Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a disaster prevention device such as a disaster prevention equipment storage box or a fire hydrant device that is equipped with a position indicator light and an audio hole, or further equipped with a transmitter, and that can be operated in the event of a fire or the like to notify of the occurrence of an abnormality. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a disaster prevention equipment housing box is provided with a transmitter and an indicator light (in this case, a position indicator light), and further provided with an acoustic hole corresponding to a built-in bell or buzzer.

[0003] The location indicator light is a red indicator light that is always lit to indicate the location of the disaster prevention equipment storage box, allowing people in the vicinity to recognize the location of the transmitter in the event of an emergency. The transmitter turns on the push button switch by pressing the protective plate located on the transmitter cover, and sends a fire notification signal to the receiver to sound an alarm. When the receiver receives a fire notification signal from the transmitter and outputs a fire alarm, it sends a district acoustic signal to the disaster prevention equipment storage box that sent the fire notification signal, which causes the bell or buzzer on the disaster prevention equipment storage box to sound a fire alarm.

[0004] Conventional disaster prevention equipment storage boxes are equipped with a transmitter, a position indicator light, and an audio hole, but in order to reduce the installation space required for these and make the disaster prevention equipment storage box smaller, a proposal has been made to integrate the position indicator light and the transmitter. The integration of the position indicator light and the transmitter is achieved by arranging the position indicator light using a flat light-emitting member with multiple LEDs distributed around the periphery of the transmitter to emit light from a surface.

[0005] Furthermore, a fire hydrant device is also known as a disaster prevention device equipped with a transmitter, a position indicator light, and an audio hole. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

Jpn. Published No. 42-014357 [Patent Document 9] International Publication No. 2018 / 198642 [Patent Document 10] JP 2007-229108 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, in such disaster prevention devices that integrate a transmitter and a position indicator light, the transmitter functions as the operation unit, and the position indicator light and the sound hole function as the alarm unit, but since the operation unit and the alarm unit are not separated, there is a possibility that the operator will become confused.

[0008] Furthermore, integrating a position indicator light with a transmitter requires the position indicator light to be arranged so as to surround the transmitter, which means that the shape of the position indicator light is restricted to a circular shape, resulting in low freedom of freedom in improving the design of the position indicator light.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide a disaster prevention device that can be made smaller by reducing the installation space by concentrating the stored equipment, while improving operability and design. [Means for solving the problem]

Effect of the Invention

[0028] (First invention: Effect of centralized arrangement of indicator lights and sound holes for disaster prevention devices) The present invention is a disaster prevention device characterized in that the indicator light and the acoustic hole area are arranged in one place, for example, an opening and / or a notch is provided in the indicator light, and an acoustic hole is provided in at least one of the openings and / or the notch, so that the arrangement of the indicator light functioning as the notification unit and the acoustic hole area can be consolidated to reduce the installation space and make the disaster prevention device smaller, while reliably avoiding the confusion of the operator that occurs when the transmitter functioning as the operation unit and the indicator light functioning as the notification unit are integrated as in the conventional case. In addition, even if the arrangement of the acoustic hole area and the indicator light is consolidated, the arrangement and shape of the indicator light are not restricted by the arrangement of the acoustic hole area, and the degree of freedom in the arrangement and shape of the indicator light is high, and the design can be improved.

[0029] (Second invention: Effect of centralized arrangement of indicator lights, sound holes and transmitters of disaster prevention devices) Another form of the present invention is a disaster prevention device characterized in that a transmitter, indicator light, and acoustic hole area are all concentrated in one location.For example, the indicator light is arranged to surround the transmitter, and an acoustic hole area is provided in at least one of the gap between the transmitter and the indicator light, the opening of the indicator light, and the cut-out portion of the indicator light.Therefore, the indicator light, acoustic hole, and transmitter can be concentrated in position, further reducing the installation space and making the disaster prevention device even smaller.

[0030] (Effect of flat indicator light structure) In addition, the indicator lamp has a substantially flat indicator frame that is aligned with the exposed surface of the disaster prevention device, the indicator frame is a diffusive light-transmitting member, and a light source that illuminates the diffusive light-transmitting member is provided behind the indicator frame. The display portion is a generally flat display frame that conforms to the exposed surface of the disaster prevention device, making it easy to form a variety of display patterns that improve visibility from the front and sides.

[0031] (Effect of the display frame shape) In addition, the display frame of the indicator light is formed in a frame-like, lattice-like, ring-like or divided ring-like shape, allowing for a variety of shapes while ensuring visibility from the front and sides, thereby enhancing design.

[0032] (Effect of integrating the indicator light and sound hole) Furthermore, since the indicator light is provided with an acoustic hole, it is not necessary to process and form an acoustic hole in the cover plate of the disaster prevention device, and the structure can be simplified accordingly.

[0033] (Third invention: Effect of the acoustic path functioning as an acoustic hole) Another form of the present invention is a disaster prevention device in which an acoustic path that functions as an acoustic hole is provided behind the indicator light and / or the indicator light, so that sound can be output and diffused efficiently by forming the acoustic path.Furthermore, if the acoustic path is provided only behind the indicator light, the acoustic path is hidden by the indicator light and cannot be seen from the front, which provides a new design and improves the design.

[0034] (Fourth Invention: Effect of Acoustic Horn) Another form of the present invention is a disaster prevention device that notifies specified information by display and sound, in which an acoustic horn is formed in the indicator light and the specified information is output by sound via the acoustic horn, so that the sound from the acoustic device can be efficiently output and diffused to the outside, and the formation of the acoustic horn can greatly improve the design.

[0035] (Effect of the fifth aspect of the invention) Another form of the present invention is a disaster prevention device in which an indicator light and an acoustic hole area are concentrated in one location in a storage case, and the indicator light has a display surface on the front and side of the storage case, thereby making it possible to miniaturize the disaster prevention device while reliably avoiding the confusion that occurs to the operator when, as in the past, a transmitter that functions as an operating unit and an indicator light that functions as an alarm unit are integrated together, and when the disaster prevention device is installed on a wall surface or the like, visibility from the front is maintained while visibility from the side is improved, and the design can also be improved.

[0036] (Effect of the arrangement of the indicator light and the sound hole area) In addition, since the display surface of the indicator light is provided in a position that surrounds part or all of the periphery of the acoustic hole area or that sandwiches it from above, below, and / or below, left and right, a variety of shapes and arrangements of the display surface can be made, and when the disaster prevention device is installed on a wall or the like, visibility of the indicator light from the front and sides is ensured, there is a high degree of freedom in the arrangement and shape of the display surface, and design can be improved.

[0037] (Effect of display surface of indicator light with acoustic hole area) Furthermore, since an acoustic hole area is provided on the front surface of the display frame of the indicator light, the shape and arrangement of the display frame are no longer restricted by the acoustic hole area, and the degree of freedom regarding the shape and arrangement of the display frame can be increased.

[0038] (Effect of overlapping the indicator light area and the sound hole area) In addition, in the first, second and fifth inventions, the display surface of the indicator light and the acoustic hole area are arranged so that they at least partially overlap each other, thereby alleviating constraints such as space for arranging the indicator light and acoustic hole on the front of the device, and improving design freedom.

[0039] (Effect of the sixth aspect of the invention) Another form of the present invention is a disaster prevention device in which a transmitter, indicator light, and sound hole area are concentrated in one location on the front of the storage case, and the indicator light has display surfaces on the front and side of the storage case, thereby making it possible to further miniaturize the disaster prevention device, and when the disaster prevention device is installed on a wall surface or the like, visibility from the front is ensured while visibility from the side is improved, and the design can also be improved.

