Abstract

The invention relates to signalling means particularly for roads. The advantages provided by the presence of reflective or illuminated road studs has long been known. Conventional road studs stand proud of the road surface to enable the reflector or the illuminatable means to be seen, and are prone to damage by passing traffic, and particularly by the blades of snow ploughs. The object of the invention is to reduce substantially, or eliminate this disadvantage, an objective met by a construction comprising a socket, a domed lens mounted on the socket and reflective and/or illuminatable means mounted in the socket, the domed lens being of a material able to refract reflected light, or light from the illuminatable means, to allow it to be seen by drivers of oncoming vehicles.

Description of the invention (/) The present invention relates to a signaling device, and particularly to a signaling device that can be used on a road. For a long time, the installation of road signalling devices has been indisputable for drivers. In addition to the installation of reflectors, many types of lighting signals have been proposed, which can reflect the headlights of the vehicle to the driver, so that the center of the ordinary road and the position of the double lane or multi-lane lane can be clearly displayed. Therefore, on a poorly lit road, or where there is no road lighting at all, and more particularly in the severe weather where the fog and dense fog cover the road, a road lighting column or reflective column is equivalent to the driver. Helpful to correctly position the vehicle on the road and to indicate the position of the driver's crossbow or corner β Traditionally, a reflector or an LED (for example) has a lens (the lens is a signal Part of the device) highlight the road surface to face the oncoming vehicle, and allow the light to be reflected from the headlight of a vehicle to the driver of the vehicle, or allow the driver of the vehicle to see the illuminated light, for example In terms of seeing the LED. Because the road is sharply protruded, it is dangerous for the driver of a bicycle or locomotive and it is easy to cause traffic injuries. In order to avoid harm, it is known that the upper part of the signal device used to support the reflector or lens can be set to be compressible, or the upper part of the signal device used to support the reflector or lens can be mounted on a The groove sinks into the hole and enters the road, and can be pressed into the four grooves when it contacts the road vehicle. 2 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back first to write this page) Printed by employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Intellectual Property, printed by 1225115 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, printed by A7 V. Description of Invention It is positioned in front of a towing vehicle to remove snow from the road surface. In order to remove snow effectively, the bottom edge of the snow plate must be positioned close to the road surface. This will result in a result because the snow plate contacts the signal device. The upright part and the upright part of the signal device are pulled out from the road surface or from the groove installed on the road, thereby causing considerable damage to the conventional signal device. The main object of the present invention is to provide a road signal device According to an embodiment of the present invention, a road signal device includes: a socket; a dome transparent system is installed on the socket; and The reflection mechanism is mounted on the socket. The dome lens is a material that refracts light, and the refracted light can be guided to the reflection mechanism, from which the light can be reflected through the dome lens. And can be refracted to return the light to its light source. In addition to the purpose of providing a simple reflector, other mechanisms are positioned in the socket to replace the reflector. Therefore, according to the second implementation of the present invention For example, a road signal device includes: a socket, a dome lens is mounted on the socket, and a lighting mechanism is mounted on the socket. 'The dome lens is a material, which can result from the lighting mechanism. The light can be refracted by the dog and can be guided in a desired direction, for example, towards the sight of the driver of an oncoming vehicle, and is located in the sight of the driver of an oncoming vehicle. A further embodiment of the present invention is a road signal device. 3 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21 × X 297).

