Abstract

Luminous element and ionic signaling based on which it can be constituted by two or more glass plates and / or materials of a transparent nature fused or glued together. These plates are engraved with any drawing or shape, the engravings are treated with luminous salts deposited in them, together with their ionization electrodes that can be inside the channels of the engraving, or on the perimeter of the piece. Once the plates have been fused or glued together, the engravings are sealed and filled with noble gases or vapors mixed conveniently, which are blown through a cannula located anywhere in the perimeter or surface of the piece in which vacuum techniques are practiced to seal the pieces at a varied pressure range depending on the engraving and size of the pieces. This element being fed with an electronic circuit that ionizes the gases or vapors that are in the engravings creating a fluorescence along the engraving or attractive oscillating plasma energy forms throughout the engraving path.

Description

Luminous element and ionic indicator, by internal engraving

Object of the invention

The present invention has as its object the creation of a corporeal luminous element within which it presents a pre-established claim such as a text, a geometric figure, or an artistic figure, which may appear illuminated, and can be used in decoration, in the field of construction, as in the field of signaling, in vertical and horizontal walls. The basic idea of the present invention is based mainly on giving a new conception or dimension to what we know today as " Luminous elements inserted in a drawer or behind a glass or methacrylate etc ...". At the moment the luminous ones are independent part of any constructive element, being limited to the commercial claim and being placed in the facade or shop windows of each premises. Each unit of the mentioned luminaires, and those intended, can be transparent, translucent, colored, composed of different varieties of polymers, glass, glass etc., and constructed by different fusion and sealing techniques.

With the present invention it is intended to expand the purely ornamental qualities of what is known until today for a simple "Label or luminous", giving it a new dimension to a "Luminoso-neon-label-box of lights etc "... and getting to extend its usefulness and lighting and signaling performance, since within of design and construction opens possibilities infinitely greater than those achieved to date with the bright current, being able to use such luminous as coverings, or as space separators, etc.

The present invention is characterized by its special configuration and design, allowing a simple realization, said luminous being able to be carried out from a multitude of shapes, sizes and characteristics, getting infinity of Applications.

Therefore the present invention is circumscribes within the field of lighting, signage, architectural design and construction directly affecting the glass manufacturing industry mainly although they can be used a multitude of materials that allow a realization of the internal vacuum and its internal pressure variation, giving as result a unique and characteristic product.

Background of the invention

They are known today very diverse ways to make luminous, in tube, with different shapes, or hollow translucent molded, and its finished product, but they remain there, in cold units without life.

With the present invention it is intended to achieve that the light element may have other functions, and other characteristics different from those currently known.

The applicant himself has inquired about the principle that is used in the present invention reflected in Utility Model 200401611 on Polymorphic Coating of plasma plates

Explanation and description of the invention

To understand and justify the elements characteristic of the invention, both the forms of get the luminous ones, like some of their realizations

The object of the present invention can be arrive by different routes, one using a flat glass body which will be engraved on one of its faces by the system that we believe relevant as acid, sandblasting, wear mechanic, which will then face another similar body as a sandwich, joining them together by fussin or with appropriate glues, so that the engraving made is keep internally with one or two communications abroad to  perform the relevant vacuum, and introduce the products relevant to achieve adequate internal status of created cameras.

Moreover, they can be manufactured in series special bodies with preset engraved shapes, such so that when facing each other, internal cameras are created adequate.

In the same way they can face each other sandwich mode several bodies among which are believed different  internal cameras, giving a deep and colorful effect spectacular, being able to try and introduce each camera very various forms

One way or another, we will meet one or two accesses to each internal sealed chamber of the light element, to incorporate an access and sealing cannula, as well as for corresponding electrodes, which will be inside the engraving or outside on the perimeter of the piece or external surface.

Once the installation of these elements in the chamber created, the hollow access cannula is used, for the realization of a partial or total vacuum of the same, it will even allow us to alter the atmospheric pressure if desired, then they are introduced inside by said cannula a mixture of noble gases and vapors of inert nature that are susceptible to ionization , that is to say, emitting light after connecting the electrodes and having been exposed to the passage or induction of the electric current of a voltage booster circuit, both of alternating current as continuous.

Once the light element is sealed with the gas at low pressure inside or at another suitable pressure, and is fed by the electric voltage, it is ionized and produces bright rays and luminous forms inside. "The ionized gas in this state receives the name of plasma ", keeping illuminated the engraving made in the corresponding body that is the one that creates the camera.

If for example we put in contact posing the hand or foot in the luminous glass, it will attract the rays and plasma forms towards her, also creating beautiful forms electrical, depending on the potential applied, the material and electrode shapes, or pressures and amounts of Existing gases / vapors.

Said plasma light emission can be enhanced, with the fixation inside the luminous element, of doped luminous salts, such as zinc sulphide doped in very different ways . The phonic luminous element will be powered by one or more electric current transformers depending on their number and power consumption.

Advantages of the invention

The main advantages of this invention are as follows:

We can start from a product that is found in the market, although it would always be better to start from a chain manufacturing

Said result may be used both in the outside as in the interior of freshwater underwater waters and salty, since all the systems that make up the plate are sealed for such purposes.

Although the ionic light element broke due to misuse, there would be no risk of electric shock or explosion  since the intensity of the voltage used is practically very small, as well as the internal variable pressure since it will work at different pressures, higher and lower than the atmospheric

There are also no risks for the possible issuance of the gases in the chamber of the ionic light element since they are chemically inert in nature and their quantity is also very little.

Said luminous element may be constructed in the shape, thicknesses and sizes most suitable for each situation, can be installed as if it were a puzzle, or by overlapping layers creating multiple combinations.

The adaptation to an assembly line will be simple and its minimum costs, comparing with the advantages obtained, opening a multitude of application fields.