[0040] (Effect of the placement of indicator lights and transmitters with acoustic holes) In addition, the display surface of the indicator light is located at a position that surrounds the transmitter, a position that surrounds part or all of the transmitter, or a position that sandwiches the transmitter from above, below, and / or below, and / or from the left and right, and an acoustic hole is provided on at least the front display surface of the indicator light, so that the display frame is not restricted by the position of the acoustic hole area, and the freedom regarding the shape and position of the display frame can be increased.

[0041] (Effect of the separate structure of the push button switch and the transmitter body) In addition, the transmitters of the second and sixth inventions are separated into the transmitter body, a push button switch with a protective plate, and a maintenance door, and the push button switch and maintenance door are provided on the front of the storage case, while the transmitter body is provided within the storage case.Since only the push button switch with a protective cover for the transmitter and the maintenance door are provided on the front of the storage case, the freedom of arrangement of the indicator light and sound hole area is greatly improved, and the size of the storage case can be significantly reduced compared to when the transmitter is directly provided on the front of the storage case, making the entire disaster prevention device even more compact.

[0042] (Effect of the relationship between the indicator light and the storage case) In addition, since the display surface of the indicator light is made flush with the front surface of the storage case or the front surface and side surfaces of the storage case, the display surface of the indicator light is approximately flat along the front surface or the front surface and side surfaces of the storage case, improving the design. Also, by reducing the protrusion of the indicator light from the surface of the storage case, the display can be made thinner, and various display patterns that improve visibility from the front and sides can be easily formed.

[0043] (Effect of the relationship between the transmitter and the storage case) In addition, the exposed height of the top of the exposed parts of the transmitter (maintenance door, push button) is set to be lower than the exposed height of the display surface on the front side of the display surface, which reduces the protrusion of the transmitter operating part from the surface of the storage case, preventing erroneous operation due to contact with people or objects, etc., and is expected to improve the design, etc.

[0044] (7th invention: Overlap of sound hole area, transmitter placement area and indicator light) Another form of the present invention is a disaster prevention device in which the acoustic hole area, transmitter placement area and indicator light are arranged so that their placement positions at least partially overlap in the up-down or left-right directions (vertical or horizontal) when installed, thereby relaxing constraints such as the space for placing the acoustic hole, transmitter and indicator light, and improving design freedom.

[0045] In addition, for example, the indicator light has a display surface on at least one of the left and right side surfaces of the storage case when installed, and the indicator light is provided with an acoustic hole on at least one of the left and right side surfaces and / or the top and bottom surfaces of the storage case when installed, thereby ensuring and improving visibility from the side, above, and below.

[0047] As an embodiment of the disaster prevention device of the present invention, a disaster prevention equipment storage box having an indicator light for indicating the location of the device as the predetermined display notification information, a sound hole for outputting a fire alarm sound as the predetermined sound notification information, and a transmitter for outputting a fire notification signal by operating a switch will be described as an example. The disaster prevention equipment storage box is also simply called an equipment storage box.

[0048] [Basic Concept of the First Invention] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a first embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which position indicator lights and sound holes are concentrated in one place as an example of a disaster prevention device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the exploded structure of the disaster prevention equipment storage box, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the position indicator lights removed from the back.

[0049] The basic concept of this embodiment is a disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 in which an opening 14a and / or a notch is provided in a position indicator light 14, and an acoustic hole 16 is provided in at least a part of at least one of the openings 14a and / or the notch. By consolidating the position indicator light 14 and the acoustic hole 16, which function as an alarm unit, in one place, the installation space is reduced, making the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 smaller, and by separating the transmitter 12, which is the operating unit, from the position indicator light 14 and acoustic hole 16, which are the alarm unit, to prevent user confusion.

[0050] Furthermore, even if the acoustic holes 16 and the position indicator lights 14 are arranged together in one place, the arrangement and shape of the position indicator lights 14 are not restricted by the arrangement of the acoustic holes 16, and the arrangement and shape of the position indicator lights 14 have a high degree of freedom, thereby improving the design.

[0051] In another embodiment of the present invention, position indicator lights are provided surrounding the transmitter, and an acoustic hole is provided in at least one of the gap between the transmitter and the position indicator light, the opening of the position indicator light, and the cutout of the position indicator light.In addition to achieving the same improved operability and design as the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 shown in Figure 1, the installation space is further reduced by arranging the position indicator light, acoustic hole, and transmitter in one place, making it possible to make the disaster prevention equipment storage box even smaller.

[0052] In this case, the operation unit and the notification unit are arranged together in one place, so that the user will not be confused as to which is the operation unit and which is the notification unit when operating the device.

[0053] [First embodiment of disaster prevention equipment storage box: First invention] (Outline of disaster prevention equipment storage box) 1(A), in the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 of the first embodiment, a transmitter 12 is disposed on the underside of the exposed surface of a cover plate 10a that is exposed when the box is installed on a wall or the like, and acoustic holes 16 and position indicator lights 14 are disposed above the transmitter 12. The opening shape, size, number, and arrangement of each acoustic hole 16 are appropriately selected and adjusted in consideration of sound output performance, diffusion performance, design, etc.

[0054] The transmitter 12 is provided at its center with a protective plate 18 made of a transparent acrylic plate or the like for turning on a built-in push button switch 20, and a maintenance door 22 with a telephone jack disposed inside.

[0055] The position indicator light 14 has a rectangular picture frame 28a, an opening 14a is formed inside the picture frame 28a, and a plurality of acoustic holes 16 are formed on the plate surface located at the opening 14a, so that the position indicator light 14 and the acoustic holes 16 are arranged in one place. Note that, as shown in Fig. 1(B), the acoustic holes 16 may be arranged on the outside of the picture frame 28a.

[0056] 1(B), by disposing unit 15 having position indicator light 14 and acoustic hole 16 on cover plate 10a, the area where acoustic hole 16 is disposed (acoustic hole area 16a shown by imaginary lines) and the display surface of position indicator light 14 (the front surface of picture frame 28a in this case) overlap with each other. Here, the center of the acoustic hole area and the center of picture frame 28a (the center of opening 14a) may be offset so that part of the display surface overlaps with the acoustic hole area in front view.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 2, the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is configured as a storage case with a cover plate 10a and a box-shaped main body 10b. An acoustic device 24 such as a buzzer or bell is disposed in a position opposite to the rear of the position indicator light 14 attached to the cover plate 10a within the main body 10b. When the acoustic device 24 is sounded by a local acoustic signal from the receiver, the fire alarm sound is output from the acoustic hole 16 disposed in the rectangular opening 14a within the picture frame 28a of the position indicator light 14 shown in FIG. 1.

[0058] As shown in Fig. 3, the position indicator light 14 is closed by disposing a sealing portion 36 in the opening 14a of the picture frame 28a, and the sealing portion 36 is provided with the multiple sound holes 16 shown in Fig. 1. A cylindrical mounting portion 38 extends from the rear of the sealing portion 36, and the position indicator light 14 can be attached to the cover plate 10a by fitting the cylindrical mounting portion 38 into the mounting hole of the cover plate 10a shown in Fig. 2.

[0059] In addition, the cylindrical mounting portion 38 is located in front of the acoustic device 24 arranged on the main body 10b, and also functions as an acoustic introduction case that introduces the fire alarm sound generated by the activation of the acoustic device 24 and outputs it forward from the acoustic hole 16.

[0060] (Structure of Position Indicator Light) Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the acoustic hole and the position indicator light in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 4, the position indicator light 14 has an annular indicator light case 26 that has a U-shaped cross section and is open to the front. An LED storage section 30 is formed inside the indicator light case 26, and a frame-shaped circuit board 34, for example, is arranged on the bottom side, and LEDs 32 that function as a light source are arranged at predetermined intervals on the circuit board 34.

