Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sitzgelegenheit nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine derartige Sitzgelegenheit wird von der Anmelderin beispielsweise unter der Produktbezeichnung ARCADO® Steinquader mit unterschiedlichen Steinformaten vertrieben. Diese Steinquader weisen typischerweise eine Höhe von ca. 45 - 55 cm auf bei einer Seitenkantenlänge von 45 cm und eignen sich daher als Sitzgelegenheit insbesondere für den Außenbereich. Weitere derartige Sitzgelegenheiten sind aus DE 20 2005 007 352 U1 und DE 299 03 776 U1 bekannt.The invention relates to a seat according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a seat is marketed by the applicant, for example, under the product name ARCADO ® stone cuboid with different stone formats. These stone blocks typically have a height of about 45-55 cm with a side edge length of 45 cm and are therefore suitable as a seat, especially for outdoor use. Other such seating is off DE 20 2005 007 352 U1 and DE 299 03 776 U1 known.

Ein derartiger Sitzquader ist ein effektvolles dekoratives Element, das als originelle Sitzgruppe oder auch als Abgrenzung im Außenbereich zum Einsatz kommt. Die dekorative Wirkung des Quaders wird dabei vornehmlich durch die Steinfarbe und die Textur bestimmt.Such a seat cuboid is an effective decorative element, which is used as an original seating group or as a demarcation in the outdoor area. The decorative effect of the cuboid is determined primarily by the stone color and the texture.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Sitzgelegenheit anzugeben, die eine verbesserte dekorative Wirkung aufweist.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a seating, which has an improved decorative effect.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Sitzgelegenheit mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a seat with the features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, eine Sitzgelegenheit anzugeben mit mehreren in verschiedenen Ebenen angeordneten Begrenzungsflächen, wobei wenigstens eine Begrenzungsfläche zumindest bereichsweise eine Lichtplatte aufweist, der ein Leuchtmittel zugeordnet ist.The invention is based on the idea of specifying a seat with a plurality of boundary surfaces arranged in different planes, wherein at least one boundary surface has, at least in some areas, a light plate to which a light source is assigned.

Die Lichtplatte weist eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckplatte auf, die mit einem Lichtverteilerblock verbunden ist, wobei das Leuchtmittel und der Lichtverteilerblock optisch gekoppelt sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass durch die lichtdurchlässige Abdeckplatte eine mechanisch stabile und belastbare Begrenzungsfläche, insbesondere Sitzfläche gebildet werden kann. Der Lichtverteilerblock sorgt für eine gleichmäßige Beleuchtung der Abdeckplatte durch das Leuchtmittel.<The light plate has a translucent cover plate which is connected to a light distribution block, wherein the illuminant and the light distribution block are optically coupled. This has the advantage that a mechanically stable and resilient boundary surface, in particular seat surface can be formed by the translucent cover plate. The light distribution block ensures uniform illumination of the cover plate by the light source. <

Erfindungsgemäß wird also eine Sitzkomponente, die eine ausreichende mechanische Stabilität vorsieht, mit einer Lichtkomponente kombiniert. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass eine über die übliche Steinfarbe hinausgehende optische Wirkung erzielt wird und zwar durch die Lichtplatte, die zumindest bereichsweise eine der Begrenzungsflächen bildet.According to the invention, therefore, a seat component that provides sufficient mechanical stability is combined with a light component. This has the advantage that an optical effect which exceeds the usual stone color is achieved, namely by the light plate, which forms at least in regions one of the boundary surfaces.

Die Kombination der Lichtkomponente mit der Sitzkomponente erzeugt insbesondere bei der Verwendung von Steinquadern überraschende und reizvoll kontrastierende Lichteffekte, die verkaufsfördernd eingesetzt werden können. Die vorzugsweise quaderförmige Ausbildung der Sitzgelegenheit hat den Vorteil, dass sich großflächige Begrenzungsflächen ergeben, die zur Erzeugung der Lichteffekte genutzt werden können.The combination of the light component with the seat component, in particular when using stone blocks, produces surprising and attractively contrasting light effects which can be used to promote sales. The preferably cuboidal design of the seat opportunity has the advantage that large-area boundary surfaces result, which can be used to generate the lighting effects.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst die mit der Lichtplatte versehene Begrenzungsfläche eine Sitzfläche. Die leuchtende Sitzfläche lädt dazu ein, auf der Sitzgelegenheit nach diesem Ausführungsbeispiel Platz zu nehmen.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the boundary surface provided with the light plate comprises a seat surface. The luminous seat invites to take a seat on the seat according to this embodiment.

