Definitions
- the invention relates to a pool of water, e.g. a swimming pool, consisting of a water-fillable tub and arranged on the edge of the tub, juxtaposed curbs and lighting, which extends in the region of the edge.
- a pool of water e.g. a swimming pool, consisting of a water-fillable tub and arranged on the edge of the tub, juxtaposed curbs and lighting, which extends in the region of the edge.
- lighting is also a design means, e.g. in order to visually highlight the water basin in the darkness and to accentuate its silhouette by illuminating the edge area.
- the state of the art describes the utility model DE 20 2010 003 733 a "wall edging strip" that must be walled into the side wall of a swimming pool.
- the strip contains a groove into which a strip-shaped light source, such as an LED strip can be inserted.
- the disadvantage is that the masonry of the tub of the pool must be adapted by matching stones or a structure of numerous, very small stones or by chiselling or by milling a corresponding slot to the profile of the Wandab gleichrau.
- the invention has taken on the task to develop for the illumination of the edge region of a swimming pool or other pool elements that can be integrated with little effort in adjustment work in the edge of a swimming pool and can be sealed quickly and easily.
- the electrical connection should be created essentially in the same operation.
- the invention is a water basin according to claim 1.
- Document DE19642897 discloses a pool of water with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention is based on the fact that a pool of water differs from a pool or a bathtub usually by curbs, which are arranged at the edge of the tub, which receives the water. These curbs are used for mechanical attachment of the shore of the pool. They prevent inadmissibly large amounts of water from entering the surrounding soil. At the same time they are a mechanical stabilization of this zone, which must often even be dimensioned so that people can be on this edge area and even jump from there into the water.
- any lighting fixtures mounted in this area may either be subject to considerable mechanical stress or even to be resistant to the water and any germicide or cleaning agent contained therein, it is the basic idea of the invention to deprive the lighting fixtures of these influences in that they are arranged inside the curbs. There they are protected with reasonable effort both from the burdens of people staying or jumping there as well as from the influence of the water and its components.
- the light source In order for the light rays to emerge from the interior of the curbs, they must at least partially consist of transparent or translucent material.
- the light source must be arranged so that its light rays can escape through these areas. If e.g. a curb is equipped in a very simple design only with a single light source, which should shine upwards, so should be arranged in the current linguistic usage as an "underfloor light", it is sufficient if the curb a hollow body made of concrete or Ceramics is, in which a light source is used and covered at the top with a disc, this disc is sufficiently mechanically strong and sealed against water.
- the entire curb may consist of transparent or translucent material in the interior of which at least one light source is arranged.
- the only light source or at least one light source within the curb both upwards, as well as to the side, so approximately parallel to the water surface, shine.
- each curb has at least one light source.
- only every second or every third curb or another, regular sequence of curbs each have at least one light source.
- Another design parameter of the invention is the direction of the light rays. You can illuminate the water surface from the narrow side of the curbs. But you can also emerge about the top. Then they act like a "underfloor light", for example; At a very narrow light exit angle, persons or posts located at the edge will light up decoratively from below.
- the curbs collar beyond the edge of the tub, so are located in part above the water surface.
- light rays can also escape from the part of the outer surface of the curb facing the water surface and cast their light on the water surface.
- a variant embodiment is conceivable in which light beams emerge exclusively in this direction toward the water surface.
- the light rays may also radiate to the water surface in addition to other light sources.
- At least one curb may protrude beyond the edge of the trough, that is to say in part above the water surface. Then it is possible that in this part of the outer surface of the curb facing the water surface, a groove is inserted into which a light source is inserted, such as e.g. a LED strip. Of course, this LED strip must then be protected against splashing water or high sloshing water, e.g. in which it is embedded in a waterproof medium or by the groove is sealed watertight to the outside. In this variant, a very long light source, such as e.g. a light tube that extends over several curbs, be used.
- a curb contains a light source.
- This light source can be introduced into the curb stone according to two different principles.
- the curb is a hollow body and all light sources are introduced into this cavity.
- the curb is made of solid material that completely surrounds the light sources. If the curb is e.g. is poured from a liquid plastic, it is conceivable that the light sources are poured into this plastic block. Of course, they must be able to endure the melting temperature of this material with certainty.
- the curb may for example consist of two halves, in each of which cavities are formed which are designed to be complementary to the light sources. To install the light source is inserted into one of the two complementary “beds” and then glued on the other half of the curb or otherwise firmly connected.
- the electrical connection of the curbs is miter Lucas already during their laying.
- an electrical plug have, which protrudes from this surface.
- an electrical junction box must be formed, which is designed to be complementary to the aforementioned electrical connector and also produces an electrical contact by plugging the can with such a plug.
- each of the electrical connector and the electrical junction box and all the light sources in the curb are connected in parallel.
- every electrical connection must be protected by a suitable seal against the ingress of moisture. This is possible for example by a flexible seal, which is compressed by the pushing together of two curbs. It is even a locking connection conceivable, with a noticeable snapping lets the installer know that now a proper sealing effect has been achieved.
- the light source (s) emit their light rays at a very narrow angle, e.g. in extreme cases, the light fingers of a laser, which is arranged inside a curb.
- the surface of the curbs is illuminated as evenly as possible.
