Abstract

The wash basin (2) has an associated illumination device (3) with a number of light sources (5), positioned on the outside of the basin. The latter is made of a transparent plastics material (4) for illuminating its interior. The light sources are either LEDs or LV halogen lamps.

Description

Waschbecken mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung Wash basin with a lighting device
Die Erfindung betrifft Waschbecken zum Spülen oder Waschen von Kopfhaar, wobei eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung mit mehreren Lichtstrahlern vorgesehen ist, um einen Innenraum des Waschbeckens zu beleuchten.The invention relates to wash basins for rinsing or washing head hair, a lighting device having a plurality of light emitters being provided in order to illuminate an interior of the wash basin.
Ein derartiges Waschbecken mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung ist aus der DE 201 05 708 U1 bekannt, bei der mehrere Lichtstrahler in das Waschbecken eingelassen sind, um einen Innenraum des Waschbeckens zu beleuchten. Dadurch soll vermieden werden, dass durch eine übliche Beleuchtung in einem Friseursalon mangelhafte Lichtverhältnisse zu Lichtschatten an einem Hinterkopf führen, wodurch ein fachgerechtesSuch a wash basin with a lighting device is known from DE 201 05 708 U1, in which a plurality of light emitters are embedded in the wash basin in order to illuminate an interior of the wash basin. This is to avoid that, due to the usual lighting in a hairdressing salon, poor lighting conditions lead to light shadows on the back of the head, thereby ensuring a professional lighting
Spülen oder Waschen von Kopfhaar erschwert ist, weil schlecht erkennbar ist, ob alle Spül- oder Waschmittelrückstände aus dem Kopfhaar herausgespült bzw. herausgewaschen sind. Um die Lichtstrahler in das Waschbecken einzulassen, sind entsprechende Bohrungen durch eine Beckenwand erforderlich und müssen manuell wasserdicht befestigt werden, was sehr aufwändig ist. Außerdem ist durch die auseinander stehenden Lichtstrahler keine gleichmäßige Beleuchtung auf den Hinterkopf gegeben.Rinsing or washing head hair is difficult because it is difficult to tell whether all detergent or detergent residues have been washed out or washed out of the head hair. In order to let the light emitters into the wash basin, corresponding holes have to be drilled through a basin wall and have to be manually fixed watertight, which is very complex. In addition, due to the spaced-apart light emitters, there is no uniform lighting on the back of the head.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein gattungsgleichesThe invention is based on the object, a generic
Waschbecken zu schaffen, dass keine Bohrungen durch die Beckenwand erfordert, kein manuelles Nacharbeiten einer wasserdichten Befestigung für die Lichtstrahler erforderlich macht und eine gleichmäßigere Beleuchtung auf den Hinterkopf erzielt.To create washbasins that do not require drilling through the pool wall, do not require manual reworking of a waterproof attachment for the light emitters and achieve a more uniform lighting on the back of the head.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe nach den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Weitere Ausbildungen/ Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.This object is achieved according to the characterizing features of claim 1. Further developments / refinements of the invention emerge from the subclaims.
Die Erfindung wird an Hand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher beschrieben. Es zeigt:The invention is described in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. It shows:
Fig. 1 in einer geschnittenen Seitenansicht ein Waschbecken mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung, und Fig. 2 in einer Draufsicht das Waschbecken nach der Fig. 1.1 is a sectional side view of a sink with a lighting device, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the sink of FIG. 1st
Fig. 1 zeigt ein Waschbecken 2 zum Spülen oder Waschen von Kopfhaar, wobei eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung 3 mit mehreren Lichtstrahlern 5 vorgesehen ist, um einen Innenraum 14 des Waschbeckens 2 zu beleuchten. Das Waschbecken 2, welches mit einer Armatur 15 und einer Handdusche 16 versehen ist, besteht aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Material 4, wobei die Lichtstrahler 5 der Beleuchtungseinrichtung 3 derart außerhalb des Waschbeckens 2 angeordnet sind, dass zumindest ein Teilbereich 1 1 einer Außenseite 6 des Waschbeckens 2 mit Licht 12 beaufschlagbar ist. Als Material 4 ist wahlweise Glas 4.1 oder Kunststoff 4.2 vorgesehen, welches zwecks einer großen Lichtstreuung aus opakem Material 4.3 bestehen kann. Es kann aber auch zwecks einer großen Lichtstreuung vorgesehen werden, die Außenseite 6 mit einer Mattierung 8 zu versehen. Eine kostengünstige Herstellung und Montage der Lichtstrahler 5 wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Lichtstrahler 5 als eine Baueinheit 7 zusammengefasst sind, wobei die Lichtstrahler 5 mit entsprechenden Verbindungen miteinander ein korbartiges Gebilde als Baueinheit 7 bilden. Die Baueinheit 7 ist beispielsweise mittels eines Verbindungsteils 13 außenseitig mit einem Abflussrohr 17 verbunden. Als mechanischer Schutz der Lichtstrahler 5 und gegebenenfalls auch als Blendschutz ist vorgesehen, dass die Lichtstrahler 5 mit einer äußeren Verkleidung 9 versehen sind. Als Lichtstrahler 5 können - vorzugsweise weiß strahlende - Leuchtdioden 5.1 oder Niederspannungs-Halogenlampen 5.2 vorgesehen werden. Das Waschbecken 2 kann als ein Rückwärtswaschbecken 10 vorgesehen werden, welches zu einer Rückwärtswaschanlage 1 ausgebildet sein kann. Es kann vorgesehen werden, die äußere Verkleidung 9 und das Waschbecken 2 zusammen einstückig aus dem lichtdurchlässigen Material 4 herzustellen. Bezugszeichenliste:1 shows a wash basin 2 for rinsing or washing head hair, an illumination device 3 having a plurality of light emitters 5 being provided in order to illuminate an interior 14 of the wash basin 2. The wash basin 2, which is provided with a fitting 15 and a hand shower 16, is made of a translucent material 4, the light emitters 5 of the lighting device 3 being arranged outside the wash basin 2 such that at least a partial area 11 of an outside 6 of the wash basin 2 can be acted upon with light 12. Glass 4.1 or plastic 4.2 is optionally provided as material 4, which may consist of opaque material 4.3 for the purpose of large light scattering. However, for the purpose of large light scattering, it can also be provided to provide the outside 6 with a matting 8. Inexpensive manufacture and assembly of the light emitters 5 is achieved in that the light emitters 5 are combined as one structural unit 7, the light emitters 5 with corresponding connections forming a basket-like structure as the structural unit 7. The assembly 7 is connected to a drain pipe 17 on the outside, for example, by means of a connecting part 13. As mechanical protection of the light emitters 5 and possibly also as glare protection, it is provided that the light emitters 5 are provided with an outer covering 9. Light emitting diodes 5.1 or low-voltage halogen lamps 5.2 can be provided as light emitters 5, preferably white ones. The wash basin 2 can be provided as a rear wash basin 10, which can be designed as a rear wash system 1. It can be provided that the outer covering 9 and the wash basin 2 are made in one piece from the translucent material 4. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
