Description

The invention relates to a disc element comprising at least one transparent disc, in particular glass, and a frame, the disc comprising two parallel surfaces and a peripheral edge and the frame framing the disc or discs at least partially in the region of the edge and the frame the disc or the discs stops. The invention also relates to windows, tables, presentation boards, window sills, furniture, roller shutter covers, aquariums, shop windows, cabinet doors, floors, stairs or partitions comprising at least one such disk element. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a disk element.

Transparent pane elements are not only used in windows but are also used in doors, writing boards, furniture and other objects. In addition to functioning as a transparent medium through which something can be viewed, or for daylighting a space located behind the pane, panes can also serve a decorative purpose. For example, it is known to apply stickers to a disc or to engrave or partially matt the surface to create an artistic effect or to convey an advertising message. To hold slices in buildings or other objects, these are usually kept in frames or are in the range of frames or otherwise attached.

So that beats DE 203 13 874 U1 a glass door or a glass window with a frame or a frame, wherein in the frame or the frame or in a door or window cross at least one illumination means is arranged, which is directed to the edge of a disc. The surface of the disk is partially changed by applying or removing material on the surface. In these areas, the light is refracted from the pane, creating a décor.

From the DE 101 46 604 A1 a window element is known, which comprises a frame construction and two spaced-apart glass panes, wherein at least one luminous means is arranged in the region of the frame construction, so that light is radiated into the pane via an outer edge of the pane. Again, the surface is treated to allow the light to exit the disk.

The disadvantage of this is that the frame and the disc must be constructed to match the bulb. For this purpose, a spacing of the frame must be provided by the disc for the lamp. Since the frame is to hold the disc mostly mechanically, this has the disadvantage that the stability of the construction is impaired. In addition, it is especially for external windows and double glazing so that they must be isolated at the edge areas. The free spaces for the bulbs, such as those in the DE 101 46 604 A1 are shown form in the region of the glass edge composite thermal bridges or cold bridges. As a result, the insulating effect of the windows is deteriorated. The recesses in the frame and / or the illuminated pane can contribute neither to the isolation nor to the mechanical stability of the window and thus weaken the entire structure.

Another disadvantage is that new frame designs and matching windows must be provided for the windows. In a conversion, these must be replaced with the existing frame. Old frames and traditional frame designs can not be used.

The object of the invention is to overcome these and other disadvantages not mentioned. In particular, a disc is to be provided with a frame that can be illuminated on the one hand and on the other hand does not cause any mechanical and / or thermal weakening of the object comprising the disc element. A further object of the invention is to design the disk element in such a way that, if possible, it can also be constructed with existing frames. In addition, various objects are to be provided, which can be realized advantageously by such an illuminated disk element.

These objects are achieved in that at least one recess is arranged in at least one of the surfaces of the disc, wherein in the region of the recess at least one light source is arranged or arranged in the areas of the recesses bulbs, wherein the one or more bulbs for the emission of visible light in the plane of the disc, which is parallel to the surfaces of the disc, is or are suitable or the bulbs irradiate or irradiate visible light in the plane parallel to the surfaces of the disc.

The recesses may be cylindrical or rectangular. They can be formed by grooves or folds. The production of the recesses can be done for example by grooved grinding technique.

The light-emitting means is preferably arranged in recesses in the region of the glass pane or the edge of the glass pane.

Reflectors, mirrors, for example, can be arranged in the groove or groove grinding area in the recesses. Likewise, additional glass flakes, dyed or undyed, can be arranged there.

A further alternative embodiment of the invention can provide that the recess does not extend to the opposite surface and / or does not extend to the edge.

As a result, the mechanical stability and the tightness, the thermal insulation and the sound insulation of a disc element according to the invention are improved.

It may further be provided that the lighting means is at least partially disposed in the recess or the lighting means are at least partially disposed in the recesses.

