Abstract

A decorative plaque comprising, in sequence, from the outside to the inside, a semitransparent reflecting plate, a light transmitting glass plate spaced from the semi-transparent reflecting plate having a plurality of faceted glass stones affixed to one side thereof in an ornamental arrangement facing towards the reflective surface of the semi-transparent reflecting plate, and, on the opposite side of the light transmitting glass plate and spaced therefrom, a fully reflective plate. The plaque is arranged so that it is internally illuminated, for example by ambient light. Viewing of the interior of the plaque occurs through the semi-transparent reflecting plate.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dekortafel mit einer Glasplatte, auf der eine Vielzahl von facettierten Glassteinen in ornamentaler Anordnung fixiert ist. Es sind verschiedenartige Dekortafeln bekannt, u.a. auch solche, bei denen auf einer durchsichtigen Scheibe facettierte Glassteine in ornamentaler Anordnung vorgesehen sind, wie dies in der CH-PS 654 065 beschrieben ist.The invention relates to a decorative panel with a glass plate on which a plurality of faceted glass stones is fixed in an ornamental arrangement. Various decorative panels are known, including also those in which faceted glass stones are provided in an ornamental arrangement on a transparent pane, as described in CH-PS 654 065.

Es besteht jedoch ein Bedarf zur Schaffung neuer Dekortafeln, die sich durch besondere optische und ästhetische Effekte auszeichnen.However, there is a need to create new decorative panels that are characterized by special optical and aesthetic effects.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, neue Dekortafeln mit besonderen optischen und ästhetischen Effekten zu schaffen.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating new decorative panels with special optical and aesthetic effects.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß solche neue Dekortafeln dadurch geschaffen werden können, daß Glasplatten, die facettierte Glassteinchen in ornamentaler Anordnung aufweisen, mit Spiegelplatten zu Dekortafeln kombiniert werden.The invention is based on the knowledge that such new decorative panels can be created by combining glass panels which have faceted glass stones in an ornamental arrangement with mirror panels to form decorative panels.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Dekortafel mit einer Glasplatte, auf der eine Vielzahl von facettierten Glassteinen in ornamentaler Anordnung fixiert ist, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Dekortafel eine halbdurchlässige Spiegelplatte, davon im Abstand angeordnet die Glasplatte mit Glassteinen und davon im Abstand angeordnet eine Vollspiegelplatte umfaßt.The object of the invention is a decorative panel with a glass plate on which a plurality of faceted glass stones is fixed in an ornamental arrangement, which is characterized in that the decorative plate is a semi-transparent mirror plate, the glass plate with glass stones spaced apart and a full mirror plate spaced apart includes.

Die besondere optische und ästhetische Wirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Dekortafel besteht darin, daß sich die glitzernden Glassteinchen durch die Kombination von halbdurchlässigem Spiegel und Vollspiegel bis ins Unendliche vervielfältigen.The special optical and aesthetic effect of the decorative panel according to the invention is that the glittering glass stones multiply to the infinite by the combination of semi-transparent mirror and full mirror.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird die Vollspiegelplatte in einem Winkel zur halbdurchlässigen Spiegelplatte angeordnet. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß der Verdoppelungseffekt sich in Form einer Kurve darstellt.According to a preferred embodiment, the full mirror plate is arranged at an angle to the semi-transparent mirror plate. This ensures that the doubling effect takes the form of a curve.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform kommt es in Betracht, den hinteren Vollspiegel bewegbar anzuordnen, und zwar in der Weise, daß der Winkel zur halbdurchlässigen Spiegelplatte änderbar ist. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein bewegtes Bild.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist eine Schmalseite der Dekortafel so ausgestaltet, daß Licht auf die Glassteine gebracht wird, wodurch der optische Effekt gesteigert wird.According to a further preferred embodiment, it is possible to arrange the rear full mirror movably, in such a way that the angle to the semi-transparent mirror plate can be changed. This creates a moving picture.
According to a further preferred embodiment, a narrow side of the decorative panel is designed in such a way that light is brought onto the glass stones, as a result of which the optical effect is increased.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Dekortafeln eignen sich für verschiedenste Anwendungen. Sie können rein künstlerisch gestaltet sein oder als Werbeträger fungieren.The decorative panels according to the invention are suitable for a wide variety of applications. They can be designed purely artistically or act as advertising media.

Die Dekortafeln können beliebige Größe aufweisen, beispielsweise 50 x 100 mm oder 100 x 200 mm.The decorative panels can have any size, for example 50 x 100 mm or 100 x 200 mm.

Die halbdurchlässige Spiegelplatte ist eine Glasplatte mit auf der Rückseite aufgebrachtem halbdurchlässigem Spiegel, d.h. die Lichtstrahlen werden teilweise reflektiert und teilweise durchgelassen.The semi-transparent mirror plate is a glass plate with a semi-transparent mirror applied to the back, i.e. the light rays are partially reflected and partially transmitted.

