Abstract
Description
- The present description relates to lighting devices.
- One or more embodiments may refer to solid-state lighting devices such as, for example, modules using LED light radiation sources.
- An ever-increasing interest is focusing on lighting devices consisting in modules featuring solid-state light radiation sources, e.g. LEDs, having the ability to change the shape of the module thanks for example to a general flexibility.
- In some implementations, such a module is adapted to be mounted onto a support element (e.g. a mounting surface) by a bi-adhesive tape. In some implementations, the bi-adhesive tape may be provided directly on the back of the module.
- This solution may involve various disadvantages such as:
- the difficulty in achieving an optimum adhesion between the module and the mounting surface,
- the comparatively low reliability of the adhesive connection, which in time may lead to a detachment,
- the difficulty in installing the module without exerting a pressure on the electronic components thereof,
- the virtual impossibility to move the module after it has been installed.
- One way to omit the use of a bi-adhesive tape and to avoid incurring in the previously outlined drawbacks may consist in using external supports. However, this solution may require a longer mounting time, and may involve the risk of fixing the module only in some points and not in others.
- For this reason the use of an external support is not widespread.
- One or more embodiments aim at overcoming the previously outlined drawbacks.
- According to one or more embodiments, said object is achieved thanks to a device having the features specifically set forth in the claims that follow.
- One or more embodiments may refer to a corresponding method.
- The claims are an integral part of the technical teaching provided herein with reference to the embodiments.
- One or more embodiments lead to one or more of the following advantages:
- possibility of installing the device, e.g. a flex LED module, in an easy way, without the need of a bi-adhesive tape,
- optimum contact between the device and the support,
- it is unnecessary to press on the device in order to install it, and
- possibility of removing and re-installing the device in another position.
- One or more embodiments will be described, by way of non-limiting example only, with reference to the enclosed figures, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a lighting device to which one or more embodiments may be applied, -
Figure 2 exemplifies one or more embodiments, -
Figure 3 exemplifies one or more embodiments, and -
Figure 4 shows possible use of embodiments. - It will be appreciated that, for a better clarity of illustration, the visible parts in the Figures may not be necessarily drawn to scale.
- In the following description, numerous specific details are given to provide a thorough understanding of one or more exemplary embodiments. The embodiments may be practiced without one or several specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, materials or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of the embodiments. Reference throughout this specification to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the possible appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
- The headings provided herein are for convenience only and therefore do not interpret the scope or meaning of the embodiments.
-
Figure 1 generally shows a lighting module including an optionally flexible strip-like substrate 10 (substantially in the form of a Printed Circuit Board, PCB). - On
substrate 10 there can be mounted one or more electrically poweredlight radiation sources 12, which for example may consist of solid-state lighting sources, e.g. employing LEDs. - The module exemplified in
Figure 1 belongs to a wide range of lighting sources of a known type. The structural features, the implementations and the applications of such lighting sources are to be considered as known, and therefore they do not require a detailed description herein. - One or more embodiments aim at enabling the installation of such a
lighting source - In one or more embodiments, the surface of support S may simply consist of a plate or sheet of metal material.
- One or more embodiments may employ a different support S, e.g. of a material which in itself does not have magnetic properties but which includes, in the form of dust or inserts, formations of magnetically attractable material.
- One or more embodiments aim at enabling the attachment (and the removal) of a lighting source such as
source - In one or more embodiments, as exemplified in
Figure 2 , this result may be achieved by associating tolighting source 10, 12 aprofile element 14 having a channel-like structure, i.e. a generally U-shaped section, with a bottom orcore wall 14a from whichside walls 14b extend. - In this way,
substrate 10 with electrically poweredlight radiation sources 12 mounted thereon may be received in theprofile element 14, thesources 12 facing the open side (that is the mouth part) ofprofile 14. - This is schematically shown in
Figure 2 , wherein the profile oflighting source - In one or more embodiments, on the
lighting source profile 14, there may be applied a potting material which is transparent to light radiation, so that thelighting source - In one or more embodiments,
profile 14, e.g. the bottom orcore wall 14a, may be associated with formations of magnetic material, i.e. a material which may generate a magnetic attractive force towards a magnetically attractable material (e.g. a support such as previously mentioned support S). - As exemplified in
Figure 2 , in one ormore embodiments formations 16 may consist of one or more strips coextensive withprofile 14. - In one or more embodiments, strip(s) may be produced together with
profile 14, for example in a process of (co)extrusion. - In one or more embodiments,
profile 14 may be implemented in a flexible material, such as a silicone material. - In one or more embodiments, the strip(s) 16 may be embedded in profile 14 (optionally at
bottom wall 14a, or possibly in one or bothside walls 14b) as strips of a magnetic material, such as magnetite or ferrite. - In one or more embodiments, such a magnetic material may be embedded in
profile 14 as a particulate material (e.g. a ferrite dust) distributed intoprofile 14 itself. - In one or more embodiments, the lighting device thus obtained (
substrate 10,sources 12, profile 14) is adapted to be mounted on substrate S and may be retained thereon thanks to the magnetic attraction force present betweenformations 16 included inprofile 14 and the magnetically attractable material which is comprised in support S. -
Figure 3 exemplifies one or more embodiments wherein the possibility of (removable) mounting on a support S is achieved thanks to a force of magnetic attraction, which in this case is obtained viamagnets 18 mounted onsubstrate 10. - In one or more embodiments,
magnets 18 may be mounted ontosubstrate 10 on the same face of the substrate wherein thelight radiation sources 12 are arranged. - In one or various embodiments, the mounting of
magnets 18 may be achieved by resorting to technologies currently employed to mount onsubstrate 10 the light radiation sources 12 (or possibly the electronic circuitry, not visible in the drawings, which may be associated with such sources). - In one or more embodiments,
magnets 18 may be mounted onsubstrate 10 as SMD (Surface Mounted Device) components. - One or more embodiments, therefore, enable to achieve the effect exemplified in
Figure 4 , thanks to the possibility of mountinglighting source - In one or more embodiments, as exemplified in
Figure 2 , this result may be achieved thanks to themagnetic formations 16 associated to profile 14 (the section whereof is schematically shown with dashed lines inFigure 4 ), thus with alighting source - In one or several embodiments, as exemplified in
Figure 3 , this result may be achieved via magnets 18 (the profile of which is schematically shown with a dashed line inFigure 4 ), which makes it possible to mountlighting source - This is achieved while keeping, in one or more embodiments, the general flexibility of the overall device.
- Of course, without prejudice to the basic principle, the embodiments and the implementation details may vary, even appreciably, with respect to what has been described herein by way of non-limiting example only, without departing from the extent of the invention.
