Description

A SUPPORTING DEVICE FOR A BORDERLINE STONE PLACED ON A BORDER LINE OF A SIDEWALK OR A ROADWAY

BACKGROUND OF INVEMTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a support used when construction a boundary stone between a sidewalk and a roadway, and more particularly a support for the boundary stone, wherein because it is easily to carry out construction of the support by placing the support in the constructing place of the boundary stone, the work time and thereby the cost of construction can be reduced, and an alignment work of the high and the low and the state of the row of the boundary stones is easy, and the maintenance can be conveniently carried out because the broken and deviated boundary stones have only to be replaced.

2. Description of the Related Art

Generally, the boundary stone installed on a boundary line is used to divide a sidewalk and a roadway, and serves to distinct the sidewalk and the roadway and to prevent the vehicles from entering the sidewalk.

There are a boundary stone made of a native rock such as granite and a concrete boundary stone made of compressed concrete. The boundary stones can be classified into a straight-line type, a curved-line type, a bevel type, a roadside tree pot, a bollard type depending on the boundary line between the roadway and the sidewalk. Currently, the boundary stones made of stone and concrete are used in large.

The boundary stones are commonly manufactured into standard products in a factory. The stones are produced and used as a cube having a width of 180-250 mm, a height of 200-300 mm and a length of about 1 m. An edge thereof facing the roadway is chamfered to prevent the damage that can occur in the frequent collision.

When constructing the boundary stones, concrete is placed on the base ground hardened with gravel and sand etc., and then the boundary stone is placed on the base concrete that became somewhat hardened. Then, after correcting the high and the low and the state of the row of the placed boundary stone with other boundary stone, a mold facing the sidewalk is poured with concrete. After one day, a mold facing the roadway is poured with concrete.

The prior constructing method of the boundary stones as mentioned above has the problems that the worker should wait for some periods whenever pouring concrete, and confirm and correct the high and the low and the state of the row of the placed boundary stone with other boundary stones whenever pouring concrete. Accordingly, much working time is required. Moreover, when the high and the low and the state of the row of the placed boundary stone are irregular, it affects a bad influence on a fine spectacle. Accordingly, worker's skill is needed.

In addition, concrete is poured three times. Accordingly, much work-byproducts are generated, much working time and thus much expense are required.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art. According to the invention, because the support is placed in the constructing place of the boundary stones between the roadway and the sidewalk, the height and the state of the row of the boundary stones can be aligned with regularity without the worker's skill, and the inconvenience of aligning the high and the low and the state of the row of the boundary stones whenever constructing the boundary stones is solved. In addition, because concrete is poured only one time, the work time can be shortened, and by-products don't be generated. Accordingly, the cost of construction can be reduced. According to the invention there is provided a support for a bound ary stone between sidewalk and roadway, comprising, a fixing member for fixing one support and other support; and a supporting member provided at both sides of the boundary stone and supporting the stone, wherein the supporting member comprises a supporting step including a inserting recess provided at an inner side thereof for inserting a ring used in moving the boundary stone, and a fixing groove longitudinally provided at an upper side of the supporting member for inserting and fixing a part of the fixing member.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention; FIG. 2 is a cross-section showing the invention; FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein wil 1 be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, there are provided a fixing member 10 for fixing a support and other support and a supporting member 20 for supporting a boundary stone 1.

The fixing member 10 is formed to be inserted and fixed to the supporting member 20 and other supporting member 10', to be elongated longitudinally and to have an U-shape whose upper part is opened. Preferably, the fixing member is made of bar steel and polyethylene (PE). In addition, the fixing member 10 is formed to have a curve, right angle or bevel shape depending on the shape of the supporting member. The supporting member 20 is provided at both sides of the boundary stone 1 for supporting it, and comprises a supporting step 21 having a inserting recess 21a provided at an inner side thereof for inserting a moving ring used in moving the boundary stone 1, and a fixing groove 22 longitudinally provided at an upper side of the supporting member for inserting and fixing a part of the fixing member 10.

