Description

Vorrichtung zur flächigen Ausgestaltung von Räumen Device for the flat design of rooms
Beschreibungdescription
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur flächigen Ausgestaltung von Räumen, insbesondere Büroräumen, Ausstellungs- und Wohnräumen, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device for the flat design of rooms, in particular office rooms, exhibition and living rooms, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Es ist bekannt, Membranen als Deckenbekleidung für alle Arten von Räumen zu verwenden.It is known to use membranes as ceiling coverings for all types of rooms.
Bei den bekannten Deckenbekleidungen dieser Art erstrecken sich die Membranen zumeist lückenlos von einem Rand der Decke zum anderen und werden gleichzeitig gespannt gehalten, so daß sich zwischen der Decke und der Deckenbekleidung ein abgeschlossener Raum bildet. Dadurch entsteht zwischen der Decke und der Deckenbekleidung eine isolierende Luftschicht.In the known ceiling coverings of this type, the membranes usually extend seamlessly from one edge of the ceiling to the other and are kept taut at the same time, so that a closed space is formed between the ceiling and the ceiling coverings. This creates an insulating layer of air between the ceiling and the ceiling covering.
Nachteilig an derartigen Deckenbekleidungen ist es, daß eine Nutzung der Dek- kenmasse durch die isolierende Luftschicht verhindert wird.A disadvantage of such ceiling cladding is that the insulating air layer prevents the cover material from being used.
Diese Nachteile sollen nach der EP 732 460 dadurch überwunden werden, daß eine Deckenbekleidung für Räume vorgeschlagen wird, die folienartig biegsame, zumindest im wesentlichen waagerecht im Abstand von der Festdecke angeordnete Bahnen aufweist. Die Bahnen sind jeweils Bestandteile von je für sich gespannten, mit eigener Aufhängung ausgestatteten im wesentlichen waagerechten Elementen, die mit gegenseitigem Abstand versehen mosaikartig an der Festdecke installiert sind. Außer der Nutzung der Deckenmasse als Kältespeicher sollen hierdurch ein günstigeres akustisches Verhalten und eine vorteilhafte Raumausleuch- tung erreicht werden.According to EP 732 460, these disadvantages are to be overcome by proposing a ceiling covering for rooms which has sheets that are flexible, at least essentially horizontally spaced from the fixed ceiling. The tracks are each part of the essentially horizontal elements, each with its own suspension, which is tensioned and has its own suspension, and is installed in a mosaic-like manner on the fixed ceiling, with mutual spacing. In addition to using the ceiling mass as a cold store, this should also result in more favorable acoustic behavior and advantageous room lighting.
Nachteilig an einer derartigen Deckenbekleidung ist, daß insbesondere bei sehr hohen Räumen keine günstige Ausleuchtung des Raumes und keine ausreichende Schallabsorption, insbesondere bei sehr nahe aneinander gelegenen Arbeitsplätzen, erfolgt.A disadvantage of such a ceiling covering is that, particularly in very high rooms, there is no favorable illumination of the room and no adequate lighting Sound absorption, especially in very close to each other, takes place.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur flächigen Ausgestaltung von Räumen, insbesondere Büroräumen, Ausstel- lungs- und Wohnräumen zu schaffen, mit deren Hilfe eine hervorragende Raum- ausleuchtung erzielt wird und zusätzlich auch bei nahe aneinander liegenden Ständen bzw. Arbeitsplätzen weniger störende Nebengeräusche wahrgenommen werden.The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device for the planar design of rooms, in particular office rooms, exhibition and living rooms, with the aid of which excellent room illumination is achieved and additionally also in the case of stands or workplaces located close to one another less disturbing background noises are perceived.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Dadurch, daß die mindestens eine Membrane an mindestens einem ersten Befestigungspunkt im Raum oder an der Decke befestigt ist, und daß die Membrane an mindestens einem zweiten Befestigungspunkt unterhalb des ersten Befestigungspunktes bzw. der Decke befestigt ist, derart, daß die Membrane eine beliebige dreidimensionale Form bildet, wird gewährleistet, daß ein äußerst angenehmes Lichtempfinden erzeugt wird und zusätzlich Nebengeräusche und Gespräche aus nahegelegenen, etwa lediglich durch Trennwände abgetrennten Bereichen des selben Raumes, teilweise absorbiert werden.Characterized in that the at least one membrane is attached to at least a first attachment point in the room or to the ceiling, and that the membrane is attached to at least a second attachment point below the first attachment point or the ceiling, such that the membrane has an arbitrary three-dimensional shape forms, it is ensured that an extremely pleasant sense of light is generated and additional noises and conversations from nearby areas, for example only separated by partitions, of the same room are partially absorbed.
