  Since ancient times, as shown in FIG. 10, a face protector used for kendo or the like is attached to the face metal 100 which is located on the front side of the face when worn and protects the face. A contestant that consists of a bedding 101 that covers and protects the sides, etc., and a butting 102 that is attached to the lower part of the face metal 100 and protects the neck (throat) when worn, and that plays a game such as kendo Or a person who performs training (hereinafter referred to as “wearer”) wears it to protect its head.

  In such a kendo face protector, the face metal 100 for protecting the face is constructed from a metal pedestal 103 formed in a frame shape having a size substantially equal to the outline of the face, and from the center upper part to the lower part of the pedestal 103. The braid 104 is composed of 13 to 15 horizontal bars 105 installed in the left-right direction of the pedestal 103 and spaced apart from each other, and the wearer's face is viewed from the front side. It is something to protect. Thus, when a face is protected by combining a plurality of metal bars and wires, it is necessary to form an interval between adjacent metal bars of 10 mm or more in order to ensure the wearer's field of view and air permeability. is there. However, in this case, there is a possibility that the tip of the bamboo sword or the sword of the bamboo sword that was broken from the gap, or a broken piece of the bamboo sword may enter and damage the face. In a bamboo sword made of bamboo, there is a risk that the above problem will occur because it is torn or broken by the impact.

  In order to solve this problem, the inventions disclosed in JP-A-9-103531, JP-A-9-108395, JP-A-11-128434, and JP-A-2000-288150 have been made, and their safety is highly evaluated. It has already been released with the official recognition of the Japan Kendo Federation. As shown in FIG. 11, the surface protector for kendo disclosed in these inventions is a wearer in the surface protector 10 for a kendo protector composed of a conventional surface protector 10, a face cushion 16 and an abutment 17 as shown in FIG. A transparent protective body 20 is attached to an opening 14 formed by cutting out several horizontal bars 12 in the front part of the eye through which the line of sight passes. Since this transparent protective body 20 can prevent the tip of the bamboo sword, the swords of the bamboo sword, or the shards of the bamboo sword from entering and damaging the face without reducing the wearer's field of view, ensuring high safety. Can do. In addition, since the transparent protective body 20 is attached to the face metal 10 while leaving the bar and a plurality of horizontal bars, the air permeability is not impaired, and the transparent protective body 20 is hardly clouded. Further, the shout (feeling) passes through without reverberating in the mask, and it is possible to reduce a sense of discomfort with the conventional kendo face protector.

  However, the transparent protective body 20 has a feature that the face can be seen while it is transparent because the horizontal metal that has been in the line of sight has been removed. In addition to the disagreement, such as `` become disadvantaged by reading facial expressions '', `` I hate seeing the face '', `` embarrassed '' In addition, there is a problem that anxiety that the face is not protected because the horizontal metal that has been in the line of sight of the wearer is removed.

  The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to improve traditional culture such as kendo, which is embodied in a conventional face protector when the present invention is used as a face protector such as kendo. An object of the present invention is to provide a kendo face protector that improves safety and eliminates a sense of discomfort and anxiety of the wearer while inheriting.

To achieve the above object, kendo surfaces armor of the present invention, pedestal, Sujigane from a central top is laid over the lower part of the pedestal, and is spanned at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction of the seat A face metal that has a plurality of horizontal bars and is located on the front face of the face when worn and protects the face; a face futon that is attached to the face metal and covers and protects the top and side of the head when worn; Attach to the lower part of the gold and protect the neck part when wearing, and cut out a part of the horizontal metal or part of the wire and horizontal metal in the front part where the wearer's line of sight passes through the face metal A kendo face protector equipped with a transparent protective body that is attached to the formed opening and protects the periphery of the eye when worn, wherein the transparent protective body includes a part of a notched horizontal metal or a wire and A face metal pattern that roughly imitates a part of the side metal is provided. It is characterized in.

  In this invention, what is necessary is just to form the opening part to which a transparent protector is attached in the front part of an eye through which a wearer's eyes | visual_axis passes in face metal as above-mentioned. However, since a strong force is instantaneously applied to the upper and lower parts of the face metal when subjected to beating or hitting with a bamboo sword, it is preferable that the wire or the horizontal metal remains at least in the upper or lower part. It is good to form like this.

