Abstract

To solve the problem with conventional curb stone blocks that, to use curb stones is very costly because the main material is basically concrete and separate molds must be made when changing the shape.SOLUTION: A curb stone identification plate (nameplate) that can be arranged in accordance with the shape of at least the undercut portion of a curb stone and displays predetermined information is provided with means for detachably joining the curb stone identification plate (nameplate). The surface layer has a two-layer structure, so it can be detached and replaced at any time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a curbstone nameplate (nameplate) system for providing up-to-date information by means of nameplates (nameplates) installed on curbs that are visible to people traveling on road spaces. [Background technology]

[0002] A curb is a block, usually made of concrete, placed at the boundary between the sidewalk and the roadway in the road space. The curb has a certain strength and functions to protect pedestrians walking on the sidewalk from vehicles traveling on the roadway. It is common to see curb cut-offs painted to improve visibility. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Conventional curbstone blocks had the following problems: When trying to use curbstones, because the main material is basically concrete, if you want to change the shape, you have to make a separate mold for it, which is very expensive.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and aims to provide a curbstone nameplate (nameplate) whose surface layer can be effectively removed and replaced at any time.

[0005] The inventors have an object to provide a highly responsive local information transmission system that is suitable for providing the latest information not only to the local area but also to people passing through. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The first invention, which has been made to solve the above problems, is a curb nameplate (nameplate) that displays specified information, and is characterized by being able to be positioned to match the shape of at least the undercut portion of the curb and having a means for removably joining the curb nameplate (nameplate), and is characterized in that the surface portion can be removed and replaced at any time.

[0007] The second invention is a curb nameplate (nameplate) that can be placed to match the shape of at least the undercut portion of the curb described in the first invention, and is characterized by having a means for removably attaching the curb nameplate (nameplate), and is characterized by having a surface portion that can be freely removed and replaced at any time, and a two-dimensional code that can be read by a mobile terminal in the form of a QR code on the surface of the curb nameplate (nameplate) that displays information.

[0008] The third invention is characterized in that in a curbstone nameplate (nameplate) that displays information similar to that of the second invention, a two-dimensional code that can be read by a mobile device is a QR code, which transmits information such as public information about government facilities, public facilities, tourist destinations, and local related information.

[0009] The fourth invention is characterized in that the curbstone nameplate (nameplate) that displays information in the second invention provides guidance and information for disaster prevention and mitigation in disaster-prone areas.

[0010] The fifth invention is a curbstone nameplate (nameplate) that displays information similar to that of the second invention, characterized in that promotional materials with regional relevance are used to transmit information such as local characters, game items, audio information, video information, marks, logos, etc.

[0011] The sixth invention is characterized in that in the curbstone nameplate (nameplate) that displays information in the second invention, information is transmitted through promotional materials such as announcements of local related events and route guidance. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The present invention makes it possible to provide a method for easily utilizing a curb cut-off portion, whether newly constructed or already existing, without requiring a large amount of expense for separately manufacturing a curb molding mold.

[0013] In addition, it can now be used to improve the landscape along roads and revitalize local areas. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] An explanatory diagram showing a curbstone nameplate (nameplate) of the present invention, in which a two-dimensional code that can be read by a mobile terminal on the surface of the curbstone nameplate (nameplate) that displays specified information is a QR code, (a) is an oblique view, and (b) is a cross-sectional view.
