[0029] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In the drawings, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted to clearly explain the present invention, and the same reference numerals have been used throughout the specification for identical or similar components.

[0030] FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a vehicle stopper according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a key part schematically illustrating the vehicle stopper of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the vehicle stopper of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a stopper body according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, a vehicle stopper (100) according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a stopper body (10) having an inclined surface (11) formed on one side that is supported by the wheel of the vehicle, and a warning light part (30) having a light-emitting part (33) installed that is detachably coupled to the side of the stopper body (10) in a protruding state and emits light in the coupled state.

[0032] The stopper body (10) can be installed to support the vehicle wheel so that it can function as a chock to prevent the vehicle wheel from sliding.

[0033] The stopper body (10) may have an inclined surface (11) formed on its side to stably support the sliding of the vehicle wheel. The inclined surface (11) may be formed on one side facing the stopper body (10), or it may be formed on each of the two opposing sides.

[0034] On these inclined surfaces (11), friction protrusions (13) may be protruded to provide frictional force to prevent the vehicle wheels from sliding on slopes, etc.

[0035] The friction protrusions (13) are formed to protrude in multiple numbers on the entire surface of the inclined surface (11) and come into surface contact with the wheel, thereby providing frictional force to limit the rotation of the wheel.

[0036] The friction protrusions (13) are spaced apart from each other and protrude along the inclined surface (11), and may protrude in multiple numbers on the surface of the inclined surface (11) with a square cross-sectional shape. Of course, the friction protrusions (13) are not necessarily limited to a square cross-sectional shape, and it is also possible to include a round shape in a part.

[0037] Meanwhile, the inclined surface (11) may also have a concave surface formed to maximize the contact area corresponding to the outer surface of the round-shaped wheel. Accordingly, the vehicle wheel can be stably supported in contact with the inclined surface (11) with the frictional force on the outer surface maximized.

[0038] Meanwhile, a handle portion (20) may protrude from the side of the stopper body (10).

[0039] The handle portion (20) may protrude from one or both sides of the stopper body (10) so that the worker can properly grip it with one hand or both hands.

[0040] The handle portion (20) is exemplarily described as protruding from the side of the stopper body (10) in a ring shape that a worker can insert their hand into and grip. However, the handle portion (20) is not necessarily limited to a ring shape, and it is also possible to change it to an appropriate shape and size so that the worker can easily move the stopper body (10).

[0041] The stopper body (10) may be formed of a rubber material to enable effective frictional contact support with the wheel to prevent the vehicle wheel from slipping. Of course, the stopper body (10) is not necessarily limited to a rubber material, and it is also possible to appropriately change and apply it to a specific material such as urethane that allows for easy frictional contact with the wheel.

[0042] Meanwhile, a warning light (30) may be installed on the side of the stopper body (10).

[0043] FIG. 5 is a side view schematically illustrating a light-emitting part according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 5, the warning light (30) is detachably installed on the side of the stopper body (10), and can be installed so as to visually inform the worker of the state in which the stopper body (10) is installed to support the sliding of the vehicle wheel.

[0045] A fixing hole (15) may be formed on the side of the stopper body (10) for detachable fixing of the warning light part (30). That is, the warning light part (30) may be detachably fixed with a portion inserted into the fixing hole (15).

[0046] More specifically, the warning light unit (30) may include a warning light body (31) that is installed on the side of the stopper body (10) in a state supported on the bottom surface, with a fixing part (32) protruding from the side that is fixed to a fixing hole (15), and a light-emitting part (33) installed on the warning light body (31) to visually indicate the installation state of the stopper body (10).

[0047] The warning light body (31) is installed in a state protruding from the side of the stopper body (10), and can be installed in a state where the lower surface is supported on the floor surface and the upper surface is formed with an upper and lower long length so that it protrudes to the upper part of the stopper body (10).

[0048] In this embodiment, the warning light body (31) can be installed in a cylindrical shape with an elongated vertical length on the side of the stopper body (10). Of course, the warning light body (31) is not necessarily limited to being formed in a cylindrical shape, and it is possible to change and apply it in various shapes such as a polygonal column. A support base (34) for stable support may protrude from the lower part of the warning light body (31).

[0049] A gripping portion (31a) that can be grasped by a worker's hand may protrude from the side of the warning light body (31).

[0050] The gripping portion (31a) protrudes in a long length in the vertical direction of the warning light body (31) and protrudes from the side of the warning light body (31) in a ring shape, so that a worker can easily grip it with one hand or both hands to facilitate the movement of the warning light body (31). This gripping portion (31a) can be applied as a handle member that protrudes in a ring shape from the side of the warning light body (31).

