Description

floor lamp

technical field

The present invention relates to a floor lamp and a method for the operation of the floor lamp.

Background technique

For the lighting of writing desks, desk lamps are usually used, which either stand on the desk through lamp legs, or are mounted on the edge of the desk by means of fixtures or the like. If lamp legs are used, the lamp legs are relatively heavy and large in size in order to ensure the stability of the lamp. Therefore, the lamp will take up a lot of space on the writing table.

An alternative method for illuminating the table is to mount the lamp fixedly above the table. However, this lamp differs from a table lamp in that it cannot be installed flexibly, but rather is location bound.

Another alternative for table lighting is to use floor lamps. Traditional floor lamps are designed to stand freely indoors. Typically, floor lamps are used for illuminating an area of a room and/or for creating ambient lighting, for example by means of ceiling lamps or wall lamps. In addition to this, there are floor lamps which, alternatively or additionally, have luminaires in the form of spotlights or the like, which can be directed at objects. By means of such a spotlight, it is possible to illuminate a specific location on the wall where, for example, a picture is placed. If the spotlight can be directed downwards, it is mostly used as a reading light, for example next to a sofa or sofa chair. It is very rare to use such floor lamps for desk lighting, especially writing desks, because in most designs, the spotlight cannot be positioned properly above the desk at the proper distance to illuminate the desk in the desired way. Another disadvantage of such conventional floor lamps is that in order to keep the center of gravity as low as possible and to ensure a stable state of the floor lamps, most floor lamps have relatively heavy and/or flared bases. For this reason, floor lamps are often used only in one location, rather than being flexibly used for different tables.

Patent document DE 20 2004 013 759 U1 discloses a backrest lamp which has a lamp part which is arranged in the upper region of the lamp shaft and has a lamp shade. The light pole transitions down into a T-shaped lamp socket, which is placed on the floor by a T-shaped beam. The light can be leaned against the wall and the light enters the room.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide an alternative to the lamp as described above.

The object of the invention is achieved by a floor lamp according to claim 1 and by a method for the operation of a floor lamp according to claim 15 .

According to the invention, the floor lamp used is designed in particular so that it rests on the object to be illuminated by the floor lamp, in particular on a table. Such objects, which usually stand indoors on the floor, should be illuminated at least partially by floor lamps, in which case the upwardly directed face of the object should preferably be illuminated. Such an object is preferably a table, in particular a writing desk. The floor lamp has a light pole, in the upper region of which, in particular in the region above the object to be illuminated, for example above the table top, there is an illumination, preferably with LEDs.

At the lower end of the light pole there is a lamp holder, which in the intended use position is in contact with the floor next to the object with the contact surface or contact area of the lamp holder. In this case, the contact surface is designed such that, in the intended use position, the floor lamp can be tilted relative to the object about a tilt axis defined by the contact surface. That is to say, the standing surface or the contact surface or the contact area on the lamp socket as a whole is configured such that, in this use position, a virtual projection line extending vertically downwards from the center of gravity of the lamp intersects the floor at a point of intersection , the intersection is outside the enclosed area defined by the standing surface. This will automatically tilt the light in a certain direction based on the center of gravity. In this case, the tilt axis is defined by the contact surface or the contact region (in particular the boundary of the contact surface or the contact region), since the tilt axis is exactly along the contact between the contact surface or the contact region of the lampholder and the floor Or to extend the boundaries.

The difference from the aforementioned back light is that instead of leaning on the wall of the room and then illuminating the room from the wall, the lamp according to the invention is designed to illuminate the object on which the lamp rests, such as a table. For this purpose, the floor lamp according to the invention has a support which is arranged on the light pole in the region between the socket and the lighting, preferably in the middle region of the light pole or approximately at the middle height. With this support, the floor lamp can be well supported on the object in the intended use position, for example, when the support is located in the inclined direction on the side of the floor lamp that is inclined relative to the object in the intended use position, the floor lamp rests on the table on the edge. In this way, it is ensured that the floor lamp remains stable in the intended position of use.

