Description

A traffic sign device

The present invention relates to a traffic sign device which is mounted on a road post and used to indicate various regulations, instructions and cautions necessary for safe road operation, or to inform location information of a road or a building. In particular, the present invention relates to a traffic sign apparatus that can easily install a sign on a post and improve durability against physical force from the outside and maintain a beautiful appearance permanently.

In general, to inform drivers and pedestrians of various dangers that may occur on the edge of a road or above a roadway, to ensure safe and smooth road traffic and to preserve road structures. For this purpose, there are road signs that inform you of various matters necessary to use the road.

These road signs are produced and installed as prescribed by law, and the contents to be conveyed are expressed in letters, graphic symbols, or a combination thereof.

Depending on the nature of the message, it is divided into warning signs for warning of road hazards and necessary cautions, regulatory signs that regulate certain actions for pedestrians and vehicles, and indication signs for actions or spots.

Therefore, the road sign should be easy to recognize, and it should be possible to grasp the contents of the sign in a short time by determining the type of the sign at a long distance. In addition, since it must be able to read at night, it must be appropriately arranged for the purpose.

On the other hand, on the road, in addition to the above road signs, various guide signs are provided for informing various kinds of information related to the road, for example, location information about the direction of travel, the distance or the place of the road.

Such road signs and guide signs (collectively referred to as 'traffic signs') are provided on a single pillar according to the size of the road, and are provided on both sides of the road. Fuzhou (復 柱式) attached to the horizontal bar (bar) connecting the two shores (지주 式) is installed in different forms, except for the highway is usually used.

1A and 1B show the most general configuration of such a skid type traffic sign device. This causes the hanger 2 to be horizontally fastened by a band clamp 1 at the proper height of the post P on the road, and a plurality of joints joined to the back of the sign plate 3. Insert the head of the bolt (7) to the channel-shaped guide rail (4), and then hang a plurality of U-bands (5) on the hanger (2) and attach the flange (6) at both ends to the bolt (7) of the sign (3). ), The sign 3 is attached to the support P by fastening with a nut 8.

It is to be installed on the upper end of the support by having a support insertion boss.

However, the conventional traffic guide sign panel is easy to install and has a beautiful appearance without fear of corrosion. However, since the cover panel is assembled by simply fitting, it is not only likely to be dismantled by external force, but also easy to deform and strength. There was a vulnerable problem.

Korean Utility Model Publication No. 1998-0009420 consists of a first and a second panel each having a guide rail for assembling bolts on the back, and is to be fastened with a plurality of U-bands on horizontal bars fixed to props. Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 20-0265849 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-168835 are provided with a separate cover on the back of a conventional sign to prevent exposure of the fastening portion with the prop.

However, since these signs are fixed to bands by using bands and bolts, installation work is complicated, and in the case of the Korean Utility Model Publication No. 1998-0009420, the bolt fastening part is not completely covered, and there is still a problem of oxidation corrosion. It was always there.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a traffic sign apparatus which can realize a beautiful appearance by minimizing the exposure of the fastening part with the support while being able to easily install the sign on the support. The purpose is.
