Description

  The present invention relates to a road marking device installed on a road, and further relates to a road marking device that can mark a vehicle driver using a plurality of poles.

  In recent years, road structures have become three-dimensional and complicated due to the establishment of expressways, commercial facilities in service areas, bypassing ordinary roads, and the like. Due to these circumstances, mistakes in the course and reverse running of the road occurred, causing traffic accidents. On highway and general road bypasses, vehicles move at high speeds, so it is necessary for the driver to be able to see the sign at a longer distance.

  Conventionally, as a road sign installed on a road, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a moving road sign cone. According to this, the road sign cone for movement is formed by having a flat part on the side surface of one conical cone, and the road sign printed on the retroreflective sheet is adhered to the flat part. ing. As a result, the driver can visually recognize at a glance by arranging the road signs on the road.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-181609

  However, since the road sign cone for movement shown in Patent Document 1 is mobile and is only placed on the road, it can be easily carried by a third party and fall down due to strong winds. In addition, since this road marking device is set up with a road sign on one cone, for example, even if a driver traveling on a highway tries to confirm, In some cases, the driver misses the sign. If this road marking device represents one-way traffic, for example, if the marking device is overlooked, there is a possibility that the vehicle will run backward, and the degree of danger increases. Therefore, it was necessary to make road markings visible from a distance.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a road marking device that allows a driver to visually recognize even from a distance and does not cause an increase in equipment size or cost. To do.

The road marking device according to the present invention is configured as follows. That is,
The invention according to claim 1 is a road marking device for marking on a plurality of poles spaced apart on a road, wherein the road has an up lane and a down lane with a central separator in between. And the pole is disposed in the central separation band, the pole is disposed in a plurality along the lateral direction, the interval between the adjacent poles is set to 500 to 1000 mm, A partial sign indicating a part of the contents of the sign is formed, and the sign contents are formed by collecting the partial signs, and the partial sign includes the capsule-type retroreflective sheet or the enclosed retroreflective sheet of the single pole. Affixed to the up lane side and the down lane side, and is labeled so that the contents of the markings marked on the up lane side and the down lane side are opposite to each other. To do.

A second aspect of the present invention relates to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein one end of the pole is embedded in the road.

The invention according to claim 3 is a road marking device that marks a plurality of poles arranged on the road at a distance from each other, wherein the poles are connected to a pair of upright columns, Arranged in a plurality along the vertical direction of the support column, the pole is formed with a partial sign indicating a part of the contents of the sign, the partial sign is assembled to form the sign content, and the partial sign is The capsule-type retroreflective sheet or the encapsulated retroreflective sheet is attached to a single pole .

Invention of Claim 4 concerns on invention of any one of Claim 1, 2, or 3 , Comprising: The said capsule-type retroreflection sheet or the said enclosure type retroreflection sheet is the color formed in the said pole, and It is characterized by being formed with a contrasting color.

According to the invention described in claim 1 of the present invention, since the road marking is marked on the aggregate of the plurality of poles arranged on the road, the road marking device itself becomes large and can be visually recognized from a distance. Can understand the contents. For example, in the case of a highway that passes in a face-to-face manner, a plurality of poles are arranged in the median strip and road signs are displayed as an aggregate, so a large display that cannot be represented by a single road sign can be represented. Easy to see even from a distance. Therefore, it can drive safely. Further, since a single marking content can be formed by juxtaposing a plurality of poles on which partial indications are formed along the horizontal direction, it can be installed by a simple operation, for example, a single large plate can be labeled. In addition to preventing the increase in size of equipment, the cost is not increased. In addition, since the partial marking to be formed on each pole is performed by sticking a capsule type retroreflective sheet or an encapsulated type retroreflective sheet, it is reflected by the sun light during the day and at night. Since it is reflected by the vehicle light, the contents of the indication can be seen at a glance. Furthermore, the capsule-type retroreflective sheet or the encapsulated retroreflective sheet is excellent in that incident light is attributed to the original light source direction, and the reflective sheet itself emerges brightly like a light source. Moreover, since the distance between adjacent poles is set to 500 to 1000 mm, it can be visually recognized even when viewed from a distance.