In contrast to conventional floor lamps, heavy bases with large standing surfaces have been dispensed with here, but instead use bases that are as narrow as possible, and the center of gravity of the floor lamps can also be relatively further upwards, since the floor lamps are relatively farther up than they are to be illuminated. The inclination of an object (eg a table) is exactly what is desired here. Here, a table should be understood to mean any object with a table top, ie, in addition to writing desks, conference tables, work tables, etc., in particular also work tables and cabinets with a table top.

Since the light poles extend obliquely upward from the floor past the table top, the lighting portion provided in the upper region is also automatically positioned above the table top and can illuminate the table top well. That is to say, the floor lamp according to the invention can be used as a work lamp and not only for ambient lighting. This floor lamp can also be transported from table to table with relative ease, or transferred from side to side on a table, since the heavy and flared lamp base can be dispensed with. This is especially to be expected for larger tables such as graphic work tables and tables like conference tables.

In a method according to the invention for the operation of a floor lamp, the floor lamp is placed on the floor beside an object, such as a table, by means of a lamp socket, and can lean on the object with a lamp pole, so that the lamp is arranged on the floor. The illumination in the upper region of the rod illuminates the object surface, in particular the table top, from above (obliquely). In this case, the floor lamp is preferably supported on the table edge by means of a support which is arranged in the region between the lamp socket and the lighting on the lamp post.

Although the table is used as the object to be illuminated at the beginning, the use of the floor lamp is not limited to this, but the floor lamp can also be leaned against another object standing in the room so that the object can be illuminated from above, Such as sofa chairs, etc.

Further particularly preferred configurations and developments of the invention are given in the subclaims and the following description, where one set of claims can also be further expanded on the basis of another set of claims, and the features of the different embodiments can be Combination with each other into new embodiments, even if such combination is not expressly proposed.

In principle, the lamp holder can be designed arbitrarily. In particular the lamp holder and the lamp pole can also be an integrated unit. For example, the light pole can simply be constructed as a kind of socket in the case of a hemispherical shape. In this case, the contact surfaces (eg individual contact points and tilt axes) can be arbitrarily oriented indoors, on the floor. In this case, the direction in which the luminous body is inclined will depend on the center of gravity, which can be determined, for example, by the lighting part provided in the upper part of the light pole. In this case, the floor lamp can also be positioned relatively stably by the support portion.

In a preferred variant, the contact surface or the contact area extends along a line. The tilt axis is then defined by this line, ie the pole or floor lamp can be tilted left and right only perpendicular to this tilt axis. Correspondingly, the support portion is located on the light pole along an inclination direction extending perpendicular to the inclination axis on the side of the light pole that can generally be inclined relative to the object.

In order to achieve a contact surface extending along a line, a plurality of contact points can be provided on the underside of the lamp holder, which contact points are located on the desired line. In another preferred variant, the socket tapers at least towards the downwardly directed side. For example, it can be a round rod or a round tube, or the base can be wedge-shaped downwards, or it can be formed in some other way. Here, the lamp socket is particularly preferably designed as a rod. Preferably, the pole is arranged perpendicular to the light pole.

As already mentioned, the support portion is preferably located at approximately mid-level on the light pole. Particularly preferably, the support is located on the light pole at a height of at least 40 cm, preferably at a height of at least 60 cm. Furthermore, the support is located on the pole at a height of at most 110 cm, preferably at most 90 cm. Particularly preferably, the support is located at a height of between 75 cm and 85 cm on the light pole. Here, the height refers to the distance of the support or of the individual support elements relative to the contact surface on the socket.

In principle, the light pole can have any shape, for example, it is designed as a round tube or the like. However, it is particularly preferred that the light pole has at least one flat side, and the support is arranged on the flat side of the light pole. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the light pole is at least partially designed as a flat tube.

There are also various possibilities for the structure of the support portion. Preferably, the support has a support element which (in the normal position of use) has a downwardly directed support surface. In this case, the support surface can also be a relatively small or elongated support surface. Such a support surface may be, for example, the bottom surface of a protrusion or a raised portion or the like provided on the light pole.

Preferably, the support is variably arranged or mounted in its position on the light pole. This means, on the one hand, that the supports can be mounted on different sides of the light pole, in order to choose in which direction the floor lamp rests on the object. Particularly preferably, the support portion is arranged variably along the height of the light pole or is mounted on the light pole. In this way, the floor lamp can be adjusted according to the height of the object, especially the height of the table. For example, the height of writing desks is mostly between 75 and 80 cm. Through such height adjustment, a suitable angle can be adjusted between the contact part of the floor lamp and the table board, so that the lamp head located at the upper end of the light pole has an ideal distance from the surface to be illuminated or the table board.

