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, and a switch connected to a pressure sensor that operates by detecting 120% or more of the power source and body pressure is embedded in the sole, A shoe with a light in which a lamp is arranged on the surface of the shoe through a wire is proposed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-96205.

The former, however, 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. In the latter, the pressure sensor is set to 20% or more of the weight of the heel when the wearer stands up, and the weight of the wearer varies from person to person. Depending on the body weight pressure, the switch may be on or off, and you may not be able to expect a sufficient effect.Because weight pressure is not applied to the heel when riding a bicycle, the switch is off. There was a drawback that the lamp did not light up in the state. Further, in such a shoe with a light, since the outer surface of the shoe and the heel portion of the sole are connected by a lead wire, water may invade into the shoe to impair the feeling of wearing, power source, pressure sensitive There was a defect that the sensor and the switch were damaged, and there was a problem in durability.

The gist of the invention is a light-emitting shoe that is characterized in that the other end face 42 is exposed toward the rear of the shoe sole 2.

In this invention, the tilt sensor 121 is
It is a metal, which is physically, electrically, and magnetically sensitive to inclination, and is, for example, physically inserted into an insulating tube 1211 made of glass or the like, and senses the inclination of the tube 1212 to allow rolling. The switch 12 is composed of a conductor 1212 such as a sphere or mercury, and the switch 12 includes contacts 122, 122 exposed at appropriate positions on the inner wall surface of the tube 1211 and the conductor 12 described above.
12 and 12. It is designed so that when the conductor 1212 rolls in the pipe 1211 and contacts the contacts 122 and 122 when the pipe 1211 is inclined, the circuit is closed and the switch is turned on.

In this invention, the power source 11 and the tilt sensor
The switch 12 and the light emitting body 13 linked to the 121 are fixed to the substrate 10 and unitized to form the light emitting device 1. In this invention, the tilt sensor 121 is installed so that the switch 12 is turned off when the light emitting device 1 is held horizontally, that is, when the substrate 10 is held horizontally. Specifically, for example, as described above, the tilt sensor- 1
21 is composed of a tube 1211 and a conductor 1212 made of a metal ball, and the contacts 122 and 122 are connected to the tube 121.
1, the tube 1211 is installed on the base 10 with the tube 1211 inclined so that the front part of the tube 1211 is slightly higher than the rear part.
If the shoe is horizontally embedded in the shoe sole 2, the switch is turned off in the state where the shoe is stored horizontally or the standing shoe with the shoe inside is horizontal, so that the durability of the power source can be remarkably improved. .

In this invention, the light collecting plastic material 4
Is a transparent material such as an acrylic resin or a polycarbonate resin, or a fluorescent material such as a fluorescent pigment or a fluorescent dye dispersed in a transparent medium, which is formed into a linear shape, a plate shape, or a film shape. The incident light is absorbed by the fluorescent substance from 40, and the incident light is emitted as fluorescence with a longer wavelength, and reflected light almost equal to this is added and emitted, and these lights are confined in the plastic material by total reflection. Light that is condensed on the cut surface 41 or that is incident from the cut one end surface 41 is emitted to the other end surface 42. Such a light collecting plastic material 4 is manufactured by, for example, Fibernics Co., Ltd. It is commercially available as Diana Plate and Diana Film.

In the present invention, the unitized light emitting device 1 is provided in the heel portion or the like of the shoe sole 2, and the side wall 31 thereof is set in the storage chamber 3 formed of transparent synthetic resin. Then, the cut one end surface 41 of the light collecting plastic material 4 is located adjacent to the transparent side wall 31, and the light collecting plastic material 4 passes through the outer peripheral portion of the storage chamber 3 provided in the shoe sole 2 and the outer sole. The other end surface 42, which is cut out to the outer peripheral side surface of the shoe, is exposed toward the rear of the shoe sole. In this invention, it is convenient if the transparent side wall 31 of the storage chamber 3 is integrally formed as a part of the shoe sole when molding the shoe sole.

In this invention, the light collecting plastic material 4
In the case where the shoe is made of a linear material, a hole 21 is formed in the shoe sole 2 on the side surface of the shoe sole and reaches the transparent side wall 31 of the storage chamber 3, and the side surface of the shoe sole follows the shape of the light collecting plastic material 4. Groove 22
If the and are provided, the one end surface 41 of the linear light-collecting plastic material 4 is inserted into the hole 21, and the light-collecting plastic material 4 is fitted into the groove 22 formed in the side surface of the shoe sole, and the side surface of the shoe sole. If the end surface 42 is exposed to the rear, the mounting is easy. If the side surface 40 of the linear light-collecting plastic material 4 exposed on the side surface of the shoe sole is provided with dot-like cuts 401, 401, the cut 4
Even 01 and 401 parts can emit light, which is safer than wearing them. In this case, if the linear light-collecting plastic material 4 is covered with the transparent synthetic resin tube 4 ', the durability can be remarkably improved without damaging the light-collecting plastic material 4 during wearing. In addition, the inner peripheral surface of the transparent synthetic resin tube 4'becomes a reflecting surface, which allows light to enter from one end surface thereof and emit light to the other end surface, and a part of the light reflected by the inner peripheral surface is transparent. It is also linearly discharged to the side surface through the resin pipe 4 '. Therefore, the wearer can be confirmed from the rear of the shoe sole and the lateral direction of the shoe sole, and safety and decorativeness can be improved. Further, the light-collecting plastic material 4 is made of a plate-like material, and is cut into a horseshoe shape along the shape of the heel of the shoe, and one end surface thereof, that is, the inner peripheral surface is brought into contact with a transparent seal material, and the like. If the end surface, that is, the outer peripheral surface is exposed on the heel side surface of the shoe sole and laminated on the heel side of the shoe sole, the entire outer peripheral side surface of the heel sole can emit light, which is safer than wearing.

[0011]

Since the invented shoe is constructed as described above, if the user wears it and walks, runs, or rides a bicycle, the shoe will incline during walking, running, or driving, and the sole of the shoe. The tilt sensor 121 of the light emitting device 1 embedded therein detects this, the switch 12 is reliably turned on and off repeatedly, the light emitting body 13 blinks, and the blinking light is passed through the transparent side wall 31 to collect the plastic material 4. The light is absorbed and absorbed by one end face 41 of the other end face of the other end face 4 of the light collecting plastic material 4.
2 can emit and emit light. Therefore, as in the conventional case, the driver can recognize the wearer from behind and is safe. In the daytime, the light-collecting plastic material 4 absorbs sunlight from its surface 40 even when the switch 12 is off,
In addition, since the light is emitted to the end face 42 and emitted, the shoe sole decoration effect can be enhanced. Further, the issuing device 1 has a transparent side wall 3
Since it is shielded from the outside of the shoe by 1, the light emission with excellent durability does not occur as in the conventional case, causing water to enter the storage chamber 3 or the shoe to reduce comfort and damage the light emitting device. Can provide shoes.
