[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cone used for restricting and guiding a pedestrian, a vehicle, or a motorcycle at a road construction site or a construction site. Specifically, the cone and the cover should not be regarded as separate entities, but the cone should already have a reflective cover attached at the start of use, and the cone and the reflective cover should have the function of joining (integrating) each other. This makes it possible to repeatedly replace the reflective cover with respect to the cone, and as a result, by easily replacing the reflective cover with respect to dirt and fading, the function of the reflective regulator is not impaired, but at the same time. , The convenience of being able to be used continuously while maintaining the characteristics of the original cone such as mobility and storability.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Cone is usually used outdoors, such as at road construction sites and construction sites, and it is purchased with the recognition that it will stain or fade after being used for a certain period of time. When the reflection performance deteriorates, the shape (state) changes significantly due to stains and deterioration of the cone surface, making the task of re-attaching the reflection sheet extremely difficult. It has been abandoned in.

With the rapid increase in traffic volume, the Japan Highway Public Corporation has been shifting its construction method to nighttime when traffic volume is relatively low and concentrated construction that is performed continuously during the day and night as a measure to alleviate traffic congestion due to construction. However, especially at night, it is required to improve visibility for safety measures to vehicles and construction sections, and as a result, there is a demand for the use of reflective type regulatory devices that emit reflected light in response to headlight irradiation. It is rising.

In such a situation, a reflective cover for temporarily and temporarily covering the cone is used for the purpose of temporarily and temporarily using the existing cone as a temporary reflective type regulation device material at low cost. . However, these reflective covers are manufactured by processing a reflective cloth made of nylon or by applying a reflective material on a soft vinyl chloride sheet to make it into a product. These are generally cap type. It is not considered to bind (unify) the main body of the cone simply by covering it from the upper end of the cone.

The cap-type reflective cover is intended to be easily attached and detached. However, on the other hand, there are some cases in which an attempt is made to adhere the front surface of the cone to the back surface of the reflective cover by using double-sided tape around the lower part of the cone barrel body or at an appropriate place on the back surface of the reflective cover. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a cord-shaped band is attached to the upper end of the cover, the band is inserted from the upper end of the cone, the inside is penetrated, and it is pulled out from the bottom of the cone. A cone cover that is attached to a stopper has also been devised previously.

From this, it can be considered that there has been a demand from the past that the cover can be easily attached to the cone and that it can be connected (integrated) to the main body. However, to date, there has been no product with a structure in which the cone body is fitted with a cover, and the cover has a structure that matches the structure. Therefore, this simple detachment and firm connection (integration) has been achieved. Absent.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As in the present invention, the cone cover can be easily combined (integrated) with the reflection cover and can be easily removed. While maintaining the important characteristics of storability and mobility, it is also possible to continuously maintain functions related to work safety such as reflective performance and danger display when using a cone.

Speaking of storability, a cord-shaped band is attached to the upper end of the cover, the cord-shaped band is inserted from the upper end of the cone, the inside is penetrated and pulled out from the bottom of the cone. In the case of a cover that is attached to the cone to prevent it from coming off from the cone, when stacking the cones, the inside of the cones that are about to be stacked, the flexible portion of the string-shaped band that penetrates the inside of the cones, It is assumed that the heads of the stacked cones will sneak in, and there is a lack of convenience in collection and storage.

Speaking of mobility, since the conventional cone cover is basically a cap type whose main purpose is easy attachment / detachment, a reflection cover is not connected (integrated) to the cone body. Therefore, when the cones covered with the reflective cover installed on the road surface are collected and piled up with the cover still covered, the cones that have been piled up in order to install the cones again on the road surface are collected. When trying to remove from the top in order, the cover of the lower cone comes into close contact with the inside of the upper cone and comes off together. There is a problem of getting out of the cone.

As a result, there is no choice but to take a time-consuming and safety-requiring method in which the cone body is installed once when the construction regulation is applied and then the reflection cover is turned on again. Have a situation.

