Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchte mit einer geschlossenen Lichtabstrahlfläche, die insbesondere für Dekorationszwecke verwendet werden kann.The present invention relates to a lamp with a closed Light emission surface, which are used in particular for decorative purposes can.

Leuchten, die zu Dekorationszwecken verwendet werden, sind in verschiedensten Ausführungsformen bekannt. So wurde von der Firma Spectral beispielsweise ein sogenannter Lichtwürfel vorgestellt, bei dem es möglich ist, fünf der sechs Seitenflächen des Würfels zu beleuchten. Eine Lampeneinheit mit farbigen Leuchtstofflampen sowie mit entsprechenden Betriebs- und Steuergeräten für die Lampen ist im Inneren des Gehäuses an der sechsten Seitenfläche des Würfels angeordnet. Die Licht in verschiedenen Farben abstrahlenden Leuchtstofflampen können individuell in ihrer Helligkeit eingestellt werden, so dass es möglich ist, die fünf verbleibenden Seiten des Würfels in jeder beliebigen Mischfarbe erscheinen zu lassen.Luminaires that are used for decorative purposes are in a wide variety Embodiments known. For example, the company Spectral so-called light cube, in which it is possible to present five of the six Illuminate side surfaces of the cube. A lamp unit with colored Fluorescent lamps and with corresponding operating and control devices for the Lamp is inside the case on the sixth side surface of the cube arranged. The fluorescent lamps emitting light in different colors can be individually adjusted in their brightness so that it is possible to adjust the five remaining sides of the cube in any mix color appear to let.

Eine andere Leuchte zu Dekorationszwecken wird von der Firma Santa & Cole vertrieben. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Kugelleuchte mit einem großen kugelförmigen Gehäuse, in dessen Inneren verschiedenfarbige Glühlampen angeordnet sind. Auch bei dieser Leuchte können die verschiedenfarbigen Glühlampen mittels entsprechender Dimmer in ihrer Helligkeit verändert werden, um eine gewünschte Mischfarbe zu erzielen.Another lamp for decoration purposes is from the company Santa & Cole distributed. This is a spherical lamp with a large one spherical housing, in the interior of different colored light bulbs are arranged. The different colors of this lamp can also be used Incandescent lamps can be changed in their brightness using appropriate dimmers to achieve a desired mixed color.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine neuartige Leuchte anzugeben, die sich insbesondere für Dekorationszwecke eignet und neuartige lichttechnische und optische Möglichkeiten eröffnet.The present invention has for its object a novel lamp specify that is particularly suitable for decorative purposes and new lighting and optical possibilities opened.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Leuchte gemäß einem der beiden unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst.The task is performed by a lamp according to one of the two independent Claims resolved.

Die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte besteht aus einem Gehäuse, in dem zumindest ein Leuchtmittel angeordnet ist. Das Gehäuse bildet über seine gesamte, transparent ausgebildete Oberfläche hinweg eine im Wesentlichen geschlossene Lichtabstrahlfläche, wobei die Lichtabstrahlfläche selbst in zumindest zwei voneinander getrennte Lichtabstrahlbereiche unterteilt ist. Jeder Lichtabstrahlbereich kann durch eine Beeinflussung des Leuchtmittels, des Gehäuses oder eines zwischen dem Leuchtmittel und der Lichtabstrahlfläche angeordneten Lichtbeeinflussungselements hinsichtlich seiner Helligkeit und/oder Farbe individuell eingestellt werden.The lamp according to the invention consists of a housing in which at least one Illuminant is arranged. The housing forms, over its entire, transparent trained surface a substantially closed Light emission surface, the light emission surface itself in at least two separate light emission areas is divided. Any light emission area can be influenced by the illuminant, the housing or one between the illuminant and the light emitting surface arranged light influencing element individually in terms of its brightness and / or color can be set.