Description of the invention (彡) The placement system includes: a socket, a dome lens is mounted on the socket, a reflection A mechanism is mounted on the socket, and a lighting mechanism is mounted on the socket. The dome lens is a material that can cause light or reflected light to be refracted and can be guided in a desired direction. For example, it can be oriented towards the sight of the oncoming vehicle's driver's shell, and can be located on the sight of the oncoming vehicle's driver. Preferably, the material of the dome lens and the sharp circle of the dome The curvature of the top surface allows the entering rays of different angles to be refracted onto the reflecting mechanism, and can return substantially along the same path of the entering rays. This degree of refraction can take into account the difference between the height of the vehicle's headlights and the driver's line of sight, so that light from the headlights can be reflected at an angle with the driver's eyes. Similarly, the sharp material of the dome and the curvature of the dome surface of the dome lens can cause the light emitted by the lighting mechanism to be refracted in a divergent manner, so that the emitted light can be diffused. Therefore, by installing the socket in the road and making the ® top lens slightly protrude from the road surface and stand upright, the light from the headlight of an oncoming vehicle is roughly parallel to the road surface, and the dome lens Flickering above, part of the light is refracted by the dome lens to be able to flicker above the reflecting mechanism, from which the light can return to the dome lens and be refracted sharply through the dome , And can be guided back to the vehicle's driving shell 'or the light from the lighting mechanism can be refracted equally. With the shape of the dome lens, the damage caused by the oncoming vehicle to the dome lens can be greatly reduced, and the damage to the cyclist and the cyclist can be greatly reduced. Similarly, the size of this paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) J.!

Invention Description (f), and when the road must be snow cleared to remove the snowdrift, a snowplow scraper is across the dome lens And the possibility of causing significant damage will be clearly removed. In addition, the location of the signal device will be allowed to cross the road at the sidewalk, where at the sidewalk, because the damage is caused by the passing traffic, the positioning of the road reflector is not practical. Friction damage will be caused to the surface of the dome lens by the contact of the road vehicle and by the contact of the snow blower. Therefore, preferably, the sharply domed material is a so-called "self-healing" plastic material, in other words, it is a material with memory that can cause scratches on its surface to be automatically eliminated. In order to eliminate the possibility of causing significant damage, the dome lens system can be mounted on the socket and has an insert elastic seal which allows the dome lens to contact a road wheel of a vehicle or contact a The blade of the snowplow can be pressed. Therefore, the dome lens system may be a solid block made of a suitable transparent self-recovering plastic material, the solid block is installed to be movable in the socket, and the reflection mechanism or lighting mechanism The dome can be positioned on the mounting plate in the socket, and the dome penetrating system has a lower surface with a groove to accommodate the reflection mechanism or the lighting mechanism. With a slight dome effect, it will lead to a result, even if dry dust falls from the top to the perimeter, the dome is still very clean, and it will effectively clean the dome in the wet weather. The surface of the lens.

Description of the invention (t) The corner cube reflector can reflect light to the ® top lens through an intensity higher than that of a simple mirror or a rectangular lens, and the lighting mechanism can It is a light bulb, but preferably, the lighting mechanism is an LED. Although the dome lens is secured on top, the light can be turned on the reflection mechanism at the correct angle, and an insertion unit can be incorporated into the dome lens to ensure that the light The vehicle can be turned to the required angle, and can return from the vehicle to the reflection mechanism, and return to the vehicle from the reflection mechanism. When an illuminatable mechanism is used, an identical insertion system located in the dome lens can be used. When the illuminatable mechanism is located in the socket, for example, a photosensitive battery may also be present, and a capacitor or a battery may be combined. At the same time, the circuit can be driven by the electric power from the photosensitive batteries and the capacitors or batteries, and the sensor can be combined to enable the signaling device to provide a variety of other functions. When LEDs are installed * The LE D series can be used as a simple lighting mechanism or can provide the convenience of a rear and rear bumper, as described and claimed in British Patent No. 0 5 7 8 4 1 3. It will be possible to provide a detection mechanism that can be used for icicles and upright water columns, with an LED of the appropriate color, to alert oncoming driving shellfish, and to detect stationary vehicles, and again have Illumination with a suitably colored LED. In the case of poor visibility, the photosensitive open relationship can be installed, so that the LED lighting can provide a fixed path for a driver to follow, and in the case of dense fog, the sensor can be installed in the circle On the surface of the top lens, it is able to sense the establishment of moisture and can form a circuit. 6 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the note on the back first 'Φ Written on this page ---- S Order --------- · 1225115 A7 B7 V.
