Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention is intended to improve body wears such as gloves, hats, outerwear, and pants.More specifically, the light of cars and other vehicles at night is reflected at high brightness to help traffic safety. The present invention relates to a body-wearing product for traffic safety which has a good feel and excellent durability.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In modern society, traffic accidents are one of the major social problems. This traffic accident tends to occur frequently at night when visibility is poor.For example, on a road with poor visibility such as at twilight in rainy weather, the driver proceeds It often happens.

As a countermeasure to prevent such a traffic accident, it is natural for the driver to reduce the speed of the car and to exercise sufficient caution, but pedestrians and cyclists and motorcyclists also need to pay attention at night. It is preferable to wear conspicuous clothing and wear highly reflective articles.

However, when wearing such a highly-reflective article for alerting, it is necessary to use a tusk made of a highly reflective cloth, or to attach to the outer surface of a body-wearing article such as a glove or a hat. A method of attaching a tape-shaped reflector with an adhesive or the like has been adopted. However, such a reflector attaching method has a disadvantage that the tape-shaped reflector is easily peeled off while wearing gloves or the like for a long time.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned difficulties in the conventional body wear goods for traffic safety, and the lights of automobiles and the like at night are reflected at high brightness to be useful for traffic safety. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wearable body for traffic safety which has a good feel when worn and has excellent durability.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The means adopted by the present inventors to solve the above technical problem will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

That is, the present invention is a fabric product in which a high-intensity reflective yarn is woven or knitted in a required portion, and a warning portion formed by the high-intensity reflective yarn is arranged on an outer surface, The feature is that the above-mentioned problem has been solved by adopting a means of forming the inner surface of the rear surface of the alerting section that should be in contact with the skin with a flexible material.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an alert portion on the front side of the glove according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a smooth and flexible state on the back side of the alert portion of the glove of the embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the high-intensity reflective yarn that organizes the alerting portion of the glove according to the embodiment, FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the enlarged high-intensity reflective yarn that organizes the alerting portion of the glove according to the embodiment. It is the perspective view which expanded and showed the auxiliary thread which organizes the flexible part of this embodiment glove.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show gloves as an example of a body-worn article according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, what is indicated by reference numeral 1 is a fabric constituting the glove of the present embodiment. This fabric 1 is made in a bag shape by circularly knitting wool yarn.

The reference numeral 2 designates an alerting unit which reflects headlights of an automobile or the like at night to call attention to a driver, and is arranged on the outer surface of the cloth 1. The alerting portion 2 is formed by knitting high-brightness reflective yarns 21, 21... In a substantially central portion of the fabric 1 (see FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 4, as the high-brightness reflective yarn 21, a covering yarn in which a tape-like reflective material 21a made of a metal foil is wound around and covered with a core yarn 21b is used. Threads coated with powder, fluorescent material, or other high-intensity reflective material may be used.

What is indicated by the reference numeral 3 is a flexible portion for smoothly forming an inner surface of the back surface of the alerting unit 2 to be in contact with the skin. The flexible portion 3 is formed by knitting additional yarns 31, 31,... Made of a flexible material with the high-brightness reflective yarns 21, 21,. ). As shown in FIG. 5, a soft cotton yarn is used as the additional yarn 31.

As described above, in the glove according to the present embodiment in which the alerting portion 2 and the flexible portion 3 are knitted in required portions of the cloth 1, the alerting portion 2 on the outer surface has excellent reflectivity with high brightness. While it is useful for traffic safety, the flexible part 3 corresponding to the back of the warning part 2 has a smooth feel when worn, and the woven warning part 2 is It has excellent durability without peeling off like reflector-attached gloves. In other words, it is possible to obtain gloves that have the three advantages of improving traffic safety, feel, and durability.

When a pedestrian fits the gloves of the embodiment (the size of the alerting section 2: 1.5 cm in width and 10 cm in length) and performs night tests with the headlights of a car, the driver is about 30 m in front of the pedestrian. Was visible.

Although the embodiments of the present invention are generally as described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes may be made within the description of “claims for registering utility model”. For example, in the gloves of the present embodiment, a fabric product made of a knitted fabric is shown. However, a fabric product made of a woven fabric is manufactured, or the high-intensity reflective yarns 21, 21. Of the alerting section 2 by weaving the alerting section 2 into the cloth 1 or forming a flexible section 3 by covering the back surface of the alerting section 2 with a flexible sheet material instead of the auxiliary threads 31. It is also possible to do.

In addition, as a body wear item for traffic safety of the present embodiment, any body wear item other than gloves, such as a hat, a collar wrap, socks, outerwear, and pants, can be used. Of course, it goes without saying that any of these modifications fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above with reference to the embodiment, in the present invention, a fabric product in which a high-brightness reflective yarn is woven or knitted in a required portion is produced, and the high-brightness reflective yarn is formed. The alerting section on the outer side is placed on the outer surface, and the inner surface of the backside of the alerting section that should touch the skin is made of a flexible material, so that the alerting section on the outer surface has high brightness and excellent reflectivity. At the same time as being useful for safety, the inner surface to be in contact with the skin is smooth and the feel when worn is good, and the woven or woven warning part is also durable. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a body wear product for traffic safety that has these three advantages, and the industrial practical value in the field of traffic safety is extremely large.
