Description

  The present invention relates to a gaze guidance mark, and more particularly, to a gaze guidance sign that is attached to a curbstone, a protective fence, or other road incidental equipment installed in the vicinity of a road and contributes to road users' traffic safety. It is.

  Conventionally, it is installed on curbs, roads, protective fences and other road-related facilities, and is equipped with light-reflective members to guide the line of sight to road users such as vehicle drivers. A gaze guidance mark for safety is widely used.

  A typical example of such a visual guidance indicator includes a guide specimen and a reflective member (so-called reflector, reflective sheet, etc.) attached to the guide specimen, and the reflective member includes glass beads and prisms. Some use a retroreflective member using a reflective sheet.

  Such a gaze guidance mark is highly likely to be damaged by deformation or drop-out due to contact with a passing vehicle or the like. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the guide specimen is composed of a member that can be elastically deformed, so that when the passing vehicle or the like comes into contact, the guide specimen is elastically deformed and is not damaged. Various ideas have been made (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 below).

JP 2002-121714 A JP 2002-206212 A

  These conventional gaze guidance marks are very effective for preventing damage caused by contact with a passing vehicle or the like. However, in such a conventional line-of-sight guide, it is necessary to use a flexible reflection sheet as the reflection member attached to the guide specimen. This is because the conventional gaze guidance mark is elastically deformed as a whole when the passing vehicle or the like comes into contact therewith, and the reflecting member needs to be deformed along with this elastic deformation. If a non-flexible reflecting member is used, if the guiding specimen is elastically deformed by contact with a passing vehicle or the like, the reflecting member is very likely to peel off from the guiding specimen or be damaged. .

  On the other hand, in general, a flexible reflective sheet needs to be thinly formed, and there are many inferior light reflection performances as compared with a reflector that does not have such restrictions and does not have flexibility. Therefore, in the conventional gaze guidance mark, since a reflective sheet is used, light reflection performance, in other words, visibility for road users, must be sacrificed to some extent.

  Further, in order to firmly fix the line-of-sight guide to the installation surface, fixing with anchor means (anchor bolts) is considered to be the most reliable and strong means. Depending on the person, it can cause inconvenience. That is, in this case, the anchor bolt is inserted into the anchor hole formed in the installation surface mounting portion of the line-of-sight guide and the anchor bolt is driven into the prepared hole formed in the installation surface, or the anchor bolt is provided. The line-of-sight guide is fixed to the installation surface by tightening the nut, but when the line-of-sight guide specimen is made of an elastically deformable member, the anchor bolt is driven too much or the nut is tightened too much. If this is the case, the installation surface mounting portion of the line-of-sight sample specimen around the anchor hole is crushed and greatly deformed. Then, even if there is no problem at the time of the above mounting operation, when the vehicle comes into contact with the line-of-sight guide mark, the installation surface mounting portion around the anchor hole is easily damaged, and as a result, There was a risk that the line-of-sight guide would fall off the installation surface.

  The present invention has been made to overcome the above-described problems, and can be easily mounted and installed not only when the installation surface is a flat surface but also a curved surface, and Even if the vehicle comes into contact with the gaze guidance mark, a gaze guidance mark that does not easily break the area around the anchor hole of the installation surface mounting part and does not cause the gaze guidance mark to fall off the installation surface. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a line-of-sight guide according to the present invention includes a guide specimen body and a reflecting member attached to the guide specimen body, and the guide specimen body is attached in contact with the installation surface. A mounting surface mounting portion formed of a member that can be elastically deformed and a reflecting member mounting portion to which a reflecting member is mounted to form a display unit, and an anchor bolt can be inserted into the mounting surface mounting portion. An anchor hole is formed, and a spacer disposed in the anchor hole is provided.

