Description

Beschreibung:Description:

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bauteil, wie z.B. eine Wand, eine Decke oder ein Boden, aus Glasbausteinen in einer mörtellosen Verlegeart.The invention relates to a component, such as e.g. a wall, a ceiling or a floor, from glass blocks in a mortarless Installation method.

Glasbausteine sind hohle, meist eckige Glaselemente, die industriell aus zwei Glasschalen verschweißt werden und bei der Errichtung von Mauern oder Fußböden zur Anwendung kommen.Glass blocks are hollow, mostly angular Glass elements made of two glass bowls be welded and at the Erection of walls or floors to Application come.

In den herkömmlichen Verwendungstechniken wird unterschieden in nasse und trockene Verlegeart:

  • Bei der nassen Verlegung der Glasbausteine werden die Steine mit einem feuchten Bindemittel, wie z.B. Fugenmörtel aneinandergereiht, meist werden in den Fugenquerschnitten Rundstähle als Bewehrung gegen Durchbiegung der Wand eingesetzt. Nach Aushärtung des Mörtels besteht ein fester Verbund zwischen Glasbausteinen und Fugen. Der Nachteil dieser, seit langem angewandten Technik liegt in der Unverrückbarkeit, der nicht möglichen Wiederverwendbarkeit der Glasbausteine nach Rückbau der Wand, dem hohen Montageaufwand, den breiten Fugen und der damit einhergehenden geringeren Transparenz sowie dem höherem Wärmedurchlass. Eine im Bauteil integrierte Beleuchtung ist bis heute nicht Stand der Technik.
  • In the conventional application techniques, a distinction is made in wet and dry installation mode:
  • During the wet laying of the glass bricks, the bricks are lined up with a moist bonding agent, such as joint mortar, usually in the joint cross-sections round steel used as reinforcement against deflection of the wall. After hardening of the mortar there is a strong bond between glass blocks and joints. The disadvantage of this technique, which has been used for a long time, lies in the immutability, the inability to reuse the glass bricks after dismantling the wall, the high assembly costs, the wide joints and the associated lower transparency as well as the higher heat transmission. A lighting integrated in the component is still not state of the art.
  • In verschiedenen Patenten wie z.B. DE 69429178 und DE 69605777 wurden weiterentwickelte Systeme aufgezeigt, die eine Verlegung der Glasbausteine zu Wänden mit vorgefertigten, mörtellosen und daher trockenen Konstruktionen ermöglichen.In various patents, e.g. DE 69429178 and DE 69605777 have been further developed Systems that show a Laying the glass blocks to walls with prefabricated, mortarless and therefore allow dry constructions.

    Diese Trockenverlegesysteme bieten den Vorteil der kurzen Verlegezeit und meist der ansprechenderen Optik wegen der schmaleren Fugen, des weiteren ist weniger handwerkliches Geschick für die Verlegung notwendig. Bei einigen dieser Systeme ohne Verklebung der Steine können, nach dem Rückbau der Wände, sämtliche Glasbausteine wiederverwendet werden. Auch für diese Technik sind integrierte Beleuchtungselemente zur Flächenbeleuchtung bisher nicht Stand der Technik.These dry laying systems offer the Advantage of the short laying time and mostly the appealing look because of the narrower joints, the other is less manual skill for laying necessary. For some of these systems without gluing the stones, after the dismantling of the walls, all Glass blocks are reused. Also for this technique are integrated lighting elements for area lighting so far not state of the art.

    Seit einiger Zeit sind auch Glasbausteine erhältlich, die durch angeraute Außenseiten eine gleichmäßig satinierte Oberfläche haben und das Licht sehr gleichmäßig brechen, diese Steine sind jedoch sehr empfindlich gegen Verschmutzung, insbesondere des sogenannten Zementschleiers, der beim Ausfugen im Nassverlegesystem entsteht. Die Verwendung dieser Steine ist damit vorteilhafter in trockenen Konstruktionen.Glass bricks have also been around for some time now Available through roughened outsides have a uniformly satin finished surface and break the light very evenly, however, these stones are very sensitive against pollution, in particular the so-called cement veil, the during grouting in the wet laying system arises. The use of these stones is thus more advantageous in dry constructions.

