Lichterkettefairy lights

Die Neuerung bezieht sich auf eine Lichterkette.The innovation relates to a string of lights.

Aufgabe der Neuerung ist es, eine neuartige Lichterkette aufzuzeigen, die sich u.a. durch eine hohe Lebensdauer auszeichnet. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Lichterkette entsprechend dem Schutzanspruch 1 ausgebildet.The aim of the innovation is to demonstrate a new type of light chain that is characterized by, among other things, a long service life. To solve this problem, a light chain is designed in accordance with protection claim 1.

Weiterbildungen der Neuerung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. Die Neuerung wird anhand der Figur, die in vereinfachter Darstellung eine Lichterkette im Sinne der Neuerung in Form eines Lichtschlauches zeigt, erläutert.Further developments of the innovation are the subject of the subclaims. The innovation is explained using the figure, which shows a simplified representation of a string of lights in the sense of the innovation in the form of a light tube.

In der Figur ist 1 ein aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff hergestellter Schlauch. In diesem Schlauch ist eine Lichterkette gebildet, die aus einer Vielzahl von elektrisch in Serie geschalteten weißen Leuchtdioden 2 besteht, d.h. Leuchtdioden, die zur Abgabe eines weißen Lichtes ausgeführt sind. Für den Betrieb des Lichtschlauches dient eine Spannungsversorgung 3, die beispielsweise von einem Netzteil, von einer Batterie oder einer anderen geeigneten Einrichtung gebildet ist. Die Verwendung der weißen Leuchtdioden 2 hat gegenüber den sonst üblichen Glühlampen folgende Vorteile:In the figure, 1 is a tube made of transparent plastic. In this tube a string of lights is formed, which consists of a large number of white light-emitting diodes 2 connected electrically in series, i.e. light-emitting diodes that are designed to emit white light. The light tube is operated by a voltage supply 3, which is formed, for example, by a power supply unit, a battery or another suitable device. The use of the white light-emitting diodes 2 has the following advantages over the usual incandescent lamps:

Hohe LebensdauerLong life span

geringe Stromaufnahmelow power consumption

geringe Erwärmunglow warming

hohe Erschütterungsfestigkeithigh shock resistance

weiter Betriebstemperaturbereich.wide operating temperature range.

Aufgrund der geringen Leistungsaufnahme der Leuchtdioden 2 ist ein kleines Versorgungsteil 3 ausreichend.Due to the low power consumption of the LEDs 2, a small supply unit 3 is sufficient.

A1B302.DOCA1B302.DOC

Die Neuerung wurde voranstehend an einem Ausfuhrungsbeispiel beschrieben. Es versteht sich, daß Änderungen oder Abwandlungen möglich sind, ohne daß dadurch der die Neuerung tragende Erfindungsgedanke verlassen wird.The innovation was described above using an example. It goes without saying that changes or modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive concept underlying the innovation.

So ist es beispielsweise auch möglich, die Spannungsversorgung als aktive Steuereinrichtung derart auszubilden, daß die Leuchtdioden 2 nicht nur im Dauerbetrieb ein- oder ausgeschaltet werden, sondern blinken und/oder blitzartig aufleuchten. Weiterhin ist es bei entsprechender Verdrahtung der Leuchtdioden 2 und entsprechender Ausbildung der Spannungsversorgung auch möglich, einen Lauflichteffekt zu erzeugen.For example, it is also possible to design the power supply as an active control device in such a way that the LEDs 2 are not only switched on or off in continuous operation, but also flash and/or light up in a flash. Furthermore, with appropriate wiring of the LEDs 2 and appropriate design of the power supply, it is also possible to create a running light effect.

Grundsätzlich besteht natürlich auch die Möglichkeit, die Lichterkette ohne den Schlauch 1 auszubilden.In principle, it is of course also possible to create the light chain without the hose 1.
