2. Description of the Related Art When performing a check or accident processing on a road, a sign-shaped sign conventionally installed on the road or on the roof of a vehicle is used as a sign to notify other passing vehicles that the check or the processing of the accident is being performed. Signs are used.

[0003] Signs to be installed on the road include standing signboards with legs and signboards attached to stands. As signs to be installed on the roof of a vehicle, a stand fixed to the roof of the vehicle is used. The signboard-shaped sign attached to is used.

[0004]

These signs are frequently used, and the signs installed on the road are made rugged so as to withstand rough handling. It is large, inconvenient to transport, and requires a large storage space. In addition, the sign for vehicle installation is firmly attached to the roof so that it does not fall off the roof, and it is made large so that it can be seen from the road well on the roof, the production cost is high, Furthermore, since the sign cannot be removed, there is a problem in that the vehicle must travel with the sign attached even when using a normal vehicle.

[0005] In order to solve such a problem, it is conceivable that a sheet-like sign is coated on a rectangular tube-shaped stand to form a three-dimensional sign. The sheet-shaped sign is lighter than the conventional sign-shaped sign, and can be folded during transportation or storage, so that there is an advantage that handling is easy.

[0006] However, in the case of a sheet-like sign presumed to be used by covering the stand, it can be used only by always preparing the stand and combining it with the stand. There is a drawback that it is limited to.

[0007] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to expand the range of use of the sheet-shaped sign by using the sheet-shaped sign as a vehicle traffic sign by enabling the sheet-shaped sign to be attached to other than the stand. is there.

According to the present invention, there is provided a vehicle traffic sign including a reflective sign formed of a sheet material coated with a reflective paint and a plurality of light emitting diodes provided on one surface of a seat body. An attraction magnet is attached to the other surface of the sheet body.

Preferably, the sheet body is made of a flexible material such as mesh fabric, woven fabric, or synthetic resin leather so as to be foldable. In particular, mesh fabrics are optimal in terms of weight reduction and wind pressure reduction. Although the size and shape of the seat body are not particularly limited, for example, it is necessary that the size of the sign such as "Checking" or "Processing an accident" be large enough to be seen by the driver of the running vehicle. Yes, and also consider placing character signs in multiple places so as to stand out,
It is desirable that at least one side be a square or a rectangle of 30 cm or more.

The reflective marker is formed by attaching characters or figures formed of a sheet material coated with a reflective paint to one surface of the sheet body or by sewing, so as to reflect light such as a vehicle light when used at night. It is designed to be clearly visible to the driver. The light-emitting diode is turned on and off by a battery and an electronic circuit so that the presence of the sign is more prominent at night.

The attraction magnet is provided by attaching a magnet to the back of the surface of the sheet body on which the reflection marker is provided,
This sign can be attached to steel stands, fences, vehicles, etc. with one touch. Note that even if a string is attached to the peripheral edge of the sheet body in case the absorption by the magnet is insufficient with a pipe stand or fence, or to attach it to a stand or fence made of non-magnetic material such as aluminum. Good.

[0012] Further, a locking means such as a hook-and-loop fastener for connecting the sheet bodies to each other is provided at corresponding front and back positions of the peripheral edge of the sheet body so that a plurality of sheet-like markers can be successively mounted. Can also. For example, a long sign can be attached to a long fence, a vehicle, or other structures by connecting a plurality of the sign in a horizontal direction.
