AND THE MODE OF PROCEEDING

Invention description

1) Related areas of use

This innovation is related to transparent decorative inserts made of glass or plastics to be implemented to door frames, windows, furniture, billboards, illumination or anywhere else where special effects are expected to be achieved.

2) Technical problem

Over the year's one of the problem at entrance doors, windows, furniture, billboards and other present decorative areas was the monotony classic of product ^' s shapes and decoration as if they were always made in the same way, not offering any sufficient light resolution or transparency of the material built in between glass or plastics.

3) Technique status

Many different decorative elements offered on the market until nowadays have been produced using abrasive sand blasting technology or glass threading technology in order to achieve surface roughness. As well, in order to achieve adorning motives, they have been produced by using chemical oxide joints.

Similar, the others created ornamental glass frames combining colored and illustrated glass peaces in order to enable sun rays flow through the glass.

To my knowledge, no technique similar to my innovation technique has been used so far. 4) Presentation of the essence of the invention

Primary aim of this innovation would be to improve construction of the transparent decorative elements by implementing sand and glass transparent colored pearls by using admixture technique.

Secondary aim of this innovation would be producing the decorative insert which would allow more sun light or other illumination flow, showing at the same time all the significant beauty and glare of the using components.

Further aim of this innovation would be to perform the decorative insert in any various, unequal forms as possible, in order to apply it on all flat and round forms on transparent glass or plastic materials, giving priority to billboards etc.

Advanced target and advantages of the innovation you will find partly described below in following chapters and partly revealed through innovation appliance.

The transparent decorative insert related to this innovation includes flat or curved glass or plastic surface or any other transparent stuff in various shapes on which surface could be applied the slight sand or transparent glass pearls layers in all possible colors.

For instance, we create unique glass insert, by bonding the glass edges with silicon glue and by sticking it to second glass with the distance of 1-2 mm. In the upper fill in gate, using the hopper, we infuse alternately sand and glass pearls with diameter 1-2 mm (depending on glass distance), holding the glass vertically, at the same time evenly infusing the sticky fog on sand or glass pearls in order to stick them to glass surface and maintain cohesion in one place.

At the end, the upper fill in gate will be closed by silicon cap and the air extraction of sand and glass pearls will be performed.

The decorative element prepared in such way could be made in all glass shapes and therefore implemented on doors, windows, tables etc.

Through highlighting the one side of the transparent decorative insert we emphasize the plotted or formed motives and achieve exceptional atmosphere and light adventure.

By adding the LED illumination into the glass frames and the colored glass pearls for the night appliance, we secure a fascinating light experience which lasts over the night until the daylight touches the photo sensor and abort the circuit. In order to attain strictly default pattern we use the special printer supported by appropriate software. It is consisting of wheel housing run by the engine activated using software. Printer should be set up horizontally above the transparent glass or plastic surface.

The special hoppers are installed on the printer and they are filled with transparent glass or sand granulates applying them on the surface through extruder and exhaust pipe, evenly adding the sticky fog alternately.

In this way we gain the possibility to inflict the transparent sand or glass pearls optionally on huge transparent surfaces, creating positives and negatives which constantly allows the light flow and constantly creates the dazzle of light effects as well as picture rotation effects, all depending of angle of view.

There are many models related to printing the sand or glass pearls on the transparent surfaces:

Model a) consisting of two glass surfaces, separated between them using silicon glue, for about 1-2 mm.

Model b) consisting of three glass surfaces; lower, medium and upper one. Lower glass is separated by distance bar and sticked with the medium one using the silicon glue. The both of them lower and upper glass are preprinted on their inner side with glass and sand transparent pearls pattern. Also the upper glass is separated by distance bar and sticked with the medium one using the silicon glue.

Note: printing scheme on glass surfaces could be performed in many various ways, for instance the upper glass could be printed only with the sand pearls, the lower glass surface only with the glass pearls, while the medium glass surface could be combined with the both sand and glass pearls.

Model c) consisting of the lower and upper glass surfaces preprinted on their inner side, divided by the distance bar.

Model d) consisting of the lower and upper glass surfaces, both clean and clear, both separated with the medium glass by distance bar while the medium glass surface is printed on both sides with the sand or transparent glass pearls.

Air extraction is performed in all cases through valve and valve closing screw.

The frames could be equipped with the LED lighting, around all four edges, or only two of them, on the upper side, lower side or elsewhere; all powering through external connection associated with battery cell or through photovoltaic system (model b, c or d) loaded during the day through sunlight energy, switching over the night on rechargeable battery until the daylight switches it again to the sun and daylight power supply

6. Detailed description at (east one method to accomplish the innovation

Referring to pictures 1 and 2, you can see that the transparent decorative element involves in this case a flat surface of the glass (plastic) 1, on which edges we put silicone glue in order to get a distance of 1-2 mm and connect them with other glass (plastic) 4.

Leaving on the top the distance of 1-2 mm, holding by the hand the hopper pipe 8, we hold it above the upper fill in gate 12, and infuse the transparent glass pearls 10, and sand 11 with diameter of 1-2 mm, depending on the distance of the glass (plastic), located in the hopper 7, and load them to the upper fill in gate 12, holding the glass surface vertically to enable the pearls of sand 1 land transparent glass pearls 10, to be equally distributed.

Before the transparent glass pearls 10, are used they can be colored according to request, but still remaining transparent. At the same time into the upper fill in gate it is set the supply pipe 6, which goes from the glue container 5, and produces fog that evenly spreads all over the inner side of the model.

