Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an airbag-type warning indicating instrument, which can be use as a stop indicating instrument for indicating a stopped vehicle to a following vehicle when the vehicle is forced to stop or park on a road due to the failure of the vehicle or a traffic accident, and can also be used as a road construction indicator or an accident indicator. SOLUTION: A base body (1) formed with a mixed substance having a large specific gravity is provided. An airbag-type warning indicating body (3) of a bag-shaped body is formed using a film material having flexibility, airtightness, and wetherability, and the warning indicating body (3) is fixed to the bag-shaped body (1). The warning indicating body (3), i.e., the bag-shaped body, has a gas injection/discharge part (9), into which a gas is injected to swell the bag-shaped body into a pre-designed shape, making the bag-shaped body stand upright on the base body. This erected bag-shaped body is used as a warning indicating body for indicating the stopping of a vehicle, a road construction, a traffic accident and the like. On the other hand, when a gas is discharged from the gas injection/discharge part (9), the bag-shaped body shrinks, which makes it possible to fold or roll up and houses the bag-shaped body in a space of the base body.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When stopping on an ordinary road or highway due to a failure or accident, a stop indicator for indicating that the vehicle is stopped must be provided.
It is obligatory to prepare in advance. The present invention relates to an air bag type alarm display device which can be used not only as such a stop display device but also as a road construction display or an accident display.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a stop indicator device of this type has been constructed so as to alert a succeeding vehicle that the vehicle is parked or stopped due to a failure or an accident. As such stop indicator materials, there are those shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 in addition to the smoke indicator and the stop indicator material having a hollow triangular shape.

The stop indicator A shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is provided with a base portion B, on which a hollow triangular luminous indicator portion C is formed. The luminescent label part C has a first luminescent body C1 fixed in parallel to the base part B, and a second luminescent body C2 having substantially the same shape as the first luminescent body C1 at both ends of the first luminescent body C1. The ends of the third light emitter C3 are rotatably supported by the shaft support parts D and E, respectively, and the other ends of the second light emitter C2 and the third light emitter C3 are rotatably supported by each other. It is rotatably supported via F and constitutes a hollow triangular light-emitting sign portion C as a whole. When folded, the second light emitter C2 and the third light emitter C3 forming the triangular tops are released from the pivotal support portions F, and are housed in the base portion B so as to overlap with the first light emitter C1. G is a leg portion (actual Kaihei 6-75898).

The stop indicator material H shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is
The whole is cone-shaped, and the periphery of the lower end of the sheet-made cone portion I projects horizontally, and a flange portion K serving as a base portion J is formed. The flange portion K and the sheet conical portion I are integrally formed. Further, a pillar L formed in a multi-tube structure is stretchable from the central portion of the base portion J toward the top of the sheet conical portion I.
A cap portion M is formed on the top of the sheet conical portion I, and is joined to the tip end portion of the column L inside the cap portion M. Therefore, when the column L is stretched, the sheet cone portion I is stretched to maintain the cone shape,
In the contracted state, the sheet conical portion I is configured to be folded into a bellows shape (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-1824).
6).

[0006] These conventional stop indicator materials are formed in a relatively small size so that they can be accommodated in the trunk of a vehicle when folded. In addition, such a stop display device is required by the driver to be carried on the vehicle and displayed in order to prevent a rear-end collision of the vehicle.

[0006]

Since the above conventional stop indicator material is small in size as a whole, it cannot be visually recognized from a following vehicle on a highway or the like unless it is considerably close to the vehicle, and the angle of the light is changed.
