OBJECT OF THE INVENTION AND TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The object of the present invention consists of a decorative motif support, for advertising
or artistic purposes, with its own lighting, used for embellishment or decoration,
both indoors and outdoors, especially suitable for use at parties and events, such
as be Christmas motifs or the like.
[0002] The support comprises a motif that can be visually perceived in an outdoor environment,
both during the day, only with natural light, with the lighting included in said support
turned off, and at night, with the internal lighting on, which illuminates the motif
from inside, highlighting the colors and letting the light out of the motif.
[0003] The invention falls within the industrial sector of structures that support decorative
motifs, such as supports for Christmas, festive, fair-related, or advertising motifs,
and more specifically in supports for this purpose, consisting of illuminated openworked
cladding sheets.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] In the industrial sector of supports for decorative or advertising motifs, as well
as those that can be used to decorate and/or illuminate environments during the holidays,
such as Christmas, there is a large number of elements, components, configurations
and systems intended both for fastening as well as for providing different types of
decorations, depending on the motif to be displayed.
[0005] In recent years, research and development in this sector has been aimed at reducing
the cost of the electrical energy required to illuminate such motifs, as well as limiting
the light pollution generated during their use, while at the same time providing an
attractive, ring-catching finish that is attractive to the user.
[0006] For example, in the case of decorative supports for advertising motifs, which can
be hung from a structural element, such as a wall, the lighting may be intended to
be prevented in a higher vertical direction, in order to prevent it from affecting
the common development of the environment where these supports are installed.
[0007] On the other hand, a smaller number of lighting elements, such as light bulbs or
LEDs, is also intended to be used in the sector to generate an appearance similar
to the currently existing supports with decorative motifs, but with less electricity
consumption, thereby reducing the electrical energy expenditure, especially in times
of high consumption.
[0008] It is also an objective of the sector to reduce the costs of material, manufacturing,
such as reducing the pollution generated during its manufacture, limiting the waste
produced, extending the useful life of the manufactured product, reducing the generation
of polluting gases.
[0009] Among the existing systems on the market, the one described in the document
ES2646912B2 stands out, where a decorative and/or advertising support is defined for decorating
outdoors at parties and events, as well as
ES2639113A1, which describes improvements in said support, which can be used both indoors and
outdoors. The problem with these systems is that the electricity consumption required
to provide a suitable view of the subject for the user is very high, generating an
excess of light pollution.
[0010] In this way, the main drawback that underlies supports known to be traditional is
that of light pollution, requiring the user to reduce or adjust it so that the lighting
is directed towards the subject itself, instead of illuminating an exterior that can
generate a visual alteration of the environment, being as respectful as possible with
the environment.
[0011] For this reason, the purpose of the support described below is to reduce this light
pollution as well as to reduce the energy consumption required to display the supported
motif.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] The present invention relates to a decorative support that is especially suitable
for decorating or adorning outdoor urban spaces, as well as indoor spaces, replacing
the conventional lighting decoration such as that used during the Christmas holidays.
[0013] Thus, the invention comprises a decorative motif support comprising:
- two cladding sheets, which are preferably opaque, wherein at least one of said sheets
comprises a through opening;
- two intermediate layers each arranged overlapping an internal face of a cladding sheet,
wherein at least one of said intermediate layers is enveloping, or covering, the at
least one internal through opening of the cladding sheet with which it overlaps;
- at least one attachment element configured to connect the two cladding sheets and
the two intermediate layers in a single rigid framework which comprises a sandwich
structure;
- a lighting element located inside the rigid framework, between the two intermediate
layers; and
- a bead comprising an opaque section;
wherein the bead occupies a section located in the space between the two intermediate
layers, in a perimeter area of said intermediate layers, and wherein the opaque section
of said bead is configured to block the passage of light generated by the lighting
element from inside the framework to outside said framework; and wherein the lighting
element is fixed to the framework by the at least one attachment element.
[0014] A through opening should be understood as a hole passing through a cladding sheet,
in such a way that said sheets can have a frame configuration, and in other configurations,
an openwork silhouette, that is, with a plurality of openings.
[0015] In the event that the cladding sheet comprises more than one through opening, the
intermediate layer can cover all the openings, or only some of them.
[0016] Preferably, although it can be connected to the lighting element, the bead must be
separated by a small distance to avoid possible heating.
