Abstract

1. Display stand for a jewellery article, such as a wrist watch, ring or necklace, for supporting said article in a position raised from a plane surface, and comprising a resilient band (2, 18, 23) intended to be applied against the internal face of the article (4, 15) to be displayed, in the desired position thereof, so as to serve as a support for the latter, said band (2, 18, 23) being provided with a small plate (1, 20, 21) capable of carrying data relative to the displayed article (4, 15) and serving as a support for holding the displayed article (4, 15) in the desired raised position, characterized in that said band (2, 18, 23) is made of a flexible material and in that the display stand, in the situation where it does not receive an article, is in a rest position, in which position the band is flat, and in that the band, owing to its flexibility, may be configured by the user out of said rest position in order to, on the one hand, apply against the internal face of the article and, on the other hand, hold same in the desired position of display via the small plate, whereby means, in particular the article itself, are acting against the elastic forces which tend to urge back the band into its rest position.

Description

L'invention concerne un présentoir de pièce de bijouterie, telle que montre-bracelet, bracelet, bague, collier, destiné à soutenir cette pièce dans une position surélevée sur une surface plane, et comportant une bande destinée à être appliquée contre la face interne de la pièce à présenter dans la position voulue de cette dernière et de façon à lui servir de support, cette bande étant solidaire d'une plaquette susceptible de recevoir des indications relatives à la pièce présentée et servant d'appui pour tenir la pièce présentée dans la position surélevée voulue.The invention relates to a display of a piece of jewelry, such as a wristwatch, bracelet, ring, necklace, intended to support this piece in a raised position on a flat surface, and comprising a strip intended to be applied against the internal face of the part to be presented in the desired position of the latter and so as to serve as a support, this strip being secured to a plate capable of receiving indications relating to the part presented and serving as a support for holding the part presented in the desired raised position.

Un présentoir de ce type, prévu pour une montre-bracelet, est connu de la publication FR-A-910 300. La bande de ce présentoir connu est courbée en forme de boucle ouverte et elle est faite en une matière élastique, notamment en acier. L'élasticité de cette bande sert avant tout à permettre de pincer une partie de la pièce à présenter entre deux zones juxtaposées de la bande. Par ailleurs ce présentoir connu est relativement rigide et n'admet que de faibles déformations ce qui a comme conséquence qu'il en faut généralement de dimensions différentes pour les montres d'hommes et pour les montres de dames. En raison de la forme de ce présentoir connu, sa fabrication est relativement compliquée. L'entreposage de présentoirs en forme de boucle prend beaucoup de place et leur expédition impose la confection de paquets volumineux.A display of this type, intended for a wristwatch, is known from the publication FR-A-910 300. The band of this known display is curved in the form of an open loop and it is made of an elastic material, in particular steel . The elasticity of this strip serves above all to allow pinching a part of the part to be presented between two juxtaposed zones of the strip. Furthermore, this known display is relatively rigid and only admits slight deformations, which has the consequence that generally different dimensions are required for men's watches and for ladies' watches. Due to the shape of this known display, its manufacture is relatively complicated. The storage of loop-shaped displays takes up a lot of space and their shipment requires the making of large packages.

L'invention a pour but la réalisation d'un présentoir du type précité qui évite ces inconvénients, dont la nature de ses parties constitutives en rend la fabrication aisée, qui se prête à la présentation de pièces différentes, qui puisse, au repos, être empilé en grand nombre dans un volume réduit, ce qui simplifie son entreposage et son expédition et dont la bande peut être obtenue par simple découpage d'un ruban de matière en rouleau.The object of the invention is to produce a display of the aforementioned type which avoids these drawbacks, the nature of its constituent parts making it easy to manufacture, which lends itself to the presentation of different pieces, which can, at rest, be stacked in large numbers in a reduced volume, which simplifies its storage and shipping and whose strip can be obtained by simply cutting a ribbon of material from a roll.

Ce but est atteint par le présentoir défini par les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.This object is achieved by the display defined by the features of claim 1.

. A l'encontre du présentoir connu précité le présentoir selon l'invention est produit, livré et stocké à plat et ce n'est qu'au moment de son utilisation qu'il est mis en forme pour sous-tendre la pièce à présenter. La flexibilité de sa bande permet d'utiliser un même présentoir pour présenter des pièces de dimensions très différentes, par exemple aussi bien pour des montres de messieurs que pour des montres de dames.. Unlike the aforementioned known display, the display according to the invention is produced, delivered and stored flat and it is only when it is used that it is shaped to underpin the part to be presented. The flexibility of its band makes it possible to use the same display to present pieces of very different dimensions, for example both for men's watches and for ladies' watches.

