Definitions
- the invention relates to a pedestal
- an optically very pleasing effect can be achieved by illuminating the liquid in the vessel. This also makes it easier to identify such a vessel in the dark
- DE 299 19 755 Ul proposes a coaster for a drinking vessel which has a lamp. This is how an illuminated coaster or an illuminated drinking glass is created.
- DE 299 18 185 Ul even suggests illuminating means in a bottle or a drinking glass integrate
- the inventive finding lies in particular in the fact that there are coasters in the catering trade for placing several glasses at once.These coasters are seldom handed over by the staff.Above all, these are rectangular and round glass trays or carriers or a special holder for, for example, eleven linearly arranged glasses, referred to as "one meter of beer" in restaurants in the Rhineland. Numerous other coasters or carrying devices for glasses or the like can also be considered.
- the invention turns away from the solutions known from the prior art, according to which A small, portable light source is provided individually for each glass
- coasters for a plurality of glasses are inevitably so large and bulky that unauthorized use of the coasters can be made considerably more difficult a large and bulky coaster can also be complex and relatively expensive, for example by integrating a light source
- the term “light-guiding vessel” should be widely understood. Above all, drinking glasses are addressed. However, the term is also intended to include plastic glasses, only partially made of glass and / or plastic, and other vessels. It is essential that the vessels are targeted by the base , aiming in, bundled and / or coupling in uncoupled light and so on can be directed or scattered again so that it can be seen by a person when the vessel is normally used, in particular from the side.
- a plurality of conventional Kolsch glasses can be illuminated on a base according to the invention.
- the base is made, for example, of a synthetic resin or Made of solid plastic and contains a circuit with an electrical light source. Thus, the electronics can be completely isolated from the outside.
- the base like the containers, should be translucent on at least part of the surface in order to be able to couple or couple light
- Kolsch glasses are filled with beer or a cocktail glass or long glass with any drink and placed on the invented base, they shine, for example with a light color or plain bright white, which, among other things, awakens the drinking stimuli of the consumer
- the pedestal according to the invention can be characterized in that it has one or preferably a plurality of switches.
- a single switch can in particular be switched on and off manually.
- the switch can also be switched in that at least one vessel is placed on the pedestal Beer ", the switch can be switched in particular by placing a certain number of glasses, for example one, every eleven or any predetermined number in between, on the base. This can be determined, for example, by a series connection of switching contacts or by the total weight of the vessels
- the invention also achieves a very striking effect if a central switch is provided on a handle of the base, for example a “meter of beer” tray, so that the light is switched on automatically when the base is carried.
- a switch on the handle can be connected in parallel be switched to further switches
- several switches can also be arranged in such a way that vessels switch individually on their presence or absence on certain vessel surfaces.
- light coupling surfaces associated with the vessel surfaces can be present for coupling light emitted by a light source into the vessels placed on the respectively assigned vessel surfaces
- the light source for example a power light emitting diode
- the switch switches depending on the weight and its sensitivity to the weight of an associated one n Glass is matched This can also be achieved very well, especially with the "meter of beer", because here the shape, weight and number of glasses are precisely specified
- the base has means for generating a light beam directed perpendicularly to a main direction of extension or a main plane.
- a direction of main extension has in particular the special support for the “meter of beer”.
- Other, essentially flat trays have a horizontal one when the tray is used Main plane
- the vessels are often symmetrical with the positioning of their axis of symmetry perpendicular to the main direction of extension or to the main plane if they are on the base.
- the proposed light directing or directional means allows the light to be coupled into the vessels as symmetrically as possible
- a pedestal according to the invention looks particularly pleasing and protects the light source particularly well against damage if the light source is arranged within the pedestal
- this has several vascular storage areas.
- the large size on the one hand provides security against theft.
- more space can be made available for the lighting device with one light distributor several light sources with light distributors or one or more light sources without light distributors can be accommodated relatively freely.
- large batteries, rechargeable batteries or other voltage or current sources can be provided in a large base, for example in a carrying handle, which is small , only a glass-bearing coaster is hardly possible. In this way, the costs for an energy source can be kept within limits, so that the base according to the invention remains affordable even as a mass product
- a light distributor it is proposed that it distribute the emitted light from a light source to a plurality of designated vial storage areas and decouple it there for coupling into the vessels from the base. As a result, several vessels can share the energy of a light source and thus advantageously part of the required energy be saved
- the pedestal has a rotationally symmetrical shape, in which the axial extent is smaller than the radial extent, the invention can advantageously be used.
- a shape is present, in particular, in the case of round trays Area and thus the peripheral vessel storage areas are only a relatively short distance away.
