Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a taxi indicator light that is mounted on the roof of a taxi.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the above-mentioned taxi indicator light has been composed of a shaped light device body having a mounting plate formed in an appropriate shape from a translucent material, a top plate that closes the top opening of the shaped light device body, and this top plate. A symbol tower body made of a transparent material is provided upright from a center hole of the plate, and a lighting device is housed in the lamp body so that the lamp body and the symbol tower body can be illuminated from inside. something is known.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

In the conventional taxi indicator light, the top plate that closes the top opening of the shaped lamp body is made of the same transparent material as the lamp body and the symbol tower.
Internal illumination light passes through the top plate and is irradiated upwards, and the symbol tower body is also illuminated from the outside by this irradiation light, so the outline of the symbol tower body is not clearly defined. When a customer views the taxi from a distance, the entire indicator light appears round and blurred, and there is a problem in that the taxi indicator light cannot fully perform its function of identifying the taxi company.

This idea was devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose was to make the outline of the symbol tower stand out, so that when customers saw it from a distance, the entire indicator light had a specific shape. To provide a taxi indicator light that is clearly visible in its shape and can fully perform the function of a taxi indicator light for identifying a taxi company.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the taxi indicator light of this invention includes a shaped light device main body 1 having a mounting plate 1a formed in an appropriate shape from a transparent material, and an upper opening of the shaped light device body 1. a top plate 2 that blocks the
A symbol tower body 3 formed of a translucent material stands up from the center hole 2a of the top plate 2, and the lamp body 1
A lighting device 4 that is housed inside the lamp body 1 and the symbol tower body 3 so as to be illuminated from inside, the top plate 2 is provided with a light reflecting surface 5 on the inner surface.
It is characterized in that it is formed of an opaque plate that does not allow internal illumination light to pass through upward.

[Effect]

If the lamp main body top plate 2 is formed of an opaque plate that has a light reflecting surface 5 on the inner surface and does not allow internal illumination light to pass through upwards as described above, the symbol tower body 3 will be illuminated only from the inside. Therefore, the symbol tower body 3 appears to be floating in the dark, and the lighting effect of the shaped lamp body 1 is also improved due to the light reflection effect of the top plate reflective surface 5, making it easier for customers to see from a distance. In this case, the entire indicator light is clearly visible in the specific shape, and the function of the taxi indicator light to identify the taxi company can be fully demonstrated.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. This taxi indicator light is used by being mounted on the roof of a taxi, and is made of a milky white translucent material and formed into an appropriate shape, for example, the shape of Tokyo Tower. A shaped light device main body 1 having a base plate 1a, a top plate 2 fixed with adhesive so as to close the upper opening of the shaped light device main body 1, and a center hole 2a of this top plate 2.
A symbol tower body 3 in the shape of a hollow pyramid formed of a colored (for example, green) translucent material is glued and fixed so as to stand upright from the lamp body 1, and a lamp body 1 is placed inside the lamp body 1.
and a lighting device 4 that is housed so as to illuminate the symbol tower body 3 from inside, and the top plate 2 is formed of an opaque plate having a light reflecting surface 5 on the inner surface and preventing internal illumination light from passing upward. It is something.

The lighting device 4 is provided with one upper socket 9 fixed via a plurality of lower sockets 7 and a bracket 8 on a base 6 which is fastened together with the main body mounting base plate 1a. A light bulb 10 for illuminating the upper part of the molded lamp body 1 and the symbol tower body 3 from inside is attached to 9, and a plurality of light bulbs 11 for illuminating the lower part of the molded lamp body 1 from the inside is attached to the lower socket 7. The light bulbs 10 and 11 are turned on by connecting a power cord (not shown) to an automobile power source.

[Effect of idea]

In the taxi indicator light of this invention, as described above, the top plate 2 of the lamp body 1 is formed of an opaque plate that has a light reflecting surface 5 on the inner surface and prevents internal illumination light from passing upward, so that the symbol tower body 3 is Since it is illuminated only from the inside, the symbol tower body 3 appears to be floating in the dark, and due to the light reflection effect of the top plate reflective surface 5, the illumination of the shaped lamp body 1 is reduced. The effect is also improved, and when a customer looks from a distance, the entire indicator light is clearly visible in a specific shape, and the function of the taxi indicator light to identify the taxi company can be fully demonstrated.
