Decorative Support Bead Light Blocking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional decorative and advertising supports for outdoor and indoor use generate high electricity consumption and excessive light pollution, which is not efficiently directed towards the motif, affecting the environment and energy efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A decorative motif support featuring two cladding sheets with internal openings covered by intermediate layers, a sandwich structure with a bead that blocks light from escaping, and a lighting element between the layers, reducing light pollution and energy consumption by directing light only towards the motif.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If conventional lighting systems are used to illuminate decorative motifs, then the motif is well illuminated, but light pollution increases and energy consumption rises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by directing lighting only to specific areas where needed - the decorative motif itself - rather than illuminating the entire surrounding environment. The lighting system is localized to the motif structure, creating focused illumination that enhances the decorative element while minimizing spill light that causes pollution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potential harm of light pollution into a benefit by using reflective surfaces and strategic positioning to channel light precisely where needed. The structure is designed so that light which might otherwise scatter造成污染 is instead redirected to illuminate the motif effectively, turning a harmful effect into a useful one.
2Illumination intensity
If conventional lighting systems are used to illuminate decorative motifs, then the motif is well illuminated, but electrical energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting system is designed to provide illumination only where necessary - on the decorative motif itself - rather than broadly illuminating the entire installation. This localized approach reduces the total amount of electrical energy required while maintaining effective motif illumination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts energy that would otherwise be wasted as scattered light into useful illumination by using reflective surfaces and strategic lighting angles. This redirects light energy to where it is needed, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining illumination effectiveness.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If lighting is directed to illuminate the motif, then light pollution is reduced, but the decorative appearance may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting is precisely targeted at the decorative motif elements, illuminating only the intended features without spilling into surrounding areas. This maintains the decorative appearance by highlighting the motif's shape and details while preventing light from polluting the environment beyond the intended area.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution significantly reduces light pollution and electrical energy usage by up to 95% and 70% respectively, while maintaining a decorative appearance both day and night, making it more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.
Implementation Method 1
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
Implementation Method 2
a lighting element located inside the rigid framework, between the two intermediate layers

AI summary
The invention relates to a support especially suitable for holding decorative motifs, for advertising or artistic purposes, with their own lighting, such as those used for embellishment or decoration, both indoors and outdoors. Said support comprises two cladding sheets (1) with openwork, which represent a motif, and said sheets are combined with a design of two intermediate layers (2) each arranged overlapping an internal face of each of the cladding sheets (1). The support also comprises at least one attachment element (10) that connects the two cladding sheets (1) and the two intermediate layers (2) in a single rigid framework comprising a sandwich structure; a lighting element (3), located inside the rigid framework, and a bead (9) comprising an opaque section (93) and occupying a section located in the space between the two intermediate layers (2), being configured to block the passage of light generated by the lighting element (3) from inside the framework to outside said framework.
