MØBELBEN MED LYSFURNITURE BENCH WITH LIGHT
Opfindelsen angår et møbel, som er beregnet til at stå på et gulv på møbelben, hvilket møbel er udstyret med lys. Opfindelsen angår endvidere en me-5 tode til at oplyse et gulvareal omkring et møbel.The invention relates to a piece of furniture which is intended to stand on a floor of furniture legs, which furniture is equipped with light. The invention further relates to a method for illuminating a floor area around a piece of furniture.
BaggrundBackground
Ordentlig belysning er af stor betydning for personers velvære og funktionali-tet, og måden lyset falder på, dets intensitet og sammensætning påvirker 10 mennesker såvel ubevidst som bevidst. Der er derfor udviklet lamper og lyskilder til et utal af specielle formål, placeringer og situationer, således også lamper eller lys til placering på eller belysning af møbler.Proper lighting is of great importance to the well-being and functionality of people, and the way the light falls, its intensity and composition affect 10 people, both subconsciously and consciously. Therefore, lamps and light sources have been developed for a number of special purposes, locations and situations, thus also lamps or lights for placement on or lighting of furniture.
I forbindelse med belysning i soveværelser og omkring senge er der ud over 15 en generel oplysning af rummet ofte behov for eller ønske om lys umiddelbart i nærheden af sengen, som er velegnet til eksempelvis læsning i sengen. Endvidere er det ofte nødvendigt med en natbelysning i rummet, dels i form af et natlys til at give især mindre børn en tilstrækkelig tryg h edsfølel se for at falde i søvn eller bare være alene i sengen, og dels i form af orienteringslys.In connection with lighting in bedrooms and around beds, in addition to 15 a general lighting of the room is often needed or desired for light immediately near the bed, which is suitable for, for example, reading in bed. Furthermore, a night light is often needed in the room, partly in the form of a night light to give especially younger children a sufficiently safe feeling to fall asleep or just be alone in bed, and partly in the form of orientation lights.
20 Sidstnævnte type lys er praktisk til at kunne orientere sig i rummet om natten, hvis man skal op og ud af sengen eksempelvis for at gå på toilettet, trøste grædende børn, strække benene el.lign. Til disse formål er udviklet talrige natlamper til forskellige placeringer fortrinsvis på sengen eller i umiddelbar nærhed heraf. En række forskellige ulemper er imidlertid forbundet ved de 25 kendte former for natbelysning.20 The latter type of light is convenient for orienting yourself in the room at night if you have to get up and out of bed, for example to go to the toilet, comfort crying children, stretch legs or the like. For these purposes, numerous night lights for various locations have been developed preferably on the bed or in the immediate vicinity thereof. However, a variety of disadvantages are associated with the 25 known forms of night lighting.
Ved sædvanlige sengelamper enten placeret på væggen, på sengen eller lignende udsættes personen for den samme lysmængde i sengen som i rummet, og lyset må altså slukkes for ikke at skulle virke forstyrrende på ind-30 sovningen eller nattesøvnen. Omvendt skal lyset tændes for at kunne orientere sig ved det, hvilket kan være en overordentlig besværlig handling i halv- s 2 DK 176565 B1 sovende tilstand og i mørke. Ligeledes er det nødvendigt med flere kontakter til samme lys, hvis dette skal anvendes til at finde hen til sengen, når man kommer ind i rummet.With ordinary bedside lamps either placed on the wall, on the bed or the like, the person is exposed to the same amount of light in the bed as in the room, so the light must be switched off so as not to interfere with the bedroom or the night's sleep. Conversely, the light must be turned on in order to orientate it, which can be an extremely troublesome act in the half-sleep state and in the dark. Also, multiple switches for the same light are needed if this is to be used to find the bed when entering the room.