Les formes d'exécution définies par la revendication 2, sont excessivement simples. La bande flexible peut, en effet, avoir la même largeur d'un bout à l'autre, car son élasticité, qui tend à la ramener à plat, suffit généralement à soutenir la pièce à présenter.The embodiments defined by claim 2 are excessively simple. The flexible strip can, in fact, have the same width from one end to the other, because its elasticity, which tends to bring it flat, is generally sufficient to support the part to be presented.

Cependant, si cette élasticité ne devait pas suffire pour supporter le poids de certaines pièces, le présentoir pourrait alors aisément être conformé comme le définit la revendication 3.However, if this elasticity were not sufficient to support the weight of certain parts, the display could then easily be shaped as defined in claim 3.

Les formes d'exécution définies par la revendication 4 conviennent particulièrement aux colliers.The embodiments defined by claim 4 are particularly suitable for collars.

Celles définies par la revendication 5 permettent de présenter une pièce de bijouterie dans les mêmes conditions que les présentoirs connus.Those defined by claim 5 make it possible to present a piece of jewelry under the same conditions as known displays.

Si la plaquette solidarisée à la bande du présentoir devait alors occasionner un basculement indésirable de la pièce présentée vers l'arrière, en raison de ses dimensions, il suffirait de recourir aux formes d'exécution définies par la revendication 6, pour pallier ce défaut.If the plate secured to the strip of the display should then cause an undesirable tilting of the piece presented backwards, due to its dimensions, it would suffice to resort to the embodiments defined by claim 6, to remedy this defect.

Une catégorie de pièces de bijouterie, à laquelle sont destinées les formes d'exécution définies par la revendication 7, est constituée par les bagues.A category of jewelry pieces, for which the embodiments defined by claim 7 are intended, consists of rings.

Les formes d'exécution définies par la revendication 8 permettent de présenter une pièce de bijouterie dans une position relativement couchée et celles définies par la revendication 9, dans une position étendue.The embodiments defined by claim 8 make it possible to present a piece of jewelry in a relatively lying position and those defined by claim 9, in an extended position.

Enfin, les formes d'exécution définies par la revendication 10 permettent non seulement d'associer étroitement son coût à la pièce présentée, mais aussi d'utiliser successivement le même présentoir pour des pièces de prix différents.Finally, the embodiments defined by claim 10 make it possible not only to associate its cost closely with the piece presented, but also to successively use the same display rack for pieces of different prices.

  • Figure 13 a detail of FIG. 12, on a larger scale.

Le présentoir selon la première forme d'exécution (Fig. 1 et 2) est destiné à des colliers. Il est composé d'une plaquette 1, venue de fabrication avec une bande 2. A l'état naturel, la bande 2 est rectiligne. Cette bande et la plaquette 1 sont faites en une matière telle que la bande 2 soit flexible et ait une bonne élasticité. Des matières qui conviennent à cet effet sont le polystyrène ou le polypropylène ainsi que le chlorure de polyvi- nyle, par exemple.The display according to the first embodiment (Fig. 1 and 2) is intended for necklaces. It is composed of a plate 1, coming from manufacture with a strip 2. In the natural state, the strip 2 is rectilinear. This strip and the plate 1 are made of a material such that the strip 2 is flexible and has good elasticity. Materials suitable for this purpose are polystyrene or polypropylene as well as polyvinyl chloride, for example.

La plaquette 1 présente une ouverture 3, assez grande pour que le collier 4 à présenter puisse passer à travers cette ouverture 3 avant d'être fermé. Le passage du collier 4 à travers l'ouverture 3 est effectué de façon qu'après la fermeture du collier 4, la plaquette 1 soit à l'extérieur du collier et que la bande 2 s'étende vers l'intérieur de celui-ci. Cette bande 2 s'applique alors contre la face interne (Fig. 1) du collier 4, c'est-à-dire contre sa face reposant sur le corps de celle qui le porte. Grâce à l'élasticité de la bande 2, le collier 4 est sous-tendu par cette bande.The plate 1 has an opening 3, large enough for the collar 4 to be presented to pass through this opening 3 before being closed. The passage of the collar 4 through the opening 3 is carried out so that after the closure of the collar 4, the plate 1 is on the outside of the collar and the strip 2 extends towards the interior thereof. . This strip 2 is then applied against the internal face (FIG. 1) of the collar 4, that is to say against its face resting on the body of the wearer. Thanks to the elasticity of the band 2, the collar 4 is subtended by this band.

