Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a face protector such as a kendo face protector used to protect the head, face, neck and the like from a bamboo sword or the like in kendo.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Since ancient times, as shown in FIG. 39, the face protector for kendo used in kendo is located on the front side of the face when worn and is attached to the face 30 and attached to the face 30. A face duvet 31 that covers and protects the head side portion and the like, and a butt 32 that is attached to the lower part of the face metal 30 and protects the neck (throat) when worn.
[0003]
In such a kendo face protector, the face metal 30 for protecting the face is constructed from a metal pedestal 33 formed in a frame shape having a size substantially equal to the contour of the face, and from the center upper part to the lower part of the pedestal 33. And has about 13 to 15 horizontal bars 35 installed in the left-right direction of the pedestal 33 and spaced from each other at a predetermined interval so as to cover the face from the front side. The face is protected by being attached to the face. And in such a face metal 30, since the space | interval of adjacent horizontal metal 35 is formed in the narrow space | interval which does not enter the front-end | tip part of a bamboo sword, it prevents that a bamboo sword etc. contact | abuts directly on a face. This protects the entire face.
[0004]
However, when the face is protected by combining a plurality of metal bars and wires as described above, the distance between adjacent metal bars is set to 10 mm or more in order to ensure the wearer's field of view and air permeability. It is necessary, but in this case, there is a possibility that the tip of the bamboo sword, the sword of the bamboo sword, or the broken piece of the bamboo sword that has broken through the gap may enter and damage the face. In particular, with a bamboo sword made of bamboo, there is a risk that the above problem will occur because it will be torn or broken by the impact.
[0005]
Therefore, the entire face is covered with a large number of horizontal bars of about 13 to 15, but in such a case, it is difficult to secure a sufficient field of view for the wearer, and from the audience of the kendo competition. Many complained that they couldn't see the tense expression of those who were playing.
[0006]
Therefore, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-1119675 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-37279, a face protector for kendo has been proposed in which the entire face is covered with a transparent mask instead of the face metal. In addition, the kendo face protector that covers the entire face with a transparent body without any gaps as described above can prevent the risk of face damage due to bamboo sword fragments, etc. There are advantages such as being easy to understand.
[0007]
However, if the entire face is covered with a transparent mask, a slight ventilation hole will impede ventilation due to intense breathing of the person playing the game, causing the person who is playing the game to have difficulty breathing It can also be a cause. In addition, the spirit (shout) peculiar to kendo is trapped in the mask, and an effective spirit cannot be produced. That said, if the opening rate of the vent hole is large, the possibility of face damage due to breakage of the bamboo sword will increase, and the impact resistance will decrease, so in the case of face hitting or hitting The possibility of the transparent body being destroyed increases when it is directly struck with a bamboo sword or the like, or when the face protectors for kendo collide with each other, and the basic safety as a face metal is impaired.
[0008]
Kendo is not just an athletic sport, it is one of the traditional cultures with a unique style beauty. Therefore, unlike other athletic competition face protectors, it is not enough to demonstrate their function as a protective armor. Unless it inherits the beauty of its style made of gold, it will not be widely accepted by the kendo world, and thus will not contribute to the development of the kendo armor industry. And since the face mask is made of transparent material, the design of the transparent mask described above has lost the style beauty unique to kendo, and the traditional culture of kendo that has been incorporated into conventional kendo face armor. There was also a problem where it was not inherited.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to protect the face of the kendo face protector with improved safety while inheriting the traditional culture of kendo, etc., which has been incorporated into the conventional kendo face protector. It is in providing tools.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the present invention is a pedestal formed in a substantially facial contour shape, a wire erected from the upper center of the pedestal to the lower center of the pedestal, and laid in the left-right direction of the pedestal, and arranged at a predetermined interval from each other. A face metal that is positioned on the front side of the face when worn, a face cushion that is attached to the face metal and covers and protects the top of the head and the head side when worn, and a lower part of the face metal. Attached to the face protector with a butting that protects the neck when worn. Leave the upper and lower bars and side bars In the part of the eye where the wearer ’s line of sight passes Wire and side metal, or side metal Is cut out to form an opening, and a transparent protective body is provided in this opening. This transparent protective body is provided with mounting parts extending to the back side of the face metal at both left and right ends, and the transparent protective body is attached by positioning the mounting part on the inner side from the outer surface of the face cushion. Face protection.
[0011]
And in the face protection device of the present invention, Leave the upper and lower bars and side bars In the part of the eye where the wearer ’s line of sight passes Wire and side metal, or side metal Is cut out to form an opening, and a transparent protective body is provided in this opening. This transparent protective body is provided with mounting parts extending to the back side of the face metal at both left and right ends, and the transparent protective body is attached by positioning the mounting part on the inner side from the outer surface of the face cushion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the entry of the tip of a bamboo sword or debris from the part where the transparent protective body is installed. In kendo, etc., it is possible to maintain the excellent impact strength against hitting such as beating and hitting and inherit the traditional style beauty. The Here, the opening formed in the face metal may be an area where the wearer can sufficiently confirm the opponent of the game or more, but is preferably within the range of the wearer's field of view or slightly larger than that. This makes it possible to secure a wider field of view than the conventional bevel, making it easier to detect the tense facial expressions of the players from the spectators of the kendo competition, and leaving as much of the braid and side metal as possible. Traditional style beauty of face protectors such as face protectors More effectively It can be left.
[0012]
Further, in the present invention, the transparent protective body is formed symmetrically with the longitudinal center line extending in the longitudinal direction as a symmetry axis, and the curvature radius in the lateral direction at the front part of the eye is the same throughout. It is formed so as to become smaller from the center portion to the end portion. As a result, the wearer can see the opponent in a state almost close to the naked eye through this transparent protective body, and the uncomfortable feeling at the time of wearing is eliminated.
[0013]
Furthermore, in the face protection device of the present invention, the face is protected by combining the face metal and the transparent protective body. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the transparent protective body over the entire face, and as a result, when it is struck with a bamboo sword or the like Sufficient breathability can be ensured while ensuring impact strength against collisions during or during training.
[0014]
In such a face protector, there is no particular limitation as to what kind of opening is formed in the face metal, but preferably in front of the eye through which the wearer's line of sight passes in order to secure the wearer's visual field. It may be established in a part, or may be established over a part from the front part of the eye to the nostril. And in order to open an opening part in a face metal in this way, for example, the metal and / or the metal of the opening part from the face metal in which the metal metal and the metal are arranged as in the past are used. Even if it opens so that it may remove, you may open by widening the space | interval of the horizontal metal located in the upper and lower sides of the said opening part. At this time, the strength in the vertical direction of the face metal can be ensured particularly if the opening is opened with the entire wire remaining.
