Abstract

An article provided with reflective yarn has a sheet-shaped object, a reflective yarn is disposed on a front side of the sheet-shaped object, the reflective yarn is arranged along a second direction to form a reflective line strip with a plurality of short reflective lines, a plurality of first arc portions and a plurality of second arc portions, the short reflective lines are arranged along the second direction; one ends of two adjacent short reflective lines are connected by one of the first arc portions, and the other ends of two adjacent short reflective lines are connected by one of the second arc portions; at least two upper threads sewn on the sheet-shaped object along the second direction; the reflective line strip being pressed and held on the front side of the object by the upper threads.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An article provided with reflective yarn as a safety mechanism, comprising:
 a sheet-shaped object with a front side and a bottom side located on a side opposite to the front side;   a reflective yarn with glass beads, the reflective yarn being disposed on the front side of the sheet-shaped object without penetrating or passing through the object, the reflective yarn being arranged along a second direction to form a reflective line strip with a plurality of short reflective lines, a plurality of first arc portions and a plurality of second arc portions, the short reflective lines being arranged along the second direction, and the longitudinal direction of the short reflective lines being located in a first direction; one ends of two adjacent short reflective lines being connected by one of the first arc portions, and the other ends of two adjacent short reflective lines being connected by one of the second arc portions;   at least two upper threads sewn on the sheet-shaped object along the second direction and located on the front side of the sheet-shaped object;   at least one lower thread disposed on the bottom side of the object, the lower thread and the upper threads being connected with each other; and   the reflective line strip being pressed and held on the front side of the object by the upper threads.   
     
     
         2 . The article as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the upper threads forms a plurality of seam sections on the front side of the sheet-shaped object along the second direction, and the reflective line strip is pressed by the seam sections of the upper threads. 
     
     
         3 . The article as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein two adjacent the short reflective lines are pressed by a seam section of at least one of said upper threads; two adjacent the first arc portions are pressed by a seam section of another one of said upper threads, and two adjacent the second arc portions are pressed by a seam section of another one of said upper threads. 
     
     
         4 . The article as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the upper threads comprise a first upper thread, a second upper thread and a third upper thread; two adjacent the short reflective lines are pressed by a seam section of the first upper thread; two adjacent the first arc portions are pressed by a seam section of the second upper thread, and two adjacent the second arc portions are pressed by a seam section of the third upper thread. 
     
     
         5 . The article as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the upper threads comprise a first upper thread, a second upper thread, a third upper thread and a fourth upper thread; two adjacent the short reflective lines are pressed by a seam section of the first upper thread and a seam section of the second upper thread; two adjacent the first arc portions are pressed by a seam section of the third upper thread, and two adjacent the second arc portions are pressed by a seam section of the fourth upper thread. 
     
     
         6 . The article as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the first direction, the distance between the first arc portion and the second arc portion forms a width of the reflective line strip. 
     
     
         7 . The article as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the article is a clothing or a bag, made of the sheet-like object; the reflective line strip is located on an outer surface of the clothing or the bag. 
     
     
         8 . The article as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second direction is straight, curved or zigzag.
