Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an indicator used as a signal to following vehicles in the event of a vehicle accident or breakdown.

[Prior Art] A so-called triangular sign is used as an indicator for following vehicles in the event of an automobile accident or breakdown. This is required by law to be installed in vehicles, and most conventional triangular signs are foldable and placed upright on the road.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, there are times when the driver has to leave the vehicle to request rescue, etc., and there is a risk of theft with conventional indicators. Here, it is possible that the passenger is standing next to the sign, but this is extremely dangerous, especially on expressways.

Furthermore, since it needs to be installed upright on the road, it is quite heavy and requires a large amount of storage space in the trunk.

On the other hand, there are white towels on the doors and trunks of vehicles.
Another method is to use something like a towel. However, this lacks recognition from following vehicles and is not effective as a sign.

The present invention was developed under these circumstances, and aims to provide an indicator that is free from theft, can be easily installed, and does not take up much storage space.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the marking device of the present invention can be installed by simply inserting it into the trunk lid, and the upper left and right sides of the sheet-like base displaying the triangular mark are attached to strings, respectively. It is characterized in that it is connected to the rod body and a weight is provided at the bottom of the base body.

[Embodiment] (Structure) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the marking device of the present invention, and as shown, a triangular mark 2 is displayed on a sheet-like matrix 1.

The sheet-like matrix 1 is white and has a rectangular shape with a length of 50 cm and a width of 90 cm. For example, it is made of thick vinyl sheet or cloth, and vinyl sheet is particularly suitable for use in rainy weather.

The triangular mark 2 was displayed by printing on the mother body using red fluorescent dye, taking into consideration its visibility at night.

A rod 3 connected by a string 4 is provided on the upper part of the base 1. As will be described later, when installed by inserting it into the trunk,
This serves as a fastener to prevent the marking equipment from falling out, and its left and right sides are connected to the base body 1 using two strings 4.

The string 4 may be thick enough to pass through the gap (rubber seal) in the trunk when the trunk is closed, and have tensile strength to suspend the base body 1 and the weight 5, which will be explained later. For example, Fishing line is also sufficient.

On the other hand, a weight 5 is provided at the lower part of the base body 1. This prevents the base body from being blown over by wind and other factors during installation, and ensures that it can be recognized by vehicles following.

In this example, a rod-shaped weight 5 is used, and substantially both ends thereof are connected to the base body 1 by the string 4.

Furthermore, in this example, a winding string 6 was attached to the rod 3. This is to tighten the rolled-up base so that it does not spread when the indicating equipment is stored.

(Attachment method) Next, the attachment method of the above-mentioned marking equipment will be explained. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the installed state of the present marking device as seen from the rear of the vehicle.

Usually, a trunk is locked by engaging locking fittings provided at the center of the trunk and the lid. First, the trunk is opened, and the string 4 is hung around the edge of the trunk body so that the rod 3 is located inside the trunk and the base 1 and weight 5 are located outside. Then, the lid is closed so that the lock fitting is located between the two strings.

If attached in this way, the string 4 will be sandwiched between the rubber seals on each edge of the body and the lid, and will be attached to the base body 1.
and a weight 5 will be suspended outside the trunk. At this time, the rod 3 remains inside the trunk, and of course cannot pass between the rubber seals, and will not escape to the outside of the trunk due to the lock fitting being an obstacle. Therefore, the rod 3 serves as a fastener, and the base cannot be pulled out from the outside.

In this way, this embodiment can be installed with the extremely simple task of simply inserting it into the trunk.
Also, since the mother body cannot be pulled out, there is no need to worry about theft.

(Storing method) When storing, it is sufficient to wind it up into a scroll around the rod 3 or weight 5 as an axis. By making it into a scroll shape,
It does not take up much storage space and is convenient for storage. On this occasion,
By tying it up with the winding string 6, the mother body can be prevented from expanding. Figure 3 shows the rolled up state.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the following effects can be expected with the marking device of the present invention.

It can be easily installed by simply clipping it into the trunk.

When installed, the marking equipment is stuck in the trunk and cannot be removed, so there is no need to worry about theft.

The weight can prevent the mother body from rolling over. In addition, unlike conventional triangular signs, there is no need to set them upright on the road surface, so they will not be blown over by the wind. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the following vehicle recognizes the vehicle.

This is a type that suspends the mother body using a string, allowing for a large degree of freedom in determining the mother body size. In other words, it is possible to display a larger triangle mark than before.
This makes it easier to recognize vehicles behind you on expressways.

You can save storage space by rolling it up when storing.

Furthermore, when installing the system, no special work or installation tools are required on the trunk side, and the system can be applied to any vehicle.

In view of the above, it is more convenient to have the marking equipment of the present invention in addition to the conventional triangular markings.
