  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. FIG. 1 is a front view of the display according to the present invention in use, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the form of the optical display according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is the upper end portion of the display according to the present invention. 4 is a side view of a display device according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a side view of the main portion of the upper end portion of the display device according to the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of the weight according to the present invention, FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a use form of the process from the retracted state to the unfolded state of the display according to the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a display according to the present invention. It is explanatory drawing of the barricade comprised in the connection state of a container.

  In order to improve the visibility from a distance, the present invention is implemented as a particularly large display, and as will be described later, by using an inflator, an air expansion type that can be assembled immediately. It is an indicator. Moreover, a barricade is comprised by connecting the display of the same structure disclosed by this invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the display of the present invention includes an air chamber that can be inflated mainly by injecting air therein, and has an upper end at the top and a lower end having a side parallel to the installation surface. A triangular cylinder 1 that is erected and an air chamber that is inflatable in the same manner as the triangular cylinder 1 and is connected to the back side of the top of the triangular cylinder 1 so that the lower end is horizontal with respect to the installation surface. It is comprised from the support cylinder 2 of the substantially V shape standing with a long side.

  Each of the cylinders 1.2 may be formed by installing a separate tube constituting the expansion chamber in a cylindrical body such as cloth, but it is simpler and less expensive. In the configuration, the cylindrical body 1.2 itself may be a synthetic resin tube. Each cylindrical body 1.2 is formed as an independent or continuous air chamber, and a metal weight for stably standing is provided at the bottom of the lower end.

  In the display shown in the embodiment, each of the cylinders 1.2 is formed as a separate body, and an air inlet is formed in a part of each cylinder 1.2 and can be sealed by a valve body. A simple connection port. In the illustrated example, an inflator 7 is connected to this connection port via the manifold 6 through the same introduction path. The inflator 7 is formed of a cylinder or the like that releases carbon dioxide gas by pulling out a ball valve connected to the string material, and when used, the inflator 7 is expanded by pulling the string material. In addition, each cylinder 1.2 is provided with a supply / discharge port 9 different from the connection port with the inflator 7 so that air can be introduced into the cylinder 1.2 even when the inflator 7 is not used, Replenishment is possible when the amount of air supplied from the inflator 7 is insufficient.

  Each cylindrical body 1.2 configured as described above is compressed and reduced when stored, and when the inflator 7 is operated, it expands as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. become. Therefore, the triangular cylinder 1 and the upper end of the substantially V-shaped support cylinder are configured to be detachably attached via a surface fastener 8 as shown in FIG.

  In addition, the display device of the present invention has an adverse effect of preventing instantaneous expansion by sandwiching the support cylinder 2 in the space portion of the trunk of the triangular cylinder 1 while being expanded from compression or reduction. In order to eliminate this, the mesh body 4 is closed. In addition, this net | network body 4 is a structure for reducing the air resistance from a front direction by distribute | circulating air, By this, the indicator of this invention can be erected stably also at the time of a strong wind. It is.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the front surface of the body portion of the triangular cylindrical body 1 is covered with an optical display portion having a triangular base cloth. This is for the following reason. That is, in general, when the triangular cylindrical body 1 is manufactured from a cloth (synthetic fiber) having a certain fiber structure, in the two sides of the triangular cylindrical body 1 due to its external shape, the fiber direction Will be formed diagonally. Therefore, even if air is evenly introduced into the interior, this portion is made to be distorted due to the nature of the fibers. Therefore, the optical display portion 10 related to display is formed with a separate cloth or the like, and a surface fastener or the like is used. In the present invention, a member 11 that directly covers the cylindrical body 1 and a member 12 that is laminated on the member 11 and maintained in a complete triangular shape are further configured.

  A display band 5 indicating a message such as “accident” is attached from above these members. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the optical display unit 10 includes a phosphorescent material, a reflective material, or a base fabric formed of a visually conspicuous color, and an electrical light emitter 13 attached to the base fabric. (In the embodiment, the LED is a line light source).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the weight 3 attached to the lower surface of each cylindrical body 1.2 is formed by storing iron or the like in a dedicated bag or the like, and the surface of each cylindrical body 1.2 having a predetermined width in the vertical direction. Is attached via a surface fastener 8. This is made possible by using a hook and loop fastener so that, in particular, it does not interfere with the expansion of the cylindrical body 1.2 during assembly, and after the expansion, it is possible to attach a heavier and appropriate weight. This is because the mounting surface is devised as a structure that can withstand the load in the direction of gravity.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the present invention is provided with a portable bag 15 such as a shoulder bag for storing the respective constituent members in a contracted state. Thereby, in normal times, each structural member concerning this invention can be accommodated in the bag body 15, and it can take out from the bag body 15 and can be used in emergency. Note that the bag body 15 itself can also function as a weight by fixing the inflator 6 having at least weight to the bag body 15.

  FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the display of the present invention. In this example, a connecting portion 16 made of a hook-and-loop fastener or the like is formed at the top of the triangular cylindrical body 1. Then, the barricade is configured by connecting the connecting portions 16 with a belt-like body 17 to form a plurality of sets.

  In addition, when using the cylinder 1.2 of this invention independently, it is also possible to use it as a floating bag. In particular, as shown in FIG. 9, in the case of a triangular cylindrical body 1, it is used in the same manner as a general donut-shaped general floating bag by not providing the net body 4 or detachably forming it. It is possible to apply this device in the event of an accident in a river or sea.

The invention's effect

  In the present invention, it is possible to assemble a display device by a simple operation of storing it in a bag and storing it in a predetermined place such as a vehicle during normal times and taking it out and operating an inflator in an emergency. In addition, the display device of the present invention can install a barricade by connecting a plurality of devices in an extremely simple operation, and is soft overall and excellent in buffering properties using air. Therefore, it functions as a safe and flexible barricade for layout design even when used on general roads. The display installed in this way can improve visibility by using the light emitting function, but it can be implemented as a large structure without using it, so it is much more remarkable than a conventional small display. This is an epoch-making invention that not only has excellent visual effects but also can realize them at low cost. Furthermore, the display device of the present invention is excellent in applicability such that an independent cylinder can be used as a lifesaving device similar to a floating bag.
