Description

  The present invention relates to a reflector with a band that can be worn on a hand and visually recognized from the rear and side.

Traditionally, cycling races such as Tour de France have been held all over the world, running through a rough and uneven course with a height difference, such as mountainous areas and flat areas, with teams of several people competing for time. In general, it is possible to equip a bicycle or a motorcycle with a rearview mirror in the vicinity of a handle for backward confirmation. However, competition bicycles such as road racers are drop handles, the height of the handle is lower than the saddle, and the total weight is reduced to about 10 kg to 8 kg in order to enable high speed running. . Therefore, it is not realistic to equip these racing bicycles with a rearview mirror.
On the other hand, even in snowboards, skis, and the like that do not have means for fixing the rearview mirror, it is necessary to check the rear or side runner during the run to prevent a collision. Then, the band with a mirror wound around the wrist part of a sport glove is proposed (refer to patent documents 1).
On the other hand, in Tour de France that competes over 3000 km for 27 days, long distance triathlon that competes for the third event such as swimming (3.8 km), motorcycle (180 km), full marathon (42.195 km), etc. If you do this, your hands will be painful and paralyzed, so you will be wearing gloves with thick vibration absorbers and air cushions. However, if a cushion or the like is arranged, it is difficult for the hand traveling on the mountain slope to enter force. Therefore, a multi-function glove has been proposed in which a cushion is detachably coupled to the palm of the glove, and a mirror mounting surface is provided on the wrist side, and a mirror sheet that can be folded in a triangle to form a triangle is coupled to the back of the hand ( Patent Document 2).

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
[First embodiment]
1-3 is a figure which shows the reflective mirror with a band of 1st Embodiment, FIG. 1 is a top view, FIG. 2 is a bottom view, FIG. 3 is a side view.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the reflecting mirror 1 with the band of the first embodiment includes a triangular prism member 2 having three rectangular surfaces and a fastening band fixed to one rectangular surface of the triangular prism member 2. 3, a cushion (corresponding to an elastic member of the present invention) 5 covering a rectangular surface to which the fastening band 3 is fixed, and a rectangular surface of the triangular prism member 2 other than the rectangular surface to which the fastening band 3 is fixed There are two rectangular members 6 fixed to the two rectangular surfaces and formed with reflecting mirrors (plane mirror M and convex mirror N).
The triangular prism member 2 is a hollow plastic member having a first rectangular surface 2a having the largest area, a second rectangular surface 2b having the next largest area, and a third rectangular surface 2c having the smallest area. However, it is not necessarily required to be made of plastic, and may be made of wood, made of metal such as aluminum or stainless steel, or may have a rich interior.
The fastening band 3 is obtained by processing a material such as cloth, leather, synthetic leather, synthetic rubber, or plastic into a belt shape, and is fixed to the second rectangular surface 2b of the triangular prism member 2 in the length direction of the triangular prism member 2. The male and female surface fasteners (corresponding to the locking members of the present invention) 7a and 7b are provided at both ends. Then, by engaging the male and female surface fasteners 7a and 7b on the palm side, the reflector 1 with the band can be fixed to the back of the hand with the gloves. In addition, although the fastening band 3 of this embodiment uses the synthetic rubber which can be expanded-contracted as a raw material in order to make it fit with a hand firmly, it is not necessarily limited to this.
Here, the rectangular surface to which the fastening band 3 is fixed is smaller than the area of the part formed by the width of the four fingers excluding the thumb of the hand and the length from the root of the four fingers to the wrist. Thus, the size of the triangular prism member is adjusted. Therefore, if the fastening band 3 is fixed to the second rectangular surface 2b, the size of the triangular prism member 2 can be made larger than when the fastening band 3 is fixed to the first rectangular surface 2a. The overall size of the reflecting mirror 1 can be increased. Note that the fastening band 3 does not need to be formed of a single member, and can be a second rectangular surface as long as it is firmly fixed to the triangular prism member 2 and has a length that allows both ends to engage with each other on the palm side. Two belt-like members can be fixed separately on both sides of 2b. Moreover, although the fastening band 3 of this embodiment is being fixed to the 2nd rectangular surface 2b of the triangular prism member 2, you may fix to the 1st rectangular surface 2a or the 3rd rectangular surface 2c. Furthermore, although the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 7a and 7b are installed in both ends, the fastening member 3 of this embodiment does not necessarily need to be a hook-and-loop fastener, for example, even if it is a male and female hook, The protrusion member and the hole through which the protrusion member passes may be used.
The cushion 5 is made of, for example, urethane or sponge having a size covering the entire rectangular surface to which the fastening band 3 is fixed. The cushion 5 is attached to the hand to make a fist. Or a member that expands and contracts in accordance with the movement of the hand is used so that the movement of the hand that opens the fist is not restricted.

4 and 5 are a front view and a plan view of a rectangular member on which a mirror surface is formed, FIG. 4 shows a rectangular member on which a plane mirror is formed, and FIG. 5 shows a rectangular member on which a convex mirror is formed. .
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rectangular member 6 has the same size as the first rectangular surface 2 a of the triangular prism member 2 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and a first rectangle in which a plane mirror M is formed on one surface. It has a member 6a and a second rectangular member 6b having the same size as the third rectangular surface 2c and having a convex mirror N formed on one surface. The material is plastic such as acrylic resin or polycarbonate, or aluminum or stainless steel. The mirror surfaces of the plane mirror M and the convex mirror N are formed by plating or vapor-depositing metal on these materials to form a metal film. The The first rectangular member 6a and the second rectangular member 6b are joined in a mountain shape with the mirror surface outside, and the back surface is bonded to the first rectangular surface 2a and the third rectangular surface 2c of the triangular prism member 2 with an adhesive. Thus, a reflecting mirror (plane mirror M and convex mirror N) is formed.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a usage example of the reflector with a band according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 6, in the reflector 1 with a band of the present embodiment, the second rectangular surface 2b has a width of the four fingers excluding the thumb of the hand and from the root of the four fingers to the wrist. The area is smaller than the area formed by the length. Therefore, when the reflector with band 1 of the present embodiment is attached to, for example, a glove worn on the left hand, the third rectangular surface 2c on which the convex mirror N having the smallest area of the triangular prism member 2 is formed is directed toward the fingertip side. The second rectangular surface 2b that does not appear in the figure covered with the cushion is applied to the back of the glove. Then, the distal end of the fastening band 3 is turned from the little finger side and the index finger side to the palm side which does not appear in the figure, and the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 7a and 7b at the distal end are engaged and fixed.
Here, although the plane mirror M and the convex mirror N are used as the reflecting mirror of the present embodiment, the convex mirror N is not necessarily used, and the two reflecting mirrors may be the plane mirror M. The male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 7a and 7b are provided at the front end of the fastening band 3. However, the locking member is not necessarily the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 7a and 7b. It may be a hole through which the member and the protruding member penetrate.
Furthermore, the band-equipped reflecting mirror 1 of the present embodiment forms the reflecting mirror on the first rectangular surface 2a having the largest area and the third rectangular surface 2c having the smallest area. A reflecting mirror may be formed on the third rectangular surface, a band may be fixed to the first rectangular surface having the largest area, and the first rectangular surface may be applied to the back of the hand.
