[0004] An object is to widen the range of expressions by the road surface sheet. [

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The road surface sheet according to the present invention is a road surface sheet for displaying an image, and includes a first road surface display sheet for displaying a part of the image, and a sheet attached on the first road surface display sheet, the second road surface display sheet being cut out in the shape of another part of the image.

[0006] Preferably, the second road surface display sheet is thicker than the first road surface display sheet.

[0007] Preferably, a part of the second road surface display sheet protrudes outside the first road surface display sheet.

[0008] Preferably, the first road marking sheet has a portion of the image printed on a sheet with glass beads embedded in it, and the second road marking sheet is composed of multiple single-color sheets of different colors.

[0009] Furthermore, the construction method according to the present invention includes the steps of: attaching a first road marking sheet on which a part of an image is displayed to the road surface; and attaching a second road marking sheet, which is cut out in the shape of another part of the image, on top of the attached first road marking sheet. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, the range of expression using road surface sheets can be expanded. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0011] [Figure 1] This is a plan view showing an embodiment of the road surface sheet according to the present invention. [Figure 2] This figure provides a more detailed explanation of the first road surface marking sheet 10 that constitutes the road surface sheet 1 shown in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the printable road surface sheet 100 in more detail. [Figure 4] This figure provides a more detailed explanation of the second road surface marking sheet 20, which constitutes the road surface sheet 1 shown in Figure 1. [Figure 5] Figure 4(B) is a cross-sectional view of the second road marking sheet 20. [Figure 6] This is a flowchart explaining the installation method (S10) for road surface sheet 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] The configuration of embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples. Figure 1 is a plan view of the road surface sheet 1. As illustrated in Figure 1, the road surface sheet 1 has a first road surface display sheet 10 on which an image is displayed, and a second road surface display sheet 20 which is attached on top of the first road surface display sheet 10, and together they display the content image. In this example of road surface sheet 1, multiple second road surface marking sheets 20 are attached to one first road surface marking sheet 10. Some of the attached second road surface marking sheets 20 are attached in a way that a portion of them protrudes from the first road surface marking sheet 10. This overhang can be used to emphasize the 2.5-dimensional sense of depth.

[0013] Figure 2 is a diagram that provides a more detailed explanation of the first road surface marking sheet 10 that constitutes the road surface sheet 1 in Figure 1. As illustrated in Figure 2, the first road marking sheet 10 includes a printable road sheet 100 and a printed image 102 and printed text 104 printed on the printable road sheet 100. The printable road surface sheet 100 is a road surface application sheet that can be printed on its surface, and is a flexible sheet with a thickness of 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm. The printed image 102 and printed text 104 are images and text that have been directly printed onto the printable road surface sheet 100 using an inkjet printer or the like.

[0014] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the printable road surface sheet 100 shown in Figure 2 in more detail. As illustrated in Figure 3, the printable road surface sheet 100 is composed of a flexible sheet-like member (sheet portion), one of which is the printing surface for printing an image. As illustrated in Figure 3, glass beads 140 protrude from the sheet portion 120 on the surface (i.e., the printing surface) of the printable road surface sheet 100, forming protrusions. The glass beads 140 protruding from the sheet portion 120 have the function of preventing pedestrians from slipping and protecting the paint applied to the surface of the sheet portion 120 from abrasion. In addition, an adhesive layer 160 for attaching to the road surface is provided on the back surface of the road surface sheet 100 for printing.

[0015] FIG. 4 is a diagram for more detailed explanation of the second road surface display sheet 20 constituting the road surface sheet 1 of FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 4(A), the second road surface display sheet 20A is obtained by cutting out a single-color sheet 200, which is a single-color road surface sheet, into a shape corresponding to a part of the content image. In other words, a part of the content image is represented by the color and shape of the second road surface display sheet 20A. Also, as illustrated in FIG. 4(B), the second road surface display sheet 20B may be configured by combining a plurality of single-color sheets 200 having different colors from each other. The second road surface display sheet 20B in this example is one in which an orange single-color sheet 200B is incorporated into a yellow single-color sheet 200A. As illustrated in FIG. 5, an adhesive layer (not shown) is provided on the lower surface of a single-color resin layer having a thickness of 1.2 mm to 1.8 mm for each single-color sheet 200. That is, the single-color sheet 200 is a sheet thicker than the road surface sheet 100 for printing and looks more three-dimensional. Further, since the single-color sheet 200 can exhibit the same color even if its surface layer is worn by the single-color resin layer, it can be expected to maintain the color development while protecting the uppermost surface of the road surface sheet 1.

[0016] FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the construction method (S10) of the road surface sheet 1. As illustrated in FIG. 6, in step 100 (S100), an operator prints a part of the content image on the surface of the road surface sheet 100 for printing to obtain the first road surface display sheet 10. For example, the operator uses an inkjet printer to print a part of the content image on the surface (upper surface) of the printing sheet 100.

[0017] In step 105 (S105), the operator cuts out the single-color sheet 200 into a shape corresponding to another part of the content image to obtain the second road surface display sheet 20. For example, the operator cuts out a plurality of single-color sheets 200 corresponding to a part of the content image respectively. In step 110 (S110), the worker combines the cut-out single-color sheets 200 to form a multi-color second road marking sheet 20.

[0018] In step 115 (S115), the worker attaches the first road marking sheet 10 to the road surface. For example, the worker peels off the release film provided on the back (bottom) side of the first road marking sheet 10 and attaches the adhesive layer 160 to the road surface. In step 120 (S120), the worker attaches the second road marking sheet 20 to the first road marking sheet 10 which is attached to the road surface, overlapping at least a portion of it. For example, the worker peels off the release paper provided on the back of the second road marking sheet 20, places it on top of the first road marking sheet 10, and then taps the second road marking sheet 20 with a rubber hammer or the like to attach it.

[0019] As described above, the road surface sheet 1 of this embodiment enables 2.5-dimensional representation by attaching the second road surface display sheet 20 to the first road surface display sheet 10, overlapping at least a portion of it. In particular, by making the second road surface display sheet 20 thicker than the first road surface display sheet 10, the image represented on the second road surface display sheet 20 can be made to appear to be above the image printed on the first road surface display sheet 10. Furthermore, by having a portion of the second road surface display sheet 20 protrude from the first road surface display sheet 10, it becomes possible to create the effect that the image on the second road surface display sheet 20 is popping out.
