Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the visibility and decorative properties of a display plate not only in the daytime but also in the night by fitting a light-emitting diode in at least one part of indications and patterns on the display plate installed on the poles of the fence of a park or a station square, and causing the light- emitting diode to blink in an appropriate cycle. CONSTITUTION:A plate 2, installed on a side face of a pole main body 1 and having various kinds of indications and patterns or the like formed on the surface thereof, has a light-emitting diode 3 fitted in at least one part thereof which constitutes the patterns, etc. The emission pattern of the light-emitting diode 3 is controlled by a controller 51 so that the diode 3 blinks in an appropriate cycle. The visibility and decorative properties of the plate can thus be enhanced not only in the daytime but also in the night.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fence post used as a protective fence or a fence such as a balustrade and installed in a road, a bridge, a park, a station square or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a plurality of columns are erected at appropriate intervals for fences such as roads, bridges, parks, station squares, etc., and fences. In the case of a fence post used for the fence, which is constructed by being erected, on the side surface thereof, for example, the indication of the place name or the name of the place where it is installed or the bridge name, etc., the sights of the place, the historic site, etc. A plate on which a pattern or the like according to the motif design is formed is properly attached.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved] However, in the above-mentioned fence post in the related art, indications and patterns formed on the plate attached to the side of the post are simply printed or engraved on the plate surface. Since it was only formed by being applied, there was no change and the decorative function was poor.

[0004] Recently, there has been a demand for a decorative function at night due to an increasing awareness of improving the cityscape at night.
Since the fence post does not have any light emitting means, the display is difficult to see at night, and the visibility at night is poor and the decorative function at night is poor.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and provides a fence post for enhancing visibility and decorative function not only in the daytime but also at night.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following constitution. That is, in the fence post according to the present invention, a plate having a display or a pattern formed on the surface is attached to the side surface of the main body of the fence, and a light emitting diode is attached to at least a part of the display or the pattern. The feature is that it is made to emit light such as patterns and patterns.

[0007]

In the fence post of the present invention, a light emitting diode is attached to at least a part of the display or pattern formed on the surface of the plate attached to the side surface of the support body so that the display or pattern emits light. As a result, visibility and decorative functions are enhanced not only during the daytime but also at night.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the fence post of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the fence post of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of a method for inserting a light emitting diode. 4 is shown in FIG.
It is a front view showing an example of use of the fence support.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of a column having a hollow inner center, which is generally made of aluminum, zinc,
It is made by casting concrete such as steel in a suitable manner, and the outer surface is appropriately coated, but if it is strong enough to form a fence, other metal, glass fiber reinforced plastic It may be made of stainless steel, concrete, or wood, and its shape and size are not particularly limited.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a plate, which is attached to the side surface of the column main body 1. The plate 2 is generally made of a casting such as aluminum, zinc or steel, but may be made of other metal or synthetic resin, and its shape is not particularly limited. The method of attaching the plate 2 is not particularly limited, but it is convenient if the plate 2 is detachably attached to the side surface of the column main body 1 with a bolt or the like because the plate 2 can be easily replaced. . Further, at that time, it is preferable to sandwich an elastic body such as a rubber packing for preventing water infiltration between the plate 2 and the side surface of the column main body 1.

Indications and patterns 21 are formed on the surface of the plate 2 by an appropriate method such as printing or embossing, and a plurality of through holes 22 are formed in at least a part of the indications and patterns 21. Light emitting diodes 3 of appropriate colors such as red, yellow, and green are inserted into the through holes 22. The light emitting diode 3 may be directly inserted into the through hole 22.
As described above, the light emitting diode 3 is inserted into the cylindrical cap 4 having a semi-spherical tip 41 and made of a transparent synthetic resin such as acrylic resin, and the cap 4 is provided with the through hole 22.
It is preferable that the light of the light emitting diode 3 is diffused by the hemispherical tip 41 by the cap 4 and the light emitting diode 3 is protected by the cap 4.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a firefly that flies around a water plant is formed, and a through hole 22 is formed in the tail portion of the firefly. However, the contents such as the display and the pattern 21 formed on the surface of the plate 2 are not particularly limited. For example, the place name or the name of the place where the plate is installed or the bridge name. It may be formed with an appropriate content such as a display, etc., a famous place at that place, a design with a motif of a historic site, etc., and the position, thickness, number, etc. of the light emitting diodes 3 to be inserted are not formed. Display and pattern 2
It may be appropriately determined by 1 or the like.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a control box having a controller 51 for controlling the light emission pattern of the light emitting diode 3, and the controller 51 causes the light emitting diode 3 to blink at appropriate intervals. The light emitting diode 3 and the controller 5
The power supply device (not shown) used for 1 is generally attached to the inner wall of the column main body 1 and may be a commercial power supply of 100V, or may be a solar battery, a storage battery, etc. Is not limited.

Regarding the formation of a fence by the fence support of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, a plurality of the fence support of the present invention are erected at appropriate intervals so that the fence is formed only by the support support of the present invention. Alternatively, a fence may be formed by erection of fence bodies between a plurality of fence fences of the present invention that are erected at appropriate intervals like a general fence, but it is preferable for the fence of the present invention. As shown in the use example of FIG. 4, the pillars are used as parent pillars, which are erected at both ends or in the middle of the fences such as roads, bridges, parks and station squares, and fences such as balustrades. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 6 denotes a fence, and the fence 6 is supported by support pillars 7 which are erected at appropriate intervals, and the fence for the present invention is erected at a substantially middle position of the fence. .

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION In the fence post of the present invention, a light emitting diode is attached to at least a part of the display or pattern formed on the surface of the plate attached to the side surface of the support main body so that the display or pattern is displayed. Since it is designed to emit light, visibility and decorative functions are enhanced not only during the daytime but also at night.
