Here, the installation of the road sign bottle 10 has a number of methods, such as a method of fixing by using an adhesive or by forming a separate member to be inserted or fixed, or by fastening the anchor bolt to combine the fixed, such as the road sign bottle The purpose is to provide a road marking bottle 10 in various forms in order to meet the installation purpose or effect of (10) and the working conditions or the various needs of the user.

As described above, by combining and fixing the plurality of road marking bottles 10 spaced apart at regular intervals on the road surface where the center line of the road is drawn, that is, the road marking bottles 10 are installed, at night or in a foggy day and on rainy days. The light sent from the vehicle such as the city is hit by the reflector 2 of the road sign bottle 10.

Then, since the reflector 2 reflects the light of the vehicle hit, the reflected light is sent to the driver driving the vehicle, so that the driver checks the centerline of the roadway by the reflected light and prepares to drive while preparing for an accident risk. do.

However, such a conventional road marker bottle is hit by a snow cover shovel of a snow removal vehicle used to remove or remove snow accumulated on the road during snow removal, and hits a road marker bottle that cannot be observed.

That is, due to the force applied by the snow removal vehicle's shovel as the shovel of the snow removal vehicle does not pass over the outer surface of the road marking bottle and the reflector coupled to the outer surface of the road marking bottle and the road marking bottle is broken. There was a problem such as damage and breakage.

Therefore, there is a problem in that the purchase cost of the cover bottle according to the installation and replacement for installing the cover for the road as the new road cover bottle must be installed after the snow removal is completed. In addition, if the road sign bottle or reflector is prevented from being damaged or damaged, and the road sign bottle is not replaced or repaired, the road sign bottle may not reflect the lights of the vehicle at night or in a foggy day or during rainy weather. Since the cover bottle is not functioning well and does not warn the driver of danger, there is a problem that the risk of accident of the driver becomes very high.

5 and 6, the body 110 of the road sign bottle 100 is made of polycarbonate, the bottom portion 111 is fixed to the road by an adhesive applied to the bottom surface and gently in the front and rear direction It is a convex structure, the left side 112 and the right side 113 formed to be inclined in the side, and in the form of connecting the left side 112 and the right side 113 in the center of the bottom 111 is a flat structure The support part 115 is included, and the bottom part 111, the left part 112, the right part 113, and the support part 115 are formed of one body 110. In addition, the first reflector 121 is positioned on the front and rear surfaces of the support 115, and the second reflector 122 is also located on the upper surface of the bottom 111, that is, the front and rear of the support 115.

The following describes the road sign bottle configured in this way in detail.

The bottom 111 of the body 110 has a flat structure, and is fixed to the bottom of the bottom 111 on the road with an adhesive applied to the bottom of the bottom 111. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, a slot 111S is formed at the bottom of the bottom 111 to which the first reflector 121 located at the front and the rear of the support 115 is inserted. The first reflector 121 inserted through the slot 111S formed at the bottom of the supporter 115 is located at the front and rear of the support 115. Here, the first reflector 121 may be a general reflector or a photoluminescent reflecting sheet or a fluorescent reflecting sheet, which is collectively called a reflector. Meanwhile, the supporter 123 in which the transparent plate 130 is positioned in front of the first reflector 121 to prevent contamination of the first reflector 121 and the first reflector 121 is fixed behind the first reflector 121. ) Is located.

As such, when the first reflector 121 is inserted into the slot 111S of the bottom 111, the transparent plate 130 is positioned in front of the first reflector 121 and the supporter 123 is located behind the slot 111S. The first reflector 121 is positioned at the front and the rear of the support 115, respectively. When the first reflector 121 is inserted through the slot 111S of the bottom 111, when the vehicle passes the plane of the support 115 or the shovel 21 of the snow removal vehicle passes the plane of the support 115. There is an effect of preventing the departure or distortion of the first reflector 121 by the load acting vertically.

Meanwhile, the support 115 not only supports the first reflector 121 as shown in FIG. 6, but also forms a channel 119 that is communicated with the front and rear sides of the first reflector 121. The function of the channel 119 will be described later in detail.

On the left and right sides of the support part 115 on which the channel 119 is formed, a left part 112 and a right part 113 are formed, respectively, and the length direction of the left part 112 and the right part 113 is the bottom part 111 of the bottom part 111. It is formed with a gentle convex structure from the front end to the rear end. The left inclined surface 112S of the left side 112 and the right inclined surface 113S of the right side 113 are formed at an inclination angle of about 45 degrees.

As the left portion 112 and the right portion 113 are formed in a convex structure that is gentle in the longitudinal direction, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the shovel 21 of the snow removal vehicle that has traveled from the front also has a left portion ( 112 and the right side 113 is passed, and the wheel 22 of the vehicle can be crossed over the left side 112 and the right side 113. Therefore, the conventional road sign bottle is much weaker than the impact received by the snow shovel. As described above, the road sign bottle 100 of the present invention can prevent damage by cushioning the shock even when contacted with the shovel 21 or the wheel 22 of the snow removal vehicle.

As the space (117 of FIG. 11) is formed between the left side 112 and the right side 113 at the front and the rear of the support 115, the wheel 22 of the vehicle or the shovel 21 of the snowplow is left. The second reflector 122 attached to the plane of the bottom part 111 does not come into contact with the wheels 22 and the shovel 21 in passing over the 112 and the right part 113, thereby preventing contamination. Can be. Here, the second reflector 122 may be any one of a general reflector, a photoluminescent reflecting sheet, and a fluorescent reflecting sheet like the first reflector 121, and the transparent plate 130 is fixed on the second reflector 122.

Meanwhile, as the space 117 is formed between the left side 112 and the right side 113, snow accumulates or rainwater accumulates in the space. Thus, when snow is accumulated in the plane of the bottom 111, The first reflector 121 and the second reflector 122 may not be able to perform the function of the road sign bottle 100 due to the light.

In order to overcome such structural features, the channel 119 described above is formed. The movement of air generated while the vehicle is traveling, that is, wind is blown from the front of the road sign bottle 100 to the rear as shown in FIG. 11, and the wind flows into the space 117 between the left part 112 and the right part 113. And then flows rearward of the support 115 through the channel 119. In particular, the channel 119 has a smaller cross section than the space 117, so that the wind passing through the channel 119 is increased in speed by the Venturi effect. Therefore, there is an effect of pushing the snow or rain water located behind the support portion 115 out of the road sign bottle (100). Since snow or rainwater located in front of the support 115 is blown by a large amount of wind by the movement of the vehicle, snow or rainwater is naturally discharged out of the road sign bottle 100.

As shown in FIG. 7, grooves 115H communicating with the slots 111S are formed on the front and rear surfaces of the support part 115 to insert the first reflector 121 and the supporter 123 inserted through the slots 111S. The transparent plate 130 is fixed in a state located inside the groove 115H. In addition, a groove 111H having an area corresponding to the second reflector 122 and the transparent plate 130 is formed in the plane of the bottom 111 so that the second reflector 122 and the transparent plate 130 may be attached and fixed. do.
