図 1は、 この発明の救命用ライ卜の一部断面正面図である。 発明を実施するための最良の形態  FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional front view of the lifesaving light of the present invention. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
以下、 この発明の実施の形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。 この発明の救 命用ライトは、 高輝度 L E D 1と、 高輝度 L E D 1の発光部 1 aを水面上に浮上させ る浮力発生部 2とで構成されており、 浮力発生部 2の天面 2 aから高輝度 L E D 1の 発光部 l aを突出させて、 両者 2を一体化している。 浮力発生部 2は、 軽量で安 価な発泡スチロールで構成されている。  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The life-saving light according to the present invention includes a high-brightness LED 1 and a buoyancy generator 2 for floating the light emitting portion 1a of the high-brightness LED 1 on the water surface. The light emitting part la of the high-brightness LED 1 is projected from a, and the two are integrated. The buoyancy generator 2 is made of lightweight and inexpensive polystyrene foam.
また、 浮力発生部 2の底面 2 bには、 防水性の電池ケース 3が取り付けられている。 電池ケース 3には、 図示しない電池を交換するための蓋および電池を O N · O F Fす るためのスィツチが備えられている。電池ケース 3を浮力発生部 2の底面 2 bに取り 付けることにより、 その内部に収納される電池が錘となって、 高輝度 L E D 1の発光 部 1 aが水面上に確実に浮上する。  Further, a waterproof battery case 3 is attached to the bottom surface 2 b of the buoyancy generator 2. The battery case 3 includes a cover (not shown) for replacing a battery and a switch for ON / OFF the battery. By attaching the battery case 3 to the bottom surface 2b of the buoyancy generating section 2, the battery housed therein becomes a weight and the light emitting section 1a of the high-brightness LED 1 reliably floats on the water surface.
高輝度 L E D 1は、 赤色であれば 1 . 5万カンデラ、 黄色であれば 2 . 5万力ンデ ラ程度の輝度を有し、 3 Vの電池で 1週間点灯し続けるものが採用されている。 また、 高輝度 L E D 1は夜間灯と区別するとともに、電源電池の消耗を図るために自点滅す るものを使用している。 自点滅回路としては、 いわゆるフラッシュ I Cをスィッチン グ素子として使用している。 また、 高輝度 L E D 1の発光部 1 aの外面には、 直進性を有する光が四方八方に散 乱するように、 ダイヤモンドカツ卜を施したキャップ 4が被せられている。 さらに、 浮力発生部 2又は電池ケース 3には、 遭難者が救命用ライ卜を手で持っておかなくて もよいように、 救命胴衣や浮輪などに結び付けるできる紐 5が取り付けられている。 次に、 上記のように構成された救命用ライトの使用方法について説明する。 この救 命用ライトは、 浮力発生部 2又は電池ケース 3に取り付けられた紐 5によって、 救命 胴衣や浮輪などに予め結んで保管しておき、 手に持たなくてもよい様にしておく。 そして、 万が一水難事故が発生した場合には、 避難者はこの救命用ライトが取り付 けられた救命胴衣や浮輪を身につける。 この際に、 救命用ライトのスィッチを O Nに する。 海上で救助を待つ間に、 救命用ライトの高輝度 L E D 1の発光部 1 aは、 浮力 発生部 2によって水面上に浮上した状態で点滅する。点滅光はダイァカツ卜を施した キャップ 4によって四方に散乱する。 The high-brightness LED 1 has a brightness of about 150,000 candelas for red and about 250,000 candes for yellow, and is lit with a 3 V battery for one week. I have. The high-brightness LED 1 distinguishes it from night lights and uses a self-flashing LED to reduce power battery consumption. As the self-flashing circuit, a so-called flash IC is used as a switching element. The outer surface of the light emitting portion 1a of the high-brightness LED 1 is covered with a diamond-cut cap 4 so that light having linearity is scattered in all directions. Further, the buoyancy generator 2 or the battery case 3 is provided with a string 5 that can be tied to a life jacket, a floating ring, or the like so that the victim does not need to hold a lifesaving light by hand. Next, a method of using the life-saving light configured as described above will be described. The life-saving light is previously tied to a life jacket or a floating ring by a string 5 attached to the buoyancy generator 2 or the battery case 3 and stored so that it does not have to be held in a hand. In the unlikely event of a water spill, evacuees wear life vests and floats fitted with these life-saving lights. At this time, turn on the life-saving light switch. While waiting for rescue at sea, the light-emitting part 1a of the high-brightness LED 1 of the life-saving light flashes while floating above the water surface by the buoyancy generator 2. The flashing light is scattered in all directions by the cap 4 with the die cut.
