The military vessel signal sign operating device requires a driving device such as a motor to move the signal sign up and down, resulting in problems such as a complicated structure and high cost.
Further, in the signal light device of the commercial ship, it is troublesome for a sailor to change the light bulb manually, and there is a problem that it is necessary to climb a mast and is dangerous.

Arms are provided on both sides of the mast of the ship, and 12 signal lights composed of incandescent light bulbs and colored globes are set in accordance with the signals used on the ship. It is reasonable to place each incandescent lamp on and off with a plurality of switches on the control panel. To do this, each incandescent lamp and control panel must be connected to each other. Each must be connected by a power supply line, which complicates the wiring and makes the wiring work complicated.
In such a case, the incandescent bulb mounting position on the actual mast is numbered in an appropriate order, and the on / off of the incandescent bulb at that position can be controlled by a switch having the same number as that number. In general, considerable training is required to be able to recognize which switches are turning on and off which incandescent bulbs.

In recent years, the number of types of signals has increased, and there are cases where it is not possible to cover with fixed signals alone. In such cases, a temporary signal lamp is provided, or only when a specific signal is desired to be displayed. In such a case, the arrangement and operation of the switch become more complicated.
Moreover, in the case of an incandescent light bulb, the filament is likely to be damaged due to the vibration of the ship, the life of the ship itself, and the like, and must be frequently replaced every time damage occurs.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and by making the arrangement and color of the signal display unit on the control panel correspond to the arrangement and color of the actual signal lamp.
