Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate identification at the time of two-wheeled vehicle's night running by selecting plural luminous units separately se as to enable lighting. CONSTITUTION:Plural luminous units 3 which have LEDs as light sources are mounted at the outside circular part 2a of a lighting fixture main body 2, and the lighting becomes possible with a controller 4 and a power source part 5 which are formed at the end of a lighting fixture main body 2. The power source part 5 is connected with a pulse oscillator 4b of this the controller 4, which outputs pulse waves at regular intervals being set so as to light the luminous unit 3. A helmet 10 which comes on and off in this way with the same identification signals being set is used. Herby, for example, even in the case that plural groups get complicated during night running, easy identification becomes possible.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a signal light used for traffic equipment, and more particularly to a light fixture intended to be attached to a helmet worn by a rider of a two-wheeled vehicle.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when a plurality of two-wheeled vehicles travel together in a group, such as when touring, patches or the like are attached to the vehicle body to serve as a mark to identify the group.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with the conventional patches mentioned above, it is extremely difficult to recognize people at night, especially when multiple groups are involved, causing problems such as losing track of one's friends.Solving this problem is an issue. It was something that

[Means to solve the problem]

As a specific means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a lamp body formed in a substantially arc shape, and a plurality of LED elements disposed on the outer arc portion of the lamp body. a light-emitting unit, a control section disposed inside the lamp body that allows each of the light-emitting units to be individually selected and turned on or blinking, and a control section similarly disposed inside the lamp body so that the battery can be replaced. By providing a helmet-mounted signal light characterized by comprising a power supply section and a power supply section, it is possible to easily identify groups even at night, thereby solving the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

【Example】

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. What is indicated by the reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a helmet-mounted signal light according to the present invention, and the lamp body 2 of this helmet-mounted signal light 1 is made of, for example, a resin member to fit the shape of the back of the head of a helmet 10. It is formed in an arc shape. A plurality of light emitting units 3 each having an LED as a light source are attached to an outer arcuate portion 2a1 of the lamp body 2, that is, a position that can be seen from a following person (car), and is formed at the end of the lamp body 2. Lighting can be performed by the control section 4 and the power supply section 5. Here, the control section 4 is provided with an openable/closable lid 4a, etc., and by opening this and performing adjustment work, the lighting state of the light emitting unit 3 can be adjusted. 5 is also provided with a battery cover 5a so that a battery 5b set inside can be replaced, and the helmet-mounted signal light 1 itself can be attached to a commonly used helmet 10 by using appropriate means such as double-sided adhesive tape. Installation is possible. FIG. 2 shows the light emitting unit 3, the control section 4, and the power supply section 5.
In order to make the explanation more concrete and easier to understand, an example in which six light emitting units 31 to 36 are provided will be described. The battery 5b of the power supply section 5 is, for example, 006P according to the JIS standard.
This power supply unit 5 uses standard batteries such as dry batteries and is replaceable using a prescribed replacement means.
A pulse oscillator 4b of the control unit 4 is connected to, and outputs pulse waves at time intervals set by, for example, a volume VR. In order to reduce power consumption and extend the life of the battery 5b, it is preferable that the oscillator 4 has a small duty ratio, such as a 2-second pause and a 0.1-second output. This control section 4 is further provided with switches 41c to 46c, the same number as the light emitting units 31 to 36, and the light emitting units 31 to 46c are connected to each other via the respective switches 41c to 48c.
36 are connected to the output of the oscillator 4a. When using the helmet-mounted signal light 1 of the present invention configured as described above, the identification symbols of the groups to which it belongs are set, for example, to the light emitting units 31, 33, and 36, as shown in FIG.
The switches 41c to 4 of the control unit 4 of the helmet-mounted signal light 1 of all members of this group are set to blink.
8c, 41c...0N 42c...0FF 43c...0N 44c...0FF 45c...0FF 48c... . . . ON, and if necessary, the VR is also adjusted so that the blinking cycle is almost the same. By doing this, all the helmets 10 in a group such as a touring group can flash with the same predetermined identification symbol.
This makes it possible to easily identify multiple groups when they are mixed up, for example when driving at night. It should be noted that the above explanation is a detailed explanation of the present invention,
For example, changes such as making the above-mentioned identification symbol Balinese Chiron even more versatile by adopting a plurality of colors such as red, green, and yellow for the light emitting unit are free, and such changes do not impair the gist of the present invention. It goes without saying that it is not.

【Effect of the invention】

As explained above, the present invention provides a helmet-mounted signal light that has a plurality of light-emitting units and a control unit that can individually select and turn on the light-emitting units, so that everyone can wear a helmet when driving. However, in two-wheeled vehicles where it is difficult to identify individuals, the light emitted by the light emitting unit,
By setting a unique identification symbol by the control unit, it can be easily identified even when driving at night, and has the excellent effect of preventing inconveniences such as losing sight of your companions. It also improves visibility from other vehicles and is effective in preventing accidents.
