Similarly, the second annular portion 30 includes a second inner peripheral surface 31 that faces the cone 2 and a second outer peripheral surface 32 that is the opposite surface thereof, a second upper end 33 that is located above the vertical direction Y, and a vertical direction Y. It has the 2nd lower end 34 located below.

  The inner diameter of the first upper end 23 of the first annular portion 20 is substantially equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the first lower end 24. Similarly, the inner diameter of the second upper end 33 of the second annular portion 30 is substantially equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the second lower end 34. In this embodiment, the first annular portion 20 has a frustoconical shape in which the inner diameter of the first upper end 23 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first lower end 24, and the inner diameter of the first lower end 24 is about 127 mm. Similarly, the second annular portion 30 has a truncated cone shape in which the inner diameter of the second upper end 33 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second lower end 34, and the inner diameter of the second lower end 34 is about 247 mm. Further, the dimension in the longitudinal direction Y of the first annular part 20 is about 50 mm, and the dimension in the longitudinal direction Y of the second annular part 30 is about 80 mm.

  The first upper end 23 is provided with a first protruding piece 25 extending radially inward, that is, toward the center line 11, and further provided with a rib 26 extending upward from the first protruding piece 25 in the vertical direction Y. The ribs 26 are located closer to the center line 11 than the first outer peripheral surface 22. In this embodiment, both the 1st protrusion piece 25 and the rib 26 are cyclic | annular.

  The second upper end 33 is provided with a second protruding piece 35 extending radially inward, that is, toward the center line 11. In this embodiment, the 2nd protrusion piece 35 is cyclic | annular. In addition, a plurality of concave locking portions 36 are formed on the second upper end 33, and accordingly, a concave portion is also formed on the second protruding piece 35. The locking portions 36 are provided at equal intervals on the second upper end 33 so as not to overlap the plate portion 40.

  A pair of plate portions 40 are provided symmetrically with respect to the center line 11, and the plate portions 40 are separated in the circumferential direction. The upper portion 41 of the plate portion 40 is located on the first outer peripheral surface 22 of the first annular portion 20, and the lower portion 42 is located on the second inner peripheral surface 31 of the second annular portion 30. In other words, the lower portion 42 has a positional relationship that does not protrude radially outward from the second outer peripheral surface 32 of the second annular portion 30. Further, the upper portion 41 is located at a height substantially equal to the first upper end 23 of the first annular portion 20. On the surface 43 of the plate part 40, for example, characters for calling attention are displayed by printing, engraving or the like.

  Referring to FIG. 2, the cone 2 includes a base portion 3 and a conical portion 4 extending from the base portion 3 in the vertical direction Y, and the diameter of the conical portion 4 decreases upward in the vertical direction Y. The cone 2 has a plurality of sizes. Here, a case will be described in which the cone 2 has a side surface angle of about 10.1 ° and a size in the longitudinal direction Y of about 704 mm.

  Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the main body 10 of the display device for cone 1 is attached to the cone 2, the first lower end 24 of the first annular portion 20 and the second lower end 34 of the second annular portion 30 are Each is in contact with and held by the cone 4. At this time, the dimension is such that the plate portion 40 extends without bending in the longitudinal direction Y. The first upper end 23 of the first annular portion 20 and the second upper end 33 of the second annular portion 30 are separated from the conical portion 4 of the cone 2. However, since the first protruding piece 25 is provided on the first upper end 23 and the second protruding piece 35 is provided on the second annular portion 30, the distance from the conical portion 4 can be reduced. Therefore, rattling between the cone 2 and the cone display 1 can be suppressed.

  When the main body 10 is attached to a cone having a size different from that of the cone 2, that is, with a different inclination of the cone portion 4, the first projecting piece 25 of the first upper end 23 of the first annular portion 20 depends on the angle. Alternatively, the second projecting piece 35 at the second upper end 33 of the second annular portion 30 contacts the conical portion 4. Therefore, it can be said that the cone display tool 1 of the present invention can be attached to the cones 2 of a plurality of sizes.

