Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rain gear such as a raincoat or a synthetic feather that covers the entire body to prevent the body from getting wet from rain or snow. When not in use, it can be folded compactly and easily used for a bag or the like. The present invention relates to a rain gear that can be worn and carried, and that also has the function of a floating wheel that plays the role of rescue and rescue in the event of a water accident.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a tool for protecting the rain from covering the whole body, a feather and a raincoat have been widely used. Unlike an umbrella, both hands can be used freely and workability is not impaired, so it is very convenient for people who work outdoors.

In particular, for children who are not fully developed, such as elementary school children, have various teaching materials such as learning tools that are packed into a large school bag for a small body and calligraphy tools that do not fit in the school bag. Going back and forth between school and home is very hard work.

Nevertheless, the use of an umbrella that blocks one hand in the event of rain makes the walking of children unstable and protects them with their hands in the event of a sudden accident while going to or from school. You can't do that, and you'll end up injuring yourself. Further, the use of an umbrella may reduce the field of view, which is very dangerous from the driver's side, and may be a factor in inducing an accident.

From this point of view, wearing clothes and covering the whole body,
Raincoats such as raincoats that can be used with both hands freely are very useful because they allow free movement and do not block the view like an umbrella. In addition, recently, many products such as those that are water repellent and waterproof, those that are rich in breathability, cold and heat retention due to the improvement of the material quality, and those that are excellent in terms of functionality and design have been commercialized. ing.

Further, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-70618 discloses a device in which a rain bag storage bag is provided on a side surface of a school bag. By providing rain gear to the school bag, it is possible to handle sudden rain.

Further, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-192028,
A rain gear is connected to the lower part of the backpack so that it can be stored. When necessary, the rain gear can be pulled out from the storage part, unfolded, and worn, and the bag becomes the inside of the rain gear so that the bag as well as the body can be avoided from rain.

[0008]

As described above, a rain gear that can be widely used by adults and children and that covers the entire body and can be used by both hands freely, such as a raincoat that covers the entire body, is very useful. However, you can't deny the troublesomeness of undressing and undressing by unfolding and unfolding after each use.

Further, since it is inconvenient to carry unless folded to a certain extent, it is the same as folding a large coat each time it is used, and folding a wet and cold rain coat into a small size is very troublesome work. And it is not uncommon to roll it into a bag and push it into the bag.

[0010] If it is left wet, it may become moldy and smell moldy. If it is not dry and it is messy in the wet state, it will not feel like using it again. It's no wonder.

In particular, there are many small children who cannot satisfactorily fold their own clothes, and folding the raincoat in a small and compact manner is a very pitiful task for such children. If it cannot be folded and stored, it will lead to giving up carrying around, and it is a great pity that such useful rain gear is not used due to such a vicious circle.

Further, in the above-mentioned No. Kaikai 6-70618, in order to store rain gear, it is necessary to first provide a rain gear storage portion. For a school bag that has already been purchased, a rain gear storage portion should be provided later. There is a problem in that a school bag provided with a storage section must be newly purchased.

Most elementary school students use one school bag 6
Considering the fact that it will not be used for a year, buying a new school bag that has a rain gear storage is a way of thinking of the disposable era. It is completely different from the spirit of treating it with attachment. Also, it is difficult to judge from the appearance whether rain gear is stored in the rain gear storage section,
There are also problems such as forgetting to put in rain gear.

Further, in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-192028, both the rain wearer and the bag can be avoided from the rain, but there is a problem that it can be used only with a bag of a type fixed to the body of the rain wearer. is there.

In this case, the use of the rain gear is limited depending on the bag to be used, and the useful range of the rain gear that is useful is narrowed. Also, in order to wear it with the bag on its back, deploy the rain gear from the back side,
Searching for the opening by groping, wearing from the head, and wearing through both hands, it becomes a difficult operation even for adults,
It can hardly be worn by children.

Under heavy rain conditions, it is expected that catastrophic events will occur, such as flooding of rivers and breakwaters of breakwaters. In the event of a sudden water accident, a rescue tool should be provided in advance. It is almost impossible to stay.

A rain gear such as a raincoat that is worn over the entire body enables stable walking even in bad weather such as rain or snow, which is the same as in fine weather, and is very convenient to protect yourself from rain and snow. It also becomes clothes.

