<Protective equipment attached (knee support with protective equipment)>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 1 for explaining the protective equipment. 3 and 4 are schematic diagrams for explaining the protective equipment. The illustrated protective equipment 10 is intended for humans and animals, and includes a mounting part 2 to be mounted on a target part to be protected, and a protective equipment 3 to be mounted to the mounting part 2. The protective equipment 3 may be removably attached to the mounting part. Note that in the following, the side closer to the target region will be referred to as the back side, and the opposite side will be referred to as the front side.

The protective equipment 10 is, for example, a protective knee supporter 11 that is worn on the knee to protect the knee. Although not shown, the protective equipment-equipped product 10 may include a net or cloth-based cover that partially or completely covers one or both of the protective equipment and the wearing part (in each embodiment described below). same).

The attachment part 2 is a supporter or a bandage made of cloth, knitted fabric, rubber material, or the like. The mounting part 2 is cylindrical and at least partially has elasticity, and is mounted on the knee by utilizing its elasticity. Alternatively, it is in the form of a sheet with a band or hook-and-loop fastener, and is attached to the knee using these.

The protector 3 includes a base 31 and a wire 4 whose both ends are fixed to the base 31. As an example, the base portion 31 is attached to the approximate center between the upper and lower ends of the mounting portion 2 as shown in the figure, but the base portion 31 is not particularly limited, and may be attached to an appropriate position depending on the size of the protective equipment 3, the target area, etc. The wire 4 is attached to the attachment part 2 via the base 31. An example of how to fasten the wire to the base (attachment method) will be described later. As shown in the example below, the wire may be removably attached to the base. Furthermore, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 42, the wire 4 may be rotatably attached to the attachment part via the base or directly. Note that known techniques may be used as appropriate.

The wire 4 has elasticity and is preferably made of a metal wire with a circular cross section, such as stainless steel, piano wire, brass wire, precious metal wire, precious metal plated wire, or the like. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a wire rod having a polygonal cross section such as a rectangular cross section or a hexagonal cross section may be used. The lower limit of the thickness of the wire (the facing width in the case of a polygon) is, for example, 0.2 mm, preferably 0.3 mm, and more preferably 0.5 mm. The upper limit is 8.0 mm, preferably 4.0 mm, and more preferably 3.2 mm.

The wire 4 may have a coating layer by coating the surface of the wire with nylon, silicon, Teflon, etc., or by plating or the like. The wire 4 may further be formed of a material such as a plastic resin such as nylon (including those containing carbon fiber, Kevlar (registered trademark), etc.). Alternatively, it may be thick at both ends and gradually become thinner toward the center. Note that even if the term "wire" or "wire" is referred to in the following description, it does not mean that it is limited to a wire, but may be any known suitable elastic wire.

When a plurality of wire rods 4 are included, the wire rods may have the same thickness, or may have different thicknesses in part or in whole. Further, the elastic force of the wire rods 4 may be the same for the wire rods, or may be different for some or all of the wire rods.

The wire 4 has a loop shape. As an example, the wire 4 has an open loop shape, for example, a substantially U-shape or C-shape. The loop shape may be formed by bending a single wire, for example, starting from one end, folding back at approximately the center, and returning to the position where the other end is lined up with the other end, or it may be formed using a material such as resin. May be shaped. The wire rod 4 has a folded portion (tip 401) approximately in the center, a portion (base end 403) that is part of both ends and extends from the base 31, and a portion (limb 402) that extends between the two. including.

In this way, by using an elastic wire and forming it into a loop, the impact force from the outside is changed into elastic energy to reduce the impact, and although the wire may bend, it is safe because it will not break. Furthermore, since the part that receives the impact is loop-shaped, it is less likely to get caught and will not get stuck, making it safer.

As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the wire rod 4 has a proximal end 403 extending substantially perpendicularly from the base portion 31 and then bending downward toward the back side at a predetermined angle to form a first bent portion 404. , transition to limb 402. The angle of the first bent portion 404 is 90 degrees or more, with an upper limit of, for example, 160 degrees, more preferably 130 degrees, and a lower limit of 95 degrees, more preferably 105 degrees. As a result, the tip 401 and the limb 402 of the wire 4 form an angle of 90 degrees or less with the attachment part 2, and cover the attachment part 2 or the target region with a gap. Since the wire 4 has the first bent portion 404, the tip and limb portions are biased, and when pushed in the direction of the attachment portion 2, a restoring force is generated to return to the original state.

The protective equipment 3 has a plurality of wire rods 4 in this embodiment, and more specifically includes a wire rod group 40 formed by arranging a plurality of wire rods 4 having loops of different sizes. The wire rod group 40 is composed of three wire rods, for example, and the largest wire rod (first wire rod) 41, the second large wire rod (second wire rod) 42, and the smallest wire rod (third wire rod) 43 are convex in the front direction. Arranged in a concave shape. That is, the wire group 40 is arranged such that the second large wire 42 is located within the loop of the largest wire 41 and the smallest wire 43 is located within the loop of the second wire 42 when the loop surface is viewed from above. , when viewed from the side, the largest wire 41 is on the back side closest to the attachment part 2, the second large wire 42 overlaps with a gap on the front side, and the smallest wire 43 overlaps with a gap on the front side. It is. When viewed from the side, the wire rod group 40 can also be said to have a stepped shape. Such a wire rod group 40 may be configured by varying the bending angles of the first bent portions 404, or may be configured by varying the fixing positions of the base ends 403.

