Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to fishing wear. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, fishing wear has been known that includes, for example, a waterproof outer layer and a water-absorbent inner layer disposed on the back surface of the outer layer (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). In the fishing wear described in Patent Document 2, a resin material prevents water droplets that have penetrated into the sleeves and been absorbed by the moisture-absorbing lining from spreading throughout the lining. Specifically, the moisture-absorbing lining is partitioned by resin tape at a predetermined position from the cuffs toward the elbows, and water droplets that have penetrated into the moisture-absorbing lining on the cuff side, which is partitioned by the resin material, are absorbed.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-163723 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-221711 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the resin material prevents the absorbed water droplets from diffusing throughout the absorbent lining, limiting the amount of water that the absorbent lining can absorb. In other words, when the absorbent lining becomes saturated, water droplets come into contact with the wearer's skin, reducing comfort. Furthermore, in order to increase the water absorption capacity of such a configuration, it was necessary to increase the thickness of the absorbent lining material to increase the water absorption capacity in the partitioned area around the cuffs. As a result, the cuffs of the garment became thicker, making it difficult for the wearer to move and hindering the functionality of the garment, and in this respect there was room for improvement.

[0005] The present invention was made in consideration of these circumstances, and its purpose is to provide fishing wear that can further improve the wearer's comfort while maintaining wearability without interfering with the wearer's functionality. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) The fishing wear of the present invention is characterized by comprising a waterproof outer layer, an inner layer arranged inside the outer layer, and an absorbent intermediate layer arranged between the outer layer and the inner layer.

[0007] According to the fishing wear of the present invention, the outer layer is made of a waterproof material, which prevents sea spray and rainwater from penetrating through the outer layer to the underside of the outer layer. Water droplets that penetrate through the cuffs and moisture from sweat emanating from the wearer's skin permeate or bypass the inner layer, reaching the intermediate layer between the inner and outer layers and being absorbed. In other words, the present invention can prevent water droplets from being absorbed by or adhering to the inner layer. This prevents moisture from coming into contact with the wearer's skin, maintaining the wearer's comfort.

[0008] Furthermore, the present invention allows the intermediate layer to be positioned over almost the entire back surface of the outer layer. This allows partially absorbed moisture to permeate and diffuse throughout the intermediate layer, ensuring a sufficient absorption capacity for the intermediate layer. For example, even if a large amount of water seeps in through the cuffs, the intermediate layer's absorption capacity will not become saturated, and the intermediate layer can maintain a sufficient absorption capacity. This prevents the intermediate layer from exceeding its absorption capacity and becoming saturated, resulting in moisture adhering to the inside of the garment and resulting in moisture coming into contact with the wearer's skin, which can lead to a loss of comfort for the wearer.

[0009] Furthermore, in the present invention, as described above, absorbed water droplets are dispersed throughout the entire intermediate layer, ensuring sufficient water absorption, eliminating the need to increase the thickness of the intermediate layer to increase water absorption as in the past. This prevents increases in component costs, eliminates the inconvenience of hindering the wearer's movement due to increased thickness, and maintains the wearability of the fishing wear when fishing.

[0010] (2) The inner layer may have a through-hole that penetrates the inner layer in the thickness direction at a portion on the side of an opening end formed in the garment, thereby communicating between the inside of the garment and the intermediate layer.

[0011] In this case, water droplets that penetrate through the opening edge pass through the opening edge side of the inner layer, reach the intermediate layer, and are absorbed. That is, water droplets that penetrate through the opening edge are absorbed by the intermediate layer before penetrating between the inner layer and the wearer's skin on the inside of the garment, thereby preventing water droplets from penetrating between the inner layer and the skin from the opening edge. In this way, the present invention can more reliably prevent moisture from coming into contact with the wearer's skin, allowing for a continuous comfortable state.

[0012] (3) It is preferable that the tip portions of the inner layer and the intermediate layer formed on the opening end side of the garment are farther from the opening end than the tip portion of the outer layer on the opening end side, and that the tip portion of the inner layer is farther from the opening end than the tip portion of the intermediate layer.

