Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lighting system comprising at least one decorative transparent element having at least one bore, at least one light source for illuminating the at least one decorative transparent element, and a mechanical support extending into the bore for holding or suspending the at least one decorative transparent element wherein the light source (s) is (are) disposed in the bore (s) of the decorative transparent element (s) and the power supply to the light source (s) via the respective holder, wherein the bore (s) of the decorative transparent element (s) when assembled extend in a substantially horizontal direction.
  • Lighting systems with a decorative, transparent element for example in the form of a piece of jewelry have long been known.
  • the placement of a light source on or in the decorative, transparent element enhances its aesthetic appeal by the multiple reflections and refractions of the light emerging from the decorative, transparent element.
  • Decorative lighting systems are available in many different embodiments.
  • the US 5,653,530 discloses a lighting system in which the light source is in an opaque version connected by a wire to the decorative, transparent element.
  • the US 5,876,109 describes a lighting system with a decorative, transparent element in the form of a piece of jewelry, in which a light source is arranged in a specially made blind hole. The bracket is outside the hole.
  • the GB 2 253 129 shows an earring in which a light source is incorporated in the transparent element.
  • the EP 0 192 458 A2 shows a luminous system in which lead between two halves of the transparent element conductor to the light source. The conductors are also used for the suspension of the lighting system.
  • the US 2001/0055205 shows a collar with a lighted decorative element and a battery, wherein the power supply to the element from the battery via the tape.
  • the US 2001/0033485 shows an ear stud with a rod-shaped carrier, a decorative element and a battery as a counterweight.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a structurally simple and visually appealing lighting system, with the ability to replace defective light sources. This is made possible by a lighting system having the features of claim 1 and by a mechanical support having the features of claim 13.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that a light emitting diode (LED) is selected as the light source. This combines a compact design and a large luminosity with low power consumption.
  • LED light emitting diode
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that a light-emitting diode is sunk in a recess provided for this purpose on the part of the mechanical holder located in the bore. This allows the placement of a light source in an originally unconventional, decorative, transparent element.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that the decorative, transparent element of the lighting system has a plurality of blind holes, in each of which a light-emitting diode can be mounted. This allows the uniform internal illumination of larger decorative, transparent elements.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that the mechanical support of the lighting system is executed in the region of the decorative, transparent element in the form of two under spring tension stirrup, which allow a non-positive detection of the light introduced into the respective bore light sources. This results in a particularly high level of user-friendliness due to the possibility of replacing defective light sources quickly.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that the mechanical support consists at least largely of glass fiber reinforced plastic, preferably epoxy resin. As a result, a mechanical support is realized with favorable mechanical properties at low weight.
  • the mechanical support in the region of the decorative, transparent element is designed as an elongated bracket. This allows mounting multiple light sources in the same hole.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that the mechanical support on two opposite sides over the entire length is at least partially covered with an electrically conductive layer.
  • the presence of conductive layers allows the wireless power supply of light sources contacted by the mechanical support, which is aesthetically advantageous.
  • the mechanical support in the region of the bore facing away, free end is formed as a hanger.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that the hanger has electrically conductive contact surfaces, which are each connected to a conductive layer. This allows the lighting system to be releasably suspended on an arbitrarily shaped busbar, the force of gravity acts as a pressing force and makes a costly screwing or jamming of the lighting system on the busbar superfluous. The avoidance of a technically complex connection of the lighting system with an external power source leads to a low susceptibility. Particularly advantageous in this embodiment is the ability to arrange multiple lighting systems at arbitrary locations on the same power rail.
  • Fig. 1 shows a lighting system 10 with a decorative, transparent element 1 in the form of a Lusterbehangs, which is provided with a substantially horizontally extending (through) bore 2, through which it is releasably suspended on a rigid, mechanical support 3.
  • a light emitting diode 4 is sunk in a recess 5 sunk.
  • the power is supplied via the on the side surfaces 3a, 3b of the mechanical support 3 located conductive layers 6a, 6b (see Fig.
  • Fig. 1a shows a detailed view of the recess 5, at which the contacting of the different poles 4a, 4b of the light-emitting diode 4 designed in this embodiment as a light-emitting diode can be seen.
  • Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the light-emitting diode 4 is loosely introduced into the through-hole 2 of the decorative, transparent element 1 and then by the mechanical support 3, which is constructed in the region of the decorative, transparent element 1 as a spring-loaded clamp 9, from both sides of the bore 2 is electrically contacted, whereby the circuit is closed via the light emitting diode 4.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a lighting system 10 according to the invention, in which two LEDs 4 ⁇ , 4 ⁇ in opposing blind holes 2 ⁇ , 2 ⁇ and the power supply of the LEDs 4 ⁇ , 4 ⁇ by the respective mechanical support 3 ⁇ , 3 ⁇ ,
  • Fig. 4 shows an application example in which a plurality of lighting systems 10 according to the invention are releasably suspended on an annular busbar 8.
  • the invention is of course not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Rather, it may in particular be provided that a possibly colored light bulb is used as light source, that the decorative, transparent element is designed in the form of a piece of jewelry, that the decorative, transparent element has both through holes and blind holes, that on a mechanical support several decorative, transparent elements are arranged or that the decorative, transparent element has a natural color.
