Reflective decorative panel

 Application area

The utility model relates to the field of design, advertising and construction, namely, image display devices for the reflection of light radiation used in the manufacture of a wide range of design work, advertising signs, billboards, panels, etc.

The level of technology.

A device is known “Decorative panel" (patent US40179920) [1], designed to transmit color and reflection of light radiation and made in the form of a movable reflective disk mounted cantilever on the base. The thick sheet of the base 4 has grooves 2 intersecting at right angles, forming numerous individual squares 1 on the surface. The base 4 has holes 3 for mounting; and cylindrical supports 9 for mounting the movable disk, mounted on the base 4, the support 9 has an upper part 8.

The disks are held in the installation position on the base 4 on the rivets 13 inserted in the cylindrical supports 9 and fixed on the base 4..

 The base 4 and supports 9 are molded from impact-resistant polystyrene in one piece.

The movable disk 11 consists of a colored or transparent polycarbonate composition containing polymethyl methacrylate. A background or part of the image is applied to the movable reflective disk 11, while the reflective disks 11 themselves are placed on a common base fixed to a flat surface. Hesitating on the fasteners, reflective discs create a certain visual effect. Oscillations of the discs themselves occur due to external influences - wind, vibrations, etc.

The disadvantage of this device is that between the reflecting discs with the image fragments applied to them, the surface of the base is visible, while the image is perceived as “broken” into separate fragments, which reduces the visual effect and image quality on the panel.

The prior art also knows a device for presenting moving images according to Eurasian patent No. 005385 [2], including one common base on which there are many cantilever elements, on the free end of each of which is fixed a flat rigid plate with the possibility of free oscillatory or reciprocating movement relative to the attachment point of this plate due to external influences on its surface. The original image, which is supposed to be demonstrated, is discretized and presented in the form of a mosaic image. Fragments of the full image are deposited on the surface of each plate, with each plate carrying a separate image fragment.

On a general basis, these carriers of image fragments are arranged in such a way that they form, according to the author, an “integral” image.

The indicated technical solution has the same drawbacks as the previous analogue - the decorative panel [1], and namely, it does not allow to obtain a high-quality, namely “holistic” image without breaks, which reduces which reduces the visual effect and image quality on the surface of the device. The disadvantage is that there is no image in the gaps between the plates with image fragments applied to them, and the surface of the base is visible, while the image is not perceived as “integral”, as declared by the author, but “broken” into separate fragments (see figure 1 illustrating patent No. 005385).

In this regard, the greatest visual effect is achieved in the manufacture of a large-sized working base. At close range or for images of small sizes, such a performance degrades the image quality, it looks "discrete".

The displayed images are not essentially movable, because they do not change their position or the relative position of the elements, image details. Moving in the form of oscillations of individual carriers can occur only relative to the point of attachment. According to the description, "each medium of an image fragment has an arbitrary shape, which does not lead to image changes." The dynamic effect according to the description consists in the effect of air flows on the individual reflective surfaces of the displayed image, "which creates the feeling of additional volume."

The media of the image fragment of the known device is made rigid, i.e. not flexible (see Wiktionary. Hard 1.hard, poorly amenable to deformation or separation.

See Dmitriev’s Dictionary 3. Something inflexible, inelastic, can be called rigid.),

 however, stiffness does not affect the image perception quality.

A device for presenting moving images according to the patent for utility model of the Russian Federation No. 99229 [3], including one common basis for representing images, on which there are many cantilever elements, on the free end of each of which is fixed a flat hard drive with the possibility of free oscillatory or reciprocating translational movement, on the surface of each of the discs are fragments of a holistic image, and each disc is a carrier of a single fragment of the image, and on a common basis ve media image pieces are arranged so that they form, according to the author of "holistic" picture.

