Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchtreklame, insbesondere
einen Leuchtbuchstaben, mit
Bei bekannten Leuchtreklamen dieser Art ist die Farbe,
in welcher sie vom Betrachter wahrgenommen werden, bei Tag
und Nacht im wesentlichen dieselbe; sie wird entweder
durch die Einfärbung des Frontspiegels oder auch direkt
durch die Farbe des durch die Lichtquelle erzeugten Lichtes
bestimmt. Ein höherer Aufmerksamkeitswert der Leuchtreklame
ließe sich jedoch dann erzielen, wenn bei Tag und bei Nacht
unterschiedliche Anmutungen, insbesondere Farbeindrücke,
hervorgerufen werden könnten.With known neon signs of this type, the color is
in which they are perceived by the viewer, essentially the same day and night; it is determined either by the coloring of the front mirror or directly by the color of the light generated by the light source. A higher attention value of the neon sign could, however, be achieved if different appearances, in particular color impressions, could be caused during the day and at night.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Leuchtreklame der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß sich eine variablere Anmutung für den Betrachter, insbesondere unterschiedliche Farbeindrücke bei Tag und bei Nacht ergeben können.The object of the present invention is to provide a neon sign of the type mentioned at the beginning, that there is a more variable impression for the viewer, especially different color impressions during the day and surrender at night.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß
wobei
in which
Erfindungsgemäß wird also die Gesamtfläche des Frontspiegels kleinstrukturig in Bereiche aufgeteilt, in welchen das Licht der Lichtquelle den Frontspiegel durchdringen kann, und in solche Bereiche, welche die für die Tagesanmutung bestimmte Farbe tragen. Damit die farbgebende Schicht die Anmutung bei Nacht nicht stört, ist diese, wie erwähnt, durch eine deckungsgleiche weiße oder silbrig spiegelnde Schicht nach innen hin abgedeckt.According to the invention, the total area of the front mirror small divided into areas, in which the light of the light source penetrate through the front mirror can, and in those areas that the for the appearance of the day has a certain color. So that coloring layer does not disturb the appearance at night, is, as mentioned, a congruent white or silvery reflective layer covered on the inside.
Unter einem "Rastermuster" wird hier eine solche Struktur verstanden, die sich in einer rapportähnlichen Weise auf der Oberfläche so wiederholt, daß ihr aus der Ferne betrachtet eine etwa konstante oder sich nur geringfügig ändernde Helligkeit zukommt. In diesem Sinne ist auch das Wort "kleinstrukturig" zu verstehen: bei der normalen Betrachtungsentfernung zwischen der Leuchtreklame und dem Auge des Betrachters sollen diese Strukturen nicht mehr ohne weiteres auflösbar sein. Bei Tage werden vom Benutzer daher vornehmlich diejenigen Bereiche des Frontspiegels der Leuchtreklame bewußt wahrgenommen, die mit der farbgebenden Schicht abgedeckt sind, während die zwischenliegenden, frei gelassenen Strukturen nicht erkannt werden. Der Betrachter sieht also den gesamten Frontspiegel im wesentlichen in der Farbe der farbgebenden Schicht. Bei Nacht dagegen erhalten die zwischenliegenden, freiliegenden Bereiche des Frontspiegels ihre Bedeutung. Dann nämlich tritt das - gegebenenfalls entsprechend eingefärbte - Licht der Lichtquelle hier hindurch; die dann im wesentlichen von außen unbeleuchteten, durch die Beschichtung abgedeckten Bereiche des Frontspiegels werden im visuellen Eindruck vollständig unterdrückt und nicht erkannt, so daß dem Betrachter wiederum der Eindruck einer gleichmäßig oder annähernd gleichmäßig ausgeleuchteten Lichtreklame, diesmal aber gegebenenfalls mit anderer Farbe, vermittelt wird.Such a structure is here under a "grid pattern" understood that in a rapport-like manner repeated on the surface so that you can see it from afar considers an approximately constant or only slightly changing brightness comes. With that in mind also to understand the word "small structure": at the normal viewing distance between the neon sign and the eye of the beholder should these structures no longer be easily resolvable. By day are therefore primarily those areas of the user of the front mirror of the neon sign, which are covered with the coloring layer while the structures that are left in between cannot be recognized. So the viewer sees that entire front mirror essentially in the color of the coloring layer. At night, however, they get intermediate, exposed areas of the front mirror its meaning. Then that happens - if necessary accordingly colored - light from the light source through here; then essentially unlit from the outside, areas of the front mirror covered by the coating are completely suppressed in the visual impression and not recognized, so that the viewer in turn the impression of an even or nearly even Illuminated neon sign, but this time if necessary with a different color.
