Description

This proposal relates to a rucksack provided with a buoyant body, a light emitting body or a waterproof specification.

Generally, a rucksack is configured by providing a shoulder belt in a storage portion, and is used by carrying it on the back. It has been proposed that such rucksacks should be packed with drinking water, foodstuffs, and other items to be carried in an emergency in advance in case of a natural disaster.

In the event of a disaster, if a water accident such as a flood or tsunami occurs with a rucksack on your back, the weight of the rucksack containing your luggage may deprive the wearer of buoyancy and make it more dangerous. Therefore, a rucksack that floats on water with a buoyant body built in the back surface or the bottom surface of the rucksack storage portion has been proposed.

Jitsukaisho 53-119208 Gazette Patent No. 6692589

However, although the above-mentioned rucksack or the like improves the problem of buoyancy in the event of a water accident, there is a problem that the original effect of the buoyancy body cannot be fully exerted when the rucksack or its contents absorb water. Therefore, by making the rucksack waterproof, it is possible to prevent an increase in weight due to water immersion or water absorption in the rucksack or its contents, and to secure sufficient buoyancy.

In addition, it is often difficult to see the victims after sunset or in the dark due to poor visibility, and the rescue work is unavoidably terminated. Therefore, by providing the rucksack with a light emitting function, it is easy to find the wearer even in the dark or in the distance.

The invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a buoyant body is provided on the back surface or shoulder belt of the rucksack, a light emitting body is provided on the front surface, side surfaces, shoulder belt or handle portion of the rucksack, and the rucksack body is provided with waterproof specifications. By providing a rucksack, the above-mentioned problems will be solved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the buoyant body provided on the back surface of the rucksack main body or the shoulder belt portion according to the first aspect is a foaming agent.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the light emitting body provided on the front surface, the side surface, the shoulder belt or the handle portion of the rucksack main body according to the first aspect is an LED.

In the invention according to claim 4, the material of the rucksack according to claim 1 has a waterproof effect.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the rucksack according to the first aspect incorporates a GPS device for specifying the position of the user.

By wearing the rucksack of the present invention, it is possible to avoid being submerged in the event of a water accident due to the effect of the buoyant body and improve the survivability. In addition, due to the waterproof effect of the rucksack body, it is possible to prevent the contents from being deprived of buoyancy and being damaged due to the water absorption of the contents due to water wetting. The effect of the light emitter built into the rucksack makes it easy to find the wearer in the dark or from a distance, and the effect of the built-in GPS makes it possible to identify the position of the wearer. By utilizing the equipment of the present invention, it is possible to make pet animals wear it.

(A) and (B) are perspective views showing a rucksack according to an embodiment of the present invention. (A), (B) and (C) are diagrams showing an example of using a rucksack which is an embodiment of the present invention.

A waterproof rucksack body with a waterproof coating or made of a waterproof material is equipped with a buoyancy body to ensure buoyancy, allowing it to float from the water in the event of a flood or tsunami. Reduce. Further, by equipping the rucksack body with a light emitter and GPS, it is easy to search and find in the dark.

A preferred embodiment of the rucksack according to the present invention will be described. The buoyant body provided on the back surface of the rucksack body or the shoulder belt portion is better as having a smaller specific density and less water absorption. For example, polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene or the like foamed, EVA or the like.

The light emitting body provided on the front surface, side surface, shoulder belt or handle portion of the rucksack body should have low power consumption, long life, and a small size. For example, LED and the like. The emission color may be any color, but it is particularly desirable that the emission color is high in visibility from a distance and in the dark and has sufficient brightness. The power of the light emitter is supplied from a battery or the like provided in the rucksack. The type of battery does not matter, but it is desirable that the light emitter can be kept lit for a sufficient period of time. From the viewpoint of space saving, button type batteries and the like are desirable. The battery may be replaceable, but it is desirable to incorporate it in the rucksack to prevent water from getting wet due to the waterproof effect of the rucksack. From the viewpoint of preventing battery consumption, it is desirable to be able to switch on and off with a switch. The switch should be in a position that is easy to use when worn. For example, a shoulder belt portion, a handle portion, and the like. Alternatively, the attachment / detachment of the buckle portion may also serve as a switch and may be linked with turning on / off.

It is desirable that the material of the rucksack is as light as possible, has a certain degree of flexibility and strength, and has sufficient waterproofness. For example, PVC, cotton, linen and other fabrics coated or laminated. Regarding waterproofness, the water pressure resistance is 2,000 mm or more, preferably 10,000 mm or more, and most preferably 20,000 mm or more.

It is desirable that the opening of the rucksack be waterproof. For example, the waterproof fastener of Japanese Patent No. 6692589 may be used.

When molding a rucksack, it is desirable to devise ways to improve waterproofness by welding, etc. instead of stitching.

As a function incidental to the rucksack, a GPS device may be built in to facilitate the rescue of the user.

The rucksack of the present invention may be worn by a pet animal by using a shoulder belt and a waist belt.

Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. When resting in the water and waiting for rescue, hold it in front of you as shown in Fig. 2 (A), or secure the buoyancy to bring your head out to the water while carrying it on your back as shown in Fig. 2 (B).

When moving by yourself in the water, as shown in Fig. 2 (C), hold it in the front and use the fluttering legs or arms to water it instead of the kickboard. You may take the form of a backstroke while carrying it on your back as shown in FIG. 2 (B).
