Abstract

System for signalling and/or decorative lighting on technical floors, on the type of floors comprising a number of height-adjustable legs connected by means of girders forming a horizontal network structure which may be levelled, on which a number of floor-creating plates are set and comprises a number of luminous or luminescent elements arranged so as to notice their illumination, protected in several holes made inside or between the plates forming the technical floor, power being supplied to them through the corresponding wiring from a preferably safe power supply.

Claims

1. System for signalling and/or decorative lighting on technical floors, on the type of floors comprising a number of height-adjustable legs connected by means of girders forming a horizontal network structure which may be levelled, on which a number of floor-creating plates are set;

comprising a number of luminous or luminescent elements arranged so as to notice their illumination, protected in several holes made inside or between the plates forming the technical floor, power being supplied to them through the corresponding wiring from a preferably safe power supply.

2. System according to claim 1, comprising the luminous or luminescent elements being preferably fitted in the area of the adjustable legs of the floor structure.

3. System according to claim 1, comprising the holes housing the luminous or luminescent elements being preferably fitted by means of a separation of the plates forming the floor.

4. System according to claim 2, comprising the separation being arranged by way of upper, longitudinal wings jutting out from the girders of the reticulated structure that do not continue over the structure'"'"'s adjustable legs, this discontinuity defining the luminous or luminescent element visualization holes fitted in this area.

5. System according to claim 3, comprising the separation being made by chamfers or gaps in the plates around their perimeter, and preferably at their corners.

6. System according to claim 1, comprising covering the holes with luminous diffusers, in a suitable way to protect the luminous or luminescent elements and diffusers themselves.

7. System according to claim 6, comprising the diffusers having a shape corresponding to that of the hole where they are placed.

8. System according to claim 6, comprising the diffusers remaining flush with the surface of the technical floor.

9. System according to claim 6, comprising the diffusers having a transparency between 72 and 89%, having tinting on their upper face.

10. System according to claim 4, comprising the diffuser having a general cross-shape to be fitted into the hole between four plates adjacent to a leg, in a non-perimeter zone of the technical floor.

11. System according to claim 4, comprising the diffuser having a general T-shape to be fitted into the hole between two plates adjacent to a leg, in a non-perimeter zone of the technical floor.

12. System according to claim 1, comprising the fact that a single or multicoloured LED diode is used as luminescent element.

13. System according to claim 6, comprising each diffuser being fitted with a hole to house the luminous or luminescent element.

14. System according to claim 1, comprising the power-supply wiring of the luminous or luminescent elements being constructed matrix-wise in rows and columns, comprising cable buses that independently feed each row and column, and the column buses being interconnected on one side and the rows on the other each to distribution frames connected to a processing board that controls the selective switching on/off of the above mentioned luminous or luminescent elements, and, if possible, their colour and brightness.

15. System according to claim 14, comprising the processing board having a module processed for the generation of luminous effects and the creation of ways for signalling using control software;

the processing board is connected to an outer computer for configuration.

16. System according to claim 14, comprising the connection or branch connection to each luminous or luminescent element from the corresponding cable buses being made through a connection plate, that in turn carries out the continuity of the above mentioned buses.

17. System according to claim 2, comprising the case where the luminous or luminescent elements are fitted into the legs of the structure, there is a connection plate on each of the aforementioned legs.

18. System according to claim 1, comprising including ducting through which the wiring is passed, fitted inside the girders making the technical floor structure.

19. System according to claim 1, comprising the wiring buses being alternatively carried out by the girders themselves that form the network structure, having included isolators at their crossing points corresponding to the adjustable legs, in order to avoid short circuits, as well as bus continuity connections and power supply to the luminous or luminescent elements that are located in the corresponding leg.
