Information carrier in the form of a table stand

The present innovation relates to a table stand-shaped information carrier, which has a polygonal, comprises substantially elongated, the information-bearing seat surfaces having block body.

In addition to information carriers made of a board-shaped surface with an adjustable foot, those are in the form of a table stand Information carrier known and in use, which consists of one, in cross-section usually an equilateral Triangle-forming, elongated block body made of wood or the like. Exist, the visible surfaces of which then the lettering wear.

Such information carriers are used, for example, in the counter service and can for example on a Area the name of the person working at the counter, on another area the information "occupied" or "closed" wear, among others. Depending on how the information carrier is set up, one or the other will then be visible.

The present innovation aims to create an information carrier of the aforementioned type, which can be put together easily and without tools within a wide range of uses and can be changed and also conveys a good overall aesthetic effect.

According to the innovation, this is achieved by at least three, longitudinally in their edge areas to form the block body telescoping profile rails, which at least in their edge areas are designed to be identical and mutually interchangeable are.

Here, a preferred embodiment of the innovation according to the invention The information carrier must be such that each profile rail has drawn-in longitudinal edges on both sides has, each with the visible surface area of the profile rail one, the polygonal cross-sectional shape Include the corresponding angle of the block body, one longitudinal edge of a profile rail in each case the other longitudinal edge of the adjoining profile rail engages under or over. Here is then the

Embodiment expediently made so that the Reaching under certain longitudinal edges of each profile rail with respect to the lateral surface of the block body in a stepped manner is offset, the lateral surface of the block body then from one rail to the other continuously.

This results in a particularly aesthetic shape.

In order to ensure that the individual profile rails can be easily pushed together to form a block body, the design is expediently done so that from the free end of the intended to reach under Longitudinal edge of each profile rail has a longitudinal rib with at least a partially dovetailed shape Profile protrudes outwards, which for form-fitting engagement in a corresponding longitudinal groove on the inside and in the transition area between the longitudinal edge intended to overlap and the visible surface area each profile rail is determined, in which case the end face on the longitudinal edge carrying the longitudinal rib each profile rail one inclined at an angle

Forms guide surface, which with a, through a, from the profile rail protruding nose extended counter surface cooperates on the longitudinal groove.

For a universal design of the visible surface areas as information signs, it is advisable to if one or more of the profile rails of the block body on the visible surface area guide rails forming longitudinal ribs to accommodate exchangeable labeling plates wear.

An example embodiment of the subject of the innovation is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing explained. Show it:

FIG. 1 shows an information carrier according to the innovation, in a diagram-like representation; and

FIG. 2 in side view and on an enlarged scale one of the, the block body of the information carrier forming profile rails.

According to FIG. 1, the innovation according to the invention is in the form of a table stand Information carrier is essentially an elongated one

Block body, which is shown in the profile as a triangle on the same side.

As a rule, this triangular shape should be the most expedient, but it is always possible any polygonal cross-sectional shape, for example square or hexagonal or octagonal Form.

In the present case, the information carrier is made up of three elements which can be pushed one into the other in their longitudinal extension in their edge regions Profile rails 1 formed. Here, as also clearly shows in FIG. 2, each profile rail has 1 on both sides drawn in longitudinal edges 2 and 3, each with the visible surface area 4 the profile rail an angle ei corresponding to the polygonal cross-sectional shape of the block body, here so 60 °, include.

FIG. 1 clearly shows that one longitudinal edge 2 of a profile rail 1 is the other longitudinal edge 3 engages under the adjacent profile rail 1 or one longitudinal edge 2 engages the other longitudinal edge 3 overlaps.

In order to achieve a practically seamless connection from one sub-frame surface to the other, is, as the illustrations show, the lengthwise edge 2 of each profile rail intended to be gripped under the outer surface of the block body stepped off.

For a form-fitting, self-retaining and telescoping connection of the profile rails 1 with one another, a longitudinal rib 5 with an at least partially dovetail-shaped profile protrudes outward from the free end of the longitudinal edge 2 of each profile rail 1 intended to be gripped below. This longitudinal rib 5 is used for positive engagement in a corresponding longitudinal groove 6 on the inside of each profile rail 1 in the transition area between the longitudinal edge 3 intended to overlap and the visible surface area 4 Angle Q , which is about 30 ° here, inclined guide surface. The corresponding mating surface 9 on the longitudinal groove 6 is formed by a nose 8 protruding from the profile rail 1 as an extension of the associated groove flank.
