Description

Illuminated sign.

Object of the invention

The invention relates to a luminous sign of the type of those intended to be placed on building facades or any support structure and to conform, depending on the installation position, a signage sign with a face visible or a banner with both sides visible.

Background of the invention

There are currently different labels on the market intended for establishments and advertising purposes that they comprise: a rigid body, in the form of prismatic support, about lighting elements, in the form of lamps of different types, located inside or outside the body of the sign and a front translucent element bearing the legends, graphics or advertising reasons themselves. These signs are provided with a rigid structure that supports the constituent elements of the same and that provide a volume more or less important ...

Different structure designs are known rectangular, cylindrical or semi-cylindrical, etc. Some are made up of specific materials that increase the light intensity of the sign, allowing the use of spotlights of lower power for proper lighting.

These signs have several drawbacks, being of note: that they are fixed, that they have an important weight due to the structure or outer support body and that require fixed and resistant anchors to attach them to walls, floors or facades permanently.

Other disadvantages of these signs, determined by its high weight and complexity of assembly, is that must be factory assembled and transported in vans or trucks to the point of installation, the intervention of several operators to perform the manipulation and mounting in an elevated position of the outer case or body, subsequently carried out on the box already installed the assembly of additional elements such as the lighting elements or the front closing panel.

These particularities make handling difficult and label portability, making the possibility of inconceivable disassemble and move this type of signs to a new location, for example due to a change of address of the business.

Description of the invention

To solve the exposed problem, the Luminous sign object of this invention, presents some constructive particularities oriented to provide you with a portable and manageable character, understanding by laptop the capacity or ease of being transported and by manageable the capacity or ease of handling for installation or Uninstall it.

Another object of the invention is that the Sign in question is light in proportion to its size, once fully assembled, for easy transport and that constituent elements are in an arrangement such that prevent the assembly of its components on site final.

For this, and according to the invention, this luminous is composed of a prismatic body of material lightweight, mainly translucent plastic or translucent canvas. A or all faces of the prismatic body can be carriers of the graphic or decorative motifs of the label, depending on the position of use, that is to say that the label will be arranged with a or all visible faces.

The extreme faces of the sign may be attached each other by a flexible element, preferably fabric, which give you the possibility of modifying the exterior shape. Of this so we can get a triangular shape perpendicular to the facade.

Inside the prismatic body is the lighting means of the label are arranged, which they are preferably made up of light hoses or fibers Optical

These lighting means can be arranged forming parallel, longitudinally oriented alignments and parallel to each other, in the case that several sections of light or fiber optic hoses, or forming various shapes (in zigzag, in circles or in other provisions) in the event that use a single light hose or fiber optic length adequate.

In any case, said lighting means will be they will find connected by electrical connection cables to a power supply, which can be the supply network electric, rechargeable batteries or accumulators connected to photovoltaic devices solar energy collectors.

The lighting means are fixed, to one of the faces by means of conventional fasteners or to an internal structure element.

By preferably using light hose as Lighting element helps to disperse the points of light, placing a light scattering sheet as a sheet optics designed to convert the points of light into an area of light dispersed evenly.

To get an automatic on and off an electrical device will be available from the luminous sign programmable, of a photosensitive cell that turns on or off automatically the label depending on the ambient light, or Any other system that has this purpose.

The different constituent faces of the label they will be conveniently fixed, at least, by their periphery, by sewing, heat welding, gluing or by any technique conventional that allows a stable union of the same.

The label also has some elements of fastening for fixing on a facade or any other support. Such fasteners can be treated simply of strings attached to the opposite ends of the sign and that They allow its hold in the position of use. The label can be of different geometric shapes (triangular, square, cylindrical, etc.) depending on the need and the way it is given to forming bodies.

With the configuration described, this label It presents a series of advantages, among which the following stand out: ease of transport, handling, installation and uninstallation, the use of a small number of parts to its construction, which implies low manufacturing costs, the possibility of transporting it fully assembled avoiding the subsequent assembly of parts at the site.

Brief description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the label.

Figure 2 schematically shows a view exploded in perspective of an example embodiment of the label bright.

Figure 3 shows an exploded view, in upper floor, of the sign of the previous figures sectioned by a horizontal plane.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the label of the invention comprises a prismatic body with two extreme faces (1, 5) that define the faces respectively anterior and posterior of the label and which are formed in a translucent or transparent material.

The front face (1) is a carrier of motifs graphics (11), being able to arrange the rear face (5) of about similar reasons in the event that the label is installed with both faces, anterior and posterior, visible.

Between the extreme faces (1 and 5) are centrally arranged lighting elements (3) represented by a strip of light hoses in the form of "endless" circle and subject to an inner element of material translucent.

The power supply of the means of lighting is done by means of a connection cable (8) provided with the respective connector and a plug for connection With an adequate power supply.

In the example shown, it is foreseen that in the installation position of the sign is visible on both sides, so it incorporates between the two extreme faces (1, 5) two intermediate sheets (2) of translucent material, which acts as diffuser element of the light projected by the lighting means (3) on the two extreme faces (1, 5) for the backlight of the graphic motifs (11).

The peripheral faces (6) are composed of flexible material

The faces (1, 2, 4, 5 and 6) are fixed each other, at least for its periphery, forming a single set in The mounting position.

The lighting means (3) are fixed to a intermediate transparent sheet (25) by stapling, gluing or by Any other conventional technique.

To facilitate the fixing of the label, it it has in its periphery some through holes (7) that allow the passage of ropes or fastening hooks.

Once the nature of The invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, is for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
