  The present invention relates to air-conditioning garments.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, air conditioning clothing has been put to practical use that cools a body by evaporating perspiration from the body by flowing a large amount of outside air substantially in parallel with the surface of the body or underwear (for example, see Patent Document 1). .
In this air-conditioning garment, the air sent into the space between the garment body and the body or underwear by driving the fan is mainly discharged to the outside through the opening around the neck and the openings at both cuffs. I have.

Japanese Patent No. 6382314

However, in the case of the air-conditioning garment of Patent Literature 1, since the fan is provided on the hem side of the air-conditioning garment, air taken in from the outside easily hits the waist and abdomen of the body, and when the body is bent forward, the air around the neck and It is in a mode that it is hard to be discharged from the openings of both cuffs.
The present inventors have found that due to the structure of the human body, it is possible to cool the body by efficiently cooling a portion where the skin where the pulse can be taken is thin, for example, a portion near the skin surface such as a neck or a side where blood vessels are close. By paying attention, they came to develop air-conditioning clothes that can be worn more appropriately.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning garment that can efficiently cool the neck and underarms and can be worn appropriately.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides
A clothes body that covers at least the upper body of the user's body,
Blowing means for flowing air to the space between the clothes body and the body or underwear,
The clothes main body includes a body portion that covers the torso of the user, and a pair of sleeve portions that are sewn to an armhole to cover the arms of the user,
A discharge port for discharging air flowing through the space is provided at a portion of the sleeve covering the upper arm so as to be openable and closable.

In the case of the air-conditioning garment having such a configuration, the air taken into the clothes main body by the blowing means can easily hit the neck from the back of the user, so that the body can be cooled appropriately. Further, the air taken into the clothes main body by the air blowing means easily flows to the side and both cuffs, so that the body can be cooled appropriately.
As described above, any air-conditioning clothes that can cool the body appropriately can be suitably worn.

If this air-conditioning garment is worn with its sleeves rolled, if the air outlet provided in the portion covering the upper arm is switched to the open state, the air taken into the clothes body by the air blowing means will have a long sleeve shape. It is circulated so as to be discharged from the outlet of the section.
For example, when the long-sleeved sleeve portion of the air-conditioning garment is folded up from the cuff side and worn up around the elbow, the opening that discharges the air sent into the clothes main body by the blowing means from the arm side ( In this case, the cuffs may be closed, and the air circulation may be interrupted.
Therefore, if a long-sleeve sleeve is provided with an openable and closable outlet at the part where the upper arm is covered, as in this air-conditioning garment, even if the air-conditioning garment is rolled up and worn, air will be discharged from the outlet of the sleeve. Since it can be distributed so as to be discharged, the body can be cooled appropriately.
In addition, in the case of this air-conditioning garment, even if the posture in which the elbow is bent for a long time when worn in a long-sleeved state, the air is exhausted from the outlet of the sleeve that has been switched to the open state. It is possible to cool the body suitably.
As described above, if the air-conditioning garment has a long-sleeved sleeve portion provided with an openable and closable outlet at a portion covering the upper arm, even if the sleeve is rolled up and the elbow is bent for a long time, it is suitable. Can be worn.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, a neck and an underarm can be cooled efficiently, and the air-conditioning clothing which can be worn suitably is obtained.

It is the front view (a) and rear view (b) which show the air-conditioning garment of this embodiment. It is a front view showing the air-conditioning garment of this embodiment, and has shown the state where the air-conditioning garment was rolled up and worn.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of an air-conditioning garment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are provided with various technically preferable limits for carrying out the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

The air-conditioning garment 100 of the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, includes a clothing body 10 that covers at least the upper body of the user's body, and a space between the clothing body 10 and the body or underwear. It is provided with a blowing means 50 for circulating air through the space.
FIGS. 1A and 1B show a state in which the air-conditioning garment 100 is worn without rolling up the sleeves.

The clothing main body 10 is formed of a sheet-like material having small or no air permeability, and is formed in a shape to cover the upper body of the user.
Specifically, the clothes main body 10 includes a body 1 that covers the torso of the user, a pair of sleeves 2 that covers the arm of the user, and a hood 3 that covers the head of the user. I have.
The air-conditioning garment 100 of the present embodiment has a long-sleeved sleeve 2 (long-sleeve).
The sleeve 2 is sewn to an armhole of the body 1 (clothes body 10).

An elastic member such as rubber is attached to a skirt 11 of the clothes main body 10 (the body 1). As a result, the skirt 11 of the clothes body 10 is narrowed down and comes into close contact with the body.
The air-conditioning garment 100 is of a front-opening type, and the front body of the garment body 10 (the body 1) is opened and closed by a fastener. In addition, the aspect in which the fastener is hidden by the specific wing 12 is illustrated.