    In vielen Fällen fortschrittlicher und ästhetischer Raumgestaltung unter Verwendung von Glasbausteinen ist es wünschenswert, eine ansprechende Form ergänzender Raumbeleuchtung zu erreichen.In many cases more advanced and aesthetic Interior design using of glass blocks, it is desirable an attractive form complementary To achieve room lighting.

    Dabei ist die Abstrahlung von diffusem, einoder mehrfarbigen Licht einer gläsernen Wand besonders wirkungsvoll und trägt zur Verbesserung des Wohngefühls bei.The radiation is diffuse, single or multicolored light of a glassy Wall especially effective and contribute to Improvement of the living feeling.

    Die wandbegleitende Hinterleuchtung einer Glasbausteinwand spielt in der modernen Architektur häufig eine Rolle, jedoch immer mit dem Nachteil, dass die Wand nur von einer Seite als Lichtwand mit hohem ästhetischen Reiz wahrgenommen wird, da auf der anderen Wandseite die Leuchtkörper liegen und unvorteilhaft sichtbar sind. Eine bekannte Methode ist das Ausbilden einer Hohlwand aus zwei Reihen Glasbausteinen und in dem Wandzwischenraum platzierten Leuchtelementen, diese Ausführungsart ist allerdings sehr aufwändig, da die doppelte Anzahl Glasbausteine benötigt wird als bei einer einfachen Wand und sehr viel Platz für die Stellfläche der Wand verloren geht.The wall-accompanying backlighting of a Glass block wall plays in the modern Architecture often matters, but always with the disadvantage that the wall is only from one side as a light wall with high aesthetic Stimulus is perceived as being on the other wall side, the filament lie and are unfavorably visible. A known method is the formation of a Cavity wall of two rows of glass blocks and placed in the wall gap Luminous elements, this embodiment is but very complex, because the double Number of glass blocks is needed as at a simple wall and a lot of space gets lost for the footprint of the wall.

    Bei dem 2001 entstandenen Wohngebäude Heinersdorfer Str. 35 in Berlin Weißensee, Deutschland, wurden vom Architekten Vorderwülbecke in Röhren angeordnete Leuchtdioden zur Hinterleuchtung von einer Wand aus Glasbausteinen verwendet, die aber nur an beiden Wandenden angeordnet wurden und die Wand nur seitlich am Rand beleuchten.In 2001, the residential building Heinersdorfer Str. 35 in Berlin Weissensee, Germany, were designed by the architect Vorderwülbecke arranged in tubes Light-emitting diodes for backlighting of one Wall of glass blocks used that but only arranged at both ends of the wall were and the wall just sideways on the edge illuminate.

    Ferner wurden verschiedene Methoden entwickelt, Glasbausteine in Verbindung mit Beleuchtungselementen einzusetzen. So werden in der US4951181 Teile von Möbeln aus Glasbausteinen hinterleuchtet. In der US6457847 wird ein einzelner Glasbaustein als Linse einer Außenleuchte eingesetzt.Further, different methods were used developed glass blocks in conjunction with Use lighting elements. So be in the US4951181 parts of furniture backlit from glass blocks. In US6457847 is a single glass block used as a lens of an outdoor lamp.

    Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die aus dem genannten Stand der Technik bekannten Nachteile zu vermeiden, und ein neu gestaltetes, modulares, trockenes Konstruktionssystem zur Verlegung von Glasbausteinen für die Errichtung von in sich beleuchtenden Wänden, Böden oder Decken und Möbeln zur Verfügung zu stellen.The present invention is therefore the Task based on the said Known prior art disadvantages and a redesigned, modular, dry construction system for Laying glass blocks for construction of self-illuminating walls, Floors or ceilings and furniture for To make available.