  According to the gaze guidance mark according to the present invention, since the bottom surface of the installation surface mounting portion is deformed along the shape of the installation surface, not only when the installation surface is a flat surface but also easily with a curved surface. It is possible to install and install. In addition, since the spacer is arranged in the anchor hole, the thickness dimension of the installation surface mounting portion around the anchor hole can be maintained at a predetermined size, thereby preventing the installation surface mounting portion from being damaged. can do. Even when the vehicle comes into contact with the line-of-sight guidance mark, the area around the anchor hole of the installation surface mounting portion is not easily damaged, and the line-of-sight guidance mark does not fall off the installation surface. In addition, since it can be applied to the installation surface of various shapes, it is not necessary to prepare guide specimens of various shapes and sizes in advance according to the shape of the installation surface of the gaze guidance mark. It becomes easy.

  In the line-of-sight guidance mark according to the present invention, the height of the spacer can be made substantially the same as the height of the anchor hole. If it does in this way, when a gaze guidance mark is firmly fixed to a to-be-installed surface using an anchor bolt, a gaze guidance mark is suitably attached, without rattling.

  Moreover, in the line-of-sight guide according to the present invention, the guide specimen includes a connection portion that connects the installation surface attachment portion and the reflection member attachment portion, and the connection portion is formed of an elastically deformable member. You may do it. In this way, since the elastically deformable connecting portion is provided between the installation surface attaching portion and the reflecting member attaching portion, the connecting portion is effective even when the passing vehicle contacts the line-of-sight guide. It is elastically deformed and does not damage the line-of-sight guide. Further, since the connecting portion is elastically deformed prior to the reflecting member attaching portion, there is an excellent effect that the reflecting member attached to the reflecting member attaching portion is not likely to be peeled off or damaged.

  Furthermore, in the line-of-sight guidance mark according to the present invention, the installation surface attachment portion, the connection portion, and the reflection member attachment portion are each formed by a plate-like member, and the connection portion and the reflection member attachment portion are the installation surface attachment portion. It may be provided so as to extend perpendicularly to. If it does in this way, since a connection part can be elastically deformed in the front-and-back surface direction, the effect of prevention of damage can be anticipated with respect to the contact of the vehicle etc. from the said front-and-back both sides.

  Further, in the line-of-sight guidance mark according to the present invention, protrusions may be formed on the front and back surfaces of the outer periphery of the reflection member mounting portion. In this way, the protrusion can directly protect the reflecting member from contact with the vehicle and the strength of the reflecting member mounting portion is increased. The one-layer connecting portion is elastically deformed in preference to the reflecting member mounting portion, and the visual guidance mark can be more effectively prevented from being damaged.

  Furthermore, in the line-of-sight guidance mark according to the present invention, a through-hole penetrating the front and back surfaces of the connection portion can be formed. In this way, the connecting portion can be easily elastically deformed with a simple configuration. Moreover, since the wind load with respect to a connection part is reduced, the useless elastic deformation of the connection part at the time other than the time of contact of a vehicle etc. can be prevented. Furthermore, since the raw material used for this gaze guidance mark can be reduced, it also contributes to resource saving. It is also possible to insert a resin or metal band or metal fitting into the through-hole and attach the line-of-sight guide to the installation surface with the band or metal fitting.

  As described above, according to the gaze guidance mark according to the present invention, the bottom surface of the installation surface mounting portion is deformed along the shape of the installation surface, so that the installation surface is not only a flat surface but also a curved surface. However, it can be easily installed and installed. In addition, since the spacer is arranged in the anchor hole, the thickness dimension of the installation surface mounting portion around the anchor hole can be maintained at a predetermined size, thereby preventing the installation surface mounting portion from being damaged. can do. Even when the vehicle comes into contact with the line-of-sight guidance mark, the area around the anchor hole of the installation surface mounting portion is not easily damaged, and the line-of-sight guidance mark does not fall off the installation surface. In addition, since it can be applied to the installation surface of various shapes, it is not necessary to prepare guide specimens of various shapes and sizes in advance according to the shape of the installation surface of the gaze guidance mark. It becomes easy.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of a gaze guidance mark according to the present invention and a state in which the gaze guidance mark is installed on a road surface using an anchor 7.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the line-of-sight guide 1 in this embodiment includes a guide specimen 2, a reflecting member 3, and a spacer 5 disposed in the anchor hole 211 of the line-of-sight guide specimen 2. ing. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the guide specimen 2 includes an installation surface attachment portion 21, a reflection member attachment portion 22, and a connection portion 23. The line-of-sight guide 1 is attached such that the bottom surface of the installation surface mounting portion 21 is in contact with the installation surface on the curb, on the road, or on a guard fence or other road accessory. In this embodiment, the installation surface mounting portion 21 is configured by an octagonal plate-like member in plan view. A plurality of anchor holes 211 penetrating the upper and lower surfaces are formed in the installation surface attachment portion 21, and the anchor method 211 can be used for attachment by the anchor method. Of course, it is also possible to attach by adhesive type using double-sided tape or adhesive, and by using the adhesive type in addition to the anchor method, it is possible to attach the gaze guidance mark 1 more firmly to the installation surface. Become.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the reflection member attachment portion 22 is composed of a plate-like member 221 that rises vertically from the installation surface attachment portion 21 via the connection portion 23. A protrusion 222 extending in the horizontal direction is formed. Thereby, as shown in FIG.6 and FIG.7, arbitrary side cross sections of the reflection member attaching part 22 are made into the shape of substantially "D".

