Description

Columna decorativa.Decorative column

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una columna, que como tal está destinada a establecerse entre un suelo y un techo, pero que frente a su clásico carácter estructural tiene una finalidad meramente decorativa, influyendo de forma decisiva en la estética del habitáculo en el que se encuentra implantada.The present invention relates to a column, that as such is destined to settle between a floor and a ceiling, but that in front of its classic structural character has a purely decorative purpose, decisively influencing the aesthetics of the cabin in which it is implanted.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir una columna cinemática y cromáticamente activa, que aprovecha los efectos de la luz al reflejarse sobre corpúsculos móviles, generando un efecto altamente atractivo.The object of the invention is to achieve a Kinematic and chromatically active column, which takes advantage of light effects when reflected on moving corpuscles, generating a highly attractive effect.

Description of the invention

Para ello y de forma más concreta la columna que se preconiza está constituida mediante un cuerpo tubular, de vidrio, con cualquier diámetro que se estime conveniente y con una cota axial adecuada a la altura del habitáculo en el que ha de implantarse, tubo que, mediante un conducto auxiliar, se cierra sobre sí mismo definiendo un circuito neumático estanco en el que se establece un impulsor, capaz de arrastrar a través de dicho circuito cerrado a una masa de pequeñas bolas de porespán, es decir de poliestireno expandido, capaces de desplazarse por el tubo de vidrio o de mantenerse en suspensión en el interior del mismo, aunque con movilidad.To do this and more specifically the column that it is recommended it is constituted by a tubular body, of glass, with any diameter deemed convenient and with a axial dimension appropriate to the height of the passenger compartment where implanted, a tube that, through an auxiliary duct, closes about itself defining a sealed pneumatic circuit in which an impeller is established, capable of dragging through said closed circuit to a mass of small porespán balls, that is made of expanded polystyrene, capable of moving through the tube of glass or to stay suspended inside it, although with mobility.

El cuerpo tubular de vidrio incorpora en sus extremos sendas baterías de focos de luz de haz concentrado, que lógicamente dejan pasar a su través tanto la corriente de aire como las bolas de porespán en suspensión, existiendo en cada batería de focos dos grupos, uno en el que dichos focos son fijos y otro en el que están montados en línea sobre una base giratoria, cuyo giro puede venir determinado por medios motrices propios, pero preferentemente se deberá a la corriente de aire generada por el impulsor.The tubular glass body incorporates in its extreme paths of concentrated beam light bulbs, which logically they let through both the air flow and the porespán balls in suspension, existing in each battery of focus two groups, one in which these focuses are fixed and another in the which are mounted in line on a rotating base, whose turn It may be determined by its own motor means, but preferably due to the air flow generated by the driving.

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención se ha previsto que el conducto auxiliar presente un diámetro considerablemente menor que el del cuerpo tubular de vidrio, al objeto de aumentar la velocidad del aire, cuyo sentido de circulación puede ser indistintamente ascendente o descendente en el seno del cuerpo tubular de vidrio.According to another of the characteristics of the It is provided that the auxiliary conduit has a diameter considerably smaller than that of the tubular body of glass, in order to increase the air velocity, whose sense of circulation can be either ascending or descending inside the tubular glass body.

Volviendo nuevamente a las baterías de focos, se ha previsto la posibilidad de poder encender tan solo los montados en línea y hacerlos girar, consiguiéndose de ésta manera un haz plano que ira girando dentro del tubo, o bien que sean encendidos simultáneamente todos los focos de luz, tanto los fijos como los giratorios consiguiéndose en tal caso una columna lumínica de sección circular.Going back to the spotlight batteries, it has planned the possibility of being able to turn on only the mounted in line and spin them, thus achieving a beam plane that will rotate inside the tube, or that they are turned on simultaneously all light bulbs, both fixed and rotating in this case getting a light column of circular section

En cualquier caso todos los focos luminosos contarán con filtros de color, de modo que se puedan crear columnas de colores diferentes y cambiantes, pudiendo además en el caso de los focos móviles combinar los colores del arco-iris, con lo que se logra crear en un haz plano semejante a dicho arco-iris que, con el objeto de que se aprecie en diferentes lugares, irá girando lentamente.In any case all the light bulbs they will have color filters, so that columns can be created of different and changing colors, also being able in the case of the mobile spotlights combine the colors of the rainbow, which is achieved in a flat beam similar to that rainbow that, in order to that is appreciated in different places, it will turn slowly.

Todos estos efectos se logran al reflejarse la luz de los focos en las innumerables bolitas de porespán que "materializan" visualmente la columna decorativa.All these effects are achieved by reflecting the spotlight on the countless porespan balls that visually "materialize" the decorative column.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de la figura reseñada puede observarse como la columna decorativa que se preconiza está constituida a partir de un cuerpo tubular (1) de vidrio trasparente u otro material de similares características, de longitud apropiada para establecerse entre el suelo (2) y el techo (3) del habitáculo al que se destina.In view of the review figure you can observe how the decorative column that is recommended is constituted from a tubular body (1) of transparent glass or other material of similar characteristics, of appropriate length to settle between the floor (2) and the roof (3) of the passenger compartment to which it is intended.

