Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a drinking water replenishing device for replenishing drinking water to a driver in so-called motorcycle sports, in which driving a motorcycle or a motorized bicycle has become a sport.

One of the motorcycle sports is a competition called motorcycle cross country (hereinafter abbreviated as motocross). Motocross is a competition for running speed and running stability on rough roads, and involves overcoming all obstacles such as uneven road surfaces, dirt and muddy water, and completing a course that includes many steep slopes and sharp curves as quickly as possible. It is a tough competition where you have to run the distance without any problems.

When such motocross competitions are held, particularly in deserts where the outside temperature is high and the air is dry, there is increased sweating and dehydration, which increases fatigue and leads to a lack of physical strength in the latter half of the competition.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a drinking water replenishment device that allows drinking water to be taken while driving.

The drinking water supply device according to the present invention includes a breast guard equipped with a container for holding drinking water, a helmet equipped with a mouthpiece for drinking water, and a communication pipe communicating the container and the mouthpiece. It is characterized by becoming.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the device of the present invention.

The illustrated body protection equipment is for protecting the chest, head, shoulders, etc. of a rider who rides a motorcycle or motorized bicycle and participates in motocross competition.

The breast guard 1 protects the rider's chest, and includes a guard portion 2 that is preferably made of hard synthetic resin and covers the rider's chest, and a loosening adjustment function (see Fig. (not shown), and is provided with a band portion 3 that supports the guard portion 2 in close contact with both shoulders and torso of the rider, respectively.
and 4.

The guard portion 2 includes a pair of storage portions 5 that are symmetrical to each other when viewed from the rider and are comprised of elastic members that are substantially pocket-shaped.
and 6 are provided.

A substantially rectangular parallelepiped container 7 containing drinking water is stored in the storage part 5, and is locked by a flap 8 provided above the storage part so that it does not fly out of the storage part 5. Further, the container 7 is made of a relatively soft material such as soft synthetic resin.

A drinking water outlet 9 is provided protruding from approximately the center of the upper end of the container 7, and protrudes outward from an opening 10 provided in the flap 8 corresponding to the outlet 9. Also, inside the container 7 is a communication pipe 1 whose one end communicates with the lower end of the discharge port 9 and whose other end reaches the bottom of the container 7.
1 is provided.

In addition, although the case where the container 7 is stored in the storage part 5 is shown here, it is of course possible to move it to the storage part 6 depending on the operability. It is also possible to store a total of two.

Therefore, the storage section 6 is configured in exactly the same manner as the storage section 5, and includes a flap 8 and an opening 1 of the storage section 5.
A flap 12 and an opening 13 similar to 0 are provided.

On the other hand, a full-face type helmet 15 that protects the rider's head is provided with an on-off valve 16 at a position approximately corresponding to the corner of the rider's mouth.
An opening/closing knob 17 of the opening/closing valve 16 projects outside the helmet 15. A connecting portion 18 provided at one end of the on-off valve 16 is connected to the other end of a communication pipe 19 that fits into the upper end of the outlet 9 to communicate the on-off valve 16 with the outlet 9. . Also, on-off valve 1
A mouthpiece 20 that communicates with the communication pipe 19 via the on-off valve is attached to the front part of the rider 6 so that the rider can easily put it in his or her mouth.

The goggles 21 and the visor 22 provided on the helmet 15 are for protecting the rider's eyes, and the shoulder pads 23 are for protecting the shoulders.

The drinking water supply device configured as described above is operated as follows.

First, open the on-off valve 16 by operating the on-off knob 17. Thereafter, the sides of the container 7 are pressed together with the storage portion 5 to cause the container 7 to be elastically deformed. Then, the pressure inside the container 7 increases, and the drinking water is discharged from the mouthpiece 20 through the communication pipe 19, the discharge port 9, the communication pipe 11, and the on-off valve 16.

FIG. 5 shows a device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which two storage chambers, a drinking water storage chamber 25 and a compressed air storage chamber 26, are formed of a relatively strong material such as hard synthetic resin or metal. A container 27 is stored in the storage section 5. The drinking water storage chamber 25 and the compressed air storage chamber 26 are configured to communicate with each other by opening a communication valve (not shown).
Further, the container 27 is locked by a flap 8 provided above the storage portion 5 so as not to fly out from the storage portion 5.

A drinking water outlet 2 is located approximately in the center of the upper end of the container 27.
8 is disposed in a discharge manner and protrudes to the outside from an opening 10 of the flap 8. Also, container 27
A communication pipe 29 is provided in the drinking water storage chamber 25 , one end of which communicates with the lower end of the discharge port 28 and the other end of which reaches the bottom of the drinking water storage chamber 25 . One end connecting portion 18 of a communication tube 19 that communicates with the mouthpiece 20 (not shown) is fitted into the upper end of the discharge port 28 .

Here, the same reference numerals as those used in the description of the first embodiment device are used for members having the same configuration as the first embodiment device, and the configuration other than the above is also configured exactly the same as the first embodiment device. I won't go into details because it has already been done.

In this embodiment, drinking water is pumped by compressed air and supplied to the rider.

As detailed above, the drinking water replenishment device according to the present invention allows drinking water to be ingested through the mouthpiece while continuing to run, so even in places where the outside temperature is high and the air is dry, such as in the desert, dehydration and physical strength can be reduced. It is possible to continue the competition without any deterioration.

Furthermore, in the drinking water supply device according to the present invention, the drinking water container, mouthpiece, etc. are compactly attached to the breast guard and helmet worn on the rider's body, so they do not interfere with the rider's exercise while riding. There is no such thing.

Furthermore, in the drinking water replenishing device according to the present invention, the drinking water container is attached to the breast guard, so that the container acts as a kind of shock absorber in the event of a fall.
