Definitions
- the present invention relates to a canopy, in particular a pavilion, a pergola, a tent or an awning, said canopy comprising a roof, a support structure for the roof, and an illumination device associated with the support structure.
- the German Utility Model Patent Application DE 90 04 867 U1 discloses a low-voltage illumination device for pergola systems.
- the illumination device consists of low-voltage illumination elements disposed on the outer side of the support structure of the pergola.
- pavilion-like structures are known from the prior art, which structures also comprise a roof supported by the support structure.
- These canopy systems likewise have an illumination device, the illumination elements of which are fixed on the outer side of the support structure.
- the illumination device disposed on the outer side of the support structure can pose an increased risk of injury during the operation of the illuminable canopy.
- an unwary user or a child may accidentally touch the possibly very hot parts of the illumination device and sustain considerable injuries.
- the illumination device of an illuminable, category-defining canopy especially one that is operated in gardens and recreational areas, attract a large number of insects, in particular, at nighttime. These insects get caught up in parts of the illumination device or perish on coming into contact with the hot parts of the illumination device, which in a short time stains the illumination device, and thus the entire canopy.
- a canopy in particular, a pavilion, a pergola, a tent or an awning is characterized in that the illumination device of the support structure is substantially integrated with the support structure.
- a delicate illumination device which may consist, for example, of filament bulbs, light bulbs, light-emitting diodes, or the like can be “countersunk” partially or completely inside the support structure of the canopy of the invention according to the invention.
- the illumination device can be disposed in braces that can form the support structure of the canopy.
- the resulting possibility of isolating the illumination device from the surroundings effectively helps prevent damage caused by mounting and dismantling the canopy or due to external influences during storage.
- the isolation of the illumination device according to the invention simultaneously rules out the risk of injury during the mounting and dismantling of the canopy and during its operation.
- the integration of the illumination device into the support structure of the canopy helps achieve a particularly favorable visual impression of the canopy.
- the illumination device is not in operation, for example, in the presence of daylight, it is not noticeable to the user or gives merely a vague impression of its presence.
- a canopy of the aforementioned kind is specified in which a reliable operation of the apparatus, a particularly appealing visual impression, and the maximum possible protection of illumination device is achieved.
- the illumination device of the support structure is substantially integrated with the support structure. This means, for example, that small portions of the illumination device can come into contact with the ambient environment.
- bores can be provided in the related portions of the support structure, in which bores light-emitting diodes are disposed such that only the outermost end of the latter protrude through the corresponding bore. This also helps achieve excellent protection for the illumination device.
- the illumination device is completely integrated into the support structure.
- the support structure thus has no direct contact with the ambient environment, thereby enabling particularly effective prevention of damage or superficial wear of the illumination device.
- the illumination device is enclosed by the support structure in all spatial directions, thereby receiving optimum protection. This likewise effectively prevents any possible risk of injury.
- the support structure comprises braces known from pavilions, tents or other apparatuses of the type mentioned above.
- the braces comprise one or more substantially vertically disposed support braces.
- That end of the support braces that is located close to the ground can comprise a base.
- This provides the apparatus according to the invention with increased stability. Furthermore, operator controls and power supply devices for the illumination device can be accommodated in a support brace.
- the braces can comprise one or more substantially horizontally disposed cross-braces. Usually, four or more support braces are present, and those ends of the support braces that are oriented away from the ground are connected by means of the cross-braces. This provides a stable and resilient frame for the canopy according to the invention.
- the braces can comprise one or more substantially obliquely disposed roof braces forming a support for the roof.
- one end of each of the several obliquely disposed roof braces is articulated to a horizontally disposed cross-brace or to a connecting point of a cross-brace and a support brace, and the other end is disposed on the ends of the other existing roof braces.
- the support structure preferably comprises a transparent or translucent material at least in the region of the integrated illumination device. If the illumination device, as mentioned above, is completely enclosed by the support structure, then at least that region of the support structure that encapsulates the illumination device is designed such that the light emitted by the illumination device can penetrate the support structure at least partially in order to be able to meet the purpose of the illumination device.
- the use of transparent material inside the support structure helps achieve particularly high light output.
- the use of translucent material can help achieve a light-scattering effect, as is known, for example, from opal light bulbs or lamps containing lampshades. This helps provide illumination having particularly appealing effects for the user.
- the use of translucent material helps achieve color effects, namely if the translucent material is tinted and acts as a color filter on the light emitted. It is further possible to provide different colors of the emitted light within a single support structure by using variably colored translucent material in different sections of the support structure.
- one or more, or all braces can be made, at least partly, of transparent or translucent material and can integrally receive at least one part of the illumination device.
- one or more braces can be designed using transparent or translucent material only on their upper or lower sides, when seen in the longitudinal direction, so that light is emitted only in one direction—that is, preferably toward the space circumscribed by the canopy.
- the braces can be designed such that the integrated part of the illumination device is disposed in the two ends of the brace.
- a part of the illumination device can be integrated into both ends of the brace, which is partially made of transparent or translucent material. The light is thus emitted by and large in the longitudinal direction of the brace so that the brace is perceived to be an illuminated body in its entirety without the user detecting the illumination device disposed in the ends of the brace at first glance.