[0061] A rectangular picture frame 28a is disposed at the front opening of the indicator light case 26. The picture frame 28a uses a diffuse translucent material that emits red light. The diffuse translucent material is a material that receives light from a point light source such as the LED 32 and converts it into surface light emission. Light from the backlighting of the LEDs 32 arranged at predetermined intervals in a ring shape on the circuit board 34 is incident on the picture frame 28a using the diffuse translucent material, and the entire display surface of the picture frame 28a is made into a display area (light-emitting area) and emits a substantially uniform red light.

[0062] The display surface of the frame 28a is formed as an inclined display surface with the inner periphery side protruding slightly forward from the outer periphery side, and this inclined display surface improves the visibility of the position indicator lamp 14 when viewed from the side. Note that a curved display surface may be used instead of an inclined display surface.

[0063] A rectangular opening 14a is formed on the inside of the indicator light case 26 of the position indicator light 14, and the opening 14a is closed by fitting a sealing part 36. The sealing part 36 is a box-shaped member with a sealing surface 36a on the front, and as shown in Fig. 1, a plurality of acoustic holes 16 are formed in the sealing surface 36a in an acoustic hole area 16a (an area surrounded by a two-dot chain line in the figure), and a cylindrical mounting part 38 extends from the rear of the sealing part 36. The cylindrical mounting part 38 is fitted into a mounting hole 35 formed in the cover plate 10a, so that the position indicator light 14 can be attached and fixed to the cover plate 10a.

[0064] In addition, the rear opening of the cylindrical mounting portion 38 faces the acoustic device 24 arranged on the main body 10b shown in Figure 2, and functions as an acoustic introduction case that introduces the fire alarm sound from the acoustic device 24 into the inside of the sealing member 36 and outputs it to the outside from the acoustic hole 16 formed in the sealing surface 36a.

[0065] The mounting structure of the position indicator lamp 14 to the cover plate 10a is not limited to that shown in FIG. 4, and any suitable mounting structure may be used.

[0066] In this way, in the first embodiment, by forming an acoustic hole 16 in the rectangular opening 14a located inside the frame 28a of the position indicator light 14, the position indicator light 14 and the acoustic hole 16 are arranged together in one place.

[0081] In this embodiment, a position indicator light 14 consisting of four annular display frames 28g divided into four parts on the left, right, top and bottom to surround the transmitter 12 is provided on the cover plate 10a of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10, and acoustic holes 16 are provided in each of the gaps 14b between the transmitter 12 and the position indicator light 14, which form the acoustic hole area 16a surrounded by imaginary lines, and in the cutout portions 14c of the position indicator light 14.

[0082] According to this embodiment, in addition to the same improved operability and design as in the first embodiment, the installation space is further reduced by concentrating the transmitter 12, the position indicator light 14, and the sound hole 16 in one location, making it possible to make the disaster prevention equipment storage box even smaller.

[0083] The display frame of the position indicator lamp 14 in this embodiment may be in the annular shape shown in FIG.

[0084] [Fire hydrant equipment] FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a fire hydrant device in which a position indicator light and a sound hole are arranged in one place.

[0085] As shown in Figure 12, the fire hydrant device 50 of this embodiment has a fire hydrant door 54 that can be opened and closed freely on the front of a metal storage box 52, and a reporting panel 56 is provided above the fire hydrant door 54. The report panel 56 has a cover plate 10a on which a transmitter 12 is provided, and the sound hole 16 and the position indicator light 14 are arranged in one place. A hose with a nozzle is stored inside the fire hydrant door 54.

[0087] In this embodiment as well, the position indicator light 14 and the sound hole 16, which function as the alarm unit, are installed together in one place, thereby reducing the installation space required for the reporting panel 56 provided on the fire hydrant box 50, and the transmitter 12, which is the operating unit, is separated from the position indicator light 14 and the sound hole 16, which are the alarm unit, to prevent confusion among users.

[0088] Furthermore, even if the acoustic holes 16 and the position indicator lights 14 are arranged together in one place, the arrangement and shape of the position indicator lights 14 are not restricted by the arrangement of the acoustic holes 16, and the arrangement and shape of the position indicator lights 14 have a high degree of freedom, thereby improving the design.

[0089] Furthermore, by making the outer edge of the position indicator light 14 into a rectangular ring shape by the frame 28a, a clear outline is given to the acoustic hole arrangement portion where the acoustic holes 16 are arranged, thereby enhancing the design.

[0090] The notification panel 56 in FIG. 12 may be provided with the same position indicator lamp 14 as that provided on the disaster prevention equipment housing box 10 in FIG.

[0091] FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a fire hydrant device in which a transmitter, a position indicator light, and a sound hole are all arranged in one place.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 13, the fire hydrant device 50 of this embodiment has a transmitter 12, a position indicator light 14, and a sound hole 16 all concentrated in one location on the cover plate 10a of the notification panel 56 provided on the top of the fire hydrant door 54.

[0093] The position indicator light 14 is the same as the position indicator light 14 provided in the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 in Figure 11, and the position indicator light 14 consisting of a divided annular display frame 28g divided into four parts on the left, right, top and bottom so as to surround the transmitter 12 is provided on the reporting panel 56, and acoustic holes 16 are provided in the gap between the transmitter 12 and the position indicator light 14, the opening of the position indicator light 14, and the cutout portion of the position indicator light 14.

[0094] According to this embodiment, in addition to the same improvements in operability and design as in FIG. 12, the installation space can be further reduced by arranging the transmitter 12, the position indicator lamp 14, and the sound hole 16 in one place.

[0095] [An embodiment in which position indicators and sound holes are centrally located on the cover plate] FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment housing box in which position indicator lights and sound holes are arranged in a concentrated manner on the cover plate.

[0096] As shown in Fig. 14, in this embodiment, for the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 in Fig. 2, an acoustic hole 16 is provided in the cover plate 10a, and the position indicator light 14 equipped with the picture frame 28a and LED 32 shown in Fig. 1 is arranged on the surface of the cover plate 10a so as to surround the acoustic hole 16 and be positioned at the inner opening. This structure simplifies the structure in which the position indicator light 14 and the acoustic hole 16 are centrally arranged in one place. Of course, the same can be applied to the case of a fire hydrant device.

[0097] [Embodiment of disaster prevention equipment storage box with sound hole in position indicator light] Figure 15 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which an acoustic hole is provided in a position indicator light, Figure 16 is an explanatory diagram showing the position indicator light in Figure 15 and its internal structure, and Figure 17 is an explanatory diagram showing the front and top cross section of the position indicator light in Figure 15.

[0098] As shown in Figure 15, in this embodiment, the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 has a transmitter 12 arranged on the underside of the exposed surface of the cover plate 10a, and a circular position indicator light 14 arranged above it, with an acoustic hole 16 provided in the position indicator light 14.

[0099] As shown in Figures 16(A) and 17(A), the circular display frame 28h of the position indicator light 14 has acoustic holes 16 arranged in a double annular configuration in the acoustic hole area 16a, and as shown by dotted lines in Figures 15 and 17(A), LEDs 32 are provided inside the circular display frame 28h, and the LEDs 32 are provided in a double annular configuration at the center and outside of the position indicator light 14. Also, a mounting cylinder 38 is provided behind the circular display frame 28h, allowing it to be fitted and fixed from the front into the mounting hole 35 of the cover plate 10a.

[0100] The internal structure of the position indicator light 14 is shown in Figures 16(B) and 17(B), where Figure 17(B) is a plan cross-sectional view of the position indicator light 14 taken along the line XX in Figure 16(B).

