Where energy storage means (80) comprise conductors (81) and connectors (82) which are arranged in the form of serial, parallel, or mixed connection towards the means of luminous emission (25) (35). Where it can include various means of recharging for the energy storage means (80) such as through a solar panel, or direct charging from domestic energy networks.
Figures 12 and 13 reveal a particular realization of the luminous signs (20) (30), which include a layer with prints (22b) (32b), which can be a sheet with digital prints in color or with letters, slogans, phrases, images or mixed character. Where the layers with prints (22b) (32b) are inserted into the light box of either or both luminous signs.
Figures 14 and 15 reveal the configuration of any luminous sign (20) (30) that is shaped like a light box, comprising a translucent display (22) (32) which is coupled to a light box frame (21) (31); where the luminous sign (20) (30) has a reflective layer (24) (34) substantially parallel to the translucent display (22) (32) respectively, where the reflective layer (24) (34) is substantially framed in the light box frame (21) (31), in addition it includes a lighting emission medium (25) (35) in the form of a ribbon with LEDs; where the sign (20) (30) has a removable printed layer (22b) (32b), which allow the printed image to be projected at night efficiently. Where the removable printed layers (22b) (32b) could be of material such as paper, cardboard, acetate, or flexible Gomo sheets printable with a printer in color or black and white.
Where the translucent screen (22) (32) could have two sheets and as a sandwich a removable printed layer (22b) (32b) is inserted respectively, where this realization could be implemented in one or both luminous signs.
The way of attaching the translucent screen (22) (32) to the light box frame (21) (31) can be implemented in various ways for example through removable adhesive or Velcro means (23) (33).
Where the translucent screens are of acrylic or plastic material that will be moldable or thermoformable in substantially light or translucent colors, which allow the partial passage of the light emitted by the luminous emission media.
Where the printed removable layer (22b) (32b) is located between the translucent screen (22) (32) and the luminous emission media (25) (35) respectively. The implementation of the removable printed layers allows the change of the images that are going to be projected in the luminous signs through the forms of light boxes to be even more versatile and faster.
The term translucent, masculine or feminine, could be measured by means of optical transmittance, where the percentage of optical transmittance is in the range between 5% to 95% for each translucent display (22) (32), prints (22a) (32a) and removable printed layers (22b) (32b).