[0013] In this case, because the portions on the open ends of the tip of the inner layer and the tip of the intermediate layer are open, water droplets that penetrate from those open ends directly reach and are absorbed by the open end portion of the intermediate layer. That is, water droplets that penetrate from the open end of, for example, a cuff, are absorbed by the intermediate layer before penetrating between the inner layer and the wearer's skin. This prevents water droplets from penetrating from the open end between the inner layer and the skin, further improving comfort for the wearer.

[0014] (4) The inner layer may be made of a waterproof material.

[0015] In this case, because the inner layer is waterproof, water droplets that penetrate through the cuffs are blocked by the inner layer and easily reach the edge of the intermediate layer. Water droplets that reach the intermediate layer are absorbed by the intermediate layer. In other words, water droplets that penetrate through the open edge are less likely to penetrate between the inner layer and the wearer's skin, more reliably preventing moisture from coming into contact with the wearer's skin, allowing for continuous comfort.

[0016] (5) The inner layer may be made of a moisture-permeable material.

[0017] In this case, moisture emitted from the wearer's skin passes through the inner layer and is absorbed by the intermediate layer. In other words, the moisture is not absorbed by the inner layer that comes into contact with the wearer's skin. This reduces humidity inside the garment, improving the environment inside the garment and increasing comfort.

[0018] (6) The intermediate layer may be continuous in the surface direction from the cuff to the elbow.

[0019] In this case, the temperature inside the clothing drops, improving the environment inside the clothing. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] The fishing wear according to the present invention can further improve the comfort of the wearer while maintaining wearability without interfering with the functionality of the wear. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] Hereinafter, an embodiment of fishing wear according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that in each drawing, the scale of each component may be changed as necessary to make each component large enough to be visible.

[0023] (First embodiment) As shown in Figure 1, the fishing wear 1 of this first embodiment is a rain suit worn while fishing, and is an upper garment equipped with a hood 14. The fishing wear 1 has left and right sleeve portions 10 formed in a cylindrical shape, a front portion 11 that can be opened and closed with a zipper, a back portion 12, and a neck portion 13. The fishing wear 1 has the function of preventing the intrusion of water such as rainwater and sea spray, as well as the function of keeping out the cold.

[0024] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, fishing wear 1 has a three-layer structure including an outer layer 2 made of a waterproof material, an inner layer 3 arranged inside the outer layer 2 and made of a waterproof and breathable material, and a water-absorbent (hygroscopic) intermediate layer 4 arranged between the outer layer 2 and the inner layer 3. Figures 2 and 3 show sleeve portions 10. An example of the structure of the sleeve portion 10 of fishing wear 1 will be described below. The sleeve portion 10 has a sleeve main body 10A and a cuff 10B located on the open end 10a side of the sleeve main body 10A. The cuff 10B is formed from the outer layer 2.

[0025] Here, the following description will be given assuming that the side of the fishing wear 1 that is exposed outward in the thickness direction is the outer side, and the back side that faces the skin Ma of the wearer M shown in FIG. 3 is the inner side. In the following explanation, water and water droplets are all referred to as water W1, which is defined as a liquid in which water molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds and have a large apparent molecular weight. Water vapor (humidity W2) is defined as a gas in which water molecules exist as single molecules.

[0026] The outer layer 2 is formed so as to be longer toward the opening edge 10a of the sleeve portion 10 than the inner layer 3 and the intermediate layer 4. The tips 3c, 4c of the inner layer 3 and the intermediate layer 4 on the opening edge 10a side are shorter toward the elbow of the sleeve portion 10 than the tips of the outer layer 2. That is, the tip 3c of the inner layer 3 and the tip 4c of the intermediate layer 4 are farther from the opening edge 10a than the tip of the outer layer 2 on the opening edge side. In this embodiment, the tip 3c of the inner layer 3 and the tip 4c of the intermediate layer 4 on the cuff 10B side are positioned in the same position. The intermediate layer 4 is also shorter in length than the inner layer 3. The inner surface 2a of the outer layer 2 is connected to the outer surface 4b of the intermediate layer 4 by point bonding, surface bonding, or sewing. In this way, the sleeve portion 10 has a through portion 10b formed on the opening end 10a side of the tip 3c of the inner layer 3 and the tip 4c of the intermediate layer 4, which connects from the wearer M's skin Ma side to the tip 4c of the intermediate layer 4.