[0017] Regarding the two cladding sheets included in the support, they are preferably flat,
although in other embodiments they can be curved, depending on the needs and design
criteria.
[0018] When said sheets are flat, one of the sheets can be referred to as the front and
the other as the back, depending on the point of view from which the support is observed
by the user, although, preferably, both sheets of the support are the same. That is,
preferably, both comprise the same size, shape and thickness, also comprising the
same design, with the same internal through opening or openings.
[0019] In another embodiment, and as indicated above, the cladding sheets can be curved,
comprising the same center of curvature, so that one of the sheets must have a size
(radius) somewhat smaller than the other for a proper fit of the framework to be suitable.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, both sheets, regardless of their shape, are made of a
rigid plastic material, specifically a biodegradable plastic material, especially
suitable for providing structural support to the rest of the components of the support,
resistant to external conditions where the support is installed.
[0021] In one embodiment, one or both of the cladding sheets comprise two or more openworks,
consisting of a drawing based on perforations, openings or through holes, which form
a design in said sheets. As these sheets are cladded or covered, internally, by a
corresponding intermediate layer, and each of said intermediate layers may be colored
with a drawing or decorative illustration, the assembly formed by the covering sheets
with openwork, together with the colored intermediate layers, make up the decorative
element of the support, which can be viewed with natural light or by means of the
lighting element between the two intermediate layers of the support.
[0022] Preferably, both cladding sheets comprise the same openworks, and have a surface
similar to the intermediate layers to which they are fixed, both intermediate layers
having the same drawing, or the same illustration, so that the display of the decorative
motif support is identical, both from the front and from the back.
[0023] The rigid framework formed by the cladding sheets and the intermediate layers, attached
by at least one joining element, lacks a structural frame or skeleton like the one
that the supports mentioned in the background had, since said frame was not necessary
to form a rigid structure, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost as well as the
generation of waste in said manufacturing and recycling of the support.
[0024] The fact that the framework is rigid means that its components are rigidly attached
to one another, forming a single assembly or module that can be easily handled as
a single piece, without implying that the framework is non-deformable when subjected
to stress.
[0025] The opaque section of the bead, when said bead is located between the two intermediate
layers, allows to greatly reduce, or completely avoid, the output of light generated
by the lighting element towards the outside of the rigid framework, in an undesired
direction, or in all directions, allowing said light to focus on illuminating the
decorative motif, which greatly reduces the necessary electrical expenditure, compared
to a support that does not include the opaque section of said bead.
[0026] For example, the opaque section of the beading can be partially positioned, such
as in the upper middle area, to allow the output of light in some direction, such
as downwards, or around the entire perimeter of the framework, to completely limit
the output of light from inside the framework to the outside, other than to illuminate
the decorative motif.
[0027] In the same way, in another embodiment, the bead can have, in addition to the opaque
section, a section comprised of a transparent or translucent material, to allow the
passage of the light beam generated by the lighting element towards the outside of
the framework, in a specific area of said rigid framework, but providing the structural
security provided by the bead inside the rigid framework, as it is located between
the intermediate layers.
[0028] Preferably, the opaque section of the bead is only located in an upper middle area
of the framework, to prevent the output of light in said direction, regardless of
whether it occurs in other directions. In other words, the bead works as a cover,
so that the incidence of the light generated by the lighting element is inwards, avoiding
light pollution from the upper part of the motif, which is a great advantage over
to supports described in the background.
[0029] The rigid framework, which comprises a sandwich structure, can have a flat rectangular
basic shape if the cladding sheets are rectangular, but it can also have different
shapes, depending on design conditions and needs. It may not even be flat if design
conditions require it.
[0030] In one embodiment, the bead comprises at least one adjustable longitudinal cavity,
preferably adjustable by clamping, to one of the cladding sheets. Preferably, said
bead comprises two adjustable longitudinal cavities, also preferably adjustable by
clamping, to each of the two cladding sheets of the frame, each of said cavities being
located at opposite ends of the cross section; wherein said two longitudinal cavities
are separated by a longitudinal channel where the lighting element is located.