Ein erstes besonderes Merkmal der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte besteht somit darin, dass im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Oberfläche des Gehäuses hinweg Licht abgestrahlt werden kann. Gemäß dem zweiten erfindungswesentlichen Merkmal erscheint dabei die Leuchte allerdings nicht unbedingt über ihre gesamte Oberfläche hinweg in der gleichen Farbe und/oder Helligkeit sondern kann in verschiedenen Bereichen Licht auf jeweils unterschiedliche Weise abgeben. Hierdurch wird eine neuartige Leuchte geschaffen, mit der optisch besonders ansprechende Effekte erzielt werden können. Die Leuchte eignet sich daher insbesondere zur Verwendung für Dekorationszwecke.A first special feature of the lamp according to the invention is therefore that essentially light across the entire surface of the housing can be emitted. According to the second feature essential to the invention however, the lamp does not necessarily appear over its entire surface away in the same color and / or brightness but can be in different Emit areas of light in different ways. This will create a created a new luminaire with which visually particularly appealing effects are achieved can be. The lamp is therefore particularly suitable for use Decorative purposes.

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

So wird die unterschiedliche Helligkeit bzw. Farbe der verschiedenen Lichtabstrahlbereiche vorzugsweise dadurch erreicht, dass jedem Lichtabstrahlbereich individuell bestimmte Leuchtmittel zugeordnet sind. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine im Inneren des Gehäuses angeordnete Reflektoranordnung erreicht werden, welche zu jedem Lichtabstrahlbereich jeweils eine sich an den Lichtabstrahlbereich anschließende Reflektorkammer bildet, in der zumindest ein Leuchtmittel angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise sind in jeder Reflektorkammer mehrere verschiedenfarbige Leuchtmittel angeordnet, insbesondere Leuchtmittel in den Farben rot, grün und blau, so dass für einen Lichtabstrahlbereich jede beliebige Mischfarbe erzielt werden kann.So the different brightness or color of the different Light emission areas preferably achieved in that each Light emission area are individually assigned to certain illuminants. This can for example, by a reflector arrangement arranged inside the housing can be achieved which correspond to each of the light emission areas Reflecting chamber adjoining light emission area forms in the at least one Illuminant is arranged. There are preferably several in each reflector chamber different colored lamps arranged, in particular lamps in the Colors red, green and blue, so that any for a light emission area Mixed color can be achieved.

Die Lagerung der Leuchtmittel erfolgt vorzugsweise über ein im Inneren des Gehäuses angeordnetes Montageelement, welches neben den Leuchtmitteln auch elektrische Anschlussmittel für die Leuchtmittel, insbesondere Lampenfassungen, sowie Betriebsgeräte zum Steuern und/oder Betreiben der Leuchtmittel aufweist. Dabei sind die Betriebsgeräte vorzugsweise im Inneren des Montageelements und die elektrischen Anschlussmittel sowie die Leuchtmittel an dessen Außenseite angeordnet. Das Montageelement kann beispielsweise quaderförmig oder zylinderförmig ausgebildet sein, wobei zumindest an einer Stirnseite ein kegel- oder pyramidenförmiger Abschluss vorgesehen ist und sich elektrische Leitungen zur Versorgung und/oder Steuerung entlang von Kanten und durch die Spitze des kegeloder pyramidenförmigen Abschlusses zu den Betriebsgeräten hin erstrecken. Das Montageelement kann beispielsweise von der Reflektoranordnung getragen werden. The lamps are preferably stored in the interior of the Housing arranged mounting element, which in addition to the lamps electrical connection means for the illuminants, in particular lamp holders, and operating devices for controlling and / or operating the lamps. The operating devices are preferably inside the mounting element and electrical connection means and the illuminants on the outside thereof arranged. The mounting element can for example be cuboid or be cylindrical, with a conical or pyramid-shaped termination is provided and electrical lines for Supply and / or control along edges and through the top of the cone or extend pyramid-shaped termination to the control gear. The Mounting element can be carried by the reflector arrangement, for example.

Als Leuchtmittel sind vorzugsweise Leuchtstofflampen mit darauf aufgebrachten Farbfiltern verwendet. Alternativ dazu könnten allerdings beispielsweise auch Leuchtdioden oder Glühlampen verwendet werden.Fluorescent lamps are preferably used as illuminants Color filters used. Alternatively, however, could also, for example LEDs or incandescent lamps are used.

