Description

[Technical field]

[0001] Welfare equipment for the blind [Background technology]

[0002] The current canes for the blind make it difficult to see around at night and are not noticeable even during the day, so they are ignored and it is difficult to receive support. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the current situation by attaching a fluorescent part that reflects light near the tip and a bell as shown in the figure to let people around know about them. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] not clear Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In order to solve the current situation where it is difficult to receive technical support, we will contribute to the development of a symbiotic society by attaching a bell to the fluorescent part that reflects light near the tip of a white cane. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Attach a light-reflective part near the tip of the current white cane, as shown in the figure, and then attach a bell to the bottom of the part. Effect of the Invention

[0006] By having more people pay attention to blind people walking, blind people who tend to be ignored will become more noticeable, contributing to a society of inclusive coexistence. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] A fluorescent device is attached near the tip of a conventional white cane for the blind, and a bell is attached to the bottom of it to inform people around, enriching the symbiotic society. The fluorescent part is painted with luminous paint, and various luminous materials are attached to it to enhance its effectiveness. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] When a blind person uses this cane to walk, even a small amount of light is received, and the reflective paint and parts of the material let the blind know when they are walking. In addition, the bell sound helps the blind person to know when they are walking. EXAMPLES

[0009] Strangely, there are no examples because the white cane that has been used for a long time has not been improved. [Explanation of symbols] 1. Traditional white canes for the blind 2. Fluorescent device: upper and lower cross reinforcement 3. Bell at the bottom of the fluorescent device 4. A receiving device that fixes the fluorescent part to the cane (enabling replacement of the fluorescent part device, etc. with rubber products, etc.)
