Definitions

  • the invention relates to an illuminated advertising arrangement with an in particular opaque side wall, a transparent and / or translucent front panel and a connection profile for connecting the front panel to the side wall, the connection profile having a first connection area to which the front panel is fixed and a second connection area, on which the side wall is fixed, wherein the first connection area is designed as a receptacle with a first leg and a second leg, between which the front panel is received.
  • the receptacle can in particular be U-shaped or V-shaped.
  • neon signs are often used as conspicuously illuminated images, such as letters, lettering and / or logos, which are attached to walls, objects or carriers on the inside and / or outside.
  • the neon signs consist of a neon sign arrangement, which forms a correspondingly shaped housing, with a transparent or translucent front cover which is connected to a side wall of the arrangement.
  • the neon sign usually also has a rear wall connected to the side walls, so that the electronics and lighting means are located in a closed interior of the arrangement and are protected there from the weather, pollution and other environmental influences.
  • connection profile is used, which is glued to the edge area of the front panel and is therefore often referred to as an edge band.
  • KR 2016 0091713 A describes a neon sign with a side wall, a transparent front panel and a connecting area to which the front panel is attached.
  • the connection area has first and second legs, between which the front panel is received.
  • KR 101 256 802 B1 describes a neon sign arrangement with two opposing walls which have recesses. The walls and a heterogeneous part are arranged in these recesses. The heterogeneous part and the side wall together form a locking hook.
  • KR 2014 002 4991 A describes a neon sign arrangement in which a faceplate is connected to a side wall by means of an adhesive arrangement.
  • the side wall has a barb-shaped structure which is formed in one piece with the side wall.
  • the front panel is at least partially in contact with the barb-shaped structure.
  • the edge band has a contact area that rests against an outside of the front cover, or that the edge band is designed in the form of a so-called F-profile and has a groove for receiving the edge area of the front cover. In both cases it is necessary and usual to glue the edge band to the front panel or to weld it (chemically) using a solvent.
  • Front plate in the receptacle which is formed by the first leg and the second leg, the ends of the legs delimiting an inlet opening.
  • the front panel is therefore positively connected to the connecting profile and therefore to the side wall without the use of adhesives.
  • the latching hook can be arranged directly at one end of the leg, or set back somewhat in the interior of the receptacle formed by the two legs.
  • the locking hook can extend in the longitudinal direction along the entire length of the connecting profile and therefore be designed as a locking lip or only be provided at individual points of the connecting profile. If the locking hook extends over the entire length of the connecting profile, it also provides a seal and thus protection from the elements.
  • the illuminated advertising arrangement has a recess, such as a groove, in the front panel, and the latching hook of the connecting profile engages in the recess of the front panel.
  • the recess can be made in the front panel in a simple manner by means of a tool, for example it can be milled. The engagement of the locking hook creates a particularly secure connection between the connecting profile and the front panel.
  • the latching hook of the illuminated advertising arrangement is arranged like a barb.
  • the latching hook can in particular have an angle of less than 90 ° to the direction of insertion of the front panel into the receptacle.
  • the direction of insertion can in particular be predetermined by the alignment of the front panel and / or the legs and run essentially parallel to the front panel and the legs.
  • the direction of insertion points into the interior of the receptacle and therefore corresponds to the direction of movement of the front panel when it is inserted into the receptacle.
  • the direction of the locking hook is defined starting from its on the leg fixed end in the direction of the free end.
  • the angle between the latching hook and the insertion direction is therefore defined in such a way that an angle of 0 ° corresponds to a parallel arrangement and an angle of 180 ° corresponds to an anti-parallel arrangement.
  • the latching hook is therefore directed into the interior of the receptacle at an acute angle.
  • the latching hook is moved through the front panel in the direction of the insertion direction and is thus pivoted out of the area of the front panel.
  • the front panel moves in the opposite direction, as occurs when the front panel is pulled out of the receptacle, the latching hook is pivoted against the insertion direction and is thus pressed against the front panel. This prevents the front panel from being pulled out or at least makes it more difficult, and the front panel is therefore held firmly in the receptacle.
  • At least one leg of the receptacle is arranged parallel or inclined to the front panel.
  • Parallel legs ensure a particularly precise alignment of the front panel and nestle against its surfaces to save space. If, on the other hand, the or one of the legs is arranged inclined to the front panel, the legs only touch the front panel at one end and thus clamp the front panel firmly in the receptacle. At least one of the legs can also be curved so that the legs fit around the front plate in the manner of a gripper and fix it.
  • a stiffening insert in particular a metal foil, preferably an aluminum foil, is provided in the connecting profile.
  • a stiffening insert in particular a metal foil, preferably an aluminum foil, is provided in the connecting profile.
  • the stiffening insert can for example be arranged between the first and second leg and therefore ensure a stronger clamping force between the first and second leg. As a result, the front panel is held particularly firmly in the receptacle.
  • the stiffening insert extends from the first connection area to the second connection area.
  • the stiffening insert can extend through the outer leg of the first connection area into and through the second connection area.
  • the stiffening insert can be designed to be curved within the leg in order to ensure a particularly good force effect on the front panel and therefore for stable clamping of the front panel between the legs.
  • a second latching hook is provided on the second leg.
  • the holding force generated by the latching hook is therefore formed on both sides of the front panel and ensures that the front panel is held particularly securely in the receptacle.
  • a separate recess can also be provided in the front panel for each latching hook, each recess being arranged on opposite sides of the front panel.
  • the connecting profile is made at least partially from cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB).
  • CAB cellulose acetate butyrate
  • This material has a particularly high resistance to chemicals and stress cracking and is particularly suitable for technical applications, especially lights.
  • the material is extremely impact-resistant, has good transparency and a high surface gloss. In addition, it is very weather-resistant and has good electrical insulation properties.
  • the latching hook has the same material as the connecting profile and / or contains an elastic material, a slip-preventing material and / or a thermoplastic elastomer. If the latching hook is made of a different material than the rest of the connecting profile, this can be manufactured particularly easily using the co-extrusion process.
  • At least one leg is provided with a non-slip layer on its side facing the front panel. Since this leg rests against the front plate with the anti-slip layer, it is fixed in the receptacle between the two legs.
  • the anti-slip layer can have an essentially constant thickness, be jagged, round and / or formed in one piece with the latching hook and can lie flat, punctiform or along a contact line on the front panel. Depending on the place of use and the combination of materials, the shape of the anti-slip layer can be selected so that a particularly strong holding force is generated.
  • the front panel is received with its edge region, in particular with its peripheral edge, in the receptacle of the connecting profile and is connected to the side wall essentially circumferentially via the connecting profile.
  • the neon sign arrangement therefore forms a housing for a neon sign that can be easily assembled from a few parts.

The receptacle can in particular be U-shaped or V-shaped.

Zu Kennzeichnungs- oder Reklamezwecken werden häufig Leuchtreklamen als auffällig beleuchtete Abbildungen, wie Buchstaben, Schriftzüge und/oder Logos eingesetzt, die innen und/oder außen an Wänden, Gegenständen oder Trägern befestigt werden.For identification or advertising purposes, neon signs are often used as conspicuously illuminated images, such as letters, lettering and / or logos, which are attached to walls, objects or carriers on the inside and / or outside.

Die Leuchtreklamen bestehen aus einer Leuchtreklameanordnung, welche ein entsprechend geformtes Gehäuse bildet, mit einer transparenten oder transluzenten Frontabdeckung, welche mit einer Seitenwand der Anordnung verbunden ist. Üblicherweise weist die Leuchtreklame auch eine mit den Seitenwänden verbundene Rückwand auf, so dass sich Elektronik und Leuchtmittel in einem geschlossenen Innenraum der Anordnung befinden und dort vor Witterungseinflüssen, Verschmutzung und anderen Umwelteinflüssen geschützt sind.The neon signs consist of a neon sign arrangement, which forms a correspondingly shaped housing, with a transparent or translucent front cover which is connected to a side wall of the arrangement. The neon sign usually also has a rear wall connected to the side walls, so that the electronics and lighting means are located in a closed interior of the arrangement and are protected there from the weather, pollution and other environmental influences.