[0101] As shown in Figures 16(B) and 17(B), the circular display frame 28h is made of a red diffusive light-transmitting material, with the cylindrical mounting portion 38 formed integrally at the back, and an outer circumferential rib 60 that extends to the cylindrical mounting portion 38 toward the rear side is connected to annular ribs 62a, 62b, 62c that are concentrically arranged on the inside of the outer circumferential rib 60, and LED storage portions 64a, 64b, 64c are formed between the outer circumferential rib 60 and the annular ribs 62a, 62b and in the center.

[0102] Each of the annular ribs 62a, 62b has a plurality of acoustic holes formed therethrough. A circular circuit board 34 is disposed at the bottom of the cylindrical mounting portion 38 behind the circular display frame 28h, and an opening hole 34a is formed at a position corresponding to the acoustic hole 16 of the circuit board 34, which communicates with the acoustic hole 16 and penetrates the inside, so that sound from the acoustic device 24 disposed on the main body 10b is output to the outside through the acoustic hole 16 of the position indicator light 14. The acoustic device 24 may be directly attached to the cylindrical mounting portion 38.

[0103] 17(B), a plurality of LEDs 32 are arranged on the circuit board 34 so as to correspond to the concentrically arranged LED storage sections 64a, 64b, and 64c. For example, one LED 32 is arranged in the central LED storage section 64c, and eight LEDs are arranged at 45° intervals in each of the outer concentric LED storage sections 64b and 64a.

[0104] By driving the multiple LEDs 32 arranged on the circuit board 34 to emit light in this manner, the light from the LEDs 32 enters the circular display frame 28h made of a diffusive translucent material, causing the entire surface of the position indicator light 14 to emit a substantially uniform red light.

[0105] In this embodiment, by providing an acoustic hole 16 in the position indicator light 14, in addition to improving operability and design in the same way as in the first embodiment, it is not necessary to process and form an acoustic hole in the cover plate 10a of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0106] The arrangement of the sound holes 16 and the LEDs 32 relative to the circular display frame 28h of the position indicator light 14 is one example, and is not limited to this. For example, the sound holes 16 and the LEDs 32 may be arranged alternately in a radial pattern.

[0107] 1 and 5 to 10 may have a structure in which the display frame provided in each embodiment is provided with a sound hole 16. This embodiment may also be provided in a fire hydrant device 50 as shown in Figs. 12 and 13.

[0108] [An embodiment in which the transmitter, position indicator light, and sound hole of the disaster prevention equipment storage box are centrally arranged] FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the disaster prevention equipment housing box in which a transmitter, a position indicator lamp, and a sound hole are arranged in one place.

[0109] As shown in Figure 18, in this embodiment, a position indicator light 14 consisting of two split annular display frames 28i divided at two points on the left and right sides to surround the transmitter 12 is provided on the cover plate 10a of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10, and a plurality of acoustic holes 16 are provided on the outer and inner sides of the split annular display frame 28i of the position indicator light 14.

[0110] According to this embodiment, in addition to the same improved operability and design as in the first embodiment, the installation space is further reduced by concentrating the transmitter 12, position indicator light 14, and acoustic hole 16 in one location, and it is no longer necessary to process and form an acoustic hole in the cover plate 10a of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0111] Of course, the shape of the display frame with the sound hole 16 of the position indicator light 14 in this embodiment can also be provided in the position indicator light 14 in Fig. 11, as in Fig. 18. The shape of the display frame of the position indicator light 14 can be applied to other embodiments and other cases. This embodiment may also be provided in a fire hydrant device 50 as shown in Fig. 13.

[0112] [Embodiment of disaster prevention equipment storage box with sound hole in position indicator light] Figure 19 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which an acoustic hole is provided in a position indicator light, and Figure 20 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross-section of the position indicator light in Figure 19, with Figure 20(A) showing the AA cross-section and Figure 20(B) showing the BB cross-section.

[0113] As shown in Figure 19, in this embodiment, the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 has a transmitter 12 arranged on the underside of the exposed surface of the cover plate 10a, and a rectangular position indicator light 14 arranged above it, with an acoustic hole 16 (indicator light side acoustic hole) provided in the position indicator light 14.

[0114] 19 and 20(A), the rectangular display frame 28j of the position indicator light 14 has, for example, three sound holes 16 opening in a cone shape on the front side in a 3-row by 3-column arrangement, and sound holes 16a (cover plate side sound holes) are provided at positions corresponding to the sound holes 16 of the cover plate 10a, so that sound from the acoustic device 24 arranged on the main body 10b is output to the outside through the sound holes 16a of the cover plate 10a and the sound holes 16 of the position indicator light 14. That is, in this case, the sound holes 16 (indicator light side sound holes) also correspond to an opening.

[0115] 19, LEDs 32 are provided behind rectangular display frame 28j, for example, in two rows and two columns, positioned between acoustic holes 16. As shown in FIG. 20(B), light-transmitting holes 70 are provided in cover plate 10a located on the rear surface of rectangular display frame 28j, circuit board 34 is disposed on the rear surface of cover plate 10a, and LEDs 32 are disposed on circuit board 34 at positions corresponding to light-transmitting holes 70 of cover plate 10a. By driving LEDs 32 to emit light, light from LEDs 32 enters rectangular display frame 28j using a light-diffusing transparent member through light-transmitting holes 70, causing the entire surface of position indicator light 14 to emit a substantially uniform red light.

[0116] In this embodiment, by providing an acoustic hole that communicates with the position indicator light 14 and the cover plate 10a, in addition to improving operability and design in the same way as in the first embodiment, it is possible to simplify the structure by concentrating the position indicator light 14 and the acoustic hole 16 in one location.

[0117] The center of the rectangular display frame 28j and the arrangement area of ​​the cover plate side acoustic hole may be offset, for example, vertically. In this case, the cover plate side acoustic hole and the indicator light side acoustic hole may be provided in corresponding positions. In this case, the display surface and the acoustic hole area partially overlap when viewed from the front.

[0118] Further, the arrangement of the sound hole 16 and the LED 32 relative to the display surface of the rectangular display frame 28j of the position indicator lamp 14 in this embodiment is merely an example, and is not limited to this, and may be any suitable arrangement.

[0119] Also, in the embodiments of Figures 1, 5 to 10, the position indicator light 14 and the sound hole 16 provided in each embodiment may be provided in the cover plate 10a. Also, this embodiment may be provided in a fire hydrant device 50 as shown in Figures 12 and 13. Furthermore, the configurations of Figures 19 and 20 may be combined with the configurations of other embodiments.

[0120] [Embodiment of disaster prevention equipment storage box with acoustic path formed in position indicator light: 3rd invention] FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment housing box in which an acoustic path is formed in a position indicator light, and FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross section of the position indicator light in FIG.

[0121] As shown in FIG. 21, in the disaster prevention equipment housing box 10 of this embodiment, a transmitter 12 is disposed below the exposed surface of a cover plate 10a, and a rectangular position indicator light 14 is disposed above the transmitter 12.

[0122] 22, the rectangular display frame 28k of the position indicator 14 has a protrusion 77 that has a rectangular cross section and extends like a pyramid behind the rectangular frame on the front side, and is fixed to the front side of the cover plate 10a by screws 62 via spacers 78 so that the protrusion 77 is located in a mounting hole 75 formed in the cover plate 10a with a gap between it and the front side (exposed surface) of the cover plate 10a, thereby forming an acoustic path 72 between the cover plate 10a and the rectangular display frame 28k, which runs from the gap in the mounting hole 75 to the outside. The acoustic path 72 achieves the same function as forming an acoustic hole.

[0123] Therefore, sound from the acoustic device 24 disposed on the main body 10b passes through the gap of the mounting hole 75, through the acoustic path 72 formed behind the rectangular display frame 28k, and is output to the outside via the path indicated by the arrow .

