Various problems are required of the coolant when the coolant is mounted as described above.
For example, if the coolant directly touches the wearer's body, there is a risk of local or whole body being overcooled, so it is necessary to perform appropriate temperature adjustment. Also, while long cooling duration is desired, it is thin and light, and
Freezing time is required as short as possible.

Further, if not only the body of the wearer and the lower side of the armpit but also the rear part of the neck through which the artery is passed can be cooled, a more effective cooling action can be obtained.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to make clothes having a cooling function using a coolant more comfortable and more convenient.
Specifically, the purpose is to ensure that the temperature is appropriately adjusted when mounting the coolant. Further, it is intended to prolong the cooling duration, reduce the weight and thickness, and shorten the freezing time as much as possible. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to allow the wearer's neck to be comfortably cooled.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of a garment having a cooling function, a cooling material, and a method of using the same according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a garment having a cooling function according to this embodiment. FIG. 1A is a front perspective view of a garment, FIG. 1B is a rear perspective view, and FIG. 1C is a diagram showing a pair of shift prevention belts 12 prepared as options. Further, FIG. 2 shows a state in which the clothes having the cooling function of the present embodiment are spread. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a garment having a cooling function according to the present embodiment includes a vest-type garment body 1 and a standing collar 2 that is detachable from the garment body 1.

The garment body 1 comprises left and right front cloths 101R and 101L for covering the front side (chest side) of the wearer and a rear cloth 102 for covering the rear side (back side) of the wearer.
The left and right front cloths 101R and 101L are attached and detached by opening and closing with the fastener 3. As a material for the front cloths 101R and 101L and the rear cloth 102, a nylon mesh material is adopted to ensure air permeability, and its ends are subjected to piping cleaning. The mesh pattern is omitted in FIGS.

The back cloth 102 is cut so as to cover the wearer's shoulders and back. Also, the left and right front cloths 10
1R and 101L are cut so as to cover from the shoulder of the wearer to the lower part of the chest and to form a protruding portion 103 that laterally protrudes so as to cover the lower part of the armpit (armpit). Then, the left and right front cloths 101R and 101L and the rear cloth 102 are sewn at the site corresponding to the shoulder of the wearer.

Here, normally, the left and right front cloths 101R and 101L and the rear cloth 102 are sewn at a portion corresponding to the lower side of the wearer's armpit, but the sewing is not performed at that portion. . The left and right front cloths 101R and 101L and the rear cloth 102 are connected to each other via the adjuster belt 4 at a portion corresponding to the lower side of the side where the sewing is not performed.

The body 1 of the garment has a short body length, and the lower end of the body 1 of the garment is located above the hip bone of the wearer as shown in FIG. This is because a belt, a so-called safety belt, is often wound around the wearer's hip bone position for hanging a tool case for storing tools and hooking a lifeline, so as not to interfere with this safety belt. Is.

In such a garment body 1, four storage pockets 6 arranged vertically and horizontally are provided in a portion corresponding to the wearer's back, that is, inside the rear cloth 102. In addition, on the part corresponding to the lower side of the wearer's armpit, that is, on the inside of the protrusions 103 of the left and right front cloths 101R and 101L,
One storage pocket 7 is provided for each. These storage pockets 6 and 7 are for storing a coolant 9 which will be described later in a removable manner. A velcro or the like is provided to allow the openings of the storage pockets 6 and 7 to be opened and closed and to prevent the coolant 9 from falling off.

The standing collar 2 is attachable to and detachable from the garment body 1 via the fastener 5. By making the standing collar 2 detachable in this way, it is possible to remove the standing collar 2 when it is not needed, and it is possible to wash only the collar that is particularly easily soiled. As the material of the standing collar 2, if the same material as the garment body 1 is made of nylon mesh material, the skin will be rubbed, so in consideration of the feel and the ease of washing, a cotton blended material,
Specifically, twill material (twill weave material) is used.

