Description

The present invention relates to a use of an adhesive film for mounting on a vehicle, in particular a land, air, and / or watercraft, wherein the adhesive film in the attached state has at least a first region and at least a second region, wherein the first and second region have a first and second signal color.

The use of such adhesive or adhesive films is e.g. often found in the context of ambulances, fire engines, lifeboats of the DLRG or rescue helicopters. Due to their overriding importance, these land, air or water vehicles are usually covered with warning and / or signal color foils, in order to ensure the highest possible attention during their use.

From the publication DE 10 2008 057 254 A1 is a luminescent multilayer glass film for application to translucent or transparent glass surfaces with a first at least translucent layer, a second layer and a third at least translucent layer known. In this case, the first and third layers are formed as cover layers, between which the second layer is arranged, wherein the second layer contains as functional layer photoluminescent luminescent pigments such that it is likewise at least translucent.

Due to the limitation of the prior art to a purely luminescent color film, this is only conditionally suitable for use in aircraft, water or land vehicles. Finally, such films are used especially in daylight, in which luminescent color films significant disadvantages, e.g. compared to daylight colors in terms of their visibility and contrast.

It would therefore be desirable to further develop an adhesive film or adhesive film in such a way that it ensures optimized recognizability or optimized contrast both for daytime use and for night and twilight use of the corresponding vehicles.

It is the object of the present invention to develop the use of an adhesive film of the type mentioned in an advantageous manner, in particular to the effect that the perceptibility or identifiability of a land, air, and / or watercraft or an attached adhesive film by day, Twilight and night strengthened or improved.

This object is achieved by a use of an adhesive film having the features of claim 1. Thereafter, it is provided that a use of an adhesive film for attachment to a vehicle, in particular a land, air, and / or watercraft is provided, wherein the adhesive film in the attached state has at least a first region and at least a second region, wherein the first region has at least a first signal color and wherein the second region has at least one second signal color and in particular has light-reflecting properties.

The invention is based on the basic idea that an adhesive film in connection with a land, air and / or watercraft (eg by use for police, rescue applications, fire departments, etc.) can be used, on the one hand has a first and second signal color. The first signal color has a first red hue and the second signal color has a second red hue. However, the first red hue and the second red hue are associated with different shades of red. Accordingly, red shades are particularly advantageous for such vehicles because they are generally recognized and perceivable as warning or signal colors. Incidentally, the first and second signal colors may each also be designed as first and second warning colors. In addition, adhesive film is designed such that the second signal color or the second region of the adhesive film has luminescent or reflective properties. Due to this configuration, the use of a single adhesive film or a single adhesive film blank is particularly advantageous for both the daytime and for the night use of such vehicles. As a result, the visibility of these vehicles can be significantly increased so that they can still move safely in their particular environment, especially in an emergency situation. By separating luminescent or reflective color areas and color areas with signal color on a single foil, these foil areas can be independently optimized for perceptibility during the day and at night or at twilight. Thus, it can also be provided in this context that the first signal color has a daylight color. As a result, the perceptibility of the adhesive film for people overall advantageously increases, so that this has a significant increase in operational safety especially in land vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks or ambulances with regard to people and the environment result. By applying the adhesive film on the respective vehicles can be further dispensed with expensive and technically complex painting process, so that the provision of the signal colors by means of Adhesive film is much easier and cheaper. In addition, the adhesive film can be easily removed in the course of a different use of the vehicle, which in addition result in significant advantages in the variability of the use of land, air and / or water vehicles.

Incidentally, it may be provided that the first signal color has at least one first hue and wherein the second signal color has at least one second hue, wherein the first hue and the second hue a higher hue, in particular, red, blue, green, yellow, beige, orange, purple, gray or brown, are assigned, wherein the first hue is not the second hue. The different shades of the adhesive film of a same higher-order hue (for example two red shades) can advantageously be used to form individual, characteristic and easily distinguishable representations of the respective vehicle. Thus, it can also be provided that by means of the adhesive film a characteristic pattern or a label in the form of a company or brand name can be mapped. In this context, it is also conceivable that the first hue and the second hue are each associated with at least one parent, achromatic black or white color.

It is further conceivable that the first signal color is associated with a first unique color code and wherein the second signal color is associated with a second unique color code, wherein the first and second color code each at least one red, blue, green, yellow, beige, orange, purple, gray or brown color, the first color code being different than the second color code. The assignment of the first and second signal color with a unique color coding has the particular advantage that the color selection is standardized and thus potential sources of error due to incorrect color selection can be effectively excluded. Incidentally, thereby the production of the adhesive film can be further standardized or automated and thus considerably simplified. The assignment of the first and second color coding to several different higher-level color shades also allows a very wide range of application of the adhesive film on land, air and water color products, which also have a signal color. Such vehicles can be used, for example, by postal delivery services, railway companies, the German Federal Armed Forces, the Federal Border Police, the state and federal police and their special forces, the fire brigade, the water rescue or the coast guard.