[0124] In addition, an LED storage section 74 is formed in a protrusion 77 formed behind the rectangular display frame 28k, and an LED 32 mounted on the circuit board 34 is provided in the protrusion 77. By driving the LED 32 to emit light, the light from the LED 32 enters the rectangular display frame 28k which uses a diffusive translucent material, causing the entire surface of the position indicator light 14 to emit a substantially uniform red light.

[0125] In this manner, in this embodiment, by forming the acoustic path 72 behind the position indicator light 14, a sound passage equivalent to forming a plurality of acoustic holes is secured, and sound can be output efficiently. Also, the acoustic path 72 is hidden by the position indicator light 14 and cannot be seen, which provides a new design for the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 without acoustic holes, and makes it possible to greatly improve the design.

[0126] In order to adjust the sound output performance and diffusion performance, an acoustic hole may be provided in the rectangular display frame 28k of the position indicator light 14. Furthermore, similar to the embodiment of FIG. 1(B), an acoustic hole may be provided in the cover plate 10a outside the display frame.

[0127] The arrangement of the acoustic path 72 and the LED 32 formed behind the position indicator light 14 in this embodiment is one example, and is not limited to this, and may be any suitable arrangement. This embodiment may also be provided in a fire hydrant device 50 as shown in Figures 12 and 13. The display frame may be other than rectangular, for example, circular. Of course, the protrusion may also be other shapes.

[0128] [Embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box with an acoustic horn formed on a position indicator light: Fourth invention] FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment housing box in which an acoustic horn is formed on a position indicator light, and FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram showing a central cross section of the position indicator light in FIG.

[0129] As shown in Figure 23, in the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 of this embodiment, a transmitter 12 is arranged on the underside of the exposed surface of the cover plate 10a, and a rectangular position indicator light 14 is arranged above that. A rectangular acoustic hole 16 is formed in the center of the position indicator light 14, and an acoustic horn 80 that opens in a cone shape is formed around the acoustic hole 16.

[0130] 24, the rectangular display frame 28m of the position indicator light 14 has a rectangular acoustic hole 16 penetrating the center of a protrusion 82 with a rectangular cross section formed at the rear center, and the front side of the acoustic hole 16 gradually widens to form an acoustic horn 80 on the front side of the rectangular display frame 28m. Therefore, sound from the acoustic device 24 arranged on the main body 10b passes through the acoustic hole 16 and is output and diffused to the outside by the acoustic horn 80.

[0131] A light-transmitting hole 70 is provided in the cover plate 10a located on the back surface of the rectangular display frame 28m, a circuit board 34 is disposed on the back surface of the cover plate 10a, and an LED 32 is disposed on the circuit board 34 at a position corresponding to the light-transmitting hole 70 of the cover plate 10a. By driving the LED 32 to emit light, the light from the LED 32 is incident on the rectangular display frame 28m made of a light-diffusing translucent material through the light-transmitting hole 70, causing the entire surface of the position indicator light 14 to emit a substantially uniform red light.

[0132] In this manner, in this embodiment, by forming the acoustic hole 16 and the acoustic horn 80 in the position indicator light 14, in addition to reducing the installation space, the sound from the acoustic device 24 can be efficiently output and diffused to the outside, and the formation of the acoustic horn 80 can greatly improve the design.

[0133] In order to adjust the sound output and diffusion performance, acoustic holes may be provided in the rectangular display frame 28m of the indicator light 14. Furthermore, similar to the embodiment of Fig. 1(B), acoustic holes may be provided in the cover plate 10a outside the display frame. In this case, when acoustic holes are provided in the display frame, acoustic holes are also provided in the corresponding positions of the cover plate 10a.

[0134] The shape and arrangement of the acoustic hole 16 and the acoustic path 72 formed in the position indicator light 14 in this embodiment are merely examples, and are not limited thereto, and may be of any suitable shape and arrangement. This embodiment may also be provided in a fire hydrant device 50 as shown in Figs. 12 and 13. The indicator frame may be other than rectangular, for example, circular. Of course, the protrusion may also be of another shape.

[0135] [Embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box having a position indicator light with an acoustic path and an acoustic horn] FIG. 25 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment housing box in which an acoustic path and an acoustic horn are formed in a position indicator light, and FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram showing a central cross section of the position indicator light in FIG.

[0136] This embodiment is characterized by a combination of a structure in which an acoustic path 72 is formed behind the position indicator light 14 shown in the embodiment of Figures 21 and 22, and a structure in which an acoustic hole 16 and an acoustic horn 80 are provided in the position indicator light 14 shown in the embodiment of Figures 23 and 24.

A rectangular acoustic hole 16 is formed in the center of the position indicator light 14, and an acoustic horn 80 that opens in a cone shape is formed around the acoustic hole 16.

[0138] That is, as shown in FIG. 26, the rectangular display frame 28n of the position indicator light 14 has an acoustic hole 16 which is a rectangular hole penetrating into a protrusion 82 with a rectangular cross section formed at the rear center, and the front side of the acoustic hole 16 gently widens into a cone shape, thereby forming an acoustic horn 80 on the front side of the rectangular display frame 28n.

[0139] Also, as shown in FIG. 26, the rectangular display frame 28n of the position indicator light 14 is fixed to the front surface of the cover plate 10a by screws 26 via spacers 78 so that the protrusion 82 is positioned within the mounting hole 75 formed in the cover plate 10a with a gap between it and the exposed surface of the cover plate 10a, thereby forming an acoustic path 72 between the cover plate 10a and the rectangular display frame 28n, through the gap in the mounting hole 75 to the outside.

[0140] A light-transmitting hole 70 is provided in the cover plate 10a located on the rear surface of the rectangular display frame 28n, a circuit board 34 is disposed on the rear surface of the cover plate 10a, and the LED 32 is disposed on the circuit board 34 at a position corresponding to the light-transmitting hole 70 of the cover plate 10a. A rectangular opening 34a is also formed in the circuit board 34, and a protrusion 82 formed behind the rectangular display frame 28n is positioned in the rectangular opening 34a with a gap therebetween.

[0141] When the LED 32 on the circuit board 34 is driven to emit light, the light from the LED 32 enters the rectangular display frame 28n made of a diffusive light-transmitting material through the light-transmitting hole 70, causing the entire surface of the position indicator lamp 14 to emit a substantially uniform red light.

[0142] Moreover, sound from the acoustic device 24 disposed on the main body 10b passes through the acoustic hole 16 formed in the center of the rectangular display frame 28n, and is output and diffused to the outside by the acoustic horn 80. At the same time, sound from the acoustic device 24 passes through the gap of the rectangular opening 34a of the circuit board 34, the gap of the mounting hole 75 of the cover plate 10a, the acoustic path 72 formed behind the rectangular display frame 28n, and is output to the outside along the path indicated by the arrow 76.

[0143] In this manner, in this embodiment, by forming an acoustic hole 16 and an acoustic horn 80 in the position indicator light 14 and forming an acoustic path 72 behind the position indicator light 14, in addition to reducing the installation space, sound from the acoustic device 24 can be efficiently output to the outside, and the formation of the acoustic horn 80 can greatly improve the design.

[0144] In addition, the shapes and arrangements of the acoustic horn 80 and acoustic path 72 formed in the position indicator light 14, and the acoustic path 72 formed behind the position indicator light 14 in this embodiment are merely examples, and are not limited thereto, and may be any suitable shape and arrangement. In addition, this embodiment may be provided in a fire hydrant device 50 as shown in Figures 12 and 13. The protrusion 82 may also have another shape.

[0145] [Embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box having an acoustic path formed inside a position indicator light] FIG. 27 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the disaster prevention equipment housing box in which an acoustic path is formed in a position indicator light, and FIG. 28 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross section (cross section CC) of the position indicator light in FIG.

