This invention relates to a signal light that can also be used as an electric light for illumination.

[Prior Art] A signal light having a red cylindrical light-emitting part and a continuous grip part is currently used by police officers and the like when controlling traffic. A light source that emits light continuously is used as the light source of the light emitting section. There are no electric lights for lighting, and the building is very long overall.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Due to the length of the above-mentioned signal lights, it is difficult to find a storage space inside the vehicle, for example, near the driver's seat, when not in use. Furthermore, preparing a separate flashlight for illumination is also inconvenient as it increases the amount of luggage inside the vehicle.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the configuration of the present invention is to provide a signal light consisting of a light emitting tube section with an illumination light section at its tip and a cylindrical grip section. A grip part is fitted into the light emitting tube part, and the grip part is fitted into a plurality of slide grooves formed on the inner periphery of the former and the slide protrusions formed on the outer periphery of the latter so that they can slide forward and backward, and the other supports the blinking flash light source. Both slide legs of this lamp support piece are slidably arranged in guide grooves formed in the slide grooves, and the guide grooves extend from the rear end of the illumination lamp part of the light emitting tube part. , configured at a position halfway between the tip of the grip part and the rear end of the illumination lamp part of the light emitting tube part when the grip part is in the maximum pulled out state,
A magnet is fixed to the central end of the guide groove and both sliding legs of the lamp support piece so that pole surfaces of different polarities face each other, and a magnet is fixed to the rear end of the illumination lamp part. A stopper portion is configured to prevent further forward movement of the lamp support piece when the lamp support piece is inserted into the light emitting barrel at its maximum, and the inner upper end of the grip portion is configured to prevent the lamp support piece from moving further forward when the lamp support piece is inserted into the light emitting tube portion at its maximum. This is a signal light with a push-in part.

In addition, reflectors are arranged at the rear end of the illumination lamp part of the light emitting tube part and at the tip of the grip part so as to face each other with the blinking flash light source located between them, and the flash light of the blinking flash light source is emitted. It is preferable to configure the irradiation so that the entire inner periphery of the cylindrical portion is irradiated evenly.

A xenon lamp can be used as the blinking flash light source.

Note that both of the above reflecting mirrors are concave mirrors with appropriate curvature. As described above, the curvature is determined so that the flash light is reflected on the inner surface of the light emitting tube part on average.

Further, a holding means is provided so that the grip portion is held in the extended and shortened states with appropriate strength.

[Function] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is suitable for being installed in a passenger car or other motor vehicle.

Needless to say, it is convenient because it can be extended and used as a signal light in the event of an emergency such as a traffic accident or breakdown, and it can also be used as an electric light for illumination when observing the engine room at night.

When using it, first pull out the grip part to the maximum pull-out position, and then turn the tip of the light tube part upwards, and the inner lamp support piece will fall under its own weight.
Move to the central end of the guide groove. here,
The magnet disposed at the central end of the guide groove and the magnets disposed at both sliding legs of the lamp support piece attract each other, and the blinking flash light source is fixed there.

In this way, the flashing flash light source flashes approximately at the center of the light emitting tube section.

After use, when the grip part is slid into the light emitting tube part, the mutual attraction between the slide leg part of the lamp support piece and the central end of the guide groove is forcibly released, and the lamp support piece is The tip of the grip part is pushed into the stopper part at the rear end of the illumination lamp part, where it is held in a clamped state.

In this way, the entire structure can be shortened after use, making it very compact and convenient to be installed in a car. It is very easy to use as an electric light for illumination because it can be used even in the shortened state.

Naturally, when using it as a signal light in an emergency,
As mentioned above, it goes without saying that it is appropriate to increase visibility in the extended state.

