DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a road display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A road display device is mounted on a road to indicate a road abnormality. Abnormalities include construction, inspections, width reductions, and road closures.

[0003] Conventionally, in the case of road construction and the like, a road display device has been used in order to inform a driver of the vehicle and avoid danger. The most widely used is a so-called color cone. It is conical and has a rectangular stabilizer at the bottom and is markedly colored.

There is also a shape like a signboard made of metal. Further, there is also a display in which a number of light bulbs connected by electric wires are suspended from the sign to emit light.

[0005]

Among the above-mentioned ones, a color cone is bulky and a passenger car has three to three trunks.
I couldn't get around four. Therefore, in order for the police to set up a road display device at the accident site and avoid danger, it is necessary to dispatch a truck even if it is small because the police cannot carry them alone. Of course, the same is true for private road construction, and many transportation problems have been a problem.

[0006] In addition, when an automobile collides with the color cone, the color cone is bulky and may be caught in a tire and the handle may be taken off, which may lead to an accident.

[0007] In addition, an object in which a light bulb is suspended is assembled on site,
Wiring and the like are troublesome, and a power supply is also required. Not suitable for accidents and small construction sites. Further, a two-folded simple signboard is inferior in stability and does not emit light, so that the effect is small at night.

[0008]

In view of the above situation, the present inventors have completed the present invention as a result of intensive studies, and the feature of the present invention is that a base and a luminous body are provided. A display plate, a spring for urging the display plate in a direction of protruding and rising from the base, a locking member for locking the display plate to the base,
And a release device for releasing the locking function of the locking tool.

The base is a main body of the present apparatus and fixes a display panel described later. Also, when the display panel stands up, it serves as a basis for preventing the display panel from falling down. The substrate is preferably a flat plate, and preferably a rectangle in a plan view. The size is about the same as a conventional display panel,
~ 300mm x 400 ~ 500mm, thickness 2-5cm
Degree is fine. Of course, the size and shape are not limited.

Preferably, the base is provided with a concave portion into which the display panel enters. This is for easy transportation. In addition, an inclination may be provided around the base body so that, when an automobile or the like collides, the automobile may be easily driven to prevent the automobile from being damaged.

The display board is a plate-like body for displaying that there is an abnormality on the road, and is formed by drawing various characters, patterns, and symbols thereon. In the present invention, a luminous body is provided here. The luminous body is a luminous body that emits light by itself, such as an LED, a luminous body that reflects light from a car or the like, such as a launching plate, a luminous body that absorbs sunlight energy and emits light at night, and irradiates ultraviolet rays Any device such as a device that emits light may be used.

The display panel is supported by the base so as to be able to be raised and raised. For example, what is necessary is just to be rotatably supported by the axis | shaft of a base | substrate. Further, by providing a foldable support, the support can be strengthened and the standing angle can be made constant. The upright angle may be about the same as the angle of a conventional color cone, but may be adjustable.

Further, a plurality of display panels may be provided, and the display panels may be raised and raised on the other side. This is to make it possible to recognize an intersection or the like from another direction.

In the case of a device requiring electricity such as an LED, the switch can be turned off when the display panel is not used. This may be performed automatically when the display panel is stored in the base, or may be manually cut off. It is preferable that the luminous body is appropriately combined with an LED or the like and a reflective plate, a reflective paint or a luminous paint. To make it stand out, it may be blinked, and the number is free.

Further, in order to easily raise the display panel,
A spring biasing in that direction is provided. Thus, the display panel can be easily erected on site without the necessity of assembling by hand. This spring may be any kind of curved leaf spring, coil spring, and the like.

Further, a locking member is provided to prevent the display plate from being raised during transportation or storage. This locking tool may be of a latch type, a magnet type, a friction type or any other type.

