DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, a belt-shaped horizontal reflector 3A is formed as a reflector 3 on the surface of the waist 7 of the vest body A, and the surface of the front part 8 and the rear part 9 of the vest body A is formed. The present invention is applied to a night light reflection vest in which a V-shaped reflecting portion 3B is formed as a V-shaped reflecting portion 3B in which a strip-shaped reflecting portion becomes narrower as the left-to-right facing distance decreases as going downward.

The vest body A is made of a mesh material having good air permeability. In the figure, reference numeral 12 denotes a chuck for opening the vest body A forward, and reference numeral 13 denotes a magic tape (trade name) which removably engages the left and right portions of the body peripheral portion 7. In this embodiment, this magic tape is used. By changing the engagement position of the thirteen, the size of the torso peripheral portion 7 can be adjusted and changed according to the size of the wearer.

In addition, the rear part 9 of the vest body A includes:
A band-shaped second horizontal reflector 3C is provided as the reflector 3 on the opposite V-shaped reflector 3B.

Each of the reflecting portions 3 (horizontal reflecting portions 3A,
The V-shaped reflecting portion 3B and the second horizontal reflecting portion 3C) are formed by laminating a vinyl-made reflecting material 1 having a diamond-cut shaped reflex reflection pattern on the back surface thereof on the surface of a vinyl backing sheet 2. A reflective sheet having the above configuration is employed, and the periphery of the reflective sheet is sewn to form a seam on the surface of the vest body A.

In this embodiment, the V-shaped reflecting portion 3B
And a fixture 5 employing eyelets for the horizontal reflector 3A.
A plurality of luminous bodies 6 are interspersed and formed via eyelets 5 (hereinafter referred to as eyelets 5), and a power source 10 for shining the luminous bodies 6 is provided on the back ground of the vest body A.

Specifically, eyelets 5 are provided at a plurality of locations on the left and right sides of the horizontal reflector 3A located on the waist circumference 7 of the vest body A, and at a plurality of locations on the V-shaped reflectors 3B before and after the vest body A. A light-emitting body 6 such as an LED is locked and fixed to the eyelets 5.

On the other hand, a bag 11 for accommodating a power source 10 is attached to the back surface of the front part 8 of the vest body A, and the light source 6 and the power source 10 such as a dry battery stored in the bag 11 are connected to each other. Electrically connected.

The dotted lines shown in FIG. 4 simply explain the connection structure between each light emitter 6 and a power supply 10 having a control circuit.

Therefore, the V-shaped reflecting portions 3 around the vest body A
B, the luminous body 6 shines in the front-back direction of the wearer, and the horizontal reflector 3A located on the waist circumference 7 of the vest body A
Since the luminous body 6 arranged on the left and right side surfaces of the radiator shines in the left-right direction of the wearer, it emits signaling light in almost all directions around the wearer, and approaches the wearer from any direction. The driver of the vehicle can visually recognize the signal radiance very well, thereby exhibiting excellent safety and practicality.

Conventionally, there has been provided a light-emitting body which emits a signal light toward the wearer's left-right direction at the shoulder of the waistcoat body. As shown in FIG. 6, the luminous bodies 6 are scatteredly formed on the horizontal reflecting portion 3A of the body peripheral portion 7 which is easily illuminated by the vehicle light radiated diagonally downward in front of the vehicle. Since the signal radiance of the luminous bodies 6 on the left and right of the peripheral portion 7 is illuminated by the lights of the vehicle, visibility superior to the above-described conventional structure can be obtained. Therefore, even when the vehicle approaches from the left and right directions, it is difficult to find the vest body A wearer because there are few visible reflective surfaces,
It will have an excellent traffic accident prevention effect.

In this embodiment, the inner side of the sewing portion 4 of the reflector 3 (horizontal reflector 3A, V-shaped reflector 3B, second horizontal reflector 3C), the horizontal reflector 3A and the V-shaped reflector are provided. Part 3B
A waterproof structure 14 having a structure in which the reflector 1 and the backing material sheet 2 are polymerized and adhered and sealed is provided on the outer side of the peripheral portion of the attachment 5 scattered in the space.

More specifically, at this position, the reflection material 1 is simply heat-welded to the backing material sheet 2 so that the backing material sheet 2 and the reflection material 1 are polymerized and sealed.

Therefore, the waterproof structure 14 prevents water droplets from entering the gap between the reflector 1 and the backing sheet 2, so that the original brilliant performance of the reflector 3 is impaired even when used in rainy weather. Without it, it becomes a very practical and high commercial value luminous reflection vest.

Further, since a waterproof structure is adopted in which the reflecting portion 3 is simply welded to the backing material sheet 2 simply, the luminous reflection vest has an excellent configuration which can be provided very easily and inexpensively.

[0025]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the bright shine of the horizontal reflector or the V-shaped reflector and the bright of the illuminator in the front-rear and left-right directions of the vest body can be used as a signal shine. Because it can emit light, it can satisfactorily alert the driver of the vehicle approaching the vest body wearer from almost all directions and is very useful for preventing traffic accidents.In addition, the vehicle on the left and right sides of the vest body Since the luminous body is scatteredly formed on the horizontal reflection part of the trunk circumference that is easily illuminated by the light of the vehicle illuminated diagonally downward in front, the wearer of the waistcoat was discovered because there are few visible reflective surfaces An excellent configuration that gives excellent visibility by illuminating the signal radiance of the illuminating body around the torso with the light of the vehicle even when approaching the vehicle from the left and right direction that seems to be difficult Luminous reflection cho Key become.
