Description

[Translation from Germanj Device for Accommodating an Advertising Medium The invention concerns a device for accommodating an advertising medium.
Advertising is indispensable in the modern economy. Advertising media in the form of posters are already affixed to many locations outdoors. However, advertising spaces that reliably attract attention are scarce and expensive.
The object of the invention is to create an additional option for affixing advertising media that are noticed by many target individuals. Moreover, the invention proposes an appropriate and suitable device for accommodating the advertising media and advertising spaces.
The solution in accordance with the invention is to place the advertising medium in the region of the backrest of a seat, in particular a park bench or a park chair.
A very advantageous refinement of the device in accordance with the invention is a housing to accommodate the advertising medium that is attached to the backrest. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the housing, preferably in the shape of a parallelepiped, can, on a side surface delimited by edges that are perpendicular to the outer backrest and extend downward in the plane of the backrest, be equipped with a pivoting side flap for closing, opening, and placement and removal of the advertising medium. In accordance with the invention, this closable surface is capable of being latched, e.g. locked, so that the advertising medium cannot be removed.
The housing in accordance with the invention can have supports, which may take the form of rails or guides, for example. By this means, the advertising medium, for example an advertising poster, can be inserted in the housing and also held firmly in position. Another possibility for accommodating the advertising medium is a longitudinally extending compartment of the housing, into which the advertising medium is inserted. It is advantageous for the front face of the housing to consist of a transparent material, more particularly a difficult to break plastic such as acrylic.
In accordance with a refinement of the invention, the housing can be attached by means of snap devices or other fastening elements to the backrest or a part thereof, for example to two or more support posts. However, it can also be slid over the backrest with the side flap open for installation and removal.
Another embodiment option for the device according to the invention is for there to be attached to the backrest of the seat or parts thereof a base plate on which is located a mounting plate, to which, in turn, is attached the housing.
The device in accordance with the invention can also be placed on the armrests of a park bench or a park chair. It is also within the scope of the invention to affix a housing with advertising medium to other places.
The invention has the advantage that park benches or park chairs can be used to accommodate interchangeable advertising media. In addition, the public is especially inclined to notice the advertising on the advertising medium before using the park bench or park chair.
The invention is described in detail using example embodiments. Shown are:
Fig. 1 a perspective side view of a housing for an advertising medium attached to a park bench, Fig. 1a a detail of the housing base with guide rails and support rails in an enlarged scale, Fig. 1 b a cross-section through the housing that has a separate compartment for the advertising medium, Fig. 2 a side view as in Fig. 1 with a pivoting side flap, Fig. 3 a base plate that is attachable to a park bench, Fig. 4 a mounting plate that is attachable to the base plate from Fig. 3, Fig. 5 a top view (horizontally sectioned) of a housing for attachment to the mounting plate, Fig. 6 a side view of the housing from Fig. 5, Fig. 7 a top view of a base plate attached to a post, Fig. 8 a top view of a device consisting of a base plate and a front plate, with the front plate closed, and Fig. 9 a schematic representation of a detail from the representation as in Fig. 8, but with the front plate open.
Figs. 1 and 2 show two posts (2) of the backrest (1 ) of a park bench which is otherwise not shown; these posts are vertical or run at an angle downward, and to them are attached, e.g. screwed, boards that run horizontally (not shown). A
parallelepiped housing (3) for accommodating a schematically indicated advertising medium (4) in the form of an elongated poster can be attached to the backrest (1 ) by means of so-called snap fasteners (6) or other suitable fastening elements. Located in the housing (3), as shown especially well in Fig. 1a, on a bottom surface (7) and a top surface (8) are guides and supports in the form of rails (9), in the intermediate space (11 ) between which the advertising medium can be inserted and held. Fig. 1 a shows details of the rails (9) on the bottom surface (7). Corresponding rails can be provided on the top surface (8). In the intermediate space (11 ), the inserted advertising medium (4) can be guided by the rails and held in its final position. It is possible to provide openings leading to the outside (not shown) in the bottom surface (7) of the housing in order to improve ventilation in the interior of the housing (3).
Located on at least one side surface (12) of the housing (3), which side surface is delimited by edges (10a) that are perpendicular to the backrest and edges (10b) that extend downward, is a side flap (13) that can be doubly folded by means of two hinges (14 and 16). This creates two surface sections (17 and 18), of which the surface section (18) Goses off the side of the housing, while the surface section (17) extends around the housing (3) in the area of the backrest. The surface sections (17, 18) can be secured in their closed position by means of fastening elements (19) such as locks.
A corresponding side flap (13a) can be arranged on the other side of the housing (3);
this is merely indicated by hatched lines.
The advertising medium (4), instead of being arranged between rails (9), can also be arranged as shown in Fig. 1 b in a special section (22) in the front area of the housing (3). The majority of the bottom surface (7) can then be omitted, so the housing is essentially open to the bottom. In the device as per Figs. 1, 1a and 2, the advertising medium (4) is introduced in that the side flap (13) is opened, the advertising medium is introduced between the rails (9) in the direction of the arrow (15), and then the side flap (13) is closed again, and also locked if necessary.
Instead of screw-mounting the housing (3) to the backrest (1), it can also be slid over the backrest from above so that its top surface (8) rests on the backrest. In this case, the housing is open to the bottom, at least in part. It is then advantageous for the advertising medium (4) to be located, as already mentioned and as shown in Fig. 1 b, in a compartment (22) that runs parallel to the backrest, preferably over the entire length thereof. In this event, attached to one side of the housing (3) are the snap fasteners (6) that make it possible to hitch the housing (3) to the backrest (1 ). The hitching prevents the housing (3) from being removed from the backrest.
The front side of the housing, which is to say the side facing the seated person, is closed off with a transparent front surface (21 ) to permit viewing of the advertising medium. A transparent plastic, which should be as unbreakable as possible, for example acrylic, is preferentially suited as the material. However, it is also possible to leave the housing (3) open at the front, without a front surface (21 ), so that the advertising medium (4) is openly presented to the viewer with no further separating partition. This arrangement makes a front surface (21 ) dispensable, for instance for cost reasons.
A variant of the invention is described in Figs. 3 through 6.
A base plate (26) is fastened to the backrest (1 ) by means of screws (27) as shown in Fig. 3. This base plate has openings (28a through 28n). 29 is a fastening device. Another plate which serves as a cover, namely a mounting plate (30), has, as shown in Fig. 4, a locking device and also openings (31 a through 31 n) that correspond s in terms of position and design to the openings (28a through 28n) of the base plate (26).
The two plates (26) and (30) are connected to one another through openings (28a through 28k) and (31 a through 31 k) by means of locking plastic clips which engage the aligned openings. The plate (30) has additional openings (31 o through 31 t).
Fig. 5 shows a top view, in horizontal section, of a housing (3) in which the advertising medium (4) can be inserted, for example by means of rails (9) as described for Fig. 1b. The housing (3) is equipped with a side flap (13), which is opened and closed as shown by the double arrow (32) by means of a joint or hinge (33). A
lock (35) can keep the flap (13) locked in the closed position. Top snap fastener elements (340 through 31 t), which engage in the openings (31 o through 31 t) of the mounting plate (30) and lock the housing (3) to the top of the mounting plate (30), serve to fasten the housing (3) to the mounting plate (30). Bottom snap fastener elements (34n, 34m, 341) on the housing (3), which engage in corresponding openings (31 n, 31 m, 31 I) and lock the housing (3) to the bottom of the mounting plate (30), serve the same purpose. This housing (3) can likewise be open to the front, eliminating a front surface (21 ).
Insertion of an advertising medium (4) into the housing (3) in the direction of arrow 36 is illustrated in Fig. 6. At the bottom, the advertising medium is guided and held between rails (9) that are arranged on a bottom surface (7). At the top, the advertising medium is guided and held in a groove (37) in the top surtace (8).
The flap (13) of the housing (3) is shown in Fig. 6 in the closed position, even though it pivots open, causing the side surface to become free for insertion of the advertising medium (4).

