Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle, in which legs are expanded and arranged on the road quickly in order to restrict the traffic of passenger cars, and when the restriction is released, the legs are easily folded to make the vehicle compact. The present invention relates to a movable temporary marker that can be stored.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a marker made of synthetic rubber or a flexible synthetic resin having a truncated cone with a hollow base and a flange formed on the outer periphery thereof has been used. Has been designed such that the cavity of one truncated cone is inserted into the tip of the other truncated cone and placed one on top of the other. In addition, when vehicles are regulated and guided by arranging a plurality of vehicles on the road, the vehicle may fall or be blown off by wind pressure generated when the vehicle passes, so to prevent such a state, increase the flange area or increase the wall thickness etc. It is made of a flexible material to make it heavier and easier to adapt to the road surface. Further, in order to stably maintain the installation state, a method of fitting a donut-shaped weight to the flange has been adopted.

In order to prevent a traveling vehicle from being easily damaged even if it is accidentally stepped on, or to be bounced off by the impulse and not to cause a secondary disaster to other vehicles and various facilities, the marker is provided with a marker. Many are made of a flexible and easily deformable material.

[0004]

However, although the truncated cone-shaped marker is reduced in bulk by overlapping a plurality of markers, the marker itself is not deformed and reduced in size. In such a case, it is bulky and cannot be stored in, for example, a trunk of a passenger car or the like.

[0005] Further, since no handle is formed on the conventional marker, it is necessary to hold it with both hands when carrying it, so that clothes and hands may be stained. Furthermore, since the shape of the triangular pyramid is large, it is susceptible to the wind, and the installation position may be shifted due to the wind pressure of the traveling vehicle or may be blown off and fall.

In view of the above, according to the present invention, the legs to be attached to the sign main body are made to be able to be turned upside down, and when installed on the road, the legs are quickly expanded and erected, and when removed, the legs are attached to the sign main body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a temporary marking device which can be compactly erected alongside and can be housed in a car, and which can be easily replaced even if the marker body is broken.

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and is a foldable temporary marker that is arranged on a road to temporarily restrict the traffic of a car. A sign body that draws attention to a person or a car, and is attached to the lower part of the sign body so that the sign body can be turned upside down, and is stored along the sign body in the upright state, and is expanded in an inverted T-shape in the fall state. It has a leg for supporting and supporting the sign body, and the sign body is provided with locking means for holding at least the standing state of the leg, and opening means for engaging and disengaging the locking means. It is characterized by the following. In addition, a restraining means for suppressing the standing of the leg in the falling state can be provided.

The leg is an integrally molded rubber-like elastic body. An opening is provided substantially at the center of the leg, and is penetrated by the lower part of the sign body. A groove is formed so that the groove can be turned upside down, and a support cap having a shape complementary to the shape of the groove and provided with an opening similar to a leg is fitted into the groove so as to be slidable at the lower part of the sign body. A locking hole is provided on one of the opposing sides of the sign body and the leg standing up along the sign body, and a projection fitting is provided on the other, and the leg slides downward in the upright state. Then, when the sign body is placed on the road surface in the locked state, the support cap pushes up the standing leg, the leg is disengaged, and the leg is expanded. It should be done.

Preferably, a locking spring is formed at the lower end of the marker body, penetrates the opening of the leg and the support cap, and is engaged with the opening edge of the support cap.

[0010] The support cap is formed so that an upper portion along a side surface of the sign main body protrudes higher than the falling upper surface of the leg portion, and when the sign main body is installed on a road surface, the leg portion is formed by the projecting portion of the cap. In addition to suppressing the standing, the support cap is displaced downward as the sign body slides downward, and the legs can be raised. That is, once the sign main body is installed on the road surface, the legs are kept in a lying state so as to be hard to fall down, and the legs are easily stored by the up and down operation of the sign main body.

[0011] Furthermore, the sign may be provided on at least one surface of the sign body and / or a reflector may be attached to at least one surface, and / or the sign body may be formed of a synthetic resin containing a fluorescent pigment.

Further, a handle is formed on the sign body so that it can be carried even if a plurality of bundles are bundled, and a rope stopper structure is provided at at least one place of the sign body so that traffic regulation can be clarified by hanging a rope. Care may be taken to obtain installation stability and to further reduce the resistance due to the wind pressure of the passing car by providing a vent hole in the sign body so that it will not fall down even in a large area.

FIG. 4 is a partial longitudinal sectional view showing the engagement structure shown in FIGS. FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a partial sectional view showing still another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a partial view showing several examples of a mode in which a rope is narrowly provided in the sign body.

First, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG.
And an up-and-down leg 2 for supporting and independently supporting the sign body 1 are slidably attached in an inverted T-shape, and the sign body 1 has a handle 11 which can be carried on the upper part thereof. The handle 11 is provided with a notch portion 12 in which a rope is sandwiched, and a reflector 12 for giving night visibility is attached to a substantially central portion of the sign body 1. On the other hand, a concave groove 21 is formed on the bottom surface of the central portion where the leg 2 is attached to the sign main body 1 so that both leg wings 22 are easily erected along the sign main body 1. While the stop hole 23 is provided, a projection fitting 13 is formed so as to protrude from the side surface of the sign body 1 facing the engagement hole 23, and the leg is locked or moved by the sliding of the sign body and the leg. It is made to be disengaged. Also, flanges 15 are provided on both lower side edges of the sign body 1 so that the sign body is erected on the road surface and does not fall down or swing under the influence of wind or the like, and further, a vent hole 16 is formed in the sign body. I have.