The standing collar 2 has a longer length on the lower side provided with the fasteners 5 than on the upper side, and is shaped and cut so as to have a smooth trapezoidal shape when unfolded. Then, two twill materials cut into a trapezoidal shape are overlapped and sewn while finishing the end piping, and the fastener 5 is attached at the same time. When the standing collar 2 thus configured is attached to the garment body 1 via the fastener 5, a sufficient height is secured at the rear part of the wearer's neck, and direct sunlight and the like can be sufficiently prevented, while the neck Since the height is low on the side, it does not interfere with moving the neck.

Moreover, the above-mentioned sewing is made to have an appropriate rigidity while making the best use of the feel of the twill material, and by making the lower side of the standing collar 2 long, the rear cloth 102
Not only that, a long attachment length up to the right and left front cloths 101R and 101L can be secured, and the standing collar 2 can be firmly stood even when a cooling material is attached to the standing collar 2 as described later. Can be maintained in a state.

In the standing collar 2, two storage pockets 8 arranged side by side are provided at a portion corresponding to the rear portion of the wearer's neck, that is, a portion near the center of the inside of the standing collar 2. The storage pocket 8 is for storing a coolant, which will be described later, in a removable manner. In addition, storage pocket 8
For the same purpose as the storage pockets 6 and 7, a velcro or the like is provided.

Next, the cooling material 9 that can be stored in the storage pockets 6 and 7 of the garment body 1 in a removable manner will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the cooling material 9 has a generally thick plate shape as a whole, and as shown in FIG. 4, a water-based gel heat storage material 901 is covered with a protective film 902. A heat insulating plate material 904 arranged only on one side of the heat storage material 903 is enclosed in a bag body 905, and the entire peripheral edge portion of the bag body 905 is sealed.

The heat storage material 903 is a water-based gel heat storage material 90 containing water, ethylene glycol, a super absorbent resin, an antibacterial agent, and the like.
1 is covered with a protective film 902. The water-based gel heat storage material 901 is usually in the form of gel, but when frozen, the physical phase changes to a solid state and exhibits a cold insulation function.

The heat insulating plate member 904 is made of expanded polyethylene in a plate shape and has cushioning properties and heat insulating properties. The heat insulating property of the heat insulating plate member 904 is adjusted so that the low temperature of the frozen water-based gel heat storage material 901 is in a state where the wearer feels an appropriate temperature on the surface of the cooling material 9 (the surface of the bag body 905). Is to
It is sufficient to have a heat transfer adjusting function so that the heat transfer is weaker than the heat transfer.

The bag body 905 is made of an insulating and abrasion resistant material such as two EVA (ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer) sheets having a certain elasticity, and the whole peripheral edge portion is welded and hermetically sealed. Is. The bag body 905 protects the heat storage material 903 including the water-based gel heat storage body 901, and also the water-based gel heat storage body 9
Even when 01 is soft, the coolant 9 is held so as to have a substantially plate shape. Further, since the thin welded portion 906 is provided on the entire peripheral edge portion, it is possible to prevent the coolant 9 in a soft state from standing up. With this, even when the soft coolant 9 is thrown into the freezer for cooling, it is kept in a lying state, and it is prevented from freezing in an upright shape and a part thereof being sharpened. You can

As shown in FIG. 5, the coolant 9 is attached to the garment body 1.
It is stored in the storage pockets 6 and 7 of the above. At this time, the surface 905a on which the heat insulating plate member 904 is located faces the wearer's body side. Surface of the coolant 9 (bag 905
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, on the surface), a character, a figure, which is displayed so as not to make a mistake in the direction in which it is stored in the storage pockets 6 and 7, that is, which side faces the body side.
Print the color etc. In this embodiment, character strings are diagonally printed at appropriate intervals on the EVA sheet forming the bag body 905.

A plate-shaped heat insulating pad 10 is also housed together with the coolant 9. At this time, the heat insulating pad 10 is positioned on the outer side and the coolant 9 is positioned on the wearer's body side. The heat-insulating pad 10 is made of foamed polyethylene or the like in a plate shape like the heat-insulating plate member 904 in the coolant 9, but is subjected to abrasion resistance treatment or the like because it comes into direct contact with the nylon mesh material of the garment body 1. It is desirable to keep it. The heat insulation pad 10 is for making it difficult to transfer the heat of the outside (high temperature environment) to the coolant 9, and maintains the frozen state (cooling duration) of the water-based gel heat storage body 901 for a long time even in a high temperature environment. To do.