Zur Unterteilung sehr hoher Räume ist es vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen, daß die Membrane an einer tragenden Konstruktion befestigt ist, die deutlich unterhalb der Decke angeordnet ist.To subdivide very high rooms, it is advantageously provided that the membrane is fastened to a supporting structure which is arranged clearly below the ceiling.
Die Schallreduktion und Lichtbrechung wird dadurch optimiert, daß die Membrane eine dreidimensionale trichter-, pyramiden-, hauben- oder kegelähnliche Form bildet.The sound reduction and refraction of light is optimized in that the membrane forms a three-dimensional funnel, pyramid, hood or cone-like shape.
Beim Einsatz von Lichtstrahlern unterhalb der Membrane ist es für eine optimale Raumausleuchtung von Vorteil, daß die Membrane lichtreflektierend ausgebildet ist. Beim Einsatz von Deckenflutem bzw. Oberlichten ist die Membrane vorteilhafterweise zumindest teilweise lichtdurchlässig ausgebildet.When using light emitters below the membrane, it is advantageous for optimum room illumination that the membrane is designed to reflect light. When using floodlights or skylights, the membrane is advantageously at least partially translucent.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 1 verwendet daher eine Membrane 2, die in nicht zu großer Höhe über den Arbeitsplätzen aufgespannt ist und zur Schallabsorption und Lichtreflexion bzw. zum Lichtdurchlaß dient. Im Begriff Membrane sollen dabei alle Bahnen aus geeigneten bekannten, zumindest teilweise schallabsorbierenden Materialien und Stoffen, Geweben, Folien, beschichteten Geweben usw. umfaßt sein. Einige bevorzugte Beispiele werden in der Beschreibung zu den Fig. 8 a-e geliefert.The device 1 according to the invention therefore uses a membrane 2 which is not stretched too high above the workplaces and is used for sound absorption and light reflection or for light transmission. The term membrane is intended to encompass all webs of suitable known, at least partially sound-absorbing materials and fabrics, fabrics, foils, coated fabrics, etc. Some preferred examples are provided in the description of Figures 8 a-e.
Die Vorrichtung umfaßt in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 einen selbsttragenden Stützfuß 5, in dessen oberem Bereich 12 eine Stütz- bzw. Halteeinrichtung 7 in Form eines kreisförmig ausgebildeten Seils 11 vorgesehen ist. Das Seil 11 ist über diverse Spannvorrichtungen mit dem Stützfuß 5 verbunden. Unterhalb des oberen Endbereichs 12 des Stützfußes 5 ist am Stützfuß 5 eine weitere, Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 zur Befestigung der Membrane 2 angebracht. Die Befestigung der Membrane 2 an der Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 bzw. an der Stütz- bzw. Halteeinrichtung 7 erfolgt in üblicher Weise mit Hilfe von Klemmen, Klettverschlüssen oder ähnlichen bekannten Vorrichtungen.In the preferred embodiment according to FIG. 1, the device comprises a self-supporting support foot 5, in the upper region 12 of which a support or holding device 7 in the form of a circular rope 11 is provided. The rope 11 is connected to the support foot 5 via various tensioning devices. Below the upper end region 12 of the support foot 5, a further fastening device 3 for fastening the membrane 2 is attached to the support foot 5. The membrane 2 is fastened to the fastening device 3 or to the support or holding device 7 in the usual way with the aid of clamps, Velcro fasteners or similar known devices.
