JP3076644U - Button that emits light - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] The light emitting button of the present invention prevents various dangers in a dark place and protects people's safety by emitting light when worn on clothes. A button is manufactured by a molding machine using a material obtained by kneading a nocturnal luminous paint in a thermoplastic synthetic resin.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a button that absorbs light and emits light in a dark place.

[0002]

[Prior art]

[0003] Luminescent luminous paints have been around for a long time, and their applications are widely used for switches of lighting equipment, safety signs, disaster prevention signs, dials of clocks and instruments, stationery, toys, and the like. Buttons have been used daily since ancient times for clothing, bags, bags, shoes, handicrafts, and the like, and their materials range from metal, glass, jewelry, leather, synthetic resin, pottery, and shellfish. Conventional glowing buttons include those that knead or apply aluminum or fish scale powder to these materials and reflect them under the light of the sun or the moon or lighting.However, they absorb light and emit light by themselves. There was no button aimed at preventing people from various dangers in the dark.

The principle of light emission of the luminous luminous pigment repeats light absorption, light emission, absorption, and light emission. Conventional phosphorescent luminous pigments are mainly of zinc sulfide type, but recently developed phosphorescent luminous pigments of aluminate compounds have an afterglow, that is, light emission time, compared to zinc sulfide type. It is several steps long and has excellent light resistance. A typical phosphorescent luminous pigment of this aluminate compound is commercially available under the trade name Luminova as N Luminescent by Nemoto Special Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0005] As a safety tool in the dark place, especially when commuting to school or commuting at night, it is applied to a wristband, a flashlight or a hat, a school bag, shoes, a bicycle, etc. coated with a reflective tape or a luminous luminous pigment. I have. At night, they wear work clothes with light-emitting diode lights and reflective tape.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The various types of safety equipment used for the above-mentioned safety measures are forgotten to wear or carry, and the carrying itself is troublesome and easy to lose. It is unavoidable that this tendency is unavoidable. Elderly people also tend not to like their mobile phones. As a result, the number of accidents involving elderly people and traffic accidents involving children is increasing year by year. When a flashlight runs out of batteries, it can not be used in an emergency.

[0007] In large cities, many lights, neon signs, many car headlights, etc. are bright until late at night and do not feel inconvenience or danger. However, in rural areas, the surrounding area is often dark when one step outside the downtown area.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0008] Buttons, which are members familiar to clothes, food, and household clothes, which are the three main elements of life, are manufactured using a material obtained by kneading a luminescent phosphorescent pigment in a synthetic resin. By putting the button on clothes and emitting light, people can be provided with safety in dark places.

There are various methods for treating the luminous luminous pigment, such as kneading, painting, and printing. However, due to the nature of the application, kneading into a synthetic resin that can withstand friction such as washing or cloth, that is, a kneading method. Is desirable. In the method of painting or printing, problems such as peeling of the paint occur.

The luminous time of a conventional zinc sulfide type luminous pigment is as short as one-tenth that of an aluminate compound, and the light-fastness is significantly reduced. The shiny button of the present invention has made it possible to manufacture a button that fully satisfies the function by developing an aluminate chloride phosphorescent luminous pigment.

[Embodiment of the invention]

A material obtained by kneading a powdery aluminate compound phosphorescent luminous pigment and a thermoplastic synthetic resin is molded into a product by an injection molding machine to which a button mold is previously attached. Attach the button that emits light to various clothes.

【Example】

The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a light emitting button is attached to a women's outerwear 2. The button 1a can be worn on a collar or a sleeve and emits light in a dark place, which has a one-point decorative effect.

[Effect of the invention]

[0013] The various types of safety equipment used for conventional safety measures are often worn or forgotten to carry, and are troublesome and easy to lose. The button that emits light according to the present invention can be worn naturally and without resistance by wearing everyday clothing, and it can emit light by itself without the need for batteries or other energy. This has the effect of making the behavior of people in the dark and at night safe.

Nowadays, Japan is an aging society, and the number of accidents while the elderly are getting lost while walking and wandering is increasing year by year. The buttons that glow in the dark place enable early detection of family and police searches when they fall down in the fields, forests, or corners of residential areas at night, and survive in the severe winter months. The effect of saying is considered.

[0015] In winter, darkness is early, and lower grade children who are late in cram school and club activities prevent accidents with bicycles and cars, and girls students get off vehicles such as trains, The button that absorbs light and emits bright light also has the effect of suppressing behavior from thugs on the way home on the night road.

In particular, when worn on the collar or sleeve of a blouse of a female student, the button that emits light in a dark place becomes a one-point decorative item, and it can be a pleasant mood.
