OFFENBARUNG DER ERFINDUNGDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION AUFGABETASK

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu überwinden. Insbesondere soll eine Vorrichtung bereitgestellt werden, die einen breite Einsatzmöglichkeit bietet und besonders ansprechend ist.The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a device is to be provided which offers a wide range of applications and is particularly appealing.

LÖSUNG DER AUFGABESOLUTION OF THE TASK

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe führen die Merkmale des Schutzanspruchs 1. Wesentliches Bestandteil des Adventskalenders ist ein runder Rahmen. Der Rahmen kann aus einem Kunststoff einer Kunststoffmischung, einem Metall, oder einer Metalllegierung bestehen.To solve the problem, the features of the protection claim 1. Essential part of the Advent calendar is a round frame. The frame may consist of a plastic of a plastic mixture, a metal, or a metal alloy.

Dieser Rahmen ist in 24 umlaufende und gleich grosse Abschnitte gegliedert. Diese 24 Abschnitte die sogenannten Leuchtkammern, stehen für die 24 Tage der Adventszeit. Diese Leuchtkammer weisen jeweils zumindest eine lichtdurchlässige Öffnung auf. Diese jeweilige Öffnungen kann mit einem Motiv versehen sein, so zum Beispiel mit einem Stern, oder anderen weihnachtlichen bzw. winterlichen Motiven. Dabei können sich die einzelnen Motive der jeweiligen Leuchtkammern wiederholen, unterschiedlichen sein, oder sich mit anderen Motiven abwechseln. Dabei kann die Öffnung selbst das Motiv sein, indem die Öffnung beispielsweise eine Sternform aufweist oder die Öffnung weist eben eine Sternform in der Art auf, dass beispielsweise auf eine kreisrunde Öffnung eine lichtundurchlässige Folie mit einer sternförmigen Ausnehmung aufgebracht ist.This frame is divided into 24 circumferential and equal sections. These 24 sections, the so-called light chambers, stand for the 24 days the Advent season. Each of these lighting chambers has at least one light-permeable opening. These respective openings may be provided with a motif, such as a star, or other Christmas or winter motifs. In this case, the individual motifs of the respective light chambers can be repeated, be different, or alternate with other subjects. In this case, the opening itself may be the motif in that the opening has a star shape, for example, or the opening has just a star shape in such a way that, for example, an opaque film with a star-shaped recess is applied to a circular opening.

Jede dieser Leuchtkammern umfasst ein eigenes Leuchtmittel, vorzugweise in Form einer oder mehrerer LEDs. Wesentlich ist, dass die Leuchtkammer seitlich lichtundurchlässig sind, so dass Licht jeweils nur in den tatsächlich beleuchteten Kammern sichtbar ist.Each of these light chambers comprises its own light source, preferably in the form of one or more LEDs. It is essential that the lighting chamber are laterally opaque, so that light is visible only in the actually illuminated chambers.

An der Innenseite des Rahmens ist eine ringförmige Beleuchtungseinrichtung angeordnet. Dieser Beleuchtungseinrichtung ist fest mit dem Rahmen verbunden und umfasst als Leuchtmittel ebenfalls LEDs. Diese ringförmige Beleuchtungseinrichtung leuchtet vorzugweise nach innen, um eine dort angeordnete Motivscheibe auszuleuchten.On the inside of the frame, an annular illumination device is arranged. This lighting device is firmly connected to the frame and also includes LEDs as light sources. This annular illumination device preferably shines inward to illuminate a motif disc arranged there.

Die Motivscheibe ist innerhalb des Rahmens und der Beleuchtungseinrichtung angeordnet. Sie kennzeichnet sich durch unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen, die das abgebildete Motive und das verwendete Material betreffen. So können zum Beispiel weihnachtliche, winterliche, oder christliche Motive, Logos von Fußball- oder anderer Sportvereine, oder alle anderen denkbar möglichen Motive abgebildet werden. Beispielsweise können auch individuelle Fotos auf eine Motivscheibe aufgeklebt werden, oder in ungedruckter Form individuell bemalt werden. Dies ermöglicht einen breiten Anwendungsbereich, der sowohl Kinder als auch Erwachsene ansprechen kann.The motif disc is arranged inside the frame and the illumination device. It is characterized by different embodiments, which relate to the depicted motifs and the material used. Thus, for example, Christmas, winter, or Christian motifs, logos of football or other sports clubs, or all other conceivable motives can be displayed. For example, individual photos can be glued to a motif disc, or individually painted in unprinted form. This allows a wide range of applications that can appeal to both children and adults.

