Description

The present invention relates to a cone bar storage mechanism for storing a cone bar in a road cone (so-called color cone: registered trademark), which is a safety device.

When road cones and cone bars are lined up alternately, when construction vehicles enter and exit, it is necessary to move the road cones and cone bars to ensure "space for construction vehicles to enter and exit."

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5(A), one load cone 50 and two cone bars 60, 60 on both sides thereof are moved, and as shown in FIG. 5(B), , space for construction vehicles 70 (2t to 4t trucks, etc.) to enter and exit is secured.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6(A), when the construction vehicle 71 becomes large (such as a 10-ton class truck), a load cone 50 is installed as shown in FIG. 6(B) to secure space. 2 pieces and 3 cone bars 60 will be moved.

At this time, if you hold the removed cone bar in your hand, it will get in the way of guidance, so in most cases you will just throw it away and leave it on the road.

In that case, the following problems arise.
(1) When a cone bar is placed on its side on the road, a step approximately 4 cm thick (the diameter of the cone bar) becomes a step, which poses a risk for pedestrians and bicycles to fall.
(2) By placing the cone bar on its side on the road, the bar with a length of approximately 1.5m to 2.0m (the length of the cone bar) ``takes up space'' on the road. Therefore, there is a risk of obstructing the progress of pedestrians and bicycles.
(3) When moving the road cone and cone bar, the load cone is held in one hand and the cone bar is held in the other, so both hands are occupied. When blowing a horn or using a hand signal to warn people of danger, they have to let go of one of their hands, which delays the action to warn them of danger.
(4) By placing the cone bar on the road, it gets dirty with dirt, sand, rainwater, etc., making the work site look bad.
(5) Corn bars are easily broken because they are "thrown and placed on the road."
(6) Corn bars on the road are blown away and scattered when the wind blows.

On the other hand, although the problem is slightly different from the above-mentioned problem, Patent Document 1 has a problem that ``When attaching a cone bar to a triangular cone, it takes time and effort to take out the cone bar one by one from the work vehicle. There was a problem that the cone bar was long and difficult to take out from the work vehicle. Furthermore, when working while holding a plurality of cone bars on the road, there is a problem in that the cone bars may be dropped. Dropping a corn bar on a busy roadway is extremely dangerous. ” (Patent Document 1 Detailed Description of the Invention [0005] and [0006]) In order to solve the problem, an invention is disclosed in which a cone bar tape (tape-shaped cone bar) is built into a triangular cone (road cone). ing.

JP2020-84523A

The invention of Patent Document 1 solves the problem by incorporating the cone bar tape into the triangular cone, but in order to incorporate the cone bar tape into the triangular cone, a windable cone bar tape is used instead of a general hard cone bar. In addition, since the cone bar tape is built into the triangular cone, it has the disadvantage that it cannot be stacked (= realizing compact storage, storage, and transportation), which is one of the characteristics (convenience) of triangular cones.

In response to this, the inventor of the present application has made repeated studies with the aim of solving the above problems while using the hard cone bars that are currently widely used as they are. As a result, they arrived at the idea of ``storing the cone bar in an upright position'' in the road cone, and completed the present invention.
