Description

  The present invention relates to a light emitting sign device used for displaying an automobile so as not to enter a closed gate at a tollgate on a highway, for example.

  When closing some of the gates at a tollgate on an expressway, or when the ETC equipment is repaired, or when the gate is closed, the word “closed” is displayed on the display device above the gate. Display a sign indicating that the car will not enter the gate, and place a sign board with a sign indicating prohibition of entry at the gate entrance so that the car does not enter the closed gate. Yes.

  Conventionally, the above sign board is a disk shape using a metal plate, like a general road sign, and the front surface thereof is colored red, etc. It has a structure in which a sign for prohibiting entry is provided and a mounting member for a structure is provided on the back of the sign plate.

  By the way, the conventional sign board has a structure in which the sign prohibiting entry is provided on the front surface by a light reflecting sheet or paint, so the sign prohibiting entry is not particularly noticeable. In this case, it is difficult to see from the automobile, and it may not be understood until the automobile approaches the gate entrance, and there is a problem that the function of the sign board cannot be fully utilized.

  Therefore, the problem of the present invention is that it can be easily noticed even from a distance by creating a flashy light emission state only by retrofitting an existing sign board, and it is possible to inform the driver at a glance of entry prohibition or stop of a car An object of the present invention is to provide a luminescent labeling device that can be used.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is provided with a plurality of LED elements of a plurality of ultra-high brightness thin chips that are formed in a shape suitable for a sign display applied to a sign plate and have different emission colors. A light-emitting sign body that is detachably attached to the front side of the sign board, and is detachably attached to the back side of the sign board in a state of being electrically connected to each LED element of the light-emitting sign body. The power supply mechanism employs a configuration including an indicator lamp for confirming the power supply to the LED element.

  The luminescent marker is cross-shaped and is formed in a length that fits within the outer peripheral contour of the disc-shaped marker plate, and is attached to each end of the luminescent marker and the outer peripheral edge of the marker plate. It is possible to provide a structure in which a metal fitting is provided, and the light emitting marker is detachably attached to the marker plate with this fitting.

  Here, the existing sign plate is formed into a disk shape using a metal plate, and the front surface thereof is colored red, etc., and the front surface of the sign plate is prohibited from entering like a cross shape by a light reflecting sheet or paint. It has a structure in which a sign is displayed and an attachment member to the structure is provided on the back side of the sign board main body.

  The light-emitting sign body has a front-open case member formed in a cross shape that matches a sign display for prohibiting entry on the sign plate, and a cross shape that fits inside the case member, and has a predetermined interval in the length direction. And a belt-like printed circuit board to which LED elements of ultra-bright thin chips are attached, and a cross shape that fits into the front opening of the case member in a state of overlapping the front surface of the printed circuit board, and a window hole is formed at a position corresponding to the LED element. Each LED element is electrically connected, and is connected to the power supply mechanism by a lead wire drawn from one end of the luminescent marker.

  The printed circuit board has wiring equal to the number of types of light emitting colors of the LED elements, ground wiring, and flashing circuit, and the LED elements of the same color are connected to the common wiring, and the power supply mechanism connected to the printed circuit board with lead wires. In the box, a battery power supply and a switch for turning on / off the power supply from the power supply to the LED element are housed, and LED elements having different emission colors are alternately blinked when the switch is on. ing.

  This power supply mechanism is detachably attached to an attachment member to a structure provided on the back side of the sign board, and is lit when energized to the LED element whose switch is turned on in this box, and the LED element is activated. An energization indicator lamp that enables visual confirmation from the back side of the sign board and a power supply life indicator lamp are attached so that they can be seen from the outside.

  When the power supply mechanism switch is turned on, each LED element blinks by the blinking circuit. However, the LED elements are arranged in different emission colors, and the different emission colors blink alternately. Compared with single color flashing, it can create a flashing light emission, making it easier to see the sign even from a distance.

  The mounting bracket for attaching each end of the luminescent marker to the marker plate is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the marker plate so as to be detachably fixed by tightening screws, and to the end of the luminescent marker, A pair of buckle fittings made of a locking member that engages and disengages with respect to the hook member can be used to attach the light emitting marker to an existing marker plate without a tool, and can be removed when not needed.