After finishing of infusion we close the upper fill in gate by silicone upper gate cap 3, and perform the air extraction which is shown in the best way on Picture 13, in order to achieve compactness of transparent glass pearls and sand 10, 11 , at any outside temperature or impact.

Such prepared decorative element can be made in all aspects of glass (plastic) that can be successfully implemented into some of the decoration such as doors, windows, tables, advertising panels, lighting etc, as shown in picture 3.

Through highlighting the one side of the transparent decorative insert as for example exterior doors, 33, Picture 17, we emphasize the plotted or formed motives and achieve exceptional atmosphere and light adventure.

LED lighting 27, has been added for the night use. They could be installed all over the glass (plastic) or two at a time or just one at the edges of the glass, which will be later discussed.

Performing such manual infuse we get a unique shape and pattern what cannot be repeated.

Because of this fact, we have implemented the printer procedure as one of the way to accomplish the innovation.

In order to achieve this aim, the best way of showing it is on pictures 4, and 5, where the transparent surface of the glass 1 , (plastic) is placed horizontally in a level, and under the printer 3.

It is consisting of wheel housing 17, two wheels in front and two wheels in back moving straight run by the engine activated using software 16, that keeps monitoring the extruder 15 as well.

The extruder takes care about the proper dosage of sand 11 , or transparent glass pearls 10, through exhausting pipe 14, and glue fog through the gate to drain the sticky fog 20, which is fused through the supply pipe 6, and glue container 5. Above the extruder there are hoppers 7, filled with the sand 11 , and transparent glass pearls 10. Printer is powered by power cable 18, so the printing is very fast and accurate work and ultimately it could be printed on glass (plastic) one or both sides, it could print only the transparent glass pearls 10, which can be in any color or only sand 11 , which can be colored as well.

That is how we get the samples best described in picture 6, with transparent glass pearls 10 and three transparent openings, as well as the other side of the glass or other glass (plastic), just with sand 11 , best described in picture 7.

Referring further to Picture 8, it shows rectangular distance bar 21, which may have a thickness of 10- 30 mm. Picture 9, presents the way of bonding the first 1, and second 4, glass surface by silicon glue 2.

The picture 10, shows the same template method as in picture 9, only we put distance bar 21, between medium glass surface 23, and the upper glass surface (plastic) 4, in order to get a distance between medium and upper glass which is important for the later installation of doors, windows and other places where the required thickness of the decorative insert, plays a role, where there are printed elements of the sand 11, and the transparent glass pearls 10, within the glass (plastic) 1, the middle glass (plastic) 23, and the sand 11, can be placed on the bottom of the second glass (plastic) 2.

Furthermore, picture 11, shows a third example assembling printed decorative elements where the additional glass (plastic) 4, is printed with sand 11, on the upper side, and on the top of the additional glass surface 4, it is sticked the glass (plastic) 1 , preprinted on the underside with transparent glass pearls 10.

In the example of assembling of three transparent surfaces, picture 12, shows, that the additional glass (plastic) surface 4, and lower glass /plastic surface 1 , are clean and clear and the medium glass surface /plastic 23, is preprinted on both sides, with glass transparent pearls 10, and sand 11. Between the glass surfaces there are two distance bars on each side of medium glass surface 23.

The arrangement of elements, which are printed on the glass surface can be very diverse. In order to obtain the strong expression and the light effect, the sand 11, or transparent glass pearls 10, can be very diverse in all colors or hand-poured without changing the meaning of the innovation.

Referring further to the picture 13, and 14, we can see that no matter in which combination the models could be made, the air should be extracted from the inner side of them to maintain the temperature and cohesion of implemented motives. - 3 -

The air extraction is performed through air extraction valves 24, and then closed with a screw 25, §0 no air could enter. In this way sand 11 , and transparent glass pearls 10, attain cohesion and maintain their current status.

Also, as illustrated in picture 13, 14, and 15 with built-in LED lights 27, the picture 13, shows the spreading of light 29, which has a rectangular layout as shown in picture 5, with its LED lighting power cable 28, then we need to supply rechargeable batteries over 31 , which is interrupted by photo sensor 30.

If there is a daylight, and LED lighting 27, does not light up, then rechargeable batteries 31 , is powered and charged through the photovoltaic module 26, also as shown in pictures 14, 16, 17, where the artificial LED lighting 27, is installed at the door 33, with possible external power through external power supply cable 32.

External power supply cable 32, installed at the door 33, represents an alternative power supply and it can be located in the inner side of the door at the top or bottom corner.

When setting up the various boards or lighting, decorative transparent insert is possible to make as shown in picture 18, where the illumination source 34, is in the middle, while the front of the round glass (plastic) 1 , the second glass (plastic) 4, or medium glass (plastic) 23, or any other combination, and between them infused decorative motives whether by hand pouring or printing of sand 11, or transparent glass pearls 10, to obtain light bright atmosphere.

Therefore, to obtain decorative transparent insert by using the methods of preparation of equal granulation 1-2 mm of transparent glass pearls 10, sand 11 , their coloring, printing, or manual pouring on the glass surface (plastic) 1 , 4, 23, bonding with glue fog, silicone glue 2, and placing distance bars 21 , vacuuming and drying on the natural temperature 25-30 degrees Celsius.

Photovoltaic module 26, can be placed outside the decorative insert like the photo sensor 30, either on any part of the furniture or advertisements.

7) Method of application

In this way, the innovation decorative transparent insert allows a very wide range of applications; it can be very economical to produce and includes significant improvements over the previously known devices of this type.

The experts could consider possibility of many remodeling or changes of the transparent decorative insert, according to this invention, not leaving the volume and the spirit of it.
