[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional example described above, in order to utilize the so-called pulley principle, in a normal walking posture in which the shoulder belt is folded vertically, the weight burden on the shoulder and the palm is equal, and when it is desired to change the burden ratio. The horizontal distance between the shoulder and the handle of the palm must be changed, that is, the palm must be lifted away from the body at a position biased to either the shoulder or the palm, making it more difficult to carry.
[0006]
In addition, in the above-described conventional example, since the entire grip needs to be inserted into the loop of the handle when used, if the grip is formed in a large easy-to-grip shape, the loop of the handle cannot be used for small baggage. Disadvantage.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and can easily distribute the weight burden of baggage between a palm and a predetermined part of a body other than the palm at an arbitrary ratio. The purpose is to provide assistive devices.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the invention, the object is
A hanging portion 2 is connected to a hook portion 1 having a substantially U-shaped cross section opened upward,
A hand luggage carrying aid capable of distributing the weight of the luggage whose handle is locked to the grip 1 to the palm supporting the grip 1 and a predetermined part of the body to which the hanging unit 2 is connected. Achieved by providing.
[0009]
According to the present invention, the baggage carrying aid is configured by connecting a hook engaging portion 1 capable of engaging a handle of a baggage and a hanging portion 2 capable of being connected to a predetermined part of a body. Since the weight of the baggage is distributed to the palm supporting the handle locking portion 1 to which the handle of the baggage is locked, and to a predetermined part of the body where the hanging portion 1 is suspended by the hanging portion 2, It can be transported easily with less burden.
[0010]
The hanging part 2 includes a body connecting means and a hanging means of the handholding locking part 1, such as a shoulder belt that can be hung on a shoulder or a belt that is wound around the waist. It is possible to use a locking tool or the like. The weight of baggage distributed between predetermined parts of the body, such as the shoulders and waist, and the palm below which supports the handgrip locking unit 1, changes the burden ratio without changing the posture by changing the degree of support by the palm. can do. In addition, by hanging the hand latch 1 from a position along the longitudinal direction of the arm such as the side of the waist or the shoulder, the hand latch 1 can be arranged at the position of the palm in a normal walking posture. . Further, the hand-held locking portion 1 itself for holding the handle of the baggage is supported by the palm, so that the baggage does not hit the body during transportation.
[0011]
The hook latch 1 is formed to have a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens upward, and locks the handle by dropping the handle into the opening. The entrance of the opening of the hook engaging portion 1 may be fixed to a predetermined width, but if the hook engaging portion 1 is formed of a soft material so that it can be expanded and deformed, a handle having a large diameter is used. Even if it is, it can be easily inserted into the hook locking portion 1. In addition, the hook-and-lock portion 1 has a U-shaped bottom having a width approximately equal to that of the palm so as to be easily supported by the palm, and a pair of U-shaped vertical walls having the same height so that the handle can be stably held. Desirably.
[0012]
The connection between the hand-held locking portion 1 and the hanging portion 2 may be, for example, the hanging portion 2 may be detachably connected to both U-shaped ends of the hand-held locking portion 1. By connecting the hanging part 2 to the one end part 3 facing the opening, the handle can be easily engaged with and disengaged from the locking part 1. In this case, as described above, if the latch portion 1 is formed flexibly, the free end 4 to which the hanging portion 2 is not connected may be deformed and the opening may be enlarged when the baggage is heavy. However, the deformation of the free end portion 4 to the side can be easily restricted by the palm supporting the handholding locking portion 1. Note that, in order to facilitate the deformation control by the palm, it is desirable that the hook engaging portion 1 is formed to be about the size of a palm that is sandwiched between the palms or bent so as to be easily gripped.
[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the baggage carrying aid is formed by connecting a hand-locking portion 1 to a lower end of a shoulder belt (hanging portion 2).