    Erfindungsgemäß wird die gestellte Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des ersten Anspruchs gelöst.According to the task set by the characteristic features solved the first claim.

    In den Unteransprüchen sind weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung angegeben.In the subclaims are further advantageous Embodiments of the invention specified.

    Danach weisen die Verbindungselemente mindestens in einer Achsrichtung Zwischenräume auf, innerhalb deren, auf der Flanke der Glasbausteine, ein oder mehrere Beleuchtungselemente so angeordnet sind, dass die Leuchtwirkung zu beiden Seiten des Bauteils entfaltet wird, wobei das Leuchtmittel an sich durch die mörtellosen Verbindungselemente zu beiden Bauteilseiten verdeckt wird.Then have the fasteners Interspaces at least in one axial direction on, within, on Flank of the glass blocks, one or more Lighting elements arranged in this way are that the lighting effect to both Pages of the component is unfolded, wherein the bulb itself by the mortarless Connecting elements to both sides of the component is covered.

    Das mittig im Fugenzwischenraum angeordnet lineare Beleuchtungselement ist somit von beiden Wand-, Boden oder Deckenseiten nur indirekt durch die Glasbausteine leuchtend sichtbar . Dabei kann das Beleuchtungselement leisten-, band-, schnur- oder schlauchförmig ausgebildet sein.The centrally located in the joint gap is linear lighting element thus from both wall, floor or ceiling sides only indirectly through the glass blocks brightly visible. It can do that Lighting element, band, cord or tubular formed be.

    Über die Flanken der Glasbausteine und einem sich darauf befindlichen Diffusor wird das Licht des Leuchtmittels gebrochen und in die Außenflächen der Glasbausteine geleitet, so dass das Bauteil zu beiden Seiten gleichmäßig Licht abstrahlt.Over the flanks of the glass blocks and a diffuser located on it becomes the light of the bulb is broken and directed into the outer surfaces of the glass bricks, so that the component is on both sides evenly emits light.

    Das Bauteil erfüllt somit nicht nur die üblichen Eigenschaften wie Raumabschluss, Sichtschutz, Wetter-, Temperatur- undThe component thus fulfills not only the usual Properties like room closure, Screening, weather, temperature and

    Schallschutz, sondern dient gleichermaßen der Beleuchtung zu beiden Seiten des Bauteils. Soundproofing, but serves equally the lighting on both sides of the component.

    Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht in der Möglichkeit, das erfindungsgemäße Bauteil modular aufzubauen. Dazu durchlaufen die Grundträger und Fugenleisten die einzelnen Schichten des Bauteils nicht durchgängig, sondern sind mindestens in der Leuchtenrichtung auf die Länge eines oder mehrerer Glasbausteine beschränkt. Entsprechend zu dieser Anordnung sind auch die Leuchtelemente als Modul ausgebildet und austauschbar zwischen den Glasbausteinen angeordnet. Da Glasbausteine hohe Fertigungstoleranzen aufweisen, die oft bis zu 2 mm betragen können, ist zu deren Ausgleich die Verwendung von mindestens zwei umlaufenden Abdichtungen aus elastischem Material um den Glasbaustein von Vorteil. Diese müssen vor der Montage der Module auf die Glasbausteine aufgezogen werden.A further advantageous embodiment of Invention consists in the possibility that modular component according to the invention. To go through the basic carrier and grooved the individual layers of the component not continuous, but are at least in the lighting direction to the length of one or more glass blocks limited. Correspondingly too This arrangement are also the lighting elements designed as a module and interchangeable between the glass blocks arranged. Since glass blocks high manufacturing tolerances often up to 2 mm is to compensate for them the use of at least two circumferential seals made of elastic Material around the glass block of Advantage. These must be before mounting the Modules mounted on the glass blocks become.

    Durch die Kombination von gebräuchlichen Materialien kann die Erfindung sehr preiswert hergestellt werden.By the combination of common Materials, the invention can be very cheap getting produced.