Unter "Rastermaß" wird diejenige Entfernung verstanden, die zwischen sich wiederholenden Strukturen des Rastermusters liegt. Damit diese bei den üblichen Betrachtungsentfernungen unaufgelöst bleibt, sollte das Rastermaß in der Größenordnung von wenigen Millimetern liegen."Grid dimension" means the distance the between repeating structures of the grid pattern lies. So that at the usual viewing distances remains unresolved, the grid should are on the order of a few millimeters.
Als günstig hat sich darüber hinaus herausgestellt, wenn der Bedeckungsgrad des Rastermusters etwa 70% beträgt. Unter "Bedeckungsgrad" ist vorliegend derjenige flächenmäßige Anteil des Frontspiegels zu verstehen, welcher in dem Rastermuster von der Beschichtung abgedeckt ist, also nicht vom Licht der Lichtquelle durchtreten werden kann.It also turned out to be cheap if the degree of coverage of the grid pattern is about 70%. In the present case, the "degree of coverage" is the area Portion of the front mirror to understand which is covered by the coating in the grid pattern, therefore not be penetrated by the light of the light source can.
Zwischen dem Frontspiegel und der Lichtquelle kann eine vergleichmäßigt und ggfs. auch dazu dient, eine Lichtfarbe festzulegen. Besonders variable optische Eindrücke lassen sich in einem solchen Falle dadurch erzielen, daß die Streuscheibe gemustert ist. Beispielsweise ergeben sich interessante optische Effekte, wenn die Streuscheibe in bestimmten Streifen ganz oder teilweise lichtundurchlässig ist.There can be one between the front mirror and the light source equalized and possibly also serves a light color set. Leave particularly variable visual impressions achieve in such a case that the Lens is patterned. For example, there are interesting ones optical effects when the lens in certain strips completely or partially opaque is.
Weitere gestalterische Möglichkeiten erschließen sich bei derjenigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, bei welcher auf verschiedenen Bereichen des Frontspiegels Beschichtungen mit unterschiedlichen Rastermustern angeordnet sind. Die Rastermuster können sich dabei in der Farbe der farbgebenden Schicht, in der Geometrie des zugrundeliegenden geometrischen Musters, in dem Rastermaß und/oder in der Transparenz unterscheiden.Other design options open up in the embodiment of the invention in which coatings on different areas of the front mirror arranged with different grid patterns are. The grid pattern can change in color coloring layer, in the geometry of the underlying geometric pattern, in the grid dimension and / or differentiate in transparency.
Weitere Möglichkeiten, die Anmutung dieser Leuchtreklame veränderlich zu gestalten, bestehen dann, wenn sich das Rastermuster zumindest in bestimmten Bereichen auf dem Frontspiegel kontinuierlich verändert. So läßt sich beispielsweise vorstellen, daß das Rastermaß bei Fortschreiten in einer oder mehreren Richtungen kontinuierlich größer oder kleiner wird; in ähnlicher Weise läßt sich die Transparenz des Rastermusters oder auch dessen geometrische Grundform, in einer oder mehreren Richtungen fortschreitend, kontinuierlich variieren.Other ways of giving the appearance of this neon sign to be changeable exist when the grid pattern at least in certain areas the front mirror changed continuously. So you can For example, imagine that the grid size as it progresses continuous in one or more directions gets bigger or smaller; in a similar way the transparency of the grid pattern or its basic geometric shape, in one or more directions progressively, vary continuously.

In Figur 1 ist im Schnitt ein Leuchtbuchstabe dargestellt,
dessen U-förmiges Gehäuse 1 aus zwei seitlichen Zargen
2, 3 und einem Bodenteil 4 zusammengesetzt ist. Die
Zargen 2, 3, die an ihrer Innenseite weiß belegt sind,

Die Sichtseite des Gehäuses 1 ist durch einen
Frontspiegel 10 abgeschlossen, der in Stufen 11, 12 an
den Oberkanten der Zargen 2, 3 eingeklebt und gegen diese
abgedichtet ist. Der Frontspiegel 10 ist im dargestellren

Die Konstruktion des Leuchtbuchstabens, soweit bisher beschrieben, ist konventionell.The construction of the illuminated letter, so far is conventional.