In a preferred variant, the support portion has an expansion ring which is movable along at least a portion of the light pole. In this case, the expansion ring can in particular be annular, but also a C-shaped expansion ring, which is mounted like a clip around the light pole. For example, there can be one or more support elements in the form of ridges or ribs on the expansion ring. Another advantage of such an expansion ring is that it enables the edge of the table to not come into direct contact with the material of the light pole, and thus the surface of the light pole is not damaged by constant leaning. If required, it can also be replaced at low cost with a corresponding expanding ring after a period of use.

Here, the expansion ring is preferably clamped on the light pole so that it cannot move by itself, but can only be moved along the light pole by a sufficiently large external force. Alternatively or additionally, the expansion ring can also have a static friction-increasing material, for example rubber, at least on the inner side, at least in regions, or be designed in a rubber-like manner. In a preferred variant, the expansion ring itself is made of a rubber-like material, for example a synthetic material such as TPE. The advantage of this is that, on the one hand, the expansion ring can only be moved with relative difficulty, as described above, without moving itself out of the adjusted position. On the other hand, the outer part of the expansion ring can be composed of a rubber-like material, so as to be able to protect the edge of the object placed opposite the lamp.

In another preferred variant, the expansion ring is made of an at least partially transparent material, preferably a nearly completely transparent material.

Preferably, the floor lamp has a user interface, such as an operating panel, on the pole above the support. The user interface may preferably be located on the same side of the light pole as the support. In this case, the user interface will point to the object to be illuminated. In principle, however, it is also possible to mount the support element and the user interface on different sides.

On the light pole, the light head including the lighting unit is preferably arranged on the top side. The base is preferably pivotable about two axes. These axes are particularly preferably present substantially horizontally and are preferably perpendicular to each other. The relative pivoting of the light head relative to the light pole about two axes also makes it possible to pivot the light head completely to the other side of the light pole, so that, for example, it is possible to select whether the user interface is on the outside, for example above the table to be illuminated, Or on the inside. In particular, if the position of the support on the light pole is variable, so that the sides can be changed or, for example, there are support elements on several sides, it is also possible for the lamp to rest on the object with correspondingly different sides, in particular It's the edge of the table.

The user interface can be used to simply switch the lighting of the floor lamp on and off, but can also have other functions, such as dimming the lighting of the floor lamp, or changing its color, in particular the color temperature.

For this purpose, the lighting section may have one or more lighting units. Here, the lighting unit refers to a single lighting lamp, or may be a plurality of lighting lamps in a group. Preferably each lighting lamp is an LED lamp. Particular preference is given to the lighting units having LEDs with different color temperatures. Using a plurality of lighting lamps or lighting units with different color temperatures and using a suitable controller, the color temperature of the entire light can be changed by mixing the light of the different lighting lamps. Preferably the lamp head may have one or more lighting units which are oriented downwards in the intended use to illuminate the surface of the object, but additionally it is also possible to provide a plurality of lighting units which are oriented upwards and used as a top pan lights etc. Preferably, the controller may be designed to operate only a single lighting unit, eg only one lighting unit or a group of lighting units illuminated downwards, or only one lighting unit or a group of lighting units illuminated upwards, etc.

Preferably, the floor lamp can also comprise an automatic controller for controlling the light color or color temperature according to a defined function, in particular during a set physiological cycle.

In addition, the control device of the floor lamp can also be controlled through an App of the mobile wireless device, etc., and the control device is arranged inside the floor lamp.

Features regarding functions and structure of lamp controllers, especially lighting sections including cold and warm light, user interface, App functions or remote controllability of floor lamps, various control functions related to time, especially physiological cycle control functions and/or the application of an episodic control model, as well as raising functions or raising buttons of a user interface, please refer to the patent documents DE102014115076, DE102014115079, DE102014115082, DE102014115085 and DE102014115226, in which these different features are described in detail . All the features or functions of the lamps described in these documents can preferably also be implemented in the wall lamp according to the invention. Accordingly, the disclosures of all the aforementioned patent documents are expressly incorporated into this invention in all respects.

