空冷被服に関するものである。
より詳しくは空冷被服ファンユニット取り付けキットを用いて空冷ファンを取り付けた空冷被服及びその取り付け方法に関するものであるIt relates to air-cooled clothing.
More specifically, the present invention relates to an air-cooled clothing on which an air-cooling fan is attached using an air-cooled clothing fan unit mounting kit and a method for attaching the same.
毎年猛暑日数が増加傾向にある。人の活動は日中が一般的で 夏季屋外での活動は厳しく、高温多湿な環境下で体内の水分や塩分（ナトリウムやミネラル）等のバランスが崩れ、体内の温度調整機能が損なわれ知らず知らずに体温の上昇などを招き 熱中症などの健康被害を発症するリスクは多くなっている。人だけでなく、暑さに弱い愛玩動物（ペット にとっても暑さ対策が求められている
近年健康志向の高まりから、屋内外の作業現場や散歩時の暑さ対策が重要との認識が高まり、クールダウン効果があると言われている数々のウェアや関連商品が販売されている。ヘルメットの中や首の回りに保水量の多い不織布をつけ気化熱を利用し体温上昇を抑える受動的対策の例がある。簡易、安価ではあるが効果持続時間が短く効果もごく限定的である。能動的な対策の例として、軸流ファンなどを衣類にとりつけ作動させる いわゆる空冷服やファン取り付け装置などの技術が提案されている
４
能動的な空冷服の具体的な例としては衣服に開口部を設け、直接ファンを取り付ける方式の提案が多いが、効果をあげようとして空気の流れを制御部は付属品を追加し、装置が大掛かりで、衣服のデザインや機能の制限が多くなり 経済面でも費用が多大になるなどの問題がある。
衣服の一部に吸気口を設け、ファンを排気側として用い負圧を利用する空調服の例も開示されている。ここでは、裾などの吸気口以外からの空気が流入することを防止するために胴部は体へ密着させる手段が設けられている。いずれもファンの周囲を、穴をあけた生地に直接はさんで固定するので、ファン回りの衣服がよじれたり、生地が傷んだり、ほつれたり、あるいはファンが傾いたりする。また、ファンを取り外す際には取り扱いが大変で慎重な作業を必要とする。（特許文献 参照
ファン装置のメンテナンスのため、着脱を容易にする案の開示もあるが、ファン部分を袋に入れたり、あるいはファスナーやボタンを取り付けたり、また、円環状の治具によるファン装置の締め付けなど部品が必要だったりと経済面や利便性の面でも普及に課題を残している。（特許文献、３、および 参照）The number of hot days is increasing every year. Human activities generally take place during the daytime, and outdoor activities in the summer are severe. In a hot and humid environment, the balance of water and salt (sodium and minerals) in the body collapses, impairing the body's ability to regulate temperature without realizing it. As a result, the risk of developing health problems such as heatstroke is increasing. Not only humans, but also pets, who are vulnerable to heat, need to take measures against heat. There are a number of clothing and related products on the market that are said to have a cool-down effect.As a passive measure to suppress the rise in body temperature by using the heat of vaporization, a non-woven fabric with a large amount of water retention is attached inside the helmet and around the neck. There is an example.Simple and inexpensive, but the effect duration is short and the effect is very limited.As an example of active countermeasures, such as so-called air-cooled clothes and fan mounting devices that operate by attaching an axial fan to clothing. technology has been proposed 4
As a specific example of active air-cooled clothing, many proposals have been made to create openings in the clothing and attach fans directly to it. It is a large-scale project, and there are many restrictions on the design and functions of the clothes, and there are problems such as a large cost from an economic point of view.
