Description

DECKENBELEUCHTUNG MIT HALTERUNGEN FÜR PANELE  CEILING LIGHTING WITH MOUNTS FOR PANELS
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung zur Beleuchtung eines Raumbereichs, insbesondere zur Beleuchtung einer Spielgeräteinsel, mit einem durchleuchtbaren Sichtpanel aus zumindest teilweise transparentem Material, sowie einer Panelhaltevorrichtung, die Haltemittel zum Halten des Sichtpanels und Befestigungsmittel zur Decken- oder Wandmontage des Sichtpanels aufweist. The present invention relates to a lighting device for illuminating a room area, in particular for illuminating a playground island, with a translucent viewing panel of at least partially transparent material, and a panel holding device having holding means for holding the viewing panel and fastening means for ceiling or wall mounting of the viewing panel.
In Großraumsituationen, d.h. großflächigen, nicht durch Wände unterteilten Räumlichkeiten, ist es zur Erleichterung der Orientierung von Besuchern wünschenswert, einzelne Unterbereiche solcher Großräume akzentuiert zu beleuchten und gegenüber anderen Raumbereichen hervorzuheben. Derartige Großraumsituationen sind beispielsweise in Casinos und Spielhallen gegeben, in den bisweilen Gruppen von Spielgeräten zu sogenannten Spietgeräteinseln zusammengefasst werden, die beispielsweise jeweils einen vergleichbaren Spieltypus anbieten und insofern eine Spielthemeninsel bilden können. Die entsprechenden Spielgeräteinseln sollen einerseits gegenüber den Freiflächen bzw. Gangflächen, die sich zwischen den Spielgeräteinseln befinden, hervorgehoben werden, andererseits sollen die entsprechenden Spielgeräte in ein atmosphärisch passendes Licht getaucht werden, beispielsweise eine dramatische Lichtsituation für Spannung verheißende Spielgeräte oder fröhliches, freundliches Licht für Unterhaltungsspiele etc. In large-scale situations, ie large, non-partitioned premises, it is desirable to illuminate the orientation of visitors to illuminate individual sub-areas of such large spaces accentuated and highlight other areas of space. Such large-scale situations are given, for example, in casinos and gaming halls, in which groups of gaming devices are sometimes combined to form so-called spit equipment islands which, for example, each offer a comparable game type and thus can form a game theme island. The corresponding play equipment islands are on the one hand to be highlighted against the open spaces or aisle areas located between the play equipment islands, on the other hand, the corresponding playground equipment to be dipped in an atmospheric light, for example, a dramatic lighting situation for suspense gambling establishments or cheerful, friendly light for amusement games etc.
Um hierbei die Sichtbarkeit der oftmals mit Bildschirmen ausgerüsteten Spielgeräte zu gewährleisten und eine für die Augen ermüdungsfreie Bedienung der Spielgeräte zu ermöglichen, ist es wünschenswert, im auszuleuchtenden Raumbereich eine zumindest einigermaßen gleichmäßige Lichtstärkeverteilung bei gleichzeitiger Blendungsfreiheit zu haben. Hierzu ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung, die üblicherweise aufgrund der architektonischen Raumbedingungen über den Spielgeräteinseln zu installieren ist, ein großflächiges Sichtpanel umfasst, welches gleichmäßig leuchtend das Licht in den gewünschten Raumbereich abstrahlt. Eine ausreichende Großflächigkeit ermöglicht hierbei ausreichende Helligkeiten auch mit relativ niedrigen Leuchtdichten, was eine gut wahrnehmbare Akzentuierung des entsprechenden Raumbereichs bei gleichzeitiger Blendungsfreiheit ermöglicht. In order to ensure the visibility of the often equipped with screens game equipment and to allow for the eyes fatigue-free operation of the game equipment, it is desirable to have an at least reasonably uniform light intensity distribution at the same time glare freedom in the illuminated area. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the lighting device, which is usually to install due to the architectural space conditions on the play equipment islands, comprises a large-scale viewing panel, which evenly illuminating the light radiates into the desired space area. A sufficient large area allows sufficient brightness even with relatively low luminance, which allows a well perceptible accentuation of the corresponding space area with simultaneous glare.
Derartige großflächige, lichtabstrahlende bzw. durchleuchtbare Sichtpanele sind jedoch nicht ohne Weiteres in den jeweiligen Gebäuderäumen zu installieren, insbesondere wenn die Installation nachträglich bei schon existierenden Deckenkonstruktionen und schon aufgestellten Geräten bzw. Exponaten im zu beleuchtenden Raumbereich erfolgt. Beispielsweise sind in Spielcasinos bzw. Spielhallen oftmals schon Deckenbeleuchtungen beispielsweise in Form von Strahlern oder Leuchtstoffröhren vorhanden und auf den entsprechenden Spielgeräteinseln schon Spielgeräte installiert, so dass bei der nachträglichen Montage die vorhandene Deckenkonstruktion und deren Bemaßungen zu verwenden sind. Die schon aufgestellten Spielgeräte dürfen weder verschmutzt noch entfernt werden, wodurch sich größere Umbauarbeiten an der Deckenkonstruktion verbieten und größere Hubvorrichtungen zum Anheben größerer Beleuchtungsvorrichtungen für die Montage an der Decke kaum verwenden lassen. Such large-area, lichtabstrahlende or transilluminable Sichtpanele are not readily installed in the respective building spaces, especially if the installation is done later in already existing ceiling structures and already set up devices or exhibits in the area to be illuminated space. For example, in casinos or arcades often already ceiling lights, for example in the form of spotlights or fluorescent tubes available and already installed on the corresponding playground islands game equipment, so that in the subsequent installation, the existing ceiling structure and their dimensions are to be used. The already established playground equipment must not be polluted or removed, which prohibit major alterations to the ceiling construction and can hardly use larger lifting devices for lifting larger lighting fixtures for mounting on the ceiling.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt hiervon ausgehend die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Beleuchtungsvorrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermeidet und letzteren in vorteilhafterweise weiterbildet. Insbesondere soll eine auch nachträglich bei gegebener Raumkonstruktion einfach zu montierende Beleuchtungsvorrichtung geschaffen werden, die bei deutlicher Akzentuierung des zugeordneten Raumbereichs eine gute Sichtbarkeit und ermüdungsfreie Bedienung bzw. Betrachtung dort ausgestellter Geräte bzw. Exponate ermöglicht und variabel an verschiedene Akzentuierungswünsche anpassbar ist. The present invention is based on the object to provide an improved lighting device of the type mentioned, the disadvantages avoids the prior art and the latter in an advantageous manner. In particular, it should also be possible to create a lighting device which is easy to install even given a given room design, which allows for clear visibility and fatigue-free operation or viewing of devices or exhibits exhibited there, and is variably adaptable to different accentuation wishes.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die genannte Aufgabe durch eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche. Insbesondere kann die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung zur Beleuchtung einer Spielgeräteinsel gemäß Anspruch 14 eingesetzt sein. According to the invention, said object is achieved by a lighting device according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. In particular, the lighting device can be used to illuminate a game device island according to claim 14.
