Description

[0001] The invention relates to a floor window for receiving and displaying an information carrier on a surface, particularly in industrial environments where information carriers are permanently displayed on the floor and regularly replaced.

[0002] Floor-mounted signs, where an information carrier is visibly positioned on the floor, are known from the prior art. These floor-mounted signs are used in production facilities for the individual identification of storage and parking spaces in production and logistics. The signs are mounted directly on the floor and can be labeled using DIN-format paper inserts printed on-site. These floor-mounted signs are preferably suitable for indoor use, self-adhesive, and forklift-resistant.

[0003] One known solution uses a circumferential or all-around adhesive bond to protect the information carrier from environmental influences. To protect the inner papers, these bottom windows are fully bonded to the floor with adhesive strips. Replacing the paper is not possible without damaging the bottom window. Another known solution uses a slide-in or insert system, in which the information carrier is inserted through a slot under the bottom window. A further known solution uses repositionable adhesive systems.

[0004] In practice, conflicting objectives arise between interchangeability, protective effect, secure floor mounting, and mechanical robustness. Systems permanently bonded around the perimeter make replacing the information carrier difficult or require handling that is perceived as impractical. Insertable systems can create an entry point for dirt and moisture and are prone to soiling in harsh environments. Removable systems require defined contact surfaces, so a reliable bond to the floor can be compromised by varying surface conditions. The adhesive effect is particularly reduced on uneven surfaces. Furthermore, there is a high risk of breakage of the films due to rotational forces, such as those exerted when a vehicle drives over the floor window, even under light loads.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a mechanically robust floor window that enables both secure attachment to the floor and particularly easy replacement of the information carrier, while simultaneously protecting the information carrier from contamination. This object is achieved by a floor window according to claim 1.

[0006] The floor window according to the invention for receiving and displaying an information carrier on a substrate comprises a) a base layer with a front and a back, wherein the back of the base layer has a permanently adhesive layer designed for permanently fixing the base layer to the substrate, b) a cover layer that is at least partially transparent and covers an information carrier when it is in a closed position, if the latter is arranged between the base layer and the cover layer, c) wherein the top layer is hinged to the front of the base layer along a first lateral section of its circumference via a non-repositionable and detachable connection, so that the top layer can be folded open between the closed position and an open position, d) wherein the top layer has an adhesive strip along three further side sections of its circumference which, in the closed position, is repositionably and removably adheres to the front of the base layer, e) wherein the adhesive strips together with the first side section, along which the top layer is hinged to the base layer, form a preferably circumferentially closed edge closure, which closes an interior space for receiving the information carrier at the edge, and f) wherein the information carrier can be replaced by opening the top layer without detaching the base layer from the substrate.

[0007] The floor window according to the invention can be permanently and securely attached to a substrate and enables the dirt-proof arrangement of an information carrier in a preferably edge-enclosed interior space as well as the replacement of the information carrier by opening and closing, without having to loosen the floor attachment.

[0008] The floor window according to the invention can be manufactured industrially and used in storage, production and logistics environments, especially where floor information is permanently displayed and regularly updated.

[0009] The basic concept of the invention consists of combining two functionally different adhesive systems with a hinged, hinged cover layer. A first adhesive system is designed as a permanently adhesive layer on the back of the base layer and serves as a floor anchor for the permanent attachment of the floor window to the substrate. A second adhesive system is designed as a repositionable and removable edge seal along three side sections of the cover layer and allows the floor window to be repeatedly opened and closed. Alternatively, the second adhesive system can be designed as a bonding system in which the repositionable and removable connecting elements are designed as self-adhesive strips with a micro-suction cup-like microstructure without adhesive. The cover layer is hinged along a first side section to the front of the base layer via a non-repositionable and removable connection, so that the cover layer remains hinged.The interaction of the hinge side and the three-sided adhesive connection forms a preferably circumferentially closed edge seal, which closes the interior at the edge, while the base layer remains on the substrate.

[0010] The permanently adhesive layer bonds the base layer to the substrate across its entire surface, so that shear and tensile forces from foot traffic, cleaning, and operating forces when opening and closing the floor window are transferred into the substrate. The substrate may be slightly rough or cracked. Soiling of the floor is less of an issue.

