The light emitting covering with a hook previously developed by the present inventor is a special covering, and the light emitting device and the covering are integrated.
The design of the light emitting covering with a hook developed by the present inventor is limited.
That is, the light emitting covering with a hook developed by the present inventor is not suitable for abundant product lineup by changing the design, like a conventional covering without a light emitting diode.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to women and men, or children and adults, and regardless of the type of hat, cap, sun visor, helmet, etc. The main purpose is to provide.

Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to sell or use an existing covering which does not have a light emitting diode as a light emitting covering at a store or at the time of wearing.

Still another object of the present invention is to avoid burning even when a battery runs out during use in the dark of a light emitting covering provided with a photodiode and a battery.

The light emitter for covering according to the present invention has the following first features (a) to (f).
(A) The insertion piece 12 facing the inner surface 10 of the covering 11 and the protruding piece 13 protruding outside the covering intersect.
And these insertion piece 12 and the protrusion piece 13 are joined in those crossing locations 14. FIG.
(B) The intersection 14 draws a curved curve.
The curved curve drawn by the crossing portion 14 is continuous in the width direction of the insertion piece 12 and the protruding piece 13.
(C) A plurality of light emitting diodes 16 are arranged along the outer peripheral edge 15 of the protruding piece 13 protruding in a direction away from the insertion piece 12.
(D) A switch 19 that blinks the light emitting diode 16 is disposed on the back surface 20 of the protruding piece 13 that is the back side of the insertion piece 12.
(E) The light emitting diode 16 is embedded in the protruding piece 13.
(F) The bright spot 21 of the light emitting diode appears on the peripheral side surface 22 of the outer peripheral edge of the protruding piece 13.

The second feature of the light emitter for covering according to the present invention is that, in addition to the first feature, the replacement battery 23 for the light emitting diode is detachably disposed on the insertion piece 12.

The third feature of the light emitter for covering according to the present invention is that, in addition to any of the first and second features, the adhesive material 27 whose surface is coated with the release paper 26 is provided with the surface 24 of the protruding piece. And it exists in the point affixed on either the front 18 and the back surface 25 of an insertion piece.

According to a fourth feature of the light emitter for covering according to the present invention, in addition to any of the first, second, and third features, either the male surface fastener 28 or the female surface fastener 29 protrudes. It exists in the point attached to either the surface 18 of a piece, the front 18 of a plug piece, and the back 25.

The fifth feature of the light emitter for covering according to the present invention is that, in addition to the fourth feature, the following elements (g) to (i) are provided.
(G) A male surface fastener or female die corresponding to the male surface fastener or female surface fastener (28, 29) attached to either the front surface 24 of the protruding piece or the front surface 18 or the rear surface 25 of the insertion piece. The hook-and-loop fastener (28/29) is engaged with the male or female hook-and-loop fastener (28/29) attached to either the surface 24 of the protruding piece or the front face 18 or the rear face 25 of the insertion piece. It has been stopped.
(H) The adhesive 30 is locked to a male surface fastener or a female surface fastener (28, 29) attached to either the surface 24 of the protruding piece, the front surface 18 or the back surface 25 of the insertion piece. The back surface of the male surface fastener or female surface fastener (28, 29) is lined.
(I) The release paper 31 is coated with the backed layer of the adhesive material 30.

The illuminant of the present invention is composed of an insertion piece 12 and a protruding piece 13 that can be folded in two at an intersection 14 in appearance.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, if the insertion piece 12 is inserted between the headpiece to be worn and the forehead, the protruding piece 13 protrudes in front of the forehead.
The bright spot 21 of the light emitting diode 16 that emits light is exposed on the peripheral side surface 22 of the outer peripheral edge 15 of the protruding piece 13.
Therefore, the head covering 11 worn together with the light emitter of the present invention exhibits a function as an illuminating device that illuminates the moving hand or the front of the eye, similar to a light emitting head covering with a light-emitting diode attached to the tip (see the above-mentioned Patent Document 10). .

The light-emitting body of the present invention is not inseparably integrated with the cover like a light-emitting cover with a collar (see Patent Document 10).
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the light emitter of the present invention is used by being sandwiched between a head and a forehead when the head is worn.
Therefore, when the function as the lighting device is not required, the light emitter is separated from the cover 11.
Therefore, the covering 11 of the present invention can be used as an ordinary covering that does not include a light emitter.