[0027] The waterproof fabric for the outer layer 2 may be, for example, a fabric with a waterproof film or coating. Examples of waterproof films include polyurethane films and fabrics that combine water-repellent surfaces with waterproof film laminates. Examples of coatings include PU (polyurethane) coatings and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coatings.

[0028] The inner layer 3 is provided in a laminated state on the inner surface 4a of the intermediate layer 4. The outer surface 3b of the inner layer 3 is connected to the inner surface 4a of the intermediate layer 4 by point bonding, surface bonding, or sewing. The fabric material for the inner layer 3 is, for example, a waterproof fabric with the same waterproof film or coating as the outer layer 2, but also a breathable material. That is, the inner layer 3 is made of a material that is permeable only to moisture W2 (water vapor) but not to water W1. In other words, in the fishing wear 1, moisture W2 that permeates the inner layer 3 from the inside is absorbed by the inner surface 4a of the absorbent intermediate layer 4.

[0029] The intermediate layer 4 is continuous in the surface direction from the cuff 10B toward the elbow. The intermediate layer 4 is configured to be able to absorb water W1 that has entered through the cuff 10B through the through-holes 10b. The intermediate layer 4 is connected to the outer layer 2 and the inner layer 3 by spot bonding, surface bonding, or sewing. Because the layers are connected in this manner, the bonding does not inhibit the absorption of moisture W2 that has permeated the inner layer 3. The material used for the water-absorbent / moisture-wicking fabric of the intermediate layer 4 is, for example, a material that is water-absorbent and quick-drying, and has a large surface area such as pile on the skin side of the fabric (tricot, pile, brushed tricot, etc.) so that it can easily absorb water droplets.

[0030] Next, the operation of the fishing wear 1 configured as above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the fishing wear 1 according to this embodiment, the outer layer 2 is made of a waterproof material, which prevents water W1 from wave spray or rainwater from penetrating through the outer layer 2 to the back side (inner surface 2a side) of the outer layer 2. Water W1 that penetrates through the cuffs 10B and moisture W2 from sweat emitted from the skin Ma of the wearer M pass through or bypass the inner layer 3 and reach the intermediate layer 4 between the inner layer 3 and the outer layer 2, where it is absorbed. That is, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent water droplets (water W1) from being absorbed into or adhering to the inner layer 3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent moisture from coming into contact with the skin Ma of the wearer M, and the comfort of the wearer M can be maintained.

[0031] Furthermore, in the fishing wear 1 according to this embodiment, the intermediate layer 4 can be disposed over almost the entire inner surface 2a of the outer layer 2. As a result, moisture (water W1 and humidity W2) that has been partially absorbed or hydrated permeates and diffuses throughout the intermediate layer 4, ensuring a sufficient amount of water absorption in the intermediate layer 4. For example, even if a large amount of water W1 seeps in through the cuffs 10B, the moisture absorbed by the intermediate layer 4 will not become saturated, and the intermediate layer 4 can maintain a sufficient amount of water absorption. In this way, it is possible to prevent the wearer M from being uncomfortably absorbed due to saturation beyond its water absorption capacity, resulting in moisture adhering to the inside of the fishing wear 1 and moisture coming into contact with the wearer M's skin Ma.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the absorbed moisture (water W1 and humidity W2) is diffused throughout the entire mid layer 4, ensuring a sufficient amount of water absorption, eliminating the need to increase the thickness of the mid layer 4 to increase water absorption as in the past. This prevents increases in component costs, eliminates the inconvenience of the wearer M's movement being hindered by an increase in thickness, and maintains the fishing wear 1's comfort when fishing.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inner layer 3 and the intermediate layer 4 are shorter toward the elbow than the outer layer 2 at the tip portions 3c, 4c on the opening end 10a side of the sleeve portion 10, and the intermediate layer 4 is shorter in length than the inner layer 3. In this case, the tip 3c of the inner layer 3 and the tip 4c of the intermediate layer 4 are open, so water W1 that seeps in through this open portion reaches and is absorbed directly by the tip 4c of the intermediate layer 4. That is, for example, water W1 that seeps in through the open end 10a of the cuff 10 is absorbed by the intermediate layer 4 before it seeps in between the inner layer 3 and the skin Ma of the wearer M. This prevents water W1 from seeping in between the inner layer 3 and the skin Ma from the open end 10a, further improving the comfort of the wearer M.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inner layer 3 is made of a waterproof and breathable material. That is, because the inner layer 3 is waterproof, water W1 that has entered through the cuff 10B is blocked by the inner layer 3 and is more likely to reach the tip 4c of the intermediate layer 4. The water W1 that has reached the intermediate layer 4 is then absorbed by the intermediate layer 4. That is, water W1 that has entered through the opening edge 10a is less likely to penetrate between the inner layer 3 and the skin Ma of the wearer M, which more reliably prevents moisture from coming into contact with the skin Ma, thereby maintaining a continuously comfortable state. Furthermore, in this case, since the inner layer 3 is also moisture permeable, moisture W2 emitted from the skin Ma of the wearer M passes through the inner layer 3 and is absorbed by the intermediate layer 4. In other words, the moisture W2 is not absorbed by the inner layer 3 that comes into contact with the skin Ma of the wearer M. This makes it possible to reduce humidity inside the fishing wear 1, improving the environment inside the garment and increasing comfort.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mid layer 4 is continuous in the surface direction from the cuff 10B to the elbow, which reduces the temperature or humidity inside the garment, thereby improving the environment inside the garment.

