Description

Vehicle safety equipment

[0001] The present invention relates to a safety device for a vehicle that can be used in various ways to ensure safety in an emergency situation that occurs while driving.

[0002] While driving, various emergencies can arise. These include breakdowns, accidents, and situations requiring stopping. In these situations, drivers should use their flashing lights to signal following vehicles. In the event of a fire, they should use a vehicle fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.

[0003] Conventionally, various devices for use in emergency situations during vehicle operation have been individually provided. These devices, such as tripods, warning lights, and fire extinguishers, must be individually installed in the vehicle. However, this process can be inconvenient. Therefore, the present invention proposes a vehicle safety device that integrates various safety measures for use in emergency situations.

[0004] The present invention achieves the above object by proposing a vehicle safety device comprising a light part having a predetermined length, a connecting part formed at the lower end of the light part and supplying power to the light part, and a fire extinguisher formed at the lower end of the connecting part, wherein the light part, the connecting part, and the fire extinguisher have a structure that can be disassembled and assembled so that parts can be replaced or positions changed, thereby enabling use for various purposes in the event of an emergency in the vehicle.

[0005] According to the present invention, in situations where a dangerous situation occurs while driving a vehicle, such as a vehicle fire, accident prevention when stopping on the shoulder of the road, or secondary accident prevention, etc., it is possible to use what is necessary immediately, thereby helping to reduce accidents or casualties.

[0006] Figure 1 is an example of a vehicle safety device according to the present invention.

[0007] Figure 2 is an exploded view showing a schematic configuration of a vehicle safety device according to the present invention.

[0008] Figure 3 is an exemplary diagram showing a partial cross-section of a vehicle safety device according to the present invention.

[0009] Figure 4 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which a vehicle safety device according to the present invention is erected and used.

[0010] Figure 5 is another example of use showing a state in which a vehicle safety device according to the present invention is erected and used.

[0011] The present invention proposes a vehicle safety device that is equipped with a variety of safety means that can be used in an emergency situation, comprising: a warning light having a predetermined length; a connecting portion formed at the bottom of the warning light and supplying power to the warning light; and a fire extinguisher formed at the bottom of the connecting portion, wherein the warning light, the connecting portion, and the fire extinguisher have a structure that can be disassembled and assembled, so that parts can be replaced or positions changed, and thus the vehicle safety device can be used for various purposes in the event of an emergency situation in the vehicle.

[0012] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings, FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0013] First, the basic configuration of the invention is explained. Fig. 1 is an exemplary diagram of a vehicle safety device according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is an exploded view showing a schematic configuration of a vehicle safety device according to the present invention, and Fig. 3 is an exemplary diagram showing a partial cross-section of a vehicle safety device according to the present invention.

[0014] The vehicle safety device according to the present invention includes a warning light (100), a connecting part (200), and a fire extinguisher (300). The warning light (100), the connecting part (200), and the fire extinguisher (300) have a structure that can be disassembled and reassembled, so that parts can be replaced or their positions changed to enable use for various purposes in the event of an emergency in the vehicle.

[0015] The light source (100) includes a case (120) coupled to a connecting part (200) and an LED bar (140) accommodated inside the case (120).

[0016] The case (120) is preferably formed with a predetermined length and is formed of a transparent material with an internally hollow structure. Although the drawing illustrates a case formed in a cylindrical shape, the present invention is not limited thereto. The case (120) is detachably coupled to the connecting portion (200), and the coupling structure between the case (120) and the connecting portion (200) may adopt various known coupling structures, such as a screw coupling, a forced-fit coupling, a one-touch coupling according to a protruding groove structure, or a coupling by magnetic force.

[0017] The LED bar (140) has a rod structure in which LEDs are formed at predetermined intervals along the length thereof. By being electrically connected along the edge of the connecting portion (200), the LED bars are installed to emit light toward the outside of the case (120). A plurality of such LED bars (140) may be provided and arranged at predetermined intervals, and the material may be formed of a material that allows for some degree of bending.

[0018] The LED bars (140) formed in multiple pieces can be formed in at least three pieces. Preferably, three pieces are formed. The LED bars (140) formed in this way can be spread out like a tripod while the lower part is connected to the connecting part (200). With the case (120) separated, the LED bars (140) are spread out in a tripod shape, and then the connecting part (200) is turned over so that it faces upwards, and the LED bars (140) can be used as legs and placed on the floor.

[0019] The lower portion of the LED bar (140) can be connected to the connecting portion (200) by a spacing line (222). The spacing line (222) is formed to an appropriate length to limit the angle at which the LED bar (140) is opened into a tripod shape, and is formed to be connected to each of a plurality of LED bars (140). This prevents the LED bars (140) from being opened excessively.

[0020] The spacing line (222) can be connected to a pillar (220) formed at the center of the upper surface of the connecting portion (200). A pillar (220) is formed at a constant height at the center of the upper surface of the connecting portion (200), and one end of the spacing line (222) is connected to the pillar (220) and the other end is connected to each LED bar (140).

