Description

  The present invention relates to a shoulder pad, and more particularly to a shoulder pad that can be worn separately from clothes, and further to a shoulder pad that is devised so as not to deviate from the shoulder position when worn.

  Conventionally, a shoulder pad is used for the purpose of correcting the body shape or for the purpose of protecting the shoulder. For example, it is also used in suits, women's underwear, coats, etc. to express the silhouette lines of the shoulders beautifully. In addition to contact sports such as American football, lacrosse, and hockey, it is also used as a protective device to reduce the impact on the shoulder when carrying heavy items such as carrying a shrine on the shoulder. .

  As described above, the following techniques have been proposed as shoulder pads used for correcting the body shape or used as a shoulder protector as described above.

  In Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-176237), a shoulder band formed by integrally joining an elastic belt-like band that presses around the shoulder and the side with elasticity and a pad body for protecting the shoulder with a cushion in a ring shape. Pads have been proposed.

  In Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-043980), the back surface is formed as a concave curved surface portion, the surface is formed as a middle-high thick portion at approximately the center, and the peripheral edge is formed in a convex shape with a thin portion. In addition, a shoulder pad is proposed in which at least a part or the whole of the front surface or the back surface is formed of a mesh nonwoven fabric or a mesh knitted fabric.

  In Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-012831), a shoulder silhouette line can be expressed, and the shoulder has a good functionality with respect to its movement when a leaning posture is taken, and a comfortable wearing feeling can be obtained. Proposes padded clothing.

JP 2004-176237 A JP 2004-043980 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-012831

  The shoulder pad is used for the purpose of correcting the user's body shape as described above, but in many cases, the shoulder pad is attached to the inside of the shoulder portion of the clothes. However, when wearing clothes without a shoulder pad, the body shape is so different that the silhouette may not be preferable. For example, even when a woman wears a male costume (such as men's clothing), a shoulder pad may be attached to the worn clothing to represent the adult male's body shape (such as shoulder width). However, since there are many clothes for men that do not have shoulder pads, the types of clothes that can be worn are limited. Furthermore, there are cases where a shoulder pad is also required for a man with a shoulder shape, but if his favorite clothes do not have a shoulder pad, the willingness to purchase may be reduced.

  Therefore, in the present invention, in order to solve the problem that the types of wearable clothes are limited, it is a first object to provide a shoulder pad that can be worn separately from clothes.

  Also, when wearing clothes with shoulder pads attached, the degree of freedom around the shoulders is reduced. Therefore, there are cases where the functionality (followability, etc.) with respect to every movement of the user wearing clothes is taken into consideration. For example, when looking at junior high and high school students' school clothes, they may purchase large school uniforms in anticipation of wearing for about three years. At that time, the shoulder pads on the large school uniforms are displaced from the wearer's shoulder position. Sometimes it is. Also, when carrying heavy objects, the shoulder pad may be damaged if the shoulder pad is displaced from the shoulder position. In other words, the reality is that it is still not enough even if it takes into consideration the point of correcting the body shape (such as making the silhouette look beautiful) or protecting the shoulder. In order to solve the deficiencies, the shoulder pads are also used when using various shoulder pads (for example, a large shoulder pad, a small shoulder pad, and other various shoulder pads). It is necessary to devise so as not to deviate from the shoulder position.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is a second object to provide a shoulder pad that is devised so as not to deviate from the shoulder position when worn, and that provides a comfortable wearing feeling.

  In order to solve at least one of the above problems, in the present invention, the shoulder pad main body is a shoulder pad configured separately from clothing.

  That is, a shoulder pad to be worn on a user's shoulder, comprising at least a shoulder pad body having a curved lower surface covering the shoulder part of the user, preferably from the shoulder well, Provided is a shoulder pad that is mounted by pivotally supporting a base portion that exists on the neck side of a user and whose tip side is freely swingable in a horizontal direction.

  The shoulder pad can be formed by pressure-molding a synthetic resin foam such as silicon rubber or urethane foam, or by quilting a laminated nonwoven fabric. At that time, the shoulder pad may be formed by dividing the material into a core part and a covering part covering the core part, or may be formed by changing the material only in the part contacting the shoulder part. For example, if a part of the part that contacts the shoulder part is made of silicon rubber and a shoulder pad is formed using a non-woven fabric such as polyester in the other areas, the part that comes into close contact with the shoulder part is stabilized and ventilated. Because of its superior nature, it can be used as a cool shoulder pad.

  In addition, it is desirable that the overall shape of the shoulder pad is designed in consideration of ergonomic aspects. For example, by forming the front part with the collarbone of the wearer thinner than the rear part, and forming the hollow part of the scapula part of the back shoulder to be thick and large, preventing the shoulder pad from slipping backward, etc. Is also possible. Furthermore, according to the user's body shape, it is possible to provide a shoulder pad that can provide a more comfortable wearing feeling by forming a shoulder pad having a shape suitable for each of the right shoulder and the left shoulder. .

