Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] Improve the visibility of stop signal lights such as red lights to the vehicle driver, etc., and improve the smoothness and safety of traffic. [Constitution] The display area of a red light 4 as a stop signal light is larger than that of a blue light 2 as a progress signal light.
Also, the display area of yellow 3 as a caution signal light is 2 blue lights.
The size of the red light 4 is intermediate between the red light 4 and the red light 4, and the red light 4 is made larger in this way, so that the driver can be more surely prompted to stop and contributes to the improvement of safety.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a traffic signal installed for smooth and safe traffic on roads and railways.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The most common types of traffic lights used at road intersections are usually equipped with three types of colored lights: blue lights indicating passage, yellow lights indicating caution, and red lights indicating stop. .. The display areas of these color lights are the same.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Here, red is used as the red light that emits a stop signal from the viewpoint of the color that most draws attention to the driver, but from the viewpoint of the display area, a blue light that emits a progress signal, etc. No consideration has been given compared to. It is an object of the present invention to provide a traffic light that raises a warning of a stop signal lamp that emits a stop signal to a driver or the like.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention solves this problem by making the display area of a stop signal light such as a red light larger than the display area of a traffic light such as a blue light.

[0005]

[Action and effect]

 As a result, the stop signal due to lighting of the red light or the like can be more strongly appealed to the driver or the like in a large display area, and the driver or the like can more reliably recognize the stop signal with a large display area. The smoothness and safety of traffic by traffic lights will be further enhanced.

【Example】

 Example 1 FIG. 1 shows a traffic signal 1 for a vehicle provided at an intersection of a road. This traffic signal 1 is provided with a blue light 2 as a traffic signal light, a yellow light 3 as a caution signal light, and a red light 4 as a stop signal light in this order from the left, which are fixed to a horizontally long frame 5. There is. Since these color lights (2, 3, 4) are all circular, the display area of the red light 4 is larger than that of the blue light 2, and the yellow light 3 is of the blue light 2 and the red light 4. It is supposed to be in the middle of. That is, the display areas of the blue, yellow, and red lights 2, 3, and 4 are sequentially increased in this order.

Second Embodiment A traffic light 10 shown in FIG. 2 is provided with a blue lamp 12 and a yellow lamp 13 having the same diameter in a horizontally long frame 15, while a red lamp 14 has a diameter slightly larger than those of them. ..

Third Embodiment A traffic light 20 shown in FIG. 3 is of a type in which a yellow light is omitted, and a frame 25 is provided with a blue light 22 and a red light 24 having a larger diameter.

Fourth Embodiment A traffic light 30 shown in FIG. 4 is a vertical version of the traffic light 1 shown in FIG. 1. A vertically long frame 35 includes a blue light 32, which is the smallest in order from the bottom, and a next large yellow light. 33, the largest red light 34 is arranged vertically.

(Fifth Embodiment) The traffic light 40 shown in FIG. 5 is a vertical type in which a yellow light is omitted, and a blue light 42 and a red light 44 having a larger diameter than that are vertically arranged on a vertically long frame 45. The vertical type shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 can be suitably used not only for roads but also for railways and the like.

(Sixth Embodiment) The traffic light 50 shown in FIG. 6 is for a pedestrian provided on a pedestrian crossing. A square blue light 52 is provided below the frame 55, and a blue light 52 is provided above the blue light 52. A similar large red light 54 is provided. In addition, in this traffic light 50, the blue light 52 is adapted to blink during the transitional period when the green signal is switched to the red signal.

Embodiment 7 In a traffic light 60 shown in FIG. 7, the blue light 2, the yellow light 3, and the red light 4 are successively increased in size, and the frame 65 is gradually widened in accordance with the increase. ..

(Embodiment 8) In the traffic light 70 shown in FIG. 8, the blue lamp 2, the yellow lamp 3 and the red lamp 4 are sequentially increased in size, and the frame 75 thereof includes the lamps 2 to 4 respectively. Three surrounding ring-shaped portions are formed in a form of being connected to each other, and the three ring-shaped portions are sequentially enlarged in accordance with the increase in size of each lamp 2 to 4.

In the embodiments described above, the red light is the stop signal light and the blue light is the traveling signal light, but these colors can be appropriately changed.
