  By the way, the conventional guide flag has a flag body formed of cloth, so there is a large amount of resistance to wind when it is swayed, the swayed flag body rises, making it difficult to see from the car, There is a problem that it may not be understood until the policeman or guide is approached, and there is a problem that the effects of the reflection belt and the light emitter cannot be fully utilized.

  In addition, since the driver of a car that can be stopped by a guide flag cannot immediately understand the purpose of stopping or guiding, it will ask the police officers and guides about the purpose. Therefore, in order to hear explanations one by one, The stop time will be longer, and extra time will be required for inspection and guidance.

  Therefore, the problem of the present invention is to reduce the occurrence of the flag body flickering when it is shaken, making it easily visible even from a distance by creating a flashy light emission state, making it possible to reliably see from the automobile, The purpose is to provide a guide flag that can inform the driver of the purpose of stopping or guiding the car at a glance.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is a light emitting device in which LED elements of a plurality of ultra-high brightness thin chips having different emission colors are arranged on the surface side of a flag body formed in a rectangular shape using a mesh fabric. A label belt is attached in an overlapping manner, a power supply for blinking each LED element is incorporated in the flag bar provided at the upper end of the flag body, and a separate display sheet is detachable at the lower end of the flag body. The configuration attached to is adopted.

It is possible to have a structure in which flexible substrates to be electrically connected are stacked.

  The display sheet may have a structure in which an upper end portion thereof is detachably attached to a lower end portion of the flag body using a pair of locking tools.

  Here, the light-emitting label belt is a reflective film of light rays such as yellow on the surface, and is disposed so as to overlap with a belt-like reflective belt having a plurality of window holes at the arrangement positions of the LED elements, and on the back side of the reflective belt. A belt-like flexible substrate in which an LED element attached at a position corresponding to the window hole on the front surface side is fitted into the window hole, a belt-shaped reinforcing back sheet overlapping the back surface side of the flexible substrate, and the surface of the reflective belt A belt-like protective sheet using a transparent soft synthetic resin sheet that protects the LED element of the ultra-bright thin chip from external impact and rainwater is stacked on both sides, and both side edges of these laminates are bonded by heat welding or adhesion It is fixed by means.

  The light-emitting sign belt is overlapped on the front side of the flag body so as to cover the entire length of the flag body, and its two side edges are sewn to the flag body, so that two rows are arranged in parallel at intervals in the vertical direction. Installed.

  In addition, the flexible substrate has a wiring equal to the number of types of light emitting colors of the LED elements, a ground wiring, and a blinking circuit of the LED elements, and the LED elements of the same color are connected to a common wiring, A battery-powered power supply and a switch for turning on / off the power supply from the power supply are connected, and these are housed inside the flag bar so that LED elements with different emission colors blink alternately when the switch is on. It has become.

  The flag bar has a telescopic structure in which a large-diameter pipe and a small-diameter pipe are fitted together. The power supply and switch are stored in the position on the tip side inside the large-diameter pipe, and the cap provided at the tip of the large-diameter pipe is removed. In addition to being able to change the power supply, the switch can be turned on and off by moving it in the axial direction at the position where the small diameter pipe is pushed.

  When the switch connected to the flexible substrate is turned on, each LED element blinks by the operation of the blinking circuit, but the LED elements are arranged in different emission colors, and the ones with different emission colors are alternately arranged. By flashing, it is possible to create a flashy lighting state compared to single-color flashing, making it easier to see even from a distance.

  When a flexible substrate is used for the electrical connection of each LED element, the wiring structure has strength, does not break even when an external force such as pulling or bending is applied, and the protective sheet externally connects the LED element. Since it is protected from impact and rainwater, durability can be improved.

  In addition, the pair of latches for attaching the display sheet to the flag body is, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, and the display sheet is formed in a horizontally long shape using a sheet that is a reflective film for light rays such as yellow. Characters such as an inquiry or an accident are written on the surface.

  According to the present invention, since the mesh fabric is used for the flag body on which the light-emitting sign belts on which the LED elements of a plurality of ultra-bright thin chips having different emission colors are arranged are attached, the wind of the flag body when it is shaken is used. Less resistance, less occurrence of the flag body flickering, and the luminescent sign belt creates a flashy luminescent state, making it easy to see even from a distance, ensuring that the vehicle can be seen from a distance, even in the dark. The vehicle can be stopped and guided safely at night and at the same time by attaching a display sheet with the desired characters on the lower edge of the flag body to inform the driver of the purpose of stopping and guiding the vehicle at a glance. Can do.

  Further, since the display sheet can be freely changed, it is possible to select and use a display sheet according to the purpose of stopping or guiding the automobile.

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