Decorative or Advertising Object with Light Effect especially Balloon or Inflatable.

Technology Field

The submitted solution deals with a decorative, advertising or illuminative object, in particular with various balloons, inflatable objects, etc., with new arrangement and special optical effect.

Existing Conditions of Technology

Currently, we know various decorative, advertising, illuminative or for artistic purposes produced objects, balloons, airships of inflatable objects. As the submitted solution is advantageous for balloons and inflatable objects in particular, the existing conditions of technology described below will be related to these types of objects. Basic pressured body of such inflatable objects is made of synthetic textile materials, rubber or rubber-coated textiles. These may be completed with a light source located inside the body where the light protrudes through the material, or outside the body where the light reflects from its surface. Disadvantage of the mentioned materials is their permeability for gases and, except for rubber, their high cost. Disadvantage from the illumination point of view is the fact that considerable portion of light is absorbed by the material itself. For this reason, the bodies made of these materials shine indistinctly, or high-power source must be used, such as illuminating balloons used in the movie making industry. This causes multiple issues with heat dissipation, or possibly with power supply.

Further, we know balloons or inflatable structures manufactured not for commercial but for scientific or special purposes, made of transparent, milky or metal-coated plastic foil, which are not illuminated and are used especially for experimental purposes, for instance as carriers of various probes.

Principle of the Invention

Disadvantages mentioned above are removed by a decorative or advertising object with special optical effect, in particular balloon or inflatable object, which contains a light source according to the presented solution. Its principle is such that the object is formed by at least one three-dimensional enclosed basic body of arbitrary size and shape, made of transparent material and fitted with a reflective layer with the characteristics of a semi-transparent mirror at least on part of the inner and/or outer surface of its envelope. Reflectance of such reflective layer is within the limits from 0.1% up to 99.9%, advantageously from 70% to 99.9%. Minimum one light source is located in the space inside of this basic body and/or on its inner and/or its outer surface of its envelope.

In one possible arrangement the basic body is embedded inside outer body of arbitrary shape where such outer body is made of transparent material.

Other modification is that inside the basic body and/or on its inner and/or its outer surface of its envelope is located at least one other element or body and/or at least one group of minimum two more elements or bodies composed inside each other arbitrarily. Such other elements or bodies may be made of arbitrary material and, also, they may have arbitrary shapes, such as various geometric shapes or logos, etc. Alternative to this arrangement is that at least one other element or body is made of transparent material where at least part of the outer and/or inner surface of the other element or body is fitted with the reflective layer with characteristics of a semi-transparent mirror and with reflectance within the limits from 0.1% up to 99.9%, advantageously from 70% to 99.9%.

Envelope of the basic body and/or any of other elements or bodies may also be fitted with at least one cavity and/or at least one bulge and/or at least one non- enclosed element and/or at least one structure formed inwards to the basic body and/or inwards to any of the other elements or bodies entering by the cavity and

following at the same place from the outside by bulge made of transparent material and/or at least one group of minimum two cavities and/or bulges and/or structures arbitrarily arranged towards each other and made of transparent material. At least part of the inner and/or outer surface of any or all mentioned elements' or bodies' envelope is fitted with reflective layer with the characteristics of a semi-transparent mirror and with reflectance within the limits from 0.1% up to 99.9%, advantageously from 70% to 99.9%. The cavity, bulge, structure and non-enclosed element may have arbitrary shape and size in relation to the basic body.

Another alternative is an arrangement where the reflective layer of the basic body and/or any of the elements or bodies, cavities, bulges, non-enclosed elements or structures has varied reflectance in arbitrary area.

Another possible arrangement is such where at least part of the outer and/or inner surface of envelope of the basic body and/or any of the elements or bodies, cavities, bulges, non-enclosed elements or structures is created in a form of matrix according to selected model, for instance a photograph. Remaining points or areas of the reflective layer thus correspond with dark points or areas of the model. Such matrix is covered in arbitrary order by a layer of colour filter located at least at places where the reflective layer is removed and/or by a diffusion layer and/or absolutely opaque layer. These individual layers overlap each other at least partially.

At least one light source may be located inside and/or on outer and/or on inner surface of the envelope of any other elements or bodies, cavities, bulges or non- enclosed structures. These light sources may be sources with light intensity varying in time and/or with varying wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.

Basic body may also have the shape of a tube with arbitrary diameter and section with maximum possible reflectance of the reflective layer in most of its length serving as a light conductor, which may be energetically loaded to high extent.

