Description

The present invention relates to a display tape and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly to an enhanced safety tape.

Conventionally, a display tape has been used as a means for displaying prohibition of entry to dangerous places or for displaying places requiring attention such as steps. For example, this display tape is affixed to the perimeter of a moving part of a power machine in a sewage treatment plant, the edge of a step, the edge of a staircase, etc. On the other hand, attention is being drawn.

This display tape is usually called "tiger tape" or simply "tiger" because it is reminiscent of an animal tiger because it has an alternating color scheme of sloping yellow and black. In JIS, it is yellow. The width of black and black is the same, and the angle of each diagonal line is set to 45 °. Further, Patent Document 1 discloses a tratape that can display the content of caution by combining yellow with other colors such as red and blue other than black.

Utility Model Registration No. 3081355

The conventional display tape, which is called a tiger tape, can be attached to dangerous places, steps, and other places that require attention to alert workers and those who have to enter the place. However, its alerting power is performed by human vision. Therefore, for a worker who works in the place for a long time, since the display tape is always within the range of the field of view, there is a possibility that the alerting power may be weakened by getting used to it. In addition, since such a place is not a place where ordinary people other than workers can enter, the area is not large, the stairs to and from the place are narrow, the stairs are steep, and even water. It has the property of having a high degree of danger because it is a place that is easily wet. For this reason, the appearance of display tapes that can obtain further attention has been desired.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to realize the above-mentioned request, and an object of the present invention is to provide a display tape that can be used not only for visual attention but also for tactile sensation.

The display tape according to the present invention is a display tape attached to a displayed portion in order to notify the contents such as the existence of a dangerous portion in order to achieve the above object, and is the basis of the display tape. A large number of granules are fixed to the surface of the material portion in a state of protruding from the surface of the base material portion.
In the display tape of the present invention, the granules may be made of sand such as silica sand, minerals such as anthracite, or synthetic resin.
The method for manufacturing a display tape of the present invention is the method for manufacturing a display tape, wherein an adhesive is applied to the surface of the base material portion of the display tape, and the applied adhesive is before solidified. A large number of granules are sprayed and the applied adhesive is solidified, so that the granules are fixed to the adhesive layer.

The display tape of the present invention has sand such as silica sand, minerals such as anthracite, and granules made of synthetic resin adhered to the surface of the base material of the display tape. When is attached to the surrounding area indicating the range of the movable part of the power machine of the sewage treatment plant, the edge of the step, or the indicated part such as the edge of the stairs, for the worker or the person who enters the place. It is possible to call attention not only visually but also by touch.

It is a top view of the display tape which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is an X-ray cross-sectional view of FIG. It is a perspective view of the state in which the display tape is wound. This is an example of using a display tape.

The display tape 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a plan view of the length of a part of the display tape 1 attached to the displayed portion A such as the edge of a staircase or a step.
As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, the display tape 1 is composed of a base material portion 2, an adhesive layer 3, a release paper 4, an adhesive layer 5, and a granular material 6. In FIG. 2, hatching representing a cross section is omitted in order to avoid complication of the drawing. Further, since the actual size of the granular material 6 is extremely small with respect to the width and length of the display tape 1, the granular material 6 is exaggerated with respect to the base material portion 2 for easy understanding. Shows.

The base material portion 2 is made of synthetic resin and is formed in a long shape having a predetermined width and thickness, like the base material portion of a well-known tiger tape. The material of the base material portion 2 may be other material such as cloth instead of synthetic resin. Similar to the well-known tratape, the yellow portion 2a and the black portion 2b are printed on the upper surface of the base material portion 2 (the upper surface in FIG. 2) with the same width and the angle of each diagonal line kept at 45 °. ing. In addition, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 described later, the black portion 2b is shaded so that the granular material 6 can be recognized on the black portion 2b.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is applied to the entire lower surface (lower surface in FIG. 2) of the base material portion 2 in the same manner as the pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to the base material of a well-known tiger tape. As the pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, one having a strength that does not easily peel off when the base material portion 2 is attached to the displayed portion A is selected.

