Description

  This invention relates to a wet suit used in marine sports such as diving and surfing.

  In general, a wet suit is formed by integrally sewing a human body shape with an elastic material such as chloroprene rubber. The wet suit is provided with a detachable opening extending downward from the collar portion and a slide fastener that opens and closes the detachable opening. When the wet suit is attached or detached, the collar is opened by opening the slide fastener. After the detachable opening extending from the part is formed, the lower body is inserted from the leg through the detachable opening, or the lower body is removed from the buttocks.

  As such a detachable opening 101x of the wet suit 100, for example, on the back side, it has been proposed and known to be formed substantially linearly along the spine from the collar portion to the waist portion of the stretchable material 101 (see FIG. 5, see FIG.

  By the way, since the slide fastener is provided to open and close the attachment / detachment opening of the wet suit, the slide fastener comes into contact with the back, and an unpleasant wearing state with a relatively hard touch is forced. For this reason, in order to prevent the slide fastener from coming into contact with the back, it has been proposed to provide a flap that covers the slide fastener on the back side of the stretchable material. There was a problem of biting the flap. When the slide fastener bites the flap, it is difficult for the user to eliminate the bite on the back side, except by forcibly pulling down the slide fastener while unraveling the edge of the flap. The bite with the flap had to be resolved.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides a wet suit capable of preventing the biting of the flap by the slide fastener as much as possible when opening and closing the opening and closing through the slide fastener. To do.

  The present invention is a wet suit that is integrally sewn in the shape of a human body with an elastic material, and a slide that forms an attachment / detachment opening in the elastic material and opens and closes the attachment / detachment opening across the back of the left and right elastic materials sandwiching the attachment / detachment opening A fastener is provided, and a flap having a folded portion is provided on one back side of the left and right stretchable materials sandwiching the attachment / detachment opening so as to cover the slide fastener.

  According to the present invention, the corner portion of the end surface by cutting the flap is provided by providing the flap having the folded portion covering the slide fastener on the back side of one of the left and right elastic materials sandwiching the attachment opening. It does not occur on the slide fastener. Therefore, when the slide fastener is operated to open and close the attachment / detachment opening, it is possible to prevent as much as possible the bite of the flap by the slide fastener.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the attachment / detachment opening is formed from a collar portion on the back side of the stretchable material through the left and right waist portions to a front thigh portion at a position substantially corresponding to the crotch portion. Thus, by opening the slide fastener, it is possible to form a large detachable opening that extends from the back collar portion of the stretchable material to a position that substantially corresponds to the user's crotch. Accordingly, the user can insert the leg into the lower body part of the wet suit through the attachment / detachment opening, and can pull up the lower body part to get over the buttocks with almost no resistance and can be easily worn. Further, the lower body part of the wet suit can be pulled down to get over the buttocks with almost no resistance, and the lower body part can be taken off from the leg and removed easily.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the attachment / detachment opening is formed from a sleeve portion of the arm portion of the stretchable material to a position corresponding to the elbow or from a hem portion of the leg portion to a position corresponding to the knee. Accordingly, the gap between the upper arm and the forearm or the gap between the upper leg and the lower leg can be easily overcome, and the arm or the leg can be attached to and detached from the arm or the leg part of the wet suit with almost no resistance.

  According to the present invention, when the detachable opening is opened via the slide fastener, it is possible to prevent the flap from being bitten by the slide fastener as much as possible.

It is a front view which shows one Embodiment of the wet suit of this invention. It is a rear view of the wet suit of FIG. It is a rear view which expands and shows partially the slide fastener of the wet suit of FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the AA line cross section of FIG. 3 typically. It is a front view which shows the conventional wet suit. FIG. 6 is a rear view of the wet suit of FIG. 5.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 and 2 show an embodiment of the wet suit 1 of the present invention.

  This wet suit 1 is formed into a human body shape by cutting an elastic material 2 such as soft rubber, for example, chloroprene rubber, into a plurality of parts corresponding to each part of the human body and sewing them together. The wet suit 1 has a detachable opening that extends in a gentle arc from the back collar of the stretchable material 2 to the front through the right waist and to the right thigh at a position corresponding to the crotch. 2x is formed. In the wet suit 1, a slide fastener 3 is sewn across the back surfaces of the left and right stretchable materials 2 sandwiching the attachment / detachment opening 2x so that the attachment / detachment opening 2x can be opened and closed.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the slide fastener 3 has a large number of metal or resin-made elements (service teeth) 32 attached to the tape 31 and a slider between the paired left and right elements 32. By moving the slider 33 via the handle 34, the left and right opposing elements 32 are engaged and closed, while when the slider 33 is moved reversely, the engaged left and right elements 32 are separated and opened. In the slide fastener 3, the left and right tapes 31 are respectively sewn from the upper end to the lower end of the detachable opening 2x on the back side near the edge portions of the left and right stretchable materials 2 facing each other across the detachable opening 2x. .

  Therefore, if the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3 is moved and the element 32 is engaged and closed, the detachable opening 2x is closed by the closed slide fastener 3, and the slider 3 is moved in the opposite direction to release the element 32. If opened, the attachment / detachment opening 2x is opened through the opened slide fastener 3, and the user can attach / detach the wet suit 1 through the attachment / detachment opening 2x.

  Note that a lead 4 having a set length is connected to a handle 34 of the slider 33 in the slide fastener 3. By grasping the lead 4 and pulling it upward over the back, the slider 33 is pulled up and the slide fastener 3 is lifted. On the contrary, by pulling down the lead 4 downward, the slider 33 is pulled down and the slide fastener 3 can be opened.

