Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a disaster prevention belt in which the waistband portion serves as a disaster prevention hood and the drum portion itself has a storage space like a bag. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, awareness of disaster prevention has grown, leading to an increased demand for disaster prevention goods. While there are cold weather gear items with storage functions, such as wearable disaster prevention bags (Patent Document 1), these are not intended for use when wearing a kimono and are not designed for aesthetics. Furthermore, from the perspective of demand for kimono, the difficulty of wearing them and the rules and etiquette surrounding them leave few incentives for people to try wearing a kimono. As a solution, some have devised easy-to-wear obi (Patent Documents 2 and 3), but because the obi is folded around the knot, it provides volume and cushioning but lacks storage space. Furthermore, some obi pillows, which are necessary for putting on an obi, are pouch-shaped and designed to hold valuables such as wallets (Patent Document 4), but they lack the storage capacity to hold disaster prevention supplies, and no obi itself is designed to function like a bag. There is also a multipurpose fukuro obi that has a pocket at the obi pillow position, and after taking off the kimono, you can wrap the kimono, sandals, obi, etc. in the drum part and store them all together, and carry it like a shoulder bag (Patent Document 5).However, since it was designed with an emphasis on carrying the kimono, it does not have the hand element that is characteristic of fukuro obi when worn as an obi.In addition, since it is wrapped and fastened with a hook-and-loop fastener, the short side of the long fabric that forms the drum part is closed, but the long side is not fastened or covered, so it is not bag-like.

[0004] An obi is essential for wearing a kimono, and is a large, three-dimensional object attached to the waist (formed by the obi itself being tied and folded), but it does not have the storage space of a bag, so although it is beautiful, it lacks functionality. Some obi can temporarily store a cell phone or small wallet in the waistband or obi pillow, or can be wrapped around the kimono after being removed from the body, but there are no obi that take advantage of the fact that they are attached to the body to prepare for emergencies or have the functionality of a bag.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has as its object to provide an obi that is easy to wear, beautiful, and has useful functions. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The disaster prevention belt of the present invention is a disaster prevention belt comprising a waistband portion that is wrapped around the body and a drum portion that is placed on the back of the body, and is characterized in that the waistband portion comprises a lengthy waistband main body, string portions extending from both ends of the waistband main body in the short direction, and a locking portion at one end of the lengthwise direction of the waistband main body that is used to wrap the waistband main body around the head and lock it in place.

[0007] One embodiment of the disaster prevention belt of the present invention is one in which the drum portion has a hole portion for inserting the waist band portion, a hole portion for inserting an obi belt, and a bag portion with a storage space. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, while retaining the original shape of the obi, the waistband and drum section have been given additional functions, so that the waistband section in particular can function as a disaster prevention hood and the drum section can function as a bag, making it possible to prepare for emergencies and reduce the amount of luggage one needs to carry. Having an obi that functions as a disaster prevention hood and a bag may seem like something unorthodox to those involved in the manufacture and sale of kimono, but the present invention has the potential to enhance the artistic value and usefulness of Japanese culture and to incorporate new functions into culture.

[0010] The disaster prevention belt of the present invention can be worn as Japanese clothing, and in the event of an emergency, it can also be used as a disaster prevention hood or disaster prevention bag. The first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0011] First Embodiment The disaster prevention belt of the first embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to Figs.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a rear view of the disaster prevention belt according to the first embodiment when worn, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the disaster prevention belt according to the first embodiment when worn.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the disaster prevention belt 1 of the first embodiment comprises a waistband portion 2 and a drum portion 3. In the event of an emergency, the waistband portion 2 functions as a disaster prevention hood, and the drum portion 3 itself has the function of being able to carry disaster prevention supplies.

[0014] As shown in Figure 3, the waistband portion 2 comprises a cylindrical, lengthy waistband main body 4, string portions 5 extending from both ends of the short side of the waistband main body 4, and a fastening portion 6 at one end of the longitudinal direction of the waistband main body 4, which is wrapped around the head and fastened when the waistband main body 4 is used as a disaster prevention hood.

[0015] The waistband body 4 has an outer band 4a that can be seen from the outside and an inner mesh fabric 4b that is connected to the outer band 4a and placed close to the body. The outer band 4a is made of, for example, a flame-retardant material, and the mesh fabric 4b is made of a breathable mesh fabric.

