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
damageable, expensive and inconvenient for washing in spite of its
better luminous effect.
[0006] Accordingly, in order to solve the problem of unpleasant
appearance due to easy braking and flaking in the conventional
practice, it would be desirable for the industry to provide a new
woven product with a better and more practical luminous
structure.
[0007] Above all, to solve the problems of conventional products in
use, the applicant elaborately designed and cautiously assessed the
structure on the basis of his rich developing and designing
experience relating to the product, to thereby present the
invention finally.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The enhanced efficacy of the invention is as follows:
[0009] 1. The innovative woven product 10 is made by luminescent
yarns 21 22 formed by fluorescent or luminous threads. It is the
first design among similar products in the industry and is in line
with the innovative requirement of a patent.
[0010] 2. With the improved design, the portions formed by the
luminescent yarns 21 22 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 21 22 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.
[0012] The detailed description of the preferred embodiment is set
forth in the foregoing description. However, the disclosure is
illustrative only and does not limit the present invention, and
changes may be made in detail within the principles of the
invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning
of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
[0013] FIGS. 1-10 show the preferred embodiment of the present
invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[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 21 22 on the woven product
will be luminous at night.
[0017] Wherein said woven products with luminescent yarns 20 21 22
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.
[0018] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, first luminescent yarns 21 and
second luminescent yarns 22 can be woven on ordinary yarns 30 to
knit a woven product, so as to reduce the volume of luminescent
yarns 20 used. Or the woven product can be knitted with the
luminescent yarns locally or in a spaced manner so that it can
present local or spaced luminous beauty at night.
[0019] Wherein, the pattern models of the said luminescent yarns 20
on the woven product can be spaced (refer to FIGS. 4, 5, 7, 8),
blocked, local, checked, figured or interwoven by first and second
luminescent yarns 21, 22 (refer to FIG. 6).
[0020] Wherein, referring to FIG. 9, if the luminescent yarns 20
are woven in common textile or canvas, such textile or canvas can
be made into cloth shoes that feel smooth and flat. With the
luminescent shoes surface, it is unnecessary to sew other
luminescent objects, thus avoiding the problem of flaking.
