Description

The present invention relates to a disaster response type life-saving garment to be worn in the event of a disaster such as a tsunami.

Conventionally, a life-saving garment for floating the wearer on water and positioning the head on the water surface has been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The life-saving garment of Patent Document 1 includes a body portion and a lower limb cover integrally formed with the body portion, and is formed in a bag shape as a whole. In this life-saving garment, a large amount of air is interposed in the gap between the torso and lower limb covers and the wearer's body to prevent the wearer from sinking due to the buoyancy.

Jitsukaisho 50-23999

In the life-saving garment of Patent Document 1, a large amount of air is interposed in the life-saving garment to obtain buoyancy. However, in this life-saving garment, since the air can move inside the life-saving garment, the way the air collects in the life-saving garment may differ depending on the body shape of the wearer, and there is a risk that sufficient buoyancy cannot be obtained in the lower limbs. There is. Therefore, when the life-saving garment of Patent Document 1 is worn at the time of a disaster such as a tsunami, there is a risk that the wearer's lower limbs may hit an obstacle in the water.

Therefore, the present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a disaster response type life-saving garment that can easily avoid the danger of the wearer's lower limbs hitting an obstacle in the water.

The disaster response type life-saving garment according to the present invention has a torso having a first buoyant body and a shape covering a human torso, and a second buoyant body, which is connected to the torso or has the torso. It is provided with an integrally formed lower limb cover.

According to the present invention, the upper body is covered by the body and the lower body is covered by the lower limb cover. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the wearer's waistline and lower limbs from being torn and the body temperature to be rapidly lost. Moreover, since the torso covers the torso from the shoulders to the torso, it is difficult to remove it, and since the lower limb cover is connected to this torso or the torso and the lower limb cover are integrally formed, the lower limbs are also affected by water flow such as a tsunami. It is possible to prevent the cover from coming off. Further, since the lower limb cover has the second buoyant body, the second buoyant body does not come out from the lower limb cover. Therefore, the lower limbs of the wearer are in a floating state due to the buoyancy of the second buoyancy body. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the wearer's lower limbs to hit an obstacle in the water during a disaster such as a tsunami, and it becomes easier to avoid the danger of the wearer's lower limbs hitting an obstacle in the water.

In the above configuration, the lower limb cover may be a pants type configured separately from the torso. The disaster response type life-saving garment may include a connecting means for connecting the torso and the lower limb cover.

According to this configuration, since the lower limb cover is a pants type configured separately from the torso, the wearer can easily wear the lower limb cover like trousers. This makes it possible for anyone to quickly put it on within minutes of the arrival of the tsunami. Further, since the lower limb cover is connected to the torso by the connecting means, it is possible to prevent the pants-shaped lower limb cover from coming off due to a water flow such as a tsunami.

In the above configuration, the connecting means is a surface having a first surface fastener piece provided on the body portion and a second surface fastener piece provided on the lower limb cover and fixed to the first surface fastener piece. It may be composed of fasteners. The second surface fastener piece may be fixed to the waist circumference of the body portion by being fixed to the first surface fastener piece.

According to this configuration, the lower limb cover can be connected to the torso simply by attaching the second hook-and-loop fastener piece to the first surface fastener piece, so that the lower limb cover can be attached to the torso even in an emergency such as a tsunami. It can be easily combined. This makes it possible for anyone to quickly put it on within minutes of the arrival of the tsunami. Further, since the hook-and-loop fastener can be wrapped around the body like a belt, it is possible to more reliably prevent the lower limb cover from coming off due to a water flow such as a tsunami.

In the above configuration, the body may be configured to open forward. The hook-and-loop fastener may be configured so that the front surface portion of the body portion can be maintained in a closed state.

According to this configuration, the front portion of the body portion can be opened, so that the body portion can be easily worn. Further, the wearer can close the front part of the torso by using the hook-and-loop fastener for connecting the torso and the lower limb cover, so that the number of members for closing the front part of the torso is suppressed. In addition to being able to do this, the torso can be easily dressed even in an emergency such as a tsunami. This makes it possible for anyone to quickly put it on within minutes of the arrival of the tsunami.

In the above configuration, the lower limb cover may have a shoulder strap.

