Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention relates to a tsunami experience kit that is devised so that it can be easily carried and worn in order to experience the force of the tsunami pushing away the body.

  The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake caused a large tsunami that caused a lot of damage. Even the Tokai and Nankai Trough earthquakes, which are expected to occur in the future, are expected to be damaged by a large tsunami. To minimize the damage, not only the local government but also the whole society understands the horror of the tsunami and is aware of disaster prevention. Need to be increased. In conventional disaster prevention drills, assuming tsunami occurrence, walking or running to an evacuation site, or evacuating using transportation means, but by experiencing the power of waves caused by actual tsunami, holding luggage and children It is desirable to understand how difficult it is to evacuate in the state and how elderly people and children can evacuate on their own.

  Conventional tsunami experience devices, for example, discharge large quantities of water in large buildings and experimental devices such as the Tsunami Experiment Facility of the Port and Airport Technology Research Institute in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and measure the strength of waves. Most of them did.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  Conventional tsunami experience devices are large and expensive to install, so there are only a few research facilities in Japan, and individuals cannot experience the power of tsunami. In addition, since it cannot be carried, many people could not easily experience it through disaster drills. An object of the present invention is to provide a tsunami experience kit that can be easily carried anywhere and anyone can easily experience a tsunami.

Means for solving the problem

  The present invention is a kit that is attached to a human body in order to experience the force of a tsunami swirling the human body, the attachment means for attaching the kit to a foot, the weight means connected to the attachment means, and the attachment means or A tsunami experience kit comprising: an elastic body having one end connected to the weight means; and a pulling handle for pulling the other end of the elastic body.

  A hook-and-loop fastener can be used as the attachment means. Further, as the weight means, a weight and a weight storage bag for storing the weight can be used.

  In the present invention, by attaching the tsunami experience kit to the foot, particularly the ankle, it is possible to experience a state in which the foot is difficult to move because hydrostatic pressure is applied to the foot underwater according to the weight of the weight. Moreover, by pulling the elastic body, it is possible to experience the dynamic water pressure that is the water pressure when the tsunami flows. The height and water depth of the tsunami experienced can be easily changed by adjusting the weight of the weight and the pulling force of the elastic body. In other words, according to the present invention, it is not troublesome to simulate the tsunami force caused by the difference in water depth, and it is easy to carry. In the present invention, by using an elastic body, not a string, as a means for pulling a foot for a tsunami hydrodynamic pressure experience, adjusting the pulling force (hydrodynamic pressure) by looking at the stretch of the elastic body Is easily possible.

The weight storage bag in the tsunami experience kit of the present invention may be, for example, a rectangular belt-shaped bag or a shape that can contain a bar-shaped weight.
Further, in order to make the foot, particularly the entire ankle heavy, a plurality of weight storage bags each containing a weight may be attached around the ankle. The bag is preferably provided with opening / closing means such as a hook-and-loop fastener. When the opening / closing means is provided, the bag is closed after the weight is accommodated, thereby preventing the weight from coming out of the bag during the simulated experience.

  In the tsunami experience kit of the present invention, for example, lead may be used as the weight to be placed in the weight storage bag (or directly attached to the foot). Regarding weight, for example, when experiencing a tsunami with a depth of 20 cm, a 1 kg weight is added. Also, the difference in water depth can be changed by changing the weight of the weight. When experiencing a shallow tsunami, lighten the weight, and when experiencing a deep water depth, increase the weight.

Effect of the invention

  The tsunami experience kit according to the present invention is a simple device that can be easily attached to and detached from the user and can be easily carried around. it can. Thereby, people's awareness of disaster prevention can be raised. By placing the tsunami experience kit of the present invention in schools and community halls and using it for evacuation drills, children and the elderly can easily experience the power of tsunami. In addition, it is small, portable, and easy to attach and detach, so you can experience it at work and at home.

  In addition, by installing the tsunami experience kit and the tsunami experience simulator of the present invention in a disaster prevention center or the like of a local government, many people can experience it at a disaster prevention drill or a tsunami experience booth.

These are figures which show the state which mounted | wore the experience person's ankle with the tsunami experience kit which concerns on embodiment of this invention. These are figures which show the tsunami experience kit which concerns on embodiment of this invention. These are figures which show the attachment part of a weight storage bag and a spring of [FIG. 2]. These are figures which show other embodiment of a tsunami experience kit.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a usage state of the tsunami experience kit of the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the tsunami experience kit 1 of this embodiment includes a hook-and-loop fastener 3, a weight storage bag 2, an elastic body 4 (springs 4-1 and 4-2), and a pulling handle 5. It is connected to.

