Description

clothes

The present invention relates to clothes to which a blower device can be attached and detached.

Clothes with detachable blowers are known. In such clothes, the body of the user of the clothes can be cooled by sending the outside air into the clothes by the blower. For example, in the clothes disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2017-150120, the air blower is housed in a pair of left and right pockets provided on the back body.

The above clothes are outerwear. The pockets are arranged on both sides of the rear body of the jacket in the left-right width direction and on the hem. Therefore, the air blower is arranged so as to face the left side surface and the right side surface of the waist of the user. Therefore, the blower may interfere with the movement of the arm.

An object of the present invention is to provide a structure capable of effectively cooling the body of a garment to which a blower device is attachable / detachable, while ensuring the ease of movement of the user.

As one aspect of the present invention, there is provided clothes in which an air blower including at least one fan and at least one motor can be attached and detached. This garment has a dress material. The dress material includes at least a front body that covers a front surface of a user's body when wearing clothes and a back body that covers a back surface of the body. In addition, the outer material has a mounting hole configured so that the blower can be attached and detached. The mounting hole is on the center line in the left-right direction of the front body or the back body. Further, at least a part of the attachment hole is provided at a position which is arranged above the waist of the user when wearing the clothes.

When the garment of this aspect is worn by the user with the air blower attached to the attachment hole, the air blower is placed on the front side or the back side of the user, and the midline (front or back of the body). (Center line in the left-right direction) of (opposite). That is, when viewed from the front side or the rear side, the blower device is arranged on the midline of the user's body. Therefore, in the garment of the present aspect, the blower is less likely to interfere when the user shakes his / her arm left / right as compared to the conventional garment in which the blower faces the regions near the left side surface and the right side surface of the waist. Further, since the blower is arranged above the lumbar region, that is, at a position facing the back or chest (that is, the portion of the body on the back side or front side of the thoracic vertebra), the lumbar region can be used as a fulcrum for forward bending and rearward bending. Less likely to interfere with various movements such as bending and lateral bending. Further, in the above-mentioned conventional clothes, for example, in a motion involving a twisting motion of the body such as a motion of swinging the arm to the left or right, the centrifugal force received by the blower becomes a load on the user. Therefore, in general, it is difficult to say that it is suitable for sports involving vigorous movement. In the garment of this aspect, the blower is arranged at a position closer to the central axis of the body than the conventional garment, which is less susceptible to centrifugal force. Accordingly, the clothes to which the blower device can be attached and detached can be suitably used in a wider range of fields.

Furthermore, it is known that the area along the midline of the front and back of the body is the most sweatable area of the human body. According to the garment of this aspect, the blower can be arranged so as to face the region along the midline through the attachment hole, so that the body of the user can be effectively cooled.

As one aspect of the present invention, there is provided clothes in which an air blower including at least one fan and at least one motor can be attached and detached. This garment has a dress material. The dress material includes at least a front body that covers a front surface of a user's body when wearing clothes and a back body that covers a back surface of the body. In addition, the outer material has a plurality of mounting holes configured so that the blower can be attached and detached. All the plurality of mounting holes are provided on the center line in the left-right direction of the front body or the back body. Further, in this aspect, at least one of the plurality of mounting holes is preferably provided at a position where at least a part of the plurality of mounting holes is arranged above the waist of the user when wearing the clothes.

A plurality of blowers can be attached to and detached from the clothes of this aspect through a plurality of attachment holes. Then, when the clothes are worn by the user with the plurality of blowers attached, all of the plurality of blowers are arranged on the front side or the back side of the user and face the midline (overlap). ). That is, when viewed from the front side or the rear side, all of the plurality of air blowers are arranged on the midline of the user's body. Therefore, in the garment of the present aspect, the blower is less likely to interfere when the user shakes his / her arm left / right, as compared to the conventional garment in which the blower faces the regions near the left side surface and the right side surface of the waist. Further, in the above-mentioned conventional clothes, for example, the centrifugal force received by the blower becomes a load on the user in a motion involving a twisting motion of the body such as a motion of swinging the arm to the left or right. Therefore, in general, it is difficult to say that it is suitable for sports involving vigorous movement. In the garment of this aspect, all of the plurality of air blowers are arranged at positions closer to the central axis of the body than the conventional configuration as described above, which are less susceptible to centrifugal force. As a result, it is possible to suitably use clothes to which a plurality of blowers can be attached and detached in a wider range of fields.

