Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to ski skis.

[Prior art] In recent years, ski technology has been analyzed from an ergonomic point of view, and new materials such as high-strength resin materials containing carbon have been developed. Not only that, but also in wear and the like, the performance was significantly improved.

By the way, while skiing has one aspect as a vigorous athletic competition, it also has one aspect as a leisure sport that men and women of all ages can easily enjoy. Therefore, when developing ski equipment, consideration should be given to fashionability. It is an important point.

Up to now, in the case of stock, fashion has been competed mainly by applying bold coloring (coloring) to the surface of the shaft (also called pole) and the grip.

[Issues to be solved by the invention] However, recently, since the number of ski resorts equipped with night equipment has increased so that people can enjoy skiing at night,
In the future, it can be said that the time has come to consider fashionability, including improvements in visibility during night gliding.

In addition, considering that skiing is performed even in bad weather when visibility is reduced due to snowstorms and thick fog, improving visibility in ski equipment further improves safety and further improves skiing in ski classrooms. It is considered to be effective in facilitating technical instruction and improving skiing skills.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and visibility,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a ski stock that is excellent in fashionability, and that the good visibility can be used for improving skiing technology and safety.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a light emitting part on the surface of a tubular shaft, and a battery for supplying power to the light emitting part can be housed inside the shaft. The light emitting part is integrally formed by arranging a plurality of LED chips on a ceramic substrate and molding the resin chips with a transparent resin, and is fixed to the shaft surface. The battery is detachably attached to a tool plate, and the battery is replaced in an inner case including a bottomed cylindrical main body provided in the hollow portion at the upper end of the shaft and a lid for opening and closing the upper opening of the main body. In addition to being capable of being housed, the wiring for supplying electric power from the battery to the light emitting unit is formed inside the shaft. In which was formed.

[Operation] With the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to secure safety during snowstorms, heavy fog, or even at night when skiing, with excellent durability, easy maintenance, and remarkably easy manufacture of ski stocks. That is what I got.

That is, by "providing the light emitting portion on the surface of the shaft body", it is possible to allow the light emitted from the light emitting portion to reach four directions as compared with the case where it is provided inside the shaft, and to function as a mark. It is significantly higher. at the same time,
By providing the light emitting portion on the surface of the shaft main body, the structure of the shaft main body can be remarkably simplified as compared with the case where the light emitting portion is housed inside, which makes the manufacturing extremely easy. With the structure in which the housing is provided inside the shaft body, it becomes extremely difficult to manufacture the shaft by the molding method.

On the other hand, when the light emitting part is provided on the surface of the shaft body, the light emitting element is exposed, and the resistance to external environment and shock is inevitably weakened. However, the light emitting part is formed by "arranging a plurality of LED chips on a ceramic substrate and It is possible to compensate for this by forming it integrally by molding with a transparent resin.

Further, since the light emitting portion is integrally formed in this manner, the light emitting portion can be "removably attached to a jig plate fixed to the surface of the shaft body", and maintenance is facilitated.

Furthermore, by allowing the battery to be “removably housed in an inner case consisting of a bottomed cylindrical main body provided in the hollow portion at the upper end of the shaft main body and a lid that opens and closes the upper opening of the main body”, Using the upper end of the shaft, a battery can be easily replaced. At the same time, by providing the inner case and accommodating the battery therein, it is possible to manufacture the inner case separately from the shaft body and assemble them. This makes it possible to produce each by a molding method, which makes the production considerably easier. If the battery housing is made integral with the shaft body, manufacturing by the molding method will be extremely difficult and the cost will increase.

And because it's relatively small, it's inconspicuous even if it's installed outside. "By providing the light emitting part on the surface of the shaft main body", the visibility is improved, and the relatively large "battery is stored in the inner case" It is possible to make it compact. At the same time, this configuration makes it extremely easy to adopt a configuration in which "wiring for supplying electric power from the battery to the light emitting portion is formed inside the shaft body". That is, in the structure in which the light emitting unit is provided in the shaft body and the battery is housed in the housing unit formed integrally with the shaft body, the wiring work in the shaft body is extremely difficult during manufacturing. On the other hand, in the above configuration of the present application, both the light emitting unit and the inner case are attached to the shaft afterward, so that the wiring material can be passed through the shaft in advance and connected before they are assembled, so that the wiring work is extremely difficult. Of course, if the wiring material that can be easily carried out is not exposed to the outside, it will be easy to handle and it will be remarkably advantageous in improving durability. Since the LED is inherently suitable for weight reduction and compactness, the light emitting portion by the LED can be lightly and compactly mounted on the ski pole, and does not interfere with handling during skiing.

In addition, since the light emitting portion by the LED can emit light with high luminous intensity, the stock according to the present invention has a significantly improved visibility due to the light emitting portion, which can be useful for confirming the position of the skier, and it is possible to use snow or dense fog. As a result, it is possible to improve safety in bad weather where visibility is reduced or when gliding at night.

