Abstract

Window assembly for screening and lighting inner rooms. The object of the invention is on the one hand to sun-screen inner rooms and on the other hand to light inner rooms with an optimum light intensity. The light intensity may be regulated by means of sensors and a manual control, thus improving the physical and psychological well-being of the human being. The coloured lamps (7, 8) form a colour spectrum. The coloured lamps (8) protect against exposure to outer radiation. The coloured lamps (7) light the inner room. The light rays from the coloured lamps (7) hit the curved flat element (5) and are reflected into the inner room. In figure 2 is illustrated another solution that may be useful for very large surface windows. The design is similar to that in figure 1 but contains an additional cavity filled with a liquid (phosphorescent or the like). Electric pulses cause said liquid to shine at regular intervals. This window assembly offers a compact system to consumers, useful for inner rooms of dwelling and commercial buildings, cars, trains, aeroplanes, greenhouses, indoor gardens, and in future sun-screening devices.

Description

Fensterelement zur Abschirmung und Erhellung von InnenräumenWindow element for shielding and illuminating interiors
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fensterelement zur Abschirmung und Erhellung der Innenräume von Gebäuden, Fahrzeugen und dgl. über die Fensteröf nung, wobei in einen in die Fensteröffnung eingesetzten Rahmen mindestens eine durchsichtige Fensterfläche dichtend eingebracht ist.The invention relates to a window element for shielding and illuminating the interiors of buildings, vehicles and the like. Via the window opening, at least one transparent window surface being sealingly introduced into a frame inserted into the window opening.
Um den Lichteinfall in einen Raum zu beeinflussen oder eine Sichtabschirmuπg des Innenraumes durch dieIn order to influence the incidence of light in a room or a visual shielding of the interior through the
Fensterflä he vorzunehmen, werden undurchsichtige Vorhänge oder Gardienen, feste oder verstellbare Blenden und schließlich auch auf verschiedene Weise präparierte Glasscheiben verwendet. Mit derartigen Glasscheiben wird beispielsweise das von außen einfallende Licht polarisiert und damit der Lichteinfall teilweise oder vollständig ausgeschlossen, oder die Reflexion, der Lichtdurchlaß und die Durchsichtigkeit der Glasflachen wird durch aufgebrachte Schichten entsprechend beeinflußt.To make window surfaces, opaque curtains or curtains, fixed or adjustable shutters and finally also glass panes prepared in various ways are used. With such glass panes, for example, the light incident from the outside is polarized and thus the incidence of light is partially or completely ruled out, or the reflection, the light transmission and the transparency of the glass surfaces are influenced accordingly by the applied layers.
ERSATZBLAH (REGEL 26) Für eine bloße Sichtabschirmung des Innenraums sind aber derartige Maßnahmen zu aufwendig. Andererseits zerschneiden Sonnenblenden, Jalousien und dgl. das Blickfeld nach außen, oder die Durchsicht von innen wird, wie bei Vorhangen, vollständig abgedeckt.ERSATZBLAH (RULE 26) Such measures are too expensive for a mere visual shielding of the interior. On the other hand, sun visors, blinds and the like cut the field of view outwards, or the view from the inside, as with curtains, is completely covered.
Schließlich wird auch der Lichteinfall, sofern er für die Ausleuchtung eines Raums benotigt wird, durch Vorhange, Gardienen oder Jalousien erheblich vermindert, wenn diese nicht zur Seite geschoben werden. Gerade bei öffentlichen Gebäuden, Geschäftshäusern, Räumen mit großen Fensterflachen oder bei Fahrzeugen ist der technische Aufwand für solche Vorrichtungen hoch. Sie sind schwierig zu handhaben und werden daher oft als störend empfunden.Finally, the incidence of light, if it is needed to illuminate a room, is considerably reduced by curtains, curtains or blinds if they are not pushed aside. Especially in public buildings, commercial buildings, rooms with large window areas or in vehicles, the technical effort for such devices is high. They are difficult to handle and are therefore often seen as annoying.
Darüber hinaus ist es erforderlich, Innenraume von Gebäuden, Fahrzeugen und dgl. durch kunstliches Licht zu erhellen, sofern bei Dunkelheit oder starker Abschirmung der Fensterflache nach außen mit nur ungenügendem Lichteinfall in den Raum zu rechnen ist. 2u diesem Zweck werden in dem Innenraum entsprechende Leuchten angebracht, was letztlich wieder mit einem erheblichen Installationsaufwand verbunden ist.In addition, it is necessary to illuminate the interior of buildings, vehicles and the like with artificial light, provided that in the dark or strong shielding of the window surface to the outside with insufficient light can be expected in the room. For this purpose, appropriate lights are installed in the interior, which is ultimately associated with a considerable installation effort.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Fensterelement zu entwickeln, das einerseits eine Blickabschirmung von außen nach innen gewährleistet und gleichzeitig den Innenraum nicht verdunkelt bzw. sogar seiner Beleuchtung dient.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a window element which, on the one hand, ensures a screen from outside to inside and at the same time does not darken the interior or even serves to illuminate it.