[0014]
The shoulder belt 2 is formed by fixing one end of a belt-shaped belt material of an appropriate length made of polypropylene, acrylic, or the like to the hooking and locking portion 1 and fixing the other end to the length adjuster 6. The length adjuster 6 is a well-known one made of a frame in the shape of a letter in a front view. Is passed over the length adjusting tool 6 to form a closed loop (connecting means 5) that can be wound around the shoulder at the folded portion. The belt length can be adjusted by enlarging or reducing the size of the closed loop 5 by the length adjuster 6. When the closed loop 5 is small, the overall length is long, and when the closed loop 5 is large, the length is short. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 7 denotes a shoulder pad, which is formed of a soft resin or the like into a rectangular shape slightly wider than the belt material, and the belt material is inserted into holes formed near both ends in the longitudinal direction. It functions as a cushioning material and non-slip on the inner surface that comes in contact with the shoulder. In FIGS. 1 and 2, an X mark formed in the vicinity of the hook engaging portion 1 indicates a sewing state of the belt material.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the hook locking portion 1 is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section opened upward, more precisely, in a substantially elongated elliptical shape having a vertically opened vertical portion. Belt insertion holes 9, 9 through which the above-described belt material can be inserted are formed near the upper portion where the two vertical walls 8, 8 each having a gentle arc shape approaching. The width of the opening between the vertical walls 8, 8 forming a U-shape symmetrical with respect to the opening, increases in the width direction from the bottom, which is the bottom, to the middle in the height direction, and increases from the middle to the opening. It gradually reduces toward the upper end near 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, the belt insertion hole 9 is opened obliquely upward toward the outside, so that the shoulder belt 2 is inserted into one of the belt insertion holes 9 so that the hand-held locking portion 1 is formed. , The free end portion 4 at the other end can be maintained at a position close to the horizontal direction with respect to the U-shaped one end portion 3 of the hand latch portion 1 to which the shoulder belt 2 is connected. .
[0016]
The hook engaging portion 1 is formed by integral molding of EVA resin (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) which is relatively soft but is strong against cracks and has good texture. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the hook latch 1 in a front view has a trapezoidal shape in which the width gradually decreases from the bottom of 90 mm close to the width of a general palm toward the upper opening 10. Since the upper side is 40 mm, which is less than half of the bottom side, the opening 10 can be easily deformed so as to expand and contract. In addition, since the height from the top side to the bottom side is 70 mm, the vertical wall 8 is just about half the size of the palm in a front view. Further, since the above-described belt insertion hole 9 is opened in a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the horizontal direction, the handholding locking portion 1 maintains a horizontal posture when it is hung by the shoulder belt 2. In FIG. 2B, reference numeral 11 denotes a concave portion for preventing slippage.
[0017]
Therefore, in this embodiment, the closed loop 5 of the shoulder belt 2 is wound around one shoulder, the hanging hook 1 is suspended vertically from under the armpit, and the length of the shoulder belt 2 is appropriately adjusted by the length adjuster 6. When adjusted, it becomes possible to dispose the hook engaging portion 1 at the position of the palm of the arm extended downward. When carrying the baggage, in this state, the U-shaped free end portion 4 of the hand-held locking portion 1 to which the shoulder belt 2 is not connected is pulled outward to enlarge the opening 10 and hold the baggage 12. The hand 12a may be inserted into the handle latch 1 through the opening 10 that is widely opened, the handle 12a is locked to the bottom of the handle latch 1 by the weight of the baggage 12, and the bag 12 is suspended from the shoulder. State.
[0018]
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, the shoulder belt 2 is twisted by 90 degrees to arrange the hand-held locking portion 1 in a parallel direction along the body side. , The weight of the baggage 12 is distributed to the shoulder around which the shoulder belt 2 is wound and the palm supporting the handholding locking portion 1. In this state, when the palm supporting the hook latch 1 is bent, the vertical walls 8, 8 of the hook latch 1 are formed in an elliptical shape, so that almost the entire palm naturally adheres to the hook latch 1 naturally. Can be done.
[0019]
Therefore, the weight of the baggage 12 borne by the palm is reduced, so that the baggage 12 can be transported easily. Further, since the weight burden by the palm can be adjusted in the same posture, for example, when tired, it is possible to bear the vertical load of the baggage 12 only with the shoulder, and the tire is not tired even when transported for a long time. Furthermore, by gently squeezing the handholding latch 1 with the palm or sandwiching it between the palms, the opening 10 of the hooking latching 1 that opens vertically along the shoulder belt 2 can be easily closed, The baggage 12 can be stably carried. In addition, even when the handle 12a is thin, the handle 12a does not bite into the palm because the handle 12a is supported via the hook locking portion 1.
[0020]
On the other hand, at the time of walking, guided by the shoulder belt 2 wrapped around the shoulder by the shoulder pad 7, the hand-holding locking portion 1, that is, the handle 12 a is guided by the arm that moves back and forth in a pendulum shape on the body side around the shoulder. Therefore, the shoulder belt 2 is not twisted, and the baggage 12 does not hit the body. In addition, in order to suspend the hand-locking portion 1 vertically from the armpit, for example, when a baggage carrying aid is attached under the outerwear, the fashionability is not impaired.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the weight burden of baggage can be easily distributed at an arbitrary ratio between the palm and a predetermined part of the body other than the palm, so that the baggage can be easily transported during walking. Can be. In addition, since the handle is supported through the handhold locking portion, it is possible to prevent the handle from digging into the palm during transportation.