There has been an attempt to attach a double-sided adhesive tape around the lower part of the cone barrel body or at an appropriate place on the back surface of the cone cover to bring the cone cover and the main body into close contact, but most of the cones are used outdoors, so rainwater or muddy water is used.・ Due to high temperatures, the performance of double-sided adhesive tape cannot be sustained for a long time, and eventually it has come off.

There is also a method in which the reflective cover or the reflective sheet itself is bonded to the main body of the cone by chemical bonding with an adhesive or the like, but this method does not allow easy removal, and the cover or reflective sheet is not removed again. It is very difficult to stretch the sheet over it due to stains on the surface over time and changes in the surface shape due to deterioration.

[0014]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the problem, the present invention provides four holes at the base of the cone body for connecting (integrating) with the reflection cover. This hole penetrates vertically from the top surface of the base to the back side of the base. The opening is to be held at a position that matches the location of the string-like fastener attached to the reflective cover, and near the edge of the tube that stands up from the base.

Two perforations are to be made at one location, the distance between the holes is about 3 cm, and the size of the holes is such that the fasteners fixed to the belt can pass through completely.

The positions of the openings are set at the positions corresponding to the centers of the four sides of the base portion or near the four corners.

The reflection cover is formed by forming a reflection sheet based on a cloth made of cotton or synthetic fiber material into a conical shape having the same size as that of the tube body. The method of molding is to cut out the reflective sheet into a fan shape when the cone part is expanded, overlap both side edges of the fan-shaped reflective sheet by about 15 mm, and sew or glue them into a conical shape.

A band having a width of about 3 cm and a length of about 1 cm is joined to the four lower end portions of the molded cover by sewing or adhesive bonding. Two pairs of these bands are arranged diagonally, and when the cover is put on, the bands are set so as to be arranged near the four openings of the base portion of the cone body.

At the tip of this band, a string-like stopper is fixed. The string-shaped stopper may be made of iron or resin as long as it can be easily and firmly bound. For example, a resin binding band for binding electric wires can be easily and firmly provided. Is most effective for

In order to combine (integrate) the cone body and the reflection cover thus made, the reflection cover is covered from the upper end of the cone, and both ends of the fasteners fixed to the four bands are attached to the base of the cone. Insert the holes into the holes and bind them on the back side of the base.

Regarding the back side of the base part of the cone, if the string-like stoppers are bundled and protrude from the bottom surface of the cone, it is feared that the cone will be damaged by impact or abrasion with the road surface at the time of installation. ， When the binding part contacts the cone tube part when stacking the cones, the surface of the cone may be damaged. Therefore, a hollow shape is arranged so that the binding part can be completely housed inside the base. I shall.

[0022]

[Action]

 By covering the cone body with the reflection cover and binding the string-shaped fasteners at four places, it is possible to easily and firmly combine (integrate), and it is possible to easily replace the reflection cover if necessary.

Even when the cone is used for construction regulation and the installation and collection are repeated, the cone body and the reflection cover are not separated from each other.

Even when the cone contacts the vehicle, falls over due to the wind of the vehicle, or side wind, only the cover does not come off.

[0025]

【Example】

 In construction regulations for highways, etc., because the reflective cover is always integrated with the cone, it is no longer necessary to install the cone once during the installation work and then cover the reflective cover over the cone again to reduce the installation time. It can be shortened and the risk can be avoided.

Even if the reflection function is deteriorated due to exhaust gas pollution, dirt due to asphalt dairy material, or fading, it is possible to restore the initial function by replacing the reflection cover on the cone surface. The guidance is clear and the safety of the construction site can be maintained.

[0027]

[Effect of device]

 The reflection cover can be easily combined (integrated) with the cone body, and when it becomes necessary to remove the reflection cover from the body, it is easy to replace it with a new reflection cover by removing the binding part. become. As a result, dirt and fading occurred while the product was in use, while it had the function of an integrated product in which the reflective sheet was attached directly to the cone body, that is, the cone and reflective part did not separate under any condition. Even at this time, by replacing the reflective cover, the functions such as reflectivity and guidance / regulatory display can be continuously maintained in a state close to new.
