Description

Safety tripod and vehicle notification system using the same {Safety tripod and vehicle notification system using the same}

The present invention relates to a safety tripod and a vehicle notification system using the same. To describe this in more detail, it relates to a safety tripod and a vehicle notification system using the same that can be easily installed by reaching out onto the roof of the vehicle while sitting in the driver's seat in an emergency.

In general, various vehicles traveling on the road frequently have to stop on the road when an unexpected problem or breakdown occurs or an accident occurs with the vehicle in front while driving. In such cases, safety tripods, etc. are used to provide a warning signal to the vehicle behind. Installation of safety equipment is essential, and traffic laws also require the installation of such safety equipment.

However, when an accident occurs on an actual highway or the like and a sudden stop is necessary, a safety tripod cannot be quickly installed behind or on top of the vehicle unless the driver is an experienced driver. In particular, in the case of conventional tripods, the standing structure is difficult. There has been a problem that it is not easy to efficiently place the tripod on the road or vehicle due to instability.

Inspired by this need, the present inventor developed a safety display tripod with a long-distance firing type in order to provide an emergency safety signal to the vehicle behind in the event of an accident on the road by constructing a folding safety tripod provided in the vehicle and published it under Patent No. 1724136. There is a bar.

However, the launch tripod has the problem that the launched tripod is not deployed properly, and because it is placed backwards on the road, there is a high risk of movement and damage due to wind or external obstacles, and the launch action is achieved by the elasticity of the spring. Therefore, there was a problem in that it was difficult to settle accurately at a long distance behind the vehicle.

Accordingly, in Registered Patent No. 10-2018275, the present applicant includes an outer casing including a base cylinder and a cover cylinder with a space formed on the inside, and a hinge plate configured to be foldable and coupled thereto between the base cylinder and the cover cylinder; Permanent magnets formed at the bottom of the base barrel and the cover barrel; a fixing tube installed at the inner center of the hinge plate and a support rod extending from the fixing tube; A light-emitting tube made of a flexible and transparent elastic material, with LEDs built into it at regular intervals, and coupled to the top of the support rod; It is installed in the external casing to be connected to one end of the light-emitting tube, and is electrically connected to a storage battery for supplying power to the LED and a switch for blinking the LED. Each vertex of the triangle is located in the space of the space and the cover tube, and the configuration of connecting these vertices with a light-emitting tube has been pre-registered. However, when stored in the casing for a long time, the light-emitting tube is stuck in a bent state, so in an emergency, the light-emitting tube cannot be used. There was a problem in that the light emitting tube was not maintained in a straight line when unfolded, so it was not recognized as an emergency tripod.
