Beleuchtungsleisten, die z. B. als Handlauf-, Treppenstufen-, Gepäckfach-, Sockel- oder Fluchtwegmarkierungsleuchten gestaltet sind, sind z. B. in der deutschen Patentanmeldung 196 27 856.2 beschrieben. Es. sind auch Beleuchtungsleisten mit einem sogenannten "Lauflicht" bekanntgeworden, bei denen jede Leuchtquelle mit einem daraus permanent angeschlossenen Minusleiter und einer entsprechenden Anzahl von Plusleitern (gemäß der gewünschten Kanalvergabe) versehen ist, die über ein Steuergerät einzeln positiv kontaktiert werden. Der besondere Nachteil dieser Beleuchtungsleisten besteht darin, daß bei einer sechskanaligen Ausführung sieben Leiterbahnen benötigt werden. Siehe dazu die US-A-4 737 764, wo gemäß der Figur 31 für ein dreikanaliges Lauflicht 4 Leiter benötigt werden.Lighting strips, the z. B. as a handrail, stairs, luggage compartment, Pedestal or escape route marker lights are designed, for. B. in the German patent application 196 27 856.2 described. It. are also lighting strips became known with a so-called "running light", in which each light source with a permanently connected negative conductor and a corresponding number of positive conductors (according to the desired Channel allocation) is provided, which makes positive contact via a control unit become. The particular disadvantage of these lighting strips is in the fact that seven conductor tracks are required for a six-channel version become. See US-A-4 737 764, where according to FIG 4 wires are required for a three-channel running light.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Beleuchtungsleiste der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die weniger Material und Raumbedarf benötigt und damit kostengünstiger als herkömmliche Vorbilder zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann. The invention has for its object a lighting bar of the beginning to create the type mentioned, which requires less material and space and therefore more cost-effective than conventional models can be put.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine zur Lösung der genannten Aufgabe vorgesehene Beleuchtungsleiste mit Leiterbahnen, die mit einer Spannungsquelle und mit LED-Elementen verbunden sind, wobei ein Steuergerät und eine Verschaltung dafür sorgen, daß die LED-Elemente mit lediglich drei Leiterbahnen einander nachlaufend ein- und wieder ausschaltbar sind, um auf diese Weise ein Lauflicht zu erzeugen, wobei ein intermittierend arbeitendes Steuergerät verwendet wird, das jeweils eine der Leiterbahnen außer Funktion setzt, eine jeweils andere Leiterbahn auf Plus und die jeweils verbleibende Leiterbahn auf Minus schaltet.The subject matter of the invention is one intended to achieve the stated object Lighting strip with conductor tracks that are connected to a voltage source and are connected to LED elements, with a control unit and an interconnection ensure that the LED elements with only three conductor tracks can be switched on and off sequentially in order to access them Way to generate a running light, with an intermittently operating control unit is used, each one of the conductor tracks out of function sets a different track to Plus and the remaining track Conductor switches to minus.

Bei der Erfindung soll also jede einzelne Leiterbahn von Plus in Minus umgeschaltet und auch außer Funktion geschaltet werden können, so daß an jedem LED-Element jeweils ein Plus- und Minusleiter anliegt, wobei die Erfindung den Umstand berücksichtigt, daß der elektrische Strom nur in einer Richtung durch die Dioden fließen kann. Bei einem sechskanaligen Lauflicht benötigt man danach nicht mehr sieben, sondern lediglich noch drei Leiterbahnen, was eine beträchtliche Einsparung an Material, Verdrahtungsaufwand und Raumbedarf bedeutet.In the invention, therefore, each individual conductor track is to be switched from plus to minus and can also be switched out of function, so that at each LED element each has a plus and minus conductor, the invention takes into account the fact that the electric current is only in one direction can flow through the diodes. Required for a six-channel running light afterwards you no longer have seven, but only three conductor tracks, what considerable savings in material, wiring and space requirements means.