In a very preferred embodiment, the floor lamp has a battery assembly, preferably a battery part comprising one or more replaceable battery cells, for powering the lighting part. The battery pack or the battery part is preferably arranged in the lamp socket and/or in the lower region of the lamp shaft. With such a battery pack, the floor lamp can be used particularly flexibly. Therefore, the idea itself is very advantageous even without the use of supports.

Accordingly, preferably the floor lamp has a charging interface for a charging cable which is connected to a power source for charging the battery pack. The charging interface can include, for example, a socket or the like, but can also be designed for wireless charging, for example inductive charging.

The battery pack or the battery part and/or the charging interface is preferably located in the lamp socket and/or in the lower region of the lamp shaft.

Optionally, a charging device is also integrated into the floor lamp, which charging device is likewise preferably located in the lamp socket or in the lower region of the lamp pole. If the floor lamp itself does not have a charging device, an external charging device or the like in the charging cable can be used accordingly.

Particularly preferably, the lamp has a state-of-charge indicator for the battery pack. The state-of-charge indicator is preferably also located in the lamp socket and/or in the lower region of the lamp shaft. Such a state-of-charge indicator can have, for example, a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged in the form of charging strips, in which case a corresponding number of light-emitting elements will flash according to the state of charge. However, it is also possible to use a color-variable signaling light-emitting component as a state-of-charge indicator, which, for example, emits light in different colors depending on the state of charge, for example red when there is little charge, yellow in the intermediate range, and in the relatively good Green when fully charged.

Detailed ways

A first embodiment of a floor lamp 1 according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 . 1 shows the floor lamp 1 in the use position in a perspective view, but in order to show the support 10 more clearly, the object T to be illuminated (eg a table) is not shown here. Figures 2 and 3 respectively show the floor lamp 1 in intended use when illuminating the table top F of the table T; Figure 4 shows the coupling of the lamp head 2 on the pole 3 of the floor lamp 1 in a detail view; Figure 5 and FIG. 6 show a special design of the base region of the floor lamp 1 , which has a rechargeable battery.

As shown in the figures, the floor lamp 1 as the main element has an elongated flat lamp post 3 which is formed by a flat tube. A joint 6 is provided on the upper end of the lamp post 3 , on which is fastened an illumination part 2 in the form of a base 2 , which is likewise flat and acts like a bent extension of a flat tube.

On the base 2 a lighting unit 8 is provided on the side facing downwards in FIG. 1 . The lighting unit 8 is a group of LEDs with different color temperatures. These LEDs can be operated by a control assembly (here, a part is arranged inside the lamp head 2 and a part is arranged inside the lamp pole 3 ) and a user interface 5 in the form of an operating panel, so that the total light output by the lighting unit 8 can be both Changing the brightness can also change the color temperature. In order to achieve a homogeneous mixing of the light from the different LEDs, the lamps can be covered by diffusing glass or synthetic material sheets. These embodiments are also possible with a simple, non-scattering, transparent glass or composite sheet to protect the LEDs from inadvertent touch, or without a glass or composite sheet. This particularly attractive flat operating panel 5 is arranged here on the front flat side 3V of the lamp post 3 , which is directed in the direction of the lamp base 2 . In addition, the light controller also has a wireless module for establishing a connection with a smartphone, etc., so the light can also be controlled by a suitable App or the like through these devices as a remote operation. For the construction of the lighting unit 8, the controller, the remote control (eg by means of an App) and the various possible control functions, reference is again made to the aforementioned patent documents DE102014115076, DE102014115079, DE102014115082, DE102014115085 and DE102014115226.

On the side of the base 2 opposite the lighting unit 8 , ie on the upper side of the base 2 , a cooling fin assembly 9 is provided, which is used to cool the lamps of the lighting unit 8 as well as possible.

In detail view 4, the lamp head 2 is pivoted in height about the _first axis A1 by means of the joint 6 on the lamp post 3 and can even be pivoted completely to the other side. Furthermore, the lamp cap 2 is connected to the joint 6 by means of another joint 7 so that the lamp cap 2 can be tilted about a second axis A ₂ perpendicular to the axis A ₁ of the joint 6 . That is, when the lamp cap 2 is pivoted about the axis A ₁ to the other side of the light pole 3 , the lamp cap will also twist around the axis A ₂ so that the lighting unit 8 on the lamp cap 2 points downwards again.