高輝度 L E D 1のスイッチングは、 浮力発生部 2の浮力を受ける部位に設けたリー ドスイッチによって行うようにしてもよい。 すなわち、 浮力を受けて変位するリード 部を永久磁石中に設け、 当該救命用ライ卜が水中に没したときに生じるリード部の磁 束の変位を検知して L E Dを点滅させる構成とする。  The switching of the high-brightness LED 1 may be performed by a lead switch provided at a portion of the buoyancy generator 2 that receives the buoyancy. That is, a lead portion that is displaced by buoyancy is provided in a permanent magnet, and a displacement of a magnetic flux of the lead portion caused when the life-saving light is immersed in water is detected to blink the LED.
かかる水難事故が夜間に起こった場合や、 救助が夜間におよぶ場合には、 この救命 用ライ卜の高輝度 L E D 1から発する点滅散乱光が、 かなり遠方まで達するので、 救 助隊は容易に遭難者の位置を確認することができる。 また、 このライトの寿命は、 2 4時間連続使用しても、 1週間以上は点滅し続けるので、 救命ポートに乗って長期間 漂流するような場合でも、 救助される可能性を高めることができる。  If such a water accident occurs at night or if rescue takes place at night, the rescue squad is easily distressed because the flashing scattered light emitted from the high-brightness LED 1 of this life-saving light reaches a considerable distance. Can check the position of the person. In addition, the life of this light will continue to flash for more than a week, even if it is used for 24 hours continuously, so it is possible to increase the likelihood of being rescued even if you drift on the lifesaving port for a long time .
なお、 この発明は上記の実施の形態に限定されるものではない。 例えば、 電池ケー スは浮力発生部内の好ましくは底部側に収納することもできる。 また、 浮力発生部は 発泡スチロール製に代え、 空気を入れることによって水面上に浮上がる有底筒状の浮 きのようなものであってもよい。 また、 浮力発生部を無くし、 よりコンパクトな収容容器にして山間部での遭難用に 使用態様を変更することもできる。 産業上の利用可能性 Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the battery case can be housed in the buoyancy generator, preferably on the bottom side. In addition, the buoyancy generating portion may be a bottomed tubular float that rises above the water surface by injecting air, instead of styrofoam. In addition, the buoyancy generating section can be eliminated, and a more compact storage container can be used to change the usage mode for distress in mountainous areas. Industrial applicability
この発明の救命用ライ卜によれば、 浮力発生部に取り付けられた高輝度 L E Dが水 面上に浮上して強く発光点滅し、 しかも長期間発光点滅するので、 夜間の水難事故な どにおいて、 救助隊が遭難者の居場所を確認できる可能性を高めることができる。 し たがって、 救命胴衣や救命具に予め装備させておくことにより、 夜間の水難事故にお ける救助活動の円滑化に資することができる。  According to the lifesaving light of the present invention, the high-brightness LED attached to the buoyancy generator rises above the surface of the water and flashes intensely and flashes for a long period of time. This increases the likelihood that rescue teams will be able to locate the victim. Therefore, by equipping life jackets and lifesaving equipment in advance, it can contribute to smooth rescue operations in the event of a nighttime flood.
