Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electroluminescent emblem, such as fire brigade or police badge, preferably for attachment to safety clothing.
  • the said German utility model proposes a use of light-emitting capacitors in conjunction with a voltage supply of 100 to 150 volts DC, which is designed encapsulated in the course of explosion protection.
  • the light-emitting capacitors are arranged on a flexible module, that the entire light assembly is somewhat flexible and thus the risk of damage to this capsule is low.
  • the proposed light assembly is provided with reflective foil that scatters the light of the light capacitors in the on state, but also throws back light incident on the light assembly.
  • DE 20 2004 011 734 Ul describes a safety garment which has pockets for a lighting arrangement described above. In this case, the lighting arrangement which is detachably connected to the safety clothing in this way can be operated with a portable voltage source.
  • the light of an in-bag light assembly penetrates the outer pocket surface, which is designed as a foil, so that a displayed by the light assembly lettering is read from the outside.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an electroluminescent emblem which increases the safety of the wearer of safety clothing equipped with this electroluminescent emblem, and improves the wearing comfort of such protective clothing.
  • the electroluminescent emblem of the invention solves this problem by means of at least one flexible gel accumulator, the or provides an operating voltage in the range of preferably at least approximately 6 volts or -stellen.
  • New light capacitors are able to develop their full luminosity with a voltage of at least approximately 1.5 volts.
  • inverters With the help of inverters, however, it is also possible to transform the tension high.
  • the advantage of the present invention is therefore on the one hand, the very low operating voltage, which is not threatening for people.
  • the flexible gel accumulator (s) can be accommodated in a variety of ways in the safety clothing.
  • the emblem and the gel accumulator or accumulators form a unit, preferably moisture-proof and electrically insulated.
  • the supply problem and the sealing are completely eliminated in this solution.
  • only one unit needs to be
  • the gel accumulator / s adapts / adapts to the padding of the safety garment so that its presence neither adds nor visually discerns its presence.
  • a device such as a socket or a charging cable for electrical Bonding of the gel batteries with a charger for electrically charging the gel accumulator, preferably visible, be attached. This can also be done by an electrically conductive Velcro or loop tape, z. on the back of the emblem, done.
  • a mechanical connection can be made using Velcro fasteners or press studs. But both can also serve as an electrically conductive connection of the gel accumulator with the light-emitting capacitors.
  • Another way of electrical connection is the contactless power transmission by induction.
  • a part of the surface of the emblem is coated with a reflective film.
  • a reflective film In this way, a luminous effect of the emblem when exposed to light is achieved by reflection without energizing the light-emitting capacitors.
  • a transparent film can be used, which has a prism-shaped surface on the inner side. The light impinging on this film from inside or outside is scattered and directed to the outside and thus enhances the luminous effect of the emblem.
  • this switch or button is a film switch which is mounted behind a, preferably reflective, film of the emblem.
  • this switch or button is triggered by pressure on the emblem, so that no optically demarcated switch on the emblem is visible.
  • the light-emitting capacitors can be controlled in different operating modes. As such come, for example, a steady light, but also flashing in different sequence patterns and blink sequences in question.
  • solar cells incorporated into the clothing.
  • Such solar cells are available in the form of films and can charge the gel battery when wearing the safety clothing during the day, so that in the dark again energy for the operation of the light capacitors is available.
  • the light-emitting capacitors have a specific structure, namely for the representation of lettering, signals or characters.
  • traffic signs such as a hazard statement
  • a sequence of different characters can be achieved with advantage by the specific operation of individual light-emitting capacitors. It is also possible to switch the signaled meaning of the emblem.
  • the light-emitting capacitors are designed for this purpose in different colors, so that more distinctive signals and characters can be formed from them.
  • Fig. 1 the back of a safety vest with inventive emblem in a schematic representation
  • Fig. 2 an inventive emblem in a schematic detail.
  • Fig. 1 shows a safety vest 2, which is provided with an emblem 1 which bears the inscription "police.”
  • the embroiderer 1 is affixed to the back of the safety vest 2 in the upper area and is of large-area design, so that perception is also less pronounced
  • the power supply of the emblem 1 is ensured by two gel accumulators 4, 4 ', which are incorporated in the lower part of the safety vest 2 in a kidney belt and thus are not visible from the outside.They are quasi part of a padded kidney gong, which is symmetrical
  • the electrically conductive connection 5 between the two gel accumulators 4, 4 'and the emblem 1 is sewn into the material of the safety vest 2 and therefore also not visible to the observer from the outside
  • the electrical contact over which the emblem 1 is energized is behind the preferably with the aid of a Velcro not shown here with the safety vest 2 associated emblem 1 and transmits a voltage required for normal operation of the emblem using an inductive method.
  • one or more GeI accumulators 4, 4 'can also be integrated into the emblem.
  • FIG. 2 shows a detailed representation of the emblem 1, as can be combined with the safety vest 2 shown in FIG. 1, for example.
  • a reflective film 8 overlaps the entire emblem 1, so that the existing scattered light contributes as much as possible to the perceptibility of the wearer.
  • Illuminating capacitors 3 are applied under this foil 8 in such a way that they form characters, in the example the lettering "police” as well as a warning sign in accordance with the Highway Code
  • the two parts lettering and warning signs can be switched on separately so that greater attention is paid to the emblem 1
  • the warning sign may flash while the logo is lit in continuous operation Signal color red executed.
  • the lettering is in the example, however, held in blue.
  • the emblem 1 also has a switch or button 9, via which the function of the emblem is controllable.
  • a switch or button 9 via which the function of the emblem is controllable.
  • it is a membrane key that changes the operating mode at each pressure.
  • both parts of the emblem are switched on with continuous light, by a further pressure on the button 9 of the mode described above with continuous light for the warning sign and flashing light for the lettering.
  • a third pressure on the button 9 the emblem 1 is switched off again.
  • the button 9 is designed so that it is only slightly raised raised in the surface of the film 8. It is thus easy to feel, but not visible to the distant viewer.