[0036] The fishing wear 1 according to this embodiment configured as described above can further improve the comfort of the wearer M while maintaining wearability without impeding the functionality of the wear.

[0037] Next, fishing wear according to another embodiment will be described. Note that components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions of these components will be omitted to avoid duplication.

[0038] (Second embodiment) 4, a fishing wear 1A according to a second embodiment is configured such that, in the fishing wear 1 of the first embodiment described above, the tip end 3c of the inner layer 3 is located further from the opening edge 10a than the tip end 4c of the intermediate layer 4. In other words, the tip end 3c of the inner layer 3 is located closer to the elbow than the tip end 4c of the intermediate layer 4. In other words, a second through hole 10c is formed on the opening edge 10a side of the tip end 3c of the inner layer 3, penetrating in the thickness direction and connecting the skin Ma of the wearer M with the inner surface 4a of the intermediate layer 4. The materials of the outer layer 2, inner layer 3, and intermediate layer 4 in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. That is, the outer layer 2 is waterproof, the inner layer is waterproof and breathable, and the intermediate layer 4 is water-absorbent and moisture-absorbent.

[0039] In the fishing wear 1A according to the second embodiment configured as described above, water W1 that seeps in through the opening end 10a passes through the tip 3c of the inner layer 3 on the opening end 10a side, passes through the second through-holes 10c, and reaches the intermediate layer 4, where it is absorbed. In other words, water W1 that seeps in through the opening end 10a of the sleeve portion 10 is absorbed by the intermediate layer 4 before it seeps in between the inner layer 3 and the skin Ma of the wearer M, thereby preventing water W1 from seeping in between the inner layer 3 and the skin Ma from the opening end 10a. In this way, the second embodiment can more reliably prevent moisture from coming into contact with the skin Ma of the wearer M, allowing the wearer M to continuously maintain a comfortable state.

[0040] (Third embodiment) Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a fishing wear 1B according to a third embodiment has a configuration in which the inner layer 3 of the fishing wear 1 of the first embodiment described above is made of a material that is only waterproof. The fabric material of the inner layer 3 is, for example, a waterproof material that is provided with a waterproof film, coating, or the like similar to that of the outer layer 2. In other words, the inner layer 3 is made of a material that does not allow water W1 and moisture W2 (water vapor) to pass through. The materials of the outer layer 2 and the intermediate layer 4 in the third embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. In other words, the outer layer 2 is waterproof, and the intermediate layer 4 is water-absorbent and hygroscopic.

[0041] In the fishing wear 1B according to the third embodiment, the inner layer 3 is only waterproof, so water W1 that seeps in through the open ends 10a of the cuffs 10B is blocked by the inner layer 3 and is more likely to reach the tip ends 4c of the intermediate layer 4. The water W1 that reaches the intermediate layer 4 is then absorbed by the intermediate layer 4. In other words, water W1 that seeps in through the open ends 10a is less likely to seep between the inner layer 3 and the skin Ma of the wearer M, which more reliably prevents moisture from coming into contact with the skin Ma, allowing the wearer M to maintain a continuously comfortable state.

