Abstract

A high intensity, plastic reflective plate is particularly useful for house numbers, vehicle license plates and road signs distance visibility. The multi-functionality of the plate system enables for a one-sided installation capability, two-sided horizontal and vertical capability installations. An enhanced distance visibility is greatly improved from different light sources including outside light of the house, street lights and vehicle lights. Installations are to be made on the front wall close to the entrance of the house, mailbox posts, road posts and the license plate positions of any vehicle. The basic reflector plate system is comprised of a high intensity plastic reflector bound or welded together with plastic PVC or ALUMINUM serving as a backing. It is also comprised of non-reflective vinyl material used for lettering and numbering.

Claims

1. The claims are as follows:

First, a high intensity, plastic, reflective plate is comprised of a plastic reflector with a PVC or ALUMINUM backing for reflection when light from any source is directed toward the plate. The plates are made in different colors, such as amber, blue, green, red, and white and in various shapes, such as one-sided, two-sided, horizontal, or vertical. The various shapes provide easy mounting. Secondly, the plate is made to conform with standard vehicle license plates with pre-pressed letters and numbers attached to the plastic reflector. Finally, following production of the plate itself, adhesive vinyl numbers are laminated onto it as house numbers. The option for a one-sided or two-sided device is appropriate for directional visibility when the plate is mounted either on the wall of a house, or on mailboxes and roads.
