【産業上の利用分野】[Industrial applications]

本考案は弱視者のために行く手を照明するライトを取り付けた弱視者用ライト 付き杖に関する。 The present invention relates to a wand with a light for the visually impaired, which is equipped with a light for illuminating the hand for the visually impaired.

【0002】[0002]

【従来の技術】[Prior art]

昔から「盲人に提燈」という諺があって、ライトは盲人には不必要として不必 要な物の代表の如く言われてきた。しかしこの諺は全盲の人には当て嵌まるが、 少しでも視力がある人には全く逆の誤った表現であって、視力が弱ければ弱いほ ど強力な光が必要である。ある強度の弱視者の話によると白昼は常人の2倍程度 の時間が掛かる距離に、太陽が沈んだ直後には5〜6倍の時間が掛かり、家の間 の小さい道の曲がり角などは見えないということである。この事から察するに夕 暮れ時はこの弱視者にとっては既に道路は暗闇であり、家はシルエットでしか見 えていないようである。 弱視者も杖をついて歩く人が多いが、上記の諺のためかライト付き杖は市販さ れていない。そのため弱視者はライト付き杖の出現を待望している。 尚、目は悪くはないが杖を使用している老人に対しても、ライト付き杖は便利 なものであろう。しかしライトを取り付ける場合にライトをどのように取り付け るかは弱視の程度や、その時の状況によって変わると思われる。 There has been a saying from the old days, "The lantern is for the blind," and Wright has been said to be a representative of things that are blind and unnecessary for blind people. But this proverb applies to people who are blind, but to those who have some eyesight it is the exact opposite erroneous expression: weaker eyesight requires less intense light. According to a person with low vision of a certain intensity, it takes about twice as long time as a normal person in the daytime and 5 to 6 times as long as the sun goes down, so that you can see small road turns between houses. It is not. From this it can be seen that at dusk the road is already dark and the house can only be seen in silhouette for this sighted person. Many people with low vision walk with a cane, but because of the above-mentioned proverb, a cane with a light is not on the market. For this reason, low vision people are longing for the appearance of a wand with a light. The wand with a light may be convenient even for an old man who uses a cane, although his eyes are not bad. However, when installing the light, it seems that how to install the light depends on the degree of amblyopia and the situation at that time.

【0003】[0003]

【考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problems to be solved by the device]

本考案は杖に弱視者が使用するに便利なようにライトを取り付ける事を目的と する。 The purpose of the present invention is to attach a light to the cane so that it is convenient for the visually impaired to use.

【0004】[0004]

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

本考案は立てパイプの上端に、握り部としてのパイプをT字型に且つ前端が上 下に傾斜するようにヒンジ式に取り付ける。握り部パイプは後端はねじキャップ で閉じ、その中に従来の乾電池2個使用した棒状の懐中電灯と同様構造のものを 、前端の内側向きフランジに押し付け挿入する。棒状電灯の両極は外部にも出し 、握り部パイプ内面に設けた接続端子に接触して固定される。接続端子からは握 り部パイプの下側面に取り付けられた入切スイッチに接続される。尚、棒状電灯 は取り出して単独に使用することもできる。また握り部パイプの傾斜はヒンジピ ンのねじの締め付け強さと摩擦力のバランスで、杖をついて歩きながら傾斜が変 えられ、且つその位置で固定されるように構成する。 In the present invention, a pipe serving as a grip is attached to the upper end of the stand pipe in a T-shape and hinged so that the front end is inclined upward and downward. The grip pipe is closed at the rear end with a screw cap, and the same structure as the conventional rod-shaped flashlight using two dry batteries is pressed into the flange facing inward at the front end. Both poles of the rod-shaped lamp are exposed to the outside, and are fixed by contacting the connection terminals provided on the inner surface of the grip portion pipe. From the connection terminal, it is connected to the on / off switch mounted on the lower side of the grip pipe. The rod-shaped lamp can be taken out and used alone. The inclination of the grip portion pipe is configured so that the inclination can be changed while walking with a cane depending on the balance between the tightening strength of the hinge pin screw and the frictional force, and it can be fixed at that position.

