PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the shoulder band of a shoulder type working machine, which is capable of easily adjusting the length and reducing the load on a worker when adjusting the length.SOLUTION: The shoulder band of the shoulder type working machine includes a band body 20 born on the workers shoulders and a buckle 11 for adjusting the length of the band body 20. The buckle 11 has an annular frame member 12 and a rod-like member 13 partitioning the inside of the frame member 12. The band body 20 constitutes the shoulder band to be inserted between the frame member 12 and a rod-like member 13. A plurality of scales 16 are provided on the band body 20 and an index 19 to correspond to each of the scales 16 is provided on the frame member 12 of the buckle 11. As a result, the length of the band body 20 is adjusted by the alignment of the scale 16 and the index 19 of the frame member 12 and the length of the shoulder band is adjusted without bearing the body part of the shoulder type working machine on the shoulders.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】容易に長さを調整でき、長さ調整時の作業者の負担を軽減できる背負式作業機の背負バンドを提供する。【解決手段】作業者が肩に背負うバンド本体20と、バンド本体20の長さを調整するためのバックル11と、を備え、バックル11は、環状のフレーム部材12と当該フレーム部材12の内側を仕切る棒状部材13とを有し、バンド本体20は、フレーム部材12と棒状部材13との間に挿通されるように背負バンドを構成し、このバンド本体20上に、複数の目盛16を設け、バックル11のフレーム部材12上に、目盛16と対応させるための指標19を設ける。これにより、目盛16とフレーム部材12の指標19との位置合わせによるバンド本体20の長さ調整を可能とし、背負式作業機の本体部を背負うことなく背負バンドの長さを調整できるようにする。【選択図】図5