Die Außenflächen des Leuchtengehäuses bestehen aus einem lichtdurchlässigen und farblich neutralen Material, beispielsweise aus Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) oder aus Polycarbonat (PC).The outer surfaces of the lamp housing consist of a translucent and color-neutral material, for example made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or made of polycarbonate (PC).

Das Leuchtengehäuse selbst kann grundsätzlich gesehen jede beliebige Form annehmen. Insbesondere könnte es als geometrischer Körper, beispielsweise in Form eines Quaders oder Würfels ausgebildet sein. Denkbar wäre jedoch auch, die Leuchte als Kugelleuchte auszubilden.In principle, the luminaire housing itself can be of any shape accept. In particular, it could be a geometric body, for example in shape a cuboid or cube. However, the lamp would also be conceivable to be trained as a spherical lamp.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Leuchte 1 stellt einen sogenannten Leuchtwürfel dar, der über seine Oberfläche Licht abgibt. Die dargestellte Würfelform eignet sich in besonders vorteilhafter Weise zur Verwendung als Dekorationsleuchte. Es ist allerdings anzumerken, dass die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte auch jegliche andere Form annehmen könnte. Insbesondere wäre auch denkbar, die Leuchte kugelförmig zu gestalten.The lamp 1 according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 represents one so-called illuminated cube, which emits light over its surface. The The illustrated cube shape is particularly suitable for use as a decorative lamp. However, it should be noted that the invention Lamp could take any other form. In particular would also be conceivable to make the lamp spherical.

Ein besonderes Merkmal der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 besteht darin, dass diese über ihre gesamte Oberfläche hinweg Licht abgibt. Das würfelförmige Leuchtengehäuse 2 besteht daher aus sechs transparenten Seitenflächen 4, die durch ein kubisches Gitter 3 gehalten werden. Das Gitter 3 kann beispielsweise durch ein Profilsystem gebildet werden, wie es aus der WO 99/08575 A1 oder der WO 02/26086 A1 bekannt ist. Dieses bekannte Profilsystem eignet sich besonders dann, wenn die Leuchte quaderförmig, insbesondere als Würfel ausgebildet ist. Das aus der WO 99/08575 A1 bekannte Verschlusssystem ermöglicht darüber hinaus jederzeit einen einfachen Zugang in das Gehäuseinnere, um beispielsweise Wartungsarbeiten sowie einen Wechsel von defekten Leuchtmitteln durchzuführen.A special feature of the lamp 1 according to the invention is that it emits light across its entire surface. The cube-shaped Luminaire housing 2 therefore consists of six transparent side surfaces 4 through a cubic grid 3 can be held. The grid 3 can for example by a Profile system are formed, as is known from WO 99/08575 A1 or WO 02/26086 A1 is known. This known profile system is particularly suitable when the lamp is cuboid, in particular as a cube. The Closure system known from WO 99/08575 A1 also enables easy access to the interior of the housing at any time, for example Carry out maintenance work and replace defective lamps.

Wird die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte als Kugelleuchte ausgebildet, so besteht das Gehäuse vorzugsweise aus zwei Halbschalen, die zu der gewünschten Kugel zusammengesetzt werden. Auch in diesem Fall bestehen die Halbschalen ebenso wie die Seitenwände 4 des dargestellten Leuchtwürfels aus einem transparenten weißen Kunststoff. Hierfür bietet sich insbesondere die Verwendung von Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) oder Polycarbonat (PC) an.If the lamp according to the invention is designed as a spherical lamp, this exists Housing preferably made of two half shells that lead to the desired ball be put together. In this case, too, the half-shells exist as well the side walls 4 of the illustrated light cube made of a transparent white Plastic. The use of Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC).