There is also disclosed an example of air-conditioned clothes in which an intake port is provided in a part of the clothes and a fan is used as an exhaust side to utilize negative pressure. Here, in order to prevent the inflow of air from other than the intake port such as the hem, the body is provided with a means for closely contacting the body. In either case, the perimeter of the fan is directly sandwiched between the perforated fabric, so the clothes around the fan may be twisted, the fabric may be damaged or frayed, or the fan may tilt. Moreover, when removing the fan, handling is difficult and careful work is required. (Refer to patent literature) There is also a disclosure of a plan to facilitate attachment and detachment for maintenance of the fan device, but the fan part is put in a bag, or a fastener or button is attached, or the fan device is attached by an annular jig. There are still problems in popularization in terms of economy and convenience, such as the need for parts such as tightening (

人は衣服に限らず独自性を好む傾向にあり、愛玩動物にもその兆候がみられる。空冷服は装着する装備や作動機構のため、布地の選択、衣服デザイン、色調あるいは風合いなどがごく限られており、広く普及には至っていない。
本発明では、取り扱いやすく着脱が容易で耐久性のある空冷ファンユニットを考案し、空冷ファンユニットキットとして提供しその着脱方法も併せて提案することにより、一般の被服を、被服の好みの箇所に空冷被服用ファンユニットを装着可能とし、経済的で利便性の高い実用的な空冷被服を提供することにある。本発明空冷被服の動作性の良さから様々な場面で着用されるようになり、広く普及させることを課題とする。
人用に限らず、ものが言えない愛玩動物、例えば愛犬にも共通する課題であり、今まで愛玩動物向けに能動的にファンを装着した衣服の提案自体がなく、本発明の空冷被服で、夏季屋内外で快適に過ごしてもらうことは動物愛護の観点からも好ましいものである。-
People tend to like uniqueness, not just in clothes, and we can see signs of this in pet animals. Air-cooled clothes are limited in selection of fabrics, clothing designs, color tones and textures due to the equipment to be worn and the operating mechanism, and have not spread widely.
In the present invention, an easy-to-handle, easy-to-attach and detachable air-cooling fan unit is devised and provided as an air-cooling fan unit kit. To provide an economical, highly convenient and practical air-cooled clothing by which a fan unit for the air-cooled clothing can be attached. The air-cooled clothing of the present invention is worn in various situations because of its good operability, and it is an object of the present invention to spread it widely.
This is a common problem not only for humans, but also for pets that cannot speak, such as a pet dog. It is desirable from the viewpoint of animal welfare to have them spend time comfortably indoors and outdoors in the summer.
本発明は、被服に空冷ファンを容易に、簡単に取り付けられるよう鋭意考案し 構成要素をごく切り詰め、電源とハーネスを含むファン本体 ファンカバー 開口部切り抜き用型紙、両面接着テープおよび緩衝材シートのみからなる空冷被服用ファンユニットを提案し、それを汎用の被服に適応することにより空冷被服となし、また、取り付けのための空冷被服用ファンユニットキットと取り付け方法を併せて示し、より多くの人に快適に活動していただけるような空冷被服を提案するものである