Die Membrane 2 ist in bevorzugter Weise trichterförmig aufgespannt, wobei die Trichteröffnung nach oben zeigt. Aufgrund der abgerundeten Form der Membrane 2 und ihrer dreidimensionalen Ausgestaltung ergibt sich eine erhöhte Schallreduktion und zugleich eine Lichtbrechung nach vielen verschiedenen Richtungen, was zu einem erfreulich niedrigen Geräuschpegel und einer angenehmen Raumausleuchtung führt. Es ist auch denkbar, bei niedrigen Decken 10 die Stütz- bzw. Halteeinrichtung 7 direkt an der Decke 10 zu befestigen. Um eine derartige Trichterform der Membranenhülle zu erreichen, ist die Membrane 2 üblicherweise aus mehreren Membranenteilstücken 4 zusammengesetzt, die im wesentlichen krei- ssegmentförmig ausgebildet sind und konkave Längsränder besitzen, wie unten zu Fig. 5 näher beschrieben wird.The membrane 2 is preferably stretched out in a funnel shape, the funnel opening pointing upward. Due to the rounded shape of the membrane 2 and its three-dimensional design, there is an increased noise reduction and at the same time a refraction of light in many different directions, which leads to a pleasantly low noise level and pleasant room lighting. It is also conceivable to attach the support or holding device 7 directly to the ceiling 10 in the case of low ceilings 10. In order to achieve such a funnel shape for the membrane cover, the membrane 2 is usually made of composed of a plurality of membrane sections 4, which are essentially circular segment-shaped and have concave longitudinal edges, as will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 5.
In Fig. 2 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Arbeitsplatzes mit der Vorrichtung aus Fig. 1 dargestellt, Fig. 3 zeigt denselben Aufbau in Draufsicht.FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a work station with the device from FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows the same structure in a top view.
In Fig. 4 ist eine weitere ähnliche Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 1 zur flächigen Ausgestaltung von Räumen dargestellt. In diesem Fall ist die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 oberhalb der Stütz- bzw. Halteeinrichtung 7 im oberen Endbereich 12 des Stützfußes 5 angebracht. Auch hier ist es denkbar, die Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 direkt an der Decke 10 anzubringen. Durch die in den Fig. 1 bzw. 4 dargestellten Formen der Membrane 2 wird eine Beherrschung der Direktblendung und der Reflexblendung sowohl auf der Bildschirmoberfläche als auch bei Lese- und Schreibarbeiten auf dem Schreibtisch ermöglicht, da alle Lichtstrahlen nach verschiedenen Winkeln hin gebrochen werden.4 shows a further similar embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention for the planar design of rooms. In this case, the fastening device 3 is attached above the support or holding device 7 in the upper end region 12 of the support foot 5. Here, too, it is conceivable to attach the fastening device 3 directly to the ceiling 10. The shapes of the membrane 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 enable direct glare and reflex glare to be mastered both on the screen surface and during reading and writing work on the desk, since all light rays are refracted at different angles.
Aus Fig. 5 ist der prinzipielle Aufbau einer Membrane 2 für eine der zuvor dargestellten Ausführungsformen gezeigt, die aus mehreren Membranenteilstücken 4 zusammengesetzt ist. Die Membranenteilstücke 4 sind im wesentlichen kreisseg- mentförmig ausgebildet und können mit ihren jeweiligen beiden Nachbarstücken durch Vernähen, Verkleben, Verschweißen oder Klemmen, je nach Art der Membrane, verbunden werden. Je nach Formung der Längsränder 9 entstehen dann nach Befestigung in der Befestigungsvorrichtung 3 und der Stütz- bzw. Halteeinrichtung 7 unterschiedliche Trichter- bzw. Kegelformen. Wenn die Membrane 2 gemäß der Ausführungsform aus Fig. 1 aufgespannt wird, entsteht beispielsweise ein perfekter Kegel, wenn die Längsränder 9 im wesentlichen gerade ausgebildet sind, während konkave Längsränder zu einer Trichterform und konvexe Längsränder zu einer Kelchform führen.5 shows the basic structure of a membrane 2 for one of the previously illustrated embodiments, which is composed of a plurality of membrane sections 4. The membrane sections 4 are essentially in the form of a segment of a circle and can be connected to their respective two adjacent pieces by sewing, gluing, welding or clamping, depending on the type of membrane. Depending on the shape of the longitudinal edges 9, different funnel or cone shapes are then formed after fastening in the fastening device 3 and the support or holding device 7. If the membrane 2 is stretched according to the embodiment from FIG. 1, a perfect cone is formed, for example, if the longitudinal edges 9 are essentially straight, while concave longitudinal edges lead to a funnel shape and convex longitudinal edges lead to a chalice shape.
