【発明の詳細な説明】
この発明は、マラソン競技における各ランナーごとの実
走行時間測定方式に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for measuring the actual running time of each runner in a marathon competition.
参加者が著しく多いマラソン競技においては、スタート
時刻から全ランナーがスタート・ラインを通過し終るま
でに数分間の時間を費やすので、最初のランナーと最後
のランナーとの間で、各ランナーごとにスタート時刻が
異なってお先そのために、各ランナーごとの正確な実走
行時間を測定することは著しく困難であった。In marathon events where there are a large number of participants, it takes several minutes from the start time until all runners cross the starting line. Due to the different times of the day, it was extremely difficult to accurately measure the actual running time of each runner.
そこで、この発明は、このようなマラソン競技における
問題点を解決するために考えられたものでおって、識別
用番号を記録した光学的に読取可能な識別票を各ランナ

また、ゴールで読取った時刻を到着時刻とすることによ
り、両時刻間より各ランナーごとの実走行時間を得るよ
うに構成したものである。Therefore, this invention was devised to solve these problems in marathon competitions, and is intended to place an optically readable identification tag with an identification number on each runner's shoulder or head. The start time is the time when each runner's identification number is read on the start line.
Furthermore, by setting the time read at the goal as the arrival time, the actual running time for each runner can be obtained from the time between the two times.

て、各識別票（４）ごとに異ならしめている。As shown in Figure 'A72, the valley thinner has a reflector plate (2) that reflects the incident light beam (1) in the direction of incidence, and a striped bar code is formed on the surface of this reflector plate (2). The person is made to wear an identification tag (4) made of a non-reflective surface (3). This striped barcode represents an identification number, and is different for each identification tag (4).
一方、スタート・ライン−ヒやゴールには、識別票（４

素子（１６）で構成されている。As shown in the Jlt diagram, the optical reading device (9) includes a laser light source (10) and a reflecting mirror (1) having a hole (11) through which the laser beam (1) from the laser light source (10) passes.
2), a rotating reflector (13) that sweeps the laser beam (1) along the start line and finish line, and an identification tag (4).
), a lens (14) that collects the light beam after reflecting it on a reflecting mirror (12), and a photoelectric conversion element that converts the light beam (15) focused by this lens (14) into an electrical signal. (16).

置（２３）を備えている。At the start line, the identification number obtained by processing the output of the photoelectric conversion element (16) in the processing circuit (17) is used as an address, and when the address is read, the photoelectric conversion element (16)
The actual running time of each runner was determined from the identified data obtained by processing the output of
, which are arranged in order of actual running time to determine the ranking, and are equipped with a printing device (22) and a display device (23) as output devices.
装置を設け、それに応じてメモリを増設すればよいので
ある。All you have to do is install the device and add memory accordingly.

的な効果をも奏することができる。As explained above, according to this invention, it is possible to accurately know the actual running time of each runner, so there is no need to start all together, and it is only necessary to start dispersed, which reduces confusion at the start. It also has the additional effect of being avoidable.
