DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a delineator (line-of-sight guide) installed to guide a driver's line of sight by clearly indicating a roadside or road alignment along a side of a road.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a road is provided with a viewing distance necessary for safe driving. However, when actually driving, a driver always seeks an appropriate driving reference in addition to a line of sight. I am running. When the gaze guidance as the driving reference is good, the driver can easily grasp the road condition, so that the driver has less sensational fatigue and helps to prevent a traffic accident. Particularly at night, the visibility is poor, so it is necessary to guide the gaze by clearly indicating the roadside, making it easy to understand the conditions such as bending, widening, and intersection of the road.

[0003] A delinator is provided for such a purpose. As a conventional delinator, a disk-shaped light reflector is fixed to an upper end portion of a guardrail pole in a desired direction, and a V-shaped light reflector is provided. In general, a structure in which a glass bead of an iron plate bent into a shape is embedded and fixed to a recess of a guardrail with a bolt is used.

[0004]

However, the guard rail installed at the upper end of the pole has a disadvantage that the installation interval is determined by the arrangement pitch of the poles. Therefore, for example, on a straight road, there is not much problem. However, on a road that curves substantially at a right angle, for example, it is not possible to install the delineators at required small intervals, and the intended effect cannot be expected. In order to obtain the desired effect, additional poles for installing derinieta must be added. Further, there is a disadvantage that the installation work is not easy because the fixing operation is performed by bolting.

[0005] On the other hand, in the case of mounting in a recess of a guardrail, the installation surface is often not flat, and in particular, a guardrail of a curved road is curved accordingly.
Since the mounting piece of the iron plate does not join the mounting surface of the guardrail in close contact, and is fixed by bolting in an unstable state, there is a problem that workability is extremely poor, time is required for installation, and work efficiency is low.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is a technical object of the present invention to provide a delineator that can be easily and quickly mounted at an arbitrary interval and regardless of unevenness of an installation surface.

[0007]

According to the present invention, as a technical means for achieving the above object, a gaze guide target is constituted as follows. That is, a mounting having an elasticity, a pair of locking receiving portions opposed to each other at a predetermined interval on the front side, and an adhesive member such as an adhesive for attaching to a concave portion of a guard rail or a curb on a rear surface. And a mounting support having a locking portion for engaging the light receiving body integrally provided at a predetermined angle with the locking receiving portion.

[0008] The mounting base may be formed in a belt-like elongated shape, and the set of locking receiving portions may be provided at each of predetermined portions in a longitudinal direction. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a fold portion for increasing flexibility is formed between each of a pair of lock receiving portions.

Further, the mounting support is provided with a plurality of sets of the locking portions capable of mounting the light reflector at different angles with respect to the mounting base, and a required set of the locking portions is provided. It is preferable that a portion can be selectively engaged with the lock receiving portion.

An engaging portion is provided on the mounting support, and a locking claw is formed on the light reflector so as to be disengaged from the engaging portion so that the light reflector can be detachably attached to the mounting support. It would be even more convenient.

[0011]

At the time of installation, the mounting base is first adhered to a recess or the like of the guardrail by an adhesive member such as an adhesive, an adhesive or a double-sided tape. The mounting support body integrally provided with the light reflector is attached to the mounting base body by engaging the locking portion thereof with the locking receiving portion of the mounting base body. Therefore, since the mounting base is attached, it can be attached at an arbitrary position and at an interval. In addition, since the mounting base has elasticity, it can be easily attached to a curved surface of a curved guardrail. it can. The mounting support having the light reflector can be quickly mounted on the mounting base by a simple one-touch operation of engaging the locking portion with the locking receiving portion.

Further, the mounting base body is a belt-like elongated shape, and a set of locking receiving portions is provided at each portion at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and a flexible portion is provided between the locking receiving portions. In the case where a large number of folds are formed at short intervals such as guardrails of a curved road, a single elongated shape is formed on the entire curved guardrail. By attaching the mounting base body using the flexibility of the folds, work efficiency is remarkably improved. Here, the mounting support is provided with a plurality of sets of the locking portions capable of mounting the light reflector at different angles with respect to the mounting base, and a required set of the locking portions is selectively provided. With a configuration that can be engaged with the locking receiving portion, the light reflector can be mounted on the mounting base by selecting a required angle according to the degree of curvature of the guardrail by using a single mounting support.

[0013] Furthermore, if the mounting support is provided with an engaging portion and the light reflector is formed with a locking claw that is engaged with and disengaged from the engaging portion, the light reflector can be detachably attached to the mounting support. If the body becomes dirty or damaged, only this light reflector can be replaced and replaced.

The mounting base body (29) has a remarkable effect when used on a curved road in combination with the mounting support body (2) in the embodiment shown in FIGS. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the entire long mounting base body (29) is attached to the curved guardrail (G) by the attaching member (7), the distance between the straight roads is markedly smaller. At the curved part where the derinieta needs to be arranged, each holding piece (4) provided with each set of locking holes (5) and (6) serving as a locking receiving part is immediately attached at a predetermined pitch. I can do it.
A mounting support (2) having a predetermined angle selected according to the degree of curvature of the guardrail (G) is mounted on the mounting base (29) as shown in FIG. This allows
A single type of mounting support (2) can accommodate various mounting angles of the light reflector (3).