Further, in the above-described conventional garment, the width of the body in the left-right direction is set to be relatively wider than the width of the body in order to secure a space for disposing the blower near the left side surface and the right side surface of the waist. There is a need. Therefore, the clothes easily move with respect to the body. In the garment of this aspect, since the plurality of air blowers are all arranged on the center line in the left-right direction, the width of the body in the left-right direction can be narrower than that of the conventional garment described above. That is, it is possible to fit the clothes to the body. Accordingly, the garment of this aspect can more stably hold the plurality of air blowers when the user moves, and can reduce the load felt by the user.

Further, according to the garment of the present aspect, it is possible to arrange the plurality of air blowers so as to face the region along the midline most likely to sweat in the human body through the plurality of attachment holes. Therefore, the body of the user can be cooled more effectively than in the case where there is only one blower.

The clothes in each of the above-described aspects can be configured as, for example, a sleeveless upper garment that covers only the body, a sleeved upper garment that covers a part of the body and arms, or a so-called coverall in which the upper garment and the lower garment are integrated. .. Further, the garment may be a one-layer structure garment having only a front material, or a multi-layer structure garment having at least a front material and a lining material. Further, the blower attached to and detached from the clothes may include one fan and one motor, or may include a plurality of fans and a plurality of motors. Alternatively, a plurality of fans and one motor may be provided. At least one fan and at least one motor are typically housed in a housing.

In one aspect of the present invention, the mounting hole may be arranged on the back body. In this case, the blower device faces the back of the user. In a garment having a plurality of attachment holes, at least one of the plurality of attachment holes may be arranged on the back body.

According to this aspect, it is possible to attach the blower device to the back side that is less likely to hinder the movement of the user than the front side of the user's body. Further, during work or exercise in a forward leaning posture, the center of gravity of the blower device facing the back portion is likely to be arranged above the center of gravity of the user's body. As a result, the user is less likely to feel the weight of the air blower and it is easier to maintain a stable posture, as compared with the case where the air blower is arranged to face the waist. Further, it is known that the region along the midline on the back side is a region in which it is easier to sweat than on the front side. Therefore, according to this aspect, the body of the user can be cooled more effectively. In this aspect, it is preferable that at least a part of the attachment hole is provided at a position facing (overlapping) the upper half region of the back of the user when wearing the clothes. In this case, the blower can be arranged at a position that is less likely to be affected by various movements of the body.

In one aspect of the present invention, at least a part of the attachment hole may be arranged at a position facing a region between the left and right shoulder blades on the back surface of the user when wearing the clothes. That is, when viewed from the rear side, the blower may be arranged between the left and right shoulder blades of the user. In addition, in a garment having a plurality of attachment holes, at least one of the plurality of attachment holes may be arranged at the above position. The area between the left and right shoulder blades is particularly insensitive to various body movements, including left and right arm movements. Therefore, according to this aspect, the blower attached to the attachment hole at a position facing this area is less likely to interfere with the movement of the user and can be held in a stable state. Further, according to this aspect, since the blower is arranged at a position close to the nape of the neck, which is said to have a high cooling effect on the body in which the user is particularly likely to get a cool feeling, and the heat is full, the cooling effect is further enhanced. be able to.

In one aspect of the present invention, the garment further includes a cover configured to be displaceable between a closed state in which the attachment hole is covered from the outer surface side of the outer material and an open state in which the attachment hole is exposed to the outside of the garment. Good. According to this aspect, by closing the cover when the blower is not attached, it is possible to reduce the possibility of foreign matter entering the inside of the clothing through the attachment hole. Further, it is possible to prevent the attachment hole from being exposed to the outside and impairing the design of the garment. In addition, in this aspect, the cover may be removable from the outer material or may be partially fixed to the outer material as long as it can be displaced between the closed state and the open state.

In one aspect of the present invention, at least a part of the cover may be made of mesh material. According to this aspect, since the outside air can flow into the cover through the mesh fabric, the blower can inhale the air even when the cover is in the closed state, as in the case where the cover is in the open state. You can In addition, even when the cover is closed without the air blower attached, the pumping effect (also called bellows action) allows ventilation between the inside and outside of the clothes through the attachment holes and mesh ground. Become. As a result, the environment inside the clothes when the cover is closed can be improved.

In one aspect of the present invention, the mesh fabric may be provided in a region of the cover that covers the mounting hole when the cover is in the closed state. In this case, since the mesh fabric covers the blower attached to the attachment hole, the blower can efficiently inhale air.

