Lighting system with translucent base and surface covering
The patent US12055750B2 describes a novel lighting system designed to enhance visual effects through a unique configuration of layers and voids. The system comprises a base structure made from transparent or translucent materials, which supports a surface covering consisting of two layers. At least one light source is strategically positioned to illuminate the base structure, allowing light to pass through and interact with the surface covering. The surface covering features at least one void that extends between the layers, enabling light to emanate from the first surface layer and create desired visual effects. The voids can vary in depth and configuration, providing flexibility in design and functionality.
Additionally, the patent outlines various materials suitable for the base structure, such as polycarbonate, polypropylene, and acrylic, as well as options for the surface layers, including EVA foam, PE foam, and EPDM. The system can be secured to a supporting structure, such as a vehicle, using adhesives or attachment arrangements like snap assemblies. The claims also specify that the surface covering can be utilized as a cover for marine vehicles, further broadening the application of the lighting system. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach to integrating lighting with structural design, emphasizing both aesthetic and practical considerations.
