Description

  The present invention relates to a portable shock absorber that is used when, for example, a baggage or the like is leaned against a wall and inserted between the wall and the wall to prevent the wall from being damaged.

  In the delivery industry, when loading and unloading luggage on a truck and installing luggage at a delivery destination, there are frequently cases where work is performed by temporarily placing the luggage on a flat surface such as the ground or floor. At that time, it is necessary to temporarily lean the load on the wall or the like in a shape that cannot be stably placed on the ground. However, if a heavy or square baggage is leaned directly against a wall, the wall may be dented or scratched. In order to prevent this, in general, an appropriate object such as a piece of cloth, gloves or newspaper is often sandwiched between the wall and the luggage as a buffer.

However, when trying to lean a load against a wall, it is usually in a state where it cannot be released from the load. Therefore, in the above method, if there is no suitable buffer nearby, there is a disadvantage that there is nothing else than asking someone else to search for the buffer or looking for the buffer while holding the baggage. is there.
In addition, the thing used as a buffer in the above method (such as a piece of cloth) is not intended to be used for that purpose. There is a disadvantage that it cannot be used. Furthermore, if it becomes unnecessary or forgotten, it is disadvantageous that the material used as the buffer becomes garbage.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this situation, The objective is to provide the buffer which is excellent in portability and can be used easily when needed.

  The shock absorber according to the present invention is deformable from an extended state to a wound state, and a belt-like body that acts to hold the wound state against an external force that deforms the wound state to the extended state. And a buffer member that covers at least a part of the belt-like body.

  According to said structure, since the said strip | belt-shaped body can deform | transform from the said extended state to the said wound state, it is possible to wind the said buffer around the predetermined | prescribed site | parts of human bodies, such as a wrist, for example. Further, in the belt-like body, since the force that holds the wound state against the external force that deforms the wound state into the extended state works, once the buffer is wound around the wrist or the like, The wound state is maintained. Therefore, it is possible to wrap the cushioning device around a wrist or the like, remove it as necessary, and use the cushioning member for cushioning objects.

The band-shaped body may be formed of, for example, an elastic material that exerts a force for restoring from the extended state to the wound state.
In this case, the strip may be bent in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in the extended state. When the belt is in a state where the inner surface in the rolled state protrudes due to this curvature, the belt-like body has a force for holding the extended state against an external force that deforms the extended state to the wound state. May work.
According to said structure, since the said strip | belt-shaped body is hold | maintained in the said extended state by making the said strip | belt-shaped body into the said curved state, compared with the said rolled state, the said buffer member is between an object and an article | item. It becomes easy to pinch.

In this case, the band may have a gap at both ends in the wound state.
According to the above configuration, even if the belt-like body is in the rolled state, if the wrist or the like is pushed into the gap, the shock absorber can be easily attached to the wrist without pulling the belt-like body into the extended state. It becomes possible to attach to etc.

Moreover, the said strip | belt-shaped body may have a some nodule part which the force which resists the external force to bend | folded, and hold | maintains the original bending state, for example.
According to the above configuration, when the shock absorber is deformed to the extended state in order to remove it from a wrist or the like, a force for maintaining the original bent state is applied to the knot portion, and thus the band-like body is extended. Kept in a state. When the shock absorber is attached to the wrist or the like again, the belt-like body may be deformed again from the extended state to the wound state. Therefore, it becomes easier to wrap around the wrist or the like as compared with the case where the belt-like body restores itself to the wound state.

Preferably, the shock absorber may have a belt-like bag capable of accommodating the belt-like body in the extended state. And at least one part of the said bag may comprise the said buffer member.
According to said structure, compared with the case where the said buffer member is directly affixed on the said strip | belt-shaped object, replacement | exchange of the said buffer member becomes easy.

For example, the bag may have a fastener that opens and closes a hole of a size that allows the strip to be taken in and out.
Or the said bag is a cut provided along the longitudinal direction, Comprising: You may have a cut formed so that a part of inner surface and a part of outer surface of the said bag might overlap.
According to said structure, it becomes possible to put in / out the said strip | belt-shaped body in the said bag, without tearing the said bag, and replacement | exchange of the said buffer member becomes still easier.

