It is characterized by being carried out.

Further, the present invention provides a glove having the above-mentioned features, wherein the wiring 4 between the contacts 4 ′ and 4 ″ and the power supply unit 3, the pulse circuit 3 ′, and the light source 2 and the power supply unit 3. It is also characterized in that the wiring 9 between the pulse circuits 3 'is made of a silver-plated thread.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 showing a preferred specific example of the glove having the light source of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the glove illustrated in FIG. 1, a light transmission medium 1 for emitting light from a light source (not shown) to the outside is provided on the back of the hand of the glove body. 1 is packaged and attached with a transparent resin sealing body 11 (transparent resin film in FIG. 1) having transparency, so that the inside can be seen from the outside. In the present invention, by using the resin sealing body 11 of various colors (for example, red, blue, green, etc.), or by coloring the light transmission medium 1 to various colors, the light transmission medium is generated by the light from the light source. When 1 emits light, light of various colors is emitted. The material of the light transmission medium 1 in the present invention is preferably polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a hot-melt adhesive thermoplastic material such as acrylic or urethane. Any material capable of transmitting light to the outside may be used, and the material is not limited to these. Of course, FIG. 1 shows an example of the present invention, and the light transmission medium 1 can be installed on any part of the glove body.

As shown in FIG. 2, the glove of the present invention has a light source (light emitting portion) 2 provided at a position where light can be transmitted to the light transmission medium 1 and an electric power supplied to the light source 2. A power supply unit 3 for supplying power and a switch 4 for turning on and off the light source 2 by controlling the power supply from the power supply unit 3 are provided. 2 is a pulse circuit for converting the power supply of the power supply unit 3 into a pulse power supply and transmitting it to the light source by controlling the switch 4, and such a pulse circuit. 3 'is provided for the purpose of exerting a flash effect of light. At the time of the first switch operation, a certain power supply and voltage are shut off so that the switch is operated in an ON / OFF state. A power supply, pulse circuit, and switch are configured. In the plan, the mounting positions of the contacts 4 ′ and 4 ″ of the switch 4 can be variously selected, and it may be any part of the tip side of the thumb and the other four fingers except the thumb, From the viewpoint of easy switch operation, it is preferable to provide contacts on the outer surfaces of the thumb portion 5 and the index finger portion of the glove.

In the glove of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, switch contacts 4 ″ and 4 ′ are provided at the tips of the thumb portion 5 and the index finger portion 6 of the glove body, and the light transmission medium 1 and the light source 2 are connected. The power supply and pulse circuit are provided at the back of the glove, and the power supply and pulse circuit are provided at the hand insertion part (entrance) 7 of the glove, and the contacts 4 ', 4 ", the power supply part 3, and the pulse circuit 3' are provided. A wire 8 is provided between the light source 2 and the power supply unit 3 and a pulse circuit 3 ', and a wire 9 is provided between the light source 2 and the pulse circuit 3'. When the glove user once connects the thumb and the index finger, the contacts are connected. It flashes when the thumb and forefinger are connected twice, and turns off when the thumb and forefinger are connected three times.

[0010] However, if wires and contacts are formed by using ordinary electric wires, when the user wears gloves, the feeling of the outline of the wires and contacts is directly transmitted, and the weight of the glove itself is reduced. The gloves of the present invention solve this problem by using silver thread (silver-plated thread) for the wiring and contact points because of the problem that the feeling of wearing becomes large and the feeling of wearing is reduced. . That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the fabric made using the silver-plated thread is provided on the outer surfaces of the thumb part 5 and the forefinger part 6 of the glove to make the contacts 4 ′ and 4 ″. The power supply 3 and the pulse circuit 3 'are connected through a wire 8 made of silver thread by the contact between the contacts, electricity flows through a wire 9 made of silver thread, and the light source 2 emits light. In the present invention, the light source 2 can be turned on / off by connecting a contact without providing a pulse circuit, and the light source 2 can be turned on (always on) / flashing / off. In addition to the stepwise control, if necessary, a control circuit can be added so that the lighting can be performed in various patterns. Switch in the same position as You may.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and the ones shown in the attached drawings, and various substitutions, modifications and changes can be made within the technical scope of the present invention. It is possible. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be determined not only by the above-described embodiments but also by the scope of the claims for utility model registration, as well as by the scope of the claims.
