DISPOSITIVO DE PUBLICIDAD ILUMINADOILLUMINATED ADVERTISING DEVICE

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención trata de un dispositivo de publicidad iluminado destinado a instalarse en un surtidor de bebidas, que comprende un marco transparente o traslucido que aloja un cuerpo emisor de luz, una pluralidad de capas que difuminan la luz y unas capas frontales y trasera impresas dotadas de elementos publicitarios.The present invention deals with an illuminated advertising device intended to be installed in a beverage dispenser, which comprises a transparent or translucent frame that houses a light-emitting body, a plurality of layers that diffuse light and some printed front and back layers provided of advertising elements.

Más en particular, la presente invención permite que el propio marco esté iluminado y que incluso este pueda comprender elementos publicitarios impresos para que la publicidad sea visible desde más sitios del establecimiento. Adicionalmente los elementos publicitarios pueden estar tanto en la parte frontal como en la parte trasera del dispositivo.More in particular, the present invention allows the frame itself to be illuminated and even it can comprise printed advertising elements so that the advertising is visible from more places in the establishment. Additionally, the advertising elements can be both on the front and on the back of the device.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el sector de la hostelería son conocidos surtidores o dispensadores de bebida, que tienen en la parte superior, donde se encuentra situado un tirador, una imagen publicitaria del producto. Normalmente esta imagen suele ir iluminada para captar más la atención la visibilidad sea mejor.In the hospitality sector, drink dispensers or dispensers are known, which have an advertising image of the product at the top, where a handle is located. Normally this image is usually illuminated to attract more attention, visibility is better.

El problema asociado a estos elementos publicitarios iluminados es que únicamente están iluminados por la zona frontal de modo que la parte trasera y los laterales quedan inutilizados para colocar elementos impresos publicitarios iluminados y la publicidad se ve únicamente desde la zona frontal del dispensador de bebidas.The problem associated with these illuminated advertising elements is that they are only illuminated from the front area so that the back and the sides are unusable for placing illuminated advertising printed elements and the advertising is only seen from the front area of the beverage dispenser.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Más concretamente la presente invención trata de un dispositivo de publicidad iluminado destinado a instalarse en un surtidor de bebidas, caracterizado por que comprende un marco transparente o traslucido dotado de una cavidad interior, dotado de dos bordes y de una superficie interior entre los bordes y que comprende al menos un rebaje, un soporte acoplado al marco dotado de una primera cavidad enfrentada a la cavidad interior y está destinado a vincularse al surtidor. Adicionalmente el dispositivo comprende un cuerpo emisor alojado en el marco y dotado de una superficie perimetral enfrentada a la superficie interior y limitada por dos caras laterales enfrentadas entre sí, que comprende unos diodos emisores de luz, al menos una placa difusora de material traslucido enfrentada a una de las caras laterales y al menos una tapa impresa enfrentada a la placa difusora y alojada en el rebaje del marco.More specifically, the present invention deals with an illuminated advertising device intended to be installed in a beverage dispenser, characterized in that it comprises a transparent or translucent frame provided with an internal cavity, provided with two edges and with an internal surface between the edges and which it comprises at least one recess, a support coupled to the frame provided with a first cavity facing the interior cavity and is intended to be linked to the spout. Additionally, the device comprises an emitter body housed in the frame and provided with a perimeter surface facing the inner surface and limited by two side faces facing each other, comprising light emitting diodes, at least one diffuser plate of translucent material facing one of the side faces and at least one printed cover facing the diffuser plate and housed in the recess of the frame.

De este modo, la luz generada en el cuerpo emisor llega al marco y gracias a su material transparente o traslucido, según necesidades, la luz traspasa por el marco. Asimismo, la luz llega hasta la tapa impresa iluminándola. Tanto en el marco como en la tapa impresa se puede imprimir motivos publicitarios relacionados con la marca del surtidor, por ejemplo, de modo que son más visibles. El soporte permite unir el marco al surtidor de manera fácil e intuitiva y el montaje del mismo es sencillo ya que la tapa impresa se coloca en el rebaje haciendo de tope para el cuerpo y la placa difusora.In this way, the light generated in the emitting body reaches the frame and thanks to its transparent or translucent material, depending on needs, the light passes through the frame. Also, the light reaches the printed cover illuminating it. Advertising motifs related to the dispenser brand, for example, can be printed on both the frame and the printed cover so that they are more visible. The support allows the frame to be attached to the spout in an easy and intuitive way and its assembly is simple since the printed cover is placed in the recess acting as a stop for the body and the diffuser plate.