This construction saves space. If the bulbs are preferably arranged in the region of the frame, we disturbed the support of the disc through this structure as little as possible. In addition, the light effect is most apparent when direct light from the bulbs is shadowed by the frame.

According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention can be provided that the recess is at least partially filled with a transparent filler, preferably filled, wherein preferably the filler is a plastic, synthetic resin or UV-curing plastic and / or the filler, the lamp or the illuminant in the recess or the recesses at least partially surrounds and / or fastened.

The recess or recesses represent primarily a mechanical weakening of the disc element. When inserting a disc into the frame, it could break in the region of the recesses. By filling the recesses or filling in the recesses with the filler, the mechanical stability of the disc is restored in these areas.

In addition, the filler can hold the bulbs. Another advantage is to be seen in that an impairment of the surfaces of the recess (scratches by drilling, milling or the like), which lead to a scattering of the light from the lamp, can be compensated by the filler. The liquid filler also fills these scratches and thus smoothes the existing scratches. This achieves a higher usable light output in the pane.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the recess comprises at least one preferably flat surface, which is inclined against a perpendicular perpendicular to the surface of the disc, preferably by 20 ° to 70 °, more preferably by 30 ° to 60 °, most preferably by 40 ° is tilted to 50 °, in particular, the flat surface is aligned in the direction of the disk center.

Such a surface serves to achieve a defined feeding of the light from the light source into the pane. In addition, such an area can also be easily colored or modified to achieve optical effects.

It can be provided that the preferably flat surface is mirrored, in particular by a mirror, wherein the illuminant radiates in the direction of the mirrored surface such that the light is deflected at least partially in the direction of the center of the disk.

By mirroring the surface of the recess facing away from the center of the disk, the proportion of the light from the illuminant which is radiated into the disk can be increased.

A further embodiment of the invention can provide that at least one light source is arranged in front of the recess and preferably the recess is covered by a semitransparent mirror, so that the light can be radiated into the recess.

In this way it can be achieved that the light can also be reflected several times from one edge to the other in the pane, whereby an improvement in the efficiency with respect to the lighting means is achieved.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the recess is angular, cylindrical, conical or wedge-shaped or the recesses are angular, cylindrical, conical and / or wedge-shaped.

These forms are either easy to implement or particularly suitable for inserting the light source.

In a disc element which is particularly preferred according to the invention, provision can be made for a transparent colored layer to be arranged in at least one recess in the direction of the middle of the pane, in particular transparent and differently colored layers being arranged in different recesses in the direction of the middle of the pane, or the illuminants being differently colored, preferably the lamps can be switched on and off individually.

As a result, different, in particular variable color effects can be achieved. Colored patterns or lettering can be turned on and off individually.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the disc element comprises two parallel, equal sized panes, which are completely surrounded by the frame on all sides at the edges and which are spaced from each other by a spacer at the edge of the discs, wherein the frame via a seal with the Washers is connected and preferably abut the seals on the opposite surfaces of the discs.

By such a double glazing, which is used for the isolation of an exterior window, the benefits of disc elements according to the invention come into play especially since no deterioration of the insulation is to be expected due to the intact pane.

It can be provided that in the region of the edges fully a glass edge composite is arranged, which seals the gap between the discs, wherein preferably the gap is filled with a noble gas, in particular with a pressure which is less than the atmospheric pressure.

Again, a particular combinatorial effect is to be expected, since low thermal conductivities are possible with simultaneous illumination of the discs out of the frame by means of disc elements according to the invention.

It can also be provided that the lighting means is an LED or the light sources are LEDs, wherein the LED or the LEDs are preferably glued into the recesses, in particular with a transparent adhesive, preferably with a transparent UV-curing adhesive.

LEDs are long-lasting bulbs and usually do not need to be replaced. In addition, they are easy to install in the frame and need only little energy. A further advantage is the fact that the thermal stresses caused by LEDs in the disk element are lower than in the case of other lighting means and the disk element is thus more durable.

