Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a display tower used to regulate traffic areas, bicycle parking areas, and parking areas on roads.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as a display tower for traffic control arranged on sidewalks, roadways, etc., for example, one formed by bending an iron plate into a mountain shape is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The display tower disclosed in the same document has a connecting portion whose top extends in the horizontal direction, and a pair of plate bodies whose inner surfaces face each other are configured by connecting the upper end portions through this connecting portion. Appropriate markings are provided on the outer surfaces (the surfaces facing the outside) of the pair of plate bodies.

[0003] Base members are attached to the lower end portions of the pair of plate bodies. By attaching such base members, the lower end portions of the pair of plate bodies are integrally connected by the base members. According to such a configuration, since the distance between the lower end portions of the pair of plate bodies is regulated by the base members, even when a relatively large downward load acts on the connecting portion, it is possible to prevent the lower end portions of the pair of plate bodies from deforming and opening. However, when a large load is applied to the connecting portion or an excessive load in the bending direction is applied to the pair of plate bodies, etc., there is a risk that the pair of plate bodies may deform, and there is room for improvement.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] FIGS. 1 to 7 show a display tower according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The display tower A1 of the present embodiment includes a display tower main body 1, a base member 2, and a reinforcing member 3. In the present embodiment, the display tower main body 1 is formed by bending a metal plate material (for example, an iron plate) having a predetermined shape, and is configured in a mountain shape as a whole. Specifically, the display tower main body 1 has a connecting portion 11 located at the top and extending in the X direction (corresponding to the first direction of the present disclosure) which is a horizontal direction, and a pair of plate bodies 12 whose upper end portions 121 are connected via the connecting portion 11. The pair of plate bodies 12 are inclined such that their inner surfaces 12c face each other and move away from each other downward, forming a mountain shape.

[0017] As clearly shown in FIG. 3, each plate body 12 has a long rectangular shape, and the length of the side 12a in the vertical direction is larger than the length of the side 12b in the X direction. Appropriate notations (not shown) using characters, figures, etc. are applied to the outer surface 12d of each plate body 12. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, each plate body 12 is gently curved so that the outside is convex in a cross section perpendicular to the X direction in which the connecting portion 11 extends. Here, the outside means the side opposite to the side where the other plate body 12 is located when viewed from one plate body 12 (the outer surface 12d side of the one plate body 12). As an example of the dimensions of each part of the plate body 12, the length of the side 12a in the vertical direction is about 67 cm, the length of the side 12b in the X direction is about 25 cm, and the thickness of the plate body 12 is about 1 mm. Also, the radius of curvature of the plate body 12 is about 405 cm, for example. Note that the dimensions of each part of the plate body 12 are not limited to the above dimensions.

[0018] A locking portion 13 is provided at the lower end 122 of each plate body 12. The locking portion 13 is the part that locks onto the locking portion 212 of the base member 2, which will be described later, and as shown in Figure 4, it is L-shaped, bending outward in a cross section perpendicular to the X direction. Also, as shown in Figure 8, the locking portion 13 has a certain width and is partially provided in the center of the side 12b in the X direction. In this embodiment, the locking portion 13 is connected in a continuous manner to the plate body 12 and is formed by bending a plate piece that protrudes from the part corresponding to the lower end 122 of the plate body 12.

[0019] The base member 2 is the foundation of the display tower A1 and, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, is attached to the lower end 122 of the pair of plate bodies 12. The base member 2 is a rubber plate that has a roughly rectangular shape in plan view and is integrally formed, for example, by mold molding.

[0020] The base member 2 has a pair of mounting portions 21 and a central portion 22 located between these mounting portions 21. The pair of mounting portions 21 are positioned at both ends in the Y direction, which is perpendicular to the X direction in a plan view, and are located at positions corresponding to the lower ends 122 of both plate bodies 12.

[0021] As shown in Figure 4, each mounting portion 21 has an opening 211, a locking portion 212, and a canopy portion 213. The opening 211 is formed for inserting the locking portion 13 from above. In this embodiment, the opening 211 is formed to penetrate through the mounting portion 21 in the thickness direction, and is sized to allow the locking portion 13 to be inserted from above in a plan view. The thickness of the mounting portion 21 is, for example, about 30 mm.

[0022] The locking portion 212 is the part that locks the locking portion 13 inserted through the opening 211, and has a concave shape corresponding to the shape of the locking portion 13.

[0023] The canopy portion 213 is sheet-like, extending outward from the inner edge of the opening 211, and is elastically bendable. In this embodiment, when the locking portion 13 is locked to the locked portion 212, there is a small gap between the locking portion 13 and the leading edge of the canopy portion 213.

[0024] The central section 22 is the part that integrally connects the pair of mounting sections 21. The thickness of the central section 22 is, for example, about 20 mm, which is smaller than the thickness of the mounting section 21 (about 30 mm).