Zur Verbindung der Frontabdeckung mit der Seitenwand wird ein Verbindungsprofil eingesetzt, welches mit dem Randbereich der Frontplatte verklebt wird und daher oft auch als Umleimer bezeichnet wird.To connect the front cover to the side wall, a connection profile is used, which is glued to the edge area of the front panel and is therefore often referred to as an edge band.

KR 2016 0091713 A beschreibt eine Leuchtreklame mit einer Seitenwand, einer transparenten Frontplatte und einem Verbindungsbereich, an dem die Frontplatte festgelegt ist. Der Verbindungsbereich weist erste und zweite Schenkel auf, zwischen denen die Frontplatte aufgenommen ist. KR 2016 0091713 A describes a neon sign with a side wall, a transparent front panel and a connecting area to which the front panel is attached. The connection area has first and second legs, between which the front panel is received.

KR 101 256 802 B1 beschreibt eine Leuchtreklameanordnung mit zwei gegenüberliegenden Wänden, die Aussparungen aufweisen. In diesen Aussparungen sind die Wände und ein heterogenes Teil angeordnet. Das heterogene Teil und die Seitenwand bilden zusammen einen Rasthaken. KR 101 256 802 B1 describes a neon sign arrangement with two opposing walls which have recesses. The walls and a heterogeneous part are arranged in these recesses. The heterogeneous part and the side wall together form a locking hook.

KR 2014 002 4991 A beschreibt eine Leuchtreklameanordnung, bei der eine Frontplatte mittels einer Klebeanordnung mit einer Seitenwand verbunden wird. Die Seitenwand weist eine widerhakenförmige Struktur auf, die einstückig mit der Seitenwand ausgebildet ist. Dabei liegt die Frontplatte zumindest teilweise an der widerhakenförmigen Struktur an. KR 2014 002 4991 A describes a neon sign arrangement in which a faceplate is connected to a side wall by means of an adhesive arrangement. The side wall has a barb-shaped structure which is formed in one piece with the side wall. The front panel is at least partially in contact with the barb-shaped structure.

Aus der EP 2 997 565 A1 ist beispielsweise bekannt, dass der Umleimer einen Anlagebereich aufweist, der an einer Außenseite der Frontabdeckung anliegt, oder dass der Umleimer in Form eines sogenannten F-Profils ausgeführt ist und eine Nut zur Aufnahme des Randbereichs der Frontabdeckung aufweist. In beiden Fällen ist es notwendig und üblich, den Umleimer mit der Frontplatte zu verkleben oder durch Einsatz eines Lösungsmittels (chemisch) zu verschweißen.From the EP 2 997 565 A1 it is known, for example, that the edge band has a contact area that rests against an outside of the front cover, or that the edge band is designed in the form of a so-called F-profile and has a groove for receiving the edge area of the front cover. In both cases it is necessary and usual to glue the edge band to the front panel or to weld it (chemically) using a solvent.

Dies ist nachteilig, weil neben dem zusätzlichen Materialverbrauch in Form von Klebstoff noch spezielle Klebevorrichtungen benötigt werden, die eine bestimmte Menge Klebstoff gezielt auf der unteren Fläche der U- oder V-förmigen Aufnahme verteilen, sodass der Klebstoff nach Verbindung mit der Frontplatte nicht wieder auf die sichtbare Fläche der Frontplatte gedrückt wird und eine stabile und gleichmäßige Verbindung zwischen Frontplatte und Umleimer erzeugt wird. Dabei muss die mit Klebstoff versehene Fläche der Aufnahme an die gewünschte Fläche der zu verbindenden Frontplatte gedrückt werden, bis der Klebstoff ausgehärtet und die Flächen miteinander verbunden sind. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass der Umleimer entlang geschwungener und verwinkelter Konturen mit spitzen und überstumpfen Winkeln geführt werden muss, wie es bspw. bei den Buchstaben "a" oder "x" der Fall ist. Dabei muss der Umleimer an jeder Stelle der Kontur des Körpers gleichermaßen stabil an Seitenwand und Frontplatte halten und im Ergebnis ein optisch ansprechendes Bild abgeben, durch möglichst durchgängige Führung des Umleimers entlang der Kontur des Körpers, ohne Unterbrechungen durch Schnitte.This is disadvantageous because, in addition to the additional material consumption in the form of adhesive, special adhesive devices are required that distribute a certain amount of adhesive specifically on the lower surface of the U- or V-shaped receptacle so that the adhesive does not reappear after connection to the front panel the visible surface of the front panel is pressed and a stable and even connection between the front panel and the edge band is created. It must the surface of the receptacle provided with adhesive can be pressed against the desired surface of the front panel to be connected until the adhesive has hardened and the surfaces are connected to one another. To make matters worse, the edge band must be guided along curved and angled contours with acute and obtuse angles, as is the case with the letters "a" or "x", for example. The edge band must hold equally stable at every point of the contour of the body on the side wall and front panel and, as a result, give a visually appealing image, by guiding the edge band along the contour of the body as continuously as possible, without interruptions by cuts.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Leuchtreklameanordnung und eine Leuchtreklame zu schaffen, die obige Nachteile vermeidet.It is therefore the object of the present invention to create an illuminated advertising arrangement and an illuminated advertising which avoids the above disadvantages.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Leuchtreklameanordnung nach Anspruch 1, wobei an dem ersten Schenkel ein Rasthaken vorgesehen ist zur Fixierung derThe object is achieved by an illuminated advertising arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a latching hook is provided on the first leg for fixing the

