Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mosaic, in particular for walls, ceilings or floors.
  • a mosaic usually consists of a large number of individual Mosai elements spaced apart by joints.
  • Mosaics were used by the ancient Greeks and the ancient Romans, more than 2,000 years ago, for the artistic design of floors and walls. With the help of mosaics, pictures and designs can be created for the design of rooms and squares.
  • Mosaics can be attached to floors, walls and ceilings in in-door areas, e.g. B. in buildings, as well as in out-door areas, so z. B. in outdoor places.
  • the installation can be done in dry rooms or in damp rooms, e.g. B. in swimming pools, saunas and steam baths.
  • the production of mosaics requires a high level of manual skill as well as sophisticated installation technology that is only mastered by a few today.
  • the present invention addresses the problem of an improved for a mosaic of the type mentioned Specify embodiment that makes it possible in particular to achieve additional design effects, thereby increasing the complacency and acceptance of the mosaic.
  • the invention is based on the general idea of integrating light exit elements into the joints that run between the mosaic elements. While in conventional mosaics the joints are of no design significance, the invention makes it possible to set design accents by specifically arranging light exit elements in the joints. In particular, an image or a design within the mosaic can be emphasized and emphasized in a special way. At the same time, indirect lighting of the surface equipped with the mosaic, e.g. B. a floor, wall or ceiling.
  • the invention combines two previously completely independent design options in a special way. " The design of rooms by means of special lighting effects is a common measure in the field of interior design. The design of walls, ceilings and floors by means of mosaics is also common. The combination However, these design options open up a new dimension. that the integration of the light exit elements into the mosaic takes place in the area of the joints, since this does not disturb the arrangement of the mosaic elements, but rather the previously neglected joint can be used to emphasize the respective design and / or to create its own shape.
  • the light exit elements can be formed by light exit ends of optical fibers, in particular glass fibers. This makes it possible to have extremely small light spots in the joints, e.g. B. to put with a diameter of about 1.5 mm. This is advantageous, for example, when a very large number of light exit elements are to be used in the joints or when, for. B. in mosaics with very small mosaic elements, only very narrow joints are available.
  • light exit elements can be used within the same mosaic, each of which is supplied with light via an optical fiber.
  • Such light exit elements can be designed virtually as desired and can therefore be adapted to the most varied interests of the respective mosaic and selected with regard to the respective design.
  • such light exit elements can be formed by glass bodies, in particular by crystal glass bodies, which can be unground, ground or faceted.
  • the light exit elements can also be optical lenses or optical prisms. The design There are basically no limits to the possibilities of the light exit elements. Only the joint width available in each case limits one dimension for the design of the light exit elements.
  • light exit elements can also be used, which are formed by light-emitting diodes and are supplied with current via corresponding electrical cables.
  • Modern light-emitting diodes, or LEDs for short can also be designed in almost any way.
  • very small LEDs can also be produced. It is particularly advantageous, for example, that LEDs can be excited to emit light of different wavelengths, i.e. different colors. Additional effects can be achieved in this way.

  • Known flexible carriers are, for example, fabric mats on which the mosaic elements are glued. The joints are then not yet filled.
  • the optical fibers and / or the electrical cables can now be attached to this flexible carrier. As a result, the lighting can already be integrated into the prefabricated mosaic sections become. This measure simplifies the installation of the mosaic on site.
  • the flexible carrier is expediently arranged on a rigid carrier, which further facilitates the handling of the prefabricated mosaic elements.
  • said rigid support can form a cavity below the mosaic elements for laying the optical fibers and / or the electrical cables.
  • the mosaic section with the rigid support has a defined thickness, regardless of whether and how many optical fibers or electrical cables run in the support. This design makes it easier to prepare the respective surface of the mosaic, which considerably simplifies the installation of the mosaic and its fitting into other coverings.
  • the rigid support is expediently designed so that the thickness of the mosaic or the mosaic section along its entire surface is almost constant and remains constant during processing and in particular is resistant to treading.
  • the optical appearance of the mosaic in particular permanently, can be changed, which gives it a certain liveliness. Furthermore, certain moods can be created and changed, which enables particularly impressive visual experiences and a general stimulation of the senses.
  • the mosaic as a whole or in the area of the partial mosaic arranged behind the transparent plate is given an unusual depth effect, which, particularly in connection with the light exit elements, can create special design possibilities and make it possible to achieve unusual aesthetic effects.
  • a watertight cavity can be designed between the at least one transparent plate and the mosaic or partial mosaic arranged behind it, which is at least partially filled with standing or flowing or moving water.
  • the combination of water and light in a mosaic leads to almost spectacular optical effects, since the light emerging from the light exit elements breaks in the water and is also scattered and reflected.
  • the mosaic which is then expediently attached to a floor, as a whole or at least in the area of the partial mosaic, receives a further special optical design element.

It is also common to integrate essential components of an audio system 22 and a video system 23 into one another.
  • the light source 7 is omitted, since the light-emitting diodes themselves each form a light source. In such an embodiment, a variation of the light intensity and light duration in the case of individual or grouped light-emitting diodes can also be realized by a corresponding control of the LEDs.