[0146] As shown in FIG. 27, in the disaster prevention equipment housing box 10 of this embodiment, a transmitter 12 is disposed below the exposed surface of a cover plate 10a, and a rectangular position indicator light 14 is disposed above the transmitter 12.

[0147] As shown in Figure 28, the rectangular display frame 28p of the position indicator light 14 has a protrusion 77 that has a rectangular cross section and extends like a pyramid behind the front rectangular frame, and an acoustic path 76 is formed in a direction that spreads out like a pyramid from the back surface to the front surface, and as shown in Figure 27, an acoustic hole 16 is formed on the surface of the rectangular display frame 28p that is opened like a picture frame and is divided into left and right, top and bottom.

[0148] The rectangular display frame 28p is fixed to the front surface of the cover plate 10a by screws 62 so that the protrusion 77 is positioned in the center of a mounting hole 75 formed in the cover plate 10a.

[0149] An LED storage section 74 is formed in a protrusion 77 formed behind the rectangular display frame 28p, and an LED 32 is provided on a circuit board 34 disposed behind the protrusion 77. An opening 34b is formed in the circuit board 34 disposed behind the protrusion 77, and the acoustic path 72 opens to the rear. The opening 34b constitutes an acoustic hole.

[0150] In addition, a light-transmitting hole 70 is provided in the cover plate 10a at a position adjacent to the rear side of the rectangular display frame 28p, and another circuit board 34 is arranged on the rear side of the cover plate 10a, and an LED 32 is arranged on this circuit board 34 at a position corresponding to the light-transmitting hole 70 of the cover plate 10a.

[0151] By driving the LEDs 32 arranged in this way to emit light, the light from the LEDs 32 enters the rectangular display frame 28p made of a light-diffusing translucent material, causing the entire surface of the position indicator lamp 14 to emit a substantially uniform red light.

[0152] Sound from the acoustic device 24 arranged on the main body 10b passes through the acoustic path 72 formed inside the rectangular display frame 28p from the opening 34b of the circuit board 34, and is output to the outside through the acoustic hole 16 opening on the front surface of the rectangular display frame 28p.

[0153] In this manner, in this embodiment, a sound passage is secured and sound can be efficiently output and diffused by forming an acoustic path 72 inside the position indicator light 14. Also, by opening the acoustic hole 16 in a frame-like shape divided into four parts inside the rectangular display frame 28p of the position indicator light 14, a new design can be obtained and the design can be greatly improved.

[0154] The arrangement of the acoustic path 72 and the LED 32 formed inside the position indicator light 14 in this embodiment is one example, and is not limited to this, and may be any suitable arrangement. This embodiment may also be provided in a fire hydrant device 50 as shown in Figures 12 and 13. The display frame may also be other than rectangular, for example, circular. Of course, the protrusion may also be other shapes.

[0155] Furthermore, the indicator lamp with an acoustic path of this embodiment may be disposed so as to form an acoustic path between it and the cover plate, as in the embodiment of Figs.

[0156] [Embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box with indicator lights arranged on the front and sides: Fifth invention] Figure 29 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which the position indicator lights and sound hole areas are concentrated in one location and the display surfaces of the indicator lights are provided on the front and side, with Figure 29(A) showing the front and Figure 29(B) showing the side.

[0157] As shown in FIG. 29, the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 of this embodiment is configured with a cover plate 10a and a main body 10b, and is installed on a wall surface or the like so that the cover plate 10a is exposed.

[0158] A transmitter 12 is arranged on the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a, which is exposed when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed on a wall surface or the like, and adjacent to the transmitter 12, a position indicator light 14 and an acoustic hole area 16a (the area surrounded by a dotted line in the figure) with an acoustic hole 16 opened are arranged together.

[0159] The transmitter 12 has, at its lower center, a protective plate 18 made of a transparent acrylic plate or the like for turning on a built-in push button switch 20, and above that, a maintenance door 22 with a telephone jack located inside.

[0160] Generally, the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed on a wall or the like with the arrangement direction of the concentrated position indicator lights 14, the acoustic hole area 16a, and the transmitters 12 oriented in the vertical direction, for example with the position indicator lights 14 side facing up (towards the ceiling) and the transmitters 12 side facing down (towards the floor).

[0161] The position indicator light 14 has a roughly gate-shaped display frame 28q that extends from the top of the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a to both the left and right side surfaces 13b, so that when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed, the position indicator light 14 has a display surface 15 on the front surface 13a and the side surfaces 13b of the storage case.

[0162] In addition, on the front surface 13a, the area surrounded on the upper side and on both the left and right sides by the display frame 28q of the position indicator light 14 becomes an acoustic hole area 16a equipped with an acoustic hole 16, thereby concentrating the position indicator light 14 and the acoustic hole area 16 in one location.

[0163] In this embodiment, the display frames 28q of the approximately gate-shaped position indicator lights 14 are concentrated in one place surrounding the acoustic hole area 16a, thereby reducing the dimensions in the arrangement direction of the concentrated position indicator lights 14, acoustic hole area 16a, and transmitter 12, and making it possible to miniaturize the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10.

[0164] In addition, the display surface 15 on the front surface 13a of the position indicator light 14 maintains visibility from the front when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed, and at the same time, the display surface 15 on the side surface 13b improves visibility from the side, thereby improving the visibility of the indicator light as a whole, and also providing a new design element and improving the design.

[0165] In this embodiment, a display surface is also provided on the top surface of the storage case, so that visibility from above can be ensured, for example, when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed at a relatively low position or when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 can be seen from above.

[0166] Figure 30 is an explanatory diagram showing the exploded structure of the disaster prevention equipment storage box of Figure 29. As shown in Figure 30, the storage case of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is composed of a cover plate 10a and a box-shaped main body 10b, and an acoustic device 24 such as a buzzer or bell is disposed in a position facing the acoustic hole area 16a formed in the cover plate 10a and in the main body 10b behind the acoustic hole area 16a, and when the acoustic device 24 is sounded by a local acoustic signal from a separately installed fire receiver, the fire alarm sound is output from the acoustic hole 16 shown in Figure 29(A).

[0167] A corresponding recess 17 is formed by stepping at the transmitter placement position on the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a, and the transmitter 12 is incorporated into the corresponding recess 17. The front top 12a of the transmitter 12 protrudes from the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a by a few millimeters.

[0168] In this embodiment, the display frame 28q is gate-shaped and surrounds the upper and left and right sides of the periphery of the sound hole area 16a, but it may also surround the lower side.

[0169] Figure 31 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which a display surface of an indicator light that surrounds part of the sound hole area in a gate shape is provided on the front and side, with Figure 31(A) showing the front and Figure 31(B) showing the side.

[0170] The disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 of this embodiment shown in Figure 31 is characterized in that, in addition to the embodiment of Figure 29, an acoustic hole 16 (indicator light side acoustic hole) that communicates with the acoustic hole 16 (cover plate side acoustic hole) of the cover plate 10 is provided in the indicator frame 28q of the position indicator light 14 to form an acoustic hole area 16b, and otherwise is the same as the embodiment of Figure 29.

[0171] Here, since both acoustic hole area 16a and acoustic hole area 16b constitute the overall acoustic hole area, in this embodiment, the position indicator light 14 and a part of the acoustic hole area (acoustic hole area 16b) are arranged to overlap each other.

[0172] In addition, the indicator light side acoustic hole also corresponds to an opening, and multiple cover plate side acoustic holes may be arranged for one opening.

[0173] By providing the acoustic hole area 16b in the indication frame 28q of the position indicator light 14 in this manner, the indication frame 28q is not restricted by the arrangement of the acoustic hole area 16a, and the degree of freedom regarding the shape and arrangement of the indication frame 28g is increased.

