Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an illuminating device to be mounted on a seat belt for facilitating attachment and detachment of a vehicle seat belt.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, many measures have been taken to ensure that a seat belt can be worn securely for the wearer. However, since the buckle portion is made of a material such as metal and resin, the attachment and detachment operation must be performed. No device with a light emitting means for illuminating has been made.

[0003]

This has the following disadvantages. I. In darkness at night or indoors, the buckle of the seatbelt is difficult to see because the buckle is difficult to see, it is difficult to attach and remove with the help of people, and the inside light is turned on when attaching and removing was there. B. 2. Description of the Related Art In an automobile, a user sometimes forgets to turn off a vehicle interior light used for attaching and detaching operation, which may cause the battery to run down. The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks.

[0004]

At the front end of the front surface, there is a light bulb (2) surrounded by a lighting cover (1) and serving as a light source for illuminating the seat belt attaching / detaching operation so that it can be seen. There is a switch (5) for turning on the light bulb (2), a battery (4) surrounded by a battery cover (3) serving as a power supply on the back side, and a belt (7) on the buckle insertion device side of the seat belt. Then, a mounting tool (6) for mounting so as to cover the surface of the belt (7) is formed. The present invention is a seatbelt lighting device having the above configuration.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. It is a box type with almost the same width as the seat belt. A light bulb (2) serving as a light source for illuminating the detachable operation and a lighting cover (1) for covering and protecting the light bulb (2) are formed at the front end portion on the front side. B. A switch (5) such as a push button for turning on the light bulb (2) is formed on the upper surface side. C. A battery (4) as a power source and a battery cover (3) for covering and protecting the battery (4) are formed on the back surface. D. On the back surface, a mounting device (6) for attaching to the belt (7) on the buckle insertion device side of the seat belt so as to cover the surface of the belt (7) is formed. The present invention has the above configuration. When using the present invention, the light bulb (2) is turned on when the wearer of the seat belt presses the switch (5) provided at the top of the device of the present invention.
Therefore, the seat belt can be attached and detached while the buckle is visually recognized by the illuminated lighting. Further, when the wearer of the seat belt releases his / her hand from the switch (5), the light bulb (2) is turned off. In this technology of turning on and off, each time the switch (5) is pressed, a method of switching between ON and OFF is used.
There are various other possibilities. Also, to prevent theft,
In a case where the device is left unused for a while, the device can be slid from the seat belt and stored in a position hard to be seen by others, or removed from the belt and stored. As shown in FIG. 3, as a second embodiment, a form in which the seat belt is integrated and fixed to the buckle part may be adopted. As shown in FIG. 4, as a third embodiment, the switch (5) may be provided on the side surface. Other power supply may be used without wiring the battery (4) and wiring to the seat belt. The present invention is not limited to automobiles, and may be a lighting device for seat belts of other vehicles such as airplanes and playground equipment.

[0006]

By using the present invention, the buckle can be visually recognized by the illuminated light so that the buckle can be visually recognized by the user wearing the seat belt at the time of putting on and taking off at night or indoors, so that the seat belt can be easily worn. This eliminates the hassle of groping, the need for human assistance, and turning on the interior lights as in the past. Further, since it is not necessary to turn on the interior light in a car, the battery does not run out due to forgetting to turn off the light.
