[0010] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. [First embodiment] 1 and 2 are diagrams showing a garment 1 that is EF wear according to a first embodiment, with (a) being a front view and (b) being a back view, respectively. Fig. 1 shows a state in which an electric fan 6 is attached to a front body part 3, and Fig. 2 shows a state in which an electric fan 6 is attached to a back body part 4. The garment 1 of the first embodiment is a vest-type outer garment, and its garment body 2 has a torso section with a front body section 3, a back body section 4, and underarm sections 5 that cover the wearer's torso, and has a front-opening structure using a slide fastener or the like.

[0011] Around the waist of the garment body 2, attachment holes 7 are formed on the left and right sides of the front body 3 and the left and right sides of the back body 4 for detachably attaching an electric fan 6. As described in Patent Document 1, for example, the electric fan 6 is configured to sandwich the garment body between a flange of the fan body and a fixing ring. The area including the attachment holes 7 supports the electric fan 6, so interlining is provided to prevent it from losing its shape. Note that in Figures 1 and 2, the rectangular dotted line 7a around the attachment holes 7 indicates the thread used to sew the interlining, and in this embodiment, this corresponds to the area including the attachment holes 7.

[0012] The armholes 8 of the garment body 2 are double-sleeved, with the inner sleeves fitted tightly around the wearer's arms with elastic or the like to prevent air from leaking out from inside the garment 1. The hem 9 of the garment body 2 is fitted tightly around the wearer's waist with elastic or the like to prevent air from leaking out from inside the garment 1.

[0013] Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the main parts of the garment 1 according to the first embodiment. Figure 3 shows the back side (inside) of the garment body 2, including the attachment hole 7 (hereinafter sometimes designated 7b for convenience) in the front body piece 3 and the attachment hole 7 (hereinafter sometimes designated 7c for convenience) in the back body piece 4 on either the left or right side. 3, one side 10a of a rectangular sheet-like member 10 is connected to the back surface of the garment body 2 at a position between the two attachment holes 7b, 7c. The sheet-like member 10 is made, for example, from the same fabric as the garment body 2, and one side 10a of the sheet-like member 10 is sewn to the back surface of the garment body 2. Furthermore, as will be described below, the sheet-like member 10 has a size that allows it to cover the attachment holes 7b, 7c.

[0014] As shown in Figure 3, by turning the sheet-like member 10 like a page of a book, in other words, by tilting it in direction A1 or A2, any one of the attachment holes 7b, 7c can be closed and the other open. Figure 1 shows the state in which the attachment hole 7 in the back body 4 is closed, and Figure 2 shows the state in which the attachment hole 7 in the front body 3 is closed. In this way, the attachment holes 7 can be switched between a state in which they are visible and a state in which they are not. Note that, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, when the attachment holes 7 are closed with the sheet-like member 10, the sheet-like member 10 is positioned at the back of the attachment holes 7 when viewed from the outside.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 3, hook-and-loop fasteners 11 are attached to the back surface of the garment main body 2 around the attachment holes 7. Furthermore, hook-and-loop fasteners 12 are attached to both surfaces of the sheet-like member 10 in positions corresponding to the hook-and-loop fasteners 11 on the garment main body 2. By joining the hook-and-loop fasteners 11, 12, the sheet-like member 10 can be fixed to the back surface of the garment main body 2, keeping the attachment holes 7 closed. Note that although hook-and-loop fasteners 11, 12 are shown here as an example, the fastening means for fastening the sheet-like member 10 is not limited to this and may be buttons or the like.

[0016] The sheet-like member 10 may be made into a bag shape or provided with a pocket so that it can store a cooling agent, a heat generating agent, a cooling unit, a heat generating unit, or the like.

[0017] As described above, the garment 1 according to the first embodiment is configured so that the position of the electric fan 6 can be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the electric fan 6 is normally attached to the attachment hole 7 in the back body 4, and the attachment hole 7 in the front body 3 is closed with the sheet-like member 10. When the electric fan 6 on the back side would be in the way, for example, when working while seated or lying down, the electric fan 6 can be attached to the attachment hole 7 in the front body 3, and the attachment hole 7 in the back body 4 can be closed with the sheet-like member 10, as shown in FIG. 1. In this way, the attachment hole 7 where the electric fan 6 is not attached is not left open, which prevents the outflow of air from inside the garment 1 and maintains its functionality as EF wear. As described above, the functionality of the garment 1 to which the electric fan 6 is detachably attached can be improved.

