JPH06158412A - Helmet cover made of fluorescent resin - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a helmet cover for raising safety of operator at a site of construction, made of a transparent resin mixed with fluorescent dye, being fitted to the surface of a helmet and used, capable of emitting light rays from the fluorescent dye with extraneous light, condensing and diffusing reflected light rays. CONSTITUTION:A helmet cover 11 is obtained by blending a transparent resin such as acrylic resin or polycarbonate with a fluorescent coating material of colorless or colored fluorescent dye or pigment and molding the resin into a cover shape, attached to the outer peripheral face of a main body of a helmet 1 with a rivet and used. The end face of the peripheral part of the helmet cover 11 has constitution of projecting outside or the peripheral edge part and the outside peripheral face are finished in rough surface as if abraded with sand paper, diffused lights are made more radiant and an engraved sculpture or a mark 13 pasted with a seal such as a painting sheet, e.g., silk printing is made on the helmet cover so that incident light is irregularly reflected to further raise discrimination.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a helmet cover to be mounted on a helmet used by a worker at a work site such as civil engineering work and construction work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional helmet structure used for improving the safety of construction workers, for example, FIGS.
There is something like.

That is, reference numeral 1 denotes a resin helmet main body, inside of which a shock absorbing liner 2 composed of a belt is attached by rivets 3, and further on both sides of the helmet main body 1. Each chin strap 4 is attached.

[0004]

However, in such a conventional helmet structure, since no brightness means is provided, for example, in a work place in a dark place or a dim place, the helmet There is a problem in that there are many cases in which accidents due to civil engineering machinery or traffic accidents due to nighttime road construction are encountered due to the unclear location of the adherend.

[0005]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and a fluorescent substance is mixed into the outside of the main body of the helmet so that the helmet cover can be protected by receiving external light. It is an object of the present invention to provide a helmet cover made of fluorescent resin capable of radiating light from the inner surface and the front edge of the helmet cover to improve the identification effect.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, reference numeral 11 denotes a helmet cover according to the present embodiment.
Has a shape and size that can be attached to the entire outer peripheral surface of the helmet body 1 having a well-known structure.

The material of the helmet cover 11 is a fluorescent resin made by mixing a transparent or transparent resin such as acrylic, polycarbonate, styrene or vinyl chloride with a fluorescent substance which is a colorless or colored fluorescent dye or pigment. The helmet cover 11 is attached (fixed) to the outer peripheral surface of the helmet body 1 by a mounting means such as a rivet 12, for example.

As described above, in the present embodiment, a helmet cover made of translucent fluorescent resin that can be attached and attached to the entire outer peripheral surface of the main body of a general-purpose helmet is molded. It is used by being attached to the helmet body. Further, the helmet cover 11 has a structure in which the end face of the peripheral edge portion is exposed to the outside or the peripheral edge portion and the outer peripheral surface are roughened like sanded with a paper file so that the emitted light is more shining.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a part of the inner surface of the fluorescent resin helmet cover 11 is painted and cut by engraving, silk printing or the like. The helmet cover 11 has a structure in which a mark such as a sheet is attached. The helmet cover 11 diffuses light incident on the helmet cover and the mark 13 can be used as a bright sign. Higher identification and higher visibility reduce accidents during work. Also, by putting the company name, group name, etc. as the mark 13 on the engraving, printing, or cutting sheet, an easy and effective advertising effect can be obtained.

[0011]

As described above, the present invention is
A helmet cover made of a fluorescent resin, which is made of a translucent resin mixed with a fluorescent dye and which is mounted on the surface of the helmet and can collect and diffuse secondary emission and reflected light from the fluorescent dye from the periphery. Therefore, according to this, the light incident on the helmet cover is secondarily emitted by the fluorescent substance inside the cover, and the emitted light is totally reflected on the front and back of the helmet cover and condensed on the peripheral portion to be diffused. However, the location of the worker wearing this helmet cover is clarified, and the effect of preventing injury accidents can be obtained.