Es wird also vorgeschlagen, das durchleuchtbare Sichtpanel aus mehreren Sichtpanelteilen zusammenzusetzen und die Sichtpanelteile durch eine spinnenartige Haltearmanordnung zu fixieren, die die Sichtpanelteile an den aneinander angrenzenden Innenseiten halten. Die Gewichtskräfte der Sichtpanelteile werden von innen bzw. der spinnenartigen Haltearmanordnung des Sichtpanels her abgefangen, so dass auch bei großflächigen Sichtpanelen nur begrenzte Biegemomente auf die Sichtpanelteile wirken, was wiederum die Verwendung dünner Sichtpanelteile ermöglicht und die Verwendung hochfester Materialien entbehrlich macht. It is therefore proposed to assemble the transilluminable viewing panel from a plurality of viewing panel parts and to fix the viewing panel parts by a spider-like retaining arm arrangement which holds the viewing panel parts against the adjoining insides. The weight forces the Sichtpanelteile be intercepted from the inside or the spider-like Haltearmanordnung the viewing panel, so that even with large-scale Sichtpanelen only limited bending moments act on the Sichtpanelteile, which in turn allows the use of thin Sichtpanelteile and makes the use of high-strength materials unnecessary.
Erfindungsgemäß besitzen die Haltemittel der Panelhaltevorrichtung zumindest drei miteinander verbundene, sternförmig angeordnete Haltearme, die zumindest zwei Sichtpanelteile an deren Innenseiten halten, mit denen die genannten Sichtpanelteile aneinander grenzen, so dass die Sichtpanelteile gemeinsam eine im Wesentlichen durchgängige Sichtpanelfläche bilden, wobei die Sichtpanelteile von den Haltearmen ungehaltene, freie Außenseiten besitzen, die gemeinsam den Außenumfang des Sichtpanels bilden. According to the invention, the holding means of the panel holding device have at least three interconnected, star-shaped holding arms that hold at least two viewing panel parts with their inner sides adjacent to each other so that the viewing panel parts together form a substantially continuous panel surface, whereby the viewing panel parts are separated from the holding arms have naughty, free outsides, which together form the outer periphery of the viewing panel.
Durch das Aneinandersetzen mehrerer Sichtpanelteile kann nicht nur die gewünschte Großflächigkeit des Sichtpanels bei gleichzeitig grazilem Erscheinungsbild erreicht werden, sondern auch ein modularer Aufbau, der die Austauschbarkeit einzelner Sichtpanelteile und die variable Kombinierbarkeit verschiedener Sichtpanelteile ermöglicht. Hierdurch können bei begrenzter Anzahl verschiedener Sichtpanelteile viele verschiedene Sichtpanelflächen und hierdurch viele verschiedene Lichtatmosphären geschaffen werden. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht die zentrale Krafteinleitung an den Innenseiten der Sichtpanelteile und die hierdurch resultierenden geringen Biegebelastungen die Verwendung preisgünstiger, an die Beleuchtungsaufgabe angepasster Sichtpanelmaterialien mit hoher Transparenz und Leuchtkraft, die auch bei geringer Leistung der verwendeten Leuchtmittel ausreichende Lichtstärken im auszuleuchtenden Raum bewirken können. Alternativ können zusätzlich punktförmig angeordnete bzw. angreifende Halte- und/oder Abstützungselemente vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise im jeweiligen Massen- bzw. Flächenmittelpunkt eines oder jeden Sichtpanelteiles. By juxtaposing several Sichtpanelteile not only the desired large area of the viewing panel can be achieved at the same graceful appearance, but also a modular design, the interchangeability individual Sichtpanelteile and the variable combinability of various Sichtpanelteile allows. As a result, many different viewing panel surfaces and thus many different light atmospheres can be created with a limited number of different viewing panel parts. At the same time, the central introduction of force on the insides of the viewing panel parts and the resulting low bending loads allow the use of inexpensive, adapted to the lighting task viewing panel materials with high transparency and luminosity, which can cause sufficient light levels in the illuminated space even at low power of the lamps used. Alternatively, additional punctiform arranged or attacking holding and / or support elements may be provided, for example in the respective mass or area center of one or each panel part.
