[Rails] Escaping characters in links

I have the below link I am generating and type.name returns some
strings with a forward slash ("/"). This of course messes up routing.
I would like to escape it to %2F however I am unclear on how to do
that.

<%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escape(type.name)) %>

If I do the below. it gives a no route error.

<%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escapeHTML(type.name)) %>

Thanks.
