Description

  The present invention relates to a body-mounted light that is used to illuminate the feet, hands, etc. during nighttime or in a dark place to ensure work and walking safety.

  Lights are installed at night, or in dark places such as underground, tunnels, large buildings, structures, etc., but it is difficult to work in daytime environments. In particular, depending on the location of the lighting fixtures, shadows may occur, and in order for workers to work with peace of mind, individual lights that are attached to workers and illuminate their feet are used. .

  And as a light for illuminating the individual feet, means for attaching a helmet or flashlight with a light to the head or shoulder with a belt (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-135277, etc.) has been widely known. These are generally used not only in construction sites and mining sites, but also in sports such as mountain climbing and walking.

  However, these individual body-mounted lighting means are safe and work efficient because both hands can be used, but the light that is worn on the head often has an optical axis that illuminates the hand performing the work. Therefore, it will irradiate the front of the user's feet and hands, and to illuminate the feet and hands, you will be forced to lower your head or bend your waist, such an impossible In the posture, there is a problem that not only physical pain is caused but also work efficiency is lowered, and there is a problem that brightness is lowered because a distance from the head as a light source to the feet is necessary.

  Therefore, a light that is directly attached to the feet is presented in Utility Model Registration No. 3169819.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the body-mounted light presented in this publication is a light body in which the outer surface of a lighting unit 5a that houses an LED 2a, a battery 3a, and a switch 4a in a case 1a is covered with a hook-and-loop fastener 6a. As shown in FIG. 7 (b), it is detachably fixed to a fastening device 8a having a hook-and-loop fastener wound around the ankle 7a.

  This body-mounted light has the advantage of good irradiation efficiency because it can directly illuminate the foot as compared with the conventional light mounted on the head because the light source is at the foot, but the LED 2a is included in the case 1a. Since the battery 3a, the switch 4a, etc. are housed and a relatively heavy and thick lighting unit 5a is attached to one side of the ankle, the user concentrates on one side of the ankle, I am worried that I am wearing the lighting unit, and this will also interfere with walking. In addition, since a general-purpose lighting unit is used, it is difficult to adjust the optical axis. In particular, since the light source is attached to the outside of the ankle so as not to interfere with walking, the light source is removed from the front of the ankle so that it is inside. There is also the problem of illuminating diagonally forward.

Utility Model Registration No. 3169819

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems. Needless to say, it can be mounted on the shin, thigh, torso, and arm to illuminate the feet and the front with a sufficient amount of light. It doesn't bend the neck or waist when illuminating the feet or hands like a light to be worn on the part, especially the wearing feeling is good and comfortable compared to the conventional body wearing light with a bulky outer shape, The present invention provides a body-mounted light that can be provided with a function of protecting the shin, arm, and abdomen according to work.

  The light for body wearing according to the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems is that a light emitting diode is mounted on the surface of a band-shaped mounting unit body having appropriate flexibility and both ends in the length direction of the mounting unit body. And a light-emitting diode power supply battery, a switch, and other light-emitting accessory devices are attached to the surface of the mounting portion main body.

  According to the present invention, a light-emitting diode placed on the front of the body can be lit by simply wearing it on a desired body part, and it can illuminate a desired area without taking an unreasonable posture. Suitable for work.

  In addition, in the present invention, when the mounting part main body is formed of a mesh material made of synthetic fiber, it is light and has a low feeling of wearing, and there is no fear of slipping down in close contact with trousers or the like that are worn under moderate friction. Even in summer, it won't get muggy.

  Furthermore, when a plurality of the light emitting diodes are disposed on a synthetic resin installation tape laid on the surface of the mounting portion main body at a predetermined interval in at least the vertical direction, the light emitting diodes are installed. Wiring is simple and reliable, and has excellent durability for use. By arranging the light emitting diodes in the vertical direction, the vertical irradiation range can be expanded, and the wide range becomes brighter for walking and work. Is easier to do. In particular, by changing the optical axis of each light emitting diode, it is possible to illuminate the feet in a range suitable for work. In addition, when the installation tape is a light reflecting tape, it can be viewed from a distance at night and is excellent in terms of safety.

  Further, when the light sensor is arranged in the vicinity of the light emitting diode, the light emitting diode can be turned on only when the desired irradiation part does not have the desired brightness, so that an energy saving effect is exhibited.