In one aspect of the present invention, the cover may include a first region that covers the mounting hole when the cover is in the closed state, and a second region different from the first region. Then, the second region may have an opening. According to this aspect, since the outside air can flow into the cover through the opening, even when the cover is in the closed state, the blower can perform the intake without any problem, as in the case where the cover is in the opened state. it can. In addition, since the blower attached to the attachment hole is covered by the first region of the cover, it is possible to prevent noise that is likely to occur mainly in the vicinity of the intake port of the blower from leaking to the outside.

In one aspect of the present invention, the cover may include a sound absorbing member. According to this aspect, the noise of the blower can be effectively reduced by the sound absorbing member. The sound absorbing member may be attached to the cover, or part or all of the cover may be made of the sound absorbing member. When the sound absorbing member is attached to the cover or when part of the cover is composed of the sound absorbing member, it is preferable that the sound absorbing member is arranged in a region that covers the mounting hole when the cover is in the closed state. ..

In one aspect of the present invention, the cover, in the closed state, extends in the up-down direction along the center line of the front body or the back body in the left-right direction, and the left end portion and the right end portion are connected to the outer material and closed, and Alternatively, the mounting hole may be configured to be covered with at least the upper end opened. According to this aspect, when the cover is in the closed state when the blower is not attached, the air exhausted into the cover from the attachment hole by the pumping effect can be released from the upper end of the cover by the chimney effect. As a result, the environment inside the clothes when the cover is closed can be improved.

In one aspect of the present invention, the cover may have water retention and air permeability. According to this aspect, the outside air can flow into the cover through the air-permeable cover, so that even when the cover is in the closed state, the blower does not inhale the air as in the case where the cover is in the opened state. It can be performed. In addition, by preliminarily absorbing water in the cover, the outside air that has been cooled can be introduced into the clothes when passing through the cover, and the user's cool feeling can be further enhanced.

In one aspect of the present invention, the garment may further include a lining attached to the inner surface side of the outer material, and an internal space formed between the outer material and the inner material. The internal space may be configured such that the outside air blown by the blower can flow when the blower is attached to the mounting hole. According to this aspect, it is possible to cool the body of the user by causing the outside air sent from the air blower to flow in the internal space. In this aspect, the garment may further include an opening that communicates the internal space with the inside of the garment (also referred to as the space on the body side of the user). In this case, it becomes possible to selectively cool a specific part of the user's body by the outside air that is blown into the internal space by the blower and flows out from the opening.

In one aspect of the present invention, the garment may further include an air blower detachably attached to the attachment hole. Further, in one aspect of the present invention, the garment may further include a battery for supplying electric power to the blower.

The ring member 89 is coaxially attached to the main body 81 by screwing the female screw portion with the male screw portion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 841. The flange portion 893 is provided so as to project radially outward from one end portion of the tubular portion 841 in the axial direction. The outer diameter of the flange portion 893 is set to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the flange portion 845 of the main body portion 81.

Below, we will explain the usage of the jacket 11 and its effects.

For example, when it is desired to cool the body, such as when working in a high temperature environment or when exercising, the user can wear the outerwear 11 with the fan unit 8 attached to the outerwear 11. The procedure for attaching the fan unit 8 to the outer jacket 11 is as follows.

First, the user opens the slide fastener 61 and removes the cover 51 from the back body 21 to expose the mounting hole 211 (open the cover 51), as shown in FIG. The user also removes the ring member 89 of the fan unit 8 from the main body 81. The user inserts the exhaust portion 847 side of the main body portion 81 into the attachment hole 211 of the outer jacket 11 from the outer surface side of the outer material 2. As a result, the fan attachment portion 212 (outer fabric 2) is arranged on the front side of the flange portion 845. Further, the ring member 89 is attached to the main body 81 from the inner surface side of the outer material 2 through the opening 33. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the ring member 89 (cylindrical portion 891) is mounted on the main body until the fan attachment portion 212 (outer material 2) is clamped by the outer flange portion 845 and the inner flange portion 893. The part 81 (cylindrical part 841) is screwed. When the fan unit 8 is attached in this manner, the exhaust part 847 is arranged between the front material 2 and the lining 3 so as to face the lining 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the user connects the cable 91 connected to the fan unit 8 to the cable 961 of the battery holder 96 housed in the pocket 28 or 38 to close the slide fastener 34.

Further, the user can slide the fasteners 32 of the opening 31 corresponding to the neck muscles, the parts from the underarms to the bases of the arms on the back side, and the part of the chest where the external air flowing out from the internal space 4 is desired to be directly applied to be cooled. Open as appropriate.

