Description

  The present invention relates to a line-of-sight guidance mark that is installed on, for example, a road surface or a wall surface and is guided by a pedestrian or a bicycle rider.

  Conventionally, a line-of-sight guidance mark for guiding a traveling vehicle traveling on a road is provided, for example, attached to a road shoulder or a guard rail. Patent document 1 is given as an example of such a line-of-sight guidance mark. In order to safely walk not only vehicles but also pedestrians, it is conceivable to use a gaze guidance mark instead of road guidance at a place where it is easily guided or lost. The same applies to bicycles.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-31928

However, in the case of a vehicle, it is possible to cause the driver to visually recognize the gaze guidance mark by reflecting strong light from the headlight at night to the reflector of the gaze guidance sign at night, but does not have such illumination means. Even if a pedestrian can see the gaze guidance mark in the daytime, the gaze guidance sign cannot be seen in a dark situation such as at night. Bicycles do not have so strong illumination means, so it is considered that the situation is close to pedestrians. Therefore, a gaze guidance mark for pedestrians or bicycle riders who can play a role even in the dark has been demanded.
An object of the present invention is to provide a line-of-sight guide for a pedestrian or a bicycle rider who can be seen sufficiently even in the dark.

As a first means for achieving the above object, a light beam projected from an oblique direction in a gaze guidance mark installed on the surface of a road surface or a wall surface to guide a pedestrian or a bicycle rider to visually observe the same. A transparent plate having a thin plate-like appearance, and a reflecting plate surrounding portion that is arranged so as to surround the reflecting plate and has a light emitting surface made of a phosphorescent material formed on the surface of the reflecting plate. The gist is that it is housed in a case so as not to move.
In addition to the first means, the second means is a frame member disposed so as to surround the transparent case so that the reflector and the reflector surrounding portion can be exposed.
In addition to the first or second means as the third means, the gist is that at least one surface of the transparent case or the frame part is anti-slip processed.

  In the gaze guidance mark of the present invention, even when the surroundings are dark, such as at night, the reflector enveloping part emits light so that it can be seen. Since the light is reflected in the direction of the illuminated person, the installation position is very easy to understand. Therefore, it is suitable as a gaze guidance mark for a dark pedestrian or bicycle rider.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments embodying the gaze guidance mark of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the line-of-sight guidance mark includes a reflecting plate 1, a phosphorescent plate 2, a transparent case 3 that houses the reflecting plate 1 and the phosphorescent plate 2, and an enclosing frame 4. As shown in FIG. 2A, the reflection plate 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped plastic plate having an aspect ratio of 4: 1 and having a high-brightness reflection surface 1a using a trihedral prism element formed on the surface. . The trihedral prism element is formed so as to be mirror-image symmetric at the center position in the longitudinal direction (that is, the reflecting surface faces the opposite direction with the center as a boundary). Since the length of the reflecting plate 1 corresponds to the length of one side of the inner periphery of the housing recess 9 described later (actually, it is slightly short to be housed in the housing recess 9). The shaped reflector 1 can be accommodated. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the phosphorescent plate 2 is smoothly cut out at the corner where the square opening 5 is formed at the center where the phosphorescent layer 2a made mainly of the phosphorescent material is formed on the surface of the cardboard. It is a thin plate having a substantially square shape. The outer peripheral shape of the phosphorescent plate 2 substantially matches the inner peripheral shape of the outer peripheral wall portion 7b described later, and the inner peripheral shape of the opening 5 substantially matches the outer peripheral shape of the first inner wall portion 7c described later.

The reflector 1 and the phosphorescent plate 2 are enclosed in a transparent case 3. The transparent case 3 includes a case body 7 and a case lid 8. As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 4 (a), the case body 7 has a substantially square bottom plate 7a with corners in four directions cut out smoothly, and an outer peripheral wall erected on the entire periphery of the bottom plate 7a. A portion 7b is provided. A first inner wall portion 7c and a second inner wall portion 7d are erected on the inner position of the outer peripheral wall portion 7b with a predetermined distance from the outer peripheral wall portion 7b. The inside of the second inner wall portion 7d is an accommodation recess 9 in which the reflecting plate 1 is accommodated. Similarly, the height from the upper surface of the bottom plate 7a to the upper end of the second inner wall portion 7d coincides with the height from the upper surface of the bottom plate 7a to the upper end of the outer peripheral wall portion 7b, and only the height of the first inner wall portion 7c is slightly. (4.5 mm, which is the thickness of the phosphorescent layer 2a) is low. The height from the upper surface of the bottom plate 7a to the upper end of the second inner wall portion 7d matches the thickness d of the reflecting plate 1 to be accommodated.
The case lid 8 includes a ceiling plate 8a and an outer peripheral hanging wall portion 8b suspended from the entire periphery of the ceiling plate 8a. Hemispherical projections 11 that are non-slip are formed on the upper surface of the ceiling plate 8a in a scattered manner. Through holes 10 communicating in the front and back direction are formed at the four corners of the case lid 8. The length from the back surface of the ceiling plate 8a to the lower end of the outer peripheral hanging wall portion 8b matches the height from the rear surface of the bottom plate 7a to the upper end of the second outer peripheral wall portion 7b. The shapes of the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall portion 7b and the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral hanging wall portion 8b are the same. For this reason, when the case lid 8 is fitted to the case body 7, the lower end of the outer peripheral hanging wall portion 8b and the height of the back surface of the bottom plate 7a coincide with each other, and the transparent case 3 has a thin plate-like substantially low height as a whole. A rectangular parallelepiped shape will be exhibited.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the four reflecting plates 1 are accommodated in the accommodating recess 9 of the case body 7, and the phosphorescent plate 2 is disposed between the outer peripheral wall portion 7b and the second inner wall portion 7d. Then, the opening 5 is placed on the first inner wall 7c so as to surround the inner wall 7d. In this state, the height of the upper end of the outer peripheral wall portion 7b, the upper surface of the phosphorescent plate 2, the upper end of the second inner wall portion 7d, and the upper surface of the reflecting plate 1 are the same. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the case lid 8 is covered, and the reflection plate 1 and the phosphorescent plate 2 are removed from the transparent case 3 by welding the joint between the case body 7 and the case lid 8 by laser welding. Can be sealed without wobbling.
The line-of-sight guide having such a configuration is fixed and installed at an arbitrary position on the road surface and wall surface with an anchor member through the through hole 10, and the outer periphery thereof is surrounded by the surrounding frame 4 (FIG. 4B). State). The outer peripheral surface of the surrounding frame 4 is an inclined surface 4a whose height gradually decreases downward. On the upper surface of the surrounding frame 4, hemispherical projections 13 are formed in a scattered manner to prevent slipping.

If it is a gaze guidance mark of the above composition, the following effects will be produced.
(1) When installed on the road surface or wall surface, the gaze guidance mark can be seen during the day, and at the same time, the phosphorescent plate 2 shines even when it gets dark. it can.
(2) Since the light projected from the bicycle or the flashlight is reflected in the projection direction when the light is projected obliquely by the reflector 1, visibility is further improved.

Note that the present invention can be modified and embodied as follows.
-The external shape of the said gaze guidance mark is an example, Comprising: It is also free to comprise by another shape. The outer shape and material of the surrounding frame 4 are the same.
-You may make it install a gaze guidance mark, without using the surrounding frame 4. FIG.
-The protrusions 11 and 13 that prevent slipping may be omitted.
-In addition, it is free to implement in a mode that does not depart from the spirit of the present invention.
