The present invention relates to a structure of a vest for cold protection used for leisure such as fishing.

In fishing etc. in the winter season, an angler needs to take sufficient cold protection measures. As a general cold protection measure, anglers wear innerwear such as underwear with high heat retention, outerwear with excellent moisture permeability, and further wear middleware such as a vest between innerwear and outerwear to increase warmth. (For example, refer patent document 1-patent document 3).

The vest as a conventional middleware is provided with an air-filled thermostat. This air-filled thermostat is commonly known as 'AIRVANTAGE'. This air-filled thermostat is equipped with the heat insulation sheet sewn on the inner side of the front length and the back length of a vest. This heat insulating sheet is overlapped with two pieces of cloth, and the air filling chamber is partitioned between them. Furthermore, an air supply tube communicating with the air filling chamber is connected to the heat insulating sheet. The angler blows into the air supply tube to fill the air charging chamber with air at a temperature approximately equal to the body temperature, thereby obtaining a high thermal insulation effect.

Certainly, in the conventional vest, the cold protection effect on the specification resulting from the structure or function is excellent. However, if the angler actually wears a vest, the effect of cold protection that can be felt is more due to the amount of air actually flowing between the body and the vest than the structure or function of the vest. In other words, even if the vest has excellent thermal insulation in structure, if the wind escapes between the body of the angler and the vest when the angler actually wears it, the angler cannot finally experience the effect of cold protection.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wearer's leisure vest high in cold protection effect.

In order to achieve the above object, the leisure vest according to the present invention has a front body and a rear body, and an air-filled thermal insulation device disposed to cover the inside of the front body and the rear body, with a vest body having an armhole installed therebetween, and A tightening mechanism for expanding the inner diameter of the arm hole is provided. Especially in leisures, such as fishing in the winter season, an angler wears this leisure vest. An air rechargeable thermostat keeps the angler's body warm. If the angler wears this leisure vest, the angler's arms come out of the armhole. The angler can reduce the inner diameter of the armhole by the tightening mechanism, whereby a gap does not occur between the armhole and the angler's arms. On the other hand, the angler can increase the inner diameter of the armhole by the tightening mechanism, whereby the angler can easily take off the leisure vest when necessary.

The tightening mechanism is provided in an annular band provided along the periphery of the armhole, embedded in the periphery of the annular band, a part of which is provided on the string exposed from the annular band, and is provided in the annular band. It may be configured with a lock member that is detachably gripped. In this case, the angler can release the lock state between the lock member and the string and pull the string. Thereby, the said armhole is tightened and the inner diameter dimension becomes small. The angler can fix the strap by a lock member, whereby the armhole is maintained in the tightened state. Therefore, a gap does not arise between an angler's arm and an armhole.

Since the annular band is provided at the periphery of the armhole, the annular band is tightened when the angler pulls the string. Therefore, the fabric constituting the front road and the rear road is not strongly folded. That is, the front road and the rear road are not damaged. On the other hand, the angler releases the lock state between the lock member and the string and accommodates the string inside the annular band, thereby increasing the inner diameter of the armhole.

It is preferable that the said annular strip is comprised by the cloth of the two-way stretch type. As a result, when the inner diameter of the armhole is reduced, the annular band reliably contacts the angler's arm with a constant urgency. Thus, a gap is surely prevented between the angler's arm and the armhole. In addition, the annular band is stretched and contracted very easily by being composed of a two-way stretch type cloth. Therefore, even if the expansion of the armhole is repeated, the annular band is not easily damaged.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the said string consists of elastic bodies. As a result, when the angler pulls the string to tighten the arm hole, the inner diameter of the arm hole is easily and quickly reduced by the elasticity (shrinkage force) of the string. In addition, when the lock state between the lock member and the string is released, the inner diameter of the armhole increases at an instant due to the elastic force of the string.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, this invention is demonstrated in detail based on preferable embodiment, referring an appropriate drawing.

1 is a front view of a vest according to an embodiment of the present invention. This vest 10 is typically worn by anglers when fishing, and is mainly configured as middleware worn inside the outer wear. Above all, this vest 10 is not only worn by anglers, but is used in leisure general where cold protection is required. In addition, this vest 10 is not only used as middleware but may also be used as outerwear.