  In particular, in the present invention, among the power source batteries, switches, and other accessory devices of the light emitting diode, there is a relatively large capacity when at least the power source battery is accommodated in a pocket formed on the surface of the mounting portion main body. Easy to carry even with dry cell batteries.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to illuminate a desired front portion with a sufficient amount of light, and it is also possible to use it in a normal walking posture, such as a desired foot, such as a light that is worn on the head or the like. In particular, it is possible to attach a function of protecting the apparatus main body from, for example, an impact according to work.

The mesh (mesh) ground formed by the resin of the system is adopted to reduce weight and improve the friction to the trousers worn by the user to prevent slipping when wearing, Ensures breathability in summer.

  Further, the mounting portion main body 2 is vertically split at the portion where the mounting portion main body 2 touches the calves, and detachable fixing members 22A, 22B, and 22C (23A, 23A, for example, each formed of a hook-and-loop fastener along the respective split ends 21A and 21B. 23B, 23C) are provided at several positions in the vertical direction at a predetermined interval, and the front surface (the portion to which the shin is applied) with the fixing members 22A, 22B, 22C (23A, 23B, 23C) removed. ) It can be easily attached to the heel part by engaging the fixing members 22A, 22B, 22C (23A, 23B, 23C) against the shin facing 24.

  Further, installation tapes 5 and 5 for fixing the light emitting diodes 41A (41B and 41C) constituting the light emitting accessory 3 are sewn (or welded) on the front surface 24 of the mounting portion main body 2 (the portion to which the shin is applied). , Adhesion) or the like. This installation tape 5 has a double structure in which the periphery of two thin plates formed of a soft synthetic resin having waterproof properties is welded, and at least the surface-side tape is subjected to a conventionally well-known light reflection process on at least the surface. In addition, three light emitting diodes 41A, 41B, 41C and an optical sensor 6 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction on a substrate 42 arranged in a sealed state inside, and the light emission of the thin plate on the surface side The light-emitting diodes 41A, 41B, 41C, 41B, 41C, and the light-emitting diodes 41A, 41B, 41C, 41C, 41C, 41C, 41C, 41C, 41C, 41C, 41C, 41C, 41B, 41C 41C and the optical sensor 6 so that light passes between the outside and the outside of the light emitting diodes 41A, 41B and 41C and the optical sensor 6 The light-emitting diodes 41A, 41B, and 41C are diffused or converged by considering the formation of a hemispherical material, a spherical surface angle, and a lens.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the three light emitting diodes 41A, 41B, and 41C are arranged in a line in the vertical direction at a predetermined interval is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number and arrangement position are intended for use. It may be selected appropriately according to the usage environment, and when multiple installations are made, it is possible to light all at once, or it is possible to have wiring that can light some of them according to the usage situation .

  Further, in the present embodiment, the power source battery 31 constituting the light emission control device 3 is accommodated in a pocket 51 attached to the surface along one divided end 21A in a portion where the light emitting control device 3 touches the calf shin. In both cases, a first switch 32 and a second switch 33 used to selectively supply power from the power source battery 31 to the light emitting diodes 41A, 41B, and 41C are disposed below the pocket.

  The first switch 32 directly controls the power source of the power source battery 31. When the first switch 32 is in the ON state, the light emitting diodes 41A, 41B, and 41C are always lit. Even if the second switch 33 is in the ON state, the light sensor 6 is not turned on while the light sensor 6 feels light of a predetermined luminous intensity from the outside. Therefore, the battery life can be extended. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the light sensor 6 is disposed in the vicinity of the mounting position of the light emitting diodes 41A, 41B, and 41C that illuminate the foot, it can be accurately determined within a narrow foot range that requires illumination.

  In the present embodiment having the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 4, the mounting surfaces of the photodiodes 41A, 41B, and 41C are placed against the other shin, and the divided ends 21A and 21B that are placed on the expansion shin are fixed members 22A. , 22B, 22C (23A, 23B, 23C) can be easily mounted on the heel portion.

  In an environment where light is needed at the foot, the light emitting diodes 41A, 41B and 41C may be turned on by turning on the first switch 32 or the second switch 33 as necessary. Since the light emission of 41B and 41C illuminates the feet, work and walking can be performed safely. In particular, in the present embodiment, the light emitting diodes 41A, 41B, and 41C are disposed in front of the shin portion, so that the direction in which the foot is carried is surely illuminated, and the three light emitting diodes 41A, 41B, and 41 are provided. Are arranged in the vertical direction with a predetermined interval, so that the light flux can be obtained almost at the height of the heel, even if the heel tilts by bending the knee while walking and raising or lowering the foot.