  The transparent protective body only needs to be disposed so as to block at least the opening, and even if disposed so as to block only the opening, the transparent protective body is disposed so as to block the opening and its periphery. May be. Moreover, it is preferable to attach the said transparent armor to the surface protector for kendos so that attachment or detachment is possible. As the method, for example, a coupling means such as a velvet fastener can be used. As a result, when the transparent protective body is damaged or the surface thereof is damaged, the transparent protective body can be replaced.

  When the transparent protective body is composed of a single transparent body, both high hardness and impact resistance are required. Preferably, it is formed of a material having both properties of hardness and impact resistance, and its Rockwell hardness (ASTM D785 test method, M or R scale) is 60 or more, and Izod impact strength (ASTM D256). The test method) should be 50 kg · cm / cm or more, more preferably 80 kg · cm / cm or more.

  Further, when the transparent protective body is formed of two or more transparent bodies, each transparent body may have a desired hardness and impact resistance, for example, a high-hardness transparent body, It is preferable to construct a combination with an impact-resistant transparent body and to superimpose them to form a laminated structure. The Rockwell hardness of the high hardness transparent body and the Izod impact strength of the impact resistant transparent body preferably satisfy the above values. As long as the transparent protective body has the necessary hardness and impact resistance, the number of the transparent bodies constituting the laminated structure and the combination of materials can be determined as appropriate. Moreover, as for the said laminated structure, it is desirable to arrange | position the thing with the most impact resistance among the said transparent bodies which comprise this laminated structure in the inner layer nearest to a wearer's face. By adopting such a laminated structure, when a large impact is concentrated on the transparent protective body, it is possible to prevent the transparent protective body from being destroyed at once and protect the face. The laminated structure formed by the two or more transparent bodies may be bonded to each other by interposing a relatively soft and transparent adhesive film between the transparent bodies and thermocompression bonding. Moreover, as long as they are maintained in a laminated state by some means, they are not necessarily fixed to each other.

  Furthermore, the material of the high hardness transparent body forming the transparent protective body is transparent such as polycarbonate resin, acrylic resin, nylon resin, polyester resin, hard vinyl chloride resin, transparent ABS resin, polymethylpentene resin, polyvinyl alcohol resin, etc. It is preferable to apply resin or glass such as hard glass. As for the material of the impact resistant transparent body, nylon elastomer, polyurethane elastomer, nylon resin, ionomer resin, soft vinyl chloride resin, E.I. V. A. Resins having excellent flexibility such as olefin-based, styrene-based, and polyester-based elastomer resins may be applied, including resin, syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene resin, and the like. And if necessary, it is good to laminate | stack a solvent-resistant transparent body, a scratch-resistant transparent body, etc. on the surface of this transparent protective body, or to give an anti-glare process.

  In the present invention, the transparent protective body is provided with a face metal pattern imitating a part of a horizontal metal cut out to form an opening of the metal face, or a part of a wire and a horizontal metal, Not only the metal and / or the wire corresponding to the notch of the face metal opening, but also the metal and the part of the metal corresponding to the surface metal where only a part of the metal is cut, for example. The shape, width, interval, etc. can be arbitrarily set. When the transparent protective body is formed of a single transparent body, the face metal pattern is formed on any surface of the transparent body forming the transparent protective body, such as silk screen printing, painting, or aluminum vapor deposition. It can be formed by any means.

  With respect to the surface provided with the face metal pattern, in order to prevent the bamboo sword from directly touching the surface metal pattern, the wearer wears the face protector on the face side of the face of the transparent protective body, that is, the inner side. It is preferable to provide it on the side surface.

  The face metal pattern may be printed using general inks such as epoxy, urethane, and acrylic. In addition, this printing may be transparent, but the purpose of providing the face metal pattern is to imitate a part of the notched lateral metal or part of the notched wire and lateral metal. It is preferably opaque. Then, it is preferable that the face metal-patterned horizontal metal is printed in accordance with the width and the interval of the horizontal metal not cut out, and the wire is printed in accordance with the position of the metal not cut out. Furthermore, although the color tone of printing is arbitrary, a metal color is preferable in the sense of imitating a horizontal bar or a wire, and a color similar to aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium alloy is more preferable.

  Conventionally, since the face metal of the face protector for kendo is usually painted red on the face side, that is, the back surface, the face metal pattern is printed on the back side in red. Is preferred. In other words, the front side may be printed in a color resembling aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium alloy, and the back side may be overlaid with red printing, and the back side color may be arbitrarily set to a color other than red. It is also possible to set.

