Description

  The present invention is installed in a place used by an unspecified large number of people such as a platform and stairs of a station, and other stairs of buildings and footbridges, etc., particularly for inducing walking of visually impaired persons such as elderly people and low vision people. The present invention relates to a guide tile and a manufacturing method thereof.

  Generally, for visually handicapped persons such as elderly people and weakly sighted persons, walking on a platform of a station causes anxiety such as falling on a railway track. In addition, stairway ups and downs in stations, buildings, pedestrian bridges, etc., make it difficult to distinguish the steps of the stairs and make you feel uneasy. In order to eliminate such anxiety, a guide tile in which a colored display piece colored yellow or the like is conventionally provided on the surface of the tile body has been used. Further, in order to prevent an accident such that the guide tile slips and falls while walking, a non-slip piece made of rubber or the like for slipping is provided on the surface of the tile body.

  However, since the color of the colored display piece is conspicuous in the daytime, the position of the end of the station platform and the steps of the stairs can be easily recognized, but it was so colored at night. The presence of the colored display pieces is not conspicuous, and there is a possibility that the positions of the end portions of the platform and the steps of the stairs cannot be recognized.

  Therefore, in view of such a point, for example, a patent application such as the following Patent Document 1 has been filed. According to claim 4 of this Patent Document 1, “light-emitting equipment characterized in that LEDs are provided on a guide laying material for a visually impaired person laid on a sidewalk and these LEDs emit light. And claim 5 describes that the laying material is a tile.

  As described in paragraph [0003] of the specification which is the prior art of the patent document 1, the invention according to this patent document 1 states that “many of the conventional displays are not sufficient in display function, In many lighting facilities, incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps are used as light sources, which have a short life and are likely to be cut off. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the bulbs relatively frequently. In view of the problem that the equipment is difficult in a narrow space limited to a large space, the problem is to solve such a problem.

  However, in places where incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps are used as lighting equipment, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a useful means, but in places such as station platforms and stairs. As described above, only the means of providing a colored display piece colored yellow or the like on the surface of the tile main body as described above is taken, and installing such a LED instead of such a colored display piece, Costs increase significantly and are not economical.

JP 2001-147657 A
