Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a balustrade with an illumination light, which has a built-in illumination light in the top rail of the balustrade.

<Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention> Recently, railings of overpasses, sidewalks, etc. with built-in lighting lights have become known.

For example, there is a railing with an illumination light shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-40502, and as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, this idea is based on an opening b formed along the longitudinal direction of the top rail a along the entire length of the side surface. , the mechanism is equipped with a blind cover and a translucent plastic lighting plate c, and the upper edge of the opening b has a V.
A shaped fitting groove d is provided and a stepped mounting part e is provided on the lower edge, the upper edge of the plastic lighting plate c is fitted into the fitting groove c, and the lower edge is fitted with the stepped fitting part e. , which is secured with screws.

However, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 above, due to the minimum space requirement for the opening b for attaching and detaching the fluorescent lamp, cylindrical and box-shaped top rails a have openings on their sides. Therefore, the lighting position of the railing is in front of the driver driving on the bridge, and the lighting that was installed for safety reasons because the light easily enters the eyes has the opposite effect and hinders driving. There was much to do. Furthermore, because the lighting is placed at the front of the bridge, it may be difficult for pedestrians on the bridge to see the scenery outside the bridge. Furthermore, for illumination lamps with large diameters, it is necessary to cut out the opening b to a large extent.
This causes problems with the strength and distortion of the top rail, forcing the size of the top rail to be increased and increasing manufacturing costs.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a balustrade in which openings are formed at the corners of the top rail of the balustrade.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The above object of the present invention can be achieved by a balustrade having the following configuration. That is, the gist is that cutout openings are formed at regular intervals along the lower corner of the longitudinal road side of the top rail, which has a rectangular cross-section, and at the upper and lower edges of the opening, light-transmitting holes with an inverted L-shaped cross-section are formed. Translucent lighting plates made of plastic, etc.
This balustrade with an illumination light is characterized in that it is detachably attached to the illumination plate support member using a fastening member such as a screw.

<Embodiments and Effects> Hereinafter, the railing with illumination light according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing the embodiments thereof.

What is shown in FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the outline of the present invention, in which openings 4, 4,... Notches are formed at regular intervals. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening 4 of the top rail 3 is cut out at the lower corner on the road side, and a threaded portion 5 for attaching a lighting device is provided on the inner surface of the top rail 3.

Therefore, in the opening 4 of the top rail 3, a third
As shown in the figure, a lighting fixture 6 such as a fluorescent lamp is attached using the screw part 5 for mounting the lighting fixture, and a translucent lighting plate made of a translucent plastic member with an inverted L-shaped cross section is mounted. 7 is attached, and the light-transmitting illumination plate 7 is a lighting plate support attached to the upper and lower opening edges of the opening 4 with waterproof rubber packing members 8 and fastening members 9 such as screws. Member 10,1
0, the upper and lower edges of the translucent illumination plate 7 are attached via rubber packing members 8. Therefore, when the translucent lighting plate 7 is attached to the opening 4, the rubber packing member 8 prevents water from entering from outside, such as rainwater.
The light-transmitting illumination plate 7 can be completely shut off by the fastening member 9, and the light-transmitting illumination plate 7 can be easily attached and detached by the fastening member 9.

In addition to being made of plastic, the translucent illumination plate 7 may be made of various materials such as tempered glass or frosted glass. It is desirable to form it by a member.

In the present invention having the above configuration, by forming the opening 4 on the corner side of the top rail 3, the opening area can be increased compared to the case where the opening is provided on the side surface of the top rail 3. It can be easily inserted. Furthermore, by providing the translucent lighting plate 7 on the road side lower corner side of the top rail 3, the light illuminated by the lighting device 6 has an angle that illuminates the road surface.
It does not interfere with the driving of drivers traveling on the road.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, according to the invention, by forming the opening on the road side lower corner side of the top rail, the opening area can be made larger than the cross-sectional area of the top rail, and the illumination can be improved. The equipment can be easily attached and detached, and the illumination angle illuminates the road surface, so no light enters the driver's eyes and does not interfere with driving, significantly reducing manufacturing costs. It is effective.