The wire group 40 may be arranged in a planar shape, for example. That is, the wire group 40 is arranged such that the second large wire 42 is located within the loop of the largest wire 41 and the smallest wire 43 is located within the loop of the second wire 42 when the loop surface is viewed from above. , when viewed from the side, the three wires have a shape in which the parts other than the base ends are at the same position.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the wire rod group 40 is arranged in the shape of a convex depression in the front direction, when a lump-like object O hits the wire rod group, the smallest wire rod 43 located on the front side receives the load first. bend. Next, the second large wire rod 42 on the back side receives a load and bends. Next, the largest wire rod 41 on the back side receives a load. As shown in the diagrams a, b, c, d, and e, the number of wires receiving the load increases or changes in sequence. At this time, the tip 401 serves as a support portion that holds the object O and supports the load.

In FIG. 4, an example of the flow from when the object O hits the wire rod group to when it leaves the wire rod group will be explained.

(1) When the object O is approaching the wire group but has not hit the wire group yet, the smallest wire 43 is on the front side that is closest to the object O, and the largest wire 41 is on the back side that is farthest from the object O. , there is a second large wire rod 42 between them, and there is a gap between them that is larger than the wire diameter (thickness) of the wire rods. Preferably, each wire rod has a substantially arcuate shape that is slightly convex on the front side when viewed from the side.

(2) When the object O approaches the wire rod group and begins to hit the wire rod group, the object O first hits the limb of the smallest wire rod 43. Then, the smallest wire rod 43 bends to the back side and approaches the adjacent second large wire rod 42.

(3) When the entire load of the object O is applied to the wire group, the smallest wire 43 is further bent toward the back side, and the smallest wire 43 enters the inside of the loop of the second large wire 42 . Then, the second large wire rod 42 also comes into contact with the object O and receives a load, and the second large wire rod 42 bends to the back side and approaches the adjacent largest wire rod 41.

(4) The smallest wire rod 43 and the second large wire rod 42 are further bent to the back side and enter the inside of the loop of the largest wire rod 41. Then, the largest wire 41 also comes into contact with the object O and receives a load.

On the other hand, object O slides forward along the limb while receiving the reaction force of the wire. Then, the tip of the smallest wire 43 supports the object O.

(5) When the object O passes over the tip of the smallest wire 43, the tip of the second large wire 42 supports the object O, and the smallest wire 43 is released from the load and returns to its original state.

(6) When the object O passes over the tip of the second large wire 42, the tip of the largest wire 41 supports the object O, and the second large wire 42 is released from the load.

(7) When the object O passes over the tip of the largest wire 41, the largest wire 41 is released from the load and the object O separates from the wire group.

In this way, in the protective equipment attachment 10, the wire group comes into contact with the object O and supports the load of the object O while being bent, so that the target region can be protected from impact and more appropriately protected.

<Equipment with protective equipment (elbow supporter with protective equipment)>
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated protective equipment 10 is, for example, an elbow supporter 12 with a protective equipment that is worn on the elbow to protect the elbow. In addition, in the following description, the same reference numerals will be given to the same configurations as those described above, and the description will be omitted as appropriate (the same applies to each embodiment below).

The elbow supporter with protector 12 includes a mounting section 2a that is attached to a target region, and a protector 3a that is attached to the mounting section 2a. The attachment portion 2a is similar to the attachment portion of the knee supporter described above. The base 31a of the protector 3a is attached near the lower end of the mounting portion 2, but may be attached approximately at the center between the upper and lower ends, as in the above example.

Each wire rod (41a, 42a, 43a) in the wire rod group 40a has a base end 403 extending substantially perpendicularly from the base portion 31a, and then is bent upward toward the back side at a predetermined angle to form a first bent portion 404, Moving on to limb 402. The angle of the first bent portion 404 is 90 degrees or more, with an upper limit of, for example, 160 degrees, more preferably 130 degrees, and a lower limit of 95 degrees, more preferably 110 degrees. Thereby, the tip 401 and the limb 402 of the wire 4 form an angle of 90 degrees or less with the attachment part 2a, and cover the attachment part 2a or the target region with a gap left. Since the wire 4 has the first bent portion 404, the tip and limb portions are biased, and when pushed in the direction of the mounting portion 2a, a restoring force is generated to return to the original state. The wire rod group 40a is arranged in the shape of a convex depression in the front direction, and has the same function as the wire rod group described above.

<Protective equipment attached (shoulder support with protective equipment)>
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated protective equipment 10 is, for example, a protective shoulder supporter 13 that is worn on the shoulder to protect the shoulder. The shoulder supporter with protector 13 includes a mounting part 2b that is attached to a target region, and a protector 3b that is attached to the mounting part 2b.

