Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable instruction device capable of accurately messaging instruction contents of a traffic guard to a passerby or a passing vehicle regardless of the day and night.SOLUTION: When guiding a passerby or a passing vehicle, in the portable instruction device, an LED of a display part with a circle mark is lighted on and flickered in the case where passage is allowed, and an LED of a display part with a cross mark is lighted on and flickered in the case where passage is not allowed. Therefore, traffic guide is performed in accordance with a difference of a display shape for distinction between allowed passage and non-allowed passage. At the same time, the portable instruction device transfers vibration with a different sound or a different pattern to a traffic guard himself/herself by a sound generator or a vibration element provided in a grip part cooperatively with switching of display, thereby taking measures to eliminate the wrong instruction of the traffic guard.

Description

It is an object of the present invention to allow a traffic director to guide a passer-by or a passing vehicle safely and smoothly when a traffic guide for a passer-by or a passing vehicle is used at a road construction site, a parking lot, an event venue, a stadium, or the like. The present invention relates to a portable pointing device.

The guidance of traffic passers or passing vehicles under the Road Traffic Law is a hand flag type that allows the passage of the white flag and prohibits the passage of the red flag, and is not suitable at night.

In order to solve the above-described problems, for example, an indicator lamp equipped with a light emitting unit as described in Patent Document 1 has been devised. In the case of this indicator light, red and blue round shapes (about 10 cm in diameter) having the same shape are arranged on the support, and guidance is performed with the same color scheme as the traffic signal.

In addition, the indicator lamp of Patent Document 2 is a cylindrical indicator lamp that is also equipped with a light-emitting section. The cylinder is vertically divided in half, one side is a danger color (red) on traffic signs, and the other side is danger. It is displayed on a passerby or a passing vehicle as a color other than blue (blue) for guidance.

In addition, traffic guidance in the indicator lights equipped with a cylindrical red illumination part that is currently used in general is not clearly defined in the way the traffic directors use the indicator lights. There is a problem that the contents of instructions are not accurately transmitted to passers-by or passers-by.

JP-A-9-147601

JP 2000-67379 A

Both Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are traffic guidance based on the difference in color, and the traffic director needs to appropriately convey the instruction content to the passerby or the passing vehicle based on the difference in color.

Similarly, in the traffic guide light equipped with the above-described cylindrical red illumination part, there is no clear rule on how to direct the traffic guide's indicator light, so the instruction content of the traffic guide is not to passers or vehicles. There are problems such as not being transmitted accurately.

In order to solve these problems, the first invention of the portable pointing device of the present invention is composed of a display unit and a grip unit, and the display unit has a plurality of shapes such as ◯ shape, □ shape, △ shape, and X shape. Can be displayed.
Further, the second invention is characterized in that the display unit is constituted by a plurality of LED light emitters, and shape display is performed by the lighted LED light emitters by operating a switch for turning on the LED light emitters provided in the grip portion. It is what.

A third aspect of the invention is a portable pointing device that is further improved in recognition by blinking when lit.

The fourth aspect of the invention is particularly suitable when used for traffic guidance. By allowing green traffic on the ○ -shaped display part and not allowing red traffic on the X-shaped display part, traffic permission and traffic permission are not permitted. The traffic guidance can be easily understood by changing the shape and color of the display.
In addition, since the display section flashes and emits light, it is possible to accurately convey the instruction contents of the guidance instructor to the passerby or the passing vehicle regardless of day or night.

In the fifth and sixth aspects of the present invention, the portable pointing device of the present invention is also provided to the traffic director himself / herself with different voices and different patterns of vibration in conjunction with display switching by the voice generating device and the vibration element provided in the grip portion. Therefore, measures are taken to eliminate erroneous instructions from traffic directors.

As a result, it is a drawback of the conventional traffic guide light that permits or disallows traffic due to the difference in the way the traffic light is directed. It is possible to inform the passers-by and passers-by easily about the disapproval and traffic guidance can be performed safely and smoothly.
In addition, trouble prevention due to the difference in will between traffic guides and traffic vehicles is expected, and the impact of traffic congestion on residents around the road construction area is reduced, giving consideration to the environment.
