Abstract
This invention relates to the designation of aisles by providing a visual device for separating horizontal, vertical, or inclined spaces. In warehouse set-out areas merchandise or traffic patterns can more nearly be controlled by the use of this invention in designating these set-out spaces. In factories, safety aisles for pedestrian or vehicular traffic may, also, be more readily controlled by the use of the aisle designators described in these specifications. Also, on highways or where automobiles, trucks, and buses must travel the use of this invention can more safely guide the paths of travel by designating the aisles of movement.
Claims3
An aisle designator for use with a surface having a groove structure formed therein, said aisle designator comprising:
- indicator means having first and second surfaces and a peripheral edge, said first surface being convex in conformation, said second surface being planar, said peripheral edge being formed by the juncture of said first and second surfaces, said peripheral edge defining a circle, said indicator means having an axis of symmetry normal to said second surface and intersecting the center of said circle, said indicator means having a bore formed therethrough, said bore having a bore longitudinal axis normal to said second surface and offset from said axis of symmetry toward said peripheral edge;
- anchor means having an annular configuration, said anchor means being attached normal to said second surface, the longitudinal axis of said anchor means being aligned with said axis of symmetry, said anchor means having a cross-sectional diameter less than the diameter of said circle, said second surface having an interior bearing portion and a peripheral bearing portion defined by said anchor means;
- and
- the groove structure being annular in conformation and normal to the surface, said anchor means fitting flush within the groove structure, said interior and peripheral bearing portions fitting against said surface.