The vest 10 includes a vest main body 11, a thermostat 12 (air-filled thermostat) disposed inside the vest main body 11, and a tightening mechanism 13 provided on the vest main body 11. .

The vest body 11 has a front body 14 and a rear body 15. These are comprised, for example with cloth which has moisture permeability and is waterproof. By cutting the fabric into a predesigned shape, the front length 14 and the rear length 15 are constituted, and they are sewn together in the armpit portion 16. An armhole 22 is provided between the front road 14 and the rear road 15. When the angler wears this vest 10, the angler's arm comes out of the armhole 22. The front road 14 has a right front road 17 and a left front road 18, both of which are connected via fasteners 19. Accordingly, the angler 14 can be opened by the angler operating the fastener 19. In addition, the pockets 20 and 21 are provided in the right front road 17 and the left front road 18.

2 is a front view of the vest 10 in a state in which the front road 14 is open. As the thermal insulation device 12, a commercially available air vantage (registered trademark) is employed in this embodiment. This heat insulating apparatus 12 is equipped with the heat insulating sheet member 23 which can store air, and the air supply tube 24. As shown in FIG.

The heat insulating sheet member 23 has two sheets opposingly arranged, and the chamber 25 is formed between them. Although the heat insulating sheet member 23 is comprised from various cloth, the cloth which has moisture permeability and water resistance may be employ | adopted. The chamber 25 is formed in a labyrinth between the two sheets. The air supply tube 24 is connected to the site located above the left front path 18 of the chamber 25. This air supply tube 24 is made of rubber, for example. The angler is breathed into the chamber 25 by blowing the air supply tube 24 into the mouth and the chamber 25 expands. In addition, the air supply tube 24 preferably includes a check valve 26. Thereby, air does not easily escape from the chamber 25, and an angler can intentionally take out air from the chamber 25 quickly by operating the check valve 26. FIG.

This thermostat 12 is being fixed inside the vest main body 11. Specifically, the circumferential edge of the heat insulating sheet member 23 is sewn to the inner circumferential edge of the rear path 15 and the front path 14. In other words, the thermostat 12 is comprised as the lining of the vest main body 11.

3 is an enlarged perspective view of the main portion of the vest 10, and the tightening mechanism 13 is shown in detail. The tightening mechanism 13 has an annular band 27 provided in the armhole 22, a string 28 embedded therein, and a lock member 29 for fixing the string 28.

The annular strip 27 is made of a cloth cut into an elongated strip. This cloth is sewn along the periphery of the armhole 22. Various materials other than cotton and nylon can be employ | adopted for the material which comprises this cloth. In the present embodiment, the annular band 27 has a two-way stretch function. This two-way stretch function is a function that can be stretched in the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction. Specifically, the annular band 27 is provided with a two-way stretch function by the cloth being composed of a predetermined kind of fiber and the fiber being woven in a predetermined manner.

The peripheral portion 30 of the annular band 27 is formed in a bag shape. The string 28 is formed in an annular shape, and is arranged inside this peripheral portion 30. Although the string 28 is comprised by polyester etc., it is preferable that it is comprised from the elastic body (typically rubber | gum string) excellent in elasticity. The annular strip 27 is provided with the drawing hole which communicates with the inside of the said peripheral part 30. As shown in FIG. 3, the string 28 is taken out from the lead-out hole and exposed to the armhole 22 side from the annular band 27.

The lock member 29 is a known structure. The lock member 29 is provided with the main body 31 and the fixing pin 32 which are ordinary. The string 28 penetrates the lock member 29. The fixing pin 32 clamps the string 28 with the main body 31. Specifically, the fixing pin 32 is fitted into the main body 31 so that the main body 31 can be moved in and out, and the through hole is provided in the main body 31 and the fixing pin 32. The string 28 penetrates the through hole. The fixing pin 32 is elastically pressed so that it may protrude from the main body 31 at all times. Therefore, the string 28 which penetrated the lock member 29 is pinched | interposed between the main body 31 and the fixing pin 32, and is fixed by fixed holding force. Further, the locking of the string 28 is released by pushing the fixing pin 32 toward the main body 31 side, and the string 28 can freely penetrate the lock member 29.

