[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a signal output tool housing device for housing a signal output device such as a signal mirror, which is worn by a diver who performs scuba diving, for example, and in particular, facilitates putting in and taking out of the signal output device. In addition, the present invention relates to a device that also has a signal output function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, if a person is distressed for some reason during scuba diving and is floating on the sea, output a signal requesting rescue to an airplane flying over the sea or a ship navigating at sea. There is. This type of signal may be output using a communication device, but the reflected light of sunlight is applied to an airplane flying above or a ship navigating at sea, and used as a rescue signal. There is. In such a case, a reflecting mirror is usually used. This type of reflector does not require a power source and is convenient to carry.

However, the conventionally used reflecting mirror is merely a “mirror”, and when irradiating the target object with the reflected light of the sunlight, it is possible to accurately grasp the optical axis of the reflected light of the sunlight. Therefore, there is a problem that the irradiation cannot be effectively performed within a short time. In particular, it was difficult when the irradiation target was an object moving like an airplane flying over the sea or a ship navigating at sea. Therefore, the applicant has developed a so-called "signal mirror" device as an alternative to such a conventional reflecting mirror (Japanese Patent Application No. 6-110544). This makes it possible to easily capture the optical axis of the reflected light of the sunlight and irradiate the reflected light of the sunlight on an irradiation target, such as an airplane flying above or a ship navigating at sea. It is a thing.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above-mentioned conventional configuration has the following problems. For example, a diver who performs scuba diving must carry the above-mentioned reflector or signal mirror in some way, for example, by equipping it with what is called an underwater notebook and carrying it in some way. The means to do is taken. However, the conventional carrying method has a problem that it is not easy to use, such as the problem that the reflector and the signal mirror cannot be immediately taken out and used when the user intends to use the method. was there.

The present invention has been made on the basis of such a point, and its object is to put in and take out a signal output tool such as a reflecting mirror and a signal mirror in a state in which it can be used with good usability. An object of the present invention is to provide a storage device for a signal output tool that can be stored as much as possible and is convenient to carry.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the accommodating device for a signal output tool according to the present invention is a container accommodating device main body which has a tubular shape with openings at both ends and which takes in and out the signal output device through one opening, and the accommodating device body. And a cord body for integrating the signal output tool and allowing the signal output tool to be put in and taken out within the range of the length thereof. At that time, it is conceivable that through-holes are formed at the corners of the accommodating device body while the signal output tool is placed in the accommodating device body, and a string is passed through the through-holes to bind both ends thereof. Also, it is conceivable to attach a reflective material made of a retroreflective material to the main body of the container. It is also conceivable that the main body of the container is made of a retroreflective material.

[0007]

[Action]

 First, when not in use, the signal output tool is housed in the housing body through one opening. On the other hand, at the time of use, the signal output tool is taken out through the one opening. At this time, the accommodating device main body and the signal output tool are integrated via the cord body, and the signal output tool is taken in and out within the range of the cord body. In addition, it can be carried by attaching it to the user's hand or the like using a cord. There are various conceivable methods for threading the string. For example, with the signal output tool inside the main body of the housing device, through holes are formed in the respective corners, and the string is passed through the through holes. Then, it is conceivable to bind the both ends together, and in that case, it becomes easy to put in and take out the signal output tool. In addition, it is considered that the container body should have a signal output function by attaching a reflector made of a retroreflective material to the container body or by constructing the container body itself from a retroreflective material. To be

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. First, there is the main body 1 of the container, and the main body 1 of the container has a tubular shape, and both ends thereof have openings 3 and 5, respectively. A reflector 7 is attached to one surface of the container body 1. The reflective material 7 is made of the same material as a retroreflective material (for example, a reflective tape using glass beads or micro prisms) used for traffic signs and the like. This type of retroreflective material has a property (retroreflection property) of directly reflecting the reflected light in the incident direction when light is incident.