Frontplatte in der Aufnahme, die durch den ersten Schenkel und den zweiten Schenkel gebildet wird, wobei die Enden der Schenkel eine Eingangsöffnung begrenzen. Die Frontplatte wird daher ohne die Verwendung von Klebstoffen formschlüssig mit dem Verbindungsprofil und daher mit der Seitenwand verbunden. Der Rasthaken kann direkt an einem Ende des Schenkels angeordnet sein, oder etwas zurückversetzt im Inneren der durch die beiden Schenkel gebildeten Aufnahme. Der Rasthaken kann sich dabei in Längsrichtung entlang der gesamten Länge des Verbindungsprofils erstrecken und daher als Rastlippe ausgeführt sein oder lediglich an einzelnen Stellen des Verbindungsprofils vorgesehen sein. Erstreckt sich der Rasthaken über die ganze Länge des Verbindungsprofils, sorgt er gleichzeitig für eine Abdichtung und damit für einen Schutz vor Witterungseinflüssen.Front plate in the receptacle, which is formed by the first leg and the second leg, the ends of the legs delimiting an inlet opening. The front panel is therefore positively connected to the connecting profile and therefore to the side wall without the use of adhesives. The latching hook can be arranged directly at one end of the leg, or set back somewhat in the interior of the receptacle formed by the two legs. The locking hook can extend in the longitudinal direction along the entire length of the connecting profile and therefore be designed as a locking lip or only be provided at individual points of the connecting profile. If the locking hook extends over the entire length of the connecting profile, it also provides a seal and thus protection from the elements.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist die Leuchtreklameanordnung in der Frontplatte eine Ausnehmung, wie beispielsweise eine Nut, auf, und der Rasthaken des Verbindungsprofils greift in die Ausnehmung der Frontplatte ein. Die Ausnehmung kann auf einfache Art und Weise mittels eines Werkzeugs in die Frontplatte eingebracht, beispielsweise gefräst, werden. Durch den Eingriff des Rasthakens wird eine besonders sichere Verbindung zwischen Verbindungsprofil und Frontplatte hergestellt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the illuminated advertising arrangement has a recess, such as a groove, in the front panel, and the latching hook of the connecting profile engages in the recess of the front panel. The recess can be made in the front panel in a simple manner by means of a tool, for example it can be milled. The engagement of the locking hook creates a particularly secure connection between the connecting profile and the front panel.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Rasthaken der Leuchtreklameanordnung widerhakenartig angeordnet. Der Rasthaken kann dazu insbesondere einen Winkel kleiner als 90° zu der Einführrichtung der Frontplatte in die Aufnahme aufweisen. Die Einführrichtung kann insbesondere durch die Ausrichtung der Frontplatte und/oder der Schenkel vorgegeben sein und im Wesentlichen parallel zu Frontplatte und den Schenkeln verlaufen. Die Einführrichtung zeigt dabei in das Innere der Aufnahme und entspricht daher der Bewegungsrichtung der Frontplatte beim Einführen in die Aufnahme. Die Richtung des Rasthakens ist definiert ausgehend von seinem an dem Schenkel festgelegten Ende in Richtung des freien Endes. Der Winkel zwischen Rasthaken und Einführrichtung ist daher derart definiert, dass einer parallelen Anordnung ein Winkel von 0° und einer antiparallelen Anordnung ein Winkel von 180° entspricht. Der Rasthaken ist daher mit einem spitzen Winkel in das Innere der Aufnahme gerichtet. Beim Einführen der Frontplatte in die Aufnahme wird der Rasthaken durch die Frontplatte in Richtung der Einführrichtung bewegt und so aus dem Bereich der Frontplatte herausgeschwenkt. Bei einer entgegengesetzten Bewegung der Frontplatte, wie diese beim Herausziehen der Frontplatte aus der Aufnahme auftritt, wird der Rasthaken entgegen der Einführrichtung verschwenkt und so gegen die Frontplatte gedrückt. Das Herausziehen der Frontplatte wird dadurch unterbunden oder zumindest erschwert und die Frontplatte daher fest in der Aufnahme gehalten.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the latching hook of the illuminated advertising arrangement is arranged like a barb. For this purpose, the latching hook can in particular have an angle of less than 90 ° to the direction of insertion of the front panel into the receptacle. The direction of insertion can in particular be predetermined by the alignment of the front panel and / or the legs and run essentially parallel to the front panel and the legs. The direction of insertion points into the interior of the receptacle and therefore corresponds to the direction of movement of the front panel when it is inserted into the receptacle. The direction of the locking hook is defined starting from its on the leg fixed end in the direction of the free end. The angle between the latching hook and the insertion direction is therefore defined in such a way that an angle of 0 ° corresponds to a parallel arrangement and an angle of 180 ° corresponds to an anti-parallel arrangement. The latching hook is therefore directed into the interior of the receptacle at an acute angle. When the front panel is inserted into the receptacle, the latching hook is moved through the front panel in the direction of the insertion direction and is thus pivoted out of the area of the front panel. When the front panel moves in the opposite direction, as occurs when the front panel is pulled out of the receptacle, the latching hook is pivoted against the insertion direction and is thus pressed against the front panel. This prevents the front panel from being pulled out or at least makes it more difficult, and the front panel is therefore held firmly in the receptacle.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist zumindest ein Schenkel der Aufnahme parallel oder geneigt zur Frontplatte angeordnet. Parallele Schenkel sorgen für eine besonders genaue Ausrichtung der Frontplatte und schmiegen sich platzsparend an deren Oberflächen an. Sind die oder einer der Schenkel hingegen geneigt zur Frontplatte angeordnet, berühren die Schenkel die Frontplatte nur an einem Ende und klemmen so die Frontplatte in der Aufnahme fest. Zumindest einer der Schenkel kann auch gebogen ausgeführt sein, sodass sich die Schenkel in der Art eines Greifers um die Frontplatte fügen und diese fixieren.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one leg of the receptacle is arranged parallel or inclined to the front panel. Parallel legs ensure a particularly precise alignment of the front panel and nestle against its surfaces to save space. If, on the other hand, the or one of the legs is arranged inclined to the front panel, the legs only touch the front panel at one end and thus clamp the front panel firmly in the receptacle. At least one of the legs can also be curved so that the legs fit around the front plate in the manner of a gripper and fix it.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in dem Verbindungsprofil eine Versteifungseinlage, insbesondere eine Metallfolie, bevorzugt eine Aluminiumfolie, vorgesehen. Diese sorgt für ein stabileres Verbindungsprofil und verhindert oder begrenzt eine thermisch verursachte Dimensionsänderung des Verbindungsprofils, zu welcher es sonst bspw. durch die Abwärme eines Leuchtmittels beim Betrieb der Leuchtreklame kommen kann. Die Versteifungseinlage kann beispielsweise zwischen erstem und zweitem Schenkel angeordnet sein und daher für eine stärkere Klemmkraft zwischen erstem und zweitem Schenkel sorgen. Die Frontplatte wird dadurch besonders fest in der Aufnahme gehalten.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a stiffening insert, in particular a metal foil, preferably an aluminum foil, is provided in the connecting profile. This ensures a more stable connection profile and prevents or limits a thermally caused dimensional change in the connection profile, which can otherwise occur, for example, due to the waste heat from a light source when operating the neon sign. The stiffening insert can for example be arranged between the first and second leg and therefore ensure a stronger clamping force between the first and second leg. As a result, the front panel is held particularly firmly in the receptacle.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung erstreckt sich die Versteifungseinlage von dem ersten Verbindungsbereich bis zu dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich. Insbesondere kann sich die Versteifungseinlage durch den äußeren Schenkel des ersten Verbindungsbereichs bis in den und durch den zweiten Verbindungsbereich erstrecken. Die Versteifungseinlage kann innerhalb des Schenkels gebogen ausgeführt sein, um für eine besonders gute Kraftwirkung auf die Frontplatte und daher für eine stabile Verklemmung der Frontplatte zwischen den Schenkeln zu sorgen.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the stiffening insert extends from the first connection area to the second connection area. In particular, the stiffening insert can extend through the outer leg of the first connection area into and through the second connection area. The stiffening insert can be designed to be curved within the leg in order to ensure a particularly good force effect on the front panel and therefore for stable clamping of the front panel between the legs.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist an dem zweiten Schenkel ein zweiter Rasthaken vorgesehen. Die durch den Rasthaken erzeugte Haltekraft wird daher auf beiden Seiten der Frontplatte gebildet und sorgt für besonders sicheren Halt der Frontplatte in der Aufnahme. Insbesondere kann in der Frontplatte auch für jeden Rasthaken eine eigene Ausnehmung vorgesehen sein, die jeweils auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Frontplatte angeordnet sind.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a second latching hook is provided on the second leg. The holding force generated by the latching hook is therefore formed on both sides of the front panel and ensures that the front panel is held particularly securely in the receptacle. In particular, a separate recess can also be provided in the front panel for each latching hook, each recess being arranged on opposite sides of the front panel.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Verbindungsprofil zumindest teilweise aus Celluloseacetatbutyrat (CAB) gefertigt. Dieses Material weist eine besonders hohe Chemikalien- und Spannungsrissbeständigkeit auf und ist besonders geeignet für technische Anwendungen, insbesondere Leuchten. Das Material ist äußerst schlagzäh, hat eine gute Transparenz und einen hohen Oberflächenglanz. Darüber hinaus ist es sehr witterungsbeständig und besitzt gute elektrische Isolationseigenschaften.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the connecting profile is made at least partially from cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB). This material has a particularly high resistance to chemicals and stress cracking and is particularly suitable for technical applications, especially lights. The material is extremely impact-resistant, has good transparency and a high surface gloss. In addition, it is very weather-resistant and has good electrical insulation properties.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Rasthaken das gleiche Material wie das Verbindungsprofil auf und/oder enthält ein elastisches Material, ein gleithinderndes Material und/oder ein thermoplastisches Elastomer. Besteht der Rasthaken aus einem anderen Material als der Rest des Verbindungsprofils, kann dieses besonders einfach im Co-Extrusionsverfahren gefertigt werden.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the latching hook has the same material as the connecting profile and / or contains an elastic material, a slip-preventing material and / or a thermoplastic elastomer. If the latching hook is made of a different material than the rest of the connecting profile, this can be manufactured particularly easily using the co-extrusion process.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist zumindest ein Schenkel an seiner der Frontplatte zugewandten Seite mit einer gleithindernden Schicht versehen. Da dieser Schenkel mit der gleithindernden Schicht an der Frontplatte anliegt, wird diese in der Aufnahme zwischen den beiden Schenkeln fixiert. Insbesondere wenn Schenkel und Rasthaken derart angeordnet sind, dass die Frontplatte gegen die gleithindernde Schicht gedrückt wird, wird eine sehr hohe Haltekraft erzeugt und die Frontplatte sicher gehalten. Die gleithindernde Schicht kann eine im Wesentlichen konstante Dicke aufweisen, gezackt sein, rund und/oder einstückig mit dem Rasthaken ausgeformt sein und kann flächig, punktuell oder entlang einer Kontaktlinie an der Frontplatte anliegen. Je nach Einsatzort und Materialkombination kann die Form der gleithindernden Schicht so gewählt werden, dass eine besonders starke Haltekraft erzeugt wird.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one leg is provided with a non-slip layer on its side facing the front panel. Since this leg rests against the front plate with the anti-slip layer, it is fixed in the receptacle between the two legs. In particular, when the legs and latching hooks are arranged in such a way that the front panel is pressed against the anti-slip layer, a very high holding force is generated and the front panel is held securely. The anti-slip layer can have an essentially constant thickness, be jagged, round and / or formed in one piece with the latching hook and can lie flat, punctiform or along a contact line on the front panel. Depending on the place of use and the combination of materials, the shape of the anti-slip layer can be selected so that a particularly strong holding force is generated.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Frontplatte mit ihrem Randbereich, insbesondere mit ihrer Umfangskante, in der Aufnahme des Verbindungsprofils aufgenommen und über das Verbindungsprofil im Wesentlichen umlaufend mit der Seitenwand verbunden. Die Leuchtreklameanordnung bildet daher ein einfach aus wenigen Teilen zusammenbaubares Gehäuse für eine Leuchtreklame.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the front panel is received with its edge region, in particular with its peripheral edge, in the receptacle of the connecting profile and is connected to the side wall essentially circumferentially via the connecting profile. The neon sign arrangement therefore forms a housing for a neon sign that can be easily assembled from a few parts.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Seitenwand an dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich durch Verkleben, mittels eines doppelseitigen Klebebands, mittels eines Magnetklebebands, durch chemisches Verschweißen, durch Verrasten, Verschrauben oder Vernieten festgelegt. Je nach Einsatzort kann für die Verbindung zwischen Verbindungsprofil und Seitenwand eine passende Verbindungstechnik ausgewählt werden.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the side wall is attached to the second connection area by gluing, by means of a double-sided adhesive tape, by means of a magnetic adhesive tape, by chemical means Welding, fixed by locking, screwing or riveting. Depending on the location, a suitable connection technology can be selected for the connection between the connection profile and the side wall.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Seitenwand an dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich verrastet, indem ein Haken des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs in eine Verkantung oder Nase der Seitenwand eingreift. Eine solche mechanische Verbindung ist einfach herzustellen und insbesondere reversibel. Frontwand und Seitenwand können daher zu Reparaturzwecken einfach wieder voneinander gelöst werden.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the side wall is latched to the second connection area in that a hook of the second connection area engages in a cant or nose of the side wall. Such a mechanical connection is easy to produce and, in particular, is reversible. The front wall and side wall can therefore easily be detached from one another for repair purposes.

In einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der zweite Verbindungsbereich als Aufnahme mit einem ersten Schenkel und einem zweiten Schenkel ausgeführt, zwischen denen die Seitenwand aufgenommen ist. An dem ersten Schenkel und/oder an dem zweiten Schenkel des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs ist ein Rasthaken zur Fixierung der Seitenwand vorgesehen. Der zweite Verbindungsbereich kann daher im Wesentlichen wie vorstehend für den ersten Verbindungsbereich beschrieben ausgeführt sein.In a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the second connection area is designed as a receptacle with a first leg and a second leg, between which the side wall is received. A latching hook for fixing the side wall is provided on the first leg and / or on the second leg of the second connection area. The second connection area can therefore be designed essentially as described above for the first connection area.

Die Erfindung wird außerdem gelöst durch eine Leuchtreklame aufweisend eine vorstehend beschriebene Leuchtreklameanordnung, eine Rückwand, die mit der Seitenwand der Leuchtreklameanordnung verbunden ist, wobei Frontplatte, Seitenwand und Rückwand einen im Wesentlichen geschlossenen Innenraum bilden, und eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung, die in dem Innenraum angeordnet ist. Diese kann in Richtung der Frontplatte, der Seitenwand und/oder der Rückwand gerichtet sein.The invention is also achieved by a neon sign having a neon sign arrangement described above, a rear wall which is connected to the side wall of the neon sign arrangement, the front panel, side wall and rear wall forming a substantially closed interior space, and a lighting device which is arranged in the interior space. This can be directed in the direction of the front panel, the side wall and / or the rear wall.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen und unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren erläutert. Dabei bilden alle beschriebenen und/oder bildlich dargestellten Merkmale für sich oder in beliebiger Kombination den Gegenstand der Erfindung, auch unabhängig von ihrer Zusammenfassung in den Ansprüchen oder deren Rückbezügen.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Leuchtreklameanordnung 1 in der Form des Buchstabens "L" in einer Draufsicht dargestellt. Diese weist eine L-förmige Frontplatte 2 sowie eine Seitenwand 3 auf, welche umlaufend um die Frontplatte 2 an deren Außenkante angeordnet und mit dieser verbunden ist.In Fig. 1 a neon sign arrangement 1 is shown in the form of the letter "L" in a plan view. This has an L-shaped front panel 2 and a side wall 3, which is arranged circumferentially around the front panel 2 at its outer edge and is connected to it.

Eine Schnittdarstellung der Leuchtreklameanordnung der Fig. 1 entlang der Linie A - A ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Die Frontplatte 2 ist an ihren beiden gegenüberliegenden Außenkanten jeweils mittels eines Verbindungsprofils 4a mit dem jeweiligen Bereich der Seitenwand 3 verbunden.A sectional view of the neon sign arrangement of Fig. 1 along the line A - A is in Fig. 2 shown. The front panel 2 is connected to the respective area of the side wall 3 at its two opposite outer edges by means of a connecting profile 4a.

