Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an improved roadside barrier marker structure, and more particularly, to a roadside barrier marker structure having the automatic blinking of light to indicate a car failure situation.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

When a car breaks down while it is running, the driver generally places an emergency triangular road safety marker at an appropriate distance behind the car to warn the cars coming from behind. It is commonly known that most of the emergency safety markers are made of reflective materials, and such reflective material requires the light from the headlights of the coming cars to produce the reflection. The warning effect is not quite eye catching, and thus lowers the effect. Therefore the driver with less concentration will not be able to timely notice the emergency situation at a distance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved roadside barrier marker structure, so that when the roadside barrier marker is opened up and placed behind the car, it enhances the warning effect by automatically providing a blinking light indication.

The technological solution of the present invention provides an improve roadside barrier marker structure, characterized in that said structure comprising: two marker bodies, both in triangular shape, wherein a semicircular groove being disposed on one of the marker bodies, and a base coupled to a cylindrical cylinder at the center of the bottom of the marker body, and a cylinder being disposed on another marker body, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged in partition form, and a base being coupled to the bottom of the marker body, and a battery base and a control circuit being disposed at the bottom to the marker body; a control circuit coupled to the LED on the surface of the marker body; a magnet, substantially in rectangular shape, being embedded in the cylindrical cylinder at the base of the marker body; a fixing bolt being fixed on the groove and cylinder on the upper section of the two marker bodies such that the bases of the two marker bodies being coupled in a cross shape.

The aforementioned roadside barrier marker has an oval hole disposed on the top of the marker body for the user's holding.

The control circuit at the bottom of the marker body is coupled to a press switch for manually controlling the LED.

The features and disadvantages of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and it has symmetric triangular marker bodies, and each of the two marker bodies has a cylinder at their upper section, and a base at the bottom section, and a plurality of LEDs arranged in parallel lines on the surface of one of the marker bodies, and the base has a control circuit such that after the coupling of the marker bodies by means of the cylinder and the base, it constitutes the roadside barrier marker. When the roadside barrier marker is opened up and placed on the roadside, the control circuit drives the LED to produce the blinking in order to improve the warning effect of the roadside barrier marker.

A magnet is embedded in the center of the base of the marker body, and such control circuit has a magnetic switch such that when the roadside barrier marker is used, the LED will be lit automatically by means of the sensing of the magnetic switch to the magnet.

The foregoing object and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

To make it easier for our examiner to understand the objective of the invention, its structure, innovative features, and its performance, we use a preferred embodiment together with the attached drawings for the detailed description of the invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is comprised of a pair of symmetrical triangular marker bodies 1, 2, with a oval hole 11 at the top of one of the marker bodies for the user's holding, and a semicircular groove 12 disposed below the oval hole 11, and a base 13 coupled to the bottom section, and a cylindrical cylinder 14 is disposed at the center of the base 11.

Another marker body 2 comprises a cylinder 21 at its upper section, having a pluralities of light emitting diodes (LEDs) 22 arranged in the partition form, and a base 23 is coupled to the bottom of the marker body 2. A battery base 24 and control circuit 25 are disposed on the base 23, and a magnetic switch 26 is disposed on the control circuit 25 such that the control circuit is coupled to the press switch 27 of the base 23.

With the foregoing assembly of components, the two marker bodies are fixed onto the groove 12 and the cylinder 21 b a fixing bolt 3, and coupled together onto the bases 13, 23 in a cross shape. After the marker bodies are coupled, a magnet 4 is embedded into the cylinder 14 at the center of the base 13 of the body marker 1, and the LED 22 on the surface of the marker body 1 are coupled to the control circuit 25 by the conductive wire 221 to constitute a foldable roadside barrier marker 100. The two marker bodies 1, 2 are folded and generally put in the trunk of the car at usual time; and the two marker bodies 1, 2 are opened when there is a car trouble. After the marker bodies are opened, the magnet 4 constitutes a sensing to the magnetic switch 26 of the control circuit 25, so that the magnetic switch lights up the LED 22 after being connected and produces a blinking effect. Such arrangement improves the warning effect, when the roadside barrier marker 100 is placed behind the car.

With reference to FIG. 4, the control circuit 25 of the present invention further comprises a magnetic switch 26, which is connected to an electric power or the start up end of a circuit, and the magnet 4 inside the cylinder 14 of the marker body 1 is substantially in rectangular shape. Therefore, when the roadside barrier marker is folded, the magnet 4 is parallel to the magnetic switch 26, and they are not connected, such that the LED is off. When the roadside barrier marker is unfolded, the cylinder 14 rotates about 90 degrees so that the magnet 4 is perpendicular to the magnetic switch 26 and the magnetic line can sense the magnetic switch 26 to initialize the connection and light up the LED automatically.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the present invention is in use, the roadside barrier market is opened up horizontally, such that the marker bodies 1, 2 are coupled substantially in a cross shape for a stable placement. Furthermore, when the roadside barrier marker 100 is opened up, it will light up the LED 22 automatically and produce the blinking as well as improve the warning effect. Of course, the LED can also be turned on and off manually by the press switch 27.

It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.

While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