The mounting portion 2b is a supporter or a bandage made of cloth, knitted fabric, rubber material, or the like. The mounting portion 2b includes a main body 21b that covers the neck and shoulders, and two bands 22b. The band 22b has one end detachably connected to the vicinity of the front lower end of the main body 21b, and the other end detachably connected to the vicinity of the rear lower end, so that the main body 21b fits the shoulder and does not shift. A button, hook-and-loop fastener, buckle, or the like is used to connect the band 22b to the main body 21b.

The protective equipment 3b is attached to the shoulder portion of the mounting portion 2b. The shoulder supporter 13 may include one protector 3b, but preferably includes two protectors 3b, each attached to both shoulder portions, as shown.

As an example, the protective equipment 3b includes a wire rod group 40b including a wire rod 41b, a wire rod 42b, and a wire rod 43b having loops of different sizes. The base end of each wire extends along the base surface, and the limbs are bent diagonally downward at approximately the center to form a second bent portion 405, forming a substantially U-shape. The upper limit of the angle of the second bent portion 405 is, for example, 160 degrees, more preferably 130 degrees, and the lower limit is 95 degrees, more preferably 105 degrees. As a result, the wire rod 4 comes to cover the mounting portion 2b or the shoulder with a gap left along the shape of the shoulder, which is the target region. Since the wire 4 has the second bent portion 405, the tip and the front side of the limb are biased, and when pushed in the direction of the attachment portion 2b, a restoring force is generated that causes the wire 4 to return to its original state. Further, the wire rod group 40b is arranged in the shape of a convex concave surface in the same manner as the wire rod group described above, and has the same function.

In the supporter 13 with a protector, the wire group contacts the object O and supports the load of the object O while being bent, as in the case of the above-mentioned protective attachment, so that the target region is protected from impact and more appropriately protected.

<Example of usage status of equipment with protective equipment>
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a usage state of the protective equipment attachment. As shown in the figure, the knee supporter 11 with a protector is attached so that the lower end of the attachment part 2 is positioned approximately at the center of the knee, and the protector 3 covers and protects the knee with a gap left in between. Since the protective knee supporter 11 can be worn upward as shown in the figure or downward (not shown), it does not inhibit the movement of the knee joint. It goes without saying that the knee supporter with protector 11 can be worn upside down from what is shown in the figure, or can be worn with the center of the attachment part located at the center of the knee like a normal supporter.

As shown in the figure, the elbow supporter with protector 12 is worn so that the upper end of the attachment part is located approximately at the center of the elbow, and the protector 3a covers and protects the elbow with a gap left in between. Note that the elbow supporter 12 with protector may be installed upside down from what is shown in the drawings so that the wire extends diagonally downward. The protective elbow supporter 12 can be worn downward as shown in the figure or upward (not shown), so it does not inhibit the movement of the elbow joint. It goes without saying that the protective elbow supporter 12 can be worn upside down from what is shown in the drawings, or can be worn so that the center of the attachment part is located at the center of the elbow like a normal supporter.

For example, in the knee supporter 11 with a protector or the elbow supporter 12 with a protector, two protectors 3 may be attached to the mounting part 2 so as to face each other vertically. Further, as an example, a hole may be provided in the mounting portion 2, and the protective device 3 may be attached so as to cover the hole portion from the front side.

As shown in the figure, the shoulder supporter with protector 13 is worn so as to cover the neck and both shoulders, and both protectors 3b cover and protect both shoulders with a gap between them. Since the protective equipment 3b covers the shape of the shoulder and has a gap between it and the shoulder, the movement of the shoulder is not inhibited.

<Equipment with protective equipment (vest with protective equipment)
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated protective equipment 10 is, for example, a protective vest 14 that is worn on the upper body to protect the chest, waist, and the like. The vest with protective equipment 14 includes at least a mounting part 2c to be mounted on a target region, and a protective equipment 3c to be attached to the mounting part 2c. Preferably, as shown in the figure, the protective vest 14 further includes two protectors 3b each attached to both shoulders of the mounting portion 2c.

The mounting portion 2c is a vest made of cloth, knitted fabric, rubber material, or the like as a base material. The mounting portion 2c includes a main body 21c and a connecting portion 23c (for example, a fastener) that connects both front body portions.

As an example, the vest 14 with protective equipment includes four protective equipment 3c, as shown in the figure. The protective equipment 3c includes a wire rod group 40c, the base of which is fixed to the back portion (rear body) of the wearing part, and which is made up of a plurality of wire rods having loops of different sizes. Each wire of the wire rod group 40c is formed by further bending the U-shaped or C-shaped wire rod into a substantially U-shape with two bent portions on the limbs and a distal end and a proximal end facing each other. More specifically, the base end of each wire rod is located in the rear back part, and the limb 402 is bent so as to surround the side from the rear to form the third bent part 406, and further surround the front from the side. The fourth bent part 407 is formed by bending in this manner, and the tip reaches the front chest or waist. Since the wire 4 has the fourth bent portion 407, the tip and the front portion of some of the limbs are biased, and when pushed toward the mounting portion 2c, a restoring force is generated to return to the original state. Further, the wire rod group 40c is arranged in the shape of a convex depression in the front direction like the wire rod group described above, and has the same function as the wire rod group described above.

