Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a protector with a shoulder pad that protects a front face of a body of a catcher or a referee.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, in catchers such as baseball and softball, in order to protect the body from a ball that failed to catch, a return ball that bounced and missed by the catcher mitt, an unpredictable ball such as a chip ball, etc. Is equipped with a helmet, a face mask on the face, a protector on the chest from the chest to the lower abdomen, and a safety guard such as legato on the lower leg from the lower thigh to the back of the foot.
In the protector, on the basis of the protector body that can be attached to the torso, with a cushioning protector body that constitutes the front part of the torso from the left and right shoulders around the neck and the chest to the lower abdomen, There are those in which a shoulder pad having cushioning properties is provided on at least one of the left and right shoulders.
As shown in FIG. 6, the protector AA with the shoulder pad has a configuration in which the inner peripheral edge 200 a of the shoulder pad 200 is attached to the shoulder outer peripheral edge 100 a of the protector main body 100 by linear superposition sewing. Things are mainstream.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in this type of protector AA with a shoulder pad, the shoulder pad 200 is continuously provided from the shoulder aa, so that the shoulder follows the shoulder pad 200 moving forward when throwing the ball. When aa moves to the front side together and the movement of the shoulder aa is viewed from the protector main body 100, the shoulder aa is bent and moved forward against the protector main body 100 against the elastic force. It has been pointed out that the reaction force gives a sense of resistance to the shoulder, which causes a slightly uncomfortable feeling on the shoulder during the pitching operation.
Further, the protector AA with a shoulder pad is configured such that the shoulder pad 200 does not interfere with the pitching operation when the shoulder presses the shoulder pad 200 and throws the shoulder pad 200 forward from the shoulder aa. Therefore, even if the pitching operation is finished and the shoulder returns to the original non-throwing state, the shoulder pad 200 does not return directly to the shoulder, or the shoulder pad 200 returns to a return state with a gap between the shoulder and the shoulder pad 200. In some cases, the bent state may remain, and there is a problem of forming an unprotected shoulder pad state.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described actual situation, and its main problem is that it can enable a pitching operation without a sense of incongruity with respect to the shoulder portion, and the movement of the shoulder in the pitching operation. The present invention is to provide a protector with a shoulder pad that can follow the shoulder pad and can smoothly follow the movement of the shoulder pad returning to the original position after the pitching.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a protector with a shoulder pad, wherein at least one of the left and right shoulders of the protector body that protects the left and right shoulders around the neck and the torso front part from the chest to the lower abdomen. A protector with a shoulder pad provided with a shoulder pad, wherein a part of the cushion part of the shoulder pad is superposed on the front surface of the cushion part of the shoulder part, and the cushion part excluding the peripheral part of the shoulder part and the peripheral part of the shoulder pad The overlapping parts with the parts are sewn via a non-linearly sewn sewing part in which the upper and lower intermediate parts are located on the inner side in the left-right direction with respect to the straight line connecting the upper and lower ends of the parts. .
[0006]
According to the above characteristic configuration, the shoulder pad and the shoulder pad are not sewn and the overlapping part of the shoulder part and the shoulder pad is a cushion part. Compared to the conventional protector with a shoulder pad that caused the shoulder to feel uncomfortable due to the movement of the shoulder together with the movement of the shoulder pad because the shoulder part hardly moves together. And the shoulder pad smoothly bends forward with respect to the shoulder, following the movement of the shoulder of the throwing motion, and does not hinder the throwing motion . The overlapping part of the cushion part excluding the peripheral part and the peripheral part of the shoulder pad is a non-linearly sewn part in which the upper and lower intermediate parts are located on the inner side in the left-right direction with respect to the straight line connecting the upper and lower ends thereof. Sewn by As the amount of bending of the shoulder pad increases, a reaction force is formed to return the shoulder pad to its original state without bending, and after the pitching is finished, the shoulder is moved to the original non-throwing position. Following the return movement, the shoulder pad can smoothly return to the original state without bending with respect to the shoulder, so the shoulder pad can always form and hold a state that protects the shoulder, and is reliable. A high protector can be formed.
[0007]
In particular, the characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the sewing portion is formed in a portion where the cushion portion of the shoulder portion and the peripheral portion of the shoulder pad overlap.
[0008]
According to the above characteristic configuration, the crossover portion of the peripheral portion of the shoulder pad and the peripheral portion of the intersecting shoulder portion is not sewn, so that the shoulder pad can easily move with respect to the cushion portion of the shoulder portion, Since the shoulder does not move together with the movement of the shoulder pad, the movement of the shoulder pad can be made light and uncomfortable.
[0009]
According to claim 2 of the present invention, the protector with a shoulder pad is constructed such that the cushion portion of the protector body includes a base cushion body and a reinforcing cushion body formed in a laminated manner at a required location on the front surface thereof. And the shoulder pad is sewn to the overlapping portion of the shoulder portion where only the base cushion body exists.
[0010]
According to the above characteristic configuration, since the shoulder pad is sewn in a superposed state on the base cushion body of the shoulder portion, the shoulder pad can be in a state close to the front surface of the shoulder when the protector body is attached to the trunk portion. At the same time, a thickness obtained by adding the thickness of the cushion portion of the shoulder pad is also formed in the overlapping portion with the shoulder portion, so that a connection state without impairing the protective function for the shoulder can be formed.
[0011]
The characteristic configuration of the protector with a shoulder pad according to claim 3 of the present invention is that the sewn portion is configured to have a curved shape that is displaced outward as it moves downward from the shoulder toward the abdomen. .
[0012]
According to the above characteristic configuration, when the shoulder pad is bent forward with respect to the shoulder portion, a reaction force that opposes the bending can be formed by the sewing portion having a simple sewing form. In addition, the curved sewing form has the advantages of easy sewing and good workability.