[0015]
On the other hand, in Kendo, a strong force is instantaneously applied to the upper and lower parts of the face metal when it is hit or hit by a bamboo sword, and the upper and lower parts of the face metal are accidentally struck directly. Therefore, at least the upper part and the lower part should be formed on a surface metal with a horizontal bar or a wire left, so that the impact strength is secured. In addition, in the case where horizontal bars and bars are left on the upper and lower parts of the face metal, the atmosphere (balance) of the face protector for kendo is very close to that of the conventional one. It has another effect that it can effectively inherit the traditional style beauty of the face protector. In other words, the face metal can be made of any material, but if it is made of metal metal or metal as in the conventional case, the impact strength is easily secured and the traditional style beauty is effective. Can be inherited.
[0016]
In the face protection device having such a face metal, the transparent protective body may be provided so as to close at least the opening formed in the face metal. For example, only the opening is closed. Even if it is disposed, there is a gap in the surface metal around the opening (for example, when the opening is formed in the front part of the eye, a gap in the horizontal metal above and below it). You may arrange | position so that it may block. Note that the arrangement position relationship between the opening and the transparent protective body that closes the opening with the transparent protective body is, for example, arranged so that the transparent protective body closes the opening inside the horizontal metal and / or the wire. If the transparent protective body is arranged so as to close the opening on the outside of the side metal and / or the wire, the transparent protective body is located between the horizontal metal and / or the wire above and below the opening. The case where it is arrange | positioned so that it may be pinched | interposed into is included. Therefore, in order to accurately position the transparent protective body, an appropriate step or notch or the like may be provided on the metal plate and / or the wire.
[0017]
The transparent protective body used for such a face protection device may be formed with high strength so as not to be destroyed even if directly struck by a bamboo sword or the like. It can consist of a body. Moreover, although you may comprise by a single layer, you may comprise in the laminated structure on which the several transparent body was piled up for the purpose of ensuring higher safety | security. In these cases, the thickness of the transparent protective body is about 1 to 10 mm, preferably about 2 to 6 mm. In addition, when comprising a transparent protective body in a laminated structure, the transparent body of each layer may be formed separately, or may be integrally formed by adhesion | attachment etc. In such a laminated structure, even if the outer transparent body and the other transparent body are separated or not separated, when the outer transparent body is broken, the fragments are transparent on the inner side. Since it is blocked by the body, even if the outer transparent body is broken, the face is not damaged, and safety can be improved. In particular, polycarbonate resin has high hardness and high impact resistance, and although it has an optimum material as a transparent protective body, it has deep scratches, wipes the surface with a solvent, or If it is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it may be destroyed suddenly during use. Thus, it is desirable to have a structure with two or more layers.
[0018]
As the material that can be used for such a transparent body, any material can be used as long as the outside can be visually recognized through the transparent body. In addition to the polycarbonate resin described above, for example, acrylic resin, nylon resin, polyester resin, hard chloride High hardness materials such as transparent resins such as vinyl resin, transparent ABS resin, polymethylpentenesan resin, polyvinyl alcohol resin, and glass such as hard glass can be used, preferably the hardness is Rockwell hardness More than 60 are desirable (ASTM D785 test method, M or R scale).
[0019]
In constructing a transparent protective body having a laminated structure by combining such materials, even if it is composed of high-quality transparent bodies of the same quality, for example, polycarbonate resin bodies, For example, it may be composed of a polycarbonate resin body and a nylon resin body. In particular, when an impact-resistant soft transparent resin is laminated on the outside of a high-hardness transparent body, it is desirable because the impact-resistant soft transparent resin can prevent the surface of the high-hardness transparent body from being damaged. As such an example, a laminate of a soft vinyl chloride resin on the outside of a polycarbonate resin can be mentioned. Examples of the impact-resistant soft transparent resin used for such purposes include nylon elastomer, polyurethane elastomer, nylon resin, ionomer resin, soft vinyl chloride resin, E.I. V. A. Resin, syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene resin, and other elastomer resins such as olefin, styrene, polyester, etc., preferably Izod impact strength (ASTM D256 test method) 50 kg · cm / It is preferable to use an impact-resistant soft transparent resin formed to be cm or more, more preferably 80 kg · cm / cm or more. Moreover, in constructing a transparent protective body having a laminated structure, the thickness of each layer is preferably 50 μm or more. This is because, in general, it is difficult to secure the required strength if the thickness of each layer is too thin, and it becomes difficult to form such as bending and bonding, and even after molding, the surface of the transparent protective body is distorted. This is because it tends to occur.
[0020]
By the way, when a transparent protective body is used to protect the front face as in the present invention, the light from the luminaire may be reflected and the eyes of the witness may be dazzled. As countermeasures, for example, a transparent protective body is attached downward, a surface of any transparent body is subjected to a fine roughening process, and light is irregularly reflected on the roughened surface. What is necessary is just to apply | coat the paint etc. which diffusely reflect light on the surface of a body. Or you may color in the range which does not impair transparency.
[0021]
When multiple transparent bodies are separated and overlapped, especially when a large number of transparent bodies are stacked, transparency as a transparent protective body, that is, ease of viewing, is also possible due to differences in the refractive index of light in each transparent body. May decrease and may lack practicality. As a countermeasure in such a case, a transparent intermediate material may be interposed between the respective layers so that the respective layers are brought into close contact with each other. Intermediate materials used for this purpose include transparent general adhesives, two-part curable epoxy adhesives, or UV curable such as hydroxyethyl acrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, diethyl glycol diacrylate, etc. Acrylic monomer, nylon elastomer, polyurethane elastomer, nylon resin, ionomer resin, soft vinyl chloride resin, EVA resin, syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene resin, and other olefins, styrenes, polyesters Preferred are various elastomer resins such as those based on thin films of soft transparent resins such as butyral. These intermediate materials may be interposed between all the layers or only between any of the layers. In addition, as another countermeasure for improving the transparency, there is a method in which only the front part of the eye is formed in a single layer structure. In such measures, problems caused when the transparent bodies are brought into close contact with each other through the intermediate material, for example, an increase in the lens effect due to the substantial increase in the thickness of the integrally formed transparent body. The ease of viewing can be improved without causing the problem that the image looks distorted unlike the real image or the sense of distance does not match. At this time, the portion other than the anterior eye portion may have a structure in which transparent bodies are separated and laminated, or may be a structure in which they are laminated in close contact with an intermediate material.
