Elektrische Kerzen sind ausschliesslich mit Netzspannung 220 V/50 Hz als Beleuchtungskörper zu betreiben.Electric candles are only available with a mains voltage of 220 V / 50 Hz Operate lighting fixtures.

Der im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine elektrische netzunabhängige Kerze, die automatisch bei Dämmerung aufleuchtet und bei Beleuchtung wieder dunkel wird, zu schaffen.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem an electric off-grid candle that automatically turns on at dusk lights up and becomes dark again when illuminated.

Dieses Problem wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale, daß die batteriebetriebene Kerze mit zunehmender Dämmerung automatisch aufleuchtet und bei Beleuchtung wieder dunkel wird und netzunabhängig ist, gelöst.This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1, that the battery operated candle automatically with increasing twilight lights up and becomes dark again when it is illuminated and is independent of the mains, solved.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß die Kerze eine Anwendung in Umgebung ohne Stromanschluß als Orientierungs­ punkte, in dunklen Räumen oder in Gaststätten (als intime Beleuchtung), Kirchen oder als Friedhöfekerzen und als Beleuchtung von Kinder- Puppeneinrichtung (Spielzeugware) finden kann.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the Candle an application in an environment without a power connection as a guide dots, in dark rooms or in restaurants (as intimate lighting), Churches or as cemetery candles and as lighting for children's Doll furnishings (toys) can be found.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnungen dargestellt.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is in the drawings shown.

Abb. 2 Schnitt durch den Deckel der Kerze mit Beispiel der Bestückung der Platine (5). Fig. 2 Section through the lid of the candle with an example of the assembly of the board ( 5 ).

Die batteriebetriebene Kerze besteht aus einem Kunststoffrohr (1) von einem Durchmesser gemäß verwendeter Batteriegröße, einem Deckel (2) und einem Boden (3), der mit einer Feder (4) versehen ist für den Kontakt mit dem Minus-Pol der Batterie (9).The battery-operated candle consists of a plastic tube ( 1 ) with a diameter according to the battery size used, a cover ( 2 ) and a base ( 3 ), which is provided with a spring ( 4 ) for contact with the negative pole of the battery ( 9 ).

Der Minus-Pol der Batterie (9) ist mit einem Metallstreifen (6) durch den Kerzenkörper (1) unter die Platine (5) geführt.The minus pole of the battery ( 9 ) is guided with a metal strip ( 6 ) through the candle body ( 1 ) under the circuit board ( 5 ).

Die Platine (5) ist einseitig mit Kupferauflage (untere Seite) versehen, um die Kontakte des Minus-Pols der Batterie (9) und des Fotowiderstandes (10) zu gewährleisten und für die Bestückung der Platine gem. Abb. 3.The circuit board ( 5 ) is provided on one side with a copper coating (lower side) to ensure the contacts of the negative pole of the battery ( 9 ) and the photo resistor ( 10 ) and for equipping the circuit board acc. Fig. 3.

Die Platine (5) ist gem. elektr. Schema nach Abb. 3 mit einem Trimer- Widerstand, einer LED-Diode mit Transistor und Fotowiderstand bestückt. In der Mitte der Platine (5) befindet sich ein leitender Kontakt für den Plus- Pol der Batterie (9).The board ( 5 ) is gem. elec. Scheme according to Fig. 3 equipped with a trimer resistor, an LED diode with transistor and photo resistor. In the middle of the board ( 5 ) there is a conductive contact for the positive pole of the battery ( 9 ).

Die Platine (5) ist mit einem Ausschnitt (11) versehen, um eine unverwechsel­ bare Lage der Platine (5) gegenüber dem Minus-Pol und der Anschlüsse des Fotowiderstandes (10) zu gewährleisten.The circuit board ( 5 ) is provided with a cutout ( 11 ) in order to ensure an unmistakable position of the circuit board ( 5 ) with respect to the negative pole and the connections of the photoresistor ( 10 ).

Der Deckel (2) der Kerze ist im Kerzenkörper (1) eingepresst, so dass die Platine (5) eine feste Verbindung mit dem Minus-Pol und dem Fotowiderstand bekommt. In der Mitte des Deckels (2) ist ein Loch für Durchstecken der LED- Diode (7), die an der Platine (5) angelötet ist.The lid ( 2 ) of the candle is pressed into the candle body ( 1 ), so that the circuit board ( 5 ) gets a firm connection with the minus pole and the photo resistor. In the middle of the cover ( 2 ) is a hole for pushing through the LED diode ( 7 ), which is soldered to the circuit board ( 5 ).

Über die LED-Diode (7) ist ein Docht (8) aus Plexiglas in Form eines Kegels mit matt geschliffener Oberfläche, die als Glasfaser für das Licht wirkt. Der Fotowiderstand (10) ist in der Wand des Kerzenkörpers (1) eingesetzt.About the LED diode ( 7 ) is a wick ( 8 ) made of plexiglass in the form of a cone with a matt ground surface, which acts as a glass fiber for the light. The photoresistor ( 10 ) is inserted in the wall of the candle body ( 1 ).

Ein Beispiel der Bestückung der Platine (5) zeigt die Abb. 2 mit dem Ausschnitt (11).An example of the assembly of the board ( 5 ) is shown in Fig. 2 with the cutout ( 11 ).

In der Abb. 3 ist das elektr. Schema der batteriebetriebenen Kerze dargestellt. Im Grunde handelt es sich um einen Spannungsteiler, der aus dem Widerstand (Tr) und Fotowiderstand (FW) besteht und als Schalter ein Transistor mit LED-Diode im Kollektor eingeschaltet ist. In Fig. 3, the electr. Scheme of the battery operated candle shown. Basically, it is a voltage divider that consists of the resistor (Tr) and photo resistor (FW) and a transistor with LED diode in the collector is switched on as a switch.

Die Schaltung reagiert so, daß bei zunehmender Dämmerung die LED-Diode aufleuchtet und bei angefallenem Licht auf den Fotowiderstand dunkel wird. Damit ist ein langfristiger Betrieb der batteriebetriebenen Kerze garantiert.The circuit reacts in such a way that with increasing twilight the LED diode lights up and darkens when the light falls on the photo resistor. This guarantees long-term operation of the battery-operated candle.
