Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a heatable luminaire cover is described. The heatable luminaire cover has: a polymeric main body, a first busbar, a second busbar and at least two conductor tracks on the inside of the polymeric main body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a heatable luminaire cover, comprising: preparing a polymeric main body; fixing a plurality of conductor tracks on an inner side of the polymeric main body by ultrasonically embedding at least one section of each conductor track of the plurality of conductor tracks into the surface of the polymeric main body at a depth that is from 50% to 90% of their thickness; and electrically connecting each conductor track of the plurality of conductor tracks to a first busbar and a second busbar, independently from other conductor tracks of the plurality of conductor tracks, wherein the plurality of conductor tracks is arranged between the first busbar and the polymeric main body and between the second busbar and the polymeric main body. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a protective coating is applied on an outer side of the polymeric main body. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polymeric main body is prepared by injection molding or by thermoforming.
