The present invention relates generally to a screen or louvre for diffusing the light emitted from one or more sources and finds particular but by no means exclusive utility as a means for diffusing the light cast by fluorescent lamps.
In the past, the conventional light diffusion louvre has been made by assembling a number of separate slats together so as to define some sort of network. The slats may be made of sheet metal, wood, or plastic material and their spacing determines the cut-01f characteristic of the louvre. By this is meant the angle between the horizontal and the region in which light begins to radiate directly through the openings in the louvre. Because of the opaqueness of the material out of which they may be constructed, or because of the separate slat mode of construction, conventional louvres have notoriously poor light transmission properties and substantially impair the lighting efiiciency of the lamp or lamps with which they may be associated. In addition, screens or louvres constructed in a conventional manner lack structural rigidity and become very unwieldy when made in large sizes.
One object of the invention is to provide a novel light diffusion screen or louvre of the general character set forth which is relatively rigid structurally yet light in weight and exceptionally high in light transmission efiiciency.
A further object is to design a screen or louvre of the above character which is made up in integral sections or grids assembled by simple means.
Another object is to provide a screen of the foregoing type which will be susceptible of mounting in a marginal supporting frame with the grids assembled in end-to-end relation there- An additional object is to enhance the light conductive efllciency of the novel screen by making the same of translucent or light conductive plastic material.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent as the following detailed description proceeds, taken in the light of the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. l is a top plan view of an illustrative light difi'usion louvre embodying the present invention.
Fig. 2 is an'enlarged fragmentary view detailing theleft-hand portion of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken in the plane of the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a group perspective view showing sec- 7 Claims. (01. 189-182),
tions of the screen and frame in position preparatory to assembly.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken in the plane of the line 5-5 of Fig; '2. I
While the invention is susceptible of various modifications and alternative constructions, a preferred embodiment has been shown in the drawings and will be described below in considerable detail. It should be understood, however. that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications and alternative constructions falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
Referring more specifically to the drawing,
there is shown an illustrative light diffusionlouvre or screen 9 comprising a plurality of individual translucent grids or sections [0, I I, I2 and I3 assembled together in end-to-end relation to define a continuous network. Each individual one of the grids constitutes an integral and substantially rigid structure comprising a plurality of intersecting ribs or bars I4 all lying generally perpendicular to the plane of the grid and having substantially uniform width and thickness, their exposed edges defining opposed outer faces on the grid and which are virtually identical. This makes the grid invertible, permitting it to be installed in the screen with either face visible frombelow and no perceptible difference between the faces being apparent to an observer standing below the screen. In the instant case, the ribs [4 may be arranged in two mutually perpendicular sets defining a series of uniformly.spaced'rectangular or square interstices. Preferably, the sections or grids are made of dimensionally stable thermoplastic material, such as polystyrene which, although translucent, possesses excellent light transmitting properties. While provision is made for rigidly securing a plurality of the grids or sections together in abutting'relation to make the louvre a sound, unitary structural entity, it might on occasion be found desirable to provide the louvre with av relatively light margnial supporting frame l5 which, in the present instance, may be made of channel stock I6 having inturned flanges l1, and which frame, when the parts are assemb led,. is adapted to snugly embrace the ends of one: set of ribs of each grid to confine said grids together in a rigid self-supporting screen struc- To .providelhighdight conductive eflioiency in:
the louvre, each grid is molded as a seamless integral unit and is so constructed that it can be assembled into the louvre with a concealed joint between itself and its neighbor, such joint possessing a light transmission efficiency substantially commensurate with that of other comparable regions in the louvre. In furtherance of such objective, one. or more .of'the end ribs of each grid areof fractional width compared to the intermediate ribs of the grid, such width in the present instance being approximately half the Width of the intermediate ribs.
Thus as an incident to assembly of two or more grids in I up or subjected to vibration.
end-to-end relation, theinjadjacentfractional width ribs overlap edgewise' and complement each other so as to define a joint ribhaving substantially the same thickness; width; and length as the intermediate ribs in either of the grids. Referring more specifically to Fig. 4-, it will be perceived that the mating rib 20 of one of the grids extends from the top surface of such: grid to a point only halfwaydown; and the companion mating rib ,21 is similarly constituted from the bottom toward the top of the adjacent grid. Thus, when the grids l0, H are united, the rib 20 overlies the rib 2i, forming a lap-joint between such grids. In order to; rigidly secure adjacent grids in the foregoing assembledrelation, eachof the, fractional width end ribs'is fashioned with a plurality of thickened portions definingintegral enlargements 2'2srspaced so that when the gridsare assembled in; the manner described the enlargements will register with eachother and cooperatewith: appropriate fastening means, the enlargements 22 happen: to" be of block-like form and have central bores 23" running therethroughfor; the receipt-of a suitable fastening pin or bolt;
In instances wheretheiframeifi is provided;
common meansis alsoprovided to's'ecur'ethe grid sections to each other and to the frame. As in.
