[0009] The present inventors conducted extensive research to solve the above-mentioned problems of the related art, and as a result, they discovered that an upper garment including a front body and a back body and equipped with a luminescent sheet has both widthwise ends of a first water-repellent fabric joined to both widthwise ends of a transparent resin sheet arranged on the front side of the first water-repellent fabric over the entire length, at least one longitudinal end of the first water-repellent fabric not joined to at least one longitudinal end of the transparent resin sheet, thereby forming an opening between at least one longitudinal end of the first water-repellent fabric and at least one longitudinal end of the transparent resin sheet, and a luminescent sheet storage section configured by joining a second water-repellent fabric to the peripheral edge of the front side of the transparent resin sheet, and the luminescent sheet is detachably stored in the luminescent sheet storage section through the opening so that it is visible through a part other than the peripheral edge of the transparent resin sheet, thereby improving visibility of the luminescent sheet and preventing the luminescent sheet from getting wet with rain or sweat, thereby suppressing damage to the luminescent sheet from moisture such as rain or sweat.

[0010] In this specification, the back side means the side closer to the wearer's body, the front side means the side farther from the wearer's body, and the width direction means the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

[0011] The water-repellent fabrics used for the first and second water-repellent fabrics are not particularly limited, and may be any fabric that has water repellency. For example, a water-repellent fabric in which one surface has been water-repellent-treated, specifically coated with a water-repellent treatment agent, can be used. From the viewpoint of water repellency, woven fabrics are preferred. Examples of woven fabrics include plain weave, twill weave, satin weave, variegated plain weave, variegated twill weave, variegated satin weave, patterned weave, single-layer weave, double weave, multi-layer weave, warp pile weave, weft pile weave, and leno weave. The water-repellent fabric has a mass per unit area (basis weight) of 160 to 340 g / m 2 is preferably in the range of 180 to 280 g / m2 Within this range, there are advantages in that durability is good and waterproofness is high. Examples of the water repellent treatment agent include fluorine-based water repellents and silicone-based water repellents. The water repellent fabric may be a two-layer fabric or a three-layer fabric. More specifically, commercially available rainwear fabrics, windbreaker fabrics, etc. may be used as the water repellent fabric.

[0012] The portions of the upper garment other than the light-emitting sheet storage section may be made of clothing fabrics generally used for clothing. Examples of the clothing fabrics that can be used include woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. Examples of woven fabrics include plain weave, twill weave, satin weave, varied plain weave, varied twill weave, varied satin weave, variegated weave, figured weave, single-layer weave, double weave, multi-layer weave, warp pile weave, weft pile weave, and leno weave.

The clothing fabrics are not particularly limited, but may be, for example, fabrics with a basis weight of 160 to 340 g / m 2 is preferably in the range of 180 to 280 g / m 2 Within this range, the material has the advantages of being durable, light, and easy to move around in.

[0013] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of waterproofness, etc., the portions of the upper garment other than the portion housing the luminescent sheet may also be made of water-repellent fabric. As the water-repellent fabric, the water-repellent fabric used for the first water-repellent fabric and the second water-repellent fabric described above may be used as appropriate.

[0014] The air permeability of the water-repellent fabric measured according to JIS L 1096A method (Fragile method) is 10 cm 3 / cm 2 ·s or less is preferable, and 6m 3 / cm 2 It is more preferable that the air permeability is 0.5 s or less. With this air permeability, the waterproof property is excellent and the material is effectively prevented from getting wet by rain or sweat.

[0015] The fibers constituting the water-repellent fabric or clothing fabric are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyester fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate, polyurethane fibers, polyamide fibers, acetate fibers, cotton fibers, rayon fibers, ethylene vinyl alcohol fibers, and nylon fibers.

[0017] In the light-emitting sheet storage section, the first water-repellent fabric and the transparent resin sheet can be bonded together using an adhesive. The adhesive is not particularly limited, but is preferably a hot-melt adhesive. The hot-melt adhesive is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include sheet types (film types), nonwoven fabric types, and liquid types. The hot-melt resin constituting the hot-melt adhesive is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyurethane resin, acrylic resin, and silicone resin.

[0018] The luminescent sheet storage section may be disposed on the back side of the upper garment and may be an integrated type that is integrated with the upper garment. In this case, the second water-repellent fabric that constitutes the luminescent sheet storage section may be the same fabric as the fabric of the upper garment 1, or may be bonded to the fabric of the upper garment. The fabric of the upper garment and the second water-repellent fabric may be bonded by sewing or with an adhesive. The adhesive may be a hot melt adhesive.

[0019] The luminescent sheet storage unit may be a detachable type that is detachably connected to the front side of the upper garment. In this case, the entire luminescent sheet storage unit, or either or both of the widthwise ends of the luminescent sheet storage unit, may be detachably connected to the front side of the upper garment. The upper garment and the luminescent sheet storage unit can be detachably connected via a first connecting member arranged on the back side of the luminescent sheet storage unit and a second connecting member arranged on the front side of the upper garment. The first connecting member and the second connecting member may be any member that can be detachably connected to each other, and are not particularly limited. For example, they may be composed of a zipper, a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap button, etc., and from the viewpoint of simplicity and bonding strength, a hook-and-loop fastener is preferable. When the detached luminescent sheet storage unit contains a luminescent sheet, the flexible substrate can be bent in one direction. If the luminescent sheet is a rechargeable or wireless type, it can be used as an armband.

[0020] The luminescent sheet storage section may be of a storage type that is detachably connected to the front side of the upper garment when in use, and that can be stored in a storage section X provided on the back side of the upper garment when not in use. The entire luminescent sheet storage section, or one or both of the two widthwise ends of the luminescent sheet storage section, may be detachably connected to the front side of the upper garment by a detachable means such as a hook-and-loop fastener. Storage section X may be made of the same fabric as the fabric of the upper garment described above, or may be made of a different fabric, or may be made of the water-repellent fabric described above.

