Description
Technical field
The disclosure generally relates to advertising logo, and relates more specifically to risk using one or more flexible LED fluorescent tubes
Title or the advertising sign for creating logo, wherein LED lamp tube is embedded in required to create in the backing of specific shape arrangement
Art.
Background technique
Simulated log be always for a long time shop, bar or other commercial undertakings to public awareness campaign from article is sold to opening
The means of door or all things closed the door.Past, these marks are traditionally using made of neon tube.Although neon tube has been beauty
The most basic part in state restaurant and bar industries, but in the past 100 years, they are far from perfect product.
Intrinsic problem first is that creating neon beacon with shape needed for specific in the creation and use of neon light mark
The difficulty and expense of will.In order to manufacture single rainbow modulation element (and some marks have many different elements), glass bend
Glass tube is bent to required shape by bent device.Many neon light marks are using ribbon burners, cannon burner and intersect fire
The combination of flame carrys out bending forming, each of therein to assign glass tube different shapes.Creation process can also include addition one
Layer or multilayer phosphor layer, or even by the different piece butt welding of glass tube together to generate different colors.Face
It normally further includes certain combination for adding pure neon, argon gas even mercury that color, which is created,.Then neon tube can be made to ionize by electrification,
Mercury is evaporated, mercury vapour is generated.
By melting or being welded to each open end of pipe for cold cathode electrode come " sealing " pipe.Electrode be it is hollow and
Lead glass is generally comprised, two conducting wires are prominent with wiring signal or direct wiring A/C electric current from lead glass.Then by the big portion of pipe
Divide air emptying, with formation " vacuum tube ", and by low-pressure air " bombardment " high current and voltage in pipe, to ensure electrode
Sufficiently heating is without damaging glass tube.Other several programs " clean enough " inside neon tube are complete before finally filling to carry out
At.In this last filling, it is used as gas using one of neon, argon, krypton, xenon or helium or a variety of usually dripped together with mercury with one
Body.Then other neon tubes on final neon tube and rack are fitted together to form required display, and various electricity draw
Line is attached to generate final mark.
Other than the time needed for make neon light mark, for manufacturing the gas and other chemical combination of neon light mark
There is also health and environmental problems for object --- especially mercury ---.In fact, Bureau for Environmental Protection is to impaired or no longer need
The processing of neon light mark has specific guilding principle.In addition, some cities of the United States and abroad or even some foreign governments are
Through being forbidden to use part or all of neon light because of mercury content and/or high-energy source use.
Due to these problems, many sign manufacturers (and products thereof buyer) prefer using light emitting diode
(LED) rather than neon light.LED mark manufacture is initially attempted to include being placed on single led in specific pattern and using
Coloured light transmitting sheet covers them to generate the appearance of coloured neon light mark.This has clearly a need for sizable effort, because
It is single led to be placed with specific pattern, it is connected to electric current, is then covered to imitate the appearance of neon light.
An example of this technology can be found in the United States Patent (USP) US 7,721,475 of Chiang, which instructs
A kind of sign panel with LED becomes, as the title of patent is implied, " the neon lighting mark of simulation ", certain portions
Divide and be painted, other parts are highlighted with certain colors.Although this patent avoid environmental problem relevant to mercury and
Time needed for manufacturing neon tube, but it is still time intensive, as shown in appended drawing reference 91 in Fig. 5.In addition, because neon light
Mark simulation (for example, without skeleton appearance of real neon light mark), thus generated simulation neon beacon aims at regarding
It is not convincing in feel.
With the appearance of the band for the LED being electrically connected to each other, some manufacturers start for these LED strips to be fixed into specific
Pattern, it is therefore an objective to reduce creation final products the time it takes.It is public in the U.S. of Enhance Neon Technologies
The benefit for retaining neon light in the case where no environmental problem attempted recently can be found by opening in US 2017/278,438,
And reduce the example that craftsman creates mark the time it takes.Equally, such as the name of assignee/inventor name and invention
Claim --- " simulation neon light " --- to be implied, target be imitate the appearance of neon light, and avoid neon light environment and when
Between limit.In this invention, light bar has been mounted to PCB substrate and/or has been sandwiched between many other layers to be formed most
Mark eventually.Very similar technology can be found in the WO 2011/025,489 of Kaoh, it also offers a kind of utilizations to adjust
The sandwich component of more than two lamp bars of perfect square formula attachment.
Although the above-cited prior art is successfully by light bar --- rather than a succession of LED light is separately fastened ---
It is integrated in mark, but is sandwiched between multiple layers on how to which light bar is fixed into specific shape, then will
Multiple figure layers are fixed in a desired direction almost without guidance.Other than placing additional interlayer on it, there are no passes
In the guidance for how making LED imitate neon light appearance.Therefore, it is urgent to provide a kind of luminous sign, wherein lamp bar can be easily
It is manipulated and is maintained in required shape, and wherein lamp bar itself is capable of providing neon light appearance without volume
Outer layer.
The prior art it is a further drawback that when manufacturing its multilayer lighting device manufacturer dependent at least one injection molding
Part.The cost that the single mold of these templates can be manufactured easily spends $ 25,000 or more.This cost must be married again
To the buyer of mark, therefore for the company for wishing a small amount of mark (for example, 500 or less) of only purchase, Mei Gebiao
" share " of the Die price of will may be so high that go against accepted conventions.This causes many enterprises not order the mark that they want, and is permitted
More manufacturers do not obtain business from indication of manufacture.
