The self-luminous safety device 10 according to the present embodiment can be attached to a pedestrian's clothes, etc., and emits light to improve visibility for a driver such as an automobile and improve traffic safety. belongs to. As shown in FIG. 1, the self-luminous safety device 10 includes a base body 11, a rotating body 20 that is rotatably provided with respect to the base body 11, and a cap 31.

  The base body 11 is a plate-like member having a substantially oval shape in plan view as shown in FIG. 1, and a safety pin 13 is attached to the back surface side. The safety pin 13 includes a support portion 13c, a needle 13a supported by the support portion 13c, and a clasp 13b facing the tip of the needle 13a. The needle 13a is passed through clothes and the like, and the tip of the needle 13a is hooked on the clasp 13b so that the self-luminous safety device 10 can be attached to the clothes and the like. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, an engagement protrusion 11 a is formed on the front surface side of the base body 11 at a position facing the back surface side of the rotating body 20. The engagement protrusion 11a is for determining a stop position when the rotating body 20 is rotated. A magnetic body 12 is disposed on the front surface side of the base body 11 so as to face the back surface side of the rotating body 20. The magnetic body 12 is for turning on and off a contact of a reed switch 28 described later, and is disposed at a position eccentric with respect to a rotating shaft 30 described later.

  The rotation shaft 30 is a shaft portion that is integrally projected from the central portion of the base body 11. The rotating shaft 30 penetrates the center of the rotating body 20 to support the rotating body 20 in a rotatable manner.

  The rotating body 20 is a substantially semi-ellipsoidal member as shown in FIG. 1, and a through-hole through which the rotating shaft 30 passes is formed at the center. The rotating body 20 is rotatably attached to the base body 11 with a rotating shaft 30 penetrating the through hole as an axis. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the rotating body 20 according to the present embodiment includes a cover material 21, a reflective material 22, and a light emitting device 24.

  The cover material 21 is a translucent member made of synthetic resin or the like. The cover material 21 according to the present embodiment is disposed so as to cover the surface side of the base body 11. A storage part 23 is formed inside the cover material 21. The storage unit 23 is a space for storing a light emitting device 24 described later.

  The reflective material 22 is affixed to the back surface side of the cover material 21, and the sticking surface to the cover material 21 is a reflective surface. For this reason, the reflective surface faces the front side.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the light emitting device 24 includes a substrate 25, a light emitting component 26, a battery 27, and a reed switch 28. The light emitting component 26, the battery 27, and the reed switch 28 are electrically connected on the substrate 25 by wiring. The light emitting component 26 is a light that emits light using the battery 27 as a power source, and is, for example, an LED bulb. The light emitting component 26 is turned on when the contact of the reed switch 28 is turned on, and is turned off when the contact of the reed switch 28 is turned off.

  The reed switch 28 is the same as that generally sold, and two metal plates are arranged in a cylindrical glass tube so as to face each other. When the magnetic body 12 is brought close to the reed switch 28, the metal plate inside the reed switch 28 is attracted with a magnetic force so that the contact is turned on. The reed switch 28 is arranged at a position eccentric with respect to the rotary shaft 30 as much as the magnetic body 12 described above.

The cap 31 is a member that is attached to the tip of the rotating shaft 30. The cap 31 is fitted and fixed to the tip of the rotating shaft 30, so that the rotating body 20 is suppressed from being detached from the rotating shaft 30. A concave portion is formed on the surface of the cover material 21 at the attachment position of the cap 31 so that the surface of the cover material 21 is flush with the cap 31 attached.
The self-luminous safety device 10 configured as described above can be switched on and off by the following operation.

  FIG. 2A and FIG. 3A are diagrams showing the extinguishing state of the self-luminous safety device 10. As shown in these figures, when the reed switch 28 is located away from the magnetic body 12, the contact of the reed switch 28 is turned off, so that the battery 27 and the light emitting component 26 are electrically disconnected. The light emitting component 26 is turned off. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3A, the base body 11 and the rotating body 20 are in a position where they overlap each other (a position where their long axes overlap). In addition, as shown to Fig.2 (a), when the engaging protrusion 11a engages with the engaging groove 20a, it fixes so that the rotary body 20 may not rotate unintentionally.

