【Example】

 The details of the mounting leg of the vehicle-mounted warning light of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 is a warning light.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a base of the warning light 1, which is formed of, for example, an extruded product of aluminum, and has a left-right direction (a leftward downward direction in FIG. 2 is a left side, and a rightward upward direction is a right side). "Right side" and "left side" mean "right side" and "left side" when viewed from the front, and the direction diagonally upward left in the figure is the direction backward and diagonally downward right. Is the front side. In the following description, the direction shall be based on this direction.) The cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is formed in a substantially dish shape, and Flat surface portions 2a, 2a protruding inward are formed on both side edges, respectively, and ridges 3, 3 (see FIG. 1) extending in the left-right direction are formed on the bottom portion thereof.

Numerals 4 and 4 are gloves fixed to the left and right ends of the upper flat surface portions 2a, 2a of the base 2 and fixed on the both ends, for example, by transparent synthetic resin having a predetermined warning color. Is formed into a substantially elliptic cylindrical shape, and unit bases 5 and 5 (only one of which is shown in the drawing) are fixed to the inner bottom portion of the unit bases 5 and 5. Warning units 6, 6 (only one of which is shown) are also supported.

The warning unit 6 includes a rotation unit 7 and a sequential blinking unit 8. The rotating unit 7 is composed of rotating paraboloidal reflecting mirrors 9 and 9 rotatably supported on the unit base 6 and a light bulb 10 arranged at a focal point common to the reflecting mirrors 9 and 9. By rotating the reflecting mirrors 9 while the light bulb 10 is turned on, it appears as if it is flashing in the surroundings.

Further, the sequential blinking unit 8 is composed of an inclined mirror 11 which is erected on the unit base 6 and has three reflecting portions, and the light bulb 10. The three reflecting portions 11a, 11b, and 11c of the tilted mirror 11 sequentially reflect the light from the light bulb 10 substantially forward.

Reference numeral 12 is a reflecting mirror provided on the unit base 6 so as to face rearward, and 13 is a light bulb arranged such that its light emitting portion is at the focal position of the reflecting mirror 12.

Reference numerals 14 and 14 denote speakers, which are fixed to a portion of the base 2 sandwiched between the two gloves 4, 4 so that one speaker 14 faces forward and the other speaker 14 faces rearward. It is provided.

The speaker covers 15 and 15 are laterally U-shaped when viewed from the side and have a large number of sound output holes 15a, 15a, ... (Only part of which is shown in the drawing). The speaker covers 15 and 15 are attached to the base 2 so as to form a substantially elliptic cylinder when viewed from the side, and the speakers 14 and 14 are covered with the speaker covers 15 and 15. There is.

Reference numerals 16 and 16 denote brackets that are individually fixed to the bottom surface of the base 2 near the left and right ends. Since these two brackets 16 and 16 have the same shape, only one of them will be described.

The bracket 16 is formed by bending a metal plate such as an iron plate. The bracket 16 is formed by protruding a portion 18 (hereinafter, referred to as “main part”) excluding front and rear end portions 17 and 17 (hereinafter, referred to as “mounting piece”) in a lower trapezoidal shape. The two bolt insertion holes 18a, 18a are formed in the front and rear of the mounting piece 17, and the bolt insertion holes 17a, 17a are formed in the mounting pieces 17, 17, respectively.

In the bracket 16, the bolts 19 and 19 that are vertically provided from the base 2 of the warning light 1 are inserted into the bolt insertion holes 18 a and 18 a of the main portion 18, and the main portions 18 of the bolts 19 and 19 are inserted. The nuts 20, 20 are screwed to the portion projecting downward of the base 2, and are fixed to the bottom surface of the base 2 at positions near the left and right ends.