The bag may include a main part that accommodates the belt-like body and a belt-like sub part that extends from an end of the main part.
According to said structure, it becomes possible to extend the length of the said bag which can be used as said buffer member arbitrarily.

In this case, the shock absorber includes a first adhesive portion provided at an end portion of the sub portion, and the main portion or the sub portion that can contact the first adhesive portion when the belt-like body is in the rolled state. A second adhesive part provided on the outer surface of the part, and the first adhesive part and the second adhesive part may be detachably bonded.
According to said structure, the said sub part is wound around a wrist etc. with the said main part, and the terminal part of the said sub part is fixed by adhere | attaching the said 1st adhesion part and the said 2nd adhesion part. This makes it easier to carry the shock absorber.

  According to the present invention, for example, it can be carried by being attached to a human body part such as a wrist, and can be easily removed and used for buffering an object when necessary.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2 are diagrams illustrating an example of a configuration of a shock absorber 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a state wound around the wrist, and FIG. 2 shows an extended state.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the shock absorber 100 according to this embodiment includes a belt-like body 10 and a belt-like bag 20 that accommodates the belt-like body 10. In the example of FIG. 2, for convenience of illustrating the belt-like body 10 accommodated in the bag 20, the bag 20 is partially cut out to expose the inside. The entire body 10 is covered.

[Strip 10]
The belt-like body 10 can be deformed from an extended state to a wound state, and when an external force is applied to deform the wound state into an extended state, a force (shape holding) is held to resist the wound state. Force) is configured to work.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a first configuration example of the strip 10.
In the example of FIG. 3, the belt-like body 10 is formed of an elastic material such as metal or resin. In a state where no external force is applied, the coil is wound as shown in FIG. 3A. When an external force is applied to this to deform into an extended state as shown in FIG. 3B, the winding shown in FIG. The resilience to return to the original state works.

  Therefore, for example, when the shock absorber 100 is attached to the wrist, the belt-like body 10 is pulled to be in an extended state as shown in FIG. 3B, and in this state, the wrist is placed inside the shock absorber 100 (in a rolled state). The pulling force applied to the inner side may be weakened and the belt-like body 10 may be naturally restored to the wound state. Therefore, when the user attaches the shock absorber 100 to the wrist, the user does not need to perform a troublesome operation such as passing a hole in the belt like a wristwatch. It can be done very easily.

  In addition, once the shock absorber 100 is attached to the wrist, a force is applied to the belt-like body 100 so as to keep the wound state, and the user does not need to hold the shock absorber 100 with the other hand so that the shock absorber 100 does not fall off the wrist. . That is, since the shock absorber 100 is wound around the wrist itself, the user can freely use the other hand and can easily carry the shock absorber 100.

FIG. 4 is a view showing a modification of the belt-like body shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the band-like body 10 may be formed so as to bend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in the extended state. That is, the belt-like body 10 may be formed such that the inner surface in the rolled state is curved and protrudes in the extended state.
When bent as shown in FIG. 4A in the extended state, the band-like body 10 has a force to keep the extended state against an external force that tries to deform the extended state into a wound state. work. Once in this extended state, even if the user does not continue to pull on the shock absorber 100, the shock absorber 100 maintains its extended state.

  Therefore, if the shock absorber 100 is held in the extended state as shown in FIG. 4A, the operation of sandwiching the shock absorber 100 between the objects can be easily performed with one hand. For example, when the shock absorber 100 is sandwiched between the load and the wall while holding the load with one hand, the extended state (FIG. 4 (A)) compared to the rolled state (FIG. 4 (B)). The work of pinching can be easily performed.

Note that the belt-like body 10 may be formed such that a gap is generated at both ends in the rolled state. That is, the length and width of the belt-like body 10 may be set so that the number of turns in the wound state is less than one round and a gap through which a wrist or the like passes if a slight force is applied and pushed in.
In this way, if there is a gap at both ends in the wound state, the shock absorber 100 can be easily applied to the wrist or the like without having to bother to pull the band-like body 10 with both hands by pushing the wrist or the like into the gap. It becomes possible to install.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a second configuration example of the belt-like body 10.
In the example of FIG. 5, the belt-like body 10 includes a plurality of node portions (12-1 to 12-8) that can be bent.
That is, the belt-like body 10 includes, for example, plate-like connected members 11-1,..., 11-9 formed of resin, metal, and the like, and joint portions 12-1,. And have.