  On the other hand, the edge portions of the left and right stretchable materials 2 facing each other with the detachable opening 2x sandwiched and sewn by the cover 21 from the upper end to the lower end of the detachable opening 2x, the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3 is stretchable. Biting the edge of the material 2 is prevented. That is, the stretchable material 2 has a thickness of about 2 to 3 mm, and an end surface having a corner portion is formed when the stretchable material 2 is cut corresponding to the detachable opening 2x. For this reason, when the slider 33 is moved, it may occur that the corner portion on the front surface side or the back surface side of the end surface of the stretchable material 2 is bitten, but the cover 21 wraps the end edge portion of the stretchable material 2. By covering, the corner portion of the end surface of the stretchable material 2 is not exposed, and the biting of the end edge portion of the stretchable material 2 by the slider 33 can be reliably prevented.

  Further, in order to prevent the element 32 and the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3 from coming into direct contact with the back or the like, of the left and right stretchable materials 2 sandwiching the attachment / detachment opening 2x, the vicinity of the edge portion of one stretchable material 2 is used. On the back surface side, a flap 5 made of a stretchable material is sewn together with one tape 31 with a length extending from the upper end to the lower end of the attachment / detachment opening 2x and a width extending to a position beyond the other tape 31. Specifically, the flap 5 is folded back at a position beyond the other tape 31 and formed into a bag shape, and the double free edge that is folded is the edge of one stretchable material 2. It is sewn in the vicinity. Therefore, the flap 5 does not have a corner portion of the end face by cutting facing the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3. For this reason, when moving the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3, it can prevent reliably that the slider 33 bites the flap 5. FIG. Further, the flap 5 is folded back and formed in a double shape, so that the thickness of the flap 5 can be increased and the depression on the back can be filled.

  The flap 5 may be formed by folding a flat elastic material into a double shape, or by folding a circular elastic material into a flat shape.

  Next, the attaching / detaching work of the wet suit 1 configured as described above will be described.

  First, the user pulls down the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3 using the lead 4, opens the slide fastener 3, and opens the attachment / detachment opening 2x. Then, the wet suit 1 is inserted in order through the attachment / detachment openings 2x with the left and right legs open, and the legs are pulled up along the left and right legs. Get over. At this time, since the lower end of the detachable opening 2x is in the thigh at a position substantially corresponding to the crotch, an opening that substantially coincides with the circumference of the user's hip is formed, and the hip can be overcome with almost no resistance. it can.

  If the lower body is inserted into the wet suit 1, the left and right arms are inserted into the arms in turn, and then the lead 4 is turned around the shoulder and lifted over the back, so that the slider 33 moves upward to engage the element 32. Thus, the detachable opening 2x can be closed by the closed slide fastener 3.

  Here, when the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3 is moved, the slider 33 is prevented from biting into the edge portions of the left and right stretchable materials 2 or the flap 5 facing each other with the attachment / detachment opening 2x interposed therebetween, and is smoothly attached / detached. The opening 2x can be closed. That is, when the wet suit 1 is worn, the detachable opening 2x opens in a substantially triangular shape starting from the slider 33, and the positional relationship in which the folded edge of the flap 5 faces the slider 33 may occur. There is no corner at the folded end edge, and the slider 33 can be reliably prevented from biting the flap 5. Further, the edge portions of the left and right stretchable materials 2 are encased by the cover 21 so that the corners of the end faces are not exposed, and the slider 33 is reliably prevented from biting the edge portions of the left and right stretchable materials 2. it can. Thus, when the user wears the wet suit 1, the user can smoothly operate the slide fastener 3 without causing interruption due to the bite, and has the trouble of having the third party release the bite. In addition to being released, even a single user can wear it with peace of mind.

  When the operation of the slide fastener 3 is completed, although not shown in detail, one end of the collar is wound so as to cover the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3 and is fastened using a hook-and-loop fastener.

  On the other hand, when the wet suit 1 is taken off, the operation may be reversed. Specifically, after releasing the collar, the lead 4 is grasped and pulled down over the back, and the slider 33 is moved downward to release the engagement of the element 32 and open the slide fastener 3. A large detachable opening 2x is opened from the side collar to the front thigh. Next, the left and right arms are sequentially extracted from the arm portion of the wet suit 1 and then pulled down so as to get over the buttocks while slightly expanding the portion corresponding to the buttocks. Furthermore, if the part corresponding to the buttocks of the wet suit gets over the buttocks, the left and right legs may be extracted from the legs in order.

  Even when the wet suit 1 is detached, when the slider 33 of the slide fastener 3 is moved, the slider 33 does not bite into the edge portions of the left and right stretchable materials 2 and the flaps 5 and the butt is easy. As described above, it is possible to overcome this problem.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the attachment / detachment opening 2x that goes from the collar on the back side to the right thigh on the front side through the right waist is formed is illustrated. The detachable opening 2x that wraps around the left thigh on the side may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the flap 5 is provided mainly corresponding to the attaching / detaching opening 2x formed on the back side is exemplified. However, if the attaching / detaching opening is opened and closed via the slide fastener 3, the slide fastener is used. In order to prevent biting 3, a flap can be provided corresponding to an arbitrary attachment / detachment opening. That is, when attaching / detaching the user's arm or leg, in order to easily get over the gap between the upper arm and the forearm, or the gap between the upper leg and the lower leg, the arm part of the wet suit 1 is extended from the sleeve part to the position corresponding to the elbow. Alternatively, the detachable openings can be formed from the hem of the leg portion to the position corresponding to the knee, and these detachable openings can be opened and closed via the slide fastener 3. In such a case, the slide fastener 3 In order to prevent biting, it is preferable to provide a flap 5 on the back side.
