DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gutter used to prevent the occurrence of weeds around the base of a leg of a girder rail installed at a boundary between a sidewalk and a road or at an end of a curved road. The invention relates to a weed stop at the base of the drill leg.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, a guard rail 1 at a boundary between a road 14 and a sidewalk 15 is spaced apart from a side of the sidewalk 15 along a curb 16 made of concrete or the like. Part of the lower end of the leg 2 penetrates the upper layer of the sidewalk 15 made of asphalt, concrete, or the like, is buried in the soil, and is fixed.
As shown in FIG. 1, weeds 17 are generated around the base 3 of the legs 2 and in the gap between the sidewalk 15 and the curb 16, so that the overgrown weeds are automatically trimmed as shown in FIG. I was mowing with a machine. The cutting of the weed 17 by the automatic mowing machine at the place where the guard rail 1 is installed is troublesome because the leg 2 becomes an obstacle, and in particular, the weed 17 is located around the base 3 of the leg 2. When the blades are growing, the rotary blade of the automatic mower is often brought into contact with the leg 2, and the reaction force at the time of contact may cause the rotary blade to splash and damage the feet of the worker. there were. Also leg 2
If the weeds 17 around the base 3 are left uncut, the aesthetic appearance is impaired, so that there is a problem that the operator must later use the pot to cut the grass by hand. Also, if the roots of the weeds 17 become too thick, the asphalt and concrete
Cracks in the upper layer, such as
There was a problem that the lower end portion of the device became unstable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the problems and the like described in the prior art, and is intended to prevent the occurrence of weeds around the base of a girder's leg. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a weed stopper for use in the field.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a weed stop at the base of a leg of a girder rail, comprising two halves each having an inner wall provided with a concave groove to be fitted to a leg of the girder rail. One end of the body is openably and closably connected, and when the half-split body is closed, the concave groove
A flexible sheet-like skirt is provided at the base of the half body, which is fitted to the leg of the drill, and the other end of the half body is formed of a mold capable of being connected. Is what you do.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG.
A mold 4 which can be detachably mounted on the base 3 of the leg 2 of the drill 1 is provided with no gap between the leg 2 of the gadole 1 and the base 3 of the leg 2 of the gadrel 1. Is mounted so as to be in close contact with the road surface 5 around the car.
The surrounding road surface 5 including the base 3 of the leg 2 is shielded, and the entry of sunlight into the road surface 5 is blocked. Road surface 5 where sunlight was blocked
Since the weeds 17 do not grow, when the weed cutting operation is carried out by removing the mold 4 from the legs 2 of the garde rail 1, as shown in FIG. The reaping operation can be performed safely and efficiently without contacting the reaper.

The mold 4 is, as shown in FIGS.
One end 8, 8 ′ of two half-pieces 7, 7 ′ provided with a concave groove 6 to be fitted to the leg 2 of the guard rail 1 on the inner wall is connected to a hinge 18.
When the halves 7, 7 'are closed, the concave groove 6 forms the leg 2 of the guard rail 1 when the halves 7, 7' are closed.
A sheet-like skirt 10 made of a flexible rubber or plastic is provided at the base of the half body 7, 7 'so as to fit closely to the other half, and the other end 9, 9' can be connected. It consists of the configured mold 4a. When the groove 6 is not in close contact with the leg 2 of the guard rail 1, the leg 2 of the guard rail 1
A rubber sheet or the like is wound around the base 3 to mount the mold 4a. The material of the mold 4a is suitably FRP or plastic. FIG. 4 (b) and FIG.
(B) shows an example of a state in which the half bodies 7, 7 'are opened for mounting on the legs 2 of the guard rail 1.

A mold 4b as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b) or a mold 4c as shown in FIG. 7 (a) can be applied as necessary.

[0008]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. As weeds do not grow around the base of the gardele,
Weed cutting by an automatic mower can be performed safely and efficiently. Since the structure of the weed stopper is simple, even a beginner can easily attach and detach it.
