DE202006007178U1 - LED-Poi/LED-Staff for use as e.g. juggling article, has paired opposite red, blue, green-/rainbow-LEDs and/or groups of imaginable illuminants assembled in arbitrarily formed box from translucent plastic that is formed as display/screen - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has multiple paired opposite red, blue, green (RGB)-/rainbow-light emitting diodes (LEDs) (2) and/or alternatively groups of imaginable illuminants of different colors, which are assembled in an arbitrarily formed box from a translucent plastic. The box acts as a diffuser, such that the box is formed as a display/screen (1). The LEDs are controlled by a central processing unit (CPU) and/or chip (3).

Description

Of the LED Poi, or LED staff superficially as juggling, or sporting goods ("Funsport"), but also as moving decoration / lighting use. By the combination of movement and light becomes for the viewer in dark surroundings, a visually appealing effect generated.

• – Feuer-Poi/Feuer-Staff an deren Ende sich ein Trägermaterial (meist Aramid/Kevlar) für flüssige Brennstoffe befindet, die während des Spielens/Jonglierens entzündet werden.
• – Glo-/Leucht-Poi/-Staff die durch herkömmlichen Leuchtmittel, wie Einweg-Knicklichter die in ein lichtdurchlässiges Behältnis aus Kunststoff eingebracht werden, oder konventionelle jeweils einfarbige LEDs, die fest in ein wie vor beschriebenes Behältnis montiert werden, beleuchtet werden.

Usual articles of this kind are offered as:

• - Fire Poi / Fire Staff at the end of which is a carrier material (usually Aramid / Kevlar) for liquid fuels that are ignited during playing / juggling.
• - Glo- / Leucht-Poi / -Staff by conventional bulbs, such as disposable glow sticks are placed in a translucent plastic container, or conventional monochrome LEDs that are permanently mounted in a container as described above, are illuminated.

The aim of our development was to create illuminated juggling devices, which are characterized by the following properties compared to commercially available products:
As soon as the object (Poi / Staff) is set in motion in any way, the observer is to create an area of light that changes its colors continuously and fluently (protection claim 1). The surface may be closed or "spoke-like", depending on the frequency of the LEDs specified below ( 2 ) is dependent.

For this purpose, any, translucent, but not transparent, resistant, any plastic (eg satined polycarbonate) is used which serves as a screen / screen ( 1 ). This plastic, in any length and shape, depending on the design, includes at least two oppositely disposed, facing RGB LEDs ( 2 ) (Note 1), which illuminate Him from within. Due to this pairwise arrangement and the decreasing brightness towards the center, the impression of a 3-dimensional surface arises as soon as the device moves.

The color change is made by a processor or chip of any type ( 3 ) controlled as a separate component, or directly on the LED, one or more (via possibly integrated button / switch ( 4 ) selectable) effects programs.

Around The color change described above can be done alternatively to the individual RGB / Rainbow LEDs also 3 groups of conventional LEDs or nano LEDs are used in different colors, which then mixed by the processor, or chip by adjusting the brightness / intensity become.

For power supply, conventional battery, or via a charging socket ( 5 ) rechargeable batteries ( 6 ) used.

The Construction as such may be for all kinds of juggling / spinning / flinging / twirling (or otherwise moving) suitable article can be used.

e.g. Staff (Staff of the hands Poi (the construction becomes at the end of a cord / chain) attached and hurled), Devil Stick (is made using 2 shorter rods in the Air juggles) ...

In summary, it makes a difference the construction of other similar articles by the Use of opposite arranged in pairs, processor / chip controlled LEDs the the illuminate the screen used to change their colors fluently and the resulting visual 3D effect.

Claims (1)

LED juggling device that creates in motion the visual effect of one or more closed or spoke-like surfaces that change their colors fluently, characterized by, 2 or more pairs of opposing RGB / Rainbow LEDs ( 2 ), or alternatively groups of all conceivable different bulbs of different colors, which in an arbitrarily shaped container made of translucent plastic of any kind, or the like. ( 1 ), which simultaneously acts as a diffuser and thus forms a screen, mounted and by at least 1 processor, or chip ( 3 ) to be controlled.
