Description

The invention relates to a ceiling or wall element with a foam layer and a peripheral, an opening limiting carrier, wherein the carrier supports a lighting element.

Ceiling or wall elements of the type in question are known. These serve primarily for sound absorption, but are also preferably designed as decorative elements. Ceiling elements are also known as so-called ceiling canopies. The envisaged foam layer is acoustically effective, thus serving correspondingly to the sound absorption. Here, the foam layer can be held indirectly or directly on the support on the wall or the ceiling. Also, the foam layer may be in the opening provided by the carrier. Open-cell foams, in particular melamine resin foams, are also known in this regard.

The lighting element is used for direct or indirect illumination of the environment and / or for backlighting of the element.

In view of the known prior art, a technical problem of the invention is seen in a ceiling or wall element of the type in question in an advantageous manner to further improve.

A possible solution of the problem is given according to a first idea of the invention in a ceiling or wall element, which is based on the fact that the carrier further holds a ceramic layer which is mounted independently of the lighting element on the support, covering the opening and the lighting element at least partially acted upon by radiation.

The ceramic layer may in particular be a decorative layer of the ceiling or wall element. This may further be a porcelain plant.

The ceramic layer is a hard layer and thus acoustically preferably not effective in terms of sound absorption. However, especially with a spacing of the foam layer to a wall or ceiling, a sound attenuation can be achieved, for example, by lateral or rearward sound entry into the foam layer.

The ceramic layer can be formed in one piece and in this case have at least approximately the outline dimensions of the foam layer. Preferably, the foam layer is completely covered by the ceramic layer.

Due to the rearward arrangement of the foam layer, the ceramic layer is protected, for example, during transport at least from one side, in particular shock-proof.

The coupling of the light can be made selectively or in terms of area, so for example. About (part) surfaces of the broad side of the ceramic layer and / or over one or more marginal edges.

In connection with the lighting results in an at least partial Durchscheineffekt in the ceramic layer. For this purpose, the ceramic layer may be formed relatively thin at least in the coupling region, so that light shines through.

The ceramic layer may be directly connected to the carrier. Preferably, the ceramic layer is not tool-free or non-destructive connected to the carrier. More preferably, the ceramic layer can be screwed, riveted or glued to the carrier, wherein the holding forces are preferably applied solely by the connecting means, for example. Through the adhesive layer.

Also, the ceramic layer may be arranged on the edge in overlapping with the carrier. With a view to a visible in the arrangement state wide area, the ceramic layer can cover both the carrier, as well as the foam layer and more preferably also the bulb.

The ceramic layer can with the foam layer and / or the carrier at the edge, possibly peripherally edge side, complete. Also, the ceramic layer, possibly circumferentially, survive over the edge of the foam layer and / or the carrier. In this case, a lighting element can be arranged in a remaining covering area, as it were in the shadow of the ceramic layer.

The lighting element may be a conventional high or low voltage lighting means. An LED illuminant, for example in the form of an LED foil for areal illumination, is preferred. Used as a surface light, the lighting element can be arranged in the opening, in this case preferably at least approximately filling the opening.

Also, the lighting element may be a light bar, preferably an LED light bar.

When the lighting element is designed as a light strip, it can be arranged parallel to a peripheral edge of the ceramic layer, alternatively along two mutually parallel peripheral edges or along all peripheral edges.

Preferably, the lighting element is attached to the carrier, so for example. Screw or adhesive attached. Also, the lighting element may be held by under-grip in the carrier.

Also, the ceramic layer may be perforated for sound transmission. According to this embodiment, sound can pass through the ceramic layer and be damped by the underlying foam layer. The perforation may be provided by through holes and / or slots in the ceramic layer, wherein optionally provided holes may have a diameter of, for example. 0.5 to 2 mm, preferably about 1 mm.

The foam layer can be arranged (with respect to a conventional viewing direction on the ceiling or wall element in use position) immediately behind the ceramic layer. Immediately here also includes a minimum distance between the facing surfaces of ceramic layer and foam layer of up to 5 mm.

Further, the ceramic layer viewed perpendicular to the width extension preferably has a thickness of 5 to 20 mm, preferably about 10 mm.

The ceramic layer can be engraved, in particular engraved jewelry, for example, to form a lithophane. It is a relief in a translucent material, such as. Porcelain or glass, which unfolds their effect only in the backlight or with appropriate illumination.

A jewelry engraving can be, for example, a logo (company logo) or a picture / a drawing. Also, so writings can be visible only with activation of the bulb. This results in a surprising effect for the viewer with switching on the lighting.

When using the arrangement as a ceiling element this can be suspended by ropes or rods at a distance from the ceiling. This results in an advantageous manner at the same time a favorable sound absorption. Also, a wall element can be fixed with rods at a distance to a wall.

Alternatively, an immediate arrangement of the element on the wall or ceiling is possible.

With regard to the disclosure, the ranges and / or ranges of values or multiple ranges given above also include all intermediate values, in particular in one-tenth steps of the respective dimension, if appropriate thus dimensionless. For example, the indication 5-20 mm also includes the disclosure of 5.1-20 mm, 5-19.9 mm, 5.1-19.9 mm, 7.3-13.7 mm, etc. This disclosure can on the one hand to Limiting a specified range limit from below and / or above, alternatively or additionally, but also for the disclosure of one or more singular values from a respective specified range serve.
