本発明は、自動車のガソリン給油所において、
給油のための停車位置を示す表示器に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field to which the Invention Pertains] The present invention relates to a gasoline filling station for automobiles,
This invention relates to an indicator that indicates a stop position for refueling.
かかる給油所では、安全かつ迅速に給油できる
よう給油機近くに正規の停車位置を示す給油位置
表示を地表面に施している所が多い。
In order to ensure safe and quick refueling, many of these gas stations have refueling location markings on the ground near the refueling machines that indicate the official parking locations.
ところで、この給油位置の表示は、従来は塗料
で文字又か図形を地上に直接描いていたため、長
期間経過するとこれがはがれ耐久性に乏しく、
時々塗り直す必要があり面倒なものであつた。ま
た、コンクリートの地表にただ描いただけの静的
なものなのでこの中に螢光性の物質などを混合し
ても、運転者の注意を充分に喚起できないおそれ
があつた。 By the way, in the past, this refueling position display was done by drawing letters or figures directly on the ground using paint, but this peeled off over a long period of time and was not durable.
It was a pain to have to repaint it from time to time. Furthermore, since it is a static image that is simply drawn on the concrete surface, even if a fluorescent substance is mixed into it, there is a risk that it will not be able to sufficiently arouse the driver's attention.
本発明の目的は、前記従来例の不都合を解消
し、場所を取らず、また耐久性に富み、しかも非
常に目立つので運転者の注意を充分に喚起できる
給油位置表示器を提供することにある。
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a refueling position indicator which eliminates the disadvantages of the conventional example and which does not take up much space, is highly durable, and is very conspicuous to sufficiently draw the driver's attention. .
しかしてこの目的は、本発明によれば、上面に
透明蓋を設けたケースを自動車の停止位置に埋設

However, according to the present invention, the lever is achieved by embedding a case with a transparent lid on the top surface at the stop position of the automobile, and filling the case with a liquid that is easily visible from the outside and contains a reflective material. achieved.
以下、図面について本発明の実施例を詳細に説
明する。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

も上面を透明としたケース５内に空間１５を存し
て液体６を封入したもので、透明な上面が地表と
同一面になるよう地中に埋設したものである。 Fig. 1 is an overall perspective view with a part cut away of a refueling station equipped with a refueling position indicator of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. A refueling position indicator 3 is provided on the concrete ground surface near such a refueling machine 1 to indicate the refueling position.
For example, the case 5 is made transparent at least by covering the top surface with a transparent lid 4, and a liquid 6 is sealed in the space 15. It was buried.
前記液体６は、外部から一目で観取可能なよう
にその存在をより目立たせるため、内部に金、銀
箔等の反射部材を入れ、さらに着色したり、ま

しケース５内で波立たせるようにしてもよく、さ
らにこれらの手段を適宜組合せてもよい。 In order to make the liquid 6 more conspicuous so that it can be seen from the outside at a glance, the liquid 6 may be colored with a reflective material such as gold or silver foil inside, or it may be shaped as shown in FIG. As a wave mechanism, for example, a circulation pipe 8 with a pump 7 provided therebetween may be connected to the case 5 to cause waves within the case 5, or these means may be combined as appropriate.
また、給油所の入口に入車センサー９を、出口
に出車センサー１０を設け、前記給油位置表示器
３の直下には無接触で自動車のエンジントラブル
の有無を検出するエンジン診断機のセンサー１１
を設け、該エンジン診断機の診断結果の表示器１
４を例えば、アイランド２上や給油所の壁等に設
ける。 Further, an entry sensor 9 is provided at the entrance of the gas station, and an exit sensor 10 is provided at the exit, and a sensor 11 of an engine diagnostic device that detects the presence or absence of engine trouble in a car without contact is provided directly below the refueling position indicator 3.
A display 1 for the diagnosis results of the engine diagnostic machine is provided.
4 is installed, for example, on the island 2 or on the wall of a gas station.
一方、給油機１の上方部分を覆うキヤノピイ１
２の下面には照明装置１３が取付けられている
が、該照明装置１３は給油位置表示器３の直上で
内部の液体６を照射するように位置付ける。 On the other hand, the canopy 1 that covers the upper part of the refueling machine 1
A lighting device 13 is attached to the lower surface of the tank 2, and the lighting device 13 is positioned directly above the refueling position indicator 3 so as to illuminate the liquid 6 inside.
そして、この照明装置１３は昼間でも作動する
ようにし、しかも前記入車センサー９、及び出車
センサー１０と連動して点灯若しくは消灯するよ
うにする。 The lighting device 13 is made to operate even in the daytime, and is turned on or off in conjunction with the vehicle entry sensor 9 and vehicle exit sensor 10.
次に使用法及び動作を説明すると、自動車が給

働きで照明装置１３が点灯して給油位置表示器３
を上方から照射する。 Next, to explain the usage and operation, when a car approaches the entrance of a gas station to refuel, the vehicle entry sensor 9 detects the vehicle's entry, and the sensor 9 lights up the lighting device 13 to locate the gas station. Display 3
irradiates from above.

ケース５内の液体６の表面が波立ち、照明装置１
３の光線がこの液体６の波立つた表面又は内部の
反射部材で乱反射されて、表面がキラキラと輝
く。 When the car further enters the gas station, the surface of the liquid 6 in the case 5 of the display 3 becomes rippled due to vibrations from the car or the action of the pump 7, causing the illumination device 1 to ripple.
The light rays 3 are diffusely reflected by the rippled surface of the liquid 6 or by the reflective member inside, causing the surface to sparkle.
こうして給油のための停車位置が透明蓋４を通
して顕示されるので表示器３の位置がよく目立
ち、運転者は該表示器３に案内されて表示器３上
方の正しい給油位置に停車する。 In this way, the stop position for refueling is displayed through the transparent lid 4, so the position of the display 3 is clearly visible, and the driver is guided by the display 3 and stops at the correct refueling position above the display 3.
次に、給油を行い、また必要に応じて診断機で

器１４に表示される。 Next, the vehicle is refueled and, if necessary, a diagnostic machine is used to diagnose whether there is any engine trouble in the vehicle. At this time, the sensor 11 of the engine diagnostic machine is
The engine diagnosis results are displayed on the display 14, so there is no need to move the vehicle to another location.
給油が終了し、自動車が給油所出口にさしかか
ると、ここで出車センサー１０が自動車を検知
し、該センサー１０の働きで照明装置１３が消灯
する。 When refueling is finished and the car approaches the exit of the gas station, the exit sensor 10 detects the car, and the sensor 10 turns off the lighting device 13.
なお、表示器３の透明蓋４の表面が自動車のタ

As described above, the refueling position indicator of the present invention has a case filled with liquid buried in the refueling position,
Since the refueling position is displayed using diffusely reflected light generated on the surface of the liquid, the display area is highly durable and does not get dirty.Also, the dynamic means of brightness and rippling of the liquid make it highly visible, making it easy for drivers to see. It is enough to call attention to it.