The light source may also be formed by concentrated sunlight or daylight, which may be conducted to the advertising or illuminative body located e.g. underground by light conductor created as described.

Transparent material of the basic body and/or outer body and/or at least one other element or body and/or cavity and/or bulge and/or non-enclosed element and/or structures may also be arbitrarily coloured and/or at least on part of its outer and/or inner surface of envelope matted flexible foil made of plastic, advantageously of plastics from the group containing polypropylene, polyester, bi-axially oriented polyester or polyethylene.

Basic body and/or outer body and/or at least one other element or body and/or cavity and/or bulge and/or structure are, in case of balloons or inflatable objects, designed to allow filling with gas or air with equal or different pressure.

Main advantage of the new solution consists in design. Even the basic version, i.e. a body made of metal-coated foil with light source located inside, offers interesting optical impression of a mass glowing from its whole volume, which is simultaneously also quasi-transparent. When a screen is used, the light source itself, even otherwise minimum visible, cannot be seen at all from most angles. The body radiates light as if from its whole inner volume almost uniformly.

Significant advantage of the presented solution also is that it allows considerable independence of mechanical and optical characteristics of the object. By utilizing this solution it is possible within a single gastight envelope to create almost arbitrarily shaped and rather complex structures, which may transfer from the outside of the body to its inside and vice versa. By choice of the reflective layer's reflectance it is possible to achieve other optical effects. Light sources may be located anywhere both inside as well as on the inner or outer surface of the body's envelope. The solution allows for countless number of options to reach the intended final impression.

When used for illumination, the advantage consists in the possibility to distribute light from a single source to different places and, by choice of the reflective layer's reflectance and other described elements, to create rather complex illumination. In addition, at the light's release point, which may be very distant from the source itself, no danger of explosion or injury caused by electric current is created.

When illuminating a decorative object, especially a balloon or inflatable object, created as described, the losses of light energy are very low, caused only by absorption of light in the transparent material and reflective layer. This is expedient both with respect to energy saving and to low weight of battery, supply cables or the light source itself in case of objects lighter than air.

Another advantage of the presented solution is that it has practically no demands with respect to the location of the light source. Be the light source placed anywhere inside, the resulting optical effect will be very good and always almost identical. For instance, if the light source is glued onto the side of the basic body or other used element, it eliminates the need to use a structure to fix it in suitable position. Another expedient version is illumination through an aperture where the light source is located outside the basic body, thus allowing placing it only after inflation, easy handling with such light source and elimination of possible problems with its cooling or sealing its supply cables and other advantages.

Created body looks interesting, as if made of metal, even in daily sunlight, i.e. without illumination. When a colour filter is used outside the body, e.g. in a form of a logo, such logo is visible even in daylight.

Another advantage is that when the basic body is inflated and deflated gradually, it is possible to achieve an effect of an increasing and shape-changing glowing mass.

Overview of Figures in Drawings

Various examples of arrangements of a decorative or advertising object with light effect are demonstrated on attached drawings. Fig. 1 shows the basic, simplest arrangement. Fig. 2 to 10 schematically illustrate certain selected versions of arrangements of the decorative or advertising object, mostly in longitudinal sections. Fig. 11 schematically indicates creating the reflective layer arranged in matrix and fig. 12 shows an example of such arrangement. Fig. 13 shows one of possible examples of shaping the basic body by means of inner ribs. Presented figures are merely schematic and used additional elements, such as cavities, bulges, non-enclosed elements, etc., are not in the same scale as the basic body, on which they are applied. These additional elements, for instance cavities, may be either e.g. 3 cm big and placed one next to another along the whole basic body with diameter of 5 m, or it is possible to design only a single cavity with diameter of 1 m in a basic body with diameter of 2 m.

Example of the Invention Application

All examples presented herein are aimed in particular at inflatable, decorative, illuminative or advertising objects, which - in order to keep the drawings' layout simple - are illustrated mostly in a shape of a sphere; however, it is possible to create numberless various other shapes and versions of other additional elements and these may not necessarily always be inflatable objects.

For all arrangements according to the presented solutions the following facts are commonly valid.