[0025] As shown in Figure 8, in its natural state, the display tower body 1 with the above configuration has a pair of plates 12, each extending almost straight from the upper end 121 to the lower end 122, and the distance between the lower ends 122 (locking portion 13) of the plates 12 is greater than when the base member 2 is attached. By attaching the base member 2 to the lower ends 122 of the pair of plates 12 in a state narrower than the distance between these lower ends 122 in their natural state, the plates 12 curve outward due to their elastic restoring force. Furthermore, due to this elastic restoring of the plates 12, the L-shaped locking portion 13 is locked to the locking portion 212.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 5 to 7, the reinforcing member 3 is attached across the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plates 12. The display tower A1 of this embodiment is equipped with two reinforcing members 3, as shown in Figures 1, 6, 7, etc. As shown in Figure 7, the two reinforcing members 3 are attached to the ends of the pair of plates 12 in the X direction, offset from each other. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 3 has a main plate portion 31 and a plurality of mounting plate portions 32. The main plate portion 31 and the plurality of mounting plate portions 32 are each plate-shaped and are formed, for example, by appropriately bending a plate material of a predetermined shape.

[0027] The main plate portion 31 has a shape that extends in a plane direction intersecting the X direction. In this embodiment, the main plate portion 31 has a shape that extends in a plane direction perpendicular to the X direction. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the lateral periphery 310 of the main plate portion 31 has a shape that corresponds to the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plate bodies 12, and is mountain-shaped. In this embodiment, the outer side of the lateral periphery 310 is gently curved and convex. As shown in Figures 1, 2, 4 to 6, the main plate portion 31 is positioned in the vertical direction from near the upper end 121 of the plate body 12 to slightly above the lower end 122.

[0028] Multiple mounting plate portions 32 are connected to the main plate portion 31. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, each of the multiple mounting plate portions 32 extends outward from the lateral peripheral edge 310 of the main plate portion 31, and each mounting plate portion 32 is bent at approximately a right angle along the lateral peripheral edge 310. Figure 9 shows the state in which the multiple mounting plate portions 32 are bent relative to the main plate portion 31. Figure 10 shows the state before the multiple mounting plate portions 32 are bent, and the bent mounting plate portions 32 are indicated by dashed lines.

[0029] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 3 has six mounting plate portions 32. As shown in Figures 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7, three mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of one plate body 12, and the remaining three mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of the other plate body 12. The three mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of each plate body 12, spaced apart in the vertical direction. In addition, each mounting plate portion 32 is attached to the inner surface 12c of the plate body 12 in a state where it overlaps with the inner surface 12c of the plate body 12.

[0030] The reinforcing member 3 in this embodiment is made of a sheet material such as corrugated plastic, synthetic resin, or a thin metal sheet, and is preferably made of corrugated plastic. A reinforcing member 3 with such a configuration can be formed, for example, by bending a sheet material of a predetermined shape at appropriate locations (six locations corresponding to the mounting plate portion 32), as shown in Figure 10. Each mounting plate portion 32 of the reinforcing member 3 is then attached to the inner surface 12c of the plate body 12 by overlapping it and fixing it with adhesive or an adhesive sheet, for example.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1, 6, and 7, in this embodiment, each mounting plate portion 32 of the reinforcing member 3 is attached to the inner surface 12c of the plate body 12 in a position where it is bent outward in the X direction relative to the main plate portion 31. The leading edge of the mounting plate portion 32 that is furthest from the main plate portion 31 is located in a position that approximately coincides with the vertical side 12a when viewed in the Y direction.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4-6, in this embodiment, when the reinforcing member 3 is attached to the pair of plates 12, the base member 2 and the lower end 311 of the main plate portion 31 are separated in the vertical direction. Also, when the reinforcing member 3 is attached to the pair of plates 12, the lateral peripheral edge 310 of the main plate portion 31 either abuts against the inner surface 12c of the plate 12, or there is a small gap between it and the inner surface 12c.

[0033] The display tower A1 with the above configuration is used, for example, by being placed on a road such as a sidewalk.

[0034] Next, the operation of the display tower A1 in this embodiment will be described.

[0035] In the display tower A1 of this embodiment, a pair of plate bodies 12 (display tower body 1) that form a mountain shape by being connected via a connecting portion 11 located at the upper end are configured such that the lower ends 122 of these plate bodies 12 are integrally connected by a base member 2. With this configuration, the distance between the lower ends 122 of the pair of plate bodies 12 is restricted by the base member 2, so even if a relatively large downward load is applied to the connecting portion 11, it is possible to prevent the lower ends 122 from deforming and separating from each other.

