Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adhesive fastener part with a lamp and to a method for producing such an adhesive fastener part.
  • Generic fastener parts are known for example from DE 196 46 318 A1.
  • An adhesive fastener which is generally formed from two adhesive fastener parts that can be brought into operative connection with one another, is frequently used in the case of textiles or other items of clothing and is also known under the name Velcro fastener.
  • Further areas of application are, for example, assembly technology, for example for fastening elements of the interior lining in vehicle technology, or generally producing a releasable fastening.
  • the object of the invention is to increase the functionality of adhesive fastener parts and adhesive fasteners and to provide an associated manufacturing method for such a fastener part.
  • the object is achieved by the adhesive fastener part defined in claim 1 and by the manufacturing method specified in the independent claim.
  • Particular embodiments of the invention are defined in the subclaims.
  • the object is achieved in the case of an adhesive fastener part with a multiplicity of adhesive fastener elements such as hooks, mushroom heads or loops, wherein the adhesive fastener part has a flat carrier and the adhesive fastener elements protrude from at least one surface of the carrier, in that the adhesive fastener part has at least in some areas a light source which due to the supply of energy, preferably due to the supply of electrical energy, light is emitted.
  • the illuminant is preferably applied to the carrier as an electroluminescent layer sequence, it being possible for electrode layers, cover layers, reflection layers and / or protective layers to be applied in addition to the actual electroluminescent layer.
  • Electroluminescence is the property of certain substances to emit light as a result of the action of an electric field.
  • the layers can be applied masked or unmasked, or a luminescent layer can also be masked by a correspondingly masked cover layer and / or such a reflection layer.
  • the adhesive closure part is preferably slightly elastically or plastically deformable and can be drawn onto almost any shape.
  • the adhesive closure part can preferably also be deep-drawn while maintaining its adhesiveness and luminosity.
  • the illuminant can be arranged on the carrier and / or in the carrier.
  • the lamp is preferably applied to the flat carrier of the adhesive fastener part using thick or thin film technology, or the lamp is on another Carrier applied, which is connected to the flat carrier of the adhesive fastener part, in particular laminated thereon.
  • the illuminant is applied to the flat carrier by screen printing or offset printing.
  • conductor tracks, connection electrodes or other electrical and / or electronic components can also be produced at the same time.
  • the material of the flat carrier of the adhesive fastener part makes this possible, for example consists of an at least partially semiconducting polymer plastic or corresponding textile materials
  • active electronic components such as field effect transistors can also be monolithically integrated into the adhesive fastener part.
  • hybrid circuit electronics for example to attach circuits or solar cells to or in the carrier or to incorporate them into a textile carrier on particularly thin and therefore flexible silicon substrates of less than 50 m thickness, preferably less than 20 ⁇ m.
  • a voltage converter element can also be integrated, as is often required for the operation of an electroluminescent cell.
  • the energy supply can be provided by an external energy store or the adhesive closure part can have an energy store, in particular an electrochemical energy store using thin or thick-film technology.
  • the carrier and / or the adhesive fastener elements are preferably produced from a polymer plastic, in particular from polyolefins such as, for example, polypropylene or polyethylene, from polyamide, from polyester or from a biodegradable material.
  • the plastic can be thermoplastic and can be used for the production of
  • a method according to DE 19646 318 A1 can be used for adhesive fastener elements.
  • a thermoplastic for example an acrylate plastic, can also be used, in which case the crosslinking can be controlled by any energy input, in particular by radiation and / or by
  • the adhesive fastener elements are preferably formed in one piece with the carrier.
  • the adhesive fastener elements can also be produced as described in DE 101 06 705 C1, in particular with an application device by means of which the adhesive fastener elements are built up in droplets which are dispensed in succession.
  • illuminations or information displays can also be installed easily, with a high degree of freedom of shape and, in a space-saving manner and, if necessary, also removable, even in hard-to-reach places.
  • emergency lighting that is easy to install can be realized in this way.
  • glare-free area lights can be realized, also as a replacement or in addition to conventional lighting means.
  • the devices according to the invention are thin, have a low weight, are adjustable in their luminosity and / or color temperature, and provide explosion proof lighting. Due to the combination with the adhesive fastener part, even complex two- and three-dimensional geometries can be safely and permanently illuminated evenly or with a predefinable light distribution.
  • the service life potential is large compared to the known lamps, in particular compared to the lamps having a filament.
  • Connection and connection contacts as well as the control electronics can be integrated into the touch-and-close fastener.
  • a receiver can be integrated into the adhesive closure part, through which a control signal can be received and then the illuminant is switched on or off.
  • the wavelength of the emitted light can be in the range visible and / or invisible to humans, for example also in the infrared range, so that even low light signal strengths can be detected by thermal imaging cameras.
  • the illuminant in word and / or image form, in particular printed on it.
  • the illuminant is preferably arranged on a surface of the adhesive fastener part opposite the adhesive fastener elements.
  • adhesive fastener elements can also protrude from both surfaces of the carrier.
  • a partial surface free of adhesive fastener elements can also be provided on an area which otherwise has adhesive fastener elements, for applying the illuminant, in particular when the carrier of the adhesive fastener part is transparent. In this way, the lamp and / or its electrical contact is in any case protected by the carrier after the adhesive closure part has been attached.
  • the carrier of the adhesive fastener part can also be a textile product, in particular a product produced by weaving, knitting, knitting, braiding or embroidery.
