A translucent plate body 12 is arranged in a width direction of a vehicle entrance and exit, and a light emitting portion is formed in the longitudinal direction of the surface and is arranged over substantially the entire length of the back surface of the plate body 12 by roughening. And a fiber sheet 21 composed of an optical fiber 22.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a lighting device for a vehicle entrance / exit.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, in order to illuminate step 1 provided at an entrance / exit of a vehicle such as a bus, an illumination lamp 7 is usually arranged on a side wall of the entrance / exit.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the spot-like illumination by the illumination lamp 7, it is impossible to illuminate the upper surface of the step board 2 of Step 1 uniformly over its entire width, and the shadow of the Step 1 can be formed on the lower step surface 8, There was a problem that it was difficult to get on and off at night.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an illumination device capable of uniformly illuminating a vehicle entrance / exit in the width direction.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a translucent plate body disposed in the width direction of a vehicle entrance and exit, and a light output by roughening, which is arranged over substantially the entire length of the back surface of the plate body. And a fiber sheet formed of an optical fiber having a projecting portion formed in the longitudinal direction of the surface.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the vehicle entrance / exit illumination device configured as described above, the light exiting through the plate body from the light emitting portion formed in the longitudinal direction of each optical fiber of the fiber sheet makes the vehicle entrance / exit even in the width direction. Illuminated.

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In Figure 1 which shows the entrance and exit of the bus in perspective view and in Figure 2 which shows the side section, the front edge of Step 1 provided at the entrance and exit is the lighting that also serves as a non-slip over the entire width of Step 1. The plate 11 is assembled.

The illumination plate 11 is mainly composed of a plate body 12 and a fiber sheet 21. The plate body 12 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent synthetic resin and has a length that extends over substantially the entire width of Step 1 and is parallel to the step surface of the step plate 2 of step 1 and the front plate 3 of step 1. The front plate 14 and the parallel front plate 14 are integrally formed to have an inverted L-shaped cross section.

Further, a plurality of locking claws 15 are provided at the lower edge of the front plate 14 of the plate body 12 so as to project at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the front plate 14, while the upper plate 13 of the plate body 12 is provided. A plurality of mounting holes 16 are formed at a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction of the upper plate 13 on the inner side of the upper plate 13. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the plate body 12 is locked by inserting the locking claws 15 of the front plate 14 thereof into the locking holes 4 penetrating the front plate 3 of step 1. On the other hand, the clip 6 is fitted into the mounting hole 5 penetrating the step plate 2 of the step 1 through the mounting holes 16 of the upper plate 13 of the plate body 12, so that the clip 6 can be mounted in the step 1. Further, an uneven surface 17 for preventing slippage is formed on the upper surface of the upper plate 13 of the plate body 12.

In the longitudinal direction of the back surface of the plate body 12, a recess 18 is formed from the upper portion of the front plate 14 to the vicinity of the mounting hole 16 of the upper plate 13, and the recess 18 is supported by the base plate 20. The fiber sheet 21 is attached.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the fiber sheet 21 is formed by arranging optical fibers 22 in a woven fabric shape, and a light emitting portion by roughening is formed in the longitudinal direction of the surface of the optical fiber 22. ing.

The connecting optical fiber 24 extended from the fiber sheet 21 via the connector 23 is supported by a lamp 25 arranged inside the vehicle body near the entrance / exit.

This embodiment is constructed as described above. Therefore, when the lamp 25 is turned on, the light emitted by the lamp 25 is guided to the respective optical fibers 22 of the fiber sheet 21, and emitted from the light emitting portions of these optical fibers 22 through the plate body 12. This ensures that step 1 is illuminated uniformly over its entire width, so that the leading edge of step 1 is clear over its entire width, making it safer to get in and out of the vehicle.

In the above embodiment, the case where the lighting plate 11 is assembled to the step 1 provided at the entrance / exit of the bus has been described, but the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, a lighting plate that also serves as a garnish may be attached to the roof side and floor side portions around the side doors of passenger cars.

[0015]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the vehicle exits and exits are uniformly illuminated in the width direction by the light emitted through the plate body from the light emitting portion formed in the longitudinal direction of each optical fiber of the fiber sheet. Therefore, it is possible to improve the safety of getting on and off the vehicle.