The node portion 12-n (n represents an integer of 1 to 8) connects the members to be connected 11-n and 11- (n + 1) so as to be able to bend. However, when an external force to be bent is applied, the node 12-n resists the external force. In this way, a force that keeps the original bending state works. For example, when bending, an elastic member such as resin is deformed or a frictional force is applied.
In this way, in the joint portions 12-1 to 12-8 of the belt-like body 10, a force that keeps the original bending state against the external force to bend acts, so that it extends to remove the shock absorber 100 from the wrist or the like. When it is deformed, the strip 10 is held in its extended state. Therefore, when the shock absorber 100 is attached to the wrist again, the belt-like body 10 may be bent and deformed from the extended state to the wound state, and when the shock absorber 100 is removed, the state immediately returns to the wound state. Compared to the example of FIG. 3, winding around the wrist or the like is further facilitated.
The above is the description of the strip 10.

[Bag 20]
The bag 20 has a belt-like form as shown in FIG. 2, and can accommodate the belt-like body 10 in an extended state therein. The bag 20 is formed of a cushioning material such as towel cloth, and at least a part of the bag 20 can be used as a cushioning member. For example, the entire bag 20 may be formed of towel cloth, or a cloth such as synthetic fiber or cotton is formed in a bag shape, and a towel cloth, sponge, urethane, rubber or the like as a cushioning member is formed on a part thereof. It may be pasted. Alternatively, the outer surface and the inner surface may be formed of independent cloths, and cotton or sponge may be filled between them.
As described above, when the belt-like body 10 is accommodated in the bag 20, the shock-absorbing member can be easily replaced as compared with the case where the buffer member is directly attached to the belt-like body 10.

  The bag 20 may be provided with a hole for taking in and out the belt-like body 10. 6 and 7 show examples thereof.

FIG. 6 shows an example of providing a cut for taking the belt 10 into and out of the bag 20.
The bag 20 shown in the example of FIG. 6A is provided with a cut 21 along its longitudinal direction. 6B shows a cross section when the shock absorber 100 is cut along the dotted line AA ′ in FIG. 6A. As shown in FIG. A cut is formed by overlapping a part of the outer surface. According to this structure, since the inner surface and the outer surface of the bag 20 overlap each other at the cut line 21, it is possible to prevent the belt-like body 10 housed inside the bag 20 from going out easily.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which a fastener 22 is provided at the end of the bag 20. 7A shows a state in which the fastener 22 is closed, and FIG. 7B shows a state in which the fastener 22 is opened.
When the fastener 22 is opened as shown in FIG. 7B, a hole having an appropriate size that allows the strip-shaped body 20 to be easily taken out is opened.

  By providing holes in the bag 20 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the belt-like body 10 can be taken in and out without breaking the bag 20. This facilitates washing and replacement of the bag 20.

Next, the usage example of the buffer 100 mentioned above is demonstrated with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a worker who carries a load in a transportation business or the like uses the shock absorber 100 attached to the wrist.
As shown in FIG. 8 (A), when the luggage 400 is relatively vertically long, if the luggage 400 is placed on the floor, the traffic of the person is hindered or the work is obstructed. Try to stand up. At that time, the operator 200 presses the load 400 with one hand, removes the shock absorber 100 attached to the wrist with the other hand, and sandwiches it between the load 400 and the wall 300 (FIG. 8B). ). At this time, the operator 200 can easily pinch the shock absorber 100 with one hand without help from someone.

As described above, according to the shock absorber 100 according to the present embodiment, since the belt-like body 10 can be deformed from the extended state to the wound state, the shock absorber 100 can be applied to a predetermined part of the human body such as a wrist. Can be wrapped around. In addition, since the belt 10 has a force that holds the wound state against the external force that deforms the wound state into the extended state, once the shock absorber 100 is wound around the wrist or the like, the winding is performed. The attached state can be maintained without external force.
Therefore, for example, the shock absorber 100 can be attached to a human body part such as a wrist and can be easily carried, and excellent portability can be exhibited. In addition, since it can be easily removed and used for buffering objects when necessary, it provides unprecedented convenience to workers who frequently use buffer members in, for example, the delivery industry. Can do.