Vorzugsweise umfasst das Leuchtmittel mehrere Leuchtdioden. Auf diese Weise ist die Erzeugung verschiedener Lichtfarben, auch zeitlich sich ändernder Lichtfarben möglich.Preferably, the luminous means comprises a plurality of light-emitting diodes. In this way, the generation of different light colors, even temporally changing light colors is possible.

Das Leuchtmittel kann von der Abdeckplatte beabstandet im Bereich einer von der Abdeckplatte distalen Seite des Lichtverteilerblocks angeordnet sein. Damit wird eine besonders gleichmäßige Lichtverteilung und somit eine gleichmäßige Beleuchtung der Abdeckplatte erreicht.The light-emitting means can be arranged spaced from the cover plate in the region of a side of the light distribution block which is distal from the cover plate. For a particularly uniform light distribution and thus a uniform illumination of the cover plate is achieved.

Der Lichtverteilerblock kann im Bereich der Leuchtmittel eine Ausnehmung zur gleichmäßigen Lichtverteilung aufweisen. Dadurch wird eine gleichmäßige Lichtverteilung insbesondere von der Mitte des Lichtverteilerblocks aus erreicht.The light distribution block may have a recess for uniform light distribution in the region of the lighting means. As a result, a uniform light distribution is achieved, in particular from the middle of the light distributor block.

Vorzugsweise weist der Lichtverteilerblock schräg angeordnete, insbesondere nach innen zulaufende Seitenflächen auf, so dass ein Einsetzen des Lichtverteilerblocks in die Sitzgelegenheit bzw. in die entsprechende Begrenzungsfläche der Sitzgelegenheit erleichtert wird.Preferably, the light distribution block has obliquely arranged, in particular inwardly tapering side surfaces, so that insertion of the light distribution block in the Seating or in the corresponding boundary surface of the seating is facilitated.

Dabei können die Seitenflächen eine lichtreflektierende Oberfläche aufweisen, wodurch die Beleuchtung der Abdeckplatte verstärkt wird.In this case, the side surfaces may have a light-reflecting surface, whereby the illumination of the cover plate is reinforced.

An einer zur Abdeckplatte parallelen Seite des Lichtverteilerblocks kann eine Abschlussplatte angeordnet sein, die den Lichtverteilerblock vor Beschädigungen schützt. Die Abschlussplatte kann reflektierend ausgebildet sein.On a side parallel to the cover plate side of the light distribution block can be arranged a cover plate, which protects the light distribution block from damage. The end plate may be reflective.

Die Sitzgelegenheit kann eine Ausnehmung aufweisen, die zur Aufnahme des Lichtverteilerblocks angepasst ist. Damit kann der Lichtverteilerblock in der Sitzgelegenheit versenkt werden, so dass nur die Abdeckplatte sichtbar ist, was zu einer optisch ansprechenden Form führt.The seat may have a recess which is adapted to receive the light distribution block. Thus, the light distribution block can be sunk in the seating, so that only the cover plate is visible, resulting in a visually appealing form.

Die Sitzgelegenheit kann eine Durchführung für eine Stromversorgung der Lichtplatte aufweisen, die somit von außen nicht sichtbar ist.The seat may have a passage for a power supply of the light plate, which is thus not visible from the outside.

Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist wenigstens eine Begrenzungsfläche beheizbar, insbesondere die Sitzfläche. Damit wird der Sitzkomfort erhöht. Die Heizung kann in die Lichtplatte integriert sein, so dass die Lichtplatte sowohl optische als auch thermische Funktion übernimmt.In a further preferred embodiment, at least one boundary surface can be heated, in particular the seat surface. This increases the seating comfort. The heater can be integrated in the light plate, so that the light plate takes on both optical and thermal function.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend mit weiteren Einzelheiten anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles unter Bezug auf die beigefügten schematischen Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.

