The blower having the structure is applied to uses except a helmet. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は、例えばヘルメットの内部空間、安全靴の内部空間、等々の蒸れを軽減するために、その内外を隔てる遮蔽板に設置する送風器の構造に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a structure of a blower installed on a shielding plate that separates the inside and outside of the helmet in order to reduce the stuffiness of the interior space of a helmet, the interior space of safety shoes, and the like.

安全を第一の目的で製造されるヘルメットは、それが工事用のものであろうがオートバイ用のものであろうが、装着感の良いものではない。特に夏季は、蒸れが加わり状況は劣悪なものとなる。 A helmet manufactured with safety as the primary purpose, whether it is for construction or for motorcycles, is not a good fit. Especially in the summer, stuffiness is added and the situation is poor.

このような状況を回避するために、これまで種々の改良が提案され市販もされている。例えば、ヘルメットに透孔を設け、器具を用いたりオートバイ走行中に受ける風圧を利用してヘルメット内部空間の換気を行うものがある。更に、空気冷却装置を具備し冷気を導入するタイプのものも提案されている。
特開２００１−０８９９２６特開２０００−２３４２１３ In order to avoid such a situation, various improvements have been proposed and marketed. For example, there is a helmet provided with a through hole to ventilate the interior space of the helmet using equipment or using wind pressure received during motorcycle traveling. Further, a type that includes an air cooling device and introduces cool air has been proposed.

しかし、従来のそうした機構は、ヘルメットと一体不可分のものであったり、構造が複雑であったりするため、既に所有している一般的なヘルメットに簡単に取り付けることができなかったし、高価なものであった。
However, such a conventional mechanism is inseparable from the helmet and complicated in structure, so it cannot be easily attached to a general helmet already owned, and is expensive. Met.

以上のような現状に鑑み、本発明者は長年鋭意研究の結果遂に本発明を成したものであり、その特徴とするところは、外気を導入することで内部の換気を行うための送風機であって、外部と該内部とを仕切る遮蔽板の端縁を挟持するグリップ部を有する筐体内には、該外部の空気を吸引するためのファン、電池格納部が配置されており、該筐体表面にはスイッチ、該ファンによって吸引された空気を該内部に吐出するため該内部に開口部が向けられた送風ノズル、が設けられている点にある。 In view of the current situation as described above, the present inventor finally made the present invention as a result of intensive research for many years, and the feature thereof is a blower for ventilating the inside by introducing outside air. A fan for sucking the outside air and a battery storage unit are disposed in the housing having a grip portion that sandwiches the edge of the shielding plate that partitions the outside and the inside, and the surface of the housing Is provided with a blower nozzle having an opening directed to the inside for discharging air sucked by the fan into the switch.

なお本発明の対象は、着脱が容易で構造がシンプルなヘルメット用送風器を開発することに端を発しているが、その後その利便性はヘルメット内部空間の換気という当初の用途以外にも好適に適用できることが判明した。即ち、完全には閉じられていない限られた空間があってそれが遮蔽板によって隔てられていれば、基本的に本発明送風器を以て換気が可能となる。例を挙げると、耐火服、靴（安全靴）、自動車室内、等々である。例えば靴（安全靴）の場合であると靴革が遮蔽板となり、自動車室内の場合であると開閉ガラスが遮蔽板となる。
The subject of the present invention originates from the development of a helmet blower that is easy to attach and detach and has a simple structure, but its convenience is suitable for purposes other than the initial use of ventilation of the helmet interior space. It turns out that it is applicable. That is, if there is a limited space that is not completely closed and separated by a shielding plate, ventilation can be basically performed with the blower of the present invention. Examples include fire-resistant clothing, shoes (safety shoes), car interiors, and so on. For example, in the case of shoes (safety shoes), shoe leather serves as a shielding plate, and in the case of an automobile interior, the opening / closing glass serves as a shielding plate.

本発明に係る送風器は、以下述べる如き効果を有する。
（１）内外を隔てる遮蔽板の端縁に掛けるだけで簡単に換気を行うことができ、設置に当たって対象物本体（ヘルメットなど）を改造する必要がない。
（２）取り外しが容易であるので必要な時・時期にだけ設置することができる。
（３）構造がシンプルであるので安価、軽量な製品を提供しやすい。
The blower according to the present invention has the following effects.
(1) Ventilation can be performed simply by hanging on the edge of the shielding plate that separates the inside and outside, and there is no need to modify the object body (such as a helmet) for installation.
(2) Since it is easy to remove, it can be installed only when necessary.
(3) Since the structure is simple, it is easy to provide inexpensive and lightweight products.