[0016] The obi fabric 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are both rectangular, elongated pieces of fabric. The longitudinal widths of the obi fabric 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are identical, while the lateral width of the mesh fabric 4b is longer than that of the obi fabric 4a. The lateral widths of the obi fabric 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are configured so that when the obi fabric 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are folded in half along the dashed line in Figure 3 and placed against the abdominal torso, only the obi fabric 4a is visible from the outside. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, when the waistband body 4 is folded in half along the dashed line in Figure 3, the obi fabric is positioned on the outside and the mesh fabric is positioned on the inside closest to the body. The obi fabric 4a and the mesh fabric 4b are joined at both longitudinal ends to form a cylindrical integrated unit.

[0017] The string portion 5 includes a first string 5a that is inserted into a cylindrical body made of the obi fabric 4a and mesh fabric 4b so as to follow the upper part of the obi fabric's waistband portion (hereinafter referred to as the "upper part of the waistband portion") of the obi fabric 4a when the waistband main body 4 is folded in half along the dashed line in Fig. 3, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, and a second string 5b that is inserted into a cylindrical body made of the obi fabric 4a and mesh fabric 4b so as to follow the lower part of the obi fabric's waistband portion (hereinafter referred to as the "loop") of the obi fabric when the waistband main body 4 is folded in half along the dashed line in Fig. 3. In addition, to prevent the inserted first string 5a and second string 5b from slipping out of place, string fixing loops 5c are arranged at both ends and the center on the upper part of the obi fabric's waistband portion inside the cylindrical body and at both ends and the center on the loop side. The string fixing loop 5c is loop-shaped and fixes the position of the string by passing the first string 5a or the second string 5b through it.

[0018] In this embodiment, the fastening portion 6 is made of a snap button, and both the recessed and protruding portions of this snap button are attached to the mesh fabric 4b and are arranged on the same line at a predetermined distance. Specifically, when the waistband main body 4 is folded in half along the dashed line in Figure 1, the snap button is arranged close to the upper part of the waistband arm of the obi fabric 4a.

[0019] As shown in Figure 5, the drum body 3 forms the shape of a drum knot when the obi is tied, and is equipped with a drum surface 3a and a hand tip 3b that form the drum shape, and a hanging part 3c that forms the hanging part of the drum knot.

[0020] The drum surface 3a is made of a rectangular piece of cloth. The hand end 3b is made of a rectangular bag with an internal storage space. One short-side end of the drum surface 3a is detachably attached to one open end of the hand end 3b, and the other short-side end of the drum surface 3a is sewn to the other open end of the hand end 3b. A joint 3e is provided at one short-side end of the drum surface 3a and one open end of the hand end 3b. In this embodiment, the joint 3e is made of a zipper. When the short-side end of the drum surface 3a and the open end of the hand end 3b are joined together, a cylindrical body is formed, and the opening of this cylindrical body becomes the obijime hole 3i. The drum surface 3a and hand end 3b are made of the same fabric as the obi fabric 4a.

[0021] Furthermore, when the drum surface 3a and the hand tip 3b are joined together, a space is formed between the drum surface 3a and the hand tip 3b, and a pouch 3f serving as a pillow is placed in this space.

[0022] The obi pillow substitute pouch 3f functions as an obi pillow and is made up of an oval-shaped bag body like an obi pillow, with a zipper opening and closing opening and strings sewn on the left and right sides for fixing.

[0023] A waist wrapping passage 3d is provided on the side of the hand end portion 3b closest to the body. This waist wrapping passage 3d is formed as a rectangular tubular body and is provided integrally with the hand end portion 3b. The waist wrapping main body 4, folded in half as shown in Figure 4, is inserted and fixed inside the tubular body of the waist wrapping passage 3d. A hand end seam 3g, which forms the end of the hand end of the obi, is located on one side portion in the short direction of the hand end portion 3b. The waist wrapping passage 3d is made of mesh fabric of the same material as the mesh fabric 4b.

[0024] In this embodiment, a storage bag 3h is placed in the storage space of the hand part 3b.

[0025] A hanging portion 3c is attached to the lower longitudinal portion of the end portion 3b to preserve the distinctive shape of the obi and maintain its beauty, and the hanging portion 3c is made of the same fabric as the obi fabric 4a.

[0026] A method for using the drum part of the disaster prevention belt of the first embodiment as a disaster prevention bag will be described below.

[0024] First, towels, a lightweight folding umbrella, and other disaster preparedness supplies are placed inside the pouch-shaped obi pillow substitute pouch 3e, so that it takes on an oval shape like an obi pillow. Note that the obi sash is omitted in the illustration here for ease of understanding, but just like a traditional obi pillow, it is wrapped in an obi sash or furoshiki beforehand.

