Description

Network with electric light.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a network with electric light, which allows

show about it, letters, digits and visual effects. This type of network can be adapted to all sports, for advertising or for protection and security applications.

STATE OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE

the network is a fundamental element in sports practice, which has to

Always comply with current regulations regarding quality, durability and composition. In the context of hygiene and safety at work,

the use of protective nets is also mandatory in some cases, since

that prevent and reduce occupational accidents. That is why they have to

comply with a series of safety standards required in the European Union and other territories, depending on their use.

For example, volleyball and beach volleyball are sports where two teams

face each other on a smooth or sandy pitch, separated by a

central net, trying to pass the ball over the net towards the ground

from the opposite field. The network is placed vertically on the line

central and its upper edge is 2.43 m for men and 2.24 m for women. The net is 1 m wide and 9.50 m long, made of black plaid mesh 10 cm side. In the upper part there is a horizontal band 5 cm wide, made of white canvas, folded in two halves and sewn along its entire length. Each end of the band has the posts to keep its upper part tense. Inside the

Band passes a flexible cable to tie the net to the posts and keep its upper part tense. In the lower part of the net (without horizontal band) there is a rope, threaded in the mesh, which is attached to the posts to keep the lower part of the net tense. In the last decade, companies that manufacture sports networks such as volleyball offer

include print advertising in the horizontal band at the top.

The network is a sports technical element that has evolved in terms of its materials, measurements and type of knot. There are networks whose design is made up of a series of paintings, joined by knots. I also know

they manufacture hive-type networks, composed of hexagons, also joined by knots. Most nets are made of nylon or cotton, and the thickness varies between 2 and 5 mm.

The current networks reduce the possibilities of use to the mere separation of two fields. The fabric used for the elaboration of the network, in most meshes it has knots, so it is very difficult to insert cables

or led lights to form an interconnected lighting system. Another disadvantage of the current networks is that the possibilities of including advertising are very limited, being limited only to print and static advertising on the upper band or band (in some models, the canvas band frames the entire network).

At present, the tendency in the manufacture of networks is to manufacture them in

high tenacity polypropylene without knots. This type of network, available

commercially, it responds to the technical needs of split-field sports, whose practice is carried out both indoors and in

Exterior. However, regarding the possibilities for the dissemination of

information in situ, commercial networks do not provide solutions

integrated and totally different technical elements are required.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

It is necessary, depending on the above, the development of networks, whether for sports, advertising or security application, which comply with applicable regulations and also integrate an impermeable lighting system that allows to display text or images on them .

The present invention thus relates to a network with electric light integrated in the mesh, for sports, advertising, protection or any other use that could be convenient or interesting, in which visual information relating to the sporting event, advertising can be inserted or any type of message. The network, which has the effect of a led screen, has an electronic device for external lighting control. This device includes an application for phone / tablet for remote data entry. The network described in the present invention allows to display letters, digits and visual effects in the mesh.

In addition, the mesh can incorporate a top band consisting of a canvas tape, which can cover or surround the mesh in all

or some of its edges. This band has a flexible led screen integrated. This LED display is a printed circuit, that is to say a surface consisting of paths or tracks of conductive material laminated on a non-conductive base. The printed circuit is used to connect electrically through the conductive paths, and mechanically support through the base, a set of electronic components (in this case, the LEDs). The paths are usually copper while the base is flexible to integrate it into the canvas. This screen integrated in the canvas allows dynamic advertising to be included during the sporting event.

The grid with electric light integrated in the mesh comprises the following

elements:

•

A mesh

•

An interface or wireless wifi / bluetooth controller

• A feeding system

• A phone / tablet application for lighting control and

for remote data insertion

Which is characterized by incorporating LEDs or micro LEDs in its own

mesh.

In a particular embodiment, the mesh is made of high polypropylene.

toughness without knots.

In a particular embodiment, the LEDs or micro LEDs are coated with siliconized transparent cable, with high resistance coverage to the

blows and allowing the network to be waterproof.

In a particular embodiment, the mesh is bordered on at least the upper part with a band that incorporates a flexible LED display. This band can cover or surround the mesh at all or some of its edges.

In a particular embodiment, the mesh incorporates optical fiber where the micro LEDs (light emitting diodes) are embedded, protected by cable

transparent silicone.

In a particular embodiment, the feeding system may be a

Universal transformer with input voltage: 110-240V AC, 50-60Hz 1A max; Voltage output of 12V, 15V, 16V, 18V, 19V, 20V, 22V at 24V DC 3.75 maximum and 100W output power. The transformer goes

connected to a power cable with plug. Through this invention, the invention can be applied in sports where nets are required, whether on the pitch or as protection. It is intended for use

regulation in various sports of split court or sports where goalkeepers are used (Football, Soccer 7, handball, badminton, tennis, basketball, hockey, paddle tennis, water polo, ping-pong, pitching in

athletics, etc.), or for multipurpose functions (advertising use or protection, in sports such as skiing, to indicate the danger of certain tracks, or in the workplace, to limit access to certain spaces).

The technical characteristics of the material being polypropylene are the

following:

•

Recyclable and one hundred percent inert, since it does not produce bacteria.

•

Specific gravity 0.91 kg / m ', less than water.

• Antiallergic and very resistant to dirt being a non-absorbent fiber, which gives maximum protection against stains.

• Does not accumulate static electricity.

• High resistance to abrasion.

• High protection against UVA rays (loss of energy lower than the poly amide networks suffer).

• Maintains its tenacity in acidic or alkaline environments.

•

Very low water absorption (0.05%).

•

Good thermal insulator.

•

Ease of assembly

•

It is not necessary to stabilize dimensionally by

thermosetting of knots. By not presenting nodes, there is no possibility that the nodes move.

• It can be made in several colors.

•

•

Its design allows to respond to the needs of split-field sports, specifically beach volleyball and track volleyball.

•

The incorporation of the lighting system in the network allows to increase the information in situ to the players and the public of the event, by including basic data related to the progress of the match, such as scoring, remaining time, team name, incidents, etc. .

•

The illuminated net and the canvas band or bands that can cover or surround all or some of the edges, allow the inclusion of visual advertising during the sporting event.

Therefore, the present invention allows to overcome drawbacks in the aspects listed below:

•

The impossibility of placing a video marker in an area visible to the public, in the stands of the premises installed on the beach to hold beach volleyball matches.

•

The impossibility of introducing dynamic advertising in existing networks in the market today.