Die Details der Verbindung lassen sich dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten, vergrößerten Ausschnitt B entnehmen. Die Frontplatte 2 ist mit ihrer Außenkante in einer Aufnahme 26 aufgenommen, die den ersten Verbindungsbereich 5 des Verbindungsprofils 4a bildet. Die Aufnahme 26 weist im Wesentlichen zwei Schenkel 6a, 7a auf, wobei die Enden der Schenkel 6a, 7a eine Eingangsöffnung zum Einführen der Außenkante der Frontplatte 2 in die Aufnahme 26 begrenzen. Die Frontplatte 2 ist zwischen den Schenkeln 6a, 7a aufgenommen. Die Frontplatte 2 besitzt eine Ausnehmung 9, welche als einfache Nut ausgeführt ist, und in die ein Rasthaken 8a des Verbindungsprofils 4a eingreift. Der Rasthaken 8a ist widerhakenartig an einem ersten Schenkel 6a angeordnet und in Richtung der Einführrichtung der Frontplatte 2 in das Innere der Aufnahme 26 gerichtet. Zwischen einer in Fig. 3 gestrichelt dargestellten Ebene, welche die Einführrichtung zeigt und parallel zu der Frontplatte 2 verläuft, und einer in Fig. 3 punktiert dargestellten Rasthakenebene, welche die Richtung des Rasthakens zeigt, ist ein Winkel α kleiner als 90° eingeschlossen. Der betrachtete Winkel liegt zwischen der Einführrichtung der Frontplatte und der Richtung des Rasthakens vom festen Ende zum freien Ende, sodass einer parallelen Anordnung ein Winkel von 0° und einer antiparallelen Anordnung ein Winkel von 180° entspricht.The details of the connection can be found in Fig. 3 the enlarged section B shown. The front panel 2 is received with its outer edge in a receptacle 26 which forms the first connection area 5 of the connection profile 4a. The receptacle 26 essentially has two legs 6a, 7a, the ends of the legs 6a, 7a delimiting an inlet opening for inserting the outer edge of the front panel 2 into the receptacle 26. The front plate 2 is received between the legs 6a, 7a. The front plate 2 has a recess 9, which is designed as a simple groove, and into which a latching hook 8a of the connecting profile 4a engages. The latching hook 8a is arranged like a barb on a first leg 6a and is directed in the direction of the insertion direction of the front panel 2 into the interior of the receptacle 26. Between an in Fig. 3 The plane shown in dashed lines, which shows the direction of insertion and runs parallel to the front panel 2, and one in FIG Fig. 3 The locking hook plane shown in dotted lines, which shows the direction of the locking hook, includes an angle α smaller than 90 °. The angle under consideration lies between the direction of insertion of the front panel and the direction of the locking hook from the fixed end to the free end, so that an angle of 0 ° corresponds to a parallel arrangement and an angle of 180 ° to an anti-parallel arrangement.

Beim Einführen der Frontplatte 2 in die aus Schenkel 6a und Schenkel 7a gebildete Aufnahme 26 drückt die Frontplatte 2 gegen den Rasthaken 8a, wodurch dieser in Richtung des Schenkels 6a wegfedert und so den Raum freigibt, sodass die Frontplatte 2 in die Aufnahme 26 eingeführt werden kann. Sobald die Frontplatte 2 ganz in der Aufnahme 26 aufgenommen ist, kann der Rasthaken 8a in die Ausnehmung 9 der Frontplatte 2 zurückfedern, wodurch die Frontplatte 2 sicher in der Aufnahme 26 gehalten wird. An dem zweiten Schenkel 7a ist, an dessen der Frontplatte 2 zugewandten Seite, eine gleithindernde Schicht 10 vorgesehen, die an der Frontplatte anliegt und so ein Verschieben der Frontplatte 2 verhindert. Rasthaken 8a und erster Schenkel 6a sind derart angeordnet, dass sie die Frontplatte 2 gegen den zweiten Schenkel 7a und damit gegen die gleithindernde Schicht 10 drücken, sodass eine besonders gute Haltekraft erzeugt wird.When the front panel 2 is inserted into the receptacle 26 formed from the legs 6a and 7a, the front panel 2 presses against the latching hook 8a, whereby the latter springs away in the direction of the leg 6a and thus releases the space so that the front panel 2 can be inserted into the receptacle 26 . As soon as the front panel 2 is completely received in the receptacle 26, the latching hook 8 a can spring back into the recess 9 of the front panel 2, as a result of which the front panel 2 is securely held in the receptacle 26. On the second leg 7a, on its side facing the front panel 2, a slide-preventing layer 10 is provided, which rests against the front panel and thus prevents the front panel 2 from being displaced. Latching hooks 8a and first leg 6a are arranged in such a way that they press the front plate 2 against the second leg 7a and thus against the anti-slip layer 10, so that a particularly good holding force is generated.

Fig. 4 zeigt das Verbindungsprofil 4a der in Fig. 3 dargestellten ersten Ausführungsform vollständig im Querschnitt. Senkrecht zur Zeichenebene erstreckt sich das Verbindungsprofil 4a im Wesentlichen konstant mit dem dargestellten Querschnitt. Neben den beiden Schenkeln 6a, 7a, die die Aufnahme 26 für die Frontplatte 2 bilden, weist das Verbindungsprofil 4a noch einen zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 auf, sodass das Verbindungsprofil 4a eine im Wesentlichen F-förmige Ausgestaltung besitzt. Der zweite Verbindungsbereich 12 wird, wie in Fig. 3 angedeutet, mit der Seitenwand 3 verbunden. Fig. 4 shows the connection profile 4a of FIG Fig. 3 illustrated first embodiment completely in cross section. The connecting profile 4a extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing essentially constant with the illustrated cross section. In addition to the two legs 6a, 7a, which form the receptacle 26 for the front panel 2, the connection profile 4a also has a second connection area 12, so that the connection profile 4a has an essentially F-shaped configuration. The second connection area 12 is, as in FIG Fig. 3 indicated, connected to the side wall 3.

Innerhalb des Verbindungsprofils 4a ist eine Versteifungseinlage 11 vorgesehen, welche bevorzugt als Aluminiumfolie ausgebildet ist. Diese verläuft innerhalb des Verbindungsprofils 4a einstückig durch den zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 bis zu dem ersten Verbindungsbereich 5 in den ersten Schenkel 6a. Der erste Schenkel 6a und die darin angeordnete Versteifungseinlage 11 haben eine gekrümmte Struktur, sodass der erste Schenkel 6a mit der Versteifungseinlage 11 eine Federkraft gegen die Frontplatte 2 und damit gegen den zweiten Schenkel 7a ausübt. Durch die einstückige Verbindung der Versteifungseinlage 11 zwischen erstem Verbindungsbereich 5 und dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 wird der erste Verbindungsbereich 5 gegen den zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 versteift und so verhindert, dass eine Verbiegung des Verbindungsprofils 4a zu einer Bewegung zwischen Frontplatte 2 und Seitenwand 3 führen kann.A stiffening insert 11, which is preferably designed as an aluminum foil, is provided within the connecting profile 4a. This runs in one piece within the connection profile 4a through the second connection area 12 to the first connection area 5 in the first leg 6a. The first leg 6a and the stiffening insert 11 arranged therein have a curved structure, so that the first leg 6a with the stiffening insert 11 exerts a spring force against the front plate 2 and thus against the second leg 7a. Due to the one-piece connection of the stiffening insert 11 between the first connection area 5 and the second connection area 12, the first connection area 5 is stiffened against the second connection area 12 and thus prevents a bending of the connection profile 4a from causing a movement between the front panel 2 and the side wall 3.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist der erste, den Rasthaken 8a tragende Schenkel 6a des ersten Verbindungsbereichs 5 der an der Außenseite der Frontplatte 2 der Leuchtreklameanordnung anliegende Schenkel. Es versteht sich, dass der Rasthaken 8a im Rahmen der Erfindung umgekehrt auch an dem an der Innenseite der Frontplatte 2 anliegenden Schenkel des ersten Verbindungsbereichs 5 angeordnet sein kann. Dasselbe gilt entsprechend für sämtliche weiteren Ausführungsformen gemäß den Figuren 5 bis 7 und 9 bis 16. Ein Beispiel einer derartigen Ausführungsform mit innen liegendem ersten Schenkel 6e ist in Fig. 8 dargestellt.In the Figures 3 and 4th the first leg 6a of the first connecting area 5 carrying the latching hook 8a is the leg resting on the outside of the front panel 2 of the illuminated advertising arrangement. It goes without saying that, within the scope of the invention, the latching hook 8a can, conversely, also be arranged on the leg of the first connection region 5 resting against the inside of the front panel 2. The same applies accordingly to all further embodiments according to FIGS Figures 5 to 7 and 9 to 16 . An example of such an embodiment with an inner first leg 6e is shown in FIG Fig. 8 shown.

