Abstract

A decorative composite body includes a glass body and a plastic partly enclosing the glass body, wherein part of the surface of the glass body is arranged on the outside of the decorative composite body, wherein at least two adjacent glass and plastic areas arranged on the outside of the composite body are ground in the composite state, wherein areas of the glass body adjacent to the plastic are at least partly mirrored.

Claims (19)

1. A decorative composite body, comprising:

a glass body; and

a plastic partly enclosing said glass body,

wherein a surface of said glass body is exposed at an exterior surface of said decorative composite body,

wherein at least a part of said exposed surface of said glass body and a part of said plastic are adjacent to each other at said exterior surface of said composite body and have been subjected to simultaneous grinding in a composite state, and

wherein said glass body includes surfaces which are arranged in an interior of said composite body and which are adjacent to and enclosed by portions of said plastic at said interior of said composite body, and wherein said surfaces of said glass body which are adjacent to and enclosed by portions of said plastic at said interior of said composite body are at least partly mirrored; wherein a lighting device is arranged in an area of an interface between said glass body and said plastic at said interior of said composite body.

2. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein all parts of said exposed surface of said glass body and all parts of said plastic adjacent thereto at said exterior surface of said composite body have been subjected to simultaneous grinding in the composite state.

3. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said composite body has a surface which is at least partly ground in facets.

5. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said plastic comprises a single- or multi-component casting resin.

6. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said plastic comprises fillers which change the material properties of the plastic.

7. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said plastic comprises additives for improving at least one of the properties of the group consisting of deaeration, flow properties, wettability, and adhesion.

8. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said plastic comprises additives to reduce viscosity.

9. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said plastic comprises effect substances.

10. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said plastic is opaque.

11. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said plastic is at least partly undercut by said glass body.

12. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein said lighting device comprises a light-emitting diode.

13. The decorative composite body according to claim 1 , wherein a bore leading to said lighting device is arranged in said plastic to supply said lighting device with electricity.

14. The decorative composite body according to claim 13 , wherein an inner wall of said bore is a metal sleeve.
