Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pregnant woman experience simulator used to experience that a wearer wears and becomes a pregnant woman.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, several pregnant woman experience simulators have been provided (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-146451, US Pat. No. 4,531,919). They are vest-like, vest-shaped with both a part that hangs on the shoulder and a part that wraps around the abdomen, and an abdomen-corresponding part is provided with an accommodating part, and by accommodating the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid member in this accommodating part, The simulated fetal amniotic fluid part was formed in the simulator.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above simulator, there is a problem that the formation of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part is somewhat troublesome because the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid member must be packed in the storage part in order to form the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part.
[0004]
In particular, the volume of the simulated fetal amniotic fluid formed in the simulator varies depending on the physique of the person trying to experience a pregnant woman, the number of months of pregnancy of the pregnant woman trying to experience, and the volume of the simulated fetal amniotic fluid. There are cases such as trying to see how the operating range of a pregnant woman changes by making it large or small, and in order to make it an experience simulator that can respond to it, pseudo fetuses of different sizes A large number of amniotic fluid members must be prepared in advance, so that there is a problem that the simulator becomes expensive as a whole and the replacement work of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid member is also very troublesome.
[0005]
Furthermore, since the conventional pregnant woman experience simulator has a part that hangs around the shoulder in addition to the part that wraps around the waist of the abdomen, it tries to experience if the explanation of how to wear the simulator is insufficient for the experience person Many people wear this simulator as if they were hung on their shoulders, so that the weight during pregnancy was supported by their shoulders, and they had a different experience than the actual pregnant woman who supported the weight on their abdomen. There is a problem that it is easy to end. The simulator is generally worn by those who have no pregnancy experience, and there is a risk of causing the experience person to improperly perceive due to incorrect usage.
[0006]
In addition, the pregnant woman experience simulator is used for various purposes. For example, in the daily life in a house, you can experience how much the reduction of the body motion range during pregnancy is. In the case of the main purpose, specifically in the case of the purpose of, for example, the experience of reducing the forward bending area or the experience of difficulty in seeing at the foot, the conventional simulator simulates the inside. The fetal amniotic fluid member must be accommodated, it is structurally prone to become heavy, and it consumes a lot of energy physically to experience a reduction in the operating range of pregnant women There is also a problem of becoming.
[0007]
In view of the conventional problems as described above, the present invention can easily form a pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part, and can easily form a pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part having different volumes easily and advantageously in terms of cost. In cases where one of the objectives is to experience how the body is subjected to weight gain during pregnancy, even if the explanation of how to use is insufficient, A maternity experience simulator with a structure that allows the wearer to accurately and accurately experience the amount of load applied, and that can realize a very light experience simulator when the main objective is to reduce the operating range of the pregnant woman It is an issue to provide.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The above challenge is a pregnant experience simulator where the wearer will experience becoming a pregnant woman,
The part corresponding to the abdomen of the wearer is provided with a pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part consisting of an air bag part, and an air inlet / outlet opening is provided in the air bag part. It is solved by a pregnant woman experience simulator characterized by the formation of fetal amniotic fluid.
[0009]
In this simulator, the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part is formed simply by putting air into the air bag part provided therein, so that the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part can be easily formed. Moreover, since the interior of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid is air, a very lightweight experience simulator can be realized when the simulator is intended mainly for the experience of reducing the operating range of pregnant women. In addition, when not in use, the air can be removed and stored compactly, and there is no need to prepare a separate storage space for the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid member as in the prior art.
[0010]
In the above simulator, if the air bag part has elasticity and the volume of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part can be changed by taking in and out air through the air inlet and outlet, experience the pregnant woman Try to see how the pregnant woman's physique, the number of months of pregnancy of the pregnant woman to experience, and how the operating range of the pregnant woman changes by increasing or decreasing the volume of the pseudofetal amniotic fluid In such cases, it is easy to create pseudo fetal amniotic fluid parts of various volumes that can respond to them by simply adjusting the amount of air in the air bag part without taking in and out the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid members as in the past. can do. Moreover, since the volume of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part is adjusted with air, it is not necessary to prepare a large number of types of pseudo fetal amniotic fluid members having different sizes, and the total cost of the simulator can be kept low. In addition, the volume of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid can be adjusted steplessly and fine adjustment is possible.
[0011]
If the simulator has no shoulders and is wrapped around the wearer's abdominal trunk, and the simulator is only held around the wearer's abdominal trunk, In the case where one of the purposes is to experience the state of load, even if the explanation of how to use the simulator is insufficient or not explained, There is no choice but to wrap and attach around the abdomen, so the weight of the simulator can be felt without error in the abdomen without error, and the experience of the load on the body can be experienced accurately and without error be able to.
[0012]
In this case, when the weight layer portion is provided on the back side of the air bag portion, the position of the center of gravity of the simulator can be brought closer to the trunk side, and the wearer can load the load by the simulator. You can feel the condition with a feeling closer to that of an actual pregnant woman.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a pregnant woman experience simulator, which is configured in a belly-wrap shape and extends outward from both sides of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 and the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2. The wound fetus amniotic fluid part 2 is applied to the abdomen of the wearer 4, the winding parts 3, 3 are turned to the back side of the wearer 4, and the wound part 3 is provided. , 3 are connected to each other so as to be held around the waist of the abdomen of the wearer 4. For example, the surface fasteners 5 and 5 are provided at the front ends of the winding parts 3 and 3, and the winding parts 3 and 3 are overlapped to bond the surface fasteners 5 and 5 together. It goes without saying that various other means may be used as means for coupling. Thus, this simulator 1 is not provided with a shoulder part as a part for attaching this to the wearer 4, and the wearer can only attach the simulator 1 by winding it around the waist of the abdomen. It has a structure that does not have.
