Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sign tape used as a prohibition sign, an instruction sign, etc., and is particularly characterized by imparting curling properties to the tape.

When two cars are used on the road, an accident may occur if passersby or cars enter the area, so measures are taken to restrict the entry of people and cars into that area.

Of course, this type of regulation is not limited to construction work; for example, when a road becomes dangerous due to a collapse, measures are taken to restrict access to that area. Or, when there is an event and a large number of people are present at the same time, measures are taken to restrict passageways to ensure smooth passage.

Specific methods of regulation include setting up shelves or stringing ropes around the area to be regulated, but these are relatively tall and require a lot of effort to carry and clean up. In particular, it must be prepared in advance, so if it suddenly becomes necessary to use it, such as when restricting access to an area when a traffic accident occurs, it will be possible to respond to the need. It cannot be done. Furthermore, it is important that such control means be easily visible and reliably recognized, but ropes are thin and difficult to notice, so they are of little use, especially at night.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and because it is much smaller in bulk than ropes etc., it can be carried by construction workers and others at all times and used whenever necessary. It is highly visible and highly effective as a sign.

The present invention will be specifically described below based on illustrated embodiments.

Reference numeral 1 in the figure is a marker tape. This is mainly used outdoors to mark dangerous areas for people and vehicles, to prohibit entry, or to form passageways, and is made of water-resistant film such as polyethylene film. It is provided with curling properties, especially in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and is designed to curl with a curvature of at least 10 to 30 degrees. The width and color of this tape 1 are not particularly limited and should be appropriate for the purpose of use.For example, the width is 50 to 150 I
+I11 or so is selected. Since this item will be used as a sign, it is important to choose a color that is easy to stand out and a color that suits the purpose of use, such as black and yellow stripes or red. Patterns such as red and white are selected, and especially when used to restrict passageways during auspicious events, the method of using red and white tape 1 is to use ordinary tape. There is no difference from tape 1.
Both ends of the rope are tied in place and then stretched. Then, since the tape 1 is endowed with curling properties, it curls in a spiral shape to resemble a rope, as shown in FIG. The difference between this tape and rope is that it is extremely light, so it flutters even when blown by the slightest breeze, and its spiral state partially opens and closes, changing its shape, which makes it stand out. The dynamic conspicuousness is added to the ease of use, making it extremely easy to stand, increasing its effectiveness as a sign.

To manufacture this sign tape, for example, first a base tape is prepared, and a slight draft is applied to it to stretch the tape, and another film is laminated on one side of the tape. Then, the laminate film curls due to the shrinking force of the base tape. By the way, in order to add a striped pattern to a sign tape, a two-color or multi-color compression molding machine is used to form a cylindrical film 2 with a longitudinal force h + striped pattern as shown in FIG. Cut it open in a spiral shape and make it into tape. As a result, this tape forms a striped pattern that is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction, which is why it is used as a base tape.

By the way, there are no particular restrictions on the quality of the sign tape 1, but if this tape tears or necks due to external force during use, it may cause damage between the profiteering film and the surface film at the stage of laminating it. One method is to insert thread 3 or woven fabric to reinforce it.

As described in detail above, the present invention is a sign tape that is used by stretching it over a desired location, and in particular, the tape is given curling properties so that when it is stretched, it twists into a spiral shape, making it look like a rope. Moreover, it changes its shape according to the wind,
Because they move in a complex manner, they are extremely conspicuous, making them even more effective as signs. In addition, when not in use, this tape can be wrapped around a core material, reducing its volume to an extremely small size, so personnel such as neckline construction workers can carry it with them at all times. If you use it at the right time, power ≦ will be effective, so you can prevent accidents from occurring.