[0022]
When using a transparent body made of polycarbonate resin as a transparent protective body, the surface is easily damaged, and the transparency is easily impaired by the solvent contained in the anti-fogging, etc., thus protecting the surface. It is preferable to form such a laminated structure. Specifically, in order to prevent scratches, it is only necessary to attach a scratch-resistant substance to the surface (outer surface) of the transparent body, that is, inorganic materials such as metal oxide, glass, ceramics, etc. UV-curable acrylic monomer types such as silicone resins such as organoalkoxysilane, hydroxyethyl acrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, and melamine, urethane, alkyd Scratch-resistant materials such as organic materials may be attached, or a polycarbonate resin transparent body provided with a scratch-resistant transparent film generally called a hard coat is used. May be. On the other hand, in order to prevent fogging due to exhalation, an antifogging agent may be applied or sprayed on the surface (inner surface) of the transparent body, or an antifogging film may be attached.
[0023]
When superposing a plurality of transparent bodies, the outer shape of each transparent body may be the same or different. For example, the outer layer transparent body may be formed in an outer shape so as to block only the opening, and the inner layer transparent body may be formed in an outer shape extending above and / or below the outer layer. When configured in such a combination of external shapes, increase the coverage of the transparent protective body while increasing the remaining portion of the side metal and the bar to increase the effect of the strength of the face metal and the traditional style beauty It is possible to enhance the effect of preventing facial damage due to the intrusion of bamboo sword fragments and folds. At this time, since a strong impact from a bamboo sword or the like does not directly act on the transparent body of the inner layer, a sufficient effect can be obtained even if it is formed relatively thin. Besides, the transparent protective body is formed in a three-layer structure, and the transparent body of the intermediate layer is formed in a size that can be accommodated in the opening, and is disposed at a position sandwiched between the lateral metal around the opening, The outer layer transparent body is formed so as to overlap the lateral metal around the opening and disposed outside the face metal, and the inner layer transparent body is formed in the same shape as the intermediate layer and disposed inside the surface metal. You may set up. In such a combination, since the outer layer is superimposed on the horizontal metal disposed above and below the opening on the outside of the face metal, the transparent protective body (especially the outer layer) is deformed by a strong impact. Even in such a case, a gap is not generated between the outer layer and the horizontal metal, and a piece of bamboo sword or the like does not enter, and the entry of the bamboo sword or the piece from the opening is surely prevented. Can do.
[0024]
Whether the transparent protective body is a single-layer body or a laminated body, when the transparent protective body is attached to the base metal, the upper and lower ends of the transparent protective body are formed in the base metal. This transparent protective body may be attached to the face metal so as to be superimposed on either or both of the horizontal bars located above and below the base metal. When the force is applied, the lateral metal located inside the peripheral edge of the transparent protective body plays a role of supporting the transparent protective body from the back side, and as a result, the durability of the transparent protective body is improved. Similarly, a face metal in which an opening is formed so that the metal bar of the face metal remains on the face side of the transparent body has the same effect. The support effect becomes higher and more preferable.
[0025]
Further, when the upper and lower end portions of the transparent protective body are overlapped on either or both sides of the horizontal metal positioned above and below the opening of the face metal in this way, they are overlapped on the horizontal metal above and below the surface metal opening. If the upper and lower ends of the transparent protective body protrude by that thickness, the impact when hitting that part increases, so the transparent protective body superimposed on the horizontal metal above and below the face metal opening Transparent protectors protect the horizontal metal above and below the overlapped face metal openings so that the surfaces of the upper and lower ends are substantially flush with the surface of the horizontal metal adjacent to the horizontal metal above and below the overlapped surface metal openings. The thickness of the upper and lower ends of the transparent protective body may be lowered on the back surface (face) side. The effect of protecting with the horizontal metal adjacent to the horizontal metal above and below the face metal opening is exhibited.
[0026]
Then, when the upper and lower ends of the transparent protector are overlapped on either or both sides of the horizontal metal positioned above and below the opening of the surface metal, or when the wire remains, A soft buffer layer is provided on the surface of the horizontal metal located at the top and bottom of the opening, or on the contact area of the transparent protective body where these horizontal metal and metal contact, and this buffer layer hits the transparent protective body. This impact may be alleviated when an impact such as is applied. The buffer layer provided for this purpose may be any material as long as it is softer than the transparent protective body, for example, a soft synthetic resin or rubber, and may be transparent or transparent. It does not have to be.
[0027]
In the transparent protective body formed in a laminated body, the number of transparent bodies to be laminated, that is, the number of laminated layers is not limited to two or three layers, and may be four or more, The layers may be separated or in close contact. The layers may have the same thickness or may have different thicknesses, and the order of arrangement at that time is arbitrary. Further, even if the transparent protective body, and thus each transparent body, is formed into a two-dimensional curved surface shape obtained by bending a flat plate shape in the left-right direction, a silhouette similar to that of the conventional face metal is formed in the opening. It may be formed into a three-dimensional curved surface shape, and these are combined to form a two-dimensional curved surface shape that is bent in the left-right direction of the front part of the face, forming the same silhouette as a conventional face metal on the top and bottom It may be formed in such a three-dimensional curved shape.
[0028]
In this way, when the transparent body is formed into a three-dimensional curved surface shape and has an opening and an outer shape extending above and / or below the opening, the shape of the transparent body is very complicated. End up. Therefore, in such a case, the transparent protective body is formed so as to block only the opening formed in the face metal, and the auxiliary protective body is protruded above and / or below the transparent protective body. In addition, the auxiliary protective body may be disposed so that a part of the auxiliary protective body overlaps the upper edge or the lower edge of the transparent protective body. Thus, by arranging the transparent protective body and the auxiliary protective body in combination, the opening and the whole of the upper and / or lower part thereof can be blocked, and the shape of each transparent body is made while maintaining the same protective effect. Can be simplified, and merits such as cost reduction occur. Note that a part of the auxiliary protective body is overlapped with the upper or lower edge of the transparent protective body even if the transparent protective body is deformed by a strong impact, there is a gap between the transparent protective body and the auxiliary protective body. This is to prevent the breakage of bamboo swords and the like from entering between the transparent protective body and the auxiliary protective body.
[0029]
Now, it is sufficient that such a transparent protective body is fixed to the face protection device so that it does not easily come off due to a strong sword such as a bamboo sword. Since there is an extreme difference between the life cycle of the body, it is better to fix a part or all of them to be exchangeable. As a method of fixing in such a manner as to be replaceable, for example, one or a plurality of ribs may be erected on the base of the face metal in the opening, and the transparent protective body may be fixed detachably on the rib. In addition, as a method of detachably fixing, for example, through holes may be provided in both the left and right ends of the transparent protective body and the rib, and the holes may be fastened with bolts and nuts. Such a fixing method is suitable for a kendo competition because the fixing portion does not come off even if a strong impact is applied to the transparent protective body from the front or side.
[0030]
In addition, an attachment portion may be integrally formed on each of the left and right ends of the transparent protective body, and the attachment portion may be detachably fixed on the outer surface of the face cloth. In such a fixing method, since the transparent protective body can be fixed at the rear side compared with the case of fixing to the rib of the face metal described above, the possibility that the fixing part is directly struck by a bamboo sword or the like is reduced, and the fixing part is reduced. Can prevent damage.
