BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a road marking device for a motorway.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Marking lines marked on the road surface of a motorway include various marking lines such as a white line and a yellow line. For example, the lane marking specifies the traffic division on the road surface,
It guides the driver's line of sight and plays an important role in the safe driving of a car. Therefore, it is indispensable to be fully visible even when driving at night in the rain.

However, a marking line such as a normal white line has extremely low visibility when it is raining at night, and sometimes it is completely invisible. This is because the rainwater film forms a mirror surface on the road surface, and most of the light rays from the headlights of the automobile are reflected in the opposite direction. Therefore, as a measure to enhance the visibility during nighttime rainfall, the conventional method shown in Fig. 17 and Fig.
Measures such as those shown in 18 have been taken.

That is, FIG. 17 shows marking lines such as marking lines on the road surface 1.
At the position corresponding to 2, a mountain-shaped indicator 3 with a triangular cross-section made of metal or plastic is provided, and on the inclined surfaces on both sides of this indicator 3, the reflection part 4 for reflecting the light beam from the headlight is laterally arranged. It was formed in. In addition, FIG. 18 shows that the strip-shaped mat 5 is provided with a large number of independent protrusions.
5 is attached to the marking line 2 on the road surface 1 with an adhesive.

[0005]

All of the conventional devices have the following problems. That is, the indicator 3 in FIG.
Since the amount of protrusion from the vehicle is large, a large impact occurs when the wheel rides on the indicator 3. Therefore, not only is the riding comfort of the automobile impaired, but if the driver suddenly gets on the bicycle, he or she may receive a large shock and may accidentally drive the vehicle to cause an accident.

[0006] Further, the indicator 3 is easily detached from the road surface due to the impact when the wheels are ridden and lacks durability. In addition, when the indicator 3 is detached from the road surface 1, the indicator 3 is scattered on the road surface 1 and the vehicle travels. Since it becomes an obstacle, there is a big problem in terms of road management. On the other hand, in the case of the mat 5 of FIG. 18, since water easily collects on the upper surface of the mat 5 and the drainage property is poor, a sufficient reflection effect cannot be obtained due to the water film, and there is a drawback that the visibility is poor. The present invention has been made in view of the above technical problems.In addition to improving visibility during nighttime rain, the wheels have little impact when riding and are excellent in durability, and even when they are separated from the road surface. An object of the present invention is to provide a road marking device for a motorway that does not hinder the running of the car.

[0007]

According to the present invention as set forth in claim 1, at a position of a marking line 11 on a road surface 10, light from a car 16 traveling on the road surface 10 is reflected to the car 16 side. In a road marking device on a motorway in which a marking member 12 is provided via a mounting base 13 so as to emit light, a mounting base 13 having substantially the same length as the width of the marking line 11 is provided at a required interval in the traveling direction of the automobile 16. In addition, a plurality of marking members 12 are provided on each mounting base 13 and each of which includes an elongated protruding marking member 12 in a direction intersecting the traveling direction.
Are arranged substantially linearly in a direction intersecting the traveling direction over substantially the entire length of the mounting base 13.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the road marking device for a motorway according to the first aspect, the end edge of the mounting base 13 along the longitudinal direction is formed in a zigzag shape.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the road marking device for a motorway according to the first aspect, each mounting base 13
Are connected by a thin connecting member 19.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the road marking device for a motorway according to the first aspect, the mounting base 13 and the marking member 12 are integrally formed of the same material.

[0011]