Um den Leuchtwürfel 1 in verschiedenen Farben und Helligkeiten erscheinen zu lassen, sind in dessen Innenraum mehrere Leuchtmittel in Form von Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 angeordnet. Die Lagerung der Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 erfolgt über ein längliches und quaderförmig ausgebildetes Montageelement 5, welches im Zentrum des Gehäuses 2 parallel zu einer der Hauptachsen des Würfels angeordnet ist. Um die Lichtabstrahlung der Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 über die Seitenflächen 4 des Lichtwürfels 1 - insbesondere über die Bodenfläche und die Oberseite - möglichst wenig zu beeinträchtigen, erstreckt sich das Montageelement 5 nur über eine gewisse Höhe über des Gehäuses 2. An den beiden Stirnseiten des Montageelements 5 hingegen sind pyramidenförmige Abschlüsse vorgesehen, welche lediglich eine punktuelle Verbindung mit diesen beiden Seitenflächen 4 bilden, so dass selbst über diese beiden Flächen eine nahezu vollständige Lichtabstrahlung erzielt wird.In order to make the light cube 1 appear in different colors and brightnesses, several light sources in the form of fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 are arranged in the interior thereof. The storage of the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 takes place via an elongated and cuboid-shaped mounting element 5, which is arranged in the center of the housing 2 parallel to one of the main axes of the cube. In order to impair the light radiation of the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 as little as possible via the side surfaces 4 of the light cube 1 — in particular via the base surface and the top side — the mounting element 5 extends only over a certain height above the housing 2 the mounting element 5, on the other hand, pyramid-shaped terminations are provided, which only form a point connection with these two side surfaces 4, so that almost complete light radiation is achieved even over these two surfaces.

Die Ansteuerung der Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 erfolgt vorzugsweise über mehrere Betriebsgeräte 81-84, die über entsprechende elektrische Anschlussmittel mit - nicht dargestellten - Lampenfassungen für die Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 verbunden sind. Wie insbesondere der Schnittdarstellung in Fig. 2 entnommen werden kann, sind die Betriebsgeräte 81-84 im Inneren des Gehäuses des Montageelements 5 angeordnet, während hingegen sich die Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 an den vier Außenwänden des Montageelements 5 befinden. Anstelle der im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellten Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 könnten auch lichtemittierende LEDs oder Glühlampen verwendet werden. The control of the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 is preferably carried out via a plurality of operating devices 8 1 -8 4 , which are connected via corresponding electrical connection means to lamp holders for the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 (not shown). As can be seen in particular from the sectional view in FIG. 2, the operating devices 8 1 -8 4 are arranged inside the housing of the mounting element 5, whereas the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 are located on the four outer walls of the mounting element 5. Instead of the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 shown in the present exemplary embodiment, light-emitting LEDs or incandescent lamps could also be used.

Zu beachten ist, dass das Montageelement 5 mit den darin angeordneten Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 vollständig im Inneren des Gehäuses 2 der Leuchte 1 und beabstandet von den Außenflächen 4 angeordnet ist. Hierbei ist ein gewisser Mindestabstand erwünscht, damit störende Abbildungen von durch die Anordnung im Inneren verursachten Schatten auf den Außenflächen 4 vermieden werden. Zur Vermeidung dieser unerwünschten Schatten tragen insbesondere auch die beiden pyramidenförmigen Abschlüsse 6 an den Stirnseiten des Montageelements 5 bei. Ist das Montageelement 5 beispielsweise zylinderförmig ausgebildet, so könnten in analoger Weise zur Vermeidung der Schatten kegelfömige Abschlüsse an den beiden Stirnseiten verwendet werden.It should be noted that the mounting element 5 with the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 arranged therein is arranged completely inside the housing 2 of the lamp 1 and at a distance from the outer surfaces 4. In this case, a certain minimum distance is desired so that disturbing images of shadows caused by the arrangement on the inside on the outer surfaces 4 are avoided. To avoid these undesirable shadows, the two pyramid-shaped ends 6 on the end faces of the mounting element 5 also contribute in particular. If the mounting element 5 is cylindrical, for example, conical ends on the two end faces could be used in an analogous manner to avoid the shadows.