It can also be provided that in at least one recess in the direction of the center of the disk, a semitransparent mirror is arranged, which is permeable towards the center of the disk.

According to a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that the light source is suitable for emitting light in the direction of the center of the disc or emits light in the direction of the center of the disc.

These two measures also increase the luminous efficacy and thus the efficiency.

It can also be provided that a material is applied to at least one surface of the disc or the disc is partially removed or roughened on at least one surface of the disc.

As a result, light can be broken out of the disk, whereby the optical effects are achieved.

According to a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that the one or more bulbs are switchable or controllable by a control or are, in particular the brightness and / or the color of the light of the lamp or the lighting means is controllable or are, preferably different light sources individually or group-wise switchable or controllable.

With this measure, variable optical effects on the disc are possible. Parts of the patterns or lettering can be turned on and off. This measure thus makes possible additional applications for disk elements according to the invention, such as presentation boards for darkened rooms.

The object of the invention is also achieved by window, table, presentation board, windowsill, furniture, roller shutter cover, aquarium, shop window, cabinet door, floor, stairs or partition comprising at least one such disc element.

For these applications, disc elements according to the invention are particularly useful and well implemented.

The objects of the invention are further achieved by a method for producing such a disk element, wherein in the region of the edge of a disk at least one point of the surface a recess in the surface is produced, preferably ground, drilled and / or milled or a disc is glued to at least one, in particular thus produced implementation on a preferably equal sized disc without passage, so that a disc is formed with at least one recess.

It can be provided that in each recess at least one light source, in particular at least one LED is used and fastened, preferably glued.

It can again be provided that the recess is filled with a transparent filler, wherein at least the terminals of the lighting means protrude from the recess and are electrically contacted, preferably via the frame.

The invention is based on the surprising finding that, by arranging a recess in a surface of the pane and radiating the light into this recess or arranging a light source in the recess, the pane remains intact, at least along its edge, and thus on the one hand no heat or cold bridges when using such a disc as an insulating window is created and also the mechanical stability of the disc is maintained and the disc can also be used for conventional frame. It is particularly advantageous if the recess is filled with a hard transparent adhesive in order to largely restore the stability of the disc. In this case, the lighting means or the lighting means may be contained in the recess or the recesses.

If the light from the luminous means or the luminous means is to be irradiated only into the recess or recesses, reflective layers may be provided on the walls of the recess, which deflect a light incident on the surface of the disc substantially perpendicularly incident light at least in the direction of the center of the disc. Preferably, the reflected light or the light from light sources in the recesses can emit a cone of up to 180 °, preferably of up to 90 °. The light which is reflected in the disks at the interfaces of the surfaces of the disk exits the disk when the surface of the disk is disturbed, for example by roughening or other deterioration of the surface or in which a material, such as a Paint or sticker applied to the surface. This reduces the refractive index difference at the interface of the surface of the disk to the outside, and part of the light that is guided in the disk is refracted outwardly at those locations of the disk. As a result, it is possible to produce luminous effects on the pane which can be used for decorative purposes or for advertising or for lighting or for graphic representation of text, characters, images, patterns or the like.

Another advantage of the present invention is that a warm edge or the tightness of the glass edge composite is not or only slightly weakened by the attachment of the bulbs. A constructed with a disc element according to the invention outer window is not affected in terms of stability, sound insulation, moisture protection and thermal insulation. The efficiency of lighting can be improved by using "iron-free" glass (white glass).

7 : A schematic cross-sectional view of a portion of a disc element according to the invention with a disc and filled recess.

1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a part of a disc element according to the invention. The disk element comprises two disks 1 . 2 made of glass, which has a glass composite 4 sealed and connected together and via a spacer 6 are spaced from each other. In one of the discs 2 is a recess 8th provided, wherein in the recess 8th a bulb 10 , such as an LED (also an OLED) or a small incandescent lamp, is arranged. Outside the image plane further light sources (not shown) may be provided, so that the disc 2 or the disc too 1 partially or completely framed by LEDs. The light source 10 is at the end of the recess 8th (left edge the recess 8th in the disk 2 ) to the recess 8th the disc 2 glued.