[0031] Preferably, the lighting element(s) are mechanically fitted between the two cladding
sheets, which avoids the need to use plastic zip ties. In other words, the fixing
elements can be held by clamping or by other similar systems, between the two sheets.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the cladding sheet has an approximate thickness of 4 mm
and is cut by a milling machine, which can also make the openwork.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, at least one intermediate layer comprises a mesh configured
to allow air to pass therethrough. In other words, given that the support can be installed
outdoors, it is possible that a large amount of wind can affect said support and to
avoid possible damage, these intermediate layers, which comprise or are made up of
meshes, can allow said wind to flow therethrough, making the support especially suitable
for outdoors in this embodiment.
[0034] These meshes can be made of metal or plastic as well as other materials suitable
for the use described. They are preferably flexible and can be painted, colored or
include a drawing that forms a design with the openings or openwork of the sheets.
In other words, preferably, each of the meshes comprises a drawing or painted illustration
which, combined with the openwork of the sheets, comprise the decorative motif.
[0035] In one embodiment, the support comprises a support means configured to fix the framework
to an external structural element, such as a wall or a structural element such as
a beam or post.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the support means comprises an upper profile, which is
preferably metallic, at least two rigid rods, which are also preferably metallic,
connected to the upper profile by an upper end part of said rigid rods and to the
rigid framework by a lower end part.
[0037] In this way, only a small-sized profile is needed as a support to place (or hang)
it where desired, and said upper profile can be, for example, a hollow, rectangular
and elongated metal bar.
[0038] In one embodiment, the support comprises displacement means located on the upper
profile, configured to displace the framework with respect to said upper profile in
a longitudinal direction. This displacement means makes it easier for the user to
transport the rigid framework and may comprise rolling elements such as wheels or
bearings located in an upper part of the support.
[0039] In one embodiment, the support comprises at least one lifting ring connected to the
upper profile, and is configured to fix the support to the outer structural element.
[0040] In one embodiment, the upper profile comprises a leveling element configured to check
the horizontality or verticality of said upper profile, which facilitates its assembly
for the user. In a preferred embodiment, said level contains water.
[0041] In another embodiment, the decorative motif support can comprise or form part of
furniture or a structural element, such as a table or a window that includes a decorative
motif. In other words, this support can be used as a table, if it is placed in a horizontal
position, including bearing means, as well as an element for closing gaps, such as
windows, since its configuration in the form of layers and sheets lends itself to
this.
[0042] In one embodiment, the lighting element comprises a strip or band with a plurality
of LEDs, and is arranged in a perimeter area of the space between the two intermediate
layers. This LED strip can be guided by plastic spacers that are used to thicken the
rigid framework.
[0043] In one embodiment, the support comprises a waterproof electrical connection box,
wherein said waterproof box is connected to the lighting element. The electrical installation
requires an electrical connection box for each support, which houses the connection
of the light strip and its rectifier, and from which the power supply hose of the
lighting element comes out. The inlets and outlets for cables in said watertight box
are made through cable glands integrated in it, and in which the grounding connection
attached to the metal profile is incorporated.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, each of the cladding sheets is attached to a respective
intermediate layer by means of a mechanical fixing element such as a clamp, tack,
glue, etc., depending on the design, size of the element and its place of exposure.
[0045] Another part of the invention comprises a system comprising a plurality of rigid
frameworks, as defined in the previous embodiments, wherein said frameworks are arranged
to form a compact structure, as said frameworks are attached to each other. For example,
said structure can form a tunnel with a set of curved frameworks, arranged for this
purpose, or form a cube, with 6 flat frameworks arranged orthogonally.
[0046] The support described in the previous embodiments solves several problems that affect
conventional indoor and outdoor decoration normally used at the holidays or on special
occasions, in which a profile that is drawn with tubes, with or without filling, is
used, where said filling is a string with LEDs in which, when illuminated, the light
points of said LEDs shine, being designed for viewing exclusively at night, which
is the only time they fulfill their decorative and entertaining function of the party
or event. This conventional decoration has the following drawbacks:
- It only works at night, offering a blurred and non-decorative view during the day.
- It does not allow much decorative and chromatic play even when illuminated, since
the luminous tubes making up the figures do not offer as many possibilities for decoration
as the intermediate layer, which can be painted like an oil painting, although without
covering the grid to let the wind pass, and as for the color, it is necessary to stick
to the basic colors of the LEDs, without allowing the color palette that the invention
admits.
[0047] Given that the support can comprise a mesh next to the opening or the openwork of
the sheets, this mesh offers, on the one hand, the possibility of painting it as one
can paint an oil painting, with the only exception of leaving the pores of the mesh
so that the wind can flow and thus compensate for its resistance to the wind, that
is, it lends itself to a more complete decoration while at the same time not offering
resistance to the wind.
