Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide waterproof clothes having waterproof/moisture permeability and at the same time, easiness of washing. <P>SOLUTION: The waterproof clothes 10 are made of a front cloth 11 and a lining 12. Urethane resin applied with water repellent finish is used for the front cloth 11, and a waterproof/moisture permeable material is used for the lining 12. An interspace between the front cloth 11 and the lining 12 is opened to the outside of the waterproof clothes 10 at the bottom of the waterproof clothes 10. The front cloth 11 is provided with a vent hole 13 which connects the interspace between the front cloth 11 and the lining 12 to the outside of the waterproof clothes. Since the front cloth 11 has the urethane resin applied with water repellent finish, dirt is easily removed when washing, and the lining 12 enables achievement of waterproof/moisture permeable function. Water vapor which is emitted from the lining 12 by the moisture permeable function of the lining 12 is discharged to the outside through the vent hole 13 from the interspace between the front cloth 11 and the lining 12, so the moisture permeable function of the lining 12 becomes effective. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a waterproof garment, and more particularly to a waterproof garment that requires a moisture permeability function in addition to a waterproof function.

  Clothes having a waterproof function are known as work clothes, rain feathers, etc. for fishermen (fisheries processors, fishermen, etc.). These waterproof clothes are made of PVC (vinyl chloride) resin. Waterproof clothing made of vinyl chloride resin material is inexpensive, strong, and easy to process. At the time of processing, since the joint between the fabric and the fabric is melted and joined by high-frequency welding, the entire garment becomes a seamless connection after processing. Since vinyl chloride resin does not allow water to pass through, the seamless waterproof garment made in this way realizes complete waterproof performance.

  However, waterproof clothing made of vinyl chloride resin is heavy and hard when the strength is required. Further, when a vinyl chloride resin is used, there is a problem in that since the vinyl chloride resin is not breathable, the inside of the clothes is steamed and dirt is not easily removed, and dioxins are generated when incinerated.

  On the other hand, rain feathers using waterproof and moisture-permeable materials have been developed. The waterproof and moisture-permeable material does not allow water molecules to pass through, but has a very small hole through which water vapor from sweat can pass, and has both a waterproof function and a moisture-permeable function.

  However, the waterproof and moisture-permeable material has a problem that clogging is likely to occur due to dirt or salt from seawater because it has very small holes. Moreover, the waterproof and moisture-permeable material is not strong and is not suitable for business use such as work clothes for fishermen.

As a technique related to the present invention, for example, a technique described in Patent Document 1 is known.
JP 2001-055669 A

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a waterproof garment having waterproof moisture permeability and easy cleaning.

  The waterproof garment of the present invention is a waterproof garment having a surface fabric made of urethane resin subjected to water repellent finish and a back fabric using a waterproof moisture-permeable material, and a space between the front fabric and the back fabric Is open to the outside of the waterproof garment at the bottom of the waterproof garment, and the front fabric is provided with a vent that communicates the space between the front and back fabric and the exterior of the waterproof garment Yes. The vent is preferably an opening formed by overlapping the upper and lower fabrics of the front fabric.

  The waterproof garment of the present invention is a waterproof garment using a surface fabric made of a urethane resin subjected to water repellent treatment, and the inside of the surface fabric communicates with the outside of the waterproof garment. Ventilation holes are provided, and the front fabric is provided with a fabric using a waterproof and moisture-permeable material so as to cover the ventilation holes. In addition, it is desirable that the fabric using the waterproof and moisture permeable material is provided inside the outer fabric.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the water repellent finish of said surface fabric is given by silicon coating or fluorine processing.

