Description

CANE WITH LIGHTING FUNCTION < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to a cane, and more particularly to a cane having a lighting function.

The cane is used by the elderly, the patient who has trouble with the legs. Since the cane user uses the cane with one hand, there are many restrictions on the activity. In particular, if you have to go through a dark place with other objects in hand, it is dangerous because you can not use a light bulb. Even if you carry a light bulb, The risk is great. To reduce this risk, an illuminated cane has been developed as disclosed in registration utility model 20-0470207. The cane disclosed in the prior art document includes a battery, a light emitting lamp that emits light by receiving power from a battery, and a circuit unit for a lighting function. The battery, the light emitting lamp, and the circuit unit are separately installed. The electrical connection can be easily broken due to the characteristics of the electric wire, so that there is a problem that breakdown occurs well and replacement and repair are inconvenient.

A plurality of through-holes 122 are formed in a part of the upper frame 120 so as to communicate with the inside of the receiving space. A through hole 125, which extends generally obliquely and communicates with the receiving space, is provided at a portion deviated from the section where the plurality of through holes 122 are provided. When the wand 100 is erected, the through holes 125 are positioned on the plurality of through holes 122 and the through holes 125 are inclined to be inclined downward toward the outside. A button hole 126 through which the power button 140 passes is positioned above the through hole 125 in the upper frame 120. A screw passage through which the fixing screw 170 passes is formed on the upper and lower sides of the upper frame 120 with the button hole 126 therebetween. A male threaded portion 123 for engaging the handle 150 is formed on the upper end of the upper frame 120 and a female threaded portion 124 are formed. Although not shown in detail in the upper frame 120, a guide latching portion for positively positioning the circuit unit 130 is formed. The circuit unit 130 is inserted and stopped while being guided in the upper frame 110 by the guide engaging portion (not shown).

Referring to FIG. 2, the circuit unit 130 is inserted into the upper frame 120 through the open top of the upper frame 120 and accommodated in the upper frame 110. 2 and 3, the circuit unit 130 includes a printed circuit board (PCB) 131, two light emitting lamps 132 and 133 integrally bonded to the printed circuit board 131, A battery receiving member 136 integrally coupled to the battery 131, and a battery 140 accommodated in the battery receiving member 136.

The printed circuit board 131 has a substantially long bar shape and the printed circuit board 131 is provided with a button connection terminal 134 electrically connected to the power button 140. The printed circuit board 131 is mounted with electrical components for turning on and off the two light emitting lamps 132 and 133 using the battery 140 as a power source. Two light emitting lamps 132 and 133 are integrally bonded to the printed circuit board 131. Two through-holes 137 and 138 are formed in the printed circuit board 131.

The two light emitting lamps 132 and 133 include a first light emitting lamp 132 integrally bonded to the lower end of the printed circuit board 131 and a second light emitting lamp 132 bonded to the printed circuit board 131 to be positioned above the first light emitting lamp 132. [ And a second light emitting lamp 133 integrally bonded. The first luminescent lamp 132 is positioned adjacent to the plurality of through holes 122 formed in the upper frame 120. The light emitted by the first light emitting lamp 132 is directed to the outside through the plurality of through holes 122 to illuminate the periphery of the can 100. The second light emitting lamp 133 is positioned adjacent to the through hole 125 formed in the upper frame 120. The second light emitting lamp 133 is provided so as to incline downward to shine a lower portion of the cane. The second light emitting lamp 133 illuminates the ground when the wand 100 is used.

The battery housing member 136 provides a space for accommodating the battery 140 therein, and is integrally fixed to the back surface of the printed circuit board 131. The battery housing member 136 is formed integrally with the printed circuit board 131 in the molding process by the printed circuit board 131 and the insert injection molding or is separately manufactured and then bonded together by an adhesive means such as an adhesive, . The battery housing member 136 has two engaging projections 151 and 152 which are fitted into two through holes 1378 and 138 provided in the printed circuit board 131, respectively. The ends of the two engaging projections 151 and 152 come into close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the upper frame 120 while the circuit unit 130 is positioned inside the upper frame 120. At this time, the back surface (opposite to the printed circuit board 131) of the battery housing member 136 also comes into close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the upper frame 120. Accordingly, the circuit unit 130 is prevented from shaking in the upper frame 120. Screw holes 153 and 154 are formed at the ends of the engaging projections 151 and 152, respectively. The two screw holes 153 and 154 coincide with the screw passage provided in the upper frame 120 in a state where the circuit unit 130 is fixed in the inside of the upper frame 120. Although not shown, the battery receiving member 136 is provided with an opening for allowing the battery 140 to be opened and closed.

The battery 140 is accommodated in the battery housing member 136 and supplies power necessary for light emission of the first light emitting lamp 132 and the second light emitting lamp 133. In this embodiment, the battery 140 is described as being a rechargeable secondary battery, but the present invention is not limited thereto. When the battery 140 is a secondary battery, the printed circuit board 131 is provided with a charging circuit for charging the secondary battery and a charging jack for connecting to the external power source.

The power button 140 is installed in the button hole 126 formed in the upper frame 120 and is electrically connected to the button connection terminal 134 provided on the printed circuit board 131. The cane user blinks the two lamps 132 and 133 using the power button 140. [

The fixing screws 170 pass through screw passages formed in the upper frame 120 from the outside of the upper frame 120 and are coupled to the screw holes 153 and 154 provided in the circuit unit 130, respectively. The circuit unit 130 is firmly fixed to the upper frame 120 by the fixing screws 170 and the circuit unit 130 can be easily separated from the upper frame 120 by unscrewing the fixing screws 170, Workability is improved when repairing or replacing.

The grip portion 150 is engaged with the upper end of the upper frame 120. The grip portion 150 is positioned on the opposite side of the lower extension rod portion 180 with the light emitting portion 110 therebetween. When the cane 100 is raised, the handle 130 is positioned above the light emitting portion 110. The handle portion 150 has a shape that a staff member can easily grasp by hand.

The lower extension bar 180 is rod-shaped and elongated along the longitudinal direction of the wand 100, and is joined to the lower end of the upper frame 120. The lower extension bar portion 180 is positioned below the light emitting portion 110 when the wand 100 is erected. Although not shown, it is preferable that the lower extension bar portion 180 has a structure capable of adjusting the length thereof. Since this structure can be made of a conventional length adjustment structure, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