[0018] In the first embodiment, an example has been described in which the attachment holes 7 are arranged on the left and right sides of the front body 3 and the left and right sides of the back body 4 around the waist of the garment body 2, but this is not limited to this. For example, the attachment holes 7 may be arranged on the top and bottom of the front body 3 or the back body 4. In this case, one side 10a of the sheet-like member 10 may be connected at a position between the two top and bottom attachment holes 7.

[0019] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, an example in which one sheet-like member 10 is provided for two mounting holes 7 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one sheet-like member 10 may be provided for one mounting hole 7. In this case, each mounting hole 7 is configured to be independently switched between an open state and a closed state. Therefore, the position of the electric fan 6 can be changed, and it is also possible to, for example, close all of the mounting holes 7.

[0020] [Second embodiment] 4A and 4B are diagrams showing a garment 21, which is an EF wear according to a second embodiment; (a) is a rear view of the garment 21 without an electric fan 6 attached to the back body 4, and (b) is a rear view of the garment 21 with an electric fan 6 attached to the back body 4. The basic configuration of the garment 21 is the same as that of the garment 1 according to the first embodiment, and in the following, components common to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted. Note that, although the second embodiment will be described mainly with respect to the back body 4, the attachment holes 7 of the front body 3 may also be configured in the same manner as the attachment holes 7 of the back body 4, which will be described below.

[0021] Figures 5 and 6 show schematic diagrams of essential parts of a garment 21 according to a second embodiment. Figure 5 shows the back side (inside) of the garment body 2, including the attachment hole 7 of the back piece 4. Figure 6 shows the front side (outside) of the garment body 2, including the attachment hole 7 of the back piece 4, showing the state in which the sheet-like member 22 is being pulled out. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a vertically long opening 23 is provided in the garment body 2 adjacent to the attachment hole 7. A sheet-like member 22 can be slidably inserted through this opening 23. As shown in Figure 5, the opening 23 is covered with a strip-shaped cloth cover 24 provided on the back side of the garment body 2. As shown in Figure 6, the opening 23 is covered with a strip-shaped cloth cover 25 provided on the front side of the garment body 2. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the sheet-like member 22 is inserted into or removed from the opening 23 through the inside of the cloth covers 24, 25. The sheet-like member 22 is made of, for example, the same fabric as the garment body 2. Furthermore, the sheet-like member 22 has a size that allows it to close the attachment hole 7, as will be described below.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 5, in a stored state in which the sheet-like member 22 is positioned on the back side of the garment body 2, the attachment hole 7 can be left open. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, the attachment hole 7 can be closed by pulling the sheet-like member 22 out of the opening 23 to the front side of the garment body 2. In this way, the attachment hole 7 can be switched between a state in which the attachment hole 7 is visible and a state in which the attachment hole 7 is not visible. Note that, as shown in Fig. 4, when the attachment hole 7 is closed by the sheet-like member 22, the sheet-like member 22 is positioned so as to cover the attachment hole 7 from the outside when viewed from the outside.

[0023] 1 and 6, a hook-and-loop fastener 26 is attached to the surface of the garment main body 2 around the attachment hole 7. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 5, a hook-and-loop fastener 27 is attached to the surface of the sheet-like member 22 facing the wearer, in a position corresponding to the position of the hook-and-loop fastener 26 on the garment main body 2. By joining the hook-and-loop fasteners 26, 27 while the sheet-like member 22 is pulled out from the opening 23 to the front side of the garment main body 2, the sheet-like member 22 can be fixed to the surface of the garment main body 2, and the attachment hole 7 can be kept closed. 5, a hook-and-loop fastener 28 is attached to the surface of the sheet-like member 22 facing the wearer. The hook-and-loop fastener 28 is joined to a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown) on the inside of the cloth cover 24 when the sheet-like member 22 is pulled out from the opening 23 to the front side of the garment body 2. Furthermore, although not shown, corresponding hook-and-loop fasteners are attached to the back surface of the garment body 2 and the surface of the sheet-like member 22 opposite the wearer, and the sheet-like member 22 can be fixed to the back surface of the garment body 2 to maintain the stored state of the sheet-like member 22, i.e., the attachment hole 7, in an open state. Although hook and loop fasteners 26 to 28 and the like are shown here as examples, the fastening means for fastening the sheet-like member 22 is not limited to these, and buttons and the like may also be used.

[0024] The sheet-like member 22 may be made into a bag shape or provided with a pocket so that it can store ice packs, heat generating agents, cooling units, heating units, etc.

[0025] As described above, the garment 21 according to the second embodiment is configured so that each attachment hole 7 can be independently switched between an open state and a closed state. Therefore, the position of the electric fan 6 can be changed, and it is also possible to, for example, close all of the attachment holes 7. As described above, the functionality of the clothing 21 to which the electric fan 6 is detachably attached can be improved.

