Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to improvement of retroreflective cloth that is attached to life jackets and the like.

[Prior Art] In general, ships are required to carry life jackets corresponding to the number of crew members in case of a marine accident, and especially in the case of small ships, ship crew members are required to wear life jackets at all times. is guided by. In addition to this, in order to make rescue operations more convenient in the event of a nighttime distress, it has recently become legal to attach light-reflecting material (referred to as retroreflective fabric) to specified points on life jackets, and life jackets installed on large ships have recently been enacted. Since July 1986, life jackets for small vessels have been introduced since July 1988.
Since October 1962, retroreflective cloth has been required to be installed not only on new products but also on existing products.

Figures 4 and 5 show a life vest 2 to which a retroreflective cloth 1 is attached. Figure 4 is for a large ship, and Figure 5 is for a small ship. Along with regulations, the dimensions of retroreflective cloth are also 5cm x 10
It is regulated as cm.

Note that FIG. 6 shows a conventional retroreflective cloth 1 attached to a cloth, in which a is a plan view and b is an enlarged sectional view. In the figure, 1a is a retroreflective cloth, and 1b is a cloth.As shown in the figure, the retroreflective cloth 1a is usually sold on the market in a state where it is attached to the cloth 1b.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, when attaching the above-mentioned retroreflective cloth to the life jacket 2, if the life jacket is a new product, there are several ways to attach it, such as sewing it on at the time of product manufacture. It is not so easy to attach it to ready-made life jackets 2, such as those already shipped to the market or those in stock from manufacturers. A method of attaching a glue to the back side of the fabric 1b of the retroreflective fabric 1 attached to the fabric as shown in FIG. The glue passes through the grain of the fabric 1.
b seeps out onto the upper surface of the reflective cloth 1a and deteriorates the reflection efficiency of the reflective cloth 1a, resulting in an extremely low reflective function of the reflective cloth 1a. The retroreflective fabric 1a used in the life jacket is a type-approved product based on international law, and a retroreflective fabric with such a reduced reflective function is ineligible for type-approval standards. Therefore, pasting with glue has to be given up, and sewing is being considered as an alternative. However, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, it takes considerable effort to sew six pieces of reflective fabric 2 on a life jacket for large ships, and two pieces of reflective fabric 2 for small ships. There is a demand for a retroreflective cloth that can be easily installed without any effort.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems of conventional retroreflective cloth, and aims to provide a retroreflective cloth that can be easily attached to a life jacket.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the one-touch retroreflective cloth according to the present invention is a fabric that is coated on one side to prevent glue from seeping out. Alternatively, a pasting cloth whose other side is coated with glue is sewn to the back side of the retroreflective cloth together with a release paper that covers the adhesive side.

[Function] Since the one-touch retroreflective cloth according to the present invention is constructed as described above, the adhesive applied to one side of the pasting cloth is blocked by the coating surface and is prevented from seeping out onto the upper surface of the cloth. Moreover, it became possible to easily attach retroreflective cloth to life jackets using glue.

[Embodiment of the invention] Fig. 1a is a plan view of a one-touch retroreflective cloth that is an embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 1b is an enlarged sectional view thereof, in which 1a is a retroreflective cloth, 10a is a cloth, 10
b is a coating, 10c is a glue, 11 is a release paper, and 12 is a seam.

As shown in the figure, a pasting cloth 10 is prepared by coating one side of a cloth 10a cut to a predetermined size with a resin such as acrylic or urethane 10b, and applying a glue 10c on the coated surface. The surface is covered with a release paper 11 and sewn to the back surface of the retroreflective cloth 1a. Note that the mounting method is not limited to the sewing method shown in this embodiment, and other methods may be used.

When using the one-touch retroreflective cloth configured as described above, it is only necessary to peel off the release paper 11 and stick it to a predetermined location on the life vest, and therefore it can be installed reliably without requiring much effort.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view showing another embodiment, which is a one-touch retroreflective cloth in which a coating 10b is applied to one side of the cloth 10a and a glue 10c is applied to the other side. In addition, as shown in Fig. 3, the pasting cloth 10
It may be configured to be slightly larger than the reflective cloth to ensure reliable adhesion.

The use of the one-touch retroreflective cloth according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned life jackets, but can be applied to a wide range of lifesaving equipment for marine accidents, such as lifebuoys, lifebuoys, lifebuoys, or lifeclothes. It also has the feature of being able to be attached to ready-made items such as safety jumpers for road work on land and jumpers for protection against the cold.

[Effects of the invention] The one-touch retroreflective cloth according to the invention is a pasting cloth made by applying a coating to one side of the cloth to prevent oozing of a glue, and applying a glue to the coated side or the other side. is sewn onto the back side of retroreflective cloth along with release paper, so
Attaching to ready-made clothing such as life jackets and winter jackets is now much easier and more reliable than with conventional methods.