Pour éviter que le collier 4 ne tombe de la bande 2, celle-ci est incurvée entre ses bords latéraux sur toute sa longueur, de façon que sa face tournée vers l'extérieur soit concave, comme le montre la Fig. 2. De plus, les bords latéraux de cette bande 2 sont munis d'ergots 5 de distance en distance.To prevent the collar 4 from falling from the strip 2, the latter is curved between its lateral edges over its entire length, so that its face facing outward is concave, as shown in FIG. 2. In addition, the lateral edges of this strip 2 are provided with pins 5 from distance to distance.

Par rapport à la longueur de la face interne du collier 4, la bande 2 est choisie un peu plus longue, de façon qu'elle s'enroule sur elle-même à l'intérieur de ce collier. Le collier 4 et son présentoir 1, 2 peuvent alors être dressés dans un plan vertical sur une tablette de vitrine (non représentée), de façon que le bord inférieur de la plaquette 1 et la partie inférieure du collier 4 reposent sur cette tablette. L'appui en ces deux endroits assure la stabilité de l'ensemble dans le plan de l'axe longitudinal du collier 4 et la plaquette 1 assure la stabilité de cet ensemble dans un plan perpendiculaire.Relative to the length of the internal face of the collar 4, the band 2 is chosen to be a little longer, so that it is wound on itself inside this collar. The collar 4 and its display unit 1, 2 can then be erected in a vertical plane on a display shelf (not shown), so that the lower edge of the plate 1 and the lower part of the collar 4 rest on this shelf. The support in these two places ensures the stability of the assembly in the plane of the longitudinal axis of the collar 4 and the plate 1 ensures the stability of this assembly in a perpendicular plane.

Des indications relatives à la composition du collier, à sa décoration et éventuellement à sa provenance ou sa marque figureront sur la plaquette 1, qui sera de préférence décorée comme décrit ci-après.Indications relating to the composition of the necklace, to its decoration and possibly to its provenance or its mark will appear on the plate 1, which will preferably be decorated as described below.

Si le poids du collier 4 devait être tel que l'élasticité de la bande 2 ne suffise pas à le sous-tendre dans la position décrite et représentée au dessin, il suffirait d'empêcher le bout libre de la bande 2 de glisser le long de la face interne de cette bande. Dans ce but, une série de saillies, de dépressions ou d'ouvertures (non représentées) pourrait être prévue dans la bande 2 à partir de quelque distance de la plaquette 2 et le bout libre de la bande 2 pourrait être conformé de façon à s'accrocher à l'une ou l'autre des dites saillies, dépressions ou ouvertures.If the weight of the collar 4 were to be such that the elasticity of the band 2 is not sufficient to underpin it in the position described and shown in the drawing, it would suffice to prevent the free end of the band 2 from sliding along of the internal face of this strip. For this purpose, a series of projections, depressions or openings (not shown) could be provided in the strip 2 from some distance from the plate 2 and the free end of the strip 2 could be shaped so as to s '' hang on to one or the other of the said projections, depressions or openings.

Les présentoirs du type mentionné au début, qui sont utilisés le plus fréquemment, sont destinés aux montres-bracelets, comme celui selon la seconde forme d'exécution (Fig. 3). Ce présentoir ne diffère toutefois de celui de la première forme d'exécution que par la longueur de la bande 2, adaptée à celle des bracelets, et par le fait que l'ouverture de sa plaquette 1, au lieu d'être constituée par un trou, est une fente allongée. Celle-ci peut être prévue au milieu de la largeur de la plaquette 1, afin de livrer passage à l'un des brins du bracelet, encore ouvert. Une fente 6, s'étendant jusqu'à l'un des bords latéraux de la plaquette 1, peut toutefois aussi être prévue dans cette dernière. Le bracelet fermé-peut alors être glissé dans cette fente.Displays of the type mentioned at the beginning, which are most frequently used, are intended for wristwatches, like that according to the second embodiment (Fig. 3). This display, however, differs from that of the first embodiment only by the length of the strip 2, adapted to that of the bracelets, and by the fact that the opening of its plate 1, instead of being constituted by a hole, is an elongated slot. This can be provided in the middle of the width of the plate 1, in order to allow passage to one of the strands of the bracelet, still open. A slot 6, extending to one of the side edges of the wafer 1, may however also be provided in the latter. The closed bracelet can then be slid into this slot.

La troisième forme d'exécution (Fig. 4) se distingue de la précédente par le fait qu'elle est agencée de façon à permettre l'utilisation de plaquettes connues, portant les spécifications de la pièce présentée. A cet effet, le bord inférieur 7 de la plaquette 1a du présentoir selon l'invention est replié vers le haut. Il formé ainsi un crochet dans lequel l'anse 8 de la plaquette connue 9 peut être engagée à friction. Selon les moyens d'accrochage existants sur la plaquette 9, il est évident que la plaquette 1a pourrait être munie d'organes correspondants, différents de ceux décrits. La plaquette 1a pourrait même être supprimée et la plaquette 9 collée directement sur l'extrémité de la bande 2.The third embodiment (Fig. 4) is distinguished from the previous one by the fact that it is arranged so as to allow the use of known plates, bearing the specifications of the part presented. To this end, the lower edge 7 of the plate 1a of the display unit according to the invention is folded up. It thus forms a hook in which the handle 8 of the known plate 9 can be frictionally engaged. According to the existing attachment means on the plate 9, it is obvious that the plate 1a could be provided with corresponding members, different from those described. The plate 1a could even be deleted and the plate 9 glued directly to the end of the strip 2.