Transparent material 1 of the basic body Z may be clear or arbitrarily coloured

flexible foil made of plastic, advantageously of plastics from the group containing polypropylene, polyester, bi-axially oriented polyester or polyethylene. It is also possible to realize an arrangement, applicable with respect to all examples described below, where the transparent material 1 will be matted at least on part of its outer and/or inner surface. Reflective layer 2 may also have at some point maximum possibly achievable reflectance, i.e. zero permeability of light.

Reflective layer 2 may be formed for instance by a layer of arbitrary metal, advantageously of aluminium.

Light sources 6 may be located not only inside the basic body Z or other elements but also they may be attached to inner or outer surface of envelope of the basic body Z or other element, whether in places with reflective layer 2 or without it. Resulting light effect is that owing to the reflective layer 2 the light source 6 is almost invisible and the overall impression may be changed by number and location of light sources 6, their various wavelengths, intensities or modulation methods, by colouring the transparent material 1 or location of reflective layer 2. The whole object glows as if from its whole volume and creates interesting optical effect caused by the fact that most of the light is reflected back from the reflective layer 2, creating a multiple reflection and the light is therefore radiated from every point of inner surface.

Transparent material 1 may also be equipped with other auxiliary, commonly used layers, which allow for instance welding of individual parts of the basic body Z and other additional elements. Similarly, the foil made of transparent material 1 may be equipped with a layer adjusted for printing on the object or it is possible to use multilayer material where, for instance, the reflective layer 2 and the print are protected from both sides by transparent foil, etc.

Any space separated by foil made of transparent material 1 with any other layers may, but may not, be gastight and may, but may not, have the same pressure as the pressure in the basic body Z or in other separated spaces. In different parts of

the body the pressure may be changed in time.

Light source 6 may be, for instance, linear fluorescent tube of any colour, capped fluorescent tubes, discharge lamps of any type, bulbs of any colour, high- luminance LEDs, etc. The source of light may also be concentrated sunlight or daylight. Ideal light source is a source with wide radiation angle, however the resulting effect is good also with directional source. Light source 6 may be located inside or outside optically separated space. It may thus be attached anywhere on the side of the given space and the light protrudes to such space through a kind of an aperture created by removing the reflective layer 2 or other used layers, which will be described below. Each space may also include multiple light sources 6 and their light is then mixed. Light sources 6 may radiate with different wavelengths or intensities and their wavelength or intensity may be arbitrarily modulated, which means they can blink, pulse in the rhythm of music, it is possible to alternately switch on various colours or the wavelength of the light sources may change continuously, etc.

All structures, which will be described below, i.e. basic body Z, cavities A, bulges B, etc., or their parts, may be made of foils of various thickness or various reflectance, or also maximum possibly achievable reflectance, i.e. zero permeability of light, or from a foil without metal layer, also with colour tones, so that each part may radiate with different intensity and colour or may not radiate at all. Structures may be either created as inflatable, where their shape is defined by their envelope and the gas pressure, they may be created by stretching the foil between walls of inflated structure or they may be self-supporting.

Each basic body Z may contain arbitrary number of other bodies or arbitrary shapes containing separate light sources 6. Complete decoration or advertising object may consist of several basic bodies Z, for instance of spheres, cylinders, cubes, etc., which may be connected either directly or e.g. interconnected by a tube of smaller diameter, etc.

Each space may also contain a body made of other material than only from a foil made of transparent material 1 Such body may, but may not, be metal-coated, coated by metal foil and/or it may be painted by reflective, e.g. silver, colour.

It is also possible that any of the used bodies be illuminated also from outside, or alternately from the outside, when it will look like made of metal, and from the inside, when the achieved optical effect will be different.

Another possibility is that the reflective layer 2, formed in most cases by metal coating, is applied only on part of all structures, e.g. on part of a cavity. It is also possible to stick onto the inner or outer side of all structures as well as the basic body Z arbitrary number of various non-enclosed elements K, such as tubes, plates, frusta, letters, etc., or possibly objects made of any material and of arbitrary shapes, which may be metal-coated, coated with metal foil or painted with reflective, e.g. silver, colour.

Light may protrude into any kind of structure also through loopholes of defined sizes with or without colour filter, as stated in description of fig. 7.

For all following figures and relevant descriptions it is valid that the reflective layer 2 may be on all structures, also on basic body Z, applied on outer or inner surface, i.e. from any side of the foil. In majority described examples the reflective layer 2 is illustrated outside, except for fig. 6. The only influence of the reflective layer 2 being outside is that there will be a slight loss of light intensity caused by the light passing through the transparent material 1 instead of reflecting directly on the metal.