5 Endvidere findes forskellige lamper til natbelysning, som lægges på gulvet under sengen eller sættes fast under sengen. Disse er imidlertid ufordelagtige ved dels at fordre en vis plads og besværliggøre rengøring og dels ved at være naturligt hindret i at kunne stråle ud i alle retninger, idet de i et vist omfang er dækket af sengen. Andre lamper, som i stedet placeres yderligt på 10 sengen, eksempelvis på sengebenene, er på den anden side problematiske ved dels at være eksponerede for stød og dels igen oplyse rummet i generende grad for en indsovende eller sovende person i sengen.5 In addition, various night-light lamps are placed on the floor under the bed or fixed under the bed. However, these are disadvantageous by partly requiring some space and making cleaning difficult and partly by being naturally prevented from being able to radiate in all directions, since they are covered to some extent by the bed. On the other hand, other lamps, which are placed further on the bed, for example on the bed legs, are problematic by being exposed to shock and in part illuminating the room to a nuisance to a sleeping or sleeping person in the bed.
Formål og beskrivelse af opfindelsen 15 Det er formålet med opfindelsen at frembringe en ideel belysning primært til soverum, som kan give et optimalt orienteringslys uden at genere en person i sengen, og således at ovennævnte problemer undgås.OBJECT AND DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It is the object of the invention to provide an ideal lighting primarily for bedrooms which can provide an optimal orientation light without bothering a person in bed, thus avoiding the above problems.
Nærværende opfindelse angår således et møbelben med lys til et møbel ind-20 rettet til at stå på et gulv, hvilket møbelben, orienteret som i monteret tilstand på møblet, omfatter mindst en skive i det mindste delvist af et gennemsigtigt materiale monteret under møbelbenet samt mindst en lyskilde ligeledes placeret under møbelbenet, således at lyskilden er helt eller delvist afskærmet opadtil af møbel benet og kan lyse ud gennem skiven i retninger hen over 25 gulvet.The present invention thus relates to a furniture leg with light for a furniture adapted to stand on a floor, the furniture leg, oriented as in mounted condition on the furniture, comprises at least one disc at least partially of a transparent material mounted under the furniture leg and at least a light source is also placed under the furniture leg so that the light source is partially or completely shielded upwards by the furniture leg and can light out through the disc in directions over the floor.
Herved opnås en optimal natbelysning, når møbelbenet er monteret på et møbel. Dels kan belysningen tjene til at virke beroligende på børn, uden at det vil genere deres søvn og indsovning, idet rummets gulvflade vil blive lyst 30 op, men på en sådan måde at en person i sengen ikke vil kunne se belysningen. Lyset er samtidig fordelagtigt ved at være et optimalt orienteringslys, 3 DK 176565 B1 idet gulvfladen lyses op, ligesom de længst udstikkende elementer og eventuelle genstande på gulvet belyses. Selvom lyset ifølge opfindelsen placeres frit eksponeret og kan stråle frit i tilnærmelsesvis alle retninger 360 grader rundt, er lyset samtidig omkapslet af materiale og udgør derfor en robust lam-5 pe, som ikke let kan blive beskadiget. Ved placeringen af belysningen ifølge opfindelsen integreres lyset i møblet, hvorved opnås det fordelagtige, at man undgår ekstraudstyr under møblet, hvilket er en fordel ved at lette rengøring under møblet betragteligt. Samtidig oplyses arealet under møblet, hvorved støv og snavs lettere kan ses, hvilket vil medføre, at rengøring under møblet 10 kan udføres bedre og grundigere.This provides an optimal night light when the furniture leg is mounted on a piece of furniture. In part, the lighting can serve to soothe children without disturbing their sleep and sleep, as the floor area of the room will be lit 30, but in such a way that a person in bed will not be able to see the lighting. The light is also advantageous by being an optimal orientation light, as the floor surface is illuminated, as are the longest protruding elements and any objects on the floor. Although the light according to the invention is placed freely exposed and can radiate freely in almost all directions 360 degrees, the light is simultaneously encased in material and therefore constitutes a robust lamp which cannot be easily damaged. In the placement of the lighting according to the invention, the light is integrated into the furniture, thereby obtaining the advantage of avoiding extras under the furniture, which is an advantage of considerably facilitating cleaning under the furniture. At the same time, the area under the furniture is illuminated, making it easier to see dust and dirt, which will allow cleaning under the furniture 10 to be performed better and more thoroughly.