Dabei können sich die Haltearme ausschließlich im Inneren bzw. einem innen liegenden Bereich des Sichtpanels erstrecken, wobei die Sichtpanelteile von den Haltearmen ungehaltene, freie Außenseiten besitzen können, die gemeinsam den Außenumfang des Sichtpanels bilden. Die Sichtpanelteile können alleine an ihren innenliegenden, einander zugewandten Sichtpanelrändern gelagert sein, während die außenliegenden, den äußeren Rand des Sichtpanels bildenden Sichtpanelränder freitragend bzw. ungelagert ausgebildet sind bzw. auskragen. Eine solche an den Außenumfangsseiten uneingefasste bzw. fassungslose Ausbildung des Sichtpanels ermöglicht einerseits bei leichter, transparenter Anmutung des Sichtpanels eine schattenfreie, am Übergang weiche Raumausleuchtung, während andererseits auch die Austauschbarkeit und Montagefreundlichkeit der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung verbessert wird. Durch das Fehlen von Halteelementen an den Außenumfangsseiten können die Sichtpanelteile leicht ausgetauscht bzw. montiert werden, insbesondere von der Außenumfangsseite her an die Haltearme angesetzt bzw. in die Haltevorrichtung eingesetzt werden. In this case, the holding arms can extend only in the interior or an inner region of the viewing panel, wherein the viewing panel parts of the holding arms can have disgusted, free outer sides, which together form the outer periphery of the viewing panel. The viewing panel parts may be mounted alone on their inner, facing viewing panel edges, while the outer, the outer edge of the viewing panel forming Sichtpanelränder are cantilevered or cantilevered or project. Such unfinished on the outer peripheral sides or stunned formation of the viewing panel allows on the one hand with a light, transparent appearance of the viewing panel a shadow-free, soft transition room illumination, while on the other hand, the interchangeability and ease of installation of the lighting device is improved. Due to the absence of retaining elements on the outer peripheral sides of the Sichtpanelteile can be easily replaced or mounted, in particular attached from the outer peripheral side of the support arms or inserted into the holding device.
Eine bessere Gewichtsabstützung auch bei großen Sichtpanelen kann bei Weiterbildung der Erfindung durch eine Unterteilung des Sichtpanels in eine ausreichende Anzahl von Sichtpanelteilen und/oder eine entsprechend große Anzahl von Halte- armen erzielt werden. Grundsätzlich kann die Anzahl der Haltearme und die Anzahl der Sichtpanelteile variieren, wobei in vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung zwischen drei und zehn Haltearme und/oder zwischen drei und zehn Sichtpanelteile vorgesehen werden. Um einerseits eine Vervielfachung der Montageschritte zu vermeiden, andererseits aber eine ausreichende Stützwirkung bei großflächigen Sichtpanelen zu erzielen, können in vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung drei bis sechs, insbesondere vier Haltearme vorgesehen sein, die drei bis sechs, insbesondere vier Sichtpanelteile halten. A better weight support even with large viewing panels can in development of the invention by a subdivision of the viewing panel in a sufficient number of Sichtpanelteilen and / or a correspondingly large number of holding be achieved poor. In principle, the number of retaining arms and the number of sight panel parts can vary, wherein in an advantageous development of the invention between three and ten retaining arms and / or between three and ten sight panel parts are provided. On the one hand to avoid a multiplication of the assembly steps, but on the other hand to achieve a sufficient support effect in large-scale Sichtpanelen, three to six, in particular four support arms can be provided in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, holding three to six, especially four Sichtpanelteile.
Um eine einfache Montage und Austauschbarkeit der Sichtpanelteile zu erreichen, sind in Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Haltearme derart ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass die Sichtpanelteile von der Außenumfangsseite her in den von zwei benachbarten Haltearmen aufgespannten Sektor eingeschoben und von der Außenseite her an die Haltearme angesetzt werden können. Insbesondere können jeweils zwei benachbarte Haltearme einen Sichtpanelsektor begrenzen, der sich zur Verbindungsstelle der beiden benachbarten Haltearme hin verjüngt und dessen seitliche Sektorränder in Richtung auf die genannte Verbindungsstelle zu hinterschnei- dungsfrei ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch wird es möglich, das jeweilige Sichtpanelteil von außen her in den von den beiden benachbarten Haltearmen aufgespannten Raumbereich einzuschieben und an die Haltearme anzusetzen, ohne dass das Sichtpanelteil klemmen würde. In order to achieve a simple assembly and interchangeability of the sight panel parts, the retaining arms are formed and arranged in such a way that the Sichtpanelteile can be inserted from the outer peripheral side in the spanned by two adjacent support arms sector and attached from the outside to the support arms , In particular, two neighboring holding arms each can delimit a viewing panel sector which tapers towards the connection point of the two adjacent holding arms and whose lateral sector edges are designed to be undercut in the direction of the said connection point. This makes it possible to insert the respective Sichtpanelteil from the outside in the spanned by the two adjacent support arms space area and attach to the support arms without the Sichtpanelteil would clamp.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, dass das jeweilige Sichtpanelteil von einer Unterseite her oder insbesondere von einer Oberseite her an die genannten Haltearme angesetzt wird. Hierbei könnte auf die genannte hin- terschnittfreie Ausbildung der Haltearme verzichtet sein. Bei Einsetzen der Sichtpanelteile quer bzw. senkrecht zu einer Ebene, die von den Haltearmen aufgespannt wird, können die Haltearme an sich beliebig konturiert sein, insbesondere auch bogenförmig gekrümmt oder in anderer Weise von einer Geraden abweichend verlaufen. In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung können die genannten Haltearmen einen zumindest näherungsweise geraden Verlauf besitzen und paarweise jeweils einen V-förmigen Sichtpanelsektor begrenzen. Die Haltearme begrenzen hierbei die seitlichen, auseinander laufenden Schenkel des Sichtpanelsektors, in den dann ein entsprechendes Sichtpanelteil eingesetzt werden kann. Alternatively or additionally, however, it can also be provided that the respective viewing panel part is attached to the said retaining arms from an underside or, in particular, from an upper side. In this case, it would be possible to dispense with the mentioned back-cut-free design of the holding arms. When inserting the viewing panel parts transversely or perpendicular to a plane which is spanned by the retaining arms, the retaining arms may be arbitrarily contoured per se, in particular curved arcuate or otherwise deviate from a straight line. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, said holding arms may have an at least approximately straight course and in pairs each limit a V-shaped Sichtpanelsektor. The retaining arms limit the lateral, diverging legs of the Sichtpanelsektors in which then a corresponding Sichtpanelteil can be used.
