Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to waders. Here, wader means that when you enter the river or the sea and fish,
A type of wetsuit worn for waterproofing and heat retention.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 shows an example of a conventional wader.
This wader 10 is a shoulder portion 1 to be worn on the wearer's shoulder.
2, an upper body part 14 that covers the upper body from the wearer's chest to the waist, a lower body part 16 that covers the lower body from the waist to the shins, and a foot part 18 that covers from the shins to the tip of the feet. . The shoulder portion 12 is integrally formed with the upper body portion 14, the upper body portion 14 and the lower body portion 16 are sewn to each other with a seam allowance 20 as a boundary, and the lower body portion 16 and the foot portion 18 have a seam allowance 22 as a boundary. They are sewn together.

After wearing the wader 10, the wearer further wears rain boots and goes into the river or the sea for fishing. The wader 10 is made of a material having excellent waterproofness and heat retention so that water does not seep into the wader 10 and body heat of the wearer does not escape from the wader 10 to the outside.

[0005]

Generally, when fishing in the water, it is the lower body 16 and the foot 1 that are immersed in the water.
It is 8 and it is rare that the upper body part 14 is submerged in water. Therefore, the wader components 12, 14, 16,
Of the 18, the lower body part 16 and the foot part 18 need to be particularly excellent in heat retention.

[0006] Alternatively, among the human parts covered with the wader 10, the knee is the most frequently bent. For this reason, the strength of the material is particularly required for the portion around the knee of the wearer. Further, since the foot portion 18 is a portion on which the weight of the wearer acts and is the portion that is most in contact with the shoe, the degree of wear is greatest, and the foot portion 18 is also required to have strength of material.

However, the conventional wader 10 shown in FIG. 4 is made of the same kind of material and of uniform thickness. For this reason, if the thickness of the cloth is increased in order to increase the strength of the portion around the knee, the upper body portion 14 that does not need to be thickened is inevitably thickened. Similarly, in order to increase the strength of the foot 18,
If the thickness of the cloth is to be increased, the overall thickness of the wader 10 must be increased, the weight of the wader 10 becomes heavy, and the cloth cannot be used efficiently.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems in conventional waders, and it is possible to increase the strength and the heat retaining property only in the part where the strength and the heat retaining property are required, depending on the necessity. An object of the present invention is to provide a wader that can efficiently use the cloth while preventing the weight of the wader from increasing.

[0009]

In order to achieve this object, the first aspect of the present invention is that claim 1 completely covers the legs of the wearer.
A wader with two legs to keep water out
-The thickness of the fabric that makes up each leg is above and below
The thickness of the dough is changing up and down.
The part of the leg that gradually changes in direction
Then, above the part that covers the foot located at the bottom,
It is characterized by the fact that the folded-back portion facing downward is provided.
Provide a wader to do.

In the wader according to the first aspect, the leg portion is divided into several parts in the vertical direction, and the thickness of the cloth of each part is changed according to the degree of necessity. That is, the fabric of the part that requires high strength is formed thick,
The dough is thinly formed in a portion where not so much strength is required. In this way, by changing the thickness of the dough for each part, the strength and heat retention are secured according to the necessity of each part, and further, the dough can be efficiently used while preventing the weight of the wader from increasing. Can be used for. Also,
Of the parts of the leg of the wader, above the part that covers the foot
Is provided with a folded portion facing downward . As mentioned above
In addition, when fishing, after wearing the wader,
Wear boots and similar shoes over the wader.
Ku. At this time, since the folded-back part faces downward,
The flaps close the gap between the shoe and the wearer's leg.
Gu For this reason, do not submerge your boots in water of such depth.
When entering, even if the water splashes upward, the splashed water will fold back.
Do not enter boots because it is blocked by the ridges. in this way,
The inside of the boots gets wet by providing the folded-back part.
And can be prevented. In addition, this folded part
Is a wader leg as claimed in claim 2.
It can be detachably attached to the part. An example
For example, fold a hook, chuck, hook-and-loop fastener, etc.
It can be attached to both sides of the folded back part. Like this
To attach the reversible part to the legs detachably
If you do not need the folded part, remove it.
And attach it only when necessary.

[0011] When divided into several parts in the leg vertical, or separated at any position is arbitrary, claim 3
As described in, in the legs of the wader,
It is preferable to change the thickness of the cloth at least in the part that contacts the wearer's knee and the part that contacts the shin.

As described above, by changing the thickness of the cloth between the part that hits the knee and the part that hits the shin, the legs of the wader have the legs of the wearer, the part from the knee to the shin, and the part from the shin to the leg. It is divided into three parts. Since these three parts differ most in required strength and heat retention, it is most effective to divide the legs of the wader into these three parts and change the thickness of the cloth.

As a method of changing the thickness of the dough, for example, as described in claim 4 , the lower part is,
Increase the thickness of the dough.

Since the part covering the foot is a part on which the weight of the wearer acts and is a part on which objects of various shapes are stepped, the greatest strength is required. The strength is then required in the area around the knee where knee flexion occurs. The area above the knee does not require much strength. As described above, in the constituent parts of the legs of the wader, the lower part is generally required to have higher strength. Further, when it gets into water, it is cooled from the lower part of the leg, so that the lower part of the wader leg is required to have greater heat retention. Therefore, by increasing the thickness of the cloth toward the lower part of the legs of the wader, it is possible to secure the necessary strength and heat retention in the part that requires strength and heat retention.

