Abstract

Planter with LED string lights, characterized in that in the outer wall of the pot LEDs are embedded, the light cone are directed to the outside.

Description

A flowerpot of conventional design is a vessel for holding plants together with soil. It is an upwardly open hollow body. As a rule, a flower pot consists of an outer planter and an inner pot. Materials for the outer planter include clay, terracotta, porcelain, glass, wood or ceramics. The inner pot is made of plastic (polyvinyl chloride). A flower pot is usually between 10 and 50 cm high, whereby there are also very small (height <10 cm) and very large specimens (height> 50 cm). Flowerpots are available in different versions: round, square, oval. Hereinafter, for reasons of simplicity, the term "planter" is used, meaning all flowerpots of conventional design, in which a planting would be possible. About lighting elements has a planter conventional design not.

The utility model "flower pot with LED lighting" (file number: 20 2011 107 549.8) is known. The invention described below is clearly different from this utility model. The utility model "Flower pot with LED lighting" refers to LED spotlights that are recessed at the top of the pot and face up to illuminate the plant. The invention described here is a planter with integrated LED string lights. The power supply of the fairy lights can be done in two different ways. On the one hand, the light chain can be operated by accumulator, which in turn is charged via a solar panel. On the other hand, the power supply of the fairy lights can be realized by 230 Volt power supply. In the outer pot of the Pflannzgefäßes a hole is drilled for each LED according to the number of LEDs of the fairy lights. Each hole picks up a LED of the fairy lights. The LEDs are all outwards - never up - illuminating the immediate environment of the pot and never the plant inside it. In the outer pot with integrated LED string lights an inner pot is used, this allows the conventional use of the planter.

• • Anzahl der verwendeten LEDs (10 < 1000)
• • Farbe der LEDs (z. B.: rot, rosa, weiß, kaltweiß, warmweiß, blau, grün, mehrfarbig)
• • Material des Topfes (Stein, Porzellan, Holz, Ton, Glas, Keramik, Kunststoff)
• • Form/Größe des Topfes (Durchmesser von 10 bis 200 cm)

The registration subject "planter with integrated LED light string" is thus composed of an outer pot, one or more LED string lights with a power supply (solar / 230 V) and an inner pot together. The following components can be customized on request of the customer:

• • Number of LEDs used (10 <1000)
• • Color of the LEDs (eg: red, pink, white, cool white, warm white, blue, green, multicolored)
• • material of the pot (stone, porcelain, wood, clay, glass, ceramics, plastic)
• • Shape / size of the pot (diameter from 10 to 200 cm)

• • Akkumulator (AA) – integriert in ein Solarpanel, welches das Ende der LED-Lichterkette bildet. Durch ein Loch nahe dem Boden des Topfes ist ein Kabel nach außen geführt, so kann das Solarpanel etwas abseits des Topfes platziert werden
• • Steckernetzteil (230 Volt) – mit Schalter und Zuleitung

The power supply takes over depending on the version:

• • Accumulator (AA) - integrated into a solar panel, which forms the end of the LED light string. Through a hole near the bottom of the pot, a cable is led to the outside, so the solar panel can be placed slightly away from the pot
• • Plug-in power supply unit (230 Volt) - with switch and supply cable

Is used in protection claim 1 invention, both for direct and indirect lighting in outdoor and indoor use. The invention can be used for the indirect illumination of various premises and open spaces. It would be conceivable for outdoor use for commercial purposes: in a beach bar and / or beer garden, in the entrance area of a hotel or a restaurant, but also in the private sector as lighting for the entrance / entrance area, the garden, the balcony, the terrace or porch , But even indoors, the planters can be used as an excellent design tool.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to on page 3. shows:
