Description

Predmet izumaThe subject of the invention

Predmet izuma je voščena elektronska sveča v ohišju, tj. sveča v ohišju, ki po svojem videzu predstavlja parafinsko svečo v ohišju, katere plamen pa simulira svetlobno telo, npr. žarnica, tlivka oziroma foto dioda, ki jo napaja poljuben napajalni vir, prednostno baterijski vložek ali akumulator in je krmiljena z vezjem, da svetloba utripa, s čimer se poveča podobnost s plamenom sveče.The subject of the invention is a wax electronic candle in a housing, ie. a candle in a housing that by its appearance is a paraffin candle in a housing whose flame is simulated by a luminous body, e.g. a bulb, plug or photo diode, powered by any power source, preferably a battery pack or battery, and is controlled by a circuit for light to flicker, thereby increasing its resemblance to a candle flame.

Tehnični problemA technical problem

Tehnični problem, ki ga rešuje izum je, kako zasnovati tako tovrstno svečo v ohišju, ki bo ob izgledu, ki je enak parafinski sveči v ohišju, zagotavljala večkratni vklop in izklop svetlobnega telesa, menjavo napajalnega vira in bo hkrati enostavna in hitra za montažo, zlasti za velikoserijsko.A technical problem solved by the invention is how to design such a candle in a housing that, when it looks like a paraffin candle in the housing, will provide multiple switching on and off of the light body, change of the power source and be easy and quick to mount, especially for the big batch.

Znano stanje tehnikeThe prior art

Znana je tovrstna sveča po slovenskem patentu s skrajšanim trajanjem SI 20838 A2 (Mausser), katere značilnost je, da je v parafinskem telesu nameščen elektronski del, ki vključuje tudi napajalni vir in stikalni element za vžig, in priključno lučko, pri čemer je stikalni element ročno krmiljen s sredstvom, kije dostopno ob lučki in predvideno samo za en vklop. Ker je napajalni vir zalit v parafinu, ni predviden za menjavo. Od tod tudi izhaja izvedba stikalnegaThis kind of candle is known according to the Slovenian patent with a shortened duration SI 20838 A2 (Mausser), characterized in that an electronic part is included in the paraffin body, which also includes a power source and a switch element for ignition, and a connection light, with the switch element manually controlled by means accessible by the light and intended for one turn only. Because the power source is embedded in paraffin, it is not intended for replacement. This is where the switch design comes from

28729.doc/1l-03/D-32-Vr elementa, ki je predviden samo za en vklop, ni ga pa mogoče izklopiti. Po izrabi nezamenljivega napajalnega vira, je sveča po tem izumu neuporabna.28729.doc / 1l-03 / D-32-Vr element, which is intended for one turn only, but cannot be turned off. After using an irreplaceable power source, the candle of this invention is useless.

Vendar se kaže potreba po taki tovrstni lučki, katere napajalni vir je možno menjati po izrabi in ki jo je mogoče večkrat vklopiti in izklopiti.However, there is a need for such a light whose power source can be changed after use and which can be switched on and off repeatedly.

Pri kakovostnejšem in običajno tudi dražjem ohišju uporabniki čutijo potrebo po zamenjavi napajalnega vira, ne da bi odvrgli ves predmet.With higher quality and usually more expensive housing, users feel the need to replace the power source without discarding the entire object.

Prav tako se kaže potreba po prekinjanju svetilnosti sveče, ker nekateri želijo, da gori le ob izbranih terminih. Upoštevati moramo, da te sveče niso uporabne samo na grobovih oziroma pokopališčih, ampak tudi drugje, tudi v zaprti prostorih.There is also a need to interrupt the luminaire of candles because some want it to burn only at selected times. It should be noted that these candles are not only useful in graves or cemeteries but also elsewhere, even indoors.

V parafinskem delu nameščeni zgoraj navedeni elementi so tudi zahtevni za montažo, zlasti velikoserijsko, ker je treba posebej predvideti za čas ulivanja parafina držala za te elemente.The above-mentioned elements located in the paraffin section are also demanding for mounting, especially large-scale ones, since the holders for these elements must be specially designed for the time of pouring of the paraffin.

Zaradi elektronskega elementa in napajalnega vira v parafinskem delu sveče se nahaja težišče sveče višje kot pri parafinski sveči, zato se pojavlja omejitev najmanjše debeline sveče zaradi zagotovitve stabilnosti, ker je potrebno upoštevati tudi veter, saj so take sveče prednostno predvidene za uporabo na prostem.Due to the electronic element and the power source in the paraffin part of the candle, the center of gravity of the candle is higher than that of the paraffin candle, so a minimum thickness of the candle is provided to ensure stability, since it is also necessary to consider the wind, since such candles are preferably intended for outdoor use.