The specified technical solution [3] has the same drawbacks as the previous analogue - a device for presenting moving images [2]: there is no image in the gaps between the disk carriers of image fragments, and gaps in the image are visible, while the image is not perceived as “integral” , as stated by the author, but “broken” into separate fragments (see figure 1, illustrating the patent No. 99229), which does not give high-quality perception of a holistic image on the surface of the device, which reduces which reduces the visual effect and image quality on the surface of the device. In addition, in the known device, discs are used as carriers of image fragments (a disk is flat round; an object having the appearance of a thin flat one. See Wiktionary), which cover the common surface only at the touching points at the ends of the diameters, the rest of the surface of the base remains visible. In this regard, the greatest effect is achieved in the manufacture of a large-sized working base. At close range or for images of small sizes, such a performance degrades the image quality, it looks "discrete".

The disk carrier of the image fragment of the known device is rigid, however, the rigidity does not affect the image perception quality.

  As well as the analogue [2], the displayed images are not essentially mobile, since they do not change their position or relative position of the elements, image details. Moving in the form of oscillations of individual carriers can occur only relative to the point of attachment. According to the description, "each medium of an image fragment has an arbitrary shape, which does not lead to image changes." The dynamic effect according to the description consists in the effect of air flows on the individual reflective surfaces of the displayed image, "which creates the feeling of additional volume."

The visual effect of the displayed image is achieved not only due to the oscillatory movement of the movable reflective elements, but largely due to the high reflectivity of the movable reflective element.

 A movable reflecting element made of metal, as in analogues [2], [3], with a fragment of the image on the surface can be painted in any color and have a matte, glossy or metallized surface, a holographic image can be applied to this surface. However, the mirror coating, which has the highest reflective properties compared to the glossy or metallized surface of a metal movable element, is not provided for analogues [2], [3].

According to the set of essential features, the device according to the Eurasian patent No. 005385 [2] is accepted as the closest analogue.

The technical result is to increase the image quality of a reflective decorative panel by increasing the visual effect.

Implementation of a utility model.

The inventive reflective decorative panel (Figure 1) consists of a common base 1 made of sheet material, which can be used aluminum, aluminum composite, PVC, acrylic glass, etc. The base can have either a rectangular shape, or another geometric or complex shape depending on the design of the panel (Fig. 11 a, b, c). Common base 1 has a surface for representing images. The surface of the base contains a layer 2 with the displayed image (Fig.1,2,3). Layer 2 with the image can be made in the form of a self-adhesive film with a printed image. Layer 2 with the image can be made of retroreflective films used for traffic signs with high intensity retroreflectivity. This makes it possible to obtain a glow effect in the dark, when the headlights of passing cars shine on the product.

The image layer 2 can be made with inks applied to the base 1, for example, by screen printing.

The image applied to the base 1 may be a monochrome or polychrome, animated or naturalistic photo image.

 The image can be applied both to the entire surface (Fig. 3), and to its separate area (Fig. 6), where it is necessary to isolate a part of the image.

On top of the layer 2 with the image on the surface of the base 1 are fixed cantilever elements 4 with movable reflective elements 3 (Fig.9).

 On the surface of each of the movable retroreflective elements 3, image fragments are applied (Fig. 4), i.e. each movable reflective element 3 is a carrier of a separate image fragment. Cantilever elements 4 with movable reflecting elements 3 - carriers of image fragments are arranged in such a way that they repeat the image applied to the base 1 (figure 5). Moreover, the gaps between the reflecting elements 2 do not interrupt the image itself, do not violate its integrity, because the image layer covers the surface of the base, and there are no blank areas in the image (Fig. 5).

Such a constructive solution allows to improve the quality of the presented image on the panel, in comparison with the prototype, since the image on the basis can be made with any high resolution, and the movable elements-carriers of image fragments with a mirror surface or notches contribute to enhancing the perception of the image.

For the same reason, it is not necessary to manufacture a large working base, as the prototype suggests. The reflective decorative panel according to the claimed utility model can be small, for example, for installation in a summer cafe, or for decorating streets, or decorating the lobby, etc. A flat base can be used in various types of outdoor advertising: signs, individual letters, signs, brackets, custom designs.

The movable reflective element POE 3 is made of a thin sheet (120-250 mm) of plastic by the method of cutting or plotter, or laser cutting. Equipped with a hole 5 for putting on the cantilever element 4 (Fig.7).