Ein derartiges Fensterelement kann mit einfachen Mitteln hergestellt werden. Es ist hinsichtlich Wartung, Reparatur und Handhabung anwenderfreundlich aufgebaut und erlaubt eine Vielzahl von Anwenduπgsmoglichkeiten , beispielsweise für Wohn- und Bürogebäude oder sonstige öffentliche Bauten, mit Fenstern ausgerüstete Verkehrsmittel, Wintergarten oder Gewächshäuser. Die zur Raumerhellung über die gewölbte Fensterflache verwendeten Leuchten können vielfach ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise als Leuchtstoffröhren oder als Punktlampen. Sie können von einer Seite oder von zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten oder von allen Seiten des Rahmens auf das gewölbte Flachenelement gerichtet sein. Es können einzelne oder eine Mehrzahl Lichtquellen auf das gewölbte Flachenelement strahlen. Das Einschalten der Leuchten kann von Hand oder automatisch - entsprechend der Helligkeit im Raum - über Sensoren erfolgen. Die Lichtquellen können darüber hinaus auch zur Abstrahlung farbigen Lichts ausgebildet sein.To create a light reflection surface which, on the one hand, creates indirect, large-area room lighting from the window surface, which in normal daylight also corresponds to the natural light source in the room, and on the other hand results in a visual shield towards the interior at the created reflection level.

In dem Raum zwischen der inneren Fensterglasflache 3 und dem gewölbten Flachenelement 5 sind an den zueinanderweisenden Innenflachen der waagerechten Rahmenteile 4a Lichtschienen mit auf diese aufgeschobenen Leuchten 7 befestigt. Der Lichtstrahl der Leuchten 7 ist in spitzem Winkel auf die nach außen gewölbte Seite des als Glasscheibe ausgebildeten Flachenelements 5 gerichtet. Das auf die konvex gewölbte Glasoberflache des Flachenelements 5 abgestrahlte Licht S der Leuchten 7 wird aufgrund der Spiegelwirkung von dieser Flache reflektiert und in Form reflektierter Strahlen Sr in den Inneπraum (I) abgestrahlt. Dadurch wird zum einen eine indirekte kunstliche Beleuchtung des Innenraums vom Fenster her - also entsprechend dem normalen Tageslichteinfall - bewirkt, und andererseits erfolgt durch die so gebildete Spiegelfläche eine Sichtabschirmung von außen nach innen. Die Zuschaltung der Leuchten 7 wird entsprechend dem Lichtbedarf im Raum bzw. der Helligkeit im Freien entweder von Hand oder automatisch über Sensoren vorgenommen.

