Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sign for identifying information such as the type, the number, the burial depth, and the direction of pipes buried underground on the ground surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In this type of conventional sign, a concrete block is placed on the surface above a pipe or the like buried in the ground, and information on the pipe or the like buried with paint is displayed on the block. .

[0003]

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] When repair work or extension work is performed after burying a pipeline or the like, it is necessary to dig up the ground. At that time, the block is moved or removed once, and after the improvement work is completed, the block is returned to the original position. In this case, the conventional sign often causes troubles such as placing the block in an incorrect position, forgetting to return the block, and losing the block. Furthermore, if the block is not placed in the correct position, another construction work may cut off a previously buried pipe or the like.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides an identification means for displaying the type, the number, the burial depth, etc., of a pipe or a wire buried underground, and the identification means and the buried underground. An object of the present invention is to provide an embedment mark including a connecting means for connecting a pipe or a wire, etc., so that the embedding position of the pipe or the like can be correctly identified.

[0005]

In the sign according to the present invention, the identification means is directly connected to the pipe or the like by the connecting means, so that information on the pipe or the like can be correctly recognized.

[0006]

1 and 2 show an example of the use of a buried sign according to the present invention. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a pipeline buried underground, and a predetermined number of wires, such as a power cable, an optical fiber, and a general communication cable, are provided therein. However, the present invention may be applied to a case where a wire is directly buried in the ground.

Reference numeral 2 denotes identification means for displaying information such as the type and number of wires contained in the pipeline and the burial depth. This embodiment exemplifies an identification plate on which information on the surface is described. . This identification plate is laid on the ground surface above a buried pipe or the like.

Reference numeral 3 denotes connecting means for connecting the identification means to a pipe or the like buried underground. In this embodiment, one end is wound around the pipe or the like and the other end is identified. It comprises a focusing band 3A fixed to the means (identification plate), and a fixed head 4 for fixing one end of the band wound around a conduit or the like and fixing the other end of the band to the identification plate. Details of the fixed head will be described later.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show details of the identification plate. The identification plate shown in FIG. 3 is disk-shaped, and has a plurality of dot-shaped grooves (marks) 2A on the surface and necessary character displays. In the illustrated embodiment, a set of grooves (carved marks) for displaying the burial depth of a pipe or the like and a set of grooves (carved marks) for displaying the number of wires or the like are provided. Punch or paint the grooves corresponding to the number of. The type of the wire can be identified by, for example, the color of the identification plate or the color of paint for painting the groove.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the identification plate. On the surface of the plate, a combination of a character display indicating the type of cable and a dot-shaped groove (carved mark), and two pairs of grooves (carved mark) 2A 'forming a figure 8 are provided. One pair is for displaying the burial depth of a pipeline or the like, and the other pair is for displaying the number of wires. The figure eight is composed of seven segments, and any number can be drawn by punching or painting the required segment. In each of the identification plates, a through hole 2B for passing a band is provided at the center thereof.
The band passing through the through hole is fixed to the identification plate by the fixing head.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show the details of the fixed head 4. FIG. The fixed head is provided with a pair of band insertion holes 4B and 4B in a plastic housing 4A, and a pair of bent metal claws 4C are provided in the housing so as to face the insertion holes (FIG. 5). reference). Band 5
The claw is inserted from below the insertion hole shown in the figure, and the claw is expanded outward with the insertion of the band. At this time, the band inserted into the insertion hole is fixed by the elasticity of the nail.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, such a fixed head is used at both ends of the band. One is for fixing the band around which the pipeline is wound, and the other is for fixing the band through which the identification plate placed on the ground surface is inserted.

In the above-described embodiment, the identification plate is placed directly on the ground, but the identification plate can be placed via a spacer. 7 and 8 show details of the spacer for that purpose, and FIGS. 9 to 12 show examples of its use. The spacer has a cylindrical (in the case of the illustrated embodiment) or cylindrical main body 5A, an opening 5b for mounting the identification plate on the main body, and a concave portion 5c at the bottom of the main body. A through hole 5a for penetrating the band is formed in the recess.

In the example of use shown in FIG. 9, the identification plate is placed and fixed on a spacer placed on the ground surface. In this case, since the identification plate can be installed higher than the ground surface, visibility can be improved.

In the example of use shown in FIG.
The identification plate is placed on top of the step. 10 in the figure
Indicates an asphalt portion.

In the example of use shown in FIG. 11, a spacer is embedded in concrete 11 and an identification plate is placed on the embedded spacer. In this case, the band 3 is fixed by the fixing head 4 at the concave portion 5c of the spacer body.

In the example of use shown in FIG. 12, a spacer is embedded in the jar 12, and an identification plate is placed on the embedded spacer. Also in this case, the band 3 is fixed by the fixing head 4 at the concave portion 5c of the spacer body.
The buried sign according to the present application can be used even when the ground surface is covered with asphalt, concrete, jar, or the like as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 by using a spacer.

[0018]

[Effects of the Invention] The buried sign of the present invention is such that pipes and the like buried in the ground are directly connected to identification means for displaying the type, number or depth of the buried wire etc. by connecting means. The location of the burial can be known with certainty, making it very easy to search for a pipeline or the like, and preventing accidents such as erroneous recognition of the burial location and disconnection of the pipeline or the like. Can be prevented.
