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.

[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...

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1-9, a woven product 10 with luminescent yarns 20 embodied in the present invention comprises: [0016] first luminescent yarns 21 formed by fluorescent threads giving off luminescence upon receiving light, and second luminescent yarns 22 formed by luminous threads giving off luminescence at night by themselves. In this way, the portions with the first and second luminescent yarns 2122 on the woven product will be luminous at night.

[0017] Wherein said woven products with luminescent yarns 202122 can be garments (refer to FIG. 1), caps (refer to FIG. 2), gloves (refer to FIG. 3), socks (refer to FIGS. 7 and 8), scarves and shoes (refer to FIG. 9), textile, canvas or curtains (refer to FIG. 10), etc.