In den Figuren 1 - 4 sind die einzelnen Komponenten einer Sitzgelegenheit nach einem erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt und zwar eine Lichtkomponente 23 und eine Betonkomponente 24 bzw. allgemein eine für die mechanische Stabilität der Sitzgelegenheit verantwortliche Sitzkomponente. Im montierten Zustand bilden die Lichtkomponente 23 und die Betonkomponente 24 eine quaderförmige Sitzgelegenheit, die insbesondere im Außenbereich zum Einsatz kommt.In the Figures 1 - 4 the individual components of a seat according to an embodiment of the invention are shown, namely a light component 23 and a concrete component 24 or generally responsible for the mechanical stability of the seat component seat component. In the mounted state, the light component 23 and the concrete component 24 form a cuboid seat, which is used in particular in the outdoor area.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf eine quaderförmige Sitzgelegenheit eingeschränkt, sondern umfasst auch andere geometrische Formen, die als Sitzgelegenheit bzw. Sitzplatz geeignet sind. Die Verwendung des in den Figuren 1 bis 4 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles als Sitzgelegenheit bedeutet eine entsprechende Dimensionierung der quaderförmigen Betonkomponente 24, die beispielsweise Seitenkantenabmessungen von 45 x 45 x 45 - 55 cm aufweisen kann. Andere Abmessungen, insbesondere andere Höhenmaße sind möglich, ohne die Sitzfunktion aufzugeben.The invention is not limited to a cuboid seat, but also includes other geometric shapes that are suitable as a seat or seat. The use of the in the FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrated embodiment as a seat opportunity means a corresponding dimensioning of the cuboid concrete component 24, which may for example have side edge dimensions of 45 x 45 x 45 - 55 cm. Other dimensions, in particular other height dimensions are possible without giving up the seat function.

Die Erfindung kann auch auf andere Gestaltungselemente übertragen werden, beispielsweise auf rein dekorative Gestaltungskomponenten ohne Sitzfunktion. Beispielsweise sind quaderförmige Elemente oder Elemente mit anderen Geometrien möglich, bei denen wenigstens eine Begrenzungsfläche zumindest bereichsweise eine Lichtplatte aufweist, der ein Leuchtmittel zugeordnet ist bzw. die allgemein eine Lichtkomponente und eine mechanische Komponente aufweisen, wobei diese Gestaltungselemente in erster Linie nur dekorative Wirkung haben.The invention can also be applied to other design elements, for example to purely decorative design components without seat function. For example, cuboidal elements or elements with other geometries are possible in which at least one boundary surface at least partially has a light plate, which is associated with a light source or generally have a light component and a mechanical component, these design elements have primarily only decorative effect.

Konkret ist die Sitzgelegenheit gemäß den Figuren 1 bis 4 mit mehreren in verschiedenen Ebenen angeordneten Begrenzungsflächen 10, 11 versehen, wobei die auf der Oberseite der Sitzgelegenheit angeordnete Begrenzungsfläche eine Sitzfläche 10 bildet. Die Sitzfläche 10 ist dabei als Lichtkomponente 23 ausgebildet, die mit der Betonkomponente 24 im montierten Zustand verbunden ist.Specifically, the seat is according to the FIGS. 1 to 4 provided with a plurality of arranged in different planes boundary surfaces 10, 11, wherein the arranged on the top of the seating boundary surface forms a seat 10.

Die Lichtkomponente 23 ist in Fig. 1 und die Betonkomponente 24 in den Figuren 2 bis 3 dargestellt.The light component 23 is in Fig. 1 and the concrete component 24 in the FIGS. 2 to 3 shown.