[0026] [Third embodiment] In the third embodiment, an EF wear 31 suitable for wearing in explosion-proof areas and having a fan cover 36 removably attached thereto will be described. FIG. 7 shows a garment 31 that is EF wear according to a third embodiment, where (a) is a front view and (b) is a back view. Garment 31 according to the third embodiment is a vest-type outer garment, and its garment body 32 has a torso section with a front body section 33, a back body section 34, and underarm sections 35 that cover the torso of the wearer, and has a front opening structure using a slide fastener or the like. As with garment 1 according to the first embodiment, the armholes and hem are adapted to fit closely to the wearer with elastic or the like. The garment 31 according to the third embodiment is EF wear suitable for use in explosion-proof areas, and antistatic, self-extinguishing, and flame-retardant materials are used for the garment body 32 and other parts. The slide fastener is concealed by a concealed front.

[0027] Mounting holes 37 for detachably attaching fan covers 36 are formed in the left and right underarms 35 of the garment body 32. As will be described in detail below, the fan covers 36 can be detachably attached using these mounting holes 37, and can cover the electric fan 6.

[0028] First, the fan cover 36 will be described with reference to FIG. 8. FIG. 8(a) is a front view of the fan cover 36, and FIG. 8(b) is a perspective view of the fan cover 36. The fan cover 36 has a generally elliptical dome shape and has an opening 36a cut in the longitudinal direction. The fan cover 36 is made, for example, from the same fabric as the garment body 32, incorporates curved resin parts, and uses interlining to maintain the dome shape. Alternatively, the fan cover 36 may be made of resin such as silicone resin.

[0029] A plurality of flat fixing pieces 36c protruding outward are provided as fixing portions on a peripheral edge 36b that forms the bottom of the dome shape of the fan cover 36. A hook-and-loop fastener 38 is attached to each fixing piece 36c.

[0030] Next, the garment body 32 will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 shows the back side (inside) of the garment body 32, including the attachment holes 37. As shown in FIG. 9( a), the attachment holes 37 formed in the underarm areas 35 of the garment body 32 have the same shape as the peripheral edge 36b of the fan cover 36, with the portion corresponding to the opening 36a facing downward. On the back surface of the garment body 32, hook-and-loop fasteners 39 are attached to the peripheral edge of the attachment holes 37 in positions corresponding to the hook-and-loop fasteners 38 on the fixing pieces 36c of the fan cover 36. The fan cover 36 can be secured by projecting the fan cover 36 outward from the back side of the garment body 32 through the attachment holes 37 and joining the hook-and-loop fasteners 38 on the fixing pieces 36c to the hook-and-loop fasteners 39 on the back surface of the garment body 32. When the fan cover 36 is attached so that it projects outward from the back side of the garment body 32, the peripheral edge 36b of the fan cover 36 is continuous with the outer surface of the garment body 32, and the downward-facing opening 36a and the outer surface of the garment body 32 form an air inlet.

[0031] 9(a) to 9(c), one side 40a of a rectangular sheet-like member 40 is connected to the back surface of the garment body 32 at a position adjacent to either the left or right side of the attachment hole 37, and one side 41a of a rectangular sheet-like member 41 is connected to the other side at a position adjacent to the attachment hole 37. These sheet-like members 40, 41 are made of the same fabric as the garment body 32, for example, and their sides 40a, 41a are sewn to the back surface of the garment body 32. The sheet-like member 40 has mounting holes 42 for detachably mounting the electric fan 6. Since the sheet-like member 40 supports the electric fan 6, it is provided with interlining to prevent it from losing its shape. On the other hand, the sheet-like member 41 has a flat surface with no mounting holes formed therein.

[0032] 9(a) shows a state in which the sheet-like members 40 and 41 are shifted from the positions of the attachment holes 37. In other words, the attachment holes 42 are shifted from the positions of the attachment holes 37.

[0033] From the state shown in FIG. 9(a), as indicated by arrow a1, the sheet-like member 40 can be turned over like a page of a book to position the mounting hole 42 at the mounting hole 37, as shown in FIG. 9(c). In this case, by attaching the fan cover 36 to the mounting hole 37 and the electric fan 6 to the mounting hole 42, the electric fan 6 can be covered with the fan cover 36, as shown in FIG. 7. As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 9, the fan cover 36 is positioned directly opposite the electric fan 6, completely covering it. Even when covered with the fan cover 36, the electric fan 6 can still introduce air through the air inlet defined by the opening 36a and send it into the interior of the garment. Note that the opening 36a, which defines the air inlet, may be provided with a filter or the like to prevent foreign matter from entering.