  FIG. 4 shows the auxiliary annular member 50. The auxiliary annular member 50 is an attachment member that is mounted and used so as to contact the lower surface of the second protruding piece 35 of the second annular portion 30. The auxiliary annular member 50 includes an annular portion 51 extending in the longitudinal direction Y, and a third projecting piece 52 extending radially inward from the upper end of the annular portion 51, that is, toward the center line 11. Referring also to FIG. 7B, the outer diameter of the annular portion 51 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second upper end 33 of the second annular portion 30. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular portion 51 is about 233.4 mm. Further, the dimension in the radial direction of the third protruding piece 52 is larger than the dimension in the radial direction of the second protruding piece 35. Therefore, when the third projecting piece 52 and the second projecting piece 35 are stacked, the third projecting piece 52 is seen so as to protrude from the inside of the second projecting piece 35. In this embodiment, the dimension in the longitudinal direction Y of the annular portion 51 is about 17 mm.

  The third protruding piece 52 is provided with a rectangular portion 53 from which a part is removed in a rectangular shape. A pair of rectangular portions 53 are provided symmetrically with respect to the center line 11, and when the auxiliary annular member 50 is attached to the main body 10, the lower portion 42 of the plate portion 40 is fitted into the rectangular portion 53 (not shown). By providing the rectangular portion 53 as described above, positioning when the main body 10 and the auxiliary annular member 50 are mounted can be performed, and relative movement in the circumferential direction between the main body 10 and the auxiliary annular member 50 can be restricted. .

  The annular portion 51 is provided with a recess 54 partially cut away in the vertical direction Y. The recess 54 is formed with a claw portion 55 that extends upward in the vertical direction Y. Referring to FIG. 5, when the auxiliary annular member 50 is attached to the main body 10, the claw portion 55 is engaged by arranging the claw portion 55 so as to coincide with the locking portion 36 of the second annular portion 30. The main body 10 and the auxiliary annular member 50 can be connected to each other by being caught by the stopper 36, and the relative movement thereof in the circumferential direction can be restricted.

  Referring to FIG. 4 again, the third projecting piece 52 is provided with a rib 56 that rises upward in the longitudinal direction Y from the end on the center line 11 side. The rib 56 does not exist in the portion where the rectangular portion 53 is formed. A plurality of leg portions 57 extending downward in the vertical direction Y are provided on the lower surface of the third protruding piece 52. The leg portions 57 are separated in the circumferential direction, and are provided at four locations in this embodiment. The dimension in the radial direction of the leg portion 57 is smaller than the dimension from the outer periphery of the third protruding piece 52 to the rib 56, and the dimension in the longitudinal direction Y is substantially equal to the dimension in the longitudinal direction Y of the annular portion 51.

  The cone 2 shown in FIG. 6 has a cone portion 4 with a side surface angle of about 9.1 ° and a dimension in the longitudinal direction Y of about 715 mm. When only the main body 10 of the cone display tool 1 is attached to such a cone 2, the first lower end 24 of the first annular portion 20 comes into contact with the conical portion 4. Neither the upper end 33 nor the second lower end 34 contacts the conical part 4. Therefore, the backlash at the time of attachment of the display 1 for cones becomes large. Therefore, when attaching the cone indicator 1 to such a cone 2, the auxiliary annular member 50 can be mounted on the main body 10 and used.

When the cone indicator 1 having the auxiliary annular member 50 attached to the main body 10 is used, as shown in FIG. 7A, the first lower end 24 of the first annular portion 20 contacts the conical portion 4 of the cone 2, and The second upper end 33 of the second annular portion 30 contacts the conical portion 4 via the auxiliary annular member 50. Accordingly, the cone indicator 1 is brought into contact with and held by the cone 2 at the two points of the first annular portion 20 and the second annular portion 30, so that rattling at the time of attaching the cone indicator 1 can be reduced. it can.
In this way, by using the auxiliary annular member 50, it is possible to provide the cone display tool 1 that can be attached to more types of cones 2.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of cone display devices 1 can be stacked in the vertical direction Y, so-called stacking. When stacked in this way, the first lower end 24B of the upper first annular portion 20B comes into contact with the first upper end 23A of the first annular portion 20A of the main body 10A below the longitudinal direction Y, and the stacked state is maintained. be able to. More specifically, the first lower end 24B of the upper first annular portion 20B is positioned on the radially outer side of the rib 26A of the lower first annular portion 20A, so that the upper main body 10B collapses from the lower main body 10A. Can be prevented.

