Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a guideway for blind people that allows blind people to reliably and easily detect bus stop locations and facility entrances.
A walking guide board that can sense the direction of the road or a station platform is connected to a known one-stop guide board installed at the boarding position or in front of the facility entrance, and the one-stop guide board is connected to the bus stop location. It is made up of connected position guidance boards that can detect the boarding position of trains, trains, and facility entrances, and the walking guidance board provides direction and safety using the tactile sensation from the soles of the feet or from a white cane carried by a blind person. Long protrusions and short protrusions, or only short protrusions, are provided on the board in parallel with the direction of travel to detect the direction and the safe side of traffic, thereby detecting the danger of passing. A stop guide plate with a large number of protrusions protruding from the board in a matrix pattern attracts the blind person's attention and makes them stop, and the position guide plate is oriented at a 45 degree angle to one side of the board. Then, bar-shaped or arc-shaped protrusions with a length and width within the size of the sole of the foot are protruded at regular intervals at the diagonal lined positions of the diagonal lattice, and the above three types of blind guide plates are combined to guide the blind person. It is a taxiway that guides people to their destinations safely and reliably, and serves as a barrier between love-blindness and understanding, and also makes people with normal eyes aware that it is a boarding entrance for transportation, a white line on a platform, or an entrance to a facility. The purpose is to serve as a sign.

Conventionally, signs at bus stops, train entrances, and entrances to public facilities are for people with normal eyesight, so it is extremely difficult for blind people to reach bus stops and the like.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and the details of the embodiment are shown in the drawings.The materials of each guide plate include concrete, synthetic resin, metal,
The walking guide board 1 is made of ceramics, etc.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, approximately half of the surface of the board 2 is maintained at a safe size, height, and spacing that prevent blind people from tripping or twisting their ankles, which can be sensed by touch. A long protrusion 3 that can sense the side and direction, and a short protrusion 4 whose length and width are within the size of the sole of the foot are provided in parallel in the direction of travel, or only the short protrusion 4 is provided in parallel. A large number of circular protrusions 5 are provided on substantially the other half of the board 2 to detect danger.
They are formed so as to protrude in a staggered manner with respect to the direction of travel, or in other words, to be scattered at the same intervals in a direction of 45 degrees with respect to the direction of travel. As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the position guidance board 6 that guides you to the boarding entrance, facility entrance, etc. is located at the position of diagonal grid-like diagonal lines (dotted chain lines) that are at a 45 degree angle to one side of the board 2. Arc band-shaped protrusions 7 whose length and width are within the size of the sole of the foot are protruded at regular intervals, or bar-shaped protrusions 8 or bent into a dogleg shape as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The bar-shaped protrusions 9 are formed by protruding in the same arrangement. The stop guiding plate 10 is a known blind person guiding plate having a large number of hemispherical protrusions protruding from the surface of the base plate.
As shown in Fig. 1, walking guide boards 1 are installed on sidewalks 11 and crosswalks 12,
A stop guide board 10 connected to the walking guide guide board 1 is placed in front of the facility 14, surrounding the position guide board 6, and a stop guide board 10 is installed in front of the entrance of the facility 14, surrounding the position guide board 6. A single stop guide plate 10 is installed at the entrance of the facility 14. Walking guide board 1
A stop guiding plate 10 is installed at the bending point where the walking direction bends in another direction to sense a change in the walking direction. Moreover, one stop guiding plate 10 is installed in front of the stairs 15 of the overpass, surrounding the position guiding plate 6. In the platform 16, as shown in Fig. 9, the walking guide board 1 is installed so that its long protrusions 3 and short protrusions 4 are on the safe side, and the circular protrusion 5 is on the dangerous side (track side), and the boarding door is installed. A position guide plate 6 is installed at a position in front of the position guide plate 17, and one stop guide plate 10 is installed on both sides of the position guide plate 6 and connected to the walking guide guide plate 1.

The present invention is constructed in this way, so the blind person walks on the sidewalk 1.
Walking guide board 1 lined up at pedestrian crossing 1 and crosswalk 12...
The bus can be reliably and safely guided to the front of the bus stop 13, the entrance of the facility 14, or the train boarding/alighting position. The projections 7, 8, or 9 at the diagonal line positions of the diagonal lattice form provide a group of projections in the diagonal direction. This makes it possible to accurately reach the bus stop 13, facility 14, or boarding/disembarking door 17 by sensing the location of the position guidance board 6 based on the difference in shape; therefore, assistance from an attendant or third party is required. I don't. These guide boards are extremely sturdy and can be used semi-permanently once installed, and they have an aesthetic aesthetic that resembles an array of mosaic tiles, and can be colored in a desired color to create a bus stop 13, It is also possible to identify the type of facility 14 etc. to a normal-sighted person. Walk guide board 1 to platform 16
When laying the long protruding strip 3 in white, it can be used as a substitute for a white line, and since this white line protrudes slightly from the ground, it appears raised and is easy to see even for normal-sighted people.

As described above, the present invention is robust, easy to manufacture, inexpensive, suitable for mass production, and useful for contributing to the welfare of the blind.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] On a road surface where a temporary stop guidance board 10 with protruding protrusions is provided, the safe side and direction can be detected on approximately half of the surface of the board on sidewalks, crosswalks, or platforms, and the length and width are within the size of the sole of the foot. The protrusions formed in the above are provided in parallel to the direction of travel, and on approximately the other half of the surface, a large number of circular protrusions 5 that can detect the dangerous side are provided in a staggered manner in the direction of travel. The walking guide guide plate 1 is changed to the temporary stop guide plate 10.
At the same time, on the surface of the board, at a 45-degree angle to one side of the board, bar-shaped or arcuate strip-shaped protrusions with a length and width within the size of the sole of the foot are placed at regular intervals at the diagonal lines in a diagonal lattice pattern. This guideway for the blind guides the blind person to a boarding position, etc., which is connected via a stop guiding plate 10 to a position guiding board 6 which is formed by protruding from each other and can detect the boarding position of a transportation facility and a facility entrance.