In the protective vest 14, like the above-mentioned protective attachment, the group of wires contacts the object O and supports the load of the object O while being bent, so that the target region is protected from impact and more appropriately protected. In addition to the shoulders, important parts such as the ribs (visceral organs inside the ribs, such as the heart, lungs, and liver) and the abdomen (small intestine, large intestine, etc.) can also be protected.

<Equipment with protective equipment (helmet with protective equipment)
9 and 10 are diagrams showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated protective equipment 10 is, for example, a protective helmet 15 that is worn on the head to protect the head.

The protective equipment 3d is attached to the forehead of the wearing part 2d. More specifically, the protector 3d is provided from the forehead to the top of the head, and includes a base 31d and a wire group 40d. The base 31d may be a part of the main body 21d, or may be formed separately and attached to the main body 21d. The wire group 40d may be rotatably attached to the main body of the mounting portion 2d via the base or directly.

Each wire of the wire group 40d has a second bent portion 405 formed in its limb. Each wire extends backward and upward from the limbs to the tips and covers and protects the forehead to the top of the head. Each wire rod has a bending portion, similar to the wire rods described above, and thus has restoring force. Further, the wire rod group 40d is arranged in the shape of a convex depression in the front direction like the wire rod group described above, and has the same function as the wire rod group described above.

The protective equipment 3e is attached to the back of the head of the attachment part 2d. More specifically, the protector 3e is provided from the back of the head to the top of the head, and includes a base and a wire group 40e. The base is similar to the base 31d. Each wire of the wire group 40e has a second bent portion 405 formed in its limb. Each wire extends forward and upward from the limbs to the tips and covers and protects from the back of the head to the top of the head. Each wire rod has a bending portion, similar to the wire rods described above, and thus has restoring force. Further, the wire rod group 40e is arranged in the shape of a convex depression in the front direction like the wire rod group described above, and has the same function as the wire rod group described above.

The protector 3f is provided so as to extend from the side of the mounting portion 2d toward the top of the head, and includes a base portion 31f and a wire group 40f. The base is similar to the base 31d. The base end of each wire in the wire group 40f extends along the base, and the limbs and tips extend upward to cover and protect the temporal region. The wire rod group 40f is arranged in the shape of a convex depression in the front direction like the wire rod group described above, and has the same function as the wire rod group described above.

The protective device 3g is provided in front of the mounting portion 2d and includes a base portion 31g and a wire rod 4g. The base 31g is similar to the base described above. The wire 4g has a proximal end 403 extending along the base, and a distal end 401 formed into a substantially coil shape. As an example, here the number of turns of the coil shape is approximately 1.5. Since the wire 4g has a coil shape, when it is pushed in the direction of the mounting portion 2d, a restoring force is generated that causes the wire to return to its original state.

As shown in FIG. 10, the helmet with protective equipment 15 has the protective equipment 3d, the protective equipment 3e, the protective equipment 3f, and the protective equipment 3g, so that the impact applied from the direction of the arrow shown in the figure can be alleviated, and the target area can be more appropriately targeted.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated protective equipment 10 is, for example, a protective shoe 17 that is worn on the foot to protect the foot. The protective shoe 17 includes a mounting part 2l that is attached to a target region, and two protectors 3ll that are attached to the mounting part 2l. The mounting portion 2l is a shoe made of rubber, leather, cloth, woven fabric, resin, or the like as a base material.

The protective equipment 3l includes a base portion attached to the sole of the mounting portion 2l and a wire group 40l. After the base end of each wire in the wire group 40l extends substantially perpendicularly from the base 31j, it is bent in the back direction and approaches the attachment part, forming a first bent part 404. The wire rod group 40l is arranged in the shape of a convex depression in the front direction like the wire rods described above, and has the same function as the wire rod group described above.

As shown in FIG. 13(a), the weight of the protectors 3l is normally applied evenly to both protectors 3l, and both protectors can reduce the impact that the foot receives from the ground. As shown in FIG. 13(b), for example, when kicking the ground with a fingertip, the weight is applied to the front, but in this case, the front protector 3l can cushion the impact. As shown in FIG. 13(c), for example, when the user steps forward with the heel, the weight is applied to the heel, but in this case, the rear protector 3l can cushion the impact.

By being equipped with the protective gear 3l, the protective shoes 17 can not only reduce impact, but also obtain jumping force, forward force, etc. when running due to the elastic force of the protective gear 21.

<Modified example>
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 15 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 14 for explaining the connector. As shown in the figure, in the shoe 17 with protective equipment, the protective equipment 3l has a connecting tool 51, and the wire rod group 40l is composed of two wire rods.

The connector 51 is, for example, a block-shaped member made of plastic resin, rubber, or the like, as shown in the figure. The connector 51 has a large hole through which one wire 41l is inserted, so that the one wire 41l can move within the hole, and a hole through which the other wire 42l is inserted is approximately the same size or slightly larger than the outer circumference of that wire. It has an inner circumference. By having the connector 51, the protector 3l can link the movements of the wires in the wire group. Furthermore, the ends of each wire can be maintained at a predetermined distance from each other, thereby reinforcing the ends and improving the grip between the ends and the ground.

