Description

  The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a back band on a back frame and a back band constituting the mounting structure.

  For example, in a backpack-type working machine such as a backpack-type spreader, backpack-type brush cutter, backpack-type blower, etc., a drive unit including a prime mover and the like is mounted on the backpack frame, and a pair of left and right backpack bands are placed on the top of the backpack frame The upper end is connected in a letter C shape, and the lower end is connected to the left and right of the lower part of the backpack frame.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is an attachment structure for attaching a backpack band to an upper portion of a backpack frame so that an upper end portion of the backpack band can freely rotate to an upper frame portion of the backpack frame. In this case, in a non-backpack state, the backpack band hangs down by its own weight along the front surface of the backpack frame. For this reason, there is not enough space to pass the arm between the backpack frame and the backpack band, and when carrying the back, the operator searches for the backband over the back, and there is a problem that it is difficult to carry the back. Further, if the backpack band is hanging, there is a problem that it does not look good when the backpack-type work machine is displayed and sold.

  Therefore, various proposals have been made in order to prevent the back band from hanging down and to form a wide space suitable for putting an arm or shoulder between the back band and the back frame.

  Patent Document 1 describes that the upper portion of the backpack band is semi-rigid. Patent Document 2 describes that an elastically deformable protrusion is provided on the upper end of the backpack frame so as to protrude toward the back of the operator, and that the upper end portion of the backband is fastened to the protrusion. Yes. Further, Patent Document 3 describes that an elastic member is added to lift an upper part of the backpack band in an arch shape when the backpack band is attached to the backpack frame.

  However, in the above-mentioned conventional one, the upper part of the backpack band is made semi-rigid, or the upper part of the backpack band is intended to be lifted by an elastic member. There is a drawback that comfort is lost due to contact, the elastic member itself is damaged by repeated use, or the elasticity of the elastic member is easily lowered.

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and a wide space suitable for putting an arm or a shoulder between the backpack band and the backpack frame is formed, and the shoulder of the worker is difficult to break. It is an object of the present invention to provide a back band mounting structure and a back band that can ensure the comfort of the part.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the attachment structure of the back negative band according to the present invention has the following configuration.

  The backpack band includes a band main body whose upper end is connected to the backpack frame, and a pad attached along the operator side of the band main body. The upper part of the band body and the upper part of the pad are separated from each other by a predetermined length. The upper end portion of the pad has a shape and strength capable of preventing the back band from falling down by contacting the back frame. Means for holding the upper end of the pad in contact with the back frame. When the back frame is in a non-back state, the upper part of the pad is held in a lifted state with the upper end of the pad as a fulcrum by the tension of the upper part of the band body and the rigidity of the upper part of the pad. (Claim 1).

  According to the present invention, the upper end of the pad is held in contact with the back frame by the contact state holding means. The upper part of the pad is held in a lifted state with the upper end of the pad as a fulcrum by the tension of the upper part of the band body and the rigidity of the upper part of the pad. Moreover, the lateral fall of the backpack band is prevented by the shape and strength of the upper end portion of the pad that is in contact with the backpack frame. For this reason, the space of sufficient width which a user can put an arm and a shoulder into between the backpack frame and the backpack band is ensured, and it is easy to carry a backpack frame.

  In addition, unlike the conventional proposal, the back band is not lifted only by the rigidity and elasticity of the member. Therefore, the pad attached along the operator side of the band body is not easily damaged by repeated use. It becomes easy to follow the operator's shoulder, and the comfort of the operator's shoulder can be secured.

  As a preferred embodiment, a hole is formed in the backpack frame, and the contact state holding means includes an auxiliary band attached to the upper end portion of the pad, and the auxiliary band is inserted into the hole to be predetermined. It can also be set as the aspect fixed to this location (Claim 2).

  As a preferred embodiment, the following mode can also be adopted (claim 3). A rod-shaped portion for attaching a back band is formed on the top of the back frame. The upper end portion of the band main body is wound around the rod-shaped portion and fastened with a connecting metal fitting. A winding band extending in a direction intersecting with the auxiliary band is attached to a front end portion of the auxiliary band. The auxiliary band inserted through the hole is wound around the rod-shaped portion, and the winding belt is wound around the band body and fixed so as to cover the connection fitting. According to this embodiment, the auxiliary band is fixed to the band main body by the winding band. In this fixed state, the connection fitting is covered with the wrapping band, so there is no concern that an operator's clothing will be caught by the connection fitting.

  As a preferred embodiment, the connection fitting may be fixed to the upper end portion of the band main body, and the connection fitting may have a slit for receiving the band main body from a lateral direction (Claim 4). . In this case, since the band main body can be connected to the rod-shaped portion simply by inserting the band main body into the slit, the band main body can be easily and quickly connected to the rod-shaped portion. In addition, it is possible to prevent the band main body from being unexpectedly detached from the slit by winding the belt around the band main body so as to cover the connecting metal fitting.