The structure in which the sign body 1 and the leg 2 penetrate in an inverted T-shape will be described in more detail. The lower part of the sign body 1 shown in FIGS. Leg 2
The support cap 3 having a shape complementary to the concave groove 21 is fitted in contact with the central rear concave groove 21, and the locking spring 17 formed at the lower end of the sign main body 1 through the support cap 3 from the concave groove 21.
The support cap 3 is engaged. When the leg wings 22 stand up along the sign body 1, the locking holes 23 of the leg wings 22 fit into the projection fittings 14 of the sign body 1, and when the sign body 1 is lifted in this state, the leg 2
Due to the weight of the support cap 3, the support cap 3 is displaced together with the support cap 3, whereby the leg lock hole 23 is locked to the protrusion fitting 14 and is held by the sign body 1. Further, when the sign main body 1 is placed on the road surface, the support cap 3 comes in contact with the ground first, so that the standing leg is pushed up, so that the locking holes 23 of the both wings of the leg are disengaged from the projection fitting 14, so that Leg both wings 2
2 is expanded to allow the sign body to stand upright.

The leg 2 is made of, for example, urethane resin, SB
R and NBR are integrally molded from a material having rubber elasticity, and the bottom surface of the leg portion is concave along the surface of the sign body so that the leg portion can be turned upside down at the penetrating portion with the sign body 1. A groove 21 is formed. In addition, even if there is unevenness on the road surface, it is stably grounded, and a flexible material is selected so that it does not move or fall due to wind pressure generated when passing the car,
Consideration has been given to high frictional resistance and weight blending.

The means for locking the sign body 1 and the leg 2 is
As described above, it is not always necessary that the projection fitting 14 is fitted to the marker main body 1 and the locking holes 23 are provided in the leg wings 22, respectively.
The projection fit may be attached to both leg wings so as to protrude. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which, for example, the locking member formed on the sign body is moved up and down so that the leg wings are sandwiched, with the leg portions not sliding up and down, for example, with the leg wings standing upright.

On the other hand, in another embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 5, for example, in which the sign main body 1 is hard to fall down and stably stands on a road surface, a support cap provided through a lower portion of the sign main body 1 is provided. The upper part 3 along the side surface of the sign body 1 has two leg wings 2.
Since the projecting portion 31 is formed higher than the falling upper surface of the vehicle 2, even if the sign body 1 installed on the road surface is likely to fall down due to the wind pressure of a traveling vehicle and the leg wings 22 are going to rise, the above-mentioned support is provided. The cap 3 is restrained by the protruding portion 31 and does not stand. Therefore, the leg body is always kept in the lying state, so that the sign body does not fall down. When the sign body 1 slides downward and the support cap 3 slides down, the leg wings 22 can be erected and the legs can be easily stored in the sign body.

Further, the support cap need not be used. For example, in another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 6, an arrow-shaped support portion 18 is formed below the marker main body 1 and The opening of the leg wings 22 is cut out in conformity with the shape of the arrowhead, and when the leg is erected, it is locked on the support portion 18 and the leg is lifted. It is made to come off and expand.

The handle 11 is formed at the upper end of the sign body, and is formed into a thin and easy-to-grip shape so that a plurality of handles can be bundled and held. The handle 11 is provided with a partially notched portion 12 adapted to the thickness of a commonly used rope so that the rope can be sandwiched. The notch 12 does not limit the position and the number of points as shown in FIG. 7. Considering the ease of grasping the handle and the ease of hanging the rope, the handle preferably has no protrusion, and the notch has a notch. Good to face out.

The reflector 12 of the sign main body may be a molded body such as a prism, but is preferably a reflective sheet that can adapt to the bending of the sign main body and is hard to be broken. Is increasing. Normal,
If the main body of the sign is a surface material, it is attached to the front and back, but if a sticking surface is formed in a direction perpendicular to the surface material such as a flange, the angle that can be visually recognized by attaching the reflective sheet to the outer surface of the flange is also increased. Spreading is still preferred. Characters, symbols or color markings can be made on the reflective sheet, and the base material of the sign body is also molded with a compound such as fluorescent pigment, or if fluorescent coating is applied, it also improves daytime visibility. Can be enhanced.

It is preferable that the sign body has a large display area so that the visibility is increased and the sign body is preferable. On the other hand, a flange 15 is formed on a side edge of the sign body to provide rigidity so that the sign body does not swing or fall due to the wind pressure of the traveling vehicle. ing. That is,
In order to reduce the thickness of the sign body and increase the bending strength in order to reduce the weight of the sign body, a material with high rigidity is inevitably selected, but there is a risk of being damaged by being stepped on by a car etc. A material that is not easily damaged may be selected. Preferably, a flat plate can satisfy the required performance, but if the material is a flexible molded body such as rubber elasticity, it is difficult to be damaged, but the rigidity is weak. Therefore, a vertical rib structure is formed on a part or the entire surface of the flange or the sign body. Can be improved. In addition, by providing a wind vent hole, the largest possible area can be ensured, and the supporting force of the leg can be adapted. On the other hand, if the marker body 1 is broken by being stepped on by a car or the like, the locking spring 17 provided at the lower part of the marker body 1 can be easily disengaged from the support cap 3 and a new marker is used. It can be replaced with the main body.

[0023]

According to the present invention, the legs engaged with the sign body can be freely turned upside down, and when installed on the road, the legs are quickly expanded and erected, and when removed, the legs are moved along the sign body. It can be stood upright, locked and stored compactly, so it can be loaded on the trunk of passenger cars. In addition, it can be bundled and carried, and by restricting the rope to the sign body, traffic regulation can be more effectively performed. Furthermore, the replacement of a broken sign body is structurally simple.