Although the connecting tool is shown here as an example provided only on the front side of the wire rod group, it may also be provided on the rear side. Moreover, although the example in which the wire rod group has two wire rods is illustrated, it may have three or more wire rods.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing another example of the connector shown in FIG. 15. As shown in FIG. 16(a), the connectors in the protector 3l may be, for example, two connectors 51 that each straddle two wire rods. The connector 51 is, for example, in the shape of a long plate, and has two through holes that are arranged in front and back in the longitudinal direction and that penetrate through the plate surface. One of the through-holes has an inner circumference that is approximately the same as or slightly larger than its outer circumference so that the one wire 41l can just pass through, and the other through-hole (play hole) allows the other wire 42l to move within the through-hole. It has an inner circumference that is larger than its outer circumference. The other through hole is, for example, a hole that is long in the longitudinal direction of the connector 51 as shown in the figure.

In addition, when 40 l of wire rod groups are comprised from three or more wire rods, as an example, three or more through-holes are formed in 5 l of connectors, and the size of a hole is set according to each wire rod. Alternatively, as an example, it may have two or more connectors 51 and connect two wires each.

As shown in FIG. 16(b), one or more wire rods in the wire rod group of the protective equipment 3l may be two wire rods connected by a connector 511. For example, the tips of two approximately L-shaped wire rods 41l are connected with one pipe-shaped connector 511 to form one loop-shaped wire rod, and the tips of two approximately L-shaped wire rods 42l are connected. They may be connected with another pipe-shaped connector 511 to form one loop-shaped wire rod, and these may be further connected with the connector 51 to constitute the protective device 3l.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a wire rod of a protective equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention. The strength of the protective equipment may be reinforced by providing a reinforcing portion near the tip 401 of the wire 4. The reinforcing portion may be composed of a loop-shaped wire rod or a straight wire rod.

As shown in FIG. 17A, for example, the reinforcing portion 52 is provided so as to protrude from the tip 401. For example, as shown in the figure, the reinforcing portion 52 is made of a loop-shaped elastic wire, and is formed like a ring-shaped claw, with a portion protruding from the tip 401 in the shape of a claw. The reinforcing portion 52 is fixed to the tip 401 by spot welding, for example, and a plurality of welded portions 521 are formed. Note that the method of fixing the reinforcing portion to the wire is not particularly limited, and known techniques may be used as appropriate. As shown in FIG. 17(b), for example, the reinforcing portion 52 may be provided behind the tip. As shown in FIG. 17(c), the reinforcing portion 52 is not limited to a wire rod, and may be formed of a band-shaped member made of metal or plastic resin. The reinforcing portion 52 is, for example, such a band-shaped member and is formed so as to cross the wire 4 in a bridge shape. Both ends of the reinforcing portion 52 are, for example, wound around and fixed to the wire 4.

<Equipment with protective equipment (gloves with protective equipment) (finger supporter)>
FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. 19 to 22 are partially enlarged views of FIG. 18 for explaining the protective equipment. The illustrated protective equipment 10 is, for example, a protective glove 18 that is worn on the hand. The protective gloves 18 can be applied to gloves worn when riding a car or motorcycle, gloves for sports, and the like.

Gloves with protective equipment 18 include a mounting part 2m that is attached to a target area, and any one of protection equipment 3m, protection equipment 3n, protection equipment 3o, and protection equipment 3p that is attached to the mounting part 2m. and two or more protective equipment. The wearing part 2m is a glove made of rubber, leather, cloth, woven fabric, resin, etc. as a base material.

The protective equipment 3m is attached to the back of the hand of the attachment part 2m. As shown in FIG. 19, the protective equipment 3m includes a wire rod 4m and a support member 53. The wire 41m is one closed loop wire. The wire 41m is bent to form two loops of different sizes, and when the loop surface is viewed from above, the small loop 422m is located within the large loop 421m. Preferably, the connecting portion 423m between the large loop 421m and the small loop 422m is inclined toward the front, and both loops form an angle of 90 degrees or less. Both the connecting portion 423m and the small loop 422m may be inclined to form an angle with the large loop 421m. As a result, the small loop 422m is urged, and when pushed in the direction of the attachment part, a restoring force is generated that tends to return to its original state.

The covering member 53 is a member that is applied so as to cover a part of the wire 4m, and is made of, for example, rubber, leather, cloth, woven fabric, or resin. The backing member 53 is fixed to the mounting portion by sewing, gluing, or the like so as to cover a portion of the large loop 421m. As an example, the wire 4m is attached to the attachment part via two support members 53 as shown in the figure.

The protector 3n is attached to the base of the thumb of the attachment part, and has a base 31n and a wire group 40n, as shown in FIG. The base 31n is, for example, a metal plate. Each wire of the wire group 40n is fixed to the base 31n by welding, adhesion, spot welding, or the like. The contact member 53 is applied to the mounting portion so as to cover the base portion 31n and is fixed.

