Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing light-guiding LED bodies in a mold, using a material that is flowable before becoming definitively solid. Each LED body comprises at least one light-emitting chip and at least two electrical connections that are connected to the chip. At least one flowable material is fed into the mold in chronologically separate steps via at least one of at least two locations. In a first step, the flowable material is fed into the mold so as to flow around the chip and the connections in that area. In further steps, one or several flowable materials are fed into areas other than the one in which the chip and connections are located. The inventive method for producing light-guiding LED bodies allows virtually all produced luminescent diodes to have the same optical characteristics and prevents the individual LED electronics from being spoiled through damage.

Abstract: A conductor of flexible material on which electronic or electric components are arranged is embedded at least partially in at least one shape-stable component made of plastic material. The electric or electronic component can be an illuminating device and the shape stable component a reflector. The electric or electronic component can also be a momentary-contact switch or a sensor. The plastic-embedded conductor is produced by mounting the electric or electronic components on the flexible conductor, placing and positionally securing the flexible conductor provided with electric or electronic components into an injection mold, and embedding the flexible conductor at least partially in plastic material by injection molding.