Further , the road has an up lane and a down lane with a central separation band in between, a pole is disposed in the central separation band, and a capsule type retroreflective sheet or an encapsulated type retroreflective sheet, Even if it is attached to the upstream lane side and the downstream lane side of the pole and the markings on the upstream lane side and the downstream lane side are opposite to each other, it will prevent the equipment from becoming too large Can do.

In addition , when a plurality of poles are arranged along the horizontal direction, one end of each pole is embedded in the road, so that the poles are not carried around or fallen down by a strong wind. Therefore, the driver can surely see the contents of the indication.

According to the invention of claim 3 , by arranging a plurality of poles connecting the pair of struts along the longitudinal direction of the pair of struts, for example, a sign that is vertically long in an arrow or the like indicating a branch path Can be formed as content.

Further, Paul and marking capsule retroreflective sheeting or encapsulated retroreflective sheet showing the contents of a color contrasting, for example, black yellow areas, or red on a white background, if white and green, the reflective sheet It is possible to make it stand out and it becomes easier to see.

It is a perspective view which shows the state which mounted | wore the center divider of the highway with the road marking device of one form by this invention. It is an enlarged view of the road marking device in FIG. It is the same enlarged front view. It is a front view which shows another form road marking device with which the pole was arrange | positioned along the vertical direction

  An embodiment of a road marking device of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. The road marking device of the present invention collects partial markings marked on a single pole to form one marking content. In the first embodiment, a plurality of poles are juxtaposed along the horizontal direction. In the second embodiment, a plurality of poles are juxtaposed along the vertical direction. First, the first embodiment will be described. In addition, the pole demonstrated below shows an elongate rod-shaped member, Comprising: A cross-sectional rectangular shape may be sufficient and a cross-sectional perfect circle shape may be sufficient. Moreover, the inside may be formed in a hollow shape or may be solid.

  FIG. 1 shows a road marking device 10 erected on a highway 1 in which an up lane and a down lane are installed on a single road with a median 3 between them. A plurality of poles 11 are erected along the horizontal direction. FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of a road marking device (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a marking device). Each single pole 11 has a reflection sheet 12 attached thereto, and a part of the content of the marking. A sign is formed. By gathering a plurality of poles 11, the partial markings attached to each pole 11 are gathered to form one marking device 10. The marking content formed on the marking device 10 may be, for example, an “arrow” indicating one-way traffic or an “entrance prohibited” marking that prohibits entry of a vehicle. The contents of the indication in the embodiment are formed with “arrows” that are largely represented along the horizontal direction.

  The pole 11 is formed of an elastic body and is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape or a solid columnar shape, and in any case, the outer peripheral surface is formed in a straight round bar shape along the longitudinal direction. Is formed. Each pole 11 is disposed with a distance between adjacent poles 11 and 11. This separation position is set to, for example, 500 to 1000 mm, and the number of poles 11 is 10 to 15 and one set. Therefore, the total length is set to a length of 5 to 15 m.

  The reflective sheet 12 is configured using a retroreflective sheet so that light reflected by the reflective layer with respect to incident light returns as reflected light. The retroreflective sheet used is preferably a capsule-type retroreflective sheet or an encapsulated retroreflective sheet using minute high refractive glass beads. The capsule retroreflective sheet and the encapsulated retroreflective sheet are excellent in that incident light is attributed to the original light source direction, and the reflective sheet itself is brightly exposed like a light source. A small number of small pieces of the reflective sheet 12 formed in a rectangular shape are formed on each pole 11 by sticking a required number of pieces around the center position with respect to the height direction of the pole 11.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the width | variety of each reflection sheet 12 is formed in about 50 mm, and required number of sheets is affixed on 1 pole. For example, the first pole 11a is zero, the second pole 11b is one, and the third pole 11c to the sixth pole 11f are sequentially stuck to 5, 7, 11, 15 respectively, Next, five reflective sheets 12 are attached to five poles 11 in order from the seventh pole 11g to 11k. The reflective sheet 12 is not attached to the last twelfth pole 11n. As a result, a sign “horizontal arrow” appears on the sign 10 as a whole. As described above, since the indicator 10 has a length of 5 to 15 m, it can be visually recognized even when viewed from a distance.