Here, in order to further lengthen the cooling duration, as shown in FIG. 6, the pocket 6 of the garment body 1,
It is possible to store not only one cooling medium 9 but also two cooling mediums 7. When two sheets of the cooling material 9 are stored, the surfaces without the heat insulating plate material 904 are overlapped with each other, in other words, the surface 905a with the heat insulating plate material 904 (print surface).
Are respectively faced to the wearer's body side and the wearer's non-body side, that is, the outside, and are superposed. In this way the coolant 9
By storing two sheets, the amount of the water-based gel heat storage material 901 is doubled, and the heat storage materials 903 are directly connected to each other (EV
Since they cool each other adjacently (via only the A sheet), the cooling duration can be approximately doubled compared to the case where there is only one coolant 9.

The inventors confirmed the effect by making a plurality of the coolant 9 having the constitution of the present invention so that the water-based gel heat storage material 901 weighs 125 g and performing the following two kinds of tests.

First, as a first test, a sufficiently frozen coolant 9 is prepared, and one or two sheets are stored in the storage pocket 6 of the garment body 1 of the present invention by the above method. . Then, in a constant temperature environment of room temperature 35 ° C., vertical 4
It has a flat surface of 00 mm and a width of 300 mm, and the height is 80 mm with the tip bent inward by about 20 mm from two sides of 300 mm.
A base having a substantially U-shaped cross section, which is made of aluminum having a thickness of 1 mm and having two legs, is placed and placed so that the wearer side of the garment body 1 is in contact with the base.
The temperature at the center of the surface of the protective film 902 on the 4th side was counted from 5 ° C., and the time during which the latent heat state continued was measured as the constant cooling time. As a result, when one piece was stored in each of the pockets 6 and 7, 120 to 170 minutes, and when two pieces were stored, performance of a constant cooling time of about 240 minutes was exhibited. As a reference, the result of performing the test with the same specifications (conventional product, one cooling material) except that there is no heat insulating pad 10 and heat insulating plate material 904 is:
It was about 40-60 minutes. As is clear from this result, the cooling performance of the cooling material 9 of the present invention and the garment body 1 using the cooling material can be maintained for a longer period of time as compared with the conventional products in a bench test.

Then, a second test was conducted under conditions close to actual use. The garment body 1 in which the wearer who is the subject stores the two coolants 9 in the first test in each storage pocket.
Wear on a normal work clothes in a constant temperature environment of room temperature 35 ° C (wear safety shoes and protective helmet), and exercise.
The time when the difference between the temperature of the back surface and the temperature of the center of the back surface of the coolant was 5 ° C or more was measured. The inventors have confirmed from experience that, if there is a temperature difference of 5 ° C. or more between the cooled object and the wearer, the feeling of cooling can be continuously felt.
The time during which the temperature difference can be maintained was set. In addition, the exercise is performed with the above-mentioned wear using an exercise bike (manufactured by Hata Sports Equipment Co., Ltd., model: LM-1950) at 60 kcal /
The exercise bike was cycled for 20 minutes so that the energy consumption was 10 minutes, and the sitting cycle was repeated for 10 minutes. As a result, according to the specifications of the present invention, about 180-2
A temperature difference of 5 ° C. could be maintained over 00 minutes.
As a reference, when the same test was performed using the conventional coolant of the first test, a temperature difference of 5 ° C. was maintained for about 150 to 180 minutes.

As is clear from these results, the cooling material 9 of the present invention and the garment body 1 using the same can maintain a cooling performance higher than that of conventional products even under conditions suitable for actual use.
As one usage example, the frozen coolant 9 is stored in a cooler box and brought to the site, and if it is desired to be lightweight during work, one coolant is stored in each pocket 6 and 7. If it is desired to reduce the number of times the coolant 9 is replaced, it is sufficient to store two coolants in each of the pockets 6 and 7 and use them properly.

