Description

  The present invention relates to a column for standing various signs typified by road traffic guide signs (hereinafter referred to as “signs”). More specifically, the signs are used to pass floats, lamps, etc. on roads. The present invention relates to a support column that can be easily prevented by changing the direction of a sign when disturbing.

In the case of road traffic guide signs, there are many installation examples in which a pillar is set up along a road and a square sign board is attached to the pillar in a cantilever state.
In the case of such a large sign, the height of the support is about 5 to 6 m, and a sign mounting bar of about 2 to 3 m is horizontally mounted on the road from the upper end of the support, For example, a sign board having a width of about 2 m and a height of about 1.5 m is attached.

The signs installed in this way do not interfere with normal traffic, but the signs may obstruct traffic in the following cases.
1. When the height of the festival float reaches the sign board.
Conventionally, in such a case, the sign board and the support column are once removed from the foundation and laid down, and then rebuilt immediately after the float has passed.
However, removing the sign board one by one in this way costs 50 to 60,000 yen each time, and in the case of a festival several times a day and 2-3 days, it is enormous to remove the sign board Cost money.
In addition, for example, in the case of a lantern, the sign board is surely obstructive.

2. When a large special vehicle or the height of the load reaches the sign board.
Conventionally, if there is such a danger, if the notification is made in advance to the municipality, etc., the sign board is removed along with the struts as in the case of the float above, but it passes without delivery and the sign board is damaged. There is an example of running away. Thus, one of the reasons for escaping is that, as mentioned above, the cost for removing the sign board is high.

3. The sign board is installed so as to face the road-passing vehicle. However, when the road is changed, it is necessary to remove the column itself and change the direction of the sign board. It takes.
4). Changing the height of the signboard is expensive because the entire support, including the foundation, will be replaced.

From the above viewpoint, there is a proposal of a movable sign board. One of these is "moving the sign board illuminating lamp and bringing it close to the position of the walkway installed on the sign board support, which enables work on the walkway and eliminates work on the road under traffic regulations. As a type of signboard illumination lamp, a support plate fixed to the upper part of the column is provided with a marker plate and a repair gallery, and a recumbent support column vertically installed on the support has a rotating shaft. A bubo is inserted, and an illuminating lamp is attached to the tip of the bubo.When repairing or replacing the illuminating lamp, move the buoy on the stairs to bring the illuminating lamp closer to the stairs, and on the stairs. The contents are “so that work can be performed” (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-318825).
However, this sign board is not a structure that avoids the obstacles to the passage of the aforementioned floats and the like.

Next, as a viewing angle adjustment type road sign post, “Without requiring large-scale work, keep the road incidental equipment with the structure attached to the column away from the road user's view when it becomes unnecessary. As a road angle adjustment type road incidental facility that can be used, a rotating means is provided in the middle of the column, and the column is rotated by using the rotating unit to adjust the viewing angle of the column and the structure to enter the field of view of the road user. If the angle is difficult, the column and the structure can be moved away from the road user's field of view.The rotation means provided in the middle of the column is used to adjust the field of view, so the column, "It doesn't require a lot of work to move the structure away, and when it is needed again, it can be easily returned to its original position by rotating the struts using rotating means." There are things that have been JP 2003-147733 JP).
However, since this sign post cannot escape the sign side strut protruding on the road from the road, if this becomes an obstacle, it is necessary to remove the post itself as before, There is a problem similar to the conventional example.
