[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shoulder protector for preventing a shoulder strap such as a shoulder bag from biting into the shoulder, and more particularly to a technique for preventing the shoulder strap from slipping off.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various protectors have been devised to reduce the load on the shoulder.

Basically, a protector is interposed between a shoulder and a shoulder strap of a bag or the like so that the shoulder strap does not directly cut into the shoulder.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the shoulder is inclined downward from the neck side toward the arm side, and the shoulder strap hung on the protector tends to slip from the neck side to the upper arm side.

Therefore, in order to regulate the movement of the shoulder strap, the arm side is raised so that the upper surface of the protector on which the shoulder strap is hung is opposite to the inclination of the shoulder, and the shoulder strap should be on the arm side. It has been devised so as not to shift.

However, the inclination of the shoulder is the so-called "neck shoulder".
It was difficult to adapt to all shoulder shapes because there was a large individual difference from to "Ikari shoulder".

Further, there is a problem that the protector sways and becomes unstable because the inertia acts greatly as the position for receiving the shoulder strap moves away from the shoulder.

An object of the present invention is to provide a shoulder protector having a simple structure and capable of reliably preventing the shoulder strap from slipping off regardless of the shape of the shoulder.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a protector body for reducing the load acting on the shoulder through the shoulder strap is interposed between the shoulder and the shoulder strap. The shoulder protector was worn on the shoulder
The arm side toward the upper surface of the protector body in the state from the neck side
It is configured to incline downward once, and along the front and rear side edges of the protector body along the inclination of the upper surface of the protector body.
It is characterized in that a regulation means for regulating the slipping of the shoulder strap is provided.

The regulating means is characterized by being formed by an inclined surface with which the shoulder strap is engaged.

The protector body is a flat member.

The inclined surface formed on the side edge portion of the protector body is characterized in that the width of the protector body in the longitudinal direction of the body becomes wider from the neck side to the arm side.

The protector body is made of a material having elasticity.

The surface of the protector body is anti-slip.

It is characterized in that the protector main body surface is provided with a non-slip layer.

A cushion member is provided at the contact portion of the protector body with the body.

The protector body is characterized in that a reinforcing layer is added to the surface of a material having a high cushioning property.

The protector body is provided with a shoulder strap holding member for holding the shoulder strap up and down.

[0019]

In the present invention, the shoulder strap engages with the restricting means constituted by the inclined surface or the like provided on the side edge portion of the protector body to prevent the shoulder strap from slipping down to the arm side. Therefore, unlike the conventional idea of preventing the shoulder strap from slipping off by making an angle in the thickness direction, it is not necessary to individually adjust the angle regardless of the shape of each person's shoulder.

Further, since the shoulder straps engage with each other on both side edges of the protector body, and the engaging position of the shoulder straps serves as a point of action of the load, the load has a fulcrum at the central portion of the protector body which comes into contact with the shoulders. It acts in a balanced state before and after the body, and bears the load in a well-balanced manner.

In the case where the restricting means is constituted by the inclined surface, even if the shoulder strap is displaced toward the arm side due to the inclination of the shoulder, the shoulder strap and the inclined surface are opened because the shoulder strap opens along the inclination of the inclined surface. And the frictional resistance is also increased, and the slipping of the shoulder strap can be effectively prevented.

Further, if the flat plate is used, the shoulder strap and the protector main body are structurally highly adherent, and it is not necessary to provide an unnecessary anti-slip surface or groove at the contact portion between the shoulder strap and the protector main body.

Further, since the belt receiving surface is flat and has a large area, it is highly versatile regardless of the belt width and type. In addition, when the area is large, the mounting position on the shoulder can be rather rough, and there is no discomfort during mounting due to incorrect usage.

In particular, the inclined surface of the protector body side edge is
If the shape gradually widens toward the arm side, contact with the clavicle can be avoided, and the wearing feeling will be excellent.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on the illustrated embodiments.

1 and 2 show a shoulder protector according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This shoulder protector is provided with a protector main body 3 interposed between a shoulder 1 and a shoulder strap 2 such as a shoulder bag, and reduces the load acting on the shoulder 1 through the shoulder strap 2.

The protector main body 3 is a flat plate-shaped member, and its typical shape is a fan shape as shown in the figure.
It is used by putting it on the shoulder 1 so that the angle is closed toward and the opening is opened toward the joint with the arm 5. Then, inclinations with which the shoulder straps 2 are engaged with the fan-shaped side edge portions of the protector main body 3 located in front of and behind the body so as to restrict the shoulder straps 2 from moving from the neck 4 side toward the arm 5 side. Surfaces 6 and 6 are provided, and the inclined surfaces 6 and 6 constitute the regulating means of the present invention.

The inclined surfaces 6 and 6 are linearly opened in a "C" shape so that the width of the protector main body 3 in the front-back direction of the body becomes wider from the neck 4 side to the arm 5 side. The neck side end portion 7 of the protector body 3 has a small-diameter circular arc shape that is recessed toward the arm side, and the arm side end portion 8 has a large-diameter circular arc shape that projects toward the arm side.

Since the shoulder 1 is convexly curved upward, when the flat plate-shaped protector body 3 is placed, the central portion 9 of the protector body 3 comes into contact with the shoulder 1 and the front and rear side edge portions 10 are formed. , 10 is lifted from the shoulder 1.

When the shoulder strap 2 is hung on the protector body 3, the shoulder strap 2 engages with the inclined surfaces 6, 6 of the side edges 10, 10 of the protector body 3.