I en udførselsform af opfindelsen udsender den mindst ene lyskilde lys i tilnærmelsesvis 360 grader rundt om møbelbenet. Herved opnås at hele gulvarealet omkring hvert møbelben belyses, og man således kan orientere sig til 15 alle sider.In one embodiment of the invention, the at least one light source emits light at approximately 360 degrees around the furniture leg. This ensures that the entire floor area around each piece of furniture is illuminated, so that one can orient to 15 all sides.
Endnu en udførselsform angår et møbelben ifølge ovenstående, hvor den mindst ene skive er fremstillet af plexiglas eller glas. Disse materialer er fordelagtige ved at være billige samt ved at kunne bære en stor vægt fra møb-20 let.Another embodiment relates to a furniture leg according to the above, wherein the at least one disc is made of plexiglass or glass. These materials are advantageous by being cheap as well as being able to carry a large weight from furniture-20 easily.
I endnu en udførselsform er den mindst ene lyskilde placeret helt eller delvist i et hulrum i den mindst ene skive.In yet another embodiment, the at least one light source is located wholly or partially in a cavity of the at least one disc.
25 Yderligere en udførselsform er yderligere omfattende en sensor placeret under den mindst ene skive, hvilken sensor måler tyngdeændringer, og hvilke målinger anvendes til regulering af den mindst ene lyskildes lysstyrke. Dette er fordelagtigt ved at belysningen derved enkelt og hurtigt kan reguleres til det aktuelle behov, uden at en bruger behøver at finde en kontakt.Another embodiment further comprises a sensor located below the at least one disk, which measures gravity changes and which measurements are used to control the brightness of the at least one light source. This is advantageous in that the lighting can be easily and quickly adjusted to the current need without a user having to find a contact.

Yderligere en udførselsform beskriver et møbelben ifølge ovenstående og yderligere omfattende mindst et lag varmeisolerende eller reflekterende materiale placeret under den mindst ene gennemsigtige plade. Herved sikres at gulvet, som møbelbenet stilles på, ikke vil beskadiges af eventuel varmeud-5 vikling fra lyskilderne. Samtidig vil et sådant varmeisolerende eller reflekterende materialelag ikke kunne ses ved en placering som beskrevet ovenfor, og den visuelle effekt af belysningen i møbelbenene vil således ikke forstyrres.Another embodiment discloses a furniture leg according to the above and further comprising at least one layer of heat insulating or reflective material placed under the at least one transparent plate. This ensures that the floor on which the furniture leg is placed will not be damaged by any heat generation from the light sources. At the same time, such a heat insulating or reflective material layer will not be visible at a location as described above, and thus the visual effect of the lighting in the furniture legs will not be disturbed.
10 En udførselsform omhandler videre et møbelben, hvor den mindst ene lyskilde udsender UV-lys. Dette er fordelagtigt, idet UV-lys slår bakterier og husstøvmider ihjel. Husstøvmider findes i stort antal især i sengemiljøer, hvorfor belysning med UV-lys netop under sengen kan begrænse problemet med allergi fremkaldt af husstøvmider.An embodiment further relates to a furniture leg where the at least one light source emits UV light. This is advantageous as UV light kills bacteria and house dust mites. House dust mites are found in large numbers especially in bed environments, so lighting with UV light just under the bed can limit the problem of allergy caused by house dust mites.
15 Nærværende opfindelse angår endvidere et møbel med lys indrettet til at stå på et gulv, hvilket møbel omfatter mindst et møbelben ifølge et eller flere af førnævnte elementer. Fordelene hermed er som nævnt ovenfor.The present invention further relates to a furniture with light arranged to stand on a floor, the furniture comprising at least one furniture leg according to one or more of the aforementioned elements. The benefits are as mentioned above.
