Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a lighting structure comprising at least two cases, in at least one of which a light source is placed, the light source being connected to an electric power source.
- There are many lighting devices that comprise of sets of interconnected light sources. Such light structures are used particularly for decorative and advertising purposes.
- The characteristic example is Christmas lighting system comprising of sets of colour light sources connected with flexible conductors. Such a lighting system is known for example from the document US 6,056,422.
- Lighting networks for advertising purposes are known for example from the documents US 6,135,616 and US 6,010,356.
- It is also known that point reflectors can be connected to a common suspended element that enables individual positioning of the point reflectors.
- A common drawback of all known lighting devices of the above type is that they do not enable to create arbitrary three-dimensionally shaped lighting systems without necessary use of complicated supporting structures.
- These drawbacks are eliminated by a lighting structure comprising at least two cases, in at least one of which a light source is placed, the light source being connected to an electric power source. Each case is provided at least at one of its ends with an articulated connection element for dismountable mechanic-electrical connection with another case and/or with a connector.
- The advantage of the lighting structure according to the invention is that it enables to compose arbitrary three-dimensionally shaped systems that distribute power in all branches and terminals. Both power appliances, among them light sources, and power sources, like accumulators, can be positioned in any place of the structure. The final structure is both a self-supporting one and depending in the used materials it can be a bearing one like in the form of light bridges.
- The advantageous form for the case is longish with articulated connection elements at both ends that are connected with conductors.
- According to another advantageous embodiments the connector comprises a cover provided with at least one articulated connection element for dismountable mechanic-electrical connection with the case.
- According to another advantageous embodiments the articulated connection elements are in the case and/or in the cover mounted in a self-locking ball joint.
- In another advantageous form there is an electric power source or a transformer mounted in the case and/or in the connector.
- As to other advantageous forms, the articulated joints comprise of a set of articulated male and female plugs or articulated thread joints or articulated bayonet joints.
- According to another advantageous embodiments the case and/or the connector is provided with elements for connecting to the fixed base or for placing on the fixed base.
- The lighting structure as to the invention shall be better particularized using drawings on which the individual figures shall demonstrate:
- Figure 1 - example of an embodiment of the lighting structure according to the invention
- Figure 2 - example of an embodiment of the lighting structure branched with a connector
- Figure 3 - another embodiment of the branched lighting structure
- Figure 4 - part of the lighting structure with an accumulator in a case
- Figure 5 - part of the lighting structure with a transformer in a case
- Figure 6 - part of the lighting structure with a transformer in the end connector
- Figure 7 - part of the lighting structure with an accumulator in the end connector
- Figures 8 and 9 - examples of electric connections of light sources
- A part of the lighting structure is shown in Fig. 1 and comprises two
cases 2 that are connected to thewall 10 with aconnector 5. In eachcase 2 there is alight source 1. In this embodiment thelight source 1 is formed by a bulb having wattage of 40W. Eachcase 2 has an elongated shape and has been mounted of plastic parts. Eachcase 2 has atransparent shield 9 in its middle part. At both ends thecases 2 are provided with an articulatedconnection element 4 for a dismountable mechanic-electrical connection. - The
connector 5 comprises aplastic cover 6 that bears an articulatedconnection element 4 for a dismountable mechanic-electrical connection with a connectedcase 2. - The
connection elements 4 have been formed by a combination of male-female plugs which are in thecases 2 and in thecovers 6 of theconnector 5 mounted in a selflocking ball joints 8. Eachcase 2 has a corresponding female plug at its one end and a male plug at its other end and they both are connected withconductors 11 to which a bulb base for thelight source 1 has been parallel connected. The combination male-female plugs creates both a mechanical connection ofcases 2 andconnectors 5 and an electric connection of bothlight sources 1 with theelectric power source 3 which in this case is the alternating network of 230V. - When assembling the arbitrary long lighting structure it is sufficient to insert two individual male-female plugs of
connection elements 4 one in another and thanks to the selflocking ball joints 8 thecases 2 can lean towards each other in the space. It is clear that somecases 2 need not necessarily bear thelight source 1 and that they serve as a bearing element in the whole structure. The assembled light structure creates a self-supporting structure the bearing capacity of which can be influenced by selection of known materials. - As is apparent from the schematic drawing in Fig. 1, the
light sources 1 are connected withconductors 11 in parallel so that a defect of onelight source 1 shall not cause any outage of the whole lighting installation. - For the sake of simplicity, the articulated
connection elements 4 for dismountable mechanic-electrical connection have been displayed as male-female plugs in all drawings that are mounted in selflocking ball joints 8, however, the experts are aware that the articulatedconnection element 4 for the dismountable mechanic-electrical connection can be created with any known element that will enable thecases 2 and/or theconnectors 6 to lean to each other and distribute electric power. As an example we can give articulated thread or bayonet joints provided with electric wire. - The
cases 2 need not be arranged one after another as shows Fig. 1, they can branch out arbitrary, too.Connectors 6 withseveral connection elements 4 are intended for these purposes. - For instance, in Fig. 2 there is a
connector 5 with four articulatedconnection elements 4 to which threecases 2 withlight sources 1 and anotherconnector 5 with oneconnection element 4 are connected. Theconnector 5 having only oneconnection element 4 has been fixing the whole space lighting structure on thewall 10. The structure of the elements is similar to the above-mentioned embodiment. -
Connectors 5 need not have articulatedconnection elements 4 arranged in one plane. Using thecases 2 and perhapsconnectors 5 it is possible to create spatially branched light structures that can be fastened to a wall, a ceiling or can be placed freely on a floor, a table or any other piece of furniture. According to the invention the lighting structure also can create a bearing structure of buildings. - An example of a free situated light structure is given in Fig. 3. The lighting structure comprises of four
cases 2 and twoconnectors 5.Free connection elements 4 ofend cases 2 can be replaced with not-drawn blind plugs. The lighting structure is connected through one of theconnectors 5 to the 230V alternating network. - The
light source 1 need not be present in allcases 2. Somecases 2 can serve as a bearing element only in the whole structure, other can bear anaccumulator 12, atransformer 7, a plug for electric power consumption etc. - Fig. 4 shows a part of a lighting structure the
light sources 1 of which are created by halogen bulbs with wattage of 10W. Instead oflight source 1 there is anaccumulator 12 placed in one of thecases 2. Theaccumulator 12 feeds all thelight sources 1. Thecase 2 with theaccumulator 12 has the articulatedconnection element 4 at only one end and at the other one there is ablind plug 13. When theaccumulator 12 is used, a movable lighting structure is created independent on the mains. - Fig. 5 shows another lighting structure having a
transformer 7 in one of thecases 2 instead of thelight source 1. Thetransformer 7 serves to feed halogen bulbs in the whole lighting structure. Thecase 2 that is connected as an end one has an articulatedconnection element 4 on the one end only and ablind plug 13 on the other end. - To place various sources of power we can use not only
cases 2 but alsoconnectors 5. In Fig. 6 there is a part of a lighting structure that has atransformer 7 mounted in theconnector 5. In Fig. 7 you can see an embodiment with anaccumulator 12 in theconnector 5. - The electric schemes examples of parallel connections of
light sources 1 have been demonstrated in Fig. 8 and 9. - The lighting structure according to the invention can be employed to assemble an arbitrarily branched structure that distribute electric power. The electric power can be consumed in specific places, for instance in light sources, or it can be withdrawn. The lighting structure as to the invention can create also bearing parts of buildings.