[0031]
In addition, an attachment portion may be integrally formed at each of the left and right ends of the transparent protective body, and the attachment portion may be inserted into the inside of the face cloth and fixed detachably. In such a fixing method, the fixing portion is further covered with the face duvet as compared with the case where the mounting portion described above is fixed on the outer surface of the face duvet, and the fixing portion is directly struck by a bamboo sword or the like. Is completely gone. Moreover, when compared with the above two attachment methods, the ribs and attachment parts are not exposed on the surface of the face protection device, so that the transparent protection body can be fixed while maintaining the same appearance as the conventional face protection device. . In addition, as a method of inserting the attachment portion into the inside of the face comforter, the attachment portion may be simply inserted from between the pedestal and the face comforter. For example, the attachment portion overlaps (corresponds) with the attachment portion. A slit or notch may be formed, and the attachment portion may be inserted into the inside of the face cloth through the slit or notch. In this way, when slits or notches are formed in the pedestal, the deformation of the face cushion due to the thickness of the attachment portion is suppressed compared to the case where the attachment portion is simply inserted between the pedestal and the face comforter. can do. In addition, it is better to form a notch on the inner periphery of the pedestal or to form a slit in the pedestal than to form a notch on the outer periphery of the pedestal. This is because, when the transparent protective body is deformed, it can be suppressed by the pedestal that the left and right end portions of the transparent protective body expand, and as a result, destruction of the transparent protective body (particularly, destruction of the mounting portion and the fixed portion) can be suppressed. Because. In addition, when fixing the attachment part inside the face duvet in this way, the face metal is attached to the front face of the face when wearing so that the attachment part does not directly contact and damage the head inside the face duvet. In order to prevent direct contact, the attachment portion may be fixed between the inner ring and the face cloth attached along the base of the face metal.
[0032]
When fixing between the mounting portion formed on the transparent protective body and the face duvet, there is a method using a velvet type fastener as a particularly suitable method other than the above-described method using bolts and nuts, and a method such as riveting. is there. That is, one velvet fastener is attached to the side surface of the attachment portion on the face duvet side, the other velvet fastener is attached to the side surface of the face duvet where the attachment portion is to be fixed, and the pair of velvet fasteners This is a method of fixing the mounting portion inserted inside. According to the method using the velvet fastener, the fixing means does not cause a sense of incongruity as a protrusion inside the face cloth, and the transparent protective body can be easily attached to and detached from the face metal.
[0033]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described based on examples shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0034]
Example 1
1 to 4 show a kendo face protector according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In these drawings, 1 to 5 are components of a face metal that protects the face by being positioned on the front side of the face at the time of wearing, and 12 is attached to the face metal. A face duvet 13 that covers and protects is attached to the lower part of the face metal, abutment that protects the neck (throat) when worn, 7 is a transparent protective body, and in this embodiment, in particular, An opening 6 having a size ranging from the eyes and the front part of the eye to the nostril is opened, and the transparent protective body 7 is disposed so as to cover only the opening 6 of the face metal.
[0035]
In such a kendo face protector, as shown in detail in FIG. 2, the face metal is composed of a pedestal 1 formed in a substantially face contour shape, and three upper side metal 2 arranged on the upper part of the pedestal 1. An upper wire 3 installed between the center upper part of the base 1 and the three upper metal bars 2, four lower metal bars 4 arranged at the lower part of the base 1, and the center of the base 1 It consists of a lower wire 5 laid between the lower part and the four lower metal bars 4. The face frame part and chin part of the face are made up of an upper metal plate 2 and a lower metal plate 4 (the whole is called “ The upper and lower wires 3 and 5 (sometimes referred to as “wire portions”) are covered and protected. In addition, the space | interval between each horizontal metal 2 and 4 in a horizontal metal part is formed similarly to the conventional face metal.
[0036]
On the other hand, the transparent protective body 7 disposed so as to cover only the opening 6 of the face metal is, as shown in detail in FIG. 3, a single transparent body made of polycarbonate resin having a thickness of 4 mm. The outer shape is formed by bending a flat plate having a substantially rectangular shape along the horizontal bars 2 and 4 in the left-right direction, and between the upper and lower bars 3 and 5 in the vertical direction. Are formed into a three-dimensional curved surface shape that is bent so as to form a continuous curved surface. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the face protector for the kendo of the present embodiment is formed in a curved surface shape in which the face metal and the transparent protective body 7 are integrally formed, and has the same silhouette as that of the conventional kendo face protector. As a result, it is a preferred embodiment.
[0037]
By the way, in this embodiment, in order to mount such a transparent protective body to make a kendo face protector, three through holes 9 are opened in each of the left and right end portions of the transparent protective body 7 and The rib part 8 in which the through-hole 29 was opened in each corresponding site | part of the base 1 of this is erected. And the through-hole 9 of each transparent protector and the through-hole 29 of a rib part are fastened with the volt | bolt and the nut. With such a fixing method, by removing the bolts and nuts, the transparent protective body 7 can be attached and detached from the kendo face protector for replacement.
Further, in the transparent protective body 7 of the present embodiment, a notch 10 is formed between the through holes 9 and 9, thereby ensuring air permeability in the portion where the transparent protective body 7 is disposed. Yes.
[0038]
In the kendo face protector in which the opening 6 is thus opened between the front part of the eye and the nostril, and the transparent protective body 7 is disposed in that part, the upper and lower parts of the face metal are left. It will not be damaged by strong impacts such as or stabs, and the front part of the eye is covered with the transparent protective body 7 without gaps, so that the tip of the bamboo sword or broken pieces may enter and damage the eyeball etc. There is no end to it. Furthermore, even if a strong impact that may deform the transparent protective body 7 is applied from the front or the lateral direction, the transparent protective body 7, particularly its fixed portion, is not damaged. Therefore, high safety is ensured as compared with a conventional kendo face protector whose face is covered with a horizontal bar and a wire.
[0039]
Also, in the kendo face protector formed in this way, the portion through which the eyes and the surrounding line of sight pass is covered only with the transparent protective body 7 when worn, so a wide field of view is secured and the competition is very much Easy to do. In particular, in the case where what is generally called a hard coat is applied to a polycarbonate resin transparent body, the transparent protective body 7 is not easily damaged, and transparency is impaired even if an antifogging agent is applied to the inner surface. There is no end. It is also preferable for the audience because the facial expressions of the competitors can be read. In particular, in the case where the outer surface of the transparent body 7 is subjected to fine surface processing, the eyes of the witness and the audience are not dazzled, and the facial expression can be read reliably.