20 Nærværende opfindelse angår endvidere en metode til oplysning af et gulvareal omkring et møbel med mindst et møbelben, hvor mindst en skive i det mindste delvist af et gennemsigtigt materiale monteres under det mindst ene møbelben, og mindst en lyskilde placeres under det mindst ene møbelben, således at lyskilden er helt eller delvist afskærmet opadtil af møbelbenet, og 25 hvor lyskilden bringes til at lyse ud gennem skiven i retninger hen over gulvet. Fordelene hermed er som nævnt ovenfor for et møbelben med lys.The present invention further relates to a method of illuminating a floor area around a piece of furniture with at least one piece of furniture, wherein at least one disc is mounted at least partially of a transparent material under the at least one piece of furniture and at least one light source is placed below the at least one piece of furniture. so that the light source is completely or partially shielded upwards by the furniture leg, and 25 where the light source is caused to illuminate through the disc in directions across the floor. The advantages hereof are as mentioned above for a furniture leg with light.
Endelig omfatter opfindelsen en metode til oplysning af et gulvareal, som ovenfor beskrevet og yderligere omfattende placering af mindst en sensor 30 under den mindst ene skive, måling af tyngdeændringer med den mindst ene 5 DK 176565 B1 sensor, hvilke målinger anvendes til regulering af den mindst ene lyskildes lysstyrke.Finally, the invention includes a method for illuminating a floor area as described above and further comprising placing at least one sensor 30 under the at least one disk, measuring gravity changes with the at least one sensor, which measurements are used to control the at least one sensor. brightness of one light source.
Kort beskrivelse aftegninger 5 I det følgende beskrives opfindelsen med henvisning til figurerne, hvor figur 1 viser en seng med lys i sengebenene ifølge opfindelsen, figur 2 viser en udførselsform af en lyskilde i et møbelben set fra siden og 10 nedefra, figur 3-4 viser forskellige monteringsformer af en lyskilde i et møbelben, og figur 5 viser en lyskilde i et møbel ben med et generelt orienteringslys og et 15 retningsbestemt ledelys.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 5 In the following, the invention is described with reference to the figures, in which figure 1 shows a bed with light in the bed legs according to the invention, figure 2 shows an embodiment of a light source in a furniture leg as seen from the side and 10 from below, figure 3-4 shows Figure 5 shows a light source in a furniture leg with a general orientation light and a directional guide light.
Beskrivelse af udførelsesformerDescription of Embodiments
Figur 1 viser en seng 100 med indbygget belysning ifølge opfindelsen. På hvert af sengebenene 101 er nederst lige over gulvniveau 104 placeret en 20 lyskilde 102. Selve foden 103 på sengebenet 101 er konstrueret af en metaleller træskive 201, under hvilken er monteret en plexiglasplade 202, hvori der er en lysdiode 102. Dette er vist i større detalje i figur 2. Plexiglaspladen 202 har en mindre diameter end metalskiven 201, hvilket betyder, at plexiglaspladen 202 ikke umiddelbart kan ses (er dækket af metalskiven), og at det ser 25 ud, som om sengen 100 svæver overjorden 104. Denne effekt forstærkes af lyset som illustreret i figur 1. Denne type belysning er især fordelagtig ved at give et lys rundt om møblet, men kun i en relativ lille højde over gulvniveau 104. Dette betyder, at sengen og gulvet deromkring er fint oplyst og tydelig for en person, som befinder sig rundt om i en afstand af møblet, men at lyset 30 samtidig ikke kan ses oppe fra sengen. Belysningen vil således ikke virke forstyrrende for en person i sengen, og det er derfor ikke nødvendigt at sluk- 6 DK 176565 B1 ke for lyset for at kunne falde i søvn. Samtidig vil personen, når denne sætter sig op i sengen, opleve, at gulvet og eventuelle ting på gulvet inden for en vis afstand af sengen (afhængig af den anvendte lysstyrke) er fint oplyst, hvorved personen uden først at skulle finde en lyskontakt uden problemer nemt 5 kan orientere sig, finde sine hjemmesko, vejen til døren, barnesengen etc. Endvidere er lysets placering i sengefødderne fordelagtig ved at forhindre, at personen støder imod sengebenene, hvilket ellers ofte giver anledning til skader på og smerter i fødder og tæer.Figure 1 shows a bed 100 with built-in lighting according to the invention. On each of the bed legs 101 is located at the bottom just above floor level 104 a light source 102. The foot 103 itself on the bed leg 101 is constructed of a metal or wooden disc 201, under which is mounted a plexiglass plate 202, in which there is an LED 102. This is shown in FIG. greater detail in Figure 2. The plexiglass plate 202 has a smaller diameter than the metal disk 201, which means that the plexiglass plate 202 is not immediately visible (covered by the metal disk) and that it looks 25 as if the bed 100 hovers above the ground 104. This effect is enhanced by the light as illustrated in Figure 1. This type of lighting is particularly advantageous by providing a light around the furniture, but only at a relatively small height above floor level 104. This means that the bed and the floor around it are nicely lit and clear to a a person who is around a distance from the furniture, but at the same time the light 30 cannot be seen from above the bed. Thus, the lighting will not interfere with a person in bed, so it is not necessary to switch off the light to fall asleep. At the same time, when the person sits up in bed, the floor and any items on the floor within a certain distance of the bed (depending on the brightness used) will be finely lit, which means that the person without first having to find a light switch without any problems easily 5 can orient themselves, find his slippers, the way to the door, cot etc. Furthermore, the placement of light in the bed feet is advantageous by preventing the person from hitting the bed legs, which often causes injury and pain in the feet and toes.
