JPS60335Y2 - Color cone with illuminator - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a color cone with an illuminator, which is a safety tool used in road construction and the like.

Colored cones are security tools placed at road construction sites to notify passersby and vehicles that construction is underway.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional color cone consists of a main body 1 integrally molded from plastic or the like in the shape of a cap, and an illuminator 2.

The illuminator 2 consists of a plug 4, a socket 3 from which a cord connector body 5 extends, and a light bulb 6.

The socket 3 is fixed to a support metal fitting 7, which is bent as shown in the figure and secured to a bolt 8 embedded in the main body 1 by tightening both ends thereof with nuts 9.

The illuminator 2 has a connector hote 5 and an insertion plaque 4.
and are connected by an extension cord.

However, in such a conventional color cone, when the support fitting 7 is removed when replacing the light bulb 6, etc.,
The two nuts 7 had to be loosened one by one using a tool such as a spanner, which caused a problem in that it was troublesome to remove and assemble the illuminator 2 to the main body 1.

Therefore, it is not easy to remove the illuminator 2 and stack the main body 1 many times during transportation or storage.
There is a problem in that it requires a lot of space or labor.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and aims to solve the above problems by making it easy to assemble and remove the illuminator.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

The same components as in FIG. 1 of the conventional example are given the same reference numerals.

The shape of the main body 1 is the same as the conventional example, with a pointy cap shape, and a pair of slits 10 are provided at opposite positions on the bottom. The shape is similar to the cross-sectional shape of the end of the support fitting 7, and the width is determined so as to provide an appropriate loose fit.

The support fitting 7 has a U-shape, has the illuminator 2 attached to the center thereof, and has both ends bent to be inserted into the slit 10 to form an insertion portion 11.

The material of the support fitting 7 is selected from metal, plastic, etc. having elasticity, and is elastically deformed as a plate spring so that the distance between the insertion parts 11 can be expanded and contracted.

The main body 1 can be manufactured by modifying a conventional mold and integrally molding the slit 10, or by molding the main body 1 without modifying the conventional mold, and then molding the slit 10 with a press or the like. There is a way to punch it out.

Since the support fitting 7 of the main body 1 is configured as described above, when assembling the support fitting 7 to the main body 1, the distance between the insertion parts 11 is shortened using grip force, etc., and the restoring force is used to make the support fitting 7 face up. Both insertion parts 11 are fitted into the slits 10 and fixed.

Since the support fitting 7 is firmly held by elastic force, the illuminator 2 will not fall off.

The support fitting 7 can be removed with one touch by simply compressing the insertion portion 11 against elastic force.

As explained above, since the supporting metal fittings for the illuminator made of leaf springs are fitted into the slits formed in the main body and fixed, the illuminator can be attached and detached with a single touch, and the color cone can be removed during transportation and storage. It becomes extremely easy to stack up many layers, and the labor and space spent on transportation and storage can be greatly reduced.

In addition, speeding up the assembly of color cones greatly contributes to the prevention of danger at construction sites with heavy traffic.
