L-shaped block with weed prevention function

Abstract

To provide a weed-proof L-shaped block that reduces the situation where unwanted plants tend to thrive in the gap formed between the L-shaped block and the asphalt. 【Solution means】By adopting a shape 1 in which a part of the portion of the L-shaped block in contact with the asphalt is cut out, and laying the asphalt on this cut-out portion, the chance for the seeds of unwanted plants to touch the soil can be reduced, and thus it is effective in preventing the growth of unwanted plants. Even when the weed-proof L-shaped block of the present invention is used, a gap is formed between it and the asphalt, and soil may accumulate there, leading to the growth of unwanted plants. However, due to the structure, it is difficult for the roots of unwanted plants to extend to a large amount of soil under the sidewalk and the roadway, so the growth momentum can be greatly reduced.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of L-shaped blocks, and more specifically, to their shape.

Background Art

[0002] An L-shaped block used at the boundary between a roadway and a sidewalk, when installed in its current shape, will develop a gap over time between the asphalt on the sidewalk side and the roadway side. Seeds of unwanted plants easily enter this gap, and as a result, unwanted plants thrive in this gap.

[0003] Moreover, the overgrown unwanted plants make it difficult for people in vehicles to see pedestrians on the sidewalk and vice versa, which has led to traffic accidents and accidents where people fall from the sidewalk to the roadway.

[0004] In addition, in order to restore the reduced visibility, the road management authorities have the responsibility of weeding, which not only requires a large amount of money but also in some cases, due to budget shortages, weeding is not carried out and the situation is left unattended.

[0005] Also, since the road management authorities do not get a new opportunity to update the L-shaped blocks they have installed once for a very long time, a huge budget has been continuously generated over the years to keep weeding the unwanted plants during this period.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] In a conventional L-shaped block, soil easily enters the gap between the sidewalk and the roadway, and the gap is connected to the soil laid under the sidewalk and the roadway. Therefore, when seeds of unwanted plants germinate in this gap, they will sprout. Also, since there is abundant soil under the sidewalk and the roadway, it is easy for the roots to spread out, and as a result, perennial unwanted plants especially tend to thrive.

[0007] In addition, traffic accidents and pedestrian falls from the sidewalk to the roadway are occurring due to reduced visibility caused by the overgrowth of unwanted plants.

[0008] In addition, road management authorities incur a great deal of expense in weeding the overgrown unwanted plants. ru.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0009] Provide a "weed-cutting notch" in the conventional L-shaped block. When laying asphalt, by placing asphalt on this cut-out part during laying, the gap formed between the L-shaped block and the asphalt will not directly touch the soil buried under the sidewalk and roadway, so that the state where unwanted plants are difficult to grow can be maintained for a long time.

[0010] To enhance the effect of preventing the mixing of seeds of unwanted plants and to reduce the expansion of the gap between the weed-proof L-shaped block due to the shrinkage of asphalt, a "weed-proof and misalignment-preventing notch" in the shape of an elongated groove is provided.

Effect of the Invention

[0011] Since the soil cannot be seen directly between the weed-proof L-shaped block and the sidewalk, and between the weed-proof L-shaped block and the roadway, the chance of seeds of unwanted plants directly landing on the soil is greatly reduced, resulting in a situation where germination and overgrowth are difficult.

Industrial Applicability

[0013] Since it only requires preparing a mold for molding the weed-proof L-shaped block, production is easy.

[0014] Also, because there are cutout parts, the amount of concrete required for production can be reduced compared to conventional L-shaped blocks. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the weed-proof L-shaped block of the present invention is lower than that of conventional products.

[0015] In addition, since the amount of concrete used is reduced, the weight of the L-shaped block is also reduced, making transportation easier and expecting cost reduction for a large amount of transportation.