  It is desirable that the base of the shoulder pad main body be pivotally supported with respect to a shoulder strap in a user's clothes. For example, it can be pivotally supported on a shoulder strap (strap) attached to a user's chest wearing product (bra, correction underwear, chest supporter, etc.), thereby making the tip side swingable horizontally. be able to. As a method of attaching the clothes to the shoulder strap, there are means such as hook fastening, button fastening, pin fastening, sewing, etc., but considering the convenience of attachment and detachment, an uneven specification hook is desirable. In consideration of use in underwear, plastic hooks that are comfortable to touch and are often used for underwear are particularly desirable, not hooks used in jumpers, denim, leather products, and the like. By using a hook or the like for attachment, it can be swung in a horizontal plane, and the shoulder strap of the clothes will not slide in the front-rear direction of the body. Therefore, the possibility that the shoulder pad body moves in the front-rear direction due to the movement of the user's body can be eliminated. Moreover, the shoulder pad concerning this invention can contain the shoulder strap (strap) attached to clothing as a component. In this case, the shoulder pad is composed of a shoulder strap (strap) and a shoulder pad body pivotally supported by the shoulder strap (strap).

  Moreover, it is desirable to provide a belt-like fixing portion that is wound around and fixed to the arm portion of the user on the distal end side (that is, the shoulder tip side) existing on the side opposite to the base portion in the shoulder pad main body. You may comprise the said belt-shaped fixing | fixed part and a shoulder pad separately. When configured separately, hooks, buttons, etc. may be used to connect the belt-like fixing part and the shoulder pad, but considering the convenience of attachment and detachment and the feeling of foreign objects on the shoulder It is desirable that the belt-like fixing portion is integrally formed by sewing to the shoulder pad. Furthermore, the belt connected to the fixed portion may be formed of an elastic band or the like, but it is more preferable that the length can be adjusted so that it can follow any body shape. For example, the length may be adjusted by using hooks divided into several stages, triglide, or the like. With such a configuration, it is possible to adjust the tightening force on the arm and to follow the vertical movement of the shoulder pad.

Since the shoulder pad configured as described above can swing in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, there are less restrictions on the shape of the shoulder pad to be used. Various shoulder pads can be used, such as a small shoulder pad for children, a large shoulder pad for adults, and a shoulder pad formed according to the shape of a muscled male shoulder. In that case, it is desirable to use a shoulder pad material that is inexpensive, cool, lightweight, and excellent in shape retention, so that it can be used even when worn on short-sleeved clothing in summer. A refreshing feeling can be obtained, and a shoulder pad that provides a comfortable wearing feeling can be provided.

  In the shoulder pad according to the present invention, the shoulder pad main body having a lower surface formed in a curved shape covering at least a user's shoulder tip portion is configured separately from clothes. Therefore, there is no restriction on the types of clothes that can be worn, and it is possible to wear favorite clothes even under various circumstances. For example, even when changing from a garment with a shoulder pad to a garment without a shoulder pad, by wearing the shoulder pad of the present invention, various garments can be worn without breaking the silhouette line.

  In addition, the base of the shoulder pad body may be pivotally supported on a shoulder strap (strap) attached to clothing such as a chest wearing product (bra, correction underwear, chest supporter, etc.) worn by the user. Even in this case, the tip end side can be made to swing in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, the front end side of the shoulder pad main body (the shoulder tip side when worn) is configured to be wound around and fixed to the user's arm. With this configuration, when worn, the front end side of the shoulder pad main body can swing not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction. In other words, the functionality (followability, etc.) for every movement has increased, and even in unexpected cases such as unintentionally playing sports, the shoulder pad does not deviate from the shoulder position and follows intense movements etc. It becomes possible.

  In addition, in the shoulder pad of the present invention, the shoulder tip side can swing in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and the restriction on the shape of the shoulder pad to be used is reduced. A shoulder pad that fits can be selected. That is, even if shoulder pads having various shapes are used, an ideal silhouette line can be expressed, and a comfortable wearing feeling can be obtained.

The perspective view of the shoulder pad concerning this Embodiment AA cross-sectional perspective view of the shoulder pad body Perspective view of shoulder pad body Front view of upper body showing shoulder pad The front view of the upper body which shows the state which mounted | wore the shoulder pad concerning other embodiment

  Hereinafter, a shoulder pad according to the present embodiment and a use state in which the shoulder pad is worn will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a shoulder pad according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is an AA cross-sectional perspective view of the shoulder pad main body. 3 is a perspective view of the shoulder pad body, FIG. 4 is a front view of the upper body showing a state where the shoulder pad is worn, and FIG. 5 is a view of the upper body showing a state where the shoulder pad according to another embodiment is worn. It is a front view.

  The shoulder pad according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is formed using a shoulder pad main body 11 having a curved shape capable of covering at least a user's shoulder tip, and is configured separately from clothes. The shoulder pad main body 11, the strap 12, and the belt 16 are configured, and the base portion existing on the neck side of the user in the shoulder pad main body 11 is pivoted by a hook or the like at the shaft support portion 13 with respect to the strap 12. I support.

