Abstract
The lighting system operates by means of fuel cells. The invention is based on the fact that situations involving road traffic, catastrophes, hazardous areas of work or extreme seclusion always arise, in which it is very important to be seen and, to this end, provides a device that enables the user to be seen without additional complexity. The shape and color of this lighting system can be more or less freely modified according to the intended purpose and also grants a certain latitude to stylish creativity. The lighting system consists of fuel cells (4) and of luminous elements (2) provided in the form of an electroluminescent film or LED's. A snap-action switch or a push button (1) serves as a controlling element that gives the pulses to the controlling element (5) which place the luminous element (2) into operation. Depending on the use, the switching-on process is automated by a photoelectric cell (3). In order to produce special effects, control electronics (5) and light guides (6) can be connected.
Description
B rennstoffzellenleuchtsvstem Fuel cell lighting system
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Leuchtsystem mit Brennstoffzellen als Stromquelle das von Sicherheits- bis Modeleuchten benutzt werden kann. Es aktiviert beiThe invention relates to a lighting system with fuel cells as a power source that can be used from safety to fashion lights. It activates at
Dunkelheit eine elektroluminiszierende Folie oder LED ' s , welche die Sichtb arkeit und damit die Sicherheit erhöht. Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung ein solches Leuchtsystem das von Sicherheits- bis Modeleuchten verwendet werden kann, zu schaffen . Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale gemäs s Patentanspruch 1 gelö st.Darkness an electroluminescent film or LED 's, which increases the visibility and thus the safety. It is an object of the invention to provide such a lighting system that can be used from safety to fashion lights. This object is achieved by the features according to claim 1.
Die Figur 1 zeigt einen S chaltplan und die Figur 2 ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemässen Sicherheits- und Modeleuchte . Das Leuchtsystem besteht aus beweglichen elektroluminiszierenden Folien oder LED ' s sowieFIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram and FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a safety and fashion light according to the invention. The lighting system consists of movable electroluminescent foils or LEDs as well
Brennstoffzellen 4 , die ebenfalls j e nach Verwendungszweck grösser oder kleiner dimensioniert werden . Eine Steuerungselement 5 kann zum erreichen von speziellen Effekten dazwischengeschaltet werden . Ein S chnappschalter o der Taster 1 gibt den Impulse zur Inbetriebnahme des Leuchtelements 2. Je nach Verwendungszweck ist es sinnvoll den Einschaltvorgang zu automatisieren . In die sem Fall wird mit Hilfe einer oder mehreren Photozellen 3 , die bei Einsetzen der Dunkelheit den Impuls geben, das Leuchtelement 2 aktiviert. Wie beim Zeichnungsbeispiel können auch Taster 1 und Photozelle 3 kombiniert eingesetzt werden . Das
Leuchtelement 2 besteht aus einer beweglichen elektroluminiszierenden Folie oder aus LED ' s die j e nach Signalfunktion in verschiedenen Farben gewählt werden können. Durch Flexibilität im B ereich der Lichtquelle mit Laminaten oder optischen Lichtleitern 6 , sowie einer Auswahl an verschiedenen Farben und Formen, können auch modische Aspekte berücksichtigt werden und somit wird der Einsatz auch im kommerziellen Modebereich stattfinden .
Fuel cells 4, which are also sized larger or smaller depending on the intended use. A control element 5 can be interposed to achieve special effects. A snap switch o the button 1 gives the impulses for starting up the lighting element 2. Depending on the intended use, it makes sense to automate the switch-on process. In this case, the light element 2 is activated with the help of one or more photocells 3, which give the impulse when darkness sets in. As with the drawing example, button 1 and photo cell 3 can also be used in combination. The Luminous element 2 consists of a movable electroluminescent film or LEDs that can be selected in different colors depending on the signal function. Due to flexibility in the area of the light source with laminates or optical light guides 6, as well as a selection of different colors and shapes, fashionable aspects can also be taken into account and thus the use will also take place in the commercial fashion area.
