Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for conveying information such as words and / or numbers with luminous elements forming the information, which are formed from light-collecting material and are self-luminous, and wherein the elements are arranged so that they can be changed and / or exchanged.
  • Appropriate facilities are used for advertising purposes.
  • the elements excited to fluorescence can be arranged in a grid in order to convey desired information.
  • Translucent free spaces exist between the elements, which among other things results in the disadvantage of low contrast.
  • the elements largely lose their lighting effect in strong secondary light such as daylight.
  • Corresponding devices are costly and maintenance-intensive since, in particular when using conventional lamps, they have to be replaced after a certain number of operating hours. Because of this In principle, specialist personnel are required, it must be ascertained again and again that corresponding facilities do not convey the intended information to the desired extent. In addition, considerable energy consumption can be determined, so that additional cooling devices may be required to dissipate the heat.
  • high-voltage chokes are required, which are shielded to prevent the risk of electrical accidents.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a device of the type mentioned at the outset such that high-contrast information such as words and / or numbers can be made available with simple means and that good perception of the information is ensured even when secondary light occurs.
  • the elements are arranged on or in a light-absorbing carrier plate.
  • the elements consisting of light-collecting material can either be exposed to natural light and / or the radiation from an artificial light source such as black light.
  • the elements made of light-collecting material consist of plastic such as acrylic glass with embedded fluorescent dye.
  • Corresponding elements are well known and have light-transforming properties, i.e. visible and invisible light is transformed into a visible light of a certain color depending on the fluorescent dye.
  • the elements were inserted into the carrier plate to the desired extent so that the intended information appears from the front. Since the carrier plate is made of light-absorbing material, it can be painted black, so there is an increased contrast to the elements made of light-collecting material.
  • the carrier plate is received by a frame, the front end of which is preferably spaced apart from the carrier plate.
  • the front is of course translucent and can e.g. are made of colorless plastic.
  • the free ends of the elements then pass through the carrier plate in a circumference until they abut the inside of the end face.
  • the spacing between the end face and the carrier plate also gives the advantage that the information can be seen clearly even when the device is viewed from the side.
  • the recesses can also be closed by covers made of light-absorbing material.
  • the covers themselves can be made from e.g. be made of wood elements whose cross-sections correspond to the elements made of light-collecting material. Of course, other types of cover are also possible.
  • the backing plate is preferably covered on the back by a flexible plate which has partially punched-out areas assigned to the cutouts.
  • the recess has a circular shape and the assigned area of the plate is preferably punched out 80% of the circumference of the circular shape.
  • the plate is preferably made of rubber, preferably of soot-free rubber, and is of para rubber quality.
  • the frame which is spaced apart from the support plate, has a U-shape in cross section, the upper leg being UV-transparent, provided that the elements providing the information are to be excited to glow by natural light. If an artificial light source is used, the side legs can start with a light-reflecting one starting from the support plate Material such as aluminum foil can be clad so that the light originating from the artificial light source is emitted in the direction of the inner free ends of the elements.
  • the carrier plate itself is the end face of a further U-shaped inner frame, the side parts of which run parallel to and rest on the side legs.
  • the entire device experiences high stability without the need for structurally complex measures. Rather, it is only necessary that two U-profiles are pushed into each other, the end faces should be spaced from each other, of which the interior forms the support plate for the elements.
  • the elements themselves are preferably rod-shaped, but can also have other geometries, the length of each element being at least twice its diameter. This enables optimal light conversion.
  • the elements are not introduced into cutouts in the carrier plate, but are preferably magnetically fastened thereon.
  • the carrier plate is flat and consists, for example, of sheet metal or other material on which a magnetic material adheres.
  • the areas of the elements made of light-collecting materials facing the carrier plate consequently have a layer of permanently magnetic material, which ensures that adhesion occurs in desired positions on the carrier plate. This enables the desired information to be easily arranged on the carrier plate, which can be changed quickly if necessary.
  • UV radiation in front of the front of the carrier plate, that is to say the surface on which the elements are attached emitting light source, which, however, is not immediately visible through the edges of a floor element such as floor panel.
  • a corresponding construction is extremely simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture, without the variety of the information to be conveyed or its richness in contrast having to suffer.
  • the device (10) consists of an outer frame (12) in the form of a U-profile, which is composed of the end face (14) and the side legs (16) and (18). On the back, the U-profile (12) can be closed by a rear wall (20).

  • a distance is provided between the carrier plate (22) and the inner surface of the end face (14), so that the free ends (42), (44), (46), (48) and (50) of the elements (28) to ( 36) protrude above the outer surface of the carrier plate (22). This creates the possibility that the information conveyed by the elements (28) to (36) can be grasped well even when viewed from the side.
  • the outer surface (52) is provided with light-absorbing material, ie it can be painted black.
  • the end face (14) is preferably made of a colorless plastic disc such as e.g. Acrylic glass, the distance between the carrier plate (22) and the end face (14) can be 5 mm.

  • the upper cover forming the upper side leg (16) of the frame (12) and the side part (24) extending from the carrier plate (22) is translucent, preferably UV-permeable design.
  • plastic such as acrylic glass should be mentioned as suitable materials.
  • the inner surfaces of the frame (12) or the carrier plate (22) with those side parts (24) and (26) extending from it can be coated with a light-reflecting material such as e.g. be lined with an aluminum foil in order to ensure optimal light radiation on the inner ends of the elements (28) and (36).
  • the plate element (41) which is preferably made of rubber, has in the area of the bores (40) (43) areas (45) and (47) which can be lifted out by punched-out areas and which, when the elements (28), (30), (32), (34), (36) clear the holes (40) and (43).
  • the punched-out areas (45) and (47) lie against the outer surface of the elements (28), (30), (32), (34), (36).
  • the punched-out holes assigned to the recesses are punched out Areas of the plate element (41), which preferably consists of soot-free rubber, are punched out to 80% of the circumference, which corresponds to the recesses (40), (43).
  • the punched-out areas have a high degree of inherent rigidity, which ensures that the associated recesses (40), (43) are completely covered.
  • a device (10) by means of which information is conveyed in a very simple manner, are to be given by way of example are so that the device (10) can also be referred to as an information system. It is not only used for advertising purposes, but also as a sign and the like.
  • the outer frame (12) preferably consists of a U-profile with a length of 650 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. Colorless acrylic glass is suitable as the material.
  • the depth of the side legs (16) and (18) is 150 mm.

It is not necessary for the elements (70) and (72) to be of identical design and, as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, to have a rod shape. Rather, the elements (70) and (72) can have any desired shape. So that it is possible to adhere to the carrier plate (62), at least the areas of the elements (70), (72) facing them must be provided with magnetic material in some areas.
  • An advantage of the device (60) according to FIG. 3 compared to the device (10) is that the individual elements (70) and (72) can be changed continuously with respect to the carrier plate (62). In contrast, the device (10) only offers a discrete change in the element arrangement.