  This kit 1 has a weight storage bag 2 for storing a weight for experiencing the hydrostatic pressure applied to the foot in water. A hook-and-loop fastener 2a is attached to the opening for taking in and out the weight storage bag 2 so that the weight can be put into and out of the weight storage bag 2. For example, when experiencing a tsunami of 20 cm, a weight of 1 kg is put in the weight storage bag 2. When the water depth becomes deeper, adjust it to be heavier.

  The kit 1 has a hook-and-loop fastener 3 for attaching the weight storage bag 2 to a foot, particularly an ankle. The hook-and-loop fastener 3 fits the depth of the tsunami to be experienced, and the weight storage bag 2 is attached from the heel of the user's foot to the position of the foot that is almost the same height as the water depth. Detachment is easy and preferable. The width of the hook-and-loop fastener 3 is preferably 20 cm when experiencing a tsunami of 20 cm, for example. Further, the strength when the weight storage bag 2 is fixed to the foot with the hook-and-loop fastener 3 is fixed so that the kit 1 does not come off the foot when the elastic body 4 is pulled.

As for the elastic body 4 of the kit 1, one end is connected to the weight storage bag 2 and the other end is connected to the pulling handle 5. For example, the elastic body 4 includes two springs 4-1 and 4-2. Are used to connect one end of each of the springs 4-1 and 4-2 to the weight storage bag 2 using the ring 4-3 and the stopper 4-4 (see FIG. 3). The other end of 4-2 is connected to the pulling handle 5. The strength of the elastic body 4 is assumed to be pulled at a strength of 7 kg per foot when experiencing the force that a tsunami with a water depth of 20 cm pulls.
In addition, by verifying and confirming in advance the relationship between the pulling force of the elastic body 4 and the stretch state of the elastic body 4, the force that actually pulls the leg of the user can be arbitrarily determined while watching the stretch state of the elastic body 4. Can be adjusted.
Moreover, by exchanging the elastic body 4 and increasing the tension, it is possible to experience the strength of the wave (dynamic water pressure) when the water depth of the tsunami increases. The length of the elastic body 4 may be about 50 cm, and may be a length that is easy for an experienced person wearing the kit 1 and an assistant pulling the pulling handle 5 to use.

  The pulling handle 5 of the kit 1 is connected by attaching a ring 4-3 and a stopper 4-4 to the other end of the elastic body 4 (springs 4-1 and 4-2) as shown in FIG. To do. The material of the pulling handle 5 is, for example, ABS resin or wood, and has a strength that does not cause damage when the user wears the kit 1 and pulls the pulling handle 5. The shape of the pulling handle 5 may be, for example, a rectangular shape with a hollow inside, a rod shape, a circular shape, or a polygonal shape as shown in FIG. 2, and may be a shape that can be grasped and fixed so as to be easily pulled.

  When experiencing the tsunami by wearing the kit 1 of the present embodiment, it is preferable to experience the tsunami while watching the tsunami and disaster images or listening to the sound.

  Kit 1 applies the tsunami force to your feet and ankles, and when you experience the power of the tsunami, you can see the image of the tsunami and storm and flood at the same time, or let the experience sound when you experience the tsunami. You can have a tsunami experience. In addition, you can experience tsunamis assuming evacuation on slopes, at night or in bad weather by tilting the simulator as a place to experience this kit 1, darkening the surroundings, or letting down wind and water. .

  Also, when carrying out the tsunami experience with kit 1, you can carry a more realistic tsunami by holding the baggage in your hand, carrying a bag with evacuation equipment, holding your child, or pulling your hand. You can experience the state of evacuation.

  In the embodiment described above, instead of the hook-and-loop fastener 3, the weight storage bag 2 may be fixed to the foot using a string. Moreover, the weight storage bag 2 is not necessarily required, and a hole may be formed in the weight, and the weight may be attached to the foot through a hook-and-loop fastener or a string. Further, shoes may be used instead of the hook-and-loop fastener 3 as attachment means for attaching the weights to the feet. In that case, the weights are attached to the shoes. Furthermore, the elastic body 4 is not limited to a spring, and rubber or the like may be used. Furthermore, instead of attaching the elastic body 4 to the weight storage bag 2, as shown in FIG. 4, the weight storage bag 2 and the elastic body 4 are separated from each other by using a hook-and-loop fastener 3 separately.
