Abstract

A system for displaying a desired reflective sheeting striping pattern on a traffic management device includes providing a portable panel having reflecting sheeting affixed to a face thereof, orienting the portable panel as desired, and affixing the panel to the device using fastener holes disposed about a perimeter of the panel. The displayed striping pattern may be easily changed by removing the panel from the device, turning the panel over to display an opposing side, on which is displayed a different striping pattern, and reattaching the panel to the traffic management device so that the opposing side of the panel is displayed, or by removing the panel from the traffic management device, rotating the panel by 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees, and then reattaching the panel to the traffic management device so that the same particular striping pattern is oriented in a different direction.

Claims (13)

1. A portable reflective sheeting system for securement to a desired traffic management device, comprising:

a square panel having a first face and a second face and four substantially equal edges;

a first portion of reflective sheeting displaying a first striping pattern disposed on the first face of the panel;

a second portion of reflective sheeting displaying a second different striping pattern disposed on the second face of the panel; and

fastener holes disposed along each of the four edges of the panel, the holes being substantially evenly spaced about a perimeter of the panel;

wherein one of the first and second striping patterns comprises a plurality of stripes of alternating colors extending across the panel face;

and further wherein when said one of the first and second striping patterns is reoriented, by reorienting the panel, the plurality of stripes extend in a different direction across the panel face to denote a different traffic condition.

2. The portable reflective sheeting system as recited in claim 1 , wherein there is a fastener hole disposed at each corner of the panel, and an additional fastener hole disposed on each edge of the panel at a location substantially equidistant from the two closest corner fastener holes.

3. The portable reflective sheeting system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of stripes of said one of the first and second striping patterns extend diagonally across the panel face.

4. The portable reflective sheeting system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the panel may be secured with either the first or second face thereof facing outwardly, to thereby display a selected one of the first and second striping patterns.

5. The portable reflective sheeting system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first portion of reflective sheeting is adhered to the first face of the panel.

6. The portable reflective sheeting system as recited in claim 5 , wherein the second portion of reflective sheeting is adhered to the second face of the panel.

7. The portable reflective sheeting system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the panel may be secured with either the first or second face thereof facing outwardly, to thereby display a selected one of the first and second striping patterns.
