Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a standing signboard, which is a freestanding signboard. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Signboards are often used at construction sites, roadside shops, event venues, etc. to attract the attention of passersby and participants. However, on windy days, the signboards can be blown over by the wind or moved far from their installed locations, which can be very dangerous (there are safety issues). For this reason, weights are attached to standing signs to ensure safety (Patent Documents 1 to 3, etc.). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-059209 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-093566 [Patent Document 3] Utility Model Registration No. 3202717 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Certainly, attaching weights to signboards will definitely improve their safety. However, this is a cumbersome process as it requires the preparation of separate weights at the site where the signboard is to be installed.In addition, the weights are heavy, so transporting and installing them requires a lot of effort.

[0005] On the other hand, at sites where signboards are installed (especially construction sites), road cones (also known as colored cones: registered trademark) are almost always available as safety devices. In recent years, heavy cones, which are heavy in weight, have become widely used. The inventors of the present invention therefore wondered whether these road cones (heavy cones) could be used as signboards, and came up with the present invention. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The first invention of the present application is a ramp for a standing signboard, which comprises a signboard main body having a display portion and a support body behind the signboard main body that supports the signboard main body and allows it to stand upright, and which is characterized by forming a sloped section extending from the erection section erected between the signboard main body and the support body to the side opposite the signboard main body in order to place heavy objects on the erection section. The second invention is a ramp for a standing signboard according to the first invention, characterized in that the erection section and the slope section are integrated. The third invention is a ramp for a standing signboard according to the second invention, characterized in that the erection section and the slope section are bendable. The fourth invention is a ramp for a standing signboard according to the first invention, characterized in that it is attached to the attachment part of the support body to which the erection part is attached. A fifth invention is a signboard ramp according to any one of the first to fourth inventions, characterized in that the heavy object is a road cone. The sixth invention is a standing signboard comprising a signboard body having a display portion and a support body behind the signboard body that supports the signboard body and allows it to stand upright, characterized in that it comprises an erection section that is erected between the signboard body and the support body to place heavy objects on it, and a slope section that extends from the erection section toward the side opposite the signboard body. The seventh invention is a standing signboard according to the sixth invention, characterized in that the erection section and the slope section are constructed as a single unit that can be bent freely, and are stored in a bent state on the back of the signboard body. An eighth invention is the signboard according to the sixth or seventh invention, characterized in that the heavy object is a road cone. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The present invention has the following effects. (1) The ramp for the standing sign forms a sloped section extending from the erection section erected between the sign body and the support body toward the opposite side of the sign body, and this sloped section can be used to place heavy objects on the erection section. (2) The ramp for the signboard is an integrated unit consisting of the erection section and the slope section, eliminating the need to prepare the erection section and the slope section separately. (3) The signboard ramp can be folded up for compact storage by making the erection section and slope section of the ramp an integrated unit that can be bent freely. Specifically, the signboard ramp with the erection section and slope section folded up can be stored on the back of the signboard itself. (4) The ramp for the standing sign is a standalone type that is attached to the mounting part of the support body on which the erection part is attached, so that the existing erection part can be used to form the ramp part. (5) By using road cones as the heavy objects to be placed on the installation section, road cones already available at the site where the signboard is to be installed (for example, a construction site) can be effectively utilized. Furthermore, since the road cones can be tilted and rolled up the slope without having to be lifted, the installation work of the road cones can be carried out extremely safely and easily. In particular, if the base of the road cone that contacts the slope is horizontally circular, it can be rolled smoothly up the slope. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a ramp for a standing signboard according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0010] 1 to 6 are explanatory diagrams illustrating a first embodiment of a ramp for a standing signboard according to the present invention. First, FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a ramp 10 for a standing signboard. The signboard ramp 10 is an integrated type in which an erection section 20 erected between the signboard body and the support and a slope section 30 are connected in a bendable manner.

[0011] FIG. 1(a) illustrates a state in which the bridge portion 20 and the slope portion 30 are folded. FIG. 1(b) illustrates a state in which the slope section 30 is opened from the erection section 20. The bridge portion 20 and the slope portion 30 are connected by a hinge 40 and are rotatable. The erecting section 20 has mounting pieces 21, 21 for attaching the erecting section 20 to the signboard body, and locking sections 23, 23 for attaching the erecting section 20 to a support. The mounting pieces 21, 21 are bendable. The erecting section 20 also has a hooking section 25 that is stretchable in the longitudinal direction.

