Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for quickly and easily horizontally or vertically wrapping and adhering safety signs made of reflective materials, phosphorescent materials, fluorescent materials, or advertisements (signs) such as polyvinyl chloride sheets (stickers) and films around cylinders, entasis-shaped cylinders installed outdoors, or the middle portion of fences. In addition, by using a spring-processed metal product such as a stainless steel plate, free sliding is enabled.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, wrapping and adhering reflective tapes and the like onto cylinders, entasis-shaped cylinders, fences and the like takes time, and there has been no simple and accurate method for wrapping and adhering the same horizontally or vertically.

[0003] Based on the idea that only alignment of the two ends during wrapping is required, no simple and accurate method for wrapping and adhering the same horizontally or vertically has been conceived.

[0004] There is also no method for horizontally or vertically wrapping by using a spring-shaped product.

[0005] Once a polyvinyl chloride sheet (sticker), film, tape or the like is adhered, it needs to be peeled off when changing its position. This increases the possibility that the same product cannot be reused due to contamination such as residual marks of the polyvinyl chloride sheet (sticker), film, or tape. In addition, polyvinyl chloride shee t (sticker), film, or tape peeling and other treatments also take time, so it can hardly be called efficient.

[0006] When wrapping a fence with an adhesive-coated polyvinyl chloride sheet (sticker), film, or tape, the material needs to be passed between the post and the mesh, which currently requires considerable effort.

Summary of the Invention

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] Applying reflective, phosphorescent, or fluorescent materials, or PVC sheets (stickers) or films, horizontally or vertically to cylindrical or entasis-shaped cylinders or fences requires considerable effort.

[0008] Reflective materials, phosphorescent materials, fluorescent materials, or PVC sheets (stickers) and films have adhesives attached, so repositioning them will require time and effort.

[0009] As the diameter of cylinders and other objects increases, the likelihood of the final fitting ends becoming misaligned increases, making it extremely difficult to wrap and attach them precisely horizontally and vertically.

[0010] When the width of the material to which PVC sheets (stickers), films, or tapes are applied increases, the likelihood of wrinkles and other issues arising also increases, and it is easy to imagine that wrapping and applying them horizontally and vertically will take more time.

[0011] When attaching it to a fence, you need to be careful about the adhesive surface and other factors, as it has to be passed through the narrow gap between the post and the mesh.

[0012] When attaching them to a fence, considering the number of posts to which they are attached (usually around 3), it is perfectly reasonable that the more posts there are, the more time and effort it will take.

[0013] The process becomes even more difficult when the object to be attached is a cylinder with an entasis shape.

[0014] Unlike a normal cylinder, an entasis-shaped cylinder has a different circumference at the top and bottom. Therefore, when wrapping and attaching it horizontally and vertically, it is necessary to measure and check the size while wrapping to avoid misalignment. Furthermore, in all of the above cases, once it is attached, any correction or change in position requires peeling it off and reattaching or adding more material.

[0015] Depending on the material and circumstances, adhesive or tape residue may remain after removal, potentially interfering with subsequent work.

[0016] The challenge lies in finding a simple and quick way to attach signs horizontally and vertically to cylindrical objects, entasis-shaped cylindrical objects, and fences. [Means for solving the problem]

[0017] A marker material to be attached to a columnar object, The present invention provides a marker material comprising a cylindrical metal body having one end and the other end being free ends in the circumferential direction, and a marker attached to the front surface of the cylindrical body.

[0018] The present invention provides a marking material according to claim 1, characterized in that the straight upper or lower end of the marking material is attached parallel to the straight upper or lower end of the cylindrical body.

[0019] The present invention provides a sign material according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the sign is a safety sign, an advertising sign, or a traffic sign.

[0020] The present invention provides a marker material according to claim 3, characterized in that its diameter is at least 2 / 3 of the diameter of the columnar object to which it is attached.

[0021] The marking material according to claim 4 is provided, characterized in that the cylindrical body has a thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm.

[0022] A method for attaching a marker material to a columnar object, The present invention provides a method for attaching the marker material to a columnar mounting object by widening the distance between one end and the other end of the cylindrical body of the marker material according to claim 1 or claim 2, and by using the restoring force of the elasticity of the metal to clamp the columnar mounting object in the middle part of the cylindrical body.

[0023] The method according to claim 3, wherein the columnar object to be attached is a columnar object that is a part of a structure, both ends of which are connected to other members.

Effects of the Invention

[0024] According to the present invention, by attaching a reflective material, fluorescent material, phosphorescent material or the like, or a sign (safety sign, advertising sign) made of a polyvinyl chloride sheet (seal) or film to a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate, and using a cover processed into a spring-like cylindrical body, winding can be performed horizontally and vertically simply in a short time.