Die Lichtkomponente 23 bildet im montierten Zustand zumindest bereichsweise eine der Begrenzungsflächen 10, 11, insbesondere die Sitzfläche 10 und weist eine Lichtplatte 12 auf, der ein Leuchtmittel 13 zugeordnet ist. Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, umfasst die Lichtplatte 12 eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckplatte 14, die mit einem Lichtverteilerblock 15 verbunden ist. Der Lichtverteilerblock 15 ist mit dem Leuchtmittel 13 optisch gekoppelt. Auf diese Weise ist die Abdeckplatte von innen beleuchtbar, so dass ein Lichteffekt im Bereich der Sitzfläche erzielbar ist (leuchtende Sitzfläche).The light component 23 forms in the mounted state at least partially one of the boundary surfaces 10, 11, in particular the seat surface 10 and has a light plate 12, which is associated with a lighting means 13. As in Fig. 1 illustrated, the light plate 12 comprises a light-transmitting cover plate 14 which is connected to a light distribution block 15. The light distribution block 15 is optically coupled to the lighting means 13. In this way, the cover plate is illuminated from the inside, so that a lighting effect in the area of the seat can be achieved (luminous seat).

Die Abdeckplatte 14 ist aus einem opaken Material, beispielsweise aus weißlich mattiertem Acrylglas gebildet und weist einen Lichtverteilereffekt auf. Die Abdeckplatte 14 ist ausreichend stabil, um Kräfte aufzunehmen, die in die Sitzgelegenheit durch einen Benutzer eingeleitet werden. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel entsprechen die Abmessungen der Abdeckplatte 14 den Abmessungen der Begrenzungsfläche 10 bzw. der Sitzfläche 10, so dass die Sitzfläche 10 vollständig durch die Abdeckplatte gebildet ist. Es ist auch möglich, die Sitzfläche 10 nur teilweise bzw. bereichsweise durch die Abdeckplatte 14 zu bilden und diese mit einem anderen Material zu kombinieren. Ferner können mehrere separate Abdeckplatten 14 vorgesehen sein, die zusammen mit anderen mechanischen Komponenten die Sitzfläche 10 oder auch eine andere Begrenzungsfläche 11 bilden.The cover plate 14 is formed of an opaque material, for example of whitish frosted acrylic glass and has a light distribution effect. The cover plate 14 is sufficiently stable to absorb forces introduced into the seat by a user. In the present embodiment, the dimensions of the cover plate 14 correspond to the dimensions of the boundary surface 10 and the seat 10, so that the seat 10 is completely formed by the cover plate. It is also possible to form the seat 10 only partially or partially through the cover plate 14 and to combine this with another material. Furthermore, a plurality of separate cover plates 14 may be provided, which together with other mechanical components, the seat 10 or another boundary surface 11 form.

Wie Fig. 1 zu entnehmen, ist die Abdeckplatte 14 mit dem Lichtverteilerblock 15 verbunden. Der Lichtverteilerblock 15 kann beispielsweise aus farblosem Acrylglas gegossen sein. Die Verbindung des Lichtverteilerblocks 15 mit der Abdeckplatte 14 erfolgt über ein Hochleistungsklebeband. Andere Verbindungsarten sind möglich. Das Höhenverhältnis zwischen der Abdeckplatte 14 und dem Lichtverteilerblock 15 kann in einem Bereich von 1:1 bis 1:5, vorzugsweise in einem Bereich von 1:2 bis 1:4 betragen. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 liegt das Höhenverhältnis bei 1:3,3.As Fig. 1 can be seen, the cover plate 14 is connected to the light distribution block 15.

Dazu ist an der Unterseite bzw. im Bereich der Unterkante des Lichtverteilerblocks 15 eine umlaufende Aussparung vorgesehen, in der die Leuchtdioden 16 angeordnet sind.For illuminating the cover plate 14, the light distribution block 15 is optically coupled to the lighting means 13. Specifically, the light source 13 is spaced from the cover plate 14 in the region of a side 17 of the light distribution block 15 which is distal from the cover plate 14. In particular, the lighting means 13 is provided in the region of the lower edge of the light distribution block 15. In this case, the lighting means 13 comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes 16, which are arranged on the circumference of the light distribution block 15. For this purpose, a circumferential recess is provided on the underside or in the region of the lower edge of the light distributor block 15, in which the light emitting diodes 16 are arranged.