At the lower end of the lamp post 3 , a round tube-shaped lamp socket 4 is provided here, which is fastened to the lamp post 3 on the underside like a T-shaped beam. The round tube stands on the floor B along a line extending on its outer surface, which line forms the contact surface K here. This linear contact surface constitutes an inclination axis A _K about which it will incline in the inclination direction R _K when the lamp is not otherwise held. In principle, the light pole 3 can also be reversed in the other direction. The floor lamp 1 can naturally be tilted from the standard position in which the pole 3 is shown vertically upwards in the direction of the lamp head 2 with respect to exactly where the lamp shaft 3 is, since the center of gravity is on the relevant side due to the lamp head 2 .

Therefore, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the floor lamp 1 is designed such that when it is located next to a table T on the floor B, the floor lamp will be tilted towards one side so that it can rest against the table edge of the table top of the table T superior. In order that the angle of the light pole relative to the table top F (marked as the angle α between the light pole 3 and the floor B in Fig. 3, since the angle is the same) is within the set angle range, and the floor lamp 1 can be For safe placement, here, on the side of the light pole that points towards the table top F, on the front flat side 3V where the operating panel 5 is also provided, a support 10 is provided. In the simple embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , the support 10 consists of a single support element 10 . In this case, the support element 10 is a rubber-like bulge, which has, for example, a tongue or the like on the rear side, which is pressed into a corresponding hole in the front flat side 3V of the light pole, thereby allowing The support element 10 is held on the front flat side 3V of the light pole 3 .

Alternatively, a corresponding support 10 can also be provided on the rear flat side 3R of the light pole 3 in order to selectively make the light pole 3 also in the other direction when eg the operating panel 5 should be arranged on the outside of a table Lean against the table. In this case, the lamp head 2 can be pivoted about the axes A ₁ , A ₂ to a position on the other side as previously described.

The lighting unit 8 on the lamp head 2 is configured such that a sufficiently large part of the table top is illuminated. In FIGS. 2 and 3 , almost the entire table top F is covered by the (main) light beam L of the lamp head 2 .

The lamp head 2 is preferably designed such that, in the intended arrangement, an area of at least 40 x 40 cm on the table top F is best illuminated when the lamp head is located 60 cm above the table surface F. Preferably, the spread of the light beam or the opening angle from the base 2 can also be adjusted, for example by means of an aperture on the base 2 and/or by switching on and off various lamps or lamp groups of the lighting unit 8 .

Here, the light pole 3 is about 1.5 m from the lower edge of the socket to the joint 6 (the upper edge of the joint 6 ). The length of the lamp head 2 from the joint 7 to the front end is about 24 cm. The operating panel 5 is located at a height of about 90 cm (lower edge of the operating panel to the lower edge of the lamp socket) and extends over about 18 cm. The elevations 10 forming the support element 10 are preferably arranged at a height of 77 cm (lower edge of the support element 10 to the lower edge of the lamp socket). This is the ideal configuration for the lamp with a table height of 75cm. The angle α between the light pole and the floor or between the light pole 3 and the table top F is very roughly approximately 20°. The adjustment of the angle α is preferably at least 10°, preferably at least 15°. The angle α is preferably at most 30°, particularly preferably at most 25°.

The socket 4 is again shown in detail in FIGS. 5 and 6 . As shown, the socket 4 is configured to be substantially cylindrical. The lamp socket is formed here by a round tube. The circular tube is connected to the light pole 3 at a position on its outer surface. In this case, a flat tube section 30 can be fastened to the round tube, which forms a sleeve for assembling the upper elongated part of the light pole 3 or it can also be tapered on the upper side and inserted into the light pole 3 in the open end of the lower part of the flat tube. The flat tube section 30 fastened to the round tube thus forms the lower end of the lamp post 3 .

