DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a sign, 2 denotes a support, 3 denotes a display plate, and 4 denotes an identification body.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sign 1 of the first embodiment has three display plates 3 attached to a support 2 with a rectangular display surface 3a for displaying information arranged vertically. ,
An identification body 4 attached above the display plate 2 for displaying an identification mark.

The support 2 is a square pillar made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, the lower part of which is buried with concrete or the like in an installation hole H formed in the ground G, and the upper part thereof is shown in FIG. As described above, four support plates 2a to which the horizontally protruding display plate 3 is attached are provided at regular intervals in the vertical direction. Further, the support 2
Is provided at its upper end with a fixing portion 2b projecting upward, and the fixing portion 2b is formed with two holes 2c for attaching the identification body 4. At the time of manufacture, the support 2 is subjected to a coating process or the like by hanging a wire such as a crane over the holes 2c.

The display plate 3 is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the display surfaces 3a are arranged in the vertical direction, and the upper plate 3b and the lower plate 3c are fastened and fixed to the support plate 2a of the support 2 by bolts 3d, respectively. It is attached to one side 2d. Each display panel 3 has a display surface 3a that is a convex curved surface that is curved in the horizontal direction, and displays “→ park →” on the display surface 3a as an example.

As shown in FIG. 2, the discriminator 4 is formed by punching a substantially elliptical plate.
The two holes 4a formed at the lower part thereof are connected to the two holes 2 of the fixing portion 2b provided at the upper end of the support 2 and protruding upward.
c, and these holes 2c, 4a
Are fixed to the support 2 by bolts (not shown). In addition, as shown in FIG.
Since the fixing portion 2b is disposed along a diagonal line of the upper end surface of the support 2, the fixing portion 2b is disposed obliquely to the extending direction of the display panel 3.

[0014] Further, as shown in FIG.
As an example of the identification mark, the identification mark of “A” is displayed in a circle with the horizontal dimension enlarged with respect to the vertical dimension, that is, displayed as “A” with the horizontal dimension extended in the ellipse. In addition,
The mark “A” in this circle is, for example, an identification mark indicating the construction source of the sign 1 and the location of the installation location.

In the sign 1, the display surface 3a of the display panel 3 is a convex curved surface curved in the horizontal direction.
The driver and the like positioned diagonally with respect to the direction of the arrow (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1 (b)) also have a different line of sight to the driver and the like as compared with the case where the driver and the like are displayed on the flat surface. The angle with the side display surface 3a is widened so that the display is easy to see, and the recognition of the information content is relatively quick.

Also, in the identification body 4, a driver or the like positioned obliquely with respect to the identification body 4 looks like the identification body 4 is reduced in the horizontal direction, but has a state in which the horizontal dimension is enlarged in advance. That is, since the identification mark is displayed with "A" which is expanded in the horizontal direction in the ellipse, the reduction is corrected and the identification mark is displayed in the correct size and shape, that is, "A" is displayed in the circle. Become easier to recognize. In addition,
The magnification in the horizontal direction was set to 1.17 times that in the vertical direction.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In these figures, reference numeral 10 indicates a sign, and 11 indicates a display panel.

The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the first embodiment
In the sign 1 in the form, each display plate 3 has its display surface 3a.
Are arranged in the same state, whereas the second form of the sign 1
0 is that one display plate 11 is attached to each side surface 2d of the support 2. That is, the display plate 11 having the back surface facing two pairs of side surfaces 2d parallel to each other is fixed to the support plate 2a by bolts. Note that the display surface 11 displays “→ park →” as an example. Therefore, the display surfaces 11a of the respective display panels 11 are arranged in four directions around the support 2, respectively, and these display panels 11 can be easily seen from different directions.

Furthermore, when the wind is strong, the display surface 11a of the display panel 11 in four directions is a convex curved surface, and the rear surfaces thereof are arranged opposite to each other. The wind received by the display surface 11 is caused to flow laterally by the convex curved surface, so that the force on the marker 10 due to the wind can be reduced.

In each of the above embodiments, the display panel 3,
Although 11 is rectangular, any other shape may be used as long as it is a convex curved surface curved in the horizontal direction. For example, the shape may be circular. Further, the identification body 4 uses a mark in which “A” is inserted in a circle as an identification mark, but may use another identification mark. For example, it may be a coat of arms of a public organization. Further, the support 2 of the second embodiment is a quadrangular prism and has four side surfaces 2.
Although the display panel 11 is attached to each of the panels d, the display panel may be mounted with the support as another polygonal pillar and oriented around the support in a direction different from the second mode. For example, the support may be a triangular prism, and the display plate may be attached to three sides with the support plate as the center.

[0021]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) According to the sign of the first aspect, the display surface of the display panel is a convex curved surface curved in the horizontal direction, so that even a driver or the like positioned obliquely to the direction in which the display panel is turned. ,
Compared to the case where the information is displayed on a flat surface, the display is easier to see, the information content can be recognized relatively quickly, and the visibility of the display can be improved. Further, also in the identification body, the identification mark is displayed in a state where the lateral dimension is enlarged in advance, so that a driver or the like positioned diagonally with respect to the identification body can see the identification mark in a correct size and shape. Thus, the discriminability of the mark can be improved.

(2) According to the sign of claim 2, since a plurality of display boards are attached to the plurality of side faces of the polygonal column support, the display boards attached to the different side faces are oriented in different directions. By being oriented, these display boards can be viewed from different directions, and the visibility of display in various directions can be improved.