On the other hand, on the outer periphery of the grip portion 2, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, slide protrusions 4, 4... are formed in correspondence with the slide grooves 3, 3..., and the corresponding slide grooves 3, 4... 3... and slide protrusions 4, 4...
It is a combination of the two. Note that among the plurality of slide protrusions 4, 4... to be formed on the outer periphery of the grip portion 2, those at every 90° in the circumferential direction are omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, at the corresponding positions on the upper end of the grip portion 2,
Each constitutes a stopper 5, 5.... Also in the light emitting barrel portion 1, stoppers 6, 6, . . . are formed at the lower portions of the slide grooves 3, 3, . In this way, when the grip part 2 is pulled out from the light emitting tube part 1, further pulling out is restricted at the maximum pulled-out position. In addition, in the case of this state that is maintained, the corresponding stots papers 5,5…, 6,6… Magnetto 7, so that the polar polar pole is face -to -face 7,
7..., 8, 8... are fixedly installed.

Further, an illumination lamp section 9 is configured at the tip of the light emitting tube section 1. This is composed of a frame part 10 screwed onto the tip of the light emitting tube part 1, a miniature light bulb 11 disposed thereon, a lens 12, and a reflecting mirror 13. Incidentally, a concave mirror 15a for reflecting the flash of light from a xenon lamp 14, which will be described later, is fixedly installed in the socket 11' of the miniature light bulb 11. Separately, a concave mirror 15b to be paired with the concave mirror 15a is fixedly installed at the upper end of the grip portion 2 so as to face each other. Double concave mirror 15a, 1

15b. Magnets 18, 1 are attached to the center side ends of the guide grooves 17, 17 and both sliding legs of the lamp support piece 16 so that pole surfaces of different polarities face each other.
8, 19, and 19 are fixed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner end of the frame part 10 of the illumination lamp part 9 is connected to the inner end of the lamp support piece 16 when the grip part 2 is completely inserted into the light emitting tube part 1. A stopper portion is configured to prevent upward movement. Further, the inner upper end of the grip portion 2 projects upwardly from the concave mirror 15b provided thereon, and constitutes a push-in portion for pushing the lamp support piece 16.

In the figure, 20, 21, 22 are magnets, 23
24 is a battery storage section, 24 is a battery, 25 is a blinking drive circuit section for driving the xenon lamp to blink, and 26 is a switch for the illumination lamp section. The xenon lamp 14 is configured to be turned on when the grip portion 2 is pulled out. Wiring for driving current to the small light bulb 11 and the xenon lamp 14 is conducted through the slide grooves 3, 3.
This can be done by using the bottom of the groove, etc.

In this embodiment, configured as described above, it can be installed in a passenger car or other automobile and used as both a signal light and a flashlight.

It can be used as a signal light in the event of an emergency such as a traffic accident or breakdown.

When the grip portion 2 is pulled out to its maximum extent, the magnets 7, 7, 8, and 8 hold it in that state, and the xenon lamp 14 begins to emit flash light at a predetermined frequency. At this time, by standing the entire unit with the lighting section 9 facing upward, the xenon lamp 14 and the lamp support piece 16 will descend under their own weight and reach the center, and will be fixed in that position by the action of the magnets 18, 18, 19, and 19. It will be done.

Therefore, it can be used by holding it in the hand and swinging it, or by using the magnet 22 placed on the lower surface of the grip part 2, by fixing it as high as possible, such as on the roof of a car.

When not used as a signal light, by pushing the grip part 2 into the light emitting tube part 1, the entire length can be shortened to nearly half. At this time,
This is possible because the xenon lamp 14 is pushed upward together with the lamp support piece 16.

In this way, it can be easily stored even in a space that is not very large, such as near the driver's seat of a car.

It can also be used as a lighting lamp when inspecting the engine room at night or for other purposes. At this time, it is sufficient to simply turn on the switch 26 while maintaining the shortened state. When used as an electric light for illumination, it is easy to use because it can be used in a shortened state.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention, when used as a signal light, visibility can be improved by lengthening the light emitting tube, while in other cases, by shortening it, the entire structure can be improved. It is compact and easy to store.
