Description

Spiegel sind häufig mit einem Beleuchtungselement versehen, das zumeist an der Oberseite des Spiegels aufgesetzt ist. Daneben werden Spiegel angeboten, die an ihren Längsseiten Beleuchtungselemente aufweisen. Darüber hinaus sind auch Spiegel bekannt, bei denen die Spiegelfläche Ausnehmungen aufweist, in denen sich jeweils ein Beleuchtungselement befindet.Mirrors are often provided with a lighting element, which is usually placed on top of the mirror. In addition, mirrors are offered which have lighting elements on their longitudinal sides. In addition, mirrors are also known in which the mirror surface has recesses in each of which a lighting element is located.

Derartige Spiegel leiden jedoch häufig an dem Nachteil, dass die Spiegelfläche ungleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet wird.However, such mirrors often suffer from the disadvantage that the mirror surface is illuminated unevenly.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Spiegel mit integrierter Beleuchtung anzugeben, dessen Spiegelfläche gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet wird.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a mirror with integrated lighting, the mirror surface is illuminated evenly.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist bei einem Spiegel der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass er eine Spiegelfläche umfasst, an deren Rückseite wenigstens ein Beleuchtungsmittel und ein damit gekoppeltes Lichtleitelement angeordnet ist, um von dem wenigstens einen Leuchtmittel emittiertes Licht zu einem oberhalb des Spiegels angeordneten Spiegeldach umzulenken.To achieve this object, the invention provides, in the case of a mirror of the type mentioned at the beginning, that it comprises a mirror surface, at the rear side of which at least one illumination means and a light guide element coupled thereto are arranged to transmit light emitted by the at least one light means to a mirror roof arranged above the mirror redirect.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Spiegel wird das Spiegeldach gleichmäßig beleuchtet, sodass die ganze Spiegelfläche benutzbar ist. Da die Anzahl der Leuchtmittel bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Spiegel variabel ist, können Spiegel mit praktisch beliebiger Länge hergestellt werden, die über das Spiegeldach gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet werden.In the mirror according to the invention, the mirror roof is illuminated uniformly, so that the entire mirror surface can be used. Since the number of bulbs is variable in the mirror according to the invention, mirrors of virtually any length can be produced, which are uniformly illuminated over the mirror roof.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Leuchtmittel als Leuchtdiode ausgebildet ist, wobei vorzugsweise mehrere voneinander beabstandete Leuchtdioden vorgesehen sind. Mit Leuchtdioden kann die Beleuchtung mit geringem Energieeinsatz und somit besonders effizient erfolgen. Mehrere Leuchtdioden können horizontal mit Abstand zueinander angeordnet sein, um eine größere Spiegelfläche auszuleuchten. Zudem zeichnen sich die Leuchtdioden auch durch eine hohe Lebensdauer aus. Der erfindungsgemäße Spiegel ist daher robust aufgebaut und verursacht lediglich geringe Betriebskosten.According to one embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the lighting means is designed as a light-emitting diode, wherein preferably a plurality of spaced light emitting diodes are provided. With light emitting diodes, the lighting can be carried out with low energy consumption and thus particularly efficient. Multiple light emitting diodes may be spaced horizontally apart to illuminate a larger mirror surface. In addition, the LEDs are also characterized by a long service life. The inventive Mirror is therefore robust and causes only low operating costs.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Lichtleitelement aus Glas oder einem lichtdurchlässigen Kunststoffmaterial besteht, besonders bevorzugt wird dabei Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA). Dieses Material dient als Lichtleitelement bzw. Lichtleiter, durch das emittiertes Licht von den Leuchtmitteln, insbesondere den Lichtdioden, zum anderen Ende des Lichtleitelements und weiter zum Spiegeldach übertragen wird. Vorzugsweise besteht das Spiegeldach ebenfalls aus PMMA.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the light guide element consists of glass or a translucent plastic material, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) being particularly preferred. This material serves as a light guide or light guide, is transmitted by the emitted light from the light sources, in particular the light diodes, to the other end of the light guide and on to the mirror roof. Preferably, the mirrored roof is also made of PMMA.

Optional kann der erfindungsgemäße Spiegel einen Reflektor aufweisen, der zwischen dem Lichtleitelement und dem Spiegeldach angeordnet ist. Bei dieser Variante wird Licht unmittelbar von dem Lichtleitelement zu dem Spiegeldach umgelenkt.Optionally, the mirror according to the invention may comprise a reflector which is arranged between the light guide element and the mirror roof. In this variant, light is deflected directly from the light guide to the mirror roof.