【0005】 次に杖の立てパイプ内に予備乾電池2個を直列に収納し、その両極を棒状電灯 の乾電池回路に直列に接続し、その予備乾電池回路を入れる切替用の第2のスイ ッチを握り部パイプの下面に設ける。Next, two spare dry batteries are stored in series in the stand pipe of the cane, both electrodes are connected in series to the dry battery circuit of the rod-shaped lamp, and the second switch for switching the spare dry battery circuit is inserted. Is provided on the lower surface of the grip portion pipe.

【0006】 更に杖の立てパイプ前面で下端から30cmを基準とするその上下20cm範 囲内に、穴を開けて下部照明の豆球を差し込み、杖の立てパイプ内を配線し、握 り部パイプの下面または立てパイプ上端部に第3の入切スイッチを設け、予備乾 電池に接続して点灯可能にする。[0006] Furthermore, a hole is made in the front of the cane stand pipe in the range of 20 cm above and below the lower end of the cane, and a miniature ball for lower illumination is inserted to wire the inside of the cane stand pipe and A third on / off switch is provided on the bottom surface or the top of the stand pipe to connect to a spare battery and enable lighting.

【0007】[0007]

【作用】[Action]

弱視の程度にも色々あり、従って杖の使用者が自己の位置から何m先を照らし たいかは使用者が決定できるような構造に棒状電灯を設置するものである。 次に強度の弱視者には3ボルトの光では不足する場合も有り得るため6ボルト に切り替えることもできる構造とした。 更に地盤の高低や段差などの存在は握り部のライトでは判然としない場合に、 、その位置や高さを更にはっきりさせるため低い位置から照らす光源を設けたも ので、強度の弱視者にとっては下部からの照明は必要且つ有難いものである。 There are various degrees of amblyopia, and therefore, a rod-shaped electric lamp is installed in a structure that allows the user to decide how many meters away from the user's position the cane user wants to illuminate. Next, the structure can be changed to 6V because there is a case where 3V light is insufficient for a person with low vision. In addition, if the presence or absence of heights or steps on the ground is not obvious from the light of the grip, a light source that illuminates from a lower position is provided to further clarify the position and height. Lighting from is necessary and appreciated.

【実施例】【Example】

図1は弱視者用杖の構造を示す中央断面側面図であり、図2はその全体図で、 図3はその配線図である。1は立てパイプで1a,1b,1cの組合わせよりな り、その上端にはヒンジ3を介して、握り部パイプ2がT字型で傾斜自在に且つ 任意の位置に停止するように取付けられ、棒状電灯4がその中に蓋5により前方 に押し付け封入され、受止め端子13と押さえバネ2aにより固定されている。 棒状電灯4内には主電池6として単3型2個が直列に装着されている。 FIG. 1 is a central cross-sectional side view showing the structure of a cane for low vision, FIG. 2 is its overall view, and FIG. 3 is its wiring diagram. Reference numeral 1 is a stand pipe, which is composed of a combination of 1a, 1b, and 1c, and a grip pipe 2 is attached to the upper end thereof via a hinge 3 so as to be tiltable in a T shape and to stop at an arbitrary position. A rod-shaped electric lamp 4 is pressed and enclosed in the front by a lid 5 and fixed by a receiving terminal 13 and a pressing spring 2a. In the rod-shaped lamp 4, two AA type batteries are installed in series as a main battery 6.

