Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field This invention can be worn on a part of the body such as the arms, legs, or torso of children, elderly people, or workers who work in dark places when walking or cycling at night. This relates to safety accessories used.

Purpose of the invention The purpose of this invention is to enable drivers of automobiles to easily confirm the presence of people passing by at night from a distance, and to ensure the safety of human life by preventing traffic accidents, especially among children and the elderly. As well as being able to
To provide a novel safety accessory which can be put on and taken off very easily without any trouble, and furthermore, children are interested in it and willingly put it on.

Structure of the Device In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this device forms a cutout in a part of a substantially annular grip made of an elastic plate, and a part of at least one of the upper and lower edges of the grip. A plate-shaped decoration is integrally molded to protrude along the grip, and reflective or light-emitting members are provided on the outer surfaces of the grip and the decoration.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example embodying this invention will be explained based on FIG. 1. In the figure, 1 is a grip portion formed in a substantially circular shape by an elastic plate made of natural or synthetic rubber, vinyl chloride, polypropylene, etc. can be,
A part of the peripheral wall is provided with a vertically extending cut-off part 2 having a predetermined width. Both end surfaces of the gripping body 1 facing each other at the separation portion 2 are formed in an arcuate shape. Further, a mountain-shaped decoration 3 is integrally formed on the upper edge of the grip body 1 and protrudes from an elastic plate made of the same material as the grip body. The outer surface of the gripping body 1 is coated with reflective tape, reflective paint, or
A reflective or luminescent member 4 made of fluorescent paint, luminous paint, etc. is provided, and the reflective or luminescent member 4 includes a base portion that covers the entire outer surface of the gripping body 1, and a reflective or luminescent member 4 that is partially provided on the base portion and has a different color. It consists of a pattern section.

Therefore, this gripping body 1 can be used by children, elderly people who go out on foot or by bicycle, or elementary school students who go to cram school at night.
If it is attached to a part of the body such as the arm, leg, or torso of a junior high school student, a high school student commuting to school at night, or other workers involved in work in a dark place, the grip will be exposed to car lights due to the action of the reflective or light-emitting member 4. Since the grip body 1 reflects or emits light, the driver can easily check the grip body 1 from a distance even at night. Therefore, the presence of the wearer becomes clear, and traffic accidents of people passing by at night can be prevented.

In addition, since decorations such as mountains are integrally molded to protrude from a part of the gripping body 1, children are interested in the decorations and willingly put them on, so even children who are difficult to see the driver at night can easily see the decorations. can do.

Since the separation part 2 is provided in a part of the grip body 1, the separation part 2 is pushed out with fingers to separate the grip body 1.
By spreading outward, the grip body 1 can be easily attached to the arm or the like, and there is no risk of the grip body 1 slipping off due to its elasticity when worn. Therefore, compared to conventional armbands and the like that are worn via safety pins or hook-and-loop fasteners, it has a simple structure and can be easily put on and taken off, and there is no need to worry about putting it on because it is hassle-free. Furthermore, conventional armbands made of cloth with reflective tape pasted on the outside had the disadvantage that the reflective tape would peel off after several washes, but with the safety accessory of this embodiment, the gripper Since it is made of rubber or synthetic resin, dirt can be easily wiped off and it can be used for a long time. Furthermore, if the gripping body 1 is made of a highly flexible material such as rubber, it is safe even when it is worn directly on the bare skin, such as during summer.

In addition, since the reflective or light-emitting member 4 is also provided on the outer surface of the decoration 3, if the area of the decoration 3 is formed to be larger, the area of reflection or light-emission by car lights etc. can be reduced without increasing the width of the grip body 1. can be increased. Therefore, there is no need to widen the width of the gripping body 1 in order to increase the reflection or light emitting area, so there is no possibility that it will be difficult to move even if the safety accessory of this embodiment is worn on the arm or the like.

Another Embodiment This invention is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment described above, but can be embodied in another embodiment described in the next section.

(1) In the embodiment described above, the decoration 3 is provided on the upper edge of the grip body 1, but it may be formed on the lower edge of the grip body 1.
Further, the decoration 3 is not limited to the mountain, but may be changed to a mark, character, etc. according to the child's preference.

(2) The pattern of the reflective or luminescent member 4 can be arbitrarily changed according to the user's preference. Furthermore, if the opposite end edges of the gripping body 1 are formed to protrude outward at the separation portion 2, it becomes easier to hang the gripping body with the fingers, thereby making attachment and detachment easier.

(3) The entire inner surface of the gripper 1 may be provided with thick open-cell urethane foam, cotton, or the like having breathability and cushioning properties. This will make it more comfortable to wear in the summer.

(4) As shown in FIG. 2, a non-slip portion 5 may be provided on the entire inner surface of the gripping body 1 by means of unevenness or flocking. By doing this, the grip body 1 when attached
Misalignment is more reliably prevented.

Effects of the invention As detailed above, this invention has a plate-shaped decoration integrally formed on at least one part of the upper and lower edges of a substantially annular grip made of an elastic plate and protruding along the grip. However, by providing a reflective or light-emitting member on the outer surface of the grip and the decoration, it is possible to easily see the user from a distance even in a dark place due to the light of a car, etc., making the presence of the user clear, and especially It can protect children who pass by at night from traffic accidents, and it is extremely easy to put on and take off.Furthermore, because the decoration is formed and the decoration is also equipped with reflective or luminous materials, children will be interested in it and will be able to take their own initiative. In addition to wearing it, it is possible to secure a sufficient reflective or light-emitting area by making the decoration area large without increasing the plate width of the gripper itself, so it is possible to provide a safety accessory that allows the wearer to move easily at all times. It has excellent effects.