Der Frontspiegel 10, der aus einem transluziden Material
hergestellt ist, ist an der Innenseite mit einer Beschichtung
33 in einem Rastermuster 26 versehen, vorzugsweise
im Wege des Siebdruckes. Das Rastermuster 26 der Beschichtung
33 wird nunmehr anhand der Figuren 2 und 3 näher erläutert.The
Unter einem "Rastermuster" wird, wie schon erwähnt, ein
verhältnismäßig kleinstrukturiges, sich rapportähnlich
wiederholendes Muster verstanden, welches aus der üblichen
Betrachtungsentfernung nicht mehr vom menschlichen Auge
in seine einzelnen Strukturen aufgelöst werden kann
sondern sich aus dieser Distanz als Fläche von im wesentlichen
gleichmäßiger Helligkeit darstellt. Wesentlich
ist, daß die Beschichtung 33 in bestimmten Bereichen das
transluzide Material des Frontspiegels 10 abdeckt, während
sie zwischenliegende Bereiche freiläßt und hier einen
ungehinderten Durchgang des aus dem Inneren des Gehäuses
1 kommenden Lichtes gestattet.As already mentioned, a "grid pattern" includes a
relatively small structure, similar to a repeat
repeated pattern understood from the usual
Viewing distance no longer from the human eye
can be broken down into its individual structures
but from this distance as a surface of essentially
represents uniform brightness. Essential
is that the
Bei dem in Figur 2 dargestellten Rastermuster 26 bestehen
die durchlässig gelassenen Bereiche aus drei Scharen von
Streifen: eine erste Schar 27 verläuft unter einem Winkel
von 45° gegenüber der Horizontalen nach rechts oben;
eine zweite Schar 28 schneidet diese erste Schar 27 unter
rechtem Winkel und verläuft daher unter einem Winkel von
45° gegebnüber der Horizontalen nach rechts unten. Durch
diese beiden Streifenscharen 27, 28 werden auf der Spitze
stehende Quadrate 29 gebildet, die in der weiter unten
erläuterten Weise beschichtet und daher für das aus dem
Innenraum des Gehäuses 1 kommende Licht undurchlässig
sind. Eine dritte Schar 31 äquidistanter Streifen ist so
durch die oberen und unteren Ecken nebeneinanderliegender
Quadrate 29 geführt, daß eine entsprechende Reihe von
Quadraten jeweils in zwei Dreiecke 32 zerteilt wird.In the
Der genaue Aufbau der Beschichtung 33, die auf den Quadraten
30 und den "halben" Quadraten, also den Dreiecken
32, aufgebracht ist, ist in Figur 3 dargestellt. Direkt
auf dem Material des Frontspiegels 10 ist eine erste
Schicht 34 aufgetragen, bei der es sich um eine farbgebende
Schicht handelt. Die Farbe dieser Schicht 33 entspricht
dem, was der Betrachter des Leuchtbuchstabens als
Farbe bei Tage erkennt. Über der farbgebenden Schicht 34
ist eine zweite Schicht 35 aufgebracht, deren Farbe weiß
oder silbrig spiegelnd ist.The exact structure of the
Der beschriebene Leuchtbuchstabe funktioniert wie folgt:The illuminated letter described works as follows:
Am Tage wird die unmittelbar auf den Frontspiegel 10
aufgebracht farbgebende Schicht 33 vom Tageslicht beleuchtet;
der Betrachter sieht den Leuchtbuchstaben aus der entsprechenden
Distanz im wesentlichen als homogene, in
der entsprechenden Farbe eingefärbte Fläche. Bei Nacht
dagegen tritt der durch die farbgebende Schicht 33 hervorgerufene
Farbeindruck zurück. Stattdessen durchstrahlt
nunmehr das von der Neonröhre 13 erzeugte Licht zunächst
die Streuscheibe 9; die von dieser Streuscheibe 9 durchgelassenen
Lichtanteile gelangen dann weiter durch die
nicht durch die Beschichtung 33 abgedeckten Streifen 27,
28, 31 im Frontspiegel 10 nach außen. Auf Grund des
verhältnismäßig kleinen Rastermaßes des Rastermusters 26
empfindet der Betrachter bei einer entsprechenden Mindestdistanz
den Frontspiegel 10 als einheitlich in der Farbe
der Streuscheibe 9 leuchtende Fläche; die zwischenliegenden,
dunkleren Bereiche 29, 32 der Beschichtung 33, 34 bleiben
unbemerkt.During the day, it is placed directly on the
Bei dem oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel wurde
davon ausgegangen, daß das Rastermuster 26 über den
gesamten Frontspiegel 10 hinweg identisch ist. Es lassen
sich jedoch auch optische Effekte dadurch erzeugen,
daß in verschiedenen Bereichen des Frontspiegels 10
unterschiedliche Rastermuster eingesetzt werden. Dabei
ist eine Ausgestaltung denkbar, bei welcher die Fläche
des Frontspiegels 10 in unterschiedliche Bereiche unterteilt
ist, in denen unterschiedliche, jedoch innerhalb
des jeweiligen Bereiches einheitliche Rastermuster aufgebracht
sind. Schöne optische Effekte lassen sich aber
auch durch einen kontinuierlichen Übergang von einem
zum anderen Rastermuster erzielen, beispielsweise dadurch,
daß das Rastermaß und/oder der Flächenanteil, der
durch die lichtundurchlässige Beschichtung 33 abgedeckt
ist, kontinuierlich verändert werden.In the embodiment described above
assumed that the