Die Motivscheibe kann beispielsweise aus beschichteter bzw. bedruckter Pappe, aus beschichtetem oder bedrucktem Kunststoff, aus geschliffenem oder geätztem Glas oder Plexiglas, oder in ähnlicher Weise bearbeitetem Leichtmetall, wie beispielsweise Aluminium bestehen.The motif disc may consist, for example, of coated or printed cardboard, of coated or printed plastic, of ground or etched glass or Plexiglas, or similarly processed light metal, such as aluminum.

Die Abmessungen und die Ausformung der Motivscheibe sind hingegen immer gleich. Dies bringt den Vorteil, dass die Motivscheiben nach dem individuellen Geschmack eines Benutzers ausgewählt und auch ausgetauscht werden kann. Besonders vorteilhaft ist hier, dass die Motivscheibe gegen weitere Motivscheiben ausgetauscht werden kann. Dies führt zu dem Vorteil, dass je nach Geschmack des Betrachters die Motivscheibe gegen eine andere Motivscheibe mit einem anderen Motiv getauscht werden kann.The dimensions and shape of the motif disc, however, are always the same. This has the advantage that the motif discs can be selected according to the individual taste of a user and also replaced. It is particularly advantageous here that the motif disc can be exchanged for further motif discs. This leads to the advantage that, depending on the taste of the viewer, the motif disc can be exchanged for another motif disc with another motif.

Dieser Austausch wird durch eine Steckvorrichtung in Verbindung mit einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung des Rahmens ermöglicht. Der Austausch ist auf diese Weise leicht für jeden Benutzer möglich. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass unterschiedliche Motivscheiben zum Austausch und zur Abwechslung angeboten werden können, die unterschiedliche Preissegmente bedienen.This replacement is made possible by a plug-in device in conjunction with a locking device of the frame. The exchange is thus easily possible for each user. Another advantage is that different motif discs can be offered for replacement and variety, serving different price segments.

Weiterhin ist die nicht beanspruchte Benutzung des Adventskalenders auch ohne Motivscheibe möglich und auch außerhalb der Adventszeit denkbar und möglich. Dann entsteht eher der Eindruck eines Leuchtringes, Leuchtkranzes, oder beleuchteten Rahmens.Furthermore, the unclaimed use of the Advent calendar is possible without a motif disc and even outside the Advent conceivable and possible. Then the impression of a light ring, illuminated wreath, or illuminated frame rather arises.

Damit die Beleuchtung des Adventskranzes bedient werden kann ist vorzugsweise an der äußeren Seite des Rahmens eine bedienbare Schalt- und Steuerautomatik integriert.Thus, the illumination of the Advent wreath can be operated preferably on the outer side of the frame an operable switching and control integrated.

Damit ist der Benutzer in der vorteilhaften Lage die Beleuchtungssituation individuell zu steuern oder auch automatisch zu schalten. Das bedeutet, dass der Benutzer jeden Tag in der Adventszeit eine zusätzliche Leuchtkammer dazu schalten, also beleuchten kann.Thus, the user is in the advantageous position to control the lighting situation individually or switch automatically. This means that the user can turn every day in the Advent season, an additional light chamber to illuminate.

Dabei sind unterschiedliche Beleuchtungsvarianten möglich. Beispielsweise kann immer nur eine Kammer beleuchtet sein. Dies ist beispielsweise dann sinnvoll wenn die Motive die einzelnen Adventstage in Form von Zahlen von 1 bis 24 darstellen.Different lighting options are possible. For example, only one chamber at a time can be illuminated. This makes sense, for example, if the motifs represent the individual Advent days in the form of numbers from 1 to 24.

