Abstract
Abstract Retroreflector for the reflection of electromagnetic rays suitable for destroying, by reflection or absorption, electromagnetic radiation, which could lead to a lasting detrimental influencing of magnetic or other data carriers. The retroreflector is constructed as a flat article formed from a base layer of metallic, juxtaposed reflectors with filter coatings applied thereto formed from a suitable metallic material, and provided with top coatings on a bottom surface and a top surface of the base layer.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
228 words
A retroreflector for reflecting electromagnetic rays, said retroreflector being suitable for destroying, by reflection or absorption, electromagnetic radiation which could be detrimental to magnetic or other data carriers, said retroreflector being constructed as a flat article comprising: a base layer formed from metal in the form of a metal foil or sheet, said baselayer having juxtaposed reflectors formed therein as pyramidal point-like indentations or retractions with three boundary faces juxtaposed therein without gaps, said boundary faces forming 90° angles therebetween at engaging edges thereof, filter coatings, made from chromium, brass, silver and/or Mumetal, being applied, as a prefrabricated foil or by evaporation deposition, on the boundary faces of the juxtaposed reflectors, said filter coatings having such a thickness that is suitable for broadband filtering of X, S and VHF band waves; and top coatings applied to an upper surface and a lower surface of said base layer, said top coatings being substantially planar and made from plastic, metal or precious metal suitable for absorbing electromagnetic radiation, said top coatings being applied as prefabricated foils or by evaporation deposition, wherein, for arranging on building walls and ceilings, said flat article is formed as a surface-covering foil web in which the top coating on the lower surface is suitable for application to a wall while said top coating on said upper surface is suitable for receiving wallpaper or an emulsion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