Das Entstehen von störenden Abbildungen auf den Außenflächen 4 des Lichtwürfels 1 kann auch zusätzlich dadurch verhindert werden, dass die transparenten Seitenflächen 4 lichtstreuende Eigenschaften aufweisen. Beispielsweise könnten in das Material kleine Streukörper eingebracht werden, welche eine Vergleichmäßigung der Helligkeit bewirken.The formation of disturbing images on the outer surfaces 4 of the light cube 1 can also be prevented by the transparent Side surfaces 4 have light-scattering properties. For example, in the material small diffusers are introduced, which is an equalization of brightness.

Eine weitere besondere Eigenschaft der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 besteht darin, dass die Leuchte 1 nicht zwangsläufig über ihre gesamte Außenfläche hinweg in der gleichen Farbe oder Helligkeit erscheinen muss. Statt dessen können verschiedene Lichtabstrahlbereiche hinsichtlich ihrer Helligkeit und/oder Farbe individuell eingestellt werden, wobei sich diese Einstellung zeitlich verändern kann.Another special property of the luminaire 1 according to the invention is that that the luminaire 1 does not necessarily extend across its entire outer surface in the same color or brightness must appear. Instead, different Light emission areas with regard to their brightness and / or color individually can be set, whereby this setting can change over time.

Dieser erfindungsgemäße Effekt wird im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel dadurch erreicht, dass die Außenfläche des Leuchtengehäuses 2 in mehrere Lichtabstrahlbereiche 101-104 unterteilt ist, wobei jeder Lichtabstrahlbereich individuell von ihm zugeordneten Leuchtmitteln 71-74 erhellt werden kann. Die Aufteilung der Lichtabstrahlfläche in die einzelnen Lichtabstrahlbereiche 101-104 wird durch eine Reflektoranordnung erzielt, welche den Innenraum des Gehäuses 2 in jeweils voneinander lichtdicht getrennte Reflektorkammern 91-94 unterteilt. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht die Reflektoranordnung aus vier ebenen Reflektoren 9, die parallel zu den Diagonalen zweier sich gegenüberliegender Seitenflächen 4 - im dargestellten Beispiel der Ober- und Unterseite - des Gehäuses 2 angeordnet sind. Diese Anordnung der Reflektoren 9 kann insbesondere der Darstellung in Fig. 1 sowie der Schnittdarstellung in Fig. 2 entnommen werden. Die Reflektoren 9 folgen dabei der Kontur des Gehäuses 2 und schmiegen sich mit einem Teil ihrer Begrenzungskanten an die Innenseiten des Seitenwände 4 bzw. des Gerüsts 3, so dass im dargestellten Beispiel vier voneinander lichtdicht getrennte Reflektorkammern 91-94 gebildet werden. Die Reflektoren 9 stellen darüber hinaus auch ein Traggerüst für das Montageelement 5 dar und halten dieses.This effect according to the invention is achieved in the exemplary embodiment shown in that the outer surface of the lamp housing 2 is subdivided into a plurality of light emission regions 10 1 -10 4 , each light emission region being individually illuminated by lamps 7 1 -7 4 assigned to it. The division of the light-emitting surface into the individual light-emitting regions 10 1 -10 4 is achieved by a reflector arrangement which divides the interior of the housing 2 into reflector chambers 9 1 -9 4 which are each separated from one another in a light-tight manner. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the reflector arrangement consists of four flat reflectors 9, which are arranged parallel to the diagonals of two opposite side faces 4 - in the example shown, the top and bottom - of the housing 2. This arrangement of the reflectors 9 can be seen in particular from the illustration in FIG. 1 and the sectional illustration in FIG. 2. The reflectors 9 follow the contour of the housing 2 and nestle with part of their boundary edges on the inside of the side walls 4 or the frame 3, so that in the example shown four reflector chambers 9 1 -9 4 separated from one another in a light-tight manner are formed. The reflectors 9 also represent a support structure for the mounting element 5 and hold it.

