Abstract

Safety vests and garments are for enhancing the visibility of a wearer in low-light, poor vision conditions. The safety garment has a first reflective layer, a second layer of reflective tape, physically attaching Electro Illuminating Wire under the inside edge of the reflect tape that maybe sewn or glued secures the Electro Illuminating Wire in place. Electro Illuminating Wire is then connected to a standard battery pack of old circuitry. The Electro Illumination Wire and glue are available on the market, Electro Illuminating Wire is old circuitry, prior art. Physically attaching the Electro Illuminating Wire to safety garments, creates a new environment, new area for a brighter and versatile safety garment. The Electro Illuminating Wire adds greater visibility to safety garments. Wearers have the option to turn on a bright solid light or bright blinking light, simply by pressing a button. This adding even greater visibility to wearers. Stopping injury or even death.

Claims

1. FIG. 1, 27,28. Physically combining a well known, old circuitry, Electro Illuminating Wire, (referenced as el wire) having a battery pack, and market available safety vests and garments (reference as safety vests). This has created a new environment and area from combining of the two. FIG. 5, 24,27,29 By physically attaching the el wire, by stitching or gluing with flexible adhesive that is market available. FIG. 6, 24,27,28,29,30. The el wire is attached under the inside edge of the reflective tape. Starting at the left front of the safety vests aperture, FIG. 4, 26,27,29. El wire is attached inside to a battery pack held securely by a pocket. FIG. 1, 29. Starting at the left front waist aperture, el wire is attached securely under the reflective tapes inside edge, 27,29 then runs up the left front of the safety vest over the left shoulder, down the left back to the waist, 27 across the waist to the right side, 27 up the right back shoulder, 27 down the right front ending at the right aperture, 29 and exiting their and attached securely inside waist area. 29. El wire is cool to touch, water resistant, and very flexible and uses little electricity. FIG. 9, Wearers have the ability to choose a bright solid light or a bright blinking light, by pressing a button 34 on the left front of the safety vest. This will enhance the ability to be seen in low-light. poor weather conditions, saving wearers from injury or even death.

2. The safety vests and garments(market available) 10, wherein the first layer is a reflective color of fabric or mesh, the second layer is reflective tape, 24,28,68.

3. The electro illuminating wire wherein is attached to a well known, standard battery pack, of old circuitry, prior art and market available. 32,33.

4. The safety vests, FIG. 6, 24,27,28,29,30, wherein the electro illuminating wire is permanently connected under the edge of the second layer, known as reflective tape 24. El illuminating wire is permanently connected to top edge of first layer 28, know as mesh or fabric 28. Having a second reflectance greater than the first reflectance;

5. The safety vest, FIG. 1, 24,27,29, FIG. 2, 27 comprising;

a first layer comprising of mesh or fabric with reflective color 28, connected to the second layer, the reflective tape 24, having a second reflectance greater than the first reflectance;

chosen from the group comprising said layer and said second layer 24; and

a predetermined length of electro illuminating wire 27 is secured under the inside edge of the reflective tape FIG. 5 27,39, electro illuminating wire is connected to a battery pack 32, thru a aperture 29, on the left front inside of the safety vest, 29.

6. FIG. 3 The Safety vest of claim showing side view of the safety vest and attachment of electro illuminating wire 27.

7. The safety vest FIG. 4, 26 further comprising a pocket attached to the inside of the first layer, the pocket is sized for receiving and keeping the battery pack secure and in place. 32.

8. The safety vest of claim wherein the battery pack is located within left front insid of the safety vest, and attaches thru the aperture located on the front left side of the safety vest to the electro illuminating wire. FIG. 4, 29,27.

9. The safety of claim wherein the battery pack is a low-profile standard battery pack, well known and of old circuity. 32,35.

10. The safety vest of claim has a detachable battery pack, with a male 40 and female 41 connectors.

11. The safety vest of claim further comprising of sewn stitches or glued to keep electro illuminating wire securely in place. FIG. 5, 24,27,39.

12. The safety vest of claim, where physically attaching electro illuminating wire to the safety vest, creates a new environment and area 27, creating a highly-visible safety vest and safety and safety garments 10.

13. The safety vest of claim, the electro illuminating wire is light weight and is cool to touch, water resistant, with a removable battery pack, and uses small amounts of electricity, with ease a button located left front of safety vest 34 to turn on, off, for a solid light or blinking. FIG. 9. 32,34.
