Abstract:
Provided herein is a retroreflective article comprising a retroreflective film and a plurality of isosceles triangular pyramid prisms embossed on the back surface of the retroreflective film. The prisms are configured such that the article reflects an incident light beam into two reflected light beams that are offset from and on opposite sides of the incident light beam. The two reflected light beams can provide two viewing zones located at different positions relative to the incident light beam source.

Claim (Index 25):
A retroreflective article comprising:\n a retroreflective film comprising opposing front and back surfaces; and a plurality of retroreflective elements disposed on the back surface of the retroreflective film;\n wherein each of the retroreflective elements comprises a non-equilateral triangular pyramid prism bounded by one of a first set of substantially parallel and v-shaped first grooves, one of a second set of substantially parallel and v-shaped second grooves, and one of a third set of substantially parallel and v-shaped third grooves; \n wherein each of the grooves comprises a groove axis and two intersecting groove sides; wherein each groove side of a groove forms a half angle between the groove side and a plane parallel to the groove axis of the groove and orthogonal to the back surface of the retroreflective film; wherein at least one of the half angles ranges from 25.0 degrees to 30.0 degrees; and wherein each prism is canted edge-more-parallel at a cant angle greater than 0 degrees.
