Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mat for a helmet, etc., and more particularly to a mat for a helmet, etc., which is attached to the inside of a helmet, cap, etc. and has dehumidifying and/or deodorizing properties.

[Prior Art] For example, when driving a motorcycle, a helmet is worn, but water droplets and bad smells adhere to the helmet due to moisture caused by sweat while wearing the helmet, causing discomfort to the rider.

Furthermore, if there is a hood on the front of the helmet, sweat may evaporate into water vapor and form water droplets on the inner surface of the hood, causing the hood to fog up.

Therefore, a powder material with deodorizing properties such as activated carbon or a powder material with dehumidifying properties such as silica gel is stored in a breathable bag, and a mat made in this way is placed inside the helmet. There are devices that attempt to deodorize and dehumidify the inside of a helmet.

[The problem that the invention attempts to solve I! ! ] However, the mat attached to the inside of the helmet,
Simply, a powder material with deodorizing and dehumidifying properties is stored in a breathable bag, and the bag is attached to the part of the rider's head that comes into contact with it. Therefore, there is a problem that stability during installation cannot be obtained.

Furthermore, although the top of the head where the mat is provided is dehumidified and deodorized, there is also the problem that the entire head cannot be effectively dehumidified and deodorized.

This invention was made against the background of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a mat for a helmet, etc., which can improve the stability of wearing the helmet, etc., and can effectively dehumidify and deodorize the entire inside of the helmet. The purpose is

[Means for Solving Problem B] In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a mat attached to the inside of a helmet, in which a bag having dehumidifying and/or deodorizing properties is provided at positions approximately on the circumference. It is characterized by being stored and retained.

[Function] In the mat of the present invention, the powder material having dehumidifying and/or deodorizing properties is arranged approximately on the circumference in the breathable bag, so when it is attached to a helmet etc. and worn, the powder material is removed. The part where the body material is located stably contacts the wearer's head, making the helmet etc. stable.

In addition, it is possible to dehumidify and deodorize not only the circumferential part where the powder material is placed and its vicinity when wearing a helmet, but also the part surrounded by this circumference.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the helmet mat of the present invention, Figure 2 is a plan view of the helmet mat of the present invention;
The figure is II-I! of Figure 1. FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a state in which the helmet mat of the present invention is attached.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a helmet mat formed in the shape of a cross, and storage and holding portions 2b are provided on both sides of connecting portions 2a, 2a.
, 2b, a pair of cylindrical outer bags 2 are sewn together in a state where they intersect at a connecting portion 2a.

The outer bag 2 is made of woolen fabric, but may also be made of breathable non-woven fabric, and is preferably one that is freely deformable and feels good to the touch.

A connecting portion 2d that connects the connecting portion 2a of the outer bag 2 and the storing and holding portion 2b and an opening 2C of the storing and holding portion 1112b are narrowed. Dehumidifying and/or
Alternatively, the inner bag 4 containing the powder material 3 having deodorizing properties is inserted, and the opening 2C is closed after insertion.

Although the connection parts 28 of the pair of outer bags 2 are attached to each other and the openings 2c of the respective housing and holding parts 2b are closed with stitches 5.6, heat sealing or the like may be used.

In this way, the inner bag 4 that stores the powder material 3 is stored and held in the storage holding part 2b of the outer bag 2 in a state where movement is restricted independently, and the inner bag 4 is connected to the outer bag 2. Part 2
It is arranged on the circumference Al with the center 01 of the intersection of the lines a as the midpoint.

Like the outer bag 2, the inner bag 4 is also made of a breathable material. Furthermore, the inner bag 4 is made of a cloth with a finer weave than the outer bag 2 to prevent the powder material 3 from leaking outside. In this embodiment, the inner bag 4 is made of silk fabric. In addition, the code|symbol 4a shows a suture.

Further, the powder material 3 having dehumidifying and/or deodorizing properties is double surrounded by the inner bag 4 and the outer bag 2, and is reliably prevented from leaking to the outside.

In addition, the inner bag 4 can be easily molded by simply inserting the inner bag 4 into the storage holding part 2b of the outer bag 2 and closing the opening 2C, and the production process is easy and the productivity is high.

As the powder material 3 having deodorizing properties and/or deodorizing properties, porous ceramics having dehumidifying properties and deodorizing properties are used, but for example, activated carbon which has only deodorizing properties, silica gel, etc. which only develops deodorizing properties, etc. You can also use

In particular, porous ceramics are not only lightweight, but also due to their extensive pore structure and adsorption effect at the interface.
Absorbs and adsorbs excess moisture in the air that causes stuffiness.

In addition, sweat contains waste products from the rider's body, fat on the body surface, and fine dust, and these odor components and the bacteria that breed using them as nutrients cause odor. The porous ceramic absorbs these odor-causing substances and suppresses the growth of bacteria.

Note that porous ceramic, activated carbon, and silica gel may be used alone, or in combination.

A double-sided adhesive tape 7 serving as an attachment means is provided on each storage holding portion 2b of the outer bag 2, so that it can be attached to the inside of a helmet. As a mounting means,
Universal fasteners may also be used.

Figure 3 shows how it is attached to a helmet mat.

In this figure, reference numeral 10 indicates a helmet, and a shock absorbing liner 12 that absorbs i* from the outside is provided inside a cap body 11 that covers the external surface, and the head comes into contact with the inside of this shock absorbing liner 12. A head cushion 13 made of a sponge or the like is provided. Matte on this helmet 10 head cushion day 13! is attached by a double-sided adhesive tape provided on the storage holding part 2b of the outer bag 2, and can be easily attached and detached, providing versatility.

In addition, the mat 1 has a connecting part 2a of the outer bag 2 located at the top of the rider's head, and a storing and holding part 2b of the mat 1 located at a part slightly away from the top of the rider's head, and is arranged at A1 on the circumference. 4
Since the storage and holding parts 2b and 6 are held in pressure contact with the head, the helmet 10 can be stably held.

In addition, since the powder material 3 is a powder, it can easily adapt to any curved surface or unspecified shape, and a good fit can be obtained.

In addition, the powder material 3 is stored in the inner bag 4 and further stored and held in the outer bag 2 in a state where movement is regulated independently, so the powder material 3 has good stability and is biased toward the negative side. Moreover, since the mat 10 has a structure in which the powder material 3 is double surrounded by the inner bag 4 and the outer bag 2, it is prevented from being exposed to the outside.

By using this mat 1, the powder material 3 placed at 4 locations on the circumference ^1 around the top of the rider's head can be used to prevent stuffiness and bad odors caused by sweat while wearing the helmet 10.
This makes it possible to remove stuffiness and bad odors caused by sweat from around the head to the top of the head, that is, from the entire head. In addition, since the sweat has an absorbing power in the form of water vapor before it turns into sweat, the hood 14 can be prevented from fogging up even if the hood 14 is in front.

Furthermore, the mat 1 can be very easily attached and detached when its dehumidification and deodorizing properties deteriorate with use and it is desired to replace it with a new one.
