Description

  The present invention relates to a lighting indicator using an LED.

  For example, a reflector is attached to the wheel of a bicycle, etc., so that it can recognize the reflection of automobile illumination light, etc., so that the location of the bicycle can be confirmed, and safety when riding a bicycle is ensured. ing. However, in this case, the reflected light cannot be obtained when the vehicle is not illuminated, and the location of the bicycle cannot be sufficiently confirmed. For example, it is conceivable to obtain a display of this kind by attaching a plurality of small illumination lamps. However, in such a configuration, there is a problem that the lamp is damaged by vibration during traveling, and it takes time to assemble. At the same time, it becomes expensive.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a lighting display device that can be mounted and used on a bicycle, a human body, or the like and has excellent practicality using an LED.

  In this device, a storage battery, a displacement sensor that senses and outputs the displacement of the lighting indicator, and an LED that is lit by the power supplied from the storage battery in response to the output of the displacement sensor are provided. Provide a lighting indicator.

  According to the lighting indicator having the above-described configuration, the LED is turned on by the power supplied from the storage battery in response to the output of the displacement sensor when the mounted object is displaced by the lighting indicator. Therefore, when this lighting indicator is attached to a bicycle, a human body, a pet, or the like, the LED is lit when traveling or walking, and this is confirmed to ensure safety during traveling and walking. When there is no displacement, the LED is not lit, so there is no wasteful power consumption, and lighting is bright and long. The lighting may be continuous lighting, but the recognition performance is further improved by blinking lighting. Charging the storage battery eliminates the trouble of charging if a solar battery is provided and then charging is performed. However, a battery charger may be used if sufficient brightness is not obtained when not in use. .

  This lighting indicator can be used for various things by devising its form, attachment part, etc., and can be conveniently used for clothes and helmets for night road workers, as well as for clothes.

  According to this device, it is possible to provide a lighting indicator that uses LEDs and is excellent in practicality. By attaching this lighting indicator to a bicycle, a human body, or even a pet, the nighttime lighting can be provided. Driving and walking safety will be improved.

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of an embodiment of a lighting indicator of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view.

  The lighting indicator 1 in this embodiment is of a type that is mounted and used on a spoke portion of a bicycle wheel. In the lighting indicator 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a main body casing, and the main body casing 2 is configured by mounting a cover body 5 made of transparent plastics on a base body 4 made of plastics. A circuit board 7 is fitted and mounted in the cover body 5, and a solar cell 8 is laid on the surface so that the light receiving surface is outward. Further, a large number of LEDs 9 are arranged on the circuit board 7 along the periphery thereof. Each is attached so that its light emission direction is outward.

  Various elements such as the storage battery 10, the displacement sensor 11, and the timer switch element 13 are attached to the back surface of the circuit board 7. Reference numeral 15 denotes an attachment for the bicycle, which comprises a screw rod 16 extending from the base body 4, an attachment piece 17 that is loosely fitted to the screw rod 16, and a fastening piece 18, as shown in the cross section of FIG. Such a configuration is provided at two locations in the longitudinal direction of the base body 4.

  FIG. 3 is a simplified diagram showing the circuit configuration of the lighting indicator 1. The displacement sensor 11 has the same configuration as that used for an earthquake sensor or the like, that is, arranged in a funnel shape. A spherical contact 21 is provided between the two contacts 20 so as to be displaceable in the direction of the arrow, and an output signal is given to the timer switch element 13 on the output line 14 in a state where the spherical contact 21 connects the two contacts 20. . When the bicycle to which the lighting indicator 1 is attached is placed in a normal standing state, the spherical contact 21 is designed so as not to connect the contact 20 (the state shown in FIG. 3). The timer switch element 13 is supplied with an output signal from the output line 14 to maintain a discontinuous conduction state for a predetermined time and to turn on and off each LED 9 during that period.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the lighting indicator 1 will be described. The lighting indicator 1 is integrally attached to the wheel by positioning the spokes of the wheel between the back surface of the base body 4 and the attachment piece 17 and fastening the 18 fastening pieces. In the daytime or when the illumination is bright, the solar cell 8 generates power by receiving light on the surface thereof, and the electric power is stored in the storage battery 10.

  When the lighting indicator 1 rotates and displaces with the rotation of the wheel during night bicycle travel, the spherical contact 21 of the displacement sensor 11 connects the two contacts 20 and outputs an output signal, whereby the timer switch element 13 is activated. In operation, each of the LEDs 9 blinks for a predetermined time. Therefore, the LED 9 always flashes and lights up when the bicycle is running and when the vehicle is stopped for a short time, so that the driver of the vehicle can recognize this to keep the safety of the bicycle running. Even at night or in a dark environment with no lighting, when the bicycle is kept standing upright, the displacement sensor 11 does not output an output signal, so that the LED 9 is not lit, thereby causing unnecessary power consumption. It is prevented.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the lighting indicator 1. This embodiment is used by being worn on a person's arm and used when walking at night or walking for health. In this case, the main body casing 2 has a substantially curved shape, and belts 51 with Velcro (trademark) 50 for arm mounting and fixing are attached to both ends thereof. Other configurations and operations are the same as those of the above embodiment. By wearing this lighting indicator 1 on the arm at night and walking, the car driver recognizes this and the safety of the pedestrian is ensured.

  By making the thing of this embodiment into a larger form, the lighting indicator 1 which can be mounted | worn with a dog's neck is obtained.
