Description of the invention (i) Background of the invention 1. Field of the invention The present invention relates to reflective articles, in particular to reflective glass embedded Beads, fences made of high-density polyethylene substrates sometimes called microspheres. 2. Description of skills The use of glass beads embedded in plastic galls is a known skill. U.S. Patent No. 4766032 shows "reflective transfer thin H and its manufacturing method" in which glass beads are embedded in the thermoplastic composite thin H. However, it is not directly embedded in the substrate as in the present invention, nor is it embedded within 50 to 70% of the bead diameter. The degree of embedding is only general. (Refer to paragraph 5, lines 50 to 55). U.S. Patent No. 4,950,525 is on "Elastic Reflective Thin H" in which beads are embedded in the polymeric thin H. However, the sheet is covered with a cover layer 19 (refer to paragraph 5, lines 25 to 32, the final product description). U.S. Patent No. 41041Θ2 is similar to No. 4950525, in which the glass beads are covered with a sealing layer. U.S. Patent No. 387339Θ uses glass beads adhered with an adhesive (fifth circle) (paragraph 13 U.S. Patent No. 4505967 describes a reflective sheet in which the microspheres are buried in the first polymeric layer less than the average of the microspheres The film is half of the diameter and the film is laminated to the microspheres covering the surface of the first layer. US Patent No. 4569857 describes a method for preparing a reflective thin Η of Pu Yao adhesive material.

U.S. Patent No. 4,376,141 relates to a technology in which a mixture of materials including glass beads or microspheres is formed into an H, which has various exposed surfaces., Description of U.S. Patent No. 4,897,136 A kind of reflection Η, where the cover mold is used on the microspheres. US Patent No. 4,921,754 pseudo-states that the buried ball is embedded, the lower part is only in the base layer, and then covered with a surface layer. US Patent No. 5039557 describes the use of road marking materials Preheated glass beads. These beads are heated to below their melt adhesion, but are buried at a temperature above the melting point of the existing thermoplastic road marking material. Then the beads are dropped on the sassafras material, and the heat from the beads is Transfer to plastic material to make it melt and the beads adhere. Then the beads are pressed into the plastic material by a stick. There is no specific number for the depth of embedding. The present invention is particularly concerned with the embedding of reflective beads in road markings U.S. Patent No. 5,055,347 shows partially embedded microspheres, after they are embedded in the substrate (## 3), they are coated with an adhesive layer.

Description of the invention (3) The plastic dropper pen of the reflective plastic articles in China is embedded with glass beads in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is made of plastic or thermoplastic material, the glass beads are heated and the thermoplastic material is softened by the contact with the heating beads. Pressing the beads to embed them in the substrate to at least 50% of its diameter, but not more than 70% of its diameter, the resulting product has excellent durability and abrasion. The embedding of 50 ~ 70% of the beads of the present invention is superior to the conventional technique in that it does not require a covering layer to maintain the embedding position of the beads in the thermoplastic substrate. Since no covering layer, adhesive or adhesive is needed to maintain the positioning of the glass beads, its material cost will be reduced and it can provide a larger temperature range \ UV stability and chemical properties.

Description of the invention (4) Fragment of the anti-grid material of the beads. The lanthanum material 12 has panels 50 separated by 52 rows of holes. The pores are separated by the strip 54. The glass beads 3Θ are embedded in the panel 5Θ to form a reflective strip 56, which imparts reflective properties to the grid lanthanum material 12. Although the preferred use of the method of the present invention is an orange material made of a blend of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene, such as 90¾ HDPE and 10 $ polypropylene, this method can be used with any plastic or thermoplastic substrate . According to the 3rd to 6th images, which exemplifies the embedding method, the fence material 12 leaves the spreading frame 14, and is pushed to the applicator 24 by the driving stick 26, which is positioned by the sticks 16, 18, 20 and 22. When the barrier material 12 enters the applicator 24, it is subjected to the glass embedding process by driving above the stick 26. The glass bead funnel 28 contains glass beads 30. More than one funnel can be used, as shown in Figure 4. The best type of glass bead is a silica glass ball of size 11, logo quality, and reflection index of 1.91, manufactured by Filex-〇-Lite (P.0.B0Χ4366, St. Louis, MO 63123). As shown in FIG. 5, the glass beads 30 descend through the neck 29 of the funnel 28 and are heated by an electric heater 32 located on the opposite side of the neck 29 from lanthanum. Although any temperature above the melting point of the plastic substrate and below the temperature of the glass beads can be used, in the case of HDPE / polypropylene substrates, a temperature of about 900T is preferred. The electric heater 32 is set at a temperature between 920 ° and 960T to produce a bead temperature of about 900T. A simple mechanical valve 27 located at the neck 29 of the glass bead funnel 28 can control the flow of the glass beads 3β from the funnel 23. It can be removed to move freely. Therefore, the bead 3Θ can be controlled by the valve 27 and released continuously or intermittently. The heated glass beads 30 flow into the shout 34 and reach the diverter 36, which can divert the beads so that they are evenly distributed over the width of the reflective strip 56.

Description of the invention (5) When Yucheng is used on the material 12 in the column, the poly-glass funnel 28 The continuous release glass beads 30 form a reflective strip 56 on the panel 50 of the grid ellipse material 12. The fourth circle shows the Sanhe glass bead coating unit, which can apply the reflective glass bead strip 56 to the fence material 12. The device shown can be adjusted to 48 "wide. But this method can be used on plastic materials of any width. Although the grid shows three reflective strips 56 on the alternating panel, this procedure can use more than 10 μ or more coating units, depending on the configuration of the fence material used. The thermal energy of the glass beads 30 is used to melt the plastic substrate in contact with the glass beads 30. With the forceps 33, a load can be applied to the glass beads (as can be seen from the third circle) to displace the molten plastic and increase the surface area of contact to promote heat transfer. The thermal energy and the applied load must be set to bury the glass beads about 50% of their diameter into the surface of the original substrate, but not more than 70%, as shown in Figure 6a and 61). The molten plastic flows upwards around the glass The beads provide physical locking of the beads into the plastic surface. The depth of embedding is important for two reasons. First, it provides positive locking of the beads, and second, it provides the reflective properties of the glass beads. The depth of embedding must be greater than 50% to physically lock the beads into the surface, so that the product is durable. The embedding depth determines the maximum angle at which the product (substrate surface or flat surface) can be turned 9Θ ° away from the light source and still be reflective. The maximum embedding depth of 70% of the bead diameter is very important to maintain product performance. After the application of the glass beads, the orange ellipsoid material 12 moves through the applicator 24 to the winder 40, where the final product 10 is wound into the stick. The coating method of embedding the glass beads in the surface of the plastic base material does not require adhesives or adhesives to keep the reflective glass beads on the surface.

Description of the invention (6) The advantages of the present invention exceed that of the conventional technology. There is no need to use adhesives or adhesives to maintain the positioning of the glass beads, which can reduce the number of material interfaces to one point, which can reduce the number of possible failure modes. This interface is mechanical and does not rely on unicast strength or bond strength to keep the glass beads in position. Therefore, the long-term reflective service life characteristics of the product only come from glass beads and plastic substrates, which can provide excellent durability and wearability of the product. There is no need for adhesives or adhesives to reduce material costs, and to provide a larger temperature range, greater UV stability and better chemical resistance. The preferred and alternate specific examples of the present invention are described above. Persons familiar with this technique may know other equivalents of the specific examples described herein, and such equivalents should be included in the scope of the attached patent application.