According to this configuration, the shoulder strap can be hung on the wearer's shoulder, so that the lower limb cover is less likely to come off from the wearer's lower limbs. Further, when the shoulder belt is made of stretchable rubber, the shoulder belt expands and contracts, so that it is not necessary to adjust the length of the shoulder belt by using a buckle or the like according to the wearer's body shape. For this reason, even in an emergency such as a tsunami, the length of the shoulder strap can be easily adjusted according to the wearer's body shape, so anyone can quickly wear it within a few minutes until the tsunami arrives. It becomes possible to do.

In the above configuration, the first buoyancy body may have a front buoyancy body arranged on the front surface portion of the body portion and a rear surface buoyancy body arranged on the rear surface portion of the body portion. The front buoyancy body may have a larger buoyancy than the rear buoyancy body.

According to this configuration, the front buoyancy body arranged on the front surface portion of the body portion has a larger buoyancy than the rear surface buoyancy body arranged on the rear surface portion of the body portion. Buoyancy is generated so that it is located above the rear buoyancy body. For this reason, the wearer's body tends to be in a state in which the front side faces upward, so that the face can be easily exposed to the surface of the water at all times, and suffocation can be easily avoided.

In the above configuration, the second buoyant body may be arranged in front of the lower limb cover.

According to this configuration, the lower limb cover creates buoyancy so that the front side faces upward in water, so that the wearer has the upper body and the lower body facing forward while the front side of the wearer's body is facing upward. It becomes easy to bend in the shape of. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the wearer's lower limbs to hit obstacles in the water during a disaster such as a tsunami.

In the above configuration, the second buoyant body may be detachably provided on the lower limb cover.

According to this configuration, the wearer can remove the second buoyant body from the lower limb cover, so that the second buoyant body can be removed from the lower limb cover to walk or swim in the water.

In the above configuration, the lower limb cover may be integrally configured with the torso. The body may be configured to open forward. The disaster response type life-saving garment may have an opening / closing hook-and-loop fastener that keeps the front surface closed.

According to this configuration, since the torso is configured to open forward, the wearer can wear clothes through the front opening portion of the torso even if the lower limb cover and the torso are integrally formed. Further, since the front part of the body part can be maintained in a closed state by the opening / closing hook-and-loop fastener, even if the front part of the body part is configured to open forward, it is possible to suppress tearing around the waistline of the wearer. At the same time, it is possible to prevent the disaster response type life-saving clothing from coming off due to a water flow such as a tsunami.

In the above configuration, the lower limb cover may be configured in a bag shape so as to wrap both legs together.

According to this configuration, the lower limb cover has a shape that makes it easier to wrap the wearer, so that it is easier to wear a bedridden elderly person, a sick person, or other immobile person than when the lower limb cover is configured in a pants shape. ..

The disaster response type life-saving garment according to the present invention comprises a torso having a first buoyant body, a lower limb cover coupled to the torso or integrally formed with the torso, and the torso and the lower limb cover. A string member for connecting the torso and the lower limb cover so as to bend the upper body and the lower body of the wearer toward the front side in a dogleg shape is provided.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing according to the present invention, the upper body is covered by the body and the lower body is covered by the lower limb cover. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the wearer's waistline and lower limbs from being torn and the body temperature to be rapidly lost. Moreover, since the torso covers the torso from the shoulders to the torso, it is difficult to remove it, and since the lower limb cover is connected to the torso or the lower limb cover is integrally formed with the torso, the lower limbs are also affected by water flow such as a tsunami. It is possible to prevent the cover from coming off. Furthermore, the disaster response type life-saving clothing has a string member that connects the torso and the lower limb cover so that the upper body and the lower body of the wearer wearing the torso and the lower limb cover are bent in a dogleg shape toward the front side. The lower limbs of the wearer wearing the lower limb cover are in a state of being lifted by the string member in water. Therefore, in the event of a disaster such as a tsunami, it becomes easier to avoid the danger of the wearer's lower limbs hitting an obstacle in the water.

In the above configuration, the first buoyant body may have a front buoyant body arranged on the front surface portion of the body portion. A GPS terminal may be arranged on the front surface of the body.

According to this configuration, since the GPS terminal is arranged on the front surface of the body portion on which the front buoyant body is arranged, the GPS terminal can be easily positioned on the water surface at all times without being submerged. Therefore, even if the wearer is swept away by the tsunami, it becomes easy to grasp the position of the wearer.

In the above configuration, a GPS terminal may be arranged on the front surface of the body.