- Electroluminescent films are inserted in the transparent or translucent curbs. By applying an alternating voltage with a frequency between approximately 100 to 2000 hertz, these foils light up, whereby the light emission is distributed with almost perfect uniformity over the surface. It should be noted that the achievable light levels are relatively low, the price of the film is relatively high and for power supply with electrical energy always a separate power supply is required, which provides the required frequency with sufficient power.
- incandescent lamps e.g. with a filling of halogens to extend the life - suitable, as well as Leuchtdi or, also in the execution as OLED, which stands as an abbreviation for organic light emitting diode because of the layers of organic material.
- All these light sources emit their light mostly in a more or less limited angle.
- Such light guides are known in principle in numerous variations. They can be inserted as an additional assembly between the light source and the inner wall of a hollow curb. From there they rise up to the light source.
- a reflector such as e.g. a metal foil that deflects some of the light rays by reflection.
- a reflector such as e.g. a metal foil that deflects some of the light rays by reflection.
- Beams are used that would otherwise illuminate only the non-visible surfaces of a curb.
- optical fibers in a smaller version than prisms or lenses can be molded onto the outer skin of a curb in order to ensure a uniform distribution of the light rays there.
- the outer surface of at least one curb is coated with a lacquer containing metal elements with a shiny and reflective surface.
- These metal elements serve in a dual function once to increase the slip resistance and on the other hand, the generation of reflections, which are available in the aesthetic design as another parameter.
- Another embodiment is the coating with phosphorescent material. It contains elemental, white phosphorus, which can glow after exposure to ultraviolet light, also called black light, for up to several hours.
- the selection of the fluorescent material allows a variety of different colors, which can be activated by irradiation with a common and the same ultraviolet light rays for all surfaces.
- a curb can also be a hollow body made of glass, which has at least one opening through which the light sources can be inserted into the cavity.
- Glass has the advantage that its raw materials are available in very large quantities and can be processed at low cost. Archeology proves that the life of glass parts can extend over centuries. As glass blocks they are known and proven in buildings.
- Dahinein complementary shaped cover can be screwed in and poured a sealant in the gap between the inner and outer threads or it presses an overhanging lid a round cord seal on the edge of the hollow body.
- connection through the electrical connection can be made. If the connection consists of two wires, it is advisable to wind them in opposite directions before screwing them into the thread, so that they are unraveled again after screwing in the cover and are therefore relatively far apart again.
- the brightness and / or the color of the light sources are changeable individually or in groups from a central control. Or the entire lighting of the pool edge can be changed together in their brightness or their color or their coloring.
- a "running light” can move around the edge of the pool, which consists of a series of abruptly switched on and off light sources.
- the "wandering" light pulses can also be generated by the stepped or even step-less dimming of the individual light sources, as long as the dimmer responds accordingly quickly.
- Multicolor light-emitting diodes which are formed by embedding light-emitting diodes with different colors in a single housing.
- each light source or each group of light sources either by means of its own Connection cable are connected to the controller, or it can be assigned to each light source or each group of light sources, a receiving and control module.
- This block receives commands from the controller, which are either transmitted via a separate bus system. Alternatively, they can also be transmitted by pulses that are modulated on the supply voltage. Denkbär even sends these control commands wirelessly via electromagnetic waves from a central control. The advantage is that then no extra information connection must be created as physically existing line. In any case, the instructions communicated by the control to the respective module for the control of the light sources or the groups of light sources are implemented.
- the row of curbs can only consist of mutually different specimens.
- the majority of use cases is expected to be limited to a modular system with a limited number of different types of curbs to use.
- the profile in the direction of the edge is identical or at least can be combined with the adjacent curb.
- the length in the direction of the edge is different in each case, e.g. Curbs with full or half or quarter standard length and a very short correction piece.
- the horizontal outline of the curbs can - for the formation of grades - be approximately rectangular.
- a trapezoidal outline can be used well.
- Arcs along the edge can be put together by circular ring segments.
- FIG. 1 the section through a trough (2) is drawn, which is filled with water (1) and on the edge (21) a curb (3) is placed.
- the curb (3) is made of a translucent or transparent material, which in FIG. 1 it can be seen that the rear edge between the vertical side walls is also visible through the curved surface.
- the curb (3) in one embodiment is shown as a hollow body, which is evident in the cut walls.
- the light rays (41) of the left and the middle light source (4) radiate outwards through the upper cover surface of the curb stone (3).
- the light beams (41) of the right-hand light source (4) radiate downward through the overhanging part of the curb (3) to the water surface (11) underneath.
- FIG. 1 is not shown, but easily understandable, that thereby the light rays (41) on the water surface (11) can break and reflect and thus is given a further parameter to the aesthetic design of the pool edge.
- the left two light sources (4) are secured in this embodiment by a respective adjacent bead in the base of the pool edge stone.
- a groove (5) is shown in the overhanging part of the pool edge stone (4).
- this groove (5) can from below a - in FIG. 1 not drawn - light source (4) are inserted. From there it emits - as well as the right next to the groove (5) drawn light source (4) - down to the water surface (11).
- the electrical connections of the light sources (4) are not shown.
- the possible connector between adjacent curbs (3) with the possibility of an outstanding plug on the one parting surface of a curb (3) a complementary socket to connect to the adjacent end face of the next curb (3) not shown.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Wasserbecken, wie z.B. ein Schwimmbecken, bestehend aus einer mit Wasser füllbaren Wanne und am Rand der Wanne angeordneten, aneinander gereihten Randsteinen und einer Beleuchtung, die sich im Bereich des Randes erstreckt.The invention relates to a pool of water, e.g. a swimming pool, consisting of a water-fillable tub and arranged on the edge of the tub, juxtaposed curbs and lighting, which extends in the region of the edge.
