[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a reflective vest with light strip protection and storage functions, including a vest body 1, wherein the vest body 1 has an opening 11 in the middle of the front side;
[0025] Specifically, the vest body 1 is the basic structure of the entire reflective vest, and can be made of polyester or nylon material, while the opening 11 makes it convenient to wear the vest body 1.
[0026] Furthermore, the vest body 1 is provided with a single-cuff sleeve 2 and a double-cuff sleeve 3 on the left and right sides respectively.
[0027] Specifically, the main functions of the single-cuff sleeve 2 and the double-cuff sleeve 3 are to store and display the reflective strip, while protecting the reflective strip from contamination, scratches or damage when idle. On the other hand, multiple sets of single-cuff sleeve 2 and double-cuff sleeve 3 can be set to ensure the secure wearing of the vest body 1. It is worth noting that the single-cuff sleeve 2 has a structure with one end closed and the other end open, and its closed end is used to connect the elastic band 41. The double-cuff sleeve 3 has a structure with both ends open, which is used to provide a path for the combined fabric strip 4.
[0028] Furthermore, a combination fabric strap 4 is fixedly installed inside the single-cuff sleeve 2. The combination fabric strap 4 passes through the single-cuff sleeve 2 and the double-cuff sleeve 3 in sequence and is connected to the vest body 1. The combination fabric strap 4 includes an elastic band 41, a first carrier fabric 42, a connecting band 43 and a second carrier fabric 44 fixed in sequence. The free end of the elastic band 41 is sewn to the closed end of the single-cuff sleeve 2 as an integral structure.
[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to display the reflective strip, the staff only needs to pull the second carrier fabric 44, and the elastic band 41 will stretch accordingly. When the nylon hook and loop fastener is unfastened, the elasticity of the elastic band 41 will automatically reset the combined fabric strip 4, achieving quick storage. It is worth noting that the first carrier fabric 42, the connecting band 43 and the second carrier fabric 44 are all made of nylon to ensure wear resistance and flexibility.
[0030] Furthermore, a first reflective strip 45 is fixed to one side of the first carrier fabric 42, and a second reflective strip 46 is fixed to one side of the second carrier fabric 44.
[0031] Specifically, the first reflective strip 45 and the second reflective strip 46 are both located on the outside of the combined fabric strip 4, ensuring that they can be fully exposed and reflect light during use, thereby improving the wearer's visibility in low-visibility environments and reducing the risk of accidents.
[0032] Optionally, the connection method between the reflective strip and the carrier fabric includes, but is not limited to, bonding, sewing, heat fusion fixing or Velcro connection. It is worth noting that the Velcro connection method can facilitate the replacement of the reflective strip and effectively reduce replacement costs.
[0033] Optionally, the reflective strip may be composed of one or more of the following: glass microsphere type reflective material, microprism type reflective material, or fluorescent reflective material.
[0034] Furthermore, the second carrier fabric 44 is detachably connected to the vest body 1. A first patch 47 is fixed on the side of the second carrier fabric 44 away from the second reflective strip 46. The first patch 47 is connected to a second patch 48 by Velcro. The second patch 48 is fixed to the vest body 1 and is located in the area between the placket 11 and the single sleeve 2.
[0035] Specifically, when wearing the reflective vest, the worker pulls out the second fabric 44 to stick the first tape 47 and the second tape 48 together, ensuring that the first reflective strip 45 and the second reflective strip 46 are fully exposed. Conversely, the first tape 47 and the second tape 48 are torn apart to ensure that the first reflective strip 45 and the second reflective strip 46 are fully retracted. On the other hand, adjusting the area where the first tape 47 is attached to the second tape 48 can adjust the tightness of the reflective vest, improving the wearing comfort. It is worth noting that Velcro is a commonly used reusable adhesive material, an existing technology, with advantages such as strong adhesion, easy operation, and durability, making it very suitable for scenarios requiring frequent operation.
[0036] Furthermore, the lengths of the two first reflective strips 45 and the second reflective strip 46 are consistent with the spacing between the single-cuff sleeve 2 and the double-cuff sleeve 3;
[0037] Specifically, by precisely matching the lengths of the first reflective strip 45 and the second reflective strip 46, the reflective strips can be fully exposed in the sleeve when in use and can be fully retracted into the sleeve when stored, without the reflective strips being too long or too short.
[0038] Furthermore, the front of the vest body 1 is further provided with a V-shaped neckline 12 connected to the opening 11 and two arc-shaped cuffs 13 located on both sides of the V-shaped neckline 12. A storage pocket 14 is provided on each side of the waist of the vest body 1.
[0039] Specifically, the V-neck 12 and curved cuffs 13 make it easy to wear the reflective vest, and the storage pockets 14 can conveniently hold some small items, such as mobile phones, keys, work tools, etc., increasing the practicality of the reflective vest.
[0040] Furthermore, the front side of the vest body 1 is also provided with a display pocket 15 and a flap 16 located above the display pocket 15. A transparent film 17 is fixedly embedded in the middle of the display pocket 15. A button 18 is installed on the display pocket 15 and above the transparent film 17. A buttonhole 19 is provided on the flap 16 corresponding to the button 18.
[0041] Specifically, the display pocket 15 allows staff to place items such as work badges, identification tags, or company logos inside, making it easy for others to identify their identity or company affiliation; the transparent film 17 not only protects the displayed items from external contamination or damage, but also ensures that the displayed content is clearly visible. The transparent film 17 is either a transparent plastic sheet or a transparent film; the flap 16 provides additional protection for the display pocket 15. When the flap 16 is closed, it can prevent the displayed items from accidentally falling or being blown away by the wind, which is convenient for displaying documents and avoids the inconvenience of frequently taking out and putting away documents.
[0042] Working principle: When in use, after the staff puts on the reflective vest, they need to hold the end of the second fabric 44 and connect the first tape 47 and the second tape 48. During this process, the elastic band 41 is stretched, so that the first reflective strip 45 is exposed in the single sleeve 2 and the second reflective strip 46 is exposed in the double sleeve 3. After the first tape 47 and the second tape 48 are attached and fixed, the first reflective strip 45 and the second reflective strip 46 are fully extended. At night, both sides of the reflective vest can reflect the lights of passing vehicles, which serves as a warning and ensures the personal safety of the staff. After get off work, the staff takes off the reflective vest, and the combined fabric 4 is reset under the elasticity of the elastic band 41. The first reflective strip 45 is put into the single sleeve 2 and the second reflective strip 46 is put into the double sleeve 3, which can prevent the reflective strip from being contaminated, thus effectively ensuring the reflective effect when wearing the reflective vest again.