Im Hinblick auf den Reflektor wird es bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Spiegel bevorzugt, dass dieser eine ebene Reflektorfläche aufweist, die mit dem Lichtleitelement und/oder dem Spiegeldach einen Winkel von näherungsweise 45° bildet. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung können das wenigstens eine Lichtmittel und das Lichtleitelement hinter der Spiegelfläche angeordnet sein, das von dem Leuchtmittel emittierte Licht wird durch das Lichtleitelement zum Reflektor übertragen und von dort zum Spiegeldach umgelenkt. Auf diese Weise wird das Spiegeldach besonders gleichmäßig beleuchtet. Diese Ausgestaltung weist den Vorteil auf, dass die für die Lichterzeugung und Lichtverteilung erforderlichen Bauteile versteckt an der Rückseite des Spiegels angeordnet sein können.With regard to the reflector, it is preferred in the mirror according to the invention that it has a flat reflector surface which forms an angle of approximately 45 ° with the light guide element and / or the mirror roof. In this embodiment, the at least one light means and the light guide can be arranged behind the mirror surface, the light emitted by the light source is transmitted through the light guide to the reflector and deflected from there to the mirror roof. In this way, the mirror roof is illuminated evenly. This embodiment has the advantage that the components required for the generation of light and light distribution can be hidden at the rear of the mirror.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Spiegeldach an der Vorderseite der Spiegelfläche vorsteht. Dadurch wird eine beleuchtete Fläche geschaffen, die einerseits die Spiegelfläche und andererseits den Bereich vor dem Spiegel beleuchtet.A development of the invention provides that the mirror roof protrudes at the front of the mirror surface. As a result, an illuminated surface is created, which illuminates on the one hand, the mirror surface and on the other hand, the area in front of the mirror.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Spiegels kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Spiegeldach aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Material besteht, vorzugsweise aus PMMA. Auf diese Weise wird auch das Spiegeldach beleuchtet.According to a development of the mirror according to the invention, it can be provided that the mirrored roof consists of a light-transmitting material, preferably of PMMA. In this way, the mirror roof is illuminated.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Spiegel ist es auch denkbar, dass er einen Sensorschalter zum Ein- oder Ausschalten der Beleuchtung aufweist, der vorzugsweise an einer Seitenfläche angeordnet ist.In the mirror according to the invention it is also conceivable that it has a sensor switch for switching on or off the illumination, which is preferably arranged on a side surface.

a sectional side view of an embodiment of a mirror according to the invention;
Fig. 2
a front view of the in FIG. 1 shown mirror; and
Fig. 3
a further embodiment of a mirror according to the invention in a sectional side view.

Der in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigte Spiegel 1 umfasst eine Spiegelfläche 2, an deren Rückseite eine Mehrzahl von Leuchtmitteln angeordnet ist. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Leuchtmittel als Leuchtdioden (LED) 3 ausgebildet, die voneinander beabstandet im unteren Bereich an der Rückseite der Spiegelfläche 2 angeordnet sind. Es sind auch andere Varianten des Spiegels 1 möglich, bei denen lediglich eine oder zwei LEDs verwendet werden. Über nicht dargestellte Leitungen werden die Leuchtdioden 3 mit Strom versorgt, im eingeschalteten Zustand wird durch die Leuchtdioden 3 ein lichtdurchlässiges Lichtleitelement 4 beleuchtet. Das Lichtleitelement 4 dient als Lichtleiter und überträgt das emittierte Licht zu einem Reflektor 5, der oberhalb des Lichtleitelements 4 unter einem Winkel von 45° zur Vorderseite angeordnet ist. Der Reflektor 5 weist eine ebene Reflektorfläche auf, sodass Licht von dem Lichtleitelement 4 rechtwinklig zu einem oberhalb des Spiegels 1 angeordneten Spiegeldach 6 umgelenkt wird. In Figur 1 erkennt man, dass das Spiegeldach 6 rechtwinklig zur Spiegelfläche 2 angeordnet ist und zur Vorderseite absteht. Durch das Lichtleitelement 4 wird das eingekoppelte Licht gleichmäßig verteilt, sodass das Spiegeldach 6 homogen beleuchtet wird.The in Fig. 1 and 2 Mirror 1 shown comprises a mirror surface 2, at the back of a plurality of lighting means is arranged. In the illustrated embodiment, the lighting means as light emitting diodes (LED) 3 are formed, which are spaced from each other in the lower region at the back of the mirror surface 2 are arranged. Other variants of the mirror 1 are possible in which only one or two LEDs are used. About lines not shown, the light emitting diodes 3 are supplied with power in the on state, a translucent light guide 4 is illuminated by the LEDs 3. The light guide 4 serves as a light guide and transmits the emitted light to a reflector 5, which is arranged above the light guide 4 at an angle of 45 ° to the front. The reflector 5 has a flat reflector surface, so that light is deflected by the light guide 4 at right angles to a arranged above the mirror 1 mirror roof 6. In FIG. 1 it can be seen that the mirror roof 6 is arranged at right angles to the mirror surface 2 and protrudes to the front. By the light guide 4, the coupled light is evenly distributed, so that the mirror roof 6 is illuminated homogeneously.