After the base end 403 of each wire in the wire group 40n extends along the surface of the base 31n, it is bent in the front direction to form a first bent part 404, and further bent in the back direction at the limb 402 to form a first bent part 404. Two bent portions 405 are formed. In this embodiment, the first bent portion 404 and the second bent portion 405 have an angle of 90 degrees or more, so that each wire has a substantially Z-shaped portion when viewed from the side. As a result, the tip and limb portions of each wire are biased, and when pushed toward the mounting portion, a restoring force is generated that tends to return to the original state. Further, the wire rod group 40n is arranged in a convex depression shape in the front direction like the wire rods described above, and has the same function as the wire rod group described above.

The protector 3o is attached to a finger other than the thumb of the attachment part, and has a base 31o and a wire 4o, as shown in FIG. The base 31o is, for example, a metal plate. The wire 4o is fixed to the base 31o by welding, adhesion, spot welding, or the like. The contact member 53 is applied to the mounting portion so as to cover the base portion 31o and is fixed.

After the base end 403 of the wire 4o extends along the surface of the base 31o, the wire 4o bends greatly and transitions to the limb 402. The limb 402 extends obliquely toward the front side, and the tip 401 is formed into a coil shape. As an example, here the number of turns of the coil shape is approximately 1.5. Since the wire 4o has a substantially coil shape, when pushed, a restoring force is generated that causes the wire 4o to return to its original shape.

The protective equipment 3p is attached to the root portions of the finger portions of the attachment portion, for example, the root portions of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger. As shown in FIG. 22, the protector 3p has a base 31p and a wire group 40p. The base 31p is, for example, a metal plate. The wire group 40p is fixed to the base 31p by welding, adhesion, spot welding, or the like. The contact member 53 is applied to the mounting portion so as to cover the base portion 31p and is fixed.

After the proximal end 403 of each wire in the wire group 40p extends along the surface of the base 31p, it bends toward the front and transitions to a limb 402, forming a first bent part 404, and the limb 402 further extends to the back. A second bent portion 405 is formed by bending in the direction. The first bent portion 404 and the second bent portion 405 have an angle of 90 degrees or more, so that each wire has a substantially Z-shaped portion. As a result, the tip and limb portions of each wire are biased, and when pushed toward the attachment part, a restoring force is generated that tends to return to the original state. In addition, the wire rod group 40p is arranged in such a manner that the first wire rod 41p, the second wire rod 42p, and the third wire rod 43p are lined up horizontally in a line with a predetermined gap between each other, and the base portions of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are connected to each other. It is fixed to the base 31p so as to cover it.

<Equipped with protective equipment (pot with protective equipment)>
FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated protective equipment attachment 60 is intended for plants, and includes a housing part 8q that accommodates the roots of the plant, and a protective equipment 3q attached to the housing part 8q. In this embodiment, the protective equipment-equipped item 60 is a protective equipment-equipped flowerpot 61 that accommodates and protects plants (plants, grass, flowers, etc.). The housing portion 8q is a pot made of ceramic, plastic resin, metal, glass, stone, wood, or the like.

Protective equipment 3q includes a base 31q and two or more wire rod groups 40q. The base portion 31q may be a part of the accommodating portion 8q, or may be formed separately and attached to the accommodating portion 8q. As an example, the upper end of the accommodating portion 8q is provided with the same number of holes as the wire rods, and each wire rod of the wire rod group is attached to these holes. Here, the protector 3q has three wire rod groups 40q, and protects the object O by surrounding it from three sides. Note that the number of wire rod groups can be set as appropriate, and may be two or four or more (the same applies to each embodiment below).

Each wire of the wire rod group 40q extends along the base 31q, is bent toward the front to form a first bent portion 404, and is further bent toward the back at the limb 402 to form a second bent portion 405. . As a result, the tip and limb portions of each wire are urged, and when pushed, a restoring force is generated that tends to return to its original state. Further, the wire rod group 40q is arranged in the shape of a convex depression in the front direction like the wire rods described above, and has the same function as the wire rod group described above.

With this configuration, the protective pot 61 will not damage the plant even if it falls over. In addition, even if you hit something or a strong wind blows, you can reduce the impact by weakening the wind pressure on the windward loop and supporting plants on the leeward side.

<Protective equipment>
FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a protective device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The protector 3r may be attached to a flowerpot or may be inserted directly into the ground. The protector 3r may be fitted and attached to the inner or outer circumference of the pot, or may be attached with screws or the like.

The protector 3r includes a base 31r and two wire groups 40r. The base 31r is formed in a ring shape. The base 31r may be formed of a wire rod as shown in the figure, or may be formed by bending a plate. The base portion 31r is provided with two or more anchors 311r extending substantially perpendicularly from the lower end.

The wire rod group 40r is composed of, for example, three wire rods (41r, 42r, and 43r), and is attached to the base 31r so as to surround the ring shape. The wire rod group 41r is arranged in the shape of a convex concave surface in the same manner as the wire rod group described above, and has a similar function. The protector 3r may be configured such that each wire can be inserted into the base 31r later.

