The back body 3 is provided with a belt passing portion 4 whose both ends are strongly sewn to a fabric forming the back body 3, and in a gap formed between the back body 3 and the belt passing portion 4, The structure is such that the seat belt 7 attached to the automobile is inserted. That is, the gap between the rear body 3 and the belt passing portion 4 functions as a connection portion with the seat belt 7.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the reinforcing belt member 5 provided inside the body protection garment 1 as viewed from the front side.
The reinforcing belt member 5 is sewn on the back side of the front body 2 and the back side of the back body 3, and includes a shoulder belt 51 located on both shoulders, a chest belt 52 located on the chest, and a hem. And a hem belt 53 positioned at The reinforcing belt member 5 is provided in order to increase the load-bearing strength as compared with the case where the reinforcing belt member 5 is formed of only the fabric forming the front body 2 and the back body 3. Chest belt 5
2 and the hem belt 53 are divided in the middle of the front, and buckles 52a and 53a are provided at their ends, respectively. When the buckle 52a or 53a fastens the chest belt 52 or the hem belt 53, the wearer's Can be fitted to the body.

The above-mentioned body-protecting garment 1 is provided with shock absorbing means on the shoulders on both sides and the belt pass-through portion 4 in order to absorb the impact when the automobile collides. That is, as the first shock absorbing means, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the front body 2 and the back body 3
And the shoulder belt 51 constituting the reinforcing belt member 5 are folded together, and the folded portion A is vertically moved between the neckline 1a and the sleevehole 1c of the region A. Are sewn by a sewing machine using sewing thread 6a so that four stitching lines 61 to 64 are formed in parallel.

As the second shock absorbing means, FIG.
(A) and (b), as shown in FIG.
Both ends of the fabric forming the back body 3 are firmly sewn, and the strong sewn portions (fixed portions)
Sewing is performed using a sewing thread 6a by a sewing machine so that three sewing lines 65 to 67 are formed adjacent to B and B in parallel in the vertical direction.

In the first and second shock absorbing means, the number of stitches formed can be changed as appropriate, and the greater the number, the higher the shock absorbing power. The material of the sewing thread 6a forming the suture line is not limited, and those made of natural fibers or synthetic fibers can be used. Also, the sewing thread 6a
Is required to be released by a predetermined or more impact in order to absorb the impact, and the sewing means having a sewing strength smaller than the sewing strength when the reinforcing belt member 5 is attached to the bodies 2, 3 It is sewn on the belt member 5.

Body protection clothing 1 sewn as described above
Is connected by inserting the seat belt 7 attached to the vehicle into a gap (connection portion) formed between the fabric forming the back body 3 and the belt passing portion 4, which is worn by a person riding in the vehicle. And used.

During normal use, the upper body of the wearer has a certain degree of connection because the connection of the body protection garment 1 located near the waist of the wearer is only connected to the seat belt. It has a degree of freedom. Therefore, there is no physical constraint as in the case where the upper body is restrained by the seat belt of a car or a child seat.

[0020] When a car collides, the first
With the second shock absorbing means, the shock can be reduced and the upper body of the wearer can be held so as not to protrude forward. That is, due to the collision of the automobile, the wearer sitting on the seat tends to jump forward with its upper body in a forward leaning posture. At this time, the belt passing portion 4 is pulled backward by the seat belt 7 of the automobile as the upper body of the wearer tries to jump forward (see FIG. 5A). Then, due to the load generated at this time, the sewing thread that forms three sewing lines 65 to 67 arranged in parallel in the vertical direction adjacent to the strong sewing portions B, B of the belt passing portion 4 respectively. 6a are broken one after another, and the suture lines 65 to 67 are released in order from the one located inside (see FIG. 5 (b)), thereby absorbing the shock and giving the shock to the wearer's body. Can be alleviated.

At the same time as or before or after the operation of the second shock absorbing means, the first shock absorbing means operates. That is, the folded portion A located on the shoulders on both sides receives a load as the upper body of the wearer tries to jump forward, and as a result, the four stitches arranged in parallel at the portion A The sewing threads 6a forming the lines 61 to 64 break one after another, and the suture lines 61 to 64
It is unraveled in order from the one located on the side (see FIG. 6A). Then, finally, the folded portion A is unfolded (see FIG. 6B). Since the impact is also absorbed by this action, the impact given to the wearer's body can be further reduced by the interaction with the second impact absorbing means described above.

In the above description, the reinforcing belt member 5 is fixed to the back side of the front body 2 and the back body 3, but it is needless to say that the reinforcing belt member 5 can be fixed to the front side. Further, the configuration of the reinforcing belt member 5 is not limited at all. Further, a mesh portion for ventilation can be formed at an appropriate position on the front body 2 or the back body 3.
Furthermore, both ends of the belt passing portion 4 do not necessarily have to be fixed to the fabric forming the back body 3. For example, the chest belt 52 and the hem belt 53 constituting the reinforcing belt member 5 include the front body 2 and the hem belt 53. When fixed to the front side of the back body 3, both ends of the belt passing portion 4 may be fixed to the chest belt 52 and the hem belt 53, respectively.
