Definitions

• the present invention relates to a sign, whose fundamental characteristic lies in the fact that perimeter and once activated, emits a beam of light that provides a light effect similar to that produced by neon gas.
• the object of the invention is to provide the market and the general public with a sign in which a specific light effect is achieved, of low cost, with low electrical consumption and without the need to use the said neon gas.
• neon gas has been used for many years as an element that provides a light effect on signs, illuminating the contour of the corresponding letters, as well as internal contours, forming a kind of "halos” of lighting applicable in countless designs for signs and the like.
• neon gas has the disadvantage that it is a gas that internally incorporates mercury, with the consequent contamination and problems derived from mercury itself, so its use is being banned in many places.
• the label of the invention has a light beam for the letter or design of the sign that is achieved by means of LED diode alignments, arranged in such a way that its emission of light is projected towards what can be considered a back , in which there is a reflective surface where the beam is logically reflected
• REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 26) emitted by said diodes, to go outside through a perimeter opening of the label, generating a similar illumination to that which would be achieved with neon signs.
• the label determines "corporeal" letters so that once lit a beam of light is obtained throughout its perimeter, across the front, thereby achieving a highly striking light effect.
• Figure 1 Shows a representation corresponding to a general perspective of a label made in accordance with the object of the invention.
• Figure 2. Shows a front view of the label of the previous figure.
• Figure 4 shows, finally, a view similar to that of Figure 1, corresponding to a variant embodiment or assembly of the device.
• the label of the invention is constituted by a piece as a support (1) for a LED-based lighting element (2), which are hidden behind the support (1) in the which are mounted, so that the emission of light by said diodes (2) is projected backwards to a reflective surface (3), in which the light beam is logically reflected, projecting forward to exit through a perimeter opening (4) established between the front support body (1) of the LEDs (2) and the body corresponding to the reflective surface (3), with the front body (1) and reflective surface (3) being connected by means of distance elements (5) ), as can be clearly seen in Figure 3.
• the distance elements (5) can be adjustable, so that the front support (1) can protrude with respect to the outer casing that determines the reflective surface (3), as shown in Figure 1, or be flush , as shown in Figure 4, or be arranged in any of the possible intermediate positions.
• it is a sign, which in the embodiment shown in the figures materializes in a letter, which presents the particularity that perimeter and in correspondence with the front presents an opening (4) through which the beam of light emitted and reflected on the rear surface (3) by the LEDs (2) located behind the front support (1), these being hidden.
• the label is simple, economical, both in its manufacturing process and assembly, robust, resulting in great beauty, so that once turned on, the light emitted by it offers a light effect similar to that achieved with neon gas, without the risks and problems that the use of this gas entails.