According to this configuration, since the GPS terminal is arranged on the front part of the body where the front buoyancy body having a larger buoyancy than the rear buoyancy body is arranged, the GPS terminal is always positioned on the water surface without being submerged. It will be easier to do. Therefore, even if the wearer is swept away by the tsunami, it becomes easy to grasp the position of the wearer.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a disaster response type life-saving garment that can easily avoid the danger that the wearer's lower limbs hit an obstacle in the water.

Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, each figure referred to below is for convenience of explanation, and shows the main components necessary for explaining the disaster response type life-saving clothing according to the embodiment of the present invention in a simplified manner. Therefore, the disaster response type life garment according to each embodiment of the present invention may include any component not shown in each figure referred to herein.

(First Embodiment)
The disaster response type life-saving clothing 1 is for floating the wearer on water and positioning the head on the water surface WL in the event of a disaster such as a tsunami. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1 includes a torso 2 having a shape covering a human torso, a lower limb cover 3 configured separately from the torso 2, and a lower limb cover 3. It has a coupling means 4 that couples to the body portion 2.

The body portion 2 is formed in a jacket shape. The torso 2 has a shape and dimensions that cover the wearer's waist circumference, and the torso 2 includes a sleeve portion 2b that has a shape and dimensions that cover both arms, and a hood portion 2c that has a shape and dimensions that cover the head. Are connected. The sleeve portion 2b and the hood portion 2c may be detachably attached to the body portion 2.

The body portion 2 has a front surface portion 2aa and a rear surface portion 2ab facing the front surface portion 2aa. The front surface portion 2aa has a right front portion 31 and a left front portion 32 that are separately formed on the left and right sides. The right end of the right front portion 31 is connected to the right end of the rear surface portion 2ab, and the left end of the left front portion 32 is connected to the left end of the rear surface portion 2ab. As a result, the body portion 2 is configured to open forward. The body portion 2 does not have to be configured to open at the front. In this case, the right front portion 31 and the left front portion 32 are integrally formed.

The sleeve portion 2b is connected to the position of the shoulder of the body portion 2 and is formed so as to cover from the position of the wearer's shoulder to the position of the wrist. The hood portion 2c is connected to the upper part of the body portion 2 and the front side is open. The sleeve portion 2b and the hood portion 2c may be omitted.

The body portion 2 has a first buoyant body 2d. The first buoyancy body 2d is configured to generate buoyancy to the extent that the body of the wearer wearing the body portion 2 can be floated in water. For example, the first buoyant body 2d can be made of Styrofoam.

The first buoyancy body 2d has a front buoyancy body 5 built in the front surface portion 2aa of the body portion 2 and a rear surface buoyancy body 6 built in the rear surface portion 2ab of the body portion 2. The front buoyant body 5 is composed of two buoyant bodies. Specifically, the front buoyant body 5 has a left buoyant body 5a built in the left front portion 32 and a right buoyant body 5b built in the right front portion 31. If the body portion 2 is not configured to open forward, the front buoyant body 5 may be configured by one buoyant body. The rear surface buoyancy body 6 is built in the rear surface portion 2ab of the body portion 2. The rear buoyancy body 6 may be omitted as long as the wearer's body wearing the body portion 2 can be floated in water only by the front buoyancy body 5.

The front buoyancy body 5 is configured to have a buoyancy larger than the buoyancy of the rear buoyancy body 6. That is, the front buoyancy body 5 is configured such that the total buoyancy of the buoyancy of the left buoyancy body 5a and the buoyancy of the right buoyancy body 5b is larger than the buoyancy of the rear buoyancy body 6. As a result, when the body portion 2 floats on water, the body portion 2 floats so that the front surface portion 2aa is located above the rear surface portion 2ab. Therefore, the wearer can float with the front side of the wearer's body facing upward (see FIG. 2). The buoyancy of the front buoyancy body 5 may be the same as the buoyancy of the rear buoyancy body 6.

A GPS terminal 25 is built in the front surface portion 2aa of the body portion 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The position of the GPS terminal 25 is not particularly limited as long as it is the front surface portion 2aa of the body portion 2. For example, the GPS terminal 25 may be arranged on the front side of the front buoyancy body 5 in the front surface portion 2aa of the body portion 2, or may be embedded in the front buoyancy body 5. The GPS terminal 25 may be omitted.