However, if the rain gear that had a great effect on land entered the water with clothes on, it would be a terrifying tool that deprives the body of freedom in the water and increases the risk of death. Also becomes. Especially, the river is a good playground for playful children, and therefore, many tragic water accidents occur every year.

A school bag and a bag having the function of such a rescue equipment have not been developed yet.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and in particular, it can be used even in the case of sudden rain or snow, has excellent storability and portability, is easy to wear, and is easy to wear in a water accident. In case of emergency, it is an issue to provide rain gear that can be expected to be effective in rescue and rescue.

[0021]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a holding means by a hook-and-loop fastener for keeping the rain gear folded, and a mounting for mounting the rain gear on the lid of the bag. Means are provided.

The holding means may be any one as long as it can hold the rain gear so that it cannot be easily deployed from the folded state by using a surface fastener. For example, the rain gear can be folded in a compact state. It may be fixed with Velcro (registered trademark) or the like so as not to be developed.

Also, the mounting means for mounting the rain gear on the lid of the bag can be mounted on the lid of the bag so that the rain gear does not come off when the bag is opened or closed. Any method may be used, such as fastening with a belt for fixation, fastening with a button, or fastening with a string or the like.

[0024] Further, if it is attached so that it can be seen from the appearance that it is attached to the bag lid, it is convenient not to forget the rain gear accidentally, and especially for children, it is very important not to forget things in school life. This is an important issue, so you can rest assured that you will not forget it if you intend to wear rain gear.

The present invention also provides, as the mounting means,
It is characterized in that a bag body is provided for covering and mounting the bag lid.

The bag body is designed such that the rain gear can be easily attached to the bag lid by inserting the bag lid into the bag body through the opening of the bag body. The bag body has, for example, a bag shape. It's the same size as the lid and fits snugly on the lid of the bag.

The gas may be injected by breathing one's own breath, or a small portable compression cylinder or a gas generating agent may be provided in advance.

Further, if an airtight tube is provided in the opening provided in substantially the center of the rain gear described above, it is possible to inject the gas and to close the neck by eliminating an extra gap at the neck. , It is possible to prevent water from entering through the opening and keep the head exposed from the opening above the water surface. Even if you fall asleep while clinging to a clinger, you will not slip through the rain gear in a floating state and sink into the water, and water will not get into the rain gear in a floating state, so you can prevent drowning.

It is possible that the rain wearer falls into the water with the backpack on his back, but in that case, he can move freely from his neck to the bottom, so he can easily take off his backpack and drown. Can be eliminated by one's own power.

Furthermore, by injecting gas into the airtight tube portion without wearing rain gear, it can be used as a small boat and can be widely used as a rescue tool.

Further, the present invention is provided with means for injecting gas into the airtight tube portion of the outer periphery of the rain gear and an intrusion water detection sensor for detecting water invading the inside of the rain gear. When the sensor senses water, the gas injecting means is activated to fill the gas into the airtight tube portion.

The intruding water detection sensor may be any sensor that operates when water enters the inside of the rain gear. For example, a sensor that conducts a switch operation by conducting electricity when wet with water is used. It may be provided on the bag side portion of the bag body, which is the above-mentioned mounting means, so that rain does not enter.
It does not work under normal rain, but will work when the bag is immersed in water.

The gas injecting means may be any as long as it can inject gas into the airtight tube portion by the operation of the intrusion water detecting sensor. For example, a portable compressed air cylinder equipped with an electromagnetic valve that opens by the operation of the intrusion water detection sensor, or the operation of the intrusion water detection sensor,
An inflator (gas generator) that ignites may be used.
The inflator can use a gas generating agent used for an airbag device of an automobile.

The present invention is also characterized in that characters or pictures for rescue / rescue are displayed on the surface of the rain gear.

The rescue / rescue characters or pictures are means for displaying the intention of requesting rescue when the rain gear is used as a floating wheel or a small boat due to a water accident or the like, and can be visually viewed from a distance such as the sky. As long as it is conspicuous, it may be a letter or a picture or color. The entire surface of the rain gear in which rescue letters such as SOS are spread may be painted in a primary color such as yellow.

Further, if a reflective film is applied, even if it is simply used as a rain gear, it can be easily found from a distance, even on a dark night road, and therefore it can be expected to prevent a traffic accident or the like.
