Description

The present invention relates to a cone-shaped security device called a road cone placed for the purpose of regulation or division on roads or construction sites, or arrangement in a parking lot or site.

The load cone is mainly made of plastic or rubber, and is hollow and open at the bottom. Therefore, the load cone can be stacked and transported and stored, and a form that saves space is common and widely used.

There is also a usage form in which a restricted area is set by connecting a plurality of load cones with bars or ropes. Therefore, it is often used in combination with a ring bar, a rope, a plastic chain, or the like that has a ring portion fitted at the top of the load cone at both ends.

Further, in order to prevent a relatively light load cone from falling down due to wind or the like, there are many forms in which a weight board (cone weight) made of heavy rubber or the like is fitted into the base and used.
When installing or moving / adjusting the load cone, it grips and lifts the vicinity of its top, but it is easy to slide and fall due to its conical shape. For this reason, it is necessary to lift the thicker part below the top with both hands, especially when the weighting board is attached and heavy.

In addition to the type that has a “through hole” near the top to pass the connecting rope, etc., a “tab with a through hole” and an “annular hook joint with a notch opening” are installed on the top of the load cone. There is also a form provided in.
There is also a type in which an LED warning light device or a sign board is inserted and installed in an “insertion hole” made by cutting the top of the load cone.
However, when these protrusions are provided on the top of the load cone, there is a problem that when the protrusions cannot be removed during transportation and storage, they become obstacles and cannot be stacked compactly.

When a cone-shaped load cone is placed on the ground or its position is moved and adjusted, it generally has a shape in which the vicinity of the top is grasped and lifted. However, the grip is easy to slide and fall because of its conical shape, especially when it is heavy with a fall-preventing weight attached to the lower part, and the thicker part below the top is strongly pinched with both hands in a bent position Must be lifted with.

In addition, when connecting multiple load cones with ropes, etc., it has attachment means that can be easily attached and removed without attaching an adapter to the top of the load cone and that it does not interfere with compact stacking and storage. There is nothing.

An object of the present invention is to provide a load cone that solves these problems and can be easily gripped and transported even with one hand.

Near the top of the load cone, there are provided a pair of horizontal through holes that form a handle portion for inserting and holding the tip of the thumb and forefinger from both sides and lifting.
A slit is formed by cutting out both sides of the top from the center of the top of the top to near the height of the central axis along a vertical plane perpendicular to the central axis of both through holes. Both ends of the slit portion are further cut out and stretched in a substantially horizontal direction reaching the through holes. The slit portion is set to a width that allows horizontal rotation after the connecting rope and the like are pulled downward from the upper side while being pulled horizontally, and the rope and the like after being attached are held so as to pass through both through holes. Removal of the rope or the like is the reverse operation. The plate thickness in the vicinity of the top portion where the slit portion is provided is reinforced by increasing it from the general portion of the main body as necessary.
A hook handle portion obtained by these is provided at the top of the load cone.

The road cone of the present invention has the following advantages and effects.
1. The load cone can be moved by holding the top handle portion with one hand easily and reliably.
2. Rope and chain connecting multiple load cones can be easily detached at any position later.
3. It can be stacked and transported and stored in a compact manner like a conventional general load cone.
4). Since only an opening is provided around the top, processing is easy and there is little cost increase.
5. There is no need for adapters for attaching connecting ropes, and it can be operated at low cost.

1 is an overall perspective view of a load cone according to the present invention. It is an external view explanatory drawing of the load cone by this invention. It is the usage example of the hook handle part of the load cone by this invention. It is a front view at the time of the stack storage of the load cone by this invention.

A basic form of the present invention is shown in an overall perspective view of FIG. A slit that connects a horizontal through hole in the vicinity of the top of a cone-shaped general load cone and connects each through hole in a substantially horizontal direction in a "twist" shape from the top end to the through holes on both sides. The hook handle part is cut out. Each through-hole is set to a position and size where the tip of the thumb and index finger can be inserted and grasped from both sides and the load cone can be lifted with one hand. Further, the slit portion can be elastically widened and is wide enough to insert a connecting rope, a plastic chain, or the like.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing a basic form of a load cone according to the present invention.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body portion of the load cone, 11 denotes a hook handle portion, 111 denotes a through hole for holding a connecting rope or the like, 112 denotes a slit portion for attaching the connecting rope or the like, and 2 denotes a cone weight for preventing the fall.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a hook handle portion 11 is formed near the top of the load cone 1. The hook handle portion 11 has a connecting rope etc. holding through-hole 111 opened in the horizontal direction, and a vertical plane perpendicular to the central axis of the connecting rope etc. holding through-hole 111 from the top end of the load cone 1. It has a slit 112 for attachment, such as a connecting rope, which descends along and is connected to both through holes in a “twisted” shape from a substantially horizontal direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting rope etc. holding through-hole 111 is set at a position and a size where the tip of the thumb and the index finger are inserted on both sides of the connecting rope and the load cone 1 can be gripped from above and moved and transported. . In addition, the attachment slits 112 for connecting ropes and the like have such a width that a rope connecting a plurality of load cones, a plastic chain, and the like can be elastically widened and inserted. The thickness of the hook handle part is reinforced by making it thicker than other general parts as necessary.

When connecting a plurality of load cones with ropes, etc., as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting ropes 3 are pulled substantially horizontally to the connecting rope etc. mounting slits 112 at the top of the load cone 1. After being inserted and lowered from above, it is pivoted in a substantially horizontal direction so as to pass through the holding through hole 111 such as a connecting rope. When removing the connecting rope 3, the reverse operation is performed.

The load cone of the present invention can be used by connecting a plurality of load cones by attaching and detaching a rope, a plastic chain or the like with a simple operation in addition to the same usage method as a conventional load cone. Unlike a method in which a rope or the like is directly inserted into a through hole provided at the top of the load cone, it is possible to easily add or remove the load cone in the middle of a connected rope or the like.

Although there is a method in which a hook portion for holding a connecting rope or the like is installed on the top of the load cone, as shown in FIG. 4, it becomes an obstacle when moving and storing in a compact manner.
In addition, there is a method that covers the top of the load cone with an adapter that holds the connecting rope, etc., but an additional adapter is required, and when moving and storing the load cone in a compact manner, remove it and store it separately. Is required.

In addition to the above, the method of connecting a plurality of load cones includes ring bars, ropes, plastic chains, etc. that have ring portions fitted at the top of the load cone at both ends, and these can also be applied to this load cone. However, the length cannot be adjusted except for a part.

It can be easily installed and positioned for the purpose of regulation and division on roads and construction sites, or for parking and site arrangements, etc., and it is easy to attach and detach connecting ropes and can be stored compactly so it can be used widely .
Moreover, the structure of the hook handle part which consists of attaching parts, such as the holding | grip part and connection rope of the top part, can apply widely also to a chain stand etc. not only a load cone.
