[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Display pillars are required to be installed so as not to impair the surrounding scenery and to be able to accurately transmit necessary information displayed on the display pillars. For this reason, the display columns have different colors and sizes depending on the purpose, location, display contents, and the like of the display columns, and the types thereof are also diversified. For example, the number of types of distance display columns, etc., which are mainly installed along roads for road management and indicate the distance from the starting point of the road, are different because the display of the distance is different for each product. .

However, in the conventional display column as described above, since the display and coloring are directly performed on the side surfaces of the columnar body, mass production is not possible, and it takes time and effort to manufacture, and the above-mentioned diversified types are required. I couldn't respond enough. Also, when changing the display contents of the display pillar after it is once installed,
It was necessary to replace every sign, which was a great deal of trouble.

Furthermore, since the above-mentioned display pillar has a normal display or coloring on the side surface of a columnar body made of a usual synthetic resin, metal, concrete, etc., the display becomes difficult to see at night, and it is difficult to see at night. He was also inferior. Therefore, in order to enhance the visibility at night, the display is printed on a reflective sheet, and the reflective sheet is attached to the side surface of the columnar body. However, the reflective sheet is very expensive, and the reflective sheet is attached. It was a great deal of trouble. Further, the reflecting sheet does not reflect unless it is irradiated with light, and its reflection brightness is low, so that it is inferior in visibility from a long distance and is not sufficient.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and makes it possible to easily change the display contents even after being manufactured and installed at a low cost in mass production and to provide a display with excellent nighttime visibility. A pillar will not be provided.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, in the display pillar according to the present invention, at least one side surface is notched so as to form an opening, and L-shaped holding edges are formed inwardly facing each other at both ends of the opening along the length direction. A hollow columnar body having an appropriate length, an illuminator mounted inside the columnar body so as to face the opening, and an upper end which is detachably inserted between the holding edges facing the opening and facing each other. The display body is formed of a translucent synthetic resin, and has a display body hooked on the upper edge of the columnar body, and a cap fitted to the upper end of the columnar body with the upper end of the display body sandwiched therebetween. Along with this, the display is illuminated from the back by the illuminator.

[0008]

In the display pillar of the present invention, at least one side surface of the hollow columnar body is cut out to form an opening, and the display body is removably inserted between holding edges formed at both ends of the opening. Since the display body is worn, the display content can be easily changed by removing the display body from the columnar body and replacing it, and the display body can be manufactured at low cost by mass production.

Further, in the display pillar of the present invention, since the display body is made of a translucent synthetic resin and the display body is illuminated from the back side by the illuminating device mounted in the column body, the visibility at night is improved. Excel.
