Description

It mainly relates to self-supporting signboards that are installed on roadsides or construction sites to call attention.

  Until now, the warning signs installed on the side of roads, construction sites, etc., were mainly written with a warning sign written on the sign body made of metal panels and a letter sticker attached. In recent years, a sign having higher visibility has been developed by using a fluorescent paint or a reflective paint on a sign base or a cautionary character. For example, it is Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 10-204837 (refer patent document 1).

However, the above-mentioned warning signs, particularly the self-supporting signboards installed on the roadsides or construction sites, have had serious problems that have not been solved so far. The problem is that the back of the self-supporting signboard is always a blind spot for people who want to call attention, such as a driving driver, a person on a bicycle or a pedestrian. This is because the sign body of the self-supporting signboard does not have transparency. From the blind spot behind this sign body, for example, there is a possibility that animals such as children, bicycles, vehicles, dogs and cats suddenly jump out, obstacles such as stones, etc., cause of serious accidents due to encounter collision etc. It will be accompanied.
In view of this, the present inventor proposed a new utility model that can eliminate a blind spot behind the sign body by making the sign body of the warning sign a transmission type in the registered utility model No. 3125519 (see Patent Document 2). Proposed a warning sign.

However, in the above device, since it is a self-supporting type, even if a heavy stone is placed between the outer peripheral frame that fixes the sign body and the support leg so that it cannot be easily overturned by a strong wind or the like, There is a risk of falling, and there is a problem that injured or scratched passersby, bicycles, cars, etc. in contact.
Therefore, it has been proposed to use an elastic cover having a slit in a cylindrical body, which has been conventionally used for preventing freezing of water pipes. For example, JP-A-8-262985 (see Patent Document 3), JP-A-8-030207 (see Patent Document 4), Utility Model Registration No. 3081533 (see Patent Document 5), and the like.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-204837 Registered Utility Model No. 3125519 JP-A-8-262985 JP-A-8-030207 Utility Model Registration No. 3081533

However, when using an elastic cover with a slit in the cylindrical body as described above, of course, it is not good in appearance, but in particular, it is difficult to process the corner portion of the outer peripheral frame that fixes the sign body, The danger was hardly eliminated because the part was not correctly attached.
In addition, since the structure has only a slit in the cylindrical body, there is a problem that it is difficult to attach firmly to the outer frame or the support leg for fixing the sign body, and it is easy to come off and to be damaged.
Therefore, the present invention has a good appearance because the shock-absorbing elastic body having a U-shaped cross section is attached in close contact with the joint surface between the outer frame and the support leg, and in particular, the corner of the outer frame that fixes the sign body. It is intended to provide a self-supporting signboard in which the danger can be surely protected and the danger is almost eliminated by attaching the part accurately.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention
It is a self-supporting signboard mainly installed on roads and construction sites,
A sign body with a warning text display,
An outer peripheral frame for fixing the sign body;
It consists of support legs attached to the back of the outer frame,

In the self-supporting signboard of the present invention, the shock-absorbing elastic body having the U-shaped cross section includes an L-shaped elastic body that protects corners of the outer peripheral frame that fixes the sign body, and a linear elastic body that protects other portions. It is also characterized by comprising a combination with the body.

In the self-supporting signboard of the present invention, the shock-absorbing elastic body having the U-shaped cross section is selected from a synthetic rubber material, a foamed plastic material such as urethane or polyethylene foam, and a recycled plastic material having elasticity. Is also characterized (claim 2).

The self-supporting signboard according to the present invention is characterized in that the elastic body for shock absorption having a U-shaped cross section contains a retroreflective filler in the material.

The self-supporting signboard according to the present invention is characterized in that the elastic body for shock buffering having a U-shaped cross section is attached to the joint surface between the outer peripheral frame and the support leg via an adhesive tape. .

According to the self-supporting signboard according to the present invention, the shock-absorbing elastic body having a U-shaped cross section is attached in close contact with the joint surface between the outer peripheral frame and the support leg, so that it looks good. It is possible to reliably protect the corner portion of the outer peripheral frame to be fixed, and it is possible to provide a self-supporting signboard in which the danger is almost eliminated by attaching the portion accurately.
In addition, since the shock-absorbing elastic body having a U-shaped cross section is attached in close contact with the joint surface between the outer frame and the support leg, it can be firmly attached to the outer frame or the support leg for fixing the sign body. It is possible to provide a self-supporting signboard that is difficult to be detached and damaged.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a self-supporting signboard according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a self-supporting signboard 1 according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view before assembly of an embodiment of the self-supporting signboard 1 according to the present invention. 3A and 3B are a rear view and a side view of the self-supporting signboard 1 shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b) are front views showing how the embodiment of the self-supporting signboard 1 according to the present invention looks day and night, and FIG. 5 is attached to the outer peripheral frame and support legs of the self-supporting signboard. FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the elastic body mounted on the outer peripheral frame and support legs of the self-supporting signboard, and FIG. 7 is the self-supporting signboard. It is a perspective view of the elastic body with which the corner | angular frame of this is mounted | worn.

