The electronic whistle assembly includes a mounting clip 100 and an electronic whistle 200 detachably coupled to the clip 100 when viewed from the external appearance.

As described later, the electronic whistle 200 is coupled to the clip 100 by a magnet, and the clip 100 is attached and fixed to a garment such as a uniform or a work garment.

According to such a configuration, in a state where the clip 100 is attached and fixed to the clothes, the magnet provided in the electronic whistle 200 and the magnet provided in the clip 100 are brought into close contact with each other, so that the electronic whistle 200 can be firmly coupled to the clip 100 and carried.

Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the mounting clip.

The clip 100 includes: an upper plate 110; a lower plate 120; the hinge shaft 150 and the torsion spring 140 are elastically and rotatably coupled to the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120.

The upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120 are configured to have a size and shape similar or identical to that of the electronic whistle 200.

A circular groove 111 is formed on the upper surface of the upper plate 110, and the permanent magnet 130 is inserted therein and fixed with an adhesive interposed therebetween, thereby being combined with the permanent magnet of the electronic whistle 200 as described above.

Hinge supporters 112 are projected at both side edge portions in the width direction of the lower surface of the upper plate 110, and shaft holes 113 are formed in the hinge supporters 112.

Preferably, a reinforcing rib 114 is formed along an edge portion of the lower surface of the upper plate 110, so that the supporting strength of the upper plate 110 can be improved.

The hinge supporter 122 is projected from the upper surface of the lower plate 120 by being displaced inward at a position corresponding to the hinge supporter 112 of the upper plate 110, and a shaft hole 123 is formed in the same manner.

Here, the height of the hinge support 122 of the lower plate 120 is formed to be greater than the height of the hinge support 112 of the upper plate 110.

According to such a structure, the hinge shaft 150 is inserted into the respective shaft holes 113 and 123 and fixed in a state where the shaft hole 113 of the hinge supporter 112 of the upper plate 110 is aligned with the shaft hole 123 of the hinge supporter 122 of the lower plate 120, so that the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120 are rotatably coupled.

At this time, as described above, the height of the hinge supporter 122 of the lower plate 120 is formed to be greater than the height of the hinge supporter 112 of the upper plate 110, so that the hinge supporter 112 of the upper plate 110 can smoothly rotate without contacting the lower plate 120.

In contrast, the height of the hinge support 112 of the upper plate 110 may be formed to be greater than the height of the hinge support 122 of the lower plate 120.

In the structure, the torsion spring 140 is inserted by the hinge shaft 150, and the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120 are pressurized, respectively, in a state where one end of the torsion spring 140 is placed on the lower surface of the upper plate 110 and the other end is placed on the upper surface of the lower plate 120.

Preferably, a pair of stoppers 125 limiting the movement of the torsion spring 140 in the width direction may be protrusively formed on the upper surface of the lower plate 120.

According to the present invention, a plurality of zigzag rows 124 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the length direction on the upper surface of the lower plate 120.

According to such a structure, the clothes positioned between the opened upper and

lower plates

110 and 120 are fixed at a plurality of positions by the force distributed from the plurality of zigzag rows 124 to clamp the clothes.

Here, the tip 121, which is smoothly bent upward, is provided at the end portion of the lower plate 120 to be in contact with the lower surface of the upper plate 110, so that a predetermined interval can be maintained between the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120.

Figure 3 shows an electronic whistle.

The electronic whistle 200 includes: a main body 210 provided with a cover 211 made of a transparent or translucent material; an end cap 213 coupled to one end of the main body 210, having a sound discharge hole 215, and provided with a flash lamp 214; a cover 218 coupled to the other end of the main body 210 to protect the protruding USB terminal 240; and a permanent magnet 230 inserted into a receiving groove (not shown) formed in the lower surface of the main body 210 and fixed with an adhesive interposed therebetween.

A plurality of LED warning lamps 217 are arranged on both sides of the circuit substrate in the width direction inside the main body 210, and a prism 212 is formed at a portion of the cover 211 corresponding to the plurality of LED warning lamps 217, and preferably, a plurality of grooves (indicated by dotted lines) may be formed in the longitudinal direction inside the cover 211, thereby forming the prism 212.

According to such a structure, the luminous function of the LED warning lamp 217 can be used in a state where the electronic whistle 200 is coupled to and attached to the clip 100, thereby improving efficiency, and light can be more efficiently transmitted by causing refraction and diffused reflection by the prism 212 provided in the housing 211.

A plurality of function buttons 216 are provided on the upper surface of the main body 210, and the function buttons 216 are used to output whistle electronic sounds, or turn on the flash 214, or turn off the LED alarm lamp.

In the electronic whistle unit of the present invention, the mounting clip 100 can be fixed by clipping the shoulder strap of the police uniform or the work clothes.

That is, when one end of the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120 is gripped and pressed, the other end is opened by the hinge operation, and when the shoulder is sandwiched between the opened slits and the pressing force is released, the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120 press the shoulder in both directions by the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 140.

As described above, the plurality of serrated rows 124 formed to protrude from the upper surface of the lower plate 120 bite the epaulet by the distributed force, and thus are not easily detached.

In this state, the whistle 200 is attached to the clip 100 by coupling the magnet 230 of the whistle 200 to the magnet 130 of the clip 100.

As a result, the electronic whistle 200 is easily carried, and the electronic whistle 200 is detached when necessary, thus facilitating management.

In particular, when traffic control service is performed by police, the electronic whistle 200 is mounted to the clip 100 attached to the epaulet and the warning lamp function is used without using the whistle function, so that it is possible to improve service efficiency while ensuring traffic safety at night.

Although the foregoing has been described with a focus on specific embodiments of the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made therein. Therefore, in this respect, the scope of the claims of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be construed by the scope of the claims.
