Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shoe with a light collecting plastic material.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a special reflection sheet is attached to a side surface or a heel portion of a shoe to receive light from an automobile headlight and reflect the light so that a driver of the automobile recognizes the reflected light. , Shoes designed for the safety of the wearer or shoes equipped with a lighting device are generally known. However, the former has a drawback that the reflected light cannot be emitted depending on the angle at which the light of the headlight is received because the reflected light is emitted only after receiving the light of the headlight of the automobile. Further, the latter has a drawback that the structure is complicated and the cost is high because a lighting issuing device and a power switch must be attached.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention absorbs light from all directions and emits light to recognize the presence of the wearer, improve the traffic safety of the wearer, and are economical and excellent in decorative effect. It is intended to provide shoes.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a light-collecting plastic material 2 is provided around an outer peripheral side surface 10 of a shoe 1 with its surface 20 exposed, and a cutting surface 21 at a rear end thereof is provided on a heel portion of the shoe. The subject of the invention is a shoe with a light-collecting plastic material, which is exposed to the rear side on the side surface 101.

In the present invention, the light collecting plastic material 2
Is a linear plate or film formed by dispersing a fluorescent material such as a fluorescent pigment or a fluorescent dye in a transparent medium such as an acrylic resin or a polycarbonate resin.
Incident light is more absorbed by the fluorescent substance, and the incident light is radiated as light having a longer wavelength, and a considerable part of the incident light is confined in the plastic material by total reflection and condensed on the cut surface 21. And such a light collecting plastic material 2
Is commercially available as, for example, Diana Fiber, Diana Plate, and Diana Film from Fibernics Co., Ltd.

The light-collecting plastic material 2 is mounted around the outer peripheral side surface 10 of the shoe 1 such as the side surface of the shoe sole or the side surface of the shoe sole. If the recessed portion 12 is provided so as to be surrounded by the side surface, the light-collecting plastic material 2 can be fitted in the recessed portion 12 in series after the shoe sole is molded, so that the mounting is easy and the light from all directions can be easily received. The cut surface 2 of the shoe exposed on both sides 101.101 of the heel of the shoe.
Since the light can be condensed to 1.21, ... In this case, multiple recesses 12.12 ...
Are provided, and the side faces of the sole can be made rich in color by the light-collecting plastic materials 2.2 having different colors in these recesses 12.12. In this invention, if a plate-shaped or film-shaped light-collecting plastic material is cut into strips and the cut surfaces are also exposed on the upper and lower surfaces thereof, the upper and lower cut surfaces can also emit light so that a decorative effect can be obtained. It can be further improved.

In the present invention, the light collecting plastic material 2
Is attached to the outer peripheral side surface 10 of the shoe 1 by appropriate means such as adhesion, sewing, fitting, and locking.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the light-collecting plastic material 2 is provided so as to be exposed on the outer peripheral side surface of the shoe 1 so as to surround it, a wide range of light is absorbed from the surface 20, and the cut surface thereof is cut. Since the light is focused on 21 and emits light, it is safe for the driver of the vehicle to recognize the wearer from behind without directly receiving the headlight of the vehicle as in the conventional case. Further, unlike the conventional case, there is no need to attach a light emitting device for lighting, a power source, etc., and the structure is simple and economical. In addition, in the daytime, sunlight rays are absorbed from the surface of the light-collecting plastic material, and the cut surface 21 thereof is condensed to emit light, so that a shoe with excellent decorativeness can be obtained.