本発明の空冷被服は、汎用衣服のみならず、笠、帽子やヘルメットなどの被り物なども含まれる。好みの被服の好みの箇所に、本発明の空冷被服用ファンユニットのキットを用い、その装着方法の指示に従い取り付けることにより容易に、より多くの人に快適に活動していただける簡易な空冷被服とすることができる。
本発明の空冷被服に用いられる被服は織物、編物、不織布、フィルム状素材などが用いられる 生地の撥水、静電加工等も妨げにならない。
本発明を制限するものではないが、汎用衣服の場合の好ましい例としては、体の胴体部分の半分以上をカバーする面積の生地を用いる。袖、首、胴体部は空気が抜けすぎないよう、極端に開放的にならないよう配慮される。また、本発明用の衣服に、首の回りに保水量の多い布や不織布を巻き付け、水の蒸発潜熱を利用し体温上昇を抑えるなどの受動的対策方法の併用も妨げない。衣服が作業服の場合は、中程度の目付（２００－３００ｇ／ｍ２）の綿／ポリエステル混紡（６５／３５）生地などが柔らかさと通気性に富んでおり好適に用いられる
また、本発明制限するものではないが、愛玩動物用空冷被服の例としては、素材は、飼い主の煙草などから引火発火しない様天然材料の綿と同程度クラスで、伸縮性のある、例えば、ポリウレタン生地あるいは同等の性能の生地が好ましく、具体的には、愛犬の場合、遊んで空冷被服を咬むことも多いので、空冷被服の縁取り部を人用より丈夫な生地とし、縫製も丈夫にすることが好ましく、また、散歩時や運動中のじゃれ合い時でもファンや電源が落下・故障しにくい伸縮性とクッション性のある、人用標準目付より厚めの生地を採用することが好ましい。ソファーカバーなどに使用されているストレッチジャガード生地を使用することもできる。
空冷被服用ファンを、専門家に頼まずに、また特殊な治具を用いることなく、簡単、短時間に被服に脱着できるよう、本発明では、電源とハーネスを含むファン本体、ファンカバー、開口部切り抜き用型紙、両面接着テープおよび緩衝材シートからなる空冷被服用ファンユニットのキットを提供する。
量産型の小型ファンではファンの羽根の保護および／または指などのけが防止の目的で、ファン本体と一緒に、ファンガードあるいはフィンガープロテクトなどと称される熱可塑性樹脂で形成された簡易カバーをつけた製品が市販されており、本発明ではこのタイプのファンから ファンカバーおよびファン本体ケース込み）厚さ ｍ以内の製品を選択する
本発明の空冷被服に用いられるファン本体の直径は、ファンケース含め１２ｃｍ以下の小型空冷ファンが用いられる、より好ましくは直径が６ｃｍから１０ｃｍのものである。用いられる機種は汎用プロペラファン、二重反転ファンなどの軸流送風機、シロッコファン、ターボファンなどの延伸送風機や斜琉ファンなどが使用可能であるが、軽量、経済性の面から汎用プロペラファンで、ファン本体とファンカバーの２つのパーツからなる嵌合するタイプの機種が望ましい。嵌合方式はねじ式、ワンタッチいずれの方法でも構わない。
本発明の空冷被服に用いられるファンの駆動に用いられる電源は特に制限しないが、小型、軽量の為に、直流電源で作動電圧３Ｖから１５Ｖの直流電源が好ましい。より好ましくは３Ｖから１２Ｖの直流電源である。電源はアルカリ電池やマンガン電池などの一次電池が好適に用いられる。充電式二次電池の使用や風量・風速を変えられるよう、空冷ファンに対してＤＣ電圧切り替え・風量切り替えスイッチを取り付けることもできる
空冷被服の好みの箇所に適切に開口部を設け空冷被服用ファンユニットを適切に装着するために、開口部を切断するに際しては型紙を用いる。予め開口部を切断した両面接着テープを型紙として用いることができる。
本発明で用いられる両面接着テープは、不織布等の基材シートの両面にアクリル系等の粘着剤が塗布された接着層があり、その両面を剥離紙（セパレーター）でカバーされ一体化したシートであり、比較的薄く柔軟で平滑なシートで、織物や編み物などギャップや凹凸のある面への接着に適したシートである。安全面から 取得の難燃性両面接着テープを用いることもできる 両面接着テープの厚みはセパレーターを除き０．３ｍｍ以下のものが用いられる。（例：日東電工製ＮＯ．５００，寺岡製作所製＃７５６５）両面接着テープはあらかじめ開口部を切断して型紙としても用いることができる。切断はハサミやカッターで切り抜くことも可能であるが、より寸法を正確にカットするためトムソン刃等の治具をもちいることもできる。
本発明に用いられる緩衝材シートは ポリエチレン系、ウレタン系、シリコーン系、塩化ビニル系等のプラスチック樹脂を厚さ０．５ から５ｍｍの範囲、好ましくは０．８ｍｍから３ｍｍの範囲、より好ましくは１ から２．５ｍｍの範囲に成形された、クッション性のあるフィルムやシートおよびまたはネット状のものを示す。ネット上の場合、その目が５ｍｍ角以下、好ましくは４ｍｍ角、より好ましくは３．５ｍｍ角以下のネットを用いる。シートはプレーン（平坦）、エンボス加工、小穴あけ加工、織・編み加工およびまたは撥水、抗菌等の表面加工されたものであってもよい。
空冷被服用ファンユニットキットとして提供する場合は、装着を容易にするため、両面接着テープとあらかじめ一体化してカットされた状態で提供することもできる。
本発明において、空冷被服用ファンユニットキットの両面接着テープと緩衝材シートは同じサイズにすることが重要である。両面接着テープと緩衝シートの形状は円を含む楕円形、四角形を含む凸多角形で、ほぼ中央部に開口部を設ける。開口部を切断後の縁は少なくとも ｍｍ以上、好ましくは ｍｍ以上あることが望ましい
開口部の大きさは、装着するファンカバーの胴体部の直径と同じにすることが望ましい両面接着テープおよび緩衝材シートの開口部の大きさは、開口部のほつれやしわ防止の観点のみならず、本発明の空冷被服の形態安定性や取り付けたファンの保持維持性や性能発揮を左右する重要な要素でもあり、被服の開口部の大きさに合わせることが望ましい。
ファンの安定作動のため、両面接着テープおよび緩衝材シート面積は、開口部を含めて、開口部の面積１．１５倍から２．５倍の範囲である。１．１５倍より小さいとファン取り付け後の被服の変形が大きくなり、耐久性低下の傾向にあり、また、２．５倍を超えると被服自体が固くなりフレキシビリティが低下する。好ましくは、１．２倍から２．４倍である。
