Description

Flexible self-supporting lampshade.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a form construction of the lamp tool, in its object mode artificial light diffuser through screen.

This new constructive form is based on a part in the use of certain flexible materials such as diffuser screen of light, and on the other in grooved supports that, together with the laminar lampshade, they form curved lamps and of very different dimensions.

The object of the invention is that the union between both elements is done manually, without the need for screws or adhesives: the flexibility of the screen element itself embedded in the right support, and its tendency to regain its shape flat, they provide grip and self-restraint.

Background

Traditionally flexible screens (papers or fabrics) require a generally metallic support that It serves as a structure and forms them. This metal structure It also includes radial elements that serve as a fastener to the cap

The way to join the screen to its support usually be using adhesive tapes, specially developed for this finish.

The screens can be circular, oval, rectangular, square ... and can be used as lamps desktop, stand, suspension or wall. In all cases, they need, in addition to the structural element that forms them, of additional elements of the use that you want to give to Object: sockets in the case of table or floor lamps, cables or chains in the case of suspension, brackets additional in the case of wall lamps.

The union between the screens already formed and Its supports are always made by auxiliary elements: seatposts, screws, nuts ...

There are also self-supporting screens of plastic or glass, but the way to shape them is by molded, which makes them objects of dimensions not modifiable

Description of the invention

We have seen how the present invention is based in only two elements: flexible sheet and grooved support.

The sheet that constitutes the screen is shaped rectangular in its flat natural configuration. This sheet can be of plastic or paper material (plasticized or not, different qualities and weight). The only condition you must meet it is necessarily that it can be manipulated manually (other than excessively rigid), and withstand the heat of the bulb (respecting the distances marked by the Standards).

The side edges of the rectangular sheet are manually inserted into the slots of the support.

This structure, in addition to incorporating the slots that hold the screen, fulfills the function of support of the light elements (bulbs sockets incandescent or low consumption, fluorescent, leds ...). Can be regardless of wood, metal, plastic, or any other material that can perform the two functions described.

The grooves in the support can be Blind or interns.

In the case of being blind, the manual action to perform is to fit the screen into the slots, forcing the sheet to adopt a certain shape (front screen: appliques, table lamps, floor lamps).

In the case of being interns, the action to be performed is to thread the sheet through the slots (screen envelope: table lamps, floor, hanging).

In both cases it is not necessary to fix the screen to the structure with no auxiliary element: the result of the union between support, flexible sheet and how to assemble them It is a luminous object of great simplicity, versatile and practical.

Depending on the size of the support and the very different dimensions of the sheet are obtained. So, a The same support can serve as a base for a wall lamp or for a oval or circular table lamp depending on the dimension of the sheet, which will take one form or another by forcing it to fit into the corresponding slots. This feature gives the object A great versatility.

Moreover, the ease of fixing the screen to its structure allows the shipment of the disassembled lamp, accompanied by simple assembly instructions, which Simplifies and lowers both packaging and transportation.

Description of the sheet variants

The diversity of existing flexible materials in the market that can be used in these lamps the They become an object of great versatility.

The sheets can be simple or overlap playing with transparencies, they can be printed with any reason decorative or testimonial, can be photographic reproductions or original drawings protected by translucent materials ... They can die cut or burn.

Depending on the material used and the treatment adopted, the lamp becomes an object of art or high consumption lamp.

Claims (6)

1. Self-supporting flexible screen lamp, characterized by using certain interchangeable flexible materials as a light diffuser screen, which, together with grooved supports, form luminous objects of curved shapes and diverse measures, without using auxiliary elements in their union. 2. Lamp according to claim one, characterized in that the connection between the screen and the support structure is carried out manually by introducing the side edges of the screen into grooves made for this purpose in the support structure, without the need for screws or adhesives, in case of that the grooves are blind, or by sliding the foil through the grooves in case these are through. 3. Lamp according to claim one, characterized in that the clamping is produced by the tendency to recover the original flat shape of the flexible sheet constituting the screen. 4. Lamp according to claim one, in which can be installed diversity of flexible materials to obtain the desired transparency and light diffusion effects as well how to wear printed decorative or testimonial motifs. 5. Lamp according to claim one in the that the one that can incorporate photographic reproductions or drawings originals protected or not by an additional translucent sheet that It does the function of outer envelope. 6. Lamp according to claim one characterized by being removable, which facilitates its packaging and transport.
