Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to temperature control clothing such as work clothes to which a temperature control member is attached and which can effectively cool and heat the interior.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as a measure against heat stroke at work sites, work clothes with a fan attached thereto to take in outside air into the work clothes for cooling have been used. However, although the work clothes with the fan have an air-cooling effect, the clothes may expand and affect workability in some cases.

[0003] Therefore, in recent years, by using a temperature control member such as a Peltier element that can be cooled and heated by energization, a proposal has been made to directly give a cold feeling and a warm feeling to a worker to achieve a cooling effect and a heating effect (Citation Document 1). When this temperature control member is used, unlike air conditioning by a fan, there is an advantage that it does not expand the inside of the work clothes, can be miniaturized, does not affect workability, and does not impair fashionability.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0010] Next, the temperature control clothing according to the embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the state where the temperature control member is attached to the upper garment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective explanatory diagram showing the state before the temperature control member is attached to the upper garment.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, on the upper garment member 1, two front pleat ridges 2a are formed vertically at a predetermined interval in the upper central part on the outer surface side, and two back pleat ridges 2b are formed vertically at a predetermined interval at a position corresponding to the front pleat ridges 2a in the upper central part on the inner surface side, whereby a box pleat-shaped attachment portion 2 is formed.

[0012] The front pleat ridges 2a and the back pleat ridges 2b are continuously formed from the lower end of the yoke portion 1a to the upper end of the collar portion 1b of the upper garment member 1, and a vertically long box pleat shape is formed up to the upper end of the collar portion 1b.

[0013] A locking member 3 is sewn and attached to the attachment portion 2, and a temperature control member 4 is attached to this locking member 3. This locking member 3 is a cloth member having a width wider than the interval between the two back pleat ridges 2b of the attachment portion 2 formed on the upper garment member 1, and having substantially the same length as the vertical length of the box pleat-shaped attachment portion 2, and is configured to have a size that covers the attachment portion 2.

[0014] Further, the locking member 3 is configured as a single cloth member in which a joint portion 3a sewn to the attachment portion 2 and a locking portion 3b for locking and attaching the temperature control member 4 are integrated. Sewing portions 3a1 for sewing to the attachment portion 2 are formed at both ends in the width direction of the joint portion 3a, and a locking opening 3c for locking the temperature control member 4 is formed in the locking portion 3b.

[0015] When attaching the locking member 3 to the upper garment member 1, the stitching portions 3a1 at both ends in the width direction of the joint portion 3a are stitched along the hidden pleats 2b of the attachment portion 2 so that the locking member 3 covers the attachment portion 2. At this time, the locking portion 3b located below the joint portion 3a is not stitched to the attachment portion 2 and is made into a frash shape.

[0016] When the locking member 3 is attached to the upper garment member 1 as described above, a cylindrical portion 5 is formed by the box shape of the attachment portion 2 and the locking member 3 in the region of the joint portion 3a as shown in FIG. 1(b). Note that the locking member 3 of the present embodiment is made of a stretchable mesh fabric, and even if the stitching portion 3a1 is stitched along the hidden pleat 2b, the stretchability of the pleats is not impaired.

[0017] On the other hand, the locking portion 3b that is not stitched to the attachment portion 2 is in a state of hanging down as a frash. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a locking opening 3c for attaching the temperature control member 4 is formed substantially at the center of the locking portion 3b. The inner diameter of the locking opening 3c is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the locking convex portion 4a formed on the temperature control member 4. The locking convex portion 4a is fitted into the locking opening 3c, and the engaging ring 4b is engaged or screwed to the locking convex portion 4a so as to sandwich the locking member 3. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the temperature control member 4 can be attached to the locking member 3 stitched to the upper garment member 1.

[0018] The temperature control member 4 attached to the locking member 3 is a member capable of cooling and heating. In the present embodiment, a Peltier element is used as the temperature control member 4, and this Peltier element is connected to a portable battery (not shown) via a cord 6.

[0019] When the Peltier element is energized, for example, when one side surface (front surface) 4c shown in FIG. 1(b) is cooled, the other side surface (back surface) 4d generates heat. Therefore, in order to cool the inside of the upper garment member 1, it is necessary to exhaust the heated air, and conversely, in order to heat the inside of the upper garment member 1, it is necessary to exhaust the cooled air.

[0020] At this time, in the present embodiment, as described above, a cylindrical portion 5 surrounded by the box shape of the mounting portion 2 and the locking member 3 is formed. The surface 4c of the temperature control member 4 attached to the locking member 3 faces the outside of the cylindrical portion, while the back surface 4d of the temperature control member 4 faces the inside of the cylindrical portion 5. Therefore, when the surface 4c of the temperature control member 4 is energized to be cooled, the air heated by the heat generation of the back surface 4d of the temperature control member 4 is exhausted upward through the cylindrical portion serving as an air passage.

