Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-40702

In recent years, signal lights using red LEDs, etc. have been used for signals to vehicles, pedestrians, guidance, instruction lights, etc., for example in road construction and traffic accident sites, etc., but the flat plate type is bulky, cylindrical The signal light has drawbacks such as the signal and the direction of guidance are unclear and the person being guided is difficult to recognize.

A light emitting body that opens and closes in the form of a circuit breaker around the shaft is arranged at the tip and base of a light emitting body such as a tubular or flat type signal light using a red LED, a guide light, etc. By making it smaller, more compact, and by switching to continuous lighting, flashing lighting, cyclic lighting, etc. with a microcomputer switch, and combining these, arrow-shaped guide lights, indicator lights, delta signs, etc. It is something to change.

In recent years, tubular signal lights using red LEDs have been used as signals and guidance lights for vehicles, pedestrians, etc. in road construction, traffic accident sites, etc. However, in order to eliminate these inconveniences, basically the tip of the light emitter such as a signal lamp or the base is centered around the axis. A breaker-type light emitter that opens and closes and is used as a pull-out arrow-type guide light. The pulled-out breaker-type light emitter can be further rotated and extended, or the tube body can be extended and retracted. In this way, it is changed to a warning light, a delta sign, etc. to expand versatility, and by folding and storing the light emitter, it is intended to be small and compact.
Furthermore, the function can be further improved by changing the microcomputer switch to continuous lighting, flashing lighting, cyclic lighting, etc. depending on the light emitter type, and by combining these multiple signal guide lights, etc. Thus, warnings, cues, guidance directions, etc. can be made clearer and more reliable, and by making the illuminant telescopic, it can be made smaller and more compact and easy to carry and handle.

In the description of the present invention, a telescopic form of a cylindrical light emitter having a more complicated structure will be described.