[0011] The hinge-like connection guides the top layer to the base layer, so that when opening, a rotational movement occurs around a defined hinge line, and the top layer is not completely removed. In the closed state, the three-sided adhesive strips create an adhesive contact with the front of the base layer and hold the top layer in a closed position at the edges. To open the system, they can be detached by peeling them off the front of the base layer. The resistance to rotational forces, such as those encountered when driving over the floor window, is thus much higher than with known solutions. A smooth front surface of a rigid film as the base layer is particularly advantageous for ensuring the adhesive force.

[0012] The separation into primary and secondary adhesive layers ensures a permanent base fixing, while the edge closure can be repeatedly opened and closed. The edge closure, preferably fully enclosed, creates a sealed interior, minimizing the ingress of splash water and dust. The combination of base anchor, hinge-like connection, and three-sided releasable edge closure allows for robust and reproducible operation when replacing the information carrier. The materials used make the base window very easy to clean, extending its lifespan.

[0013] In the context of this disclosure, "substrate" refers to the surface of the floor to which the base layer is attached by means of the permanently adhesive layer. "Base layer" refers to a planar support element with a back side facing the substrate and a front side facing the interior of the floor window. "Cover layer" refers to a transparent covering with a front side visible from the outside and a back side facing the interior. A "permanently adhesive layer" is an adhesive layer designed for permanent attachment and not intended to be repeatedly removed and repositioned. A "non-repositionable-removable bond" is a bond that is not intended to be removed or repositioned and that connects the cover layer to the base layer in a hinge-like manner.A "repositionable-removable adhesive strip" is a connecting element of the top layer that, as intended, can be detached from the base layer by peeling it off and then reattached by pressing it back on. A "repositionable-removable adhesive strip" is an adhesive strip whose adhesive effect is provided by an adhesive. A "self-adhesive strip" is an adhesive strip whose adhesive effect is provided without adhesive by a micro-suction cup-like microstructure formed on the adhesive surface. A "fully enclosed edge" is present when the interior of the bottom window is closed along its perimeter to accommodate the information carrier, so that no deliberately left-open gaps are provided as direct passageways to the interior.

[0014] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims or can be seen from the following description and / or the accompanying figures.

[0015] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adhesive strips extend into the respective corner areas between adjacent side sections. This means that the adhesive zone is not deliberately omitted in these areas. When closing, an additional adhesive contact is created in the corner areas between the adhesive strips and the front surface of the base. When opening, the adhesive strips are peeled away from the base. The adhesive effect in the corner areas reduces the likelihood of gaps forming near the edges and stabilizes the completely sealed edge.

[0016] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive strips are formed continuously along the entire length of each of the three further side sections. "Continuous" means that a continuous adhesive area without any intended interruptions is provided on each side. The continuous adhesive area creates a continuous adhesive line or surface along the respective side edge, so that contact forces are distributed more evenly and release processes occur along a continuous release front. A continuous adhesive area also promotes a uniform closing effect along the edges.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one of the adhesive strips along one of the three further side sections is formed from several spaced-apart subsections, the subsections being arranged such that the adhesive strips extend into the respective corner areas, thus forming a continuous, closed edge seal. A subsection is a single adhesive segment that represents a discrete adhesive zone compared to a continuous strip. "Spaced-apart" means that intermediate areas without adhesive segments can be provided between subsections without negating the edge seal function. During closure, several adhesive segments are pressed locally against the front surface of the base, each forming an adhesive contact.When opened, the individual segments can detach one after the other, thus distributing the detachment force into smaller events, while the hinge-like connection continues to hold the top layer in place. This segmentation improves ease of use when opening because the maximum detachment force per segment can be lower without compromising the edge seal function.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one adhesive strip is formed in one piece and extends over at least two of the three further side sections. "In one piece" means that the adhesive strip is guided as a continuous adhesive element without a butt joint over a corner area, for example, in an L-shape over two adjacent side sections or in a U-shape over three side sections, and adheres to the front of the base layer in the closed position. When closing, the one-piece adhesive strip is pressed against the front of the base layer over the corner area, so that a continuous adhesive contact without a strip joint is created in the corner area. When opening, the strip is peeled off as a unit over the connected edge section, while the top layer remains guided over the hinge-like connection.The one-piece corner transition promotes a continuous edge finish in the corner area and can reduce points of attachment for unintentional detachment.

