The disclosure relates to vest device and more particularly pertains to a new vest device for enhancing visibility of a person.

The prior art relates to vest device.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a front disk that is wearable on a user's chest. The front disk is comprised of a fluorescent material to enhance visibility of the user for drivers in traffic. A back disk is wearable on the user's back. The back disk is comprised of a fluorescent material to enhance visibility of the user for drivers in traffic. A shoulder strap is coupled between each of the front disk and the back disk and the shoulder strap is suspended over each of the user's shoulders. A pair of side straps is each coupled between the front disk and the back disk to securing the front disk against the user's chest and to secure the back disk against the user's back.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 5, the reflective vest assembly10generally comprises a front disk12that is wearable on a user's chest14. The front disk12is comprised of a fabric material, such as nylon or other synthetic material. Additionally, the front disk12is comprised of a fluorescent material, or a light reflecting material, thereby facilitating the front disk12to fluoresce at night. In this way the front disk12enhances visibility of the user for drivers in traffic.

The front disk12has a front side16and a back side18, and the front side16has a color that is distinct from the color of the back side18. The color of the front side16may be yellow and the color of the back side18may be white. Indicia20are printed on the front side16comprising a predetermined image. The image20may be a corporate logo, a sports team logo or any other image.

The front disk12has a pair of first apertures22extending through the front side16and the back side18. The first apertures22are positioned on opposite sides of the front disk12from each other. The front disk12has a pair of second apertures24extending through the front side16and the back side18, and each of the second apertures24is positioned between the first apertures22. The first apertures22and the second apertures24may be distributed along a perimeter of the front disk12.

A back disk26is included that is wearable on the user's back28. The back disk26is comprised of a fabric material, such as nylon or other synthetic material. The back disk26is comprised of a fluorescent material, or a light reflective material, thereby facilitating the back disk26to fluoresce at night. In this way the back disk26can enhance visibility of the user for drivers in traffic.

The back disk26has a forward side30and a rear side32, and the forward side30has a color that is distinct from the color of the rear side32. The color of the forward side30may be yellow and the color of the rear side32may be white. Indicia34are printed on the forward side30of the back disk26and the indicia on the forward side30comprise a predetermined image. The image on the forward side30may comprise a corporate logo, a sports team logo or any other image.

The back disk26has a pair of primary apertures36extending through the forward side30and the rear side32. The primary apertures36are positioned on opposite sides of the back disk26from each other. Additionally, the back disk26has a pair of secondary apertures38extending through the forward side30and the rear side32. Each of the secondary apertures38is positioned between the primary apertures36. The primary apertures36and the secondary apertures38may be distributed along a perimeter of the back disk26.

A shoulder strap40is coupled between each of the front disk12and the back disk26, and the shoulder strap40is suspended over each of the user's shoulders42. In this way the front disk12is positioned on the user's chest14and has the back disk26is positioned on the user's back28. Thus, each of the front disk12and the back disk26enhance visibility of the user for drivers in traffic. The shoulder strap40has a first end44and a second end46, and the shoulder strap40extends through each of the secondary apertures38in the back disk26. Additionally, each of the first end44and the second end46is secured through a respective one of the second apertures24in the front disk12.

A pair of side straps48is provided and each of the side straps48is coupled between the front disk12and the back disk26. Each of the side straps48extends around the user's waist50when the shoulder strap40is worn over the user's shoulders42. In this way the front disk12is secured against the user's chest14and the back disk26is secured against the user's back28. Each of the side straps48is secured between a respective one of the first apertures22and a respective one of the primary apertures36.

A plurality of clasps52is provided and each of the clasps52has a respective one of the shoulder strap40or the side straps48extending therethrough. Each of the clasps52may have a pair of holes54therein and the respective shoulder strap40or side straps48may pass through each of the holes54. In this way the respective shoulder strap40or side straps48can be drawn through the clasps52. In this way each of the clasps52adjusts a length of the respective shoulder strap40or the side straps48.

In use, the shoulder strap40is suspended over the user's shoulders to position the front disk12on the user's chest14and the back disk26on the user's back. In this way the front disk12and the back disk26make the user visible to drivers in traffic while the user is walking adjacent to a roadway or the like. The front side16of the front disk12is exposed and the forward side30of the back disk26is exposed during daylight hours. The back side18of the front disk12is exposed and the rear side32of the back disk26is exposed during night time hours. Each of the clasps52is manipulated to adjust the length of the shoulder strap40and the side straps48.
