Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9812692A1] A sign (1) contains a plurality of self-powered light-emitting elements (5) (e.g. of tritium) which are juxtaposed to form the shape of at least one symbol (e.g. an arrow) and are contained within a housing that is adapted to be floor-mounted or mounted in a wall or the like at low-level. The elements (5) are mounted in base (2) which is sealed to a transparent lid (3) in a gas-tight manner. The base (2) and lid (3) are in turn mounted in an outer box (10) which is secured to a floor (17) to contain the sign (1) therein, substantially flush with the surface of the floor (17). The sign (1) may be used with advantage as an emergency sign or direction system at floor or low level, and does not require an electricity supply. Also disclosed is a lighting system comprising elements (5) mounted within a tube which is in turn engaged within an aluminium profile provided along its length with a recess through which the elements are visible (Figures 3 to 5).