Some of possible realizations of a decorative or advertising object according to the presented invention are listed below.

Basic arrangement of a decorative or advertising object is indicated in longitudinal section in fig. 1. It shows basic body Z of spherical shape, which is

created from transparent material 1 fitted here on the most of the area of its outer surface and on part of the area of its inner surface with reflective layer 2 with the characteristics of a semi-transparent mirror and with reflectance within the limits from 0.1% up to 99.9%, advantageously from 70% to 99.9%. In the presented example there are two light sources 6 located inside the space of the basic body Z. When illuminated, it is possible to see "inside", i.e. the whole inner space can be seen, and the optical impression is as if the object radiates light from its whole volume. To certain extent, the optical impression is also as if the body was transparent. In fact, however, the body cannot be seen through, except for cases when there is an intensive light source 6 behind the basic body Z or when the area behind the basic body Z is illuminated by light of high intensity.

Fig. 2 represents a solution where the basic body Z is block-shaped and its complete outer surface of its envelope is fitted with uninterrupted reflective layer 2. Two light sources 6 are located inside the basic body Z, one in the space and the other is placed on the inner surface of this basic body's Z envelope. The whole basic body Z is then placed in the sphere-shaped outer body V, which is made only from the transparent material 1, which again may be differently coloured or matted. When illuminated, this object appears as a shining block embedded inside a faintly glowing glass ball, which is caused by the fact that the transparent material 1 of the outer body V has certain reflectance.

As will be described in following examples, inside the basic body Z and/or on its inner and/or outer surface of its envelope may be located at least one other element or body and/or at least one group of minimum two more elements or bodies composed inside each other arbitrarily and made of arbitrary material and having arbitrary shapes. These may include various logos or geometric shapes, such as tube C, cone F, prism G or baffles H.

Fig. 3 shows an axonometric view on the sphere-shaped basic body Z made of metal-coated foil with indicated, inward-bound cavity A, outward-bound bulge B,

with two tubes C passing through the whole basic body Z and with structure D formed by inward-bound cavity and outward-bound bulge following-up the cavity from the outside at the same place. All such structures may have arbitrary shapes and sizes. For the structure D formed by inward cavity and outward bulge, the cavity and the bulge do not need to be of the same size but they do not even need to be of the same shape and they may be off-set axially from each other. In this case, the bulge B is sphere-shaped and the cavity A is shaped as a cube. This illustration does not indicate light sources because they are not visible in the given view.

Fig. 4 shows longitudinal section of another possible example of arrangement of a decorative or advertising object. Reflective layer 2 is removed from the basic body Z, which is sphere-shaped again, in place where the cavity A, tube C, bulge B and in place common for the structure D formed by a diametrically opposite cavity and bulge are located. Other outer surface of the envelope of the basic body Z following-up the transparent places is fitted with reflective layer 2. Outer surfaces of the envelope of other used elements, i.e. the cavity A, tube C, bulge B and the structure D, are also fitted with reflective layer 2. Two light sources 6 are used here, one is located on the inner non-metal-coated surface of the envelope of the basic body Z and the other is located on the inner non-metal-coated surface of the envelope of the structure D. The figure also indicates by characters Q±, Qg, Q^, p^, ρ^ and g§ that individual parts have different pressures. These pressures may, of course, also be identical. Their value allows to modify final shape of individual parts of the object. In given example, the whole created object shines evenly provided that it uses foil with reflective layer 2 with identical reflectance, except for the structure D cavity/bulge, which shines differently according to the type of used light source 6. From optical standpoint, the object is a single space, except for the structure D cavity/bulge.

Except for the structure D inner cavity/outer bulge, the whole object may glow using only one light source 6 located anywhere inside the basic body Z. Optical impression is such as if the glowing mass, the same as in the simplest case

according to the fig. 1, was bulged out, caved in, i.e. arched inwards, or deformed in any other way. Tube C looks like an opening through the whole glowing mass, it means it is possible to see objects behind the basic body Z. Tube C, owing to its metal-coated surface, glows also to its inner space. Structure D looks like a body embedded into the basic body Z. It is also posible to see inside it when looking from the front. From side view and depending on the light intensity inside this structure D in the basic body Z, it will appear either as a mirror glossy cave-in to the basic body Z and glowing bulge B or as glowing cavity A together with bulge B. At certain light intensity inside this structure, this structure will almost disappear from the side view, and from the front view it will appear only as a bulge B. This may create interesting impression as if this structure was disappearing in a certain way.