  • there are also multi-colored light-emitting diodes which, depending on their current supply, cannot emit in different wavelengths (colors).
  • Such a mosaic 1 can basically follow an essentially arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional structure of a floor, a wall or a ceiling. According to FIGS. 12 and 13, however, it is common for the mosaic 1 to extend at least in one section in one plane. This mosaic plane is indicated in FIG. 13 by a dash-dotted line and designated 24. According to a preferred embodiment, the mosaic 1 can comprise a partial mosaic 1 ′′ in the flat section. This partial mosaic 1 ′′ is in relation to a visible side of the mosaic 1 facing away from the respective background of the mosaic 1 with respect to the mosaic plane
  • the partial mosaic 1 ′′ is thus arranged below the mosaic 1 in FIG. 13. Furthermore, the partial mosaic is 1 '' with the help of a transparent plate
  • this plate 25 covered, this plate 25 extending in the mosaic plane 24.
  • the plate 25 is preferably designed so that it can be walked on and / or attached and in particular consists of glass.
  • This design gives the mosaic 1 a certain amount Three-dimensionality, since the staggered partial mosaic 1 '' creates a depth effect. This depth effect can also be strengthened by the fact that light exit elements 5 are also arranged in the joints in the partial mosaic 1 ′′, which can be exposed to light, for example, by means of a separate light source 1 ′.
  • the partial mosaic 1 ′′ can now be attached to a separate carrier plate 26 which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 27.
  • the axis of rotation 27 is on the mosaic plane 24, in particular perpendicular.
  • the partial mosaic 1 ′′ is arranged so as to be rotatable about the axis of rotation 27 relative to the rest of the mosaic 1.
  • a corresponding rotary drive for example an electric motor, can be provided in order to drive the partial mosaic 1 ′′ in rotation.
  • This construction makes it possible to vary the staggered partial mosaic 1 ′′ by rotating, which enables further special visual effects within the mosaic 1.
  • the partial mosaic 1 ′′ and the plate 25 can be approximately congruent, in which case the axis of rotation 27 is arranged centrally to the partial mosaic 1 ′′ and plate 25.
  • the partial mosaic 1 ′′ parallel to the mosaic plane 24 can also have a greater extent than the plate 25. This has the consequence that on the visible side of the mosaic 1 through the plate 25, only a partial area of the partial mosaic 1 ′ 'is recognizable.
  • the axis of rotation 27 with respect to the plate 25 can now be changed in each case by the partial mosaic 1 ′′ visible by rotating the partial mosaic 1 ′′.
  • the axis of rotation 27 is preferably arranged centrally with respect to the partial mosaic 1 ′′.
  • the plate 25 is preferably arranged in such a way that it complements the mosaic 1 flush and without gaps in the mosaic plane 24.
  • FIG. 14 shows a further embodiment of the mosaic 1, which has a partial mosaic 1 ′′ set back with respect to the mosaic plane 24.
  • a distance 28 between the partial mosaic 1 ′′ and the plate 25 is selected so large that a cavity 28 is created between the partial mosaic 1 ′′ and the plate 25.
  • the distance 28 is at least 10 cm, but can also be at least 20 cm.
  • an embodiment is preferred in which the distance 28 is approximately 30 cm.
  • the formation of the cavity 29 between the plate 25 and the partial mosaic 1 ′′ increases the depth effect in the area of the partial mosaic 1 ′′ extremely.
  • the cavity 29 can be made watertight, which makes it possible to at least partially close the cavity 29 with water 30 fill.
  • the water 30 can be standing like a pond or flowing like a stream or generally moved.
  • a moving body of water 30 can be realized, for example, by means of a wave machine, not shown.
  • the combination with the light exit elements 5, which can also be arranged here in the partial mosaic 1 ′′, results in brilliant play of colors and effects.
  • a particular advantage of light guide technology can be seen here, since it is easily possible to arrange the light guide 6 in a wet area or even under water.
  • 29 light exit elements can also be integrated into the side walls of the cavity.
  • the side walls of the cavity 29 can also be equipped with a section of the mosaic 1.
  • a fog generator which works, for example, with ultrasound, into the partial mosaic 1 ′′ in order in turn to achieve special effects through fog formation.
  • the cavity 29 is an aquarium, which is symbolized in FIG. 14 by a fish 31 that swims in the water 30.
  • embodiments of FIGS. 11 to 14 can be combined with one another in a suitable manner.
  • the partial mosaic V ' can also be rotatably arranged in the embodiment according to FIG. 14.
  • the light exit elements 5 of the partial mosaics 1 ′′ according to the embodiments of FIGS. 12 to 14 can be controlled synchronously with the reproduction of music or generally of sound and / or images.
  • the entire mosaic 1 is to be covered with a transparent plate 25 or with a plurality of transparent plates 25.
  • a covered mosaic 1 can be rotatably arranged analogously to the embodiment according to FIGS. 12 and 13 and / or analogously to the variant according to FIG. 14 with a cavity 29 between its visible side and the at least one plate 25 and / or waterproof or watertight be designed.
  • the cavity 29 is filled with water 30, the water 30 in the cavity 29 can in principle be exposed to light in any manner, for. B.
