Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To prevent forgetting to turn on the power and forget to turn off the power and provide an energy-saving self-luminous safety vest. SOLUTION: L is attached to the front body 2 and the back body 6 of the vest body 1.
The EDs 4 and 8 are attached and the LEDs 4 and 8 are automatically caused to emit light when the brightness sensor 10 detects the darkness of the surroundings. In addition, the power switch circuit is closed only when the hook 13 of the vest body 1 is fastened, and the LED is lit.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a self-luminous safety vest worn by a worker, a person who performs traffic control, a police officer, or the like in order to ensure safety of work performed at night.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In order to ensure the safety of night work, workers wear safety vests on work clothes. There are two types of safety vests, one is a type that reflects light from a headlight and the other is a self-luminous type in which a light-emitting body such as an LED or an EL is made to emit light by a battery. The present invention relates to the light emitting type, but the conventional self-luminous type of this kind has the following drawbacks.

1. Since the power switch is attached separately, this switch operation is troublesome and sometimes I forget to turn on the switch. 2. Even at night, the illuminator may emit light and drain the battery in spite of the bright surroundings. 3. If the battery runs out, there may not be a spare.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem imposed on the present invention is that a self-luminous safety vest that does not require switch operation one by one, does not work in a bright place even at night, and does not become inoperable due to battery exhaustion. Is to provide.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention solves the above problems by the following means. 1. A self-luminous safety vest that consists of a fastener that holds the seam when worn as a light source power switch. 2. The self-luminous safety vest according to the above 1, wherein the luminous body emits light in a constant darkness by inserting a brightness sensor switch in series with the power switch.

[0006] 3. 3. The self-luminous safety vest as described in 1 or 2 above, wherein the luminous body is an LED or an EL. 4. The self-luminous safety vest according to 1 or 2 or 3, wherein the fastener is a hook. 5. The self-luminous safety vest according to 1 or 2 or 3, wherein the fastener is a hook. 6. 6. The self-luminous safety vest according to 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5, which has a spare battery pocket in part. 7. The self-luminous safety vest according to 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 having a detachable spare battery case.

[0007]

[Action]

 With the safety vest, when you put your hand through the vest and fasten the joints with hooks, hooks, etc., one switch in the power supply circuit of the light emitter is controlled to be turned on. However, when the brightness of the surroundings is constant, the other switch is in the OFF state and the light emitter does not emit light. On the other hand, when the surroundings become dark, for example, when the automobile lights up the headlights, the brightness sensor is activated to control the OFF switch to ON. As a result, the power supply circuit is closed and the illuminator attached to the vest emits light, and the presence of the worker is informed to the car, audible, bicycle, etc., and the accident such as collision is prevented in advance.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In the present invention, the shape and material of the vest are not particularly limited. Moreover, the mounting position of the light emitting body (LED / EL) mounted on the vest is not particularly limited, but it is necessary to mount it on the front body and the back body in order to secure front and rear safety. However, the number and size are arbitrary, and the number and size are selected according to the visibility and the battery capacity.

As the power source, a dry battery or other small battery can be used, and this type is also optional. Considering portability, it is not possible to use a power supply with a large capacity, and in the case of night work, it is often an overnight work, so the battery consumption is severe. Therefore, according to the present invention, a pocket for storing a spare battery is built in a part of the vest. Alternatively, there is a spare battery case that can be attached to and detached from the vest.

【Example】

 An embodiment of a safety vest according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Reference numeral 1 is a safety vest body, 2 is a front body of a front fitting type, a reflection sheet 2 is attached to the front body 2 in a V shape, and a chip type LED 4 is attached to this surface. . The LED 4 is covered with a transparent protective cover 5 so as not to get wet or dirty with rain, dust or the like.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a rear body, and the rear body 6 also has a V-shaped reflection sheet 7 and an LED 8 mounted on this surface as in the front body 2 and covered with a transparent protective cover 9. ing. Reference numeral 10 is a brightness sensor attached to the upper part of the front body 2, 11 is a battery case, 12 is a battery, and 13 is a hook for fastening the vest body 1 at the waist. This hook 13 is shown in FIG. As described above, the side of the pin 13a is +, and the side of the spring 13b is −, which also serves as a power switch for electrically connecting the pin 13a and the spring 13b.

FIG. 3 shows an electric circuit. The LED 8 as the light emitting body, the brightness sensor 10, and the battery 12 are connected in a series circuit, and when the hook 13 is stopped, the power is turned on and the brightness sensor 10 has a constant darkness. When this is detected, the brightness sensor switch 10a is turned on to close the circuit and the LED 8 emits light. When the hook 13 is removed, the power is turned off and the LED 8 is extinguished, or when the surrounding brightness becomes constant, the brightness sensor switch 10a is turned on. The LED 8 goes out and the LED 8 goes out. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 14 is a spare battery pocket for storing the battery 12a.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the safety vest according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it has the following effects. 1. If you fasten the vest, the power will be turned on, so you do not have to operate the switch one by one, which is convenient and you will not forget to turn on the switch or forget to turn it off.

[0014] 2. The brightness sensor automatically reacts to the brightness of the surroundings to cause the light-emitting body to emit or extinguish light, so that the battery is not wasted. 3. Since you can carry a spare battery, you do not have to worry about running out of battery.