The pair of sleeves 2 are sewn on both upper sides of the body 1.
The cuff 2a of the sleeve portion 2 functions as an opening for discharging the air that has been sent into the clothes body 10 by the blowing means 50 and circulated.
In particular, at a portion where the long sleeve-shaped sleeve portion 2 covering the user's arm covers the upper arm (upper arm), an outlet 21 for discharging air flowing through the space in the clothes body 10 is provided so as to be openable and closable. I have.
The outlet 21 is provided at a position in the sleeve 2 facing the body 1.
In other words, the outlet 21 is provided on the side of the sleeve 2 under the air-conditioning garment 100.
The openable and closable discharge port 21 is formed of a fastener.
Here, the outlet 21 formed by a fastener is described as an example, but the outlet 21 formed by a member having an opening / closing function other than the fastener may be used.

The hood 3 is sewn around the neck of the body 1.
The opening 3a of the hood portion 3 functions as an opening for discharging the air which has been sent into the clothes body 10 by the blowing means 50 and circulated.
Although the hood portion 3 covers the user's head and is worn so that the face is exposed through the opening 3a, the hood portion 3 does not cover the user's head. If the hood 3 is lowered to the back of the head, the hood 3 can be worn as a standing collar.
When the user wears a helmet, the hood 3 may be worn so as to cover the helmet. In this case, air is sent between the helmet and the head, and air is exhausted from the front collar of the helmet.

The blowing means 50 forms an air flow passage between the clothes main body 10 and the body or underwear by taking in air from the outside, and forcibly generates an air flow in the air flow passage.
The two blowing means 50, 50 are attached to the upper part of the back body of the clothes main body 10 in pairs on the left and right. Specifically, the blowing means 50 is disposed on the back side of the body 1 and between the sewing positions of the pair of sleeves 2.
In other words, the air blowing means 50 is disposed at a position higher than the lowermost point of the armhole of the clothes main body 10, and is positioned above the armpit of the user when the air-conditioning garment 100 is worn. It is arranged in.
By arranging the air blowing means 50 at a position close to the base of the sleeve 2 in this manner, it is easy to send air to the neck and the sleeve 2 side.

In particular, by arranging the air blowing means 50 on the upper part of the back body of the clothes body 10 (the body part 1), the external air taken into the clothes body 10 by the air blowing means 50 is distributed to the neck and both cuffs. It's easier. Specifically, when the outside air is taken into the clothes main body 10 by the blowing means 50 arranged on the upper part of the back body of the clothes main body 10, the air is sent to the sleeve portion 2 side (the cuff side). At the same time, it is fed into the hood portion 3 (neck side) and the hem portion 11 side of the clothes main body 10 and spreads throughout the clothes main body 10.
On the other hand, as in the case of the air-conditioning garment of the related art (Patent Document 1), when the blowing means is disposed on the skirt 11 side, which is the lower part of the back body of the clothes body 10, the blowing means causes the clothes body. The outside air taken into the body 10 is sent from the lower part of the body part 1 to the upper part, and then sent to the sleeve part 2 side and the hood part 3 side. In the case where the posture, which becomes difficult to bend forward, continues for a long time, there is a possibility that sufficient air may not be easily supplied to the sleeve portion 2 and the hood portion 3 side.
In other words, the air-conditioning system according to the present embodiment is different from the air-conditioning clothing of the related art (Patent Document 1) in which the air blowing means is provided at the end of the air flow passage between the clothing body 10 and the body or underwear. If the air blowing means 50 is disposed at the center of the air flow passage as in the clothes 100, it is easy to send air to all corners of the air flow passage, particularly to the neck and both cuffs, and it is preferable. It becomes possible to cool the body.

As the blowing means 50, a fan device having a propeller is used.
A power supply (not shown) for supplying electric power to the blower 50 is housed in, for example, an inner pocket (not shown) of the clothes body 10.
The power supply means is, for example, a power supply device having a built-in battery, and the power supply means and the two blowing means 50, 50 are electrically connected by a power supply cable.