When the user inputs a drive start instruction via the operation button (not shown) of the battery holder 96, the drive of the fan unit 8 is started. The outside air sent to the internal space 4 by the fan unit 8 swells the lining 3 in the direction away from the outer fabric 2 (that is, the body side of the user) (see FIG. 3). As a result, at least a part of the lining 3 comes into contact with the body of the user to absorb sweat, and the outside air flowing between the outer lining 2 and the lining 3 evaporates the sweat. Efficient heat exchange is performed in the portion of the lining 3 that is in contact with the body, and the user can obtain a cool sensation.

Also, the outside air sent to the internal space 4 flows out from the opening 31 in which the slide fastener 32 is opened, giving the user a cool sensation and effectively cooling the warm body. Further, by ensuring the fluidity of the outside air in the internal space 4, the sweat absorbed in the lining 3 can be effectively evaporated. Furthermore, since the lining 3 is made of a material that allows a certain amount of outside air to pass therethrough, the outside air passing through a region of the lining 3 that is not in close contact with the user's body can promote heat dissipation from the body. Can give the user a cool sensation.

In particular, in the present embodiment, both of the two mounting holes 211 for the fan unit 8 are provided on the center line of the rear body 21 in the left-right direction. Therefore, the two fan units 8 attached to the jacket 11 are also arranged on the center line of the back body 21 and face the midline on the back side of the user (when viewed from behind, on the midline of the user's body). Will be placed in). It is known that the region along the midline, especially the region along the back midline (the region along the spinal column) is the most sweatable region in the human body. In the present embodiment, since the outside air is discharged from the exhaust port 848 of the fan unit 8 toward the area along the midline on the back surface side of the lining 3, particularly efficient heat exchange is performed in this area. , Can cool the user's body effectively. Further, since the fan unit 8 attached to the upper attachment hole 211A is arranged at a position close to the nape of the neck where the user is particularly likely to get a cool sensation and has a high effect of cooling the warm body, cooling is performed. The effect can be further enhanced.

Also, by arranging the fan unit 8 on the center line in the left-right direction of the rear body 21, the fan unit 8 is less likely to interfere with the movement of the arm during work or exercise. Therefore, the jacket 11 is improved in terms of easiness of movement, for example, as compared with the case where the fan unit 8 is arranged in the regions near the left side surface and the right side surface of the waist. In particular, by disposing the mounting hole 211 on the back body 21 (back side) rather than on the front body (front side of the body), the mounting position of the fan unit 8 can be set at a position where it is less likely to hinder the movement of the user. It is set.

Further, when the fan unit 8 is arranged in a region close to the left side surface and the right side surface of the waist, the centrifugal force received by the fan unit 8 in a motion involving twisting of the body such as a motion of swinging the arm to the left or right, for example. Is a load on the user. Therefore, in general, it is difficult to say that it is suitable for sports involving vigorous movement. In the outerwear 11 of the present embodiment, both of the two fan units 8 are arranged at a position closer to the central axis of the user's body, which is less susceptible to centrifugal force. As a result, the outerwear 11 can be suitably used in a wider range of fields including sports involving intense movements.

Particularly, of the two mounting holes 211, the upper mounting hole 211A is arranged between the left and right shoulder blades 105 of the user's back 103 when the outer jacket 11 is worn. Since the human arm moves around the scapula as a fulcrum, the region of the back 103 between the left and right scapulas is unlikely to interfere with the movements of the left and right arms, and is not easily affected by the movements of the left and right arms. It can be said to be an area. Further, this region is not easily affected by various movements (twisting etc.) of the body other than the movements of the left and right arms. Therefore, the fan unit 8 attached to the attachment hole 211A on the upper side is less likely to interfere with the movement of the user, and is held in a more stable state.

Further, the center of gravity of the jacket 11 with the two fan units 8 attached is located higher than that of the clothes with the two fan units 8 attached at positions facing the waist. .. In addition, since the fan unit 8 is arranged in the area facing the spinal column, the fan unit 8 can be used by the user during work or exercise (for example, during cycling or trail running) in which the user leans forward. Easy to place on the back of the. In particular, the fan unit 8 attached to the attachment hole 211 on the upper side is placed on the back, and the center of gravity thereof is likely to be arranged above the center of gravity of the body. Therefore, the user hardly feels the weight of the fan unit 8, and it becomes easy to maintain a stable posture.

Furthermore, for clothes in which two fan units 8 are attached to areas near the left side and right side of the waist, it is necessary to secure a space for arranging the fan units 8 between the clothes and the body at two places on the left and right. Therefore, the width of the body in the left-right direction is set to be relatively wider than the width of the body, and the clothes easily move with respect to the body. On the other hand, in the jacket 11 of the present embodiment, since the two fan units 8 are both arranged on the center line of the rear body 21 in the left-right direction (arranged in the vertical direction), the width of the rear body 21 in the left-right direction is It can be made narrower than the clothes described above. That is, it is possible to realize the outerwear 11 that fits better to the body. As a result, the outer jacket 11 can more stably hold the two fan units 8 when the user moves, and can reduce the load felt by the user.

