〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明は路面標示用シート材に関し、特に大きな角度で
入射する光線に対して高い再帰反射輝度を有し、かつ雨
天時夜間にも高い再帰反射輝度を有する全天候型路面標
示用シート材に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a sheet material for road markings, which has high retroreflection brightness especially against light rays incident at a large angle, and has high retroreflection brightness even in rainy weather and at night. The present invention relates to an all-weather road marking sheet material that has reflective brightness.

うになっている。BACKGROUND ART Retroreflective road marking sheet materials are used as road markings such as road markings and road signs. Various types of road marking sheet materials currently in use are made visible even at night by scattering or mixing glass beads into the resin layer as retroreflective elements.

とんど水膜中に埋没するため、その反射機能が損われ、
雨天時夜間には視認性が極めて悪くなるという共通の欠
点がある。When the marking surface of these road marking sheet materials is covered with a film of water during rainy weather, most of the upper hemisphere of the glass beads that have a reflective function are exposed to the atmosphere from the sheet material surface and are buried in the water film. As a result, its reflex function is impaired,
A common drawback is that visibility is extremely poor during rainy weather and at night.

ことにより、雨天時夜間における視認性の改良を図って
いる。Therefore, several proposals have been made to improve the visibility of such road marking sheet materials in rainy weather and at night. For example, U.S. Patent No. 4.388.359
No. 1, etc., attempts to improve visibility in rainy weather and at night by providing a large number of irregularities on the surface of a sheet material in which glass beads are embedded. Also, JP-A-62-2114
Publication No. 03 discloses that glass beads with a refractive index of 2.0 to 2.4, which do not relatively lose their retroreflectivity even in rainy weather or at night, are embedded in the base sheet at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the base sheet. By forming a large number or partially continuously, visibility is improved during rainy weather and at night.

シート材の反射輝度の低下は非常に危険であるので、こ
のように大きな入射角で入射される光線に対する路面標
示用シート材の再帰反射輝度の改善が望まれていた。These conventional all-weather road marking sheet materials exhibit the expected visibility when the light from the headlights of a vehicle driving at night is irradiated onto the road marking sheet material at a relatively small angle of incidence. However, the light from vehicle headlights is normally 60° to 8° relative to the road marking sheet.
Because it is irradiated at a very large incident angle of 0'', the retroreflection brightness decreases at such a large incident angle, and furthermore, in rainy weather, the retroreflection brightness is not affected by the water film and further decreases. However, a decrease in the reflective brightness of road marking sheet materials during rainy weather and nighttime is extremely dangerous, so it is desirable to improve the retroreflective brightness of road marking sheet materials against light rays that enter at such large incident angles. was.
本発明は、上記従来の路面標示用シート材の問題点を解

示用シート材を提供するものである。The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of conventional road marking sheet materials, and the road marking sheet material is incident at a large angle of 60 degrees or more required during normal use. An object of the present invention is to provide an all-weather road marking sheet material that has sufficient reflective brightness against light rays and has high reflective brightness even in rainy weather and at night.

It is characterized by

とができる。With the above configuration, according to the present invention, light rays incident at a large incident angle of 60° or more are transmitted from relatively large diameter glass beads to relatively small diameter glass beads in the retroreflective sheet via the transparent resin. After being incident and reflected on the reflective layer, the light passes through relatively small diameter glass beads, transparent resin, and relatively large diameter glass beads and is retroreflected. Therefore, the refractive index of relatively large-diameter glass beads, relatively small-diameter glass beads, and resin, the particle size of relatively large-diameter glass beads, relatively small-diameter glass beads, and the relatively large-diameter glass beads are relatively large. 60' by appropriately selecting and combining the resin spacing between small diameter glass beads, etc.
High retroreflection efficiency can be obtained at such a large incident angle.