[0036] The display tower A1 is equipped with a reinforcing member 3. The reinforcing member 3 is attached across the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plate bodies 12. With this configuration, the reinforcing member 3 forms an integrated structure with the pair of plate bodies 12, and the strength of the pair of plate bodies 12 against external loads is increased. Therefore, even if a large downward load is applied to the connecting part 11, deformation of each plate body 12 can be prevented.

[0037] The reinforcing member 3 has a main plate portion 31 and a plurality of mounting plate portions 32 connected to the main plate portion 31. The main plate portion 31 has a shape that extends in a plane direction intersecting the X direction (first direction). The mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of each plate body 12 in an overlapping manner. A reinforcing member 3 with such a configuration can be formed by appropriately bending a plate material of a predetermined shape at the appropriate place. Therefore, the reinforcing member 3 can be easily formed in the display tower A1.

[0038] Each of the pair of plates 12 is a long rectangle in which the length of the vertical side 12a is greater than the length of the X-direction (first direction) side 12b. Two or more mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plates 12, spaced apart in the vertical direction. With this configuration, the reinforcing members 3 can be properly attached to the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plates 12. As a result, the strength of the pair of plates 12 (display tower body 1) can be more appropriately increased against external loads.

[0039] The display tower A1 is equipped with two reinforcing members 3, which are positioned off-center to both ends of the pair of plate bodies 12 in the X direction (first direction). With this configuration, the strength of the pair of plate bodies 12 (display tower body 1) can be more appropriately increased against external loads.

[0040] The lower end 311 of the main plate portion 31 of the base member 2 and the reinforcing member 3 are separated in the vertical direction. With this configuration, the pair of plates 12 can swing in the Y direction (the direction perpendicular to the X direction in a plan view), improving flexibility against loads in the Y direction.

[0041] In display tower A1, the reinforcing member 3 is made of a sheet of corrugated plastic. Corrugated plastic is a lightweight and inexpensive material. Therefore, the construction of the reinforcing member 3 as a sheet of corrugated plastic makes it easy to handle and contributes to reducing manufacturing costs.

[0042] Figures 11 to 17 show a display tower according to the second embodiment of this disclosure. In these figures, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the above embodiment, and redundant explanations are omitted. In this embodiment, the display tower A2 differs from the display tower A1 of the above embodiment in the configuration of the display tower body 1, and consequently, the reinforcing member 3 has also been modified.

[0043] In the display tower A2, the display tower body 1 comprises a connecting portion 11, a pair of plate bodies 12, and a locking portion 13, and further comprises a plurality of bent portions 14. Each of the plurality of bent portions 14 is connected to a plate body 12. Each of the plurality of bent portions 14 is connected to the vertical edges 12a located at both ends in the X direction of each plate body 12. The bent portions 14 are bent inward from the vertical edges 12a. The bent portions 14 are provided from near the lower end of the vertical edge 12a to slightly above the vertical center. Each of the plurality of bent portions 14 is connected in a series to the plate body 12 and is formed by bending a plate piece that protrudes from the portion corresponding to the vertical edge 12a of the plate body 12.

[0044] As shown in Figures 11, 12, 15-17, etc., the reinforcing member 3 is attached across the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plates 12. The display tower A2 of this embodiment is equipped with two reinforcing members 3, as shown in Figures 11, 16, 17, etc. In the display tower A2, as shown in Figure 17, the two reinforcing members 3 are attached to the pair of plates 12 at positions biased toward both ends in the X direction. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 3 has a main plate portion 31 and a plurality of mounting plate portions 32. The main plate portion 31 and the plurality of mounting plate portions 32 are each plate-shaped and are formed, for example, by appropriately bending a plate material of a predetermined shape.

[0045] The main plate portion 31 has a shape that extends in a plane direction intersecting the X direction. In this embodiment, the main plate portion 31 has a shape that extends in a plane direction perpendicular to the X direction. The lateral periphery 310 of the main plate portion 31 has a shape that corresponds to the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plate bodies 12. As shown in Figures 11, 12, 14 to 16, the main plate portion 31 is located in the vertical direction from near the upper end 121 of the plate body 12 to slightly above the vertical center. The main plate portion 31 is located above the bent portion 14 in the vertical direction.

[0046] Multiple mounting plate portions 32 are connected to the main plate portion 31. Each of the multiple mounting plate portions 32 extends outward from the lateral peripheral edge 310 of the main plate portion 31, and each mounting plate portion 32 is shaped to be bent at approximately a right angle along the lateral peripheral edge 310. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 3 has four mounting plate portions 32. As shown in Figures 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, etc., two mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of one plate body 12, and the remaining two mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of the other plate body 12. Two mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of each plate body 12, spaced apart in the vertical direction. In addition, each mounting plate portion 32 is attached to the inner surface 12c of the plate body 12 in a state where it overlaps the inner surface 12c of the plate body 12.

