Description

1

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a support structure for an object which houses a light source.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Until now, objects whose beauty is to be highlighted are illuminated by light directed from above or obliquely to the object, so as to show their beauty and at the same time create a certain theater effect. In such a method of illumination, it is not only the object itself, but also its immediate surroundings, so that the object and its surroundings in combination define the space where the object is the center of attention, which is the purpose of such illumination.

However, the impact of light from above or obliquely on an object can have a certain disadvantage precisely because it is not only the object but also its surroundings that is illuminated. Thus, it is not possible to show an inherent glitter object. This is especially true when the light falls down or obliquely on an object made up of a cocktail glass filled with a cocktail and placed on a bar counter, or a jewel located on the display area. Because the light falling from above or obliquely on a glass or a jewel is dispelled, it does not show clearly the glitter of this object.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to provide a support structure, the light source of which is located directly below the article, e.g., a cocktail glass or a gem placed on the carrier, so that the light is thrown directly up into the article and not diffused into its surroundings. Thus, the light is concentrated on the object so that it can show the inherent glitter of the gem or glass and the cocoon that is in the glass. 2

The invention is based on the fact that a switch is provided on the support object in a fixed position, an opening is formed in the upper part of the carrier on which the object is to be placed, a light source which is connected by electric conductors is fixed in the bottom of the opening. with a switch, a continuous lens is mounted in the upper part of the opening and a transparent flat is placed over the same lens as the upper part of the carrier.

The effect achieved is particularly pronounced when the carrier is a countertop or table. The lens has a diameter of 1.6 cm, the light source is a miniature bulb and the transparent flat member is a glass sheet.

When an object is placed on the carrier, such as a gem or a glass with a cocktail, and the light is projected directly upward from the bottom, the continuous lens prevents light scattering, which is cast only on the illuminated object and shows its glitter and beauty.

The lens should preferably have a diameter of 1.6 cm, because the larger diameter lenses do not concentrate sufficiently light, and miniature bulbs as a light source are particularly preferred because of their size and slight heating. A very good result is achieved when the carrier is a bar counter or table. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a plan view of a portion of a support structure with a built-in light source, FIG. 2 shows a larger scale section of the support structure on which the illuminated object is to be placed, and FIG. FIG. 1, but with a support-mounted object

In the illustrated embodiment, the support structure consists of a carrier 4, in this case a bar counter. However, the carrier may be any article or article support, a table for exposing jewelry or tableware, etc. The object or objects that are laid on the carrier may be light-transmitting: suitable examples include not only cocktail glasses and drahots, but also decorative glass objects , jars, etc.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, switches 5 are provided in fixed positions in the carrier 4, which switch on when it is intended to light up and turn off when light is not needed. Holes are provided in the upper portion of the carrier 4, e.g., a counter on which objects such as cocktail glasses are to be placed. In the embodiment shown, the openings on that side of the counter, or the customers are drinking drinks, that is, on the opposite side of the switches. A miniature bulb is formed at the bottom of each opening to form a light source 2. Each of the switches 5 is connected to the respective bulb by electrical conductors that pass through the cavities 8 in the carrier 4. (FIGS. 1 and 2). a joining lens 11 is disposed.

When the carrier 4 is a bar, the lens 1 should have a diameter of 1.6 cm so that the light coming out of the bulb is not dispersed. A transparent flat member 3, preferably a glass table, is placed over the opening at the height of the upper surface of the carrier 6, preferably objects such as cocktail glasses 6, are placed on the carrier 4 and this transparent flat member 2 as shown in FIG. the supporting structures according to the invention can be illuminated directly from below into the object, eg into a cocktail glass or jewel, from a position directly below the object, so that it concentrates only on the object. When the subject is a gem, a gem, etc., light effectively shows its beauty and glitter to an extent that has not yet been attainable. When illuminated in this way, the foam in the glass with the beer also glistens. The light coming from below from the spot directly under the object centered on the object and passing through it highlights the glitter of the object, e.g., the container and its liquid content.
