Abstract

The present invention is an improved safety nosing component including a base element with channel member and a light emission element. The safety nosing component is manufactured by extrusion, co-extrusion, triple-extrusion, injection molding, insert injection molding, two-shot molding or a combination thereof. The present invention allows safety nosing components to be installed on architectural structures while also providing additional functionality.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 005,739 filed Dec. 7, 2007.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to safety components and more particularly to nosing components for architectural structures and improved manufacturing thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Safety devices are used on architectural structures in a variety of environments to reduce risk. Many environments exist where various poor lighting scenarios occur, for example, dimmed lighting or darkness due to a power failure or smoke resultant from a fire. Risks may occur when people attempt to navigate in poorly lit environments; such risks include physical injury, lack of orientation, lack of information regarding navigation and lack of familiarity with the environment. To mitigate these risks, illuminated safety devices exist that are typically installed on stairs, floors, walls, and handrails such as that disclosed in application Ser. No. 12 / 2...
