US Patent 9159252 Hanging luminous frame of a traffic sign plate

A hanging luminous frame of a traffic sign plate includes elementary frame sections, each being a long hollow enclosure which defines a luminous frame surface and a concave back side, wherein the concave back side is to be supported against the marking surface of the traffic sign plate. Connecting edges allow the elementary frame sections to be connected to each other and form a frame. Luminous through holes are distributed over the luminous frame surfaces. Waterproof transparent covers have a housing enclosure part, a transparent covering part and a fitting and positioning part. LED lighting components have a circuit base plate, LED components and conductor wires, wherein the LED lighting component is held inside the waterproof transparent cover. A waterproof layer is filled in the housing enclosure parts to seal the inside circuit base plate. Positioning and reinforcing edges provide a stable locking interface for the locking and positioning component.