Further, through holes 9 and 11 are bored in the right shoulder portion of the container body 1 in FIG. On the other hand, there is a signal mirror 13 that is housed in the container body 1 so that it can be taken in and out. This signal mirror 13 is described in detail in Japanese Patent Application No. 6-110544, which has already been described, and it is possible to easily capture the optical axis of the reflected light of the sun while irradiating the reflected light of the sun with the object to be irradiated. For example, it is possible to illuminate an airplane flying above or a ship navigating at sea. Incidentally, reference numeral 14 in the drawing denotes a peephole, through which the reflected light of the sunlight is irradiated onto the irradiation object while catching the optical axis of the reflected light of the sunlight by a predetermined mechanism. The signal mirror 13 can also be used as a "mirror", and the peep hole 14 is arranged at a position closer to one side in consideration of such usage.

Through holes 15 are formed at predetermined corners of the four corners of the signal mirror 13. A string 17 is passed through the through holes 9 and 11 on the side of the container main body 1 and the through hole 15 of the signal mirror 13. The string 17 is made of, for example, nylon (for example, K nylon, Edo battens) and has an outer diameter of 2.5 mm and a total length of 1. It is 2m. Regarding the way of passing the string body 17, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, first, the signal mirror 13 is put into the container main body 1 and the through holes 9 and 11 of the container main body 1 and the signal mirror 13 are inserted. The through holes 15 of 13 are aligned. In that state, both ends are bound together through the string 17. The housing body 1 is made of, for example, hinyl chloride (foamed vinyl chloride, etc.).

The operation will be described based on the above configuration. First, a diver who performs scuba diving carries the signal mirror 13 in a state where the signal mirror 13 is housed in the container body 1. The carrying method is not particularly limited, but, for example, the end portion of the cord body 17 is grasped and bent as shown in FIG. Then, as shown by the arrow a in the figure, pass through it. Thereby, it can be easily mounted on the diver's hand. When using, the signal mirror 13 may be taken out from the opening 5 side of the container main body 1 and used. On the contrary, when not used, the signal mirror 13 is automatically accommodated in the container main body 1 by pulling the string 17.

Further, it goes without saying that the signal mirror 13 can be used to output, for example, a rescue signal, but the container body 1 can also be used to output a similar signal. That is, at night or the like, when the light output from a flying airplane or a navigating ship irradiates the reflector 7 of the container main body 1, strong reflected light is reflected from the light. The reflected light can be used as a rescue signal. In particular, at night, since it is difficult to use the signal mirror 13, it has a meaning to complement it.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, it has become possible to carry the Signal Mira 13 in a state where it can be easily taken in and out. This is because both ends of the container main body 1 are formed into a tubular shape with the openings 3 and 5, and the container main body 1 and the signal mirror 13 are integrated by using a string body 17 along a predetermined route. Because I did. In particular, since the signal mirror 13 can be easily taken in and out, the signal mirror 13 can be taken out instantly and made to function, and the probability of being rescued is also increased. Further, since the accommodating instrument main body 1 has a tubular shape with the openings 3 and 5 at both ends, draining is also very easy.

Further, since the reflector 7 is attached to the container body 1, it is possible to output a rescue signal using the reflector 7. It is particularly effective at night when it is difficult to use the signal mirror 13. Also, with regard to carrying using the cord body 17, since it can be easily attached to the hand of the diver by the method as shown in FIG. 5, it is suitable for use.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned one embodiment. In the above-described one embodiment, the signal output tool has been described by taking the signal mirror as an example. However, other than that, the present invention can be applied to a case where a reflecting mirror, which is a simple mirror, and a communication device are carried in a state where they can be taken in and out. Further, various materials can be considered as the material of the housing main body and the cord body.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above in detail, according to the signal output tool housing device of the present invention, the signal output tool such as the signal mirror can be easily carried in and out. Therefore, for example, it is convenient when carried by a diver or the like for scuba diving. Especially, since the main body of the container has a tubular shape with openings at both ends, draining and the like are extremely easy. In addition, when the signal output tool is placed in the main body of the container and the through holes are punched in the corners respectively and the cord body is passed through the through holes to bind both ends of the through hole, the signal output tool can be taken in and out very easily. It also improves portability. Further, by attaching a reflecting material made of a retroreflective material to the container body or by constructing the container body itself from the retroreflector, the container body can have a signal output function. There is an advantage.
