Abstract

To provide a luminous protective fence without the use of an external source, this inventive protective fence is designed to have a sunlight receiving and a light emitting function structure as well as a pipe strength. The fence comprises multiple transverse pipes made from a metal or rigid material comprises an upper opening which is sealed with a light transmitting cover ( 12 A). The solar panel ( 21 ) is installed under the light transmitting cover ( 12 A) and also the metallic pipe is provided with a controller ( 22 ), a battery ( 23 ) and an output circuit ( 24 ), while the metallic pipe is provided with a recessed groove ( 25 ) exposing diagonally downside and extending in a longitudinal direction, and in the recess a luminescent module ( 25 ) is installed, thereby during the daytime the sunlight energy is stored through the solar panel ( 21 ) in the battery ( 23 ), while during the nighttime the controller ( 22 ) provides the electric power from the battery ( 23 ) to the output circuit ( 24 ) to emit the light from the luminescent module ( 25 ), resulting in provision of a luminescent protective fence in order to illuminate the pedestrian's feet.

Claims (15)

1. A light emitting or luminous protective fence comprising:

at least two vertical struts or supports to stand on a ground with space apart from each other in the transverse direction; and

at least two transverse pipes bridged between a pair of adjacent vertical struts or supports with space apart from each other in the vertical direction,

wherein at least one of the transverse pipes includes an upper half opened pipe and a lower half closed pipe to be coupled into one pipe body, the lower half closed pipe is made from a metallic or rigid material for keeping a pipe strength and making an equipment built-in room, and the upper half opened pipe is a light transparent opened pipe or cover for making a sunlight receiving room;

wherein the sunlight receiving room is provided with a solar panel, and the equipment built-in room is provided with a controller, a battery and an output circuit,

the lower half closed pipe of the at least one of transverse pipes has a recessed groove exposing diagonally downside and extending in a longitudinal direction, and in the recess groove, a light emitting module is installed, and

during the daytime, the sunlight energy is stored through the solar panel in the battery, and during the nighttime, the controller provides the electric power from the battery to the output circuit so as to emit the light from the light emitting module to deliver light downward obliquely from the transverse pipe extending in a longitudinal direction.

2. The light emitting or luminous protective fence according to the claim 1 , wherein the upper half opened pipe or cover of the at least one of the transverse pipes is made from a translucent polycarbonate resin and the like, and the lower half closed half pipe of the at least one of the transverse pipes is made from aluminum alloy or the like.

3. A light emitting or luminous longitudinal pipe applicable to a transverse pipe attached to a light emitting or luminous protective fence, comprising:

an upper half opened pipe and a lower half closed pipe to be coupled into one pipe body,

wherein the lower half pipe is made from a metallic or rigid material for keeping a pipe strength and making an equipment built-in room and the upper half opened pipe is a light transparent opened pipe or cover for making a sunlight receiving room,

wherein the sunlight receiving room is provided with a solar panel, and the equipment built-in room is provided with a controller, a battery, and an output circuit

the lower half closed pipe of the transverse pipe has a recessed groove exposing diagonally downside and extending in a longitudinal direction, and in the recess groove, a light emitting module is installed, and

during the daytime, the sunlight energy is stored through the solar panel in the battery, and during the nighttime, the controller provides the electric power from the battery to the output circuit so as to emit the light from the light emitting module to deliver light downward obliquely from the transverse pipe extending in a longitudinal direction.

4. The illuminative pipe according to the claim 3 , wherein the upper half opened pipe of the transverse pipe is made from a translucent polycarbonate resin or the like, and the lower half closed pipe of the transverse pipe is made from aluminum alloy or the like.