[0040]
Further, the upper and lower parts of the base metal are formed of a horizontal metal part and a wire part as in the conventional base metal, and the transparent protective body 7 is formed in a silhouette shape integrated with the base metal. Therefore, an atmosphere similar to that of a conventional kendo face protector is created, which is preferable.
[0041]
Finally, the face is protected by a combination of the transparent protective body 7 and the face metal, and the notches 10 are formed at the left and right ends of the transparent protective body 7 so that sufficient air permeability is secured and the transparent protective body is secured. The body 7 does not become cloudy and the spirit (scream) does not remain in the surface, and the opponent can be effectively intimidated as in the conventional case.
[0042]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, you may form the wire 11 so that it may extend from the upper part of the base 1 to a lower part. In the kendo face protector provided with such a wire 11, the strength of the surface metal is improved while ensuring a sufficient field of view, and the transparent protective body 7 can be protected by the wire 11. There are benefits. Further, the wire 11 may be formed so as to be positioned behind the transparent protective body 7 by bending or notching in the opening.
[0043]
Example 2
As shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, the kendo is substantially the same as in the first embodiment except that the method of attaching the transparent protector 7 to the kendo face protector is changed and the shape of each member is changed accordingly. It is a face protector.
[0044]
In the present embodiment, specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the mounting portions 16 divided into three are integrally formed at the left and right ends of the transparent protective body 7, and as shown in FIG. 7. A slit 17 is opened at the base portion corresponding to each mounting portion 16, and as shown in FIG. 9, by inserting each divided mounting portion 16 into the corresponding slit 17, the transparent protective body 7 and the face metal The arrangement positional relationship of is not shifted. Further, in this embodiment, the upper wire 3 is extended downward and the lower wire 5 is extended upward so that the tip portions 13 and 14 are in contact with the inner surface of the transparent protective body 7. Yes. However, the distal end portions 13 and 14 may extend along substantially the inner surface of the transparent protective body 7, and the bars 3 and 5 may be integrally formed linearly. Can be prevented over the entire length, and the deformation of the transparent protective body 7 can be more effectively prevented by the impact, and the strength of the face metal can be further improved, which is more preferable.
[0045]
Further, actually, as shown in FIG. 10 which is a cross-sectional view taken along line aa ′ of FIG. 6, the transparent protective body 7 has an attachment portion 16 inserted between the face cloth 12 and the inner ring 15. The transparent protective body 7 is detachably fixed to the surface protector for kendo by opening through holes in each of the attachment portion 16 and the face cloth 12 and fastening them with bolts and nuts. Here, since the attachment part 16 passes through the slit 17 part at the time of attachment / detachment, in order to enable easy and smooth attachment / detachment, a guide tool corresponding to the shape of the attachment part 16 and the slit 17 (not shown). Z)). In the case of the present embodiment, for example, if it is a rectangular cylindrical plastic guide with a flange, it can be inserted by being inserted into the slit 17, and the effect of protecting the mounting portion 16 and the ease of attachment and detachment can be achieved. It can be improved.
[0046]
In the kendo face protector thus configured, the possibility that the fixed portion 16 of the transparent protective body 7 is located behind the face metal and is struck by a bamboo sword or the like is remarkably reduced. Since the portion 16) is disposed inside the face cloth 12, it is not directly struck, and further, since the mounting portion 16 is fixed through the slit 17 of the base, the transparent protective body 7 is deformed. Even so, both ends of the transparent protector 7 in the left-right direction are fixed and held by the pedestal 1 so that an excessive force does not act on the fixed portion 16, and the destruction of the fixed portion 16 and thus the transparent protector 7 is significantly reduced. be able to. At the same time, bamboo sword damage can be reduced. In addition, since the central portion of the transparent protective body 7 is pressed from the inside by the end portions 13 and 14 of the metal bars, the deformation of the transparent protective body 7 is suppressed, and the mounting portion 16 is broken by the slit 17 of the base. There is no such thing.
[0047]
Further, in the kendo face protector in which the attachment portions 16 are formed at both the left and right ends of the transparent protective body 7 and the attachment portions 16 are disposed inside the face cloth 12, as in the first embodiment. When the transparent protective body 7 is fixed in the face metal, or when the mounting portion 16 is fixed outside the face cloth 12 as shown in FIG. It is possible to create a closer atmosphere than a conventional kendo face protector for kendo, which is preferable. Further, in this embodiment, the slit 17 is formed in the pedestal 1 and the attachment portion 16 is inserted into the inside of the face cloth 12 through the slit 17, so that the upholstery of the face cloth 12 may occur around the pedestal 1. Absent.
[0048]
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the mounting portion 16 is fixed between the face-cloth 12 and the inner ring 15, so that the mounting portion 16 is not exposed to the inside of the kendo face protector, and the mounting portion is not mounted. 16 does not damage the head, and the face rib 8 does not narrow the field of view as in the first embodiment.
[0049]
FIG. 12 shows a modification of the kendo face protector in which the mounting portion 16 is provided on the transparent protective body 7 in order to prevent the face cushion 12 from rising. FIG. 6A shows the pedestal 1 in which a slit 21 into which the entire mounting portion 16 is inserted is formed. FIG. 5B shows a cutout portion on the outer peripheral side corresponding to each of the divided mounting portions 16. 22 is a pedestal in which a notch 23 is formed on the inner peripheral side corresponding to each of the divided mounting portions 16, and FIG. The portion corresponding to the entire portion 16 is a pedestal bent inward, and FIG. 5E is the pedestal 1 where the portion corresponding to each divided mounting portion 16 is bent outward, and FIG. ) Is a pedestal in which a portion corresponding to the attachment portion 16 is twisted by approximately 90 degrees. FIG. 4G shows the base 1 for maintaining the strength of the slit portion by making the base width of the slit forming portion wider than the normal base width.
[0050]
Further, when the slits 17 and 21 and the notches 22 and 23 are formed in the pedestal 1 as described above, the strength of the pedestal 1 is reduced even if the pedestal width is widened, as shown in FIG. In order to compensate for this, the base reinforcing member 24 may be provided so as to overlap with the slit or notch forming portion. Such a reinforcing member 24 is formed integrally with the pedestal 1, so that the reinforcing effect is enhanced. Therefore, when the horizontal metal plates 2 and 4 are fixed to the pedestal 1, they may be caulked together with the pedestal 1.
[0051]
Example 3
As shown in FIG. 14, it is the surface protector for kendo similar to Example 2 except having formed the transparent protective body 7 into the 2 layer structure. Specifically, the transparent protective body 7 in the present embodiment is formed by superposing two high-hardness transparent bodies 7c and 7d made of polycarbonate resin having a thickness of 2 mm, which is formed so as to block only the opening 6. The transparent bodies 7c and 7d are superposed in a state of being separated from each other.