本発明の空冷被服をより短時間、容易に仕立てる手段とする。空冷被服用ファンユニットキットは電源とハーネスを含むファン本体、ファンカバー、ファン装着のための開口部を切断するための型紙、両面接着テープおよび緩衝材シートから構成される部材構成をより単純化するために、型紙は あらかじめ開口部を打ち抜いた両面接着テープを型紙として兼用することができる。さらにより簡単に装着できるよう、緩衝材シートもあらかじめ開口部を打ち抜き、両面接着テープと一体化しておくこともできる。
本発明の空冷被服では、適当な被服を選択後、空冷被服用ファンユニットキットを用い、好みの位置に開口部の大きさを提供された型紙により被服にしるしをつけたのち、開口部を切断する。次いで、開口部の位置に合わせ両面接着テープと緩衝材シートを密着させる。電源とハーネスはそのままでも特に問題ないが、テープ、マジックテープあるいはひもでファン付近被服に密着させておくことができる。あるいはハーネスの長さを調節し、被服の外部に出し首からかける等、使いやすい形で装着することも妨げない。
本発明を制約するものではないが、外気中の粉塵が多い場所では、ファンカバーにフィルターを被服に縫い付け、あるいはマジックテープなどを取り付けることもできる。フィルター素材としては、布、不織布や発泡ポリウレタン等の樹脂フィルターから１種または複数組み合わせて用いられ、好ましい素材は発泡ポリウレタンフィルターであり、より好ましくは、三次元網目構造のウレタンスポンジフィルターが選択される。
もっとも好ましいウレタンスポンジフィルターの密度は２０ ｋｇ ｍ３から４５ｋｇ ｍ３の範囲で、セル数が８個／２５ｍｍから２５個／２５ｍｍの範囲にある三次元網目構造のエステル系ウレタンスポンジフィルターおよびその同等品である。（例、ストライダー社、エステル系スポンジフィルターＭＦ－１３
フィルター特性が同等ならば、難燃性の付与や活性炭粉末などの機能付加添加されたウレタン発泡樹脂フィルターも使用することができる。（例、ブリジストン社製エバーライト また、取り付ける場合は、フィルターは使用後にファンユニットから取り外し、水や中性洗剤で洗浄し複数回再利用ができる程度の化学耐久性がより望ましい ファッションやデザインの自由度をあげるため、開口部に衣服と同じ生地でカバーし、必要な時のみカバーを外すことも可能である。
ファンユニットを装着する位置は、好みのデザインにより決めることが可能である。大人用の場合は上着の前みごろの下方部、通常ポケット位置に左右に１基ずつ、あるいは、後ろみごろの下方部の左右に１基ずつ、ファンユニットを装着するのが好適で、子供用の場合は後ろ見ごろ中央上部に１基、また、小型愛玩動物用でも背側中央付近に１基を装着することが好適である。
本発明を制限するものではないが、本発明の空冷被服は、人の場合は体重１０ｋｇ以上１００ｋｇ以下、より好ましくは１５ｋｇから８０ｋｇの子供から大人が対象である。
本発明の空冷被服は人用のみならず愛玩動物（ペット）にも適用できる。愛玩動物とは、定温性哺乳類で、一般家庭で飼われている個人の愛玩動物に限らず、動物園や観光施設等で飼育されている動物も含まれる。
愛犬が激しい運動した後等、被毛を逆さに撫ぜるとしっとりしていることがある。アポクリン腺から出る汗で犬が汗をかく時は、エクリン腺から出る汗で体温調節と、アポクリン腺から出る汗で老廃物を排出する時であり、２種類で発汗をするが、エクリン腺からの汗は足の裏や鼻の頭に限られており、本発明の空冷被服は、犬用の場合、このアポクリン腺から出る汗を対象にしており、被毛の基のいたるところに配列されており、そこから発汗する汗を、効率よく蒸発させ気化熱によって体温調節に役立てる
愛玩動物は人の場合より効率が悪く また動物は運動量が多いので、体重３ｋｇ以上 ｋｇ以下の愛玩動物が対象となる。本発明の空冷被服を着用させることにより、愛玩動物の活動範囲は大きく広がり、飼い主にとっても有益である。The present invention has been diligently devised so that an air-cooling fan can be attached to clothing easily and simply. We propose a fan unit for air-cooled clothing that is suitable for general-purpose clothing to make it an air-cooled clothing, and also show a fan unit kit for air-cooled clothing for installation and an installation method, so that more people can use it. Air-cooled clothing that allows comfortable activity is proposed Air-cooled clothing of the present invention includes not only general-purpose clothing, but also coverings such as shades, hats, and helmets. By using the fan unit kit for air-cooled clothing of the present invention at the desired location of the desired clothing and following the instructions for the mounting method, simple air-cooled clothing that allows more people to easily and comfortably carry out their activities. can do.