Es ist aber auch möglich, dass jeden Tag ein zusätzliche Leuchtkammer dazu beleuchtet wird. Besonders vorteilhaft ist auch die Variante, bei der automatisch jeden Tag im Advent ein zusätzliche Kammer beleuchtet wird, so dass der Benutzer nicht täglich die Schaltung bedienen muss.But it is also possible that every day an additional lighting chamber is illuminated. Particularly advantageous is the variant in which automatically every day in Advent an additional chamber is lit, so that the user does not have to operate the circuit daily.

Weiterhin ist auch die ringförmige Beleuchtungseinrichtung steuerbar. Dies bedeutet, dass insbesondere eine Dimmfunktion bzw. ein Dimmschalter in der Schalt- und Steuerautomatik umfasst ist, über den der Benutzer die Leuchtkraft der Beleuchtungseinrichtung der jeweiligen Motivscheibe und der Umgebungsbeleuchtung anpassen kann.Furthermore, the annular illumination device is controllable. This means that in particular a dimming function or a dimmer switch is included in the automatic switching and control, via which the user can adjust the luminosity of the illumination device of the respective motif disc and the ambient lighting.

Denkbar ist hier aber auch, dass unterschiedliche Blinklichtsituationen eingeschaltet werden können. So dass beispielsweise der Eindruck eines oder mehrerer umlaufender Lichtpunkte entsteht. Auch anderen Blinkfunktionen bis hin zum stroboskopähnlichen Aufleuchten ist möglich.It is also conceivable, however, that different flashing light situations can be switched on. So that, for example, the impression of one or more peripheral points of light arises. Also other flashing functions up to the strobe-like lighting is possible.

Darüber kann in weiteren Ausführungsbeispielen ein Lichtsensor, ebenfalls im Rahmen des Adventskalenders, umfasst sein, der die Beleuchtungssituation der Umgebung erfassen kann. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass sich der Adventkalender automatisch bei anbrechender Dämmerung einschaltet.In addition, in other exemplary embodiments, a light sensor, likewise within the scope of the advent calendar, can be included, which can detect the lighting situation of the surroundings. Thus, it is possible that the Advent Calendar automatically turns on at dusk.

Zudem umfasst die Schalt- und Steuerautomatik auch eine Zeitschaltuhr, so dass der Benutzer auf vorteilhafte Weise bestimmen kann, wann sich die Beleuchtung des Adventskalenders ausschalten sollen. Natürlich kann auch unabhängig vom Lichtsensor die Beleuchtung eingeschaltet werden.In addition, the switching and automatic control also includes a timer, so that the user can determine in an advantageous manner, when to turn off the lights of the Advent calendar. Of course, the lighting can also be switched on independently of the light sensor.

Ferner ist der Adventkalender mit einer Aufstell- und Aufhängvorrichtung ausgestattet. Dies bringt den Vorteil mit sich, dass der Adventskalender beispielsweise auf einem Tisch, einem Fensterbrett oder in einem Regal aufgestellt, aber auch an einer Wand aufgehängt werden kann. Weiterhin ermöglicht die Aufhängvorrichtung in Verbindung mit einer Schur auch das Aufhängen an einem Fenster, oder einer Tür.Furthermore, the Advent calendar is equipped with a mounting and suspension device. This has the advantage that the Advent calendar can be placed, for example, on a table, a window sill or on a shelf, but can also be hung on a wall. Furthermore, the suspension device in conjunction with a Schur also allows hanging on a window or a door.

Diese Flexibilität wird zudem dadurch ermöglicht, dass zur Energieversorgung sowohl Batterie als auch Netzbetrieb vorgesehen ist. Dabei können natürlich auch wieder aufladbare Akkubatterien Verwendung finden, die über den Netzbetrieb aufgeladen werden können. So ist auch ein spontaner Wechsel des Aufstellungsortes möglich, ohne an eine Stromsteckdose gebunden zu sein. Dies könnte beispielsweise in einem Wintergarten der Fall sein. Zudem verbrauchen die vorgesehenen LEDs nur sehr wenig Strom.This flexibility is also made possible by the fact that both battery and mains operation is provided for the energy supply. Of course, rechargeable rechargeable batteries can be used, which can be charged via the mains operation. Thus, a spontaneous change of the site is possible without being tied to a power outlet. This could for example be the case in a conservatory. In addition, the intended LEDs consume very little power.