  In the stacked state as described above, by positioning the upper plate portion 40B on the lower plate portion 40A so as to overlap each other, the overlap of the plate portion 40A and the plate portion 40B regulates the movement in the circumferential direction. It is possible to achieve a more stable stack. In the stacked state as described above, the second lower end 34B of the second annular portion 30B of the upper main body 10B is located outside the second outer peripheral surface 32A of the second upper end 33A of the lower second annular portion 30A. These do not hinder stacking. Further, even when the auxiliary annular members 50A and 50B are mounted on the main bodies 10A and 10B, the auxiliary annular members 50A and 50B are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction Y. It does not inhibit.

  Since the cone indicator 1 can be stably stacked, a plurality of cone indicators 1 can be easily transported at the same time, and space can be saved even when stored. Moreover, the work efficiency in stacking can be improved by restricting the movement in the circumferential direction when stacking.

  Referring to FIG. 9, it is possible to stack only the auxiliary annular members 50. When the auxiliary annular members 50 are stacked, the leg portions 57B of the auxiliary annular member 50B positioned above the vertical direction Y are in contact with and held by the third projecting piece 52A of the auxiliary annular member 50A positioned below. Further, since the upper leg portion 57B is positioned on the radially outer side of the lower rib 56A, the upper auxiliary annular member 50B is prevented from sliding off from the lower portion, thereby enabling stable stacking. When the auxiliary annular member 50 is not attached to the main body 10, the auxiliary annular member 50 can be stacked only with the auxiliary annular member 50, so that storage and movement thereof are easy.

  Since the cone display 1 as described above is attached along the cone portion 4 of the cone 2, the wind resistance against the cone display 1 can be kept small, and the cone 2 is likely to fall down by the wind. Can be prevented. Moreover, since the board part 40 has a plane, it is easy to display a character and a picture, and is easy to be recognized. The cone portion 4 is often coated with fluorescent paint, but the plate portion 40 is spaced apart in the circumferential direction, so that even if the cone display 1 is attached, recognition of the fluorescent paint is hindered. There is nothing. In this embodiment, two plate portions 40 are provided, but may be three or more. However, they are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction so that the conical portions 4 can be visually recognized.

  In addition, what is described in the board part 40 is not restricted to a character, A picture, a symbol, etc. may be sufficient, and it can also make it conspicuous, for example by apply | coating a fluorescent paint, without describing a character etc. Moreover, since the board part 40 is arrange | positioned substantially symmetrically with respect to the centerline, especially the both cars and person which oppose on a road can recognize the board part 40 simultaneously.

  In this embodiment, the first annular portion 20 and the second annular portion 30 are circular, but may be polygonal or the like. Moreover, although the rectangular part 53 and the nail | claw part 55 are provided in the 3rd protrusion piece 52 of the auxiliary | assistant annular member 50, if it has at least the annular part 51 and the 3rd protrusion piece 52, it is not an essential structure. Good. The claw portion 55 is used as a connecting member with the main body 10. If this is not provided, the auxiliary annular member 50 is directly attached to the cone 2 and the main body 10 is attached from above.

  In the mounting of the main body 10 and the auxiliary annular member 50, the auxiliary annular member 50 is provided with a claw portion 55, the second annular portion 30 is provided with a locking portion 36, and these are used as connecting members. A claw portion may be provided on the portion 30 and a locking portion may be provided on the auxiliary annular member 50, or another connecting member may be provided. Further, the cone indicator 1 can be made of a normal material known in this technical field such as resin, metal, wood, etc., and each dimension can be appropriately changed according to the size of the cone.
