[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as outdoor stand signboards, there are ones having side shapes such as an I shape, an A shape, a "person" character shape, and an inverted T shape. However, since the I-shaped one cannot stand on its own, it is used by leaning against a fence or the like, but it falls down due to strong wind. Therefore, it was necessary to tie it to a utility pole. In addition, the A-shape and the "human" character shape also required weight each time in order to prevent falling due to strong winds (see Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-53492). The inverted T type, which has been widely used recently, is equipped with a caster at the bottom to make it easy to move and to prevent it from falling. However, it is not enough for strong winds. Needed a lot of space.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In addition, the conventional outdoor stand signboards as described above are all relatively large, and have problems such as being weak against wind pressure and impairing aesthetics. There is also a problem that the amount of information displayed on the signboard is large, making it difficult to catch accurate information immediately while driving. In addition, there has been a demand for a signboard that can be easily transported when used for a short time as a construction signboard, etc., can be easily installed according to the purpose, and can be immediately removed.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional outdoor stand signboard, and its object is to provide a self-standing type that has high stability and can effectively prevent a fall due to a strong wind. To provide an outdoor stand sign. Another object of the present invention is to provide a self-supporting outdoor stand signboard which can be easily installed even in a small space, is easily transported, and is excellent in design.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 1 has a display surface, a connecting portion connected to the display surface at substantially right angles, and has a L-shaped side surface. It is an L-shaped signboard characterized by the following. With this configuration, since the connecting portion is provided, the connecting portion can be grounded on the installation surface to be self-standing. Even if it is placed sideways, it can be made independent by the function of the connecting part. Therefore, it is possible to correspond to the display in European characters such as English, French and German.

Further, as described in claim 2, a weight can be formed integrally with the connecting portion. Here, as the weight, for example, a steel cylindrical or polygonal pillar can be used, and a weight having a predetermined mass can be selected according to the installation place and the necessity. Further, in order to integrally form the connecting portion and the weight, for example, means such as welding can be used. With such a configuration, the center of gravity can be lowered due to the weight provided at the lowermost portion, and it is possible to effectively prevent a fall due to a strong wind. In addition, since the weight and the display surface are integrally formed, it is not necessary to prepare the weight each time. In addition, a clean and simple appearance can be achieved, and the design is excellent. The weight can be provided on either the upper part or the lower part of the connecting part. If it is provided at the top, the weight will be located on the back of the display surface, so that the appearance can be made clear and the size of the weight and the bottom shape should be the same as the connecting part. Therefore, it is also suitable when used in a horizontal position.

[0007] Further, as set forth in claim 3, the connecting portion can be configured to be detachably attached to a weight by attaching means. Here, the attachment of the connecting portion to the weight can be achieved by providing a holding metal fitting which can be inserted into the connecting portion and which can hold the connecting portion by elastic force. Also, the weight can be achieved by providing a groove into which the connecting portion can be inserted. With this configuration, the same effect as described above can be achieved, and in the event of a typhoon or the like, the display surface can be removed from the weight and retracted. In this case, as the weight, for example, steel or concrete can be used as desired.

Further, the connecting portion may be fixed to the ground surface by a fixing means. Here, the fixing of the connecting portion to the grounding surface can be achieved, for example, by providing a hole for an anchor bolt in the connecting portion and screwing the connecting portion to the grounding surface via the anchor bolt. This can be used, for example, when installing as a road sign at a joint provided at a predetermined interval on the curb of the road during construction, and continuously displaying signs such as "under construction" and "shift to the right". Can be provided. In this case, if the display surface of the L-shaped signboard is installed so as to have an angle of about 45 degrees with respect to the side surface of the curb, accurate information transmission that is easy for the driver to see can be achieved. At the end of construction, the anchor bolts can be removed and the L-shaped signboard can be easily removed and can be reused.

[0009] Here, the size of the L-shaped signboard of the present invention can be appropriately changed according to the application, but it is preferable to reduce the size of the L-shaped signboard as described in claim 5. . Here, "small" means smaller than a conventional outdoor stand signboard, and is, for example, about 36 cm to about 120 cm in height and about 12 cm to about 30 cm in width. Most preferably, it is about 51 cm high and about 15 cm wide. With such a configuration, the center of gravity is lowered to maintain stability, and it is possible to effectively prevent a fall due to a strong wind. In addition, it is easy to transport, requires less installation space, and matches well with the environment, and does not detract from aesthetics. Furthermore, because of the miniaturization, the amount of information to be displayed is inevitably minimized, and accurate information that can be understood at a glance can be transmitted. In addition, since it is small, it can be inexpensive. Therefore, by providing a plurality of signboards having the same and / or different contents at a plurality of locations, efficient information transmission can be developed.

[0010] Here, as the material forming the L-shaped signboard of the present invention, any material having a self-supporting strength can be used, but as described in claim 6, a metal, a synthetic resin, and a ceramic are used. Can be selected from the group consisting of: By selecting such a material, it is possible to manufacture a durable signboard excellent in strength. When steel is used as the material, magnets can be used, and the display contents can be easily changed simply by changing the magnet display film or display characters, which is convenient. .