The lower limb cover 3 is formed in a pants shape having a shape and dimensions into which both legs can be inserted. The lower limb cover 3 may be integrally formed with the body portion 2. That is, the lower end of the body portion 2 may be connected to the upper end of the lower limb cover 3. In this case, the connecting means 4 for connecting the lower limb cover 3 to the torso 2 is omitted.

The lower limb cover 3 has a second buoyancy body 7 and a stretchable rubber shoulder belt 8. The shoulder belt 8 may be made of woven fabric, for example, or may be omitted.

The second buoyancy body 7 is configured to generate buoyancy to the extent that the lower limbs of the wearer wearing the lower limb cover 3 can be floated in water. For example, the second buoyancy body 7 can be made of Styrofoam.

The second buoyancy body 7 is provided on the front surface 3a of the lower limb cover 3. As a result, when the lower limb cover 3 is floated on water, the lower limb cover 3 floats so that the front surface 3a faces upward. Therefore, due to the buoyancy of the lower limb cover 3 and the buoyancy of the body 2, the wearer has the upper body and the lower body bent forward in a dogleg shape while the front side of the wearer's body is facing upward. It floats (see Fig. 2). The attachment position of the second buoyant body 7 to the lower limb cover 3 is not limited to the front surface 3a of the lower limb cover 3, and may be provided on the side surface of the lower limb cover 3, for example.

The second buoyancy body 7 is detachably provided on an outer portion of the front surface 3a of the lower limb cover 3. Therefore, the second buoyancy body 7 can be removed from the lower limb cover 3. As the means for attaching / detaching the second buoyancy body 7 to the lower limb cover 3, any means may be used as long as the wearer can easily remove the second buoyancy body 7 in water. For example, the second buoyancy body 7 may be configured to be detachably attached to the lower limb cover 3 by a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook, or the like, or may be configured to be put in a pocket (not shown) of the lower limb cover 3. In this case, the second buoyant body removed from the lower limb cover 3 may be configured so that it can be attached to the body portion 2 by a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook, or the like. The second buoyancy body 7 does not have to be detachably configured on the lower limb cover 3.

Further, in the example of FIG. 1, a total of four second buoyant bodies 7 are provided on the upper part and the lower part of the lower limb cover 3, but the wearer's lower limbs are floated by the buoyancy of the second buoyant body 7 in water. If possible, the number of the second buoyant bodies 7 is not particularly limited. For example, a total of two second buoyant bodies 7 may be provided between the upper part and the lower part of the lower limb cover 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the shoulder belt 8 has a loop shape because one end is fixed to the front surface 3a of the inner surface of the lower limb cover 3 and the other end is fixed to the rear surface 3b of the inner surface of the lower limb cover 3. .. As a result, the shoulder strap 8 can be hung on the wearer's shoulder. Both ends of the shoulder belt 8 are attached at positions shifted downward from the upper end 9 of the lower limb cover 3. As a result, the hem of the torso 2 can be put inside the lower limb cover 3 with the shoulder belt 8 hung on the shoulder. That is, as described later, although the band-shaped second surface fastener piece 4ab is attached to the upper end 9 of the lower limb cover 3, the second surface is formed by inserting the hem of the body 2 inside the lower limb cover 3. The fastener piece 4ab can be wrapped around the body 2.

The coupling means 4 is composed of a hook-and-loop fastener 4a having a first surface fastener piece 4aa provided on the body portion 2 and a second surface fastener piece 4ab provided on the lower limb cover 3.

The first surface fastener piece 4aa is formed on each of the right front portion 31, the left front portion 32, and the rear surface portion 2ab in the body portion 2. The first surface fastener piece 4aa may be formed so as to be continuous over the entire circumference in the peripheral direction at the right front portion 31, the left front portion 32, and the rear surface portion 2ab, or may be formed intermittently in the peripheral direction. Good. The outer surface of the first surface fastener piece 4aa is a connecting surface. Two first-side fastener pieces 4aa are provided on the body 2 at intervals at the top and bottom, but the number of the first-side fastener pieces 4aa is such that the lower limb cover 3 is provided on the body 2 due to a water flow such as a tsunami. There is no particular limitation as long as it is not easily removed from.

