Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaze guidance signpost that allows a driver such as an automobile to visually recognize a road segment and guide a gaze in a safe traveling direction.

  Recently, on the curb that separates the sidewalk from the roadway, road studs have been provided at appropriate intervals, and the signpost body has been provided upright on the base to allow the driver to visually recognize the existence of the boundary. A gaze guidance sign is placed.

  However, these methods have an effect of making the driver visually recognize the boundary, but when traveling on a narrow road, the driver dislikes driving a car to a roadside, and there is a problem in safety.

JP-A-2004-76478

  Therefore, the present invention provides a gaze guidance sign pillar that has the effect of allowing a driver to clearly recognize a section of a road, to indicate a traveling direction, and to perform driving that is psychologically not too close to a roadside. That is the task.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and the invention according to claim 1 is a line-of-sight guidance signpost characterized in that a signpost body is provided on a base portion at an angle.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the marker pillar main body and the base are integrally formed of an elastically deformable flexible material. It is a pillar.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gaze guidance signpost according to the first or second aspect, wherein a sign tape is attached to the sign post body.

 According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the invention according to any one of the first to third aspects, the inclination of the signpost body provided on the base portion is configured to be variable. It is a pillar.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the gaze guidance signpost according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein a luminous body is provided on the signpost main body.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the signpost body is inclined, there is a pointing effect similar to that of the direction indicator, and the driver is guided by the line of sight to the inclined side. If the direction in which the vehicle is located is directed toward the side of the road, the pedestrian on the side of the sidewalk can feel more dangerous without moving the vehicle to the side of the road to increase safety. In addition, it can contribute as a guidance sign in the case of road construction and the like.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, even when the vehicle comes into contact with the vehicle, the signpost body and the base are integrally formed of a flexible material capable of elastic deformation, such as rubber or synthetic resin. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the marker pillar main body from being broken due to elastic deformation to absorb the impact.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since various types of marker tapes are commercially available, a gaze guidance marker suitable for the place of use can be provided at low cost. In addition, by using a retroreflective tape (or a retroreflective sheet) in the sign tape, an effective gaze guide sign pillar can be provided at low cost even at night.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the inclination angle of the signpost main body can be freely changed, it is possible to provide a line-of-sight guidance signpost suitable for use and an installation site.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the visibility at night can be improved by the luminous body. In addition, for example, by using an LED and a light sensor that responds when receiving light from a solar cell and a car or an LED lighting circuit that includes a brightness detection sensor as a light emitter, a small-sized light emitter that emits light at night is used. Can be obtained.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the first embodiment of the present invention in a use state. It is a front view of Example 2 of the present invention. It is a front view of Example 3 of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is a front view in a use state of a first embodiment of the present invention, and a gaze guidance sign column 1 according to the present invention is provided on a curb portion C1 of an L-shaped groove C provided at a boundary between a sidewalk A and a roadway B. This shows a case where the base 2 is fixed on the curb C1 and the signpost main body 3 provided on the base 2 is inclined and installed toward the roadway B. In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a marking tape with black and yellow stripes attached to the surface of the marking pillar main body 3. The sign post main body 3 and the base 2 are integrally formed of an elastically deformable flexible material such as rubber or synthetic resin. Although the length of the signpost body 3 is not particularly limited, in the case of the present embodiment, it is set to a length of 15 to 20 cm which does not come into contact with a car traveling on the road B.

  When the gaze guide signpost 1 according to the present invention is installed as in the present embodiment, the driver not only visually recognizes the boundary between the sidewalk A and the road B, but also uses the inclined signpost main body 3 as if it were a direction indicator. The driver's psychological effect, suppress the driving approaching to the sidewalk A side, and obtain the effect of improving the safety compared to the conventional gaze guide sign pillar provided upright on the base. Can be. In addition, when the gaze guide sign pillar 1 according to the present invention is used at a construction site, the driver can recognize the detour without receiving an arrow or an instruction from a guide. In addition, since the line-of-sight guidance signpost 1 of the first embodiment has the signpost main body 3 and the base 2 integrally formed of an elastically deformable flexible material, the vehicle comes into contact with the signpost main body 3. However, it is possible to prevent breakage.

  FIG. 2 shows a front view of the gaze guidance sign post 100 having good night visibility according to the present invention, in which a retroreflective tape 5 is affixed to the sign post main body 3 as a sign tape (or a sign sheet). This line-of-sight guidance signpost 100 has the same function as the line-of-sight guidance signpost 1 shown in the first embodiment, and reflects the light of the light of the car by the retroreflective tape 5 at night, so that the driver has high visibility. Property is obtained.

  FIG. 3 shows a front view of a third embodiment of the present invention. The visual guidance signpost 10 is provided with a spring-loaded ball joint 12 at the lower end of a signpost main body 11 made of a hard synthetic resin or the like. It is configured to be mounted on the base 13 so that the inclination of the signpost main body 11 can be changed. In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a marking tape with black and yellow stripes attached to the surface of the marking pillar main body 11, and reference numeral 15 denotes a luminous body attached to the upper end of the marking pillar main body 11.

 The luminous body 15 includes an LED lighting circuit including an LED, a photovoltaic cell, and a brightness detection sensor that responds when receiving a light from an LED, a solar cell, and a car. The sensor reacts to cause the LED to emit light, so that the driver can recognize the presence of the illuminant itself as a marker, and illuminates the visual guidance sign post 10 to improve the function as a sign at night. The light-emitting body 15 is not limited to the structure of this embodiment as long as it emits light.