The light emitter of the present invention is not inseparably integrated with the cover 11.
The light emitter of the present invention is used by superimposing the insertion piece 12 on the inner surface 10 of the covering 11 as needed.
Therefore, the illuminant of the present invention can be applied to all the headpieces having different designs regardless of whether they are for women and men, or for children and adults, and any kind of hats, shades, sun visors, helmets, etc. It can be applied to.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prepare all the coverings as light emitting coverings at the store or at the time of wearing.
As described above, since all the coverings can be prepared as the light emitting coverings, it is also possible to assort, trade and use all the coverings as the light emitting coverings.

The intersection 14 draws a curved curve that is curved in a bow shape.
The curved curve drawn by the crossing portion 14 is continuous in the width direction of the insertion piece 12 and the protruding piece 13.
Therefore, the protruding piece 13 of the illuminant used together with the cover 11 does not hang down in front of the eyes, just like the normal cover ridge 34 does not hang down in front of the eyes.
Therefore, there is no inconvenience that the protruding piece 13 hangs in front of the eyes and the visual field is blocked.

As shown in FIG. 5, the light emitter of the present invention is used by inserting an insertion piece 12 between a covering and a forehead.
Therefore, the illuminant of the present invention is smaller than the normal head covering 11 and the bag 34.
The luminous body of the present invention can be carried in a pocket.
Moreover, the light-emitting body of the present invention can be taken out from the pocket and used at any time according to the surrounding lightness and darkness.
As such, since it can be carried in a pocket, the light emitter of the present invention does not get in the way when not in use.

When working with a light emitter in the dark, it is dangerous if the battery of the light emitter runs out.
In this regard, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the light-emitting diode replacement battery 23 is detachably disposed on the insertion piece 12.
Therefore, when the battery of the illuminant is exhausted, it is possible to take out the replacement battery 23 and replace it immediately without searching for the replacement battery 23.
Therefore, even if the battery of the illuminant runs out while working in a high place, a large factory, a construction site, or in the Yamanaka field, there is no danger and no need to panic.

The replacement battery 23 is housed in a light emitter (insert 12).
Therefore, it does not take time to find the replacement battery 23, and the user does not forget to have the replacement battery.
The replacement battery 23 is housed in the insertion piece 12 as a member of the light emitter.
Therefore, even if the replacement battery is thin and small like a button battery, the replacement battery is not lost or lost.

The light emitter of the present invention is used by being inserted between the covering 11 and the forehead.
The light emitter of the present invention is small enough to be carried in a pocket.
The plug 12 of the illuminant of the present invention is easy to adjust to the forehead.
The insertion piece 12 of the illuminant of the present invention does not give a sense of incongruity or a foreign object during use.

As described above, the light-emitting body of the present invention can be carried in a pocket, can be carried around, and is not disturbed when not in use, and there is no inconvenience even when the battery runs out.
The light-emitting body of the present invention can be used by winding the folded piece 35 at the upper end of the folded-in insertion piece 12 into the headband, even for the most simple headpiece.
Therefore, the light emitter of the present invention is practically convenient.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the insertion piece 12 is folded at the upper end, and the folded piece 35 is inserted into the gap between the inner edge member 32 of the cover and the inner surface 10 of the cover, the folded piece 35 is removed from the inner edge. Since it is caught by the material 32, the insertion piece 12 does not fall off.

Some of the coverings 11 do not have the inner border 32 such as a sun visor or a straw hat.
In that respect, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the adhesive material 27 whose surface is coated with the release paper 26 is affixed to the surface 24 of the protruding piece and the front face 18 and the back face 25 of the insertion piece. It is worn.
Since the release paper 26 can be peeled off and the illuminant can be adhered to the cover 11, the detachment of the illuminant in use from the cover 11 is avoided.

In some of the coverings, the inner surface 10, the lower surface of the ridge 34, the inner rim material 32, and the like are made of a pile fabric.
According to the present invention, either the male surface fastener 28 or the female surface fastener 29 is attached to either the surface 24 of the protruding piece, the front surface 18 or the back surface 25 of the insertion piece.
The male surface fastener 28 and the female surface fastener 29 engage with a pile of pile fabric. Therefore, falling off from the covering 11 of the light-emitting body in use is avoided.
