A frame of each signal lamp is made of one of aluminum, a steel, an alloy steel. The frame is further made of a composite material manufactured by a glass fiber or a carbon fiber. Also, the frame is made of a material in which the composite material is mixed with a metal. A light source of each signal lamp is one of a bulb and a LED(Light Emitting Diode).

Description

Traffic Signal with Triangle, Rectangle and Circle Shape}

The present invention relates to a traffic light. Specifically, the shape of the display window of the traffic light is different or the shape of the display window is the same and the shape of the reflector is different so that the viewer can simultaneously see the traffic light in the shape of the traffic light with the difference in color. It is a traffic light having a triangular, square and circular shape to distinguish the signals.

Until now, in the traffic lights for guiding the flow of the vehicle, the shape of the traffic lights is generally the same in a circle and the color is divided into red, yellow, green, and arrows to indicate curfew, warning, permission to pass, and left turn. This color-coded traffic light is useless to people with color blindness, where some color distinctions are unclear, causing them to stop driving the vehicle.

People whose color distinction is unclear are indistinguishable from traffic lights because of the unclear distinction between the directions of traffic lights. In particular, people with red-green color blindness cannot drive because they are not distinguished from red and green, the basic colors of traffic lights.

The present invention has been invented to solve the problems of the conventional traffic lights as described above, and to clearly recognize the instructions of the traffic lights and to pass safely, including people who are color blind and color pills.

According to the present invention, as a traffic light used for all traffic lights such as traffic lights of railroads, including traffic lights of roads and intersections, the shape of the outside of the traffic light or the shape of the traffic light display window is different for each traffic signal, so that the road or sidewalk pedestrians can change colors and traffic lights. To distinguish the traffic signal through the shape of.

In this way, color blind or color weak people can also recognize traffic signals in the shape of traffic lights.

In the present invention, the traffic lights composed of red, yellow, green and arrows are triangular, square, and circular, so that the shape contrast with the color contrast visually shows a higher cognitive effect than the conventional method, and indicates by combining color and simple form. A traffic light having a triangular, square and circular shape is provided, which is characterized by a double safety effect in determining the traffic light.

In the present invention, a red, yellow, and green traffic light is provided that has a triangle, square and circular shape characterized in that it can be distinguished not only in color, but also in the shape of triangle, square and circle.

In the present invention, the shape of the red, yellow, and green traffic lights are the same, and the shape of the reflector is made into triangles, squares and circles, respectively, so that the viewer recognizes the traffic lights as triangles, squares and circles, respectively. A traffic light having a circular shape is provided.

In the present invention, red, yellow and green traffic lights having a triangular, rectangular and circular shape are characterized in that the shapes of distinct contrasts of triangles, squares and circles are respectively colored.

In the present invention, a traffic light having a triangular, square, and circular shape is provided, wherein the colored figure portion is composed of a transparent portion.

1 is a case where the shape of the traffic light according to an embodiment of the traffic light according to the present invention, respectively, triangular, square and circular.

Figure 2 is an embodiment of a traffic light according to the present invention is a case where the shape of the traffic light is a circular shape and the reflectors are triangular, square and circular, respectively.

3 is a view illustrating an example of a traffic light according to the present invention in which the shape of the traffic light is circular and the display windows are colored to be recognized as triangles, squares, and circles, respectively.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the configuration and embodiment of the present invention.

1 is an example of a traffic light according to the present invention, which is a front view showing the external shape of the traffic light into a triangle 10, a rectangle 20 and a circle 30, these traffic lights are installed in the traffic light post (100) . As shown in Figure 1, the traffic light according to the present invention is composed of a combination of traffic lights having a different shape, and allows the passengers to recognize the traffic signal with the color displayed on the traffic light.

In Figure 2, as an embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the traffic light is the same as that used conventionally, and the shape of the signal reflector 80 is a triangle 50, a rectangle 60 and a circle 70 Seems to When the present invention is applied to the existing traffic light, the traffic light can be changed to the traffic light according to the present invention by changing the shape of the reflector while leaving the traffic light intact, and these traffic lights are installed using the traffic light post 100.

FIG. 3 shows that the shape of the traffic light is circular as the conventional one, and the signal display window is colored with the triangle 150, the rectangle 160, and the circle 170. . When the present invention is applied to an existing traffic light, the traffic light is left intact, and only the shape of the display window is opaquely colored according to the present invention. Can be changed to the traffic lights according to these traffic lights are installed using the traffic light post (100).

The present invention can also be applied to pedestrian traffic lights or warning lights.

In the present invention, the material of the traffic light frame is selected from aluminum, steel, alloy steel to use a metal material, or by selecting one of glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, the fiber is polyester, vinyl ester A composite material prepared by impregnation with one resin selected from epoxy is used, and a heterogeneous material partially synthesized with a composite material and a metal material may be used.

As a structural characteristic of the traffic light display window, the light source may be a bulb or an LED, and the lens may be colored or transparent.

In the above described the configuration and features of the present invention based on the embodiment according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this, it is possible to be freely modified according to the technical idea of the present invention.

The present invention has been invented to solve the problems of the conventional traffic lights as described above, and to ensure that all people clearly know the instructions of the traffic lights, including people with color blindness and color weakness, and to pass safely, including traffic lights of roads and intersections. Can be used for all traffic lights.

According to the present invention, the outer shape of the traffic light or the shape of the traffic light display window is different for each traffic signal, so that passers-by on the road or sidewalk can distinguish the traffic signal through the color and the shape of the traffic light, so that the color blind or color weak people also have the shape of the traffic light. To recognize them.

In the present invention, the traffic light consisting of red, yellow, green and arrows in the form of triangles, squares and circles to simultaneously achieve the shape contrast with the color contrast, and visually shows a higher cognitive effect than the conventional method, In combination with the simple form of the traffic light and the indication there is a double safety effect in determining the traffic signal through the traffic light.