Finally, it is also possible to use hinges (39) to fasten a pivoting, transparent front plate (40) to a base plate (38) that is fastened, for example with screws (27), to the posts (2) of a park bench. Said front plate (40) can be secured relative to the base plate (38) by a lock (41 ), which can be operated with a key (42), for example.
The front plate (40) is supported along its upper edge (43) so as to be able to pivot about the hinges (39) on an adjacent upper edge (44) of the base plate.
In this way, it is possible to pivot the bottom boundary edge (45) of the front plate (40) - which faces away from the upper edge 43 - away from a corresponding bottom edge (46) of the base plate (38).
After the front plate (40) has been pivoted away from the base plate (38), a groove (47) extending along the bottom edge (46) becomes accessible; said groove forms a bottom termination of the base plate (38). An advertising medium can be guided in this groove (47). In this context, the groove (47) is fitted in the base plate (38) in such a way that, after the advertising medium has been inserted, the front plate (40) can be pivoted about the hinges (39) toward the base plate (38) and then brought firmly against the base plate (38) so that it can be locked against the base plate (38) with the key. Additional firm seating of the front plate (40) on the base plate (38) is provided by snap-in fasteners (48), which, after latching into appropriate recesses in the base plate (38), press the front plate (40) firmly against the advertising medium carried in the groove (47). Appropriate rubber seals in the vicinity of longitudinal edges (49, 50) andlor transverse edges (51, 52) are provided so that the front plate (40) contacts any existing con-esponding guides in the base plate (38) in a moisture-impervious manner.

Another possibility is to omit the groove (47) in the region of the base plate (38) and instead to provide an equivalent groove on the bottom boundary edge (45) of the front plate (40). The advisability of whether the groove (47) should be provided in the base plate (38) or the front plate (40) depends on the type of advertising medium to be inserted.
