The safety buzzer switch may be a push button switch, and the push button switch may be formed at a position lower than the handle surface. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation of the safety buzzer when it is not necessary.

  Since the safety umbrella of the present invention has many functions for maintaining the safety of the user, the user of the umbrella can be prevented from encountering a traffic accident caused by an automobile or the like. In addition, the safety umbrella of the present invention has a safety buzzer and can be operated with the umbrella held, so that a quick response in an emergency can be performed. Due to this effect, the safety umbrella of the present invention is a great gospel especially for children and elderly people who are expected to increase.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by embodiments with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view of a safety umbrella according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of a stone bump, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a handle portion.
As shown in FIG. 1, the safety umbrella 100 according to the present embodiment uses a battery 11 housed in the handle portion 10 as a power source and emits light from a printed circuit board 21 having a light-emitting diode blinking circuit built in a stone bump 20. The diodes 22 are sequentially blinked, the foot illumination 30 formed on the handle portion 10 is turned on, and the safety buzzer 40 formed on the handle portion 10 can be operated.

  The stone bump 20 at the top of the safety umbrella 100 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by a transparent material such as acrylic resin, and only the lower end is opened. The upper end of the stone bump 20 is formed to be thick, and is difficult to break even if it strikes a paved road or the like. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the stone bump 20 has a printed board 21 inserted through the opening at the lower end, and the upper end of the shaft portion 50 made of a metal pipe is inserted below the inserted printed board 21. Bonded and fixed to 70.

  The printed circuit board 21 has a known multivibrator circuit as a light emitting diode blinking circuit for blinking a plurality of light emitting diodes 22 sequentially. Although the number of the light emitting diodes 22 is not limited, it is preferable to provide three or more. As the luminescent color of the light emitting diode 22, high brightness red, yellow, green, orange, blue, or the like can be used. The blinking cycle of the light emitting diode 22 can be shortened if the diode included in the multivibrator circuit has a small capacity, and can be delayed if the diode is large. In this manner, the safety umbrella 100 can inform the driver of the automobile and the like of the user of the safety umbrella 100 by flashing the plurality of light emitting diodes 22 in sequence.