Este cuerpo tubular (1) se complementa con un conducto auxiliar (4) de diámetro considerablemente menor, conectado al cuerpo (1) en circuito cerrado, a través de sectores superior (5) e inferior (6) que al igual que el propio conducto (4) quedan ocultos en la estructura del habitáculo, por ejemplo en el seno de los forjados que lo delimitan.This tubular body (1) is complemented by a auxiliary conduit (4) of considerably smaller diameter, connected to the body (1) in a closed circuit, through sectors upper (5) and lower (6) than like the conduit itself (4) they remain hidden in the cabin structure, for example in the bosom of the slabs that delimit it.

El circuito cerrado constituido por el cuerpo tubular (1) y el conducto auxiliar (4) está sustancialmente ocupado por una pluralidad de bolitas (7) de porespán, de reducido diámetro, preferentemente del orden de cuatro milímetros, que circulan en el seno de dicho circuito arrastradas por la corriente de aire generada por un impulsor (8), del tipo de los utilizados en sistemas de aire acondicionado, impulsor que en el ejemplo de realización práctica de la figura se sitúa en el tramo inferior (6) del circuito cerrado (1-6-4-5), pero que obviamente puede ubicarse en cualquier otro lugar oculto de dicho circuito. De análoga manera en la figura se ha representado mediante flechas un sentido de circulación para el aire que resulta descendente en el seno del cuerpo tubular (1) constitutivo de la columna propiamente dicha, pero evidentemente el sentido de circulación del aire puede ser contrario, y la intensidad del mismo puede ser también variable, en función de la velocidad prevista para las bolitas de porespán (7), que pueden llegar incluso a mantenerse "flotando", aunque no inmóviles.The closed circuit constituted by the body tubular (1) and the auxiliary conduit (4) is substantially occupied for a plurality of porespán balls (7), of reduced diameter, preferably of the order of four millimeters, which circulate within this circuit dragged by the current of air generated by an impeller (8), of the type used in air conditioning systems, impeller than in the example of practical embodiment of the figure is located in the lower section (6) of the closed circuit (1-6-4-5), but what obviously it can be located in any other hidden place of said circuit. In the same way the figure has been represented using arrows a direction of circulation for the resulting air descending within the tubular body (1) constituting the column itself, but obviously the sense of air circulation can be contrary, and the intensity of it It can also be variable, depending on the expected speed for the porespán balls (7), which can even reach keep "floating", although not motionless.

Para que la columna cumpla su función ornamental la movilidad de las bolitas de porespán (7) debe completarse con haces lumínicos que incidan sobre las mismas, a cuyo efecto y como se observa perfectamente en las figuras, en los extremos del cuerpo tubular (1) o columna propiamente dicha se establecen sendas baterías (9-9') de focos de luz de haz concentrado. Estas baterías (9-9') están asistidas por sendos conos de vidrio (10-10') con su vértice dentado en contra de la dirección del aire en el seno del circuito cerrado, de manera que actúan como deflectores que distribuyen convenientemente las bolitas de porespán (7) en el señalado cuerpo tubular (1), concretamente en el caso del cono superior (10), y para aislar la batería de focos inferior (9'), como se desprende en la observación de la figura. Estos conos (10-10') deben de ser forzosamente de vidrio transparente, para permitir el paso de la luz a su través, en especial el cono inferior (10') bajo el que se sitúa la batería de focos (9').For the column to fulfill its ornamental function The mobility of porespán balls (7) must be completed with light beams that affect them, for which purpose and as It is perfectly seen in the figures, at the ends of the body tubular (1) or column itself paths are established batteries (9-9 ') of concentrated beam light bulbs. These batteries (9-9 ') are assisted by two glass cones (10-10 ') with its serrated vertex in against the direction of the air within the closed circuit, of way they act as baffles that conveniently distribute the porespán balls (7) in the indicated tubular body (1), specifically in the case of the upper cone (10), and to isolate the lower spotlight battery (9 '), as shown in the observation of the figure. These cones (10-10 ') must be necessarily of transparent glass, to allow the passage of light through it, especially the lower cone (10 ') under which place the battery of spotlights (9 ').

Dentro de cada batería de focos (9-9') se establece una fila de focos fijos (11-11') y una fila giratoria (12-12'), todos ellos provistos de filtros de color, de modo que se pueden crear columnas de colores diferentes y cambiantes.Inside each battery of spotlights (9-9 ') a row of fixed spotlights is established (11-11 ') and a rotating row (12-12 '), all provided with filters color, so that columns of different colors can be created and changing.

De esta manera los haces de luz generados por los focos (11-11'), (12-12') se dirigen desde los extremos a la zona media del cuero tubular (1) o columna propiamente dicha, y en su trayectoria se reflejan aleatoriamente sobre la gran profusión de bolitas de porespán (7) existentes en dicho cuerpo tubular (1) "macizando" visualmente la columna, caprichosamente coloreada y con un cromatismo cambiante.In this way the light beams generated by the spotlights (11-11 '), (12-12') are direct from the ends to the middle zone of the tubular leather (1) or column itself, and in its trajectory they are reflected randomly about the great profusion of porespán balls (7) existing in said tubular body (1) "visually solidifying" the column, capriciously colored and with a chromaticism changing