When the fan unit 8 is attached to the jacket 11 with the cover 51 removed, the intake portion 843 and the flange portion 845 are exposed to the outside through the attachment holes 211 (see FIG. 3). However, as described above, in the present embodiment, the cover region 213 and the housing 84 have the same color, and the part of the outer material 2 other than the cover region 213 has a different color. Therefore, even if the outerwear 11 is worn with the fan unit 8 attached, the fan unit 8 is less noticeable and can have an appearance with excellent design.

On the other hand, when it is not necessary to cool the body by blowing the fan unit 8, the user can wear the jacket 11 with the fan unit 8 removed. In this case, the user opens the slide fastener 34 (see FIG. 2) at the lower end of the lining 3, removes the ring member 89 from the main body 81 through the opening 33, and then inserts the main body into the attachment hole 211. The fan unit 8 may be removed from the outer jacket 11 by pulling out 81 from the outside.

When the fan unit 8 is removed, the mounting hole 211 of the back body 21 is exposed to the outside. Therefore, the user can cover the attachment hole 211 (close the cover 51) by attaching the cover 51 to the back body 21. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that foreign matter will enter the inside of the outer jacket 11 through the attachment holes 211. In addition, it is possible to prevent the attachment hole 211 from being exposed to the outside and impairing the design of the outer jacket 11. In the present embodiment, as described above, the cover 51 has the same color as the outer material 2, so that the cover 51 can be attached to the outer material 2 to provide a more natural appearance.

[Second Embodiment]
Hereinafter, the outerwear 12 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4. The outerwear 12 includes a cover 52 different from the cover 51 (see FIG. 1) of the first embodiment, but other configurations are basically the same as the configuration of the outerwear 11 of the first embodiment. .. In the following, configurations that are the same as those of the above-described embodiments are assigned the same reference numerals to simplify or omit illustration and description, and different configurations will be mainly described. Note that this point also applies to the third and subsequent embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 4, the outerwear 12 of the present embodiment, like the outerwear 11 of the first embodiment, has a dress material 2 having two mounting holes 211 and a lining material 3 attached to the inner surface side of the dress material 2 ( (See FIG. 2). Then, the body of the user is cooled by the outside air sent to the internal space 4 by the fan unit 8 attached to the outer material 2 through the attachment hole 211.

Like the cover 51 of the first embodiment, the cover 52 is formed in a rectangular shape and is attached to the back body 21 via the pair of left and right slide fasteners 61 so as to cover the cover region 213. On the other hand, unlike the cover 51, the cover 52 includes a mesh area 521 made of a mesh material. More specifically, although the cover 52 is formed of the same material as the outer material 2, the cover 52 is provided in the areas facing the two mounting holes 211 when mounted on the rear body 21 (that is, in the closed state). Two openings are provided. Two mesh regions 521 are formed by joining the mesh bases so as to cover these openings. The mesh area 521 is set as an area slightly larger than the mounting hole 211. In addition, the mesh fabric in the present embodiment is a mesh-like woven fabric or knitted fabric having a high porosity, and is a fabric having significantly higher air permeability than the lining 3.

With the above configuration, when the cover 52 is attached to the rear body 21 (closed state) with the fan unit 8 attached to the rear body 21, the intake portion 843 (the intake port) of the fan unit 8 is closed. 844) is covered by the mesh area 521. Therefore, even if the cover 52 is attached to the jacket 12 when the fan 83 is driven, it is possible to prevent the cover 52 from blocking the intake. That is, the outerwear 12 can preferably use the fan unit 8 with the cover 52 removed or with the cover 52 attached. When the cover 52 and the mesh fabric have the same color as the housing 84, the fan unit 8 can be hidden while ensuring the function of the fan unit 8, and a natural appearance can be provided.

Further, as described above, the intake port 844 of the fan unit 8 is generally formed as a gap between a plurality of ribs. In such a case, in order to prevent the foreign matter from entering the housing 84, it is preferable that the rib interval (that is, the size of the intake port 844) be small to some extent. On the other hand, when the distance between the ribs is small, turbulent flow is likely to occur when the outside air flows into the intake port 844, which increases noise. On the other hand, according to the outerwear 12 of the present embodiment, the mesh region 521 of the cover 52 can suppress the entry of foreign matter, so that the degree of freedom in designing the intake portion 843 is increased (for example, the number of ribs is reduced). Is possible. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of turbulence near the intake port 844 and reduce noise.

