2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, portable telephones have been rapidly spread and widely used. However, portable telephones are formed to be small and light in weight, and for the purpose of improving the handleability during carrying,
As shown in FIG. 4, in many cases, a loop-shaped strap 2A is attached to the head side of the main body of the portable telephone set 11 or the like. As shown in the figure, the strap 2A has a thin string base 12 formed in a loop with a thin string and a base 2C of a strap body 2B formed as a loop-shaped band integrally fixed to each other by a stopper 13. A ring body (shown in the drawing) in which the distal end side of the thin cord base 12 is provided in a hole 14 provided in a corner on the head side of the telephone body 11 or a corner on the head side of the telephone body 11. The strap body 2B is used while being carried by hand or with the strap body 2B wound around the hand.

[0003]

By the way, the function of the strap 2A having the conventional structure described above is only to improve the ease of handling of the portable telephone 11 being carried. Also, due to the rapid spread of mobile phones, it is required to be distinguishable from each other. For example, by attaching a mascot separately from the strap 2A or attaching an antenna 15 or the like to the mobile phone. The distinctiveness was given.

[0004] On the other hand, portable telephones, which have spread rapidly, are used everywhere because of their convenience. However, ringing tones of the portable telephones may cause trouble to surrounding people, and surrounding electronic equipment may generate oscillating radio waves. In many cases, problems such as susceptibility to failures caused by the problem occur.

[0005] Therefore, in order to eliminate annoyance due to the ringtone,
For example, attach a mascot to a mobile phone and install a light emitting diode inside the mascot, or attach an antenna to a mobile phone, install a light emitting diode at the tip of the antenna, shine a light emitting diode instead of a ringtone, and receive an incoming call. Mobile phones that are configured to notify users are beginning to be used. However, when the light emitting diode in the mascot is illuminated to notify the incoming call, there is a problem that the light emitting diode is dark because the light emitting diode is inside the mascot and the light emission can be confirmed only from one side. Also, in the case where the light-emitting diode at the tip of the antenna emits light to notify an incoming call, the light-emitting diode emits point light, so that it is difficult to confirm the light-emitting state.

Accordingly, the object of the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and by illuminating the strap itself, it is possible to impart discriminability to the strap itself. It is an object of the present invention to provide a strap device that can easily identify a place where a baggage or the like has been left behind and that does not cause any trouble due to a ringing tone to the surroundings.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a strap device including at least an antenna unit 3, a circuit unit 4, and a strap unit 2, and used as a pair with a portable telephone. A strap device comprising an EL sheet or an EL fiber and configured to emit or blink the entire strap portion 2 when an incoming call arrives. According to the first aspect, the strap device is made of an EL sheet or an EL fiber, and the entire strap portion 2 emits light or blinks, so that it is easy to confirm the light emission state unlike point emission. Further, by changing the emission color of the strap 2 or combining a plurality of colors, the strap device itself can be given distinctiveness. In addition, since the identification is made by the light emission, there is no trouble to the surroundings such as a ring tone, and a strap device which makes it easy to confirm the place where the mobile phone or the baggage is left behind can be obtained.

According to a second aspect, there is provided a strap device according to the first aspect, wherein the strap portion 2 is formed in a belt shape. According to the second aspect, the strap portion 2
Is formed in a belt shape, a strap device in which the light emission or blinking of the strap portion 2 is more reliably identified can be obtained.
