Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shock absorber for a pillar which is mounted on a pillar such as a road sign, a curve mirror, a line of sight guide, an illuminating light, a traffic light, etc., installed on a road.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various facilities such as road signs, curve mirrors, line-of-sight guideposts, illuminating lights, and traffic lights have been installed on roads. Is exposed as it is.

[0003]

For this reason, the conventional pillars do not reduce the impact when a vehicle such as an automobile comes into contact with or collides with the pillars, and both the pillars and the vehicle are greatly damaged and dangerous, and the pillars are repaired. Had a problem that required much time and effort. An object of the present invention is to provide a support cushion for a pillar that has solved the conventional problems.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a structure in which a plurality of shock absorbers are arranged side by side on the outer periphery of a column to provide an existing column with cushioning properties. That is, the buffer member for a pillar according to the present invention is a band-shaped temporary fixing member wound around and fixed to a pillar having a circular cross section, and a long body having a substantially fan-shaped cross section . It comprises a plurality of shock absorbers that are temporarily fixed to a temporary fixing member side by side in the circumferential direction so as to surround the outer circumference, and a fastening band for fixing wound around the outer circumference of the plurality of shock absorbers.

[0005]

According to the present invention, even if the vehicle comes into contact with or collides with the vehicle, the impact can be reduced by the plurality of shock absorbers surrounding the outer periphery of the column arranged side by side in the circumferential direction of the column. In addition, by using a required number of single shock absorbers according to the diameter of the support, it can be easily attached to the existing support.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, 1 is a temporary fixing member, 2 is a buffer body alone, 3 is a tightening band, and 4 is a columnar circular column installed on a road.

The temporary fixing member 1 is generally made of metal, synthetic resin or the like, and as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of hook-shaped engaging portions 12 for temporarily fixing the buffer body 2 to the outer peripheral surface of the mounting band 11.
Are protruding. This temporary fixing member 1 is a mounting band 1
1 is wound around the column 4 as shown in FIGS. The temporary fixing member 1 is not necessarily limited to the above-mentioned one, but may be a double-sided adhesive tape or a band-shaped surface fastener.
What is necessary is just to be able to temporarily fix.

The buffer body 2 is a long body having a substantially fan-shaped cross section. In general, the buffer body 2 is provided with a coating material made of a synthetic resin, cloth, or the like on the outer peripheral surface of a base having a buffering effect, such as a synthetic resin foam, or provided with a protective layer by coating. Further, since the buffer body 2 is temporarily fixed to the temporary fixing member 1 which is fixedly wound around the support column 4, it is preferable that the weight is made relatively light.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the buffer body 2 is
A plurality of the columns 4 are provided in a circumferential direction so as to extend along the length direction of the columns 4 and surround the outer periphery of the columns 4, and are temporarily fixed to the temporary fixing member 1. The buffer body 2 is generally, as shown in FIGS.
The temporary fixing member 1 is inserted and locked into the hook-shaped engaging portion 12 and temporarily fixed. The temporary fixing member 1 may be temporarily fixed by an appropriate means such as bonding or engagement with a surface fastener .

The tightening band 3 is made of a suitable material such as metal, synthetic resin, cloth and the like, and has engaging portions 31 at both ends as shown in FIG. 6, for example. The tightening band 3 is wound around the outer periphery of a plurality of shock absorbers 2 surrounding the support 4, and fastens and fixes the shock absorbers 2 to the support 4.
As shown in FIG.

[0011]

As has been described above in detail, the present invention strut buffer body, supported with a plurality of cushion itself is along the length of the strut
Since it is mounted side by side in the circumferential direction so as to surround the outer circumference of the pillar, it protects the outer circumference of the pillar and provides cushioning to the pillar, so that even if the vehicle comes into contact with or collides with the vehicle, the impact can be reduced, Damage to both vehicles can be reduced.

[0012] Also, cushion alone made the cross section sector-shaped elongate body, struts together along the length of the circular section of the post
Can be installed side by side in the circumferential direction so as to surround the outer circumference of
It can be easily handled by attaching the required number of shock absorbers to existing pillars of various diameters,
Even if a part of the shock absorber alone is damaged by the collision, it can be easily repaired by replacing only that part.

Further, a plurality of buffer bodies are temporarily fixed to a temporary fixing member wound around and fixed to the column, and a tightening band is wound around the outer periphery of the plurality of buffer bodies.