[0012] Next, FIGS. 2 to 5 show the state in which the signboard ramp 10 is attached to the signboard 70. As shown in FIG. The signboard 70 comprises a signboard body 80 having a display part 81, and a support body 90 behind the signboard body 80 for supporting the signboard body 80 and allowing it to stand on its own. The signboard main body 80 is composed of a plate-shaped display portion 81 and a frame. The frame is made up of left and right vertical frames 82, 82 and horizontal frames (upper horizontal frame 83, middle horizontal frame 84, lower horizontal frame 85) connecting the left and right vertical frames 82, 82. The support body 90 has a pair of support legs 91, 91, the tips of which are rotatably connected to the vertical frames 82, 82 of the signboard body 80. In addition, an attachment portion 93 is provided at a position corresponding to the lower horizontal frame 85 of the signboard body 80 so as to connect the support legs 91, 91.

[0013] As shown in Figure 2, the standing sign slope 10 is stored in a folded state behind the sign body 80. At this time, the mounting pieces 21, 21 of the erection part 20 of the standing sign slope 10 are inserted between the lower horizontal frame 85 of the sign body 80 and the display part 81, and the approximately L-shaped hooking part 25 of the erection part 20 is hooked onto the middle horizontal frame 84 of the sign body 80. This ensures that the standing sign slope 10 is securely stored behind the sign body 80.

[0014] Then, the hooking portion 25 is extended to release the hooked state with the middle horizontal frame 84 (FIG. 2(1)), and while returning the hooking portion 25 to its original position (FIG. 3(2)), the standing sign slope 10 is tilted sideways toward the mounting portion 93, using the bendable portions of the mounting pieces 21, 21 as fulcrums (FIG. 3(3)). The tilted standing sign slope 10 is attached to the standing sign 70 by engaging the roughly U-shaped locking portions 23, 23 of the erecting portion 20 with the mounting portion 93 of the support body 90 (FIG. 4(4)). The slope portion 30 is then rotated about the hinges 40, 40 to abut against the installation surface, thereby providing a slope for the standing sign 70 (FIG. 5). Note that the reverse procedure is followed when storing the standing sign slope 10 in the sign body 80.

[0015] Furthermore, FIG. 6 illustrates how a heavy object is placed on the erection section 20 using the signboard ramp 10. Here, a heavy cone 100, which is a road cone with a high specific gravity, is used as the heavy object. The heavy cone 100 is a safety item (security item) that is almost always prepared at a site where a standing signboard 70 is required, and if it can be used as a weight for the standing signboard 70, it will be an effective use of the safety item (security item). Furthermore, if the weight cone 100 has a base portion 101 that is horizontally circular, tilting the weight cone 100 will cause the horizontally circular base portion 101 to come into contact with the installation surface (Fig. 6(a)), and the weight cone 100 can be rolled up the slope portion 30 smoothly, and placed on the erection portion 20 (Fig. 6(b)). Note that the weight cone 100 to be rolled is not limited to one, and multiple weight cones stacked on top of each other may be rolled as is. In this case, however, it is sufficient that the base portion 101 of the weight cone 100 located at the bottom is horizontally circular (because the weight cone 100 that comes into contact with the installation surface is the one located at the bottom). ) .

[0016] 7 and 8 are explanatory diagrams illustrating a second embodiment of a ramp for a standing signboard according to the present invention. First, FIG. 7 shows an overall view of a ramp 50 for standing signs. The standing sign slope 50 is a standalone type that comprises a slope section 51 separately from the installation section that is installed between the sign body and the support. In addition, one longitudinal end of the slope section 51 is provided with approximately U-shaped locking sections 53, 53 for locking onto the mounting section 93 of the support 90.

[0017] Next, FIG. 8 illustrates the state in which the signboard ramp 50 is attached to the signboard 70. As shown in FIG. 8( a ), the existing erection section 60 is attached to a signboard 70 . As shown in FIG. 8(b), the locking portions 53, 53 of the standing signboard ramp 50 are locked to the mounting portion 93 of the support body 90 to which the erection portion 60 is attached. As shown in FIG. 8( c ), the signboard ramp 50 in which the locking portions 53 , 53 are locked to the mounting portion 93 can form a slope portion 51 continuing to the erection portion 60 . The manner in which a heavy cone, which is a heavy object, is placed on the erection section 20 with respect to the slope section 51 thus formed is the same as that shown in FIG. [Industrial Applicability]

[0018] The "signboard ramp" of the present invention can be widely used for freestanding signboards, but can also be used for barricades such as A-type barricades. [Explanation of symbols]
