Abstract
An electrical conducting wire for providing high visibility. The conducting wire is coated with a conducting, colored paint which improves the wires visibility. The conducting wire can be used in electric fencing of livestock or high-tension power lines commonly seen around airports.
Claims9
An electrical wire having improved visibility, comprising:
- an electrical conductor material, and
- a coating layer covering said conductor material, said coating layer being a colored, electrically conductive paint which includes a substance which fluoresces under daylight, whereby
- said coating layer is capable of carrying an electric charge and improving the visibility of the wire.
A method for making a fluorescent coated wire, comprising:
- providing an electrical conductive wire,
- providing a colored, electrically conductive fluorescent paint which is capable of adhering to the conductive wire, and
- coating the conductive wire with the colored, electrically conductive fluorescent paint, whereby
- said paint is capable of carrying an electric charge and improving the visibility of the wire.