[0051] The gripping portion (31a) is not limited to protruding in a ring shape on the side of the warning light body (31), and the shape of the protruding portion can be appropriately modified so that it can stably support the load of the warning light body (31) while being held by a worker's hand.

[0052] A fixing part (32) that is fixed by being inserted into the fixing hole (15) of the stopper body (10) may be installed in a protruding state on the side of the warning light body (31).

[0053] The fixing part (32) can be detachably fixed inside the fixing hole (15) formed on the side of the stopper body (10) when the worker moves the warning light body (31) to a position in contact with the side of the stopper body (10) while holding the gripping part (31a) of the warning light body (31).

[0054] More specifically, the fixing part (32) may include a fixing bar (32a) that protrudes from the side of the light body (31) and is inserted into the fixing hole (15), and a fixing member (32b) that is coupled to the end of the fixing bar (32a) and fixed inside the fixing hole.

[0055] The fixing bar (32a) protrudes in a bar shape from the side of the warning light body (31) and can be inserted into the fixing hole (15) of the stopper body (10). In this embodiment, the fixing bar (32a) can protrude in a polygonal column shape from the side of the warning light body (31) with a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the fixing hole (15).

[0056] The fixing bar (32a) protrudes from the side of the warning light body (31) with a length corresponding to the length of the fixing hole (15), and can be fixed while sufficiently inserted into the inside of the fixing hole (15). To this end, a fixing member (32b) may be installed at the end of the fixing bar (32a).

[0057] The fixing member (32b) can be applied as a magnetic member installed at the end of the fixing bar (32a) and fixed by magnetic force inside the fixing hole (15). In the following, the fixing member and the magnetic member use the same reference numeral.

[0058] The magnetic member (32b) is protruded in a round shape at the end of the fixing bar (32a) and inserted into the fixing hole (15), and can be fixed by magnetic force while inserted into the fixing hole (15).

[0059] To this end, a metal member (35) may be installed inside the fixing hole (15) for fixation by the magnetic force of the magnetic member (32b).

[0060] The metal member (35) is installed at the bottom position of the fixing hole (15), and when the fixing bar (32a) is inserted into the fixing hole (15), the magnetic member (32b) can be fixed to the metal member (35) by magnetic force.

[0061] These magnetic members (32b) can be applied as electromagnets capable of selectively applying magnetic force, or as permanent magnets.

[0062] Meanwhile, a light-emitting part (33) may be installed on the upper side of the warning light body (31).

[0063] The light-emitting part (33) can be installed on the upper side of the warning light body (31) so as to be able to visually inform the user of the state in which the stopper body (10) is installed to support the vehicle wheel.

[0064] More specifically, the light-emitting part (33) can be applied as an LED light that emits a single color and is installed on the upper part of the warning light body (31). This light-emitting part (33) is not necessarily limited to an LED light that emits a single color, and it is also possible for it to emit multiple different colors simultaneously or alternately.

[0065] In this way, the light-emitting part (33) is installed on the warning light body (31), so that the user can easily visually inform the user of the installed state of the stopper body (10) that supports the sliding of the vehicle wheel, thereby effectively preventing vehicle accidents on slopes, etc.

[0066] Meanwhile, a control unit (37) that controls the operation of the light-emitting part (33) may be installed in the warning light body (31).

[0067] The control unit (37) is installed on the side of the warning light body (31) so that the user can manually control the operation to enable selective on / off operation of the light-emitting unit (33).

[0068] This control unit (37) can be applied as a switch member installed to enable the user to control the on / off of the light-emitting unit (33).

[0069] Accordingly, the user can control the control unit (37) while the warning light unit (30) is installed on the side of the stopper body (10) to enable the light-emitting unit (33) to emit light.

[0070] As described above, the vehicle stopper (100) of the present embodiment can be configured to have a stopper body (10) installed to support the vehicle wheels so as not to roll the vehicle on a slope, and to have a warning light unit (30) installed on the side of the stopper body (10) that is detachably installed and has a light-emitting part (33) installed thereon. Accordingly, the user can easily visually check the installation status of the stopper body (10) that supports the vehicle's roll, thereby effectively preventing accidents caused by the vehicle's roll.

[0071] In addition, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from starting without the vehicle driver being aware of the installation status of the vehicle stopper (100).

[0072] In addition, at night, the light-emitting part (33) makes it possible for other cars or pedestrians to easily see the vehicle parked at night, thereby preventing accidents caused by colliding with the parked vehicle.