The releasing device is used to release the above-mentioned locking. The latching device is used to retract the latching member, the magnet type is used to cut off electricity to the electromagnet, and the friction type is used to leverage. Etc., but this is not particularly limited. The switch for activating the release device may be provided anywhere, but it is preferable that the entire surface or a part of the surface be a foot-operated switch so that the device can be easily operated after being placed on the ground. . Of course, a push button or the like may be provided at one or more locations.

Furthermore, it can be raised simultaneously with mounting on the ground. In this case, when the user holds the handle attached to the apparatus from the stored state and takes it out and places it on the road, the apparatus automatically stands up. Mechanically, a switch is provided on the handle, and once it is grasped, the switch is turned on (it is released by stopping the upright switch on the back side), and when the ground is put down, the upright switch on the back side stands up. . A safety device may be provided in order to prevent danger because it stands up just by placing it.

It is preferable that the base and the display panel are made of a lightweight plastic as a whole to facilitate carrying.
The vehicle may be easily broken to prevent the vehicle from being damaged when the vehicle collides. It can be manufactured by using plastic waste materials to save resources and reduce the problem of garbage.

A handle or the like may be provided to facilitate carrying the entire device. The power supply for the LED may have a built-in battery or may be supplied from outside.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one example of the road display device 1 of the present invention. A concave portion 3 is provided at the center of the base 2, and the display panel 4 can be stored therein.
The display panel 4 is a two-stage telescopic type, and the inner member 5 is
Pull out and secure with friction. L at the top of the inner member 5
An ED light emitter 6 is provided. In addition, patterns are drawn on the display plate 4 and the inner member 5 with luminescent paint.

The base 2, the display panel 4, and the like are formed from plastic waste (eg, polyethylene). In this example, the size is 300 × 500 mm and the thickness is 5 cm. In this figure, the display plate 4 has already been raised, and the inner member 5 has also been pulled out.

The upright angle is defined by the support member 7.
Further, a button 8 for releasing a locking device for locking a spring-up force by a spring is provided at an end portion. Therefore, when the button 8 is depressed with a foot, the lock is released and the display plate is springed up by the spring.

FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view showing the principle of one example of the flip-up and locking of the present invention. The display panel 4 is rotatably fixed to a rotation shaft 9 of the base 2. A leaf spring 10 is fixed across the display plate 4 and the base body 2 in a direction of flipping up the display plate 4. Further, in order to regulate the standing angle and strengthen the support, the support 7 is rotatably fixed across the base 2 and the display panel 4. A chain may be provided as a stopper so that the support 7 does not open beyond a predetermined angle, or a slidable defining tool may be provided. However, all of these can be known ones and are not the gist of the present invention itself.

A locking member 11 for locking the spring-up force of the spring is provided on the base 2. This is a wedge-shaped one and is normally urged in a projecting direction by a weak spring. However, when the display panel is pushed in from above, it easily penetrates into the base and allows the display panel to be stored. When the display panel reaches a predetermined position, the display panel is projected again by a spring to prevent the display panel from jumping up. Since the spring is biased, the display panel does not jump unless a human pulls the wedge against the base with some force. An unlocking device pulls the wedge on the base. This can be electrical or mechanical, but is possible with simple equipment.

Although the principle has been briefly described with reference to FIG. 2, the present invention is not limited to such a system, but can be flipped up, locked and released by the various systems described above. However, the present invention is not limited to these individual systems.

[0027]

The above-described apparatus according to the present invention has the following advantages. Since the luminous body is provided, it is easy to confirm even from a distant automobile or the like running at high speed, and danger can be avoided in advance. Since the display panel can be easily set up, it can be easily and quickly set by women, even in dangerous places. By providing an inclination around the base or making the entire device easily breakable, there is no danger of the vehicle being damaged or the motorcycle falling over even if the vehicle collides with the device. Since it can be reduced in weight and size, it can be transported in large numbers and can be stored in the trunk of a passenger car. The use of industrial waste plastic waste contributes to environmental protection. When the display panel is configured to be nested, a display device having a relatively high height can be obtained even with a small base.
