DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a railroad crossing where a railroad crossing alarm of the present invention is installed. In the figure, pillars 1a and 1b are respectively established on both sides of the road across an entrance of a crossing road, and arm bars 2a, 2h, which project horizontally above the road with their open ends facing each other, are provided above the two pillars. 2b is supported in a cantilever manner. The pillars 1a and 1b are copper pipe pillars of a level crossing alarm,
The height is set higher than the copper pipe column of the conventional level crossing alarm and exceeds the limit height indicated on the caution sign board (for example, 9 m). Also, the arm rod 2 attached to the columns 1a, 1b
The mounting positions of a and 2b are naturally higher than the limit height (for example, 5.
5m).

On one of the pillars 1a, a red warning light, a train travel direction indicator, a railroad crossing alarm generator, a railroad crossing obstacle operation device, a failure display, a railroad crossing warning,
A failure notification display and other displays are provided. In the present invention, these displays are integrated into one unit, and are exclusively housed in one case as a display warning unit 3 for pedestrians. (For example, 2.3 m).

The display of the alarm unit 3 contained in the case is auxiliary. In the present invention, the arm 2a of one of the columns 1a has a warning sign (x mark) 4, a warning light (flashing red warning light) 5,
Attachment of a sign board (name of railroad crossing) 6, and on the arm 2 b of the other support 1 b, a train direction indicator 7, a railroad crossing fault indicator 8, “height limit”, “high voltage caution”, etc. are displayed. Attach the sign board 9. Which sign is to be attached to the right or left arm rod 2a, 2b can be freely selected, but usually, important signs such as a warning light 5 and a train direction indicator 7 are provided at the center of the crossing. It is needless to say that it is desirable to install

In addition, a rope 10 is provided between the two columns 1a and 1b.
It is free to install the caution sign board 9 and the like on the rope 10. At the upper end of each of the columns 1a and 1b, a lighting device 11 for irradiating a light beam toward a railroad crossing is provided downward. However, the lighting device 11 can be mounted on the arm rods 2a and 2b.

In the embodiment, the function of the level crossing alarm unit 3 mounted on one of the columns 1a is basically the same as that of the conventional level crossing alarm, but in the present invention, the auxiliary level is exclusively for the pedestrian. It is compact and compact.

[0014] The driver of the vehicle is the arm 2 of the columns 1a, 1b.
A sign attached to a and 2b and installed above the center of the level crossing will confirm whether or not the vehicle can enter the level crossing. The warning signs 4, warning lights 5 and the train direction indicator 7 and other indicators installed on the arm rods are installed using the space above the center of the crossing, and are not limited in size. If the size is increased, the confirmation becomes easier. In addition, since the caution sign board 9 and the lighting device 11 of the level crossing security equipment other than the level crossing alarm are installed on the support or the arm rod and integrated, there is no need to separately install a dedicated support for the caution sign and the lighting. .

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, an arm rod is extended from a column installed on the side of a crossing road, and a warning sign and a red warning light, which are main signs of a level crossing alarm, are provided on the arm rod. , Indicates the signs of the train direction indicator and other level crossing road safety equipment, and installs these signs above the approach road of the level crossing, so that the traffic signs, especially vehicle drivers, can easily see the signs, Even if advertising lights, telephone poles, etc. are built on the side of the railroad crossing, the visual field of view is not obstructed.

In addition, in order to integrate a sign or an illuminating light of a level crossing security device other than a level crossing alarm on the column or arm rod, two or more columns conventionally built beside a level crossing road are used. It has the effect of organizing it into one and improving its scenery and visibility in orbit.
