Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a safety indicator light which can prevent a traffic accident by allowing a pedestrian to easily inform his car of his / her position at night.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a measure for preventing traffic accidents, a reflective tape is attached to clothing, equipment, bicycles, etc., and the light from the headlights of an automobile is reflected to inform the driver, There are some that promote accident prevention to prevent accidents, but no one can obtain safety protection for pedestrians by using a light emitting body as in the present invention.

[0003]

In recent years, as the number of accidents resulting in injury or death due to vehicles has increased, there has been a problem of increasing measures against accidents.
The driver of the car runs while grasping the surrounding situation,
At night or at dusk, visibility is poor and pedestrian confirmation tends to be delayed. For this reason, the above-described reflective tape has been used for some time, but the reflective tape itself does not have a light emitting function and reflects light projected from a headlight of a car to call attention. Especially when a car turns a curve, it illuminates only the front direction of the car, so that it tends to be late for pedestrians passing by the pedestrian crossing, which may easily lead to an accident. The present invention uses a blinking light emitting function, which is different from the above-mentioned conventionally used reflection tape, and by using this light emitting function, the driver of a car can easily know the existence of the owner. , Was developed to provide a portable safety indicator light that can prevent accidents.

[0004]

As means for solving the problems, the present invention is designed to enhance the safety of the holder by means of a blinking light emitting body built in the case. That is, a blinking light-emitting body and a battery are built in a hollow case having a light-transmitting property, a switch is provided at an appropriate place of the case, and the blinking light-emitting body and the battery are connected via a switch. It is configured such that the ON / OFF state of the light emitter can be selected between blinking light emission and no light emission. The present invention is a portable safety indicator light having the above configuration.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION To use the present invention, a switch on the top of the case is turned on. Then, the + pole of the battery is in contact with the convex contact, and since this convex contact is connected to one terminal of the blinking light emitter, the current from the + pole enters the blinking light emitter. , Enter from the other terminal to one terminal of the switch through the conduction plate, pass through the spring from the other terminal and return to the negative electrode of the battery, that is, current flows in the blinking light emitter, and this light emitter blinks. Will be repeated. Since this case is made of transparent synthetic resin, the blinking of the light emitter can be easily confirmed from a distance at night. When not in use, the switch can be turned off to stop flashing. In addition, as shown in Examples to be described later, by connecting one light emitting body of different colors in parallel, it is possible to alternately change the blinking light emitting color, which facilitates identification. it can.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an upper case having a substantially cylindrical shape, and an annular step portion is formed on an outer side surface and an inner side surface of an intermediate portion thereof, and a male screw is engraved below the outer side step portion. A female screw is engraved at the center of the upper end of the upper case, and a push button type switch 2 is screwed therein. Further, the upper substrate 3 is fixed to the step portion on the inner side surface of the upper case. 4 is a lower case made of transparent synthetic resin, the lower part of which is formed into a substantially spherical shape,
It has a hollow cylindrical shape with an open upper part, and an internal thread is engraved on its inner surface. The lower substrate 5 is fixed below the female screw engraved portion. The upper case and the lower case described above are screwed with each other by a screw portion, but an O-ring 6 for airtightness is provided between the step of the upper case and the upper end of the lower case.
Is pressed and held. Further, one end of a metal spring 7 is fixed to the lower surface of the upper substrate, a convex contactor 8 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the lower substrate, and an annular contact plate 9 is provided near the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the substrate. The battery 10 is pressed and held between the spring and the convex contactor. Further, a conducting plate 11 made of an elongated metal plate is provided at a proper position in the vertical direction on the inner surface of the upper case, and when the upper and lower cases are screwed together, the lower end of the conducting plate presses the upper surface of the annular contact plate. It is provided to do. Reference numeral 12 denotes a blinking light-emitting body attached to the lower surface of the lower substrate, which is integrally configured by combining a light-emitting diode and a blinking circuit. Two terminals project below the switch 2, one terminal is connected to the spring via the upper substrate, and the other terminal is connected to the conductive plate via the upper substrate. Further, one terminal of the blinking light emitting body is connected to the convex contactor through the lower substrate, and the other terminal is connected to the annular contact plate on the upper surface of the lower substrate.

Although the function of the present invention has been described above, in this example, the case is divided into upper and lower parts and screwed together through an O-ring, so that airtightness can be maintained at the time of use and an erased battery can be easily used. Can be exchanged. Although the lower case is made of transparent synthetic resin in this example, both the upper and lower cases or only the vicinity of the blinking light emitting body of the lower case may be made transparent. Further, in FIG. 1, the lower part of the lower case is shown by cross-hatching, which shows a case where a large number of curved surface-shaped irregularities are formed on the case surface, and each convex portion functions as a lens, Since the light from the light-emitting body is diffused, the light-emitting state can be confirmed even from a distance. FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which is an example in which two blinking light-emitting bodies are connected in parallel so that their emission colors are different from each other.
In this example, different luminescent colors, such as red and green, alternate blinking alternately, so that the driver of the vehicle can more easily recognize the presence. As shown in FIG. 1, it is convenient to carry an annular locking portion provided outside the upper end of the upper case, and a hanging string is attached to the locking portion.
