Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a light sign for a transparent support.
- More particularly, the present invention refers to a light sign for a transparent support, particularly but not exclusively suitable to be used for advertising, promotional, service, business, etc. light signs of the kind to be applied to a transparent material wall such as glass or crystal or similar materials of a shop, an exhibition booth or the like.
- It is known that light signs are commonly applied to the glass walls of a room such as shops, bars, exhibition booths, etc, are generally placed inside the room.
- The light signs that are generally used, are substantially of three types.
- A first type comprising light signs defined as box signs that are generally constituted by a box frame made of sheet metal or plastic material or other suitable material and can have various shapes such as rectangular, oval, circular, squared shapes wherein a container is created. A suitable light source system of the known type is housed into said container. Said container is closed by a gable, said lighted body, generally made of a material that partially or totally diffuses light optionally by relief techniques, by different solutions and assembled with various techniques.
- A second type comprises boxed letters/logos made of various fonts and/or logos and materials that are lighted with any kind of light source system. Each element of font and/or logo element becomes a complete light source container of the relevant lighted body assembled with various techniques.
- A third type comprises letters/logos obtained by shaped neon tubes that outline the various logos and/or fonts. These shaped neon tubes are luminous and sight-read.
- These known light signs are entirely installed inside the shop or booth, or entirely outside them, in such a way to be seen from outside.
- Even though these light signs are commonly used and appreciated, they are not free from manufacturing and functional drawbacks. One of these drawbacks is the space said signs take so that they often interfere with other elements in the room such as curtains or the like and could damage the appearance. Other drawbacks are the need of drilling glass walls to install them; or in order to comply with the current provisions, these signs must be protected by transparent material containers. Another drawback is the loss of visibility of the advertising messages, when they are installed indoor, due to the reflection of the glass walls or of other transparent materials that separate the indoor environment of rooms, shops or the like, and the outdoor environment from where the same message is read.
- The need of light signs for transparent supports that remove the above cited drawbacks is therefore required.
- Object of the present invention is therefore the provision of a light sign for a transparent support that removes the above cited drawbacks with respect to the prior art.
- A light sign for a transparent support to be applied to a transparent material wall delimiting an indoor environment from an outdoor one is disclosed in document FR-A-2 733 074. Said disclosed light sign has the features of the preamble of
claim 1. The light sign for a transparent support of the present invention to be applied to a transparent material wall delimiting an indoor environment from an outdoor one, is characterised by the fact that the light source container has a shape which is obtained by connecting the fonts and/or logo elements of the advertising message to each other. - The manufacturing and functional features of the light sign for a transparent support of the present invention can be better understood from the following description wherein reference is made to the figures of the attached drawings representing some of its embodiments which are given only by way of illustrative and non-limitative example, wherein:

light source punctiform 3 light sources, even combined among them into the same container. - The container of
light source light source - The
lighted body - Preferably, the light sign for a
transparent support 1 of the present invention is applied without modifying the glass of the wall P; in other words without drilling the glass. - Preferably, in the light sign for a transparent support, even though the same container of
light source lighted body - Preferably, the
light source container body - Preferably, the light source container of the light sign for a
transparent support 1 has a very reduced thickness in order to be easily housed into the projections of the wall compared to the wall P, thus avoiding the interference with other elements such as the curtains and can reduce the unaesthetic visual impact. - Preferably, the light sign for a
transparent support 1 does not need to be maintained from the outdoor environment as the light source container is always indoor. - Preferably, the light sign for a
transparent support 1 is safe as thelight source container 2 with a thickness of 25 mm is preferably used and it is particularly suitable for containing a low power punctiform light source such as a LED. - Preferably, as the lighted body of the light sign for a
transparent support 1 is completely outdoor, the visibility of the advertising message is not altered due to the reflection effect of the outdoor environment on the wall P made of glass or other transparent material. - As can be noticed by the previous description, the light sign for a
transparent support 1 of the present invention proved to be functional and versatile, it is also easily manufactured and allows reaching the object of the present invention and remove the mentioned drawbacks as to the prior art. - Even though the present invention has been described above with reference to one of its embodiments which is given only by way of illustrative and non-limitative example, it is clear that many variants and changes can be made by the people skilled in the art with reference to the above-mentioned description. Therefore the present invention is meant to comprise all changes and variants falling within the scope of the following claims.