The second surface fastener piece 4ab is arranged along the upper end 9 of the lower limb cover 3. The second surface fastener piece 4ab is formed in a band shape extending in the waist circumference direction, and has a length of about the length in the peripheral direction of the body portion 2. Therefore, the second surface fastener piece 4ab can be wound around the entire circumference of the body portion 2. The second surface fastener piece 4ab is fixed to the upper end 9 on the rear surface 3b side of the lower limb cover 3, while extending from the upper end 9 on the rear surface 3b side to the left and right sides. The front and rear surfaces of the second surface fastener piece 4ab are joint surfaces.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a connecting member 10 for connecting the torso 2 and the lower limb cover 3 is attached to the torso 2 and the lower limb cover 3. The coupling member 10 includes a first coupling piece 10a having one end attached to the outside of the body portion 2, a second coupling piece 10b having one end attached to the upper part on the outside of the lower limb cover 3, and a first coupling piece 10a and a first. It has a connecting member 10c such as a buckle that connects the two coupling pieces 10b. The first connecting piece 10a is attached above the position of the hem in the body portion 2. As a result, the first connecting piece 10a and the second connecting piece 10b located on the outside of the lower limb cover 3 can be connected by the connecting member 10c with the hem of the torso 2 placed inside the lower limb cover 3. ..

In the example of FIG. 1, the attachment position of the first coupling piece 10a to the body portion 2 is located between the upper and lower first surface fastener pieces 4aa, but the hem of the body portion 2 is attached to the lower limb cover 3. If the first coupling piece 10a and the second coupling piece 10b can be connected by the connecting member 10c in the state of being put inside, the present invention is not limited to the upper and lower first surface fastener pieces 4aa. Further, the connecting member 10 may be omitted because it is used as an auxiliary for connecting the lower limb cover 3 to the body 2 with respect to the hook-and-loop fastener 4a.

Next, a method of wearing the disaster response type life-saving garment 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (d). In FIGS. 4A to 4D, the first and second buoyant bodies 2d and 7 and the coupling member 10 are omitted for convenience.

First, after passing both legs through the lower limb cover 3, the shoulder belt 8 is hung on the shoulder and the lower limb cover 3 is put on. At this time, since the shoulder strap 8 expands and contracts, the shoulder strap 8 can be easily hung on the shoulder without adjusting the length.

Next, the body 2 is put on. At this time, the body portion 2 is put on the shoulder belt 8. Specifically, first, the front portion 2aa of the body portion 2 is opened and both arms are passed through the sleeve portion 2b, and then the right front portion 31 in the front portion 2aa is located on the front side of the left front portion 32. The left front portion 32 is overlapped (see FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b)). In this state, the hem of the body portion 2 is inserted between the lower limb cover 3 and the shoulder strap 8, and the first coupling piece 10a and the second coupling piece 10b are connected by the connecting member 10c (FIGS. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 (c)). When the connecting member 10 is omitted, the work of connecting the first coupling piece 10a and the second coupling piece 10b is omitted.

