Description
&ngr;, Rettungszeichen- oder Hinweiszeichenleuchte&ngr;, emergency exit or information sign light
Die Neuerung betrifft eine Rettungszeichen- oder Hinweiszeichenleuchte, bestehend aus einer flachen Streuscheibenanordnung, die mindestens ein Hinweiselement besitzt und von mindestens einer Kante her durch mehrere Leuchtdioden (LED) beleuchtbar ist.The innovation concerns an emergency exit sign or information sign light, consisting of a flat diffuser arrangement that has at least one information element and can be illuminated from at least one edge by several light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Derartige Leuchten werden z.B. zur Fluchtwegkennzeichnung eingesetzt und verfugen dann über geeignete Informationspiktogramme wie beispielsweise laufende Person, Pfeil, Tür usw. Bekannte Ausfuhrungsfonnen bestehen aus einer Streulichtscheibe mit ein- oder angebrachten Informationssymbolen. Zur Beleuchtung der Scheiben werden üblicherweise Leuchtstofflampen eingesetzt. Theoretisch vorgeschlagen wurde auch schon die Lichteinspeisung von einer Kante her durch Leuchtdioden (LED). Konkrete Ausführungsformen bzw. die bauliche Gestaltung solcher durch Leuchtdioden mit Licht versorgter Leuchten mit einer flachen Streulichtscheibe sind noch nicht gekannt geworden.Such lights are used, for example, to mark escape routes and then have suitable information pictograms such as a person walking, arrow, door, etc. Known designs consist of a diffused light panel with information symbols built into or attached. Fluorescent lamps are usually used to illuminate the panels. Theoretically, it has also been suggested that light be fed in from an edge using light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Specific designs or the structural design of such lights supplied with light by light-emitting diodes with a flat diffused light panel have not yet been identified.
Der Erfindung lag daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Rettungszeichen- oder Hinweiszeichenleuchte zu schaffen, die die bauliche Integration von Leuchtdioden als Leuchtmittel in raumsparender und leicht montierbarer Ausführung vorsieht.The invention was therefore based on the object of creating an escape sign or information sign luminaire which provides for the structural integration of light-emitting diodes as lighting means in a space-saving and easily mountable design.
Diese Aufgabe wurde durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Schutzanspruches 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den nachfolgenden Schutzansprüchen 2-7 enthalten. Durch die Anbringung der Leuchtdioden auf einem gemeinsamen Trägerelement ist es bei der Fertigung hoher Stückzahlen kostengünstig möglich, in rationeller Weise z.B. automatisiert eine vorgefertigte Einheit als Lichtquelle zur Einspeisung der Streuscheibenanordnung herzustellen. Besonders vorteilhaft wirkt, nach weiteren Merkmalen der Erfindung, das Trägerelement als streifenfönnige Platine mit elektrischen Leitungsverbindungen auszubilden und -wenn platzmäßig unterbringbar- mit elektrischen Betriebsmitteln wie Netztransformator, Gleichrichter, ggfs. Steuerungselektronik u. dgl. zu bestücken.This task was solved by the features listed in the characterizing part of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are contained in the following claims 2-7. By attaching the light-emitting diodes to a common carrier element, it is possible to manufacture large quantities cost-effectively, for example, in an automated manner, in a rational manner, a prefabricated unit as a light source for feeding the diffuser arrangement. According to further features of the invention, it is particularly advantageous to design the carrier element as a strip-shaped circuit board with electrical cable connections and - if space permits - to equip it with electrical equipment such as a mains transformer, rectifier, possibly control electronics and the like.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert. Zur Veranschaulichung dient eine prinzipmäßige Zeichnung, die in Fig. 1 eine Rettungszeichenleuchte perspektivisch darstellt.The invention is explained below using an exemplary embodiment. A basic drawing serves to illustrate this, which shows an escape sign light in perspective in Fig. 1.
Gemäß Fig. 1 besteht die Leuchte aus einer Streuscheibenanordnung 3 mit Fluchtsymbolen 4 und dem Trägerelement 2, an dem die Leuchtdioden 1 befestigt sind. Die Leuchtdioden sind so angebracht, daß sie Licht in eine Kante der Streuscheibenanordnung einspeisen. Gegebenenfalls können die anderen Kanten in an sich bekannter Weise verspiegelt oder lichtdicht abgedichtet sein. Falls eine äußere Abdeckung des Trägerelements erforderlich ist, empfiehlt es sich, ein Gehäuse 5 anzubringen, an dem ggfs. das Trägerelement befestigt werden kann.According to Fig. 1, the lamp consists of a diffuser arrangement 3 with alignment symbols 4 and the carrier element 2 to which the light-emitting diodes 1 are attached. The light-emitting diodes are attached in such a way that they feed light into one edge of the diffuser arrangement. If necessary, the other edges can be mirrored or sealed light-tight in a manner known per se. If an external cover for the carrier element is required, it is recommended to attach a housing 5 to which the carrier element can be attached if necessary.
Ais Leuchtdioden können sowohl eine Kombination von rot-, grün- und blauabstrahlenden Dioden zur Erzeugung einer weißen Farbe als auch nur einfarbige Dioden verwendet werden. Besonders vorteilhaft wäre der Einsatz von Leuchtdioden anzusehen, die weißes Licht abstrahlen und damit gegenüber der rot- grünblauen-Kombination einen geringeren elektronischen Schaltungsaufwand erfordern.A combination of red, green and blue emitting diodes can be used to produce a white color, as can single-color diodes. The use of light emitting diodes that emit white light would be particularly advantageous, as they require less electronic circuitry than the red-green-blue combination.