In addition, it is conceivable that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one red hue. The use of the red-trained adhesive film takes place in particular in land, air and / or water vehicles for emergency rescue of people injured. Such land vehicles in the form of motor vehicles or commercial vehicles are, for example, emergency ambulances in general, baby ambulance vehicles in particular, ambulances, ambulances or even fire-fighting vehicles for emergency rescue or motorcycles. In addition, the use of red adhesive film especially for air vehicles for emergency rescue. These air vehicles are e.g. trained as a rescue helicopter or rescue helicopter or rescue aircraft. The signal color red also plays an important role in water rescue. For example, ships or DLRG boats can be clearly characterized by their red adhesive film.

It is also possible that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one blue hue. A colored in blue signal color adhesive film can be used particularly advantageous in land, air and / or water vehicles, the technical relief organization, the state or federal police and the water police. In this context, the use of a blue signal color in ships and boats of the Coast Guard may be particularly advantageous. In this regard, it may also be provided that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one purple hue.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one green hue. A colored in green signal color adhesive film can be used particularly advantageous in land, air and / or water vehicles of the German Bundeswehr and the state and federal police and the water police. In this context, the use of a green signal color in coastal guard vessels and boats can be particularly beneficial.

It is also conceivable that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one yellow hue. The use of a yellow-trained adhesive film also takes place in land, air and / or water vehicles for emergency rescue of accident victims or even postal delivery services. Such land vehicles or motor vehicles or commercial vehicles are, for example, emergency ambulances in general, baby ambulances in particular, ambulances, ambulances or fire-fighting vehicles for emergency rescue. In addition, the yellow is used Adhesive film especially for air vehicles for emergency rescue. These air vehicles rescue helicopter or rescue helicopter or rescue aircraft (eg ADAC rescue helicopter). The signal color yellow also plays an important role in water rescue. Thus, in addition to the red adhesive film, the ships or boats of the DLRG can be clearly characterized by their yellow adhesive film.

In addition, it is conceivable that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one beige hue. The use of a beige-trained adhesive film is particularly advantageous and clearly identifiable in land, air and / or water vehicles of civil protection and the German Armed Forces.

Furthermore, it is possible that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one orange hue. The use of an orange trained adhesive film is particularly advantageous and clearly identifiable in land, air and / or water vehicles of civil protection and land vehicles and road vehicles of the road and / or Autobahnmeisterei) in Germany. The use of an orange trained adhesive film can also be advantageous and clearly identifiable in motor vehicles of waste disposal companies.

It is also conceivable that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one gray hue. The use of a gray-trained adhesive film is particularly advantageous and clearly identifiable in air and / or water vehicles in the form of surface ships or boats and aircraft and helicopters of the German Navy.

It is also conceivable that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one brown hue. The use of a brown trained adhesive film is particularly advantageous and clearly identifiable in land vehicles in the form of motor vehicles and commercial vehicles and motorcycles of the German Bundeswehr. In addition, it may be provided in this regard that the first and second color coding are each associated with at least one achromatic black or white color.

Moreover, it is possible that the first and the second color coding are each assigned to a color number and / or a color code from the color coding system RAL Classic, RAL Design System, RAL Effect and / or RAL Plastics. The standardized and standardized RAL color system is a widely used color catalog, especially in Germany, which makes it particularly easy and quick to clearly determine certain colors. The first and second color tones of the first and second signal colors used for the adhesive film in the context of this invention can be selected from all the color tones or colors defined by the color systems: RAL Classic, RAL Design System, RAL Effect or RAL Plastics. In addition, it is conceivable to select the first and second color tones of the first and second signal colors used in the context of this invention for all defined colors or color tones of the color systems: Munsell Color System, Natural Color System (NCS) or Pantone Matching System (PMS) , Incidentally, it may be provided that the first and second color tones of the first and second signal colors used in the context of this invention for all defined colors or shades of the color spaces: CIE 1931 XYZ, CIELUV, CIELAB, CIEUVW, RGB, sRGB, Adobe RGB, YIQ, YUV, YDbDr, YPbPr, YCbCr, xvYCC, HSV, HSL, HSB, HSI or CMYK are selectable.

It can further be provided that the adhesive film is designed as a self-adhesive film. Above all, a self-adhesive film advantageously facilitates the attachment and removal on the respective air, water and / or land vehicle. Incidentally, depending on the configuration of the self-adhesive film, a very durable and reliable adhesive film can be provided. Incidentally, the adhesive film may also be formed as an adhesive film. The adhesive film is designed such that it adheres to the surface of the respective air, water and / or land vehicle without additional adhesive film layer.

It is also conceivable that the adhesive film has at least a first film layer structure and at least one second film layer structure, wherein the first region is formed by the first film layer structure and wherein the second region is formed by the second film layer structure, wherein the second film layer structure is self-adhesive on the first film layer structure is. This embodiment of the adhesive film allows a very simple construction of the adhesive film, since only two differently colored color areas can be glued one above the other. This simple combination of two adhesive films simplifies the production and the surface shaping of the entire film, since the different color ranges do not have to be colored consuming and separate from each other. Furthermore, the shape of the first and second color regions of the adhesive film can be made more free and therefore more variable since it is decoupled from the color by sticking the second film layer structure to the first film layer structure.

Further details and advantages of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