As the material for POE, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polypropylene (PP) can be used, which have low density, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance. These materials, which have good strength, but not stiffness (unlike the prototype) are elastic and flexible in their properties, when they are deformed, they return to their original state and do not change the shape of the product. In addition, it is a very light material, which increases the mobility of the POE. The prototype POE made of metal is much heavier, and the lighter the material of which the POE is made, the more active its movement, therefore, light reflection, which improves the image quality as a whole.

 The front surface of the POE may have a decorative metallized coating 6, which can be applied by spraying or laminated with foil. Layer 6 is made with a notch 7, due to which the reflectivity of the elements is significantly increased due to the effect of additional light refraction (for example, as with reflective elements of scattering reflectors) (Fig. 8a), which improves the image quality.

 POE 3 can be made with a double-sided metallized layer and a notch both on the front and on the back side (Fig. 8b).

The surface of the POE 3 may have a mirror layer having a high reflectivity.

A full-color or holographic image can be applied to the surface of POE 3.

POE 3 can be made in the form of a disk (circle) (Fig.7a), a rectangle (Fig.7b) or a polygon (Fig.7c). The view of the panel with POE 3 in the form of disks is shown in FIG. 10a, in the form of rectangles, in FIG. 10b, in the form of polygons - in FIG. 10 c. POE 3 can have both a flat (Fig. 1) and convex shape (Fig.2). The convex shape increases the angle of reflection in the horizontal plane, and therefore improves the quality of the image.

Cantilever elements can have a variety of shapes. They can be made, for example, in the form of monolithic rods of variable longitudinal section, with a thickened conical base turning into a tapering working section on which the POE 3 is placed. A hat 9 is made on the side of the free end of the rod 8 of the cantilever element 4, which serves to hold the POE 3 from falling (Fig.9).

The cantilever elements are solid cast by plastic molding, such as impact-resistant polystyrene, acrylic glass, monolithic polycarbonate. This embodiment increases the strength and reliability of the structure due to the absence of plug-in elements, weakening the mount under strong mechanical stresses, vibrations. The cantilever elements 4 (Fig. 9) are fixed to the base 1 at the attachment points, with the step necessary to create a given visual effect. Attachments can be made either in the form of landing holes, or cantilever elements are fixed on the basis of self-tapping screws (not shown).

POE 3 contains a round hole 5 for putting on the working section of the rod 8. The center of the hole 5 is located on the vertical axis of symmetry of the POE 3, closer to the upper edge (Fig. 7.9) and is made with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the cap 9 of the rod 8.

 Examples of specific performance.

Example 1. Reflective decorative panel containing a rectangular base 1, on which movable reflective elements (POE) are cantilever 3. Base 1, made by cutting from sheet material, which is used as aluminum. The surface of the base contains a layer 2 with a displayed image. Layer 2 with the image is made in the form of a self-adhesive retroreflective film, with an image printed on it on the entire surface of the base 1. The image is made polychrome (multicolor). On top of the layer 2 with the image on the surface of the base 1, cantilever elements 4 are fixed with flat movable reflective elements (POE) 3 made of sheet PET. The front surface of the POE has a metallized layer 6. On the surface of each of the movable reflecting elements 3 are applied image fragments, i.e. each movable reflective element is a carrier of a separate image fragment. Cantilever elements 4 with movable reflecting elements 3 - carriers of image fragments are arranged in such a way that they repeat the image applied to the base 1. At the same time, the gaps between the reflecting elements 2 do not interrupt the image itself, do not violate its integrity, because the image layer covers the base surface, and there are no blank areas in the image.

 Example 2. Reflective decorative panel is made similar to example 1, but the base 1 is made of sheet PVC injection molded.

Example 3. Reflective decorative panel is made analogously to example 1, but the layer 2 with the image is made of inks applied to the base 1 by screen printing.