[0174] In this embodiment, the display frame 28q is gate-shaped and surrounds the upper side and the left and right sides of the acoustic hole area 16a, but it may also surround the lower side of the display frame 28q. Furthermore, a part of the acoustic area 16a may be disposed outside the outer periphery of the display frame 28q of the position indicator light 14, for example, on the transmitter 12 side as shown in FIG.

[0175] Fig. 33 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which the display frames of the position indicator lights are arranged on both the left and right sides of the sound hole area, and display surfaces are provided on the front and side of the storage case. As shown in Fig. 33, the area indicator lights 14 of this embodiment are arranged so that the display frames 28r are separated to the left and right and the sound hole area 16a with the sound holes 16 arranged on the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a is sandwiched from both sides, so that the position indicator lights 14 and the sound hole area 16a are provided together in one place.

[0176] Also, the display frames 28r arranged on both sides of the sound hole area 16a have display surfaces 15 on the front surface 13a and the side surfaces 13b of the storage case of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10. The rest is the same as the embodiment in FIG.

[0177] In this way, by concentrating the display frames 28r of the position indicator lights 14 in one location so that they sandwich the acoustic hole area 16a on both the left and right sides, the dimensions in the arrangement direction of the concentrated position indicator lights 14, acoustic hole area 16a, and transmitter 12 are reduced, making it possible to miniaturize the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10.

[0178] In addition, when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed, visibility from the front is maintained by the display surface 15 on the front surface 13a of the display frame 28r provided on the position indicator light 14, and at the same time, visibility from the side is improved by the display surface 15 on the side portion 13b of the display frame 28r, thereby improving the visibility of the indicator light as a whole, and also obtaining a new design element and enhancing the design.

[0179] Even in this embodiment, a display surface is provided on the top surface of the storage case, so that visibility from above can be ensured, for example, when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed at a relatively low position or when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 can be seen from above.

[0180] In addition, the relationship between the front display width W1 and the side display width W2 of the display frame 28r arranged separately on both the left and right sides of the cover plate 10a may be the same as the front display width W1 and the side display width W2, or, for example, if visibility from the front is to be ensured, the front display width W1 may be made larger than the side display width W2, and, for example, if visibility from the side is to be ensured, the side display width W2 may be made larger than the front display width W1, and the relationship between the front display width W1 and the side display width W2 may be any relationship. This point is also true for the relationship between the display widths of the front (left and right parts of the gate shape) and the sides of the display frame 28q shown in Figure 29, and the relationship between the display widths of the front (upper part of the gate shape) and the top surface of the display frame 28q.

[0181] [Embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box with indicator lights arranged on the front and sides: 6th invention] Figure 34 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which the transmitter, position indicator light and sound hole area are concentrated in one location, and the display frame of the indicator light is arranged so that it has a display surface on the front, left and right side surfaces, top and bottom of the storage case. Figure 34(A) shows the front, Figure 34(B) shows the side, and Figure 34(C) shows a plan view.

[0182] As shown in Figure 34, the storage case of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 in this embodiment is composed of a cover plate 10a and a box-shaped main body 10b, and the transmitter placed in the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is separated into a push button switch 20, a maintenance door 22, and a transmitter main body 12b, and the transmitter main body 12b is placed inside the main body 10b of the storage case, and the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22 separated from the transmitter main body 12b are exposed and placed in the center of the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a.

[0183] The exposed height of the exposed parts of the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22, for example the height of the tops of the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22, is set to be equal to or less than the exposed height of the display surface on the front surface 13a side of the position indicator light 14. The front surface 13a and the display surface on the front side, and the exposed tops of the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22 may be flush with each other. Of course, the display surfaces on both side surfaces 13b and the side surfaces, and the top and bottom surfaces and the top and bottom display surfaces may also be flush with each other, as shown in FIG.

[0184] The push button switch 20 has a protective plate 18 and a switch button arranged inside a rectangular switch cover, and is connected to the transmitter main body 12b by a signal line. A telephone jack is arranged inside the maintenance door 22, and is connected to the transmitter main body 12b by a signal line.

[0185] The position indicator light 14 has a display frame 28s that surrounds the transmitter push button switch 20 and maintenance door 22, which are exposed on the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a, in a rectangular shape and extends to both the left and right side surfaces 13b of the cover plate 10a, so that the position indicator light 14 has a display surface 15 on the front surface 13a and side surfaces 13b of the storage case of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10.

[0186] In addition, in this embodiment, the display frame 28a also has display surfaces on the upper surface 13c and lower surface 13d of the cover plate 10a, and as a result, the display frame 28s of the position indicator light 14 in this embodiment is formed around the entire periphery of the front surface and the upper, lower, left and right surface edges of the cover plate 10a.

[0187] In the portion of the display frame 28s of the position indicator light 14 arranged surrounding the push button switch 20 located in the center of the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a and the maintenance door 22, an acoustic hole area 16a having acoustic holes 16 divided into four locations, for example, top, bottom, left and right, is provided.

[0188] LEDs 32 are appropriately positioned behind the portion of the display frame 28s arranged on the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a, excluding the acoustic hole area 16a, as shown by dotted lines, and the backlighting of the display frame 28s causes the entire surface of the display frame 28s, including the front surface 13a, the left and right side surfaces 13b, the top surface 13c, and the bottom surface 13d, to emit a substantially uniform red light.

[0189] Here, the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22 separated from the transmitter main body 12b can be arranged in a narrower space than, for example, the transmitter 12 having the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22 integrally as shown in Fig. 29. That is, for example, the front opening of the display frame 28s can be made smaller than the outer periphery of the built-in transmitter main body 12b.

[0190] In this way, the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 of this embodiment has a position indicator light 14 with an indication frame 28s formed around the entire circumference of the cover plate 10a, an acoustic hole area 16a overlapping the indication frame 28s, and the push button switch 20 and maintenance door 22 separated from the transmitter main body 12, all concentrated in one location, so that the size of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 can be significantly reduced compared to the embodiment of Figure 29.

[0191] In addition, the acoustic hole area 16a is arranged so as to overlap with the indication frame 28s of the position indicator light 14, and the indication frame 28s is not restricted in its arrangement by the acoustic hole area 16a, so that the degree of freedom in terms of the shape and arrangement of the indication frame 28s can be increased. Note that the indicator light side acoustic hole also corresponds to an opening, and multiple cover plate side acoustic holes may be arranged for one opening.

[0192] In addition, when the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed, visibility from the front is maintained by the display surface 15 on the front surface 13a of the display frame 28s provided on the position indicator light 14, and at the same time, visibility from the side is improved by the display surfaces 15 on both the left and right sides 13b of the display frame 28s, thereby improving the visibility of the indicator light as a whole, and also obtaining a new design element and enhancing the design.

[0193] In addition, in an installation environment where the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is installed on a wall surface or the like and can be seen by users from above and / or below, the display surfaces 15 on the upper surface 13c and lower surface 13d of the display frame 28s provided on the position indicator light 28 improve visibility from above and below, thereby improving the visibility of the indicator light as a whole.

[0194] Furthermore, the display frame 28s arranged surrounding the push button switch 20 separated from the transmitter main body 12b makes it easier to clearly recognize the presence of the transmitter push button switch 20 functioning as an operation unit, making it easier to find the position of the transmitter push button switch 20 and enabling the user to operate the transmitter push button switch 20 without hesitation. The same is true for the maintenance door 22 arranged separately from the transmitter main body 12b, and during inspection, etc., the person in charge can open the maintenance door 22 without hesitation and insert the plug of a portable telephone into a telephone jack to make a call.

