MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441016597 A) filed by Amal Jyothi College Of Engineering, Kottayam, Kerala, on March 7, 2024, for 'luminous pavement blocks having pervious frame.'
Inventor(s) include Keerthana Ranjith; and M V Varkey.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 12, under issue no. 37/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to luminous pavement blocks having pervious frame. The luminescent pavement block comprises a concrete core, and a pervious frame. The concrete core is made from cement, sand and coarse aggregates, and the ratio of cement, sand and coarse aggregates is about 1:0.75:1.5 respectively. The pervious frame is made from thermoplastic polymer such as Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) and Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). The pervious frame is made using 3D printing and has lofted circular holes. The lofted circular holes are about 2mm in diameter on the upper surface and about 4mm in diameter in the bottom surface. The concrete core comprises a coating of any luminescent material. The lofted holes allow water to seep to the ground and thereby reduces heat island effect. Due to luminescent property of the coating the visibility on the pavement at night is improved."