[0027] A storage bag 3h for disaster prevention supplies and the like is placed in the bag-shaped end portion 3b of the drum main body 3. In order to maintain the original shape of the drum knot, the bag-shaped end portion 3b of the drum main body 3 does not have an opening like a lid. For this reason, it is recommended that the storage bag 3h be stored in a furoshiki or pouch. Also, from the perspective of disaster prevention, if the contents are wrapped in a furoshiki, the furoshiki itself can be used as a disaster prevention item to be useful for first aid for injuries, etc.

[0028] After placing the storage bag 3h into the bag-shaped hand end portion 3b, a pouch 3c used as a substitute for an obi pillow, wrapped in an obi sash or similar, is placed on top of the storage bag 3h, and the fabric of the drum portion surface 3a and the upper part of the hand end portion 3b closest to the body are fastened together with a zipper at the joint 3e to form the drum portion main body 3.

[0029] Next, we will explain how to wear an obi by combining the waist wrapping portion 2 and the drum portion 3. The waist wrapping portion main body 3d is folded in half and inserted into the waist wrapping hole 3d of the drum portion main body 3, which is shaped to incorporate a storage bag 3h and a pouch 3e as a substitute for an obi pillow, and moved to the middle of the waist wrapping portion main body 4. As shown in Figure 2, this is placed against the abdominal area of ​​the torso, and the first string 5a and the second string 5b are tied and secured at the back of the torso. The drum portion main body 3, which was initially moved to the middle of the waist wrapping portion main body 3d, is then moved to the back of the torso, and the drum portion main body 3 is further secured with the string of the pouch 3e as a substitute for an obi pillow. Finally, the obiage is adjusted, and the obijime is passed through the obijime hole 3i and fastened.

[0030] A method for wearing the waistband main body 4 of the disaster prevention belt of the first embodiment as a hood will be described below.

[0031] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the waistband main body 4 in the unfolded state of Figure 3, with the mesh fabric 4b of the waistband main body 4 facing inward when worn as a disaster prevention hood. To create a hood-like shape, a fastening part 6 is provided at a location approximately at ear height when worn to fasten the fabric covering the back of the head. Note that while the fastening part 6 is made of a snap button in the first embodiment, it is not limited to a snap button and any material may be used as long as it can shape the waistband main body 4 into a hood-like shape.

[0032] As shown in Figure 6, when wearing the disaster prevention hood, the first string 5a, which is passed through the upper part of the waistband and extends from both ends of the short side, is tied at the base of the neck under the chin. Also, when wearing the waistband, the second string 5b, which is passed through the ring side and extends from both ends of the short side, is passed from the front of the shoulders to the armpits on both sides and tied at the back, thereby preventing the hood from slipping or falling off.

[0033] The disaster prevention belt of the first embodiment configured as described above can be worn when wearing a kimono, and can also be used as a disaster prevention hood or disaster prevention bag in the event of an emergency.

[0034] Second Embodiment The disaster prevention belt of the second embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the same parts as those of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0035] In the disaster prevention belt of the second embodiment, the configuration of the drum portion main body and the configuration of the waist wrapping portion are partially different from those of the first embodiment.

[0036] Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the structure of the back of the transparent drum part. Note that for ease of understanding, the obiage is omitted in the illustration.

[0037] The drum body 10 of the second embodiment comprises a bag body 11 that is rectangular and drum-shaped when viewed from the back of the body, a hand end portion 12 provided on one side of the bag body 11 facing the body, and a cylindrical waist wrapping portion 3d provided on one side of the hand end portion 12 facing the body.

[0038] The bag 11 is made of a transparent material, and can store artificial flowers or favorite goods inside in a manner that allows them to be seen from the outside. The bag 11 has an upper opening that can be opened and closed using a zipper 13. The obi fabric 4a of the waistband 4 is also made of a similar transparent material.

[0039] Between the bag body 11 and the hand end portion 12, an obi belt insertion hole 3i for passing an obi belt is provided in the middle of the longitudinal direction of the side surface.

[0040] The bag body 11 has a space formed when the upper opening is closed with a fastener 13, and the pouch 3f can be inserted into this space.

[0041] In addition to being usable for disaster prevention, the disaster prevention belt of the second embodiment has a bag body 11 made of a transparent material, so that artificial flowers or favorite goods can be placed in the drum-shaped part that can be seen from the back of the body, and the belt can be worn with the artificial flowers or favorite goods on display like a display.

[0042] The disaster prevention belt of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the joint 3e of the first embodiment can be positioned so that it can be seen from the back of the drum surface 3a, and a fastener like that used on a bag or backpack can be used instead of a zipper to open and close the lid. Furthermore, since the obi can also store disaster prevention supplies, you can prepare for disasters by displaying the beautiful obi close at hand, not only when wearing it but also when storing it.