In a gap 12 between the discs 1 . 2 is for thermal insulation of the disks 1 . 2 contain a noble gas at low pressure. The double glass window formed by the disk element serves to insulate the window well, so that the heat conduction through the double glass window is as low as possible and possibly sound is poorly transmitted to the noise insulation through the double glass window.

The disks 1 . 2 of the disk element is from a frame 14 carried. The frame construction 14 includes a sash 16 , The sash frame 16 is movable with a frame 18 connected to a window opening in a house wall (not shown) or can be connected. The disks 1 . 2 are about seals 20 with the sash 16 connected. A glass holding bar 22 of the frame 14 serves to fix the discs 1 . 2 including the glass composite 4 and the spacer 6 on the frame 14 , The disks 1 . 2 So be through the frame 14 held. The sash frame 16 and the frame 18 lie over seals 24 to each other. The sash frame 16 and the frame 18 are made of plastic and inside by reinforcing iron 26 stabilized. The sash frame 16 and the frame 18 are interconnected by hinges (not shown), so that the formed double-glazed window (as with windows known) with the frame 14 can be tilted or opened.

Between the edges of the discs 1 . 2 is a spacing provided as a glass recess 28 referred to as. The disks 1 . 2 can pass through a block (not shown) in the area of the glass pane 28 being held.

1 shows only a section of the discs 1 . 2 , which continue upwards. The disks 1 . 2 are two rectangular, parallel to each other arranged discs 1 . 2 , The frame 14 surrounds the discs 1 . 2 completely and on all sides. Likewise, the glass edge composite 4 everywhere in the area of the edges of the discs 1 . 2 arranged and seals the gap 12 completely off. The disks 1 . 2 can also consist of a transparent plastic.

Through the bulb 8th , which can be powered via electrical connections (not shown), the interior of the disc 2 be illuminated. The light is essentially in the plane parallel to the surfaces of the disc 2 irradiated in the direction of the center of the disk. The center of the disk is approximately the center of gravity of the disk element, or the geometric center of the disk element (in 1 above the upper edge, that is, not visible). The light that strikes the glass-to-air interfaces of the disks at a shallow angle becomes at the surfaces of the disk 2 reflected. The disc 2 as well as the disc 1 thus act as a light guide, which is the light from bulbs 8th through the discs 1 . 2 can guide.

Will the refractive index difference between the surface of the disk 1 or 2 and the surrounding air or inert gas in the space 12 the discs 1 . 2 by applying a material to the surface of the discs 1 . 2 changed or by a roughening or engraving of the disc changes the angle of the glass surface to the environment, the critical angle to the total reflection of the in the panes 1 . 2 guided light and that in the panes 1 . 2 directed light in these places partly from the slices 1 . 2 escape.

By doing that, by changing the surface of the discs 1 . 2 a luminous effect can be selectively generated, a pattern or other decorative effect or a label of luminous elements on the disc surface can be generated.

By doing that, the edge of the discs 1 . 2 also in the area of the window pane 28 remains unchanged and also the area of the discs 1 . 2 that with the spacer 6 and the glass rim composite 4 is in communication, remains intact, the disc element according to the invention is after 1 more stable and thermally better insulated, as a disc element, in which this surface for introducing a bulb 10 would be impaired. In addition, the discs can 1 . 2 in ordinary frames 14 can be used, optionally connecting wires for the bulb 10 in the area of at least one seal 20 can be performed or passed.

2 shows a section of another disc element according to the invention as a schematic cross-sectional drawing. The double glazing is like the after 1 from two slices 1 . 2 built, with a glass edge composite 4 and a spacer 6 at the edge in the area of the edge of the discs 1 . 2 connected to each other. In contrast to 1 is in the second disc 2 to 2 but a tapered recess 38 provided in which a light source 10 is arranged in the form of an LED. The recess 38 may be, for example, conical. A conical recess 38 For example, by a simple hole with a wedge-shaped drill bit easy to implement.

