Must. Therefore, anyway, wiring inside the door was time-consuming. The present invention solves this problem.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the door opening warning device of the present invention is provided with a warning light including a solar cell, a door opening / closing detection switch, a light emitting body, and a secondary battery. It is characterized by being attached to the rear end of the upper part.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the door is opened with the warning light attached to the upper part of the door lining and at the rear end of the door lining, the door open / close detection switch that detects the opening of the door supplies power to the light emitter from the secondary battery. , The light-emitting body emits light, which makes it easier to see from the following vehicle. Moreover, since it is provided on the upper part of the door lining part, it is also useful for lighting the entrance and exit. Moreover, the secondary battery is charged from the solar battery during the daytime.

Embodiment An embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. 1 shows a usage state of the present embodiment. A warning light 10 is attached to a position near a rear end 4 of a door at an upper portion 3 of a door lining portion of a door 2 which opens and closes an entrance 1. The rear end 4 contacts the front part of the center pillar 5.

[0007] Figure 2 shows an external warning lamp 10, the front and rear vehicle interior side surface 11b of the case 11 has a oblique surface 11a, wherein the lens 13 is provided in the passenger compartment-side side surface 11b of the case 11 An intermediate portion 13b along the inclined surface 13a and an inclined surface portion 13a along the inclined surface 11a are formed in front of and behind the intermediate portion 13b.

A solar cell 12 is provided on the top surface of the case 11, and the electric power generated here is charged into a secondary battery 15 placed separately via a cord 14. However, as will be described later, the secondary battery 15 can be built in the case 11.

FIG. 3 is a view showing the interior side of the door for explaining the mounting state of the warning light 10. The warning light 10 is the upper part 3 of the door lining 6 and is close to the rear end 4 of the door. It is placed on the end and the bottom is attached from the inside of the door lining 6 by screwing or the like. As shown, the pillar 7, if present, is positioned proximate to its base.

In the present application, the upper portion of the door lining portion includes a portion of the window glass 9 where the elevating port 9a is provided, and this portion is not necessarily covered with a soft lining pad, It may be the case where the metal portion is exposed.

The secondary battery 15 is housed inside the door lining 6 just below the warning light 10 and attached by a suitable means.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the magnet 8 for operating the door open / close detection switch is attached to the front edge of the center pillar 5 and on the center pillar door lining 5 a facing the doorway 1.

FIG. 5 is a view showing the internal structure of the warning light 10 cut in half. The door opening / closing detection switch 16 that operates when approaching the magnet 8 (FIG. 5) is built in, and the inside of the lens 13 is shown. LED 17 is provided on the. Note that this drawing shows an example in which a built-in secondary battery 18 is provided instead of the secondary battery 15.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, if the warning light 10 is provided at the rear end of the upper portion 3, when the door 2 is opened, the door open / close detection switch 16 (FIG. 5) is separated from the magnet 8 (FIG. 4), so that the operating state is improved. Changes and the door open state is detected, power is supplied from the secondary battery 15 (or the built-in secondary battery 18) to the LED 17 to emit light to notify the following vehicle of the door opening.

At this time, the lens 13 is formed over the entire width of the case 11 in the front-rear direction on the vehicle interior side, and both ends thereof are sloped portions 11a, so that a wide visual range can be realized and the entrance / exit of the entrance / exit 1 can be achieved. Also useful as a foot light. Moreover, since the solar cell 12 is provided, the vehicle-mounted power source is not required and the mounting becomes easy.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show another embodiment. In this embodiment, as is apparent from FIG. 7, the rear portion of the warning light 20 has slopes 21a and 21b protruding rearward, and the slopes are substantially plan view. The lens 23 is provided in a V shape, and the lens 23 is also formed with similar slope portions 23a and 23b.

Further, the solar cell 22 is provided on the top surface and, although not shown, the door open / close detection switch, the secondary battery, and the light-emitting body are incorporated, as in the previous embodiment. Is.

By using this warning light 20, as shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to direct the visual recognition range to the rear, and further to widen it backward and outward.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, a warning light including a solar cell, a secondary battery, a door open / close detection switch, and a light emitter is provided, and the warning light is attached to the rear end portion on the door lining portion. Therefore, it can be used without using an in-vehicle power supply, and troublesome wiring is not required, and mounting is easy. Moreover, it is extremely convenient because it can be used to illuminate the entrance and exit when the door is opened.
