Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a dozy drive and remove the fatigue on the back and waist as necessary by burying tappers at the portion corresponding to the back of a driver in a driver's seat and a cylindrical flexible vibrator at the portion corresponding to the waist. CONSTITUTION:Rectangular rubber-coated covers 5 and 7 are removed, holes 4a and 6a are opened, tappers 2 and 8 and a vibrator 3 are mounted in storage sections 4 and 6, they are covered with rectangular rubber-coated covers 5 and 7 again, and the timing, time, and the strength of stimulation are set in a controller 9 in advance. When a driver becomes a dozy state, the stimulation with the proper strength sufficient to awaken doziness for a proper time at the proper timing is applied to the driver, and a dozy drive can be prevented.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Fields The present invention is attached to the driver's seat of a car, and applies vibrations to the driver's neck, back, waist, etc. at the necessary time and intensity, thereby reducing drowsiness. This invention relates to a drowsiness wake-up device for preventing drowsy driving, which can wake up and prevent drowsy driving and also eliminate fatigue.

<Conventional technology> When you are driving a car and are tired or have been driving for a long time, drowsiness may attack you and you may end up dozing off at the wheel, which unfortunately may cause an accident. However, no effective means for this has yet been found.

In addition, various types of vibrators have traditionally been used for body massage, especially on the backrests of sofas etc.
This is an automatic massager that is embedded with parts that provide stimulation such as friction and hitting, and provides various stimulations to the neck, back, lower back, etc. for the required time and strength while sitting on the sofa and operating the controller. Although it is widely used, when trying to apply some of it to the driver's seat of a car, there are problems in that it is complicated and large, and does not fit in the driver's seat, making it difficult to apply.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention> Based on the above, if you set it in advance, even if you tend to doze off, you will be able to wake up at an appropriate time and time with an appropriate intensity that is sufficient to wake you up. There is a need for a drowsiness alarm device that provides stimulation to the driver, prevents drowsy driving, and can be easily applied to the driver's seat of an automobile. An object of the present invention is to provide a drowsiness wake-up device for preventing drowsy driving, which solves the above problem of sM.

Means for solving the above problems〉 This will be explained with reference to the drawings. In order to achieve the above object, the drowsiness wake-up device for preventing drowsy driving according to the first invention has a tapping device 2 embedded in a portion 1a of the driver's seat 1 that corresponds to the back of the driver, and a circular impact device 2 in the portion 1b that corresponds to the waist of the driver. It is constructed by embedding a columnar flexible vibrator 3.

A drowsiness alarm device for preventing drowsy driving according to the second invention has a vibrator 8 with a tapping function buried in a portion 1a of the driver's seat 1 that corresponds to the back of the driver, and a cylindrical flexible vibrator 3 buried in a portion 1b that corresponds to the waist of the driver. This is what happens.

<Function> The drowsiness alarm device configured as described above for preventing drowsy driving can be set in advance on the controller 9, so that even if it is easy to doze off, the drowsiness alarm device for preventing drowsiness while driving can be set at an appropriate time and time. It provides the driver with a stimulus of appropriate strength to wake him up, preventing him from falling asleep at the wheel, and can also be used to relieve back and lower back fatigue as needed. Embodiment> First, a first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the driver's seat of an automobile, a sponge rubber core 1x is covered with a sheet of cloth ly. Reference numeral 2 denotes a hitting device 2 embedded in a portion 1a corresponding to the back of the driver's seat 1, which allows two upper and lower hitting balls 2a, 2a to be reciprocated and angularly moved on a horizontal axis in a Yajirobe-like manner via arms 2b, 2b. It is combined with . 3 is a cylindrical flexible vibrator embedded in the part 1b of the driver's seat l, which corresponds to the driver's waist. 4 is a beating tool storage section,
A hole 4a is formed by hollowing out a box-shaped portion 1a of the driver's seat 1 that corresponds to the driver's back. It consists of a thick cloth 4b that covers the inner surface of the hole 4& and is sewn around the periphery, and a plastic bottom plate 4C laid on the bottom. Reference numeral 5 denotes a rectangular rubber-covered cover that covers the beating instrument storage section 4 in which the beating instrument is stored, and a magic tape 5a for attachment to the surface of the driver's seat l is pasted around the periphery. Reference numeral 6 denotes a vibrator storage section, and a hole 6a is formed by hollowing out the part 1b of the driver's seat 1 corresponding to the waist of the driver into a semi-cylindrical shape.The inner surface of the hole 6a is covered and the surrounding area is sewn to the driver's seat 1. It consists of a thick cloth 6b and a plastic bottom plate 6c laid on its inner surface. Reference numeral 7 denotes a rectangular rubber-covered cover that covers the vibrator storage section 6 that stores the vibrator 3, and is surrounded by a driver's seat l.
A magic tape 7a is attached to the surface of the holder. Note that by removing the rectangular rubber covers 5 and 7 and opening the holes 4a and 6a, the beating device 2 and vibrator 3 can be easily loaded into and taken out from the storage sections 4 and 6.

Next, to explain the second embodiment, 8 is a vibrator with a hitting function used in place of the hitting device 2, and like the hitting device 2, the upper and lower two hitting balls 8a, 8a are connected to the arm 8b.
8b, it is connected to the horizontal axis in a Yajibe-like manner so that it can reciprocate and angularly move, and is embedded in the part 1a of the driver's seat 1 that corresponds to the driver's back, and it also has a vibration effect in addition to the striking effect. ing.

In addition, 9 is a controller, and if the activation timing, time, and strength of stimulation are set, the beating device 2, vibrators 3, 8
can be activated automatically.

Next, the effect will be explained. In both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the rectangular rubber covers 5 and 7 are removed, the holes 4 and 6a are spaced, and the beating device 2, vibrator 3,
8 into the storage compartments 4 and 6, cover it again with the rectangular rubber cover 5.7, and set the timing, time, and intensity of stimulation in advance on the controller 9, so that it is easy to doze off. Even if the driver falls asleep at the wheel, the driver can be prevented from falling asleep at the wheel by providing the driver with stimulation of the appropriate strength to wake up the driver at the appropriate time and time. Effects of the Invention> Since the present invention is configured as described above, it can be installed in one car! ! If you have one, you can prevent drowsy driving by simply setting the controller 7 as necessary.