When the outerwear 12 is worn with the fan unit 8 removed and the cover 52 attached, the outerwear 12 exerts a pumping effect (also referred to as a bellows action) to promote ventilation. be able to. More specifically, the movement of the outerwear 12 that accompanies the movement of the upper body of the user creates a forced flow of air in the interior space 4 to facilitate ventilation through the mounting holes 211 and the mesh area 521. .. As a result, heat dissipation is promoted, and the user can get a cool sensation. As described above, according to the jacket 12 of the present embodiment, a more comfortable environment within clothes can be realized even when the fan unit 8 is not used.

[Third Embodiment]
Hereinafter, the outerwear 13 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The outerwear 13 is a sleeveless upper garment provided with the outer material 2 and the cover 53, and has no lining. The configuration of the outer material 2 of the outerwear 13 is basically the same as that of the outerwear 11 (see FIG. 1) of the first embodiment, and the configuration of the cover 53 is different from that of the cover 51.

As shown in FIG. 5, the cover 53 is formed in a rectangular shape like the cover 51 of the first embodiment, and is provided on the rear body 21 so as to cover the cover area 213 via the pair of left and right slide fasteners 61. It is attached. On the other hand, unlike the cover 51, the cover 53 prevents close contact between the cover 53 and the back body 21 (cover region 213) (in other words, secures a gap between the cover 53 and the back body 21). It has a configured spacer 63. In the present embodiment, a plurality of spacers 63 capable of keeping the cover 53 in an arch shape are attached to the cover 53 so as to be vertically separated from each other. In addition, in the present embodiment, the cover 53 is made of a material having water retention and air permeability.

With the structure of the cover 53 as described above, the fan unit 8 can be suitably used for the outerwear 13 of the present embodiment even when the cover 53 is removed or the cover 53 is attached. Specifically, when the cover 53 is attached to the rear body 21 (closed state) with the fan unit 8 attached to the rear body 21, the intake portion 843 (intake port 844) of the fan unit 8 A gap is formed between the cover 53 (see FIG. 4) and the cover 53. When the fan 83 is driven to rotate, it is formed through a region of the air-permeable cover 53 facing the air intake portion 843, and between the upper and lower ends of the cover 53 and the upper and lower ends of the cover region 213, respectively. The outside air that has flowed into the space between the cover 53 and the cover area 213 through the opened openings 531 and 532 is delivered to the inside of the outer material 2, that is, the space between the user's body and the outer material 2 by the fan unit 8. It As a result, the user can get a cool sensation.

The jacket 13 of this embodiment does not include the lining 3. Therefore, when the fan unit 8 is driven, the outside air is directly delivered from the exhaust port 848 to a region along the spinal column, which is said to be the most sweaty part of the body. As a result, the body of the user can be effectively cooled. Further, the upper mounting hole 211A is located near the neck of the user. Therefore, the fan unit 8 attached to the attachment hole 211A can more quickly supply the outside air to the nape of the neck and enhance the cooling effect.

Further, when the user has made the cover 53 absorb water in advance, the fan unit 8 can supply the cooled outside air to the internal space 4 when passing through the cover 53. Therefore, the cool feeling of the user can be further enhanced.

Further, in the present embodiment, a part of the cover 53 in the closed state faces the intake port 844 of the fan unit 8 attached to the attachment hole 211. Thereby, it is possible to effectively prevent the noise radiated from the intake port 844 from leaking to the outside of the cover 53.

When the outerwear 13 is worn with the fan unit 8 removed and the cover 53 attached, the outerwear 13 can exert a pumping effect (also called a bellows effect) and a chimney effect. More specifically, the movement of the outerwear 13 that accompanies the movement of the upper body of the user creates a forced flow of air between the user's body and the outer material 2, and ventilation via the attachment holes 211 is performed. Facilitate. Then, the air discharged into the space between the cover region 213 and the cover 53 rises in this space and flows out from the opening 531 formed between the upper end of the cover region 213 and the upper end of the cover 53. The heat flow is promoted by such an air flow, and the user can get a cool sensation. As described above, according to the outerwear 13 of the present embodiment, it is possible to realize a more comfortable in-clothes environment even when the fan unit 8 is not used.