  On the other hand, the back band according to the present invention is a back band comprising a band main body whose upper end is connected to the back frame and a pad attached along the operator side of the band main body. The upper portion and the upper portion of the pad are separated from each other by a predetermined length, and the upper end portion of the pad has a shape and strength capable of preventing the backside band from falling down by contacting the backside frame. Means for holding the upper end of the pad in contact with the back frame, and in the non-back state of the back frame, the tension of the upper part of the band body and the rigidity of the upper part of the pad The upper portion of the pad is held in a lifted state with the upper end portion of the pad as a fulcrum (claim 5).

The pair of left and right rod-like portions 11, 11 are positioned in a C shape when viewed from the front-rear direction, and holes 12, 12 are opened below the respective rod-like portions 11, 11. These holes 12, 12 define the rod-like portions 11, 11 and use them as grips when moving, and contribute to reducing the weight of the back frame 4. The pair of left and right rod-like portions 11, 11 are centered in the left-right width direction of the upright portion 9, and their upper ends are connected to each other.

  The pair of left and right shoulder straps 5, 5 have upper ends connected to the pair of left and right rod-like portions 11, 11, respectively, and lower ends of the pair of left and right shoulder bands 5, 5 disposed at the left and right ends of the lower part of the upright portion 9. The lower attachment portions 13 and 13 are connected. In the present invention, the attachment manner to the lower attachment portions 13 and 13 is arbitrary. For example, S-shaped hooks 14 and 14 are attached to lower ends of the pair of left and right backside negative bands 5 and 5. The S-shaped hooks 14 and 14 can be connected by being hooked on the lower mounting portions 13 and 13.

  The pair of left and right backside negative bands 5 and 5 are symmetrical to each other so as to fit the shoulders of the operator, but there is no substantial difference in the configuration of at least the upper end and the lower end. Hereinafter, the description will be made on the assumption that the left and right are the same.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the back band 5 includes a band main body 15 and a pad 16 attached along the operator side of the band main body 15. The pad 16 is formed by covering a sponge body with a thickness of about 30 mm with a cloth, and has an appropriate cushioning property. Thereby, the total load of the back frame 4 and the airframe 3 applied to the band body 15 is dispersed to avoid applying an excessive load locally. The load applied to the back frame 4 is supported only by the band body 15, and the pad 16 is not involved in supporting the load. The upper portion 15a of the band body 15 and the upper portion 16a of the pad 16 are separated from each other by a predetermined length. As will be described later, this means that the upper portion 16a of the pad 16 is lifted by the tension of the upper portion 15a of the band body 15 and the rigidity of the upper portion 16a of the pad 16, and the shoulder of the operator This is because it follows the shape of the part.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the upper end portion 15 b of the band body 15 is connected to the backpack frame 4. Specifically, the upper end portion 15 b of the band main body 15 is wound around the rod-shaped portion 11 and fastened with a connecting metal fitting 17. The connection fitting 17 is fixed to the upper end portion 15b of the band main body 15 and has a slit 18 for receiving the band main body 15 from the lateral direction.

  As a preferable example of the connecting metal fitting, an S-shaped metal fitting 17 having an angular overall shape is shown. The S-shaped bracket 17 includes three parallel bars 19, 19, 19 and the slits 18, 18 whose openings are opposite to each other between the adjacent bars 19, 19 are vertically arranged in two stages. Prepare. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the slits 18 and 18 receive the band body 15 from the lateral direction. The upper end portion 15 b of the band body 15 is fixed to the bar 19 on one end side of the S-shaped bracket 17.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the S-shaped bracket 17 is inserted through the hole 12 from the front side to the rear side of the backpack frame 4 and pulled from the upper side of the rod-shaped portion 11 to the front side of the backpack frame 4. Turned. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the upper portions 15 a of the band body 15 are alternately inserted into the two-stage slits 18 and 18 from the lateral direction, the connection of the band body 15 to the rod-shaped portion 11 is performed. Is completed (see FIG. 6).

  As shown in FIG. 3, an auxiliary band 20 is attached to the upper end portion 16 b of the pad 16 as means for holding the upper end portion 16 b in contact with the backpack frame 4. The auxiliary band 20 has a lateral width that can be inserted into the hole 12. The auxiliary band 20 is inserted into the hole 12 from the front side to the rear side of the backpack frame 4 and fixed at a predetermined location. As a result, the upper end portion 16b of the pad 16 is maintained in contact with the backpack frame 4.