<Equipment with protective equipment (packaging equipment with protective equipment)>
FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a protective equipment-equipped article according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated protective equipment 60 is, for example, a protective packaging device 62 for containing and protecting (supporting) plants when the plants are delivered or presented as gifts. The protective packaging device 62 includes a storage section 8s and a protective device 3s attached to the storage section 8s.

As shown in FIGS. 25(a) and 25(b), as an example, the protective equipment 3s includes a base portion that also serves as a part of the housing portion 8s, and three wire rod groups 40s attached to the base portion. The wire rod group 40s is similar to the wire rod group 40q described above.

The housing section 8s includes a plurality of enclosure sections 81s surrounding the roots of the target plant, and a bottom section 82s movably connected to the enclosure sections 81s. The number of enclosure parts 81s is the same as the number of wire rod groups 40s, and each wire of the wire rod group 40s is fixed to the upper end of the enclosure part 81s. The enclosing portion 81s is formed into a plate shape having a generally arcuate cross-sectional view, and the width becomes gradually narrower from the upper end to the lower end. A rod-shaped portion 811s extending in the vertical direction is provided to protrude from the lower end of the enclosure portion 81s. The rod-shaped portion 811s has an arc shape when viewed in longitudinal section, and its lower end movably engages with the bottom portion 82s. For example, the rod-shaped portion 811s and the bottom portion 82s are movably engaged by having a shaft or a protrusion provided on one side and a through hole or a bottomed hole provided on the other side.

The housing portion 8s is formed into a conical shape as a whole and can be opened and closed. As shown in FIG. 25(a), in the open state, each of the enclosures 81s opens outward, and the gaps between the enclosures are widened. In this state, the root part of the target plant is inserted up to the enclosure 81s, and the enclosure 81s is closed. Then, as shown in FIG. 25(b), the plant O becomes in a closed state, and the root part of the plant O is sandwiched between the enclosure parts 81s and fixed. Note that a water-absorbing sponge or the like for supplying nutrients to the plant O is attached to the root portion of the plant O. The inner periphery of the enclosing part 81 is set according to the outer periphery of the root part of the plant O (including sponges, etc.), and is set to be slightly smaller than the root part of the plant O.

By configuring the protective equipment 3s in this way, it protects the object during delivery or movement, and prevents excessive packaging. Moreover, the cost can be reduced by repeatedly using the protective equipment 3s. Moreover, if the wire rods are colored, the design quality will also be improved.

As shown in FIG. 25(c), as another example, the protective equipment-equipped packaging device 62 includes a housing portion 8s and a protective equipment 3s attached to the housing portion 8s. As an example, the housing section 8s has a bottomed cylindrical shape as shown in the figure, but it has a surrounding section 81s and a bottom section 82s like the housing section 8s shown in FIGS. 25(a) and 25(b). It may be configured to be openable and closable.

The protector 3s includes a base 31s, three wire groups 40s attached to the base 31s, and a hinge portion 32s. In the protector 3s, the base 31s is rotatably attached to the housing part 8s via the hinge part 32s, and the wire group 40s does not move further inward from the closed state at a predetermined angle that covers the plant on the front side. . This prevents the wire rod group 40s from getting too close to the target and protects the target plant.

Moreover, by interposing the hinge part 32s, the wire group 40s is rotatably attached to the housing part 8s, and the tip side can be opened widely to the outside. As a result, even if the object is large and the wire rod group is large, when the wire rod group is temporarily placed on a stand or the like during delivery or gifting, the wire rod group in an open state can support the storage section 8s so that it does not fall. In addition, by opening the wire rod group, the plants can be visually enhanced and the design is improved.

Furthermore, if a hinge member that can be fixed at a plurality of angles or an arbitrary angle, such as a torque hinge, is used on the hinge portion 32s, the wire group 40s can be rotatably attached to the housing portion 8s, and furthermore, the wire group 40s can be rotatably attached to the housing portion 8s. It can be held at a predetermined angle.

For example, the wire rod group 40s can be held in a half-open state forming an angle of 90 degrees or more and 160 degrees or less with respect to the circumferential surface of the storage portion, and it is possible to support or correct the spreading and drooping of plants. Although it depends on the shape of the accommodating part, in the case of the illustrated accommodating part 8s, the wire rod group 40s is in a substantially upright state at an angle of approximately 180 degrees with respect to the circumferential surface of the accommodating part, and is in a fully open state where it is substantially horizontal. The angle is approximately 90 degrees with respect to the circumferential surface of the accommodating portion.

Note that the hinge portion 32s does not necessarily need to be a hinge, as long as the wire group can rotate in stages and maintain that state.
Alternatively, for example, a structure may be adopted in which the tips of the wire rod groups 40s collide with each other and the wire rod groups 40s do not become narrower.

