DE202007000289U1 - Glass tile with red-green-blue LED lighting for decorative purposes has at least one light source illuminating entire spectrum from side - Google Patents

Abstract

The glass tile (1) for fixing to a surface (5) has red-green-blue LED lighting. The entire light spectrum from the light source radiates into the glass tile from the side. The glass tile may be coated with a lacquer layer (2) on the reverse side (9). A coating of quartz sand (2a) may also be added to the lacquer layer on the reverse side.

Description

I. Field of application

The The invention relates to RGB LED illuminated (red-green-blue, light-emitting diodes) glass tiles.

II. Technical background

tiling the outside area or interior area, consist of clay, quartz, kaolin or feldspar in their production by mineral additives in color changed become. Tiles can also profiled in form and design, wavy or made with decor become. For decorative outdoor and interior areas e.g. bathrooms and wellness areas were lit to achieve visual effects Glass tiles with LEDs installed.

Disadvantage: The glass tile is lit from below with LEDs and is in her Design too high. Thus for the subsequent Installation not very suitable. In addition, illuminated glass tiles are known with different decors, with fiber optic cables be backlit in different colors. The resulting Disadvantage is that a light source is needed, which one in the wall or soil must bring.

III. Presentation of the invention

Technical task

A glass tile ( 1 ) with side RGB LED (red, green, blue, light emitting diodes) to create lighting to reflect the entire color spectrum, and in their design the conditions (size) is made, so that a simple or subsequent installation is guaranteed.

Solution of task

A Glass tile in its texture (length 50 to 350mm, width 50 up to 350mm, height 6/8/10 mm) freely selectable is.

Additionally selectable a hardened Glass tile for the soil, or an uncured one Glass tile for the wall area.

conditioned by the low altitude the glass tile will be SMD (Service Mounting Device) light emitting diodes used, because they have a very small design, about 1 to 3 mm high. This ensures that the side edge in which the LEDs are cast, not the measure of the intended Fugue passes. The color spectrum of the LEDs is selectable. Monochrome LEDs, or with RGB LEDs (red, green, blue). An RGB LED reproduces the entire color spectrum.

The Glass tile is on the back in white (standard), or in bright shades painted, adapted to the conditions.

Of the Lighting effect is achieved by the LEDs, which have a beam angle of 120 ° and attached to the side of the glass tile (transparent material) are. Through the painted back the light scattering of the LEDs is reflected and thus visible. The number of LEDs is selectable, but at least one LED (bulbs) is required. Around to obtain an optimal illumination of the glass tile, the Arrangement and number of LEDs, due to the size of the glass tile percentage and optically determined.

The LEDs (bulbs) are laterally ( 2 , Nr.5) with special glue and cast in addition to protection with waterproof mounting adhesive. Thus, the LED is protected against external influences and given an optimal heat dissipation of the bulbs (longer life of the LED).

The electrical connections are made laterally to the rear and provided with a four-pin plug to ensure a swift or quick installation or replacement. The glass tile is additionally coated on the back side (painted surface) with quartz sand to achieve a sucking and bonding strength with special tile adhesive, with the wall or floor provided for this purpose. At the edge, the glass tile is ground at a 45 ° angle ( 2 , No.5). The recess created thereby is intended for the inclusion of fine-mesh adhesive or silicone. It therefore offers additional strength and is therefore optically fit with the other joints of the tile laid in the area.

Power supply:

The Supplied power supply and possibly the control unit (if required) for RGB LEDs (electronic color change adjustable) is easily behind a light switch or behind a socket (DIN slot) due to its small dimensions to obstruct.

The Cable for the power supply is in the joints of existing tiles (standard) laid to the respective recess of the glass tiles.
