Description

The invention relates to a decoration device, in particular a mirror, comprising at least one frame element, which is provided for receiving mirror elements, wherein from the viewing side, a rear mirror element is reflective and a front mirror element is at least partially transparent.

Generic exhibition and decoration facilities are offered for hanging and consist of a frame element, which is equipped with glass or Plexiglas panes. Due to partially reflecting surfaces and a lateral illumination a multiple reflection is achieved, which leads to a spatial depth for the viewer. In a geometrical arrangement of the lighting elements, a pattern arranged in the depth is achieved in this way, which is determined by the lighting elements.

The present invention has for its object to increase the design variety and to improve the visual effect.

According to the invention, it is provided to solve the problem that between the front mirror element and the rear mirror element, a surface element is arranged, which has at least one motif. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

By using a surface element between a front and a rear mirror element, it is possible to arrange the desired motif in or on the surface element, so that any design of the motif can take place. Here, the motif is mirrored several times due to the at least partially reflective surfaces of the front and rear mirror element, so that a 3-dimensional representation is created. In accordance with the depth of incorporation, a particularly high depth representation is achieved in this case, as a result of which an additional spatial representation becomes possible. The motif is only visible to a viewer when the lighting elements are turned on, otherwise the decoration device acts like a normal mirror with frame. Advantageously, in this way preferably advertising motifs, landscapes or religious motifs when switching on the lighting means visible, the motif can consist of any shapes, images, fonts or symbols. For example, works of art, objects or buildings can also be used as a motif.

Advantageously, the motif can be arranged on the front or on the rear side of the surface element. Alternatively, the motif can be arranged on both sides of the surface element for an additional 3D effect, wherein complementary or different motif elements on the front or back can be used.

The motif can be engraved, milled, etched or cut out on the back and / or front side of the surface element. For a faster and cheaper production, the motif can be engraved by laser. The engraved, milled or etched motif on the surface element may have different contour shapes, such as wedge, round, rectangular or triangular. Similar contours can also be engraved into the surface element using a laser.

In a preferred embodiment of the decoration device, the depth of the motif, depending on the thickness of the surface element has a value of 0.1 to 10 mm. Preferably, a depth of 1 to 3 mm is used. But it is conceivable for thicker surface elements a depth of more than 10 mm.

In order to increase the reflective effect, a multiple and stepwise elaboration of the motif in the surface element can take place according to the invention.

For a simple construction of the decoration device, it is advantageous that the main components, such as the two front and rear mirror elements and the surface element made of glass or Plexiglas, for example, PMMA or acrylic glass. Basically, however, any materials are suitable for the mirror elements and the surface element, which are suitable as reflective surfaces or for incorporation of such a motif.

For a multi-reflective effect, the rear mirror element must consist of a reflective surface. The surface may consist of a mirror foil or a pane of glass or Plexiglas, for example of PMMA or acrylic glass, wherein the disc is coated with a reflective material. The coating can be made of any material suitable for mirror fabrication. It is even conceivable to manufacture the mirror element made of wood or metal, which is provided with a suitable mirror foil or coating on the front side.

In another preferred embodiment of the decoration device, a mirror foil or coating on the rear Side of the surface element glued or applied. Thus, the production costs and times can be reduced. It is also conceivable sticking a mirror foil on the front side of the surface element, wherein the mirror foil is at least partially translucent.

In a preferred embodiment of the decoration device, the front and rear mirror element and the surface element are bordered and surrounded by a frame. Alternatively, the frame may be concealed with the front mirror element.

The frame member may be made of any materials that are suitable for the production of a frame and are arbitrarily worked out and designed.

In order to give the motif a three-dimensional spatial representation, lighting elements are integrated in the frame element in a preferred embodiment of the invention. The lighting elements may be individual LEDs or conventional bulbs, which are distributed over the circumference of the frame member, or alternatively consist of LED strips. By multiple reflection of the light between the rear mirror element and the front mirror element with partially transparent property, the motif, which is located on the front and / or rear side of the surface element, repeatedly mirrored and imaged one behind the other, so that a 3D motif is created.

In addition, the LEDs may have a color change function, which is controllable with a remote control.

The invention will be explained again below with reference to FIGS.

1 shows the schematic side view of a preferred embodiment of a decorative device 100 comprising a frame member 4 , two mirror elements 1 . 2 , a surface element 3 and over the circumference of the frame member 4 distributed LED's 7.

2 shows the main components of the decoration device 100 for displaying a decorative 3-dimensional motif 8th , In the first preferred embodiment is a front mirror element 1 and a rear mirror element 2 as well as a surface element 3 in a frame element 4 used. From the observer side, the decoration device 100 therefore has a rear mirror element 1 and a front mirror element 2 on. Between the rear 2 and front mirror elements 1 is the surface element 3 arranged, which is a motive 8th having.

In a preferred embodiment, the mirror elements 1 . 2 coated. The rear mirror element 1 is on the back side with a reflective material 6 coated. Alternatively, on the front side of the rear mirror element 1 glued on a mirror foil.

On the back side of the front mirror element 2 is in the preferred embodiment, a partially transparent mirror foil 5 glued, which the multiple reflection between the front mirror element 2 and the rear mirror element 1 causes.

3 shows a schematic view of the decoration device 100 with the lighting off. In the preferred embodiment of the decoration device 100, those are in the periphery of the frame element 4 distributed LED's 7 in 3 shown. The motif 8th , which in the preferred embodiment is on the surface element 3 is not visible when the lights are off. This is because the front mirror element is only partially translucent. The front surface of the mirror element 2 acts as a mirror and does not allow insight into the interior of the frame element 4 ,

In the switched-on state of the lighting elements 7 becomes the motif 8th illuminated from the side and several times between the mirror elements 1 . 2 reflected. The multiple reflection is after switching on the lighting elements 7 to recognize immediately, because the glued-on mirror foil 5 on the back side of the front mirror element 2 partially translucent and thus the multiple reflection is visible to the viewer. Through multiple reflection of the subject 8th Thus, a 3-dimensional motif is perceived by the viewer. In a preferred embodiment, the LEDs 7 are in the frame element 4 integrated and attached to the side, with a remote control, a color change or dimming is possible. The motifs are freely selectable and may, for example, consist of advertising objects, landscapes, buildings or religious motifs.