10 En nærmere udformning af belysningen ifølge opfindelsen ses i figur 2, hvor et enkelt sengeben 101 ses dels ind fra siden til venstre og nedefra til højre i figuren. Som nævnt ovenfor er der neden under sengebenet monteret en plade eller skive 202 af en lidt mindre dimension 203 end afslutningen af sengefoden 103 ovenover og med en relativ lille højde 204 i størrelsesorde-15 nen 5-30 mm. Skiven 202 er fremstillet af plexiglas eller et andet materiale, som i en vis grad er gennemsigtigt. Skiven kunne også være fremstillet af glas. En eller flere lyskilder 102 er endvidere monteret enten lige over skiven i et hulrum i sengefodens 103 underside eller helt eller delvist nede i skiven 203, hvorved lyset strømmer ud gennem skiven og ud over gulvet omkring 20 benet. I en udførselsform lyser lyskilden ud i størstedelen af 360 grader rundt om sengebenet gennem det gennemsigtige materiale. Opad er lyskilden afskærmet af sengebenet. Lyskilden eller lyskilderne placeres fortrinsvist løst i sengebenet eller skiven, således at disse kan udskiftes ved behov, men de kan også indstøbes i skiven 203. Skiven af det gennemsigtige materiale kan 25 ligeledes være udformet som en ring med lyskilden placeret mere eller mindre nede i hulrummet. Herved kan lyskilden skiftes om nødvendigt uden først at skulle afmontere skiven.10 A more detailed embodiment of the lighting according to the invention is shown in Figure 2, where a single bed leg 101 is seen partly from the side to the left and from the bottom to the right in the figure. As mentioned above, underneath the bed leg is mounted a plate or disc 202 of a slightly smaller dimension 203 than the end of the bed foot 103 above and with a relatively small height 204 in the order of 5-30 mm. The disc 202 is made of plexiglass or other material which is to some extent transparent. The disc could also be made of glass. Furthermore, one or more light sources 102 are mounted either directly above the disk in a cavity in the underside of the bed base 103 or fully or partially down in the disk 203, whereby the light flows out through the disk and beyond the floor around the leg. In one embodiment, the light source illuminates in the majority of 360 degrees around the bed leg through the transparent material. Upwards, the light source is shielded by the bedbone. The light source or light sources are preferably loosely placed in the bed leg or disk so that they can be replaced as needed, but they can also be embedded in the disk 203. The disk of the transparent material may also be formed as a ring with the light source located more or less down the cavity. . This allows the light source to be changed if necessary without having to remove the disc first.
i endnu en udførselsform placeres en tryksensor 205 et sted på undersiden 30 af den gennemsigtige plade 202 og altså mellem møbelet 100 og gulvet 104.In yet another embodiment, a pressure sensor 205 is positioned on the underside 30 of the transparent plate 202 and thus between the furniture 100 and the floor 104.
