Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail in accordance with the embodiments shown in the drawings for carrying out the present invention.
In the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, 1 is a water absorption pad, and the water absorption pad 1 is a chin strap 2a or a forehead portion 2b of a helmet 2 as an example of an attachment object 2. It is a water absorption pad that can be attached to the helmet.

The water absorption pad 1 is composed of a water absorption pad main body 3 and an attachment means 4 capable of attaching the water absorption pad main body 3 to the helmet 2.

As shown in FIG. 5, for example, the water absorption pad main body 3 has a water absorption material 5 formed of a strip-shaped high water absorption fiber having a rectangular planar shape, and a long plate-shaped water absorption material 5 outside the water absorption material 5. It is provided so as to include the whole of the above, and all or a part thereof has water permeability and is composed of a cover member 6 made of a water-absorbing and quick-drying cloth. The shape and length of the cover member 6 are formed in a long plate shape substantially corresponding to those of the water absorbing material 5.

In the present embodiment, the water absorbing material 5 is formed by forming a sheet having high water absorption such as a non-woven fabric in a substantially rectangular shape, but for example, one or both long sides may have an arbitrary shape such as an arc shape or a corrugated shape. Can be done. The water absorbing material 5 uses a material that can absorb water to some extent and evaporate the absorbed water.

In the preferred embodiment, the cover member 6 is formed by using a water-absorbing quick-drying cloth 7 having a square shape slightly larger than the water-absorbing material 5 and a metal-deposited cloth 8 having substantially the same shape as the water-absorbing quick-drying cloth 7. Has been done. The outer peripheral portion of the metal-deposited fabric 8 having substantially the same shape as the water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7 is sewn, and the water-absorbing material 5 is contained therein.

In the present embodiment, the cover member 6 has a bag shape and the water absorbing material 5 is provided inside the cover member 6, but it may be provided outside the water absorbing material 5 so as to be in direct contact with the skin of the human body during use. For example, cover members 6 may be provided on the front surface and the back surface of the water absorbing material 5, respectively.

Further, in the present embodiment, the cover member 6 is composed of the water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7 and the metal-deposited fabric 8, but the cover member 6 may be composed of only the water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7, and the metal-deposited fabric 8 may be used. When has the function of the water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 7, the metal-deposited fabric 8 may be used as the water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 7, and the cover member 6 may be formed by using only the metal-deposited fabric 8.

As the water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7, a fabric that can quickly absorb moisture such as sweat by capillarity using fibers such as polyester and diffuse it to the surface to evaporate is used. In the present embodiment, the fabric is used. , It is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front. The water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7 is used on the front side of the water-absorbing pad main body 3.

The metal-deposited fabric 8 is made by depositing a metal such as titanium on a general cloth or the like by sputtering or the like, and in the present embodiment, the metal-deposited fabric 8 is used on the back surface side of the water absorption pad main body 3. There is.

By using such a metal-deposited fabric 8 for the cover member 6, moisture can be quickly permeated through the water absorbing material 5. Further, when the metal-deposited fabric 8 comes into contact with the skin, a cool feeling can be obtained and the heat conductivity is good, so that the moisture absorbed by the water absorbing material 5 can be quickly evaporated, and the effect of vaporization cooling is also obtained. Obtainable.

By providing such a water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7 on one surface (front surface) and providing the metal-deposited fabric 8 on the other surface (back surface), it can be used reversibly and water absorption can be achieved in any of the fabrics. The water absorbed in the material 5 can be quickly evaporated, and the effect of vaporization cooling can also be obtained.

Specifically, for example, a case where a silica gel sheet is used for the cover member 6 and a case where the water-absorbing quick-drying cloth 7 and the metal-deposited cloth 8 are used for the cover member 6 are compared.

When the silica gel sheet (n = 2) is used for the cover member 6, the surface temperature is, for example, 37.0 ° C. and 36.8 ° C. with respect to the outside air temperature of 35.4 ° C., while the water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7 is used. When used, the temperature was 36.2 ° C, and when the metal-deposited fabric (titanium) 8 was used, the temperature was 36.1 ° C. As described above, the surface temperature is lower than that of the silica gel sheet used for a general water absorption pad or the like, and a cool feeling can be obtained.

When these materials were moistened for 2 minutes (for example, the outside air temperature was 37.1 ° C.), the surface temperature of the materials was 34.5 ° C. and 33.7 ° C. for the silica gel sheet, while the water-absorbent quick-drying cloth 7 was used. In this case, the temperature was 32.7 ° C, and when the metal-deposited fabric (titanium) 8 was used, the temperature was 31.5 ° C. The amount of water absorbed was 2.61 g for the silica gel sheet, and 4.00 g for the water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7 and the metal-deposited fabric 8. When the water-absorbing quick-drying fabric 7 and the metal-deposited fabric 8 are used as the cover member 6 in this way, it is possible to quickly absorb water and evaporate the water to lower the surface temperature of the cover member 6 by the heat of vaporization. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a cool feeling, it is difficult to be saturated, and even a large amount of water (sweat) can be absorbed.

Inside the cover member 6 or the water absorbing material 5, a shape holding material 9 such as a resin, a non-woven fabric, a cloth, or a metal that can hold the shape of the water absorbing pad body 3 to some extent is provided. By providing such a shape-retaining material 9 inside the cover member 6, for example, when it is attached to a chin strap, it is held in a deformed state in the shape of a chin and can be fitted tightly.

Regarding the shape-retaining material 9, when the cover member 6 and the water-absorbing material 5 have a function of holding the shape, the cover member 6 and the water-absorbing material 5 may also serve as the shape-retaining material 9.

The mounting means 4 includes a plurality of strip-shaped mounting members 10 fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the water absorption pad main body 3 so as to be a pair, and a pair of mounting members 10 fixed to the protruding end portion side of the mounting member 10. It is composed of a connecting member 11 that connects the ends of the above.

In the present embodiment, two mounting members 10 are provided on the short side side of the rectangular water absorption pad main body 3, that is, a pair, and connecting members 11 are provided at the protruding ends thereof. .. In the present embodiment, the connecting member 11 is a hook-and-loop fastener, a male hook-and-loop fastener is provided as the mounting member 10 at the end of one mounting member 10, and a female surface is provided at the end of the other mounting member 10. A fastener is provided as the mounting member 10 to connect the paired mounting members 10.

When the water absorption pad 1 of the present invention is used, the mounting member 10 of the mounting means 4 is passed through the chin strap through hole of the chin cup or the like mounted on the chin strap 2a of the helmet 2 which is the mounting object 2, and the mounting member 10 is used. By connecting the connecting members 11 of the above, the helmet 2 is attached to the chin strap 2a for use.