Die Verankerung der Sichtpanelteile an den genannten Haltearmen kann hierbei grundsätzlich in verschiedener Art und Weise erreicht werden. Um die Sichtpanelteile möglichst spannungsfrei zu halten und dementsprechend auch spannungsempfindliche Materialien für die Sichtpanelteile verwenden zu können, können die Haltearme formschlüssige Halteelemente insbesondere in Form von Haltevor- sprüngen und/oder Halteausnehmungen besitzen, die das jeweilige Sichtpanelteil an dessen Rand vorteilhafterweise von zumindest zwei Randseiten her umgreifen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich könnte auch eine reibschlüssige, insbesondere klemmende Befestigung der Sichtpanele vorgesehen sein. Um beispielsweise jedoch auch empfindliches Glas für die Sichtpanelteile verwenden zu können, sind die Haltearme vorteilhafterweise mit spannungslos haltenden, vorzugsweise formschlüssigen Halteelementen versehen. The anchoring of the viewing panel parts to said holding arms can in principle be achieved in various ways. In order to keep the viewing panel parts as tension-free as possible and to be able to use stress-sensitive materials for the Sichtpanelteile, the holding arms can form-locking holding elements, in particular in the form of Haltevor- jumps and / or retaining recesses have the respective Sichtpanelteil at its edge advantageously from at least two edge sides embrace. Alternatively or additionally, a frictional, in particular clamping attachment of the viewing panels could be provided. However, in order to be able to use, for example, also sensitive glass for the visible panel parts, the retaining arms are advantageously provided with tension-free holding, preferably form-fitting retaining elements.
Insbesondere können die Haltearme jeweils zu gegenüberliegenden Seiten hin offene, vorzugsweise nutförmige, Halteausnehmungen besitzen, so dass von gegenüberliegenden Seiten her zwei Sichtpanelteile Rücken-an-Rücken liegend bzw. Schmalseite-an-Schmalseite liegend in die Halteausnehmungen einsetzbar sind und hierdurch an den zwischen den Sichtpanelteilen liegenden Haltearmen befestigt werden können. Die genannten nutförmigen Halteausnehmungen können hierbei durchgehend im Sinne eines kontinuierlichen Kanals ausgebildet sein. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können sich die genannten Halteausnehmungen auch nur abschnittsweise erstrecken, beispielsweise in Form einer Vielzahl voneinander beab- standeter, rasterförmig angeordneter Haltevorsprünge, Haken oder Halterippen, auf denen die Sichtpanelteile aufliegen. Die offene Profilform der Halteausnehmungen kann hierbei grundsätzlich verschieden konturiert sein, wobei beispielsweise eine Halteausnehmung von einem im Querschnitt L-förmigen Halteprofil gebildet sein kann, auf dessen liegendem Schenkel das jeweilige Sichtpanel aufliegen kann. In particular, the holding arms can each open to opposite sides, preferably groove-shaped, holding recesses, so that from opposite sides two viewing panel parts lying back-to-back lying or narrow side-to-narrow side can be inserted into the retaining recesses and thereby to the between the Viewing panel parts lying holding arms can be attached. The said groove-shaped retaining recesses may in this case be formed continuously in the sense of a continuous channel. Alternatively or additionally, the said retaining recesses may extend only in sections, for example in the form of a plurality of spaced, grid-shaped holding projections, hooks or retaining ribs on which rest the Sichtpanelteile. The open profile shape of the retaining recesses may in principle be contoured differently, for example, a Holding recess may be formed by a cross-sectionally L-shaped retaining profile, on the lying leg, the respective viewing panel can rest.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung jedoch sind die Halteelemente der Haltearme derart ausgebildet, dass die Sichtpanelteile von gegenüberliegenden Seiten her umgriffen sind. Hierdurch werden die Sichtpanelteile verlässlich gehalten und gegen Herabfallen gesichert. Insbesondere können die Haltearme jeweils als Strangprofil mit H-förmigem Querschnitt ausgebildet sein. Hierdurch kann bei minimaler Beabstandung aneinander angrenzender Sichtpanelteile ein sicheres Halten der Sichtpanelteile erreicht werden. Gleichzeitig können die Haltearme kostengünstig gefertigt werden. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, the holding elements of the holding arms are designed such that the Sichtpanelteile are embraced from opposite sides. As a result, the Sichtpanelteile be held reliably and secured against falling. In particular, the holding arms can each be designed as extruded profile with H-shaped cross-section. As a result, with a minimum spacing of adjacent viewing panel parts, a secure holding of the viewing panel parts can be achieved. At the same time, the retaining arms can be manufactured inexpensively.
Um die Panelhaltevorrichtung mit den daran befestigten Sichtpanelteilen an einer Decke und/oder einer Wand, gegebenenfalls auch an einem laternenmastartigen oder pfeilerstrebenartigen Trägerteil montieren zu können, besitzen die Haltearme an ihren von der Sichtseite der Sichtpanele abgewandten Rückseite angeordnete Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung von Zugankern, die verschieden ausgebildet sein können, beispielsweise in Form von biegeschlaffen Zugmitteln wie Seilen oder Ketten, oder in Form von biegesteifen Zugankern wie Stäben oder Streben. In order to mount the panel holding device with the sight panel parts attached thereto to a ceiling and / or a wall, possibly also to a lamppost-like or arrow-like support part, the retaining arms have at their side remote from the visible side of the viewing panel rear fastening means for fastening tie rods, the different may be formed, for example in the form of limp traction means such as ropes or chains, or in the form of rigid tie rods such as bars or struts.