1 and 2 are a perspective view of an embodiment of a self-supporting signboard 1 according to the present invention and a perspective view before assembly. The illustrated self-standing signboard 1 includes a sign body 2, an outer peripheral frame 3, and support legs 4.
The marker main body 2 is shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, but a punching metal having innumerable holes 2-1 is used as a material. Thereby, the scenery behind the sign body 2 can be seen through. The inventor has verified the visibility of the background by the hole diameter of the punching metal and the color of the surface of the punching metal. When the diameter of the hole 2-1 shown in FIG. 2 is 3 mm or more, a striped pattern appears and it is difficult to see the background. Therefore, when the diameter of the hole 2-1 is 2 mm, the background is best visually recognized. did it. In addition, since the color behind the punching metal surface is difficult to visually recognize the scenery behind the sign body in the light color system, the surface of the sign body may be applied in a dark color system, for example, black. In this embodiment, yellow and black striped coloring is applied, but this ensures that the presence of a self-supporting signboard can be noticed and recognized.
In addition, a reflective material (or fluorescent material) is used for the caution character display 5 to be affixed to the sign body 2, and a reflective material (or fluorescent material) cut into an arbitrary character is appropriately arranged in the center of the sign body 2. Affix. Thus, sufficient visibility can be ensured regardless of day and night by using a reflective material or a fluorescent material for the caution character display 5.
With the configuration as described above, the self-supporting signboard 1 can visually recognize the presence of, for example, a person, a bicycle, a car, and other obstacles behind the sign body 2 and can be sufficiently careful.

The outer peripheral frame 3 is preferably a metal frame having a rectangular shape, and has a leg 6 at the lower end of the outer peripheral frame 3. In addition, a foldable support leg 4 is provided on the back surface of the outer peripheral frame 3 where the sign body 2 is fixed to enable installation in a stepladder state. The above-described marker body 2 is fixed by screwing to the marker body fixing holes 7 provided at a plurality of locations on the marker body 2 fixing surface of the outer peripheral frame 3. In addition, by attaching the reflecting material 8 (or fluorescent material) on the fixed surface of the sign main body 2 and the back frame of the outer peripheral frame 3, the shape of the sign can be sufficiently visually recognized regardless of day or night. Incidentally, when the reflecting material 8 (or fluorescent material) is not attached to the outer peripheral frame 3, only the caution character display 5 is lifted up and it is strange, and the existence of the outer peripheral frame 3 is not known and is dangerous. The material of the outer peripheral frame 3 can be any material as long as the sign body 2 can be fixedly held and is hard enough not to be deformed by an impact caused by transportation or the like.

With such a configuration, the caution character display 5 and the outer peripheral frame 3 ensure sufficient visibility with a reflective material (or fluorescent material), and a punching metal is used for the sign body 2. The surface behind the sign body 2 can be clearly recognized by applying the surface of the material to a dark color system, for example, black. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently eliminate the dangerous blind spot behind the conventional sign.

In this device, as shown in FIG. 1, shock absorbing elastic bodies 21 and 22 having a U-shaped cross section are provided on the outer frame 3 and the support leg 4, and a double-sided adhesive film is provided on the joint surface between the outer frame 3 and the support leg 4. It is attached via an adhesive layer 23 using the like. The elastic bodies 21 and 22 are used in a combination of a linear elastic body 21 attached to a linear outer peripheral frame portion and an L-shaped elastic body 22 that protects the corners of the outer peripheral frame 3.
The shock-absorbing elastic bodies 21 and 22 having a U-shaped cross section are preferably selected from synthetic rubber materials, foamed plastic materials such as urethane and polyethylene foam, and recycled plastic materials having elasticity, Moreover, as the elastic bodies 21 and 22 for shock buffering having a U-shaped cross section, a retroreflective filler is contained in the material. Glass beads or the like can be used as the retroreflective filler.
When the shock absorbing elastic bodies 21 and 22 having a U-shaped cross section of the present invention are attached to the outer peripheral frame 3, it is not necessary to attach the reflecting material 8 (or fluorescent material) to the outer peripheral frame 3. When the shock absorbing elastic bodies 21 and 22 having a cross section are applied only to the main part of the outer peripheral frame 3, it is desirable to attach the reflecting material 8 (or fluorescent material) to the outer peripheral frame 3.