Für Wasserbecken, wie z.B. Schwimmbecken in Gärten, in Parks, in öffentlichen Badeanstalten, auf Kreuzfahrtschiffen oder an anderen Plätzen, ist in der Dämmerung und in der Dunkelheit eine Beleuchtung erforderlich wenn z.B. ein Schwimmbecken auch zu diesen Tageszeiten genutzt werden soll. Darüber hinaus ist eine Beleuchtung auch ein gestalterisches Mittel, z.B. um durch eine Beleuchtung des Randbereiches das Wasserbecken in der Dunkelheit optisch hervorzuheben und seine Silhouette zu akzentuieren.For water basins, such as e.g. Swimming pools in gardens, parks, public baths, cruise ships or other places require lighting at twilight and in the dark when e.g. a swimming pool should also be used at these times of the day. In addition, lighting is also a design means, e.g. in order to visually highlight the water basin in the darkness and to accentuate its silhouette by illuminating the edge area.
Auf aktuellem Stand der Technik beschreibt das Gebrauchsmuster
Nachteilig ist, dass das Mauerwerk der Wanne des Schwimmbeckens durch passende Formsteine oder einen Aufbau aus zahlreichen, sehr kleinen Steinen oder durch Ausstemmen oder durch Einfräsen eines entsprechenden Schlitzes an das Profil der Wandabschlussleiste angepasst werden muss.The disadvantage is that the masonry of the tub of the pool must be adapted by matching stones or a structure of numerous, very small stones or by chiselling or by milling a corresponding slot to the profile of the Wandabschlussleiste.
Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, dass die Lichtquelle entweder selbst gegen das Wasser und darin enthaltenes Ozon oder Chlor oder andere Keimtötungs- und Reinigungsmittel beständig sein muss oder dass in die Öffnung der Nut der Wandabschlussleiste eine Scheibe dauerhaft dichtend eingepasst werden muss. Diese Anpassungen erfordern zahlreiche, manuell zu leistende Arbeitsstunden, die das Risiko einer womöglich schwankenden Qualität - insbesondere der Dichtigkeit - beinhalten.Another disadvantage is that the light source must either be resistant to the water itself and ozone or chlorine contained therein or other germ killing and cleaning agents or that in the opening of the groove of the Wandabschlussleiste a disc must be fitted permanently sealing. These adjustments require many manual labor hours that involve the risk of potentially fluctuating quality, especially tightness.
Auf diesem Hintergrund hat sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe gestellt, für die Ausleuchtung des Randbereiches eines Schwimmbeckens oder eines anderen Wasserbeckens Elemente zu entwickeln, die mit geringem Aufwand an Anpassungsarbeiten in den Rand eines Schwimmbeckens integriert werden können und dabei schnell und einfach abgedichtet werden können. In einer Ausbaustufe soll auch der elektrische Anschluss im Wesentlichen im gleichen Arbeitsgang erstellt werden.Against this background, the invention has taken on the task to develop for the illumination of the edge region of a swimming pool or other pool elements that can be integrated with little effort in adjustment work in the edge of a swimming pool and can be sealed quickly and easily. In an expansion stage, the electrical connection should be created essentially in the same operation.

1. Document
the features of the preamble of
Die Erfindung basiert darauf, dass ein Wasserbecken sich von einem Tümpel oder einer Badewanne in aller Regel durch Randsteine unterscheidet, die an dem Rand der Wanne angeordnet sind, welche das Wasser aufnimmt. Diese Randsteine dienen der mechanischen Befestigung des Ufers vom Wasserbecken. Sie verhindern, dass unzulässig große Wassermengen aus dem Wasserbecken in das umgebende Erdreich gelangen. Zugleich sind sie eine mechanische Stabilisierung dieser Zone, die oft sogar dafür dimensioniert sein muss, dass sich Personen auf diesem Randbereich aufhalten und sogar von dort aus in das Wasser springen können.The invention is based on the fact that a pool of water differs from a pool or a bathtub usually by curbs, which are arranged at the edge of the tub, which receives the water. These curbs are used for mechanical attachment of the shore of the pool. They prevent inadmissibly large amounts of water from entering the surrounding soil. At the same time they are a mechanical stabilization of this zone, which must often even be dimensioned so that people can be on this edge area and even jump from there into the water.
Da jegliche Beleuchtungskörper, die in diesem Bereich montiert werden, entweder erheblichen mechanischen Belastungen ausgesetzt sein können oder auch noch gegen das Wasser und eventuell darin enthaltene Keimtötungs- oder Reinigungsmittel beständig sein müssen, ist es der Grundgedanke der Erfindung, die Beleuchtungskörper diesen Einflüssen dadurch zu entziehen, dass sie im Inneren der Randsteine angeordnet werden. Dort sind sie mit vertretbarem Aufwand sowohl vor den Belastungen der sich dort aufhaltenden oder abspringenden Personen ebenso geschützt wie vor dem Einfluss des Wassers und seiner Bestandteile.Since any lighting fixtures mounted in this area may either be subject to considerable mechanical stress or even to be resistant to the water and any germicide or cleaning agent contained therein, it is the basic idea of the invention to deprive the lighting fixtures of these influences in that they are arranged inside the curbs. There they are protected with reasonable effort both from the burdens of people staying or jumping there as well as from the influence of the water and its components.
