The cross reference of related application

The application is the continuity case of No. the 10/766th, 709, the U.S. Patent application series submitted on January 27th, 2004.

Technical field

The present invention relates to have coat, footwear, knapsack and other ornament of light-emitting component.

Background technology

All the time, the coat, the footwear that have flash lamp all are the latest fashions of dress ornament, and this style is welcome to be owing to its safe effect that brings, noticeable outward appearance, or only is because its novel effect of bringing.

The luminescence unit that is used for coat and footwear generally includes light source (as one or more light emitting diodes), power supply (as battery), switch, and described switch is used for realizing being connected between power supply and the light source.Described luminescence unit is built-in with electronic circuit usually, and this electronic circuit is used for controlling the actual illumination time of light source, thereby has limited expending of energy, has saved battery electric quantity.The flash of light of short time is often more obvious, more can improve the safe effect that luminescence unit brings, and also reaches the effect that attracts eyeball more simultaneously.

The United States Patent (USP) of authorizing Dana III has been described the light-emitting device or the illuminating circuit of number of different types for No. 4158922, comprises foot movement is made a response to realize the mercoid switch of opening/closing to light source.Authorize the United States Patent (USP) of Rogers and also introduced a kind of mercoid switch operating system for No. 4848009.

People have developed device miscellaneous so that running down of battery (battery drain) minimizes.The applicant's that authorize December 19 nineteen ninety-five early stage United States Patent (USP) No. 5477435 (now for RE37220E number) has been introduced the light emitting module of a kind of LED of having, an end of this module is connected with a side of wafer battery, and another end is away from battery but have weight, when the footwear impact surface, another end of described light emitting module can touch with battery under action of inertia, thereby lights LED.In this mode, when light emitting module was in dormant state, LED was not luminous, the not loss energy content of battery.Also introduce other No. 5408764, United States Patent (USP) in No. 5932975 and be used to light the module of illuminator in the footwear.United States Patent (USP) also comprises the microcircuit with optical switch No. 5932975, and described optical switch has the function of the extraneous light intensity of induction, and with the enhancing gradually of extraneous light, the light that light emitting module produced weakens gradually, until complete obiteration.This is a kind of in many energy savers in the prior art.

Snap switch is a kind of switch commonly used, and its wire coil by an elongation constitutes, and an end of this coil is connected with an end of electronic circuit, and the other end is suspended on another end of electronic circuit.Bump between footwear and the surface or movements of parts of the body can drive switch, and the action of switch can make spring coil generation elastic telescopic usually, and repeatedly contact with described second terminal generation, thereby produce a series of continuous positive negative peak or pulses.

The Switch that is used to above application of another type is similar to mercoid switch, be with the difference of mercoid switch, it has used a kind of ball, this ball moves to another position from itself and another terminal contactless position of rest, on this position, two terminals are that intermediary realizes connecting with the ball, thereby have realized the closure of illuminating circuit.

The weak point of the above system is, in case luminous beginning is between light emission period, luminous very usual and be predictable.Obviously, if luminescence process is the more accurate reflection to footwear and action that clothing is done, rather than trigger caused distortion reflection by snap switch, illumination effect will be improved to a great extent so.

Because the toxicity character of mercury, thereby mercoid switch is current is considered to unacceptable.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of switch, it is applied to the luminescent system on footwear and other clothings.The illumination effect that this switch provides can reflect the action of footwear and clothing more accurately, is better than the controlled output effect that the current application switch is provided.

Another considerable factor in this uses is a cost, especially for children's shoes.The cost of switch has accounted for the very most of of luminescent system cost, reduces the switch cost and is very important.Therefore, another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of switch that is applicable to footwear/clothing luminescent system, its cost significantly is lower than the switch of current application.

Further, need provide a kind of easy low-cost switch, when footwear/clothing was in any form, closure state unintentionally can not take place in this switch.The application switch logic circuit can be realized this kind effect in light emitting module, and detailed process is switch closure, the switching logic circuit makes an immediate response, send a train pulse and stop then, disconnect also closure once more up to switch, the switching logic circuit just sends a train pulse again.So just simplified design, made switch closure once only produce a train pulse switch, up to switch opens and once more closure just produce train pulse again.Therefore, need not to establish in addition special device in this programme prevents because of the permanent closed battery that exhausts of switch.

Summary of the invention

The switch of the luminescent system that is used for dress ornament that the applicant designs is very little and be integrated into the circuit of simplifying very much, and this circuit provides output signal to one or more light sources (as bulb or light emitting diode), and described dress ornament comprises footwear, jacket, knapsack etc.This switch itself comprises the tubular casing of being made by insulating materials, manages such as glass tube, plastic tube or PVC (polyvinyl chloride).The cross section of described tubular casing is preferably circle, triangle or rectangle (square), also can use other shape of cross section, as ellipse.The contact plug that a pair of longitudinal separation is arranged stretches into described tubular casing, and its terminals are stayed the outside, is used to be connected to circuit and the conduction head that places within the described tubular casing.

A unsteady bow strip of being made by conductive material places in the described tubular casing, and spaced apart with the conduction of described contact plug.The length of described unsteady bow strip is enough to across two contact plugs, so that along with the motion of switch, described unsteady bow strip is easy to two contact plugs the moment bridge joint take place, thereby sends input signal to circuit, impels light emitting diode or other light source luminescent.Switch of the present invention, a southbridge of its contact plug only produces an input pulse, and for above-described snap switch, because the inherent characteristic of spring, along with each actions of footwear all can produce a series of continuous input pulses.In the present invention, have several such bridge joints, but these can both respond such motion rapidly and switch on and off.。

Because footwear or clothing may be thrown into wardrobe or other place, and the bow strip that floats still is in the state of bridge joint two contact plugs, therefore two contact plugs can be provided with insulative sidewall so that its with described unsteady bow strip between contact on the specific region that is limited in pin surface.

In light emitting module, use the switching logic circuit also can reach same effect, detailed process is, switch closure, and the logic circuit response is sent a train pulse and is stopped then, disconnect also closure once more up to switch, logic circuit just sends a train pulse again.So just simplified design,, disconnected also once more closure up to switch and just produce train pulse again so that switch closure once only produces a train pulse to switch.Therefore, need not because of the permanent closure of switch causes the battery consume insulating barrier to be set on contact plug again for preventing.

For described unsteady bow strip is remained in the described tubular casing, end component can be attached at tubular casing, also can be located in the tubular casing.Owing to used described unsteady bow strip, spring and flexible member all can be exempted, and this has just increased the reliability of system, have also reduced device size simultaneously, have reduced cost.

In addition, the dimension and weight of described unsteady bow strip and described tubular casing can both change, thereby changes the transfer characteristic and the sensitivity of switch.By in described tubular casing, non-conductive liquid being set, can change the transfer characteristic (refering in particular to the response time) of system.