Next, the coolant that can be stored in the standing collar 2 in a removable manner will be described. Although not shown, the coolant 9
Similar to the above, it has a substantially plate shape, and a heat storage material obtained by coating a water-based gel heat storage body with a protective film is enclosed in a bag body obtained by welding and sealing the entire peripheral portions of two EVA sheets. .

However, since the garment body 1 has a high degree of close contact with the body, the standing collar 2 tends to be away from the neck, so that the cooling material attached to the standing collar 2 is a heat insulating plate for temperature adjustment. The material 904 is not provided. Further, in the cooling material attached to the standing collar 2, a heat insulating material corresponding to the heat insulating pad 10 is provided in the bag body. The coolant attached to the standing collar 2 is smaller in size than the coolant 9 attached to the garment body 1.

Next, a method of wearing clothes having a cooling function according to this embodiment will be described. With the coolant 9 stored in the pockets 6 and 7 as described above, as shown in FIG.
While tightening, pull the adjuster belt 4 and adjust the garment body 1 to fit around the body. If necessary, keep the standing collar 2 on and keep the standing collar 2 in the pocket 8
Also store the coolant.

Here, as shown in FIG. 1, dot buttons 11 are attached to both sides of the front of the garment body 1 (below the adjuster belt 4) with the fastener 3 interposed therebetween. Further, as shown in FIG. 1C, a pair of shift prevention belts 12 is prepared as an option. Each shift prevention belt 12 includes a band 14 that is bent and sewn so that an annular portion 13 is formed, and an engagement member 15 that forms an opening in the annular portion 13 and that closes the opening. ,
The dot button 16 fitted to the dot button 11 on the clothing main body 1 side is provided.

Since the cooling material 9 is attached to the back portion of the garment body 1, the garment body 1 may be displaced to the back side during wearing due to its weight. If the deviation is a concern, fit the dot button 16 of the deviation prevention belt 12 to the dot button 11 of the garment body 1 side,
The engagement member 15 is engaged with the wearer's belt 17 (see FIG. 7) passed through the annular portion 13. As a result, the lower part of the front surface of the garment body 1 is supported by the wearer's belt 17 via the deviation prevention belt 12, so that the garment body 1 can be prevented from shifting to the back side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a rubber cord 18 is inserted along the upper side of the standing collar 2 and both ends thereof have a substantially trapezoidal shape.
The upper end of the standing collar is extended obliquely downward at a midpoint in the up-down direction along the both edges (downward inclined portion). Since the elastic cords 18 are drawn out so as to curve downward at both end positions of the standing collar 2 as described above, even if the elastic cords are tightened, the neck of the wearer is not touched more than necessary and discomfort is given. Nor. The elastic cord 18 may be inserted laterally at an appropriate height position instead of the upper side of the standing collar 2, but when the elastic cord is near the lower side of the standing collar 1, the cooling material 9 is attached. Since the standing collar 2 may warp backward when not performing or when the cooling material 9 becomes soft, the position where the rubber cord 18 is inserted is close to the upper side of the standing collar 2, preferably along the upper side. It is desirable to arrange them.

Stoppers 19 are provided at both ends of the rubber cord 18. As shown in FIG. 8, the stopper 19 includes a resin case 19a having a cylindrical shape and a button 19b provided on the resin case 19a, and a rubber cord 18 is provided in a through hole 19c formed on the side of the resin case 19a. It is configured to pass through. In the normal state, although not specifically shown, the stopper member locks the rubber cord by the spring in the resin case 19a, and the relative movement of the stopper 19 and the rubber cord 18 is restricted. Button 19
When b is pressed, the stopper member is separated from the rubber cord 18 and the stopper 19 and the rubber cord 18 can move relative to each other.

On the other hand, above the front surface of the garment body 1, on both sides with the fastener 3 sandwiched, more specifically, a cord body 20 formed into a loop on a substantially extended line in the direction of pulling out the rubber cord 18 from the standing collar 2. Is fixed. The size of the loop of the cord 20 is such that the stopper 19 can be passed through by making it vertical, but it cannot pass through when the stopper 19 is placed horizontally. It is in a passed state (the stopper 19 is located below the cord 20).

