Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to a triangular stop display board molding that functions as a car molding in normal times and as a triangular stop display board in an emergency. .

<Prior Art> Currently, automobiles are required to be equipped with a triangular stop display board in order to ensure safety by informing other vehicles that the broken down vehicle has stopped in the event of an emergency such as a breakdown.

Therefore, in the past, the triangular stop display board was usually stored in the trunk, and in some European cars, the triangular stop display board was supported and stored behind the trunk hood. Although there are known devices with such a structure, there is generally no space available to store the triangular stop display board.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> As mentioned above, in conventional automobiles, there was no storage space for the triangular stop sign board, and it was common to store the triangular stop sign board in the trunk. If the trunk is full of luggage or you are in a hurry, the triangular stop display board may be under the luggage and difficult to take out, or the trunk hood may not open and the triangular stop display board may be hidden in the event of a rear-end collision. It may not be possible to take out the triangular stop sign board, which poses a safety issue.Furthermore, even if the vehicle has a structure that supports and stores the triangular stop sign behind the trunk hood, a similar problem may occur in the event of a rear-end collision. .

Further, the triangular stop display board is originally intended to be used outside the vehicle, and it is desirable that it be housed outside the vehicle body, but this has been difficult to limit due to design constraints.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was developed by focusing on the above-mentioned conventional problems.In normal times, it is attached to the outer panel of the vehicle body and used as a molding so that it does not get in the way. In the event of an emergency, it can be removed from the exterior of the vehicle and used as a triangular stop sign, making it easy to use when the trunk cannot be opened (such as in the event of a rear-end collision), when the trunk is full of luggage, or when you are in a hurry. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a molding that can also be used as a triangular stop display board, allowing the triangular stop display board to be taken out quickly and ensuring safety.

To this end, the triangular stop display board/molding of the present invention connects the three divided members of the molding, which are the three sides of the triangular stop display board, rotatably at their ends so as to be extendable in a straight line. In addition to forming the surface of each divided member with a light reflecting plate, one of the divided members is provided with a foldable display plate support leg, and furthermore, by making it detachable from the outer panel of the vehicle body,
The above problems have been resolved.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Triangular stop display board molding 1 according to this embodiment
In normal times, door 2 is closed as shown in Figure 2.
A triangular stop sign is attached to the outer panel of the door 2 in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is used as a door side molding.In an emergency, it can be removed from the outer panel of the door 2 and assembled as shown in Figure 1. It is used as a board, and is composed of three divided members 3, 4, and 5 of a molding, which are the three sides of the triangular stop display board.

Each of the divided members 3, 4, and 5 is linearly extendable and rotatably connected at each end to be used as a door side molding. One end portions 3a, 5a of the dividing members 3, 5 are rotatably connected by a clip 6. Specifically, this clip 6 is for attaching to the outer panel of the door 2.
The clips 6 are protruded from one ends 3a and 5a of the dividing members 3 and 5, and the clips 6 are passed through holes formed at both ends 4a of the central dividing member 4, and washers 7 are fitted to prevent the clips from coming off. However, it is designed to be able to rotate around this clip 6. The same effect can be obtained even if the clip 6 is made to protrude from both ends 4a of the dividing member 4. In this connected state, the head of the clip 6 is in a protruding state so that it can be attached to the outer panel of the door 2. In addition to the clip 6, a clip 8 for attachment to the outer panel of the door 2 is protruded from the other ends 3b, 5b of the divided members 3, 5.

Therefore, each of the divided members 3, 4, and 5 can be extended linearly around the clip 6, and in this state, they can be attached to and detached from the outer panel of the door 2 via the clips 6 and 8. By rotating the dividing members 3 and 5 in opposite directions about the clip 6, a triangle can be formed.

Furthermore, a rotational positioning mechanism 9 is provided at the connecting portion of these divided members 3, 4 and 4, 5 to hold these divided members 3, 4, 5 in an extended state and a triangularly bent state. This rotational positioning mechanism 9 includes one end 3 of the divided members 3 and 5 on both sides.
Two balls 11 biased by springs 10 are provided around the clips 6 of a and 5a, and balls 11 are provided at both ends 4a of the central dividing member 4 in corresponding straight positions and triangularly bent positions. Each stopper hole 12a, 12b is arranged at a position, and the ball 11 is placed in each stopper hole 12a, 12b.
It is designed to be held in a straight state and a triangularly bent state when engaged with. Furthermore, these balls 11
The same effect can be obtained even if the stopper holes 12a and 12b are installed so that the dividing members 3 and 5 on both sides and the dividing member 4 in the center are reversed.

Further, the surface of each of the divided members 3, 4, and 5 is formed with a light reflecting plate 13, so that when used as a triangular stop display board, the light is reflected by the light of a car and the light is emitted. .

The light reflecting plate 13 may be provided on only one side or on both sides.

Furthermore, foldable display support legs 14 are provided on both sides of the central dividing member 4 in order to prevent the display board from falling down when used as a triangular stop display board. Each of the display board support legs 14 is rotatably supported at its base end 14a via a shaft, and its distal end 14b engages with a recess 15 formed on the dividing member 4 side to maintain the folded state. A projection 16 is provided.
In this folded state, the base end 14a is positioned while being engaged with the corner 17 on the dividing member 4 side (FIG. 9A), and the protrusion 16 of the distal end 14b is disengaged from the display plate support leg 14. As it is rotated, the base end 14a comes into contact with the dividing member 4 during the rotation, and the distance between the shaft and the corner 17 increases due to the elasticity of the shaft (Fig. 9b), and the shaft is rotated further. The distance between the shaft and the corner 17 returns to the original state, and the shaft can be stopped in the right-angled projecting state.

In this way, if this triangular stop display board molding is normally attached to the outer panel of the door using clips 6 and 8, it will not require a special place for storage and will not be a nuisance. Moreover, in the event of an emergency, it is attached to the outer panel of the door 2, so if it is easily removed and assembled, it can be quickly and reliably used as a triangular stop plate, which is useful for ensuring safety.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, the triangular stop display plate dual-purpose molding of the present invention allows each divided member of the molding divided into three parts, which are the three sides of the triangular stop display board, to be extended linearly at the end. In addition, the surface of each divided member is formed of a light reflecting plate, and one of the divided members is provided with a foldable display plate support leg, and is also detachable from the outer panel of the vehicle body. During normal times, it can be attached to the exterior of the vehicle and used as a molding to keep it out of the way, and in an emergency, it can be removed from the exterior of the vehicle and used as a triangular stop sign, preventing the trunk from being opened in the event of a rear-end collision. Even if you are in a hurry or have a lot of luggage in the trunk, you can easily and quickly take out the triangular stop display plate to ensure safety.Furthermore, by using both functions, the weight is reduced. There is an effect that it can also be done.
