Definitions
- the color is in which they are perceived by the viewer, essentially the same day and night; it is determined either by the coloring of the front mirror or directly by the color of the light generated by the light source.
- a higher attention value of the neon sign could, however, be achieved if different appearances, in particular color impressions, could be caused during the day and at night.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a neon sign of the type mentioned at the beginning, that there is a more variable impression for the viewer, especially different color impressions during the day and surrender at night.
- the total area of the front mirror small divided into areas, in which the light of the light source penetrate through the front mirror can, and in those areas that the for the appearance of the day has a certain color. So that coloring layer does not disturb the appearance at night, is, as mentioned, a congruent white or silvery reflective layer covered on the inside.
- Such a structure is here under a "grid pattern” understood that in a rapport-like manner repeated on the surface so that you can see it from afar considers an approximately constant or only slightly changing brightness comes.
- small structure at the normal viewing distance between the neon sign and the eye of the beholder should these structures no longer be easily resolvable.
- By day are therefore primarily those areas of the user of the front mirror of the neon sign, which are covered with the coloring layer while the structures that are left in between cannot be recognized. So the viewer sees that entire front mirror essentially in the color of the coloring layer. At night, however, they get intermediate, exposed areas of the front mirror its meaning.
- Grid dimension means the distance the between repeating structures of the grid pattern lies. So that at the usual viewing distances remains unresolved, the grid should are on the order of a few millimeters.
- the degree of coverage of the grid pattern is about 70%.
- the "degree of coverage” is the area Portion of the front mirror to understand which is covered by the coating in the grid pattern, therefore not be penetrated by the light of the light source can.
- the front mirror and the light source can be equalized and possibly also serves a light color set. Leave particularly variable visual impressions achieve in such a case that the Lens is patterned. For example, there are interesting ones optical effects when the lens in certain strips completely or partially opaque is.
- the grid pattern can change in color coloring layer, in the geometry of the underlying geometric pattern, in the grid dimension and / or differentiate in transparency.
- FIG. 1 A light letter is shown in section in FIG. 1, whose U-shaped housing 1 consists of two side frames 2, 3 and a bottom part 4 is composed.
- the Frames 2, 3, which are white on the inside, are attached to the bottom part 4 by means of screws 5, 6.
- a neon tube 13 with neon tube return 14 In the interior of the housing 1 is below the lens 9 a neon tube 13 with neon tube return 14, and the one for feeding the neon tube 13 required electrical and electronic power supply components 15th
- the grid pattern 26 of the coating 33 will now be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- a "grid pattern” includes a relatively small structure, similar to a repeat repeated pattern understood from the usual Viewing distance no longer from the human eye can be broken down into its individual structures but from this distance as a surface of essentially represents uniform brightness.
- the coating 33 in certain areas translucent material of the front mirror 10 covers while it leaves intermediate areas free and here one unhindered passage of the inside of the housing 1 coming light allowed.
- first Layer 34 applied, which is a color Layer.
- the color of this layer 33 corresponds what the viewer of the illuminated letter as Color recognizes by day.
- a second layer 35 is applied, the color of which is white or silvery reflective.
- coloring layer 33 illuminated by daylight; the viewer sees the illuminated letter from the corresponding one Distance essentially as homogeneous, in the corresponding colored area.
- the one caused by the coloring layer 33 occurs Color impression back. Instead, shines through now the light generated by the neon tube 13 initially the lens 9; those let through this lens 9 Light components then pass through the strips 27 not covered by the coating 33, 28, 31 in the front mirror 10 to the outside. Because of the relatively small grid dimension of the grid pattern 26 the viewer feels at a corresponding minimum distance the front mirror 10 as uniform in color the lens 9 illuminating surface; the intermediate ones darker areas 29, 32 of the coating 33, 34 remain unnoticed.
- the grid pattern 26 over the entire front mirror 10 is identical. Leave it however, it also creates optical effects that in different areas of the front mirror 10 different grid patterns can be used.
- the surface of the front mirror 10 divided into different areas is different, but within uniform grid patterns are applied to the respective area are. But beautiful optical effects can be also through a continuous transition from one to achieve another grid pattern, for example by that the grid dimension and / or the area proportion, the covered by the opaque coating 33 is to be changed continuously.