【0009】 立てパイプ1内の空洞上端には予備電池7として乾電池2個が電池筒8に+極 を上にして直列に挿入されて差し込まれ、電池筒8の上端フランジを立てパイプ 上端面と、ヒンジ3のキャップ10の内面により挾まれ支持されている。また立 てパイプ下端より30cm程度の上位置の前面に穴を設け、反射笠付き下部電灯 9の豆球を図1のように装着し、穴前面に透明板を貼着する。立てパイプの下端 にはゴムキャップ17を被せて路面との当たりを柔らかにするAt the upper end of the cavity in the stand pipe 1, two dry batteries as spare batteries 7 are inserted in series into the battery case 8 with the + pole facing upward, and the upper end flange of the battery case 8 is connected to the upper end surface of the stand pipe. The inner surface of the cap 10 of the hinge 3 is sandwiched and supported. In addition, a hole is provided in the front surface at a position about 30 cm above the lower end of the pipe, a miniature ball 9 with a reflector is attached as shown in FIG. 1, and a transparent plate is attached to the front surface of the hole. A rubber cap 17 is put on the lower end of the stand pipe to soften the contact with the road surface.

【0010】 握り部パイプ2内の棒状電灯4は取り出して単独に使用可能になっており、取 付け時はスイッチ11が切ってあるので、その主電池6を使用するためには両極 の引出し端子12を棒状電灯4ケースの外側に出し、その端子12に接触する握 り部パイプ内面に受止め端子13を設け、受止め端子13を握り部パイプ下面の 第1入切スイッチ14に接続して、握り部パイプ内の棒状電灯4を外部から点滅 させる。The rod-shaped electric lamp 4 in the grip portion pipe 2 can be taken out and used independently, and the switch 11 is turned off when the electric lamp 4 is attached. 12 is brought out of the case of the bar-shaped lamp 4 and a receiving terminal 13 is provided on the inner surface of the grip portion pipe that comes into contact with the terminal 12, and the receiving terminal 13 is connected to the first ON / OFF switch 14 on the lower surface of the grip portion pipe. , The rod-shaped lamp 4 in the grip pipe is flashed from the outside.

【0011】 次に予備電池7を棒状電灯4回路に直列に挿入するために、予備電池7の−側 を第1入切スイッチ14の−側に接続し、棒状電灯の−側で握り部パイプの受止 め端子13の外側に設けた第2の切り替えスイッチ15の−側に予備電池7の+ 側を接続する。第2の切り替えスイッチ15は図3に示すように棒状電灯4の− 側を、棒状電灯の+側か予備電池の+側かに切り替えるものである。予備電池7 の+と−の2本の配線はヒンジ3軸の中心穴を通過させるので、予備電池7取替 え時のねじの限られた回転角によって,ねじ切られるようなことはない。Next, in order to insert the spare battery 7 in series with the rod-shaped lamp 4 circuit, the minus side of the spare battery 7 is connected to the minus side of the first on / off switch 14, and the grip pipe is connected to the minus side of the rod-shaped lamp. The + side of the spare battery 7 is connected to the-side of the second changeover switch 15 provided outside the receiving terminal 13 of. As shown in FIG. 3, the second change-over switch 15 switches the − side of the rod-shaped electric lamp 4 to the + side of the rod-shaped electric lamp or the + side of the spare battery. Since the two wires + and-of the spare battery 7 pass through the central hole of the hinge 3 axis, they will not be twisted by the limited rotation angle of the screw when the spare battery 7 is replaced.

【0012】 更に下部電灯9点滅のために、図1の如く立てパイプ1の上端部に設けた第3 の入切スイッチ16を介して、予備電池7の両極と下部電灯9の両極を接続する 。この配線により棒状電灯4を点灯したまま、握り部2から指を伸ばして第3の 入切スイッチ16を操作し、下部電灯9を点滅することができる。Further, in order to blink the lower electric lamp 9, both poles of the spare battery 7 and both electric poles of the lower electric lamp 9 are connected via the third on / off switch 16 provided at the upper end of the stand pipe 1 as shown in FIG. . With this wiring, the lower electric lamp 9 can be blinked by extending the finger from the grip portion 2 and operating the third ON / OFF switch 16 while the rod-shaped electric lamp 4 is lit.
