[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the lighting device having such a configuration, the switch is mounted on the pusher frame, and the light is fixedly mounted in a state of being suspended from the front of the seat frame of the stroller. Part of the wiring is inserted through the space inside the frame, as well as part of the frame, so when replacing a stroller or removing the light and its devices, relocating it to another different body It was extremely difficult to do so.

[0005] Further, since the light is provided at one place in the front part of the stroller, in a normal use condition, the light is used to irradiate the light to the front in the traveling direction or to the road surface in the traveling direction. It is used. The lights can be switched, but they do not have a power supply circuit to control the lighting operation, and can be used for various purposes by utilizing various lighting operations and their lighting states. Could not be achieved.

[0006] Furthermore, in the above configuration, by illuminating the light at the forefront of the vehicle body frame, a car, a bicycle, and a pedestrian approaching from the front are notified of the existence of their own stroller, wheelchair, and the like. Although it was possible to close, it was not possible to perform various lighting operations such as displaying the width of the body of a stroller, wheelchair, etc., the direction of right and left turns, and blinking lights. Also, since the battery is installed in a basket provided between the wheels of the stroller or in the middle of the axle, it becomes a separate part, which not only increases the number of parts, but also saves power, switch and light. The wiring to be connected was long, and the configuration was complicated.

Some of the lights can be headlights that illuminate the front of the vehicle in the direction of travel, in which case cars, bicycles and pedestrians approaching from the front should be alerted to the presence of their own stroller, wheelchair, etc. Can be encouraged.

When the light portion irradiates the road surface in the traveling direction, on the road surface, there are obstacles such as pebbles, grooves, steps, and puddles that may hinder the rotation of the tire. Confirmation is easy, and it is possible to significantly reduce the traveling time, safety such as prevention of overturning, and the feeling of fatigue of the user or the passenger.

Further, since the lighting device having the above configuration has not only an operation unit but also a control unit, it is possible to control a plurality of light units, and a set of light units is provided at the left and right ends of the vehicle body. When a light source is installed, the light source inside the light part can be turned on at all times to make it a vehicle side light, and by blinking one of them, the direction indicator light and the light source of both light parts blink. Can be used as a hazard lamp. In this way, the lighting operation of each light can be controlled independently, giving consideration not only to users and passengers, but also to car and motorcycle drivers and pedestrians. It is possible to have the configuration described above.

Further, in the lighting device having the above-described configuration, the electric cord connecting the light unit and the operation unit includes a cord stopper having a cord clamping unit, and a cord stopper for detachably attaching to an appropriate place such as a vehicle body frame. Since the power supply cord is provided with the attachment means, it is possible to hold the slacked power cord at an optimum position on the vehicle body so that the intermediate portion does not play excessively.

[0015] Furthermore, since the operation section has a power supply and control means internally and is integrally provided with a light / light switch, a direction instruction switch, and a hazard lamp switch, only the wiring is simplified. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced, the apparatus does not have a complicated configuration as a whole, and cost reduction can be dealt with.
