Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a safety umbrella having a light emitting function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional umbrella is composed of a handle and an umbrella shaft provided on the handle, an umbrella frame for opening and closing the umbrella cloth at one end of the umbrella shaft, and a stone stone provided at the end of the umbrella shaft. In terms of functionality, it was basically necessary to open the umbrella cloth to block the rain.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above-mentioned conventional products have problems in traffic safety, such as lack of visibility during heavy rainfall or nighttime rain with little lighting, making it difficult for vehicle drivers to find passers-by. Of course, there were conventional products that considered safety, but they were not practical.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention makes a lighting circuit consisting of a power supply, a power switch and a light source built into the handle, emits light, stones with an optical fiber built into the umbrella shaft and the umbrella bone, and attaches it to the bone end part provided at one end of the umbrella bone. By guiding the light and causing the light emitting part consisting of the stone stone and the bone ends to emit light, the visibility in rainy weather at night is enhanced and the above problem is solved.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the power switch provided on the handle is turned on, voltage is supplied to the light source built into the handle, and the light source emits light. The light from the light source is guided by an optical fiber connected to the stone stone in a state where one end is arranged on the handle and incorporated in the umbrella shaft, and the light emitting part made of the stone stone is caused to emit light.

On the other hand, part of the light of the light source guided to the optical fiber incorporated in the umbrella shaft is guided to the optical fiber incorporated in the umbrella bone that is optically connected to the optical fiber, and the tip of the umbrella bone is The light-emitting part made up of the epiphyses provided at the position is made to emit light.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a safety umbrella according to the present invention. A safety umbrella according to the present invention is provided with a handle 1 incorporating a lighting circuit including a power source, a power switch, and a light source, an umbrella shaft 2 provided on the handle 1, and an end portion of the umbrella shaft 2. A stone pad 3 made of translucent resin, a plurality of umbrella ribs 5 radially arranged to open and close the umbrella cloth 4 at one end of the umbrella shaft 2, and provided at each end of the umbrella rib 5. It is composed of a bone end portion 6 made of a transparent resin.

An optical fiber 7 whose end is arranged in the handle 1 is incorporated in the umbrella shaft 2, and the optical fiber 7 has a light source in the handle 1 at one end and a stone hammer 3 at the other end. Each is optically connected.

On the other hand, an optical fiber 8 is incorporated in the umbrella frame 5. The optical fiber 8 is provided with a bent portion above the umbrella shaft 2 and below the stone head 3 and is optically connected to the optical fiber 7 inside the umbrella shaft 2.

As a result, when the umbrella is folded, the optical fiber 7 in the umbrella shaft 2 and the optical fiber 8 in each umbrella bone 5 are bent.

FIG. 2 is a detailed internal view of the handle 1. The handle 1 includes a power source 11, a push-button power switch 12 having one end connected to one terminal of the power source 11, and a light source 13 connected between the remaining terminal of the power switch 12 and another terminal of the power source 11. It has a built-in lighting circuit. A dry battery is used for the power source 11, and a light bulb or LED is used for the light source 13.

Further, in the handle 1, one end of the optical fiber 7 incorporated in the umbrella shaft 2 is optically connected to the light source 13, that is, arranged so as to be able to receive light from the light source 13.

The grip handle 1 is divided into a grip handle lighting circuit storage portion 1a and a grip handle curved portion 1b near the center by a screw fitting method. Both have a screwing structure with a male screw and a female screw. Therefore, it can be removed. Therefore, after the grip handle lighting circuit storage part 1a and the grip handle curved part 1b are separated by providing a space 14 on the inner surface of the male screw of the handle handle lighting circuit storage part 1a to allow the power supply 11 to be taken in and out, The power supply 11 can be pulled out from the gap 14 of the handle pattern lighting circuit 1a and replaced.

FIG. 3 is a detailed cross-sectional view of the stone stone 3. The stone stone 3 is a light emitting portion which is entirely formed of a translucent resin, and is attached to an end portion of the umbrella shaft 2. Then, the stone chip 3 is arranged in a state in which the inner surface of the stone chip 3 and the other end of the optical fiber 7 are optically connected so that the stone chip 3 receives and emits light from the optical fiber 7 incorporated in the umbrella shaft 2. .

FIG. 4 is a schematic side sectional view of the umbrella bone 5 and the light end portion 6, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. The umbrella bone 5 has a bone end portion 6 which is a light emitting portion formed of a translucent resin as a whole and is attached to the tip thereof, and an optical fiber 8 is incorporated in the groove of the umbrella bone 5. A bent portion is provided at one end of the optical fiber 8 above the umbrella shaft 2 and below the stone head 3 and is optically connected to the optical fiber 7 in the umbrella shaft 2. On the other hand, the other end of the optical fiber 8 is arranged in a state of being optically connected to the inner surface of the epiphyseal portion 6, that is, in a state in which the epiphyseal portion 6 can emit light by receiving light from the optical fiber 8.

The use of the safety umbrella having the above configuration will be described. First, after opening the safety umbrella in the same manner as the conventional umbrella, when the power switch 12 is turned on, a voltage is applied to the lighting circuit by the power source 11 and the light source 13 is turned on. Since the power switch 12 is provided on the handle 1, the lighting circuit can be operated with the handle 1 held. Therefore, the operability is excellent.

Light from the light source 13 is incident on the optical fiber 7, propagates inside the optical fiber 7 incorporated in the umbrella shaft 2, and is guided to the stone head 3.

At the same time, a part of the light of the light source 13 incident on the optical fiber 7 also propagates inside the optical fiber 8 incorporated in each umbrella bone 5, and is guided to each epiphysis 6. Through the above paths, the respective light emitting portions composed of the stone scissors 3 and the epiphyses 6 emit light.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the safety umbrella according to the present invention, when the vehicle is going out in the rain, especially at night, the light emitting portions including the stones and the epiphyses are turned on by turning on the switch. The light emitted by stones enables pedestrians to be recognized from a distance, and the pedestrians in the umbrella can be seen larger and more clearly by the light emitted from each epiphysis. Therefore, the vehicle driver can see the umbrella even from a distance, and the pedestrian can be easily recognized. Therefore, traffic accidents can be prevented and pedestrian safety is improved.
