Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a cane with a flag for preventing traffic accidents, which is equipped with a flag that can be moved in and out of the cane.

(Prior art) Conventionally, a cane with a flag (Utility Model Application No. 56-54125 (Utility Model Application No. 57-166725 ), a hollow part is formed near the top of the cane to accommodate a fan-shaped flag on a shaft, and the stored flag is swung out using the restoring force of a coil wound around the shaft. A marker cane (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 41-20424) is well known.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, with the former flag-attached cane, the axis around which the flag is wrapped is aligned with the axis of the cane leg, so even if the flag is taken out while the cane is attached, the flag does not spread out. It hangs down without any problem. In order to make the flag stand out, it is necessary to display it horizontally without using it as a cane, but in that case the cane loses its function, which is not only inconvenient for those who need it, but also makes the flag stand out horizontally without being used as a cane. When it becomes necessary to display a flag, it is necessary to lift the tip of the cane, which makes it impossible to immediately display the flag and cross the road smoothly, which increases the risk of danger. There is.

The latter type of sign cane is more practical than the former in that it still functions as a cane even when the flag is displayed, but the handle (handle) of the cane is held in a position with the thumb facing up. Considering that the four fingers of the cane should be wrapped around the handle from below, if the operation part was placed below the side of the cane leg, it would be necessary to change the grip to operate it.
At that time, the cane does not function properly, making it dangerous, and since the flag is fan-shaped, it is small and difficult to stand out.

In either case, the problem is that even if the flag is displayed at night, it is too dark and the flag does not function at all, making the cane no different from an ordinary cane.

The present invention has been devised by focusing on the above-mentioned problems and drawbacks of the conventional technology, and is capable of waving a flag while holding a cane without changing its grip.
To provide a cane with a flag that prevents traffic accidents by allowing the user to walk with a flag displayed without losing the function of the cane, allowing the flag to be seen even at night, and making walking at night safer. It is something.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a flag cane for preventing traffic accidents with the following configuration.

That is, the cane with a flag for preventing traffic accidents of the present invention has a cane main body, which has a handle b attached to the upper part of the cane leg, which has a hollow part with a window hole that can be opened and closed in a part to store the flag. In the case where the hollow part of A is equipped with a freely swingable flag, the handle b is passed through a swinging mechanism housing hole that communicates with the hollow part, and the upper end becomes the pressing part 16 in the swinging mechanism housing hole. A swinging mechanism B, which has an operating shaft supported by a substrate e, which moves up and down against a coil spring i and is locked in a depressed position by a lever g for engagement and disengagement, is connected to the pressing part 16 and the lever for engagement and disengagement. g is accommodated and fixed so as to protrude from the handle b, and an operating plate h is pivotally attached to the lower end of the base plate e of the swinging mechanism B by a shaft rod 27 so as to be rotated by 90 degrees when the tip of the operating shaft is lowered. , One end of the mounting rod 28 of the flag rod C, which rotatably supports the rotary cylinder 30 wrapped with the bunting 32 on the mounting rod 28, is fixed to the operating plate h in a hanging state, and the flag rod C is inserted into the hollow part.

is fixed and a bunting 32 is wrapped around the rotating tube 30, and the mounting rod 28 of this flag rod C is attached to the swinging mechanism B.
The operating plate h is pivoted to the center of the bottom surface of the operating plate h by a shaft rod 27 so as to be rotated by 90 degrees when the tip of the thin diameter portion 21 of the operating shaft is lowered.

Next, I will explain how to use this invention.
First, rotate the outer cylinder 4 of the cane main body A to open the outer window 3 of the outer cylinder 4.
and the inner window 2 of the leg tube 1 are overlapped to expose the flag rod C installed inside the leg tube 1.

Then, when the pressing part 16 of the operating rod f of the swinging mechanism B protruding from the upper part of the handle b of the cane body A is pressed with the thumb of the grasping hand against the elastic force of the coil spring i, the large diameter part is disengaged. The operating lever g descends while contacting the locking protrusion 22, and the tip of the narrow diameter portion 21 of the operating lever f comes to press against the top surface 25 of the operating plate h.
The actuating plate h rotates to the right around the shaft rod 27,
The top surface 25 gradually inclines in the vertical direction, and the flag rod C attached to the operating plate h comes out from the inner and outer windows 2 and 3 of the cane body A as if swinging its arm up.

When the pressing portion 16 is further pressed and the upper end of the large diameter portion passes the locking protrusion 22 of the locking/disengaging lever g, the locking protrusion 22 of the locking/disengaging lever g moves to the large diameter due to the elastic force of the spring j. It is abutted and locked by the locking step 19 of the section, and the state shown in FIG. 8 is achieved.

At this time, the tip of the actuating rod f stops descending in a state in which it comes into contact with the top surface 25 of the vertically oriented actuating plate h, and the flag rod C maintains a horizontal state.