Further, by providing the light emitting unit along the length direction of the shaft of the stock over an appropriate length,
It becomes easy to visually recognize the movement (swing) of the stock at the time of gliding, which makes it possible to more accurately judge the operation of the skier's stock at the time of training etc., which is useful for improving skiing technique.

In addition, since the light emitting portion of the LED emits a bright color, it is possible to produce a pattern with a clear color and improve fashionability.

[Embodiment] Figs. 1 and 2 show a ski stock according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

In these drawings, reference numeral 1 is a shaft, 2 is a grip portion, 3 is a grip band used when gripping the grip portion 2, 4 is a ring, 5a and 5b are light emitting portions by LEDs, respectively, and 6 is the light emitting portion 5. The battery 6 is housed in the hollow portion in the upper portion (base end portion) of the shaft 1.

By removing the lid body 2c from the main body 2a, the upper end of the shaft 1 can be exposed and plays a role of opening and closing the accommodating portion of the battery 6 when the battery is replaced.

The light emitting portion 5a is attached to the surface of the light emitting portion attaching portion 2b.

The light emitting portion 5b is attached to the surface of the shaft 1 at a position separated from the light emitting portion attaching portion 2b by an appropriate distance.

Each of these light emitting units 5a and 5b has a luminous intensity of 100.
Multiple LEs of 0 mcd class (about 5 in the embodiment)
D chips are arranged on a ceramic substrate, the electrodes to each LED chip are connected in parallel with each other, and each LED chip on the ceramic substrate is molded with a transparent resin to form a plate-shaped integrated light emission. It is a body.

The voltage required for light emission of the LED chip in these light emitting portions 5a and 5b differs depending on the LED material used.

In the case of As, the required voltage is 1.7V.

Here, in each of the above-mentioned light emitting units 5a and 5b, red,
It is also possible to mix and use LEDs of various emission colors such as green, orange, and yellow. Therefore, in this embodiment, as the battery 6, a 3V lithium battery is used in order to allow a voltage, and the voltage supplied to each LED chip depends on the chip resistance provided on the back surface of the ceramic substrate. Adjust to an appropriate value.

The above-mentioned light emitting parts 5a and 5b are attached to each of the above-mentioned positions via a jig plate G that holds the ceramic substrate in a removable manner so that it can be easily replaced.

The accommodating portion of the battery 6 is waterproof and insulated by adopting a resin inner case 7 or the like.

In addition, the wiring 8 from the battery 6 to each of the light emitting portions 5a and 5b
The a and 8b are laid inside the shaft 1 to prevent the electric wiring from being exposed on the outer surface of the stock, thereby improving the durability.

In the case of this embodiment, the battery 6 to each light emitting unit 5 are
Power supply to a and 5b is turned on / off by a power switch (not shown) provided on the lid 2c, but the power switch is installed at any position on the surface of the shaft 1 or the grip portion 2. Can be set to.

Since the LED is inherently suitable for weight reduction and compactness, the light emitting parts 5a and 5b by the LED can be lightly and compactly mounted on the ski stock, which is an obstacle to handling during sliding. I won't.

Further, since the light emitting portions 5a and 5b by the LED can emit light with high luminous intensity, the visibility is remarkably improved by the light emitting portions 5a and 5b, and it can be useful for confirming the position of the skier. As a result, it is possible to improve safety in bad weather where visibility is reduced or when gliding at night.

Further, by providing the light emitting portions 5a and 5b along the length direction of the stock shaft over an appropriate length as in the embodiment, the stock movement (swing) during sliding Becomes easier to visually recognize, which makes it possible to more accurately judge the operation of the skier's stock during training or the like, which can be useful for improving skiing skills.

Moreover, since the light emitting portions 5a and 5b by the LEDs emit light in vivid colors, it is possible to produce a pattern of vivid colors.
Fashionability can also be improved.

The number of LED chips that make up one light emitting unit,
The number of light emitting units, the mounting position of the light emitting units, the mounting method, and the like are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment.

For example, by appropriately increasing or decreasing the number of LED chips to be used, it is possible to increase or decrease the size of the light emitting unit itself. Further, by disposing a large number of light emitting units on the shaft at regular intervals, more fashionability, The visibility can be improved.

Also, for example, by using only one light emitting unit,
You can also simplify the design.

Further, the arrangement of the LED chips in each light emitting portion is arbitrarily designed in consideration of the pattern obtained by the light emission, for example, the arrangement of the plurality of LED chips represents a specific mark or character. Is.

Further, the battery for causing the LED chip to emit light is not limited to the lithium battery described above, and various existing batteries such as a silver oxide battery, an alkaline button battery, a mercury battery, or a flat solar battery can be used. Needless to say, is available.
