Abstract

(57) [abstract] (with correction) [Problem] The upper part of the front float and the back float can be freely folded up and down as needed without wrapping the upper body fixedly like a conventional life jacket or life vest Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a life jacket that does not impair the mobility of the upper body, maintains appropriate buoyancy, and does not suffer from heat and heat without impairing the heat retaining effect. A front float (1) that covers the chest from the abdomen of the body and a back float (2) that covers the back, and the upper half of each of the front float (1) and the back float (2) can be freely folded up and down freely. The front flap 3
And the rear flap 4 and the front float 1
Upper right and left shoulder belts of left and right shoulders of back float 2
And a connection via a left shoulder belt 9.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sport buoyancy aid worn on a yacht, canoe, fishing, or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional technologies include life jackets and life vests worn on the upper body, all of which have a structure in which the upper body is always wrapped.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Life jackets and life vests according to the prior art have a built-in buoyancy body and are thick, and because they are worn so as to enclose the upper body, the upper body becomes cramped and mobility is impaired. It is difficult to use it when free movement of the upper body and arms is required, such as yacht or fishing, and it is difficult to heat at high temperatures.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the inventor changed the life jacket method that wraps the upper body, so that the front float that should be a buoyant body on the front abdomen and the back float that should be a buoyant body on the rear rear part should be in the upper half. A front flap and a back flap which can be freely opened and closed in a vertical direction and which are in a floating state are formed. The front flap and the back flap normally hang down to the outside of the front float and the back float by their own weights, thereby maintaining the upper body's mobility during normal times, while maintaining the front flap only when water falls. And the back flap itself opens upward to be integrated with the front and back floats to increase the buoyancy, and the right shoulders on the left and right shoulders at the tips of the front and back flap shoulders When it is necessary to wrap the entire front and back of the body by providing a band and a left shoulder band, the front flap and the back flap are each lifted upward by hanging the left and right shoulder bands on the left and right shoulders. And cover the entire body from the abdomen to the chest and back. It has a structure that can be.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the above means, the front flap, which is the upper half of the front float, and the rear flap, which is the upper half of the rear float, are lowered by their own weights unless they are lifted upward by the left and right shoulder belts. Because it hangs down and is folded, it does not hinder free movement of both arms and does not hinder torsion movement of the upper body, so that the upper body can move smoothly and the temperature in summer, etc. Even when high, it can be worn comfortably without being hot because it does not wrap around the upper body like a life jacket. In addition, when the water falls, each of the front flap and the back flap is floating, so that it automatically jumps above the front float and the back float with its buoyancy above the body, that is, above the body. As a buoyant body from the lower abdomen to the abdomen on the front, and from the waist to the back on the back, the body can be sandwiched from the front and back, so that it can float in the water in a stable posture. Also, if the right and left shoulder bands are hung on the shoulder, the front float and the back float can be raised, and thus can wrap the upper body of the body.

[0006]

【Example】

 The embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a front float, and 2 denotes a back float. 4 is formed. Further, in the present embodiment, the front flap 3 is divided vertically to the right and left to the abdomen at the center to form a right flap 5 and a left flap 6, and the right flap 5 and the left flap 6 are separated by a fastener at the divided surface. 7 allows the connection to be freely opened. Reference numeral 8 denotes a right shoulder belt, which connects the right ends of the right flap 5 and the back flap 4 to each other. Reference numeral 9 denotes a left shoulder belt, which connects the left ends of the left flap 6 and the back flap 4 to each other. The right shoulder belt 8 and the left shoulder belt 9 are to be put on the right shoulder and the left shoulder, respectively, so that the right flap 5 and the left flap 6 and the back flap 4 are raised upward, thereby covering the entire chest and the back. Is closed, the right flap 5 and the left flap 6 are integrally connected. Numeral 10 denotes a waist belt, which is a belt for tightening the whole of the front float 1 and the rear float 2 to the body to prevent them from falling off.

[0007]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, unlike a conventional life jacket or life jacket that wraps the entire upper body in a buoyant body, the upper body can be worn only on the waist from above the body, so the upper body is not tightened, and therefore the upper body The motility of the front and rear floats and the self-emerging right and left flaps can be obtained only when the water falls, so that buoyancy in an effective and stable posture can be obtained without impairing the mobility of Most parts of the upper body are open even when the temperature is high, so there is an effect that it can be worn comfortably without heat, and, as in this example, the left and right shoulder bands can be hung on the shoulder to open and close the zipper. By connecting and opening the left and right flaps, it can be used as a life jacket that easily covers the entire upper body with the chest open. To it can be. Also, in winter, the right and left flaps and the back flap can wrap the entire front chest and back of the body, so that its heat insulation properties can keep the entire upper body warm.