Bei anderen Ausführungen kann anstelle des Reflektors 5 ein separater Spiegel verwendet werden.In other embodiments, instead of the reflector 5, a separate mirror can be used.

Die Leuchtdioden 3 sind in einem Träger 7 aufgenommen. Dementsprechend ist der Spiegel 1 modelar aufgebaut, die integrierte Beleuchtung kann für breitere Spiegel wahlweise durch weitere Leuchtdioden und einen entsprechend verlängerten Träger verlängert werden.The light-emitting diodes 3 are accommodated in a carrier 7. Accordingly, the mirror 1 is modeled, the integrated lighting can be extended for wider mirrors optionally by further light emitting diodes and a correspondingly extended carrier.

An einer Seitenfläche des Spiegels 1 befindet sich ein als Sensorschalter ausgebildeter Schalter 8, um die Leuchtmittel ein- und auszuschalten.On a side surface of the mirror 1 there is a switch 8 designed as a sensor switch in order to switch the lighting means on and off.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines Spiegels 9, der in einer geschnittenen Seitenansicht dargestellt ist. Im Wesentlichen entspricht der Spiegel 9 dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Spiegel 1, auf eine detaillierte Erläuterung übereinstimmender Komponenten wird daher an dieser Stelle verzichtet. Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a mirror 9, which is shown in a sectional side view. Essentially, the mirror 9 corresponds to the in Fig. 1 shown mirror 1, a detailed explanation of matching components is therefore omitted here.

Der Spiegel 9 umfasst die Spiegelfläche 2, an deren Rückseite ist der Träger 9 angeordnet, in dem mehrere Leuchtdioden 3 voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind. Das von den Leuchtdioden 3 erzeugte Licht wird in ein Lichtleitelement 10 eingekoppelt, das kürzer als das Lichtleitelement 4 des Spiegels 1 ist. Das Lichtleitelement 10 ist quaderförmig ausgebildet, auf der Oberseite des Lichtleitelements 10 ist ein Spiegeldach 11 angeordnet, so dass das Lichtleitelement 10 und das Spiegeldach 11 zumindest näherungsweise einen rechten Winkel bilden. Das Spiegeldach 11 ist aus demselben Material wie das Lichtleitelement 10 hergestellt, beide Komponenten bestehen aus Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA), wodurch die Weiterleitung des von den Leuchtdioden 3 erzeugten Lichts über das Lichtleitelement 10 in das Spiegeldach 11 gewährleistet ist. Anders als in dem vorangehenden Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Spiegel 9 keinen Reflektor auf, stattdessen wird das Licht von dem Lichtleitelement 10 unmittelbar in das Spiegeldach 11 geleitet. Das Spiegeldach 11 wird durch die mehreren, verteilt angeordneten Leuchtdioden 3 gleichmäßig beleuchtet. Weitere Komponenten wie ein Gehäuse oder eine Abdeckung an der Rückseite des Spiegels 9 sind aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit in Fig. 3 nicht dargestellt.The mirror 9 comprises the mirror surface 2, on the rear side of the carrier 9 is arranged, in which a plurality of light-emitting diodes 3 are arranged spaced from each other. The light generated by the LEDs 3 is coupled into a light guide 10 which is shorter than the light guide 4 of the mirror 1. The light-guiding element 10 is cuboid, on the upper side of the light-guiding element 10 a mirror roof 11 is arranged so that the light-guiding element 10 and the mirror roof 11 form at least approximately a right angle. The mirror roof 11 is made of the same material as the light guide 10, both components are made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), whereby the transmission of the light generated by the LEDs 3 is ensured via the light guide 10 in the mirror roof 11. Unlike the previous embodiment, the mirror 9 has no reflector, instead the light is guided by the light guide 10 directly into the mirror roof 11. The mirror roof 11 is uniformly illuminated by the plurality of light emitting diodes 3 arranged distributed. Other components such as a housing or a cover on the back of the mirror 9 are in for clarity Fig. 3 not shown.