The clothes used for the air-cooled clothes of the present invention are woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, film-like materials, and the like.
Although not intended to limit the invention, a preferred example for general purpose clothing is to use fabric with an area covering more than half of the torso portion of the body. The sleeves, neck, and torso are not too airy and are not too open. It is also possible to use passive countermeasures such as wrapping a cloth or non-woven fabric with a large water retention capacity around the neck of the garment of the present invention to suppress the rise in body temperature by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of water. When the clothes are working clothes, a cotton/polyester blend (65/35) fabric with a medium basis weight (200-300 g/m 2 ) is preferable because of its softness and breathability. However, as an example of air-cooled clothing for pets, the material is of the same class as cotton, a natural material that does not ignite from the owner's cigarette, etc., and has elasticity, such as polyurethane fabric or equivalent. Performance fabric is preferable, and specifically, in the case of a pet dog, it often bites the air-cooled clothing when playing, so it is preferable that the hem of the air-cooled clothing is made of a fabric that is stronger than that for humans, and that the stitching is also strong. , It is preferable to adopt a fabric thicker than the standard basis weight for humans, which has elasticity and cushioning properties so that the fan and power supply are unlikely to fall or break down even when walking or exercising. Stretch jacquard fabric used for sofa covers and the like can also be used.
In the present invention, the fan main body including the power supply and harness, the fan cover, and the opening are designed so that the fan for air-cooled clothing can be easily and quickly attached to and removed from clothing without asking an expert or using a special jig. To provide a fan unit kit for air-cooled clothing consisting of a part cut-out template, double-sided adhesive tape and a cushioning material sheet.
For small mass-produced fans, a simple cover made of thermoplastic resin called a fan guard or finger protector is attached together with the fan body for the purpose of protecting the fan blades and/or preventing injury to fingers. products of this type are commercially available, and in the present invention, a product with a thickness of m or less from this type of fan (including the fan cover and the fan body case) is selected. A small air cooling fan of 12 cm or less is used, more preferably with a diameter of 6 cm to 10 cm. General-purpose propeller fans, axial-flow fans such as counter-rotating fans, stretched fans such as sirocco fans and turbo fans, and diagonal fans can be used. A fitting type model consisting of two parts, a fan body and a fan cover, is desirable. The fitting method may be either a screw type or a one-touch method.
Although the power source used to drive the fan used in the air-cooled clothing of the present invention is not particularly limited, a DC power source with an operating voltage of 3V to 15V is preferable because of its small size and light weight. A DC power supply of 3V to 12V is more preferable. A primary battery such as an alkaline battery or a manganese battery is preferably used as the power source. A DC voltage changeover/airflow changeover switch can be attached to the air-cooling fan so that rechargeable secondary batteries can be used and the airflow/airflow speed can be changed. A paper pattern is used to cut the opening for proper installation of the unit. A double-sided adhesive tape with pre-cut openings can be used as a paper pattern.
The double-sided adhesive tape used in the present invention is a sheet in which a substrate sheet such as a non-woven fabric has adhesive layers coated with an adhesive such as acrylic on both sides, and both sides are covered with a release paper (separator) to form an integrated sheet. It is a relatively thin, flexible and smooth sheet suitable for bonding to surfaces with gaps and irregularities such as woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. From a safety point of view, a commercially available flame-retardant double-sided adhesive tape may be used. (Example: No. 500 manufactured by Nitto Denko, #7565 manufactured by Teraoka Seisakusho) The double-faced adhesive tape can be used as a template by cutting an opening in advance. Cutting can be done with scissors or a cutter, but a jig such as a Thomson blade can also be used for more accurate cutting.
