] In addition, in the hood 1, a shape maintaining material 27 is provided on the hood main body 7. Thereby, the portions on both lateral sides of the edge of the opening 29 of the hood main body 7 can also maintain their shapes. And, with the hood 1 covering the protective cap 23, the shape of the portion of the hood main body 7 in front of the ear of the wearer 13 can be made into a largely opened shape. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the sound from being difficult to hear due to wearing the hood 1.

[0081] In addition, when the hood 1 is made into clothing with a hood for motorcycle riding (clothing with a hood for riding a motorcycle or the like), by largely opening the shape of the portion of the hood main body 7 in front of the ear of the wearer 13, the air in front (running wind) can be taken into the hood main body 7. And, the taken-in air can be discharged rearward from the exhaust portion 25, and during the running of a motorcycle or the like, the cooling efficiency of the head 14 can be further enhanced.

[0082] Also, in the hood 1, although the area of the opening 29 of the hood body 7 is configured to be reduced by the string-like member 33, if the pulling force of the string-like member 33 is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the shape of the shape-maintaining material 27 is maintained.

[0083] Thereby, while maintaining the shape of the opening 29 of the hood body 7, the edge of the opening 29 of the hood body 7 can be brought into close contact with the protective cap 23.

[0084] As described above, the present embodiment has been described, but the present embodiment is not limited to these, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present embodiment.
