Definitions

  • the present invention relates an illuminated canopy or shelter ridge mainly to be used for the forecourt of petrol stations, and suitable as an eave-lath forming a mark of recognition by its illumination.
  • Light beacons and illuminated troughs partly or entirely made of inorganic or organic glass in supporting profiles are already known; such means are illuminated in a conventional way by a series of bulb lamps or by discharge tubes.
  • British Patent GB-A-1 269 638 discloses an illuminated display sign comprising a trough containing a fluorescent light tube mounted in a support.
  • the known lamp is protected by a flat strip of translucent material which acts as a light diffusing element.
  • Flat side wall parts are located to the rear of the lamp as integral parts, giving reflection of the light.
  • the known trough is closed by a flat panel of a translucent acrylic material and a second front panel hinged or detachably' secured to form a display surface.
  • the illuminated eave lath for use as a canopy ridge comprises a trough of rectangular cross-section, containing a co-axial series of cylindrical fluorescent tube lamps mounted in respective supports, each said lamp being protected only over the light emitting parts thereof by U-shaped covers clamped into said supports, said covers being of translucent material and closed at their contact endings, and at least one flat reflecting screen mounted in an oblique position to the rear of said lamps within said trough, said trough being closed by a front panel of a transparent plastics material to form a surface as a mark of recognition.
  • the reflecting screen is preferably mounted under an angle of 45° towards the horizontal.
  • the translucent material is preferably polycarbonate ("Makrolon", registered trade mark of Bayer) which is sufficient resistant against temperature changes and influences of radiation.
  • the front panel of the trough is preferably a flat shield of weather proof polymethyl methacrylate ("Plexiglas", registered trademark of Rohm & Haas, or "Perspex”, registered trademark of I.C.I).
  • the front side of the illuminated trough can be provided with coloured planes of translucent adhesive film, as a mark of recognition, having a mat surface.
  • the light intensity of coloured light is depending of the colour or wavelength.
  • Yellow light for the present application yields up to 350 Lux, but red light only to 35 Lux.
  • the reflecting screen preferably consists of several flat parts of smooth rectangular white material, such as white coated metal or impact- resistant plastic.
  • the screens shall be placed in an oblique position of about 45° such that normally there will be a higher intensity at the lower side, but by positioning the screens adjacently with an angle of 45° it is also possible to obtain the higher light intensity at higher, lower or central parts of the canopy ridge, if so desired.
  • figures 1-3 show vertical cross sections of canopy ridges according to the invention.
  • (1) is the support profile of the trough
  • (2) is the illuminated front plane
  • (3) is the bottom plane
  • (4) are the supports with fluorescent tube lamps (5)
  • (6) are the U-shaped covers which are separated at the spot (7)
  • (8) are the reflecting screens in the rear of the tubes, mounted in an oblique position under an angle of about 45°.
  • the trough may comprise either one or two levels of screen flats (8), either at the upper side or at the lower side or at both sides. Long term tests have shown this canopy ridge illumination will not be dazzling and will remain visible at a fair distance, such that it is noticed in time by the fast traffic, and furthermore that the illumination remains evenly and is not prone to disturbances and glare.
  • the fluorescent tube lamps (5) may be coloured as required, and the translucent U-shaped covers (6) may be translucently coloured as well, while the reflecting screens (8) may be made of plain coloured material in order to intensity the coloured light if so desired.
  • fluorescne tube lamps (5) may be arranged parallel to each other in one trough while each of said tube lamps is backed with a reflecting screen part (8).
  • blue light may be used to "Whiten" parts of an illuminated sign.
  • certain selected areas of the U-shaped translucent covers (6) may constitute filters responsive to light of preselected wave lengths.
  • the construction according to the invention is particularly appropriate for petrol stations but can also be a practical solution for shops, such as souvenir and stationary shops, bus stations, railway and air traffic offices, etcetera.
