PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stick giving a little burden to a user to have excellent operability, efficiently emitting light so as to secure excellent recognition properties from the surroundings, and being excellent in durability.SOLUTION: A stick having a shaft part (2), and a grip part (3) on the top edge of the shaft part (2) includes an electric power generation element (8), electricity storage means (9), and control means (10) in the grip part (3). A light emission part (13) emitting light to the outside by receiving electric power is provided in one of the shaft part (2) and the grip part (3). Electric power generated by the electric power generation element (8) is accumulated in the electricity storage means (9), and the electric power accumulated in the electricity storage means (9) is supplied through the control means (10) to the light emission part (13).COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】使用者への負担が少なく操作性に優れるうえ、効率よく発光して周囲からの良好な認知性を確保でき、しかも耐久性に優れる杖を提供する。【解決手段】シャフト部(2)とこのシャフト部(2)の上端にグリップ部(3)とを有する杖である。グリップ部(3)に発電素子(8)と蓄電手段(9)と制御手段(10)とを備える。電力を受けることで外方へ光を放出する発光部(13)をシャフト部(2)とグリップ部(3)とのいずれかに配置する。発電素子(8)で発電した電力を蓄電手段(9)に蓄積し、蓄電手段(9)に蓄積された電力を、制御手段(10)を介して発光部(13)へ供給する。【選択図】図3