  The abutting state holding means abuts the upper end portion 16b of the pad 16 against the standing portion 9 of the back frame 4 so that the upper end portion 16b of the pad 16 does not fall from a predetermined position. Any material can be used as long as it can be held in contact. Therefore, it is good also as an aspect which forms an engaging part in the said upper end part 16b of the said pad 16, forms an engaging receiving part in the said standing part 9, and engages them mutually.

  The upper end portion 16b of the pad 16 has a shape and strength capable of preventing the backside band 5 from falling sideways by coming into contact with the backside frame 4 (the standing portion 9). Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper end portion 16 b of the pad 16 is substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the pad 16 so as not to enter the hole 12. The horizontal width is larger than that of the hole 12 and has a predetermined rigidity. The auxiliary band 20 is fixed to a substantially central position of the left and right widths of the upper end portion 16 b of the pad 16.

  As shown in FIG. 1, at least the upper portion 16 a of the pad 16, that is, at least a portion ahead of the separation point P from the band body 15, the upper end portion 16 b of the pad 16 and the standing frame 4 are raised. Using the contact portion C with the portion 9 as a fulcrum, the band body 15 is held up by the tension of the upper portion 15a of the band body 15 and the rigidity of the upper portion 16a of the pad 16. Accordingly, at least the upper portion 16a of the pad 16 needs to have rigidity sufficient to enable the floating, but it is sufficient if the upper portion 16a of the pad 16 is not easily bent. As shown in FIG. 3, a winding band 21 extending in a direction intersecting with the auxiliary band 20 is attached to the distal end portion of the auxiliary band 20. The winding band 21 is for holding the upper end portion 16b of the pad 16 in contact with the backpack frame 4 by fixing the auxiliary band 20 at the predetermined position. The winding band 21 is provided with a fastener 22 for maintaining the winding state after winding. As the fastener 22, an appropriate type such as a button type or a surface fastener can be adopted.

  In the present embodiment, the auxiliary band 20 is fixed to the band body 15 by the winding band 21 with a fastener. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the auxiliary band 20 is inserted into the hole 12 from the front side to the rear side of the backpack frame 4 and then, as shown in FIG. 7, Wrapped up. Then, the winding band 21 is wound around the S-shaped bracket 17 in the state of FIG. 6 coupled to the band body 15 and fixed by the fastener 22 (see FIG. 8).

  According to the attachment structure of the backside band according to the present embodiment, the upper end portion 16b of the pad 16 abuts against the backside frame 4 by the auxiliary band 20 and the winding band 21, as shown in FIG. Is held in the state. The upper portion 16a of the pad 16 is held in a lifted state by the tension of the upper portion 15a of the band body 15 and the rigidity of the upper portion 16a of the pad 16. In addition, the lateral fall of the backpack band 5 is prevented by the shape and strength of the upper end portion 16b of the pad 16 in contact with the backpack frame 4. For this reason, a sufficiently large space S in which a user can easily put his arms and shoulders is secured between the backpack frame 4 and the backband 5. Therefore, it is easy to carry the back frame 4. In addition, since the back strap band 5 is held in a state where it rises forward with respect to the back frame 4, the design property at the time of exhibition sale is also good. Moreover, as in the conventional proposal, the back negative band 5 is not raised only by the rigidity and elasticity of the member, and the tension of the band main body 15 is also used, so that it is difficult to be damaged by repeated use. Moreover, the comfort of the operator's shoulder in a backpack state can be ensured.

  According to the present embodiment, the following effects are also exhibited.

  Since both the band main body 15 and the auxiliary band 20 are connected to the rod-shaped portion 11 so as to be movable in the left-right direction of the backpack frame 4, the left-right position of the backband 5 in the lifted state is Fine adjustment can be made within the width. Therefore, it can be carried more easily.

  Since the configuration of the back band 5 is simple and can be easily attached to the back frame 4 without requiring a tool, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, since the back frame 4 itself is not different from the conventional frame, this also contributes to a reduction in manufacturing cost.

  Since the back strap 5 can be easily attached and detached, it is also convenient when an operator replaces the back strap.

  Since the band body 15 can be connected to the rod-shaped portion 11 simply by inserting the band body 15 into the slits 18, 18 of the S-shaped bracket 17 from the side, the band body 15 can be connected to the rod-shaped portion 11. Connection is easy and quick.

  Since the S-shaped metal fitting 17 is covered and covered by the winding band 21, there is no concern that an operator's clothing will be caught by the S-shaped metal fitting 17. Further, the band belt 15 is wound around and fixed to the band body 15 so as to cover the S-shaped bracket 17, so that the band body 15 can be expected from the slit 18 of the S-shaped bracket 17. Prevents falling off.
