Description

The present invention relates to a blower that lowers body temperature by blowing air into clothes.

If the air is forcibly blown into the clothes and ventilated when the temperature is high, the transpiration of sweat can be promoted and the body temperature can be lowered efficiently.
Conventionally, as an invention for forcibly blowing air into clothes to lower body temperature, there has been an air-conditioning garment provided with a blower at the back of the clothes.
This was developed for work sites without air conditioning equipment.It was made of cloth that does not allow air to pass through, and the air blown into the clothes from the blower attached around the left and right flank of the back body was fed from the neck and cuffs. It was exhausted and was practically sufficient for the purpose of lowering body temperature at work sites without air conditioning equipment.

However, the air-conditioning garment system in which the air blower and the garment are integrated has the following drawbacks.
In terms of dimensions, it is bulky when carrying, wearing, handling and storing.
In terms of price, a dedicated garment including a tool for attaching and detaching the blower body, a hole for blowing, a spacer for securing an air flow path, and the like is required in addition to the blower body for sending air.
Appearance is limited in color and design and may not be appropriate in some workplaces.
Functionally, it has a structure that can be worn on a shirt as a clothing, so it must be worn when used, and must be taken off when not used. The blown air flows over the shirt and is less efficient at lowering body temperature. Since there is a spacer to secure the air flow path and there is a blower in the back body, it is not suitable for desk work sitting on a chair.

In recent years, even indoors with air conditioning facilities, there is a demand for local air-cooling devices such as small fans in offices where the room temperature is set high from the viewpoint of power saving, etc., but shirts with dedicated clothes limited in color and design The air-conditioning garment with a blower and clothes that are worn on top and blown from the back is not suitable in terms of size, price, appearance, and function.

Patent Publication 2006-132040

The problem to be solved is that, for the purpose of blowing air into clothes, the air-conditioning garment does not function only with the blower body, but secures a tool for attaching / detaching the blower body, a hole for blowing, and an air flow path Because it is commercialized as an air-conditioning garment that functions integrally with dedicated clothes equipped with spacers, etc., it is bulky in size, expensive in price, limited in appearance and color, It is necessary to put on and take off each time it is used functionally, and since air flows over the shirt, the efficiency of lowering the body temperature is poor.

The present invention does not require a dedicated garment equipped with a tool for attaching and detaching the blower main body, a hole for blowing, a spacer for securing an air flow path, etc., and functions normally with a blower and is used in an office or the like. By attaching the left and right plackets of the shirt with the two buttons next to each other so that they can be easily attached to and detached from the shirt, and the air temperature can be lowered efficiently by blowing directly to the layer closer to the skin under the shirt. Place the blower and power supply inside the outer shell with a cross-section to fit in the spindle-shaped gap configured in the left-right direction between the two buttons and the left and right plackets that overlap in the front and rear, and remove from the intake side of the blower An air intake duct is arranged to one end of the shell, the front end is opened to the outside of the outer shell, and an exhaust duct is arranged from the exhaust side of the blower to the other end of the outer shell. Open to the outside and fall off the surface of the outer shell As projections for preventing, characterized in that a clip fastened to the shirt.

The in-clothes blower used by inserting into the shirt placket of the present invention does not require a dedicated garment equipped with a tool for attaching and detaching the blower body, a hole for blowing, and a spacer for securing an air flow path. Small, lightweight and inexpensive suitable for wearing, handling, and storage, and does not need to be changed every time it is used. Simply insert the blower in the clothes to be inserted into the garment, hook the clip on the upper button, and it can be easily attached, there is no discomfort in appearance, and the outer shell fits into the spindle-shaped gap between the left and right plackets For this reason, the blown air hardly flows back from between the plackets, passes through the inside of the shirt, promotes sweat transpiration, lowers the body temperature, and is exhausted from the neck and cuffs.
Furthermore, by inserting it between the left and right plackets, the placket swells by the thickness of the outer shell, creating a natural space between the shirt and the body, and blowing air into that space. Even without a spacer or the like, the blown air passes through the inside of the shirt and is exhausted from the collar and cuffs.
At the same time, the air pressure in the shirt rises due to the air blowing, the shirt swells, the other parts of the left and right plackets closely contact each other, and an air flow path is formed between the shirt and the body without a spacer.
Since it blows directly to the layer closer to the skin under the shirt, it can efficiently evaporate sweat and lower body temperature.
Since the blower is inserted in a form that is almost hidden between the left and right plackets of the shirt, it is inconspicuous even if it is attached, and it is attached to the front of the body, so it can be used even with desk work sitting on a chair with a backrest etc. There are advantages.

It is an image figure which mounted | wore the shirt blower between the shirt right and left with the in-clothes blower inserted and used for the shirt placket. It is a perspective view of the internal structure which cut a part of outer shell of the blower in clothes used by inserting in the placket of a shirt.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an internal structure in which a part of the outer shell of one embodiment is cut, and the front and right plackets of the shirt are fastened with two buttons adjacent to each other vertically, so that the two buttons A blower comprising a motor 2 and a fan 3 attached to the motor 2 inside the outer shell 1 having a cross section fitted into a spindle-shaped gap formed between the overlapping left and right props, and a power source 4 for driving the motor 2 A switch 5 for starting and stopping the motor 2, an intake duct 7 leading from the intake side of the fan 3 to the intake port 6 opened to one end of the outer shell 1, and an exhaust side of the fan 3 to the other end of the outer shell 1 By arranging the exhaust duct 9 leading to the opened exhaust port 8, the cross section fitting into the spindle-shaped gap of the outer shell 1 and the direction perpendicular to it, that is, the direction in which this apparatus is inserted into the placket, Forced to the left and right The clip 10 that hooks on the button of the shirt is provided on the upper part of the outer shell 1 as a protrusion for preventing the dropout so as to be swingable by a pin 11, and the movement of the clip end 12 is linked to the switch 5. It has been made.
To hang a clip on a button is to hang the clip between the button and the placket on which the button is sewn.
The drawings are mainly for explaining the principle, and the positions and sizes of the parts are partially exaggerated and omitted.

