Modular signage systems, assemblies, components, and methods

摘要

The present inventor devised, among other things, one or more exemplary systems, kits, methods, devices, assemblies, components, and/or software and related graphical interfaces related to signs with interchangeable illumination elements. One exemplary embodiment includes an illuminated sign assembly of two or more alphanumeric lighting elements formed of a transparent or translucent injection- or blow-molded plastic and including a number of surface-mounted light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Each of the alphanumeric elements plugs into power track, and can be independently rotated to a desired orientation relative the power track. In some embodiments, the each of the elements can be wireless controlled or programmed via a smartphone to blink or change colors according to a desired pattern or in response to ambient conditions. In still other embodiments, the lighting elements vertically stack onto a recharge station, and in yet others the elements are powered or recharged via resonant inductive coupling.

主权项

1. A signage assembly comprising:
a power track having first and second power conductors and at least one opening configured for accessing the first and second power conductors; and a set of two or more alphanumeric lighting elements, each having a translucent or transparent plastic housing containing a set of two or more electrically coupled LEDs, with each lighting element having a rotary dial plug structure positioned on a back portion of the housing and configured to removably plug into the one opening in the power track and allow rotational adjustment of the housing relative to the dial plug and the power track.
