Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ribbon or strip for a parking garage or parking places, painted on the upper side with a bright colour such as yellow, red or white..
  • the document WO 93/21388 discloses a method and a device to provide better reflection for surfaces, particularly for marking lines in roads.
  • the surface comprises a thin layer provided with ridge-like markings and painted with a reflective paint.
  • the elevated ridges provides the surface with areas which are at a right angle relative to a line of vision for a person looking at the surface from an inclined angle, thus rendering the surface more reflective.
  • Such a surface will also be subjected to the wear described above when placed for example in a road.
  • the document CH 463 559 also shows a strip provided with ridges.
  • the strip is provided with a smooth top layer and a second layer beneath the first layer for improving the durability of the strip. Such a strip will also be subjected to the wear described above.
  • the present invention aims at a solution of these and other similar problems.
  • This solution is achieved with the strip or ribbon as described in claim 1.
  • the strip Upon passage of a wheel only the uppermost tips will become worn whereas the paint will otherwise remain intact.
  • the paint at the bottom of the pleats is not affected by the wheels since the strip consists of steel plate or Zn-Al plate or some other rigid, metallic material, or of plastic such as polyurethane.
  • the pleating may be stepped, with the upper edges running substantially at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the strip, or may be zig-zag or sinus shaped.
  • An advantage with these strips is that they can be attached to the underlying surface by means of studs impacted therein, attached to the ribbon by means of welding or fired from a riveting gun.
  • the strip may also be attached to the floor by means of gluing, e.g. using a binder attached to the lower side of the strip which is heated when the strip is in place and, when the binder has solidified, secures the strip to the underlying surface. A driver about to park in one of these marked spaces will feel if he has not parked straight when he drives over the strips.
  • the strips are easy to clean since any dirt deposited in the bottom of the pleats is loose and can easily be flushed or vacuumed away.
  • the pleating may also be placed asymmetrically so it is more easily visible when driving into the parking space.
  • the pleated strips can be produced by crimping or rolling.
  • the paint used may either be painted directly on the upper side of the sheet metal or on top of a primer on the same upper side. Attachment can also be facilitated by drilling holes in the floor for the studs in the strip. A suitable strip width may be about 10 cm. Glass balls or chips or other reflecting particles may be mixed into the paint with the object of increasing visibility.
  • the paint may be powder-paint.
  • the strips of sheet metal or plastic are of non-deformable, non-resilient type, where the tops will not be pressed down by a vehicle driving over them - an important advantage with the present invention.
  • Figure 1 shows the wheel of a vehicle in contact with a strip according to the invention (in this case stepped), and Figure 2 the same strip seen from above.
  • Figures 3-5 show various strip shapes.
  • Figure 1 shows the wheel (1) of a vehicle, rolling in over a stepped strip (2).
  • This strip is pleated in its mid-portion (3) in stepped shape, i.e. with a substantially vertical part (4) and an adjacent inclined part (5).
  • An advantage with this shape is that light falling on the vertical parts is reflected towards the driver heading towards the vertical parts (4).
  • the strip which is of non-deformable sheet metal or plastic, is painted in bright colours on its upper side and is shaped with a rounded transition (6) between the vertical and inclined parts.
  • This part (6), on which the wheel rolls or is supported, is the only part of the strip which will be subject to wear, the rest of the paint remaining, despite repeated wear.
  • the strip marking is therefore long-lasting and requires little cleaning.
  • Figure 2 shows a stepped strip according to Figure 1, seen from above.
  • the mid-portion (3) is thus the stepped part and two flat parts (7) are located, one on each side of this part,
  • the strip is attached to the floor by means of studs impacted into the floor, welded to the lower side of the strip or fired from a riveting gun. It is also possible, e.g. in the case of plastic strips, to apply a binder to the lower side of the strip which, after being placed as desired, is heated to melting point and becomes attached to the floor upon subsequent solidification.
  • Figure 3 shows a zig-zag shaped strip (8) secured to the floor by means of impacted studs (10).
  • Another variant (9) shows a sinus-shaped strip, also attached by means of impacted studs (10).
  • the strip may also be provided with rounded elevations, separated from each other (11, Figure 5).
  • the pleated part (6) of the strip may either be parallel to its longitudinal direction or may be at a right angle or an acute angle to this.
  • the invention thus offers marking strips for a parking garage or parking places which, despite the passage of innumerable vehicles, provide durable and clear marking of parking spaces, etc.
  • the invention can be varied in many ways within the scope of the following claims.