Fig. 5 shows a case where all spaces are optically separated by reflective layer 2 on the surface of the basic body Z and by reflective layer 2 on the surface of the cone F located inside the basic body Z. Each enclosed space has its own light source 6 and again it shows pressurizing of individual sections of the object by pressures p.^ to g§, which again may be identical or different.

In this case, from the front view, the outer bulge B does not appear as arching out of the basic body Z but as a separate structure located on the outer surface of the basic body Z. Cavity A appears as a separate structure arching inwards from the surface into the basic body Z. In both cases it is again possible to see inside these structures but it is not possible to see through them inside to the basic body Z. The cone F will appear basically the same as the cavity but through the whole body both from the front and side views. Each of the structures may also be illuminated by means of a loophole with or without filter or does not have to be illuminated at all and, in such a case, it will appear from the front view as a non-shining mirror glossy area of part of the surface and from the side view it will appear as a cavity A and the cone F will appear as mirror glossy structure inside the basic body Z, the bulge B will appear as a mirror glossy outside arch and structure D as a mirror glossy outside or inside arch. Here again is the possibility that at certain light intensity the structures

will merge totally or partially with the basic body Z.

Another possible arrangement is an example in fig. 6. Transparent material 1 of the basic body Z is fitted with reflective layer 2 only on part of its outer and on part of its inner surface and at these places a cavity A or a bulge B is created on the basic body Z and the outer or inner surface of such cavity A or bulge B is fitted with reflective layer 2. Simultaneously, a structure D cavity/bulge is created on the basic body Z. Prism G, placed at an angle, is located inside the basic body Z as another element. Cavity A, bulge B, structure D and prism G each have their own light source 6. Basic body Z itself does not glow, other employed structures, which are optically separated, do glow. Resulting impression may again be modified by location, number and type of used light sources 6. In this example, the object will appear as independently shining structures inside or outside of faintly glowing basic body Z.

Fig. 7 shows basic body Z fitted along its whole outer surface with reflective layer 2 and equipped with one bulge B and one cavity A, which are covered with the reflective layer 2 only on part of their outer surfaces. In addition, in this example are applied outer and inner non-enclosed elements K in a form of plates, some of which are covered with reflective layer 2 and some are only made of transparent material 1. Light source 6, in this case, is located in the center of the basic body Z.

Another possible solution is presented in fig. 8. Basic body Z, which is in this example fitted with the reflective layer 2 on its whole outer surface of the envelope, contains a set of baffles H, which thus form individually separated spaces, each containing its own light source 6. It is also possible to create a combination where the light source 6 will be only in one of the spaces. Any separated space may be optically connected with other space via a loophole of defined size, which may or may not be equipped with colour filter 3. Single baffle H may contain one or more loopholes and individual spaces may thus be connected in parallel or series. It is for instance possible to illuminate individual spaces by different light intensity and colour by means of single light source 6 and various colour filters 3 and loopholes sizes.

Fig. 9 shows a version where the light source 6, typically a LED, is part of a module formed by a battery 8, e.g. a microbattery, and a control microchip 7, which are located on a printed circuit board 9 together with a control element 10, containing for instance a switch. Such module may weigh less than a few grams and therefore also an inflatable small balloon filled with helium with this module may be lighter than air, which is advantageous in particular for advertising and entertainment applications. This module, for instance, is glued on the outer side of the basic body Z or any of the separated spaces in place where on the tiny area remains only a transparent or even translucent layer creating certain small window. Here also may be a small aperture sealed with a layer of glue sticking the module. Another option is to locate the light source 6 outside, without removing the reflective layer 2, where given the partial light permeability, the light will protrude inside a given space, however with certain loss. This example of arrangement is advantageous especially for balloons lighter than air and specifically for inflatable small balloons. A screen J, oriented with its reflective layer 2 towards the light source 6, is located inside the basic body Z and it ensures that the light source 6 is not even minimum visible from most angles. This screen J may be used also for all other solutions. It is, of course, possible to use described location of the light source 6 outside any chamber, where the light will be radiated through a created small window or simply through partially permeable layers in all possible versions of the solution.