- the integrated part of the illumination device can be distributed over the length of the brace.
- a power supply circuit and a holder for the illumination device can be provided inside the brace.
- the power supply circuit can also be designed integrally together with the holder. It is now possible to arrange parts of the illumination device in such a way over the length of the brace that the result is a particularly uniform emission of light.
- the distribution of the illumination device over the length of the brace can also be combined with an arrangement of the illumination device in both the ends of the brace.
- the translucent material includes plastic, glass or other suitable materials having translucent properties. In this respect, a large number of different materials are known from the prior art.
- the translucent material known from the prior art can have different color schemes and/or a variably strong hue level and variable degree of light transmittance. In this way, the apparatus according to the invention is used to achieve interesting color and lighting effects that are adapted to suit the respective situation.
- the color and/or the intensity of the emitted light can be changed by the user or by means of an automatic control mechanism.
- the intensity of the emitted light can be changed, for example, by providing the user with a dimming function for the illumination device.
- a dimming function can be implemented particularly well by using commercially available light bulbs. If the illumination device consists of illumination elements, which are not dimmable by virtue of their functioning, the intensity of the emitted light can be regulated by switching on or off a larger or smaller number of the illumination elements forming the illumination device according to requirements.
- the color of the emitted light can be changed by switching on or off variably colored illumination elements according to requirements.
- the illumination device can comprise illumination elements, each of which emits a complementary color.
- the selective switching on and off of defined illumination elements can provide any color of emitted light.
- the illumination device inside the support structure can be surrounded, for example, by a color filter, which is designed as a cylinder and segments of which have different colors.
- a rotation or any other dislocation of the color filter within the support structure changes the color of the emitted light, depending on the user's choice.
- the illumination device comprises one or more illumination elements.
- a plurality of illumination elements can be distributed in a decentralized manner in the support structure of the canopy, thereby ensuring more uniform and extensive illumination.
- the illumination elements can comprise filament bulbs, light bulbs, and/or light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
- filament bulbs or light bulbs are that they emit light that has particularly pleasant effects for the user.
- the power consumption of light bulbs or filament bulbs is known to be high as compared to the light output emitted.
- the advantage of light-emitting diodes is that they require only a very small volume inside the support structure of the apparatus.
- the heat capacity of light-emitting diodes is very low since a large part of the power consumed is converted into light output. Therefore, light-emitting diodes generally consume very less power as compared to light bulbs.
- the small overall size of LEDs makes it possible to arrange many light-emitting diodes inside the support structure of the canopy according to the invention.
- the variably colored light-emitting diodes help achieve all kinds of light effects.
- the light output can be regulated by selectively switching on and off the light-emitting diodes. This also enables a reduction in the power consumption of
- the illumination elements can comprise elongated illumination elements, in particular, fluorescent tubes.
- fluorescent tubes are particularly suitable for being arranged in the support braces already mentioned above. All kinds of interesting color effects can be achieved by tinting the fluorescent tubes or in any other manner mentioned above.
- the illumination device generally comprises a power supply circuit, which connects the illumination device to a current source.
- the power supply circuit can consist of wires, cables or conductive strips, on which the illumination elements can be disposed.
- the power supply circuit is disposed inside the support structure.
- the power supply circuit is therefore not visible from the outside and is securely protected from damage.
- the illumination device can be supplied with power by means of a pack of batteries, rechargeable batteries, solar cells disposed externally or on the roof, or a public electricity supply system (if appropriate, by way of an intermediate rectifier). If several types of power supply are implemented in the canopy according to the invention at the user's choice, the user can select between these, depending on the available power supply and, for example, switch from battery operation or rechargeable battery-operation to an operation powered by the public electricity supply system.
- the pack of rechargeable batteries can be recharged using solar cells and/or the public electricity supply system.
- a canopy according to the invention comprising solar cells mounted on the roof or on other suitable positions can recharge the rechargeable battery pack in the presence of daylight.
- a fully charged rechargeable battery is provided in case the illumination device of the canopy is required for use during evening hours or at nighttime.
- the pack of batteries or rechargeable batteries can be disposed inside a support brace or inside a base of the canopy according to the invention. This depends on the preferred design form for the canopy according to the invention and the type of canopy to be used.
- the pack of batteries or rechargeable batteries can be encapsulated and disposed on the outer side of a support brace or on the outer side of a base such that it can be detached therefrom.
- the pack of batteries or rechargeable batteries can be replaced with a fresh or charged pack batteries or rechargeable batteries if the former has been used for so long that it cannot supply any more power.
- a hand-operated or foot-operated switch designed in the support structure can activate the illumination device.
- a hand-operated or foot-operated switch can be provided at a suitable location on the support structure. It is further possible to activate the illumination device using a remote control or a timer.
- the hand-operated or foot-operated switch is preferably designed in a support brace or in a base of the canopy according to the invention.
- the roof can comprise an optionally impregnated natural or synthetic fiber fabric, a bonded composite material made of a fabric and a plastic film, or only a plastic film. Furthermore, it is possible for the roof to be made of highly durable materials, for example, metal or plastic plates or glass. These materials are preferred, if a canopy is intended for long-term and permanent use.
