Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a starter for track racing. It is difficult to prevent a flying start or a lag in starting with the conventional pistol signal.It is difficult to prevent a flying start or a lag in the start.It is just a matter of imagination that the signal gun fired in line with the start, and you can see it reproduced in the video. Such a good start is entirely due to chance, and this is because the signal source is simple and symmetrical only to the sense of hearing. Even if the start person explains to you in advance, ``Yes, this is the speed you are going,'' it may be okay if you are familiar with the race, but if you are meeting someone for the first time, it can be unpleasant for the nervous and excited runners. It seems like if you don't give up on some things, you'll lose momentum if you keep redoing them over and over again, and it will end at the end of the first day. The present invention aims to help runners grasp the progress of time by also utilizing their visual sense.

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

On the surface of the display board (3) supported by shafts (2) (2') on the support base (1), rows of warning lights (4) (4') are arranged vertically in an arc shape, and in the center ( 5X5'X5") starting light row and (6)
After a personnel inspection of placing a row of xenon lamps equipped with appropriate green filters, the start person presses the push button switch (7) and starts the row of warning lights (4) (4).
') is lit at 5-second intervals with a warning sound from one of the buzzers in the switch box (8) at the same time as the warning sound, and all lights are turned off after io seconds. At the same time, the warning buzzer will also stop.

Next, after about 0.3 seconds, the starting light row (5) is lit at 0.1 second intervals, and the (5') (5'') rows are also lit at the same (Q.1 second intervals).At this time, (5X5') (5
”) at the beginning of each step to add momentum by inserting a crisp click sound.Finally, at the same 0.1 second interval, the xenon lamp row (6) is turned on and at the same time the switch that is the start signal sound source is turned on. The gunpowder in the steel interior of the box (8) is ignited and at the same time, all the starting nail rows (5) (5'') (5゛) are extinguished to complete the entire process. An ordinary drum blinker will suffice for driving such things, and if any other method is used, such as starting at even intervals over a single course in a long-distance ski race, an ordinary drum blinker is inappropriate. Therefore, the form of the starter must be made extremely small, and a semiconductor switch or the like must be used.

When using the starter of the present application having the above configuration, the runner does not need to watch the display board.

No one has a field of vision of about 150 degrees, so they see with the so-called mind's eye.The point is, you just need to know when to start the movement, so don't put the display board in your eyes, keep your breath, and prepare yourself. Of course, the starter of this invention can be used for most races other than horse racing, yachting, airplanes, etc.

As explained above, a track race that appeals to the runners' visual and auditory senses by moving the light spot on the display board at a constant speed to inform the runners of the progress of time, and by using sound effects to prevent flying or falling behind. starter.