    Die Merkmale der Erfindung stellen sich wie folgt dar:

  • Das Bauteil, wie z.B. eine Wand, eine Decke, ein Boden oder ein Möbelstück wird durch eine zweidimensionale Aneinanderreihung von Glasbausteinen 3 gebildet. In den horizontalen und/oder vertikalen Fugen werden lineare Leuchtelemente 4 ,14 mittig angeordnet, so dass keine Druck- oder Zugkräfte auf die Leuchtelemente 4, 14 ausgeübt werden. Der Verbund der Glasbausteine erfolgt einerseits durch Grundträger 1, die jeweils in einer Fugenrichtung, lotrecht zu den Leuchtmitteln 4 verlegt sind. Die Grundträger 1 sind etwas schmaler als die Glasbausteinaußenkanten oder weisen Profilierungen auf, so dass durch die Ãœberlappung der Außenkanten der Glasbausteine 3 selbige nicht aus dem Bauteil herausfallen können. Die Grundträger 1 sind mindestens so dick, dass sich zwei benachbarte Glasbausteine bei gegenseitigem Druck nicht berühren. Die Kanten der Grundträger 1 oder der Dichtungen 6, 15 können dabei abgerundet oder profiliert werden, damit sie sich in die Hohlkehle der Glasbausteine zwischen der überlappenden Kante und der Flanke besser einfügen.
  • The features of the invention are as follows:
  • The component, such as a wall, a ceiling, a floor or a piece of furniture is formed by a two-dimensional juxtaposition of glass blocks 3 . In the horizontal and / or vertical joints linear lighting elements 4, 14 are arranged centrally, so that no pressure or tensile forces on the lighting elements 4, 14 are exercised. The composite of the glass blocks takes place on the one hand by base support 1, which are laid in a joint direction, perpendicular to the bulbs 4 . The base support 1 are slightly narrower than the glass block outer edges or have profilings, so that by the overlapping of the outer edges of the glass blocks 3 selbige can not fall out of the component. The base support 1 are at least so thick that two adjacent glass blocks do not touch each other at mutual pressure. The edges of the base support 1 or the seals 6 , 15 can be rounded or profiled so that they better fit into the groove of the glass blocks between the overlapping edge and the flank.
  • In jeder Fugenhöhe lotrecht zur Grundträgerlage 1 ist jeweils mindestens eine Öffnung oder Aussparung im Grundträger 1 angebracht, durch die das lineare Leuchtelement 4, 14 durchgeführt werden kann. Auch ein in zwei Teile geteilter Grundträger 13 mit stellenweisen Verbindungsrippen 18 ist möglich, sodass auch in dieser Achsrichtung Leuchtelemente 4, 14 angeordnet werden können. In der Regel reicht aber die Anordnung der Leuchtelemente 4, 14 in jeder Fuge einer Achsrichtung aus.In each joint height perpendicular to the base carrier sheet 1 is mounted at least one opening or recess in the base carrier 1, can be carried out by the linear light-emitting element 4, 14th Also, a divided into two parts base support 13 with point-wise connecting ribs 18 is possible, so that in this axial direction lighting elements 4 , 14 can be arranged. In general, however, the arrangement of the lighting elements 4 , 14 in each joint of an axial direction is sufficient.

