CZ20012009A3 - Frame for tensioning flexible flat information carriers - Google Patents

Abstract

A freestanding support for information posters has upper and lower horizontal bars (26, 29) splayed apart by pairs of flexible struts (44, 46, 48, 50) at their ends. The struts are telescopic, or can be made into different lengths by adding separate sections. The information posters are looped over the horizontal supports and are tensioned by the elastic struts. The bottom support is fitted with legs for a freestanding structure.

Description

Stand for tensioning flexible flat information carriers

Technical field

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a stand for tensioning flexible planar information carriers comprising a bracket for attaching the information carrier and the pedestals to the bracket.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The information carriers may be flat advertising posters, for example exhibition posters, which are installed at exhibitions by means of stands.

However, such information carriers can, as a rule, be monitored from one side only, since the other side is completely or partially covered by holding bars. Furthermore, the known racks are not variable in size. One size can only be used for one corresponding information carrier.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a rack for tensioning flexible planar information carriers that allows good monitoring of the information carrier from both sides.

The principle of the solution according to the invention consists in that the stand consists of at least two resiliently flexible longitudinal bars which

Φ · Φ Φ Φ · φφφφ φ

Φ · Φ φ Φ • φ φ φ ·· φφφφ φφ φφφ φφ • • ΦΦ

are connected at the ends by cross bars, wherein an information carrier is tensioned between the cross bars.

It has proven advantageous if the transverse rods of the stand are telescopically adjustable over their length or consist of mutually plug-in transverse rod modules. By this measure the rack width can be adjusted for different widths of information carriers. In order that the height of the information carriers can also be variable, the longitudinal bars are preferably telescopically adjustable over their length or the longitudinal bars consist of mutually plug-in longitudinal bar modules, the desired length being achieved by different modules.

At the connection points between the transverse rods and the longitudinal rods, in the frame according to the invention, there are advantageously provided connecting elements which detachably connect the transverse rods and the longitudinal rods.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, pedestals are mounted on the lower connecting elements.

In order to ensure the stability of the stand, it has proved advantageous to arrange the support bars. The support bars are preferably located between the longitudinal bars and the pedestals. For greater variability, the support rods are adjustable.

Printed paper has proven to be advantageous for the flat information carrier. Alternatively, the information carrier material may also consist of a textile fabric or plastic sheet. It is also possible to combine said materials.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The invention is further explained with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 shows a stand according to the invention with an information carrier; and FIG. 2 shows a stand according to the invention without an information carrier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to Fig. 1, a stand 10 according to the invention for a tensioned information carrier 12 is shown. The stand 10 consists of a holder 13 in which the information carrier 12 is tensioned. The carrier 13 for the information carrier 12 is essentially comprised of pairs of longitudinal bars 44, 46, 48, 50 and cross bars 26, 28.

The information carrier 12 is flat and flexible. The information carrier 12 preferably consists of a printed textile material, such as a fabric, of low basis weight. In the present case, the information carrier 12 is rectangular with vertical side edges 14 and 16 with horizontal transverse edges 18 (top) and 20 (bottom). The horizontal cross bars 18, 20 are attached to the tubular joints 22 (bottom) and 24 (top).

The transverse rods 26 (bottom) and 28 (top) are guided by the connecting rods 22, 24. The transverse rods 26, 28 are further encapsulated or screwed in bores 30 by their connecting elements 32, 34, 36, 38. 36, 38 have a circular form in this embodiment, in the center of which the bores 30 are arranged.

Two pedestals 40 project radially on the lower connecting members 32, 34. At the other end of the pedestals 40, rubber caps 42 are formed to prevent the rack 10 from slipping on the substrate.

In each case, the two bent longitudinal bars 44, 46 or 48, 50 are detachably inserted into the radially outwardly directed bores of the connecting elements 32, 38, respectively. The longitudinal rods 44, 46, 48, 50 can be extended or shortened by means of a modular construction. This can be done with mutually pluggable module rods of different lengths which can be pushed together to the required length. Since the information carrier 12 is preferably shorter than the longitudinal bars 44, 46, 48, 50, the longitudinal bars 44, 46, 48, 50 are biased so that the arch-shaped bends are bent. In addition, the longitudinal rods 44, 46, 48, 50 advantageously have good spring properties in order to allow the bending to take place with the appropriate stress. At the same time, good self-stability is achieved.

In order to achieve additional stability, they are

between the pedestals 40 and longitudinal rods 44, £ 6, 48, 50 support rods 52, 54, 56 58. Supporting bars 52, 5 £, 56, 58 are fastened fastening Elements 60 62, 64, 66

sliding on the longitudinal bars 46, 46, 8, 50 and fasteners 68, 70, 72, 74, also sliding on the pedestals.

The fasteners 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 22 '21 ^M o ho be locked by means of screws.

Giant. 2 shows the stand 10 as shown in FIG. 1, but without the information carrier 12. The same components are therefore indicated by the same reference numerals. The width of the information stand 12 can be made variable by the cross bars 26, 28 being telescopic bars. . The telescopic rod components are then secured in a certain position by a suitable securing means to prevent their adjustment.

Both sides of the information carrier can be utilized by the present invention since they are equally visible. Here, the holding device does not cover any areas of the printed information carrier.
