(under subclass 515) Subject matter wherein the reflector is attached to the road surface itself either in the form of individual reflector units fastened to the road surface or reflective paint.
(1) Note. Reflective paint, without minute transparent spheres, for highway mark-ing is classified in this subclass.
(2) Note. A reflector sign (not having a unitary plate of 3-corner reflectors or a unitary mass of discrete reflecting elements) permanently fastened to a road surface would belong in this subclass but the same reflector counterbalanced within a recess in the roadway - ordinarily up and visible, but capable of retraction into the recess when contacted by the vehicle wheel - is classified in Class 404.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
531, for a unitary plate of 3-corner retroreflectors mounted on the roadway.
539, for paint containing minute transparent spheres.
547, for a unitary mass of discrete reflecting elements mounted on or adjacent the roadway.
SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 106, Compositions: Coating or Plastic, sub-classes 228 and 253 for a natural resin or derivative containing filler, dye, or pigment.
523, Synthetic Resins or Natural Rubbers,
527, for glass DNRM nonreactive material mixed with a composition.