    Die Grundträger 1 haben in jeder Fugenlage Aussparungen oder Verbindungsnuten für die Aufnahme der Fugenleisten 2, 13. Diese sind beidseitig parallel zum Leuchtelement 4, 14 angeordnet und stellen so einerseits den Verbund der Glasbausteine 3 untereinander sicher, weiterhin verhindern sie, dass das Leuchtelement 4, 14 gequetscht wird und von außen direkt sichtbar wird. Auch eine Ausführung mit Aussparungen jeweils zur Hälfte in den Grundträgern 1 und zur Hälfte in den Fugenleisten 2 ist möglich. Die Kanten der Fugenleisten 2 oder der Dichtungen 6, 15 können dabei abgerundet werden, damit sie sich in die Hohlkehle der Glasbausteine zwischen der überlappenden Kante und der Flanke 12 besser einfügen.The base support 1 have recesses or connecting grooves for receiving the joint strips 2, 13 in each joint position. These are arranged on both sides parallel to the light-emitting element 4, 14 and thus ensure on the one hand the composite of the glass blocks 3 with each other, they also prevent the light-emitting element 4, 14 is squeezed and is directly visible from the outside. An embodiment with recesses in each half in the base supports 1 and half in the joint strips 2 is possible. The edges of the joint strips 2 or the seals 6, 15 can be rounded so that they better fit into the groove of the glass blocks between the overlapping edge and the edge 12 .

    Grundträger 1 und Fugenleisten 2, 13 bilden also ein zusammengestecktes Gitterwerk, in das die Glasbausteine 3 passend eingefügt werden und durch die Klemmwirkung gegen Herausfallen gesichert sind. Hierbei können Grundträger 1 und Fugenleisten 2, 13 über die Bauteillänge und - höhe durchlaufend ausgestaltet sein oder modular in kürzeren, jeweils auf die Glasbausteinabmessungen abgestimmten Abschnitten . Das Gitterwerk ist mindestens in einer Achsrichtung geteilt, so dass das lineare Leuchtelement 4, 14 dazwischen angeordnet werden kann.Base support 1 and joint strips 2, 13 thus form a mated latticework, in which the glass blocks 3 are inserted fitting and secured by the clamping action against falling out. In this case, base carrier 1 and joint strips 2, 13 can be designed to run continuously over the component length and height, or modularly in shorter sections, each adapted to the glass block dimensions. The latticework is divided at least in one axial direction, so that the linear luminous element 4, 14 can be arranged therebetween.

    Das Gitterwerk besteht entweder aus einem elastischen Material wie Holz oder Kunststoff, oder mit Kunststoff überzogenem Metall, damit die Glasbausteine nicht durch den direkten Kontakt mit einem härteren Material beschädigt werden, oder es besteht aus Metall und es wird umlaufend ein elastisches Puffermaterial 6, 15 zur Verhinderung des Glas-Metallkontaktes angeordnet. Dieses elastische Material kann gleichzeitig die Funktion der Abdichtung 6, 15 gegen Regen- und Tauwasser, Wasserdampf, Schall und Insekten übernehmen, aber auch eine nachträgliche Verfugung der Wand mit einem dauerelastischen Material wie z.B. Silikon kann als Abdichtung vorgenommen werden.The latticework consists either of an elastic material such as wood or plastic, or plastic coated metal, so that the glass bricks are not damaged by the direct contact with a harder material, or it is made of metal and it is circumferentially an elastic buffer material 6, 15 for Prevention of glass-metal contact arranged. This elastic material can simultaneously perform the function of the seal 6, 15 against rain and condensation water, water vapor, sound and insects, but also a subsequent grouting the wall with a permanently elastic material such as silicone can be made as a seal.

    Die Glasbausteine 3 erhalten umlaufend auf deren Flanke 12, an dem das Leuchtmittel angeordnet wird, also auf dem im eingebauten Zustand nicht mehr sichtbaren Bereich, einen Diffusor 5 wie z.B. lichtdurchlässige, weiße Farbe, sofern sie nicht schon werksmäßig entsprechend ausgestattet sind. Durch diesen Diffusor 5 kann das Leuchtmittel gleichmäßiger abstrahlen, was zu einer verbesserten Lichtwirkung führt. Die vorteilhafteste Lichtwirkung wird durch Verwendung von mattierten, wie z.B. sandgestrahlten oder geätzten oder speziell lichtbrechenden Glasbausteinen erzielt.The glass blocks 3 receive circumferentially on the edge 12 at which the light source is arranged, ie on the not visible in the installed state area, a diffuser 5 such as translucent, white color, unless they are already factory equipped accordingly. Through this diffuser 5 , the lamp can emit more uniformly, resulting in an improved lighting effect. The most advantageous light effect is achieved by using frosted, such as sandblasted or etched or special refractive glass blocks.

