Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To provide an index that a pedestrian wears when walking on a night road and informs a car driver of its presence. SOLUTION: This index is obtained by imitating a main body 1 as an earring, a tie pin, a ring or the like. Like that.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a confirmation index for preventing a traffic accident by making a driver of a vehicle aware of himself / herself while walking on a road at night.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 If you are walking on a night road, you are often in an accident because you do not know your existence. Especially when walking along the road wearing black or brown clothing or rain gear at night when it rains, it is more difficult to understand if anyone driving the car was surprised and suddenly braked. Have experienced.

[0003] In order to enable a car driver to identify a pedestrian, a fluorescent paint is conventionally applied to a part of an outer garment, rain gear, a shade, or the like, and emits fluorescent light when the light of the car is hit. Many of these are used. However, fluorescent paint can be applied to part or the entire area of rain gear or shades, but the same cannot be applied to outerwear. Especially for women's clothing, decorative elements such as design are hindered, so it is not realistic to apply fluorescent paint to emit fluorescence.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the present invention]

 As described above, when the fluorescent paint is applied as the self-confirmation index, there is a problem as described above. In addition, fluorescent paint cannot emit fluorescent light unless it is exposed to light, so this point remains a problem. The present invention emits light without external light, and this light blinks to provide a self-confirmation index with a higher confirmation function.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The self-confirmation indicator of the present invention is configured to be able to blink strong light, and this light allows others to confirm their existence. Therefore, a small battery and a small lamp as a light source are provided, and a switching circuit composed of an oscillating circuit for intermittently guiding the current supplied from the battery to the lamp is provided. Is flowing.

Meanwhile, the battery, the lamp, and the electronic circuit are built in small parts that can be worn, and the lamp is exposed to emit light to the outside. The above small parts are not particularly limited, and may be a mechanical pen or a ballpoint pen, or may be constituted as independent small parts instead of being combined with earrings, rings, or other articles.

[0007] The present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and a lamp having a bimetal switch can be attached to a main body and connected to a battery to blink the lamp. That is, the bimetal switch is energized when the temperature is low, and is turned off due to thermal deformation as the temperature rises. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0008]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a specific example showing an electronic circuit diagram for configuring the self-confirmation index of the present invention. Of course, there is no limitation to this electronic circuit, but there is a switching circuit formed of an oscillation circuit so that the lamp can blink. A very small battery is used, and the current flowing from the battery flows through an oscillating circuit and a switching circuit composed of an IC, and the lamp blinks.

FIG. 2 is a specific example showing a small component having the electronic circuit built therein and only the lamp exposed to the outside. The small parts shown in the figure are independent parts that do not add the function of the present invention to other articles, and have a structure that can be inserted into pockets. The main body 1 houses a small battery and the above electronic circuit, and a lamp 2 is provided on the upper part of the main body 1. The lamp 2 is provided with a transparent cover 3, and the light emitted from the lamp 2 is radiated to the outside.

A pin 4 is attached to the main body 1, and the pin 4 can be hung in a pocket of clothes like a mechanical pen or a ballpoint pen. A switch 5 is provided on the surface of the main body 1. When the switch 5 is turned on, a current flows from the battery 6, and the lamp 2 blinks at a predetermined interval through the oscillation circuit and the switching circuit of the electronic circuit. I do.

The light emitted from the lamp 2 is very bright and reaches at least 100 meters so that the driver of the car can easily confirm the presence of a pedestrian. In particular, the flashing light, not the light that is constantly lit, makes it easier to recognize the light, which results in a longer battery life.

FIG. 3 shows a specific example in which the function of the present invention is realized in an earring. Since the earring is a earring, the earring has a fastener 7 attached to an ear. Needless to say, the form of the fastener 7 is not limited to the screw type structure shown in the figure because there are various forms, and may be a sandwiching structure provided with a spring. Although the external shape of the main body 1 is different from that of FIG. 2, the internal structure is the same. When the switch 5 provided in the main body 1 is turned on, the light from the lamp 2 blinks.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the present invention in the form of a ring. Since it is a ring, it has a ring 8 of a predetermined size, and the main body 1 is attached to the ring 8. A lamp 2 is provided at an upper portion of the main body 1, and light from the lamp 2 blinks. Therefore, wearing this ring will let you know your presence to a driver far away. It is not necessary to wear this ring at all times, but it is sufficient to remove it from the bag when walking on the road at night.

FIG. 5 shows a self-confirmation index imitating a tie pin, which is similar in appearance to the embodiment shown in FIG. A pin 9 for fixing to a tie is attached to the main body 1, and light is emitted from the lamp 2 in the same manner as blinking. The self-confirmation index of the present invention can be embodied in various forms other than these embodiments.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment using a lamp having a bimetal switch without using a switching circuit. Of course, as described in the above embodiment, the actual form is embodied as a connector pin, a ring, or the like. However, the bimetal switch 10 turns off and on the electric light by itself to blink the lamp. That is, when the switch 11 is OFF as in (a), the bimetal switch 10 is closed, and when the switch 11 is turned ON as in (b), electricity flows to the lamp 12 to light it.

However, the lamp 12 is not turned on forever, and is heated and the bimetal switch is deformed and cut off as shown in FIG. When the bimetal switch 10 cools down because the switch 11 is in the ON state, the lamp 12 is turned on again, and this state is repeated at regular intervals and flickers. As described above, the self-confirmation indicator of the present invention can blink the lamp, and can achieve the following effects.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

 The self-confirmation indicator of the present invention can blink a strong light, so that a driver of a distant car can recognize this light and protect pedestrians from accidents. In particular, it is easy to confirm that the light blinks. This self-confirmation index is easy to wear because it imitates small parts such as earrings, rings, or tie pins, and can be handled as one small accessory. On the other hand, unlike articles coated with fluorescent paint, they can emit light by themselves without being exposed to light, so they are not only useful for preventing traffic accidents but also for preventing distress.