[0019] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adhesive strips each have a width of approximately 30 mm to 50 mm. A greater width results in a larger adhesive contact area between the adhesive strip and the front surface of the base, thus increasing the resulting holding force and the area reserve against local adhesion reductions, while maintaining the same adhesive characteristics.

[0020] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adhesive strips are arranged on the reverse side of the top layer. The top layer carries the releasable adhesive zone and, when closed, is pressed against the front surface of the base, thus creating adhesion to the counterpart of the base's front surface. When opened, the adhesive zone is detached from the front surface of the base and remains on the top layer. This arrangement integrates the opening and closing function into the moving component and simplifies handling because the base layer serves as a defined, stationary counter-adhesive surface.

[0021] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adhesive strips are designed as adhesive tape strips that are detachably attached to the top layer. An adhesive tape strip comprises a carrier and an adhesive layer, the adhesive being designed to be repositionable and removable. The strip is attached to the top layer, thus forming the adhesive zone. The carrier mechanically stabilizes the adhesive layer, particularly during removal, and defines the removal path. The design as adhesive tape strips allows for easy assembly and permits the selection of suitable tape types to adapt the adhesion / removal properties to the intended application.

[0022] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive strips are designed as a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating applied to the top layer. A pressure-sensitive adhesive coating is an adhesive layer that is applied directly to the top layer in the edge zones without the need for a separate strip carrier. This direct coating reduces the number of components and enables a low overall height as well as a defined edge zone geometry.

[0023] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one of the adhesive strips comprises an adhesive film whose underside, facing the front of the base layer, is laminated with an adhesive. An adhesive film is a film-like carrier formed as an edge strip. "Laminated" means that an adhesive layer is applied to the underside of the adhesive film as a composite layer, so that the adhesive film and adhesive interact as a laminate. The adhesive film acts as a mechanical carrier that stabilizes the adhesive layer and enables a defined force transmission during peeling. The laminated adhesive film improves the handling stability of the adhesive zone and supports a reproducible adhesion / removal function because the carrier mechanically supports the adhesive layer.

[0024] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to the underside of the adhesive film as a liquid adhesive. A liquid adhesive is an adhesive that can be applied in liquid form and forms a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer after application. The liquid adhesive is applied to the underside of the adhesive film and forms the laminated adhesive layer there. The liquid application enables the formation of the adhesive layer with a defined thickness and edge contour on the adhesive film. Flexible manufacturing is advantageous because the adhesive application and adhesive geometry can be adapted for each edge zone without relying on pre-made strip material, while the function of the repositionable and removable edge seal is maintained.

[0025] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least some of the adhesive strips are designed as self-adhesive strips without glue, in that the surface facing the base layer has a micro-suction cup-like microstructure. This provides the repositionable-removable bond through a mechanical self-adhesion principle, so that no adhesive layer is required to generate the adhesive effect. This can be advantageous because adhesive-related contamination or aging of the bonding surface can be reduced, and the adhesive effect can be restored after cleaning the bonding surface, provided the microstructure is not damaged.

[0026] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the top layer overlaps the front surface of the base layer in a circumferential edge region, within which the continuous, closed edge seal is formed. "Overlapped" means that the top layer, in its closed state, is arranged flat over the front surface of the base layer. In the overlap zone, the adhesive strips are pressed against the front surface of the base layer and guided by it. The hinge-like connection holds the top layer in a defined position, so that the pressing process in the edge zone is reproducible. The overlap stabilizes the edge seal zone against local deflections of the top layer and promotes a reproducible closing effect, particularly under mechanical stress from walking, driving over, or cleaning.

[0027] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base layer and top layer are rectangular. The rectangular geometry defines clear reference edges for the hinge connection and the arrangement of the adhesive strips and facilitates uniform edge zone formation. The rectangular design is particularly practical for standardized insert formats and supports reproducible handling during insertion and closing.

