Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a snow protection plate for a horizontally large vehicle indicator light installed on the roof of a vehicle such as an emergency vehicle or a road maintenance work vehicle.

Conventionally, the tops of both sides of an oblong platform were covered with transparent globes, and an indicator light was placed inside.A speaker was installed in the center, and the indicator light was covered with a cover with many small holes in the front.The indicator light was placed on the roof of the vehicle. However, in cold winter regions, snow can clog and fill the small holes in the cover, or moisture can freeze in the holes and fill them, and when the vehicle is running, snow can get stuck in the small holes in the cover. Snow blows in and gets stuck inside the speaker horn, resulting in poor sound production, and the sound from the internal speaker cannot be transmitted to the outside in a faithful high-pitched tone.

The present invention eliminates such drawbacks and enables normal voice transmission at all times.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the embodiment shown in the figure. Indicator lights 2 such as rotating lights or flashing lights are provided on the upper sides of both sides of an oblong platform 1, and are covered with transparent globes 3. A speaker 4 is installed and covered with a cover 6 having a large number of small holes 5 on the front side. An L-shaped snow protection board 7 is set up from the bottom end of this cover 6, and the top end of this snow protection board 7 is inclined toward the indicator light 2 side. I'm letting you do it. This indicator light is installed and fixed on the roof of the vehicle in a horizontally elongated state in the vehicle width direction.

With the above-described configuration of the present invention, falling snow hits the snow protection plate 7 and is thrown upward by the wind force when the vehicle is running. Therefore, it is possible to prevent snow from adhering to and blowing into the small holes 5 on the front surface of the cover 6.

As another embodiment, the snow prevention plate 7 can be provided in a horizontally elongated manner not only on the front surface of the cover 6 of the speaker 4 but also on the front surface of the globe 3 to prevent snow from adhering to the globe 3. Can clearly emit two lights.

In addition, this snow protection plate 7 can remove snow when the vehicle is stopped by providing a hole in the horizontal part between the lower end part of the cover 6 and the upwardly erected part, or by connecting these parts with several arms. It is also possible to prevent snow from accumulating on the front surface of the cover 6.

Furthermore, the same effect can be obtained even if the snow protection plate 7 is not fixed to the lower end portion of the cover 6 of the indicator light 2, but is fixed independently to an appropriate location on the roof of the vehicle.

As described above, the present invention is highly practical by providing the snow protection plate so that the sound from the speaker can be faithfully transmitted to the outside and the vehicle can operate properly.