  The reflective member 3 is attached to the recess 223 formed by the plate-like member 221 and the protrusion 222. The reflecting member 3 in this embodiment uses a retroreflective hard reflector 3, but instead of this, a soft reflector, a reflecting sheet, or the like may be applied as appropriate.

  The connection portion 23 connects the installation surface attachment portion 21 and the reflection member attachment portion 22 and is a plate-like member that rises perpendicularly from the installation surface attachment portion 21, and its upper edge is a reflection member attachment. It is formed integrally with the lower end edge of the portion 22. As shown in FIGS. 2, 6, 8, and the like, the connection portion 23 is formed with a plurality of through holes 231 penetrating the front and back surfaces thereof. Compared to the above, elastic deformation in the front and back direction (X and Y directions in FIG. 3) is facilitated.

  In addition, as above-mentioned, the reflective member attaching part 22 is provided with the protrusion 222, so that the reflecting member attaching part 22 is hardly elastically deformed in the X and Y directions. Therefore, this also makes the connecting portion 23 more easily elastically deformed than the reflecting member mounting portion 22.

  In this respect, in this embodiment, by forming the through-hole 231 as described above, the connecting portion 23 is more easily elastically deformed than the reflecting member attaching portion 22, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Absent. For example, instead of this, the connecting portion 23 may be made thinner than the reflecting member mounting portion 22, or the reflecting member mounting portion 22 and the connecting portion 23 may be formed of different materials, and the connecting portion. 23 may be configured with a more flexible member, or a combination of a plurality of the above configurations may be employed.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the installation surface attachment portion 21, the reflection member attachment portion 22, and the connection portion 23 are integrally formed of polyurethane resin, but are not limited thereto. The material is not limited to the polyurethane resin, and a synthetic resin material having flexibility other than polyvinyl chloride may be used, or a rubber material such as CR or EPDM may be used. Alternatively, the installation surface attaching portion 21, the reflecting member attaching portion 22, and the connecting portion 23 may be formed as separate bodies and then integrally connected. Furthermore, after installing the to-be-installed surface attaching part 21, the reflection member attaching part 22, and the connection part 23 separately from each other, these may be integrated.

  In addition, since the through hole 231 is formed in the connection portion 23, the wind load applied to the connection portion 23 is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reflection member mounting portion 22 from swinging due to unnecessary elastic deformation of the connection portion 23 due to strong winds or wind pressure due to vehicle passage.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the installation surface mounting portion 21 is also formed of urethane resin and has flexibility. Therefore, even if the installation surface on which the line-of-sight guide 1 is installed is a curved surface, the installation surface can be easily attached because the bottom surface of the installation surface mounting portion 21 is deformed along the curved surface shape. Therefore, it can be attached even if the installation surface on which the line-of-sight guide 1 is installed is not flat but curved. Moreover, since it can be applied to the installation surface of various shapes, it is not necessary to prepare the guide specimens 2 of various shapes in advance according to the shape of the installation surface of the line-of-sight guide 1, and management of inventory is easy. It becomes.