[0034] 9(a), as shown by arrow a2, by turning the sheet-like member 41 like a page of a book, the attachment holes 37 can be closed as shown in FIG. 9(b). The sheet-like member 41 may be made bag-shaped or provided with pockets so that ice packs, heat generating agents, cooling units, heating units, etc. can be stored therein. In this way, the state can be changed between a state in which the mounting hole 42 is exposed and a state in which the mounting hole 42 is not exposed.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 9( a), hook-and-loop fasteners 43 are attached to the back surface of the garment main body 32 around the attachment holes 37. A hook-and-loop fastener 44 is attached to the surface of the sheet-like member 40 facing the attachment holes 37, corresponding to the position of the hook-and-loop fastener 43 on the garment main body 32. Similarly, a hook-and-loop fastener 45 is attached to the surface of the sheet-like member 41 facing the attachment holes 37, corresponding to the position of the hook-and-loop fastener 43 on the garment main body 32. By joining the hook-and-loop fasteners 43, 44, the sheet-like member 40 is fixed to the back surface of the garment main body 32, and the attachment hole 42 can be kept positioned at the position of the attachment hole 37. By joining the hook-and-loop fasteners 43, 45, the sheet-like member 41 can be fixed to the back surface of the garment main body 32, and the attachment hole 37 can be kept closed.

[0036] 9(b), a hook-and-loop fastener 45 is attached to the back surface of the garment main body 32 in an area adjacent to the attachment hole 37. A hook-and-loop fastener 46 is attached to the surface of the sheet-like member 41 opposite the surface facing the attachment hole 37, in a position corresponding to the position of the hook-and-loop fastener 45 on the garment main body 32. By joining the hook-and-loop fasteners 45, 46, the sheet-like member 41 can be fixed to the back surface of the garment main body 32, as shown in FIG. 9(a), and the sheet-like member 41 can be maintained in a stored state. 9(c), a hook-and-loop fastener 47 is attached to the back surface of the garment main body 32 in an area adjacent to the attachment hole 37. A hook-and-loop fastener 48 is attached to the surface of the sheet-like member 40 opposite the surface facing the attachment hole 37, in a position corresponding to the hook-and-loop fastener 47 on the garment main body 32. By joining the hook-and-loop fasteners 47, 48, the sheet-like member 40 can be fixed to the back surface of the garment main body 32, as shown in FIG. 9(a), and the sheet-like member 41 can be maintained in a stored state.

[0037] As described above, in the garment 31 of the third embodiment, the electric fan 6 including the electric motor etc. can be covered with the fan cover 36, which is effective as an explosion-proof measure and also as a rainproof measure to prevent the intrusion of rain etc. In addition, the state can be changed between a state in which the mounting holes 42 are visible and a state in which the mounting holes 42 are not visible, and for example, it is possible to make all the mounting holes 42 invisible and block the attachment holes 37. As described above, the functionality of the clothing 31 to which the electric fan 6 is detachably attached can be improved.

[0038] Additionally, the fan cover 36 protrudes outward from the back side of the garment body 32 through the attachment holes 37, and is fixed to the back side of the garment body 32 via the fixing pieces 36c. Therefore, even when a force is applied to the fan cover 36 in a manner that tends to peel it off toward the outside of the garment body 32, the fixing pieces 36c are unlikely to come out of the attachment holes 37, making the fan cover 36 unlikely to fall off. For example, it is conceivable to simply fix the fan cover to the surface of the garment body via hook-and-loop fasteners, but in this case, there is a risk that the fan cover may easily fall off if a force is applied to the fan cover in a manner that tends to peel it off toward the outside of the garment body.

[0039] In the third embodiment, EF wear is described as being intended to be worn in explosion-proof areas, but even when the fan cover 36 is attached to normal EF wear, it is effective as a rain countermeasure to prevent the intrusion of rain, etc. The hardness of the fan cover 36 is optional, but may be such that the dome shape is maintained and the air inlet is secured even when the wearer leans against a backrest, a wall, or the like.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the above-described embodiments are merely examples of specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited by these embodiments. In other words, the present invention can be carried out in various forms without departing from its technical concept or main features. For example, in the embodiment, a vest-type outerwear was described, but the type of clothing to which the present invention can be applied is not limited, and it may be outerwear other than a vest-type outerwear (long-sleeved blousons, shirts, etc.), trousers, or overalls. Furthermore, the positions and numbers of the mounting holes 7, 42 and the attachment holes 37 described in the embodiment are merely examples and are not limited to these. In addition, in the embodiment, the electric fan 6 disclosed in Patent Document 1 is exemplified, but it is not limited to this, and any electric fan that can be detachably attached using an attachment hole can be used.