Die in Fig. 5 dargestellte zweite Ausführungsform eines Verbindungsprofils 4b entspricht im Wesentlichen der in Fig. 4 dargestellten ersten Ausführungsform, weist jedoch keine gleithindernde Schicht 10 an dem zweiten Schenkel 7b auf. Der erste Schenkel 6b und der Rasthaken 8b entsprechen dem ersten Schenkel 6a und dem Rasthaken 8a der ersten Ausführungsform. Alleine durch den Rasthaken 8b, welcher in die Ausnehmung 9 der Frontplatte 2 eingreift, wird bereits eine ausreichende Haltekraft erzeugt, um die Frontplatte 2 in der Aufnahme 26 zu fixieren. Es kann jedoch auch das gesamte Verbindungsprofil 4b aus einem Material mit gleithindernden Eigenschaften gefertigt sein.In the Fig. 5 The illustrated second embodiment of a connecting profile 4b essentially corresponds to that in FIG Fig. 4 illustrated first embodiment, but has no anti-slip layer 10 on the second leg 7b. The first leg 6b and the locking hook 8b correspond to the first leg 6a and the locking hook 8a of the first embodiment. The latching hook 8b alone, which engages in the recess 9 of the front panel 2, already generates a sufficient holding force to fix the front panel 2 in the receptacle 26. However, the entire connecting profile 4b can also be made from a material with anti-slip properties.

Ein Verbindungsprofil 4c einer dritten Ausführungsform ist in Fig. 6 dargestellt und entspricht im Wesentlichen ebenfalls der ersten Ausführungsform der Fig. 4. Der Rasthaken 8c ist jedoch nicht aus dem gleichen Material wie das restliche Verbindungsprofil 4c aufgebaut, sondern besteht aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material, welches bevorzugt weicher ist als das Material des restlichen Verbindungsprofils und/oder gleithindernde Eigenschaften aufweist. Der Rasthaken 8c hat in seinem mittleren Bereich eine Verjüngung, sodass sich dieser beim Einführen der Frontplatte 2 in die Aufnahme 26 des ersten Verbindungsbereichs 5 leicht aus dem Weg bewegen kann. An seinem freien Ende hat der Rasthaken 8c eine Verbreiterung, die in die Ausnehmung 9 oder Nut der Frontplatte 2 eingreift. Die Frontplatte 2 wird daher dreifach in der Aufnahme 26 des Verbindungsprofils 4c gehalten. Der Rasthaken 8c greift formschlüssig in die Ausnehmung 9 der Frontplatte 2 ein, der Rasthaken 8c liegt in der Ausnehmung 9 der Frontplatte 2 mit seinem gleithindernden Material an und sorgt so für einen Reibschluss, und die Frontplatte 2 liegt an einer gleithindernden Schicht 10 am zweiten Schenkel 7c des Verbindungsprofils 4c an und wird daher dort ebenfalls durch einen Reibschluss gehalten. Der Rasthaken ist im Bereich einer Hinterschneidung an dem Schenkel 6c festgelegt. Beim Lösen der Verbindung zwischen der Frontplatte 2 und dem Verbindungsprofil 4c wird der Rasthaken 8c deformiert, wobei sich sein freies Ende an das Ende des Schenkels 6c anlegt, so dass die zwischen den Enden der Schenkel 6c und 7c gebildete Eingangsöffnung teilweise blockiert wird, wodurch eine vollständige Entfernung der Frontplatte aus der Aufnahme 26 deutlich erschwert wird.A connection profile 4c of a third embodiment is shown in FIG Fig. 6 shown and essentially also corresponds to the first embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 . The latching hook 8c, however, is not made of the same material as the rest of the connecting profile 4c, but consists of an elastically deformable material which is preferably softer than the material of the remaining connecting profile and / or has anti-slip properties. The locking hook 8c has a taper in its central area, so that it can easily move out of the way when the front panel 2 is inserted into the receptacle 26 of the first connection area 5. At its free end, the locking hook 8c has a widening which engages in the recess 9 or groove in the front panel 2. The front panel 2 is therefore held three times in the receptacle 26 of the connecting profile 4c. The locking hook 8c engages positively in the recess 9 of the front panel 2, the locking hook 8c rests in the recess 9 of the front panel 2 with its slip-preventing material and thus ensures a frictional connection, and the front panel 2 rests on a slip-preventing layer 10 on the second leg 7c of the connecting profile 4c and is therefore also held there by a frictional connection. The latching hook is fixed in the area of an undercut on the leg 6c. When the connection between the front panel 2 and the connecting profile 4c is loosened, the latching hook 8c is deformed, its free end resting against the end of the leg 6c, so that the inlet opening formed between the ends of the legs 6c and 7c is partially blocked, whereby a complete removal of the front plate from the receptacle 26 is made significantly more difficult.

Ein Verbindungsprofil 4d einer vierten Ausführungsform ist in Fig. 7 dargestellt und entspricht im Wesentlichen der ersten Ausführungsform der Fig. 4, weist jedoch einen Rasthaken 8d auf, der als Doppelrasthaken ausgeführt ist. Dieser weist einen ersten Rasthakenteil und einen zweiten Rasthakenteil auf, welcher von der Eingangsöffnung der Aufnahme 26 weiter beabstandet und bevorzugt größer ist als der erste Rasthakenteil. Der Doppelrasthaken ist zudem einstückig mit einer gleithindernden Schicht 15 an dem ersten Schenkel 6d ausgebildet. Die Frontplatte 2 weist keine Ausnehmung oder Nut auf, in die der Doppelrasthaken 8d eingreifen könnte. Stattdessen liegt der Doppelrasthaken mit beiden Teilen an der Oberfläche der Frontplatte an, wodurch die Frontplatte 2 reibschlüssig in der Aufnahme 26 gehalten wird. Durch die Kombination des Doppelrasthakens 8d mit der gleithindernden Schicht 15 am ersten Schenkel 6d und der gleithindernden Schicht 10 an dem zweiten Schenkel 7d wird sichergestellt, dass die Frontplatte 2 in dem Verbindungsprofil 4d gehalten wird. Abweichend von der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 7 kann auch im Fall eines Doppelrasthakens eine Nut 9 in der Frontplatte 2 vorgesehen sein.A connection profile 4d of a fourth embodiment is shown in FIG Fig. 7 and corresponds essentially to the first embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 , however, has a locking hook 8d which is designed as a double locking hook. This has a first locking hook part and a second locking hook part which is further spaced from the inlet opening of the receptacle 26 and is preferably larger than the first locking hook part. The double locking hook is also in one piece formed with a slip-preventing layer 15 on the first leg 6d. The front plate 2 has no recess or groove into which the double latching hook 8d could engage. Instead, the double locking hook rests with both parts on the surface of the front panel, whereby the front panel 2 is held in the receptacle 26 with a friction fit. The combination of the double locking hook 8d with the anti-slip layer 15 on the first leg 6d and the anti-slip layer 10 on the second leg 7d ensures that the front panel 2 is held in the connecting profile 4d. Notwithstanding the embodiment according to Fig. 7 A groove 9 can also be provided in the front panel 2 in the case of a double snap hook.

