<p>Reflective safety belt having an elongated portion 1 for removable attachment around the waist of a user and an elongated strap portion 2 fixed by its ends to the waist portion at two regions 3 thereof, for removable attachment over the shoulder of a user, which portions are made of flexible retroreflective and fluorescent sheet material. The waist portion 1 has a part 4 provided with at least one margin 5 projecting externally of the waist portion part 4 from a general edge line 6 thereof. This margin 5 forms one of the fixture regions for the strap portion 2 and is so shaped to form with the respective end of the strap portion fixed thereto, a rounded or radiussed edge 7 at each junction between the strap portion 2 and waist portion part 4 adjoining edges in order to minimise stress at these junctions and thereby reduce the likelihood of tearing of the strap portion 2 or waist portion part 4 at these junctions. Preferably the at least one margin 5 is integral with the waist portion part 4 and is shaped from the piece of material forming the waist portion 1.</p> |
