Description

The present invention relates to a structure in which another device such as an electronic device is simultaneously attached together with a construction light attached to a cut cone or the like.

When lane regulation is performed on roads for construction work, accident handling, etc., marking tools are used that are arranged at regular intervals in the regulated section to clearly indicate to general vehicles that it is a regulated section. As a marker, a cone body (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "cone") having a truncated cone shape that can stand on the road such as a rubber cone or a cut cone is known. The cone as a marker is difficult to be seen by the driver of a traveling vehicle or a pedestrian at night when it is dark. In order to improve the visibility of the cone, a top mounting hole may be provided at the top of the cone, and a light emitting device including an LED (Light Emitting Diode) (hereinafter referred to as "construction light") may be mounted there (patented). Reference 1, FIG. 10). Further, for the purpose of monitoring the state of the cone or the like, an electronic device other than a construction light such as a wireless device may be held in a top mounting hole at the top of the cone.

Further, the fixture 30 has a tightening means 32 (adjuster bolt 32a and adjuster 32b) that surrounds the insertion base 21 from the holding portion 31 and tightens the insertion base 21. The holding portion 31 and the electronic device 40 are formed by, for example, a known bonding method in which a pair of recessed openings and a set of convex portions such as claws are provided on a plane for joining the holding portion 31 and the electronic device 40 to each other and engaged with each other. , Integrated.

The tightening means 32 includes an annular body 33 integrally formed as a mounting tool 30 on the holding portion 31, a mounting screw (adjuster bolt 32a) screwed into the annular body 33, and a mounting screw (adjuster) inside the annular body 33. A cushioning portion (adjuster 32b) provided at the end of the bolt 32a) and in contact with the insertion base portion 21 is provided.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fixture 30 has bent portions 31a and 31b bent from both ends of the holding portion 31 having a rectangular holding outer plane, and is integrally extended at the facing portion 31c to be annular. It is a body 33. The facing portion 31c is substantially parallel to the holding outer plane of the holding portion 31, and the inner walls of the bent portions 31a and 31b are bent in a dogleg shape in a plan view, and the insertion base portion 21 is separated from the inner wall at two points. It is formed so as to come into contact with the inclusion base 21.

The adjuster bolt 32a is a mounting screw for mounting the mounting tool 30 to the insertion base 21, has a knob portion 32aa at one end so that it can be rotated by hand, and the other end is the outer peripheral surface of the insertion base 21 of the construction light 20.

The adjuster 32b that holds the insertion base 21 is made of synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, or metal, and the belt-shaped belt portion 32bb that holds the construction light 20 and both ends of the belt portion 32bb are bent to form the fitting 30. It is provided with a sliding portion 32bc guided by a guide portion 30 g on the inner wall surface of the above. The inner wall of the adjuster 32b is provided with a plurality of ribs Rb extending in the extending direction thereof in order to prevent the adjuster 32b from being displaced from the insertion base portion 21.

The maximum inner diameter md of the fixture 30 shown in FIG. 5B is larger than the outer diameter D of the insertion base 21 of the construction light 20 shown in FIG. In this embodiment, when the adjuster bolt 32a is tightened or loosened, the adjuster 32b moves in the fixture 30, and as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the adjuster 30 can be changed from the minimum inner diameter d to the maximum inner diameter md. Has a mechanism to do.

The housing of the construction light 20 is made of various synthetic resins, and inside the main body (insertion portion 21a, insertion base portion 21, light emitting portion 22), although not shown, a circuit for controlling blinking of a light source or the like. Etc. are housed in a printed circuit board, a dry battery, a secondary battery for storing electric power generated by a solar battery, and the like. As an example, a battery such as a dry battery is housed in the cylindrical insertion portion 21a. Further, for example, an LED as a light source is arranged on the light emitting surface of the light emitting unit 22, but these configurations are also omitted because they are not shown. It should be noted that a switch for switching the light emission operation mode, which is an external configuration of the main body, a power switch, and the like are also shown and described in the description.

The assembly flow of the construction light assembly when the construction light 20 and the electronic device 40 are fixed to the cone 10 at the same time will be described. First, a fixture 30 integrally provided in the electronic device 40 is prepared. The fixture 30 integrated with the electronic device 40 is fitted into the insertion base 21 of the construction light 20 from the insertion portion 21a side (FIG. 6A). Here, the adjuster 32b of the fixture 30 is tightened to the insertion base 21 by the adjuster bolt 32a so as to match the outer diameter D (FIG. 2) of the insertion base 21 of the construction light 20 (FIG. 6 (b)). This completes the fixing of the construction light 20 and the electronic device 40 (construction light assembly Ass). Then, in this state, by inserting the insertion portion 21a of the construction light assembly Ass into the mounting hole 11 provided in the cone 10, the construction light 20 and the electronic device 40 can be fixed to the cone 10 at the same time (FIG. 3). At this time, the electronic device 40 does not block the light emitting unit 22 of the construction light 20.

The construction light assembly of the embodiment is intended for a structure and shape in which the insertion base 21 of the construction light 20 and the mounting hole 11 of the cone 10 are fitted and fixed, and the appearance of the construction light 20 shown in the figure shows an example. However, it is not limited to this, and can be modified. In the description of this embodiment, the fixture 30 is fixed to the insertion base 21 by the adjuster 32b and the adjuster bolt 32a, but it can also be fixed by another structure such as a belt method or a magnet that can be tightened steplessly. Is.

This embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the fixture 30 (tightening means) is not annular but has a “U” shape. Therefore, only the fixture 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the fixture 30 is integrally extended by a bent facing portion 31c in which one of the bent portions 31a and 31b 31a at both ends of the holding portion 31 having a rectangular holding outer plane is bent. It becomes a U-shaped body 34. An opening for receiving the insertion base 21 is formed between the bent portion 31b and the facing portion 31c. Therefore, the tightening means 32 (mounting tool 30) has a U-shaped body 34 integrally formed with the holding portion 31 and partially opened, and a mounting screw (adjuster bolt 32a) screwed into the U-shaped body 34. And a cushioning portion (adjuster 32b) provided at the end of the mounting screw (adjuster bolt 32a) inside the U-shaped body 34 and in contact with the insertion base portion 21.

This embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the attachment 30 (tightening means) is not annular and a binding band portion is used. Therefore, only the fixture 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the tightening means 32 (attachment 30) includes a binding band portion 35 that is wound around the insertion base portion 21 together with the holding portion 31. One end of the binding band portion 35 is fixed to one of the bent portions 31a and 31b at both ends of the holding portion 31, and the other end is fixed by a binder BD at the return folded portion through the strap hole of the other bent portion 31a. ..