Damit die Lichtstrahlen aus dem Inneren der Randsteine heraustreten können, müssen diese zumindest teilweise aus transparentem oder transluzentem Material bestehen. Die Lichtquelle muss so angeordnet sein, dass ihre Lichtstrahlen durch diese Bereiche hindurch austreten können. Wenn z.B. ein Randstein in einer sehr einfachen Ausführung nur jeweils mit einer einzigen Lichtquelle bestückt ist, die nach oben hin leuchten soll, die also im aktuellen Sprachgebrauch als eine "Unterflurleuchte" angeordnet sein soll, so reicht es, wenn der Randstein ein Hohlkörper aus Beton oder aus Keramik ist, in den eine Lichtquelle eingesetzt und nach oben hin mit einer Scheibe abgedeckt ist, wobei diese Scheibe ausreichend mechanisch belastbar und gegen Wasser abgedichtet ist.In order for the light rays to emerge from the interior of the curbs, they must at least partially consist of transparent or translucent material. The light source must be arranged so that its light rays can escape through these areas. If e.g. a curb is equipped in a very simple design only with a single light source, which should shine upwards, so should be arranged in the current linguistic usage as an "underfloor light", it is sufficient if the curb a hollow body made of concrete or Ceramics is, in which a light source is used and covered at the top with a disc, this disc is sufficiently mechanically strong and sealed against water.
In einer anderen Ausführungsvariante kann auch der gesamte Randstein aus durchsichtigem oder durchscheinendem Material bestehen, in dessen Innerem wenigstens eine Lichtquelle angeordnet ist. Dabei können die einzige Lichtquelle oder wenigstens eine Lichtquelle innerhalb des Randsteines sowohl nach oben, wie auch zur Seite, also etwa parallel zur Wasseroberfläche, leuchten.In another embodiment, the entire curb may consist of transparent or translucent material in the interior of which at least one light source is arranged. In this case, the only light source or at least one light source within the curb both upwards, as well as to the side, so approximately parallel to the water surface, shine.
Bei der Gestaltung des gesamten Wasserbeckens bieten die Randsteine die Möglichkeit, den Rand vollständig umlaufend zu beleuchten. Dazu weist In einer sehr prächtigen Variante jeder Randstein wenigstens eine Lichtquelle auf. Dadurch wird aus der Ferne der Umriss des Wasserbeckens deutlich hervorgehoben. Im Nahbereich des Randes wird eine sichere Nutzung des Wasserbeckens auch bei fehlendem Tageslicht ermöglicht.
In kostengünstigeren Ausführungsformen weisen nur jeder zweite oder jeder dritte Randstein oder eine andere, regelmäßige Reihenfolge von Randsteinen jeweils wenigstens eine Lichtquelle auf.
Ein weiterer gestalterischer Parameter der Erfindung ist die Richtung der Lichtstrahlen. Sie können aus der Schmalseite der Randsteine heraus die Wasseroberfläche beleuchten. Sie können aber auch etwa nach oben hin austreten. Dann wirken sie wie eine "Unterflurleuchte", die z.B; bei einem sehr engen Lichtaustrittswinkel am Rand befindliche Personen oder Pfosten dekorativ von unten her anstrahlen.In the design of the entire water basin, the curbs offer the possibility to illuminate the edge completely circulating. For this purpose, in a very splendid variant, each curb has at least one light source. This clearly highlights the outline of the pool from a distance. In the vicinity of the edge, safe use of the pool is possible even in the absence of daylight.
In more cost-effective embodiments, only every second or every third curb or another, regular sequence of curbs each have at least one light source.
Another design parameter of the invention is the direction of the light rays. You can illuminate the water surface from the narrow side of the curbs. But you can also emerge about the top. Then they act like a "underfloor light", for example; At a very narrow light exit angle, persons or posts located at the edge will light up decoratively from below.
In einer interessanten Ausführungsvariante kragen die Randsteine über den Rand der Wanne hinaus, befinden sich also zu einem Teil oberhalb der Wasseroberfläche. Bei dieser Formgebung können auch Lichtstrahlen aus dem zur Wasseroberfläche weisenden Teil der Außenfläche des Randsteines austreten und ihr Licht auf die Wasseroberfläche werfen. Es ist eine Ausführungsvariante denkbar, bei der ausschließlich in diese Richtung zur Wasseroberfläche hin Lichtstrahlen austreten. In anderen Varianten können die Lichtstrahlen auch zusätzlich zu anderen Lichtquellen auf die Wasseroberfläche strahlen.In an interesting embodiment, the curbs collar beyond the edge of the tub, so are located in part above the water surface. In this shaping, light rays can also escape from the part of the outer surface of the curb facing the water surface and cast their light on the water surface. A variant embodiment is conceivable in which light beams emerge exclusively in this direction toward the water surface. In other variants, the light rays may also radiate to the water surface in addition to other light sources.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante kann wenigstens ein Randstein über den Rand der Wanne hinaus ragen, steht also zu einem Teil oberhalb der Wasseroberfläche. Dann ist es möglich, dass in diesem zur Wasseroberfläche weisenden Teil der Außenfläche des Randsteines eine Nut eingelassen ist, in die eine Lichtquelle eingelegt wird, wie z.B. ein LED-Streifen. Dieser LED-Streifen muss dann natürlich gegen Spritzwasser oder hoch schwappendes Wasser abgesichert werden, z.B. in dem er in ein wasserdichtes Medium eingebettet ist oder indem die Nut nach außen hin wasserdicht verschlossen wird. In dieser Variante kann auch eine sehr lange Lichtquelle, wie z.B. ein Lichtschlauch, der über mehrere Randsteine hinweg reicht, verwendet werden.In a further embodiment variant, at least one curb may protrude beyond the edge of the trough, that is to say in part above the water surface. Then it is possible that in this part of the outer surface of the curb facing the water surface, a groove is inserted into which a light source is inserted, such as e.g. a LED strip. Of course, this LED strip must then be protected against splashing water or high sloshing water, e.g. in which it is embedded in a waterproof medium or by the groove is sealed watertight to the outside. In this variant, a very long light source, such as e.g. a light tube that extends over several curbs, be used.