Further, for example, when the user rides a motorcycle or bicycle in a forward leaning posture, outside air is taken in through an opening 531 formed between the upper end of the cover region 213 and the upper end of the cover 53, and the inside of the outer jacket 13 is inserted through the attachment hole 211. It is also possible to introduce it in.
[Fourth Embodiment]
Hereinafter, the outerwear 14 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6. Similar to the outerwear 13 of the third embodiment (see FIG. 5), the outerwear 14 includes the outer material 20 and the cover 54, but does not include the lining. However, the configurations of the outer material 20 and the cover 54 of the outerwear 13 are different from those of the outer material 2 and the cover 53 of the outerwear 13.

As shown in FIG. 6, the dress material 20 is configured as a long-sleeve upper garment having a sleeve 25 in addition to the front body 23 (see FIG. 2) and the back body 21. The outer material 20 is made of flame-retardant material. Further, the outer material 20 has only one mounting hole 211 for the fan unit 8. The attachment hole 211 is located on the centerline of the rear body 21 in the left-right direction in a region facing the user's back 103 (see FIG. 1) (a region facing the spine) when the user wears the jacket 14. It is provided. More specifically, the mounting hole 211 is arranged slightly below the mounting hole 211A on the upper side of the outerwear 13 (see FIG. 5), and when the user wears the outerwear 14, the upper end portion of the mounting hole 211 is attached. Of the user's back 103 faces the area between the left and right shoulder blades 105 (see FIG. 1).

With the arrangement of the mounting holes 211 as described above, also in the present embodiment, the fan unit 8 mounted in the mounting holes 211 can be attached to the arm at the time of working or exercising similarly to the jacket 13 having the two mounting holes 211. An outerwear 14 that is easy to move and is hard to interfere with movement is realized. In addition, since the fan unit 8 is not arranged in the area facing the waist 101 in the jacket 14, compared to the jacket 13, the comfort when sitting on a chair or the like, and the ease of movement when bending forward, bending backward, or bending sideways. Has also been improved. Further, like the outerwear 13, the outerwear 14 is realized which is suitable for use in a wider range of fields including sports in which the fan unit 8 is less susceptible to centrifugal force and involves vigorous movement.

Like the cover 53 of the third embodiment, the cover 54 is formed in a rectangular shape and is attached to the back body 21 via the pair of left and right slide fasteners 61 so as to cover the cover area 213. Further, like the cover 53, a plurality of spacers 63 are attached to the cover 54 in order to prevent the cover 54 and the rear body 21 (cover region 213) from coming into close contact with each other. In the present embodiment, the cover 54 is made of sound absorbing and flame-retardant material.

Further, the cover 54 is provided with an opening 545 in a region 544 different from the region 543 that covers the mounting hole 211 when the cover 54 is mounted on the back body 21. In addition, in the present embodiment, the openings 545 are configured as elongated holes extending in the left-right direction, and three openings 545 are provided above and below the region 543 facing the mounting hole 211.

With the configuration of the cover 54 as described above, the fan unit 8 can be suitably used for the outerwear 14 of the present embodiment even when the cover 54 is removed or the cover 54 is attached. Specifically, when the cover 54 is attached to the rear body 21 (closed state) with the fan unit 8 attached to the rear body 21, the intake portion 843 (intake port 844) of the fan unit 8 is attached. A gap is formed between the cover 53 and the cover 53. When the fan 83 is driven to rotate, the cover 53 and the cover area 213 are opened from the opening 545 and the openings 541 and 542 formed between the upper and lower ends of the cover 54 and the upper and lower ends of the cover area 213, respectively. The outside air that has flowed into the space between is sent out to the space inside the dress material 2 by the fan unit 8. As a result, the user can obtain a cool feeling.

Further, in the present embodiment, an opening 545 for allowing the outside air supplied to the fan unit 8 to flow in is provided at a position (in the area 544) that is out of the area 543 facing the mounting hole 211. Therefore, when the fan unit 8 is attached to the attachment hole 211, the intake port 844 is covered by a part of the cover 54 (region 543). Thereby, it is possible to suppress the noise radiated from the intake port 844 from leaking to the outside of the cover 54. Further, since the cover 54 itself is made of a sound absorbing material, the noise can be reduced more effectively. Furthermore, since the outer jacket 14 can cover the attachment hole 211 with the flame-retardant cover 54, it can be suitably used when working in a place where there is fire.

Furthermore, when the outerwear 14 is worn with the fan unit 8 removed and the cover 53 attached, the outerwear 14 is similar to the outerwear 13 of the third embodiment in that it has a pumping effect (bellow action). (Also called) and a chimney effect can be exhibited. In the outerwear 14, the air released into the space between the cover region 213 and the cover 54 is discharged through the opening 545 and the opening 541 formed between the upper end of the cover region 213 and the upper end of the cover 54. leak.

