Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent damage to both a car and a car-guiding display board as well as to the display functions of the latter at the time of the car's contact with the display board by installing the display board on a pole put up on the ground in such a way that the board rotates freely. CONSTITUTION:A car guiding member 6 is composed of a pole 8 and a display board 9 installed on its top through an original position returning device 11, with the middle of the body of the pole 8 consisting of a spring 10. The above- mentioned returning device is designed to utilize two permanent magnets, for instance, and while on the same axis as that of the pole 8 the first permanent magnet 12, with its both ends made north and south poles, is fixed at the top of the spring 10, a body of rotation 14 having the second permanent magnet 13 is installed so as to encircule the first magnet 12 with both of its north and south poles coming to the inner side. On the surface of the display board, meanwhile, signs of oil classes such as 'Lead-free' or other displays for guiding cars are shown. With such a display board fixed to the pole 8 in such a way that it can revolve freely, the original target is attained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a vehicle guiding member used at a gas station for refilling automobiles, motorcycles, etc. with gasoline.

[Conventional technology]

At fueling stations that use a suspended refueling system that suspends a refueling hose from a canopy, there are no obstacles on the ground, such as refueling machines or islands, and as a result, cars can move around the filling station premises in all directions. They can run freely and make effective use of the premises.

However, on the other hand, when stopping points for refueling are not clear, or when many cars enter and exit the premises at the same time, cars block each other's movement, causing confusion and reducing refueling efficiency. Therefore, it is conceivable to guide vehicles by marking the route on the ground surface, but the applicant has already proposed an approach route that can be easily installed on the premises as necessary. (Patent application 1982-198278
(see issue).

The vehicle guiding member that constitutes the advancing/retreating guideway is a horizontally elongated flat member placed on the ground, and a pole on which a display board indicating the type of oil, such as "lead-free", is attached, is erected.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, although the presence of the above-mentioned car guiding member can be made obvious by installing a pole upright, there is a drawback that a car may hit the display board on the pole and damage the car or the car guiding member. there were.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a gas station vehicle guide member that eliminates the disadvantages of the conventional example, does not damage the vehicle or the display board, and makes it easy to read the display contents at the tip.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is that a display board is rotatably attached to the upper part of a member erected on the ground.

[Effect]

By appropriately arranging the vehicle guiding member of the present invention on the ground within the premises of a gas station, the driver can easily know the refueling stop position by looking at the display board, and the vehicle can come into contact with the display board. Even if the display board rotates, it will absorb the impact force and will not damage the car or the car guidance components. Also, after the display board rotates, it will return to its original display position, so the display function will not be impaired. .

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 4 is an external perspective view of a gas station equipped with the vehicle guide member of the present invention. As is well known, the gas station is installed in a canopy 4 installed above the site 2 and in front of the building 3, which can be raised and lowered from a hose storage device. A plurality of suspended type refueling devices 5 with refueling hoses suspended thereon are attached.

The vehicle guide members 6 of the present invention are arranged at appropriate intervals on the paved surface of the gas station 1 to form a guide path for vehicles.
Prior to this, the means for fixing the vehicle guiding member 6 to the ground surface is made of an elastic member such as synthetic rubber or synthetic resin as shown in FIG. A horizontally long flat member 7, which has a hollow shape with holes 7b bored in its upper surface and has a length of about 1 to 3 m, is placed as appropriate on the line connecting the entrance of the gas station 1, the refueling point below the refueling device 5, and the outlet. They are arranged either continuously or discontinuously in one row or in two rows at intervals throughout the vehicle.

On the other hand, the vehicle guiding member 6 of the present invention, as shown in FIG.
It is composed of a ball 8 portion and a display plate 9 attached to its upper end via an original display position return means 11, and the pole 8 is formed with a spring 10 in the middle of the main body.

Further, the original display position return means 11 utilizes two sets of permanent magnets as shown in FIG.
A first permanent magnet 12 with N and S poles at both ends coaxially with
was fixedly provided on the upper part of the spring 10, and a rotating body 14 was attached surrounding the magnet 12 and having a second permanent magnet 13 with an N pole and an S pole located inside.

The display plate 9 is formed to be wider than the horizontally long flat member 7 and is attached to the upper part of the second permanent magnet 13, and has an oil type display such as "lead-free" on the surface or other information to guide the vehicle. Display the contents.

Next, to explain how to use the vehicle guiding member 6 of the present invention,
By inserting the horizontally long flat members 7 and erecting them at appropriate intervals within the site 2 of the gas station 1, an approach path for automobiles can be formed. At this time, the magnets 12 and 13 are positioned so that the display surface of the display board 9 faces in the direction of travel of the vehicle.

When the number of cars entering and exiting the gas station 1 is small and the station is not crowded, it is not necessarily necessary to form a car guide path, and cars may move freely within the premises.

Now, when the number of cars entering and exiting the gas station 1 increases and the station becomes crowded and cars cannot run smoothly, you can insert the pole 8 into the hole 7b of the horizontally long flat member 7 and set it upright there. , the car runs using the car guide member 6 formed by the pole 8 and the display board 9 as a landmark.

At this time, even if a car contacts the display board 9, the impact force applied to the display board 9 is caused by the elasticity of the spring 10 bending.
At the same time, since the rotary body 14 rotates against the magnets 12 and 13, the damage is absorbed, thereby preventing damage to the automobile.

Then, when the impact force applied to the rotating body 14 weakens, the S and N poles of the magnet 13 are absorbed by the N and S poles of the magnet 12, respectively, and the display board 9 returns to its original display position.

If the number of cars entering and exiting a gas station decreases,
When the store is closed, the pole 8 is removed from the hole 7b and the car guiding member is stored inside the building 3 or the like.

In this embodiment, a magnet is used as the original display position return means 11, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to use a spring mechanism, etc. Also, as a means for fixing the pole stand, a horizontally long flat ,';3In addition to the material 7, it is also possible to provide a hole directly in the ground surface or prepare a stand of a different shape.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the gas station car guiding member of the present invention can sufficiently absorb shock even if a car comes into contact with it, does not damage the car, and returns to the original display position, so it has a display function, that is, a car guiding member. (,
Helps improve refueling efficiency. Further, if there is no problem in contact with a car, the display board can be made wide and can be clearly seen from the driver's seat of a moving car, allowing smooth flow of cars.
