Illuminating caution light apparatus that combines a nightstick, a flashlight, and a baton

Abstract

An illuminating caution light apparatus that combines a nightstick, a flashlight, and a baton, is constituted by a handle. The handle contains a circuit control board, an illuminating component, and a battery chamber therein. A light-guiding member, consists of a plurality of strings of optical fiber, and an end part of with an end seat is located at a front end of the handle and is provided with an LED illuminating component capable of guiding a light onto the strings of optical fiber to serve as an illuminating baton. The flashlight illuminating member includes a lamp holder located inside a connection ring and locked at a rear end of the handle. The baton can be latched at a center of top end of an illuminating foot stand to form into a tripod of caution light that illuminates when a vehicle is malfunctioning.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (a) Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an illuminating caution light apparatus that combines a nightstick, a flashlight, and a baton, and more particularly to a transparent rod that can direct a bright and uniform light, that is provided with a robust structure to serve as a defensive nightstick, that is provided with an illuminating member at a bottom end thereof to serve as a flashlight for illuminating, and that can be formed into a stand of emergency caution light to illuminate for warning, upon being assembled with a tripod which is put upright. [0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art [0004] A baton is very commonly used in a current living environment; it is needed when a policeman is on duty, or a guard or an engineer is conducting traffic, and is especially a necessary apparatus in a night not having a good vision. However, there are a variety of batons in the market, mostly with a design including a handle, an i...

Benefits of technology

[0007] Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide an illuminating caution light apparatus that combines a nightstick, a flashlight, and a baton, which is provided with a robust rod structure, is able to sustain with an impact from external force without being easily damaged, and is provided with an illuminating structure at a rear end thereof, so as to have a dual function of both serving as a nightstick and a flashlight.

[0009] Accordingly, the present invention is primarily composed of a handle, an interior of which is installed with an inner sleeve having a circuit control board, and an outer edge of which is installed with two control buttons. An illuminating component and a battery chamber are located at two ends of the inner sleeve respectively, a conductive spring is located inside the battery chamber, and the illuminating component and the conductive spring are electronically connected to the circuit control board. Two longitudinal slots in an opposite direction are installed at two sides of an outer rim of the inner sleeve, and are respectively provided with a spring switch and a power cord which are connected to the circuit control board. A battery seat is installed inside the battery chamber to provide a power source. A light-guiding member is a transparent cylinder, an interior of which is emplaced with a plurality of strings of optical fiber, and an end of which is sheathed with an end seat and a plurality of O-rings, and is sheathed to an engaging member and locked to a front end of the handle. An illuminating member includes a lamp holder which is located inside a connection ring, is provided with a conductive plate at a bottom thereof and a sheath ring at an end thereof, and is locked to a lamp shade having a lens, with the other end thereof being locked at an rear end of the handle, such that contact points on the conductive plate can be connected to the battery seat and the spring switch, thereby enabling the baton to have a robust rod structure and an illuminating equipment to achieve a dual effect of serving as a nightstick and a flashlight. In the mean time, the illuminating baton of present invention can be latched and assembled with a foot stand, enabling the entire structure to become a caution light which can illuminate in an emergency condition.

Problems solved by technology

However, as the hollow light pipe is installed with many illuminating components, the power consumed in usage will be larger; therefore, a frequent replacement of the batteries is required.

Moreover, as a large quantity of illuminating components, such as the LED lights or the lamp bulbs, is used, a probability of failure is increased correspondingly, which results in a more frequent replacement and an increase of maintenance cost.

As it cannot sustain with an impact of external force, the outer shell can be frequently ruptured and damaged due to an unexpected collision.

Therefore, the baton cannot certainly serve as a defensive nightstick.

On the other hand, when a controlling staff is on duty at night, he or she may often need to inspect an identification of specific person; however, as all the conventional batons cannot provide a sufficient illumination for this purpose, the controlling staff will need to carry another flashlight to provide the illumination, which will cause an inconvenience in performing the duty.

On the other hand, the conventional caution sign for vehicle malfunctioning, can be only identified from a front side without being able to be easily aware of within a 360-degree of viewing angle, and cannot either illuminate actively, except to use a reflection effect resulting from an illumination of a coming vehicle, which is not perfect.