    Als Leuchtelement 4, 14 werden vorzugsweise Platinen mit SMD-LEDs (LED-Strings) 14, ein LED-Lichtschlauch oder handelsüblicher Lichtschlauch eingesetzt.As a luminous element 4 , 14 boards are preferably used with SMD LEDs (LED strings) 14 , an LED light tube or commercially available light tube.

    Die vorzugsweise zu verwendenden LED-Strings 14 sind steckbare Platinen und entsprechen zur Verwendung in der modularen Bauweise der Erfindung den Abmessungen eines Glasbausteins, wie auch die modularen Fugenleisten 13.The preferably to be used LED strings 14 are pluggable boards and correspond for use in the modular design of the invention, the dimensions of a glass block, as well as the modular joint strips thirteenth

    An jedem Ende einer LED-Platine befindet sich ein Mikrostecker, der in den Verbindungsstecker 16 im Bauteil eingesetzt werden kann und über den die Stromversorgung des Leuchtmittels erfolgt.At each end of an LED board is a micro-connector, which can be inserted into the connector 16 in the component and via which the power supply of the light source takes place.

    Da handelsübliche LEDs im Großteil nur mit einem Winkel von 60 grd abstrahlen, ist die Auswahl von transparenten Platinen von Vorteil, mit einer Vorrichtung zur Ablenkung eines Teils des abgestrahlten Lichts auf die Unterseite der Lichtfuge.Since commercial LEDs radiate in the majority only with an angle of 60 grd, the selection of transparent boards is advantageous, with a device for deflecting a portion of the radiated light on the underside of the light gap.

    Ein LED-Lichtschlauch besteht aus einer Aneinanderreihung von LEDs, die in flexiblem, transparentem Kunststoffschlauch eingebettet sindAn LED light tube consists of a Stringing LEDs in flexible, transparent plastic hose are embedded

    Die LED-Technik ist zwar derzeit noch wesentlich teurer als die weiter unten aufgeführten Leuchtmittel mit Glühlämpchen, hat aber wesentliche Vorteile: Zum einen sind LEDs erheblich kleiner als Glühlämpchen und sind daher in der Erfindung besser einzusetzen. Zum anderen ist der Stromverbrauch wesentlich geringer als der von Glühlämpchen und die Lebensdauer ist nahezu unbegrenzt. Hinzu kommt, dass verschiedenfarbige Leuchtdioden unterschiedlich angesteuert werden können und damit das gesamte Farbspektrum wiedergegeben werden kann.The LED technology is currently still essential more expensive than those listed below Illuminant with incandescent bulbs, has but significant advantages: For one thing LEDs considerably smaller than incandescent bulbs and are therefore better to use in the invention. On the other hand is the power consumption much lower than that of Incandescent and the life is almost unlimited. In addition, there are different colors LEDs differ can be controlled and thus reproduced the entire color spectrum can be.

    Ein Bauelement wie zum Beispiel eine Wand in der o.g. Bauweise könnte also nicht nur als einfarbige Leuchte dienen, sondern auch noch in wechselnden Farbspektren leuchten.A component such as a Wall in the o.g. Construction could be so not just serve as a single color light, but also in changing color spectra to shine.

    Darüber hinaus ist auch möglich, dass jede LED-Platinen 14 in der Modulbauweise farblich separat angesteuert werden kann, sodass das Bauteil als Großmatrixbildschirm eingesetzt werden kann.In addition, it is also possible that each LED boards 14 in the modular design can be controlled separately in color, so that the component can be used as a large matrix screen.