Correspondence between each component of the above-described embodiment and modification and each component of the present invention is shown below. Each of the outerwear 11 to 14 is an example of the “garment” of the present invention. The fan unit 8, the fan 83, and the motor 82 are examples of the “blower”, the “fan”, and the “motor” in the present invention, respectively.

In the cover 54, the region 543 facing the mounting hole 211, the region 544 other than the region 543, and the opening 545 are examples of the “first region”, the “second region”, and the “opening” in the present invention, respectively. The cover 54 (sound absorbing material) is an example of the “sound absorbing member” in the present invention. The lining 3 and the internal space 4 are examples of the “lining” and the “internal space” in the present invention, respectively.

The above embodiment is merely an example, and the garment according to the present invention is not limited to the illustrated configurations of the outerwear 11 to 14. For example, a part of the configuration of any of the outerwear 11 to 14 may be replaced with any other configuration of the outerwear 11 to 14. Further, for example, the modifications exemplified below can be added. It should be noted that any one of these changes or a plurality of these changes may be adopted in combination with each of the outerwear 11 to 14 shown in the embodiment or in combination with the invention described in each claim.

The garment according to the present invention does not necessarily have to be a front-opening upper garment like the outer garments 11 to 14, and is suitable as, for example, a cover-type upper garment, a hooded upper garment, or a so-called coverall in which the upper garment and the pants are connected. Can be realized. The use of clothes is not particularly limited, and may be realized as work clothes, sportswear, leisure wear, firefighting clothes, protective clothes, surgical clothes, and the like. Further, the materials of the outer fabrics 2, 20, the lining 3, and the covers 51 to 54 are not limited to those exemplified in the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate.

The number of mounting holes 211 is not limited to 1 or 2 illustrated in the above embodiment. That is, three or more mounting holes 211 may be provided. Further, the arrangement position of the mounting hole 211 can be changed appropriately. For example, when the front body is not divided into left and right, the mounting hole 211 is on the center line of the front body 23 in the left-right direction (that is, the region of the front body 23 that faces the midline of the body of the user). May be provided in. For example, one mounting hole 211 may be provided in the area facing the dovetail. In this case, at least a part of the attachment hole 211 is arranged so as to face a region above the lumbar region 101 (a region around the lumbar vertebra) (that is, the chest region). Further, at least one attachment hole 211 may be provided in each of the back body 21 and the front body 23.

In the fan unit 8 exemplified in the above embodiment, the motor 82 and the fan 83 are housed in the housing 84 one by one. However, a fan unit in which a plurality of sets of motors and fans (for example, two sets) are housed in the housing may be adopted. Alternatively, a fan unit in which one motor and a plurality of fans driven by the motor are housed may be housed in the housing. In such a case, the configuration (for example, size and shape) of the mounting hole 211 can be appropriately changed according to the configuration of the fan unit (housing) used. In addition, it is preferable that the fan unit can be attached to the attachment hole corresponding to the fan unit including the plurality of fans so that the plurality of fans are arranged in the vertical direction.

Also, the method of attaching the fan unit 8 to the outer materials 2 and 20 is not limited to the example of the above embodiment. For example, one of the housing 84 (cylindrical portion 841) and the ring member 89 may be provided with a flexible locking piece, and the other may be provided with a recess in which the locking piece can be locked. In this case, the ring member 89 is fitted into the housing 84 in the direction of the rotation axis A1 and the locking piece is locked in the recess, whereby the mounting is completed. Alternatively, an L-shaped guide groove may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 84 (cylindrical portion 841), and a protrusion engageable with the guide groove may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the ring member 89. In this case, the ring member 89 is fitted into the housing 84 in the direction of the rotation axis A1 in the state where the protrusion is arranged in the guide groove, and further rotated in the circumferential direction, whereby the attachment is completed.

Further, in the first to third embodiments, an example in which a plurality of mounting holes 211 having the same configuration are provided is given, but a plurality of mounting holes having different diameters may be provided. That is, the fan units attached to the clothes may have different sizes (typically, the diameter of the cylindrical portion of the housing). In a conventional garment in which the fan units are arranged so as to face areas near the left side surface and the right side surface of the user's waist 101, it is difficult to move when the center of gravity is biased to the left or right. Has been adopted. On the other hand, when the plurality of fan units are arranged so as to face the midline of the user, the center of gravity of the clothes does not deviate to the left or right even if the fan units have different weights. Therefore, for example, the fan unit attached to the upper side may be made larger and the fan unit attached to the lower side may be made smaller.
