[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a car stop device for a parking lot, which is installed in a parking space of each vehicle (vehicle) in the parking lot and guides the stop position of the vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, many car stoppers in ordinary parking lots have a structure in which a pair of left and right concrete blocks are installed in the rear area of the parking space of each vehicle and fixed to the road surface by gluing or the like. This structure has a simple structure in which blocks are placed at the positions where the tires come into contact with each other, and the position control and guidance in the approach direction of the vehicle are intended to be performed by this.

Further, for the same purpose, instead of a pair of concrete blocks, there is also seen a structure in which a car stop frame body is provided across the entire width of the parking space in parallel with the rear end portion. In particular, where the parking lot is constructed with a metal frame, the car stop frame is often provided together with the structure.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The structure with the concrete block installed has the advantages that the block itself has a simple shape and can be installed easily, and the cost required for installation is low. However, in the block, as described above, it plays a role of restricting the entry position of the vehicle at the position where the tire hits the block as to the approach direction. However, it does not regulate or guide the position, but it is left to the driver's judgment and driving skill to stop at the central position.

For this reason, the parking space is often deviated to the left and right boundary lines, which may interfere with the opening and closing of the doors of the adjacent parked vehicles, or depending on the positions of the parked vehicles on both sides, it may be extremely parked. There is a problem that it becomes difficult to enter the space, and in some cases, especially in the case of a narrow parking space, it becomes impossible to enter. At present, individual parking spaces are becoming narrower due to lack of parking lots, etc., and it has become more difficult for those who are unskilled in driving to park in such narrow spaces. Therefore, there is a high risk of a collision with an adjacent parked vehicle, and if the vehicle enters with a deviation, it is inevitable that the tire will pass between the blocks and collide with the rear parked vehicle.

[0006] In addition, the concrete block itself or the adhesive glue may be deteriorated to cause the block to be destroyed or misaligned at an early stage to make it useless as a car stop. Further, the concrete material is vulnerable to repeated impacts from the vehicle, The problem of accelerating the destruction of the country was unavoidable.

On the other hand, in the structure in which a car stop is constituted by a metal frame or the like and is distributed over the entire width of the parking space, there is no risk of collision with a rear parking vehicle unless an approaching vehicle gets over this, but concrete It is disadvantageous in terms of installation cost, etc. compared to blocks, and in this case as well, there is no horizontal position regulation, and therefore the same problems as described above still remain.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the conventional vehicle stop device, and the purpose thereof is to improve the performance even if the operator is unskilled in driving or the parking space is not enough. An object of the present invention is to provide a car parking stop device for a parking lot that can guide a vehicle to the center of the space more easily, reduce the risk of contact with an adjacent vehicle, and have a simple structure and high durability. ..

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a pair of vehicle stop members symmetrically spaced in the rear area of the parking space of each vehicle in the parking lot, and the vehicle stop members form an obtuse angle with each other. The first and second detent arms are formed integrally with each other and have substantially the same length, and the first arm of each detent member is disposed substantially parallel to the rear end of the parking space and the second arm is formed. Is proposed so as to extend toward the side edge of the parking space, and the pair of car stop members are formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section, and propose a car stop device for a parking lot. is there.

Further, the present invention also proposes a configuration in which each car stop member is provided with a reflecting member for reflecting the light of the vehicle.

[0011]

[Action]

 In the car stop device of the present invention described above, when a vehicle enters the parking space in a state in which the car is obliquely offset, it extends along the side edge of the parking space of one of the left and right car stop members installed. When the tire comes into contact with the second arm that has come out, the driver is informed of the wrong entry, which causes the vehicle to switch the entry direction and is substantially parallel to the rear end of the parking space of the car stop member. It is possible to guide the tire so that the first arm may hit the first arm, thereby facilitating the approach to the central position. Further, by this, even an unskilled person can safely enter the vehicle, and the vehicle can be parked at the center position quickly and accurately with a few switching operations.

Further, by providing each of the car stop members with a reflecting member that reflects the light of the car, it becomes easy to check the parking position particularly in the case of night parking, and the vehicle can be parked more safely and securely. I can guide you.

【Example】

 An embodiment of a car stop device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a car stop device 10 according to the present invention is installed in a parking space P of an automobile (vehicle) in a parking lot. The lower part of the parking space P is shown in FIG. 1 as the front side where the vehicle A enters, and the upper part is shown as the rear side, and each adjacent boundary region K is separated by a white line.

The car stop device 10 is composed of a pair of car stop members 12 and 14 which are symmetrically arranged in the rear area R of the parking space. Each of the car stop members 12 and 14 is integrally formed with first and second car stop arms 12a and 12b; 14a and 14b which are obtuse and have substantially the same length. The first car stop arms 12a and 14a of each car stop member are arranged in parallel with the rear end E of the parking space P with a left and right space therebetween, and the second car stop arms 12b and 14b are located on the left and right boundaries of the parking space P. It is arranged in an inclined state in a manner of diverging from the rear toward the front toward the side edge of the region K. The first and second wheel stop arms 12a, 14a; 12b, 14b of the respective wheel stop members 12, 14 are integrally connected by curved intermediate portions 12c, 14c, respectively. The angle of the car stop arm is set to 110 degrees obtuse, the arm length is set to 63 cm from the middle part 12c, 14c to the end of each arm, the width is 15 cm, and the height is 11.5 cm. The length W between the base end portions of both arms 12a and 14a is set to 180 cm.

