Abstract

Uv detecting band, characterized in that it is constituted from a substantially flat body, made of pvc or silicone and resistant to water, of elongated planar configuration, preferably rectangular, but which can adopt any other, being intended to be placed, by means of conventional fastening systems, on garments, objects and accessories (2); wherein said band (1) incorporates an impregnation layer (3) of pulverized photochromic material applied to the pvc or silicone material with which it is made, giving it the ability to act as a uv (ultraviolet) detector, since the material photochromatic conformant of the layer (3) reacts when exposed to said type of rays causing its color change, so that as a consequence of said exposure, the color tonality of this impregnation layer (3), which will be colorless, white or very soft tonality, will gradually acquire different types of tones, by way of example (violet, blue, orange, red, etc.), which will increase in intensity as the exposure is prolonged while, by decreasing the radiation, slowly recover its original color (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

UV detection band.

Object of the invention

This Utility Model refers to such as stated in the statement, to a UV detection band that brings to the function that is intended, several advantages that are they will record later.

More specifically, the object of the invention It consists of a band or strip of PVC or silicone material to which a photochromic powder impregnation has been incorporated which reacts to the ultraviolet rays of light by changing color, so that it is configured as a detector of these rays to prevent the user against its possible risks, being especially  intended to be applied to garments, objects and accessories, preferably those that are usually used to go out field or beach, such as t-shirts, flip flops, towels, bags, etc.

Background of the invention

At present, and as a reference to the state current technique, it is worth mentioning that by the petitioner the existence of any other band that presents some is unknown similar technical, structural and constitutive characteristics to the ones presented here.

Explanation of the invention.

With the present invention, a band, made of PVC or silicone, and waterproof, which will be constituted by a flat body of elongated plantar configuration, preferably rectangular, but that can take any other shape, intended to be placed, by conventional systems of fixation, in garments, objects and accessories, preferably of those that are usually used to go out to the countryside or the beach, such as t-shirts, flip flops, towels, bags, etc., which It has the peculiarity of being endowed with a layer of impregnation of powdered photochromic material applied to the PVC or silicone material with which the band is made.

Said impregnation provides this band with ability to act as a UV detector (ultraviolet), since that the photochromic material of which it is composed reacts to the being exposed to such lightning causing its change of color.

In this way, the detector band of the invention, which in normal state will be colorless, white or one color Of very soft hue, you will gradually acquire different types of shades, by way of example (violet, blue, yellow, orange, red), which will increase in intensity as exposure to UV rays are prolonged, thus alerting the wearer of the garment, object or accessory in which it is fixed, of the possible risk of staying too long in the sun, so he will know that must be properly protected by applying adequate sunscreens or looking for a shady place. Of the In the same way, as radiation decreases, the band will return to gradually recover its original color, indicating to the user that The risk has disappeared.

It should be noted that optionally, the one described band, besides being able to incorporate any type of element decorative or distinctive, fixed to it by systems conventional, you can incorporate the aforementioned impregnation layer lightning detector in its entirety or only in one or more parts of it, being able to cover, for example, only its part front, several stripes or sections of said part, etc. and adopt said areas different shapes or drawings, leaving the rest of the band lacking it.

The new UV detector band represents, therefore, an innovative structure of features structural and constitutive unknown so far for such end, reasons that together with its practical utility, endow it with sufficient basis to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

Description of the drawings

For a better interpretation of the invention, accompanies the present specification of some drawings in which a form of non-limiting example is illustrated realization of the UV detection band object of the invention, according to the principles of the claims.

In these drawings:

Figure number 1.- Shows a view of a exemplary embodiment of the band object of the invention, in the that the parts and elements of which it consists are appreciated, being in the represented example applied to a shirt and being a band with photochromic impregnation applied to all of it.

Figure number 2.- It is an extension of the detail A of the band indicated in figure 1, having represented in it schematically the photochromic material that incorporates

Figure number 3.- Shows another example of embodiment of the band, in which the impregnation layer of Photochromic material covers only certain areas of the same.

Description of an embodiment of the invention

In view of the commented figures and of according to the numbering adopted, you can see in them a exemplary embodiment of the invention comprising the parts that They are indicated in detail below.

Thus, as seen in Figure 1, the band (1) in question, consists of a substantially flat body, made of PVC or silicone, and waterproof, configuration plant elongated preferably rectangular, but that can adopt any other configuration, being intended to be placed, by conventional fixing systems, on garments, objects and accessories (2) (a shirt in the example represented).

Said band (1) presents the particularity of be provided with a layer of impregnation (3) of material Powdered photochromic applied to PVC or silicone material with which it is made, schematically represented in the figure 2, giving it the ability to act as a UV detector (ultraviolet), since the photochromic material of which it is composed reacts to being exposed to such rays causing their Color change.

It should be noted that optionally, the band detector (1), in addition to being able to incorporate any other type of decorative or distinctive element (4), fixed on it by conventional systems, you can incorporate the aforementioned layer of impregnation (3) lightning detector covering all of the same, as the example depicted in figure 1, or only  covering one or several parts of the band (1), being able to cover, by example, only its front part, some stripes or sections of said part, etc. and adopt these areas different shapes or drawings, being therefore other zones or parts (5) lacking said impregnation, as shown in figure 3.

Thus, when exposing the garment (2) or element to which the band (1) has been fixed to the sun, the zone or zones equipped with the described impregnation layer (3), will change color alerting the user of its exposure to UV rays.

As a result of such exposure, the color tone of this impregnation layer (3), which will be colorless, white or very soft, will gradually acquire different types of shades, by way of example (violet, blue, orange, red, etc.), which will increase in intensity as the exposure continues while, as the radiation, will slowly recover its original color.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, not it is considered necessary to extend its explanation so that any subject matter expert understands its scope and advantages that derive from it, stating that, within its essentiality, may be implemented in other forms of embodiment that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and which will also achieve the protection that collects as long as it does not alter, change or modify its principle fundamental.

Claims (3)
