Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to easily know where the fire extinguisher is even in the dark by providing a display plate which is arranged nearby the fire extinguisher and a light emitting means which illuminates the display of the display plate. SOLUTION: The display plate 30 is fixed to a mount base 1 where the fire extinguisher is mounted by a column 2. On the backside of the display plate 30, film type electroluminescence(EL) 20 is arranged. The column 2 contains a battery. Further a switch circuit which uses a photodetector 4 is constituted and so constituted that the EL 20 blinks according to variation in ambient lightness. When it becomes dark, the photodetector 4 detects that and makes the film type EL20 illuminate. Therefore, the display plate 30 emits light when it becomes dark to let a user know where the fire extinguisher is.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fire extinguisher display device which is arranged near a fire extinguisher and indicates that a fire extinguisher is present.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, medium-sized and small-sized fire extinguishers used in homes and the like are placed as they are, placed on a dedicated installation stand, or stored in a dedicated storage box. When a fire occurs, the user usually goes to a place where a fire extinguisher is placed, removes the fire extinguisher, and goes to a fire spot to extinguish the fire.

[0003]

However, in the event of a power outage due to a fire at night, if there is no illuminating means such as a flashlight, it takes time to find a fire extinguisher, making it more difficult to extinguish the fire. there were. Furthermore, when a fire breaks out due to a nighttime earthquake, the inside of the house will be damaged, making it even more difficult to find a fire extinguisher.
There was a danger that a fire could not be extinguished in the early days and would be a major fire.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a fire extinguisher display device that allows a user to easily know the location of a fire extinguisher even in darkness.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, an invention according to claim 1 is provided with a display plate provided with a display indicating that it is a fire extinguisher and disposed near the fire extinguisher, Light emitting means for emitting the display on the plate.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a display board provided with a display indicating that it is a fire extinguisher and arranged near the fire extinguisher, and illuminating means for illuminating the display on the display board. It is characterized by the following.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) FIGS. 1 to 3 show Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is a view showing a configuration of a fire extinguisher stand according to FIG.
2 is a front view, FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view.

1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting table on which a fire extinguisher is mounted, 2 denotes a main pillar for fixing the display panel 3 to the mounting table 1, and 4 denotes a light receiving element for detecting ambient light. Reference numeral 5 denotes a battery housed in the main column 2, 6 denotes a film-like EL (electroluminescence) disposed on the back surface of the display panel 3, 7.
Is a lighting inverter for lighting the EL6 by a DC power supply (battery 5).

The display characters on the display panel 3, ie, "fire extinguisher"
The character portion indicating a fire extinguisher called “FIRE EXTNGUISHER” is formed by cutting out the display plate 3. Here, the character portion of the display panel 3 may be formed of a transparent material.

In this embodiment, a switch circuit using the light receiving element 4 is formed, and the EL 6 is turned on and off according to a change in the brightness of the surroundings.

In the first embodiment formed as described above, when the surroundings become dark, the light receiving element 4 detects the darkness, and emits light from the film EL. Therefore, when the surroundings become dark, the display panel 3 emits light, and it is possible to inform the user of the location of the fire extinguisher.

Since the light receiving element 4 is provided, the EL 6 does not emit light when the surroundings are bright, so that unnecessary consumption of power can be omitted. Also, if the capacity of the battery 5 is sufficiently large, the present embodiment can always be kept in operation by replacing the battery at the time of legal inspection of the fire extinguisher body.

Further, the battery 5 may be rechargeable, and a charger using a solar cell may be provided above the display panel 3 so as to charge the battery.

In the first embodiment described above, the display plate 3 is fixed to the mounting table 1. The display plate 3 having the EL 6, the light receiving element 4, the battery 5, and the lighting inverter 7 are The fire extinguisher may be installed in a storage box of the fire extinguisher, or may be arranged on a wall near a place where the fire extinguisher is usually placed.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 4 shows Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of FIG.

The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows.
Light guide plate 10 and LED (or light bulb) 1 for transmitting light instead of film-shaped EL 6 and lighting inverter 7
1 is provided on the back surface of the display panel 3. Other configurations and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and therefore, description thereof will be omitted.

(Embodiment 3) FIGS. 5 and 6 are views showing the configuration of Embodiment 3 of the present invention. FIG.
FIG. 6 shows respective side views.

5 and 6, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting table for a fire extinguisher, 2 denotes a main pillar, 4 denotes a light receiving element, 5 denotes a battery, and 20 denotes an LE.
D (or light bulb), 30 is a display board.

In the third embodiment, a plurality of LEDs 20 are provided on the surface of a normal display panel 30. Then, when the surroundings become dark, the light receiving element 4 detects this, and L
The ED 20 is turned on to illuminate the display on the display panel 30.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, the user can easily know the location of the fire extinguisher even in the dark.