Um eine einfache Anpassbarkeit der Haltevorrichtung an verschiedene Montagesituationen und Anbaustrukturen zu erreichen, besitzen die Haltearme vorteilhafterweise jeweils eine Mehrzahl von rasterförmig verteilt angeordneten Befestigungsmitteln zur Befestigung von Zugankern für die Wand- bzw. Deckenmontage. Durch die Vielzahl verschieden positionierter Befestigungsmittel können die entsprechenden Zuganker in Abhängigkeit vorgegebener Befestigungspunkte beispielsweise an einer Deckenstruktur in geeigneter Weise und in geeigneter Position an den Haltearmen befestigt werden. In order to achieve a simple adaptability of the holding device to different mounting situations and mounting structures, the holding arms advantageously each have a plurality of grid-shaped distributed arranged fastening means for fastening tie rods for wall or ceiling mounting. Due to the large number of differently positioned fastening means, the corresponding tie rods can be fastened to the retaining arms in a suitable manner and in a suitable position as a function of predetermined fastening points, for example on a ceiling structure.
Die genannten Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung der Zuganker an den genannten Haltearmen sind vorteilhafterweise lösbar ausgebildet, um die Zuganker in entsprechender Weise versetzen zu können. Um eine stabile, auch bei Erschütterungen oder Windzug feste Montage des Sichtpanels zu ermöglichen, umfasst die Panelbefestigungsvorrichtung vorteilhafterweise mit den Haltearmen fest verbindbare, insbesondere starr verbindbare Haltestangen, so dass die Haltearme zusammen mit den daran befestigten Zug- bzw. Haltestangen eine steife Trägerstruktur bildet. Beispielsweise können biegesteife Zugstangen durch Schraubbolzenverbindungen an den Haltearmen starr, jedoch lösbar befestigt werden, wobei die genannten Schraubbolzenverbindungen an den Nicht-Sichtseiten der Haltearme vorgesehen sein können. The said fastening means for fastening the tie rods to said holding arms are advantageously detachable, in order to be able to displace the tie rods in a corresponding manner. In order to enable a stable installation of the viewing panel, even in the event of vibrations or wind pulls, the panel fastening device advantageously comprises retaining bars which can be fixedly connected to the retaining arms, in particular rigidly connectable, so that the retaining arms form a rigid support structure together with the tie rods or holding rods fastened thereto. For example, rigid tie rods can be rigidly but releasably secured by threaded bolt connections to the support arms, said bolt connections being provided on the non-visible sides of the support arms.
Um die Panelhaltevorrichtung modular aufzubauen und variabel umgestalten zu können, können die mehreren Haltearme der Panelhaltevorrichtung voneinander separat gefertigt sein und durch ein gemeinsames, kreuzförmiges Fixierungselement miteinander verbunden werden. Die Haltearme werden hierzu an dem genannten Fixierungselement vorteilhafterweise starr befestigt, so dass sie von dem Fixierungselement sternförmig bzw. radial nach außen abstehen. Durch ein solches zentrales Fixierungs- bzw. Verbindungselement können die Haltearme als Stangenware bzw. Endlosware gefertigt werden, wobei dann für das jeweils zu schaffende Sichtpanel Haltearme in der gewünschten Länge von der Endlosware abgelenkt werden. Das zentrale Fixierungselement ist hierbei vorteilhafterweise derart ausgebildet, dass die Haltearme in einer gemeinsamen Ebene angeordnet werden können, insbesondere derart, dass in zwei benachbarten Haltearmen ausgebildete Halteausnehmungen für ein Sichtpanelteil am genannten Fixierungselement aufeinander zulaufen. In order to construct the panel holding device modular and variable to redesign, the plurality of holding arms of the panel holding device can be made separately from each other and connected to each other by a common, cross-shaped fixing element. For this purpose, the retaining arms are advantageously rigidly fastened to said fixing element, so that they project from the fixing element in a star-shaped or radially outward direction. By such a central fixing or connecting element, the retaining arms can be made as a rod or endless product, in which case for the particular panel to be created holding arms are deflected in the desired length of the endless goods. The central fixing element is in this case advantageously designed such that the retaining arms can be arranged in a common plane, in particular such that in two adjacent retaining arms formed retaining recesses for a Sichtpanelteil converge on said fixing element.
Die Haltearme können an dem genannten kreuzförmigen Fixierungselement grundsätzlich in verschiedener Art und Weise befestigt werden, beispielsweise angeschweißt werden. Um einen Verzug bei der Fertigung durch thermische Belastungen zu vermeiden, können die Haltearme jedoch auch festgeschraubt, angenietet oder in anderer Weise formschlüssig und/oder reibschlüssig montiert werden. Die Sichtpanelteile können grundsätzlich aus verschiedenen zumindest teilweise transparenten, durchleuchtbaren Materialien gefertigt sein, beispielsweise aus Glas. In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung können die Sichtpanelteile aus Kunststoff gefertigt sein, beispielsweise aus Polykarbonat. The retaining arms can be attached to said cross-shaped fixing element in principle in various ways, for example, be welded. In order to avoid distortion during manufacture by thermal loads, however, the retaining arms can also be screwed, riveted or mounted in other form-fitting and / or frictionally engaged. The viewing panel parts can in principle be made of different at least partially transparent, transilluminable materials, for example of glass. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the Sichtpanelteile can be made of plastic, such as polycarbonate.
