[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, whistles and whistles that emit high-pitched sounds by blowing air in their mouths have been used as a means of signaling traffic control, exercising, or reporting a disaster. There are several types of these whistles.Each of them is a device that emits a loud noise when the air blown in enters the passageway and exits through the resonant cavity. It has been offered since ancient times.

Recently, whistles and whistles have been combined with light-emitting types having a switch and a battery, and light-emitting elements based on a two-liquid chemical reaction, in order to use them as a means of reporting crime prevention and disaster. In addition to the method of notifying by blowing a whistle or whistle in emergency situations, a technology to turn on the illuminator or bending and mixing a container containing two liquid chemicals to emit light, However, there is also the technology of an alarm device that notifies the surroundings of an emergency.

[0004] A specific description of the luminous body by the chemical reaction is a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-126151 shown in FIG. In front of the means 2a, a light emitting means 1a which emits a chemical reaction fluorescent light by mixing the two liquids (trade name: Lumicalite) is a rescue information tool A which is a combination of the above-mentioned whistle sound generating means 2a and is used. When the air is blown in addition to the sounding unit 2, a whistle pitching sound can be generated to inform the surroundings, and when it is desired to emit light, the above-mentioned chemical reaction fluorescent light emission is used. By bending the light emitting means 1a, the two liquids stored separately are mixed to emit light, and in the event of an emergency, sound and light are rescued to the surrounding area in the event of an emergency. It is a rescue notification device that combines a combined notification device that can notify the user of an abnormality.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In addition to the above-mentioned alarms that emit sounds using whistles and whistles, there are also techniques such as whistles and rescue alarms that combine light emitting means with these sounding alarms, each having a certain alarm function and effect.

The whistle and whistle described above have a simple structure and are provided at a low cost. However, in the event of emergency rescue alerting by sound, it is difficult to determine the direction because the sound reverberates around buildings, trees, hills, etc., unless it is used in places that are fairly close or visible even during daytime. Moreover, when used in darkness such as at night, the direction becomes worse, so it cannot be said that it is an effective notification function or effect as a warning device in the event of a disaster that can occur under all conditions. There was a faulty alarm.

On the other hand, the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-126151 is a warning device that combines sound generating means by a whistle that emits a sound and light emitting means by a chemical reaction. There are inconveniences and disadvantages. First, the sound generating means has a whistle function to sound by blowing air, but this has the same disadvantages as the whistle and whistle described above, and since the combined light emitting means emits light by a chemical reaction of two liquids, Once the light is emitted, it disappears within a certain period of time and cannot be fired again afterwards.In addition, since the light is emitted only by the continuous emission method with low brightness, it is inconvenient such as inconspicuous like flashing light emission. is there.

[0008] In addition, since each of the sound emitting and light emitting means is a structure in which a single object is simply combined, the operations need to be performed separately, and it is difficult and troublesome especially at night or the like. The same is true for the type that emits light electrically, and in the event of confusion in an emergency, a whistle or a warning device that has many inconveniences and drawbacks, such as a whistle that cannot be used effectively and effectively. Met.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The informing means according to the present invention eliminates the inconvenience and disadvantages of the related art, and provides an informing device which is extremely simple to operate and easy to handle. The structure is such that a copper plate terminal of a switch operated by the blowing pressure of air is located inside a commonly used whistle or whistle outlet passage, and a battery, light emitting element, LED, etc. connected to the switch member By integrally forming a whistle with a built-in light emitting circuit mechanism, the body automatically emits light in conjunction with the sound of the whistle blowing.
