[0001] The technical solution relates to the structural arrangement of "universal LED illuminated
furniture board" designed for use in the furniture industry.
Achievements
[0002] At present advanced installation of fixed lighting in the bathroom, kitchen or office
furniture used conventionally located lighting elements. Lights are mounted to the
side, the ceiling or floor boxes, possibly on the wall cladding panels. If such lighting
act as light area in front of furniture or cabinets to illuminate working board, must
always be handled simultaneously covering lighting fixture protective safety guard.
The solution of such housing is necessary to observe provision of standards for the
safety of electrical equipment. Requirements of these standards generally complicate
the design of furniture with lighting, increase the cost of production significantly
and limit the development of furniture designers.
The essence of the technical solution
[0003] The problems above are eliminated by technical solution of "universal LED illuminated
furniture board". The solution is to use a massive plate of composite wood, MDF (fibreboard),
LTD (laminated chipboard), solid wood or glass with a thickness of at least 12mm.
The surface of this massive slabs are milled from a single slot, or chambers, which
are not deeper than the thickness of solid boards to keep opposite side of the plate
intact and smooth. These grooves and chambers, however, are deep and wide enough to
enable them to be able to place a separate LED or LED-strips. Location of grooves
and the chamber is free to selected product design and the requirement for lighting
performance, however, is limited by the massive flat plates. To connect the LEDs and
LED light strips by electrical cables the different grooves, interconnected channels
are milled in the same area where they are milled grooves and chambers. Them the channels
are milled from the LEDs to the other elements of the lighting system such as switch,
socket, terminal block or transformer. After the mounting grooves LED diode or LED
strips, after lynking the system cables are inserted into the channels and connection
of switches, sockets and other elements of the whole area is covered with a transparent
solid cover plate, which functions as a sealed protective cover. Cover plate is connected
with massive plate by double-sided tape or adhesive sealant, possibly a combination
of both technologies. As cover plate can be used flat glass, semi-transparent, translucent
sheets in different colors, dark flat glass with reduced transmission of light, silver
mirror, which has in place the requirement to remove any bleed through the painted
layer sandblasting or etching technique, a special highly reflective plate glass or
transparent plastic plate.
Pictures on drawings
[0004] A concrete example of a technical solution is shown on the attached drawings, where
Figure 1 shows the front view with a partially exposed surface with visible grooves,
with LED lighting diode and connecting the cable channels, Fig.2 shows the cut in
place with the grooves and canals and Fig.3 is a 3D model of plate with the disintegration
the individual layers.
An example of a technical solution
[0005] Embodiment of universal LED illuminated furniture board to furniture to a massive
plate milled two independent grooves for saving LED light strips, from which it is
straight and one circular. Furthermore, the board milled channels for cables going
from the grooves connector on the back of the
3A and the connector plate
3B in the bottom edge of the board. The grooves are equipped with LED diodes strips
2 and
4 are connected to cable connectors
3A and
3B. Cover plate
5 in this example consists of a silver mirror that has painted layer removed by sanding
technique directly above the groove with LED diodes strips. This feature ensures the
transmission of light through the mirror plate. Cover plate is connected with solid
board by mastic adhesive. In case of mounting hinges
6 to back of board can be hung as a bathroom cabinet mirrored door with self-contained
illumination. In case mounting central hinge
7 a board can be individually mounted on a wall, where it will serve as an illuminated
bathroom mirror.
Industrial applicability
[0006] Assembled compact "universal LED illuminated furniture board" can be installed as
doors in cabinet furniture hung on hinges or struts, can be freely hung on the wall
and used as decorative lighting panel. With mirrored glass as the cover plate can
serve as a Illuminated decorative mirror in living interiors and bathrooms. With tempered
safety glass as the cover plates "Universal LED illuminated furniture board" can be
used as work desk. With colored glass or glass with colored translucent film as a
cover plate can be used as an illuminated plate facing the kitchen. In all these cases
is very advantageous, the rear plate of the "universal LED illuminated furniture board"
is made of solid material, which greatly simplifies the installation and the installation
will utilize the standard market commonly available furniture components and technologies.
LED lighting system is energy efficient and durable, is simply shaped and does not
limit the creativity of designers. The system works in low voltage and is therefore
completely safe.
1. LED illuminated furniture board composed of a massive solid support plate, LED lighting
diods and cover plate is characterized by a massive supporting plate includes at least one groove or chamber, milled from one side of the plate to a depth less
than the thickness of support plate for the placement of LED strips or independent
LEDs and also includes channels milled from the same side of the plate to a depth
less than the power of board for storage of cables.
2. LED illuminated furniture board according to claim 1, characterized in that the front and rear surface of furniture panels are smooth and solid supporting plate
is provided with hinges or mounting.