Durch die Aufteilung des Gehäuses 2 in verschiedene Reflektorkammern 91-94 werden auch die verschiedenen Lichtabstrahlbereiche 101-104 gebildet, wobei jedem Abstrahlbereich 101-104 eine Reflektorkammer 91-94 zugeordnet ist. Im dargestelltem Ausführungsbeispiel besteht ein Lichtabstrahlbereich 101-104 jeweils aus einer entsprechenden Seitenfläche 4 des Lichtwürfels sowie aus den beiden daran angrenzenden Dreiecken an der Ober- und Unterseite des Gehäuses 2, welche durch die Begrenzungskanten der Reflektoren 9 gebildet werden.By dividing the housing 2 in several reflector chambers 9 1 -9 4 and the various Lichtabstrahlbereiche 10 1 -10 4 are formed, wherein each emitting region 10 1 -10 4 has an associated reflector chamber 9 1 -9. 4 In the exemplary embodiment shown, a light emission area 10 1 -10 4 consists in each case of a corresponding side face 4 of the light cube and of the two adjacent triangles on the top and bottom of the housing 2, which are formed by the boundary edges of the reflectors 9.

Wie der Darstellung in Fig. 2 ferner entnommen werden kann, werden die Reflektorkammern 91-94 im Inneren des Leuchtengehäuses 2 zumindest teilweise von den Außenflächen des Montageelements 5 begrenzt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die an den Außenseiten des Montageelements 5 angeordneten Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 jeweils in den entsprechenden Reflektorkammern 91-94 angeordnet sind. Somit kann jeder Lichtabstrahlbereich 101-104 individuell von den im zugeordneten Leuchtstofflampen 71-74 erhellt werden.As can also be seen from the illustration in FIG. 2, the reflector chambers 9 1 -9 4 in the interior of the lamp housing 2 are at least partially delimited by the outer surfaces of the mounting element 5. This has the consequence that the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 arranged on the outer sides of the mounting element 5 are each arranged in the corresponding reflector chambers 9 1 -9 4 . Each light emission area 10 1 -10 4 can thus be individually illuminated by the fluorescent lamps 7 1 -7 4 assigned to it.

Im dargestellten Beispiel sind jedem Lichtabstrahlbereich 101-104 drei Leuchtstofflampen zugeordnet, die Licht in den Farben rot, grün und blau abgeben. Durch ein unterschiedliches Dimmen der verschiedenen Farben können somit in vorbekannter Weise alle verschiedenen Farben des Farbspektrums - insbesondere auch weiß - eingestellt werden. Hierdurch besteht die Möglichkeit, jeden der vier Lichtabstrahlbereiche 101-104 in jeder beliebigen Farbe bzw. Helligkeit individuell einzustellen. Durch die Unterteilung des Gehäuses 2 in verschiedene Reflektorkammern 91-94 wird das Licht der unterschiedlichen Lichtabstrahlbereichen 101-104 zugeordneten Leuchtmittel 71-74 nicht vermischt.In the example shown, each light emission area 10 1 -10 4 is assigned three fluorescent lamps which emit light in the colors red, green and blue. By differently dimming the different colors, all different colors of the color spectrum - in particular also white - can thus be set in a known manner. This makes it possible to individually set each of the four light emission regions 10 1 -10 4 in any color or brightness. By the subdivision of the housing 2 in several reflector chambers 9 1 -9 4 the light from the different light emitting regions 10 1 -10 4 associated luminous means 7 1 -7 4 are not mixed.

Das in der Leuchte gemäß den Fig. 1-3 verwendete Montageelement 5 kann auf einfache Weise aus zwei Stanzplatinen gebildet werden, wie sie in Fig. 4 dargestellt sind. Eine Stanzplatine 15 besteht dabei aus zwei rechteckförmigen Flächen 16, die an ihren Ober- und Unterkanten jeweils Dreiecke 17 aufweisen. Nach dem Ausstanzen eines entsprechend geformten Blechteils wird dieses dann entlang der Verbindungslinie zwischen den beiden rechteckigen Flächen 16 L-förmig gefaltet, wobei die vier Dreiecke 17 anschließend zur Innenseite hin verformt bzw. gebogen werden, um die pyramidenförmigen Abschlüsse 6 zu bilden. Insgesamt wird ein Montageelement 5 aus zwei derartig ausgestalteten und miteinander verbundenen Stanzplatinen 15 gebildet, wobei zur Verbindung der beiden Platinen 15 jeweils an einer Seitenkante eine Verbindungslasche 18 mit entsprechenden Bohrungen 19 angeordnet ist.The mounting element 5 used in the lamp according to FIGS. 1-3 can be on are formed in a simple manner from two punching boards, as shown in FIG. 4 are. A stamping board 15 consists of two rectangular surfaces 16, the have triangles 17 at their upper and lower edges. After this A correspondingly shaped sheet metal part is then punched out along the Connecting line between the two rectangular surfaces 16 folded in an L-shape, the four triangles 17 then being deformed or bent towards the inside to form the pyramid-shaped terminations 6. Overall, one Mounting element 5 from two designed and connected together Stamped boards 15 are formed, with each connecting to the two boards 15 a connecting edge 18 with corresponding bores 19 on one side edge is arranged.