Die Leuchtdioden 16 sind dabei wasserdicht gekapselt, beispielsweise durch eine Silikonabdichtung. Die Leuchtdioden 16 bzw. LED-Leuchten sind mit einer üblichen Niedervolt-Stromversorgung verbunden.The LEDs 16 are encapsulated watertight, for example by a silicone seal. The LEDs 16 and LED lights are connected to a conventional low-voltage power supply.

Aufgrund der vorstehend beschriebenen Anordnung der Leuchtdioden 16 erfolgt der Lichteintritt in den Lichtverteilerblock 15 im Bereich der Unterseite des Lichtverteilerblocks 15 und zwar im Seitenbereich des Lichtverteilerblocks 15. Um eine gleichmäßige Lichtverteilung von der Mitte des Verteilerblocks 15 aus zu ermöglichen, ist an der Unterseite des Lichtverteilerblocks 15 eine Ausnehmung vorgesehen, die generell eine konkave Form hat. Die Ausnehmung 18 kann durch Fräsen gebildet werden und befindet sich im Wesentlichen mittig an der Unterseite des Lichtverteilerblocks 15.Due to the arrangement of the light-emitting diodes 16 described above, the light enters the light distribution block 15 in the region of the underside of the light distribution block 15 in the side region of the light distribution block 15. In order to allow a uniform light distribution from the center of the distribution block 15, is at the bottom of the Lichtverteilerblocks 15 a recess provided which has a generally concave shape. The recess 18 may be formed by milling and is located substantially centrally on the underside of the light distribution block 15th

Der Lichtverteilerblock 15 weist schräg angeordnete Seitenflächen 19 auf, die nach innen zulaufen bzw. sich mit zunehmendem Abstand von der Abdeckplatte 14 verjüngen. Zwischen der Oberkante des Lichtverteilerblocks 15 und der Außenkante der Abdeckplatte 14 ist ein Abstand vorgesehen, so dass zwischen dem Lichtverteilerblock 15 und der Abdeckplatte 14 ein Rand 25 gebildet ist, der im montierten Zustand als Auflagefläche für die Betonkomponente 24 fungiert. Für eine verbesserte Beleuchtung der Abdeckplatte 14 sind die Seitenflächen 19 mit einer lichtreflektierenden Oberfläche versehen. Die umlaufenden Seitenflächen können beispielsweise mit Acrylglasfarbe lackiert sein, die das Licht der Leuchtdioden 16 zurückreflektiert. Andere Beschichtungsmöglichkeiten sind denkbar.The light distribution block 15 has obliquely arranged side surfaces 19, which run inward or taper with increasing distance from the cover plate 14. Between the upper edge of the light distribution block 15 and the outer edge of the cover plate 14, a distance is provided, so that between the light distribution block 15 and the cover plate 14, an edge 25 is formed, which acts as a support surface for the concrete component 24 in the mounted state. For improved illumination of the cover plate 14, the side surfaces 19 are provided with a light-reflecting surface. The circumferential side surfaces can be painted, for example, with acrylic glass paint, which reflects the light of the LEDs 16 back. Other coating options are conceivable.

Um den Lichtverteilerblock 15 von unten gegen Beschädigungen zu schützen, ist an der Unterseite bzw. generell an einer zur Abdeckplatte 14 parallelen Seite des Lichtverteilerblocks 15 eine Abschlussplatte 20 angeordnet. Diese Abschlussplatte kann beispielsweise eine Aluminiumplatte bzw. allgemein ein Metallblech sein.In order to protect the light distribution block 15 from the bottom against damage, a cover plate 20 is disposed on the underside or generally on a parallel to the cover plate 14 side of the light distribution block 15. This end plate may for example be an aluminum plate or generally a metal sheet.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die vorstehend beschriebene Form des Lichtverteilerblocks 15 bzw. der Abdeckplatte 14 beschränkt. In Abhängigkeit von der Ausbildung der Betonkomponente 24 sind andere Formen des Lichtverteilerblocks 15 bzw. der Abdeckplatte 14 möglich, beispielsweise zylindrische Querschnittsformen oder allgemein rechteckförmige Profile.The invention is not limited to the above-described shape of the light distribution block 15 or the cover plate 14. Depending on the design of the concrete component 24, other forms of the light distribution block 15 and the cover plate 14 are possible, for example, cylindrical cross-sectional shapes or generally rectangular profiles.

