JP2006256588A - Signal box lighting and displaying kana letters of "brake" near vehicle front side license plate when brake is applied - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that each of a turn-right vehicle and an opposite side going-straight vehicle at a crossing point acts under a timing based on a guess work while lacking of a concrete judgment material even if a traffic rule on priority is considered whether or not the own vehicle can go straight as it is or whether or not the own vehicle stops to wait for the opposite vehicle to go, and further pedestrians near around also can take action only by prospective judgment, so that if a current intention of the advancing vehicle can be read from its front side, additional judgment material on action is added to improve a traffic safety in driving operation. <P>SOLUTION: A signal box for lighting and displaying a brake operation is connected to a license plate at the front surface of a vehicle and this box is fixed to and installed at the vehicle together with the license plate. The signal box shows a clear lighting and displaying of Kana letters of "brake" at its surface when a driver steps on the brake, and clearly expresses against the pedestrians that the vehicle intends to stop or slow down. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

発明の詳細な説明Detailed Description of the Invention

［発明の属する技術分野］
本発明は、正面を除き黒色のアクリル板で囲まれた、横幅はナンバープレートに一致、縦幅はプレート縦幅の約１／２，奥行約４５ｍｍの横長ボックス型の標識で、ボックス内に赤、青、若しくは白熱の小型電球４個と反射板を取付けたものである。正面アクリル板は２層から成り、奥の板は黒地で「ブレーキ」のカナ文字を切り抜き、この板に半透明の白色アクリル板を圧着させ正面を覆う。無点燈時は正面が乳白色の無地ボックスだが、点燈すると赤、青、若しくは白熱の「ブレーキ」文字が浮き出るようにしたものである。また車両への取付けにはナンバープレートを利用する。標識ボックスの前面上部又は下部に取付けのりしろがつき、これに穴を穿ち、ナンバープレートの車両取付け穴と繋がって車両に装着されるようにしたものである。[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention is a horizontally long box-shaped sign surrounded by a black acrylic plate except for the front, whose width is the same as the license plate, whose vertical width is about 1/2 of the plate's vertical width, and whose depth is about 45 mm. , Blue or incandescent light bulbs and a reflector. The front acrylic board consists of two layers, and the back board cuts out the "brake" kana character on a black background, and a translucent white acrylic board is crimped on this board to cover the front. When it is unlit, it is a plain box with a milky white front, but when it is lit, a red, blue, or incandescent "brake" character appears. A license plate is used for mounting on the vehicle. An attachment margin is attached to the front upper part or the lower part of the sign box, and a hole is formed in the mark box so that the sign box is attached to the vehicle attachment hole of the license plate.

［従来の技術］
従来、ブレーキ作動を自動車正面から認知する明瞭な技術はなく、僅かに後尾のブレーキ燈類似の赤色ランプを正面に付ける案が見受けられるが、緊急自動車のそれと紛らわしく且つ、万人にブレーキ作動表示燈と認識できるものではない。[Conventional technology]
Conventionally, there is no clear technique for recognizing the brake operation from the front of the car, and there is a plan to put a red lamp on the front slightly similar to the brake on the rear, but it is confusing with that of an emergency car and the brake operation display It is not something that can be recognized.

［発明の実施の形態］
本発明は、進行している自動車が、いまブレーキを作動中か否か、対面する、人、車へ明瞭に知らせる「ブレーキ」文字点燈標識ボックスである。図１について説明すれば、標識ボックス１にあるとおり、このボックスは正面を除き３面が１層のアクリル板で囲まれており、底に赤色、青色若しくは白熱の電球と反射板を付ける。表面の枠には車両取付け用ののりしろ分が一体成型されている。標識ボックス２にあるとおり、正面は２層のアクリル板をつけ、奥の層は黒色で「ブレーキ」文字が切り抜かれている。表面の層は白色の半透明板で覆い、これで無点燈時では乳白色の無地、点燈時には文字が赤、又は青く浮き出るようにする。図２について説明すればプレート１にあるとおり、標識ボックスはナンバープレートの車両取付け用穴から車両へ接合固定される。そして図３の如く車両に装着される。[Embodiment of the Invention]
The present invention is a “brake” letter point indicator box that clearly informs the person or vehicle that the car in progress is facing whether or not the brake is currently being operated. Referring to FIG. 1, as shown in the sign box 1, this box is surrounded by a single layer of acrylic plate except for the front, and a red, blue or incandescent light bulb and a reflector are attached to the bottom. A margin for mounting the vehicle is integrally formed on the surface frame. As shown in the sign box 2, the front has two layers of acrylic plates, the back layer is black and the "brake" character is cut out. The surface layer is covered with a white translucent plate, so that when it is not lit, the color is milky white and when it is lit, the letters appear to be red or blue. Referring to FIG. 2, as shown in the plate 1, the sign box is joined and fixed to the vehicle from the vehicle mounting hole of the license plate. Then, it is mounted on the vehicle as shown in FIG.

［発明の効果］
このようにすれば、進行してくる車がブレーキを踏んでいるか否か、対面する車両や、横断しようとする通行人が明瞭に確認することが出来る。この標識の状態と周りの状態を見て、行きあった車両や、人は己が進行するか、譲るか、より客観的に判断することが出来るようになり、広く交通安全に寄与するものである。[The invention's effect]
In this way, it is possible to clearly check whether the vehicle that is traveling is stepping on the brake, and the vehicle that is facing and the passerby who is going to cross. By looking at the state of this sign and the surrounding conditions, it becomes possible for the vehicle and the person who went there to judge more objectively whether to proceed, give up, and contribute widely to traffic safety. is there.

Claims (2)

自動車車両の正面ナンバープレート上部、又は下部にブレーキ作動中を表示する標識ボックスを取付ける。ブレーキを踏むと自動車正面に装着されたこの標識が点燈することで、向き合った車、通行人はこの車の今の意思を認知出来、見込みのみに頼らずに今己が進行すべきか否か新たな材料を得て判断出来るようにするものである。緊急自動車の正面バンパーに装着されている赤色灯などと明瞭に弁別でき且つ、ブレーキ作動中であることが周りに確実に伝えられるべく、文字でこれを表示するよう工夫したものである。    Attach a sign box to indicate that the brake is operating on the top or bottom of the front license plate of the car. When the brake is stepped on, this sign attached to the front of the car lights up, so that the car and passers-by who are facing each other can recognize the present intention of this car, and whether or not it should proceed now without relying only on the prospect It will make it possible to obtain and judge new materials. It is devised to display it in text so that it can be clearly distinguished from a red light or the like mounted on the front bumper of an emergency vehicle, and that the brake is being operated reliably. ブレーキ標識燈はナンバープレートに接続して取り付ける。横幅はプレート幅に一致し、縦幅はプレート縦幅の約１／２で横長のボックス型とする。ブレーキ作動によりカナ文字、「ブレーキ」が点燈する。    Connect the brake indicator to the license plate. The horizontal width is equal to the plate width, and the vertical width is about 1/2 of the plate vertical width. The kana character and “brake” are turned on when the brake is activated.