[0195] The display frame 28s of the position indicator lamp 14 arranged on the front surface of the cover plate 10a is arranged so as to surround the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22 arranged separately from the transmitter main body 12b in a rectangular shape, but is not limited to this and may be arranged so as to surround, for example, in a circular or elliptical shape, or may be an indication frame that surrounds, for example, a part of the periphery of the exposed part of the transmitter in a gate shape, similar to the indication frame that surrounds a part of the periphery of the sound hole area shown in Figures 29 and 31. Also, for example, as shown in Figure 35, the indication frame 28s may be divided and arranged, or an appropriate shape and arrangement may be selected, such as providing the indication frame at the four corners when viewed from the front of the storage case.

[0196] As another structure for the acoustic hole area 16a with the acoustic hole 16 in the indicator frame 28s of the position indicator light 14, an opening that serves as the acoustic hole area 16a may be formed in the indicator frame 28s, and the acoustic hole 16 may be formed in the portion of the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a that is located within this opening.

[0197] In the present embodiment, the joints between the front surface 13a and the side surface 13b of the cover plate 10a are rounded as shown in the plan view of Fig. 34(C), but are not limited thereto and may be rounded (chamfered), for example, and the display surface 15 of the side surface 13b of the cover plate 10a may be formed to conform to these shapes. This also applies to the joints between the front surface 13a of the cover plate 10a and the upper surface 13c and the lower surface 13d.

[0198] [Embodiment of disaster prevention equipment storage box with sound hole on the side of the storage case: 7th invention] Fig. 36 shows an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box with a sound hole provided on the side of the storage case, Fig. 36(A) shows the front and Fig. 36(B) shows the side. The disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 is usually installed with the arrow shown in Fig. 36(A) facing upward. In this embodiment, as in the embodiment of Figure 34, a push button switch 20 with a protective plate 18 separated from the transmitter main body and a maintenance door 22 are arranged on the front of the cover plate 10a, and display frames 28t for the position indicator lights 14 are arranged separately on both the left and right sides of the front of the cover plate 10a, so as to sandwich the transmitter arrangement area 12c (the area when the entire arrangement range of the transmitter including the transmitter main body built into the storage case is viewed from the front) in which the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22 are arranged, and an acoustic hole area 16a with multiple acoustic holes 16 is arranged along the inside of this display frame 28t (the side where the push button switch 20 and the maintenance door 22 are arranged), and the display frame 28t also has display surfaces on both the left and right side surfaces of the cover plate 10a, and an acoustic hole area 16a with multiple acoustic holes 16 is arranged in the main body 10b along this display frame 28t. Here, the disaster prevention equipment housing box 10 of this embodiment has an arrangement overlapping portion 90 in which the arrangements of the sound hole area 16a, the transmitter arrangement area 12c, and the indicator lamp 14 overlap in the vertical direction.

[0199] In addition, an acoustic hole area 16a is also arranged on the side surface of the cover plate 10a along the display frame 28t.

[0200] By arranging the acoustic hole area 16a in which the acoustic hole 16 is provided on the side surface of the storage case in this manner, the space in front of the storage case is reduced, making it possible to further reduce the size of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10.

[0201] In addition, since the acoustic hole area 16a, the transmitter arrangement area 12c and the display frame 28t of the position indicator light 14 are arranged so that their arrangement positions at least partially overlap in the up-down direction (vertical direction) when installed, constraints such as the space for arranging the acoustic hole 16, the transmitter area 12c and the position indicator light 14 are relaxed, and design freedom can be improved.

[0202] As shown in FIG. 36(C), the display surface of the indicator lamp 14 can be provided on the top surface of the storage case of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10, and the same can be applied to the bottom surface.

[0203] Figure 37 shows another embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which acoustic holes are provided on the side of the storage case, in which an acoustic hole area 16a with multiple acoustic holes 16 (cover plate side acoustic hole and indicator light side acoustic hole) is arranged to overlap with an indication frame 28t arranged separately on both the left and right sides of the front of the cover plate 10a, and similarly, an acoustic hole area 16a with multiple acoustic holes 16 is arranged to overlap with an indication frame 28t arranged on both the left and right sides of the cover plate 10a, and in this case too, there is an arrangement overlap portion 90 as in the embodiment of Figure 36.

[0204] Here too, as shown in FIG. 37(C), an indication surface of the indicator lamp 14 can be provided on the top surface of the storage case of the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10, and the same is true for the bottom surface.

[0205] FIG. 38 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a disaster prevention equipment storage box in which the display surfaces of indicator lights arranged on either side of the sound hole area are provided on the front and sides, and is characterized by a combination of FIG. 36 and FIG. 37.

[0206] In addition, although the acoustic holes are provided on the side of the case in Fig. 36 to Fig. 38, they may be provided on the top and bottom of the case as well. Also, in Fig. 36 to Fig. 38, the acoustic holes may not be provided on the front of the case, but may be provided on the side or top and bottom of the case.

[0207] Furthermore, the front display width and side display width of the display frames 28t arranged separately on the left and right sides of the storage case may have any desired size relationship, as in the embodiment of FIG.

[0208] It is to be noted that the disaster prevention equipment storage boxes of Figures 35 to 38 may be installed upside down. Not limited to this, for example, the disaster prevention equipment storage box 10 of Figures 38 to 38 may be installed sideways, in which case the left-right (horizontal) direction of each figure becomes the up-down (vertical) direction in the installed state, and the overlapping portion 90 is formed along the left-right (horizontal) direction in the installed state. Needless to say, when installed sideways, the display surfaces of the top and bottom of the illustrated storage case become the display surfaces of the left and right side surfaces in the installed state, and the display surfaces of the left and right side surfaces of the illustrated storage case become the display surfaces of the top and bottom of the installed state.

[0209] In addition, embodiments of disaster prevention devices in which the acoustic hole areas, transmitter placement areas, and indicator lights in Figures 36 to 38 are arranged so that their placement positions at least partially overlap when installed include the embodiments of disaster prevention devices shown in Figures 11, 13, 18, 34, and 35.

[0210] [Modifications of the present invention] 29 to 38, the display surface on the side of the display frame may extend to the main body of the storage case. Also, the display frame may be separated into a display frame having a display surface on the front surface of the storage case and a display frame having a display surface on the side surface.

[0211] 29 to 38, the display surfaces on the left and right sides may be provided only on one side where improved visibility from the side is required. The same applies to the display surfaces on the top and bottom sides.

[0212] In addition, the storage case in each embodiment may be installed with a part embedded in the wall, and in the embodiments in Figures 29 to 34, at least a part of the display surface on the side of the storage case may be exposed from the wall. For example, as explained in the embodiment in Figure 29, the cover plate with the display frame may be exposed from the wall, and the main body may be embedded in the wall.

[0213] The configuration in which the position indicator light and the sound hole area are disposed together in one place in the above embodiment can be applied to a configuration in which a display unit and a sound output unit provided in a fire control panel are disposed together in one place.

[0214] In addition, the above embodiment of the disaster prevention equipment storage box takes as an example a case in which the sound hole, the position indicator light located in one place, and the transmitter are arranged vertically, but they may also be arranged horizontally within the scope of the object of the present invention.

[0215] In the above embodiment, a light-diffusing and light-transmitting member is used for the display frame of the position indicator, but an appropriate light-guiding member may be used. As an example, a light-guiding member may be used in which reflective dots are printed on the back surface of an acrylic light-guiding plate, and light incident from the edge of the light-guiding plate is guided to the entire surface of the acrylic by using the total reflection of the acrylic, and the light that hits the reflective dot changes its course, and the light that emerges from the front surface of the acrylic at an angle smaller than the total reflection angle is used to make the entire surface of the light-guiding plate shine uniformly in red. Other known illumination, light-guiding, light-transmitting, and light-diffusing methods may be applied.