[Function] When driving at night, the light from the car 16 is used as a marking member.
When the light is irradiated to 12, the light is reflected by the marking member 12 toward the automobile 16 side, and the marking member 12 emits substantially linearly with high brightness over substantially the entire width of the marking line 11. And the marking member 12 is an automobile
Since there are a large number in the 16 traveling directions, each marking member 12
It appears to be continuous in the running direction. Therefore, the marking line 11 can be visually recognized over the entire surface even when traveling at high speed.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 8 illustrate a first embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, 10 is a road surface of a motorway, 11 is a marking line such as a white line, and the marking line 11 is shown by applying a predetermined paint on the road surface 10 in a band shape. 13 is a mounting base, and this mounting base 13 has substantially the same length as the width of the marking line 11, and at the position of the marking line 11 on the road surface 10, the longitudinal direction of the marking line 11 (the traveling direction of the vehicle). ) Are arranged at predetermined intervals. Then, on each mounting base 13, the longitudinal direction thereof is the width direction of the marking line 11 (the running direction of the motorway and In the state of being directed in a direction substantially orthogonal to each other, elongated projecting marking members 12 each having a length substantially the same as the width of the marking line 11 are arranged.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the marking member 12 is made of a soft polymer material such as rubber or plastic which is excellent in abrasion resistance and elasticity in a tube shape, and is attached thereto. It is attached by an adhesive 14 on the upper surface of the base 13. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the mounting base 13 is a road surface.
It is a reticulated polymer material such as rubber or plastic that fits easily in 10 and has excellent wear resistance, and has zigzag portions 13a at both end edges along its longitudinal direction. The mounting base 13 is attached to the marking line 11 with an adhesive 15. The marking member 12 and the mounting base 13
Is the same color as or close to the marking line 11.

With this structure, the marking line 11 on the road surface 10
Since the long and slender marking members 12 are arranged in the width direction of the marking line 11 on the upper surface of the mounting bases 13 arranged at a predetermined interval above, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. When the headlights 17 illuminate the front while the vehicle is running, the light rays strike the front side of each marking member 12 and are reflected to the automobile 16 side, as shown in FIG. Since the reflecting portion of the marking member 12 is a strip line having a length substantially the same as the width of the marking line 11, when viewed from the side of the automobile 16, the reflecting portion causes the marking member 12 to emit a high-luminance strip line. To do. Therefore, even when it is raining, the position of the marking line 11 can be easily visually recognized by the marking member 12 which emits light with high brightness in the form of a band.

Moreover, since the marking member 12 has substantially the same length as the width of the marking line 11 and a large number of the marking members 12 are provided at predetermined intervals in the traveling direction of the automobile 16, when traveling at night or the like. The band-shaped light-emitting marking member 12 having a length substantially the same as the width of the marking line 11 appears to be continuous in the traveling direction of the automobile 16. Therefore, the visibility of the marking line 11 is remarkably improved as compared with the conventional case even when traveling at high speed during rainfall at night.

In particular, since each marking member 12 emits light in the form of a strip line having a length substantially the same as the width of the marking line 11, the visibility of the marking line 11 is remarkably high even when driving at high speed during rainfall at night. From the improvement, since each marking member 12 can be arranged with a relatively large interval along the longitudinal direction of the marking line 11, rainwater that falls on the marking line 11 between the adjacent marking members 12 at the time of rainfall is always It will be drained quickly in either the left or right direction, and the drainage property will be very good.

Therefore, each marking member 12 is attached to the mounting base 13
Combined with the fact that it is protruding from, the surface of the marking member 12 is a degree of film formation by rainwater, unless there is a considerable amount of rain, each marking member 12 will not be completely submerged,
Visibility will not be significantly impaired by rainfall. By the way, it is assumed that the viewpoint is 30 m forward, and each marking member 12 is
It is appropriate that the protrusion amount of each of the marking members 12 is about 2 mm when they are provided at intervals of cm, and about 4 mm when they are provided at intervals of 20 cm. in this way,
If the spacing between the marking members 12 is reduced, the amount of protrusion of the marking members 12 can be reduced, but the amount of protrusion may be determined in consideration of the rainfall amount or the drainage property of the place.

Each of the marking members 12 has substantially the same length as the width of the marking line 11 and is elongated and projecting in a direction intersecting the traveling direction of the automobile, and has elasticity, so that the marking line 11 can be used at night.
Although the visibility of the vehicle is significantly improved, even if the wheels run up while the vehicle is running, the marking member 12 does not cause a large impact and causes an accident due to the impact. There is no such thing. On the contrary, since the marking member 12 receives only small vibrations, the driver can be informed that he is riding on the marking line 11 and can be alerted.