In addition, the lock member 29 is attached to the vest main body 11 side. In the present embodiment, the main body 31 is connected to the right front road 17 by a belt 33 made of cloth or the like. When the angler pulls the string 28, the inner diameter of the armhole 22 is reduced by the string 28. That is, the armhole is tightened.

Although the above description is about the tightening mechanism 13 located in the right front path 17 side, the tightening mechanism 13 located in the left front road 18 side is the same structure.

When the angler wears this vest 10, the following effects are obtained. Especially in the winter fishing, an angler wears this vest 10 as a winter ball. At this time, both arms of the angler come out from the armhole 22. As the angler blows on the thermostat 12, the thermostat 12 keeps the angler's body warm.

The angler can tighten the armhole 22 by operating the tightening mechanism 13. When the armhole 22 is tightened, a gap does not occur between the armhole 22 and the angler's arm. Therefore, a wind does not escape between the vest 10 and the body of an angler, and the heat retention function by the thermostat 12 is fully exhibited. As a result, an angler can feel a high wintering effect. Further, the angler can enlarge the inner diameter of the armhole 22 by operating the tightening mechanism 13. This allows the angler to easily take off the vest 10 when necessary.

In the present embodiment, since the string 28 is only fixed to a constant holding force by the lock member 29 as described above, the angler is resistant to the holding force as shown in FIG. ), The lock of the string 28 is automatically released by pulling in the direction of the arrow 34. As a result, the string 28 penetrates the lock member 29 and can easily tighten the armhole 22. In addition, the angler can positively release the lock of the string 28 by pushing the fixing pin 32 of the lock member 29, and can pull the string 28 in the state. Since the annular band 27 is provided in the peripheral part of the armhole 22, when the angler pulls the string 28, this annular band 27 is tightened. Therefore, the fabrics constituting the front roadway 14 and the rear roadway 15 are not strongly folded. That is, the front roadway 14 and the rear roadway 15 are not strongly folded to be damaged. Furthermore, since no gap is formed between the front road 14 and the rear road 15 and the angler's body, the high thermal insulation effect is maintained.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the annular strip | belt 27 is comprised from the cloth of the 2-way stretch type, when the armhole 22 is tightened, the annular strip | belt 27 reliably contacts the angler's arm with a constant force. . Thus, a gap is surely prevented between the angler's arm and the armhole 22, and the high thermal insulation effect is surely maintained.

In addition, the annular strip 27 is stretched and contracted very easily by the two-way stretch type cloth being comprised. Therefore, even when the expansion of the armhole 22 is repeated, the annular band 27 is not easily damaged.

In addition, the inner diameter dimension of the armhole 22 can be set large in advance by providing the annular strip 27 excellent in elasticity. Even if the inner diameter of the armhole 22 is set large, the annular band 27 can be expanded and contracted largely, so that the angler can tighten the armhole 22 to eliminate the gap between the arm and the armhole 22. Therefore, the vest 10 is detachable very easily for the angler, and can move very easily in a worn state.

In particular, since the string 28 is made of an elastic body and excellent in elasticity, when the angler pulls the string 28, the armhole 22 is simply and quickly tightened by the elasticity of the string 28. In addition, when the lock of the string 28 by the lock member 29 is released, there is an advantage that the armhole 22 is enlarged at an instant by the elasticity of the string 28.

In the present embodiment, the tightening mechanism 13 includes an annular band 27, a string 28, and a lock member 29, but the structure of the tightening mechanism 13 is not limited thereto. For example, the fastening mechanism 13 may be comprised by the surface fastener attached to the annular strip 27. In this case, the armhole 22 is tightened by binding the annular band 27 by the surface fastener. In addition, a snap may be employed in place of this surface fastener. In this case, the armhole 22 is tightened by binding the annular band 27 by a snap. In other words, as long as the tightening mechanism 13 is a structure that can bind the annular band 27 to tighten the armhole 22, various other structures can be employed.

In the present invention, when the angler wears the leisure vest, no gap is formed between the angler's arms and the armhole of the vest body, so that the heat retaining function by the air-filled thermal insulation device is sufficiently exhibited. Therefore, an angler can feel a high wintering effect.

The present invention can be applied to a vest worn as a winter ball for fishing and other leisure.