Denne sensor 205 registrerer ændringer i belastningen på sengen 100 og 7 DK 176565 B1 kan således registrere, om der ligger en person i sengen eller ej, eller om vægten ændrer sig, svarende til at en person har sat sig op i sengen. Denne information anvendes til at regulere og styre belysningen, således at lyset tændes eller justeres, så snart personen sætter sig op eller rejser sig og til-5 svarende slukkes eller dæmpes, når personen har lagt sig.This sensor 205 detects changes in the load on the bed 100 and 7 thus can detect whether a person is lying in bed or not or whether the weight changes, corresponding to a person having sat up in bed. This information is used to regulate and control the lighting so that the light is turned on or adjusted as soon as the person sets up or gets up and similarly turns off or dim when the person is asleep.
Strømtilførslen 206 til lyskilderne og ledninger til eventuelle tryksensorer i møbelbenene føres enten inden i benene, såfremt disse er hule, eller langs med benene 101 op under sengen 100. Her kan ledningerne 206 samles og 10 eksempelvis føres direkte til en stikkontakt eller føres til en motor til indstilling af sengens ryglæn med videre.The power supply 206 to the light sources and wires for any pressure sensors in the furniture legs are routed either inside the legs if they are hollow, or along the legs 101 up under the bed 100. Here, the wires 206 can be assembled and 10, for example, fed directly to an electrical outlet or fed to a motor. for adjusting the bed's backrest, etc.
Selve møbelbenets udformning og måde, det monteres på møbelet, er ikke af betydning for opfindelsen. Belysningen ifølge nærværende opfindelse er 15 ligeledes heller ikke begrænset til senge og ben herpå, men kan lige så vel anvendes på andre typer møbler eller genstande og i andre rum end soveværelser såsom under dørkanter, på bordben, i hospitalsstuer etc.The design of the furniture leg itself and the way it is mounted on the furniture is not of importance to the invention. The lighting of the present invention is likewise not limited to beds and legs thereof, but can equally be used on other types of furniture or objects and in rooms other than bedrooms such as under door edges, on table legs, in hospital rooms etc.
Plexiglasskiven 202 kan monteres på møbelbenet 101 på forskellig vis, og to 20 udførselsformer er skitseret i figurerne 3 og 4, hvilke udførselsformer begge er fordelagtige, ved at skiven 202 let kan afmonteres, hvis en lyskilde 102 eksempelvis skal udskiftes. I figur 3 er den gennemsigtige skive 202 ganske enkelt skruet op i møbelbenets 101 underside 301 med et antal skruer 302.The plexiglass disc 202 can be mounted on the furniture leg 101 in different ways, and two embodiments are outlined in Figures 3 and 4, both of which are advantageous in that the disc 202 can be easily removed if, for example, a light source 102 is to be replaced. In Figure 3, the transparent disc 202 is simply screwed up into the underside 301 of the furniture leg 101 by a plurality of screws 302.
Skiven 202 kan ligeledes udføres med gevind 401 og skrues op i et modsva-25 rende gevind i sengebenet. Denne udførselsform er fordelagtig ved på enkel vis også at kunne justere de enkelte møbelbens længde, således at møblet kan tilpasses et ujævnt eller skrånende gulv 104.The disc 202 can also be threaded 401 and screwed into a corresponding thread in the bed leg. This embodiment is advantageous by being able to easily adjust the length of the individual furniture legs in such a way that the furniture can be adapted to an uneven or sloping floor 104.
Som nævnt tidligere er skiven 202 fremstillet i et materiale, som lys kan skin-30 ne igennem, eksempelvis plexiglas eller en klar glas. Skiven kan ligeledes være farvet for at opnå en belysning med bestemte bølgelængder.As mentioned earlier, the disc 202 is made of a material which light can shine through, for example, plexiglass or clear glass. The disc may also be colored to achieve illumination with specific wavelengths.
