Jukebox or vending machine having a lighting system
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a jukebox or vending machine provided with a lighting system. In order to provide an improved lighting system for generating lighting effects, the lighting system comprises a screen, the screen having a colored design, a circuit board with at least a first lighting device and a second lighting device, wherein the first lighting device is configured to radiate a first light cone and the second lighting device is configured to radiate a second light cone and wherein the first light cone and the second light cone intersect on the screen, and a controller for modifying the first light cone independently of the second light cone.
1. A jukebox and/or vending machine having a lighting system, the lighting system comprising:
a screen including a colored design thereon,
a circuit board with at least a first lighting device and a second lighting device, the first lighting device being configured to radiate a first light cone and the second lighting device to radiate a second light cone, wherein the first and/or the second light cone include an aperture angle in a range of between 60° and 160°, and wherein the first light cone and the second light cone intersect on the screen, and
a controller electrically coupled to the first and second lighting devices, wherein the controller is configured to modify the first light cone independently of the second light cone.
2. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to modify the brightness and/or color of the first and/or second light cone.
3. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lighting devices are located at substantially equal distances from the screen.
4. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the first and/or the second light cone include an aperture angle in a range of between 100° and 140°.
5. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the first and/or the second lighting devices are LEDs.
6. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the first and/or the second lighting devices are RGB-LEDs.
7. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the circuit board further includes third and fourth lighting devices, wherein the first, second, third and fourth lighting devices are arranged as an array.
8. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lighting devices are arranged at a distance of between 0.5 cm and 10 cm from one another.
9. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lighting devices are arranged at a distance of between 2 cm and 4 cm from one another.
10. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lighting devices are arranged at a distance of between 1 cm and 6 cm from the screen.
11. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lighting devices are arranged at a distance of between 2 cm and 4 cm from the screen.
12. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the first and second lighting devices is substantially equal to the distance between the first and/or second lighting devices and the screen.
13. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 1 , wherein the controller receives an external trigger signal, and in response thereto, modifies the first light cone independently of the second light cone.
14. A method for illuminating a jukebox and/or vending machines having a screen wherein the screen includes a colored design, the method comprising:
illuminating the screen with a first light cone,
illuminating the screen with a second light cone, the first light cone and the second light cone intersect on the screen, wherein the first and/or the second light cone include an aperture angle in a range of between 60° and 160°, and
independently modifying the first light cone relative to the second light cone.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein illuminating the screen with a second light cone further includes illuminating the screen with the second light cone having an aperture angle in a range of between 60° and 160°.
16. A jukebox and/or vending machine having a lighting system, the lighting system comprising:
a screen including a colored design thereon,
a circuit board with at least a first lighting device and a second lighting device, the first lighting device being configured to radiate a first light cone and the second lighting device to radiate a second light cone, wherein the first light cone and the second light cone intersect on the screen,
a scatter filter disposed between the circuit board and the screen, and
a controller electrically coupled to the first and second lighting devices, wherein the controller is configured to modify the first light cone independently of the second light cone.
17. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 16 , wherein the scatter filter is disposed or imprinted on a side of the screen which faces the first and second lighting devices.
18. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 16 , wherein the first and second lighting devices are located at substantially equal distances from the screen.
19. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 16 , wherein the first and/or the second light cone include an aperture angle in a range of between 60° and 160°.
20. The jukebox and/or vending machine of claim 16 , wherein the first and/or the second lighting devices are LEDs.