The marking member 12 is on the marking line 11,
Moreover, since it has a long and thin tube shape and receives little external force from the wheels, the marking member 12 does not separate from the road surface 10 and has excellent durability. Even if the marking member 10 is separated from the road surface 10 due to deterioration over time, the marking member 10
Since it is a long and narrow cord with a width of about 11, there is no fear of hindering the safe running of the car. Therefore, there are no road management problems.

Further, since the marking member 12 is adhered to the road surface 10 via the mounting base 13 by adhesion, the peeling resistance is improved and there is no fear of peeling easily. Moreover, since the mounting base 13 has the zigzag portions 13a on both sides, the size of the mounting base 13 in the width direction can be increased while the area of the mounting base 13 is reduced, so that the adhesiveness and peeling resistance are further improved. .

7A to 7D show a second embodiment of the present invention. 7A shows the mounting base 13 with one end edge in the longitudinal direction made straight and the zigzag portion 13a provided at the other end edge, and FIG. 7B shows the zigzag portion 13a of the mounting base 13. Is provided at the middle portion of the other end edge in the longitudinal direction. 7C shows the mounting base 13 in a rectangular shape, and FIG. 7D shows the mounting base 13 in a rectangular blind plate shape, and the marking member 12 is made of natural fiber or synthetic material. Each is shown using a fibrous twisted string.

As described above, the shape and structure of the mounting base 13 can be variously changed, and the marking member 12 may be a tube-shaped member or a twisted string-shaped member.
You may use solid thing, such as circular cross section or polygon.
8 and 9 show a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the marking member 12
A long and narrow chain 17 is used as and is attached to the attachment base 13 with a clip 18. The chain 17 may be made of metal, rubber or plastic. And the chain
The adhesive 17 may be hardened with an adhesive, or may be fixed to the mounting base 13 with a clip 18, and then the entire adhesive 17 may be hardened with an adhesive so as not to move.

10 and 11 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which each mounting base 13 is connected by a connecting member 19. That is, as shown in FIG. 10, both ends of each mounting base 13 are connected by a thread-shaped thin connecting member 19. At the time of construction, as shown in FIG. 11, each mounting base 13 connected by the connecting member 19 is temporarily placed at the position where the marking line 11 should be marked, and after adjusting the position, each mounting base 13 is bonded with the adhesive 15 To be stuck on the road surface 10. Then, after that, paint 20 is applied from above the marking member 12, the mounting base 13 and the connecting member 19 so as to completely cover the marking member 12, and the marking line 11 is marked.

In this way, since the mounting bases 13 are connected to each other through the connecting members 19, the mounting bases
Construction when attaching 13 to the road surface 10 becomes easy. Further, since the marking member 12, the mounting base 13 and the connecting member 19 are protected by the paint 20 for the marking line 11, the durability is improved. Moreover, since the connecting member 19 is thin like a thread, drainage is not impaired even if both ends of the mounting base 13 are connected by this.

12 and 13 show a fifth embodiment of the present invention in which each mounting base 13 and the connecting member 19 are integrally molded. The connecting member 19 is at the center of the mounting base 13, but if it is for the center line used at the top of the road surface 10,
Since both the left and right ends of the are low, even if the mounting base 13 has the same thickness, there is no problem in drainage. In this case, the mounting base 13 and the like may be attached on the marking line 11, or may be attached to the road surface 10 and then covered with paint for the marking line 11.

FIG. 14 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention, in which a thin sheet material is used as the mounting base 13, the marking member 12 is curved and adhered so as to project upward, and the mounting base 13 is bonded to the road surface. The adhesive line 15 is attached on the marking line 11 of 10. By doing so, the marking member 12 can be protected by the mounting base 13. Even in this case, the mounting base 13 is attached to the road surface 10, and the paint for the marking line 11 is applied from the upper side.
You may apply 20.

15 and 16 show a seventh embodiment of the present invention in which the marking member 12 and the mounting base 13 are integrally molded of the same material. In this way, the marking member 12
Is more difficult to leave. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and for example, the adhesive 15 or the like is applied to the mounting base side in advance, and the release paper is peeled off at the time of construction to attach the base 13 to the road surface 10. May be attached. Of course, various design changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