Zur Verstärkung der Sichtabschirmwirkung ist es, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, weiterhin möglich, in dem Raum zwischen der äußeren Fensterglasflache 2 und der konkav gewölbten Seite des durchsichtigen Flachenelements 5 zusatzlich Farbtoπungsleuchten 8 anzuordnen. Diese Farbtonungsleuchten können auch unabhängig von den zur Raumbeleuchtung dienenden Leuchten 7 geschaltet werden, so daß auch in diesem Fall eine Sichtabschirmung von außen gewahrleistet ist. Das Licht der Farbtonungsleuchten 8 wird nicht in den Innenraum abgestrahlt. Selbst erständlich kann auch für die Farbtonungsleuchten 8 - wie bei den Leuchten 7 - Licht in verschiedenen Farben verwendet werden.To increase the visual shielding effect, it is also possible, as shown in FIG. 1, to additionally arrange color-tinting lights 8 in the space between the outer window glass surface 2 and the concavely curved side of the transparent surface element 5. These tinting lights can also be switched independently of the lights 7 used for room lighting, so that in this case too, visual shielding from the outside is ensured. The light from the color toning lights 8 is not emitted into the interior. It goes without saying that light in different colors can also be used for the color toning lamps 8 - as with the lamps 7.
Fig. 2 zeigt eine weitere Ausfuhrungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. Das Fensterelement 1 ist dabei wie in Fig. 1 beschrieben aufgebaut. Zusätzlich ist jedoch in dem zwischen der konkaven Seite des durchsichtigen, gewölbten Flachenelements 5 und den Farbtonungsleuchten 8 verbleibenden Raum ein die gesamte Flache zwischen den Rahmenteilen 4a, 4b abdeckender Hohlkörper 6 aus durchsichtigem Material angeordnet. Der Hohlkörper 6 ist mit einem lichtabsorbierenden, farbigen Medium 10 gefüllt. Außerdem sind an einer oder mehreren Stirnseiten des Hohlkörpers 6 Abschirmleuchten 10 angebracht, deren Lichtstrahl vorzugsweise direkt auf das Medium 10 gerichtet ist. Der Hohlkörper 6 mit dem darin befindlichen Medium dient in erster Linie der Abschirmung von Sonnenstrahlen. Des weiteren bewirkt er eine Sichtabschirmung, und schließlich können auch besondere Färb- oder Lichteffekte erzeilt werden. Beispielsweise kann das Medium 10 eine phosphoreszierende,2 shows a further embodiment of the present invention. The window element 1 is constructed as described in FIG. 1. In addition, however, in the space remaining between the concave side of the transparent, curved flat element 5 and the color-tinting lamps 8, a hollow body 6 made of transparent material covering the entire area between the frame parts 4a, 4b is arranged. The hollow body 6 is filled with a light-absorbing, colored medium 10. In addition, 6 shielding lights 10 are attached to one or more end faces of the hollow body 6, the light beam of which is preferably directed directly onto the medium 10. The hollow body 6 with the medium therein serves primarily to shield the sun's rays. Furthermore, it provides a visual shield, and finally special coloring or light effects can also be achieved. For example, the medium 10 can be a phosphorescent,
ERSATZBLAπ(REGEL26) selbstleuchtende Flüssigkeit sein, deren Leuchtwirkung bei Dunkelheit durch die Abschirmleuchten 9 in Abständen immer aufs Neue erregbar ist. Andererseits kann das Medium 10 auch eine an eine (nicht dargestellte) Stromquelle angeschlossene elektrolytische Lösung sein, um durch Ionenumwandlung unter Einfluß des elektrischen Stroms Farbänderung oder Änderungen der Farbintensität entsprechend der Starke des zu absorbierenden Sonnenlichts zu erzielen.REPLACEMENT BLAπ (RULE 26) be self-illuminating liquid, the lighting effect of which can always be excited anew at intervals by the shielding lights 9. On the other hand, the medium 10 can also be an electrolytic solution connected to a power source (not shown) in order to achieve color changes or changes in the color intensity corresponding to the strength of the sunlight to be absorbed by ion conversion under the influence of the electric current.
Weitere Abwandlungen der beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele sind ohne weiteres denkbar. Beispielsweise ist es möglich, bei der anhand der Fig. erläuterten Ausführungsforni auf die Farbtönungsleuchten zu verzichten, und eine weitere Ausführungsvariante könnte auch darin bestehen, daß sowohl auf die Farbtönuπgsleuchten als auch auf den Hohlkörper mit den Abschirmleuchten verzichtet wird.Further modifications of the exemplary embodiments described are readily conceivable. For example, it is possible to dispense with the tinting lights in the embodiment explained with reference to the figure, and a further embodiment variant could also consist in dispensing with both the tinting lights and the hollow body with the shielding lights.