[0021] In the present embodiment, since the locking member 3 is made of a mesh fabric, the heated air is exhausted through the air passage. On the other hand, the locking member 3 does not have to be a mesh fabric, and for example, a member without air permeability may be used. In that case, if an exhaust opening is formed at the upper end of the cylindrical portion surrounded by the box shape of the mounting portion 2 and the locking member 3, the air can be efficiently exhausted from the opening.

[0022] Thereby, when cooling the surface 4c of the temperature control member 4, the air heated from the back surface 4d can be efficiently exhausted, and the upper body member 1 can be effectively cooled.

[0023] Also, as described above, the temperature control member 4 is attached to the flange portion of the locking member 3. Therefore, when attaching the temperature control member 4 to the locking opening 3c, the temperature control member 4 can be easily fitted into the locking opening 3c from the surface side of the locking member 3 and engaged with the temperature control member 4 with the engagement ring 4b from the back surface side of the locking member 3. Therefore, a configuration in which the temperature control member 4 is attached so as to sandwich the locking member 3 can be adopted, and it is only necessary to provide the locking opening 3c in the locking member 3 for attaching the temperature control member 4, and the attachment configuration can be simplified.

[0024] Furthermore, since the temperature control member 4 is attached to the flapped portion, this portion is in a state of being swingable with respect to the upper garment member 1. For this reason, for example, when electricity is passed to cool the surface 4c of the temperature control member 4, as shown in FIG. 5(a), when the user M of the upper garment member 1 bends forward, the temperature control member 4 swings and the cooled surface 4c comes into close contact with the user's back. For this reason, the user can directly feel the cold air and can experience the cooling effect.

[0025] Conversely, as shown in FIG. 5(b), when the user M of the upper garment member 1 straightens the back, the temperature control member 4 swings and the cooled surface 4c separates from the user's back. Thereby, the user can relieve the cold feeling from the temperature control member 4.

[0026] By attaching the temperature control member 4 to the unstitched flapped portion of the locking member 3 in this way, it is possible to directly change the temperature adjustment by the temperature control member 4 when the user changes the posture.

[0027] In the present embodiment, as described above, a box pleat-shaped attachment portion 2 is formed on the upper garment member 1 of the locking member 3, and the locking member 3 is stitched along the hidden fold line to form an unnecessary heat air passage, so that efficient temperature control can be performed.

[0028] Also, in the present embodiment, when attaching the temperature control member 4, by using the box pleat shape formed on the upper garment member 1, the stretchability of the back in the upper garment member 1 can be maintained.

[0029] Also, in the present embodiment, the temperature control member 4 is the locking member 3 of By attaching it to the flapped portion, it is only necessary to provide a locking opening 3c for attaching the temperature control member 4 in the locking member 3, and the attachment configuration of the temperature control member 4 can be simplified.

[0030] Also, in the present embodiment, the temperature control member 4 is the locking member 3 ofBy attaching it to the flushing part, it is possible to directly change the temperature adjustment by the temperature control member 4 by the user changing their posture.

[0031] In the above-described embodiment, the locking member 3 is attached by sewing it along the hidden fold of the attachment part 2. However, as a configuration for attaching the locking member 3 to the attachment part 2, it is not necessary to limit it to sewing. For example, it may be attached by adhering both ends in the width direction of the locking member 3 along the hidden fold of the attachment part 2. Alternatively, both ends in the width direction of the locking member 3 may be joined along the box shape of the attachment part 2 as long as a cylindrical part can be formed by the box shape and the locking member 3.

[0032] In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the vertical length of the locking member 3 is made substantially the same as the vertical length of the attachment part 2 having a box pleat shape to cover the attachment part 2. However, the vertical length of the locking member 3 may be shorter than that of the attachment part 2. Even if the vertical length of the locking member 3 is shorter than the vertical length of the attachment part 2, if the cylindrical part 5 described above is formed above the locking opening 3c, the heat from the back surface 4d of the temperature control member 4 is effectively exhausted from the cylindrical part 5.

[0033] In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the attachment part 2 is provided from the lower end of the yoke part 1a to the upper end of the collar part 1b of the upper garment member 1. However, the attachment part 2 is not limited to this part. For example, it may be provided from a part of the back body 1c (see FIG. 3) to the collar part 1b.

[0034] In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the attachment part 2 is provided at one location in the upper central part of the back surface of the upper garment member 1 and one temperature control member is provided here. However, a plurality of temperature control members may be configured to be attachable by providing the attachment part 2 on the left and right in addition to the central part.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the inside of the upper garment member 1 is cooled by cooling the surface of the temperature control member 4. However, conversely, it may be a case where the surface of the temperature control member 4 is energized to be heated and the inside of the upper garment member 1 is heated.