[0015]
In the simulator 1, the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 is provided with an air bag part 6, and the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 is formed by inflating the air bag part 6 by introducing air. It has become. Reference numeral 7 denotes an air take-in / out unit, through which air can be taken in / out from the air bag unit 6. The bag wall of the air bag portion 6 is made of a rubber-like material having elasticity, and the volume of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid portion 2 is changed in size by adjusting the amount of air to be contained therein and expanding and contracting the bag wall. It can be made to.
[0016]
And in this simulator 1, the sheet | seat weight 8 which has a deformation | transformation followability is provided in the back surface part of the air bag part 6, ie, the area | region part which follows a wearer's 4 abdomen, and a weight layer part is formed. Has been. The weight 8 is preferably 2 to 3 kg, for example.
[0017]
In the simulator 1 shown in the drawings, the air bag portion 6 and the winding portions 3 and 3 are shown to be integrally formed of a rubber-like material, but the structure is not limited to this, In addition, for example, it goes without saying that, for example, a structure in which an air bag separate from the belt body is attached to the inner side of the abdomen of the belly-wrapped belt body may be used.
[0018]
In the pregnant woman experience simulator 1, the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 can be formed simply by putting air into the air bag part 6 provided therein, and therefore the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 can be easily formed. Air may be introduced by blowing in, may be introduced using a pump, or may be injected by injecting compressed gas.
[0019]
Moreover, since the air bag portion 6 has elasticity, for example, how the operation range of the pregnant woman depends on the physique of the wearer 4, the number of months of pregnancy of the pregnant woman to be experienced, and the volume of the simulated fetal amniotic fluid portion 2. In the case of trying to see if it changes, the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 of various volumes corresponding to the air is stored in the air bag part 6 as shown in FIGS. 2 (a), (b) and (c). It can be easily formed simply by adjusting the amount. In addition, since the volume of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 can be adjusted steplessly, fine adjustment is possible.
[0020]
The simulator 1 is attached to the body by placing the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 against the abdomen and turning the winding parts 3 and 3 to the back side so that the winding parts 3 and 3 overlap each other. , 5 and so on. In addition, air may be injected before wearing, may be performed after wearing, or may be injected to some extent before wearing, and the volume is adjusted by taking in and out air after wearing. You may do it.
[0021]
Since this simulator 1 does not have a shoulder portion and can only be wrapped around the abdomen and attached to the abdomen, even if the explanation of how to use the simulator 1 is insufficient, Even if there is no explanation, the wearer 4 is attached to hold the simulator 1 around the abdominal trunk, and the weight of the simulator 1 can be surely felt by the abdomen without an error instead of the shoulder. , You can experience exactly how accurately the load on the body due to pregnancy is. And in combination with the structure which hold | maintains the simulator 1 around the wearer's 4 abdomen waist, since the sheet-like weight layer part 8 is provided in the back side of the air bag part 6, the gravity center position of the simulator 1 is the body side. The wearer 4 can feel the load applied by the simulator 1 with a sense closer to that of an actual pregnant woman.
[0022]
In FIG. 3A, the experience person 4 wears the breastplate 9 in addition to the simulator 1 described above. The breastplate 9 may be for imitating the breast of a pregnant woman, or may simply be a breast cover. In this way, by separating the simulator 1 from the breastplate 9 and removing the shoulder portion from the simulator 1, the wearer 4 can have an unpredictable pregnant experience. FIG. 3B further shows a garment 10 such as a flare skirt, an apron, and a coat. It is possible to experience how close the field of view of the feet is narrowed by the clothes 10 during pregnancy in a form that is closer to reality. As described above, the fetal amniotic fluid simulator 1 and the breastplate 9 may be combined into a simulator, and the clothes 10 may be included as one set. Further, the breastplate 9 may be omitted, and the fetal amniotic fluid simulator 1 and the clothes 10 may be set as a set.
[0023]
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the weight 1 is provided in the simulator 1 is shown. However, in the case where the simulator is mainly intended to experience a reduction in the operating range of a pregnant woman, that is, how to apply a load due to pregnancy. If not, the weight 8 may be omitted. In that case, since the inside of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 is air, a very lightweight experience simulator can be realized, and the experience of reducing the operating range of a pregnant woman can be easily performed. Further, in the above embodiment, the bag wall of the air bag is configured to be stretchable so that the volume of the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part 2 can be changed in size. May be formed. Moreover, in this invention, it is good also as a structure provided with the pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part formed with an air bag in the pregnant woman experience simulator which has a shoulder part.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is as described above, a pseudo fetal amniotic fluid part can be easily formed. In addition, pseudo fetal amniotic fluid portions having different volumes can be formed easily and cost-effectively. Also, in cases where one of the purposes is to experience the load on the body due to weight gain during pregnancy, even if the explanation of how to use is insufficient, the load on the body The wearer can experience the condition accurately and without error. In addition, a very light experience simulator can be realized when the primary purpose is to reduce the operating range of pregnant women.
