On the one hand, the electronic whistle of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments described below.

Fig. 1 is a view showing the appearance of an electronic whistle according to this embodiment. 1(a) and 1(b) are perspective views, and Fig. 1(c) is a right side view. As shown in Fig. 1, the electronic whistle 1 is preferably a cylindrical body, and has a main body portion 10 whose front end side is larger than the rear end side. The thinner portion of the rear end side constitutes a portion (handle) for the user's palm and fingers to hold. On the other hand, a portion having a relatively large diameter on the front end side is provided with a speaker 2 for emitting electronic sound (see Fig. 2). Further, the front surface of the main body portion 10 is a flat surface, and a plurality of through holes 11 for allowing electrons emitted from the speaker 2 to pass therethrough are formed on the front surface thereof. Instead of the circular through hole 11, it may be changed to a shape such as a slit shape. On the other hand, the rear surface of the main body portion is covered by the cover member 12, and the cover member 12 is detachably attached to the main body portion by a screw structure. The cover member 12 is configured to be detached from the main body portion 10 by grasping and rotating the convex portion provided at the center thereof with a finger, and for example, maintenance and exchange of internal parts and the like can be performed.

Further, a cover member 13 that covers a portion where the battery is mounted is detachably provided on the bottom surface side of the main body portion 10. The battery is a power source 3 for emitting electronic sound to the electronic whistle 1 (refer to FIG. 2). Further, although the configuration in the case of using a dry battery is shown in Fig. 1, the type and size of the battery are not limited, and the shape and size of the cover member 13 can be changed in conjunction with the battery used. Further, instead of the battery, or as an auxiliary, a power source such as a solar battery may be added.

The body portion 10 of the electronic whistle 1 is formed of, for example, a resin such as plastic. example For example, it may be formed of a colored resin such as blue or red, or may be formed of a transparent resin. However, the material or color forming the body portion 10 is not limited, and a known material such as metal or wood may be used, and the color and pattern may be arbitrarily determined. Further, in Fig. 1, the main body portion 10 of the cylindrical body is shown as a preferable shape, but other shapes may be applied. Further, the main body portion 10 may be any size that can be held by the user with one hand, and the size thereof can be appropriately changed. As an example, for example, the length is set to 100 to 200 mm, the diameter of the distal end side is 30 to 50 mm, and the diameter of the rear end side is 10 to 30 mm.

A switch 4 for allowing the user to select a whistle as the first electronic sound and a gun sound as the second electronic sound is disposed on the plane side of the main body portion 10. The changeover switch 4 is, for example, a switch in the form of left and right slides. For example, if the slide is made to the right (A side), the whistle is selected, and if it is slid to the left (B side), the shot sound is selected. Moreover, when in the center position, the power is turned off (OFF). By arranging the above-configured switch 4 at a position closer to the front end of the handle and holding the handle of the handle, the user can perform the switching operation without special hand-exchange of the electronic whistle 1. .

An electronic signal of sound; a sound generating switch 5 for sounding the selected electronic sound; a second control unit 7 having a control circuit for causing the generated electronic signal to sound as an electronic sound; and a speaker 2 facing the periphery An electronic sound is emitted. Here, the power supply 3, the changeover switch 4, the sound generation switch 5, and the speaker 2 have been described. Here, only the first control unit 6 and the second control unit 7 that constitute the sound control unit will be described.

The first control unit 6 is a control circuit composed of, for example, an IC (integrated circuit). The first control unit 6 performs control for forming a whistle and a gunshot sound based on the selected state of the changeover switch 4. As an example, for example, the operation of the electronic circuit is controlled to generate a sound signal corresponding to a whistle or a gun sound of a predetermined sound, or to read a sound signal of a whistle or a gun sound stored in a memory or the like. Further, as another example, for example, it is also possible to control the oscillation circuit to form an oscillation signal of a frequency corresponding to a whistle or a gun sound of a predetermined sound. In other words, the first control unit 6 has a function of generating an electronic signal of both the whistle and the gun sound, and includes a function of controlling the electronic circuit to generate an electronic signal selected by the switch 4, and the circuit configuration thereof There is no particular limitation, and a known electronic circuit can be used.

The second control unit 7 is a control unit composed of, for example, an IC (integrated circuit). road. The second control unit 7 controls the electronic signal of the whistle or the gunshot sound generated by the control operation of the first control unit 6 to be an electronic sound when the sound generation switch 5 is in the on state. Specifically, it controls the operation of the electronic circuit to obtain a function as an amplifier that amplifies the electronic signal of the whistle or gunshot, and a function of transmitting the amplified electronic signal to the speaker as an electronic sound. In other words, the second control unit 7 may have a function of controlling the electronic circuit so that the electronic signal of the whistle or the gun sound is sounded by the speaker as an electronic sound of a predetermined volume, and the circuit configuration is not provided. Particularly, a known electronic circuit can be used.

As described above, the electronic whistle 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a changeover switch 4 for selectively ringing any of the whistle and the gun sound on the surface portion of the electronic whistle 1, and is used to sound at any time. The sound of the selected sound (whistle/gun sound) produces a switch 5. Further, the electronic whistle itself has a sound control unit (6, 7) and a speaker 2 that sounds the selected electronic sound when the sound generation switch 5 is turned on. Therefore, as long as the electronic whistle of the present embodiment is separately provided, it is not necessary to separately prepare an electronic whistle and a firing gun, and an external speaker or the like is not required, and the user can hold and operate with one hand to selectively whistle and whistle. Any of the gunshots.

As a more preferable configuration, the changeover switch 4 and the sound generation switch 5 are collectively disposed on the surface portion of the plane side of the electronic whistle 1, and the finger holding the hand of the electronic whistle 1 can be operated. More preferably, the changeover switch 4 and the sound generation switch 5 are disposed on a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 10. Therefore, in the electronic whistle 1 of the present embodiment, the user does not need to perform temporary hand-held exchange, and the selection operation of any one of the whistling sound and the gun sound can be simply and quickly performed with one hand, and the sounding station can be easily and quickly performed.