In jedem Fall enthält jedoch ein Randstein eine Lichtquelle. Diese Lichtquelle kann nach zwei verschiedenen Prinzipien in den Randstein eingebracht werden. In einer ersten Variante ist der Randstein ein Hohlkörper und alle Lichtquellen werden in diesen Hohlraum eingebracht. In einer prinzipiell anderen Variante besteht der Randstein aus massivem Material, das die Lichtquellen vollständig umschließt. Wenn der Randstein z.B. aus einem flüssigen Kunststoff gegossen wird, so ist es denkbar, dass die Lichtquellen in diesen Kunststoffblock eingegossen werden. Dabei müssen sie natürlich die Schmelztemperatur dieses Materials mit Sicherheit ertragen können.In any case, however, a curb contains a light source. This light source can be introduced into the curb stone according to two different principles. In a first variant, the curb is a hollow body and all light sources are introduced into this cavity. In a fundamentally different variant, the curb is made of solid material that completely surrounds the light sources. If the curb is e.g. is poured from a liquid plastic, it is conceivable that the light sources are poured into this plastic block. Of course, they must be able to endure the melting temperature of this material with certainty.
Alternativ kann der Randstein z.B. auch aus zwei Hälften bestehen, in die jeweils Hohlräume eingeformt sind, die komplementär zu den lichtquellen gestaltet sind. Zum Einbau wird die Lichtquelle in eines der beiden komplementären "Betten" eingelegt und dann die andere Hälfte des Randsteines aufgeklebt oder anderweitig fest angebunden.Alternatively, the curb may for example consist of two halves, in each of which cavities are formed which are designed to be complementary to the light sources. To install the light source is inserted into one of the two complementary "beds" and then glued on the other half of the curb or otherwise firmly connected.
Eine stets zu lösende Aufgabe ist der elektrische Anschluss eines jeden Randsteines. In einer sehr einfachen Variante ragt aus jedem Randstein ein "Kabelschwanz" heraus, der mit einer zentralen Energiequelle und eventuell auch einer zentralen Steuerung elektrisch zu verbinden ist.An always to be solved task is the electrical connection of each curb stone. In a very simple variant protrudes from each curb a "cable tail" out, which is electrically connected to a central energy source and possibly also a central control.
In einer anspruchsvolleren Ausführungsform wird jedoch die elektrische Verbindung der Randsteine untereinander bereits bei deren Verlegen miterstellt. Dazu muss jeder Randstein an der jeweils ersten, zu einem benachbarten Randstein weisenden Außenfläche, einen elektrischen Stecker aufweisen, der aus dieser Oberfläche herausragt. An der zweiten, zu dem anderen benachbarten Randstein hin weisenden Außenfläche, muss eine elektrische Anschlussdose eingeformt sein, die komplementär zu dem vorgenannten elektrischen Stecker gestaltet ist und die durch Zusammenstecken der Dose mit einem derartigen Stecker auch einen elektrischen Kontakt herstellt. Innerhalb eines jeden Randsteines sind dann jeweils der elektrische Stecker und die elektrische Anschlussdose und alle Lichtquellen im Randstein parallel zueinander geschaltet.In a more sophisticated embodiment, however, the electrical connection of the curbs is miterstellt already during their laying. For this purpose, each curb on the respective first, pointing to an adjacent curb outer surface, an electrical plug have, which protrudes from this surface. At the second, facing the other adjacent curb outer surface, an electrical junction box must be formed, which is designed to be complementary to the aforementioned electrical connector and also produces an electrical contact by plugging the can with such a plug. Within each curb then each of the electrical connector and the electrical junction box and all the light sources in the curb are connected in parallel.
Dadurch kann schon beim Verlegen der Randsteine die elektrische Verdrahtung - sozusagen selbsttätig - erstellt werden, indem jeder neu aufgelegte Randstein mit der noch freien Anschlussdose oder mit dem noch freien elektrischen Stecker zusammengesteckt wird.As a result, even when laying the curbs the electrical wiring - so to speak automatically - are created by each newly applied curb is plugged together with the still free junction box or with the still free electrical connector.