[0052]
Thus, in the kendo face armor using the transparent protective body 7 having the two-layer structure, even if the outer transparent body 7c is destroyed, the fragments can be blocked by the inner transparent body 7d. 7 does not damage the face. Therefore, higher safety than that of the second embodiment is ensured.
[0053]
In addition, since the outer transparent body 7c is separated from the other transparent bodies 7d, even if the outer surface of the transparent protective body 7 is damaged and the transparency is impaired, if only the outer transparent body 7c is replaced, the original is removed. Can be reverted to transparency and is economical.
[0054]
Example 4
As shown in FIG. 15, the face protector for kendo is the same as that of Example 2 except that the transparent protective body 7 is formed in a two-layer structure. Specifically, the transparent protective body 7 in the present embodiment is formed by superposing two high-hardness transparent bodies 7e and 7f made of polycarbonate resin having a thickness of 2 mm formed so as to block only the opening 6. The transparent bodies 7e and 7f are superposed with each other in close contact with each other with an epoxy adhesive in the middle.
[0055]
In this way, when a plurality of transparent bodies 7e and 7f are laminated in close contact, irregular reflection of light and reflection of a lighting fixture are suppressed as compared with the case of Example 3, and the transparency of the transparent protective body 7 is improved. It is very easy to see.
[0056]
Further, since the transparent bodies 7e and 7f are not separated, it is easy to attach the transparent protective body 7 to the kendo face protector.
[0057]
Example 5
As shown in FIG. 16, it is the surface protector for kendos similar to Example 2 except having formed the transparent protective body 7 into the three-layer structure. Specifically, the transparent protective body 7 in the present embodiment is formed in the same shape on the inner surface of a high-hardness transparent body 7h made of polycarbonate resin having a thickness of 3 mm formed so as to block only the opening 6. The impact resistant transparent body 7i made of nylon resin having a thickness of 1 mm is laminated in close contact with the adhesive in the middle, and the thickness of 1 mm formed in the same shape on the outer surface of the high hardness transparent body 7h. 7 g of an impact-resistant soft transparent body made of soft vinyl chloride resin is separated and laminated.
[0058]
Thus, when the soft vinyl chloride resin 7g is detachably laminated on the outside of the polycarbonate resin 7h, the soft vinyl chloride resin 7g can be prevented from being damaged on the surface of the polycarbonate resin 7h. Since this soft vinyl chloride resin 7g is very inexpensive, it is more economical than Example 3.
[0059]
In addition, since the impact-resistant transparent body 7i is adhered and laminated inside the high-hardness transparent body 7h, even if the high-hardness transparent body 7h is destroyed by any chance, the destruction spreads to the entire transparent protective body 7. Can be prevented, and damage to the face can be prevented.
[0060]
Example 6
As shown in FIG. 17, this is a face protector for kendo similar to that of Example 2 except that the transparent protective body is formed in a two-layer structure. Specifically, the transparent protective body 7 in the present embodiment is large enough to block the opening 6 and the upper side thereof inside the transparent body 7j made of polycarbonate resin having a thickness of 3 mm formed to block only the opening 6. The transparent body 7k made of polycarbonate resin and having a thickness of 2 mm is separated and laminated.
[0061]
In addition to the transparent body 7j that closes only the opening 6 as described above, by providing the transparent body 7k that also closes the periphery of the opening 6 (above the opening 6 in this embodiment), the size of the opening 6 can be reduced. Without spreading, the covering range of the transparent protective body 7 can be expanded. As a result, a piece of bamboo sword or the like can enter between the side bars 2 and 4 without impairing the atmosphere as a face protector for kendo. Can be prevented, and the effect of preventing face damage can be improved.
[0062]
Example 7
As shown in FIG. 18, Example 2 is provided except that the transparent protective body 7 is disposed outside the face metal and the transparent protective body 7 is disposed so as to overlap the horizontal metal 2 and 4 around the opening 6. This is the same Kendo mask.
[0063]
Thus, by arranging the periphery of the transparent protective body 7 so as to overlap the horizontal metal 2, 4, the transparent protective body 7 can be prevented from being deformed. A gap is no longer formed between the horizontal bars 2 and 4, and the tip of the bamboo sword does not enter from this gap and damage the face. Therefore, the safety can be further increased.
[0064]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 19A, the transparent body 7p is disposed so as to overlap with the horizontal metals 2 and 4 around the opening 6 as described above, and one transparent body 7q is disposed inside the transparent body 7p. Or, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), the transparent body 7r is arranged so as to overlap the horizontal metal 2 and 4 around the opening 6 in this way, and inside the transparent body 7r. Needless to say, the effect of the present embodiment can be obtained even when a plurality of transparent bodies 7s and 7t are overlapped. In particular, if the combinations shown in the above Examples 3 to 6 are used, these effects can be combined, which is a very good mode.
[0065]
Example 8
As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the transparent protective body 7 is formed in a two-layer structure, and a window hole 27 is formed in one transparent body 7 u so that the front part of the transparent protective body 7 is a single layer. Other than this, the face protector for kendo is substantially the same as in the second embodiment. Specifically, the transparent protective body 7 in the present embodiment has a thickness of 2 mm formed in the same shape inside a transparent body 7 u made of polycarbonate resin having a thickness of 3 mm formed so as to block only the opening 6. A transparent body 7v made of polycarbonate resin is separated and laminated. The outer transparent body 7u is provided with one substantially rectangular window hole 27 in each of the left and right anterior eye portions.
[0066]
Thus, when the window hole 27 is opened in the front part of the eye and the front part of the eye is formed in a single layer, the transparent protective body 7 does not cause light refraction or irregular reflection on the surface of the plurality of transparent bodies 7u, 7v. As a result, transparency is improved and it is easy to see. In addition, since the thickness of the transparent body in front of the eye is as thin as one layer, an intermediate material is provided between the transparent bodies 7u and 7v to integrally form the entire transparent body to prevent light refraction and irregular reflection. In such a case, image distortion due to the lens effect, disturbance in the sense of distance, and the like, which are problems in this case, do not occur.
[0067]
Moreover, since the surface protector for kendo of the present embodiment has a structure in which a plurality of transparent bodies 7u and 7v are separated and stacked, the same effects as those of the third embodiment are obtained.
[0068]
Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, a slit 26 is formed in the mounting portion 16 of the outer transparent body 7u, and the bolt 18 is tightened with the bolt 18 inserted into the slit 26. The outer transparent body 7u is configured to be fixed to the kendo face protector. Therefore, the outer transparent body 7u can be attached / detached only by loosening the bolt 18, and the replacement work of the outer transparent body 7u is very easy. Further, even with such a fixing method, the outer transparent body 7u does not come off or shift.
[0069]
Even if the window hole 27 is opened in the inner transparent body 7x as shown in FIG. 22, the two transparent bodies 7y and 7z are brought into close contact with each other through the ultraviolet curable acrylic monomer as shown in FIG. In the laminated transparent protective body 7, the same effect can be obtained even if one rectangular window hole 27 is formed in the front part of the eye on the inner transparent body 7z.
