Definitions
- the main object of the present invention is primarily to provide an arrangement of the above-mentionedkind wherein the light is dispersed effectively over the whole of its display surface.
- the said object is achieved by means of an arrangement according to the present invention which is essentially characterised in that the plate has a substantially curved convex surface which has a great number of recesses made in it, for example by knurling, blasting or stamping, with light-refracting surfaces disposed extending transverse to the light entering from the direction of the plate end.
- Figure 2 shows two parallel-connected plates
- Figure 3 shows the plates in Figure 2 viewed from the direction of their curved sides
- Figure 7 shows the arrangement associated with a light-source with a rotatable casing
- Figure 8 is a cross-section through the casing and the light-source shown in Figure 7,
- a diffusor 5 which acts in a manner which is known per se can be disposed over the preferably smooth or blasted display surface 2, for the purpose of collecting the light on the front face A of the plate.
- the blasting on the surface 3 is for the same purpose.
- Figure 11 shows a plate 1 associated with a lightsource 7 and a reflector 23 which spreads the light uniformly, situated behind the light-source 7.
- a distorted image 24 such as a diapositive image, for example, which is located between the light-source 7 and the lightadmission surface 5 is shown with its correct proportions when displayed on the front face 2 of the plate.
- the shape of the projecting plate is part of the segment of a circle.
- the thickness of the plate can be increased from the index. This index is influenced by lenses, for example, (the parallelity of the incident light), the strength of the light-source and, if applicable, by different types of transparent material in the plate.
- Illuminated road signs providing compact and durable signs where the light fittings can be protected in poles, for example.
- Indicator lights and brake lights for vehicles eliminating the costly and conventional light reflectors and reducing the weight and volume of the vehicle, which is the aim of all manufacturers today.
- Instrument lighting of various kinds reducing the risk of dazzle and providing a compact unit.
- Illuminated walls, counters, ceilings, floors and shelves such as reception desks, bar counters, ceiling fittings, illuminated steps and stairs, etc.