  • individual threads or groups of threads, in particular warp and / or weft threads, of different layers of the textile product can be designed as connecting lines, for example by these being formed by conductive threads or having a conductive coating.
  • the illuminant is preferably arranged between two layers of the textile carrier, the emitted light being able to shine through the cover layer. In this case, it is also possible to incorporate, for example, weave, the information note to be illuminated by the illuminant into the textile cover layer.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing an adhesive fastener part with a lamp as described above, in that the lamp is applied to the carrier already having the fastener elements.
  • the illuminant is applied, in particular printed, to the flat carrier using thick or thin layer technology. This is particularly advantageous if the adhesive fastener elements and the flat carrier are produced in one piece by thermoplastic molding.
  • an electrical contact geometry of the illuminant is also possible.
  • the adhesion of the illuminant to be applied to the carrier of the adhesive closure part can be improved by a surface treatment, in particular by a Gas atmosphere increasing polarity of the near-surface molecules of the carrier.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross section through an adhesive closure with an adhesive closure part according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the adhesive closure part of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the invention
  • FIG 5 shows a fourth exemplary embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 6 shows an application of an adhesive fastener part according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross section through an adhesive fastener with an adhesive fastener part 1 according to the invention.
  • This has a large number of fastener elements 2 arranged in rows and columns, which are formed in one piece with a flat carrier 3 from a thermoplastic moldable plastic and from a first Surface 4 of the carrier 3 protrudes obliquely and preferably at a right angle.
  • An illuminant 5 is arranged on the carrier 3 on the second surface 6 opposite the first surface 4.
  • the illuminant 5 is applied in thick-film technology, in particular by screen printing, to the carrier 3, which already has the adhesive fastener elements 2 and has thus been produced, and in addition to an electrically conductive base electrode 7 and an electrically also conductive but transparent cover electrode 9, comprises a luminous layer 8 arranged between them has a filler matrix 11 and particles 10 of an electroluminescent substance embedded therein. When an electric field is applied, the particles 10 emit light, as indicated by the arrows 12.
  • the base electrode 7 is designed as a reflection layer in order to increase the light yield.
  • Suitable electroluminescent substances are zinc sulfides and related compounds, the color of the light emitted being determined by the manufacturing process and / or by admixtures.
  • AC voltages between 50 and 200 volts are currently required, with a frequency between 100 Hertz and 1 kHz.
  • a higher voltage usually results in a higher luminance; by varying the frequency, the color of the emitted light can be changed in certain areas; alternatively or in addition, the color can be adjusted by admixtures.
  • the layer thickness ratios of both the carrier 3 including the adhesive fastener elements 2 and the illuminant 5 are not shown to scale in the figures, in particular individual layers are shown enlarged for the purpose of illustration.
  • the illuminant 5 can also have more than three layers, especially other layers for protection, moisture barrier or covering.
  • the adhesive fastener part 1 according to the invention can, as shown in FIG. 1, be joined together with a further adhesive fastener part 13 which is practically identical with respect to the carrier 3, in particular the fastener elements 2, 14 can be detachably engaged with one another, or also with a textile adhesive fastener element or be put together in a textile garment.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the adhesive fastener part 1 of FIG. 1. From this it can be seen that in this exemplary embodiment the illuminant 5 does not completely cover the carrier 3 of the adhesive fastener part 1. Electrically conductive connection electrodes and connection lines 15, 16 are applied, in particular printed, on the second surface 6 opposite the adhesive closure elements 2. These contact the associated connection electrodes of the illuminant 5. When an electrical voltage in the range of approximately 100 volts is applied, light is emitted according to arrow 12. An information signal can be printed on the visible side surface 17 of the illuminant 5, in the present case “MICROPLAST” with “ Arrow”.
  • FIG. 3 shows a second exemplary embodiment of an adhesive fastener part 101 according to the invention.
  • the adhesive fastener elements 102 are arranged on the same surface as the illuminant 105.

  • the carrier 203 contacts the illuminant 205 arranged on the second surface 206, the base electrode 207 of which in the corresponding areas likewise has electrically conductive connection electrodes 222 which are electrically connected to the electrically conductive adhesive fastener elements 202.
  • the adhesive closure part 201 and in particular the illuminant 205 can be electrically contacted from the rear side of the carrier 203 opposite the illuminant 205, for example via external contact pieces 223.
  • FIG. 5 shows a fourth exemplary embodiment of an adhesive closure part 301 according to the invention, which is located on both sides of the illuminant 305 each has a carrier 303, 303a with adhesive closure elements 302, 302a on the surface facing away from the illuminant 305.
  • FIG. 6 shows an application of an adhesive fastener part 1 according to the invention, only for the sake of clarity, no dividing line between carrier 3 and illuminant 5 (see FIG. 1) is shown.
  • the adhesive fastener part 1 is fixed by means of the adhesive fastener elements 2 to a support body 24, the surface of which is formed, for example, by a textile fleece material, or on the surface of which a further fastener part 13 is fixed, for example as a deep-drawn part, over the entire area or in some areas.
  • the adhesive fastener part 1 according to the invention uniform all-round illumination according to the light arrows 12 is ensured in spite of the projecting structure of the support body 24, in particular shadowing of the region below the projection of the support body 24 is avoided.
  • the adhesive fastener part 1 according to the invention can be shaped as a deep-drawn part while maintaining the adhesive fastener ability and the luminosity, so that in any case a fitting accuracy of even complex shaped support bodies 24 is guaranteed.
