Abstract

Integrated floor plate guidance system for visually impaired and blind people for indoor and outdoor use, characterized by the fact that the integrated floor covering system for square diagonally laid sidewalks and indoor floor coverings has been invented.

Description

general definition:

The Floor plate guiding system for Visually-impaired and blind people are known worldwide. It consists of lines / stripes and points. The visually impaired persons are moved by their "blind stick" over the Path along the lines / strips passed on the bottom plate, points mark a junction.

State of the art of international Baseplate control systems

Generally have bottom plates, with about 3-5 mm pronounced / raised Lines / stripes and dots, a square format and are in one Signal color for the visually impaired and old people have a leading role even without a "stick".

problem Statement

The Square diagonally laid walkway slabs counteract with the previously only vertically installable Bodenplattenleitsystem with Lines / stripes and points. To the previous floor plates with To relocate the control system in the local sidewalks, the individually cut to adjacent diagonally laid floor panels this will be for cost reasons not done to the detriment of the visually impaired and the blind.

field of use

The In the flooring integrated guidance system can be used for walkways, squares and Parks as well as interiors (in public buildings and in airports and stations) be used.

Statement of the invention

• 1. Tastbare und gut zu erkennende Leitlinien sind für Blinde und Sehbehinderte eine unverzichtbare Orientierungshilfe.
• 2. Verbesserung durch die Vereinfachung der Handhabung. Der neue Bodenbelagstyp kann in das am häufigsten verwendete diagonal verlegt Bodenplattensystem integriert werden. (Kunststein oder Linoleum im Innenraum)
• 3. Es ist ein starkes Gestaltungsmerkmal in der Stadt, was zu einer Aufwertung des städtischen Raums führt.
• 4. Im Hinblick auf den Gender Mainstreaming Grundstatz in der Stadtentwicklungspolitik, der fordert, „dass sicherzustellen ist, dass Raumrepräsentationen sowie die Gestaltung transportierter Werte und Normen aller Geschlechter, Ethnien, Altersgruppen und Klassen einbezogen werden müssen.” Dies bedeutet für die Sehbehinderten eine qualitative Verbesserung ihres Alltagslebens in der Stadt.

It leads to four important improvements.

• 1. Tactile and easily recognized guidelines are an indispensable guide for the blind and visually impaired.
• 2. Improvement through the simplification of handling. The new type of flooring can be integrated into the most commonly used diagonally installed floor tile system. (Artificial stone or linoleum in the interior)
• 3. It is a strong design feature in the city, leading to an upgrading of the urban space.
• 4. With regard to gender mainstreaming, a basic principle in urban development policy, which calls for "the need to ensure that space representations and the design of transported values and norms of all genders, ethnic groups, ages and classes must be included." For the visually impaired this means a qualitative one Improving their everyday life in the city.

Product description

The integrated floor coverings system is invented for square diagonally laid walkways and floor coverings in interiors ( 1 ).

A bottom plate with line / stripe shape has in the connection between the longest side distance of the stone to the top of a page min. two embossed / raised parallel lines / stripes starting from the midline ( 1 + 2 ) which, when moved against each other, lay diagonally 3 lines / stripe in a straight pavement course ( 3 and 4 ).

The embossed convex lines / stripes can be designed in all variants as a concave depression / recess ( 1 + 6 )

Due to the diagonal laying of two stones, the embossed / raised lines / stripes result in a straight line on the sidewalk ( 5 . 6 and 7 ).

The Control system varies internationally in the number of lines / strips, In this invention, one can vary by varying the distances between the lines reach a different number of lines / stripes. There should be at least two lines / stripes to detect the guidance system his, three and four lines / strips are easier by their small distances award.

A other variations are the distances between the raised convex lines / stripes that are in the same height of Lines / strips to concave wells / recesses be formed can. The embossed / raised Points that are always a change of direction Mark are distributed on the entire stone.

she can also the transition between the old guidance system and the new one.

The embossed / sublime Lines / stripes and dots are optionally colored in a signal color and can also mixed with reflective particles that are suitable for the visually impaired are visible.

It can also change the bottom plate and the lines / stripes in the selected signal color colored be.

The pronounced / raised lines / stripes and points of the floor slab take in the amount of their expression, the optimized control function for the visually impaired and at the same time for the eyesight no obstruction or even danger due to excessive unevenness in the floor covering.

The Product is for different flooring sizes and materials provided z. B: 15 × 15, 20 × 20, 30 × 30, 50 × 50 (the stones mentioned are smaller by the joint dimension z. B .: 30 × 30 = Stone size of 29.5 × 29.5 mm) Etc.

Important is that the distance between the lines / stripes is regular and when laying the stone forms a straight line.

• – Trennmarkierung zwischen Fahrradweg und Fußgängerweg mit nur einer herausgeprägten/erhaben Linie/Streifen
• – Sicherheitsmarkierung und anti-rutsch Sicherung am Bahnsteigrand

The stone could also be used for other purposes such. B .:

• - Separation mark between cycle path and pedestrian path with only one embossed / raised line / strip
• - Safety marking and anti-slip protection on the platform