- Due to the lightness of the materials, it is appropriate to hang it on streets and
in squares, without reducing its resistance.
- Unlike conventional luminous exterior decorations, which hardly offer a range of colors
but rather stick to the basics, that is, to the colors of the LEDs, the invention
described offers the possibility of choosing any color, even allowing the degradation
and fusion of colors, acting as a canvas where you can paint artistically or even
use a printer to transfer the graphic.
- Since the LEDs can be fixed to the edge of the framework and oriented towards the
mesh, the mesh is lit up at night with the full intensity and reflection of the LEDs,
being bathed in light.
- During the day, without internal lighting, the decoration is shown in all its chromatic
and graphic richness, with the only imperceptible handicap being that the porous part
of the mesh remains unpainted, which does not diminish its decorative function.
- Compared to the juxtaposition of LED lamps to form the filling of the figures that
the conventional embodiment carries out, the described invention advantageously solves
the filling of said figures by including the mesh, with the consequent saving of electrical
material and manpower since that cumbersome installation in which the LED string must
be restrained with zip ties, arranging its corresponding electrical connections, is
not necessary.
- This same invention can serve as an advertising support.

PREFERRED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0050] As can be interpreted from the figures, especially Figures 1 and 2, the preferred
invention consists of a decorative motif support comprising a rigid framework, which
in turn comprises two flat cladding sheets (1), located on the sides opposite sides
of the framework, wherein each of said cladding sheets (1) has at least one internal
through opening. However, in another embodiment, said cladding sheets (1) have openwork
consisting of a plurality of perforations or through openings that form a decorative
structure.
[0051] In addition to the cladding sheets (1), the rigid framework comprises two translucent
intermediate layers (2), preferably in the form of meshes, each one of them attached
to one of the cladding sheets (1) on an inner surface of said sheets (1), covering
the at least one internal through opening of the cladding sheets (1).
[0052] These intermediate layers (2) may comprise a drawing or a painting that may or may
not be combined with the openwork of the cladding sheets (1), so that, either individually
or in combination, they form a decorative motif.
[0053] To fix or connect said parts, the framework comprises at least one attachment element
(10) that connects the two cladding sheets (1) and the two intermediate layers (2)
in a single assembly that forms the rigid framework, with one element lighting (3)
in the form of a strip of LEDs between the two intermediate layers (2), fixed to the
cladding sheets (1) together with a bead (9).
[0054] As can be seen in figure 1, the bead (9) comprises an opaque section (93) (represented
in said figure 1 by a gray color) located only in an upper middle area or perimeter
of the rigid framework, between the two meshes, for the purpose of blocking the output
of light generated by the lighting element (3) from an internal area of the framework
only towards the upper exterior of said framework. In this way, and preferably, that
opaque section (93) of the bead (9) causes the light generated to be directed towards
the decorative motif and towards a lower outer part of the framework, thereby reducing
light pollution and improving energy efficiency by directing the light towards the
desired designed area. As can also be seen in said Figure 1, the bead (9) comprises
a transparent or translucent section (94) in a lower part which provides structural
security to the support but allows the output of light from the inside to the outside
of the framework.
[0055] As can be seen in Figures 2A and 2B, the compact rigid framework comprises a symmetrical
sandwich structure, with the lighting element (3) in the center, located in the space
between the two intermediate layers (2) in the form of meshes, in an inner area of
the rigid framework, wherein the two meshes are each arranged on an inner surface,
on each side of the lighting element (3).
[0056] As a result of the meshes, a decorative design can be displayed as if it were an
illuminated canvas which is not affected by the wind. In other words, the decorative
support can be placed outdoors, and in the event that there is a wind that affects
the rigid framework perpendicularly, this wind can pass through the opening or openings
of the cladding sheets (1) as well as the meshes themselves that are drawn on or colored.
[0057] These meshes are preferably made of a metallic material to provide suitable structural
stability to the defined framework, although they can be made of other light materials
that are resistant to the bad weather to which they may be subjected outdoors. They
comprise a mesh density suitable for the purpose described. That is, it allows air
to pass therethrough, without hindering its passage.
