JPH0564673A - Face protector for kendo - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To achieve protection of ears when a face protector is worn in kendo (Japanese fencing) by cutting extraneous noise while a space is secured to releasing air between an internal surface of a face pad and the ears. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of through holes are provided at a part which a face pad 3 contacts the ears when a face protector 1 for kendo is worn while a protection layer 13 which is made from a foamed synthetic resin, cotton and an unwoven cloth of a synthetic fiber laminating them, is provided on the side of an internal surface of the part. The foamed synthetic resin layer of the protection layer 13 cuts noises from outside to prevent hard hearing. Thus, the through holes of the face pad 3 serves to release air inside thereby reducing effect on an eardrum when the face protector 1 is impacted intensely.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Kendo armor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a kendo armor has a face metal 2 and a face troupe 3 and a chin 4 attached thereto. In this mask, the pad 3 is made by laminating felt, cotton, and cotton cloth. When the mask is worn, the pad 3 covers the upper head, the side head, and the neck, and the head of the user. And protect the neck.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When wearing this face armor and tying it with a face cord, the inner surface of the paddle 3 will be in close contact with the ear. The screaming inside, the sound of the bamboo swords hitting each other, and the reverberations of these may strongly affect your ears, causing hearing loss. Also, the eardrum of the ear may be broken by a strong impact when hit with a bamboo sword. Such a problem is caused by the fact that there is no escape area for air between the inner surface of the squadron 3 and the ear, and the vibration of air directly presses the eardrum.

[0004] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to shield external noise and to secure an escape area for air between the inner surface of the troupe and the ears, and to wear knitted armor when performing kendo. There is protection.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The kendo mask of the present invention is provided with a plurality of through holes at a portion where the mask comes into contact with the ear when the mask is worn, and at the inner surface side of the portion.
The protective layer is formed by laminating a foamed synthetic resin, a cotton cloth and a synthetic fiber non-woven fabric.

[0006]

In the armor for kendo according to the present invention, since the protective layer is present between the inner surface of the face pad and the ear and the face pad is provided with a plurality of through holes, the foam synthetic resin of the protective layer is provided. The layer reduces annoying treble and also allows the internal air to escape to the outside from the through holes of the comedy pad.

As shown in FIG. 1, the face protector 1 includes a face metal 2,
Face pad 3, a chin 4, an inner ring 5, which is attached to surround the face metal 2,
Inner ring 5 followed by double chin 6, cloth-covered metal protection plate 7
It consists of

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of through holes 8 (only two of the cross-sectional positions are shown in the figure are shown at the portion where the face pad 3 touches the ear when the face armor 1 is worn. Are provided). An eyelet 9 is put on the through hole 8 so that the breakage does not occur from the hole.

Further, on the inner surface side of the portion where the paddle 3 touches the ear, the synthetic resin foam 10, the cotton cloth 11, and the non-woven cloth 1 of synthetic fiber 1 are formed.
2 is provided with a protective layer 13 which is laminated. As the foam synthetic resin 10, for example, urethane foam is used, and the layer thickness is 1
About 0 to 20 mm is suitable. Non-woven fabric 12
For example, Clarino (trade name) is used, and a thickness of about 0.5 to 1.0 mm is sufficient. The synthetic fiber nonwoven fabric 12 is provided with a plurality of holes 14 (four holes in this embodiment) at appropriate positions.

When the face protector 1 is worn, the protective layer 13 is interposed between the inner surface of the face pad 3 and the ear, and the protective layer 13 performs a sound insulation function. In particular, the 10 layers of the foamed synthetic resin block the sound in the high frequency range, and the harsh sound is reduced.
Further, since the through hole 8 communicating with the outside of the troupe 3 serves as an escape path for the air near the ears, the vibration of the air due to a strong impact when hit with a bamboo sword is weakened, and the effect on the eardrum is reduced.

[0012]

The armor for kendo according to the present invention has the following effects. Since the protective layer including the foamed synthetic resin layer is present between the inner surface of the comedy pad and the ears and the foamed synthetic resin layer reduces the noise from the outside reaching the ears, the hearing loss can be prevented. Since the through holes of the surface troupe provided in the protective layer portion serve as an escape path for the air inside, the influence on the eardrum when a strong impact is applied to the surface armor is reduced.