[0028] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the top layer is arranged essentially congruently with the base layer in the closed position. In the context of the rectangular embodiment, "congruently" means that the rectangular top layer is positioned relative to the rectangular base layer in the closed position without any significant lateral offset, so that the outer contours of both layers essentially coincide in the edge region; the term "essentially" accounts for manufacturing and assembly-related tolerances as well as a hinge zone along the first side section. This arrangement allows the top layer to reach a defined final position relative to the base layer when closed, in which the adhesive strips bear against the front of the base layer in their intended edge zone.This promotes a reproducible formation of the completely closed edge seal and reduces edge protrusions as mechanical points of attack for unintentional detachment, thereby improving the stability of the closed state and the handling during closing.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first side section is a longitudinal side of the rectangular base layer. A hinge line along the longitudinal side allows for a greater opening width of the top layer and distributes bending stresses along a longer edge.

[0030] The longitudinal side connection facilitates access to the interior and improves usability when replacing the information carrier.

[0031] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the non-repositionable-removable bond comprises a permanently adhesive strip. The adhesive strip is an elongated adhesive element that permanently bonds the top layer to the base layer along the first side section.

[0032] The adhesive strip absorbs the bending stress during opening and closing, forming a defined hinge line without the connection being released as intended. The adhesive strip enables a structurally simple and robust hinge function without additional mechanical hinge components.

[0033] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adhesive strip is arranged on the reverse side of the cover layer along the first side section. The hinge line is thus formed in a defined inner zone. This internal arrangement facilitates reproducible assembly and protects the hinge zone from external influences.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hinge-like connection is formed by a film hinge. A film hinge is understood to be a one-piece, flexible material zone that permanently connects two flat areas and allows repeated bending. A film hinge reduces the number of separate joining elements and provides a defined, integrated opening axis.

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base layer and the top layer are formed from a single film part that is folded in the area of ​​the film hinge. The fold zone absorbs the repeated bending movement without the need for a separate joining point between two components.

[0036] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base layer and the top layer are designed as separate film parts connected to each other via an integral hinge zone. The hinge zone enables the opening movement between the separate components with defined guidance. This design allows for flexible material selection for the base and top layers, while the hinge function remains integrated.

[0037] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the permanently adhesive layer on the back of the base layer is formed over the entire surface. "Over the entire surface" means that the adhesive layer is distributed substantially over the entire back surface. Shear and tensile loads are transferred to the substrate over a larger adhesive area, thereby reducing local stress peaks. The full-surface bond increases the long-term stability and positional accuracy of the floor anchor and helps to prevent the release forces generated when opening the three-sided adhesive bond from causing partial detachment or displacement of the base layer, so that the information carrier remains repeatedly replaceable without detaching the base layer from the substrate.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base layer is a non-transparent rigid film, in particular a white vinyl or polypropylene (PP) rigid film. Vinyl (rigid PVC) or polypropylene (PP) rigid films are dimensionally stable compared to flexible films. The white color refers to the optical appearance of the base layer. The white color of the base layer improves the readability of an inserted information carrier. The dimensional stability supports a defined adhesive surface on the front of the base layer, stabilizes the surface area of ​​the base layer, and provides a mechanically robust support structure.

[0039] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the top layer is a transparent rigid film, in particular a transparent vinyl or PP rigid film. The top layer is transparent so that the information carrier remains visible and, as a rigid film, is sufficiently robust to withstand floor stresses. The top layer transfers contact forces to the edge adhesion zones and protects the information carrier against direct impact.

[0040] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base layer and / or the top layer has a thickness of approximately 0.3 to 0.7 mm, preferably approximately 0.3 to 0.4 mm. Such a thickness simultaneously promotes sufficient flatness, so that the adhesive zones are pressed down evenly, while the hinge zone remains hingeable. The thickness supports robust handling and a stable closing geometry.

[0041] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a frame-shaped print is arranged on the front of the cover layer, defining a viewing window visible from the outside. Preferably, its dimensions correspond substantially to the dimensions of the information carrier. The term "substantially" means that the information carrier is visible in its intended state, although manufacturing and design tolerances are permissible. The frame print simplifies visual alignment during insertion and improves display quality through a defined viewing window geometry.