When adjusting the degree of close contact of the standing collar 2 with the neck,
Stopper 1 with stopper 19 adjacent to string 20
The rubber string 18 is pulled out or returned while pressing the button 19b of 9. Then, when the contact state becomes appropriate, the button 19b is released to regulate the relative movement of the stopper 19 and the rubber cord 18. In this state, the stopper 19 is locked to the cord body 20 and the rubber cord 18 is pulled, so that the standing collar 2 can be brought into close contact with the rear part of the wearer's neck, and leakage of cold air or hot air can be prevented. Intrusion can be reduced. That is, the stopper 19 and the loop-shaped cord body 20 correspond to the holding mechanism in the present invention. It should be noted that when the wearer bends his / her neck backward during the work, the elastic cord 18 extends so that the operation thereof is not hindered. Further, even if the neck is bent backward and then returned to the front, the standing collar 2 follows the movement of the neck due to the holding mechanism. Further, since the elastic cord 18 as described above is arranged along the chest without crossing the fastener 3 in a direction substantially parallel to the fastener 3, the neck (near the carotid artery) is not unnecessarily pressed. Further, since the distance between the standing collar 2 and the cord 20 may be relatively short, the cord does not interfere with the work.

Not only the garment body 1 (nylon mesh) and the standing collar 2 (cotton blend twill) but also all materials do not use metal. For example, resin materials are used for the members (dot buttons 11, 16 and the like) used for the fasteners 3, 5, the adjuster belt 4, the deviation prevention belt 12, and the like. This is to ensure safety when performing electrical work such as power distribution work. In addition, the garment body 1
It is possible to use rubber or the like, which is an insulating material, as the material, but it is preferable to use a nylon mesh material as in the present embodiment because it obstructs body temperature regulation due to perspiration. Further, by using the nylon mesh material for the garment body 1, not only the drying time after washing can be shortened but also the weight of the garment body 1 itself can be reduced, and the feeling of fatigue when wearing clothing having a cooling function. Can be kept to a minimum.

In the clothes and the cooling material having the cooling function of the present embodiment described above, the cooling material 9 includes the heat storage material 903 in the bag body 905 and the heat insulating plate material 904 arranged on one side of the heat storage material 903. Since the surface 905a on which the heat insulating plate member 904 is provided faces the wearer's body, the low temperature of the frozen water-based gel heat storage body 901 is appropriately set on the surface of the cooling material 903 (the surface of the bag body 905). The temperature of the wearer can be adjusted so that the wearer's body is not directly cooled, and supercooling can be prevented. Further, since the heat insulating plate member 904 is built in the bag body 905 of the cooling material 9 and the heat insulating plate member 904 is already in a cooled state at the time of use, immediate effect of the cooling function immediately after wearing is expected. It

Moreover, since the heat insulating plate member 904 is used, a uniform temperature can be obtained on the surface of the coolant 9. For example, a large number of particles are provided on one side of the heat storage material 903 to secure an air layer that serves as a heat insulating layer between the particles, or a bubble chamber is provided to secure an air layer that serves as a heat insulating layer. However, in this case, the thickness of the heat insulating layer becomes uneven, and the temperature adjustment varies, so that a uniform temperature cannot be obtained on the surface of the coolant 9. In particular, since the cooling material 9 is accommodated in the pockets 6 and 7 of the garment body 1 in a vertically oriented state, the thickness unevenness becomes large in the air layer and the like, whereas the solid heat insulating plate material 904 is used. By using it, a uniform temperature can be obtained even in a standing state. Further, the heat insulating plate member 904 also has a function of holding the coolant 9 in a substantially plate shape even when the water-based gel heat storage body 901 is soft.

Further, in the clothes and the cooling material having the cooling function of the present embodiment, the pockets 6 and 7 of the clothes body 1 are provided.
Since the plate-shaped heat insulating pad 10 is also housed together with the coolant 9, the heat from the outside (high temperature environment) is absorbed by the coolant 9.
It is possible to prevent the water-based gel heat storage material 901 from being frozen, and the frozen state of the water-based gel heat storage material 901 can be maintained for a long time.