Um eine akzentuierte Beleuchtung des zugeordneten Raumbereichs bei gleichzeitig gleichmäßiger Lichtstärkeverteilung zu erzielen, können die Sichtpanelteile eine changierende Farbigkeit bzw. Trübung besitzen dergestalt, dass verschiedene Abschnitte eines Sichtpanelteils verschiedene Farben und/oder verschiedene Transparenzgrade besitzen, wobei vorteilhafterweise die Übergänge zwischen den Bereichen hinsichtlich Farbgebung und Transparenzgrad jedoch sanft und ineinander übergehend gestaltet sind und keine abrupten Transparenzgradänderungen oder Farbänderungen vorgesehen sind. In order to achieve an accentuated illumination of the assigned spatial area with uniform light intensity distribution, the viewing panel parts may have an iridescent coloration or turbidity such that different sections of a viewing panel part have different colors and / or different degrees of transparency, advantageously the transitions between the areas with respect to coloring and However, the degree of transparency is smooth and intertwined and no abrupt changes in the degree of transparency or color changes are envisaged.
Die Leuchtmittel zur Hinterleuchtung oder Durchleuchtung des Sichtpanels können grundsätzlich verschieden gewählt sein und müssen nicht zwangsweise Teil der Baugruppe umfassend Sichtpanel und Panelhaltevorrichtung sein. Beispielsweise kann das Sichtpanel mit der Panelhaltevorrichtung in einfacher Weise vor schon vorhandene Leuchtmittel beispielsweise in Form von Leuchtstoffröhren, welche an der Decke montiert sind, vorgeblendet werden, so dass das Sichtpanel von der herkömmlichen, schon existierenden Deckenbeleuchtung bestrahlt und durchleuchtet wird. The lighting means for backlighting or fluoroscopy of the viewing panel can basically be chosen differently and do not necessarily have to be part of the assembly comprising the viewing panel and the panel holding device. For example, the viewing panel with the panel holding device can easily be pre-faded in front of existing bulbs, for example in the form of fluorescent tubes, which are mounted on the ceiling, so that the viewing panel is irradiated and illuminated by the conventional, existing ceiling lighting.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung jedoch auch Leuchtmittel umfassen, welche an der Panelhaltevorrichtung und/oder an den Sichtpanelen befestigt sind. Beispielsweise können die an den Haltearmen befestigten Zugstreben gleichzeitig Träger für Strahler oder andere Leuchtmittel bilden. Alternatively or additionally, however, the lighting device may also comprise lighting means which are fastened to the panel holding device and / or to the viewing panels. For example, the tie rods attached to the support arms can simultaneously form carriers for radiators or other lighting means.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung auch in die Haltearme integrierte Leuchtmittel vorzugsweise in Form von Punktlichtquellen wie beispielsweise LEDs umfassen, welche ihr abgestrahltes Licht über die Schmalseiten der Lichtpanele in die Lichtpanelteile einleiten. Insbesondere können am Boden der nutförmigen Halteausnehmungen der genannten Haltearme LEDs vorgesehen sein, die stirnseitig an den in die Halteausnehmungen eingesetzten Sichtpanelteilen positioniert sind und die Sichtpanelteile sozusagen von innen her zum Leuchten bringen. Alternatively or additionally, the lighting device can also comprise light sources integrated in the holding arms, preferably in the form of point light sources such as LEDs, for example, which introduce their radiated light into the light panel parts via the narrow sides of the light panels. In particular, at the bottom of the be provided groove-shaped retaining recesses of said holding arms LEDs, which are positioned on the front side of the display panel parts used in the retaining recesses and bring the Sichtpanelteile so to speak from the inside to light up.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels und zugehöriger Zeichnungen näher erläutert. In den Zeichnungen zeigen: The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a preferred embodiment and associated drawings. In the drawings show:

Die in den Figuren gezeigte Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 umfasst ein großflächiges Sichtpanel 2, welches aus zumindest teilweise transparentem Material besteht und durchleuchtbar ist, so dass von dem Sichtpanel 2 abgestrahltes Licht einen definierten Raumbereich 4 ausleuchtet. Wie Fig. 5 zeigt, kann die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 vorteilhafterweise in einem Casino oder einer Spielhalle Verwendung finden, um dort insbesondere eine Spielgeräteinsel 5 zu beleuchten, an der mehrere Spielgeräte 6 zusammengefasst sind. Das Sichtpanel 2 ist von seiner Größe her vorteilhafterweise an die Größe der Spielgeräteinsel 5 angepasst, wobei ein Durchmesser des Sichtpanels 2 größenordnungsmäßig etwa dem Durchmesser der Spielgeräteinsel entsprechen kann, je nach Größe der Spielgeräteinsel jedoch auch kleiner oder größer dimensioniert sein kann. Typischerweise kann das Sichtpanel 2 einen Durchmesser von einem bis fünf Meter besitzen. The illumination device 1 shown in the figures comprises a large-area viewing panel 2, which consists of at least partially transparent material and is transilluminable so that light emitted by the viewing panel 2 illuminates a defined spatial area 4. As shown in FIG. 5, the lighting device 1 advantageously be used in a casino or a game room, in order to illuminate there in particular a game device island 5, in which a plurality of game devices 6 are combined. The viewing panel 2 is advantageously adapted in size to the size of the playground equipment island 5, wherein a diameter of the viewing panel 2 on the order of magnitude may correspond approximately to the diameter of the playground equipment, but may also be smaller or larger depending on the size of the playground equipment island. Typically, the viewing panel 2 may have a diameter of one to five meters.