At the same time, the bunting 32 wrapped around the rotating tube 30 of the flag rod C
is pulled downward by the weight of the weight 33, resulting in the state shown in FIG.

Furthermore, at night, if the switch 10 is turned on and the miniature light bulb 11 is turned on, the bunting 32 will be illuminated and can be easily checked.

To store this protruding flag rod C, first, the rotating tube 30 of the flag rod C is rotated, and the bunting 32 is wrapped around the rotating tube 30.

When the lever g is pushed to the right against the elastic force of the spring j, the locking protrusion 22 of the lever g separates from the step 19 of the operating rod f.

As a result, the coil spring i springs and pushes the operating rod f upward, and the tip of the narrow diameter portion 21 of the operating rod f rises.

As the narrow diameter portion 21 rises, the top surface 25 of the operating plate h rotates to the left while contacting the narrow diameter portion 21 due to the weight of the flag rod C, and finally the flag rod C hangs down due to its own weight.

As a result, the flag rod C wrapped with the bunting cloth 32 is stored inside the cane main body A through the inner and outer windows 2 and 3, and the outer cylinder 4 of the cane main body A is rotated so that the outer cylinder 4 is inserted into the inner window of the leg cylinder 1. cover the
As shown in FIG. 1, the flag rod C is stored in the cane body A.

In the above embodiment, the bunting 32 is attached to the rotating tube 30.
The explanation has been given using an example in which the bunting is wrapped by hand, but as shown in FIGS. One end of the string 34 is fixed to the left end of the tube 30, and a storage tube 37 having a string hole 35 and a flag hole 36 is fixed to the mounting rod 28 so as to cover the rotary tube 30, forming a flag rod C. Attach the mounting rod 28 or the storage tube 37 to the operating plate h of the swinging mechanism B.

To put in and take out the bunting 32 of this flag rod C, please use the storage tube 3.
When the tip of the bunting 32 slightly protruding from the flag hole 36 of No. 7 is pulled by hand, the rotating tube 30 rotates as shown in FIG. The string 34 entering from the string hole 35 of the tube 37 connects to the rotating tube 3.
As shown in FIG. 13, the bunting 32 hangs down from the flag hole 36 of the storage tube 37. When the string 34 coming out from the hole 35 is pulled, the rotating tube 30 rotates, and this rotation causes the rotating tube 3 to rotate.
0 is wrapped with the bunting 32, and the bunting 32 is wrapped around the storage tube 37.
is stored.

In this case, in order to improve the winding of the string 34, a coil spring to which one end of the string 34 is fixed may be fixed to the end of the rotating tube 30.

(Effects of the invention) The cane with a flag for preventing traffic accidents according to the invention is equipped with a flag that can be freely swung as described above.
It is different from conventional products in that by taking out the flag from the cane body A, you can easily indicate your intention to cross the road and confirm your presence while walking without raising your hand or holding the flag. The same effect is achieved, but in particular, the cane body A has a handle b attached to the upper part of the cane leg, which has a hollow part with a window hole that can be opened and closed to store the flag. In the hollow part in which a freely swingable flag is installed, the handle b is passed through a swinging mechanism housing hole communicating with the hollow part, and a coil spring i is inserted into the swinging mechanism housing hole, the upper end of which becomes the pressing part 16. A swinging mechanism B includes an operating shaft supported by a substrate e, which moves up and down against the pressure and is locked at the depressed position by a lever g for engagement and disengagement, and a pressing part 16 and a lever g for engagement and disengagement. The handle b is housed and fixed so as to protrude from the handle b, and an operating plate h is pivotally attached to the lower end of the base plate e of the swinging mechanism B by a shaft rod 27 so as to be rotated by 90 degrees when the tip of the operating shaft is lowered. The rotating cylinder 30 wrapped with cloth 32 is attached to the mounting rod 28
One end of the mounting rod 28 of the flag rod C, which is rotatably supported by the flag rod C, is fixed to the actuating plate h in a hanging state, and the flag rod C is installed in the hollow part, and the handle b portion is irradiated with the flag swinging state. Since the switch 10 is installed protruding from the lighting device, the user can operate the pressing part with his thumb while holding the handle of the cane, so he can use the cane as a support without changing his hand. In addition to being able to wave the flag while walking without losing the function of the cane, an attached illumination device illuminates the direction in which the flag is waved, making it easier for others to see the flag. Not only does this make it possible to cross the road safely, but the light emitted from the flag also illuminates the road, making it safe not only to cross the road but also to walk on regular roads at night. There is an effect that can be done.

Furthermore, since the flag to be waved is wrapped around a rotating tube, the area can be increased, and if it is wide, it can be clearly identified even from a distance, and has an excellent effect on traffic safety.