Hinsichtlich der bisher beschriebenen Ausführungsformen ist es auch möglich, über geeignete Tragekonstruktionen und Befestigungsvorrichtungen andere dreidimensionale Formen der gespannten Membrane zu bilden, etwa Sattelformen mit zwei hochliegenden und zwei tiefliegenden Aufhängepunkten, rechteckige Schirme, usw. Die Membrane kann nicht nur an radial angeordneten Seilen, sondern generell an allen Seilkonstruktionen befestigt werden. Ebenso ist es möglich, die Membrane nur an bestimmten Punkten, linienförmigen Profilen oder Rändern von festen Materialien zu befestigen. Je nach Ausführungsform und je nach Art der Befestigung kann die Membrane feste oder freie Ränder aufweisen, wobei bei Membranen mit freien Rändern Ecken mit Eckbeschlägen zur Befestigung dienen können. Sowohl die Befestigungsvorrichtung als auch die Stütz- bzw. Halteeinrichtung können an niedrigen Decken bzw. Seitenwänden von Räumen angebracht sein. Als Stütz- bzw. Halteeinrichtung kann aus ästhetischen Gründen außer dem vorgeschlagenen Seil auch eine Holz- oder Glasplatte, oder jede beliebige andere bekannte Trag- oder Spannvorrichtung dienen.With regard to the previously described embodiments, it is also possible to use suitable support structures and fastening devices to form other three-dimensional shapes of the tensioned membrane, for example saddle shapes with two high-lying and two low-hanging points, rectangular umbrellas, etc. The membrane can not only be attached to radially arranged ropes, but generally to all rope constructions. It is also possible to attach the membrane only at certain points, linear profiles or edges of solid materials. Depending on the embodiment and depending on the type of fastening, the membrane can have fixed or free edges, and in the case of membranes with free edges, corners with corner fittings can be used for fastening. Both the fastening device and the support or holding device can be attached to low ceilings or side walls of rooms. For aesthetic reasons, a wooden or glass plate or any other known carrying or tensioning device can serve as a support or holding device for aesthetic reasons.
In Fig. 6 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung dargestellt. Hierbei ist die Membrane 2 lediglich an Verbindungsstangen bzw. -seilen 6 befestigt, die in unterschiedlicher Länge direkt von der Decke 10 herabhängen. Im vorliegenden Beispiel sind die äußersten Verbindungsstangen am längsten, so daß sich eine im wesentlichen haubenförmige Ausgestaltung der Membrane 2 ergibt. Je nach Straffung der Membrane 2 hängt diese jeweils zwischen Aufhängepunkten nach unten durch. Ebenso ist es denkbar, die Verbindungsstangen 6 von der Mitte nach außen hin immer kürzer werden zu lassen, so daß die Membrane 2 insgesamt halbkugelförmig gewölbt nach unten durchhängt, oder aber eine simple schräge Anordnung zu kreieren, bei der die Verbindungsstangen bzw. -seile von einem Ende der Membrane zum anderen Ende immer kürzer werden.6 shows a further embodiment of the present invention. Here, the membrane 2 is only attached to connecting rods or ropes 6, which hang directly from the ceiling 10 in different lengths. In the present example, the outermost connecting rods are longest, so that the diaphragm 2 is essentially hood-shaped. Depending on the tightening of the membrane 2, it hangs down between suspension points. It is also conceivable to let the connecting rods 6 become shorter and shorter from the center towards the outside, so that the diaphragm 2 is arched downwards in a hemispherical manner, or to create a simple oblique arrangement in which the connecting rods or ropes from from one end of the membrane to the other end getting shorter and shorter.
