Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a visual recognition device that allows a vehicle parked or parked at night to be visually recognized from the outside.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is known to improve the safety of pedestrians and bicycles by visually recognizing the positions of the wheels of an automobile from the outside at dusk in the evening or at night. Conventionally, such a visual recognition means has been disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-8101
No. 1,115,901, etc., a semiconductor such as a diode or a lamp attached to a wheel portion, or a light-emitting coating on a wheel portion or a tire portion. For example, there is a light emitting material attached.

[0003]

In the above, the one using a semiconductor or a diode requires a power source therefor, and there is a drawback that a generator or a battery is required to be attached, resulting in a high cost. In addition, conventional devices, including those that apply self-luminous materials such as fluorescent paint, exert a design effect by the rotation of the wheel during running, but when the wheels are stopped, they simply emit light. Since the material is only exposed, it has the drawback of lacking a design effect. On the other hand, the self-luminous paint and the like have a problem that if they are attached to a place that is easily affected by sunlight, they are likely to deteriorate early.

The present invention eliminates these conventional drawbacks, is low in cost, has an excellent design when viewed from the outside in a stopped state, or prevents an early deterioration of the light emitting material. It is an object of the present invention to provide a night vision device.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the first invention of this application is to use a self-luminous paint on the wheel body of an automobile or on the cap surface of the wheel. It is characterized by displaying a logo such as a trademark name.

The invention according to claim 2 of this application is characterized in that the self-luminous coating material is attached to a position visible from the outside of a lamp portion provided outside the automobile.

Similarly, the invention of claim 3 of this application is characterized in that a self-luminous paint which is visible from the outside is adhered to the front and / or the rear of the automobile, or both of the peripheral portions of the glass.

Further, the invention of claim 4 of this application is characterized in that a self-luminous coating material is adhered to a front portion of a room mirror in an automobile. In addition, according to the invention of claim 5, a self-luminous paint is attached to the rear surface of the seat pillow in the automobile.

The invention according to claim 6 of this application is characterized in that a self-luminous coating material is adhered to the surface of one or both of a bumper and a side protect molding of an automobile.

[0010]

As described above, since the self-luminous paint is adhered to the position visible from the outside of the automobile, a car parked or parked can be visually recognized by the light emitted from the self-luminous paint at dusk or at night. , Can improve the safety of pedestrians and bicycles.

Further, by displaying a logo such as a company name or a trade name on the surface of the wheel, it is possible to improve the design, unlike the case where the paint is simply attached.
It can help to improve the company name and brand image of the company.

Further, it is possible to prevent the self-luminous paint from being deteriorated at an early stage by adhering the self-luminous paint to the inside of the vehicle or the inner surface which is less affected by sunlight.

Reference numeral (6) is a headlight, and a self-luminous paint (2) is also attached along the peripheral portion of the headlight (6), and also along the peripheral portion of the rear light (7). Similarly, the self-luminous paint (2) is attached. (8) (8) is a vehicle width light provided outside the headlight (6), and the self-luminous paint (2) is also attached along the peripheral portion of the vehicle width light (8). You may.

The self-luminous coating material (2) is also attached along the periphery of the windshield (9) and the rear glass (10), whereby the windshield (9) and the rear glass (10). By illuminating the surrounding area, the position of the stopped car can be visually confirmed from the outside.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the rear surface of the rearview mirror (11) visible from the front of the automobile, that is, the front surface of the rearview mirror (11), is coated with a self-luminous coating (2) to form the rearview mirror (2). In, it becomes possible to visually recognize the position of the automobile.

Similarly, in the vehicle, the rear seat (12)
If the self-luminous paint (2) is attached to the rear surface of the seat pillow (13) in (1), the position of the automobile can be confirmed through the rear glass (10).

In addition, in the door mirror (14), by adhering the self-luminous paint (2) to the back surface, that is, the front surface of the door mirror (14), it is possible to confirm the entire width of the vehicle from the front. is there.

FIG. 3 (15) shows a rear glass (10) inside the vehicle.
It is also possible to attach the self-luminous paint (2) to this stop lamp (15) with the high mount stop lamp installed inside.

Further, in FIGS. 2 and 3, self-luminous paints (2) and (2) are attached to the front end and the rear end of the roof (21) so that they can be visually recognized from the front and the rear.

In addition, the self-luminous paint (2) is attached to the periphery of the radiator grille (22) and the frame portion in FIG. 2, and the rear lamp (7) in FIG.
The self-luminous paint (2) is attached to the tail portion (23) between (7).

In FIGS. 1 to 3 above, the self-luminous coating (2) is attached to all parts, but it may be provided at any one or a plurality of places. Further, as the self-luminous coating material (2) of this type, by using a weather resistant coating material, the durability can be further improved.

FIGS. 4 to 6 show examples in which the self-luminous coating is applied to the wheel (1) portion. In FIG. 4, the center cap (1) of the wheel (1) is shown.
In the center of 4), a logo such as a company name or a trade name is similarly displayed with self-luminous paint (2). Figure 5
Shows a similar logo displayed on the spokes (19) of the wheel body (18) of the wheel (1). Fig. 6 shows the logo self-aligned along the periphery of the wheel body (18). It is shown by the luminous paint (2).

FIG. 7 shows an example of the case where the self-luminous coating material (2) is attached to the headlight (6) portion.
