Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is constructed by combining a light bulb with a detachable @ plug attached to both ends of an electric handle, a battery built into the handle of the handle, and a multi-stage circuit changeover switch. This invention relates to an umbrella with an illuminating light that can be turned on and off depending on the grip strength of the handle.

When used at night on a clear or rainy day, the umbrella with an illuminated light of the present invention not only illuminates the walking road, but also protects pedestrians from cars, motorcycles, and bicycles that approach from the front, side, or back. It is useful as a sign light to help drivers avoid unexpected collisions.

The umbrella with illuminated light of the present invention differs from the marker light permanently fixed on the road, as the illuminating light constantly flashes irregularly and sways left and right and up and down as the user walks, so it is possible to avoid approaching the opposite person. The effect as a ``moving flashing beacon light'' will further increase for those who use it. In order to enhance this recognition effect, it is preferable that the light bulb attached to the top of the handle shaft of this umbrella be a red or yellow light.

Since the lighting part and battery of the present invention are removable, when it rains during the day or when this umbrella is used as a sunshade, these removable parts can be removed and stored and carried separately.

As the umbrella lighting device of the present invention, a small rechargeable dry cell battery and a small light bulb, such as those used in commercially available flashlights, can be used. This battery is built into the hollow inside the handle of the umbrella handle along with the multi-stage circuit selector switch.
For this reason, it is appropriate for this handle part to have a conventional handle part with an outer diameter of about 3 crRQ, and the battery that can be built into it is, for example, a commercially available dry battery (with a diameter of about 2 crRQ), considering its weight load and required voltage. 56R% length approximately 4.5 strokes, weight approximately 502

FIG. 1 shows an umbrella with an illumination light according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the wiring arrangement of an electric circuit for blinking the illumination light used in the present invention.

The multi-stage circuit changeover switch built into the handle of the umbrella of the present invention has only its head push button exposed on the surface of the handle so that it can be moved up and down and back and forth, and connected to this exposed part. A contact piece is provided, which contact piece faces a number of notches (at least three) fixedly arranged to be brought into contact by a sliding movement operation of the pushbutton for switching an electric circuit. Each of these notches is connected to a conductor of an electrical circuit as shown in the attached FIG. 2. The contact piece is also provided with a retractable spring or rubber tube attached to cover it. Therefore, when the head press button is compressed by the grip force of the user, this contact piece contacts one of the notches due to the compression of the spring or the thumb tube to form the respective electric circuit. become.

That is, when this contact piece comes into sliding contact with the first notch (dl), which is connected to form two parallel circuits with two light bulbs at both ends of the handle shaft, as shown in Fig. 2, due to grip force. In this case, the light bulbs (bI, bz) at both ends of the handle shaft are both lit. Also, when the contact piece is brought into sliding contact with the second notch (dl), a circuit is formed in which only the light bulb (BS) lights up, and when the contact piece is brought into sliding contact with the third notch (da), a circuit is formed in which only the light bulb (BS) lights up. In this case, a circuit is formed in which only the light bulb (bl) lights up. Naoto's sliding contact piece has
Is there a contact piece fixing device that allows the connection between this and each notch to be made intermittently depending on the adjustment of the finger, but to enable continuous lighting under constant pressure of the push button? It is also equipped with

The present invention will be fully illustrated hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Figure IVC, a is the handle shaft of the hollow metal umbrella, and bl is the handle shaft of the hollow metal umbrella.

Among these conducting wires, one of the shared conducting wires g4, gl and g6 may share the shaft of an umbrella made of metal pipe. f is an extensible spring or a zam tube attached to firmly hold the contact piece e', and this intermittently moves the contact piece e' as the pusher e moves up and down depending on the grip force of the handle part. It acts to short-circuit one of the notches dl, d2 and da. Notch d1. on contact piece e'. The operation of switching to contact with d2 or da can be easily performed with the thumb of the hand grasping the handle.

As a result of experiments, it has been found that when using the umbrella with an illumination light of the present invention, it is effective to apply and release the grip force about once per second without pressing the push button e in order to blink the illumination light. Adjusting the grip strength at these pitches not only doubles the useful life of the battery, but also reduces the intermittent brightness and darkness caused by this, which reduces the illumination (C) of the road surface under the user's walking feet.
It was also confirmed through experiments that there was no inconvenience.

Thus, the use of the illuminated umbrella of the invention improves the prevention of accidents caused by traffic on the road.
