Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a display surface to a color never injuring the beauty of a building at ordinary times and change the color to a conspicuous color in an emergency to increase guiding effect by making the color of a display surface changeable between ordinary time and emergency in a guiding light having a lamp and the display surface. CONSTITUTION:A guiding light has an equipment body 10 provided with a lighting device therein, a reflector 11 provided in the equipment body 10, a white lamp 12, and a display surface 13 provided on the front surface of the equipment body 11. In this case, the display surface 13 is divided into a color control part 15 and a color non-control part 16 to display a pattern, and the color control part 15 is color- controlled by a color control handle 14. The color of the color control part 15 is adjusted by the color control handle 14, for example, to a quiet color such as the background color of the place in which the guiding light is disposed at ordinary times, and switched to the complementary color or a preliminarily set conspicuous color in an emergency. Hence, the display surface 13 ordinarily has a quiet color such as background color and never damage the appearance of a building. In the emergency, it is changed to a conspicuous color such as the complementary color of the ordinary color, and a high guiding effect can be obtained.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a guide light that guides people to a safe place in the event of an emergency such as a power outage or fire.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, buildings, etc. where many people come and go,
Installation of guide lights is mandatory. As a guide light,
As shown in FIG. 7, one is used that has a built-in lamp (not shown) inside and a display surface 50 on the front.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In recent years, demands on the design of buildings have increased, and architectural departments with various designs have appeared. Under these circumstances, guide lights are not related to the design of the building. Something happened.

Therefore, if an attempt was made to create a guide light that matched the design of the building, there was a problem in that the guide light would become less conspicuous and the guiding effect in an emergency would be reduced.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a guide light that does not impair the beauty of buildings and does not reduce the guiding effect in an emergency.

[Means to solve the problem]

The guide light of the present invention has a lamp and a display surface, and the color of the display surface can be changed between normal and emergency situations.

[For production]

According to the guide light of this invention, the color of the display surface can be changed between normal and emergency situations, so the color is always set to a color that does not spoil the beauty of the building, and during an emergency, it is switched to a conspicuous color to enhance the guidance effect. It can be done.

〔Example〕

A first embodiment of this invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 10 is the appliance body with a built-in lighting device, etc., and 1
Reference numeral 1 represents a reflector provided within the instrument body 10, and 12 represents a white lamp. Reference numeral 13 denotes a display surface provided on the front surface of the device body 10, which is formed of a color toning panel that changes color depending on the voltage, and the color is adjusted by a color toning knob 14 provided on the bottom surface of the device body 10. . An example of a color toning panel is
Three panels, yellow, magenta, and cyan, which correspond to the three primary colors, are used to change the state from transparent to colored by the application of voltage, and each unit time is 1/30 seconds or less (preferably 1/30 seconds or less considering the visual afterimage effect). ) By adjusting the ratio of the colored time to the transparent time, it is possible to display any color. As shown in FIG. 2, the display surface 13 displays figures divided into a toning section I5 and a non-toning section 16.
Adjust the color of 5. For example, the color of the color toning section 15 is normally set to an inconspicuous color such as the background color of the location where the guide light is installed by adjusting the color toning knob 14, and in case of an emergency, it is set to a complementary color or a preset color. Make sure to switch to a color that stands out (such as green).

According to the guide light configured in this way, the display surface I3 has an inconspicuous color such as the background color at normal times, and does not impair the beauty of the building. In addition, in an emergency, the color is switched to a color that stands out, such as a complementary color to the usual color, and a high guidance effect can be obtained.

In addition to the color adjustment panel described in the above embodiments, the display surface 13 may be any other device that can change its color between normal and emergency situations.

A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

In the figure, 20 indicates a lighting device (not shown) or a reflector plate 21.
It is a device main body containing a built-in lamp 22, etc., and a display surface 23 is provided on the front surface.

The lamp 22 is an RGB lamp or the like that can be adjusted in color.
A color adjustment knob 24 provided on the lower surface of the instrument body 20 is operated to adjust the color via a color adjustment circuit (not shown). In addition, the display surface 23 has a transparent part 25 and a non-transparent part 2, as shown in FIG.
6 constitute a figure, and the transparent portion 25 appears to be the color of the lamp 22. The color of the lamp 22 is adjusted to an inconspicuous color under normal conditions, and is switched to a conspicuous color in an emergency. Furthermore, a lamp 22 is provided inside the appliance body 20.
In addition to the color adjustment circuit that adjusts the color, a dimmer circuit (not shown) that adjusts the brightness is also provided, which reduces the luminous flux to keep the display surface 23 dark during normal times, and increases the luminous flux during emergencies. This is to make it brighter.

According to the guide light configured in this way, the display surface 23 is a dark and inconspicuous color at normal times, so that the beauty of the building is not spoiled, and in an emergency, it is a bright and conspicuous color, and a high guiding effect can be obtained.

A third embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. In the figure,
30 is the main body of the instrument, and 33 is a thin display surface. A color adjusting lamp 32 is provided above the display surface 33, and illuminates the display surface 33 with a reflection plate 31. , 11
The color lamp 32 is normally colored to an inconspicuous color, and is switched to a conspicuous color in an emergency.

Even in the guide light configured in this way, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Furthermore, since the display screen 33 is displayed by shining light from outside, the device can be made thinner.

A fourth embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. In the figure,
40 is the device body, 41 is the display surface, 42 is a white lamp, 4
3 is a reflecting plate. The light from the lamp 42 passes through a color toning filter 44
The display surface 41 is illuminated through. The color toning filter 44 is composed of a color toning panel or the like that can display any color by applying a voltage, and normally adjusts the light from the lamp 42 to an inconspicuous color to illuminate the display surface 41, but in an emergency, it illuminates the display surface 41. On the other hand, tone it to a color that stands out.

The guide light configured in this manner also provides the same effects as the third embodiment.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the guide light of this invention, the color of the display surface can be changed between normal and emergency situations, so the color is always set to a color that does not spoil the beauty of the building, and during an emergency, it is switched to a conspicuous color to enhance the guidance effect. The effect is that it can be done.
