Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001] The present invention is particularly suitable for a person who swims for rehabilitation, a young child, etc., and is also suitable for easy wearing as a supplement regardless of whether or not the person can swim. Regarding auxiliary equipment.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, various proposals have been made as swimming aids. This includes, for example, those in which the float is attached to the front and back of the upper body (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-10300). Since the belt is worn, there is a drawback that the belt is cumbersome when worn, and buoyancy stability in water cannot be obtained due to lack of close contact with the body.

[0003] Next, there is a jacket-type clothing in which a flat float is installed (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 55-146398). With this, stability of buoyancy is relatively obtained, but since it has a jacket shape that does not open forward, it is necessary to insert it from the neck when wearing it, which is also not easy to attach and detach. Regarding this point, since a float made of foamed plastic or the like is used for the float, it lacks flexibility like an armor, and it is extremely difficult to pass through the arm. There was a problem that helping a child or a child was difficult. Therefore, in order to make it easy to bend, the place where the float was put was also partial, and it was not suitable for obtaining large buoyancy.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In view of the above circumstances, this device is easy to attach and detach, stable in buoyancy, and easy to obtain large buoyancy, even for people with limited physical freedom. The aim was to provide swimming aids.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this invention is a waistcoat type which has an arm loop between the back body and the left and right front bodies which can be completely opened, and which is stopped and worn in front, and the rear body And the front body are each provided with a plate-shaped or board-shaped float, and at least the horizontal and vertical widths are set so that the gap between the back float around the back and the left and right breast float around the chest can be extended elastically. Another object of the present invention is to provide a swim assisting device characterized by being sewn with stretchable fabric.

[0006] Since the swim assist device is configured as described above, when wearing the swim assist device, it is possible not only to eliminate the difficult movement of passing through the torso or legs, but also to expand and contract the left and right front bodies so that the arms cannot be held by the left and right arms. In addition to being able to open wide, the arm opening is wide open sideways, making the wearing operation simple and easy. In addition, since the float comes into close contact with the body due to the elasticity, the stability of the buoyancy can be obtained. Furthermore, since the obstacles of the strong floating are extremely reduced, a wider one can be used.

[0007] It is convenient for washing when the back body and the front body are formed with pockets into which floats can be freely inserted and removed.

[0008] Furthermore, if each pocket into which a float is inserted is formed independently of the outer material on the back surface and the outer material freely expands and contracts laterally with respect to each pocket, the degree of expansion and contraction increases. Furthermore, wearing becomes easy.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment, FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment, and FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment. FIG. 6 shows a common wearing state.

[0011] In any of the embodiments, the swim-assisting device P is a waistcoat comprising a back body 1 and left and right front bodies 2, 2, so that the space between the front bodies 2, 2 is completely open. It has become. The back body 1 and the two front bodies 2 and 2 are provided with a board-like or plate-like back float 3 and chest floats 5 and 5 which are similar to each other, respectively. In addition, both front bodies 2 and 2 are stopped by slide fasteners 7. This may be a button or the like. Further, the lower end may be fastened with a band.

1 and 2, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the back pocket 13, the front pocket, and the front pockets 9, 10, 10 and the linings 11, 12, 12 are provided. , 15 and 15. The outer materials 9, 10, 10 and the linings 11, 12, 12 are separately cut into a back body 1 and a front body 2, 2 and sewn together for convenience of sewing and the like. Seams 18, 18 are provided in the middle of the arm loop 16.

With respect to the back pocket 13, the outer material 9 and the lining 11 meet from the lower edge inside edge to the lower edge of the arm loops 16 on both sides, and the back pocket 13 floats between the two joining portions 19, 19. Is held. In addition, in order to be able to put in and out, the lining 11 is separated around the spine, two separating edges 13a and 13b are overlapped together, the lower end is joined, and the floating 3 is inserted above the joining portion 20. Opening 23. The configuration of the pocket 13 may be variously considered. For example, the separation edges 13a and 13b may be obliquely crossed (the embodiment in FIG. 5). Moreover, you may make it separate up and down.

As for the left and right front pockets 15, the outer material 10 and the lining 12 meet from the outer edge of the lower end to the lower edge of the arm loop 16, and a space between the joining portion 21 and the edge of the front body 2 is formed. It is comprised in. In this case, it is of a vertical type, in which the lining 15 is separated at the upper end, the separating edge 15a of the lower fabric is overlapped on the separating edge 15b of the upper fabric, and the float 5 is inserted between them. The mouth 25.

The shape of the back buoy 3 and the breast buoys 5 and 5 are similar to the back body 1 and the front bodies 2 and 2, respectively, having almost the same size. In order to be regulated by the attachment portions 19 and 21, considerable intervals M and M are generated between the back float 3 and the breast floats 5 and 5.

The outer fabrics 9, 10, and 10 and the linings 11, 12, and 12 are made of tricot fabric that expands and contracts vertically and horizontally. For this reason, the above-mentioned gaps M, M are opened by the cloth being stretched to the side as a whole, and at the same time, the arm loops 16, 16 are also opened to the side, so that the arm can be easily passed through it. However, the cloth is easily stretched mainly at the intervals M and M because of the floating 3, 5, 5 and friction with the body. In the second embodiment described later, the friction is reduced as much as possible to make the film particularly large and easy to expand.

For the floats 3, 5, and 5, a sponge-like plate made of a closed-cell soft plastic foam was used. However, if the floats are held in a plate or board shape, other floats such as air bags may be used. good. In order to adjust the buoyancy, not only one sheet but also two or three sheets are stacked so as to be stacked (see a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2).

The swim assisting device P according to the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has outer pockets 9, 10, and 10 for each of the pockets 13, 15, and 15. That is, in the back pocket 13, the inner and outer fabrics 33a and 33b are formed, and the upper and lower edges and the inner edges of the arm loops 16 and 16 are connected to the outer material 9 by aggression. Can be separated without being done. The left and right front pockets 15, 15 are also constituted by inner and outer fabrics 35 a, 35 b, which are arranged at the upper and lower ends, the outer edge, and the outer edge of the arm pass 16 with respect to the outer material 10, 10. Connected, but not escorted elsewhere.

Therefore, below the positions of the arm loops 16, 16, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer materials 9, 10, 10 are connected only at the front pockets 15, 15 at both ends. There is no friction with the floats 3, 5, and 5, even if there is friction with the pockets 13, 15, and 15. Also, since there is no contact with the body, only the outer fabric 9, 10, and 10 have elasticity. Since the arms are opened wider and the arm passages 16 and 16 are also opened at the same time, the operation of passing the arms becomes very easy.

The outer materials 9, 10, and 10 can be made of one piece of cloth. Also, since it is a waistcoat type worn only on the upper body, a swimsuit W is required when worn (FIG. 6).

[0021]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the swim assist device of the present invention, the vest type is a vest type that fully opens, and the stretch of the fabric allows the arm to pass through together with the front body. Even if an inflexible float is installed, it is easy to perform arm movements and is easy to wear without being hindered by it, especially if you have limited physical freedom for rehabilitation, Difficulty when worn by childish children is eliminated. In addition, there is an excellent effect that a large buoyancy can be obtained because the buoyancy can be widened, and that the buoyancy is easily stabilized because the body is in close contact with the body.

In particular, when the outer material has a degree of freedom (claim 3), the wear becomes easier and the effect is remarkable.
