Abstract

Internally lit lampshade or bowl shape is walled in transparent, translucent material and rests on a support surface on its bottom edges. Scent permeating the wall material evaporates slowly when heated and is thus liberated during shade use. The space enclosed by sides and top walls is sufficient for a lamp which stands on the support surface specified.

Lampshade that can be illuminated from the inside

The invention relates to a lampshade that can be illuminated from the inside and in particular a lampshade made of wax or a wax-like plastic or a lampshade-like bowl which placed on a stand above a heat-generating light source will. According to the invention, the material of the lampshade or the shell contains a fragrance substance which, when heated, penetrates the light source is emitted slowly.

There are various objects that are used in decorative arrangements in the center of the table, on mantels or other standing surfaces to achieve the desired decoration or decoration reach. A screen made of wax or a plastic that looks like wax in the form of a lampshade or with a glow from the inside The bowl is placed on a stand above a light source, which illuminates the bowl or the lampshade from the inside Such a lampshade or bowl with internal lighting is much more effective and beautiful, if a fragrance with which that Wax or the plastic that is impregnated is slowly emitted by the heat from the light source. An aesthetically pleasing one Fragrance that is released in this way underlines the attractive effect of such lampshades or bowls as mood lamps »

It is therefore an essential object of the invention

409886/0132

to create an aesthetically pleasing lampshade or bowl can be arranged on a stand using a light source, whereby the lampshade or the bowl is illuminated from the inside by the light source.

Another object of the invention is that the material of the lampshade or the shell made of wax or a wax-like plastic that is transparent to the passage of light from an internal light source.

Another object of the invention is that the wax or the material of the lampshade or the shell that looks like wax is impregnated with a scent-releasing material, which releases the scent when gently heated by the internal light source releases slowly.

Features of the invention necessary for achieving the objects mentioned above suitable include a lampshade or bowl made of transparent or translucent material such as wax or a wax-looking plastic a lampshade or bowl that is shaped to have an internal light source to be ordered and to close them. The light source can be a light bulb which, when switched on, gives heat and emits light. Furthermore, the material of the lampshade or the shell have a natural scent which gives off a pleasant aroma, or a pleasant scent can pass through a fragrance-emitting material can be produced with which the wax or the plastic of the lampshade or the bowl is continuously impregnated. The lampshade or the bowl is in his Size and shape designed for the impingement of the heat rays from the interior light source, thereby producing the desired slow speed Release of the fragrance from the material of the lampshade or the bowl into the atmosphere to create a pleasant fragrance to reach.

409886/0132

In summary, the invention consists of a lampshade or Shell made of wax or plastic that looks like wax, which is impregnated with a fragrance and over a heat-generating Light source is arranged. The heat from the light source releases the fragrance from the material of the lampshade to you to create the desired scent when the lampshade is used with the light source switched on.

In the following the invention with reference to some, in the drawings exemplified embodiments explained in more detail.

It shows:

made of wax or a plastic that looks like wax with translucent walls;

Figure 2 is a side sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Figure 1, wherein the lampshade is set up on a stand and a light source includes, which is also arranged on the stand area;

In the drawings, the lampshade or shell 10 is according to the Figures 1 and 2 illustrated as a hollow, truncated pyramid, which has four inclined side walls 11, 12, 13 and -Ii * made of translucent or transparent material, the lower edges of which rest on a standing surface 15. The side wall

409886/0132

fertilize ends at the upper edge in the upper wall 16, the Side and top walls enclose a cavity of sufficient size to accommodate a source 17 which is in the form of a Incandescent lamp is provided on an independently operated battery-powered power source 18, which is also on the stand 15 is set up. The translucent or transparent material of the lampshade consists of wax or a plastic with a pleasant natural fragrance or the material is impregnated with a fragrance that is moderately warm in operation of the lampshade, when the internal light source 17 is switched on, is released to produce the desired fragrance will. The incandescent lamp used as the light source 17 is such that it provides the necessary massive heating of the walls of the lampshade to slowly release the fragrance. It is obvious that the walls of the lampshade in such a It must be arranged at a distance from the light source that sufficient heating is achieved in order to generate the fragrance to release the desired fragrance. The upper wall 16 is provided with an opening 19 so that the inside of the lampshade 10 released fragrance can flow to the outside. It should be emphasized that the incandescent lamp 17 is also on a Stator can be arranged instead of the independent power source 18, in which case the feed line is connected to an external energy source leads. (Details are not shown.)

The lampshade or the shell 20 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 is designed in the form of a hollow, hemispherical, translucent wall 21 made of wax or a plastic, which has a circular lower edge 22 which rests on a standing surface 23. The incandescent lamp 17 'of the battery-operated power supply 18' _$, which also exists on the base 23, provides the interior lighting of the shell 20 to generate an aesthetically pleasing incandescent light through the translucent wall 21. An opening, such as the opening 19 of the embodiment according to FIGS Figures 1 and 2 can in the embodiment according to

409886/0132

Figures 3 and 4 may be provided, but in some embodiments there is sufficient heating of the translucent Wall around a slow release of the fragrance directly to the outlet, to reach senluft from the outer surfaces of the walls of the lampshade. The wax or plastic that makes up the translucent Wall 21 consists, has either a pleasant natural fragrance, or is intentionally impregnated with a fragrance, which is released during the massive heating of the incandescent lamp 17 to produce a pleasant fragrance when the incandescent lamp is turned on and the bowl or lampshade 20 illuminates is.

Although in the foregoing the invention with reference to some Having illustrated and described embodiments, it will be apparent that various changes may be made can without departing from the basic idea of the invention.

All of those mentioned in the description and in the drawings recognizable technical details are important for the invention.