Dabei muss natürlich jede elektrische Verbindung durch eine entsprechende Abdichtung gegen das Eintreten von Feuchtigkeit geschützt werden. Das ist z.B. durch eine flexible Dichtung möglich, die durch das Zusammenschieben von zwei Randsteinen zusammengedrückt Wird. Es ist sogar eine Rastverbindung denkbar, die mit einem spürbaren Einrasten den Monteur wissen lässt, dass jetzt eine ordnungsgemäße Dichtungswirkung erreicht worden ist.Of course, every electrical connection must be protected by a suitable seal against the ingress of moisture. This is possible for example by a flexible seal, which is compressed by the pushing together of two curbs. It is even a locking connection conceivable, with a noticeable snapping lets the installer know that now a proper sealing effect has been achieved.
In der Praxis wird es Anwendugnsfälle geben, bei denen der oder die Lichtquellen ihre Lichtstrahlen in einem sehr engen Winkel ausstrahlen, wie z.B. im Extremfall die Lichtfinger eines Lasers, der im Inneren eines Randsteines angeordnet ist.In practice, there will be applications in which the light source (s) emit their light rays at a very narrow angle, e.g. in extreme cases, the light fingers of a laser, which is arranged inside a curb.
In vielen anderen Anwendungsfällen kann es aber auch gewünscht werden, dass die Oberfläche der Randsteine möglichst gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet wird. Dafür können z.B. Elektrolumineszensfolien in die durchsichtigen oder durchscheinenden Randsteine eingelegt werden. Durch Anlegen einer Wechselspannung mit einer Frequenz zwischen rund 100 bis 2000 Hertz leuchten diese Folien, wobei die Lichtabstrahlung mit nahezu vollkommener Gleichmäßigkeit über die Fläche verteilt ist. Zu beachten ist dabei, dass die erreichbaren Lichtstärken relativ niedrig sind, der Preis der Folie relativ hoch ist und zur Speisung mit elektrischer Energie stets noch ein eigenes Netzteil erforderlich ist, das die jeweils benötigte Frequenz mit ausreichender Leistung bereitstellt.In many other applications, it may also be desired that the surface of the curbs is illuminated as evenly as possible. For this, e.g. Electroluminescent films are inserted in the transparent or translucent curbs. By applying an alternating voltage with a frequency between approximately 100 to 2000 hertz, these foils light up, whereby the light emission is distributed with almost perfect uniformity over the surface. It should be noted that the achievable light levels are relatively low, the price of the film is relatively high and for power supply with electrical energy always a separate power supply is required, which provides the required frequency with sufficient power.
Deshalb sind auf aktuellem Stand der Technik nach wie vor verschiedene Arten von Glühlampen - z.B. mit einer Füllung aus Halogenen zum Verlängern der Lebensdauer - geeignet, sowie Leuchtdi-oder, auch in der Ausführung als OLED, was als Abkürzung für organic light emitting diode wegen der Schichten aus organischem Material steht.Therefore, various types of incandescent lamps - e.g. with a filling of halogens to extend the life - suitable, as well as Leuchtdi or, also in the execution as OLED, which stands as an abbreviation for organic light emitting diode because of the layers of organic material.
All diese Lichtquellen strahlen ihr Licht zumeist in einem mehr oder minder begrenzten Winkel ab. Um diese Lichtstrahlen zumindest auf einem Teil der Außenfläche eines Randsteines gleichmäßig, zu verteilen, schlägt eine Ausführung vor, an die Lichtquelle jeweils Glasfasern oder Formteile aus Plexiglas anzuschließen, welche durch wenigstens einmalige Reflektion die Lichtstrahlen der Lichtquelle zumindest auf einem Teil der Außenfläche eines Randsteines gleichmäßig verteilt.All these light sources emit their light mostly in a more or less limited angle. To evenly distribute these rays of light on at least part of the outer surface of a curb, proposes an embodiment to connect to the light source in each case glass fibers or moldings made of Plexiglas, which evenly distributed by at least one reflection, the light rays of the light source at least on a part of the outer surface of a curb.
Derartige Lichtleiter sind ihrem Prinzip nach in zahlreichen Variationen bekannt. Sie können als eine zusätzliche Baugruppe zwischen die Lichtquelle und die Innenwand eines hohlen Randsteines eingefügt werden. Von dort ragen sie dann bis an die Lichtquelle heran.Such light guides are known in principle in numerous variations. They can be inserted as an additional assembly between the light source and the inner wall of a hollow curb. From there they rise up to the light source.
Eine andere Alternative zur Leitung des Lichtes ist ein Reflektor wie z.B. eine Metallfolie, die einen Teil der Lichtstrahlen durch Reflektion umlenkt. Insbesondere bei Glühbirnen und anderen Lichtquellen, die ihre Lichtstrahlen über einen besonders großen Winkel hinweg abstrahlen, können damit z.B. Lichtstrahlen genutzt werden, die ansonsten nur die nicht sichtbaren Flächen eines Randsteines ausleuchten würden.Another alternative to directing the light is a reflector, such as e.g. a metal foil that deflects some of the light rays by reflection. In particular, in the case of light bulbs and other light sources which radiate their light rays over a particularly large angle, they can be used e.g. Beams are used that would otherwise illuminate only the non-visible surfaces of a curb.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich können auch Lichtleiter- in kleiner Ausführung als Prismen oder Linsen - auf die Außenhaut eines Randsteines aufgeformt werden, um dort für eine gleichmäßige Verteilung der Lichtstrahlen Sorge tragen.Alternatively or additionally, optical fibers in a smaller version than prisms or lenses can be molded onto the outer skin of a curb in order to ensure a uniform distribution of the light rays there.
