Further, as the light emitting material, a reflective material that directly diffuses and reflects the received light can be used, and as the reflective material, for example, polyhedral reflective beads made of glass, synthetic resin, etc. are used,
The light emitting region 7 can be formed on the outer surface by pasting the plurality of reflective beads with an adhesive or the like. In such a case, in order to prevent the adhesion from coming off due to bending of the covering part 2, a reinforcing plate 20 is installed on the inner surface of the covering part 2 as shown in FIG.
It is desirable to arrange the cover part 2, and the cover part 2 itself can be formed of a plate material made of metal, synthetic resin, etc., as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in the seventh figure, the tire cover 1 can be formed in the form of a case in which the cover body 5 is integrally made of, for example, synthetic resin, and the cover body 5 is attached to a mounting bracket 17 for attaching to the vehicle.
It can be removably attached using an appropriate retaining means. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, the tire cover of the present invention has a light emitting area formed using a light emitting material on the outer surface of the covering part of the cover body, so that the light emitting area can be identified by its light emitting action. It can greatly improve the appearance, increase the product value, and improve the advertising effect. Moreover, it has many effects, including helping to prevent rear-end collisions from following vehicles at night, greatly increasing driving safety.
