Definitions

  • the invention relates to an effect decoration, comprising a frame, which, forming a cavity, fixes at least two transparent or partially transparent panes, the cavity being filled with a liquid and decorative immersion bodies located in the liquid, and a device for supplying air to the Cavity according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an object of the invention to provide an effect decoration comprising a frame, which fixes a cavity, forming at least two transparent or partially transparent panes, and the cavity being filled with a liquid, which forms an essentially closed system and which directly can be integrated into a building or which itself can be used as such.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to start from a fixed frame, which is preferably designed as a metallic or plastic profile.
  • the panes are tightly bonded to the outside of the frame in a material and / or non-positive manner.
  • Air outlet openings to the interior of the cavity are provided on the underside of the frame, an expansion space preferably being formed on the top of the frame. Between the expansion space and the air outlet openings, a controllable pressure generating device is arranged within the frame, which is connected both to the expansion space and to the air outlet openings.
  • the frame itself is essentially sealed from the ambient atmosphere.
  • a pressure generating device such as a diaphragm pump
  • a flow through the liquid, which is in the cavity is reached, whereby rising air bubbles set decorative immersion bodies in motion in a manner known per se.
  • the flat effect decoration designed in this way can be used directly as a window, window insert or door insert, since the transparency and the mechanical construction on the one hand guarantee the function of a window, but on the other hand a particularly effective decoration effect occurs.
  • one or more air hoses which have a plurality of bores or openings for the air outlet, are arranged within the frame, starting from the top and the pressure generating device toward the bottom.
  • chambers provided in the hollow profile serve at least to accommodate the pressure generating device and an expansion space is formed in or by one of the chambers.
  • illuminants can be arranged in the profile, in which case the profile is at least partially transparent.
  • the area spanned by the frame can in principle be of any design. However, circular, square or rectangular frame constructions are preferably used, which correspond to the usual windows or window inserts, but also door glazings.
  • the frame can be part of a window or a door or e.g. a complete window sash e.g. form a bathroom window.
  • the frame material is primed on the pane contact side and the panes are glued over the entire surface, so that the required tightness and mechanical strength are obtained.
  • a control valve is provided, which is also installed as a functional element in the frame or integrated there.
  • the discs used preferably consist of a
  • the immersion bodies can be plastic replicas of animals, plants, but also logos or the like, these being set in motion by the air bubbles within the liquid.
  • the frame can have an outer profile, recesses or openings being provided on the outer profile for fastening the frame, or the profile itself has grooves for a positive connection (tongue and groove).
  • the liquid taken up in the cavity can be distilled water, to which chemical additives have been added to prevent algae formation and to disinfect.
  • alternative non-flammable liquids are also preferred and there is the possibility of coloring the liquid yourself.

  • the air hose 4 is connected to a diaphragm pump 5, which provides compressed air in a metered manner via a control valve 7.
  • the compressed air is drawn off in an expansion area or expansion vessel 6, an essentially closed circuit (see FIG. 2) being established.
  • 1 chambers can be provided in the aluminum profile for receiving the pressure generating device mentioned and for forming the expansion space 6.

  • a transformer (not shown) and / or a control circuit for operating the pressure generating device can also be integrated in the upper region of the profile. It is also possible to arrange lamps, in particular low-voltage lamps, in the profile. Such lamps can also be mounted on the outside via corresponding fastening devices.

  • the rising air bubbles or the resulting air bubble flow results in movement of the immersion bodies with a corresponding decorative effect. This effect can be enhanced by adding reflective particles.
  • An outer profile of the frame can have fastening points or fastening grooves in order to carry external illuminants or else to connect the frame and thus the effect decoration to other components.
  • the effect decoration can be used independently without the need to continuously refill the liquid.
  • the liquid In the case of distilled water, the liquid itself has added agents for preventing algae formation or for disinfection purposes.

It is with the above Embodiment assumed to integrate the pressure generating device in the frame, but in principle there is also the possibility to take care of an external compressed air supply.
  • the effect decoration can also be used as a room divider or in the use of a multi-pane glass arrangement as a window outdoors. When using safety glass, it is also conceivable to use it as a particularly attractive underwater glazing for swimming pools, for example.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une décoration à effet, qui comprend un châssis qui bloque au moins deux vitres transparentes ou partiellement transparentes, formant une cavité, ladite cavité étant remplie d'un liquide dans lequel peuvent se trouver des corps décoratifs immergés, ainsi qu'un dispositif servant à amener de l'air comprimé dans ladite cavité. Selon l'invention, le châssis se présente sous la forme d'un profilé de métal ou de matière plastique, les vitres étant reliées de façon étanche aux côtés extérieurs du châssis, par liaison de matière et/ou de force. En outre, des ouvertures de sortie d'air se trouvent sur le côté inférieur du châssis. De préférence, une chambre d'expansion est placée sur le côté supérieur du châssis. Un dispositif de génération de pression commandé peut être placé entre la chambre d'expansion et les ouvertures d'entrée d'air, à l'intérieur du profilé constituant le châssis, ce dispositif étant en communication fluidique tant avec la chambre d'expansion qu'avec les ouvertures de sortie d'air.