Die neue Beleuchtungsleiste kann insbesondere als Fluchtwegmarkierungsleuchte verwendet werden, wobei die Laufrichtung des Lauflichts die Richtung des Fluchtwegs angibt. Solche Fluchtwegmarkierungen können z. B. insbesondere sinnvoll in Flughafen- oder Messegebäuden, größeren Kaufhäusern und dgl. bei Feueralarm oder sonstigen Notfällen eingesetzt werden. Die Steuerungseinrichtung ist vorzugsweise mit einer Laufrichtungsänderungseinrichtung ausgestattet, so daß die Erfindung auch als intelligente Fluchtrichtungsanzeige dienen kann. Dabei hilft auch eine weiterhin vorgesehene Einrichtung am Steuergerät zur Änderung der Lauflichtgeschwindigkeit oder eine Einrichtung am Steuergerät zum Umschalten auf Standlicht, wobei alle oder einzelne LED-Elemente leuchten.The new lighting strip can be used in particular as an escape route marker light be used, the direction of the chase is the direction of the escape route. Such escape route markings can e.g. B. particularly useful in airport or exhibition buildings, larger department stores and the like. are used in the event of a fire alarm or other emergencies. The Control device is preferably with a direction change device equipped, so that the invention as an intelligent escape direction indicator can serve. A facility that is still planned also helps on the control unit to change the running light speed or a Device on the control unit for switching to parking lights, all or individual LED elements light up.

Die neue Beleuchtungsleiste läßt sich mit Vorteil auch als Orientierungshilfe in Messegebäuden, Kaufhäusern, Kinos und vieles mehr einsetzen. Denkbar ist sogar der Einsatz an Leitplanken oder auf öffentlichen Fahrwegen, bei Autobahnausfahrten usw. The new lighting bar can also be used as an orientation aid used in exhibition buildings, department stores, cinemas and much more. Conceivable is even used on guardrails or on public roads Motorway exits etc.

Auch können mit der neuen Beleuchtungsleiste dekorative Effekte, z. B. für Reklamezwecke erzeugt werden auch mit unterschiedlichen Farben.Decorative effects, e.g. B. for Advertising purposes are also generated with different colors.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der beigefügten schematischen Zeichnung beispielhaft erläutert.The invention is illustrated by way of example with reference to the attached schematic drawing explained.

In Fig. 1 sind mit A, B und C drei Leiterbahnen und mit S ein Steuergerät bezeichnet. Mit den Leiterbahnen A - C sind LED-Elemente 1 - 6 verbunden. Dabei ist die Schaltungsanordnugn so getroffen, daß das LED-Element 1 mit den Leiterbahnen A (Plus) und B (Minus) verbunden ist, während die Leiterbahn C für das LED-Element 1 außer Funktion ist. Für das LED-Element 2 ist eine Verbindung mit den Leiterbahnen A (Plus) und C (Minus) vorgesehen und die Leiterbahn B bleibt für das LED-Element 2 außer Funktion. Für das LED-Element 3 sind wirksam die Leiterbahnen B (Plus) und C (Minus), während die Leiterbahn A hier außer Funktion bleibt. Für das LED-Element 4 bildet die Leiterbahn B den Plusleiter und die Leiterbahn A den Minusleiter und die Leiterbahn C bleibt ohne Funktion. Für das LED-Element 5 bildet die Leiterbahn C den Plusleiter und Leiterbahn A den Minusleiter und die Leiterbahn B bleibt ohne Funktion. Für das LED-Element 6 schließlich dient die Leiterbahn C als Plus- und die Leiterbahn B als Minusleiter während die Leiterbahn A für dieses LED-Element ohne Funktion bleibt. Nach dem sechsten LED-Element folgen wiederum LED-Elemente 1 - 6 und die vorbeschriebene Schaltungsanordnung wiederholt sich bis zur jeweils gewünschten Länge der Beleuchtungsleiste. Für die jeweilige Phasenverschiebung sorgt das Steuergerät S.In Fig. 1 there are three conductor tracks with A, B and C and with S a control device designated. LED elements 1 - 6 are connected to the conductor tracks A - C. The circuit arrangement is such that the LED element 1 with the conductor tracks A (plus) and B (minus) is connected while the conductor track C for LED element 1 is inoperative. For the LED element 2 a connection to the conductor tracks A (plus) and C (minus) is provided and the conductor track B remains inoperative for the LED element 2. For the LED element 3 are effective conductor tracks B (plus) and C (minus), while trace A remains inoperative here. For the LED element 4, trace B forms the positive conductor and trace A forms the negative conductor and trace C remains inoperative. For the LED element 5 forms the conductor path C the plus conductor and conductor path A the minus conductor and the Track B remains inoperative. Finally serves for the LED element 6 trace C as a plus and trace B as a minus conductor while the Conductor A remains inoperative for this LED element. After the sixth LED elements are followed by LED elements 1 - 6 and the one described above Circuitry is repeated until the desired one Length of the lighting bar. This ensures the respective phase shift Control unit S.