Fig. 7 zeigt noch eine weitere Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zur Ausgestaltung von Räumen. Hierbei ist die tragende Konstruktion 13 der Membrane 2 aus mehreren winkelig aneinandergereihten Trägerrahmen 8 gebildet, die aus jedem geeigneten tragfähigen Material gebildet sein können, beispielsweise aus Holz oder Aluminium. Das untere Ende 14 der Tragekonstruktion 13 steht auf dem Untergrund oder einer beliebigen Unterlage, und nach oben hin ist die Konstruktion 13 immer mehr zunehmend nach einer Seite geneigt. Die Membrane 2 wird an bestimmten Befestigungspunkten 15 mit den Trägerrahmen 8 verbunden. Es kann auch jeweils eine kleinere Membrane in die einzelnen Trägerrahmen 8 gespannt sein. Um eine noch diffusere Lichtstreuung und höhere Schallabsorption zu erzielen, kann die Membrane 2 an bestimmten Punkten oder Linien innerhalb der durch einen Trägerrahmen aufgespannten Fläche jeweils durch eine geeignete Auswölbeanordnung 16 nochmals dreidimensional verformt werden. Diese Auswölbeanordnung kann beispielsweise auch ein lichtgebendes Element umfassen, wenn die Membrane aus lichtdurchlässigem Material gebildet ist, wodurch sich ein sanftes Streulicht ergibt. Die gesamte Anordnung muß nun noch durch Befestigung an der Decke oder an Wänden bzw. durch Verbindung mit mindestens zwei gleichartigen Raumgestaltungsobjekten, die in eine andere Richtung orientiert sind, am Umkippen gehindert werden. Werden mehrere solcher gleichartiger Objekte beispielsweise reihum verbunden, erhält man wieder eine trichterähnliche Gesamtform.7 shows yet another embodiment of the device according to the invention for the design of rooms. Here, the load-bearing structure 13 of the membrane 2 is formed from a plurality of support frames 8, which are arranged at an angle and which can be formed from any suitable load-bearing material, for example from wood or aluminum. The lower end 14 of the support structure 13 stands on the ground or any surface, and the structure 13 is increasingly inclined to one side upwards. The membrane 2 is connected to the support frame 8 at certain fastening points 15. A smaller membrane can also be stretched into the individual support frames 8. For even more diffuse light scattering and higher sound absorption To achieve, the membrane 2 can be deformed again three-dimensionally by a suitable bulge arrangement 16 at certain points or lines within the area spanned by a support frame. This bulging arrangement can also comprise, for example, a light-emitting element if the membrane is formed from translucent material, which results in a gentle scattered light. The entire arrangement must now be prevented from tipping over by fastening to the ceiling or on walls or by connection to at least two similar interior design objects which are oriented in a different direction. If several such objects of the same type are connected in turn, for example, a funnel-like overall shape is obtained again.
Die Fig. 8a-e zeigen einige Beispiele für die Struktur der verwendeten Membrane auf. Um eine ausreichende Schalldämpfung zu erzielen, ist die Membrane 2 zwei- oder mehrschichtig ausgebildet. In der in Fig. 8a dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Membrane aus einem Vliesverbund 21 , bei dem ein Vlies 22 mit einem Gewebe 23 verbunden, etwa vernäht, wird. Anstelle des Vlieses 22 können auch Filze, Schäume oder andere leichte Materialien verwendet werden. Die Leichtigkeit des Materials läßt hierbei alle möglichen Formen der Membrane zu.8a-e show some examples of the structure of the membrane used. In order to achieve adequate sound absorption, the membrane 2 is constructed in two or more layers. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 8a, the membrane consists of a fleece composite 21, in which a fleece 22 is connected, for example sewn, to a fabric 23. Instead of the fleece 22, felts, foams or other light materials can also be used. The lightness of the material allows all possible forms of the membrane.
Fig. 8b zeigt eine Membrane aus zwei derartigen Vliesverbünden 21 , die als Einzelbahnen miteinander in einem bestimmten Abstand über Verbindungsfäden 24 vernäht sind, wobei sich im Zwischenraum 25 zwischen den Bahnen Luft befindet. Eine solche Membrane ist immer noch recht leicht, ermöglicht vorteilhafterweise jedoch schon eine deutliche Schallabsorption.8b shows a membrane made of two such fleece composites 21, which are sewn together as individual webs at a certain distance via connecting threads 24, air being located in the space 25 between the webs. Such a membrane is still very light, but advantageously already allows a clear sound absorption.
