DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for preventing an automobile from being damaged by contact with an obstacle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a device for preventing a vehicle from coming into contact with an obstacle, there is a device in which an optical sensor is attached to the vehicle and an alarm is sounded by a buzzer or the like when the vehicle approaches a certain distance from the obstacle. In some cases, a contact rod is attached to an automobile and an alarm is issued when the contact rod contacts an obstacle.

[0003] However, these devices have the drawback that they are time-consuming to mount on a car and are expensive because they require an electrical configuration.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent a contact with an obstacle by emitting an audible alarm without mounting on an automobile and without requiring an electric structure. Is to do.

[0005]

As shown in FIG. 1, a feature of the present invention is that a base 1 installed on the ground 12 or the floor,
A flexible pole 2 of elastic wire erected on a base 1;
The flexible pole 2 has a lower spring portion 3 at a lower portion, an upper spring portion 4 above the lower spring portion 3, a mounting frame 5 above the upper spring portion 4,
The bell 8 or the bell is suspended from the mounting frame 5 so as to be swingable.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference numeral 1 denotes a base placed on the ground 12 or floor in front of an obstacle 11, and uses heavy cast iron for stability.
The shape may be any shape such as a disk shape or a square shape, but when placed on the ground 12 or the like, it is preferable to flatten the bottom surface so as not to shake, or to protrude three or four convex portions downward at the corners.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a flexible pole made of a material having a high elasticity such as a piano wire, and a lower end portion thereof is inserted into a mounting hole provided in the base 1 and fixed by welding. It is also possible to provide a male screw at the lower end and screw the male screw to a female screw provided in the mounting hole.

[0008] 3 is a lower spring portion provided below the flexible pole,
Reference numeral 4 denotes an upper spring portion provided above the lower spring portion 3, which is formed by winding the flexible pole 2 into a coil. The lower spring 3 is preferably located below the bumper 13a of the automobile 13, and the upper spring 4 is preferably located above the trunk 13b.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a mounting frame provided at the upper end of the flexible pole 2, which is formed substantially in a heart shape in the embodiment. Then, the upwardly projecting portions 6, 6 are provided on the upper portion, and the projecting portions 6,
It is convenient to move this contact prevention pole by putting a finger on the contact prevention pole.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a steel wire hanging bracket, which is mounted between the projections 6 and 6, that is, at the upper center of the mounting frame 5, and is attached to a handle 9 of a bell 8 as shown in detail in FIG. The bell 8 is hung in a swingable manner by penetrating the lower end portion of the mounting hole 10 having an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the hanging metal fitting 7.

Of course, a bell can be used instead of the bell 8, and a chain, a string, or the like can be used instead of the hanging bracket 7 as a means for hanging the bell 8 or the bell on the mounting frame 5 as in the embodiment. It is possible.

With the above arrangement, the contact prevention port of the present invention is placed on the ground 12 or the floor in front of the obstacle 11 such as a wall.
Install the file. When the vehicle 13 retreats (or moves forward) comes into contact with the flexible pole 2, the lower spring portion 3 causes the bumper 1.
The flexible pole 2 is pushed without damaging 3a or the like. Due to the elasticity of the upper spring portion 4, the bell 8 or the bell swingably swinging on the mounting frame 5 swings and emits an alarm sound, and at the same time, the swinging of the flexible pole 2 can be visually observed. The operator can safely stop the vehicle 13.

Even if the mounting frame 5 comes into contact with the obstacle 11 due to the swing of the flexible pole 2, the upper spring portion 4 bends the upper portion from the upper spring portion 4 so that the mounting frame 5 is not damaged. .

In the above embodiment, the flexible pole 2 is formed integrally, but the space between the lower spring portion 3 and the upper spring portion 4 is formed as a telescopic tube like a rod antenna so as to be high. Adjustable.

To facilitate packing, transportation, and carrying, upper and lower ends of the lower spring portion 3 and lower ends of the upper spring portion 4 are provided with male threads, respectively. By providing a female screw in the portion, disassembly and assembly can be made freely.

It is also possible to attach a hanging bracket directly to the center of the upper end of the bell 8, and to suspend the bell 8 from the mounting frame 5 through a clearance 5 'formed at the lower end of the mounting frame 5 through the hanging bracket. is there.

[0017]

According to the present invention, when the vehicle comes into contact with the vehicle, the bell or the bell is often swung by the upper and lower spring portions to emit a sound, and the vehicle is not damaged. In parallel parking, it is possible to park safely just before an obstacle such as a parked car.

It is possible to save the trouble of directly mounting on a car,
Since there is no electrical configuration and the structure is simple, it can be provided at extremely low cost.