Das Sichtpanel 2 besteht hierbei vorteilhafterweise aus zumindest teilweise transparentem Material wie beispielsweise Glas der einem transparentem Kunststoff wie beispielsweise Polykarbonat. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können jedoch auch Sichtpanelteile aus einem an sich opakem Material vorgesehen sein, welches eine Perforierung oder Aussparungen besitzt, beispielsweise in Form eines Lochblechs oder einer Gitterstruktur. Vorteilhafterweise kann das Sichtpanel aus transparenten Kunststoffscheibenteilen bestehen, die eine changierende Transparenz bzw. Farbgebung besitzen, wobei Abschnitte unterschiedlicher Transparenz oder unterschiedlicher Farbgebung ineinander übergehende Transparenzgradverläufe bzw. Farbverläufe besitzen können, wie dies Fig. 2 zeigt.  The viewing panel 2 is advantageously made of at least partially transparent material such as glass of a transparent plastic such as polycarbonate. Alternatively or additionally, however, also visible panel parts may be provided from a per se opaque material having a perforation or recesses, for example in the form of a perforated plate or a grid structure. Advantageously, the viewing panel can consist of transparent plastic disk parts which have an iridescent transparency or coloration, wherein sections of different transparency or different colors can have transient transparency gradients or color gradients, as shown in FIG. 2.
Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel kann das zumindest teilweise transparentem Material des Sichtpanels 2 mit einer geeigneten Folie ein- und/oder beidseitig vollflächig bzw. zumindest teilweise beklebt sein, um weitere spezielle Lichteffekte zu ermöglichen. Bei der Folie kann es sich vorzugsweise um ein transparentes Kunststoffträgermaterial mit einer Photoemulsion handeln, beispielsweise ein DURATRANS™ Material oder ein DURACLEAR™ Material. According to one embodiment, the at least partially transparent material of the viewing panel 2 with a suitable film on one and / or both sides over the entire surface or at least partially be glued to allow more special lighting effects. The film may preferably be a transparent plastic substrate with a photoemulsion, for example a DURATRANS ™ material or a DURACLEAR ™ material.
Das Sichtpanel ist hierbei vorteilhafterweise näherungsweise plattenförmig, insbesondere eben ausgebildet. Das Sichtpanel kann jedoch auch eine leicht bauchige, schalenförmige Konturierung besitzen. The viewing panel here is advantageously approximately plate-shaped, in particular flat. However, the viewing panel can also have a slightly bulbous, cup-shaped contouring.
Wie die Fig. 1-3 zeigen, kann das Sichtpanel 2 vorteilhafterweise aus mehreren Sichtpanelteilen 2a, 2b, 2c und 2d zusammengesetzt sein, die gemeinsam eine näherungsweise durchgehende Sichtpanelfläche bilden. Die Sichtpanelteile sind derart aneinander formangepasst, dass sie sich puzzlestückartig zu einer durchgängigen Sichtpanelfläche ergänzen. Vorteilhafterweise ist das Sichtpanel 2 hierbei in zueinander kongruente Sichtpanelteile unterteilt, wobei die genannten Sichtpanelteile vorteilhafterweise V-förmig konturierte Sektorstücke bilden können. In der gezeichneten Ausführung besitzt das Sichtpanel 2 hierbei eine kreisrunde Außenkontur. Es versteht sich jedoch, dass das Sichtpanel 2 auch eine von der Kreisform abweichende Außenkontur besitzen kann, beispielsweise in Form eines Rechtecks, insbesondere Quadrats, aber auch andere abgerundete Konturen wie Ellipsen oder Ovale, oder andere mehreckige Konturen wie beispielsweise Sechseck. Die Sichtpanelteile 2a, 2b, 2c und 2d besitzen hierbei vorteilhafterweise zueinander kongruent konturierte Seitenflanken, insbesondere in Form von V-förmig unter demselben Winkel aufgespreizten Seitenflanken. Auf die Außenkonturen 2o der Sichtpanelteile können zueinander kongruent geformt sein, wobei dies jedoch variieren kann, d.h. die Außenkonturen 2o können auch voneinander abweichend konturiert sein, beispielweise wenn ein vom Außenumfang her insgesamt ovales oder elliptisches Sichtpanel gebildet werden soll. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the viewing panel 2 can advantageously be composed of a plurality of viewing panel parts 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d, which together form a form approximately continuous viewing panel. The viewing panel parts are adapted to one another in such a way that they complement each other in a puzzle-like manner to form a continuous visual panel surface. Advantageously, the viewing panel 2 is hereby subdivided into viewing panel parts which are congruent to each other, wherein the said viewing panel parts can advantageously form sector sections contoured in the shape of a V. In the illustrated embodiment, the viewing panel 2 in this case has a circular outer contour. However, it is understood that the viewing panel 2 may also have a different outer contour from the circular shape, for example in the form of a rectangle, in particular square, but also other rounded contours such as ellipses or ovals, or other polygonal contours such as hexagon. The viewing panel parts 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d in this case advantageously have mutually contoured side flanks, in particular in the form of V-shaped side flanks spread at the same angle. On the outer contours 2o of the Sichtpanelteile may be congruent to each other, but this may vary, ie, the outer contours 2o may be contoured differently from each other, for example, when a total of the outer circumference ago oval or elliptical viewing panel should be formed.
Die Sichtpanelteile 2a, 2b, 2c und 2d werden von einer Panelhaltevorrichtung gehalten, die von einem Zentrum aus sternförmig angeordnete Haltearme 9 um- fasst, welche sich zwischen den aneinander angrenzenden Innenseiten 2i der Sichtpanelteile 2a, 2b, 2c und 2d erstrecken. Wie Fig. 1 und Fig. 3 zeigt, können die Haltearme 9 in Form von schmalen Trägerleisten ausgebildet sein, die die Sichtpanelteile 2a, 2b, 2c und 2d innenrandseitig einfassen. Vorteilhafterweise besitzen die genannten Haltearme 9 einen geraden Verlauf, wobei die Haltearme 9 vorteilhafterweise unter gleichen Teilungswinkeln jeweils radial vom Zentrum des Sichtpanels 2 nach außen verlaufen. The viewing panel parts 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d are held by a panel holding device comprising, from a center, star-shaped support arms 9 extending between the adjacent inner sides 2i of the viewing panel parts 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the retaining arms 9 can be designed in the form of narrow carrier strips which surround the viewing panel parts 2 a, 2 b, 2 c and 2 d on the inside edge. Advantageously, the said retaining arms 9 have a straight course, the retaining arms 9 advantageously extending radially at equal pitch angles from the center of the viewing panel 2 to the outside.
Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, sind die Haltearme 9 im Zentrum bzw. in einem zentralen Verbindungspunkt 10 durch ein gemeinsames Fixierungselement 15 miteinander starr verbunden. Das genannte Fixierungselement 15 kann kreuzförmig bzw. sternförmig vorspringende Befestigungsstreben 16 umfassen, die an die Haltearme 9 forman- gepasst sind und an denen die genannten Haltearme 9 starr befestigt werden können, beispielsweise festgeschraubt oder angenietet werden können. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann zwischen den Haltearmen und dem Fixierungselement 15 auch jeweils eine formschlüssige Verbindung vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise in Form einer Steckprofilverbindung, die es erlaubt die Haltearme 9 in die Befestigungsstreben 16 des Fixierungselements 15 oder umgekehrt die Befestigungsstreben 16 in die Haltearme 9 einzustecken. As FIG. 3 shows, the retaining arms 9 are rigidly connected to one another in the center or in a central connecting point 10 by a common fixing element 15. Said fixing element 15 may comprise cross-shaped or star-shaped fastening struts 16, which are shaped on the retaining arms 9. are fitted and to which said holding arms 9 can be rigidly fixed, for example, screwed or riveted. Alternatively or additionally, between the holding arms and the fixing element 15 and a respective positive connection can be provided, for example in the form of a male profile connection, which allows the retaining arms 9 in the mounting struts 16 of the fixing element 15 or vice versa to insert the mounting struts 16 in the support arms 9.
Die Haltearme 9 sind vorteilhafterweise in Form von Strangprofilen ausgebildet, die einen H-förmigen Querschnitt mit zu gegenüberliegenden Seiten hin offenen Halte- ausnehmungen 12 besitzen können. Wie Fig. 4, dort das Detail A zeigt, können die Halteausnehmungen 12 kontinuierliche nutförmige Schlitze bilden, die von zwei voneinander beabstandeten, im Wesentlichen parallelen Haltestegen begrenzt werden, zwischen denen die Sichtpanelteile passgenau in die schlitzförmigen Halteausnehmungen 12 der H-förmig konturierten Haltearme 9 eingeschoben bzw. eingesteckt werden können. Alternativ können die Haltearme 9 in Form von U- querschnittförmigen Strangprofilen ausgebildet, wobei jeweils zwei U-Profile Rü- cken-an-Rücken mit zu gegenüberliegenden Seiten hin offenen Halteausnehmungen 12 angeordnet und miteinander verbunden sind, beispielsweise verschweißt, vernietet und/oder verklebt. Die Halteausnehmungen 12 sind hinsichtlich ihrer Dimensionierung an die Dicke der Sichtpanelteile angepasst, insbesondere derart, dass die Sichtpanelteile 2a, 2b, 2c und 2d mit leichtem Spiel oder unter einer leichten Klemmpassung einsetzbar sind. The holding arms 9 are advantageously designed in the form of extruded profiles which may have an H-shaped cross section with holding recesses 12 which are open towards opposite sides. As shown in FIG. 4, there shows the detail A, the retaining recesses 12 may form continuous groove-shaped slots, which are bounded by two spaced, substantially parallel retaining webs, between which the Sichtpanelteile fit into the slot-shaped retaining recesses 12 of the H-shaped contoured support arms. 9 can be inserted or plugged. Alternatively, the retaining arms 9 may be formed in the form of U-shaped cross-sectional extruded profiles, wherein two U-profiles are arranged back-to-back with retaining recesses 12 open to opposite sides and connected to one another, for example welded, riveted and / or adhesively bonded. The retaining recesses 12 are adapted in terms of their dimensions to the thickness of the Sichtpanelteile, in particular such that the Sichtpanelteile 2 a, 2 b, 2 c and 2 d can be used with a light clearance or under a slight interference fit.
Vorteilhafterweise sind die Haltearme 9 sehr schmal in Form länglicher, dünner Streben ausgebildet, so dass sie die Sichtpanelteile nur geringfügig voneinander trennen. Im Querschnitt betrachtet können die Haltearme 9 eine Breite besitzen, die näherungsweise 100%-300% der Dicke der Sichtpanelteile entspricht. Advantageously, the retaining arms 9 are formed very narrow in the form of elongated, thin struts, so that they only slightly separate the Sichtpanelteile from each other. Viewed in cross-section, the retaining arms 9 may have a width which corresponds approximately to 100% -300% of the thickness of the Sichtpanelteile.
Die im zentralen Verbindungspunkt 10 starr miteinander verbundenen Haltearme 9 tragen an ihren Oberseiten bzw. Rückseiten, die von der Sichtseite des Sichtpanels 2 abgewandt ist, jeweils eine Mehrzahl von rasterförmig verteilt angeordneten Be- festigungsmitteln 13, an denen Zuganker 14 vorzugsweise in Form von biegestabilen Zugstangen starr befestigt werden können. Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, können sich die genannten Zuganker 14 im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu der Ebene des Sichtpanels 2 von den Haltearmen 9 weg erstrecken. Je nach vorhandenen Anschlussmaßen beispielsweise an einer Decke können die Zuganker 14 an verschiedener Stelle an den Haltearmen 9 befestigt werden. Die genannten Befestigungsmittel 13 können beispielsweise Schraubbolzen sein, in die die Zuganker 14 einschraubbar sind. The holding arms 9, which are rigidly connected to one another in the central connection point 10, each carry a plurality of grid-shaped arranged on their upper sides or rear sides, which faces away from the visible side of the viewing panel 2. fixing means 13, to which tie rods 14 can be rigidly fixed preferably in the form of bending-resistant tie rods.