The two discs 1 . 2 be through seals 20 in a frame 14 held. The light from the LED 10 becomes at the conical recess 38 at least partially in the disc 2 fallen. The light rays at an angle smaller than the critical angle of total reflection relative to the surfaces of the disc 2 inside the disk 2 run, are at the interfaces of the surfaces (in the 1 and 2 left and right) in the disc 2 reflected and so to the edges (in 1 and 2 below) of the disc 2 directed. The one in the frame 14 directed part of the light from the LED 10 (in 1 down) can by a mirroring of the lower part of the recess 38 towards the middle of the disc 2 be reflected.

The LED 10 also does not have to be in the recess 38 can be arranged, but also in front of the recess 38 to be ordered. Such a constellation is in 3 shown. There is the light bulb 10 immediately before the recess 38 arranged. The lower boundary of the recess is with a mirror 40 Mirrored, the light from the bulb 10 towards the center of the disc (in 3 up) into the glass 2 reflected. The recess 38 is through a half-transparent mirror 42 covered, the at least part of the light source 10 emitted light in the direction of the mirror 40 lets through and the light that comes from the direction of the disc 2 For example, light that is on the mirror 40 is reflected, in the direction of the disc 2 or the mirror 40 reflected.

The mirroring achieves that a larger portion of the light in the disc 2 remains and the lighting effects on the surface of the disc 2 become stronger or a lesser loss occurs.

4 shows a further part of a disc element according to the invention as a schematic cross-sectional view. The right disc is here from two discs 2 and 3 or disc parts 2 . 3 built up. A recess 48 extends through the disc 3 into the disk 2 , In the right part of the disc 3 is arranged a passage in which a light source 10 is arranged. The structure of two discs 2 . 3 facilitates the construction of the right pane 2 . 3 , Basically and preferably, a recess for a light source 10 also be built up by that only in the right part of the disc 3 a bushing is arranged while the left part disk 2 has no recess. Be the two part discs 2 . 3 then assembled by, for example, glued together, so the recess for the bulb 10 generated by that passing through the right part of the disc 3 through the left part disc 2 is completed.

The connected disks 1 . 2 . 3 be from a frame 14 carried. The frame 14 is about flexible gaskets 20 made of a rubber with the double disc 1 . 2 . 3 connected.

5 shows a further section of a disc element according to the invention as a schematic cross-sectional view. The disk element comprises two disks 1 . 2 passing through a spacer 6 spaced apart and by a glass edge composite 4 be sealed, so that inside the disc space 12 a noble gas or other protective gas can be included. In the right pane 2 is a recess 58 arranged, the upper end in the direction of the disk center (in 5 up) forms a level interface. The lower end of the recess 58 is a curved surface. The front and back of the recess 58 is bounded by flat surfaces. In the direction of the gap 12 or the glass rim composite 4 and the spacer 6 is the recess 58 bounded by a flat surface. At the upper flat surface of the recess 58 a colored plate can be arranged.

The disc element is over seals 20 held in a frame (not shown). The edges of the discs 1 . 2 (in 5 below) can be supported by a padding (not shown).

Basically applies to all recesses after the 1 to 5 in that a plurality of recesses can always be provided so that the discs 2 . 3 are partially or fully arranged by bulbs in the recesses or in the areas of the recesses. The interfaces of the recesses may be colored to achieve colored effects.

6 shows a schematic plan view of an inventive disc element (front view). The supervision takes place here on the surface of a disc 62 of the disk element 62 while the edges of the disc 62 in a frame 74 are hidden. At the edges of the disc 62 Fourteen recesses are provided in the bulbs 70 are introduced and attached in the form of LEDs or incandescent lamps. The bulbs 70 extend into the frame here 74 and shine in the plane of the disc 62 in, preferably in the direction of the inner frame edge or in the direction of the disk center 64 ,

This in 6 For example, the disk element shown can be used for an illuminable game table or for a presentation board. In the case of a gaming table, the use of a transparent plastic for the disc 62 prefers. A game plan or a game slide can to between two mutually movable discs 62 a disc element or between two disc elements are placed.