<Wire rod fixing part (wire rod fixing (mounting) structure)>
Basically, when a wire is subjected to force such as bending, stress is applied to the part it supports (especially near the end of the supporting member), which causes elastic fatigue, which often causes it to break or break. . Therefore, it is necessary to have a structure that does not cause elastic fatigue in the supporting parts. The following can be considered as such a structure.
1. A structure in which the support part gradually bends (for example, the support part is made of soft material, rubber material, plastic resin, etc., or the support part is made of a wire that gradually becomes thicker)
2. A structure in which the tip of the wire support part is formed into a curved surface so that the stress on the wire is not concentrated in one point, but is received over a wide area (for example, the tip of the inner part of the support part that touches the wire is curved, and a flexible receiving material is placed inside) )
3. Structure that suppresses bending at support and joint parts 4. Structure that prevents deterioration of members due to scratches and welding of members These are considered below, but individual explanations will be omitted.

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a wire rod fixing part according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 26(a) is a diagram showing the wire rod after attachment, and FIG. 26(b) is a diagram showing the wire rod before attachment.

The wire fastening section 7 includes a receiving section 71 and a stopper 72. The receiving portion 71 is the aforementioned base portion, mounting portion, accommodating portion, or the like. Although the receiving portion 71 is illustrated as having a plate shape, the receiving portion 71 is not limited to this, and may have an appropriate shape. In this embodiment, the wire rod 4 is fixed so as to extend (protrude) substantially perpendicularly from the receiving portion 71 .

The stopper 72 includes, for example, two sandwich plates, a sandwich plate 721 and a sandwich plate 722, and a fastening portion 723 that fastens both the sandwich plates. The sandwich plate 721 and the sandwich plate 722 include accommodating portions 7211 and 7221 that accommodate the end portion 410 of the wire rod 4 . The accommodating portions 7211 and 7221 have a substantially semicylindrical shape having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the wire 4, such as a substantially semicircular shape, for example. Fastening parts 723 are installed in side parts 7212 and 7222 on both sides of the accommodating parts 7211 and 7221. The fastening portion 723 is, for example, a fastener such as a screw, bolt, or nut. Note that the fastening portion 723 may be spot welded or the like.

The sandwich plate 722 has a connecting portion 7223 for connecting to the receiving portion 71 . The connecting portion 7223 extends from one end of the accommodating portion 7221, and then is bent toward the inner side, which is the accommodating side, and the outer side, which is opposite to the accommodating side, to form a substantially L-shape. The width of the connecting portion 7223 is narrower than that of the accommodating portion 7221, and a substantially L-shaped notch is formed between the two. The connection of the connecting portion 7223 to the receiving portion 71 is not particularly limited, and known techniques may be used as appropriate.

FIG. 27 is a diagram showing another example of the wire rod fastening portion of FIG. 26. In order to prevent twisting of the wire 4, the protective equipment may be provided with a bent portion 411 by bending the end portion 410. In this case, as shown in the figure, the sandwiching plate 721 is provided with an extending portion 7213 extending from one end of the accommodating portion 7211. The width of the extending portion 7213 is narrower than that of the accommodating portion 7211, and a substantially L-shaped notch is formed between the two. The bent portion 411 of the wire 4 is an L-shaped notch formed by the accommodating portion 7211 and the extending portion 7213 of the sandwich plate 721, and an L-shaped notch formed by the accommodating portion 7221 and the connecting portion 7223 of the sandwich plate 722. It is sandwiched between the letter-shaped notch and fixed. Note that twisting of the wire can be prevented by crushing a part of the end portion 410 to change the approximately circular cross-sectional shape to a generally oval shape or a shape having a flat surface, and by making the accommodating portions 7211 and 7221 have a corresponding cross-sectional shape. It may be realized. Further, twisting may be prevented by applying a non-slip finish such as a blast finish or a hairline finish to the surface near the connection part. Furthermore, adhesion with an adhesive may be applied.

FIG. 28 is a diagram showing a wire rod fixing part according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 28(a) is a view after the wire rod is attached, and FIG. 28(b) is a diagram showing the wire rod before the wire rod is attached.

The wire fastening section 7 includes a receiving section 71 and a stopper 73. The receiving part 71 differs from the previous example in that it has a hole 711. In the hole portion 711, a through hole passes through the center, and a peripheral wall portion around the hole has a substantially tapered shape in cross section. In this embodiment, the wire rod 4 is provided so as to extend (protrude) from the receiving portion 71 substantially perpendicularly.

As an example, the stopper 73 includes a bolt member 731 that is inserted through the hole 711, a nut 732 that is screwed into the male threaded portion of the bolt member 731, and a washer 733 between the bolt member 731 and the nut 732.

The bolt member 731 has a hexagonal hole in its head. Further, the portion of the head of the bolt member 731 adjacent to the shaft portion is approximately tapered in cross-sectional view, and when the bolt member 731 is inserted into the hole 711, this tapered portion comes into contact with the peripheral wall of the hole 711. come into contact with The shaft portion of the bolt member 731 is provided with a male thread on its outer peripheral surface, and the tip of the shaft portion has a shape that is reduced in diameter and becomes thinner. Further, the bolt member 731 has a through hole that axially passes through the center of the shaft portion or the center of both the head and the shaft portion, and a female thread is provided on the inner circumferential surface of this through hole.