  According to the waterproof garment of the present invention, the waterproof and moisture-permeable effect can be realized, and at the same time, the dirt adhered to the garment surface can be easily removed.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the waterproof garment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In this specification, “clothes” includes jackets, pants, hoods, hats, etc., as well as jumpsuits in which the jacket and pants are integrated, and body suits in which the head to the foot are integrated. It is a waste.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a view showing a waterproof jumper 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
The waterproof jumper 10 has a front fabric 11 and a back fabric 12. These two pieces of fabric are sewn together by a part, that is, a collar and cuffs, but are not joined at the bottom hem, and the space between the front fabric 11 and the back fabric 12 is at the bottom. The waterproof jumper 10 is open to the outside. The space between the fabric 11 and the back fabric 12 is such that the water that has entered the front fabric 11 is repelled by the back fabric 12 and the water flowing along the surface of the back fabric 12 is discharged from the hem to the outside. As long as it is open to the outside of the waterproof jumper 10 at the bottom, the front fabric 11 and the back fabric 12 may be joined at a part of the hem.

  The fabric in the table is a fabric made of urethane resin that has been subjected to water-repellent processing by silicon coating (hereinafter simply referred to as “silicone water-repellent processing”). Urethane resin is a material that does not generate dioxins during incineration. Fabric made of silicone water-repellent urethane resin is not much different from vinyl chloride resin in terms of strength, but urethane resin is lighter in specific gravity than vinyl chloride resin, and the fabric quality is soft, making it heat and cold resistant. Is also excellent. Moreover, since it is water-repellent, dirt easily falls off.

  Fabric made of silicon water-repellent urethane resin has been developed as a commercial apron and has been highly evaluated for its dirt removal. The apron structure is relatively simple, and it is not necessary to connect a plurality of fabrics together when manufacturing. On the other hand, when this fabric is used for clothes, since the structure of the clothes is relatively complicated, it is necessary to connect a plurality of fabrics to each other. However, fabrics made of silicone water-repellent urethane resin cannot be joined together by high-frequency welding or adhesive like vinyl chloride resin. Therefore, when a garment is made of a fabric made of urethane resin, a plurality of fabrics must be sewn together by sewing using a thread. However, sewing means that a hole is made in the fabric, and water enters through the hole. In the case of nylon fabric or urethane fabric, seam tape processing is applied to prevent the intrusion of water from the stitched area. However, in the case of fabric made of urethane water treated with silicone water repellent, the silicone repellent properties This seam tape cannot be bonded due to the action of water processing.

  Therefore, the waterproof jumper 10 is provided with a back fabric 12 to ensure a waterproof function. The back fabric 12 is made of a waterproof and moisture permeable material. The back fabric 12 has a plurality of fabrics stitched together by thread, and the stitched portion is seam-taped to prevent water from entering from the joint portions of the plurality of fabrics. Further, the back fabric 12 is formed with a rubber cuff at the cuff portion. With this configuration, the cuff portion is in close contact with the body, preventing water from entering the back fabric 12.

  A vent (ventilation) 13 is provided at the interrupted portion of the back portion of the front fabric 11. The upper fabric 111 and the lower fabric 112 of the front fabric 11 are overlapped so that the upper fabric 111 covers the lower fabric 112 in a state where they are not stitched together to form a gusset. And the opening of this gusset part becomes the vent hole 13. The vent 13 communicates the space formed between the front fabric 11 and the back fabric 12 and the outside of the waterproof jumper 10. Note that several velcro tapes (registered trademark) may be provided in the gusset portion of the vent hole 13 to prevent the upper fabric 111 from being lifted excessively from the lower fabric 112 while ensuring the ventilation function.

  In the waterproof jumper 10, since the front fabric 11 does not have a waterproof function, water may enter from the vent 13, the hem, the cuff, or the like of the front fabric 11. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the front fabric 11 is broken and water enters. However, since the inner back fabric 12 is waterproof, water does not enter the inside of the back fabric 12, and the water that has entered the inside of the front fabric 11 is discharged from the bottom.

