Patent ID: 8573882

Claim:
Preformed pre-bonded thermoplastic sections consisting of: a plurality of articles; said articles and sections having planar top surfaces and planar bottom surfaces that are coplanar to each other; said sections having a marking grid, a plurality of inserts and an insert pattern such that each of said inserts are separated by said grid; an adhesive backing layer on said coplanar bottom surfaces of said sections, said adhesive backing layer bridging and bonding said coplanar bottom surfaces to form intersections providing a unified pre-bonded thermoplastic signage thereby preventing dislodging or separation of said signage during handling, movement, and/or transportation before or during application of said pre-bonded signage; and wherein said articles when properly sequenced, matched, and combined together form said sections and when said sections are sequenced and matched said sections combine to form thermoplastic signage with a unified final pattern; wherein said planar top surfaces of said sections include sequential features to visibly aid in quick assembly of one or more unified final patterned thermoplastic signages; and wherein said thermoplastic sections include road marking materials, reflective materials, friction materials, and at least one visible temperature indicator that is the combination of an alphanumeric slit and sequential feature whereby heating of said marking grid to a predetermined temperature is visibly indicated to complete said unified thermoplastic signage.
