Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a display guidance means which provides opportunity for an increase in safety, by providing a wayguidance system, and also an opportunity to obtain revenue from advertising on the same which in turn makes the system more likely to be installed and hence provide safety to users.
  • a display guidance means including at least one section for receiving visual and/or tactile indicators to provide guidance to a person and characterised in that the display guidance means includes a further section for the reception and display of media to persons in the vicinity.
  • the display guidance means is an elongate rail. Reference hereonin to a display guidance rail is in a non limiting manner.
  • the rail comprises at least one extruded or fabricated or otherwise formed section that has provision to accommodate visual and or tactile markers together with an area to accommodate advertising or information media.
  • the section for receiving the media therein is provided as a whole, or in subsections, with a monetary value and the monetary value is indicative of an amount which has to be paid by third parties to the system provider to allow media in the form of adverts to be placed in that section or subsection for a period of time.
  • the media can comprise or include information media including any or any combination of instructions on how to use the guidance rail in case of an emergency or otherwise, the persons current location relative to the surroundings, directions to the nearest exit or escape route.
  • a source of illumination is provided and in one embodiment is provided in the top section of the display guidance rail.
  • illumination means could be by way of photoluminescent materials, electroluminescent lamps, light emitting diodes, tritium gas lighting devices or the like.
