During use, the inner collar 8 and the outer collar 6 contact each other to extend the entire length, so that the driver of the automobile can notice the safety light from a distance at night.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pedestrian safety light for pedestrians to inform a vehicle of its presence at night.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, various safety lights have been devised for a pedestrian to notify his / her own existence to an automobile passing at night. For example, they are known in JP-A-56-101288, JP-A-47-35884, JP-A-49-130783 and JP-B-53-5819.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventional safety lights are so small that they are convenient to carry when not in use, so they have the drawback that they cannot be seen from a distance. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a safety light which can be compactly packed when carried without being used and can be greatly extended when used at night.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above purpose, the safety lamp of this study has an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder that fits in it made of red translucent synthetic resin, and the battery and miniature bulb are fixed inside the inner cylinder. An outer collar is formed on the outer edge of the lower opening in the cylinder, an inner collar corresponding to the outer collar is formed on the inner edge of the upper opening of the outer cylinder, and a hanging string is attached to the upper end of the inner cylinder. The inner cylinder and the outer cylinder may be cylindrical or rectangular, and the inner wall surface is provided with a concave-convex reflecting portion.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the safety light of the present invention is stored or carried without using it, the inner cylinder is pushed into the outer cylinder to reduce the size. When using it, pull out the inner cylinder from the outer cylinder until the outer flange of the inner cylinder hits the inner flange of the outer cylinder, close the switch, and turn on the miniature bulb for carrying.

[0006]

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present consideration will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 is an inner cylinder, and 2 is an outer cylinder, both of which are made of red translucent synthetic resin, and the inner wall surface is formed with uneven reflecting surfaces 3 and 4. An outer collar 6 is formed on the outer edge of the lower end opening 5 of the inner cylinder 1, and an inner collar 8 is formed on the inner edge of the upper end opening 7 of the outer cylinder 2. A battery support frame 10 that supports the battery 9 and a miniature bulb support frame 12 that supports the miniature bulb 11 are fixed in the inner cylinder 1, and lenses 13 and 14 are arranged on both upper and lower sides of the miniature bulb 11. The lower lens 14 can open and close the lower end opening 5 of the inner cylinder 1. A switch 17 for lighting the miniature bulb 11 is attached to a lid 16 made of the same material as the inner cylinder 1 capable of opening and closing the upper end opening 15 of the inner cylinder 1, and a cord ring 18 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the inner cylinder 1. A shoehorn / root 20 is attached to a hanging cord 19 which is attached and tied to a cord ring 18. In FIG. 1, the lower lens 14 and the lid 16 are depicted in a half-open state, but they are normally closed. FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which the second outer cylinder 21 is further fitted on the outer side of the outer cylinder 2 so that the total length during use can be further lengthened. Reference numeral 22 is an outer collar provided on the outer cylinder 2, and 23 is an inner collar provided on the second outer cylinder 21. When the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are square cylinders, the inner collar and the outer collar may be provided on the two surfaces facing each other, and in the case of a cylinder, they are preferably provided on the entire circumference.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, when the miniature bulb is lit and the outer cylinder is extended at night, the red light divergent area becomes wider, which can give a warning to the driver of a moving car from a distance. it can. When not in use, the outer cylinder can be covered with the inner cylinder to make it compact and convenient to carry.

In FIG. 1, the lower lens 14 and the lid 16 are depicted in a half-open state, but they are normally closed. FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which the second outer cylinder 21 is further fitted on the outer side of the outer cylinder 2 so that the total length during use can be further lengthened. Reference numeral 22 is an outer collar provided on the outer cylinder 2, and 23 is an inner collar provided on the second outer cylinder 21. When the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are square cylinders, the inner collar and the outer collar may be provided on the two surfaces facing each other, and in the case of a cylinder, they are preferably provided on the front side. FIG. 4 shows an example in which a blinking switch is provided in addition to the ordinary switch 17. The upper terminal 24 and the lower terminal 25 are attached to one inner wall surface of the inner cylinder 1. The upper terminal 24 is connected to the switch 17 by the electric wire 26, and the lower terminal 25 is connected to the miniature bulb by the electric wire 27. It is connected. An upper terminal 24 has a suspension rod 28 supported at its upper end so that it can be swung in the annular portion 29 of the lower terminal 25. A weight 30 is attached to the lower end of the suspension rod 28. There is. Since the miniature bulb blinks when the suspension rod 28 swings, the driver of the vehicle can be more effectively alerted.