Further, the bolts 21, 21 inserted from above through the bolt insertion holes 17a, 17a of the mounting pieces 17, 17 of the bracket 16 are inserted through the bolt insertion holes 22a, 22a formed in the roof 22 of the vehicle body, Inside the roof 22, nuts 23, 23 are screwed together, which attaches the bracket 16 to the roof 22. Then, the other bracket 16 is similarly fixed to the base 2 and the roof 22 of the warning light 1, so that the warning light 1 is attached to the roof 22 of the vehicle body.

Reference numerals 24 and 24 are covers that cover the brackets 16 and 16. Since the two covers 24 and 24 have the same structure, only one of them will be described.

The cover 24 is formed by joining cover halves 25 and 26, which are formed so as to be divided into two parts on the left and right.

A locking piece 27 protruding toward the other end is formed at one end of one cover half 25, and a boss portion 28 protruding toward the other cover half 26 is formed on the inner surface of a portion near the other end. The boss portion 28 is formed with a screw hole 28a having an opening at its tip. The tip of the boss 28 is located at the same position as or slightly inside the opening surface of the other cover half 26 side.

A protrusion 29 protruding toward the one cover half 25 is formed at a position slightly closer to the other end on one end of the other cover half 26, and a surface of the other end of the protrusion 29 opposite to the other end. An engaging recess 29a is formed in the. Further, a boss portion 30 projecting toward one cover half 25 is formed at a position near the other end of the cover half 26, and an outer side of the boss portion 30 is a concave portion 30a which is opened outward, and An insertion hole 30b is formed at the tip of the boss 30. The tip of the boss portion 30 is located at the same position as or slightly inside the opening surface of the one cover half 25 side.

In such cover halves 25 and 26, the engaging piece 27 of one cover half 25 is engaged with the engaging recess 29 a of the other cover half 26 so that the bracket 16 is sandwiched from the left and right. Then, the screw 31 inserted through the recess 30a from the outside through the insertion hole 30b of the other cover half 26 is screwed into the screw hole 28a of the one cover half 25 to be coupled. As a result, the cover 24 is formed. It should be noted that such cover halves 25 and 26 are preferably made of a synthetic resin having a slightly elastic property.

The cover 24 is formed with an opening 32 that is long in the front-rear direction on the upper surface thereof, and the lower surface is entirely opened. Therefore, when the bracket 16 is mounted as described above, the opening edge of the opening 32 on the upper surface is in close contact with the lower surface of the base 2, and the opening edge on the lower side is in close contact with the roof 22 of the vehicle body. As a result, the bracket 16 and the bolts 19, 19, 21, 21 and the like are shut off from the outside.

7 and 8 show a modification 33 of the cover.

The cover is integrally formed of a synthetic resin having a slightly elastic property.

A lower surface of the cover 33 is opened, and an opening 34 is formed on the upper surface, leaving both front and rear ends. Insertion holes 35, 35 are formed in a portion of the upper surface between the end of the opening 34 and the front and rear ends. Further, the inside of the lower opening edge is cut out over the entire circumference to form an engaging edge 36.

Then, such a cover 33 is covered on the bracket 16 in advance, and the bracket 16 is attached to the base 2 of the warning light 1 in that state. As a result, the opening edge of the upper opening 34 of the cover 33 comes into close contact with the lower surface of the base 2, and the engaging edge 36 formed on the lower opening edge engages with the peripheral edge of the bracket 16. Then, in this state, the insertion holes 35, 35 formed at both front and rear ends of the cover 33 are located substantially directly above the bolt insertion holes 17a, 17a of the mounting pieces 17, 17 of the bracket 16.

Therefore, when the warning light 1 is attached to the roof 22 of the vehicle body, the bolts 21, 21 can be operated through the insertion holes 35, 35.

Reference numerals 37 and 37 denote closing pieces, which are attached to the cover 33 after the warning light 1 is attached to the roof 22 of the vehicle body and close the insertion holes 35 and 35 thereof.

As a result, the bracket 16 and the bolts 19, 19, 21, 21 and the like are shut off from the outside.
