[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a kind of indicator light, and more particularly to a kind of indicator light combination structure that is relatively convenient in use and can change characters and figures to be displayed at a low cost.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the conventional indicator light includes a seat body 1 and a light plate 2, and a circuit component such as a transformer 3 is housed inside the seat body 1, and an appropriate groove is formed in the light plate 2. 4 is provided, the groove 4 is formed so as to have a character-shaped or graphic outline, and a continuous lamp 5 is fitted into the groove 4 and extended along the groove 4. It has a character or figure outline. The light tubes 5 are connected by a welding method, and the light tube 5 and the transformer 3 inside the seat body 1 are connected by a connection line 3. One frame 7 is fixed to the outer periphery of the light plate 2, and an opening window 8 is formed in the frame 7. In such a conventional indicator light, when an appropriate electric power is input at the time of use, the electric power is sent to the light tube 5 through the transformer 3 and the connecting line 5, and the light tube 5 in the groove 4 of the light plate 2. Is illuminated, and a person can recognize the character or the figure by the light beam projected forward from the light tube 5.

In such a conventional indicator light, the light plate 2 and the frame 7 are fixed and cannot be separated, and when the character or figure of the light plate 2 is to be changed, the frame 7 is also replaced. Costs were incurred. Further, since the seat body 1 and the light plate 2 are fastened with the screws 9, it is troublesome to disassemble, and it is necessary to use a tool for disassembly. Further, since the light tubes 5 are connected to each other by a welding method, it is necessary to perform a light shielding process on a non-character-shaped portion between the light tubes 5 or this portion is disposed behind the light plate 2. Because of the necessity of concealment, the length of the light tube became very long and the power consumption increased. Further, when the light tube 5 is damaged, the light tube 5 cannot be replaced alone, and all the welded light tubes 5 must be replaced, which is costly and not economical.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 It is an object of the present invention to provide a kind of indicator light, in which a seat body, a light plate and an outer frame are separable, and the light plate can be replaced independently when a character or design is to be changed. Need not be replaced, and costs can be reduced. In addition, the seat body, the light plate and the outer frame of the present invention are combined by the locking portion, so that disassembly and combination are easily performed and no tools are required. In addition, since the connection between the light tube and the light tube and between the light tube and the transformer are connected by connecting lines and connectors, there is no need to connect the light tube and the light tube by welding, saving electricity. If the light tube is damaged, if the connector is pulled out and separated, only the damaged light tube can be replaced, and it is not necessary to replace all the light tubes. .
