Woven product with luminescent yarns

Abstract

A woven product contains luminescent yarns that are formed by fluorescent threads giving off luminescence upon receiving light, or contains luminescent yarns that are formed by luminous threads giving off luminescence at night by themselves. These two luminescent yarns can be used in a separate or mixed manner to thereby make the portions of woven products containing such yarns luminous at night or under dark circumstance by themselves. In this way, the woven product not only can present luminous beauty or serve as a warning signal, but also can be flat and smooth on the surface.

Description

RELATED U.S. APPLICATIONS [0001] Not applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003] Not applicable. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention relates generally to a woven product, and more particularly to an innovative woven product that contains luminescent yarns in its weaving structure. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] Conventionally, knitting or sticking fluorescent or luminous flakes on a garment is the most typical practice to make the garment luminous at night. However, the surfaces of ordinary fluorescent or luminous flakes appear rough upon knitting, affecting their elegant appearance. On the other hand, if they are stuck on the surface, they will easily break or flake due to bumping. Therefore, garments with such flakes are unpopular among customers. Additionally, a structure with an electrical luminous device is also available on the market. Nevertheless, it is damageab...

Benefits of technology

[0010] 2. With the improved design, the portions formed by the luminescent yarns 2122 on the woven product 10 can be luminous at night or under dark circumstances. Therefore, it can both present the beauty of a preset luminous pattern and serve as a warning signal.

[0011] 3. The luminescent yarns 2122 are knitted into the woven product to achieve luminous effect and keep its surface flat and smooth without sewing luminescent flakes. The present invention features a more elegant appearance as well as a more stable and durable structure. Therefore, comparing to the conventional product stuck with luminescent flakes featuring easy breaking and flaking, the invention has been improved.

Problems solved by technology

However, the surfaces of ordinary fluorescent or luminous flakes appear rough upon knitting, affecting their elegant appearance.

On the other hand, if they are stuck on the surface, they will easily break or flake due to bumping.

Therefore, garments with such flakes are unpopular among customers.

Nevertheless, it is damageable, expensive and inconvenient for washing in spite of its better luminous effect.