  The indicator 10 of the embodiment has a reflective sheet 12 attached to the front side and the back side of the pole 11, that is, the up lane side and the down lane side. The contents of the markings marked on the front side and the back side are pasted so that the directions of the arrows are reversed. In other words, since each lane is marked as “one-way”, it must be marked so as to be opposite to each other. In this case, two sets of each of the poles 11 may be set, and the reflection sheets 12 may be alternately attached to one of the two poles 11 on the front side and the other pole 11 on the back side. .

  The pole 11 and the reflection sheet 12 are formed in different colors. This is to make the color more conspicuous with respect to the pole 11 so that it can be easily seen by the driver. For example, it is formed in black on a yellow background, red on a white background, and white on a green background.

  One end of the pole 11 is buried in the road. Or a flange part is formed in the lower end of the pole 11, and it fixes to the bolt attachment hole formed in the flange part with an anchor bolt. Since the pole 11 is formed in an elastic shape, even if the vehicle collides with the indicator 10, the indicator 10 remains in place and the indicator 10 only bends or is damaged. There is little damage.

  In addition, this indicator 10 can be installed not only on the median strip 3 but also in, for example, an entrance passage or an exit passage in a service area or a parking area. Further, it can be installed not on the expressway 1 but on a general road. Furthermore, since it becomes difficult to visually recognize the position where the road marking device 10 is installed in parallel with the driver's line of sight, it is desirable to arrange the road sign 10 at a slight angle or outside the curve.

  As described above, since the indicator of the embodiment is one in which the required number of reflection sheets 12 are attached to a plurality of poles 11 standing at spaced apart positions to show one indication content, It is long and can be seen from a distance. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent an increase in the size of equipment that is formed by one large plate, and the cost is not increased. In addition, since only the reflection sheet 12 is attached to the pole 11, each pole can be formed by a simple operation.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, poles 21 are juxtaposed along the vertical direction. The sign 20 indicates a “branch path” for entering the service area from the main line on the highway 1, for example, and is suitable for forming a sign that is long in the vertical direction.

  The marking device 20 includes a plurality of poles 21 that form partial markings and two columns 23 that support the plurality of poles 21. A reflective sheet 22 is attached to each pole 21. As in the first embodiment, the reflection sheet 22 is configured such that light reflected by the reflection layer with respect to incident light returns as reflected light. A partial sign is formed on each pole 21 by sticking the reflective sheet 22 in a small rectangular shape and a small piece formed in an appropriate shape in accordance with the marked portion.

  When the poles 21 are arranged in order along the vertical direction, the indicator 20 that branches in the straight direction A and the diagonal direction B is formed as shown in FIG. If the length of the pole 21 is increased and the center portion bends downward, an auxiliary column 24 (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4) is arranged at the center portion to support each pole 21. May be.

  The contents of the sign indicating this "branch path" are usually written on a plate located above the expressway, that is, on the plate placed above one of the upright columns. Instead, the road marking device 20 in which a plurality of poles 21 are assembled can be installed on the road by a simple operation.

  As described above, even in the sign 10 of the first embodiment and the sign 20 of the second embodiment, the partial signs are gathered to form one sign, so that a large sign is formed by a simple operation. Can be seen even from a distance.

  The road marking device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described form. For example, if a plurality of poles 11 (or 21) forming partial markings are arranged to form one marking content, the arrangement of the poles 11 (or 21) is not limited to the horizontal direction or the vertical direction, but is diagonal. You may arrange in the direction. Depending on the contents of the marking, they can be arranged side by side as appropriate.

  Further, the reflective sheet 12 (or 22) may be formed in any color as long as it has a contrast with the pole 11 (or 21) and is clearly visible. Furthermore, the reflection sheet 12 (or 21) may not be a retroreflection sheet, but may be a generally well-known reflection sheet.
