As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 10-103495, a solar cell and a light emitting diode are mounted on the upper part of the floating body, and the upper part of the floating body is made to emit light. However, since all of these buoy lamps emit light at low positions, it is difficult to confirm the existence of the buoy lamp when the wind wave is high or from a distance, and it is difficult to find the buoy lamp in the daytime.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its object is to identify the daytime by attaching a mark to a pole standing on the floating body. Another object of the present invention is to provide a buoy lamp which can be easily confirmed at night, and the existence of the buoy lamp can be confirmed by the light source light, and moreover, the sign can be confirmed even at night.

[0004]

A buoy lamp according to a first aspect of the present invention is provided with a light-transmitting protective cover on a floating body, and a solar battery, a rechargeable battery charged by the output of the solar battery, and a rechargeable battery as a power source. In the buoy light, which is formed by hermetically sealing the light source with the protection cover, the protection cover is formed in a donut shape, and a pole insertion hole is formed in the center of the protection cover. It is characterized in that the marker pole is erected by detachably inserting the lower end portion.

The buoy lamp according to claim 2 is the buoy lamp according to claim 1, wherein the light source is disposed below the solar cell,
A gap is provided between the solar cell and the marker pole to allow light from the light source to pass therethrough.

[0006]

According to the buoy lamp of claim 1, the protection cover is formed in a donut shape, and a pole insertion hole is formed in the central portion of the protection cover, and the lower end portion of the marker pole is attached to and detached from the pole insertion hole. Since the marker pole is vertically inserted by being freely inserted, it is possible to visually recognize the marker in the daytime and identify the marker, and it is possible to confirm the presence of the buoy lamp by the light source light at night.

According to the buoy lamp of the second aspect, since the light source is arranged below the solar cell, and a gap is provided between the solar cell and the marker pole for the light source to pass therethrough.
Although the space for installing the solar cell is reduced by the provision of the insertion hole for the marker pole in the center, by disposing the solar cell above the light source, it is not necessary to avoid the light source and dispose the solar cell. The installation space of the battery can be expanded, and the offset of the installation space ensures the required light-receiving area of the solar cell even if the insertion hole for the marker pole is provided in the center. On the other hand, by "providing the solar cell above the light source", the light from the light source that goes upward is blocked by the solar cell. However, since "there is a gap between the solar cell and the marker pole", The light emitted from the light source illuminates the marker pole. Therefore, in addition to the light source light emitted outward from the outer peripheral portion of the protective cover, it is possible to illuminate the marker pole with the light source light so as to be raised above the sea surface.