Ein weiteres Verbindungsprofil 4e einer fünften Ausführungsform ist in Fig. 8 dargestellt und entspricht im Wesentlichen der ersten Ausführungsform der Fig. 4, weist jedoch einen ersten Schenkel 6e mit Rasthaken 8e auf, der einen inneren Schenkel 6e an der dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 zugewandten Seite der Aufnahme 26 bildet. Der zweite Schenkel 7e ist an der Außenseite des Verbindungsprofils 4e auf der dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 abgewandten Seite der Aufnahme 26 angeordnet und weist an seiner der Frontplatte 2 zugewandten Seite eine gleithindernde Schicht 10 auf. Der Rasthaken 8e ist aus einem gleithindernden Material gefertigt und ist einstückig mit einer Schicht 15 an dem ersten Schenkel 6e verbunden. An der Verbindungsstelle zwischen Rasthaken 8e und Schicht 15 ist eine Verjüngung ausgeformt, sodass der Rasthaken 8e beim Einführen der Frontplatte 2 einfach verschwenkt werden kann. Der Rasthaken 8e weist auf der der Frontplatte 2 zugewandten Seite eine im Wesentlichen ebene Fläche auf, die bei eingesetzter Frontplatte 2 flach an dieser anliegt. Auf der der Frontplatte abgewandten Seite weist der Rasthaken 8e ebenfalls eine im Wesentlichen ebene Fläche auf, die an der Schicht 15 anliegt. Die Frontplatte 2 wird demnach durch zwei reibschlüssige Verbindungen an dem ersten Schenkel 6e gehalten. An der der Schicht 15 zugewandten Seite kann das Rastelement 8e bevorzugt eine Oberfläche mit guter Gleitfähigkeit aufweisen, so dass die Reibung zwischen den einander zugewandten Oberflächen des Rastelements 8e einerseits und der Schicht 15 andererseits insgesamt gering ist. Die Gleitfähigkeit kann beispielsweise durch eine geeignete Beschichtung hergestellt werden. Die beiden Oberflächen des Rasthakens 8e sind gewinkelt zueinander angeordnet, sodass der Rasthaken eine Keilform besitzt, die sich entgegen der Einführrichtung verjüngt. Wird die Frontplatte 2 aus der Aufnahme 26 herausgezogen, so wird durch die reibschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Rasthaken 8e und Frontplatte 2 der Rasthaken 8e ebenfalls entgegen der Einführrichtung bewegt. Durch die Keilform des Rasthakens 8e wird eine Kraft quer zur Einführrichtung auf die Frontplatte 2 ausgeübt, sodass diese zwischen dem ersten Schenkel 6e und dem zweiten Schenkel 7e verklemmt wird. Die Versteifungseinlage 11 verläuft von dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 bis zu dem zweiten Schenkel 7e, welcher den äußeren Schenkel bildet. Die Versteifungseinlage 11 hat außerdem einen getrennten Bereich in dem ersten Schenkel 6e, der nicht mit dem Teil der Versteifungseinlage 11 verbunden ist, der sich von dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 zu dem äußeren Schenkel 7e erstreckt. Die Versteifungseinlage 11 kann jedoch auch einstückig in dem ersten Schenkel 6e, dem zweiten Schenkel 7e und/oder dem zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 ausgebildet sein. Abweichend von der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 8 kann auch im Fall eines Rasthakens 8e gemäß Fig. 8 eine Ausnehmung 9 in der Frontplatte 2 vorgesehen sein.Another connection profile 4e of a fifth embodiment is shown in FIG Fig. 8 and corresponds essentially to the first embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 , however, has a first leg 6e with latching hook 8e, which forms an inner leg 6e on the side of the receptacle 26 facing the second connecting area 12. The second leg 7e is arranged on the outside of the connecting profile 4e on the side of the receptacle 26 facing away from the second connecting area 12 and has a non-slip layer 10 on its side facing the front panel 2. The latching hook 8e is made of a slip-preventing material and is integrally connected to a layer 15 on the first leg 6e. A taper is formed at the connection point between the latching hook 8e and the layer 15, so that the latching hook 8e can simply be pivoted when the front panel 2 is inserted. On the side facing the front panel 2, the latching hook 8e has an essentially flat surface which, when the front panel 2 is inserted, lies flat against the latter. On the side facing away from the front panel, the latching hook 8e likewise has an essentially flat surface which rests against the layer 15. The front panel 2 is therefore held on the first leg 6e by two frictional connections. On the side facing the layer 15, the latching element 8e can preferably have a surface with good sliding properties have, so that the friction between the mutually facing surfaces of the latching element 8e on the one hand and the layer 15 on the other hand is low overall. The lubricity can be produced, for example, by a suitable coating. The two surfaces of the latching hook 8e are arranged at an angle to one another, so that the latching hook has a wedge shape which tapers against the direction of insertion. If the front panel 2 is pulled out of the receptacle 26, the locking hook 8e is also moved counter to the insertion direction by the frictional connection between the locking hook 8e and the front panel 2. Due to the wedge shape of the locking hook 8e, a force is exerted on the front panel 2 transversely to the direction of insertion, so that it is clamped between the first leg 6e and the second leg 7e. The stiffening insert 11 extends from the second connecting area 12 to the second leg 7e, which forms the outer leg. The stiffening insert 11 also has a separate area in the first leg 6e which is not connected to the part of the stiffening insert 11 which extends from the second connecting area 12 to the outer leg 7e. The stiffening insert 11 can, however, also be formed in one piece in the first leg 6e, the second leg 7e and / or the second connecting area 12. Notwithstanding the embodiment according to Fig. 8 can also in the case of a latching hook 8e according to Fig. 8 a recess 9 can be provided in the front panel 2.

Ein Verbindungsprofil 4f einer sechsten Ausführungsform ist in Fig. 9 dargestellt und entspricht im Wesentlichen der in Fig. 4 dargestellten ersten Ausführungsform, weist jedoch einen ersten Schenkel 6f auf, der flach ausgeführt ist und parallel zu dem zweiten Schenkel 7f und der Frontplatte 2 und damit zur Einführrichtung angeordnet ist. Die Frontplatte 2 weist neben der Ausnehmung 9 eine zweite Ausnehmung 14 auf, die auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Frontplatte 2 angeordnet ist. Das Verbindungsprofil 4f weist an dem zweiten Schenkel 7f einen zweiten Rasthaken 13f auf, der in die Ausnehmung 14 der Frontplatte 2 eingreift. Durch die doppelte Verrastung durch zwei Rasthaken 8f, 13f in zwei Ausnehmungen 9, 14 der Frontplatte 2 wird eine besonders stabile Verbindung erreicht.A connection profile 4f of a sixth embodiment is shown in FIG Fig. 9 and essentially corresponds to that in Fig. 4 illustrated first embodiment, but has a first leg 6f, which is flat and is arranged parallel to the second leg 7f and the front plate 2 and thus to the direction of insertion. In addition to the recess 9, the front panel 2 has a second recess 14 which is arranged on the opposite side of the front panel 2. The connecting profile 4f has a second latching hook 13f on the second leg 7f, which is inserted into the recess 14 of the Front panel 2 engages. A particularly stable connection is achieved through the double latching by two latching hooks 8f, 13f in two recesses 9, 14 of the front panel 2.

Eine siebte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in Fig. 10 dargestellt, die im Wesentlichen der sechsten Ausführungsform (vgl. Fig. 9) entspricht, jedoch Rasthaken 8g, 13g aufweist, die aus einem Material gefertigt sind, welches bevorzugt weicher ist als das Material des restlichen Verbindungsprofils und insbesondere gleithindernde Eigenschaften aufweist. Die Frontplatte 2 wird daher sowohl formschlüssig als auch reibschlüssig in der Aufnahme 26 gehalten.A seventh embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG Fig. 10 shown, which essentially corresponds to the sixth embodiment (cf. Fig. 9 ) corresponds, but has latching hooks 8g, 13g which are made of a material which is preferably softer than the material of the rest of the connecting profile and in particular has anti-slip properties. The front panel 2 is therefore held in the receptacle 26 with both a form-fitting and a frictional fit.