  Even when the face metal pattern is provided by means such as silk screen printing, painting, or aluminum vapor deposition, the surface side is printed with a color resembling aluminum, stainless steel or titanium alloy, and the back side is overlaid with red printing. It is good to apply. The color on the back side can be arbitrarily set to a color tone other than red.

  Next, when the transparent protective body is formed of a laminated structure of two or more layers, any means such as printing, silk screen printing, painting, or aluminum vapor deposition is performed as in the case of the single layer body. It is possible to select and set the face metal pattern. As in the case of the single layer body, the face metal pattern is preferably a color resembling a metal, and is preferably applied to any surface where the bamboo sword does not directly touch the surface side of the transparent protective body. And as for the color of the back surface side, it is possible to arbitrarily set a red color or other color tone. The surface on which the color on the back surface side is applied can be superimposed on the back surface of the printing of the face metal pattern or a surface of a transparent body different from the surface of the transparent body on which the printing has been performed can be arbitrarily selected and applied. Moreover, it is good to give the color of the said back surface side according to the shape of the said face metal pattern.

  In the present invention, when a face protection pattern is provided on a transparent protective body made of two or more transparent bodies stacked on each other, a cut metal plate, a metal bar and a metal plate are cut out from a thin plate material of an arbitrary material. By punching out or cutting out a face metal pattern having a shape corresponding to the shape of the sheet, sandwiching the face metal pattern thin plate between any two or more of the laminated transparent bodies, and fixing by appropriate means It can also be provided.

  Thin plate materials include aluminum foil, copper, brass, stainless steel foil, polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter PET), polyethylene, EVA, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS, polycarbonate, acrylic, polyester, nylon, vinyl chloride, polymethyl. A thin plate of a thermoplastic resin such as pentenesan, polyvinyl alcohol, or cellulose, a thin plate of a thermosetting resin such as melamine, epoxy, or thermosetting polyester, and a resin-impregnated cured plate, thin paper, or the like can be used.

  The sheet material may be transparent, but the purpose of providing the face metal pattern on the transparent protective body is to imitate a part of the cut notch or a part of the notched bar and the notch. For this reason, it is preferably opaque and the surface side is preferably a metallic color. This metal color may be coloring of the material itself, but may be colored by means such as painting, printing, or aluminum vapor deposition. Moreover, it is preferable to apply red-colored coating and printing on the face side, that is, the back side of the sheet metal pattern-shaped thin plate material.

  The thickness of the thin plate is basically arbitrary, but if it is too thin, the workability of die cutting or cutting will be difficult, and if it is too thick, the thickness of the entire transparent protective body will be too thick, and the transparency Cause problems such as distortion. Therefore, the thickness of the thin plate is preferably in the range of 20 μm to 1000 μm, and preferably about 100 to 200 μm.

  The thin plate material may be a laminate of thin plates. The means for laminating may be normal means such as adhesion, adhesion, or welding, and the materials to be laminated may be homogeneous materials or heterogeneous materials, and the number of laminated layers may be arbitrarily set as necessary. it can. In particular, when the workability such as die cutting and cutting is extremely poor in forming the face metal pattern because the thin plate is too thin, the workability can be improved by laminating the thin plate, There is an advantage that it is easy to change the color tone of the front and back of the gold pattern. Accordingly, the thin plate on the outside side when mounted on the face can be made into a color tone similar to metal, and the color tone of the thin plate on the face side can be made red, improving the workability of the thin plate while improving the workability of the thin plate. The same tone and composition as the face plate of the kendo face protector.

  The thin plate laminate may be a thin plate laminate having different thermal shrinkage rates. In this case, the heat shrinkage rate decreases from the wearer's face side to the outside, that is, the thin plate on the outside side is made of a material having a small heat shrinkage rate, and the thin plate on the face side is heated by the heat of the thin plate on the outside side. It is to make it the laminated body made into the thin plate with a larger shrinkage rate.

  When manufacturing a transparent protective body by sandwiching a sheet metal pattern thin plate formed by die-cutting such a laminate between layers of a transparent body and heating and bonding it, the heated sheet metal pattern sheet is cooled. Shrink by. However, the thermal contraction rates of the laminated thin plates are different, and the thermal contraction rate of the thin plate on the face side is larger than that of the thin plate on the outer side, so that it is curved to the face side. As a result, when this bending phenomenon is viewed from the outside, the sheet metal pattern of the thin plate is between the layers of the transparent body and is heat-pressed, so that the degree of curvature is slight, but the round bar also contains a round bar. It is possible to give a three-dimensional feeling as if it were. As a result, it is possible to reproduce the horizontal bar cut out from the face metal, or the wire and horizontal metal in a state closer to the actual product.

