  • Patent number: 10488261
    Abstract: The present concept is a compact portable colour sensor for measuring colour of a substrate. The sensor includes a lower and upper housing, and a detector portion. The detector portion includes a printed circuit board connected to an interior of the housing. The circuit board includes at least one LED and one colour sensor mounted on a bottom side thereof. At least one transparent light transmitting light pipe and a transparent material are mounted interferingly between the bottom side of the printed circuit board and the interior of the lower housing. The compact portable colour sensor is configured such that light transmitted by the LED impinges upon the substrate through a light cavity, and is at least partially reflected back to the colour sensor to take a measurement. Preferably the lower housing has an inverted truncated conical shape.

  • Publication number: 20180143076
    Abstract: The present concept is a compact portable colour sensor for measuring colour of a substrate. The sensor includes a lower housing including an interior, the lower housing for cooperatively mating together with a upper housing, a detector portion including a printed circuit board rigidly connected to an interior of the lower housing and substantially enveloped by the upper and lower housings when in a mated position The printed circuit board includes at least one LED and one colour sensor mounted on a bottom side of the printed circuit board, and at least one transparent light transmitting light pipe and a transparent lens is mounted interferingly between the bottom side of the printed circuit board and the interior of the lower housing, and wherein the compact portable colour sensor is configured such that light transmitted by the LED impinges upon the substrate and is at least partially reflected back to the colour sensor to take a measurement.