Fig. 5 stellt ein Blechteil dar, welches zur Bildung eines in den Fig. 1-3 dargestellten Reflektors 9 verwendet wird. Das Stanzteil 20 besteht wiederum aus einem rechteckförmigen länglichen Grundkörper 21, von dem aus sich in seinen jeweiligen Endbereichen zwei Dreiecke. 22 seitlich erstrecken. Diese Dreiecke 22 sind zur Erzielung der voneinander lichtdicht getrennten Reflektorkammern im Bereich der kegelförmigen Abschlüsse 6 erforderlich, da sie die Verjüngung der Abschlüsse 6 zur Stirnseite hin ausgleichen. Auch bei diesem Stanzteil ist an dessen Längsseite eine Befestigungslasche 23 vorgesehen, um den Reflektor mit dem Montageelement 5 zu verbinden.Fig. 5 shows a sheet metal part which is used to form a shown in Figs. 1-3 Reflector 9 is used. The stamped part 20 in turn consists of a rectangular elongated base body 21, from which is in its respective Two triangles. 22 extend laterally. These triangles 22 are for Achievement of the reflector chambers separated from each other in a light-tight manner in the area of the tapered ends 6 required because they taper the ends 6 Compensate towards the front. This stamped part is also on the long side a mounting tab 23 is provided to the reflector with the mounting element 5 to connect.

Hierbei weist dieser eine Höhe, Breite und Tiefe von jeweils 700 mm auf und die Außenflächen werden jeweils durch teillichtdurchlässige Kunststoffplatten aus 6 mm dickem PMMA gebildet. Das Montageelement besteht aus einer quaderförmigen Grundstruktur mit einer Querschnittsfläche von 180 x 180 mm und einer Höhe von 650 mm, wobei sich durch die pyramidenförmigen Boden- und Deckflächen eine Gesamthöhe von wiederum 700 mm ergibt. Die Außenfläche des Montageelements besteht aus einem weiß lackiertem Blech und wirkt somit ebenfalls diffus reflektierend.In conclusion, there should be concrete values for an inventive one Embodiment of a light cube can be specified. Here, this one Height, width and depth of 700 mm each and the outer surfaces each with partially translucent plastic sheets made of 6 mm thick PMMA educated. The mounting element consists of a cuboid basic structure with a cross-sectional area of 180 x 180 mm and a height of 650 mm, whereby due to the pyramid-shaped floor and top surfaces a total height of again results in 700 mm. The outer surface of the mounting element consists of a white lacquered sheet and therefore also diffusely reflective.

Die Leuchtmittel werden bei diesem konkreten Ausführungsbeispiel aus jeweils farbigen Leuchtstofflampen gebildet, wobei jeder Reflektorkammer jeweils drei Leuchtstofflampen in den Farben rot, grün und blau zugeordnet sind. Die unterschiedliche Farbigkeit der Leuchtstofflampen wird durch Filterschläuche erzielt, die auf handelsübliche Leuchtstofflampen aufgebracht wurden. Der Abstand zwischen zwei Leuchtstofflampen beträgt jeweils 50 mm.In this specific embodiment, the illuminants are made up of each colored fluorescent lamps formed, each reflector chamber three Fluorescent lamps in the colors red, green and blue are assigned.