[0070]
In the case where a window hole is opened in the outer transparent body, the thickness of the transparent body is 0.5 mm or more, preferably 1 mm or more. Thus, even when the transparent protective body 7 is placed on the floor with the transparent protective body 7 facing down, it is possible to prevent the inner transparent body from being damaged. In addition, you may affix a transparent adhesive tape etc. on the outer surface corresponding to the window hole 27 of an inner side transparent body. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the inner transparent body itself from being damaged.
[0071]
Furthermore, even if the transparent protective body 7 has a laminated structure of three or more layers, if the window hole 27 is opened in the front of the eye while leaving only one of the layers, the same effects as the present embodiment can be achieved. it can.
[0072]
Example 9
As shown in FIG. 24, the same as in the second embodiment, except that an upper auxiliary protective body 28a protruding upward from the transparent protective body 7 and a lower auxiliary protective body 28b protruding downward from the transparent protective body 7 are provided. It is the composition. Each of such auxiliary protective bodies 28 is disposed inside the transparent protective body 7 in a state where a part thereof is overlapped with the upper edge portion or the lower edge portion of the transparent protective body 7 and has a thickness of 1 mm. Made of a polycarbonate resin transparent body. In addition, the auxiliary protective body 28 has a mounting portion formed in the same manner as the transparent protective body 7, and is attached to the kendo face protector by fixing the mounting portion together with the mounting portion 16 of the transparent protective body.
[0073]
As described above, when the auxiliary protective body 28 is disposed so as to protrude above or below the transparent protective body 7 and a part of the auxiliary protective body 28 is superimposed on the transparent protective body 7, the opening 6 and its upper and lower sides are arranged. It is possible to close the gap between the horizontal bars 2, 4, and to expand the range of protection of the face by the transparent body, thereby improving safety. In addition, when the protective range is expanded by combining the transparent protective body 7 and the auxiliary protective body 28 as described above, the shape of the transparent body is simpler than when the entire range is covered with a single transparent body. And can be molded easily and inexpensively. Furthermore, since the transparent protective body 7 and the auxiliary protective body 28 are overlapped, even if the transparent protective body 7 is deformed, no gap is formed between them, and the same range can be achieved with one transparent body. Even if it compares with the protective effect at the time of coat | covering, it can make it a fading.
[0074]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 25, when the overlapping part of the auxiliary protective body 28 and the transparent protective body 7 is increased, and the auxiliary protective body 28 and the transparent protective body 7 are overlapped except in the front part of the eye, The layered structure is such that the layer of the transparent protective body 7 is substantially increased by one layer, and the same effect as in the eighth embodiment can be obtained while reinforcing the strength of the transparent protective body 7.
[0075]
In this embodiment, both the upper auxiliary protective body 28a protruding above the transparent protective body 7 and the lower auxiliary protective body 28b protruding below the transparent protective body 7 are provided, but the upper auxiliary protective body 28a is provided. Or it goes without saying that even if only one of the lower auxiliary protectors 28b is provided, the same effect as in the present embodiment is exhibited.
[0076]
Example 10
Further, FIGS. 26 to 31 show a kendo face protector according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the transparent protector 7 is substantially straight in the vertical direction, and the right and left It is curved in the same direction as the curvature of the horizontal bars 2 and 4 (see FIG. 27), and is not a three-dimensional curved surface that also curves in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 18, but a two-dimensional curved surface. Is formed.
[0077]
In the tenth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the transparent protective body 7 is a single layer of polycarbonate resin having a thickness of 4 mm, and the vertical center line L extending in the vertical direction is symmetrical. It is formed symmetrically with respect to the axis, and the radius of curvature in the left-right direction at the front part of the eye is the range (angle θ) of a normal human field of view from the center (position of the longitudinal center line L) to the end, that is, about It is formed so as to decrease sequentially within an angle range of 120 °.
[0078]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 27, the front surface of the transparent protective body 7 is inclined downward. That is, the interval between the base 1 and the transparent protective body 7 is configured to be narrower in the lower part than in the upper part. This is to reflect the light from the luminaire downwards, so that it does not reflect the eyes of the witness even if the competitor's head is slightly upward, and prevents the witness's eyes from dazzling It is. Here, the angle α formed by the transparent protective body 7 with respect to the base 1 is preferably 0 ° <α ≦ 15 °. More preferably, 0 ° <α ≦ 10 °. This is effective if the angle α is greater than 0 °. On the other hand, if the angle α is too large, the beauty of the style is impaired, and the change in the thickness of the transparent protective body 7 with respect to the change in the gaze direction of the athlete is large. This is because there is a risk of distortion. In this way, when the front surface of the transparent protective body 7 is inclined downward, it is possible to prevent light from being reflected by a witness, but on the other hand, the light from the lighting device is placed inside the transparent protective body 7. Incident light may be reflected on the inner surface and dazzle the player's own eyes.
[0079]
Therefore, a configuration in which light from above such as a lighting fixture is shielded by a shielding method such as coloring, sticking paper, or attaching a wire mesh that hardly reflects light, and the reflection of light on the inner surface of the transparent protective body 7 is suppressed. It is good. Here, since the light from the lighting fixture or the like is mainly incident from the upper space formed by the pedestal 1, the horizontal bar 2, and the wire 3, the light from the upper part can be effectively blocked. It is desirable to apply a shielding method. For example, a shielding method can be applied to part or all of the upper portion of the base 1, the horizontal bar 2, and the wire 3. In particular, when attaching a black metal mesh that is difficult to reflect light, for example, by a mounting bracket or a fitting shape, sufficient air permeability can be secured simultaneously with the shielding of light. It is also desirable because it is easy to mold to a curved shape such as 3. Further, the transparent protective body 7 itself may be extended to a position corresponding to the upper part of the pedestal 1, the horizontal bar 2, and the wire 3, and a shielding method may be applied to a part of the upper side of the transparent protective body 7. .
[0080]
Such a shielding method is not limited to the present embodiment, and can also be applied to a face protector according to another embodiment. For example, when the upper transparent protective body 28a as in the ninth embodiment is provided, a shielding method can be applied to the upper transparent protective body 28a. Further, in order to shield light more effectively, the upper transparent protective body 28a is extended or moved to a position corresponding to the upper part of the base 1, the horizontal metal 2 and the wire 3, and the upper transparent protective body A shielding method may be applied to the whole 28a or a part on the upper side. In order to achieve both the air permeability and the light shielding property, unlike the configuration shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, a gap is provided between the upper transparent protective body 28 a and the transparent protective body 7. A shielding method may be applied to the upper transparent protective body 28a.
