Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to the technical improvement of an energy supply device for an electrical consumer with an energy source and with an electrical connection for the electrical consumer and with an on / off switching element, through which in an electrical line connection between the energy source and the Connection the connection is switched "on” or "off".
  • Try-Me devices are known in particular for the packaging of electrical consumers as merchandise:
  • Packaging covers such as cardboard boxes still contain the consumer (a string of lights, especially with LEDs as lights, only extremely exemplary, but especially widespread in the Christmas season) inaccessible to the customer - and are equipped with a small battery connected to the consumer as well as an on button. This is then arranged in such a way that it can be operated from outside the cover. For example, the function of the consumer can be tried out before the purchase without having to remove it from the case.
  • the cover is known (and thus possibly also according to the invention) to have a window or an opening through which the glow of the light source is visible.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating a "try-me” device, the sustainability of which is improved. This task is performed by a power supply device solved with the features of claim 1. Preferred configurations are given in the subclaims.
  • An energy supply device for an electrical consumer (for example a chain of lights in particular with LEDs as lights) has an energy source and an electrical connection for the electrical consumer and an on / off switching element (for example a switch or button) in an electrical Line connection between the energy source and the connection.
  • the device is set up by the switching element to switch the connection “on” or “off”.
  • This device is characterized by a "Try-Me” button, namely an on button in particular for the "Try-Me” function described above, according to the invention between the energy source and the connection through which the connection can be switched “on” when the switching element is switched “off”.
  • this device does not need an additional battery that is thrown away as soon as the consumer has been put into use with the energy source intended for the intended use, because the energy source for the "Try-Me" function is the intended energy source itself.
  • the on / off switching element and the "Try-Me" button are particularly preferably located in a "common" housing (or in particular in the same housing assembly) - and very particularly preferred if the energy source has at least one battery compartment, in particular with an inserted battery and / or at least one battery is also the energy source.
  • the device according to the invention can particularly preferably also have a second small energy store, for example in the form of a capacitance or capacitor and / or a small battery, in the one housing.
  • This mechanical embodiment of the invention in which the on / off switching element designed as a button of the invention Device between "try-me” function and on / off switching of the consumer mechanically by removing the stroke limiter or "remodel” can, in particular, alternatively, instead of the removable stroke limiter, also be designed electronically by an electronic circuit logic that can be switched between a "Try-Me” button behavior (when the button is pressed “on”, when released “off") and the "actual” on / off switching of the consumer in the intended use, namely with each press of the button between "on” and " off “to switch.
  • a consumer for example a chain of lights, in particular with LEDs as lights
  • the energy supply device - and possibly also already packaged then namely a packaging sleeve with the consumer (for example the chain of lights, in particular with LEDs as lights) and with the Energy supply device whose on button is arranged so that it can be operated from outside the cover.
  • the casing particularly preferably has a viewing window through which the glow of the light source can be seen, or it is at least translucent in order to be able to check that the glow is functioning.
  • Each of the illustrated energy supply devices 2, 2 ', 2 "for an LED light chain 4 as an electrical consumer has an energy source 6, 6' and an electrical connection 8 for the electrical consumer 4, namely a supply cable 8 and an on / off -Switching element 10, 12.
  • this is a switch 10 ( Fig. 1 and 3 ) or a button 12 ( Fig. 2 ) in an electrical line connection 14 between the energy source 6, 6 'and the connection 8.
  • the respective device 2, 2', 2 is set up by the switching element 10, 12 to switch the connection 8" on “or” off ", thus to generate or interrupt the flow of electricity there.
  • the devices 2, 2 ′, 2 ′′ are characterized by a “Try-Me” button 15, namely an on button 15 for the “Try-Me” function described in the introduction arranged, and through it the connection 8 can be switched “on” (namely briefly by pressing the button) when the on / off switching element 10, 12 is switched “off”.
  • this device 2, 2 ', 2 "mostly does not need an additional battery that is thrown away as soon as the consumer 4 has been put into use with the energy source 6, 6' provided for the intended use, because the energy source for the" Try-Me "Function is mostly the intended energy source itself.
  • the Try-Me button 15 does not need to be thrown away because it is integrated in each of the devices 2, 2 ', 2" in the same housing 16 in which the On / off switching element 10 (as well as in accordance with Fig. 1 and 2 also the energy source 6, namely three battery compartments 6 each with an inserted battery) are located.
  • the "energy source” in the sense of the invention can also be a mains connection plug 6 '( Fig. 3 ; which is then plugged into the connection of a voltage source such as a USB plug on a computer or, according to the plug 6 'shown, into a house connection socket (not shown) for the actual energy supply).
  • the device 2 ′′ has a second small energy store 18 in the form of a small battery 18 in a small separate connection device 20 for the plug 6 ′.
  • the "Try-Me” button 15 is formed by the on / off switching element 12 itself, that is, not a separate button: in that the switching element 12 is namely an on / off button, that is to say a button with the button behavior to switch between "on” and “off” each time the button is pressed.
  • the on / off switching element 12 which is designed as a button, can be switched or “converted” between the “try-me” function and the on / off switching of the consumer. This is (in the highly schematic representation of Fig.
  • Each of the consumers 4 shown is packed together with its energy supply device 2, 2 ', 2 "in a cardboard box 26: in a packaging sleeve 26, where the energy supply device and in particular its Try-Me button 15 is arranged so that it can be actuated from outside the cover 26.
  • the cover 26 has a viewing window 28 through which the lighting of the LED light sources of the chain 4 is visible when the Try-Me button 15 is from is actuated outside the shell 26 in order to be able to test the lighting for functioning and lighting effect.
