Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cold-resistant and waterproof life jacket to be worn in preparation for accidents and disasters at sea.

[Prior art]

Marine accidents involving fishing boats, etc. at sea in cold waters, etc.
Cold-resistant, waterproof life jackets are worn during fishing operations in case of falling into the sea during fishing operations or other disasters. The drawback was that only parts could not be cleaned and replaced. Furthermore, when the life jacket and gloves were made separate for fishing purposes, seawater entered the joint between the life jacket and the gloves, causing the life jacket to lose its function.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention was made for the purpose of improving the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the life jacket body and gloves are separated,
By providing a closed foam sponge that tightly contacts the entire circumference of the opposing surfaces of the joints of the two, and by providing a ring that tightly supports these closed foam sponges, it is possible to easily put on gloves and attach the life jacket to the main body. To provide a cold-resistant and waterproof life jacket that can be joined together, maintain a watertight state at the joined part when worn, and prevent seawater from entering.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a life jacket according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the joint when gloves are not worn, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the joint when gloves are worn. In the figure, 1 is the main body of the life jacket that the person M puts on during work, 2 is a pair of boots formed integrally with the main body 1 of the life jacket, and 3 is provided on the front of the main body 1 of the life jacket so that the person M can close it after putting on the life jacket. waterproof fasteners,
4 is a hood provided on the upper part of the life jacket body 1 so as to cover the head; 5 is a glove formed separately from the life jacket body 1 and removably joined; 6 is a hood that is formed by folding the glove 5; A glove storage pocket is provided on the side of the life jacket body 1 for storage, 7 is a joint formed at the wrist of the life jacket body 1 and the glove 5, and 8 is a joint part 7 of the life jacket body 1. A ring made of a material having a certain degree of rigidity such as plastic fixed to the inner surface, 9 is this ring 8
A closed foam sponge 10 fixed to the entire outer circumference of the life jacket body 1 at the joint 7 at the same position as 10 is provided on the inside of the glove 5 at the joint 7 so as to have a shorter circumference than this sponge 9. Another closed foam sponge, 11 corresponds to this sponge 10, and a belt 12 is attached at one end to the outside of the glove 5.
and 13 are face-to-face fasteners (Velcro fasteners) formed at both ends of the belt 11.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cold-resistant waterproof life jacket constructed as described above is constructed by a person M wearing the life jacket body 1, closing the waterproof zipper 3, and then wearing gloves 5 at the joint 7. Although it is used by joining,
It is almost impossible to wear gloves 5 all the time when performing various types of work such as on a ship. However, we do not know when a marine accident, fall into the sea, or other disaster will occur.
As shown in FIG. 2, the user does not wear the gloves 5, but stores them in the glove storage pocket 6 during work. If the above-mentioned accident or disaster occurs while the gloves 5 are not worn, the person M takes the gloves 5 out of the glove storage pocket 6 while on board or at sea, and places a sponge 9 on the inner surface of the gloves 5 as shown in FIG. Cover with a sponge 10. At this time, since the circumference of the sponge 10 provided on the inner surface of the glove 5 is made shorter than the circumference of the sponge 9, the elastic force of the sponge 10 causes the sponge 9 to be crimped around the entire circumference of the sponge 10, and the ring 8 Since the rigidity exceeds the elastic force of the sponge 10, the joint 7 maintains its shape, and the sponges 9 and 10 prevent seawater from entering. Furthermore, in consideration of safety, if the belt 11 fixed to the glove 5 is wrapped around the top of the joint and secured with fasteners 12, 13, etc., the joint can be prevented from turning up or falling off due to resistance from seawater, etc. It remains watertight even when swimming in it.

As mentioned above, the gloves 5 can be easily worn on board a ship or underwater, and can thereby prevent seawater from entering when the person M swims or floats in the sea, thereby preventing the person M from getting cold due to the intrusion of cold seawater, etc. can be protected from. In addition, since the life jacket body 1 and the gloves 5 are separate pieces, it is possible to easily perform a wide variety of tasks onboard ships, etc., making it suitable for use as a work life jacket, and the gloves 5 alone can be washed and replaced if damaged. be.

In the above embodiment, the ring 8 is provided on the life jacket body 1, but the ring 8 may be provided on the glove 5. Furthermore, the life jacket of the present invention can be used not only at sea or on a ship, but also in any place where cold resistance and waterproofing are required.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the main body of the life jacket and the gloves are separate, and a closed foam sponge is provided on the opposite side of the joint between the two, and is supported by a ring, so a wide variety of tasks can be performed without wearing gloves. In an emergency, the gloves can be worn and connected to the life jacket with a simple operation, and when worn, they maintain a watertight state to reliably prevent seawater from entering, and the gloves alone can be washed and replaced. There are effects such as