Rešitev tehničnega problemaThe solution to a technical problem

Opisani tehnični problem je rešen po izumu tako, da je v dnu ohišja sveče izvedeno ležišče napajalnega vira in elektronskega elementa z opcijskim stikalom, od koder poteka električni vodnik v svečo iz parafina, v kateri je nameščen svetlobni vir. Dostop do napajalnega vira je prednostno ss podnje strani ohišja z odstranitvijo pokrova, na tem mestu je lahko nameščeno tudiThe described technical problem is solved according to the invention so that in the bottom of the candle housing there is a bed of the power source and an electronic element with an optional switch, from where the electrical conductor goes into the paraffin candle in which the light source is installed. Access to the power source is preferably from the underside of the housing by removing the cover, this location may also be installed

28729.doc/ll-03/D-32 Vr stikalo, vendar je prednostni izvedbi stikalo izločeno zaradi znižanja cene izdelka. Vklop oziroma izklop sveče je predviden z vstavitvijo oziroma odstranitvijo napajalnega vira.28729.doc / ll-03 / D-32 Vr switch, but the preferred embodiment of the switch is eliminated due to the decrease in the price of the product. Switching the candle on or off is provided by inserting or removing the power source.

Podrobneje bo bistvo izuma pojasnjeno v nadaljevanju z opisom izvedbenega primera in priložene risbe, na katerih kaže sl. 1 vzdolžni prerez sveče po izumu.The essence of the invention will be explained in more detail below with a description of an embodiment and the accompanying drawings, in which FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section of a candle according to the invention.

Ohišje 1 je oblikovano poljubno in izvedeno iz vsaj delno prosojnega materiala, oziroma s svetlobnimi odprtinami, ki niso prikazane na sliki. V spodnjem delu ohišja 1 je nameščeno ležišče 2 napajalnega vira 3, prednostno tako, da zapira ohišje kot dno. Napajalni vir 3 je namestljiv v ležišče 2 s spodnje strani. Prednostno je ležišče 2 zaprto s pokrovom 10 oziroma dnom. V ležišču 2 je nameščen tudi elektronski element 6 poljubne znane izvedbe.The housing 1 is formed in any shape and is made of at least partially translucent material, or with apertures not shown in the figure. In the lower part of the housing 1 is located the bed 2 of the power source 3, preferably by closing the housing as the bottom. The power source 3 is adjustable in the lower bay 2. Preferably, the bed 2 is closed with a lid 10 or a bottom. An electronic element 6 of any known embodiment is also provided in the bay 2.

Ležišče 2 je prednostno tako izvedeno, da naseda v ohišje samo na ozkem spodnjem pasu, prednostno tesno, na preostalem delu pa je med ohišjem 1 in ležiščem 2 prostor 11.Preferably, the bearing 2 is arranged in such a way that the housing in the housing is only in the narrow lower belt, preferably tight, and there is space 11 on the rest of the housing between the housing 1 and the bed 2.

Iz ležišča 2 izhaja v notranji prostor 12 znotraj ohišja 1 tokovodnik 5 s svetlobnim telesom 7.From the bed 2 flows into the inner space 12 inside the housing 1, a conductor 5 with a light body 7.

Prostor 12 v ohišju je delno zapolnjen s parafinom sveče 8 in sicer tako, da obdaja ležišče 2 ob strani in na vrhu in tako, da iz njega izhaja svetlobno telo 7.The space 12 in the housing is partially filled with paraffin candle 8, such that it surrounds the bed 2 at the side and at the top and so that the light body 7 is emitted from it.

28729.doc/ll-03/D-32-Vr28729.doc / ll-03 / D-32-Vr

S tem je ležišče 2 v celoti zakrito in skozi ohišje sta vidna samo parafinski del sveče 8 in svetlobno telo 7.In this way, the bed 2 is completely obscured and only the paraffin part of the candle 8 and the light body 7 are visible through the housing.

Električno vezje je poljubno in znano. Po potrebi je lahko v vezju vključeno tudi stikalo, kar ne vpliva na bistvo izuma. Tudi različne izvedbe sveče po izumu v smislu industrijskega dizajna ne spreminjajo vsebine izuma, kot je opredeljeno v sledečih patentnih zahtevkih.The electrical circuit is arbitrary and known. If necessary, a switch may be included in the circuit, which does not affect the essence of the invention. Also, various embodiments of the candle according to the invention in terms of industrial design do not alter the content of the invention as defined in the following claims.
