DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. In the installed state (used state), the vehicle stop display panel of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the above-described conventional vehicle stop display panel shown in FIG. 7, and as shown in FIG. ABS resin swash plates 2 and 3 are pivotally supported at both ends of a resin horizontal plate 1, and an engagement pin 4 serving as an engagement portion is provided at the tip of one of the swash plates 2 and the other swash plate 3 is provided. A display portion 6 is formed by forming an engagement groove 5 at an end of the swash plate 2, 3 with the engagement pin 4 and the engagement groove 5. An acrylic reflector 7 serving as a reflector is provided on one surface of the horizontal plate 1 and the swash plates 2 and 3 constituting the display unit 6. On the other hand, a first support stand 8 is attached to the lower side of the horizontal plate 1 via a plastic hinge 9 so as to be able to be turned upside down. The first support stand 8 has a second support stand 8A.
Are rotatably mounted by a pivot pin P. 1
Reference numerals 0 and 10A denote support legs formed in a bent shape from both ends of the support bases 8 and 8A. The support legs 10 and 10A extend below the horizontal plate 1 and ground when installed. 11A is the second
Is a leg cover attached to the support 8A.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a lock mechanism attached to the first support 8 and the horizontal plate 1.
Is a plastic elastic leaf spring 13 having a lock piece 13A attached to the first support 8;
The cam lock 14 is provided so as to be rotatable by a pivot 14A in contact with the lock piece 13A of the thirteen and a hinge pin member 15 provided in engagement with the reflecting portion 7 of the horizontal plate 1.
Is fixed to the lower end of the hinge pin member 15, and
A cam groove 16 is formed orthogonally to the hinge pin member 15. When the hinge pin member 15 rotates with the rotation of the horizontal plate 1, the cam lock 14 also rotates, and the cam lock 14 rotates horizontally with respect to the first support 8. When the plate 1 is almost vertical, the cam groove 16
It is configured to engage and lock with 13A.

The operation of the above structure will be described. First, at the time of use, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.
The horizontal plate 1 is perpendicular to the support 8 of the first stage, the cam groove 16 is locked by engaging with the lock piece 13A, and the horizontal plate 1 is perpendicular to the first support 8. Is held in. Further, the second support 8A is orthogonal to the first support 8, and both cross each other.
As shown in (a), the support legs 10, 10A are erected as grounding portions.

At the time of storage, first, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the second support 8A is folded so as to overlap the first support 8, the engaging pins 4 of the swash plates 2, 3 are provided. The swash plates 2 and 3 are folded so as to overlap the horizontal plate 1 by releasing the engagement between the swash plates 2 and 3 (FIGS. 4B and 4C). The state shown in FIG. 4 (c) is a conventional state at the time of storage.

Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (d), when the horizontal plate 1 is turned by the hinge 9 in a direction of pushing down the first support table 8, the cam lock 14 is also turned. The lock piece 13A which is moved and engages with the cam groove 16 is made of the elastic leaf spring 13, so that the lock piece 13A is bent and the cam groove is formed.
The engagement with 16 is released. As a result, the horizontal plate 1 and the first support table 8 are rotatable around the hinge 9 as a pivot, so that the support legs 10 and 10A are directed upward.
The horizontal plate 1 comes into contact with the first support 8 and the second support 8A (FIGS. 4D and 4E).

In this way, when the automobile stop display panel is made compact, it can be stored in a casing 17 or the like as shown in FIG.
4C, the first support 8, the second support 8A, and the support legs 10 are better than those in which the conventional vehicle stop display plate is stored, as is apparent from comparison with the state of FIG. , 10A.

As described in detail above, the stop display panel for an automobile according to the present embodiment has a horizontal plate 1 having a reflection plate 7 on one surface.
And a swash plate 2 and 3 provided with an engaging pin 4 and an engaging groove 5 which are provided with a reflecting plate 7 on one surface pivotally supported at both ends of the horizontal plate 1 and which are engaged with each other at the end portions. And a support 8 attached to the lower end of the horizontal plate 1 and having support legs 10 and 10A projecting downward. The first support 8 is attached to the horizontal plate 1 with respect to the horizontal plate 1. The triangular display portion 6 is formed by engaging the swash plates 2 and 3 at both ends of the horizontal plate 1 with each other so that the display portion 6 can be turned upside down by the hinge 9. By fixing the first support 8 and the second support 8A such that the support legs 10, 10A face downward, they can be installed on a road surface or the like. In addition, at the time of storage, the swash plates 2 and 3 are folded so as to overlap the horizontal plate 1, and the first swash plates 1 and 2 are placed on the horizontal plate 1 so that the support legs 10 and 10A face upward.
Of the first support 8 and the second support 8A, and further, the support legs 10, 10A are connected to the swash plate 2,
3 occupies almost the same space as that of the prior art, and can be made more compact than before. In particular, in this embodiment,
The first support 8 and the horizontal plate 1 are rotatably mounted by a hinge 9, and a lock mechanism 12 is mounted between the first support 8 and the horizontal plate 1. When the support legs 10 and 10A are positioned below, the support base 8 and the horizontal plate 1 are fixed by the lock mechanism 12, so that when the support legs 10 and 10A are installed, the display unit 6 moves upward. The vehicle is held in a standing state, so that a driver of a following vehicle or the like can easily recognize the vehicle.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the lock mechanism 12 is not limited to the embodiment described above, and may be replaced with another structure such as a structure in which the horizontal plate 1 is pressed by a rod-shaped member such as a stopper rod. The gist of the present invention resides in that the support 8 can be inverted. Further, the reflection plate 7 may be provided on both surfaces.

[0016]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a stop display plate for a vehicle, wherein a horizontal plate having a reflection portion on one surface and reflection portions on one surface pivotally supported at both ends of the horizontal plate are provided. A display unit comprising a pair of swash plates provided with an engagement portion and an engagement receiving portion which are engaged with each other at a tip end thereof, and a support base having a support leg attached to a lower end of the horizontal plate and protruding downward. An automobile stop indicating plate provided with the support base being attached to the horizontal plate so that the support base can be turned upside down, so that the support base is positioned on the horizontal plate such that the support legs face upward. By inverting, the support base and the support legs occupy substantially the same space as the swash plate, and can be stored in a more compact state than before.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the vehicle stop indicating plate according to the first aspect, the support base and the horizontal plate are rotatably mounted by a hinge and locked between the support base and the horizontal plate. A mechanism is provided, and when the support leg is positioned below, the support table and the horizontal plate are locked and fixed by the lock mechanism. Thus, the vehicle can be stably held in a state where the vehicle stands up, and a driver of a following vehicle can easily recognize the vehicle.