輝度が向上する場合らあることが判った。Furthermore, although the optical mechanism of tT 4H1 is unknown, by adopting the configuration of the present invention described above, even when the exposed portion of a relatively large diameter glass bead is covered with a water film, the retroreflection brightness is reduced in a dry state ( It was found that there is no substantial decrease in retroreflection brightness compared to that under clear weather conditions (corresponding to nighttime conditions), and in fact, there are cases in which retroreflection brightness improves compared to dry conditions.
次に本発明にかかる高輝度全天候型路面標示用シート材
の構成について図面を参照して説明する。Next, the structure of the high brightness all-weather type road marking sheet material according to the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
第1図において、本発明の路面標示用シート材Aは再帰
反射シート1およびベースシート2からなるものである
。In FIG. 1, the road marking sheet material A of the present invention consists of a retroreflective sheet 1 and a base sheet 2.
再帰反射シート1の樹脂3は透明性を有し、比較的大径

およびポリエステルを架橋したものが好適であり、その
他ビニル重合体、酢酸セルロースブチレート等の熱可塑
性物質ら使用可能である。The resin 3 of the retroreflective sheet 1 needs to be transparent and have good holding power for relatively large diameter glass beads 4, and also has abrasion resistance, stain resistance, and discoloration resistance because it is used outdoors. It is necessary to take these factors into consideration when making a selection. As resins that do not meet these conditions, crosslinked acrylic polymers, aliphatic urethanes, and polyesters are suitable, and other thermoplastic materials such as vinyl polymers and cellulose acetate butyrate can also be used.
本発明においては、比較的大径のガラスビーズ4を少な

nunを超えるビーズは脱落し易くその使用には問題が
ある。In the present invention, by providing at least a portion of the relatively large diameter glass beads 4 exposed in the air, a large amount of light is received even if the irradiated light beam is at a wide angle, and a large amount of light reaches the lower reflective layer. Therefore, in order to reflect wide-angle light, the larger the particle size of the glass beads 4, the greater the effect, but considering the use on road surfaces, 2.
Beads larger than nun tend to fall off and are problematic in their use.
また0、2’z+++n未満では輝度が低下し、本発明
の目的を充分に達成し得ない、したがって大径のガラス
ビーズ4の粒径は、0.25〜2+mの範囲内のものを
選ぶ必要があり、特に0.25〜0.5關のものが好ま
しい。Moreover, if it is less than 0.2'z+++n, the brightness will decrease and the object of the present invention cannot be fully achieved.Therefore, the particle size of the large-diameter glass beads 4 needs to be selected within the range of 0.25 to 2+m. In particular, those in the order of 0.25 to 0.5 are preferred.
大径のガラスビーズ4は屈折率1.75〜2゜2の範囲
のものが好ましい。屈折率が1.75末渦では輝度が低
下する一方2.2を超える屈折率のガラスビーズは製造
が難しく高価となる。The large diameter glass beads 4 preferably have a refractive index in the range of 1.75 to 2°2. When the refractive index is 1.75, the brightness decreases, while glass beads having a refractive index of more than 2.2 are difficult and expensive to manufacture.
大径のガラスビーズ4は全表面積の30〜60%となる
ように均一に散布され層となっている。The large-diameter glass beads 4 are uniformly dispersed in a layer covering 30 to 60% of the total surface area.

背面には金属蒸着膜等からなる反射層8が設けである。In the retroreflective sheet 1, relatively small diameter glass beads 5 are embedded and fixed in a transparent resin layer behind relatively large diameter glass beads 4 at a distance from the glass beads 4 to form a layer. A reflective layer 8 made of a metal vapor deposition film or the like is provided on the back side of the transparent resin layer behind the small diameter glass beads 5.

The reflective layer 8 is located behind the glass beads 5 and is located at the focal point of the glass beads 5. This can be obtained by forming a metal film such as an aluminum film on the back surface of the focusing resin layer 7, which is preferably adjusted so as to match the above, by a known method such as a vacuum deposition method. Regarding the retroreflective sheet, start with the lower layer a shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view in Figure 2! J! ! Further explanation will be given based on an example in which an upper layer is provided on the lower layer a. A focusing resin layer 7 for adjusting the film thickness is provided, and a reflecting layer 8 made of a metal vapor deposited film or the like is formed on the back surface of the focusing resin layer 7 in a curved surface concentric with the glass beads 5. , a surface layer 9 is provided to reinforce the glass bead holding resin layer 6.

とができる。As described above, according to the present invention, light rays incident at a large incident angle of 60' or more are incident on the small diameter beads from the large diameter beads of the retroreflective sheet through the transparent resin, and are reflected at the reflective layer. After that, it passes through small diameter beads, transparent resin and large diameter beads and is retro-reflected. Therefore, the refractive index of large-diameter beads, small-diameter beads, and resin, the particle size of large-diameter beads and small-diameter beads, and the spacing of resin between large-diameter beads and small-diameter beads, etc. are appropriately selected and combined. As a result, it is possible to obtain higher retroreflection efficiency than the conventional one at a large incident angle of 60' or more.