[0025] Since the present invention is formed as a cover, attachment, detachment and sliding are enabled, and position change and winding around a fence can also be easily performed.

[0026] Assuming use in outdoors, the present invention is also characterized in that durability against rust and the like is improved by using a stainless steel product.

[0027] By using a metal cover such as a stainless steel plate, it is easy to horizontally and vertically adhere and wind a sign around a circular column, an entasis circular column, a middle portion of a fence or the like, which also shortens time and saves labor for work.

[0028] By attaching a metal cover such as a stainless steel plate, sliding can be performed even if the position or the like is wrong, so the position can be easily changed. In addition, the cover is detachable, and can be removed and reused later when it is not needed.

[0030] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows a parallel rectangular stainless steel plate before processing, which is necessary for carrying out the present invention. For example, the thickness is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, and the width and height will vary depending on the diameter size of the cylinder, etc.

[0031] Figure 2 of the present invention shows a cylindrical body 1 made from a stainless steel plate processed into a spring shape, Figure 3 shows a cylindrical body 1 with the distance 13 between one end 11 and the other end 12 widened at the upper end 9 and lower end 10, and Figure 4 shows a cylindrical body 1 with the circumferential direction 14 and free end 15. [Examples]

[0032] In carrying out the present invention, Figure 5 shows the sign 3 attached to the cylindrical body 1, and Figures 6, 7, and 8 show the sign material 8 with the sign 3 attached. Figures 10 and 11 show the attempt to attach the sign material 8 to the middle section 4 of the object to be attached 2. Figures 12 and 13 show the sign material 8 attached horizontally and vertically to the upper end 16, lower end 17 and the middle section 4 of the object to be attached 2. Figure 14 shows the result of attaching the sign material 8 to the middle section 4 of the single-pipe barricade 7 and testing its sliding properties, which showed that it slid smoothly and the fit was also improved.

[0033] Figures 15 and 16 show an example of attaching a marker material 8 to the central section 4 through a narrow gap in the fence 5 using the method of the present invention. Attachment and detachment are easy, resulting in reduced time and effort.

[0034] As shown in Figure 17, the method of the present invention allows for easy attachment of marker materials 8 to structures 6 made of scaffolding, making it easier to confirm the positions of pillars and other elements, thus improving safety. Furthermore, when dismantling scaffolding, the markers can be easily removed and reused.

[0035] Figures 18, 19, and 20 show images of various fences with marker material 8 attached to the middle section using the method of the present invention.

[0036] Figures 21 and 22 show the road signs with the sign material 8 attached to the central part using the method of the present invention, while Figure 23 shows the sign material 8 attached to a single-pipe barricade. [Examples]

[0037] By attaching the marker material 8 horizontally and vertically to the cylindrical column 2, the cylindrical column (entasis) 2, and the central part 4 of the fence 5 using the method of the present invention, the appearance is improved.

[0038] Some roads have reflective tape wrapped around fences and other structures, presumably to help drivers confirm the fence's position. While it's unclear if the placement of the reflective tape is calculated, the installation of the marker material 8 of this invention resulted in the marker material 8 remaining consistently horizontal and vertical, making it easier to confirm the fence's position. This improved visibility is likely to enhance safety for drivers.

[0039] Because the sign material 8 can be replaced with various other materials, using materials appropriate for the site improved safety.

[0040] It can be easily attached to structures such as fences (5), single-pipe barricades (7), road reflectors, streetlights, road signs, and scaffolding (6) by passing it through gaps. The circular, spring-like shape allows for natural folding, and the force that tries to return it to its original shape after being extended makes it possible to do things that were previously difficult.

[0041] Because it can be easily attached to objects such as pillars 2 and fences 5, it can be used to indicate the direction of evacuation and guide people to evacuation sites in the event of emergencies (earthquakes, disasters), and the sign material 8, which is made by attaching phosphorescent material, can also be used to indicate the direction of evacuation in the event of a power outage at night.

[0042] Traditionally, in parks and other public spaces, advertisements and warning signs were attached to billboards, but by utilizing the present invention, they can now be easily attached to fences 5. As described above, by attaching sign materials 8, which combine advertisements, reflective materials, phosphorescent materials, etc., to an object, advertising and warnings can be easily displayed.

[0043] The diameter of the spring-shaped marker material was adjusted because if the spring force was too strong, it might not slide properly. Therefore, a marker material with a diameter of 41 / 50 relative to the diameter of the columnar mounting object was found to be suitable for both attachment and detachment.

[0044] By reducing the thickness of the marker material attached to the object from 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, the spring-like strength of the circularly processed material becomes more precise in its fit and also suitable for sliding. [Explanation of Symbols]
