Ergonomic Evaluation of Load-Carrying Utility Wear by Used Clothes
摘要
Recently the recycling rate for automobiles is over 99%, while that for apparel clothing is only 11% in Japan. Moreover, the rise of fast fashion, the amount of clothing discarded was quite extremely increased. This study was proposed that a prototype of load carrying wear with storage was made by attaching a piece of used clothing to an old piece of clothing. The basic sewing available parts of the same old clothes and adding pockets as utility to the old clothes can reduce the amount of clothes to be discarded. This study was measured, and ergonomics evaluated walking and quite standing filled with luggage while wearing load carrying with basic sewing skills as the pocket storages from old clothes. With the load carrying wear on, walking harmonic ratio was remained without wearing and quite standing was stable. It was considered that load carrying wear is more stable than backpacks and handbags.