Further, as described in claim 5 ,
Not only can the thickness of the fabric be changed for each part of the leg portion, but the type of fabric can be changed for each part.

By changing the type of the fabric in addition to the thickness of the fabric, it is possible to more efficiently ensure the required strength and heat retention.

For example, the part covering the foot, which requires the greatest strength and heat retention, is preferably made of rubber as described in claim 6 .

Is composed of a pair of shoulder-hanging portions 32 to be worn on the wearer's shoulder, a body portion 34 that covers the wearer's chest and crotch, and a leg portion 36 that covers the crotch to the tip of the foot.

Further, the leg portion 36 is continuous with the body portion 34 and extends to the knees, a thigh portion 38, a lower knee portion 40 covering from below the knee to the shin, and from below the shin to the tip of the foot. It is composed of a foot portion 42, a knee rest portion 44 which is spread over the thigh portion 38 and the lower knee portion 40 and is provided in accordance with the position of the wearer's knee.

The material thickness of the thigh 38 is 3.5 m.
m, the thickness of the cloth at the lower knee 40 is 4.5 mm, and the thickness of the cloth at the foot is 5.0 mm.

Generally, the lower part of the leg portion 36 of the wader 30 is required to have higher strength and heat retention property. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the lower part should be thicker. This makes it possible to meet the demand.

Further, the thigh 38, the lower knee 40 and the foot 4
2 are all made of different materials. In the present embodiment, the thighs 38 are made of a nylon woven cloth coated with a waterproof vinyl sheet, and the lower knee 40 is made of a synthetic rubber foam thin sheet having nylon knitted elastic cloth adhered on both sides. The laminate material and the legs 42 are made of foamed rubber such as chloroprene. Further, the knee rest portion 44 is made of a highly elastic material.

In this way, each part 3 which constitutes the leg portion 36
Of the parts 8, 40, 42, the lower part is made of a material having higher heat retention. For this reason, it is possible to meet the actual requirement that the lower the portion, the greater the heat retaining property is required.

FIG. 2 shows the components 38, 40,

In this application example, the folded-back portion 48 is attached to the lower knee 40 at a position directly above the foot portion 42. The folded-back portion 48 faces downward in the state shown in FIG. 3, but can be folded back upward as shown by an arrow 52.

With the folded-back portion 48 folded upward, the wader 30 is worn, and then the boots 50 are worn. Then, by folding back the folding | returning part 48, the folding | returning part 48 plays a role which fills up the clearance gap between the foot part 42 and the boots 50.

For example, when the water enters the water surface lower than the height of the boots 50, the water may jump up and enter the boots 50. By closing the gap between the foot 42 and the boots 50, splashed water can be prevented from entering the boots 50.

The folded portion 48 may be integrally attached by sewing to the lower knee 40, or
It can be detachably attached to the lower knee 40 by using a hook, a chuck, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like.

As described above, according to the wader according to the present embodiment, the leg portion 36 is provided with several parts 3 in the vertical direction.
It is divided into 8, 40, and 42, and the thickness of the cloth of each part is changed according to the necessity. That is, the material of the foot portion 42 that requires high strength is formed thick, the material of the thigh portion 38 that does not require that much strength is formed thin, and the lower knee 40 has a thickness intermediate between the foot portion 42 and the thigh portion 38. Has been formed. In this way, by changing the thickness of the cloth for each part, strength and heat retention can be secured according to the necessity of each part. Moreover, since the fabric of each part is not unnecessarily thickened, the weight of the wader can be prevented from increasing, and
The dough can be used efficiently.

The present embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned aspect, but various modifications can be made. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the leg 36 has three parts 38,
Although divided into 40 and 42, the number of divisions is not limited to three. It is also possible to divide the leg 36 into four or more parts. The number of divisions of the leg portion 36 can be arbitrarily determined as needed.

The position of division is also arbitrary. In the above embodiment, the leg portion 36 is divided into the knee and the bottom of the shin, but it may be divided at other places.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the three portions 38, 40, 42 are formed thicker toward the lower side, but the method of determining the thickness of each portion is limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. is not. For example, the lower knee 40 at the center may be formed thickest and the thigh 38 may be formed thinnest.

Further, in the above embodiment, the portions 38, 40, 42 are all made of different materials. However, the portions 38, 40, 42 are made of the same material, and only the thickness is changed. The strength and heat retention may be changed.

[0038]

As described above, according to the wader according to the present invention, the leg portion is divided into several parts in the vertical direction, and the thickness of the cloth of each part is changed according to the necessity thereof. ing. That is, a part requiring a large strength (for example,
The dough of the lower part) is formed thick, and the part of the part that does not require so much strength (for example, the upper part) is formed thin. In this way, by changing the thickness of the cloth for each part, strength and heat retention can be secured according to the necessity of each part. Moreover, since the fabric of each portion is not unnecessarily thickened, it is possible to prevent the weight of the wader from increasing, and thus the fabric can be used efficiently.