In einer weiteren Variante wird die Außenfläche wenigstens eines Randsteines mit einem Lack beschichtet, der Metallelemente mit einer glänzenden und reflektierenden Oberfläche enthält. Diese Metallelemente dienen in einer Doppelfunktion einmal der Erhöhung der Rutschfestigkeit und zum anderen der Erzeugung von Reflektionen, die bei der ästhetischen Gestaltung als ein weiterer Parameter zur Verfügung stehen.In a further variant, the outer surface of at least one curb is coated with a lacquer containing metal elements with a shiny and reflective surface. These metal elements serve in a dual function once to increase the slip resistance and on the other hand, the generation of reflections, which are available in the aesthetic design as another parameter.
Eine andere Ausführungsform ist die Beschichtung mit phosphoreszierendem Material. Es enthält elementaren, weißen Phosphor, der nach der Bestrahlung mit ultraviolettem Licht, auch Schwarzlicht genannt, bis zu einigen Stunden nachleuchten kann.Another embodiment is the coating with phosphorescent material. It contains elemental, white phosphorus, which can glow after exposure to ultraviolet light, also called black light, for up to several hours.
Bei Beschichtung mit fluoreszierendern Material ermöglicht die Auswahl des fluoreszierenden Werkstoffes eine Vielfalt von verschiedenen Farben, die durch Bestrahlung mit einer für alle Teilflächen gemeinsamen und gleichen ultravioletten Lichtstrahlen aktiviert werden kann.When coated with fluorescent material, the selection of the fluorescent material allows a variety of different colors, which can be activated by irradiation with a common and the same ultraviolet light rays for all surfaces.
Ein Randstein kann auch ein Hohlkörper aus Glas sein, der wenigstens eine Öffnung aufweist, durch welche hindurch die Lichtquellen in den Hohlraum einlegbar sind. Glas hat den Vorteil, dass seine Rohstoffe in sehr großer Menge verfügbar sind und zu geringen Kosten verarbeitbar sind. Die Archäologie beweist, dass sich die Lebensdauer von Glasteilen über Jahrhunderte erstrecken kann. Als Glasbausteine sind sie in Gebäuden bekannt und bewährt.A curb can also be a hollow body made of glass, which has at least one opening through which the light sources can be inserted into the cavity. Glass has the advantage that its raw materials are available in very large quantities and can be processed at low cost. Archeology proves that the life of glass parts can extend over centuries. As glass blocks they are known and proven in buildings.
Um in die gläsernen Hohlkörper Lichtquellen einlegen zu können, muss er entsprechende Öffnungen aufweisen. Es empfiehlt sich, die Öffnungen nach dem Einlegen gut zu verschließen, damit die im Hohlkörper befindlichen Lichtquellen optimal geschützt sind.In order to insert light sources into the hollow glass body, it must have corresponding openings. It is recommended that the openings close well after insertion, so that the light sources located in the hollow body are optimally protected.
Zu diesem Zweck werden kreisförmige Öffnungen vorgeschlagen, die mit einem Gewinde versehen sind. Dahinein können komplementär geformte Abschlussdeckel eingeschraubt werden und eine Dichtmasse in den Spalt zwischen Innen- und Außengewinde gegossen werden Oder es drückt ein überkragender Deckel eine Rundschnurdichtung auf den Rand des Hohlkörpers.For this purpose, circular openings are proposed, which are provided with a thread. Dahinein complementary shaped cover can be screwed in and poured a sealant in the gap between the inner and outer threads or it presses an overhanging lid a round cord seal on the edge of the hollow body.
Durch diesen Abschlussdeckel hindurch kann der elektrische Anschluss hergestellt werden. Wenn der Anschluss aus zwei Drähten besteht, empfiehlt sich diese vor dem Eindrehen in das Gewinde in gegenläufigem Sinne aufzuwickeln, sodass sie nach dem Eindrehen des Deckels wieder entwirrt sind und dadurch wieder relativ weit voneinander entfernt sind.Through this cover through the electrical connection can be made. If the connection consists of two wires, it is advisable to wind them in opposite directions before screwing them into the thread, so that they are unraveled again after screwing in the cover and are therefore relatively far apart again.
In einer Reihe von Randsteinen kann es ein optisches Gestaltungsmerkmal sein, dass von einer zentralen Steuerung aus die Helligkeit und /oder die Farbe der Lichtquellen einzeln oder in Gruppen veränderbar sind. Oder es kann die gesamte Beleuchtung des Beckenrandes gemeinsam in ihrer Helligkeit oder ihrer Farbe oder ihren Färben verändert werden.In a series of curbs, it may be an optical design feature that the brightness and / or the color of the light sources are changeable individually or in groups from a central control. Or the entire lighting of the pool edge can be changed together in their brightness or their color or their coloring.
Alternativ kann sich auch ein "Lauflicht" um den Beckenrand herum bewegen, das aus einer Reihe von schlagartig ein- und ausgeschalteten Lichtquellen besteht. Alternativ können die "wandernden" Lichtimpulse auch durch das gestufte oder sogar stufenfreie Dimmen der einzelnen Lichtquellen erzeugt werden, sofern der Dimmer entsprechend schnell reagiert.Alternatively, a "running light" can move around the edge of the pool, which consists of a series of abruptly switched on and off light sources. Alternatively, the "wandering" light pulses can also be generated by the stepped or even step-less dimming of the individual light sources, as long as the dimmer responds accordingly quickly.