8 DK 176565 B1 På samme vis kan de anvendte lyskilder 102 være valgt ud fra specielle ønsker til lyssammensætning (farve af lyset, ’hårdt’ eller ’blødt’ lys) og/eller intensitet. En lyskilde med minimal varmeudvikling er fordelagtig ved ikke at 5 beskadige gulvet 104 eller overfladen, som sengebenet 101 står på. Af samme grund placeres i en udførselsform af opfindelsen et materialelag 303 med lysreflekterende eller isolerende egenskaber under den gennemsigtige plade, således at lyset enten reflekteres væk fra gulvet, eller således at varmen fra lyset ikke når ned til gulvet 104.8 DK 176565 B1 Similarly, the light sources used 102 may be selected based on special wishes for light composition (color of light, 'hard' or 'soft' light) and / or intensity. A light source with minimal heat generation is advantageous by not damaging the floor 104 or the surface on which the bed leg 101 stands. For the same reason, in one embodiment of the invention, a material layer 303 having light reflective or insulating properties is placed below the transparent plate so that the light is either reflected away from the floor or so that the heat from the light does not reach down to the floor 104.
10 I en udførselsform anvendes UV-lys, hvilket er fordelagtigt ved at have den effekt at slå bakterier ihjel. Ligeledes menes UV-lys også at forringe levevilkårene for husstøvmider betragteligt. Allergi over for husstøvmider er en udbredt allergiform, som rammer omkring 10-15% af den voksne befolkning.In one embodiment, UV light is used, which is advantageous in having the effect of killing bacteria. Likewise, UV light is also believed to significantly impair the living conditions of house dust mites. Allergy to house dust mites is a widespread allergy that affects about 10-15% of the adult population.
15 Husstøvmider findes især i stort antal i sengetøj og madrasser, og hvor der er varmt og fugtigt. Belysning med UV-lys henover gulvet under sengen kan derfor reducere antallet af husstøvmider betragteligt og derved nedsætte såvel risikoen for at udvikle husstøvsallergi samt begrænse generne, såfremt man har udviklet allergien.15 Household dust mites are found especially in large numbers in linens and mattresses, and where it is hot and humid. Lighting with UV light across the floor under the bed can therefore significantly reduce the number of house dust mites, thereby reducing the risk of developing house dust allergy as well as limiting the genes if the allergy has been developed.
20 I figur 5 er illustreret endnu en udførselsform af belysningen, hvor det generelle lys 505 rundt om hele sengebenet 101 som beskrevet i det tidligere er suppleret med en yderligere lyskilde 501, som udsender lys primært koncentreret i en bestemt retning (men stadig hen over gulvet 104) og kan oriente- 25 res individuelt efter behov. Dette opnås ved at montere en ekstra lyskilde 501 under møbelbenet, hvilken er afskærmet undtagen i et begrænset vinkelområde 502. Vinkelområdet kan indstilles ved at dreje pladen, som den ekstra lyskilde er monteret i, sammen med lyskilden 501 som illustreret ved pilen 503. Alternativt kan den ekstra lyskilde 501 sidde tilnærmelsesvist centralt og 30 kun afskærmningen herom drejes og dermed retningen af det udsendte lys fra den ekstra lyskilde. Det direktionelle lys kan eksempelvis indstilles til og s 9 DK 176565 B1 være fordelagtig ved at vise vejen fra møblet og eksempelvis hen til døren til værelset, således at man udover den generelle oplysning 505 af gulvet 104 og genstande omkring møblet 100 samt møbelbenene 101 selv også opnår en vejviser, som rækker længere ud i rummet.Fig. 5 illustrates yet another embodiment of the illumination, in which general light 505 around the entire bed leg 101, as previously described, is supplemented by an additional light source 501 which emits light primarily concentrated in a particular direction (but still across the floor 104) and can be individually oriented as needed. This is achieved by mounting an additional light source 501 under the furniture leg, which is shielded except in a limited angular range 502. The angle range can be set by rotating the plate in which the additional light source is mounted, together with the light source 501 as illustrated by arrow 503. Alternatively, the additional light source 501 sits approximately centrally and only the shielding thereof is rotated, and thus the direction of the emitted light from the additional light source. For example, the directional light can be set to and advantageously by showing the way from the furniture and, for example, to the door to the room, so that in addition to the general lighting 505 of the floor 104 and objects around the furniture 100 as well as the furniture legs 101 itself obtains a guide that extends further into space.