In this case, the socket 4 or the round tube has a battery part for accommodating a battery pack 21 (hereinafter referred to simply as “battery” 21 ). In FIG. 5 , the battery 21 is in the shape of a round rod, and its outer diameter is adjusted according to the inner diameter of the round tube. The round tube, or the accumulator part therein, can be closed at the end face by means of the cover part 22 . A socket 20 for inserting a plug of a charging cable 25 is provided on the other side, in which socket a charging device 24 is integrated. Here, a ring-shaped LED light assembly 23 is provided around the socket 20, and the LED light assembly is variable in color. The LED light assembly is used as a state-of-charge indicator and is, for example, green when fully charged, yellow when half-charged, and red when the battery has just a little remaining charge.

In order to be able to select the optimal position of the floor lamp irrespective of the height of the table, the support can also be arranged on the lamp pole in a height-adjustable manner. One such variant is shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 , where FIG. 7 shows the entire floor lamp, FIG. 8 shows a detail concerning the support 11 , and FIG. 9 shows the socket 4 ′ detailed view.

In the second embodiment, the light pole 3 ′ (except for the part of the support part 11 and the socket area 31 ) as well as the light head 2 , the operation panel 5 , the control unit, etc., are the same as the first embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6 . The construction in the example is exactly the same.

In this case, the support 11 has, instead of the single bulge 10 as the support 10 in the first exemplary embodiment, a bezel 13 which has support elements 12 in the form of ribs 12 on one or both flat sides. It can be clearly seen in FIG. 8 that, for example, the uppermost fins 12 may be configured to be thicker than the other fins 12 . The expansion ring 13 is made of a rubber-like synthetic material, such as TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). Here, the expansion ring 13 is preferably transparent. The inner dimensions of the expansion ring 13 are adapted to the outer dimensions of the light pole 3' in order to be able to push the expansion collar 13 along the longitudinal direction _RL of the light pole 3' with (minimal) external forces. That is to say, the expanding ring 13 cannot slide down by itself.

In principle, an upper stop and a lower stop can also be provided on the light pole so that the expanding ring 13 can only be moved within a certain height range. Generally speaking, it is sufficient that the ring can be moved in the height range between 75cm and 85cm.

Furthermore, the second embodiment has a changed socket area compared to the first embodiment. Here again, the socket 4 ′ is of cylindrical design, ie, for example, as a round tube or a round rod. However, the cylinder can be constructed thinner than in the first embodiment, since there is no need to provide a battery part in the socket 4 ′ itself. In addition, rubber expansion rings 34 or the like can be installed on the cylindrical shrouds at each end to ensure a secure hold, especially on smooth bottoms, such as parquet floors and the like. The principle of tilting around the socket is the same as in the first embodiment.

In the lamp socket 4 ′ itself no accumulator part is provided, but in the connecting piece 31 of the lamp post 3 ′. The connecting piece 31 is designed here as a housing which comprises two parts 31a, 31b. If the two parts 31a, 31b are coupled to each other, the user gains access to the battery, and can also replace the battery as needed, if this is really necessary. The electronics for operating a state-of-charge indicator 33 , which is located above the flat side of the connecting piece 31 of the light pole 3 ′, can also be accommodated in the housing. Here, the state-of-charge display 33 includes a plurality of LEDs, which are arranged side by side in a column in the manner of a charging bar. One or more LEDs in this column will blink depending on the state of charge. The light pole 3 ′ can here, for example, at the lower end have two sides extending in the extension of the narrow side of the light pole 3 ′. The sides protrude into the connecting piece 31 , where sufficient space remains between the sides for the storage of the battery and the state-of-charge indicator 33 . Here, a socket 32 for the charging cable 25 is provided on the narrow side of the housing.

Finally, it should be pointed out once again that the devices described in detail above are merely examples, which can be modified in various ways by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is of course possible to use variable supports, such as bellows, on the floor lamp according to the first embodiment, similarly to what is shown in the second embodiment, or vice versa in the floor lamp according to the first embodiment The battery section according to the second embodiment is provided. Furthermore, in the case of the socket 4 of the first embodiment, the round tube may also have a rubber expansion ring on the end side for standing safety. Likewise, it is also possible to make a floor lamp with no battery part at all, although the lamp can of course only run with a cable. Furthermore, the use of the indefinite article "a" or "an" does not exclude the possibility that there may be more than one referenced feature. Likewise, the concepts "unit" and "module" do not exclude that they can be composed of a plurality of subunits, which can also be spatially separated as required.
