Definitions

  • the current invention concerns an universal facilitated reading signalling or information label, suitable to be particularly applied to garments such as trousers, blue-jeans, shirts, jackets, sheets, tablecloths and so on.
  • the signalling label comprises a laminar sheet, made of a material of various kinds, for example plastic or paper-based material, having a graphic symbology adapted to provide information relating to the handwork to which the label is applied, for example manner with which the manufacturing company recommends or suggests the end user to wash, dry and/or iron the handwork itself.
  • the most significant information contained in these identification labels and expressed by the aforesaid graphic symbology relate to the temperature and mode of washing, drying and ironing recommended for the fabric handwork.
  • the present invention intends to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art just mentioned.
  • main purpose of the present invention is to provide an universal facilitated reading signaling label which presents one or more graphic symbols, capable to provide information about the product to which is intended, independently accessible and decipherable by any person, whether non-disabled, blind or visually impaired one.
  • primary purpose of the invention is to create an universal facilitated reading signalling label presenting a graphic symbology efficiently and independently understandable by non-disabled people and, at the same time, by visually impaired and blind people.
  • the signalling label object of the present invention allows blind and visually impaired people to independently gain access to information that, up to date, are precluded to them, with the obvious benefits that this entails both in moral terms and in practical terms, for example from the point of view of the social costs.
  • the signalling label of the invention improves the quality of life perceived by more unlucky people under the physical appearance, such as in this case the blind and the visually impaired.
  • the invention allows the manufacturer to effectively meet with a single constructive pattern of signalling label both the needs of the non-disabled people and visual-disabled people, without the need to dedicate specific labels for each of these categories of persons.
  • the invention allows the manufacturer of signalling labels for fabric items, for example clothes, to be able to finally and conveniently produce signalling labels also for blind and visually impaired people, without having to provide for the production of a specific label having relevant and hitherto considered unjustified costs.
  • the universal facilitated reading signalling label suitable to be associated with a product such as for example an article of clothing, is generally indicated with 1.
  • the signalling label 1 comprises a laminar base support 2 made of fabric of synthetic thermo-fixed material and provided on the outer face 2a with a plurality of informative graphic symbols, on the whole indicated with 3, suitable to providing data related the aforesaid product.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 of the laminar base support 2 are in relief and legible, understandable, accessible and/or intuitable by any, non-disabled, visually impaired and blind person.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 are tactile, independently decipherable by a blind or partially impaired person, on the other hand and at the same time they are widely and easily understandable even by a non-disabled person.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 of the signalling label 1 of the invention are, indeed, borrowed from the conventional symbology of the labels of known type, with respect to which they are, however, simplified for manufacturing issues and easy to be understood even by visual-disabled persons.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 have thus a minimalist and stylized design compared to the traditional symbols currently adopted to provide guidance and information to non-disabled people: this in order to keep a kind of continuity with the current symbology used in the identification labels to provide information about a particular product, while resorting to alternative simpler and more schematic graphic sings easily intuitable at touch by blind and visually impaired persons.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 have a high colour contrast compared to the laminar base support 2 which, in general, has a white or neutral colour.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 comprise a small wave 4 which recalls the wave surface of the water so as to symbolize the washing operation of the product.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 preferably comprise a circle 5 which recalls the drum of a dryer so as to symbolize the drying operation of the product.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 comprise a straight line 6, which recalls the effect of the fabric after ironing so as to symbolize the ironing operation of the product.
  • the small wave 4, the circle 5 and the straight line 6 are side-by-side and aligned in the face 2a of the laminar base support 2.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 also include a plurality of dots 7 arranged below the small wave 4 and the circle 5 and suitable to indicate the temperature at which the washing operation and the drying operation occur.
  • the signalling 1 label illustrated in figure 1 comprises two dots 7 under the small wave 4 and a dot 7 under the circle 5.
  • the two dots 7 under the small wave 4 indicate that the washing of the article of clothing is recommended to take place at an average temperature, approximately equal to 60°C, while the only one dot 7 under the circle 5 indicates that the drying of such an article of clothing is recommended to take place at a low temperature, approximately equal to 30°C.
  • the informative graphic symbols could include a number of dots, and their combination with the above graphic symbols, different from those one just mentioned, such a number being able to vary starting from one below at least one graphic symbol among the small wave, the circle and the straight line.
  • the maximum number of dots that can be associated with the small wave, the circle and/or to the straight line is three, where three dots means that the temperature of washing, drying and/or ironing is recommended to be high, approximately equal to 90°C.
  • the informative graphic symbols 3 comprise an "X", numbered with 8, in this specific case arranged below the straight line 6 so as to symbolize the ban to perform the ironing operation.
  • the graphic symbols 3 are dimensioned and spaced apart each other in such a way as to be clearly and effectively recognized by the blind and visually impaired person through the fingers of the hand, generally the fingertip.
  • the first graphic symbol 3 introduced above i.e., the small wave 4 presents a length of 1.5 cm, as well as the third graphic symbol 3, that is the straight line 6.
  • the second graphic symbol 3 mentioned before presents a diameter of 1.5 cm
  • the two diagonal lines forming the graphic symbol "X" 8 also present a length of 1.5 cm.
  • the graphic symbols 3 are spaced apart each other along a horizontal direction X and along a vertical direction Y by a distance D of value included the range 0.45 ⁇ 0.5 cm.
  • the laminar base support 2 presents a rectangular profile in front view, having for example a width L equal to 6 cm and a height H equal to 3 cm.
  • Figure 1 also highlights that, near a first side edge 2b, the laminar base support 2 is preferably provided with a linear interconnection 9 adapted to receive junction means, such as a seam line G, of the laminar base support 2 itself to the product.
  • junction means such as a seam line G
  • the linear interconnection section 9 extends over the entire height H of the laminar base support 2.
  • the synthetic material of the base support 2 is any polyester selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and/or similar thermoplastic polymers.
  • the universal facilitated reading signalling label is accessible to any, seeing, blind or visually impaired person, resulting extremely useful and important in the everyday sphere especially for the last two categories of persons just above.
  • the manufacturer of such a signalling label can simultaneously meet the needs of people with physical abilities rather different each other in effective way both from his own production point of view and from the end user's fruition point of view.
  • changes could be made to the universal facilitated reading signalling label of the invention consisting, for example, in one or more informative graphic symbols applied to also or only the inner face of the laminar base support.
  • the laminar base support includes a number of informative graphic symbols in relief different from that one shown in the appended figure 1 , which does not affect the advantage brought by the present invention.
  • the universal facilitated reading signalling label of the invention could be applied not only to articles of clothing but also to cans or boxes of food, such as for example pasta, salt and sugar, as well as to boxes of detergents and so on for the purpose to help non-disabled, blind, visually impaired and elderly people in the daily live.