Die Betonkomponente 24 weist eine Ausnehmung 21 auf, die im montierten Zustand in den Lichtverteilerblock 15 eingesetzt ist. Die Ausnehmung ist dabei komplementär zur Außenkontur des Lichtverteilerblocks 15, d.h. mit schräg angeordneten Innenflächen 26 ausgebildet. Im Bereich der Ausnehmung 21 ist eine Durchführung 22 vorgesehen, die für die nicht dargestellten Stromkabel der Stromversorgung der Lichtplatte 12 genutzt werden kann. An der Oberseite der Betonkomponente 24 ist umlaufend eine Auflagefläche 27 vorgesehen, die im montierten Zustand mit dem Rand 25 der Lichtkomponente 23 zusammenwirkt. Dabei schließt die Lichtkomponente 12 bündig mit der Betonkomponente 24 ab. Die Betonkomponente 24 bzw. der Betonsteinquader ist aus Betonstein bzw. Betonwerkstein hergestellt und kann eine Oberflächenbehandlung zur Herstellung verschiedener Oberflächenausführungen aufweisen. Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die Verwendung von Betonstein eingeschränkt, sondern umfasst auch andere Materialien für die Sitzkomponente, die eine ausreichende Stabilität aufweisen.The concrete component 24 has a recess 21, which is inserted in the assembled state in the light distribution block 15. The recess is complementary to the Outer contour of the light distribution block 15, that is formed with inclined inner surfaces 26. In the region of the recess 21, a bushing 22 is provided, which can be used for the power cable, not shown, of the power supply of the light plate 12. At the top of the concrete component 24, a bearing surface 27 is provided circumferentially, which cooperates in the assembled state with the edge 25 of the light component 23. In this case, the light component 12 is flush with the concrete component 24. The concrete component 24 or the concrete block cuboid is made of concrete block or concrete block and may have a surface treatment for producing various surface finishes. The invention is not limited to the use of concrete block, but also includes other materials for the seat component, which have sufficient stability.

Eine weitere Verbesserung der Sitzgelegenheit gemäß den Ansprüchen 1 bis 4 besteht darin, dass wenigstens eine Begrenzungsfläche 10, 11, insbesondere die Sitzfläche 10 beheizbar ist. Dabei kann die Heizung in die Lichtplatte 12 integriert sein, so dass diese sowohl dekorative Wirkung als auch eine Komfortverbesserung mit sich bringt. Der Heizungsaspekt wird sowohl im Zusammenhang mit der leuchtenden Sitzfläche als auch unabhängig davon offenbart. Das bedeutet, dass die beheizte und die beleuchtete Fläche unterschiedliche als auch die selben Flächen umfassen können.A further improvement of the seat according to claims 1 to 4 is that at least one boundary surface 10, 11, in particular the seat 10 is heated. In this case, the heater can be integrated into the light plate 12, so that this brings both decorative effect and a comfort improvement. The heating aspect is disclosed both in connection with the luminous seat and independently. This means that the heated and the illuminated surface may comprise different as well as the same surfaces.

Durch die Erfindung wird ein Betonsteinquader mit leuchtender Sitzfläche angegeben, wobei eine Betonkomponente 24 mit einer Lichtkomponente 23 kombiniert sind. Die Lichtkomponente kann mit einfarbigen LED- oder RGB-LED bestückt sein, so dass verschiedene Lichtfarben und Lichteffekte ermöglicht werden.The invention provides a concrete cuboid block with luminous seat surface, a concrete component 24 being combined with a light component 23. The light component can be equipped with single-color LED or RGB LED, so that different light colors and lighting effects are possible.

Die Erfindung verbessert wesentlich die dekorative Wirkung insbesondere von Gestaltungselementen für den Außenbereich.The invention substantially improves the decorative effect, in particular of outdoor design elements.
