Claims.
This invention relates to illuminating or lighting devices, and particularly to the use of gaseous illuminating tubes of the low voltage, hot cathode type. These gaseous illuminating tubes 5 may be constructed to emit light of different colors including the principal primary colors, such as red and green.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved illuminating device for the use of gaseous illuminating tubes, with which a concentrated light may be delivered in any desired direction, with which light may be produced which has the illuminating characteristics of substantially white light, and which will be relatively simple, compact and inexpensive in construction and operation.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved lighting device with which gaseous i1- luminating tubes emitting diiferent primary colors may be utilized to deliver a column of mixed light closely resembling sunlight in illuminating characteristics.
A further object of the invention is to provide improved means for mixing the light from a plurality of illuminating tubes emitting different primary colors, so that a mixed light may be obtained which is a maximum possible approach to white light in its illuminating characteristics.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved light reiiector which will have a minimum of glare and produce a minimum o1' shadows.
Various other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description of one embodiment of the invention, and the novel features will be particularly pointed out hereinafter in connection with the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a lighting device constructed in accordance with this invention;
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, partly in section, to illustrate certain details of construction of the reiiector;
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan of the reflector and tubes and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same, the section being taken through the center of the device at one end.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, a box like structure I0 is provided with studs or pins I l at its ends which are pivotally mounted in hanger brackets I2 which may be suspended from the ceiling or supported upon a wall from which the device is to be supported. The supporting pivot pins I I are aligned with one another so that the box l0 may tilt into a plurality of diierent angular positions, some of which areshownby the dash lines in Fig. 2. The lower face of the box is closed by a reflector i3 which is concave on its lower face and bowed or arched upwardly into the interior o! the box, as shown clearly in Fig. 2. This reflector may be made of sheet metal and its concave face represents a surface of generation having vits elements, or lines of generation, straight lines, and has three sections A, B and C. The concave face may also be considered as a single curved'surface, that is,.one generated by a straight line moving so that any two but no three of its consecutive positions are in the same plane. 'I'he sections A and C in cross section represent the two halves of a parabola, the two halves beginning at the major axis. The middle section B in cross section also corresponds to the portion of a parabola at the end of the major axis and is symmetrical with respect to said major axis. The side edges of the middle section preferably merge into, or with, the inner side edges of the two parabolic half sections to make a continuous surface of generation. In other words, the concave reflecting surface :epresents or corresponds to a surface generated by a straight line moving from one side edge of the reflector, such as the edgeE, in a parabolic path about the focus Il in the major axis of that parabolic curve, until the line reaches the major axis of that parabolic curve, whereupon the lme moves in a new parabolic path'about the focus I5 of the parabolic curve of the middle section B to generate a symmetrical curve, and then changes its path and moves lin a new parabolic path about the focus I6 of the section C. -If the middle section B were removed and the two sections A and C moved closer together until they met, the foci I4 and I6 would merge. 'l'.'he focus I5 for the middle section B is onta straight line and midway between the foci I4 and i6 and. therefore, the three foci H, I5 and l0 are in the same line and the same plane.` v
The reflector I3 preferably has'a greater length than width and an elongated, gaseous illuminating tube l1 extends in a direction` endwise of the reflector substantially at the focus Il which is in the axis of generation of the reecting surface of the middle sectionv B. The tube Il extends parallel to the lines of generation of the reiiecting surface so that it is everywhere equi-,ditant from the reflector except at its ends which are bent upwardly as at I'la and pass through the reilector into the box. The ends of the tube within the box are provided with the usual electrodes. one
end having ,an anode or anodes, and the other end having a cathode. Such tubes are well known in the art and are gas-tight tubes of transparent material, such as glass, containing an inert gas and operated by a relatively low voltage. 'I'he cathodes of such tubes are vusually heated, but since such details of the tubes are well known in the art, they have not been illustrated.
The character of the light emitted by such a tube depends upon the inert gas which is placed in the tube, and preferably the center tube is of the type which emits one of the primary colors, such as a red color. Asecond gaseous illuminating tube I8, generally U-shape in character, is also disposed below or in front of the reflector Il, and the arms of the U extend along opposite sides of the tube I1 and substantially at the foci I4 and I6, as shown in Fig. 2. The free ends of the arms of this U-shaped tube I8 are bent upwardly and enter the box III where they are provided with anodes and a cathode by means of which current is passed through the tube. 'I'he tube I8 is provided with inert gas which causes the tube to emit a color of light representing another of the primary colors, such as the color green. The color green is a mixture of blue and yellow and, therefore, takes the place of blue and yellow.
The light from the tube I8 striking the reflecting surfaces of the sections A and C will be reflected generally in a parallel path and the light from the tube II which strikes the reflecting surface of the middle section B of the reflector will also be reflected generally in a parallel direction, and parallel to the light reflected by the sections A and C. The light from the tubes I 'I and I8 will, therefore, be concentrated and directed in one general direction by the concave reflector I3 and the mixing of the two colored lights, red and green, will produce a light which has the illuminating characteristics of substantially white light, because it is known that the mixing of primary colors will produce white. The intensity of light provided in each of the tubes I1 and I8 is designed to give a proper balance between the primary colors and produce a white light approximately free from an excess of either color. The tubes are all spaced from the reflector far enough to permit them to cool durin use. Y
While the reflecting surface of the reflector I3 may be a highly polished surface, and of any desired shape or size I have found that preferable results are obtained by providing this reflecting surface with a satin-like or light-diffusing finish. For example, the reflector I3 may be made of sheet aluminum, which is stamped or bent into the desired shape, and the reflecting surface is subjected to the action of an acid which gives a light etch to the reflecting surface, thereby producing a finish which is known inthe trade as an aluminum oxide finish. One may also use a mottle finish paint surface or a porcelain enamel finish. Such a surface, while reflecting the light generally in accordance with the parabolic character of the curvature, nevertheless causes material diffusion of the light rays and a thorough mixing of the rays of colored light. The resulting light so produced has the principal illuminating characteristics of white light, and closely resembles day light. The diusion also reduces glares and shadows to a considerable extent. While the tubes for giving the different colors may be arranged in different combinations in front of the reflecting surface, I have found that somewhat better results are obtained where the red is interposed between the green tubes, as illustrated in the drawing.
The tubes may be supported in proper position in front of the reflector in any desired manner, such as by the use of spring clips I8 that are somewhat U-shaped in character and secured at the bases of the U to the reflector. The arms of each clip are made of spring metal, and are somewhat oppositely arcuate at their ends which spring apart to receive a tube. Each tube thus may be snapped into a ilxed, desired position between the arms of the spring clamps and held yieldingly in that position.
'I'he transformers and other operating mechanism (not shown) for the operation of the tubes II and I8 may be contained within the box III above the reflector I3 and in order to dissipate any Aheat which may be generated by such operating mechanism, the box is provided with ventilating louvers 20 in its sides and top. To enable access to be had to the interior of the box I8, parts of the sides and the top may be made in a single piece of sheet metal which is removed from the frame of the box. 'I'he pins II, which pivotally mount the box in the hangers. I2, may be in the nature of threaded studs or bolts which carrywashers 2| and wing nuts 22 which, when tightened, will clamp the box in any angular position into which it is adjusted or tilted.
It will be obvious that various changes in the details, which havebeen herein described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of the invention, may be made by those skilled in the art within the principle and scope of theinvention as expressed in the appended claims.