  The shaft support portion 13 is swingable in the horizontal direction at the distal end side (shoulder side when worn) with respect to the strap 12 attached to the clothes of the chest mounting portion 22 (corrected underwear, etc.) of the user. Is attached. There are means such as a hook and a button as a method of attaching the shaft support portion 13, but considering the convenience of attachment / detachment, a plastic hook that is often used for underwear or the like is desirable. By using a hook for attachment, the strap 12 does not slide in the front-rear direction of the body, and the possibility that the strap 12 hinders the movement of the user's body is reduced. Further, the length of the strap 12 can be adjusted by using a triglide 14 or the like. By comprising in that way, the wearing | wearing without a feeling of pressure with respect to a chest is attained. Further, a loop-shaped hook 15 is provided to connect the strap 12 and the chest mounting portion 22 (such as correction underwear). However, the connection method is not limited to the loop hook 15. Concave and convex hooks and buttons may be used.

  A belt 16 is provided on the distal end side of the shoulder pad main body as a fixing portion that is wound around and fixed to the arm portion of the user. The belt 16 and the shoulder pad 11 may be configured separately, but in FIG. It is because the convenience of attachment and detachment improves by comprising it integrally, and the foreign material feeling with respect to a shoulder can be eliminated. Further, the belts 16 which are wound around and fixed to the arm portion are connected by a hook 17 having an uneven shape. The connection method for this portion is not limited to the hook, but a button or a triglide whose length can be adjusted may be used. By configuring the length to be adjustable, it is possible to adjust the tightening force on the arm portion, and it is possible to follow the vertical swing of the shoulder pad 11 without causing discomfort.

  FIG. 2 shows an AA cross-sectional perspective view of the shoulder pad body. The shoulder pad main body shown in this embodiment is divided into a shoulder pad core portion 21 and a covering portion covering the core portion 21. As a material for the shoulder pad, a material such as silicon rubber, urethane foam, or non-woven fabric can be appropriately set according to the purpose of use or the body shape. Further, the covering portion and the core portion may be integrally formed. For example, when the covering portion and the core portion are all formed integrally with a nonwoven fabric such as polyester, a cooler, cheaper and lighter shoulder pad can be provided.

  Further, the shoulder pad main body may be formed in a shape in which the center is cut out as shown in FIG. Doing so saves more materials, reduces manufacturing costs, and reduces weight, leading to better wear. In addition, in summer and the like, it is possible to prevent stuffiness from the shoulder pad.

  FIG. 4 is a front view (Example 1) showing a state (upper body 21) with a shoulder pad attached. By attaching the shoulder pad 11 to the chest mounting portion 22 (corrected underwear, etc.) that is a clothing worn by the user, the user can flexibly cope with the horizontal and vertical swings of the user. Become. The chest mounting portion 22 may be a bra or inner wear for women, and even in the case of men, a weak body may wear correction underwear to express a muscular body. Kinds are possible. Further, the same effect can be obtained when the shoulder pad is attached not only to the chest attachment part but also to the abdomen attachment part (for example, an abdomen). In that case, the belt attached to the abdomen attachment part may be formed a little longer in order to connect with the shoulder pad. In other words, if a shoulder pad is used, it is possible to provide a shoulder pad that fits properly to the shoulder and does not slip, and a comfortable wearing feeling can be obtained even when wearing various clothes from season to season. . In the present embodiment, the shoulder pad and the chest mounting portion 22 can be provided as a set.

  In the shoulder pad according to the present embodiment, the shoulder pad can be swung in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and the restriction on the shape of the shoulder pad to be used is reduced. Therefore, various types of shoulder pads can be selected.

As a further application example of the shoulder pad, the shoulder pad may be a shoulder pad formed by using a shoulder pad body 51 having a shape that protrudes laterally and upward from the shoulder as shown in FIG. For example, in the case of wearing clothes created by expressing a costume of an anime character, a shoulder pad having a shape that protrudes in the vertical direction and / or in the front / rear / right / left direction from the shoulder may be required. Conventionally, in the case of such a shoulder pad, it is difficult to attach to the inside of the shoulder portion of the clothes, and since the degree of freedom in swinging when worn is equal to nothing, the function for movement It has been difficult to request the performance (followability). However, in the case of taking the embodiment of the present invention, the swinging in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction becomes free, so the restriction on the shape of the shoulder pad to be used becomes very small. For this reason, it is possible to provide a shoulder pad that can provide a comfortable wearing feeling regardless of the shape of a favorite garment for a favorite season, regardless of location. The shoulder pad according to this embodiment is an embodiment in which an uneven portion forming a silhouette is provided on the surface side of the shoulder pad main body.

The non-displaceable shoulder pad that can be worn separately from the garment according to the present invention enables a combination of shoulder pads of various shapes and correction underwear, etc., so that not only shoulder pad manufacturers but also underwear manufacturers can cooperate with each other. Further increase and lead to activation. In addition, clothes created by expressing anime character costumes can be worn, leading to further activation of the costume industry and other possibilities for further growth in the anime and movie industries.