Fig. 10, only rather schematically, indicates the basic body Z made of metal- coated foil, which is separated by radial baffles, also made of metal-coated foil, in such a manner that its section forms a circular ring divided into 8 identical parts, or chambers respectively. It shows possible locations of light sources 6. These light sources 6 may, for instance, be connected to an electronic device, which turns them on or dims them in a rapid sequence, thus creating an illusion that the body is rotating, and this rotation may speed up or slow down. It is possible to employ commonly available electronic devices, which usually have several various programs.

Chambers may not be arranged only in such radial pattern. It may as well be a tube with successive chambers, one after another, creating for instance an illusion of a single such chamber shining and moving along the whole tube, or movement of the tube as a whole, etc. This is also the way to light up various bodies located inside other bodies. Light sources 6 may also be located outside the chambers and the light may protrude to the chambers through the foil at a small place where the metal coating or other layers are removed.

Any part of a decorative or advertising object, it means basic body Z, outer body V, inner baffles, shaping ribs, bulges and cavities, tubes passing through the body, may be treated on all their area or part of it according to the fig. 11. At least part of the outer and/or inner surface of the envelope of the basic body Z and/or any of the elements, such as tube C, cone F, prism G, baffles H, cavities A, bulges B, non-enclosed elements K or structures D, is created in a form of matrix made according to the selected model, e.g. a photograph, where remaining points or areas of the reflective layer 2 correspond with dark points or areas of the model. Such matrix is covered in arbitrary order by a layer of colour filter 3 located at least at places where the reflective layer 2 is removed and/or by diffusion layer 4 and/or by absolutely opaque layer 5, where these individual layers at least partially overlap.

Function of this arrangement is following. In basic arrangement, the metal layer of reflective layer 2 is in points or areas removed or slacken, which causes that the intensity of light passing through such place is manifold higher than the intensity of light coming out from places where the metal reflective layer 2 is retained. This can be achieved by printing the metal layer by traditional printing technologies allowing to reach points of different sizes, varied density, etc., and by subsequent e.g. etching away of unprinted places, or possibly replacing them with a foil with different reflectance. Further, in a way from the light source 6 may follow a layer of colour filter 3 corresponding with the metal reflective layer 2. This allows to create a matrix of points shining with different light intensity and/or colour. Such matrix may be in a form of photograph or a logo, as shown in fig. 12. Further, again in a way from the

light source 6 may follow a diffusion layer 4, which causes that the light is radiated from the object's surface instead from its inner space. Opaque layer 5 will ensure that from the given place of the surface no light passes through out. In the given example the order of layers taken from the light source 6 is transparent material 1, reflective layer 2, colour filter 3, diffusion layer 4 and fully opaque layer 5. Layers' order from the light source 6 may also be following - reflective layer 2, foil from the transparent material 1, colour filter 3, diffusion layer 4 and fully opaque layer 5; advantage of this arrangement is that the light, which does not come out from the object but is reflected back, does not go through the transparent foil and is not uselessly absorbed in it. If the order of layers from the light source 6 is following - colour filter 3, reflective layer 2, foil from the transparent material 1, diffusion layer 4, fully opaque layer 5 - then through the colour filter 3 passes both the light coming out from the object as well as the light reflected back to the inside of the object and efficiency of the colour filter 3 is therefore higher because considerable amount of light passes through it repeatedly. Fig. 12 shows a black-and-white version of an example of final result of described solution.

Fig. 13 is presented to complete the description. Desired outer shape of the basic body Z may also be achieved for instance also by inner ribs Q. In this figure the ribs Q are square-shaped and, therefore, the basic body Z will be block-shaped. These ribs Q may be made of transparent but also from colour-toned foil, which allows for their minimum visibility. They may also be made of metal-coated foil, translucent - but not transparent - foil or textile material. These ribs Q may simultaneously fulfill functions described above - they may create a sort of chambers and thus optically separated spaces. Various shapes of the object's body may also be achieved by its constriction e.g. by a cord, strip of foil or sticking a foil of arbitrary shape or splicing tape. This allows to create for instance ripples on the object's surface.

There is inexhaustible number of versions how to create advertising, illuminative or decorative object deploying new characteristics of described solution

and always achieve a distinct optical impression. It is also possible to realize objects where the whole basic body Z and/or the outer body V or any other used elements may be installed in rotational or sliding manner.

Industrial Applicability

A decorative, illuminative or advertising object according to the presented solution may be exploited in all kinds of advertisement, illumination industry, at exhibitions, expositions, various entertainment events, in entrance halls of various objects, etc.