  As materials for thin plates with different shrinkage rates, it is preferable to combine the above-mentioned materials as appropriate, and as an example of a laminate, a metal foil such as aluminum foil and a plastic thin plate, a thin paper and a plastic thin plate, or a thermosetting resin plate Desirably, a thermoplastic resin plate, or a combination of thermoplastic resin plates having different thermal shrinkage rates, that is, a combination of a PET film and a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film and an ABS thin plate, or the like is desirable.

  Even in such a laminate of thin plates having different heat shrinkage rates, the color tone can be changed by coloring the combined thin plates, and the color tone can be arbitrarily changed by means such as printing, painting, or vacuum deposition. .

  The method of providing the face metal pattern plate formed by the laminate of these thin plates between the layers of the transparent body is the case where the face metal pattern is provided on the transparent protective body by means of silk screen printing, painting, or aluminum vapor deposition. Is different. First, the face metal pattern plate is sandwiched between at least two adhesive films. Next, the said face metal pattern board pinched | interposed with this adhesive film is inserted | pinched between the arbitrary layers of a transparent body, and is heat-pressed. By this method, for example, when the sheet metal pattern plate is formed of a laminate of thin plates having different thermal shrinkage rates, the sheet metal pattern plate is provided at a predetermined position while allowing slight curvature of the sheet metal pattern plate. be able to.

  According to the face protector for a kendo of the present invention configured as described above, by placing a part of a notched side metal or a part of a bar and a side metal as a face metal pattern in a transparent protective body, By forming a metal bar or wire and metal bar corresponding to the product, it becomes a structure that does not differ in appearance from the conventional face armor, so it inherits traditional cultural properties such as kendo incorporated into the conventional face armor However, safety can be improved and the wearer's discomfort and anxiety can be eliminated.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A kendo face protector according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a kendo face protector according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The face protector for kendo in the present embodiment has a base 11 formed in a substantially facial contour shape, a wire 13 erected from the center upper part to the lower part of the base 11, and a predetermined interval in the left-right direction of the base 11. There are a plurality of horizontal bars 12 installed and placed on the front face of the face when worn, and the face metal 10 is attached to the face metal 10 and covers the top and side of the head when worn. A face duvet 16 to be protected and an abutment 17 which is attached to the lower portion of the face metal 10 and protects the neck when worn.

  The face metal 10 is provided with an opening 14 formed by cutting out a part of the plurality of horizontal metal elements 12 in the eyes through which the wearer's line of sight passes and the peripheral face part. The base 11 of the face metal 10 that defines the opening 14 is provided with four slits 15 in total, two on each of the left and right sides.

  A transparent protective body 20 is attached to the face metal 10 so as to cover the opening 14. This transparent protective body 20 has two leg portions 23 as shown in FIG. 3 on the left and right sides, for a total of four, and a velvet fastener 24 is attached so as to wrap around the leg portions 23. When the transparent protective body 20 is attached to the opening portion 14, the leg portion 23 is inserted into the slit 15. A velvet fastener (not shown) is sewn on the inner portion of the face cloth 16 corresponding to the velvet fastener 24 attached to the leg 23, and is attached to the leg 23 and the face cloth 16, respectively. The sewn velvet fasteners 24 are coupled to each other, and the transparent protective body 20 is detachably attached to the opening 14.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 (A-A cross-sectional view in FIG. 2), the transparent protective body 20 has a transparent transparent resin plate 21 with a thickness of 1 mm and a transparent resin with a thickness of 2 mm. It has a two-layer structure in which the plate 22 is arranged on the face side. These two resin transparent plates 21 and 22 are made of E.I. V. It is heat-pressed with an A resin-based transparent adhesive film 25 interposed therebetween. As a result, when a large impact is concentrated on one point of the transparent protective body 20, the thin resin transparent plate 21 is destroyed first, and the transparent protective body 20 is prevented from being destroyed at once, and the resin on the face side is prevented. The face can be protected by the transparent plate 22.