The release paper 4 is made of a well-known release paper such as a paper coated with a silicon resin, and is provided so as to protect the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer as used in a well-known tiger tape. As shown in FIG. 2, the release paper 4 adheres to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 with a strength that allows it to be easily peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 when the display tape 1 is attached to the displayed portion A.

The adhesive layer 5 is applied to the upper surface of the base material portion 2, and a well-known adhesive having a property of exhibiting transparent or translucent when solidified is selected. Therefore, the adhesive layer 5 does not impair the display of the yellow portion 2a and the black portion 2b printed on the upper surface of the base material portion 2.

The granular material 6 is selected from particles of minerals such as sand and anthracite, and particles made of hard synthetic resin having a certain degree of hardness and particle size. The selection criteria can be adopted as long as it gives the feeling of riding on something rough when a worker or the like steps on the display tape 1.

The granular material 6 is fixed to the upper surface of the base material portion 2. In the fixing method, the granular material 6 is sprayed on the coating layer of the adhesive immediately after the adhesive is applied to the upper surface of the base material portion 2, that is, before the applied adhesive is solidified. Then, as the adhesive layer 5 solidifies, the lower end portion of the granular material 6 sprayed on the upper surface of the base material portion 2 is fixed to the adhesive layer 5 and integrated with the display tape 1. Each of the granules 6 protrudes from the surface of the adhesive layer 5.

The spraying amount of the granular material 6 is determined within a range in which the display of the yellow portion 2a and the black portion 2b printed on the upper surface of the base material portion 2 is not impaired, and the granular material is silica sand or a synthetic resin having excellent transparency. In the case of manufacturing, the amount of spraying can be increased.

Further, the display tape 1 is distributed as a wound as shown in FIG. 3, and further, as shown in FIG. 4, is cut to a predetermined length according to the displayed portion A such as a staircase. The material of the granular material 6 is appropriately selected in consideration of the cutability by the cutter. The reference numeral c shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicates the cutting position of the display tape 1.

The method of using the display tape 1 having the above configuration is to cut the display tape 1 exhibiting a wound object as shown in FIG. 3 in accordance with the displayed portion A such as the stairs shown in FIG. Then, the release paper 4 is peeled off from the cut display tape 1 (adhesive layer 3), and then the adhesive layer 3 is attached to the displayed portion A for use. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, the release paper 4 is peeled off from the display tape 1 (adhesive layer 3), and at the same time, the adhesive layer 3 is attached to the display portion A, and then the display tape 1 is attached to FIGS. 1 and 1. It is used so as to cut at the position shown by c in FIG.

Since the display tape 1 having the above configuration is provided with the granular material 6 on the surface of the display tape 1, when a worker or the like steps on the display tape 1, the display tape 1 becomes rough. Since the sensation of riding is given, in addition to the visual alerting of the display tape 1, the attention alerting by the tactile sensation can be obtained, and the display tape can be made to be more excellent in alerting. Further, since the granular material 6 has an anti-slip effect, when a person unknowingly steps on the display tape 1, he / she feels a different sense of resistance and the presence of the display tape 1. Not only can you recognize, but you can also prevent slipping. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a display tape having excellent safety.

Although the display tape according to the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and design changes and the like may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. It is possible.

In particular, in the above example, the display tape 1 is a wound object, but a long object having a predetermined length such as 30 cm or 50 cm can also be used. Furthermore, the plane shape may not be long, but may be a square with a side length of 30 cm, a rectangle with a long side length of 50 cm, a short side length of 15 cm, or another plane shape. can. Therefore, the term "display tape" in the present invention also includes such a planar shape.

Further, in the above example, the pattern displayed on the display tape 1 is not a tiger pattern, but may be various patterns such as a continuous black band in the central portion in the longitudinal direction, or may be yellow. It can also be in various combinations such as red. Further, the color pattern printed on the upper surface of the display tape 1 can be formed by different colors of the granules 6 sprayed on the adhesive layer 5.