  Next, a modification of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 9 is a view showing a modification of the shock absorber 100 according to the present embodiment.
In the shock absorber 100 shown in FIG. 9, the bag 20 includes two parts. That is, the main part 20-1 which accommodates the strip | belt-shaped body 10 mentioned above, and the strip | belt-shaped subpart 20-2 extended from the edge part of the main part 20-1 are provided.
The main portion 20-1 is formed of, for example, towel cloth or cloth as described above, and has a takeout port for the belt-like body 10 as shown in FIGS.
For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the sub-portion 20-2 is continuously connected to the end portion of the main portion 20-1, and is formed of towel cloth or cloth made of the same material as the main portion 20-1. The In this case, the main portion 20-1 and the sub-portion 20-2 can be formed by, for example, sewing the middle portion of the same bag and separating it to the left and right.

The sub part 20-2 may have a function as a buffer member, and in that case, the inside may be filled with sponge, cotton, urethane rubber, or the like.
Further, if the sub part 20-2 is formed of soft fibers such as towel cloth, it can be used instead of a handkerchief or a towel when an operator wipes sweat.

  The sub part 20-2 may be formed integrally with the main part 20-1 as shown in the example of FIG. 9, or may be formed independently of the main part 20-1. In the latter case, in order to make the main portion 20-1 and the sub-portion 20-2 detachable, an attachment such as a button or a hook may be provided at the connecting portion between them. If the sub-portion 20-2 is made detachable, for example, when it is used instead of a handkerchief, it can be exchanged and washed independently from the main portion 20-1, so the usability is improved in terms of hygiene. Moreover, since the subpart 20-2 from which a color and a design differ according to a user's clothes and preference can be easily replaced, decorativeness can be improved.

Moreover, as shown to FIG. 9 (B), the sub part 20-2 can be further wound around the outer side of the main part 20-1 in the wound state. And in the state which wound main part 20-1 and sub part 20-2 in this way, the adhesion part 23 provided in the terminal part of sub part 20-2, and the outer surface (sub part 20) of main part 20-1 -2 may be wound more than once, the outer surface of the sub-portion 20-2 may be contacted), so that the bonding portion 23 and the bonding portion 24 are bonded to each other. -2 end can be fixed.
The adhesive portions 23 and 24 can be repeatedly attached and detached, and are composed of, for example, Velcro (registered trademark).
Thus, since the terminal part of the sub part 20-2 can be fixed in the state where the main part 20-1 is wound around the wrist or the like, the sub part 20-2 does not get in the way, and the shock absorber 100 is carried. It becomes easy to do.

  In addition, as described above, the shock absorber 100 shown in FIG. 9 is formed with the band-like body 10 so that a gap is formed at both ends in the rolled state. Therefore, by pushing the wrist or the like into the gap, the shock absorber 100 can be easily fitted to the wrist or the like without pulling the band-like body 10 with both hands.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited only to said form, Various modifications are included.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the belt-like body 10 is accommodated in the bag 20 and a part (or all) of the bag 20 is used as a buffer member is given, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a cushioning member such as sponge or urethane / rubber may be directly attached to a part (or all) of the surface of the strip 10.

  Although the example which attaches the shock absorber 100 to a wrist is given in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is not limited to this, and for example, it may be used by attaching to any part of the human body such as the head, neck, shoulders, waist, and feet. Is possible.

  In addition, when the shock absorber 100 is wound around the wrist or the like, the inner surface of the bag 20 (the surface that contacts the human body) is made of a synthetic fiber that easily absorbs sweat in order to prevent sweat from accumulating on the contact surface with the human body. You may form with the material of. Moreover, you may make it accelerate | stimulate the evaporation of the sweat by perspiration by providing a rough part in a part of the bag 20.

  Although the color of the shock absorber 100 is arbitrary, for example, a luminous paint may be applied to the outer surface of the bag 20 to ensure the safety of night work.

  For example, in the delivery business, it can be used as a buffer between a load and a wall when the load is leaned against the wall.