The length W is dimensioned to exactly cover the distance between tires of a general private vehicle as a parked vehicle. As shown in FIG. 1, the left and right first and second wheel stop arms 12a and 14a are connected to the rear tire T of the vehicle A when the vehicle A enters the center position of the parking space P along the arrow B. Engages and stops the vehicle A, which functions as a vehicle stop at the regular position.

On the other hand, the second car stop arms 12b and 14b engage with the rear tire T of the vehicle A when the vehicle A enters in a biased state with respect to the parking space P, as described later. This serves as a guide for prompting the switching of the position of the vehicle A.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the forward extending ends of the second car stop arms 12b, 14b of the car stop members 12, 14 are the second car stop of the car stop member similarly arranged in the adjacent parking space. It is placed in contact with the arms on the boundary region K, and the contact portion has a shape in which each arm is partially cut. However, such contact is not necessarily a requirement for placement. However, such contact is desirable because it has the effect of increasing the overall installation rigidity. Further, the two vehicle stopper members 12 and 14 adjacent to each other have a symmetrical shape, and it is possible to integrate the two members 12 and 14 at the contact portion. It is also possible to sequentially install them in the space P, and this configuration is also included in the present invention.

The cross-sections of the car stop members 12, 14 are substantially U-shaped as shown in FIG. 3 for one of the car stop members 14, and the whole is integrally molded by aluminum casting. On the road surface of the parking space P, the car stop members 12 and 14 are fixedly attached to the road surface by bolts 18 inserted through flanges 16 formed integrally with the car stop members 12 and 14. As shown in FIG. 1, the bolts 18 are provided at six places for each car stop member. The cross-sectional shape of the vehicle stop member is the shape shown in Fig. 3 over the entire length, but the contact portion with the adjacent vehicle stop member is slightly narrower as shown in Fig. 4 and there is no flange 16 on the contact side. It has a shape. In any case, the car stop member has a substantially U-shape and is easily molded. It is preferable that the car stopper members 12 and 14 are molded by casting as in this embodiment in terms of cost and mass productivity, but they can be manufactured by metal pressing. Fine ceramics can also be used as the material.

Reference numeral 20 is a reflecting member provided on each of the car stop members 12 and 14, and is adapted to reflect when a light from the vehicle hits the reflecting member. In particular, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, this reflecting member 20 itself is used at an intersection on the road, etc., for the purpose of facilitating confirmation of the position of the intersection, especially at night, and is called a "cat's eye". It has a known structure in which spheres made of plastic or the like are arranged. The reflection member 20 is installed on the front side wall 22 (FIG. 5) of each car stop member 12, 14, that is, the side wall illuminated by the light of the entering vehicle, and the recess 24 provided only in that part. It is fixed inside. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the tire T is stopped by hitting the car stop member, the tire T does not hit the reflecting member 20 directly and is not damaged thereby.

In the car stop device 10 of the present invention having the above-described structure, FIG. 1 shows a parking state at a regular center position in which the rear tire T of the vehicle A is stopped by hitting the first car stop arms 12a and 14a. Shows. When the vehicle A enters from the front, the front tire T is in the same stopped state. In this parking state, the second car stop arms 12b and 14b of the car stop members 12 and 14 are in a state of extending laterally from the rear portion of the parked vehicle A, but the arms 12b and 14b are It is installed in a length that does not interfere with getting on and off from A's door D. As described above, in the embodiment, the size is set to 63 cm so that there is no problem even if the size of a general private car is large or small. However, the size is about 50 to 80 cm, which is wide. Is suitable.

In FIG. 7, the vehicle A is advanced in a parking space P in which the car stop device 10 of the present invention is set in a state of being inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis XX of the space P as indicated by an arrow Y. It shows the case where it is inserted. In this case, if the vehicle A is entered without switching the direction, the rear tire T comes into contact with the second car stop arm 14b of the one car stop member 14. The driver learns from the approach inclination condition of the vehicle A that the direction of approach is corrected by the contact, and at this time, the vehicle A is switched to the direction of the arrow Z to rebuild the vehicle A toward the central position along the axis XX. You can Then, if the vehicle enters as it is, the first detent arms 12a and 14a of the detent members 12 and 14 come into contact with the corresponding tires of the vehicle A and can be easily stopped at the regular center position shown in FIG.

As described above, even if the vehicle is slightly biased, the driver can enter the tire until the tire hits the second wheel stop arms 12b and 14b, whereby a small number of switching operations can be performed. You can stop at the central position with and you can do it without worrying about contact with adjacent parked vehicles.

At the time of the above-mentioned approach, especially at night, it is difficult to grasp the parking position, but since the position can be confirmed by the light of the vehicle hitting the reflecting member 20, a more easy approach driving operation is possible. It will be possible.

[0025]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, by installing a pair of left and right car stop members that integrally have first and second car stop arms that form obtuse angles with each other, even an inexperienced person in contact with another vehicle can contact the vehicle. It is possible to safely and reliably enter the vehicle into the central position of the parking space without causing any accident, and unlike the conventional car stop block, there is no need to worry about the pair of car stop members coming off and jumping backward. Since the car stop member can be formed of a cast product or the like, it has various practical effects such as being more durable than a concrete block and being ready for installation work.