  Further, the transparent protective body 20 is provided with a horizontal metal pattern 30 according to the number and location of the cut horizontal metal (FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 4 (A-A cross-sectional view in FIG. 2), the horizontal metal pattern 30 is applied with a silver silk print 31 with a silver paint on the adhesive film 25 side of the resin transparent plate 21, that is, the face side. Has been. Further, a red silk print 32 is overlaid on the silver silk print 31 so that the horizontal metal pattern 30 looks red when worn by the wearer, and the horizontal metal pattern 30 has a two-layer structure. And since this horizontal metal pattern 30 is pinched | interposed between the resin transparent board 21 and the resin transparent board 22, it does not touch a bamboo sword etc. directly, and it does not get damaged or peel off. In addition, this configuration provides the wearer with a feeling of use as if the wearer is wearing a conventional face protector, and can remove a sense of discomfort and anxiety.

  In this embodiment, since the opening 14 is formed by cutting the horizontal metal 12, only the horizontal metal pattern 30 is applied to the transparent protective body 20. However, the wire 13 and the horizontal metal 12 are imitated. Alternatively, a surface metal pattern may be applied to the transparent body protection body 20. Furthermore, even when the opening 13 is formed by cutting the bar 13 and the horizontal bar 12, it can be applied by applying a face metal pattern imitating the bar 13 and the horizontal bar 12 to the transparent protective body 20. is there. In this case, the colors of the wire 13 and the horizontal bar 12 can be changed, and the color of the horizontal bar 12 can be changed depending on the location. Further, the number of the horizontal metal patterns 30 to be printed may be set according to the number of the horizontal metal 12 that is notched.

  The surface protector in the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that, as shown in FIG. 5, an opening 14 is formed by cutting out the metal 13 and the horizontal metal 12 of the surface metal 10. The transparent protective body 20 is formed by heat-pressing two polycarbonate resin transparent plates 21 and 22 having a thickness of 1 mm and 2 mm using two adhesive films 25. A face metal pattern plate 40 formed by bonding two thin plates is sandwiched between the adhesive films 25 and 25.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the sheet metal pattern plate 40 has a 0.01 mm thick aluminum foil 41 as an outer layer and a 0.1 mm thick polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin thin plate 42 as an inner layer. And is composed of a wire pattern 40b simulating the notched wire 13 and a wire pattern 40a simulating the notched wire 12.

  And the surface metal pattern board 40 can imitate the metal and horizontal metal in the conventional face protector by forming in the laminated body which consists of the metal thin plate of an outer layer, and the red resin thin plate of an inner layer, In addition, the combination of the metal thin plate and the resin thin plate is configured such that the thermal contraction rate decreases sequentially from the wearer's face side toward the outside. Therefore, the latter is larger in the shrinkage rate of the aluminum foil 41 and the shrinkage rate of the PET resin thin plate 42 in the cooling process after thermocompression bonding. Therefore, the face metal pattern plate 40 generates a force to bend toward the face side, but is sandwiched between the two adhesive films 25 and 25 and inserted between the two resin transparent plates 21 and 22. Therefore, the degree of curving is limited as shown in FIG. 9 (CC cross-sectional view in FIG. 7). As described above, even if the face metal pattern plate 40 is slightly curved, as a result of appearance, it is possible to make it appear as if the bar and the lateral metal exist in the opening 14.

  In addition, when the face metal pattern board 40 is formed by one sheet of ABS resin, the back surface of the silver resin sheet colored 0.5 mm thick imitating the notched wire 13 and the horizontal metal 12 is used. A red paint is recommended. Further, when the face metal pattern plate 40 is formed by laminating two sheets of ABS resin thin plates, a laminate having a two-layer structure of a silver ABS resin thin plate and a red ABS resin thin plate may be used (FIG. Not shown). In this case, in addition to the combination of ABS resin thin plates, other resin plates, heterogeneous resin plates, paper and plastic, metal foil and plastic, or a laminate of paper and metal foil, etc., may be determined as appropriate. can do.

  Furthermore, as another embodiment (not shown), the face metal pattern described in the second embodiment is formed in the opening 14 of the face metal 10 formed by cutting out a part of the horizontal metal 12 described in the first embodiment. A kendo face protector equipped with the transparent protective body 20 provided with the plate 40 is also preferably applicable. In this case, by aligning the wire 13 and the wire pattern 40b simulating the wire 13 in a straight line, alignment at the time of mounting the transparent protective body 20 becomes easy.