  The urethane water-repellent processed silicone resin used as the front fabric 11 has almost no moisture permeability effect, but the waterproof and moisture-permeable material used as the back fabric 12 by providing the vent hole 13. The moisture permeability effect is utilized. In other words, the water vapor emitted from the back fabric 12 to the space between the back fabric 12 and the front fabric 11 is released to the outside of the waterproof jumper 10 through the vent hole 13.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a view showing a waterproof chest pants 20 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
The chest part extends to the ventral waist part of the waterproof chest pants 20, and the waist pad extends to the back waist part. Two suspender connecting portions are provided at the uppermost portion of the chest holding portion and the uppermost portion of the waist contacting portion, respectively, and the suspenders are connected to the connecting portions to form hanging pants.

  Even in the waterproof chest pants 20, a front fabric 21 made of a silicone water-repellent urethane fabric and a back fabric 22 made of a waterproof and moisture-permeable material are bonded together at the upper chest portion. The front fabric 21 has a front body and a back body sewn with a thread. On the other hand, in the back fabric 22, the front body and the back body are stitched together, and seam tape processing is applied to the stitched portion to prevent water from entering from the stitched portion.

  In addition, at the bottom hem portion, the front fabric 21 and the back fabric 22 are only partly sewn together according to the intention, and the space between the front fabric 21 and the back fabric 22 is this hem portion. The waterproof chest pants 20 are open to the outside. When the user wears the waterproof chest pants 20, the water inside the front fabric 21 cannot enter the back fabric 22, flows down the surface of the back fabric 22 by gravity, and this hem portion Is discharged to the outside. It should be noted that the front fabric 21 and the back fabric 22 are sewn together at a part of the hem portion, thereby preventing the back fabric from turning up when the wearer takes off the waterproof chest pants 20.

  A vent port 23 is provided slightly below the waist part of the back of the front fabric 21. In the vent 23, there is formed a gusset that overlaps the upper fabric 211 and the lower fabric 212 in a state where they are not joined together by stitching, bonding or crimping with a thread.

  The waterproof chest pants 20 can provide the same effect as the waterproof jumper 10 of the first embodiment. That is, it is possible to easily remove the dirt while at the same time realizing the waterproof and moisture permeability effect. Moreover, by providing the vent hole 23, the moisture permeability effect of the back fabric 22 can be effectively exhibited.

(Third embodiment)
In the first and second embodiments described above, two sheets are made up of a front fabric made of urethane resin subjected to silicon water repellent finish and a back fabric using a waterproof moisture-permeable material. In the third embodiment, a fabric that can be subjected to high-frequency welding or seam tape processing is adopted as the front fabric, and a fabric of a waterproof and moisture-permeable material is applied so as to cover only the vent portion. The fabric of the waterproof and moisture-permeable material is welded to the front fabric by high-frequency welding, or seam taped on the seam after being sewn to the front fabric. This allows water vapor generated inside the outer fabric to be released to the outside of the clothing through the vents and prevents moisture from flowing in through the vents, achieving a complete waterproof function without using a two-sheet structure. Is done. In addition, the amount of waterproof and moisture-permeable material used can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

  The fabric of the waterproof and moisture-permeable material applied to the vents may be applied so as to cover the vents from the inside of the front fabric, or may be applied so as to cover the vents from the outside of the front fabric. However, it is preferable to apply from the inside of the front fabric because the waterproof and moisture permeable material is not visible from the outside, and it is also preferable in terms of preventing clogging due to dirt or salt of seawater.

  In the first to third embodiments, the example in which the vent is provided only at one place has been described. However, the vent may be provided at a plurality of places according to the intended use. The more vent holes, the more water vapor can be released to the outside due to the water present in the space between the front and back fabrics. As a result, the moisture-permeable effect of the back fabric is utilized more effectively, and the wearer can be given a comfortable feeling without stuffiness.

  In the above embodiment, the water-repellent processing is performed by the silicon coating. However, the water-repellent processing may be performed by the fluorine processing, or the water-repellent effect can be obtained by performing the silicon coating on the fluorine processing. You may have it.

  The waterproof garment of the present invention is preferably used as work clothes, rain feathers and the like for fishermen.