Fig. 11 zeigt eine achte Ausführungsform der Erfindung, die im Wesentlichen der ersten Ausführungsform der Fig. 4 entspricht, jedoch im zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 ein doppelseitiges Klebeband 24 aufweist, um diesen mit der Seitenwand 3 der Leuchtreklameanordnung 1 zu verbinden. Das doppelseitige Klebeband 24 kann eine Schutzfolie aufweisen, die vor der Verbindung mit einer Seitenwand 3 abgezogen werden kann, um die klebende Oberfläche freizulegen und mit der Seitenwand 3 zu verkleben. Fig. 11 FIG. 8 shows an eighth embodiment of the invention, which is essentially the first embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 corresponds, but has a double-sided adhesive tape 24 in the second connection area 12 in order to connect it to the side wall 3 of the illuminated advertising arrangement 1. The double-sided adhesive tape 24 can have a protective film which can be peeled off before being connected to a side wall 3 in order to expose the adhesive surface and to glue it to the side wall 3.

Fig. 12 zeigt eine neunte Ausführungsform der Erfindung, die im Wesentlichen der ersten Ausführungsform der Fig. 4 entspricht, jedoch im zweiten Verbindungsbereich 12 ein magnetisches Klebeband 25 aufweist, um diesen mit der Seitenwand 3 zu verbinden. Das magnetische Klebeband 25 ist mit dem Verbindungsprofil 4i verklebt und kann mit einer ferromagnetischen Seitenwand 3 reversibel verbunden werden. Dies ermöglicht es, die Frontplatte 2 mit Verbindungsprofil 4i besonders einfach wieder von der Seitenwand 3 abzunehmen, um beispielsweise das Leuchtmittel zu tauschen oder Reparaturen vorzunehmen, da die Verbindung zwischen Seitenwand 3 und Frontplatte 2 nicht durch Entfernen von Schrauben, Nieten, Klebstoff oder dergleichen gelöst werden muss. Fig. 12 FIG. 13 shows a ninth embodiment of the invention, which is essentially the first embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 corresponds, but has a magnetic adhesive tape 25 in the second connection area 12 in order to connect it to the side wall 3. The magnetic adhesive tape 25 is glued to the connecting profile 4 i and can be reversibly connected to a ferromagnetic side wall 3. This makes it possible to remove the front panel 2 with the connecting profile 4i particularly easily from the side wall 3, for example to replace the light source or to carry out repairs, since the connection between the side wall 3 and the front panel 2 is not released by removing screws, rivets, glue or the like must become.

Fig. 13 zeigt eine zehnte Ausführungsform der Erfindung in einer schrägen Draufsicht auf die Innenseite der Seitenwand 3. Die Frontplatte 2 ist über die gesamte Länge in der Aufnahme 26 des ersten Verbindungsbereichs 5 zwischen den zwei Schenkeln 6j, 7j aufgenommen. Die Seitenwand 3 weist in regelmäßigen Abständen Nasen 16 auf, in die ein Haken 17j des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs 12 eingreift. Fig. 13 shows a tenth embodiment of the invention in an oblique top view of the inside of the side wall 3. The front panel 2 is received over the entire length in the receptacle 26 of the first connecting area 5 between the two legs 6j, 7j. The side wall 3 has lugs 16 at regular intervals into which a hook 17j of the second connecting area 12 engages.

Eine entsprechende Schnittdarstellung der zehnten Ausführungsform an der Position einer der Nasen 16 ist in Fig. 14 dargestellt. Die Schenkel 6j, 7j und der Rasthaken 8j entsprechen den jeweiligen Teilen der ersten Ausführungsform der Fig. 4. Die Seitenwand 3 liegt mit ihrer Kante an der der Frontplatte 2 abgewandten Seite des zweiten Schenkels 7j an. Die Nase 16 ist in eine von dieser Kante abgewandten Richtung ausgerichtet, sodass ein Haken 17j des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs 12 in diese eingreifen kann und das Verbindungsprofil 4j mit der Seitenwand 3 verrastet. Der Bereich des Hakens 17j des zweiten Verbindungbereichs 12, der an der Seitenwand 3 anliegt, ist mit einer gleithindernden Schicht 18 versehen, die für einen verbesserten Halt zwischen Haken 17j und Nase 16 sorgt.A corresponding sectional view of the tenth embodiment at the position of one of the lugs 16 is shown in FIG Fig. 14 shown. The legs 6j, 7j and the latching hook 8j correspond to the respective parts of the first embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 . The edge of the side wall 3 rests against the side of the second leg 7j facing away from the front plate 2. The nose 16 is oriented in a direction facing away from this edge, so that a hook 17j of the second connection area 12 can engage in it and the connection profile 4j latches with the side wall 3. The area of the hook 17j of the second connection area 12, which rests against the side wall 3, is provided with a slide-preventing layer 18, which ensures an improved hold between the hook 17j and the nose 16.

Eine elfte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in Fig. 15 gezeigt, bei der die Seitenwand 3 an ihrem Rand eine Verkantung 19 aufweist, die durch einfaches Umbiegen der Seitenwand an dem Randbereich gebildet ist. Der Haken 17k des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs 12 ist an dem zweiten Schenkel 7k festgelegt und greift in die Verkantung 19 der Seitenwand 3 ein, um diese mit dem Verbindungsprofil 4k zu verbinden.An eleventh embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG Fig. 15 shown, in which the side wall 3 has a tilt 19 at its edge, which is formed by simply bending the side wall at the edge region. The hook 17k of the second connecting area 12 is fixed on the second leg 7k and engages in the tilt 19 of the side wall 3 in order to connect it to the connecting profile 4k.

In einer zwölften Ausführungsform der Erfindung, die in Fig. 16 dargestellt ist, ist der zweite Verbindungsbereich 12 vergleichbar zu dem ersten Verbindungsbereich 5 ausgeführt. Dieser weist eine Aufnahme 27 auf, die aus einem ersten Schenkel 20 des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs 12 und einem zweiten Schenkel 21 des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs 12 gebildet ist. Der zweite Schenkel 21 des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs 12 ist an dem zweiten Schenkel 7l (d.h. dem innen liegenden Schenkel) des ersten Verbindungsbereichs 5 ausgebildet. An dem zweiten Schenkel 21 des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs 12 ist ein Rasthaken 22 vorgesehen, welcher widerhakenartig angeordnet ist, um die Seitenwand 3 in der Aufnahme 27 des zweiten Verbindungsbereichs 12 zu halten. An dem ersten Schenkel 20 ist zusätzlich eine gleithindernde Schicht 23 vorgesehen, die auf die gleiche Art wie für den ersten Verbindungsbereich 5 beschrieben für eine erhöhte Haltekraft sorgt. Abweichend von der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 16 kann in der Seitenwand 3 eine Ausnehmung vorgesehen sein, mit der der Rasthaken 22 zusammenwirkt.In a twelfth embodiment of the invention, which is shown in Fig. 16 is shown, the second connection area 12 is designed to be comparable to the first connection area 5. This has a receptacle 27, which consists of a first Leg 20 of the second connection area 12 and a second leg 21 of the second connection area 12 is formed. The second leg 21 of the second connection area 12 is formed on the second leg 71 (ie the inner leg) of the first connection area 5. A latching hook 22 is provided on the second leg 21 of the second connection area 12, which is arranged like a barb in order to hold the side wall 3 in the receptacle 27 of the second connection area 12. A non-slip layer 23 is additionally provided on the first leg 20, which provides an increased holding force in the same way as described for the first connection area 5. Notwithstanding the embodiment according to Fig. 16 For example, a recess can be provided in the side wall 3, with which the latching hook 22 interacts.