以下図面に基づいて本発明をより詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

図１は、本発明に係る送風器１（以下「本発明送風器１」という）の一例を示すものであり、図より明らかなように本発明送風機１は、筐体２と送風ノズル３とを概ね「Ｊ」字形に配置した全体形状の器具であり、筐体２表面には面ファスナー２１、スイッチ２２が設けられている。送風ノズル３は湾曲した流路を有しており、吐出される空気の方向は筐体２に概ね沿うものとなっている。 FIG. 1 shows an example of a blower 1 according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the present invention blower 1”). As is clear from the figure, the present blower 1 includes a housing 2, a blow nozzle 3, Are arranged in a generally “J” shape, and a hook-and-loop fastener 21 and a switch 22 are provided on the surface of the housing 2. The blower nozzle 3 has a curved flow path, and the direction of the discharged air is generally along the housing 2.

図２は、図１で示した送風器の概略断面図であり、筐体２内に乾電池Ｂ（本例では９Ｖ形積層乾電池）及びファン４が内蔵されている。なお、乾電池Ｂとファン４、スイッチ２２とは導線その他で接続されているが図示を省略している。またファン４は、フィルターを伴っており、簡単に交換ができるような構造となっているがそれについても図示は省略している。 FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the blower shown in FIG. 1, in which a dry battery B (9V type stacked dry battery in this example) and a fan 4 are built in a housing 2. In addition, although the dry cell B, the fan 4, and the switch 22 are connected by conducting wire or the like, illustration is omitted. The fan 4 is accompanied by a filter and has a structure that can be easily replaced, but this is not shown.

図３は、本発明送風器１をヘルメットＨに装着した状態を概略的に示すものである。ヘルメットＨの後端縁には面ファスナーＦが予め貼付されている必要があるが、除去に際してヘルメットの躯体を損壊させるような強度の貼着力は必要ではなく、やや強力な粘着剤による貼付で充分機能する。
本発明送風器１の設置作業は、筐体２と送風ノズル３の間にヘルメットＨ後端を差し込むようにし、筐体２側の面ファスナー２１とヘルメットＨ側の面ファスナーＦとを接合するだけである。このようにしてスイッチ２２を入れると、外気がヘルメットＨの内部空間に導入されることとなり、これを換気と考えると、ヘルメットＨによって隔てられた空間の換気となり、ヘルメットＨが「遮蔽板」であるということになる。 FIG. 3 schematically shows a state where the blower 1 of the present invention is mounted on the helmet H. A hook-and-loop fastener F needs to be affixed to the rear edge of the helmet H in advance, but it is not necessary to have a strong adhesive force that damages the helmet body when removed, and it is sufficient to apply a slightly strong adhesive. Function.
The installation work of the blower 1 of the present invention is such that the rear end of the helmet H is inserted between the housing 2 and the air blowing nozzle 3 and the surface fastener 21 on the housing 2 side and the surface fastener F on the helmet H side are joined. It is. When the switch 22 is turned on in this way, outside air is introduced into the interior space of the helmet H. If this is considered as ventilation, ventilation of the space separated by the helmet H results in the helmet H being a “shield plate”. It will be.

ヘルメットＨ内には外気が導入されることになるが、導入された空気が内部空間（頭部とヘルメットＨとの隙間）にうまく拡散されるように、図４の如く送風ノズル３の出口近くに、拡散反射板３１を配置しておくと好適である。なお図示した拡散反射板３１は、２枚の板をＶ字形に形成させたものであるが、このほかにも様々な構造・形状のものが採用可能である。 Outside air will be introduced into the helmet H, but near the outlet of the blowing nozzle 3 as shown in FIG. 4 so that the introduced air is diffused well into the internal space (the gap between the head and the helmet H). In addition, it is preferable to dispose the diffuse reflection plate 31 in advance. The illustrated diffuse reflection plate 31 is formed by forming two plates into a V shape, but various other structures and shapes can be employed.

またスイッチ２２は、本発明送風器１設置後手動でＯＮ状態にし、換気終了後にも手動でＯＦＦにするものであるが、図５のように、筐体２と送風ノズル３の隙間にスイッチ２２を配置し、ヘルメットＨの鍔等の遮蔽体をここに挿通させた時にスイッチが入り、抜き取った時に切れるようにしておくと、ＯＮ−ＯＦＦが自動化されることになるし、この隙間が狭い場合には誤動作を防止することにもなる。
The switch 22 is manually turned on after the installation of the blower 1 of the present invention and manually turned off even after the end of ventilation. However, the switch 22 is placed in the gap between the housing 2 and the blower nozzle 3 as shown in FIG. If the switch is turned on when the shield such as the helmet of the helmet H is inserted here, and is turned off when it is removed, ON-OFF will be automated, and this gap is narrow This also prevents malfunction.
