Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an electrically heated garment whose interlining is composed of a flexible surface heating conductor.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, electric heating clothing has been known in which a heating element such as a nichrome wire is sewn into a covering material, and electricity is supplied to the heating element from a wire to generate heat from the nichrome m or the like.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in conventional clothing, the nichrome wire or the like must be covered and insulated before the nichrome wire or the like is sewn in, which requires time and insulating material. In addition, special sewing techniques are required to fold and sew nichrome wire many times in order to evenly warm the body, and the resulting clothing is bulky and stiff, making it difficult to wear when worn. It made me feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, since the nichrome wire is a metal material, it is difficult to adapt to the behavior of the base fabric, and large deformations are difficult, making it uncomfortable to wear as clothing.

The purpose of the present invention is to be easy to sew without requiring any special insulating material, to avoid unreasonable deformation while wearing it, to be comfortable to wear with no difference from ordinary clothing, and to have a gentle heat dissipation rate. To provide electric heating clothing that heats the wearer's body with high thermal efficiency.

[Means for Solving the Problems] - The configuration of the present invention for achieving the second object will be explained with reference to FIG. 1 corresponding to an embodiment.

2! The electrically heated garment 1 of the invention is a garment in which a outer fabric 2, a lining 3, and an interlining 4 disposed between the outer fabric 2 and the lining 3 are sewn together. The interlining 4 is composed of a flexible surface heating conductor, and has terminals 5, 5 at both ends thereof. Electric heating clothes 1
It has a pocket 7 for storing the power battery 6.

[Function] When power is supplied from the power supply battery 6 to the terminals 5 and 51, surface heat generation and

and is covered by the lining 3, so the wearer's skin I
It generates heat without directly touching +9 and causing the wearer to feel strained. This heat generation is sandwiched between the four interlinings (outer material 2 and lining material 3), so it is difficult to cool down and is gently conducted to the wearer.

Furthermore, since the interlining 4 is a flexible planar body, it is easy to sew, resists excessive deformation during wear, and is no different from ordinary clothing.

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. As shown in Figures 1 to 6, in this example, the electric heating garment
This vest is for fishing, and is made by integrally sewing a moisture-permeable and waterproof outer material 2, a heat-retaining lining material 3, and an interlining material 4. Outer material 2 was made by applying a mixture of water-soluble polyurethane resin and CMC to the surface of a plain-woven high-density fabric made of 160% cotton and yarn count 30/2S, curing it, and then removing water-soluble CMG. It has moisture permeability and waterproof properties. The lining 3 is a 100% annual Amagasa knitted fabric with a yarn count of 1/30S that has been completely shrink-proofed by chlorination treatment.

The interlining 4 is made of a 100% polyester, 120D filament twill weave thin base fabric (150 g/m2) electrolessly plated with nickel. By electroless plating with nickel, the interlining 4 can be made into a conductor that is lightweight and does not leak when energized, and the heat generation temperature can also be set to a desired temperature. The interlining material 4 is inserted between the outer material 2 and the lining material 3 in the back portion of the garment 1 in an "rfAU" shape, and is fixed by threading. Terminals 5.5 are provided at both ends of this interlining 4. The terminal 5 is formed by spreading one end of a separate shield wire 11 to cover the end of the interlining 4, applying conductive silicone adhesive thereon, and crimp the tin foil 12 from both sides in a sandwich-like manner. be done. The interlining 4 reaches a predetermined temperature 5 when energized from a power source battery 6, which will be described later.
The terminals 5 and 5 are formed to have a volume resistivity of 102 to 104 Ωcm so that the temperature is 0 to 60°C.

The other portion of the shield wire 11 is covered with a rubber coating 13, and the other end is connected to a male connector terminal 14. A female connector terminal 15 is fitted into this connector terminal 14, and the shield wire 11 is connected to the power battery 6 by rotating the connector terminal 14,15. Power battery 6 has a capacity of 2.2Ah
, a storage battery with a voltage of 12V, which is stored in a pocket 7 provided inside the front body of the garment 1.

When wearing the electric heating garment 1 having such a configuration, the pocket 7 is
The power supply battery 6 is stored in the. If the connector terminals 14 and 15 are connected to each other when the wearer is located in a cold place, current will flow from the battery 6 through the terminals 5.5, and the interlining 4 will generate heat at a temperature of 50 to 60°C. Because of the presence of the outer fabric 2 and the lining 3, this heat dissipates at a slow rate and heats the wearer's body with high thermal efficiency.

If the outer material 2 or the lining material 3 and the interlining material 4 are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 18 (Fig. 2), and the lower ends of the outer material 2 and the lining material 3 are configured to be openable and closable, when the garment 1 becomes dirty, the interlining material 4 can be removed. 4
It can be removed and washed easily.

Further, in the above example, a fishing vest is shown as an example of electric heating clothing, but the clothing is not limited to the vest, but can also be used for jackets and coats of outdoor traffic safety instructors, security guards, etc. Further, the materials and structures constituting the electric heating garment are not limited to the above examples, and other materials may be used.

In addition, although the above example shows an example of wet coating of polyurethane resin as a moisture-permeable and waterproof outer material, moisture-permeable and waterproof properties may also be imparted by a method using a layered resin film lamination or in the form of an ultra-high-density fabric. good. Furthermore, the heat retaining property of the lining may be imparted by raising or other air-retaining structures and processing.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the interlining made of a flexible surface heating conductor is sewn integrally with the outer material and the lining, so compared to conventional electrically heated clothing, It is easy to sew, and the finished clothing is not bulky and flexible, does not feel uncomfortable compared to regular clothing, is easy to wear, and has a slow heat dissipation rate that heats the wearer's body efficiently. It has great effects.

Furthermore, by electrolessly plating the surface heating conductor with nickel on the synthetic fiber base fabric, a lightweight conductor that does not leak when energized can be obtained, and the temperature can be controlled freely.

Furthermore, if the outer material is made of a moisture-permeable waterproof fabric and the lining is made of a heat-retaining fabric, the garment becomes suitable for cold protection in colder places.
