TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an armband which is attached to an arm portion of clothes such as clothes in a wide range of fields such as events, events, construction sites, and traffic control sites.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional armband is mainly made of a band-shaped and thin soft plastic material, and the surface of the armband is printed with symbols, emblems, characters, symbols, etc. according to the intended use. Is provided, and stoppers for mounting in a tubular shape are provided at both ends. When the user wears the clothes, they are made into a tubular shape with a string, a hook or the like, passed through the upper arm of the clothes such as clothes, and attached to the clothes with a safety pin or the like using the eyelet in the center.

[0003]

However, the conventional armband has the following problems.

(A) Since the armband has a constant length, the user feels uncomfortable because it is tight or loose depending on the thickness of the user's arm or the type of clothing. (B) Since it is attached with a safety pin, clothes Or damage clothes such as shirts,
(C) Attaching with a safety pin is troublesome, and it is easy to damage the arms and fingers, and it is dangerous. (D) Since it is wrapped around the arm exactly, the air permeability between the arm and the armband becomes very poor,
When worn in summer, the arm covered with the armband is sweaty and uncomfortable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an armband which has a simple structure and which can freely change the diameter to be wound depending on the thickness of the arm or the type of clothes. To provide.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an armband which can be easily attached without using a safety pin which damages clothes, is troublesome to handle, and is apt to damage arms and fingers.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an armband in which a sufficient gap is provided between the arm and the armband so as to improve the air permeability, and the arm covered with the armband does not become sweaty and discomfort when worn in summer. is there.

Still other objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.

[0009]

The armband according to the present invention comprises a main body made of a band-shaped thin soft material, and a fixing band made of a stretchable material and substantially shorter and narrower than the main body. The main body is made of a strip of cloth, plastic, or the like, and has a structure such that it can be wound around an arm with an arbitrary diameter by a stopper. The fixed belt is made of elastic knit cloth or mesh rubber band, and is worn in an extended state. The armband according to the present invention is firmly attached to the arm by the contraction force of the fixing belt, but since the contraction force is proportional to the amount of stretching the fixing belt, the fixing belt should be kept as short as possible from the main body and used. Is good.
However, the length of the fixing band required depends on the thickness of the arm and the type of clothing, so one end of the fixing band is fixed and the other end is free, and the length required for wearing is fixed. If you can adjust the height, it will be attached firmly without falling off.

As described above, when the armband of the present invention is wound around the upper arm and then fixed in a tubular shape by the stopper, the armband is firmly attached by the contracting force of the inner fixing band and prevented from slipping off. is doing. At this time, if the fixing band can be adjusted to the required length, it is preferable that the arm is not pressed and the fixing band is firmly attached and prevented from slipping off. Further, if a fixed amount of protrusions is provided on the surface of the fixed belt that comes into contact with clothing of the arm, it becomes difficult to slip and it is very effective in preventing slipping. The protrusions can be easily formed by printing the protrusions with an ink having a foaming property containing vinyl chloride as a main component and heating the ink to fire the protrusions.

In the armband of the present invention, the arm is not exactly covered by the main body, and the air permeability between the arm and the main body is maintained. Although the arm band is directly covered by the fixed band, the knit fabric, which is the material for it, is thin and rough and has excellent breathability, and the contact area with the arm is smaller than that of the main body. Has many defects such as sweating when worn in summer. Further, if the fixing band provided with the protrusions as described above is adopted, the contact area is further reduced, and a great effect can be expected in enhancing the air permeability.
Further, as a measure for air permeability, it is a preferable method to use a mesh type fixing band because the air permeability is further improved.

The armband of the present invention is used by being wrapped around an arm, and a hook, a hook-and-loop fastener or the like is used as a stopper, and the hook-and-loop fastener is most suitable for the armband of the present invention.