[0042] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the viewing window is designed to display an information carrier in DIN A4 or DIN A5 format. Other configurations are possible, preferably for other standard formats such as DIN long, 1 / 2 DIN, or 1 / 3 DIN. A standard-format information carrier can be inserted without trimming and visibly covered when closed.

[0043] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the frame imprint is arranged in a peripheral area of ​​the cover layer outside the viewing window. The frame imprint lies outside the viewing window and marks the edge area, i.e., the functional area, in which both the hinge-like connection and the adhesive zones are active. The frame imprint can visually define this area without altering the adhesive function. The visual separation between the viewing area and the functional edge area facilitates correct insertion and closing.

[0044] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the information carrier is a paper-based information carrier. The information carrier is preferably loosely placed on the front surface of the base and is covered by the closed top layer and held in place at the edges by the edge closure.

[0045] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the paper-based information carrier has a DIN A4 or DIN A5 format. The standard format facilitates orientation within the interior and supports reproducible display in the viewing window.

[0046] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bottom window comprises fixing elements for securely holding the information carrier in the interior. Fixing elements are structural elements in the interior that position the information carrier relative to the base and top layers and secure it against displacement, for example by means of stops or clamping zones. The fixing improves the display quality because the information carrier is reproducibly positioned in the viewing window.

[0047] An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. These show: Fig. 1. A representation of a closed floor window, Fig. 2 a representation of a floor window opened for the exchange of the information carrier, Fig. 3 a representation of an open floor window with an embedded information carrier, Fig. 4 the front of a cover layer in top view, Fig. 5 the reverse side of the top layer in top view, Fig. 6 the front of a base layer in top view, Fig. 7 the reverse side of the base layer in top view.

[0048] All figures do not show the invention to scale, only schematically and with its essential components. Identical reference numerals correspond to elements with the same or comparable function.

[0049] The terms "top" and "bottom", etc., refer to the intended use of the floor window.

[0050] A floor window 1 has a non-transparent base layer 4, for example a white, 0.4 mm thick rigid vinyl film, with a front side 5 and a back side 6, the back side 6 bearing a permanently adhesive layer 7 of a first adhesive regime for permanent attachment to a substrate. The floor window 1 further has a transparent cover layer 8, for example a transparent, 0.4 mm thick rigid vinyl film, which, in a closed position, covers an information carrier 2 arranged between the base layer 4 and the cover layer 8.

[0051] The cover layer 8 is hinged along a first side section 9 of its circumference by means of a non-removable connection in the form of a permanently adhesive strip 19 attached to the back 17 of the cover layer 8 and to the front 5 of the base layer 4, so that the cover layer 8 is hinged between the closed position ( Fig. 1) and an open position ( Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) is foldable.

[0052] Along three further side sections 12 of its circumference, the cover layer 8 has repositionable-removable adhesive strips 13 of a second adhesive regime, which, in the closed position, adhere to the front surface 5 of the base layer 4. The self-adhesive strips 13 are designed without adhesive, having a micro-suction cup-like microstructure on their surface facing the front surface 5 of the base layer 4. The adhesive strips 13, together with the adhesive strip 19 of the first side section 9, form a continuous, closed edge seal 14 that encloses the corner areas and closes an interior space 15 for receiving the information carrier 2. The information carrier 2 can be replaced by opening the cover layer 8 without having to detach the base layer 4 from the substrate or completely detach the cover layer 8 from the base layer 4.

[0053] The base layer 4 is the bottom-side support element, the back side 6 of which acts as a floor anchor via the permanently adhesive layer 7. The top layer 8 is the transparent cover that visibly conceals the information carrier 2. The front side 18 of the top layer 8 is provided with a frame-shaped imprint 21, which leaves a viewing window 22 for the information carrier 2. The hinge-like connection is a non-removable connection formed along one side section 9, which enables a defined opening movement. The repositionable-removable adhesive strips 13 are arranged along the three remaining side sections 12 and provide the releasable edge fastening.

[0054] All features described in the text, the following claims, and the drawings can be essential to the invention, either individually or in any combination. These features or combinations of features can each constitute an independent invention, the right to claim which is expressly reserved.
