Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a vehicle guiding member provided at a gas station for supplying oil such as gasoline to an automobile or the like.

[Conventional technology]

At service stations where there is a suspended fueling system that suspends the fueling hose from the canopy, there are no obstructions such as oiling machines or islands on the ground, and as a result, cars can travel in the fueling station premises in each direction. You can travel freely and make effective use of the site.

However, conversely, when the stop point for refueling is not clear, or when many vehicles enter and exit the premises at the same time, the vehicles interfere with each other and confusion occurs, and May be reduced.

Therefore, it is conceivable to guide a car by indicating a course or a stop point on the ground surface.
And a gas station provided with a vehicle guiding member for a gas station as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (Kokai) No. HEI-6-214, and JP-A-61-244643.

The former vehicle guide member has a display plate attached to the upper end of a pole formed in the middle by a spring through original display position return means using a permanent magnet. The member is in the form of a long and thin rod with a groove formed on the upper surface.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In a gas station such as the latter, since the car guide member is thin and small, it is difficult to see the car guide member from the driver's seat of the running car. Since the vehicle stops at a position deviated from the position, it may hinder refueling work or hinder running of other vehicles.

In the case of the former, a pole-shaped vehicle guide member using a spring, the display plate is attached to the upper end of the standing pole, so that it is slightly more noticeable than the latter, but the display plate is still Is limited in size because it is mounted on a pole, and it is difficult to make it large so that it is easy to see. Also, when the car comes into contact with the display board, depending on the shape and material of the display board,
The display panel may damage the body of the automobile.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, to make it easy to see from the driver's seat of the car, to accurately grasp the stop position, and not to damage the car itself as well as the car itself even when it comes into contact with the car, It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle guiding member that is compact when not in use.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a vehicle guiding member provided at a gas station, wherein a main body portion is formed of a translucent substantially cylindrical bag body made of an elastic material such as rubber to prevent destruction, A metal support plate having a semicircular cross section serving as a support portion is provided at a lower portion of the substantially cylindrical bag body, an inner wall of the support plate is formed on a reflection surface, and a lighting device is provided inside the support plate. An air valve for providing a transparent partition plate near the boundary with the substantially cylindrical bag at a position above the lighting device, and for allowing air to enter and exit the inside of the substantially cylindrical bag at an appropriate position on the substantially cylindrical bag. And a short spring, which also serves as a leg protruding from the lower surface of the support plate, is attached to the ground surface with a bolt.

[Action]

According to the present invention, since it is a large one equipped with a lighting device, it is easy to see even from the driver's seat of the automobile, and as a result, the stop position for refueling can be accurately grasped and the vehicle can be stopped at the correct position. In addition, since the destruction prevention means is provided even if the vehicle comes into contact with the vehicle, there is no possibility that the vehicle itself or the vehicle itself may be damaged. Furthermore, when not in use, they can be compactly removed from the premises.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing an embodiment of a vehicle guiding member of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional side view of the same, and FIG. 3 is an example of a gas station provided with the vehicle guiding member of the present invention. First, the gas station provided with the vehicle guide member 6 of the present invention will be described with reference to the entire perspective view. As is well known, the gas station 1 is provided with a canopy 4 provided in front of a building 3 above a site 2 so as to be able to lift and lower freely. A plurality of hose treatment devices 5 of a suspension type oil supply device in which a hose is suspended are attached.

Car guide member 6 disposed on the pavement surface of such a gas station 1
Is formed of a translucent substantially cylindrical bag body 14 made of elastic material such as rubber to prevent the main body from being broken, and is supported at the lower part of this substantially cylindrical bag body 14 except for the left and right ends. A metal support plate 15 having a semicircular cross-section to be a part was attached.

The inner wall of the support plate 15 is formed as a reflection surface, and a lighting device 9 such as a fluorescent lamp is disposed inside the support plate 15. A boundary between the lighting device 9 and the substantially cylindrical bag body 14 is provided above the lighting device 9. A transparent partition plate 16 is provided nearby. An air valve 17 is provided at an appropriate position on the main body, and the oil type indication 10 is displayed on the surface of the substantially cylindrical bag 14
Write a letter such as

The size of the substantially cylindrical bag body 14 is large enough to sufficiently indicate the refueling point with one substantially cylindrical bag body 14 when the substantially cylindrical bag body 14 is installed at a refueling point. I do.

A short spring 11 serving as a leg is attached to the lower surface of the substantially cylindrical bag body 14 as another destruction preventing means. In the drawing, reference numeral 12 denotes a fixture for fixing the spring to a pavement surface, and reference numeral 13 denotes a bolt.

As shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle guide members 6 configured as described above are arranged one by one at a refueling point formed below each hose processing device 5 to form a vehicle guide path. In this case, the oil type display 10 applied to the surface of the substantially cylindrical bag body 14 is written with the same characters in correspondence with those described on the case surface of the hose processing device 5 above.

 Next, the usage will be described.

Depending on the time zone and season, when the number of cars entering and leaving the gas station 1 is small and the station is not crowded, it is not always necessary to form a car taxiway, and the cars can travel freely on the site 2 Is also good.

Now, when the number of vehicles entering and exiting the refueling station 1 increases and the site 2 becomes crowded, a substantially cylindrical bag 14 is placed at the refueling point.
Are arranged and fixed to the ground surface with bolts 13 via the attachments 12 to form a vehicle guidance path. Then, when air is sent from the air valve 17 into the substantially cylindrical bag body 14, the air causes the bag body 14 to expand and largely inflate above the support plate 15. Therefore, when the lighting device 9 is turned on, light rays emitted from the lighting device 9 are reflected upward from the reflection surface of the inner wall of the support plate 15, and the reflected light passes through the transparent partition plate 16 and irradiates the inside of the bag body 14.

As a result, the bag 14 looks bright and shining due to the reflected light, and stands out well.

As a result, the vehicle entering the site 2 travels with the vehicle guiding member 6 formed by the substantially cylindrical bag 14 as a mark, and is guided to the refueling point. At this time, the substantially cylindrical bag body 14 has a large size, and also looks bright and bright,
The substantially cylindrical bag 14 serving as a mark can be easily found at a glance from the driver's seat, and the oil type display 10 is also large, so that the refueling point of the desired oil type can be identified at a glance. When the vehicle is stopped, if the vehicle is oriented so as to be parallel to the substantially cylindrical bag 14, the vehicle can be stopped accurately at the refueling point, and the target of the stopping point is easily set.

And even if the car comes into contact with the bag 14, the bag 14 is made of elastic cushioning material such as rubber.
The bag body 14 is not damaged.

Further, the impact force applied by the automobile is absorbed by the spring 11 being bent by elasticity.

At the time of non-use such as when the number of vehicles entering the gas station 1 is small, the air valve 17 is opened to release the air in the bag 14, and the bag 14 contracts and folds on the support plate 15. It is. Therefore, the entire vehicle guide member 6 is compactly assembled, the bolt 13 is removed, removed from the site 2, and stored. In this case, transportation to the storage location becomes easy, and the storage space for storage is reduced.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the vehicle guide member of the present invention is large and bright and shines, so that a driver of an automobile running in a fueling station can easily find the refueling point at a glance and accurately stop at the fueling point. .

In addition, even if the vehicle comes into contact with the vehicle, the vehicle itself and the vehicle itself are not damaged, so that safety in the gas station can be ensured.

Furthermore, when not in use, they can be compactly removed from the premises without disturbing them.
