BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a heating garment, and more particularly to a heating garment that can warm a body even outdoors in a severe winter season.
[0002]
[Prior art]
With the recent widespread use of air conditioning equipment, it has become possible to operate relatively comfortably indoors even if it is lightly worn in the harsh winter, but if you do not wear a coat or down jacket, the body temperature will still decrease. End up.
[0003]
When working outdoors in the severe winter season, a so-called disposable body warmer is attached to clothing and heated.
[0004]
There has also been proposed a heating garment in which a heater is attached to the garment to heat the garment (see Utility Model Registration No. 3008373).
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, because Cairo warms the body partly, many warmers are needed to warm the whole body.
[0006]
Further, since the conventional heating garment uses a commercial power source, there is a problem that it cannot be used outdoors.
[0007]
This invention makes it a subject to provide the heating clothing which enabled it to warm a body also in the outdoors of a severe winter season in view of this problem.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, in the heating garment according to the present invention, the garment is provided with a heating heater and a pocket, and a portable power source and a controller are accommodated in the pocket, and the energization from the portable power source to the heating heater is controlled by the controller. It is characterized by that.
[0009]
One of the features of the present invention is that a heating heater and a pocket are provided in a garment, and a portable power source, for example, a battery, a dry cell, and a controller are placed and held, and energization of the heating heater is controlled by the controller.
[0010]
Thereby, it is not necessary to use a commercial power source, the inside of the clothing can be warmed to an appropriate temperature, and the outdoor activity in the severe winter season can be greatly improved.
[0011]
The form of the clothes is not particularly limited, and may be a front opening form or a non-front opening form. The clothing may be in the form of long sleeves, may be in the form of short sleeves, or may be in the form of sleeveless removal.
[0012]
The heating heater and the pocket may be provided directly on the clothing, or the inner body may be detachably provided inside the clothing body, and the heating heater and the pocket may be provided on the inner body. In particular, the use of the inner body is convenient because the clothing can be reduced in weight by removing the inner body when heating is not required.
[0013]
When heating is performed in front clothing, the body is often kept together because the cold air enters inside the clothing when the body is opened. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a switch that automatically turns on the power to the heater when the body is put together.
[0014]
That is, the clothing is formed in a front form, the contact means for aligning the body is provided with a switch contact, and when the body is aligned by the aligning means, the switch contact is connected so that the heater generates heat from the portable power source. It is preferable that the energization circuit is closed. For example, a belt and a belt fastener, a button fastener or the like can be used as the aligning means.
[0015]
The heating heater may be provided on the entire clothing, but the heating effect for the human body is on the back, particularly the upper back, the chest, particularly the region from the flank to the chest. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the heater in the upper part of the clothing and in the region from the left and right flank to the chest. Further, the heating heater may be a linear heater or a planar heater.
[0016]
When the garment is composed of a garment body and an inner body that can be detachably attached to the garment body, the inner body is formed in a front form, and the inner body is provided with an alignment means for aligning the body, and the alignment means is provided with a switch. It is preferable that each contact is provided and the switch contact is connected when the aligning means are combined, and the energization circuit from the portable power source to the heat generating heater is closed. Also in this case, for example, a belt and a belt fastener, a button fastener or the like can be used as the aligning means.
[0017]
Although the heat generating heater may be provided on the entire inner body, the heating effect on the human body is on the back, particularly the upper back, the chest, particularly the region from the flank to the chest. In view of this, the heater is preferably provided on the upper back of the inner body and on the left and right flank to the chest.
[0018]
When a combination of a belt and a belt fastening is used, the structure of the belt fastening is not particularly limited, and a known structure such as a button fastening or a buckle fastening can be adopted.
[0019]
In addition, it is desirable that the switch is ON while the body is aligned by the alignment means. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a magnet piece in the aligning means so that the contact points of the switch are held in a connected state by magnetizing the magnet pieces to each other.
[0020]
The controller may have any configuration as long as it can control energization to the heater, may be configured by a hardware circuit, may be built in a microcomputer, and may be controlled by a program.
[0021]
The controller may be an open loop control method or a feedback control method.
[0022]
The portable power source refers to a portable power source such as a battery or a dry battery, but is described as a portable power source to distinguish it from a commercial power source.
[0023]
