The present disclosure relates to a case having a car safety warning sign integrally stored therein, and more specifically, to a case having a car safety warning sign integrally stored therein, in which the safety warning sign, when not in use, is rolled and stored, and in the event of emergency, when a driver opens the trunk and then opens the case by pulling a cover with a finger while the case is attached and affixed to the edge of the trunk by means of a magnetic body of an attachment member connected to the case, the safety warning sign stored in the form of a roll inside the case is, simultaneously as the case is opened, automatically deployed and installed by its own weight (gravity), thereby allowing the driver, even in the state of panic from an accident, to easily and rapidly install the car safety warning sign and thus induce a quick escape to a safety zone.
In general, a car safety warning sign is configured to be installed on a road behind a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped in an emergency on the road or shoulder due to malfunction of the vehicle during driving or a car accident such that the drivers of following vehicles recognize an emergency situation in the front area in order to prevent secondary collision accidents of the following vehicles, and a warning triangle has been representatively known.
A warning triangle is stowed in the trunk in normal times and, if necessary, a user takes the warning triangle out and independently sets up and uses the warning triangle behind the vehicle on the road. Since the warning triangle is manufactured in relatively small sizes for the convenience of carrying, when the warning triangle is installed directly on a road on which vehicles are driven at high speeds, it is positioned lower than the heights of the driver's eyes of following vehicles, so it does not come into the visual field of the drivers of following vehicles, thereby having limitation in prevent of secondary collision accidents.
In order to solve the problems of existing warning triangles, techniques of installing a warning triangle in a trunk have been proposed in many prior art documents including Korean Utility Model No. 20-0152242, Korean Laid-open Utility Model Publication Nos. 20-1998-037585 and 20-2017-0000497, Korean Patent No. 10-1838885, etc.
The car safety warning signs proposed in the prior art documents have a warning triangle integrated with a trunk to be deployed and exposed when the trunk is opened. That is, a warning triangle is integrally installed in a trunk, so when the trunk is opened, the warning triangle is also deployed or exposed with opening of the trunk, thereby providing convenience in used for drivers.
However, since the car safety warning signs proposed in the prior art documents are stowed with the warning triangle installed in a trunk, they are difficult to carry and require a large space for stowing, so there is a problem that spatial usefulness of a trunk is decreased. In particular, when loads are put into a trunk or loads in a trunk are taken out, the loads are stuck to the safety warning sings, which causes inconvenience when using a trunk.
In order to solve this problem, in Korean Patent No. 10-1985536, the applicant proposed a car safety warning sign that is easy to be stowed, can be simply and quickly mounted at various positions in a vehicle, and thus enables a driver to more safely and quickly cope with an emergency situation because a safety warning sign is rolled in a roll type using a coupling member when it is not used and is mounted and deployed inside or outside a vehicle or at the upper portion in the trunk of a vehicle using magnetism when it is used.
However, the car safety warning sign according to the related art proposed in Korean Patent No. 10-1985536 has an advantage of easy installation in comparison to existing warning signs, but it should be stowed in a separately prepared cylindrical case when it is not used, so a user has to take the warning sign out of the case and then install it in an emergency, whereby it takes a relatively long time to install the warning sign. Accordingly, there is a problem that a time for which a driver can quickly escape to a safety zone in an urgent situation is not secure, which may result in a larger secondary accident.
Not only many vehicles are usually driven, but vehicles are driven at relatively high speeds on highways. In particular, when a sudden emergency situation such as malfunction of a vehicle or a car accident occurs while driving on a highway at dark night, even skillful drivers embarrass and get into a panic, so their body response speed unavoidably decreases in comparison to the normal state, and accordingly, drivers have to be able to more simply and easily set up a warning sign.
Nevertheless, since the car safety warning sign according to the related art is stowed in a separate case, it takes an additional time to take the warning sign out of the case in an emergency situation. In particular, if a user embarrasses and gets all flustered when taking the warning sign out of the case, the driver may not set up the warning sign well such as a drop it to the ground and more setup time is required, so there is a problem that a sufficient escape time cannot be secured.
Accordingly, the present disclosure has been proposed in an effort to solve the problems in the related art and can provide the following objectives.
First, an objective of the present disclosure is to provide a case having a safety warning sign, which is integrally stored therein and can be immediately attached and set up in a vehicle without unnecessary preparation actions such as taking out from the case or assembling, thereby enabling a driver embarrassed due to an accident to easily and quickly set up the safety warning sign and secure a sufficient escape time.
