Description

  The present invention relates to a tool vest for storing a tool used outdoors or in a predetermined work, or for storing a buoyancy material for lifesaving.

In outdoor sports such as fishing, camping and hunting, various tools are required for the activities. Tool vests are widespread as clothes that store such tools and can be taken out immediately when needed. In other words, the left and right front and back bodies are provided with several pockets to secure a storage space for the tool. Similarly, there is a work vest that is used by workers to store working tools.
As a tool vest for fishing, a floating vest that can store various tools used for fishing while storing a buoyancy material for lifesaving in the event of a falling water is also widespread.

  Most of the weight of the tool vest body and the tool stored in the tool vest is supported by the shoulder portion of the wearer. However, if the tool vest body is in close contact with the wearer's body, the weight is dispersed in the contact portion between the inner side of the tool vest and the wearer. Therefore, the tool vest is provided with an adjustment belt on the shoulder portion and around the waist in order to closely contact the wearer's body.

  In Patent Document 1, in order to eliminate user dissatisfaction such as discomfort that the wearing tool is in close contact with the back and to improve the heating and cooling effect of the temperature holding medium, the contact surface with the human body side is formed in a mesh shape, In addition, a wearing tool in which an expansion / contraction part is provided in the vicinity of the storage part is disclosed.

In Patent Document 2, in order to solve the peculiar problem in the fishing vest that fishing line may be entangled with the adjustment tool of the adjustment belt, the adjustment belt is arranged so that the adjustment tool is located inside the cloth-like body. A fishing vest is disclosed.
Patent Document 3 also discloses a fishing garment that is devised with respect to an adjustment belt. Here, it is intended to improve the comfort at the time of wearing by providing a structure in which the belt length adjuster does not swing to the wearer's body.

  Tool vests represented by fishing vests have many pockets (storage spaces) as described above because both hands are free when the tools are stored. Due to the convenience of taking out and storing the tools, many tools are stored in the pockets provided in the front body.

As mentioned above, most of the weight of the tool vest body and the tool stored in the tool vest is supported by the wearer's shoulder, but if the tool vest body is in close contact with the wearer, the wearer It is possible to disperse the weight at the contact portion.
However, when the wearer swings the tool vest (for example, walks or bends forward), the contact area between the tool vest and the wearer leaves, and the distributed weight is applied to the shoulder. There are moments that end. Because it is instantaneous, even if its weight is small, it becomes an impact and the burden on the wearer is not small.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a technique capable of reducing the burden on the shoulder caused when the tool vest is swung to the wearer of the tool vest.

(First invention)
The first invention comprises a front body (10) covering the front part of the wearer's torso, a back body (20) covering the rear part of the wearer's body, a back body (20) and the front body (10). The present invention relates to a tool vest having a shoulder belt (30) positioned between and covering a shoulder portion of a wearer.
The rear body (20) includes a shoulder contact member (31) that contacts the shoulder portion of the wearer.
The shoulder belt (30) is fixed at one end to the front body (10) and passes above the contact surface with the wearer on the shoulder contact member (31). The other end is fixed to the expansion / contraction member (29) that is fixed to ().
The stretchable member (29) is formed such that the distance between the front body (10) and the back body (20) along the wearer's shoulder in the length direction of the shoulder belt (30) can be changed (FIG. 3).