Also, the supporting member is formed to have a curve, right angle or bevel shape depending on the shape of the road.

The supporting step 21 is longitudinally provided at both sides of the supporting member 20, serves to support and hold the boundary stone 1 when inserting the boundary stone, and includes the inserting recess 21a provided at the inner side thereof for inserting the moving ring used when moving the boundary stone 1. In addition, a side of the supporting step 21 facing the roadway is preferably chamfered to prevent the damage that can occur in the frequent collision.

The fixing groove 22 is longitudinally provided to form a groove at the upper side of the supporting member 20, for the purpose of inserting and fixing a part of the fixing member 10.

As shown in Fig. 3, a fixing protuberance is provided at front and back of one side of the fixing member 10 to prevent the fixing member from shaking in the fixing groove 22. The fixing member is preferably manufactured to have a H-shape. The supporting member 20 is formed with a locking step, in which the protuberance of the fixing member 10 is inserted and held, in the fixing groove 22 for supporting only one side of the boundary stone 1, and with the supporting step 21 having the inserting recess 21a provided at the inner side thereof, which is commonly used in the side of boundary stone facing the roadway.

Reference numbers 1, 2 and 3 indicate a boundary stone, mixed aggregate and earth and sand, respectively.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, after the supporting members 20 having a straight line, curve or bevel shape, which is manufactured to conform the shape of the road, are placed in a row on the boundary line of the base ground, on winch the boundary stones are constructed, hardened with gravel and sand etc., the fixing grooves 22 of the supporting member 20 and other supporting member 10' are aligned to be horizontal, and then the fixing member 10 is inserted into the fixing groove 22 and held to be immobile.

As described above, when a plurality of supporting members 20 are placed in a row, the boundary stone 1 manufactured to conform the shape of the supporting member 20 is moved by using the moving ring and then slowly laid down to be supported by the supporting step 21 of the supporting member 20.

When doing so, it is possible to prevent the boundary stone 1 and the supporting member 20 from being broken by inserting the moving ring into the recess 21a and making the boundary stone 1 be coherent up to the upper side of the supporting member 20.

By placing the boundary stone 1 as mentioned above, when the heights of ends of the boundary stones are different, the boundary stones 1 can be maintained to be a regularly aligned state by tapping and lowering the higher boundary stone with a wooden hammer, without a worker's skill.

Also, a play is provided between the boundary stone 1 and the supporting member 20, so that the space between the boundary stones can be controlled in aligning the stones. After placing the boundary stone 1, the play is filled with sand and mortar.

When all the boundary stones 1 are placed in a row as mentioned above, molds are installed at the sides of the sidewalk and the roadway. It is possible to shorten the construction time and to nrinimize the work by-products by placing mixed aggregate, concrete 4 and earth and sand 3 in the sidewalk, at the sides of the roadway and the sidewalk, respectively.

As shown in Fig. 3, because the supporting member 20 that has the supporting step 21 only at the one side is used at the roadway side, when pouring concrete, a slope causing running water to smoothly flow is formed.

In addition, because the fixing protuberance is provided at front and back of the fixing member 10 to prevent the fixing member from shaking in the fixing groove 22 and the groove is formed in the supporting member 20 to lock with the fixing member 10, the shaking of the fixing member 10 due to the slope of the road and the external shock can be prevented.

After constracting as mentioned above, when the boundary stone 1 is deviated by the external shock, the maintenance can be conveniently carried out because the broken and deviated boundary stones have only to be replaced and repositioned.

As mentioned above, according to the invention, a plurality of supports are aligned in the constructing place of the boundary stones between the roadway and the sidewalk, and then fixed by the fixing member. Accordingly, it is easily possible to align the high and the low and the state of the row of the boundary stone. Also, as concrete, earth and sand and mixed aggregate are poured at the same time at the sides of the roadway and the sidewalk, the work time can be reduced and work by-products don't be generated, thereby the cost of construction being reduced. Further, because the broken and deviated boundary stones due to the external shock have only to be replaced and repositioned, the maintenance can be conveniently carried out.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