[0047] The reinforcing member 3 in this embodiment is made of a sheet material such as corrugated plastic, synthetic resin, or a thin metal sheet, and is preferably made of corrugated plastic. A reinforcing member 3 with such a configuration can be formed by bending a sheet material of a predetermined shape at appropriate locations (four locations corresponding to the mounting plate portion 32). Each mounting plate portion 32 of the reinforcing member 3 is then attached to the inner surface 12c of the plate body 12 by overlapping it and fixing it with adhesive or an adhesive sheet, for example.

[0048] As shown in Figures 11, 16, and 17, in this embodiment, each mounting plate portion 32 of the reinforcing member 3 is attached to the inner surface 12c of the plate body 12 in a position where it is bent inward in the X direction relative to the main plate portion 31. The surface of the main plate portion 31 facing outward in the X direction is located in a position that approximately coincides with the vertical edge 12a when viewed in the Y direction.

[0049] As shown in Figures 11, 12, and 14-16, in this embodiment, when the reinforcing member 3 is attached to the pair of plates 12, the base member 2 and the lower end 311 of the main plate portion 31 are separated in the vertical direction. Also, when the reinforcing member 3 is attached to the pair of plates 12, the lateral peripheral edge 310 of the main plate portion 31 either abuts against the inner surface 12c of the plate 12, or there is a small gap between it and the inner surface 12c.

[0050] The display tower A2 with the above configuration is used, for example, by being placed on a road such as a sidewalk.

[0051] Next, the operation of the display tower A2 in this embodiment will be described.

[0052] In the display tower A2 of this embodiment, a pair of plate bodies 12 (display tower body 1) that form a mountain shape by being connected via a connecting portion 11 located at the upper end are configured such that the lower ends 122 of these plate bodies 12 are integrally connected by a base member 2. With this configuration, the distance between the lower ends 122 of the pair of plate bodies 12 is restricted by the base member 2, so even if a relatively large downward load is applied to the connecting portion 11, it is possible to prevent the lower ends 122 from deforming and separating from each other. Furthermore, in the display tower A2, the display tower body 1 is further provided with a plurality of bent portions 14. Each of the plurality of bent portions 14 is connected to the vertical edges 12a located at both ends in the X direction of each plate body 12. The bent portions 14 are bent inward from the vertical edges 12a of the plate body 12. With this configuration, the strength of the pair of plate bodies 12 against external loads is further increased.

[0053] The display tower A2 is equipped with a reinforcing member 3. The reinforcing member 3 is attached across the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plate bodies 12. With this configuration, the reinforcing member 3 forms an integrated structure with the pair of plate bodies 12, and the strength of the pair of plate bodies 12 against external loads is increased. Therefore, even if a large downward load is applied to the connecting part 11, deformation of each plate body 12 can be prevented.

[0054] The reinforcing member 3 has a main plate portion 31 and a plurality of mounting plate portions 32 connected to the main plate portion 31. The main plate portion 31 has a shape that extends in a plane direction intersecting the X direction (first direction). The mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of each plate body 12 in an overlapping manner. A reinforcing member 3 with such a configuration can be formed by appropriately bending a plate material of a predetermined shape at the appropriate place. Therefore, the reinforcing member 3 can be easily formed in the display tower A2.

[0055] Each of the pair of plates 12 is a long rectangle in which the length of the vertical side 12a is greater than the length of the X-direction (first direction) side 12b. Two or more mounting plate portions 32 are attached to the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plates 12, spaced apart in the vertical direction. With this configuration, the reinforcing members 3 can be properly attached to the inner surface 12c of each of the pair of plates 12. As a result, the strength of the pair of plates 12 (display tower body 1) can be more appropriately increased against external loads.

[0056] The display tower A2 is equipped with two reinforcing members 3, which are positioned off-center to both ends of the pair of plate bodies 12 in the X direction (first direction). With this configuration, the strength of the pair of plate bodies 12 (display tower body 1) can be more appropriately increased against external loads.

[0057] The lower end 311 of the main plate portion 31 of the base member 2 and the reinforcing member 3 are separated in the vertical direction. With this configuration, the pair of plates 12 can swing in the Y direction (the direction perpendicular to the X direction in a plan view), improving flexibility against loads in the Y direction.

[0058] In display tower A2, the reinforcing member 3 is made of a sheet of corrugated plastic. Corrugated plastic is a lightweight and inexpensive material. Therefore, the construction of the reinforcing member 3 as a sheet of corrugated plastic makes it easy to handle and contributes to reducing manufacturing costs.

[0059] Although specific embodiments of this disclosure have been described above, this disclosure is not limited thereto, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. The specific shapes and materials of each part of the display tower relating to this disclosure are also not limited to the above embodiments. [Explanation of Symbols]