[0081]
As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the transparent protective body 7 of the tenth embodiment is provided with two attachment portions 16 on one side, and the transparent protective body 7 is attached to the attachment portion 16. One velvet fastener (for example, male velvet fastener 36a) 36 is fixed to the surface of the face duvet 12 that is located inside and in contact with the face duvet 12. As shown in FIG. When the portion 16 is inserted inside the face duvet 12, it is fixed to the other velvet fastener (for example, female velvet fastener 36b) 36 provided on the inside of the face duvet 12, and is detachably and firmly fixed. It has become so. Further, in order to further enhance the fixing effect of the transparent protective body 7, one velvet fastener (for example, male velvet) is provided on both the surface of the transparent protective body 7 that is in contact with the face cloth 12 and the surface of the inner ring 15 that is in contact with the face cloth side. Fasteners 36 a) 36 are fixed, and fixed to the other velvet fastener (for example, female velvet fastener 36 b) 36 provided on both the inner side of the face cloth 12 and the face cloth side of the inner ring 15, and the face cloth 12 and the inner ring 15. It can also be fixed so that the transparent protective body 7 is sandwiched from both sides. Of course, the male and female of the velvet fastener 36 may be reversed.
[0082]
Moreover, as an aspect which positions and fixes the attaching part 16 inside the outer surface of the face cloth 12, other than what fixes the attaching part 16 between the inner surface of the face cloth 12 and the inner ring 15 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the attachment portion 16 may be inserted and fixed inside the face cloth 12 or inside the inner ring 15. That is, as shown in FIG. 30 (a), the transparent protective body 7 may be buried in the face cloth 12 itself, and in this case, it is not necessary to provide a slit or a notch in the face metal base. Further, as shown in FIG. 30B, the transparent protective body 7 may be buried in the inner ring 15 itself. Also in these cases, the transparent protective body 7 is fixed to the face cloth 12 itself or the inner ring 15 itself by the velvet fastener 36 provided on the contact surface, but contacts the one surface of the mounting portion 16 as in FIG. A sufficient fixing effect can be obtained only by providing the velvet fastener 36 on one side of the face cloth 12 or the inner ring 15.
[0083]
Moreover, in this Example 10, as shown in FIG.27 and FIG.31, as for the surface metal comprised by the base 1, the metal bars 3 and 5, and the horizontal metal 2 and 4, the upper metal wire 3 of FIG. Cutouts 3 a and 5 a having a height substantially corresponding to the thickness (4 mm) of the transparent protective body 7 are formed at the lower end and the upper end of the lower wire 5, respectively. The back surface (face) of the gold 2a and the lower metal plate 4a is substantially the same height as the thickness (4 mm) of the transparent protective body 7 than the metal wires 2 and 4 adjacent to the upper and lower metal plates 2a and 4a. When the transparent protector 7 is attached to the face metal, the upper side metal 2a and the lower side metal 2a of the face metal opening 6 where the surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the transparent protector 7 are overlapped are mounted. It is substantially flush with the surface of the gold 4a.
[0084]
FIGS. 32 to 34 show modifications of the transparent protective body 7 of the tenth embodiment, and the transparent protective body 7 of FIG. Over the entire range (about 120 °) and almost the entire angle θ = about 150 °.
[0085]
Moreover, the transparent protective body 7 of FIG. 33 was adhered using a 3 mm polycarbonate resin body on the outside, a 1.5 mm polycarbonate resin body on the inside, and a 0.4 mm butyral resin thin film on the middle. 34 has a three-layer structure in which a 1 mm, 2 mm, and 1 mm polycarbonate resin bodies are in close contact with each other with an EVA resin thin film interposed therebetween. It is what has become. Each of these transparent protective bodies 7 has its corners chamfered to improve the durability of the corners, and each transparent protective body 7 in FIG. 33 has one velvet fanner 36a. 34, the transparent protective body 7 shown in FIG. 34 is positioned between the pair of mounting parts 16 on one side and abuts against the base 1 and attached to the face metal. The transparent protective body 7 is prevented from moving to the face side of the wearer when receiving an impact due to the impact such as.
[0086]
Furthermore, FIG. 35 shows a modification of the face metal of the tenth embodiment, and unlike the case of FIG. 31, the positions of the upper side metal 2a and the lower side metal 4a that define the opening 6 are the upper parts thereof. Designed to be approximately the same height as the horizontal metal 2 and 4 adjacent to the horizontal metal 2a and the lower horizontal metal 4a, when the transparent protective body 7 is attached to the face metal, the upper and lower ends of the transparent protective body 7 The surface of the upper metal plate 2a and the lower metal plate 4a of the face metal opening 6 on which the surfaces of the upper and lower surfaces are overlapped are projected to the surface side by the thickness. Even in such a case, the upper and lower ends of the transparent protective body 7 are supported from the back side by the upper side metal 2a and the lower side metal 4a of the opening 6, and are sufficiently reinforced.
[0087]
Furthermore, although not shown in FIG. 27, FIG. 31, and FIG. 35, a soft buffer layer is provided on the surfaces of the upper side metal 2a and the lower side metal 4a that define the opening 6, or these upper parts. A buffer layer is provided on the back of the upper and lower ends of the transparent protective body 7 with which the surfaces of the horizontal metal 2a and the lower horizontal metal 4a abut, and these buffer layers alleviate the impact caused by the impact of a bamboo sword or the like. The impact resistance of the upper and lower ends can be further improved.
[0088]
Example 11
36 to 38 show a kendo face protector according to an eleventh embodiment of the present invention. The face metal of the kendo face protector is provided between the upper and lower wires 3 and 5. The central wire 51 is formed integrally with the other, and the other configurations are the same as those of the kendo face protector according to the tenth embodiment.
[0089]
The central wire 51 is provided along a vertical center line L extending in the vertical direction of the transparent protective body 7 (see FIG. 36). Further, notches 3a and 5a formed at the lower end of the upper metal 3 and the upper end of the lower metal 5, the upper metal 2a, the lower metal 4a, and the central metal 51 that define the opening 6, respectively. When the transparent protector 7 is attached to the face metal, the upper side metal 2a, the lower side metal 4a and the lower side metal 4a of the face metal opening 6 where the upper and lower ends and the center part of the transparent protector 7 are superposed are overlapped. It is substantially flush with the surface of the central wire 51 (see FIGS. 37 and 37).
[0090]
Thus, the wearer's field of view is increased by providing the central wire 51 formed integrally with the upper and lower wires 3 and 5 of the face metal for the kendo face protector. The strength of the face metal can be further increased without hindering. Furthermore, since the transparent protective body 7 is supported from the back side by the central wire 51 in addition to the upper horizontal metal 2a and the lower horizontal metal 4a of the opening 6, the transparent protective body 7 is further stabilized.
[0091]