Regarding the dimensions of the outer shell 1, the pitches of the upper and lower buttons of the shirt into which the apparatus is inserted are generally close in size from Y shirts to casual shirts, but are different in size to deal with clothes having different pitches. The outer shell 1 is provided on the outer shell 1 and provided with an adapter for adjusting the outer shape. The outer shell 1 is divided into upper and lower parts when viewed from the state that the apparatus is mounted on the shirt placket. The upper and lower outer shells engage with each other at the center margin, and the upper and lower widths of the outer shell are adjusted to the button pitch when worn. There are methods such as providing a soft plastic part such as a brush.
The upper shell 1 is provided with a clip 10 that is a protrusion for preventing falling off, and the lower portion is provided with a clip that is fastened to either the left or right, preferably to the front of both sides. It is also possible to use it while suppressing air leakage from the lower part.
Moreover, the front end side of the outer shell 1 is rounded to facilitate insertion into the placket.

The shape of the fan 3 is a sirocco fan in the drawing in order to obtain the thinness and wind pressure that are compatible with the outer shell 1, but it is not limited to the sirocco fan as long as it has a blowing function such as a turbo fan or a propeller fan.

The power supply 4 is assumed to be a battery, but it is not limited to a dry battery as long as it is a power supply, and may be rechargeable, or may be a method of supplying power with a cord from a portable battery box that is not built in the main body but is placed in a pocket or the like. .
If the desk work is assumed, if the cord is supplied by a conversion adapter from USB or 100V of a personal computer, there is no need to replace the battery, the voltage increases, and the air blowing performance and the body temperature cooling function are enhanced. If it is exclusively for an external power supply, the weight is reduced and the feeling of wearing is reduced.
At this time, by adopting a connector system in which the tip can be attached and detached with a magnet, the switch can be easily attached and detached, and there is an advantage that it can be easily detached when standing up unexpectedly.
In that case, dedicated to cord power supply, automatic switching between power supply 4 and cord power supply by attaching / detaching cord, connecting cord, charging power supply 4 while blowing with cord power supply, and switching to power supply 4 when cord is disconnected Various schemes are possible, such as switching.

The switch 5 can be operated manually by putting out a button or toggle on the surface of the outer shell 1, but is automatically activated and deactivated by attaching / detaching to the shirt by linking with the movement of the clip 10. be able to.
Further, by adding a function of controlling the rotation speed of the motor 2 stepwise or continuously, not just an intermittent switch, it is possible to select an air flow rate that matches the air temperature.
Note that the switch 5 also serves as a spring that urges the return force of the clip 10 that is swingably provided.

The clip 10 is a protrusion for preventing the blower from being attached to clothes. The basic method of hanging the button on the button on the shirt is to put the button between the clip 10 and the upper part of the outer shell 1 and attach it to the main body. There is also a method of providing two upward projections on the upper part of the outer shell 1 and sandwiching the button between them. This is a method of sandwiching the button between the upper part of the outer shell 1 and the clip. It is rotated 90 degrees in the direction, but at the same time, one protrusion is provided at the lower part of the outer shell 1 and it is more stable by hitting the lower button. The same.
In addition to buttons, the clip 10 can be applied to a wider range of clothes by attaching the apparatus 10 to the inside of the clothes through the gaps of the clothes, such as fastening the clip 10 to a shirt placket, cuffs, or collar.
In addition, it is possible to prevent falling off by hanging it from the neck strap with a neck strap as a protruding part in the broad sense.When hanging from the neck, in addition to inserting it between plackets, the intake port is on the top and the exhaust port is on the bottom Although it is less efficient than the method of inserting the device between the buttons of the placket, even a shirt without a placket can send air into the shirt from the collar.

As for the usage of this device, when you feel the heat in the state of wearing a shirt with a placket, use the blower in the clothes that is inserted into the placket of the shirt of the present invention between the left and right plackets of the shirt you are wearing. And just by inserting from the side between the two adjacent buttons on the top and bottom and hooking the clip on the top button, the device is fitted and fixed between the left and right plackets of the shirt, and the switch is turned on to start the blower The air sucked from the air inlet opening at one end of the outer shell is blown directly from the exhaust opening opened at the other end of the outer shell inserted into the inside of the shirt to the layer near the skin under the shirt, Sweat is evaporated through the inside of the shirt, removing heat of vaporization from the body, effectively lowering the body temperature, and exhausting from the neck and cuffs.
By inserting this device between the left and right plackets of the shirt, the placket swells due to its thickness, creating a space between the front of the body and the shirt, and there is no air flow inside the shirt even if there is no dedicated spacer etc. A road is secured.
The position on the shirt is easy to understand in Fig. 1 and is written on the chest, but if you wear it around the top of the belt line, the weight will be applied to the belt instead of the neck, and the wearing feeling will be lighter. It is more efficient because the air flow path to the neck and cuffs is longer.
The neck can be easily ventilated, so it is more efficient to keep the button and exhaust from the cuffs.