3A and 3B are a rear view and a side view of the self-supporting signboard 1 shown in FIGS.
The illustrated self-supporting signboard 1 includes a sign body 2, an outer frame 3 that fixes the sign body 2, and support legs 4 that are attached to the back surface of the outer frame 3. As shown in FIG. 3A, the back surface of the sign body 2 is coated with a dark color system, for example, black, on the same surface as the front face of the sign body. Thereby, the other side separated by the said sign can be fully visually recognized also from the back of the sign of the present invention. Moreover, as shown in FIG.3 (b), the outer periphery flame | frame 3 has provided the support leg attaching part 9 in the back middle part. The end of the support leg 4 is rotatably attached to the support leg attaching part 9 of the outer peripheral frame 3. With this structure, when the sign is transported, the support leg 4 is folded so as to be in contact with the outer frame, and the space is saved. When the sign is installed, the support leg 4 is opened to open the stepladder state. This makes stable installation possible.
The elastic bodies 21 and 22 for shock buffering having a U-shaped cross section are mounted on the outer frame 3 and the support leg 4, respectively, but the support leg mounting portion 9 portion of the outer frame 3 is notched. Can do. Reference numeral 24 denotes the notch.

4 (a) and 4 (b) are front views showing how the self-supporting signboard 1 according to the present invention looks day and night. The self-supporting sign 1 shown in the figure is a conventional sign 10 from the left side, a sign 11 in which the reflective material 8 (or fluorescent material) is not attached to the outer peripheral frame 3 of the present invention, and a reflective material 8 on the outer peripheral frame 3 of the present invention. (Or fluorescent material). Further, FIG. 4 (a) is a diagram expressing the appearance when illuminated in the daytime and FIG. 4 (b) is illuminated at night with, for example, a car light.
In the case of daytime in FIG. 4 (a), a person 13 standing behind can hardly be seen with the conventional sign 10, but the sign 11 of the present invention using punching metal that can be seen through the back of the sign body 2 and 12, it can be seen that the person 13 standing behind can also be fully recognized.

Further, in the case of the night of FIG. 4B, it can be seen that the conventional sign 9 only shows the caution character display 5 and the person 13 standing behind the sign and the back of the sign is hardly visible. However, in the signs 11 and 12 of the present invention using the punching metal that can be seen through the back of the sign body 2, the car light shines through the sign body 2 and illuminates the person 13 standing behind the sign body 2. It becomes possible to visually recognize. Furthermore, in the case of the sign 12 in which the reflecting material 8 (or the fluorescent material) is pasted on the outer peripheral frame 3 of the present invention, it can be seen that the outer periphery of the sign of the present invention can be sufficiently visually recognized. Of course, the same applies to the case where the shock-absorbing elastic bodies 21 and 22 having a U-shaped cross section containing a retroreflective filler are used.
As described above, in the sign of the present invention, a punching metal that can be seen through the back of the sign body 2 is used, and a dark color system is applied to the surface of the punching metal, thereby existing in the conventional sign. The danger of blind spots behind can be sufficiently eliminated, and the shock absorber of the U-shaped cross section containing a reflective material (or fluorescent material) or a retroreflective filler on the outer peripheral frame. By using the elastic bodies 21 and 22 for use, the outer periphery of the sign can be sufficiently visually confirmed.

Next, in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 showing the shock absorbing elastic bodies 21 and 22 having a U-shaped cross section mounted on the outer peripheral frame and the support leg of the self-standing signboard, FIG. It is for demonstrating the linear elastic body 21 with which it is mounted | worn.
An adhesive layer 23 using a double-sided adhesive film or the like is formed on the inner surface constituted by the side surface and the inner back surface of the linear elastic body 21 having a U-shaped cross section. Of course, although not shown in the figure, the adhesive layer 23 is prevented from functioning by using release paper or the like before use.
In use, the release paper is peeled off and the linear elastic body 21 is attached to a predetermined position of the outer frame 3 so that it can be attached very easily. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing an attached state of the linear elastic body 21.

FIG. 7 is for explaining the L-shaped elastic body 22 attached to the corner of the outer peripheral frame 3.
The L-shaped elastic body 22 having a U-shaped cross section can be formed into an L-shape by cutting a linear elastic body into a V-shape at the opening side and bending it at a right angle, even if a molded body previously formed into an L-shape is used. It may be assembled. Similar to the linear elastic body 21, an adhesive layer 23 using a double-sided adhesive film or the like is formed on the inner surface constituted by the side surface and the inner back surface of the L-shaped elastic body 22. Of course, although not shown in the figure, the adhesive layer 23 is prevented from functioning by using release paper or the like before use.
In use, the release paper is peeled off and the linear elastic body 21 is attached to the corner portion of the outer peripheral frame 3 so that it can be attached very easily.
