Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a light emitting chain used for the purpose of preventing vehicles and people from entering, and a light emitting member used for the chain.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, as a conventional safety measure for preventing the entry of cars and people on roads, parking lots, construction sites, garages, partitions, etc., a chain made of metal or the like is stretched over an entry prevention portion. Is being done.

[0003]

By the way, a chain made of metal or the like can be easily observed in the daytime, but it is very difficult to confirm it in a dark condition at night, and it cannot be recognized at all if there is a short distance. Therefore, there is a problem that a vehicle such as an automobile or a bicycle or a person rushes into the chain without noticing the chain, and an accident occurs.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to emit light when used in dark conditions at night, to easily confirm the presence of a chain even from a distance, and to prevent an accident that occurs when a vehicle or a person rushes in without noticing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a light emitting chain which can be used as a light emitting member and a light emitting member used for the light emitting chain.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the invention of claim 1 employs a structure in which a light emitting member is attached to a chain of ring members formed by sequentially connecting ring members. It is.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there are provided two light-emitting plate-shaped members arranged from both sides inside a ring member forming a chain, and coupling means for connecting the two light-emitting plate-shaped members. This adopts a configuration in which the body can be fixed to the ring body by coupling.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a chain 1 is formed by sequentially connecting a large number of oval ring bodies 2 formed by using a metal wire to have a desired length. The diameter of the wire may be selected according to the place of use and purpose.

The light-emitting member A attached to the ring 2 of the chain 1 couples the two light-emitting plates 3 and 4 disposed inside the ring 2 from both sides and the two light-emitting plates 3 and 4. The light-emitting plates 3 and 4 can be fixed to the ring body 2 by connecting the two light-emitting plates 3 and 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, both of the light emitting plate-shaped members 3 and 4 have both side portions overlapping on both side linear portions of the ring member 2.
When both the light-emitting plates 3 and 4 are made of metal, both ends located in the connection direction are formed in a rectangular shape large enough to allow the rotation of the adjacent ring body 2. When the paint and fluorescent paint are applied and the two light-emitting plates 3 and 4 are made of synthetic resin, besides applying the luminescent paint or fluorescent paint on the outer surface, molding using luminescent resin or luminous resin May be. In the case shown in the figure, arcuate concave portions 6 are provided on both sides of the light-emitting plate-shaped members 3 and 4 to allow rotation of the ring body 2 adjacent to the light-emitting plate-shaped members 3 and 4.

The two light-emitting plates 3 and 4 may be manufactured according to the wire diameter and size of the ring 1 of the chain 1.

The drawing shows an example of the connecting means 5 of the two light emitting plates 3 and 4, and a square detent fitted between the linear portions of the ring 2 on the opposing surfaces of the two light emitting plates 3 and 4. Part 7
A projection shaft 8 is provided on the rotation preventing portion 7 of the light emitting plate 3, and a cylinder 9 is provided on the rotation preventing portion 7 of the light emitting plate 4, and the projection of the cylinder 9 to the inner peripheral hole 10 is provided. The two light-emitting plates 3 and 4 are connected by press-fitting the shaft 8.

The cylinder 9 has a height which abuts against the rotation preventing portion 7 of the mating light emitting plate 3 when the linear portion of the ring 2 is sandwiched between the two light emitting plates 3 and 4. Are penetrated to the surface side of the light-emitting plate-shaped body 4.

As another example of the connecting means 5 for the two light emitting plates 3 and 4, although not shown, the two light emitting plates 3 and 4 are not shown.
Have no protruding shaft 8 and cylinder 9,
The two light-emitting plate-like members are connected by a screw penetrating a hole provided at the center of the light-emitting device and a nut screwed into the screw.

The light emitting member of the present invention has the above-described structure, and the light emitting member A is attached to each ring body 2 of the chain 1.
The chain 1 is a light emitting chain.

The light-emitting member A can be attached to the ring body 2 by facing a pair of light-emitting plates 3 and 4 on both surfaces of the ring 2 and connecting the two light-emitting plates 3 and 4 by a connecting means 5. The two light-emitting plate-shaped members 3 and 4 sandwich the linear portions on both sides of the ring 2, and the light-emitting member A is fixed to the ring 2,
Since the postures of the ring bodies 2 of the chain 1 are sequentially in a right angle relationship, the light emitting members A are also alternately arranged in a right angle. .

The attachment of the light emitting member A to the chain 1 may be performed on the entire ring body 2 or may be performed on the ring body 2 at predetermined intervals.

As described above, the chain 1 to which the light-emitting member A is attached can be used, for example, in parking lots such as roads, schools and hospitals, condominiums and convenience stores, construction sites, garages, and partitions.
As a means of safety measures to prevent the entry of cars and people, it is used by extending to the part where entry is prevented.

Since the light emitting member A is attached to each ring 2 in the chain 1, the light emitting member A emits light in a dark condition at night. Therefore, the chain 1 exists even from a far position. By confirming and calling attention, it is possible to prevent accidents such as automobiles, bicycles and other vehicles or people from rushing into the chain 1 without noticing it, and it is effective as a safety measure for the part that prevents entry Will work.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the light emitting member is attached to the chain of ring members formed by sequentially connecting the ring members, the light emitting member emits light under dark conditions at night. The presence of a chain can be confirmed even from a distant position, and it is possible to prevent an accident in which a vehicle such as an automobile or a bicycle or a person rushes without noticing the chain.

The light-emitting member comprises two light-emitting plates arranged inside the ring from both sides and a connecting means for connecting the two light-emitting plates, and connects the two light-emitting plates together. As a result, it can be fixed to the ring body, so that it can be attached to the chain by a simple operation, and the ring body to be attached can be freely selected.
