Description

Safety umbrella using LED {SAFETY UMBRELLA USING LED}

The present invention relates to a safety umbrella using an LED, and more particularly, to a safety umbrella using an LED that can prevent safety accidents by emitting an LED on the umbrella when it is difficult to identify objects due to rain or at night. .

In general, to avoid rain in rainy weather, an umbrella with a wide spreading umbrella has a wide spreading umbrella, a plurality of umbrellas that are blocked on the bottom of the umbrella and support the umbrella, and the umbrellas are unfolded or folded. A pillar that becomes the center of the umbrella when the umbrella membrane is unfolded while the support ribs each of which one side is connected to the umbrella ribs to be loaded, and the sliding hole in which the support ribs are connected to the other side are slid, and are mounted at the lower end of the pillar. It is composed of a handle that makes it easy for the user to carry an umbrella, and it is an automatic umbrella that automatically unfolds the umbrella according to its type, and a manual umbrella in which the umbrella is manually unfolded by allowing the user to slide the support arms to unfold the umbrella. Classified.

Umbrellas like this are commonly used in rainy weather, but in the case of rainy weather, the day becomes cloudy, and in the evening when the sun goes down, the darkness is added and the driver's visibility is shortened. As it is not easy for drivers to identify pedestrians walking, there is a risk of frequent accidents. In particular, since it is very difficult to identify pedestrians walking in dark alleys or walking with an umbrella at night in an outskirts where people are scarce, traffic accidents in which a pedestrian wearing an umbrella is received as a vehicle are frequently occurring.

Moreover, since children are significantly less tall than ordinary adults, it is more difficult for drivers of vehicles to identify children wearing umbrellas, so the rate of traffic accidents among children that occur in rain is increasing. to be.

Also, in the case of pedestrians, when walking at night while wearing an umbrella in rainy weather, it is difficult to identify the surroundings due to the dark surroundings. They are always exposed to safety accidents.

In this case, it is more likely to occur in remote areas, such as rural areas, where there are few lighting facilities such as nearby street lights. Therefore, if you want to go out at night when it rains, use a separate lighting device such as an umbrella together with an umbrella. The discomfort that you have to carry comes with it.

In addition, when it rains, the surrounding darkness becomes more severe, so women walking in dark alleys are inevitably exposed to crimes such as sex offenses or robbery injuries.

On the other hand, in order to prevent such an obstruction, a variety of umbrellas equipped with a lighting device are being devised.

For example, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-0220985 (hereinafter referred to as'Patent Document 1'),'Umbrella Lighting Device', has been devised, which is a lamp that irradiates light in a certain direction on the umbrella handle and In the lamp housing and the lamp switch for operating the lamp are installed, an inclined surface forming a predetermined angle with respect to the center line of the umbrella handle and the optical axis of the lamp housing is formed at the ends of the umbrella handle and the lamp housing, respectively, and the center thereof A rotation guide hole and a locking boss inserted therein are respectively formed so that the angle of the center line of the umbrella handle and the optical axis of the lamp housing can be changed in a straight line or bent shape, and a plurality of slip rings and energizing brushes are connected to the slope of the umbrella handle. It is installed on the slope of the lamp housing so that the electric brush slides from the slip ring when the lamp housing rotates so that power can be supplied to the lamp through the lamp switch from the battery housed in the internal battery storage compartment of the umbrella handle. The upper part of the umbrella handle is composed of a flashing light switch and a lamp switch to open and close the circuit leading to the flashing lamp and lamp on the outer periphery of the umbrella handle, as well as installing a flashing light that radiates light to the outside through a light diffusion transparent ring.

As another example, the Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-0224722 (hereinafter referred to as'Patent Document 2'),'Umbrella with Lighting', has been devised, which is a common umbrella on one side of the outer periphery of the handle. An installed lighting switch, a lighting generator integrally formed with a handle on the other side of the lighting switch and in which a light bulb is installed facing the upper part of the umbrella, a battery embedded in the lower part of the handle to supply power, and a lower tip of the handle to prevent separation of the battery The lighting generator is rotatably installed in the receiving groove formed in the handle of the other side of the lighting switch, and the electrode is in contact with the electric power when it is rotated upwards.

In the case of an umbrella equipped with such a conventional lighting device, a lighting generator is provided on the handle of the umbrella so that the driver of the vehicle can easily identify a pedestrian by lighting emitted through the lighting generator at night.

However, in this case, as the lighting generator is provided on the handle of the umbrella, there is a problem that the identification of pedestrians walking with the umbrella from the outside is limited to only a small part, and thus it is insufficient to properly identify the pedestrian.

In particular, in the case of a relatively small child, since the light generator is provided in the umbrella handle, which is the lowermost side of the umbrella, even if the driver of the vehicle can identify the light emitted through the light generator from a long distance, a short-range example is used. In the case of children coming out of the alleyway, it is not easy to identify them, so it is not possible to completely prevent a vehicle collision.

In addition, as the device for generating lighting is mounted on the umbrella handle, the range that can inform the existence of oneself is limited, so there is a problem that it is somewhat unreasonable to prevent crimes occurring in dark alleyways.
