2. Description of the Related Art When a driver or the like gets out of a vehicle during a rainy season, such as when carrying out an emergency repair of the vehicle on a road such as an expressway, there is a great danger. This is because when a driver or the like gets out of the vehicle for emergency repair of the vehicle, there is no warning sign such as a triangular light before and after the vehicle to notify the following vehicle of the stopped state. Only. For this reason, the signal is often overlooked, and the following vehicle that cannot confirm the signal will pass by the side of the stopped vehicle without slowing down. Especially on highways and the like, the vehicle itself is traveling at high speed, so it is more difficult to check the signal.

At night when it is raining, the visibility in front of the vehicle is further deteriorated, and the danger is further increased.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The western umbrella shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is a folding-type automatic umbrella-opening umbrella that is automatically opened by operating a button. The umbrella cloth 12 of the western umbrella 11 is colored yellow or white. Since yellow or white becomes dark around during rain or at night, the visibility of the color, that is, the visibility is high. For this reason, a yellow or white colored umbrella cloth is easy to see in the rain or at night, and when the driver or the like gets out of the vehicle, he / she should catch the attention of the following driver etc. Become.

Further, the umbrella cloth in this embodiment is coated with a fluorescent whitening agent such as diaminostilbene-based, imidazole, thiazole, oxazole-based, triazole-based, coumarin-based, etc. to increase the amount of light reflected from the umbrella cloth. , The visibility is higher.

A light emitting portion 14 is provided at the tip of the umbrella handle 13 of the western umbrella 11. Therefore, the light emitted from the light emitting portion 14 and the high visibility of the umbrella cloth 12 are combined,
It will give a stronger impression to the following drivers and draw attention.

2 and 3, the light emitting portion 14 comprises a capsule 15 in which a luminescent agent is enclosed, a base 16 for housing and fixing the capsule 15, and a transparent cap 17 attached to the base 16. The mode was shown.

The capsule 15 is a luminescent agent 18 that utilizes luminence associated with a chemical reaction, for example, a luminescent agent that exhibits chemiluminescence by oxidizing a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound such as luminol, lucigenin, and lophine with an alkaline solution. The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound and the alkaline solution are sealed in a separated state. At the time of use, the capsule 15 is bent to release the separated state,
The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound is brought into contact with an alkaline solution to cause a reaction, so that it exhibits chemiluminescence.

The capsule 15 is housed and fixed in a housing portion 19 of a base 16 which is screwed into a screw hole 13A at the tip of the umbrella handle 13 with a screw portion 16A protruding from the lower surface. Further, a transparent cap 17 that covers the capsule 15 is attached to the base 16.

The transparent cap 17 may be simply a molded product of transparent plastic, but in this embodiment, the transparent cap 17 serves as a lens so that the light emitted from the capsule 15 is enlarged.

As another mode of the light emitting section 14, the one shown in FIG. 4 can be cited. In this embodiment, the electric bulb 20 is used instead of the capsule containing the luminescent agent. The light bulb 20 is adapted to be screwed to a socket portion 22 of a base 21 screwed to a screw hole 13A at the tip of the umbrella handle 13 with a screw portion 21A protruding from the lower surface.
A transparent cap 23 that covers the light bulb 20 is attached to the lamp 1.

The transparent cap 23 may be simply a transparent plastic molding, but in this embodiment, the transparent cap 23 serves as a lens so that the light emitted from the light bulb is enlarged.

A power source (not shown) of the light bulb 20 is provided in the base 21 and is turned on by screwing the light bulb 20, or a grip portion attached to the umbrella handle 13 as in this embodiment. A power source (not shown) is incorporated into the grip 24, and the grip portion 2 is operated in accordance with the operation of the switch 25 for opening the umbrella 11.
A power source (not shown) of No. 4 may supply electricity to the light bulb 20 at the tip of the umbrella handle 13 to turn on the light.

Further, a power source (not shown) may be provided with a device capable of periodically energizing the electric bulb and turning it off, so that the electric bulb can blink. In this case, since the light bulb blinks, it becomes easier to draw attention.

The structure of the western umbrella of the present invention is, for example, in the folding automatic umbrella-opening umbrella shown above, a framework structure and a rocker structure for folding and automatically opening the umbrella are disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. No. 108 and JP-A-6-133813.
There is no particular limitation such as applying the structure shown in the publication.

[0023]

According to the western umbrella of claim 1, the umbrella cloth is yellow or white, and the light emitting portion is provided at the tip of the handle of the umbrella to which the umbrella cloth is attached. When the driver or the like gets out of the vehicle, such as when performing an emergency repair of the vehicle on the road, the danger can be reduced by drawing the attention of the following driver or the like.

In the umbrella according to the second aspect of the invention, the light from the luminescent agent enclosed in the capsule emits light through the transparent cap, which attracts the attention of the following driver, so the capsule is replaced. You can easily use it again.

In the western umbrella according to claim 3, since the transparent cap is a lens, the light emission from the capsule is enlarged, giving a stronger impression to the following driver.
It will draw attention.

In the umbrella according to the fourth aspect, the light from the light bulb is emitted through the transparent cap to attract the attention of the driver or the like following it. By doing so, you can easily operate the blinking.

In the western umbrella according to claim 5, since the transparent cap serves as a lens, the light emission from the light bulb is enlarged, giving a stronger impression to the following driver, etc., and attracting attention. become.

In the western umbrella according to the sixth aspect, since the light bulb is made to blink, it becomes easier to draw attention.
