  However, in such a sign post, since the reflector is directed only in one direction, it is necessary to adjust the direction of the reflector so that it can be easily seen by road or port users at the time of construction. It was necessary.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and does not provide a sign post that can be easily constructed while ensuring visibility from road or port users regardless of the installation direction. It is what.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, in the sign post according to the present invention, a plurality of wide reflectors are attached to each outer plane of the substantially regular polygonal column, and a plurality of light emitter units or thin cells are attached to each corner of the substantially regular polygonal column. The width reflector is attached so as to cover the corner portion.

  Further, on each outer plane of the substantially regular polygonal column, a pair of holding pieces capable of engaging a wide reflector are provided in the longitudinal direction so as to oppose both side edges of the outer plane, and the substantially regular columnar column is provided. Each corner has a groove which is provided with a pair of holding pieces into which a light emitting unit or a narrow reflector can be engaged, and which protrudes from the opening edge. It is.

  According to the marker column according to the present invention, a plurality of reflectors are attached to each outer plane of the substantially regular polygonal column, and a plurality of light emitter units or reflectors are provided at each corner of the substantially regular polygonal column. Are attached so as to cover the corners, the reflectors or light-emitting units are arranged almost entirely around each corner of the substantially regular polygonal column effectively. When installing such a sign post, road or harbor users can view the sign post from any direction even if it is installed without paying special attention to the installation direction.

  Further, on each outer plane of the substantially regular polygonal column, a pair of holding pieces into which a wide reflector can be engaged are provided so as to protrude in the longitudinal direction opposite to both side edges of the outer plane, and the substantially regular polygon column In each corner, a pair of holding pieces into which the light emitter unit or the narrow reflector can be engaged are provided with concave grooves projecting opposite to each other from the opening edge. Since the light emitting unit can be inserted and engaged in the longitudinal direction, the marker column can be easily assembled. In addition, by selecting a member engaged with each outer plane and corner from a reflector or a light-emitting unit, a reflective marker column or a light-emitting marker column can be formed using the same substantially regular polygonal column. Since it can be formed, it is not necessary to have a plurality of substantially regular polygonal columns.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best embodiment according to the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the substantially regular polygonal column of FIG.

  1 is a cylindrical substantially regular polygonal support, 2 is a holding piece projecting oppositely in the longitudinal direction at both end edges of each outer plane of the substantially regular polygonal support 1, and 3 is substantially positive A concave groove having a holding portion provided at each corner of the polygonal column 1, 4 is a wide reflector inserted into and held by the holding piece 2, and 5 is inserted into the concave groove 3. The narrow reflector, which is narrower than the wide reflector 4, is locked, and a cap 6 is attached to the upper end of the substantially regular polygonal column 1, and the marker column 10 is erected on the ground.

  The wide reflector 4 that is inserted between the holding pieces 2 and is arranged continuously above and below the substantially regular polygonal column 1 is regulated in the left-right direction by the holding pieces 2, and further, the lowermost wide reflector 4. A stopper (not shown) is provided at the lower edge, and at the same time, the cap 6 is crowned on the upper end of the substantially regular polygonal column 1 so that the upper edge of the uppermost wide reflector 4 is in contact with the cap 6 so that the upper and lower The displacement is regulated and fixed. Further, the narrow reflector 5 is also regulated in the left-right direction by the concave groove 3 and vertically regulated by the cap 6 and a stopper (not shown), and fixed in the same manner as the wide reflector 4. . Therefore, the corners of the substantially regular polygonal column 1 are covered with the narrow reflector 5.

  When forming the marker column 10, the substantially regular polygonal column 1 is formed so that the wide reflector 4 and the narrow reflector 5 can be inserted between the holding pieces 2 and the groove 3 from above. Therefore, the marker column 10 can be formed simply by inserting the wide reflector 4 and the narrow reflector 5. Moreover, if the length of the substantially regular polygonal column 1 is adjusted, and the wide reflector 4 and the narrow reflector 5 of the corresponding quantity are inserted and fixed as described above, the height of the marker column 10 is increased to some extent. It can be changed freely.

  As the substantially regular polygonal support 1, a hollow one formed by extrusion molding a thermoplastic synthetic resin such as an aluminum alloy or polypropylene is preferably used. The wide reflector 4 and the narrow reflector 5 are prisms in which a large number of reflective element groups are formed, and a thin film of metal such as aluminum is laminated on the back surface of the reflective element groups by a metal vapor deposition method or the like. A synthetic resin molding may be used. If a self-luminous unit using a light emitting diode or the like is formed into a shape that can be inserted and locked into the concave groove portion 3 and is inserted into the concave groove portion instead of the narrow reflector 5, one type of substantially positive The polygonal pillar 1 can be used to form a reflective marker column and a light-emitting marker column.

  As described above, by forming the marker column 10 in such a structure, the wide reflector 4 or the narrow reflector 5 (or the light emitting unit) is arranged on substantially the entire circumference using each corner of the substantially regular polygonal column 1 effectively. Therefore, even if it is installed without paying special attention to its installation direction, the sign post 10 can be viewed from any direction, which is preferable.

It is a front view which shows one Embodiment of the marker pillar which concerns on this invention. It is sectional drawing of the substantially regular polygonal support | pillar shown in FIG.