(Glossary)
"Tool vest" is a vest equipped with a space and pockets for storing tools and buoyancy materials. In addition to outdoor vests used in outdoor sports, work vests used by workers to store work tools To be included.
The “wearer” is a person who wears the “tool vest” according to the present invention. If the “tool vest” is a fishing vest, it is an angler, and if the “tool vest” is a work vest, it is an operator.
“Shoulder belt (30)” means “fixed at the other end to the expansion / contraction member (29)”, such as when it is sewn so as not to move at all, or when it is fixed via another member In addition, as shown in the embodiment, the case where it is held via another member (expandable member (29)) is also included.
Further, “through the contact surface” means that the wearer is not contacted (see the embodiment described later).
The “shoulder contact member (31)” may be configured as a member independent of the front body (10) and the back body (20), or may be formed integrally with the back body (20).
The “expandable member (29)” is a member that expands or contracts in order to absorb the impact when the weight of the tool vest is an impact on the wearer. For example, a member that partially includes a belt-like stretchable body using synthetic rubber or that is entirely made of a belt-like stretchable body. A composite elastic body such as a coil spring, a damper, or a combination of a coil spring and a belt-like rubber may be used. In the embodiments described later, a structure that absorbs an impact by extending is adopted, but a rubber, a spring, a damper, and the like may be configured to absorb an impact by contracting.
The structure in which the “expandable member (29)” is fixed to the back body (20) or the shoulder belt (30) can be directly sewed or other members can be interposed.

(Function)
When the wearer wears the tool vest according to the present invention, the front body (10) of the tool vest is positioned on the front side of the upper body of the wearer, and the back body (20) is positioned on the rear side of the upper body. The shoulder contact member (31) of the shoulder belt (30) comes into contact with the wearer's shoulder. Then, the wearer attaches the tool vest to the body and stores the necessary tool in the tool vest.
When the wearer moves, when the tool vest loses its close contact with the front body (10), the weight of the tool vest supported on the contact surface by releasing the contact is shocking downward The load on the shoulder of the wearer via the shoulder belt (30). However, the downward force at this moment extends the time transmitted to the shoulder of the wearer by the expansion and contraction member (29) including the expansion and contraction member expanding and contracting. Therefore, the shocking downward force is slowly transmitted to the wearer's shoulder, and the burden on the wearer's shoulder is alleviated.

(Second invention)
The second invention also includes a front body (40) covering the front part of the wearer's torso, a back body (50) covering the rear part of the wearer's body, a back body (50) and the front body (40). And a tool vest having a shoulder belt (60) covering the shoulder portion of the wearer.
The front body (40) includes a shoulder contact member (61) that comes into contact with the shoulder portion of the wearer.
The shoulder belt (60) is fixed at one end to the back body (50) and passes above the contact surface with the wearer in the shoulder contact member (61). The other end is fixed to the expansion / contraction member (49) that is fixed to).
The “shoulder contact member (61)” may be configured as a member independent of the front body (40) and the back body (50), or may be formed integrally with the front body (40).

The elastic member (49) is formed so that the distance between the front body (40) and the back body (50) along the shoulder of the wearer in the length direction of the shoulder belt (60) can be changed. (See FIG. 5).

(Function)
When the wearer moves, the function is the same as that of the first invention at the moment when the adhesion with the back body (50) in the tool vest is lost.
It is suitable for use in a tool vest that often loses adhesion to the back body (50) when the wearer wears it, and a tool vest in which the back body (50) often becomes heavy.
In other words, the first invention is a tool vest that often loses its adhesion to the front body (10) when the wearer wears it, and a tool vest that the front body (10) often becomes heavy. It is suitable for adoption.

(Variation 1 of the first and second inventions)
More preferably, the elastic members (29, 49) in the first invention and the second invention are detachable from the front body and the rear body.
This is convenient when, for example, it is desired to replace the elastic members (29, 49) when they are deteriorated or to change the speed of shock absorption (such as elastic modulus) according to the wearer's preference.
The elastic members (29, 49) may be formed as a part of the shoulder belt, and the shoulder belt may be detachable from the front body and the back body. You may form so that attachment or detachment is possible by interposing a one-touch fastener or the like.

(Variation 2 of the first and second inventions)
The elastic members (29, 49) in the first invention and the second invention may be configured as separate members from the shoulder belt and fixed to the front body or the back body.

It is a sectional side view of the floating vest which concerns on 2nd embodiment of this invention.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The drawings used here are FIGS. 1 to 5. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment, and FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment.