Die im Abstand - der in weiten Grenzen variierbar ist - dahinter angeordnete Glasplatte mit Glassteinen weist die Glassteine in ornamentaler Anordnung auf, wobei den vielfältigen Möglichkeiten keine Grenzen gesetzt sind.The glass plate with glass stones arranged at a distance - which can be varied within wide limits - shows the glass stones in an ornamental arrangement, whereby there are no limits to the many possibilities.

Die facettierten Glassteine sind vorzugsweise geschliffene Glassteine aus Bleikristall. Die Größe kann in weiten Grenzen variieren, beispielsweise zwischen 0,3 und 10 mm. Von der Form her sind Chatons besonders geeignet, aber auch Rosen kommen in Betracht. Die Chatons werden mit der Tafel auf die Glasplatte geklebt, die dem Betrachter zugewandt sein soll. Die Steine sind vorzugsweise farblos, können aber auch - gegebenenfalls nur zum Teil - aus buntem Glas bestehen oder mit Metallschichten bedampft sein.The faceted glass stones are preferably cut glass stones made of lead crystal. The size can vary within wide limits, for example between 0.3 and 10 mm. Chatons are particularly suitable in terms of shape, but roses are also suitable. The chatons are glued to the glass plate with the blackboard, which is said to be facing the viewer. The stones are preferably colorless, but can also - if necessary only partially - consist of colored glass or be vapor-coated with metal layers.

Die Steine werden auf die Glasplatte mit durchsichtigem Klebstoff geklebt, vorzugsweise einem UV-härtendem Acrylkleber. Die Steine können auf die Vorderseite oder Rückseite der Glasplatte geklebt werden.The stones are glued to the glass plate with transparent glue, preferably a UV-curing acrylic glue. The stones can be glued to the front or back of the glass plate.

Die hintere Vollspiegelplatte ist eine übliche Spiegelplatte, wobei die Reflexionsschicht im allgemeinen eine Silberschicht ist.The rear full mirror plate is a common mirror plate, wherein the reflective layer is generally a silver layer.

Es wird bevorzugt, die einzelnen Platten zu einer geschlossenen Dekortafel zusammenzufassen, insbesondere um die Glassteine vor Verschmutzung zu schützen.It is preferred to combine the individual plates into a closed decorative panel, in particular to protect the glass stones from contamination.

Es wird bevorzugt, die Glassteine, insbesondere von der Seite her, zu beleuchten.It is preferred to illuminate the glass stones, especially from the side.

Die Vollspiegelplatte kann zur halbdurchlässigen Spiegelplatte in einem geringen Winkel, und zwar sowohl in horizontaler als auch in vertikaler Richtung, angeordnet sein, wodurch besondere optische Wirkungen erzielt werden.The full mirror plate can be arranged at a small angle to the semitransparent mirror plate, both in the horizontal and in the vertical direction, as a result of which special optical effects are achieved.

Es kommt ferner in Betracht, die Vollspiegelplatte und die genannten kleinen Winkelbereiche bewegbar anzuordnen, wodurch sich dann bewegte Bilder ergeben.It is also possible to arrange the full mirror plate and said small angular ranges to be movable, which then results in moving images.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, die eine beispielshafte Ausführungsform zeigt.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, which shows an exemplary embodiment.

Es zeigen:

Die Dekortafel ist durch einen Rahmen 8 eingefaßt.Figure 1 shows the decorative panel 1 with an ornament made of a variety of faceted glass stones 4. The decorative panel is surrounded by a frame 8.

Wie aus Figur 2 zu ersehen ist, ist dem Betrachter die halbdurchlässige Spiegelplatte 2 mit halbdurchlässiger Spiegelschicht 6 auf deren Rückseite zugewandt. Dahinter ist im Abstand die Glasplatte 3 angeordnet, auf der die Glassteine 4 fixiert sind. Dahinter ist die Vollspiegelplatte 5 mit Spiegelschicht 7 auf deren Rückseite angeordnet. Alle drei Platten sind mittels Rahmen 8 zusammengefaßt. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht eine Schmalseite oder ein Teil derselben aus Glas, damit Licht in das Innere der Dekortafel 1 eindringen kann.As can be seen from Figure 2, the viewer is the semi-transparent mirror plate 2 with semi-transparent Mirror layer 6 facing the back. The glass plate 3, on which the glass blocks 4 are fixed, is arranged at a distance behind it. The full mirror plate 5 with mirror layer 7 is arranged behind it on the rear. All three plates are summarized by means of frame 8. According to a preferred embodiment, a narrow side or part thereof is made of glass so that light can penetrate into the interior of the decorative panel 1.