Also, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), in the center of the back side of the clothes main body 10 of the air-conditioning clothes 100, a part extending from the body part 1 to the hood part 3 is made so that the cloth of the clothes body 10 has slack. Is formed.
The slack portion 13 is three-dimensionally formed between a pair of vertical gore portions 13a provided on the clothing body 10 so as to extend in the vertical direction (up and down direction).
When the outside air is taken into the clothes body 10 by the blowing means 50, the slack portion 13 swells to the outside of the clothes body 10 due to the taken air, and an air flow path from the body 1 to the hood 3. become.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the side gore portions 14 extend vertically (up and down) on both sides on the back side of the clothes main body 10 (the body portion 1) of the air-conditioning garment 100. Is provided.
The side gore portion 14 is provided on the back side of the body portion 1 and between the sewing position of the sleeve portion 2 and the mounting position of the blower means 50, so that the size of the portion in the thickness direction can be adjusted. ing.
When the outside air is taken into the clothes main body 10 by the blowing means 50, the taken air bulges out around the attachment location of the blowing means 50, so that the blowing means 50 is separated from the body of the user. As a result, the feeling of pressure caused by the blowing means 50 is reduced, and the feeling of wearing the air-conditioning garment 100 is improved.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the air-conditioning garment 100 extends in the lateral direction (left-right direction) at a substantially central position in the vertical direction on the back side of the clothes main body 10 (body portion 1). A lateral gore portion 15 is provided. Specifically, the lateral gore portion 15 is provided below the sewing position of the pair of sleeve portions 2 on the back side of the body portion 1.
The lateral gore portion 15 is a gore portion that allows the dimension of the body portion 1 in the thickness direction to be adjustable.
When the outside air is taken into the clothes main body 10 by the blowing means 50, the taken-in air causes the lateral gore portion 15 to spread in the thickness direction, so that the blowing means 50 is easily separated from the body of the user, Since the feeling of pressure caused by the blowing means 50 is reduced, the feeling of wearing the air-conditioning garment 100 is improved. Further, the air taken into the clothes main body 10 by the blowing means 50 easily flows to the neck and the sleeve 2.

  As described above, when the air-conditioning garment 100 of the present embodiment is worn without rolling up the sleeves, the air taken into the clothes main body 10 by the blowing means 50 mainly emits the cuffs 2 a of the sleeve 2 and the opening of the hood 3. Since the fluid is circulated so as to be discharged from 3a, the body can be cooled appropriately.

In particular, since the air blowing means 50 of the air-conditioning garment 100 is disposed on the back side of the body 1 and between the sewing locations of the pair of sleeves 2, the air blowing means 50 The air taken into the main body 10 can easily hit the neck from the back of the user, and the body can be cooled appropriately. Further, the air taken into the clothes main body 10 by the air blowing means 50 can easily flow to the side of the user and to both cuffs, so that the body can be cooled appropriately.
In addition, the air taken into the clothes main body 10 by the blowing means 50 makes it difficult for the user's waist and abdomen to directly hit the waist and the abdomen, so that the waist and the abdomen are not excessively cooled. It is less likely to worsen or cause abdominal pain due to overcooling of the abdomen.

Further, in the construction industry, since the working tools are stored in the storage part around the waist, the air blowing means 50 is arranged at the upper part of the body, so that the air blowing means 50 does not become an obstacle when taking it out. Can work.
In addition, if the blowing means 50 is arranged on the upper part of the body, when the user sits on a chair with a backrest, the blowing means 50 is less likely to be caught between the backrest and the back, and can be seated appropriately.

  As described above, the air-conditioning garment 100 that can cool the body appropriately can be suitably worn.

  Next, a case where the air-conditioning garment 100 of the present embodiment is worn with rolled up sleeves will be described.

For example, the long-sleeved sleeve 2 of the air-conditioning garment 100 may be worn depending on the work environment and work contents.
As shown in FIG. 2, when the sleeve 2 is folded up from the side of the cuff 2 a and rolled up to the vicinity of the elbow and worn, air blown into the clothes body 10 by the blowing means 50 and circulated from the arm side. The opening for discharging is blocked.
Therefore, when the air-conditioning garment 100 is worn with the sleeves rolled up, as shown in FIG. 2, the zipper provided on the side of the sleeve 2 under the air-conditioning garment 100 is lowered, and the air-conditioning garment 100 is constituted by the fastener. The open discharge port 21 is opened.
By doing so, air can be discharged from the outlet 21 instead of the opening in which the cuff 2a of the sleeve 2 is folded and closed, so that the body 1 Therefore, the air taken into the clothes main body 10 by the blowing means 50 is sent to the sleeve 2 side.

In this way, when the air-conditioning garment 100 of the present embodiment is worn with the sleeves rolled up, if the outlet 21 of the sleeve portion 2 is switched to the open state, the air-conditioning garment 100 is taken into the clothes main body 10 by the blowing means 50. The air mainly flows so as to be discharged from the outlet 21 of the sleeve portion 2 and the opening 3a of the hood portion 3 and can appropriately cool the body. Can be suitably worn.
In particular, since the outlet 21 of the sleeve portion 2 is provided under the side of the air-conditioning garment 100, it is easy to discharge the humid air by circulating the air to a humid part of the body, so that the blood vessels The body can be suitably cooled by efficiently cooling the armpits close to the skin surface.