[0021] Here, a spacing plate (240) may be formed on the top of the pillar (220). The spacing plate (240) is formed as a circular or polygonal plate, and is formed horizontally to maintain the spacing between the LED bars (140) arranged at a predetermined spacing. This spacing plate (240) may be formed in a size that contacts the LED bars (140), or may be formed in a size that does not contact them.

[0022] Meanwhile, when a plurality of LED bars (140) are formed at regular intervals to emit light toward the outside of the case (120), a portion where light is not emitted occurs between the LED bars (140). Accordingly, in the present invention, a reflective line (122) is formed in the longitudinal direction of the case (120) between the points where the LED bars (140) are installed. The reflective line (122) can be formed by attaching reflective or luminous paper to the surface of the case (120) or applying paint. This reflective line (122) allows light to be reflected between the LED bars (140), thereby improving visibility.

[0023] The connecting portion (200) is formed to have a structure in which a battery or rechargeable battery can be inserted, so as to supply electricity to the LED bar (140). A button capable of controlling the supply and disconnection of electricity is provided, so that the operation of the LED bar (140) is controlled by controlling the button. As described above, a case (120) is attached to the upper portion.

[0024] A small fire extinguisher (300) for use in vehicles is adopted. Such fire extinguishers (300) include spray-type fire extinguishers that are configured to be held and used with one hand.

[0025] The fire extinguisher (300) is connected to the lower portion of the connecting portion (200) in a detachable structure. For this purpose, a fire extinguisher lid (260) may be formed at the lower portion of the connecting portion (200). The fire extinguisher lid (260) may be formed integrally at the lower portion of the connecting portion (200) or may be provided separately and coupled. The coupling structure between the lower portion of the connecting portion (200) and the fire extinguisher lid (260) may adopt a screw coupling or a one-touch coupling structure according to a protrusion-groove structure. Accordingly, the fire extinguisher (300) can be freely coupled to and detached from the connecting portion (200), and the user can purchase an existing vehicle fire extinguisher (300) and use it by coupling it to the fire extinguisher lid (260) formed at the lower portion of the connecting portion (200).

[0026] Meanwhile, a reflective sticker or luminous sticker may be attached to the fire extinguisher (300) at an appropriate location as needed. This is a configuration that can be adopted to improve visibility by reflecting light through the surface of the fire extinguisher (300) when the vehicle safety device according to the present invention is set up by spreading the LED bar (140), as will be described later.

[0027] A destructive protrusion (420) may be formed by combining it at the bottom of the fire extinguisher (300). The destructive protrusion (420) has a structure with a sharp end protruding so that it can destroy the vehicle's glass in an emergency, and is preferably formed of a metal material.

[0028] The destructive protrusion (420) is formed at the bottom of the cover body (400) and can be coupled to the fire extinguisher (300). The cover body (400) is formed of an elastic material such as rubber and can be formed to be coupled while covering the bottom of the fire extinguisher (300). This allows the cover body (400) to be selectively coupled to the bottom of the fire extinguisher (300).

[0029] The vehicle safety device according to the present invention formed as described above can be used in an emergency situation that occurs while the vehicle is being driven, by holding the fire extinguisher (300) as a handle and emitting light through the warning light (100) to notify following vehicles of the danger and guide following vehicles to proceed safely. Furthermore, in a fire situation, the fire extinguisher can be detached and sprayed at the point of ignition, thereby enabling it to be used for initial extinguishment.

[0030] Below, other use cases of the vehicle safety device according to the present invention are described.

[0031] Figure 4 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which a vehicle safety device according to the present invention is erected and used.

[0032] As illustrated, the vehicle safety device according to the present invention can be used by opening the LED bar (140) with the case (120) separated, then turning it over and standing it up on the floor with the connection part (200) and the fire extinguisher (300) facing upwards. At this time, the light generated from the LED bar (140) can notify following vehicles of a dangerous situation, and further, the reflective sticker formed on the fire extinguisher (300) reflects the light to increase visibility, thereby more effectively providing a warning signal to following vehicles.

[0033] Figure 5 is another example of use showing a state in which a vehicle safety device according to the present invention is erected and used.

[0034] As illustrated, the vehicle safety device according to the present invention can be used by combining a case (120) with a fire extinguisher (300) positioned at the upper side when the LED bar (140) is flipped over in an open state. In this case, the case (120) has an effect of increasing in size by the height thereof, thereby improving visibility, and if a reflective line (122) is formed on the case (120), the light reflecting performance can be further improved.

[0035] As described above, the vehicle tool according to the present invention can be used in various ways, such as by always keeping it in the vehicle and using it, separating parts of it or separating each part and changing the position to assemble it, and by changing its form in various ways, depending on the emergency situation that occurs in the vehicle, thereby helping to ensure safety.
