Description

  The present invention relates to a cone installed to divide a predetermined area at a construction site, a traffic regulation area, or the like, and more particularly, to a cone that is a security product for preventing terrorism so that the inside of the cone can be seen through. .

  A conventional cone is a cone-shaped indicator that is formed by integrally molding a hollow cone on a flat pedestal, and divides a predetermined area at the road repair work site or traffic regulation area, etc. It is used to guide people and regulate the passage of vehicles, and plays an important role in ensuring safety and preventing accidents. If the inside of the conical portion is hollow, the conical portion of another cone can be inserted into the hollow portion, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

Since these cones are hollow and relatively light, when used on the road, there is a problem that they move or fall over during strong winds, and countermeasures have been proposed. (Patent Document 1)
In addition, in order to improve the problem of being difficult to see when used on the road at night, a proposal has been made to illuminate the hollow interior with a lighting device and brighten the cone itself. (Patent Document 2)
Further, in order to prevent the display from being damaged when the cone is stored or transported, a cone cover that can be freely inserted and removed has been proposed. (Patent Document 3)

  The corn, which is a security product, has a convenient function to divide a predetermined area in areas that need to be regulated, to clarify dangerous zone castles, and to guide and regulate traffic of people and vehicles. Now, it is often used not only on the street but also in indoor and outdoor parking lots and various event venues. However, if the inside of the cone portion of the cone is hollow, there is no method for confirming the object from the outside even if an object is installed therein, which is dangerous and inconvenient for safety measures. If terrorist acts occur frequently around the world like nowadays, it is a problem from the viewpoint of safety measures that even if dangerous goods are placed in the hollow in the conical section, they cannot be confirmed from the outside. However, lifting the deployed cones one by one is not only cumbersome and cumbersome, but it was also a problem from a safety standpoint that the detonator could be activated by lifting. .

  Also, when used at various event venues, the displayed contents differ, but it is uneconomical and inconvenient to change the cone each time.

  Furthermore, when used at night in a dark place with little or no illumination, it was necessary to eliminate the inconvenience that the hollow of the conical portion could not be confirmed.

  The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and one object of the present invention is to provide a safe cone that can be confirmed without touching the inside of the hollow in the conical portion from the outside. .

  Another object of the present invention is to enable the inside of a hollow in a conical portion to be easily confirmed from the outside even when used in a place where there is little or no illumination.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a display method that can be quickly updated even if the event venue is changed and the display content is updated.
Still other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description.

  The see-through type cone of the present invention is provided with an opening through which the inside can be seen through around the center of the conical part so that the hollow inside of the conical part can be seen through from four directions. Depending on the size of the opening, a blind spot occurs at two places, but it is preferable to provide three or more openings. However, if the area ratio of the opening is increased, the fluoroscopic cone is weakened by pressing from the top, bottom, left and right, and the strength and durability are reduced. Therefore, the area of the opening may be limited to 25% or less of the surface area of the fluoroscopic cone body. desirable. In the perspective cone of the present invention, the periphery of the opening is edge-bent and a hinge portion is provided to prevent a reduction in strength of the perspective cone body. The hinge portion provided at the opening of the cone withstands an external force applied to the periphery of the opening, thereby contributing to prevention of a decrease in strength of the cone body. The see-through cone with an appropriate opening can see through the hollow inside the cone, so if there is a dangerous object inside the see-through cone, it can be seen through from the outside and is effective as a security product to prevent terrorism It is a thing.

  The fluoroscopic cone of the present invention is fitted with a lighting device using a solar cell as a power source in a fitting port provided at the top, and the hollow interior of the cone portion of the cone can be illuminated brightly, so that it is hollow even at night. Can be used as a security product for anti-terrorism measures. Moreover, the illuminating device that can be mounted simply by being fitted to the fitting port is detachable, and can be used according to the application, which is convenient.

  The fluoroscopic cone of the present invention is a method of displaying necessary items by a display body carrying display contents. Therefore, when the event venue is changed and the display contents are updated, it is completed by simply replacing the display body with the updated display contents. So economical. The display body is a cylindrical truncated cone having an upper surface and a lower surface opened, and is used by being mounted on a see-through cone body.

The perspective cone of the present invention is