1 and 2 show the entire fishing vest according to the first embodiment.
The fishing vest shown here is formed by connecting a pair of left and right front bodies 10, 10 and a single back body 20 to waist adjustment belts 13, 13 provided on both sides.
The front end edges of the front bodies 10, 10 can be freely opened and closed by fasteners. The front body 10, 10 and the back body 20 contain plate-like buoyancy materials formed of a material such as foamed plastic.
When the wearer (angler) wears, the front body side surface in the front body 10 is the front body side surface 11 and the rear body 20 surface on the wearer body side is the rear body side surface 21. And

As shown in FIG. 3A, the upper parts of the front body 10 and the back body 20 are connected by a shoulder belt 30.
The back body 20 is provided with a shoulder contact member 31 that is continuously formed from the upper portion thereof and that contacts the shoulder portion of the wearer.
The shoulder belt 30 includes a belt main body 33 that is folded from the upper part of the front body 10 through the upper part of the shoulder contact member 31 and at the upper part of the rear body 20.
One end of the belt body 33 is sewn and fixed to a surface (outer surface) opposite to the front side surface 11 in the upper part of the front body 10. Then, the front belt threader 36 having a “day” shape is inserted, penetrates the cylindrical shoulder upper member 34 in contact with the upper surface of the shoulder contact member 31, and reaches the upper part of the rear body 20.

At the upper part of the back body 20, a belt-passage fixing portion 29, which is an elastic member (a synthetic rubber plate), which is fixed at one end in a state where a belt-passage 35 is inserted after forming a “mouth” ring shape, is worn. Sewn around the back of the person's shoulder. The belt threading fixing portion 29 functions as a stretchable member that can change the distance between the front body 10 and the back body 20 along the shoulder of the wearer in the shoulder belt 30.
In the present embodiment, the belt threading fixing portion 29 as an elastic member is an elastic rubber belt that is about 1.5 times the length in the non-added state (a fabric knitted with a synthetic rubber yarn wrapped with a polyester yarn). Is adopted.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the belt main body 33 inserted through the upper shoulder member 34 from the front body 10 side and penetrating to the rear body 20 side is folded back by the rear belt loop 35, and again from the back body 20 side to the shoulder. The upper member 34 is penetrated. The belt main body 33 that has passed through the upper shoulder member 34 toward the front body 10 is passed through the front belt loop 36, and the end of the belt main body 33 is connected to the belt end holding portion 19 provided at the upper part on the front body side surface 11 side. Reach.
The length reaching the belt end holding portion 19 is made longer or shorter so as to fit (adhere) the wearer's physique.

  When the wearer wears the floating vest according to the present embodiment, the belt main body 33 in the shoulder belt 30 described above or the waist adjustment belts 13 and 13 are adjusted so as to be in close contact with the wearer's body. The front body side surface 11 of the front body 10, the rear body side surface 21 of the back body 20, and the lower surface of the shoulder contact member 31 are in close contact. Thus, the frictional force generated on the closely contacted surface supports the floating vest according to the present embodiment and the buoyancy body and tool housed in the floating vest.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the wearer bends forward, the front body side surface 11 of the front body 10 is separated from the wearer and exists between the front body side surface 11 and the wearer. The frictional force that had been lost is lost. As a result, a force for pushing down the front body 10 is generated. And the belt passing fixing | fixed part 29 which is an expansion-contraction member expands, and the force which pushes down the front body 10 is converted into the gentle thing which took time rather than an instantaneous thing. As a result, the impact of the force that is supported only by the rear body side surface 21 of the back body 20 and the lower surface of the shoulder contact member 31, particularly the force generated on the lower surface of the shoulder contact member 31, is reduced, and the load on the wearer is reduced. .

  The lower surface of the upper shoulder member 34 is in contact with the upper surface of the shoulder contact member 31, and a frictional force is generated. Friction force generated between the lower surface of the upper shoulder member 34 and the upper surface of the shoulder contact member 31 when a force in the direction in which the front body 10 and the rear body 20 are separated (for example, a force that pushes the front body 10 down) is generated. Resists the force. When a force that exceeds the frictional force is generated, the belt passing fixing portion 29, which is an elastic member, further extends, and the shoulder member 34 moves to the front body 10 side. Also at this time, the impact of the force generated on the lower surface of the shoulder contact member 31 is weakened, and the time to be transmitted to the wearer's shoulder is lengthened. Therefore, the shocking downward force is slowly transmitted to the wearer's shoulder, and the burden on the wearer's shoulder is alleviated.