  When the light-emitting component 26 of the self-luminous safety device 10 is turned on, the base body 11 and the rotary body 20 are relatively rotated around the rotary shaft 30 as shown in FIG. The engagement between the engagement protrusion 11a and the engagement groove 20a is released when a little force is applied in the rotation direction.

  FIG. 2B and FIG. 3C are diagrams showing the lighting state of the self-luminous safety device 10. As shown in these figures, when the reed switch 28 is in a position facing the magnetic body 12, the contact of the reed switch 28 is turned on, so that the battery 27 and the light emitting component 26 are electrically connected. Thus, the light emitting component 26 is turned on. At this time, as shown in FIG.3 (c), the base body 11 and the rotary body 20 are the positions which mutually overlap (positions where the long axes of each other overlap). In addition, as shown in FIG.2 (b), when the engaging protrusion 11a engages with the engaging groove 20a, it fixes so that the rotary body 20 may not rotate unintentionally.

  When the light-emitting component 26 of the self-luminous safety device 10 is turned off, the base body 11 and the rotary body 20 are rotated relative to each other about the rotation shaft 30 again, and the self-luminous safety device 10 is moved to the position shown in FIG. What is necessary is just to make it a light extinction state as shown to Fig.3 (a).

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the rotating body 20 is rotated so that the reed switch 28 faces the magnetic body 12 and the unlit state in which the reed switch 28 is separated from the magnetic body 12. And can be switched. According to such a configuration, since the lighting of the light emitting component 26 can be turned on / off with a simple operation of rotating the rotating body 20, there is no need for fine fingertip operations, and it is possible for children and the elderly. Can also be operated easily. Further, since the lighting of the light emitting component 26 is turned on and off by a large operation of rotating the rotating body 20, there is hardly a problem that the switch is switched unintentionally and the light remains on.

  Moreover, since the safety pin 13 is attached to the base body 11, the self-luminous safety device 10 can be easily attached to and detached from clothes. Therefore, even when a bag or the like with a reflective key chain is not carried around, the self-luminous safety device 10 can be directly attached to clothes to enhance safety.

  Moreover, since the reflecting material 22 is provided on the back surface side of the light emitting component 26, the light from the light emitting component 26 is reflected by the reflecting material 22, and visibility from the outside can be enhanced. Even if the switch is forgotten to be turned on, the reflector 22 reflects the light of the car light, etc., so that safety can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the light emitting component 26 is disposed inside the cover material 21 so that the light from the light emitting component 26 is emitted to the outside through the cover material 21. The light emitting component 26 may be provided so as to be exposed to the outside. For example, a hole may be passed through the cover material 21, and the light emitting component 26 such as an LED may be exposed to the outside through the hole.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, lighting and extinguishing are switched by rotating the rotator 20 by 180 degrees. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and lighting and extinguishing may be switched at different rotation angles. . For example, it may be switched between lighting and extinguishing each time it is rotated 90 degrees. In that case, you may arrange | position the magnetic body 12 in two or more places.

  In the above-described embodiment, the engagement protrusion 11a is provided on the base body 11, and the engagement groove 20a is provided on the rotating body 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the engagement groove 20a is provided on the base body 11 to rotate. The body 20 may be provided with an engaging protrusion 11a.

  Although not particularly illustrated in the above-described embodiment, the surface of the cover material 21 may be shaped like a diamond cut shape. By making the surface of the cover material 21 a shape simulating the cut shape of a diamond, it is possible to improve the design and diffuse the light of the light emitting component 26. In particular, when an LED is used as the light emitting component 26, the light of the LED with high straightness can be diffused, so that the visibility of the light when viewed from the outside can be enhanced.
