第１考案の光線案内要素は、透光性の光線導体の一面に反射部を配設して成る 光線案内体において、光線導体が合成樹脂のチューブから成り、該チューブの内 周面に螺旋溝の反射部を削設して成るものである。 The light guide element of the first invention is a light guide body in which a reflecting portion is disposed on one surface of a light-transmitting light conductor, wherein the light conductor is made of a synthetic resin tube, and a spiral groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the tube. It is formed by cutting the reflection part of.
【０００５】 第２考案の光線案内要素は、透光性の光線導体の一面に反射部を配設して成る 光線案内体において、光線導体が合成樹脂のチューブから成り、反射部が該チュ ーブの外面からほぼ軸心に至る切り溝を所要の間隔で多数個配設したものから成 る光線案内要素。The light guiding element of the second invention is a light guiding body in which a reflecting portion is disposed on one surface of a light transmitting light conductor, wherein the light guiding conductor is made of a synthetic resin tube, and the reflecting portion is formed of the tube.

【０００７】[0007]
光線導体がチューブであるから、反射部の配設範囲は全周面どこでもよく、ま た、光源からの光エネルギーはチューブの全肉厚断面から伝達されるから、曲部 でも効率よく伝播される。また、外形が円形で単純であるから、実用面での取付 け構造が簡易となる。 Since the light conductor is a tube, the range of the reflection part can be anywhere on the entire circumference, and since the light energy from the light source is transmitted from the entire thickness section of the tube, it can also be efficiently propagated in the curved part. . Further, since the outer shape is circular and simple, the mounting structure in practical use becomes simple.

本考案を実施例により説明すると、図１に示した光線案内要素ａは、透明な合 成樹脂製の所要長のチューブ１の内面に螺旋溝２（連続でも断続でもよい。）か ら成る反射部３を削設して成るものである。 To explain the present invention by way of example, the ray guiding element a shown in FIG. 1 is a reflection consisting of a spiral groove 2 (continuous or intermittent) on the inner surface of a tube 1 made of transparent synthetic resin and having a required length. The part 3 is cut away.
【０００９】 図２に示した光線案内要素ａは、透明な合成樹脂製の所要長のチューブ１にお いて、該チューブ１の外面からほぼ軸心に至る切り溝４から成る反射部３を所要 の間隔で多数個配設して成るものである。The ray guiding element a shown in FIG. 2 is a transparent synthetic resin tube 1 having a required length, which requires a reflecting portion 3 including a kerf 4 extending from the outer surface of the tube 1 to substantially the axial center. A large number are arranged at intervals of.
【００１０】 図３に示した光線案内要素ａは、透明な合成樹脂製のチューブ１と該チューブ １に内嵌する透明な合成樹脂製の棒状体５から成り、該棒状体５の外周面に螺旋 溝６（連続でも断続でもよい。）から成る反射部３を削設して成るものである。 なお、棒状体５は中実のものに限定するものではなく、中空体のものでもよく、 反射部３は合成樹脂製チューブ等の肉厚内に混入される乱反射材によるものでも よい。The light guiding element a shown in FIG. 3 is composed of a transparent synthetic resin tube 1 and a transparent synthetic resin rod-shaped body 5 to be fitted in the tube 1. The reflecting portion 3 is formed by forming a spiral groove 6 (which may be continuous or intermittent). The rod-shaped body 5 is not limited to a solid body, and may be a hollow body, and the reflection part 3 may be made of a diffuse reflection material mixed in the wall thickness of a synthetic resin tube or the like.
【００１１】 以上のように本考案の光線案内要素ａは、光線導体が一般的に量産されている 透明な合成樹脂製のチューブ１或いは該チューブ１に内嵌する合成樹脂製の棒状 体５であるから、反射部３を構成する面は円周面どの位置でもよく、しかも導入 される光線は、円周部全肉厚断面から伝達されるから伝播効率もよく、その上、 形状が円形で単純であるから加工もし易く、低コストで提供できる上、柔軟性を 有するから曲部での光線伝播も容易であるなどの利点を有するものである。As described above, the light guide element a of the present invention is a transparent synthetic resin tube 1 or a synthetic resin rod-shaped body 5 fitted in the tube 1 in which a light conductor is generally mass-produced. Therefore, the surface forming the reflecting portion 3 may be located at any position on the circumferential surface, and the introduced light ray is transmitted from the entire thickness section of the circumferential portion, so that the propagation efficiency is good, and in addition, the shape is circular. Since it is simple, it can be easily processed, and it can be provided at a low cost. Moreover, it has the advantage that it has flexibility and can easily propagate light rays at curved portions.
【００１２】 このようにして成る光線案内要素ａを一例として、手摺７に利用した場合を説 明すると、図４に示すように、手摺本体８の頂部（視認できる箇所であれば側部 でもよい。）に嵌入溝９を縦設し、該嵌入溝９に図１に示した光線案内要素ａを 嵌入して固着し、一端部に光源１０を設けて光線を導入するものである。導入さ れた光線は円周方向全ての断面から伝達され、反射部３としての螺旋溝２をキラ キラと光輝させ、停電時の非常電源使用時や夜間の節電時での手摺７の位置を小 電力で目視させるものである。前記反射部３として、切り溝４を設けた光線案内 要素ａを使用する場合は、切り溝４側を嵌入溝９の底面に向けて埋設するもので ある。また、利用範囲が長尺にわたる場合は、光源の強さによって複数個の光源 １０を所要間隔に配設して光線を導入すればよい。このほかの用途としては屋内 通路の壁面や床隅部にも利用できるものである。なお、光源１０としては小型節 電タイプのものとして、光半導体素子を利用したものなどが実用的である。The case where the light guide element a configured as described above is used for the handrail 7 will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 4, the top portion of the handrail main body 8 (the side portion may be a visible portion). 1) is provided with a fitting groove 9 vertically, and the light guiding element a shown in FIG. 1 is fitted and fixed in the fitting groove 9, and a light source 10 is provided at one end to introduce a light beam. The introduced light beam is transmitted from all the cross sections in the circumferential direction, and the spiral groove 2 as the reflection part 3 shines brilliantly, and the position of the handrail 7 is adjusted when the emergency power source is used during a power outage or when saving power at night. It is to be viewed with a small amount of electricity. When the light guide element a provided with the cut groove 4 is used as the reflecting portion 3, the cut groove 4 side is buried toward the bottom surface of the fitting groove 9. If the range of use is long, a plurality of light sources 10 may be arranged at required intervals depending on the strength of the light source to introduce a light beam. Other uses include the walls and floor corners of indoor passages. It is to be noted that the light source 10 is practically a small power-saving type using an optical semiconductor element.
【００１３】[0013]
以上のように本考案の光線案内要素ａによれば、光源からの光線を伝播効率よ く伝達するから省力的に表示機能を達成する上、外形が単純であるから反射部の 構成が簡易となって低コストで実用化できる効果があるほか、実用面での取付け 構造が簡易となるなどの波及効果をも奏するものである。 As described above, according to the light guide element a of the present invention, the light from the light source is transmitted with high propagation efficiency to achieve the display function in a labor-saving manner, and since the outer shape is simple, the structure of the reflecting portion is simple. In addition to the effect that it can be put to practical use at a low cost, it also has ripple effects such as a simple mounting structure for practical use.