For example, the presentation board can be written or painted with colored pencils. Depending on which drawing and / or label is to be recognized, colored light of the corresponding pen color can be switched on.

Also, such a panel can be used in a darkened room in a presentation with a projector or a slide show. The notes will light up on their own and be visible to the audience. When used as a gaming table, various stickers or tags can be placed on the table, which then light up and are so easily recognizable to the game participants.

7 shows a schematic cross-sectional view through a part of a disc element according to the invention. The disk element comprises a disk 2 in a frame 14 over two seals 20 is held. At the edges of the disc 2 is a block 81 provided the position of the disc 2 as part of 14 sets. In a recess in the disk 2 is a light source 90 provided, wherein the remaining recess completely by a filler 85 is filled in the form of a UV-curing transparent adhesive. Two connecting wires 91 of the bulb protrude from the filler 85 out. The light source 90 is over the connecting wires 91 electrically contacted. These are in the frame 14 electrical cables laid, which are connected to a controller for illuminating the disc 2 are connected. Theoretically, a connection to a voltage source is sufficient for this purpose. Instead of electrical connection wires 91 Also optical fibers would be conceivable, the light from an external source in the with the filler 85 filled recess in the disk 2 initiate. For the purposes of the present invention, the ends of the optical fibers are then to be understood as the ends of a luminous means.

Appropriately, the voltage source is switchable and optionally has a transformer for providing a suitable electrical voltage for the lamp 90 , However, the controller may also cause a change in the electrical voltage over time or due to data, measurements, inputs or other input. For example, the controller could be connected to a motion detector, so that the light effects of the disc 2 only appear during a movement. Alternatively, the controller could also choose the color choice depending on the outside temperature, depending on the outside temperature certain bulbs 90 be controlled or the color via a second electrical voltage or the frequency of an AC voltage can be adjusted.

A further application of disc elements according to the invention can provide that the disc 2 or slices 1 . 2 . 3 depending on a volume of a noise source, the brightness and / or the color of the light controls. Disc elements according to the invention according to the preceding figures can serve as holiday lighting, such as a Christmas lights. When the lighting is directed into the interior of the room, in which on the inside of the window (for example on the pane 1 , which also contains bulbs in recesses) corresponding structures are present, this can also serve to illuminate the room itself. Theoretically, different light effects can be generated inside and outside. By using different paint jobs inside and outside and the use of different colored bulbs this can be achieved even if the disc element only one disc 2 includes.

Lighting effects in the house and outside a house can also be achieved with glass window sills comprising such disc elements. It is also conceivable to construct luminous roller shutter box lids comprising such disk elements. Also, aquariums may include at least one such disc element according to the invention to illuminate the fish or the space in which the aquarium stands.

Shopwindows can be provided with bright advertising imprints if they are constructed with such a disc element according to the invention. Glass doors and windows in cabinets, doors, stairs, partitions and floors as well. The bulbs may also be coupled to an alarm system to deter burglars or alert people outside the home. Partitions made of glass can be used for an indirect room lighting and thus as a visual separation when disc elements according to the invention are used. When used in the floor, the lighting can be controlled by occurrence, that is, by a spring contact that responds to weight.

All recesses 8th . 38 . 48 . 58 can with a transparent filler 85 be filled to the stability of the discs 1 . 2 . 3 . 62 to ensure the edge area and / or the bulbs 10 . 70 . 90 in the recesses 8th . 38 . 48 . 58 to fix.

The features of the invention disclosed in the foregoing description, as well as the claims, figures and embodiments can be individually as well as in any arbitrary Combination for the realization of the invention in its various embodiments essential.