[0042] (Fourth embodiment) 6, the fishing wear 1C according to the fourth embodiment has a configuration in which a large number of holes 31 (through-holes) are provided in a portion (forming region 3A) on the tip end 3c side of the inner layer 3 in the fishing wear 1 of the first embodiment described above. The large number of holes 31 penetrate the inner layer 3 in the thickness direction, providing communication between the skin Ma of the wearer M and the intermediate layer 4.

[0043] The cross-sectional shape, diameter, number, and other configurations of the holes 31 are not particularly limited and can be set arbitrarily. In addition, the formation region 3A where the many holes 31 are arranged, i.e., the distance from the tip 3c of the inner layer 3 toward the elbow, can also be set appropriately. The materials of the outer layer 2, inner layer 3, and intermediate layer 4 in the fourth embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. That is, the outer layer 2 is waterproof, the inner layer 3 is waterproof and breathable, and the intermediate layer 4 is water-absorbent and hygroscopic.

[0044] In the fishing wear 1C according to the fourth embodiment, water W1 that seeps in through the open end 10a of the sleeve portion 10 passes through the numerous holes 31 provided in the forming region 3A on the tip end 3c side of the inner layer 3, reaches the intermediate layer 4, and is absorbed. In other words, the water W1 that seeps in through the open end 10a is absorbed by the intermediate layer 4 before it penetrates between the inner layer 3 and the skin Ma of the wearer M, thereby preventing the water W1 from penetrating between the inner layer 3 and the skin Ma from the open end 10a. In this way, this embodiment can more reliably prevent moisture from coming into contact with the skin Ma, allowing the wearer to continuously maintain a comfortable state.

[0045] (Fifth embodiment) 7, in the fishing wear 1D according to the fifth embodiment, the inner layer 3 and intermediate layer 4 of the fishing wear 1 according to the first embodiment described above are set to the same length as the outer layer 2. In other words, the tip end 3c of the inner layer 3 and the tip end 4c of the intermediate layer 4 are located at the same position as the tip end of the outer layer 2 in the axial direction of the sleeve portion 10, and form the open end 10a of the sleeve portion 10. The materials of the outer layer 2, inner layer 3, and intermediate layer 4 in the fifth embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. That is, the outer layer 2 is waterproof, the inner layer 3 is waterproof and breathable, and the intermediate layer 4 is water-absorbent and hygroscopic.

[0046] In the fishing wear 1D according to the fifth embodiment, the cuffs 10B are brought into close contact with the skin Ma of the wearer M, thereby preventing water W1 from penetrating through the opening end 10a. The water W1 near the opening end 10a is absorbed through the tip 4c of the intermediate layer 4, and the moisture W2 from sweat emitted from the skin Ma of the wearer M passes through the inner layer 3 and reaches the intermediate layer 4 between the inner layer 3 and the outer layer 2, where it is absorbed. In this case, because the inner layer 3 and the intermediate layer 4 are provided over the entire axial direction of the sleeve portion 10, the moisture W2 emitted from the skin Ma passes through the inner layer 3 and is reliably absorbed by the intermediate layer 4. This prevents water droplets (water W1) from being absorbed into or adhering to the inner layer 3. This prevents moisture from coming into contact with the skin Ma of the wearer M, thereby maintaining the comfort of the wearer M.

[0047] Although the embodiments of fishing wear according to the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The embodiments and their modifications include, for example, those that can be easily imagined by a person skilled in the art, those that are substantially the same, and those that are equivalent.

[0048] For example, in the above embodiment, the sleeve portion 10 in the fishing wear 1 is described as an example in which the cuff 10B is the opening end 10a, but this is not limited to the sleeve portion 10, and the applicable object can be the neck portion 13 in the fishing wear 1 that has an opening end, or the bottom of pants instead of the top.

[0049] Furthermore, the three-layer structure consisting of the outer layer 2, inner layer 3, and middle layer 4 of the fishing wear 1 described above may be applied to a portion of the fishing wear 1 near the opening end, or it may be applied to the entire area as in the sleeve portion 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment, or it may be applied to the entire fishing wear 1.