  The belt threading fixing portion 29 is fixed by sewing. However, if a holding method in which the belt-passing fixing portion 29 in the back body 20 is detachable is adopted, the belt-passing fixing portion 29 that is an elastic member is replaced when it deteriorates, or the speed of shock absorption (such as elastic modulus) is changed. This is convenient when you want to change the setting according to the wearer's preference.

The second embodiment will be described based on FIG.
This second embodiment is worn between the front body 40 covering the front part of the wearer's body, the back body 50 covering the rear part of the wearer's body, the back body 50 and the front body 40 described above. The present invention relates to a tool vest that includes a shoulder belt 60 that covers a shoulder portion of a person.
A surface located on the body side of the wearer in the front body 40 is referred to as a front body side surface 41, and a surface located on the body side of the wearer in the back body 50 is referred to as a back body side surface 51. Upper portions of the front body 40 and the back body 50 are connected by a shoulder belt 60. In addition, the front body 40 is provided with a shoulder contact member 61 that is formed continuously from the upper part thereof and contacts the shoulder portion of the wearer.

The shoulder belt 60 includes a belt main body 63 that is a belt-like body made of cloth that is folded back from the upper portion of the front body 40 through the upper portion of the shoulder contact member 61 at the upper portion of the rear body 50.
One end of the belt main body 63 is sewn and fixed to a surface (outer surface) opposite to the front body side surface 11 in the upper part of the front body 40. Then, the front belt threader 36 having a “day” shape is inserted, penetrates through the cylindrical upper shoulder member 64 in contact with the upper surface of the shoulder contact member 61, and reaches the upper part of the rear body 50.

A belt loop fixing portion 49, which is an elastic member (synthetic rubber plate), which is fixed at one end while a front belt loop 65 having a ring-shaped "mouth" shape is inserted, is worn on the upper part of the front body 40. Sewn around the front of the person's shoulder. The belt threading fixing portion 49 functions as an elastic member that can change the distance between the front body 40 and the back body 50 along the shoulder of the wearer in the shoulder belt 60.
The above-described belt threading fixing portion 49 is also a stretchable rubber belt (a fabric knitted with a synthetic rubber thread wound with a polyester thread) that is about 1.5 times the length in the non-addition state, and functions as a stretchable member. To do.

The belt main body 63 inserted through the upper shoulder member 64 from the rear body 50 side and penetrating to the front body 40 side is folded back by the front belt loop 65 and passes through the upper shoulder member 64 again from the front body 40 side. The belt main body 63 that has passed through the upper shoulder member 64 toward the back body 50 is passed through the rear belt loop 66, and the end of the belt main body 63 is connected to a belt end holding portion 59 provided at the upper part on the rear body side 51 side. Reach.
The length reaching the belt end holding portion 59 is lengthened or shortened to fit (adhere) the wearer's physique.

When the wearer of the tool vest according to the present embodiment moves and the adhesiveness between the wearer and the back body 50 is lost, the belt-passage fixing portion 49 that is an elastic member extends, so that the back body 50 Make the force that pushes down slowly, not momentary, over time. As a result, the burden on the wearer's shoulder is not a shocking force but a weight applied gently.
It can be used for a tool vest used for sports or the like in which adhesion to the back body 50 is often lost when the wearer is wearing, and a tool vest in which the back body 50 is often heavier than the front body 40. It is suitable.

  As the elastic members in the first and second embodiments, belt-passing fixing portions 29 and 49 using rubber belts (fabrics knitted with synthetic rubber yarns wound with polyester yarns) are employed. Any stretchable member may be used as long as a part of the functioning member stretches. For example, the belt main bodies 33 and 63 and the belt loops 35 and 65 may function as expansion and contraction members that expand and contract.