Second, another objective of the present disclosure is to provide a case that can be simply attached and installed at the end of the trunk of a vehicle through a magnetic body (magnetic member) so that a safety warning signal is installed at a high position from the ground and drivers of following vehicles can easily recognize the safety warning sign, thereby being able to prevent a secondary accident.
In order to achieve the objectives, an aspect of the present disclosure provides a case having a car safety warning sign integrally stored therein, the case including: a body including a housing having a fitting groove longitudinally formed and a cover opening and closing the housing; a safety warning sign having an upper end fitted in a fitting groove formed at the housing to be integrally coupled, rolled in a roll type and accommodated in the housing when not used, and being moved down, unrolled, and deployed by its own weight simultaneously as the housing is opened in an emergency situation; a mounting member connected to the body, having a magnetic body embedded therein, and attaching and fixing the body to a trunk of a vehicle; and a rotary member rotatably coupling the cover to a lower end of the housing, wherein the housing includes a first accommodation groove section at which a semicircular first accommodation groove in which the rolled safety warning sign is accommodated, and a first panel section to which the mounting member is connected, that is integrally formed over the first accommodation groove section, and that has a first magnetic body embedded in a front surface thereof, and the cover includes a second accommodation groove section at which a semicircular second accommodation groove is formed symmetrically to the first accommodation groove of the body, and a second panel section in which a second magnetic body is embedded to be attached to the first magnetic body embedded in the first panel section of the body by magnetism.
Further, when the first and second panel sections are attached to each other through the first and second magnetic bodies,
a circular accommodation space, in which the safety warning sign rolled in a roll type is accommodated, may be formed by the first and second accommodation grooves.
Further, the case may further include a non-slip section installed at the center of the second panel section and preventing slip of fingers when a user pulls the second panel section using fingers to open the housing.
Further, the safety warning sign may have a safety warning mark at the center thereof to be recognizable, a rail member disposed at the upper end thereof to be fitted in a fitting groove of the body, and a winding rod, which is formed in a cylindrical rod shape such that the safety warning sign rolled in a roll type and accommodated in the first accommodation groove of the housing is unrolled and deployed by its own weight when the cover is opened, at the lower end thereof.
Further, the safety warning sign may further have a distance mark shown with ‘30’, ‘20’, and ‘10’ so that drivers of following vehicles can recognize distances from the vehicles, wherein the ‘30’ may be formed in a size that can be recognized by people at 30 m, the ‘20’ may be formed in a size that can be recognized by people at 20 m, and the ‘10’ may be formed in a size that can be recognized by people at 10 m, and the distance mark may be formed by any one of luminous printing, reflective cloth, or a reflective tape.
Further, the safety warning sign may further include a connecting ring connected to the center of the winding rod to fix the winding rod such that the safety warning sign does not flutter in the wind in an unrolled state, an elastic string connected to the connecting ring, and a magnetic body connected to an end of the elastic string and attached and fixed to a car body of a vehicle by magnetism.
As described above, according to the present disclosure,
the following effects can be achieved.
First, according to the present disclosure, since the safety warning sign is integrated with the case, the safety warning sign is easily stored and carried when it is not used, and an embarrassed driver can easily and quickly install the safety warning sign by immediately mounting the safety warning sign in a vehicle without an unnecessary preparation actions such as taking the safety warning sign out of the case or assembling the safety warning sign in an emergency, whereby it is possible to secure a sufficient escape time.
Second, according to the present disclosure, the case can be quickly and simply mounted at the end of the trunk of a vehicle through magnetism using the mounting member in an accident, so the safety warning sign is positioned at a relatively high position from the ground, whereby drivers of following vehicles can easily recognize the safety warning sign. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the possibility of recognition by drivers of following vehicles and considerably improve a secondary accident prevention ratio.
Third, according to the present disclosure, the case is mounted in the trunk of a vehicle through the mounting member, the body is opened in a one touch type by separating the cover of the case from the body, and simultaneously, the safety warning sign accommodated therein is automatically deployed, so it is possible to quickly install the case and to secure a sufficient time so that a driver can escape from the site of a car accident.
Fourth, according to the present disclosure, since the safety warning sign has a distance mark enabling distances from following vehicles to be recognized, drivers of following vehicles recognize a dangerous situation through the safety warning mark, recognize the distances from themselves to the current place with the dangerous situation through the distance mark, and appropriately cope with the situation, depending on the distances, whereby it is possible to remarkably reduce a secondary accident ratio.
Fifth, according to the present disclosure, since the lower end of the safety warning sign is attached and fixed to a car body using an elastic string and a magnetic body, it is possible to minimize or prevent fluttering of the safety warning sign in the wind.