Next, the second surface fastener piece 4ab of the surface fastener 4a is wound around the body portion 2 like a belt (see FIGS. 2, 4 (c) and 4 (d)). Specifically, the left second surface fastener piece 4ab is wound so as to extend from the left front portion 32 to the right front portion 31, and the left second surface fastener piece 4ab is fixed to the first surface fastener piece 4aa. Subsequently, the right second surface fastener piece 4ab is wound so as to extend from the right front portion 31 to the left front portion 32, and the right second surface fastener piece 4ab is fixed to the left second surface fastener piece 4ab from the outside. When the left front portion 32 is overlapped so as to be located on the front side of the right front portion 31, the second surface fastener piece 4ab on the right side is fixed to the first surface fastener piece 4aa, and the second surface fastener piece 4ab on the left side is fixed. Is fixed to the second surface fastener piece 4ab on the right side from the outside. As a result, the lower limb cover 3 is connected to the body portion 2, and the front surface portion 2aa of the body portion 2 is maintained in a closed state. Finally, the hood portion 2c is covered.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, the upper body is covered by the body 2 and the lower body is covered by the lower limb cover 3. Therefore, the wearer's waist circumference, both arms, head and lower limbs are suppressed from being torn, and the rapid loss of body temperature is suppressed. Moreover, since the torso 2 covers the torso from the shoulders to the torso, it is difficult to remove it, and since the lower limb cover 3 is connected to the torso 2, the lower limb cover 3 can be removed even by a water flow such as a tsunami. Can be prevented. Further, since the lower limb cover 3 has the second buoyant body 7, the second buoyant body 7 does not come out of the lower limb cover 3. Therefore, the lower limbs of the wearer are in a floating state due to the buoyancy of the second buoyancy body 7 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, in the event of a disaster such as a tsunami, it becomes difficult for the wearer's lower limbs to hit an obstacle in the water, and it becomes easier to avoid the danger of the wearer's lower limbs hitting an obstacle in the water.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, since the lower limb cover 3 is a pants type configured separately from the torso 2, the wearer can easily wear the lower limb cover 3 like trousers. This makes it possible for anyone to quickly put it on within minutes of the arrival of the tsunami. Further, since the lower limb cover 3 is connected to the body portion 2 by the connecting means 4, it is possible to prevent the lower limb cover 3 from coming off due to a water flow such as a tsunami.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, the lower limb cover 3 can be connected to the waistline of the torso 2 simply by attaching the second hook-and-loop fastener piece 4ab to the first hook-and-loop fastener piece 4aa, so that in an emergency such as a tsunami. Even if there is, the lower limb cover 3 can be easily connected to the torso 2. This allows anyone to quickly put it on within minutes of the arrival of the tsunami. Further, since the hook-and-loop fastener 4a can be wound around the body portion 2 like a belt, it is possible to more reliably prevent the lower limb cover 3 from coming off due to a water flow such as a tsunami.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, since the front surface portion 2aa of the body portion 2 can be opened, the body portion 2 can be easily worn. Further, since the wearer can close the front surface portion 2aa of the body portion 2 by the hook-and-loop fastener 4a that connects the body portion 2 and the lower limb cover 3, the member for closing the front surface portion 2aa of the body portion 2 is separately provided. No need to prepare. Therefore, even in an emergency such as a tsunami, the body 2 can be easily put on, so that anyone can quickly put it on within a few minutes until the tsunami arrives.

In the disaster response type life-saving garment 1, since the front portion 2aa configured to open forward is closed by the band-shaped surface fastener 4a, the body portion 2 can be closed in a state of matching the wearer's body shape. Further, by using the hook-and-loop fastener 4a for connecting the body portion 2 and the lower limb cover 3, it is possible to realize a joining force that can withstand the pulling force applied when the body is caught in a tsunami and a simple wearability.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, the shoulder belt 8 can be hung on the wearer's shoulder, so that the lower limb cover 3 is difficult to remove from the wearer's lower limbs. Further, since the rubber shoulder belt 8 expands and contracts, it is not necessary to adjust the length of the shoulder belt 8 by using a buckle or the like according to the wearer's body shape. Therefore, even in an emergency such as a tsunami, the shoulder belt 8 can be easily adjusted to a length according to the wearer's body shape. Therefore, it can be quickly installed by anyone within minutes of the arrival of the tsunami.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, since the body portion 2 overlaps the shoulder strap 8, the shoulder belt 8 does not come off while the body portion 2 is worn. Therefore, the lower limb cover 3 is difficult to remove.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, the front buoyancy body 5 arranged on the front surface of the body portion 2 has a larger buoyancy than the rear surface buoyancy body 6 arranged on the rear surface portion 2ab of the body portion 2, and therefore the body portion 2 Generates buoyancy so that the front buoyancy body 5 is located above the rear buoyancy body 6 in water. For this reason, the front side of the wearer's body tends to face upward, so that the face can be easily exposed on the water surface WL at all times, and suffocation can be easily avoided.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, the lower limb cover 3 generates buoyancy so that the front surface 3a faces upward in water. Therefore, the wearer wears the upper body and the lower body while the front side of the wearer's body faces upward. And is easy to bend forward in a dogleg shape (see FIG. 2). Therefore, it is difficult for the wearer's lower limbs to hit obstacles in the water during a disaster such as a tsunami.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, the wearer can remove the second buoyancy body 7 from the lower limb cover 3, so that the second buoyancy body 7 can be removed from the lower limb cover 3 to walk or swim in the water. it can.

In the disaster response type life-saving clothing 1, the GPS terminal 25 is arranged on the front portion 2aa where the front buoyancy body 5 having a buoyancy larger than that of the rear surface buoyancy body 6 arranged on the rear surface portion 2ab of the body portion 2 is arranged. Therefore, the GPS terminal 25 can be easily positioned on the water surface WL at all times without being submerged (see FIG. 2). Therefore, even if the wearer is swept away by the tsunami, it is easy to grasp the position of the wearer.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the disaster response type life-saving clothing of the second embodiment will be described.