[0021] The shape and size of the luminescent sheet storage section are not particularly limited and may be set appropriately depending on the shape and size of the luminescent sheet, etc. The area of ​​the luminescent sheet storage section is not particularly limited as long as it is larger than the area of ​​the luminescent sheet, but is preferably 5 to 20% larger, for example, from the viewpoint of the storage and handling of the luminescent sheet, etc.

[0022] The width of the joint between the transparent resin sheet and the first water-repellent fabric, and the joint between the transparent resin sheet and the second water-repellent fabric is not particularly limited, but from the standpoint of bonding strength and durability, it is preferably 5 to 25 mm, more preferably 10 to 20 mm, and even more preferably 10 to 15 mm.

[0023] The light-emitting sheet is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately made up of a flexible substrate and a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged on the flexible substrate. The light-emitting elements of the flexible substrate are not particularly limited as long as they are self-luminous, and examples thereof include LED elements and organic EL elements. The flexible substrate can be appropriately made up of a resin substrate that can be bent in one direction. A commercially available product can also be used as the light-emitting sheet.

[0024] The light-emitting sheet may be of any of a rechargeable type, a wireless type, a remote control type, and the like. In the case of a remote control type, the light-emitting pattern of the light-emitting elements in the light-emitting sheet can be controlled by a remote control to determine the type of display object, such as the desired characters or figures, and the timing at which these display objects are displayed. Specifically, the speed and direction of the movement of the characters or other display objects can be determined by the timing. For example, characters such as "Safety First," "Zero Work Accidents," and "Guide" can be displayed in a flowing manner in the vertical or horizontal direction. Alternatively, different characters such as "Safety First," "Zero Work Accidents," and "Guide" can be displayed at predetermined time intervals. Commercially available products may be used as the light-emitting sheet.

[0025] Although there are no particular limitations on the location where the luminescent sheet is disposed, it is preferable that it be disposed on both the front and back body sections from the viewpoint of preventing bending of the luminescent sheet and improving visibility. Specifically, it is preferable that the luminescent sheet includes a first luminescent sheet disposed on the front body section and a second luminescent sheet disposed on the back body section, and that the first luminescent sheet and the second luminescent sheet are removably stored in luminescent sheet storage sections provided on the front body section and the back body section, respectively.

[0026] It is desirable that the upper garment further includes a control device that controls the display function of the luminescent sheet, a power supply device for the luminescent sheet that supplies power to the luminescent sheet, and a power supply device for the control device that supplies power to the control device.

[0027] The control device controls the light-emitting pattern of the light-emitting elements in the light-emitting sheet, and can determine the type of display object, such as the desired characters or figures, and the timing at which these characters are displayed. Specifically, the speed and direction of the movement of the characters or other display objects can be determined based on the timing. For example, characters such as "Safety First," "Zero Work Accidents," and "Guide" can be displayed in a flowing manner in the vertical or horizontal direction. Alternatively, different characters such as "Safety First," "Zero Work Accidents," and "Guide" can be displayed at predetermined time intervals. Note that a control device with a built-in power supply may be used as the control device.

[0028] The control device and the power supply for the control device can be detachably stored in a control device storage compartment provided on the back of the upper garment. The shape and size of the control device storage compartment can be appropriately set according to the shape and size of the control device and the power supply for the control device, and are not particularly limited. The volume of the control device storage compartment is preferably 100 to 150% larger than the volume of the control device, taking into account the volume of the control device and the storage of the power supply for the control device included in the package. The control device storage compartment may be made of the same fabric as the fabric of the upper garment described above, or may be made of a different fabric, or may be made of the water-repellent fabric described above. A control device unit consisting of the control device and the power supply for the control device may also be used.

[0029] The power supply device for the luminescent sheet can supply power to the luminescent sheet, and the power supply device for the control device can supply power to the control device. The power supply device for the luminescent sheet and the power supply device for the control device are not particularly limited as long as they are portable power sources. For example, rechargeable batteries and dry batteries can be used, and it is preferable to use rechargeable batteries from the viewpoint of repeated use. For example, a lithium ion secondary battery can be used as a rechargeable battery. Commercially available products may be used as the power supply device for the luminescent sheet and the power supply device for the control device, as appropriate. Examples of commercially available products include Anchor's mobile battery.

[0030] The luminescent sheet power supply device can be detachably stored in a luminescent sheet power supply device storage compartment provided on the back of the upper garment. The shape and size of the luminescent sheet power supply device storage compartment can be appropriately set depending on the shape and size of the luminescent sheet power supply device, and are not particularly limited. The area of ​​the luminescent sheet power supply device storage compartment is not particularly limited as long as it is larger than the area of ​​the luminescent sheet power supply device, but is preferably 10 to 150% larger, for example, from the standpoint of storability and handleability of the luminescent sheet power supply device. The luminescent sheet power supply device storage compartment may be made of the same fabric as the upper garment described above, or a different fabric, or may be made of the water-repellent fabric described above.

[0031] By connecting wiring connected to the connector of the power supply device for the luminescent sheet to the connector of the luminescent sheet and connecting the wiring connected to the connector of the luminescent sheet to the connector of the control device, power can be supplied from the power supply device for the luminescent sheet to the luminescent sheet, the control device (to which power is supplied from the power supply device for the control device) can control the light emitting pattern of the luminescent sheet, and the desired light emitting pattern can be displayed on the luminescent sheet. When two or more luminescent sheets are included, the wiring connected to the connector of a first luminescent sheet can be connected to the connector of a second luminescent sheet, and the wiring connected to the connector of the second luminescent sheet can be connected to the connector of the control device.