Here, it is possible to enclose the heat insulating pad 10 in the bag body 905 of the coolant 9 in advance. However, as the cooling material 9 becomes thicker, the heat insulating plate material 9 is provided on both sides of the water-based gel heat storage material 901 in the bag body 905.
04 and the heat insulating pad 10 are present, and the freezing time for freezing the water-based gel heat storage body 901 becomes long. In addition, in the bag body 905, the water-based gel heat storage body 901
Insulating plate material 904 and insulating pad 10 on both sides across
Therefore, when two cooling materials 9 are superposed on each other, a heat insulating material is interposed between the heat storage materials 903, which makes it impossible to use the two superposed materials as described in the present embodiment. .

On the other hand, it is possible to sew the heat insulating pad 10 to the pockets 6 and 7 in advance. However,
When the clothes main body 1 is washed, the heat insulating pad 10 may be damaged.

On the other hand, if the heat insulating pad 10 is formed as a separate member and is housed in the pockets 6 and 7 together with the coolant 9 as in the present embodiment, the coolant 9 can be made thin and the bag body can be made. Since the heat insulating plate member 904 exists only on one side of the water-based gel heat storage material 901 in 905, the freezing time for freezing the water-based gel heat storage material 901 does not become long. It is also possible to use two coolants 9 that are superposed on each other.

When the clothes body 1 is washed, the heat insulating pad 10 may be taken out from the pockets 6 and 7, so that the heat insulating pad 10 can be prevented from being damaged. It is not necessary to take out the heat insulating pad 10 from the pockets 6 and 7 each time, and it is sufficient to take it out only when the clothes body 1 is washed. On the other hand, the cooling material 9 is taken out every time and frozen and used repeatedly. The pad 10 is hard to remove from the pockets 6 and 7, and the coolant 9 is easy to remove from the pockets 6 and 7. For example, if the size of the heat insulating pad 10 is set to be substantially the same as that of the pockets 6 and 7, the size of the coolant 9 is made smaller than that of the pockets 6 and 7, and the garment body 1 is turned upside down. Pad 10 has pockets 6 and 7
Only the coolant 9 may be dropped while remaining inside.

It should be noted that the shapes and structures of the respective parts shown in the above-mentioned embodiments are merely examples of embodying the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is thereby provided. It should not be construed as limiting. That is, the present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit or the main features thereof. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the coolant 9 is arranged at a site corresponding to the wearer's back or armpit, but the position is not limited. However, by disposing the cooling material 9 in a region other than the region corresponding to the wearer's chest, it is possible to prevent the heart from being cooled and prevent a situation such as feeling unwell.

According to the present invention, since the coolant is stored in the pocket so that the surface having the heat insulating plate faces the wearer's body, the low temperature of the frozen gel heat storage body can be maintained at the surface of the coolant ( The temperature can be adjusted to an appropriate temperature on the surface of the bag body, and it is possible to avoid directly cooling the body of the wearer, prevent overcooling, and make the wearer more comfortable. Further, since the heat insulating plate material is built in the bag of the cooling material and the heat insulating plate material is also in a cooled state at the time of use, immediate effect of the cooling function is expected. Moreover, since the heat insulating plate material is used, even if the heat insulating plate material is stored in a vertical state in the pocket, it is possible to avoid a variation in temperature adjustment and obtain a uniform temperature on the surface of the coolant.

Further, by storing the plate-shaped heat insulating pad together with the cooling material in the pocket, it is possible to make it difficult to transfer the heat of the outside (high temperature environment) to the cooling material, and to maintain the frozen state of the gel heat storage body for a long time. be able to. Moreover, since the heat insulating pad is a separate member and is stored together with the cooling material in the pocket, the cooling material is made thinner, and since the heat insulating plate material is only present on one side of the gel heat storage material in the bag body, The freezing time for freezing does not become long. It is also possible to use two coolants in a stacked manner.

Further, according to the present invention, since the garment body and the standing collar are provided, and the pockets for storing the cooling material are provided in both of them, the wearer's neck can be cooled,
Moreover, the main body of the garment is made of a mesh material having excellent breathability, while the standing collar is made of a cotton-blend material that is comfortable against the skin rather than a mesh material that is easily rubbed against the skin, so that it can be made more comfortable.
