The second transparent plastic layer is bonded to the first transparent plastic layer. An array of retroreflective elements is bonded to the top layer. An inner layer is bonded to a second side of the array of retroreflective prism elements.

Abstract: The method for forming a retroreflective sheeting includes providing a first layer (12) and forming a prism array (14) on the first layer. A second layer (24) is applied to the prism array. The first thermoplastic layer is welded to the second thermoplastic layer, while applying a die (28) having a plurality of cells with multicourse, hatched patterned perimeters to the layers to dislocate a portion of the prism array, thereby allowing the first layer to be bonded to the second layer at the portion.

Abstract: Retroreflective sheeting and a method of forming and using such sheeting is described in which a base body is formed with closely spaced microsprisms. The microprisms have window facets extending across the body portion in a plane with retroreflecting facets extending from the window facets to apices. Either the base body surfaces or the side facets are textured to deviate the path of light entering and/or retroreflected from the prisms to provide a uniform distribution of light.

The retroreflective structure is formed of an array of rigid retroreflective elements having a first side and a second side. A transparent polymeric film is attached to the first side of the array of rigid retroreflective elements. A transparent fire-resistant outer layer is attached to the transparent polymeric film. A flame-retardant layer is placed proximate to the second side of the array of rigid retroreflective elements. A fire-resistant polymer underlayer is attached to the flame-retardant layer. The fire-resistant polymer underlayer can be bonded to the transparent polymeric film through the array of rigid retroreflective elements and the flame-retardant layer.

Abstract: Retroreflective sheeting and articles are formed in which the size of the retroreflective and non-retroreflective surfaces may be varied across an array of microprisms. This is accomplished by varying the location of the reflective coating applied to the microprism side facets, such that, some prism side facets are completely coated with reflective material while others are coated only at the apex area; and still others are coated with a non-reflective coating, such as, a colored adhesive.

Abstract: Cube-corner retroreflective articles having wide observation angle performance, uniform orientation angle performance and wide angularity in multiple viewing planes are provided by very small (0.0005 inch to less than 0.0006 inch) size prism elements (10) in which pairs (10A, 10B) of such elements are tilted; preferably in a negative direction. In an alternate embodiment, retroreflective prisms are formed with windows (10F) thereon by removing a portion of the prism mold on one prism pair (10B, 10C) leaving the apex of the prism intact. In this manner smaller prisms are formed adjacent larger prisms.

Abstract: A retroreflective structure (10) having prism elements (14) and a method for making the structure (10) are disclosed. The retroreflective structure (10) is formed of an extensible, elastomeric film (12) and a rigid, non-extensible array of retroreflective prism elements (14). The array (14) is bonded to the elastomeric film (12), thereby forming a retroreflective structure (10) which can be significantly stretched without significantly diminishing the retroreflective properties of the structure.