- all of the lines, electrical and optical, can be made short and inexpensive
- the base can advantageously have a length of at least two , better three, even better at least five or more vial storage areas
- a vessel shelf can have a diameter of about four to nine centimeters for a glass
- the base according to the invention has means for holding the vessels against an unlimited number
- Main level has This can be, in particular, round versions. Such versions are available for the "meter of beer” as well as for many round trays, some of them at the bottom
- Light coupling surface can therefore do without large excess surfaces connected or illuminated with the switch and instead can be tuned to the relatively precisely predetermined position. In particular, a good one can easily be achieved in this way
- a side effect of the invention is that a lettering can be illuminated or illuminated by the beverage manufacturer.
- An advertising effect is also possible here. This concerns, on the one hand, a possible lettering on the base and, on the other hand, a lettering on or in the respective glass
- the invention thus includes all lighting of drinks in glasses or plastic glasses by means of a base provided for a plurality of glasses or plastic glasses
- the advertising media such as the manufacturers of long drink, beer or cocktail drinks, which put lettering, logos etc. on glasses. Now it is even possible to bring the company logos closer to the consumer by targeted lighting of the drinks to make the sale of drinks, especially in bars, discotheques, VIP areas or events, more attractive as a whole.
- beverages when they shine or are illuminated, have a more attractive effect.
- the side effect of bringing advertising media to better use with illuminants also occurs a receptacle for hot ashes with a light source. Above all, here is a table ashtray
- Hot ash can easily cause damage to tables etc. or even injuries from burning.Therefore, it is particularly important to be able to dispose of hot ashes completely in designated, glow-resistant receptacles.For example, the ashes of cigarettes, cigars and similar smoking agents must be completely in ashtrays be knocked off If the ash even partially reaches the ashtray, this can easily lead to the described damage or injury. It is therefore particularly advantageous for a receptacle for hot ash if it has at least one illuminated partial surface
- a light-guiding body is coupled to the light source.
- the light-guiding body can in particular be a rotating guiding body which emits diffuse light and surrounds the actual collecting surface for the hot ashes.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a glass on a vessel shelf, which is part of a tray,
- Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of a round glass tray, called the support ring, with a plurality of individually illuminated and switched over a central switch Gefäßabstellfusion and
- FIG 3 is a schematic perspective view of a special tray called “meter of beer” or “beverage meter” with eleven vial storage areas and a central switch on a handle
- the Gefdentstellflache 1 in Figure 1 is identical in size to a glass bottom 2 of the glass 3, which is on the tray (not shown beyond the borders of the Gefäßstellflache 1) Realized by a melted-down electronic circuit 4, the footprint 1 is illuminated when a membrane switch 5 is charged
- the circuit 4 consists only of a battery 6, a light-emitting diode 7 and wires connecting these components (numbered 8 by way of example)
- the membrane switch 5 is switched when pressure is exerted on an underside 9 of the tablet - for example if the staff accidentally grabs the tablet under the shelf 1 - in other variants a switch can be used, in particular on an upper side 10 of the tablet part of the footprint 1 may be executed
- the light of the light-emitting diode is centered on the center of the glass in order to achieve uniform illumination of the drink with the help of a separate attachment.
- a toy gel foil is melted into the tray.
- the LED 7 can also be centered under the shelf 1
- the beverage support ring 20 in FIG. 2 has, at certain intervals, shelves designed as glass insertion devices (numbered 21 by way of example), in which one glass or more glasses can be placed.
- a bottom 22 of the drink ring 20 is located in a sealed and for changing the batteries (not shown) )
- Openable cavity 24 a built-in electronic circuit (not shown), and illuminants (not shown) are located under each glass insertion device 21 in order to achieve centered lighting.
- a highly conductive tablet rim body 26 is also illuminated, so that this diffuses light
- the same principle is used for the beverage meter 40 in FIG. 3 as for the beverage support ring in FIG. 2, but the difference is that the glasses are not in a circle with one another, but are arranged one behind the other.
- the central switch (not shown) is on the handle 41.
- the switch can also be flipped manually, so that the staff can illuminate the shelves (numbered 42 by way of example), for example with light bulbs, individual LEDs or A central LED can be left switched on when it is placed on the table.
- This variant can be used to provide a number of individual buttons that correspond to the surface area (numbered 43 as an example), which only illuminates surface areas 42 on which a filled glass is placed.To do this, the threshold switching force of the Button 43 the marginally correspond to the reduced weight of a filled glass of the relevant type.
- the glasses are set in round frames (numbered 44 by way of example), as a result of which the mounting surfaces 42 can be determined very precisely exist and thus no accessible cavity for accommodating the voltage source 45 is available.
- the lateral arrangement means that the voltage source 45 is largely protected from escaping or splashing fluid from the glasses
- switches or sensors can be individually provided for each individual glass insert device in conjunction with a beverage carrier ring or meter. Likewise, a common switch can also be used
- means can also be provided that measure on a surface where a glass is located and then ensure that it illuminates through the underside of the glass in this area
- a technology similar to that of touch-sensitive flat screens could be used.
- the same principle is used to illuminate ashtrays as is the case with the illuminated pedestals.
- the core is preferably melted electronics in the ashtray with a lamp on the ashtray bottom or on the edge of the ashtray.