Example 4. Reflective decorative panel is made similar to example 1, but layer 2 with a photo image is applied on a separate section of the panel, occupying 30% of the surface, the remaining part of the panel - 70% of the surface serves as a red background. To do this, cover the base with a red mirror film. A photo image is glued onto the site on a self-adhesive film. The surface of all POEs is coated with a red mirror film. Print fragments of the image on those POEs that are placed on top of the image based on where it is required. A high quality visual effect is obtained due to a clean, pristine red mirror background.

Example 4. Reflective decorative panel is made similar to example 1, but the coating POE is made mirror. The mirror layer has a high reflectivity.

To obtain a mirror effect, a colorful one-color paint coating is applied to a sheet of transparent PET for metallization. The next step is to apply a mirror coating over the paint. This can be vacuum metallization of aluminum, or cold foil stamping. A protective layer is then applied to prevent oxidation, for example, with varnish. All coatings are applied on the reverse side. PET has its own gloss, this increases the gloss of POE.

Example 5. Reflective decorative panel is made similar to example 1, but the POE is laminated with a layer of 6 foil.

Example 6. Reflective decorative panel is made similar to example 5, but the layer 6 is made with a notch 7, due to which the reflectivity of the elements is significantly increased due to the effect of additional light refraction, which improves the image quality.

Example 6. Reflective decorative panel is made similar to example 1, but POE 3 is made with a double-sided metallized layer and a notch both on the front and on the back side.

Work.

The device operates as follows.

On a common base 1 of the panel, layer 2 is applied with the image proposed for demonstration. Markup is made for installation of cantilever elements 4 with movable reflecting elements 3 made of a thin sheet plate. On the basis of 1, cantilever elements 4 are fixed at the attachment points (Fig. 9) with the step necessary to create a given visual effect.

The required decorative layer or layers are applied on the surface of POE 3 to create a reflective effect. Moving reflective elements 3 with fragments of an image or color deposited on them are put on portions of the rods 8 according to the design project. Each POE 3 is a carrier of a separate image fragment. On a common basis, cantilever elements 4 with movable reflecting elements 3 - carriers of image fragments are arranged in such a way that they repeat the image applied to the base 1. The image can be applied both to the entire surface and to its separate area where it is necessary to select a part of the image. Moreover, the gaps between the reflecting elements 3 do not interrupt the image itself, do not violate its integrity, because the image layer covers the base surface, and there are no blank areas in the image.

If it is necessary to present a more detailed picture, a photo image is applied to the base.

POE 3 hang freely on cantilever elements, caps 9 of rods 8 prevent them from falling.

The base with placed cantilever elements and POE is installed according to the project by hanging or rigid fastening to the supporting structures.

Shiny, light, moving elements 3 freely oscillate due to the smooth movement of air, vibration, during which light is reflected in all directions, creating a high-quality visual effect. The presented image looks complete, without gaps and gaps due to the application of the image on the base; the visual effect is also enhanced by making the POE lighter (plastic), as well as due to the effect of additional refraction of light in the notches on the sides of the POE or due to the high reflectivity of the mirror coating of the POE. The presence of a retroreflective film with a high retroreflectivity on the basis of a layer with a printed image also further improves the quality of the displayed image, giving a glow effect in the dark when the headlights of passing cars shine on the product.

Industrial applicability.

Reflective decorative panels will find application for outdoor street festive decorations, decorations and equipment for theaters, cinema or television, volume objects and structures for games, entertainment and public events, equipment for stadiums, racecourses, racetracks, shooting galleries and other sports facilities, signboards, demonstration stands carriers of advertising information and other decorative products of almost any given form, mainly for external purposes, for example, for the festive decoration of buildings, Adey and streets.

The inventive design solution allows to improve the quality of the presented image on the panel, in comparison with the prototype, since the image on the basis can be made with any high resolution, and light moving elements - carriers of image fragments contribute to enhancing the perception of the image. It is not necessary to manufacture a large working base, as the prototype suggests. Reflective decorative panel according to the claimed utility model may be small. A flat base can be used in various types of outdoor advertising: signs, individual letters, pointers, brackets, custom designs.
