US 11,827,050 B2 · Luminous stone product and manufacturing method therefor

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of building decoration. Disclosed is a luminous stone product including a natural stone panel, a light source, and a light-guide board. The natural stone panel includes at least one cavity and at least one light transmitting side; any of the cavities is correspondingly provided at the back side of the at least one light transmitting side, and any of the cavities extends to an edge of the natural stone panel and forms at least one opening; the light source is provided at the opening of the natural stone panel; the light-guide board is placed in the cavity and acquires light from the light source, and a gap between the light-guide board and the inner wall of the cavity is filled with a curable transparent adhesive resin. According to the present invention, the light-guide board is utilized to guide light, such that a point light source is changed into a planar light source which can emit light uniformly.

Dependent claims

A process for making a luminous stone product:

sawing a block of stone to produce a slit in the block of stone without separating the block into separate pieces, wherein
the block of stone has a top, a bottom, a front face, a rear face opposite to the front face, a first side, and a second side opposite to the first side, and
the slit is formed between the front face and the rear face and provides an opening in at least one of the top and the first and second sides, and
filling the slit with a light transmitting reinforcing material, through the opening, to support and reinforce at least a part of the front face;
after the front face has been reinforced by the light transmitting reinforcing material, machining an external surface of the front face to reduce a thickness of at least a portion of the front face;
attaching a light source to the stone for emitting light into or from the slit;
wherein the slit, the front face, and the light source are configured to allow light emitted from the light source to transmit through the light transmitting reinforcing material and the front face.