In Fig. 8c ist eine Ausführungsform einer Membrane ähnlich wie in Fig. 8b dargestellt, mit dem Unterschied, daß sich im Zwischenraum 25 eine zusätzlich absorbierende Schicht 26, beispielsweise eine Filzeinlage, befindet. Dann kann auf die Verbindungsfäden 24 verzichtet werden, weil die Vliesverbünde 21 direkt mit dem Filz 26 verbunden, etwa aufgenäht, werden.8c shows an embodiment of a membrane similar to that in FIG. 8b, with the difference that an additional absorbing layer 26, for example a felt insert, is located in the intermediate space 25. The connecting threads 24 can then be dispensed with because the nonwoven composites 21 are connected directly to the felt 26, for example sewn on.
Als noch stärker schalldämmende Ausführungsform kann zwischen den äußeren Vliesverbünden 21 auch beispielsweise Sand 27 oder ein anderes grobkörniges Material eingefüllt werden, wie in Fig. 8d gezeigt, wobei die Verbindung zwischen den Vliesverbünden 21 dann beispielsweise durch sehr stark verankerte, dicke Fäden 30 erfolgen muß, um das Gewicht des eingefüllten Materials auszuhalten. Anstelle der Fäden können auch stärkere Folienstege (etwa z-förmige) an die Bahnen angeschweißt oder angenäht werden, die zum Durchlaß der eingefüllten Materialien gelocht sein können, oder andere Abstandshalter verwendet werden. Bei allen bisher gezeigten Ausführungsformen sollte die äußere Schicht lichtreflektierend sein, um eine ideale Ausleuchtung des Raumes zu liefern.As an even more soundproofing embodiment, sand 27 or another coarse-grained material can also be placed between the outer fleece composites 21 Material are filled in, as shown in Fig. 8d, the connection between the fleece composites 21 must then be made, for example, by very strongly anchored, thick threads 30 in order to withstand the weight of the filled material. Instead of the threads, thicker webs (such as z-shaped ones) can also be welded or sewn onto the webs, which can be perforated for the passage of the filled materials, or other spacers can be used. In all of the embodiments shown so far, the outer layer should be light-reflecting in order to provide ideal illumination of the room.
Beim Einsatz von Deckenflutern bzw. Oberlichten ist es hingegen sinnvoll, wenn die Membrane zumindest in Teilbereichen aus lichtdurchlässigem Material gebildet ist. Dazu bieten sich etwa Fluorpolymere an, die eine Lichttransmission von bis zu 95% im sichtbaren Bereich, kombiniert mit einem niedrigen Brechungsindex, aufweisen. Die direkten Lichtstrahlen werden hierbei an der Struktur des Gewebes optimal in Streulicht umgewandelt. Das Ergebnis ist ein sehr gleichmäßig verteiltes Streulicht mit einer geringen Schattenbildung. Will man Lichtdurchlässigkeit mit einer großen Schallabsorption kombinieren, so kann die Membrane etwa aus zwei lichtdurchlässigen Materialbahnen 28 bestehen, die wie in Fig. 8d verbunden sind, und zwischen denen kleine lichtdurchlässige Glas- oder Kunststoffelemente 29 eingefüllt werden, wie in Fig. 8e gezeigt ist.When using ceiling washlights or skylights, on the other hand, it makes sense if the membrane is made of translucent material, at least in some areas. For example, fluoropolymers offer a light transmission of up to 95% in the visible range, combined with a low refractive index. The direct light rays are optimally converted into scattered light on the structure of the fabric. The result is a very evenly distributed scattered light with little shadow formation. If you want to combine light transmission with a large sound absorption, the membrane can consist of two light-transmitting material webs 28, which are connected as in Fig. 8d, and between which small light-transmitting glass or plastic elements 29 are filled, as shown in Fig. 8e ,
Selbstverständlich ist die vorliegende Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Weitere Kombinationen der oben genannten Stoffe und weitere geeignete Materialien, die die geforderten Eigenschaften besitzen, können hierbei Verwendung finden. Ebenso können die Eigenschaften der Membrane durch Beschichtungen, beispielsweise durch Metallisierung, verändert werden. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. Other combinations of the above-mentioned substances and other suitable materials that have the required properties can be used here. The properties of the membrane can also be changed by coatings, for example by metallization.