Ein zusätzlicher Parameter ist die jeweilige Farbe der Lichtquellen. So sind z.B. mehrfarbige Leuchtdioden bekannt, die durch das Einbetten von Leuchtdioden mit verschiedenen Farben in ein einziges Gehäuse gebildet werden.An additional parameter is the respective color of the light sources. Thus, e.g. Multicolor light-emitting diodes are known which are formed by embedding light-emitting diodes with different colors in a single housing.
Zur Ansteuerung für diese oder andere Lichtspiele kann jede Lichtquelle oder jede Gruppe von Lichtquellen entweder mittels eines eigenen Anschlusskabels mit der Steuerung verbunden werden, oder es kann jeder Lichtquelle oder jeder Gruppe von Lichtquellen ein Empfangs- und Steuerungsbaustein zugeordnet werden. Dieser Baustein empfängt von der Steuerung Befehle, die entweder über ein separates Bussystem übertragen werden. Alternativ können sie auch durch Impulse übertragen werden, die der Versorgungsspannung aufmoduliert sind. Denkbär ist es sogar diese Steuerungsbefehle drahtlos über elektromagnetische Wellen von einer zentralen Steuerung auszusenden. Der Vorteil ist, dass dann keine extra Informationsverbindung als physikalisch existierende Leitung geschaffen werden muss. In jedem Fall werden die von der Steuerung dem jeweiligen Baustein mitgeteilten Befehle zur Ansteuerung der Lichtquellen oder der Gruppen von Lichtquellen umgesetzt.To control these or other light plays each light source or each group of light sources either by means of its own Connection cable are connected to the controller, or it can be assigned to each light source or each group of light sources, a receiving and control module. This block receives commands from the controller, which are either transmitted via a separate bus system. Alternatively, they can also be transmitted by pulses that are modulated on the supply voltage. Denkbär even sends these control commands wirelessly via electromagnetic waves from a central control. The advantage is that then no extra information connection must be created as physically existing line. In any case, the instructions communicated by the control to the respective module for the control of the light sources or the groups of light sources are implemented.
Für Wasserbecken, insbesondere für Schwimmbecken ist es sinnvoll, dass am Rand der Wasseroberfläche zumindest bei einem Teil der Randsteine in deren Oberfläche eine Rinne eingeformt wird, die aufnimmt sich an die Rinne wenigstens eines benachbarten Randsteines anschließt. Diese Rinnen nehmen überschwappendes Wasser auf. Die aus allen Rinnen in den einzelnen Randsteinen gebildete Gesamtrinne kann an ein Verbindungsrohr oder an eine Verbindungsrinne angeschlossen werden. Auf diesem Weg kann z.B. das überschwappende Wasser in ein Sammelbecken geleitet werden und von aus oder auch direkt zu einer Filtrierungs- oder Reinigungsanlage geleitet werden.For water basins, in particular for swimming pools, it makes sense that at least at a part of the curbs in the surface of which a channel is formed at the edge of the water surface, which adjoins the gutter of at least one adjacent curb adjoins. These channels absorb excess water. The total channel formed from all channels in the individual curbs can be connected to a connecting pipe or to a connecting channel. In this way, e.g. the overflowing water is led into a collecting basin and is led from out of or directly to a filtration or purification plant.
Bei Wasserbecken mit einem ganz beliebigen, z.B. mehrfach in wechselnden Richtungen gekrümmten Umriss, kann die Reihe der Randsteine nur aus untereinander verschiedenen Exemplaren bestehen. In der Praxis wird sich jedoch voraussichtlich die Mehrzahl der Anwendungsfälle darauf beschränken, einen Baukasten mit einer begrenzten-Anzahl von verschiedenen Typen der Randsteine zu nutzen.In the case of water basins with a completely arbitrary outline, for example curved in multiple alternating directions, the row of curbs can only consist of mutually different specimens. In practice, however, the majority of use cases is expected to be limited to a modular system with a limited number of different types of curbs to use.
Bei den Randsteinen dieses Baukastens ist das Profil in Richtung des Randes jeweils identisch ist oder zumindest mit dem benachbarten Randstein kombinierbar ist. Die Länge in Richtung des Randes ist jeweils unterschiedlich, z.B. Randsteine mit voller oder halber oder viertel Standardlänge und ein ganz kurzes Korrekturstück.In the curbs of this kit, the profile in the direction of the edge is identical or at least can be combined with the adjacent curb. The length in the direction of the edge is different in each case, e.g. Curbs with full or half or quarter standard length and a very short correction piece.
Der horizontale Umriss der Randsteine kann - zur Bildung von Graden - etwa rechteckig sein kann. Für polygonale Verläufe des Randes ist ein trapezförmiger Umriss gut nutzbar. Bögen im Verlauf des Randes können durch Kreisringsegmente zusammen gesetzt werden.The horizontal outline of the curbs can - for the formation of grades - be approximately rectangular. For polygonal curves of the edge, a trapezoidal outline can be used well. Arcs along the edge can be put together by circular ring segments.
Im Folgenden sollen weitere Einzelheiten und Merkmale der Erfindung anhand eines Beispiels näher erläutert werden. Dieses soll die Erfindung jedoch nicht einschränken, sondern nur erläutern. Es zeigt in schematischer Darstellung:
