Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016150803A1] The invention relates to a signalling apparatus (1) for command and/or reporting devices, comprising a base unit (5) having at least two light sources (2a, 2b, 2c) each for producing light, arranged spaced apart from one another on the base unit (5), and at least two light modules (3a, 3b, 3c), which are stacked along a main axis (A) of the signalling apparatus (1) and are operatively connected to the light sources (2a, 2b, 2c). The light generated by the light sources (2a, 2b, 2c) is coupled into the light modules (3a, 3b, 3c) in a beam direction (R1, R2, R3) parallel to the main axis (A). The light modules (3a, 3b, 3c) each have a reflection region (6a, 6b, 6c) in order to at least partially reflect light coupled into the light modules (3a, 3b, 3c) in a signalling direction (S1, S2, S3). According to the invention, a respective reflection region (6a, 6b, 6c) captures only a partial region (T) of the light modules (3a, 3b, 3c) in the circumferential direction (U) of the corresponding light module (3a, 3b, 3c) perpendicular to the main axis (A) of the signalling apparatus (1), which partial region is smaller than the total circumference of the light modules (3a, 3b, 3c). In addition, a reflection region (6a, 6b, 6c) of a light module (3a, 3b, 3c) is arranged offset relative to a reflection region (6a, 6b, 6c) of another light module (3a, 3b, 3c) at a predetermined angle (W1, W2) perpendicular to the main axis (A). The reflection regions (6a, 6b, 6c) are at the same radial distance (r) from the main axis (A).