  3, 6, and 7, the upper end portion of the connection portion 23 (the lower end portion of the reflection member mounting portion) has a protrusion 222 that protrudes in a substantially horizontal direction on both the front and back surfaces. Is formed. By forming the protrusion 222, when a passing vehicle or the like comes into contact with the line-of-sight guide mark 1 and the connecting portion is greatly elastically deformed in the X direction or the Y direction, the lower end portion 222a of the protrusion 222 is It is made to contact | connect the upper surface of the to-be-installed surface attaching part 21, and the load by contact of a passing vehicle etc. is distributed by this. Further, in this embodiment, the protrusion 222 is also formed of a flexible member (urethane resin) like the connection portion 23, and the load due to the contact of the passing vehicle is more preferably dispersed. The mark 1 is more efficiently protected and can be prevented from being damaged.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, two anchor holes 211 are formed in the installation surface mounting portion 21 of the line-of-sight guide 1 having the above-described form. The anchor hole 211 can be arbitrarily changed according to the size, shape, and the like of the line-of-sight guide 1. The spacer 5 is disposed in the anchor hole 211. The spacer 5 is made of stainless steel in this embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 8, is a cylindrical tubular member provided with an anchor insertion hole 51 through which the anchor 7 can be inserted. The outer diameter of the spacer 5 is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the anchor hole 211, and the inner diameter of the anchor insertion hole 51 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the anchor 7 inserted into the anchor hole 211. It is made big.

  By installing the line-of-sight guide 1 as shown in FIG. 1 in a state where the spacer 5 is arranged in the anchor hole 211, when the anchor 7 is constructed, the anchor 7 has a peripheral portion of the anchor hole 211 in the installation surface mounting portion 21. It is possible to prevent the construction from being carried out in an excessively pressed state. In this regard, when the anchor 7 is constructed in a state where the peripheral portion of the anchor hole 211 in the installation surface mounting portion 21 is excessively pressed, the peripheral portion of the anchor hole 211 when the vehicle or the like comes into contact with the line-of-sight guide 1 May be damaged, and the line-of-sight guide 1 may fall off the installation surface.

  Therefore, the height dimension of the spacer 5 is substantially the same as the height dimension of the anchor hole 211 formed in the installation surface mounting portion 21 or slightly larger (higher) than the height dimension of the anchor hole 211. Is preferred.

  In this embodiment, the height dimension of the spacer 5 is set to be slightly larger than the height dimension of the anchor hole 211. Accordingly, in the installed state shown in FIG. A gap L is formed between the end surface 71 a and the upper surface of the installation surface mounting portion 21. By doing in this way, even when a vehicle or the like comes into contact with the gaze guidance mark 1, the gaze guidance mark 1 can be swung by the gap L, so that the gaze guidance mark 1 is easily damaged. Can be prevented.

  FIG. 1 shows a state where the line-of-sight guide mark 1 is being constructed. After the line-of-sight guide mark 1 and the anchor 7 are arranged in the state shown in FIG. When hitting from above, the sleeve portion 73 at the lower end spreads and the anchor 7 is fixed in position with respect to the installation surface. Then, by tightening the nut 71, the line-of-sight guide 1 is fixed to the installation surface.

  The spacer 5 may be integrated by fixing its outer peripheral surface to the inner peripheral surface of the anchor hole 211 in advance, or the spacer 5 may be separated from the guide specimen 2 and used during construction. The spacer 5 may be inserted into the anchor hole 211 and arranged. Further, the shape of the spacer 5 is not limited to the cylindrical shape as in this embodiment. For example, the cylindrical outer peripheral surface or the inner peripheral surface may be formed with irregularities, or it may be a cylindrical body with an irregular horizontal cross section. Alternatively, as long as it functions as a spacer in the same manner as in this embodiment, for example, a coil spring can be used.

  As described above, the line-of-sight guide mark according to the present invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The form and the like can be changed. That is, the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative in all respects, and does not serve as a basis for limited interpretation. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is not construed by only the above-described embodiments, but is defined based on the description of the scope of claims, and is within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.
