[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to safety cones used for traffic guidance and intrusion control on roads and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 At road construction sites and construction sites facing roads, road management supplies called safety cones are used to inform such sites and to ensure the safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians and to prevent entry. ing. Such safety cones usually have a structure in which a conical protrusion is integrally formed on a synthetic resin base, and are arranged at predetermined intervals in an area where traffic guidance or intrusion prevention is desired. .

However, simply arranging such a safety cone does not allow reliable guidance of traffic and prevention of intrusion because the space between the respective parts is a free space. Conventionally, safety cones have been used to form fences in the following manner. The ring members are connected to both ends of the bar-shaped fence member, and the ring members at both ends are fitted to the top of the conical protrusion of the adjacent safety cone. Pass the rope to each safety cone and extend it while wrapping it several times around the top of the cone of each safety cone, or attach the rope to the top of each cone of safety cone with gum tape.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the use of special rod-shaped fence members increases the cost, the transportation of the management members becomes large, and the distance between the safety cones is limited to the length of the rod-shaped fence members. In the case of (1), there was a problem that a large amount of safety cone and rod-shaped fence members were required. In addition, although ropes are used as fence members instead of rod-shaped fence members, there is an advantage that the bulk can be reduced, but roping takes time and effort, and the support of the rope by the safety cone is unstable, uncertain, There was also a problem that the rope fell off easily and the appearance was bad.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a safety structure that can easily support a rope with a simple operation to form a fence. Provide cones. Another object of the present invention is to provide a safety cone which can be reduced in size when not in use and can be transported without being bulky in a general vehicle, in addition to the above-mentioned effects.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a safety cone having a base portion and a conical protrusion, a ring-shaped metal fitting is attached to the top of the conical shaped protrusion, and the ring-shaped metal is attached to one side. It is characterized by attaching a rope support bracket with an opening and closing part.

Operation of the embodiment

 Next, the operation of the embodiment of the safety cone of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment, the safety cones 1 and 1 are arranged on the site with the base 10. The ring-shaped fitting 3 protrudes from the top 111 of the conical protruding part 11, and the ring-shaped fitting 3 functions as a knob for catching a finger, so that carrying for placement can be simplified.

When it is necessary to guide traffic at a traffic regulation site or an event site, or to make a barricade for construction work, the rope support bracket 4 is attached to the top 111 of the conical projection 11. Since the rope 2 is provided, the rope 2 approaches the metal fitting 4 for supporting the rope, the opening / closing part 42 is pushed open, and the rope 2 is inserted into the metal fitting 4 for supporting the rope in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. In this way, the rope 2 is supported by the rope supporting bracket 4, and the roping state as shown in FIG. 1 is immediately completed.

Accordingly, the operation is extremely simple, and the safety cones 1 and 1 can be freely spaced as long as the intermediate portion of the rope 2 does not excessively hang down. There is no need to pay special attention, and workability is improved in this aspect as well. Even after use, the rope 2 can be taken out by pushing the opening / closing part 42 of the rope supporting bracket 4 open, so that the operation can be performed easily and quickly.