[0058] Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the configuration of a bead (9). As can be seen from
said Figure 3, the bead (9) is not in direct contact with the lighting element (3)
since overheating can affect the characteristics of the bead (9). This bead (9), either
in its opaque section (93) or in its transparent or translucent section (94), has
a U-shaped cross section comprising two adjustable longitudinal cavities (91) which
are adjustable by clamping, to each of the two cladding sheets (1) of the framework,
and are separated by a central longitudinal channel (92) where the lighting element
(3) is located.
[0059] Figure 3 also shows the direction of the light beam (11) generated by the lighting
element (3) towards the inside of the rigid framework, in a lower direction, and the
position of the bead (9) preventing the output of said beam (11) in an upward or upper
direction.
[0060] To fix the decorative motif support to an outdoor structural element, such as a wall,
beam, or even a cable, this support comprises a support means that comprises an upper
metal profile (5) and at least two rigid rods (4) which are also metallic. In Figures
1 and 2 it can be seen that the rods (4) are connected to the upper profile (5) by
an upper end portion of said rigid rods (4) and to the rigid framework by a lower
end portion. Specifically, the rigid rods (4) are connected to the attachment elements
of the framework.
[0061] The upper profile (5) is connected to a pair of lifting rings (6) which allow the
fixing of the frame support to the outdoor structural element by means of mechanical
elements. In order for said upper profile (5) to be well leveled, it comprises a leveling
element (7) containing water, which allows the user to ensure its horizontal position.
[0062] As the decorative motif support comprises an electrical consumption element, such
as the lighting element (3) based on a strip of LEDs, and as it is suitable for installation
outdoors, the support also comprises a waterproof electrical connection box (8) for
the electrical connection to the lighting element (3), which allows powering and controlling
the electronic operation of each support individually in the event that there is more
than one support connected to others.
[0063] As shown in Figures 5A and 5B, the rigid frameworks can be arranged in different
ways to form a compact structure, said frameworks being rigidly attached by fixing
means.
[0064] Given that the shape and composition of the rigid frameworks allow it, since they
can comprise both flat and curved cladding sheets, a plurality of frameworks can comprise
a system having different shapes, comprising a structure of rigidly fixed frameworks.
TESTS
[0065] The following section shows two tests carried out on two decorative motif supports
that comprise a similar graphic design, as well as the same size, but different elements.
The first of these tests has been carried out on a support with a traditional configuration.
That is, a support that includes a conduit containing LED strips therein in such a
way that said conduit forms a decorative figure, such as a reindeer or a Christmas
tree. The second test has been carried out on a support as described in the first
claim, which comprises the two cladding sheets, two intermediate layers in the form
of mesh, a bead with an opaque section located in an upper part of the framework,
and a lighting element located between the two meshes.
[0066] The following diagrams and tables specify the savings in terms of light pollution
and electrical consumption:
|
Test 1: Traditional motif |
Test 2: New motif |

50-70 |
FHS (Light Pollution) (Lumens) |

2044 |
92.5 % |
[0067] The test has been carried out according to UNE-EN 13032-4:2016+A1:2020 Light and
lighting standard. Measurement and presentation of photometric data of lamps and luminaires
in a photometric tunnel with calibrated instruments, according to an ISO 17025 quality
system
[0068] As can be interpreted from the table above, the new motif entails energy savings
of over 50% compared to the traditional motif, as well as an improvement of more than
92% in the FHS factor relative to the light pollution it projects.
[0069] In other words, once the tests of these two motifs have been analysed, both having
a similar size and graphic design, it can be concluded that the electrical consumption
of the new motif is between 50-70% less than that of the traditional motif. This is
due to the fact that the traditional motif comprises a higher concentration of LEDs
so that it can be viewed by the user, while the claimed support requires fewer LEDs
to show the included motif.
[0070] The same occurs in relation to light pollution, since it can be seen that the claimed
support generates between 90-95% less pollution than the traditional motif. For practical
purposes, it is concluded that the new motif is therefore much more energy efficient
and more respectful of the night environment than the traditional one.
[0071] Figures 4A and 4B show a diagram of the light scattering of test 1 (Figure 4A) and
test 2 (Figure 4B). It can be seen from said diagrams that the described configuration
of the claimed motif generates a much lower light scattering than in test 1.
[0072] This allows a smaller amount of electrical energy to be necessary to generate a similar
lighting effect in the claimed support than in the existing one, with the advantage
that this entails.