The cushioning material sheet used in the present invention is made of plastic resin such as polyethylene, urethane, silicone or vinyl chloride with a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 5 mm, preferably 0.8 mm to 3 mm, more preferably 1 mm. It shows a cushioning film, sheet and/or net-like thing molded in the range of from 2.5 mm. In the case of a net, a mesh of 5 mm square or less, preferably 4 mm square, more preferably 3.5 mm square or less is used. The sheet may be plain (flat), embossed, perforated, woven or knitted and/or surface treated such as water repellent, antimicrobial or the like.
When it is provided as a fan unit kit for air-cooled clothing, it can be provided in a state in which it is pre-integrated with double-sided adhesive tape and cut in order to facilitate attachment.
In the present invention, it is important that the size of the double-sided adhesive tape and the cushioning material sheet of the fan unit kit for air-cooled clothing be the same size. The shape of the double-sided adhesive tape and the buffer sheet is an ellipse including a circle and a convex polygon including a quadrangle, and an opening is provided in the approximate center. It is desirable that the edge after cutting the opening is at least 2 mm or more, preferably 3 mm or more. The size of the opening should be the same as the diameter of the body of the fan cover to be installed Double-sided adhesive tape and cushioning material sheet The size of the opening is not only from the viewpoint of preventing fraying and wrinkling of the opening, but also an important factor that affects the shape stability of the air-cooled clothing of the present invention and the retention and maintenance of the attached fan and performance. It is desirable to match the size of the opening in the clothing.
For stable operation of the fan, the double-sided adhesive tape and cushioning sheet area, including the opening, ranges from 1.15 times to 2.5 times the area of the opening. If it is less than 1.15 times, the clothing will be deformed more after the fan is attached, tending to lower the durability. Preferably, it is 1.2 times to 2.4 times.
To provide a means for easily tailoring the air-cooled clothing of the present invention in a shorter period of time. The fan unit kit for air-cooled clothing simplifies the member structure consisting of the fan body including the power supply and harness, the fan cover, the paper pattern for cutting the opening for mounting the fan, the double-sided adhesive tape, and the cushioning material sheet. For this reason, double-sided adhesive tape with openings punched in advance can also be used as a template. For easier installation, the cushioning sheet can also be pre-punched with openings and integrated with the double-sided adhesive tape.
In the air-cooled clothing of the present invention, after selecting an appropriate clothing, the fan unit kit for air-cooled clothing is used to mark the clothing with a paper pattern provided with the size of the opening at the desired position, and then the opening is cut. do. Next, the double-faced adhesive tape and the cushioning material sheet are brought into close contact with each other in alignment with the position of the opening. There is no particular problem with the power supply and harness as they are, but they can be attached to the clothing near the fan with tape, Velcro, or string. Alternatively, the length of the harness may be adjusted, and the harness may be attached in an easy-to-use manner such as protruding from the outside of the clothing and hanging from the neck.
Although it does not limit the present invention, in a place where there is a lot of dust in the outside air, the fan cover may have a filter sewn to the clothing or attached with Velcro. As the filter material, one or more of resin filters such as cloth, non-woven fabric, and foamed polyurethane are used in combination. A preferable material is a foamed polyurethane filter, and more preferably a urethane sponge filter with a three-dimensional network structure is selected. .
The most preferable urethane sponge filter has a density in the range of 20 kgm 3 to 45 kgm 3 and the number of cells in the range of 8 cells/25 mm to 25 cells/25 mm. An ester-based urethane sponge filter with a three-dimensional network structure and its equivalent. is. (Example, Strider Co., ester sponge filter MF-13
If the filter characteristics are the same, a urethane foamed resin filter to which flame retardance has been imparted or functions such as activated carbon powder have been added can also be used. (Example: Bridgestone Everlight) Also, when installing, it is desirable that the filter be removed from the fan unit after use, washed with water or neutral detergent, and reused multiple times with chemical durability. Freedom of fashion and design For added intensity, the opening can be covered with the same fabric as the clothing, and the cover can be removed only when necessary.
The position where the fan unit is attached can be determined according to the desired design. In the case of adults, it is preferable to attach fan units to the left and right of the lower front part of the jacket, usually at the pocket position, or to the left and right of the lower back part of the jacket. In the case of children, it is preferable to mount one at the upper part of the center at the back, and for small pets, it is preferable to mount one near the center of the dorsal side.
Although not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, the air-cooled clothing of the present invention is intended for humans with a body weight of 10 kg or more and 100 kg or less, more preferably children to adults weighing 15 kg to 80 kg.