    Der Lichtschlauch ist ein kostengünstiges Material, das aus einer Aneinanderreihung von Glühlämpchen besteht, die in flexiblem, transparentem Kunststoffschlauch eingebettet sind. Durch die Flexibilität kann der Lichtschlauch auch um die Ecken der Glasbausteine 3 verlegt werden.The light tube is a low-cost material that consists of a series of light bulbs embedded in flexible, transparent plastic tubing. Due to the flexibility, the light tube can also be laid around the corners of the glass blocks 3 .

    Aus den Fig. 7, 8, 9 und 10 sind Einzelheiten der zweiten, modularen Ausführungsform der Erfindung mit durchlaufenden Grundträgern 1 und modularen Fugenleisten 13 ersichtlich.Details of the second, modular embodiment of the invention with continuous base supports 1 and modular joint strips 13 can be seen in FIGS. 7, 8, 9 and 10.

    In Fig. 7 sind die umlaufenden, elastischen Dichtungen 15 dargestellt, die vor der Montage der Glasbausteine 3 auf deren Umrandung gezogen werden. Dadurch lassen sich Fertigungstoleranzen bei der Herstellung der Glasbausteine in der Konstruktion des erfindungsgemäßen Bauteils, insbesondere in den Knotenpunkten vorteilhaft ausgleichen. In Fig. 7, the circumferential elastic seals 15 are shown, which are drawn before mounting the glass blocks 3 on the edge thereof. As a result, manufacturing tolerances in the manufacture of the glass bricks in the construction of the component according to the invention, in particular in the nodes can be compensated advantageous.

    Fig. 8, 9 und 10 zeigen die Anordnung der Nebenträger 13 und der LED-Platine 14 in der zweiten, modularen Ausführungsform der Erfindung. Hier können die Glasbausteine 3 durch leichtes auseinander drücken der Grundträger 1 in die Konstruktion eingesetzt werden, Fig. 8. Danach lassen sich die auf die Länge des Glasbausteins zerlegten Fugenleisten 13 und die LED Platinen 14 einsetzen, Fig 9.Figures 8, 9 and 10 show the arrangement of the secondary beams 13 and the LED board 14 in the second, modular embodiment of the invention. Here, the glass blocks 3 can be used by slightly pushing apart the base support 1 in the construction, Fig. 8. Thereafter, the disassembled to the length of the glass block joint strips 13 and the LED boards 14 can be used, Fig. 9.

    Dabei sind spezielle Aussparungen vorgesehen, über welche die Fugenleisten 13 gegen den Widerstand der elastischen Dichtungen 15 auswechselbar sind, Fig 10. Diese Technik erlaubt den Austausch von einzelnen Leuchtelementen 14 auf einfache Weise.In this case, special recesses are provided, via which the joint strips 13 are exchangeable against the resistance of the elastic seals 15 , Fig 10. This technique allows the replacement of individual lighting elements 14 in a simple manner.

    Fig. 11 und 12 verdeutlichen die dritte, modulare Ausführungsform der Erfindung mit modularen Fugenleisten 13 in beiden Achsrichtungen. Über spezielle Aussparungen sind horizontale und vertikale Fugenleisten 13 in Knotenpunktverbinder 18 einschiebbar. Durch ein Befestigungsmittel 17, wie z.B. eine Gewindeschraube können die Fugenleisten 13 gegen das Herausrutschen gesichert werden.11 and 12 illustrate the third, modular embodiment of the invention with modular joint strips 13 in both axial directions. About special recesses horizontal and vertical joint strips 13 in node connector 18 can be inserted. By a fastening means 17 , such as a threaded screw, the joint strips 13 can be secured against slipping out.

    Die Abdichtung über modulare, auf die Glasbausteine aufziehbare, flexible Dichtungen 15 sowie die Beleuchtung über modular Einsteckbare LED-Platinen 14 erfolgt genau wie zuvor unter Fig. 7, 8, 9 und 10 beschrieben.The sealing via modular, can be pulled onto the glass blocks, flexible seals 15 and the illumination via modular plug-in LED boards 14 is exactly as previously described in FIGS. 7, 8, 9 and 10.