Vu les dimensions de ces plaquettes connues, il se pourrait que la plaquette 9, montée de la façon décrite, produise un basculement indésirable vers l'arrière de la pièce présentée. Un chevalet 10 permet de pallier cet inconvénient. Le chevalet 10 est monté coulissant sur la bande 2 du présentoir. Il comprend deux flancs obliques 11, de part et d'autre d'une face 12, qui est plaquée contre la surface externe de la bande 2 par deux ergots 13, saisissant les bords opposés de la bande 2. Le chevalet 10 est placé le long de cette bande de façon à surélever la partie inférieure du bracelet de la pièce présentée et à compenser de cette manière la surélévation de la plaquette 1a du présentoir selon l'invention, produite par la plaquette 9.Given the dimensions of these known plates, it could be that the plate 9, mounted in the manner described, produces an undesirable tilting towards the rear of the part presented. An easel 10 overcomes this drawback. The easel 10 is slidably mounted on the strip 2 of the display. It comprises two oblique sides 11, on either side of a face 12, which is pressed against the external surface of the strip 2 by two lugs 13, gripping the opposite edges of the strip 2. The easel 10 is placed on the along this strip so as to raise the lower part of the bracelet of the piece presented and to compensate in this way the elevation of the plate 1a of the display unit according to the invention, produced by the plate 9.

La quatrième forme d'exécution est destinée aux bagues. Dans ce cas, la plaquette 1b du présentoir présente une fente 14 s'étendant jusqu'à l'un de ses bords latéraux, pour permettre d'y glisser une bague 15. Quant à la bande 2a de ce présentoir, elle a naturellement une largeur et surtout une longueur adaptées aux dimensions des bagues.The fourth embodiment is intended for rings. In this case, the plate 1b of the display has a slot 14 extending to one of its lateral edges, to allow a ring 15 to slide therein. As for the strip 2a of this display, it naturally has a width and above all a length adapted to the dimensions of the rings.

La fabrication des présentoirs décrits est aisée, ainsi que l'illustre la Fig. 6. Une série de présentoirs 1, 2 peut, en effet, être découpée d'une bande 16, stockée en rouleau et introduite dans une presse à découper automatique.The manufacture of the displays described is easy, as illustrated in FIG. 6. A series of displays 1, 2 can, in fact, be cut from a strip 16, stored in a roll and introduced into an automatic cutting press.

Afin de donner un aspect attrayant aux plaquettes 2 des présentoirs selon l'invention, on collera des rubans décoratifs 17 en tissu, en cuir ou en matière plastique sur les deux bords de la bande 16. En collant de tels rubans sur les deux faces de la bande 16, il est même possible de permettre l'utilisation des deux faces des présentoirs selon l'invention, chacun de ces présentoirs pouvant alors servir à présenter deux pièces différentes. Les spécifications de la pièce présentée peuvent être formées par décalque sur les rubans 17. Selon les cas, il serait naturellement aussi possible de revêtir les bandes 2 d'un ruban décoratif.In order to give an attractive appearance to the plates 2 of the displays according to the invention, decorative ribbons 17 of fabric, leather or plastic material will be glued on the two edges of the strip 16. By gluing such ribbons on the two faces of the strip 16, it is even possible to allow the use of the two faces of the displays according to the invention, each of these displays can then be used to present two different pieces. The specifications of the part presented can be formed by decal on the ribbons 17. Depending on the case, it would naturally also be possible to coat the strips 2 with a decorative ribbon.

Il n'est pas indispensable que la plaquette solidarisée à la bande du présentoir selon l'invention, se trouve à l'extrémité de cette bande. Elle peut tout aussi bien lui être raccordée latéraie- ment, comme dans la cinquième forme d'exécution (Fig. 7 à 9). Dans ce cas, la bande 18 est venue de fabrication avec un bras 19, s'étendant perpendiculairement à la bande 18, à partir d'un point de l'un de ses bords latéraux. La plaquette 20 est elle-même venue de fabrication avec le bras 19. En variante, elle pourrait également être collée sur l'extrémité du bras 19, comme indiqué en traits mixtes dans la Fig. 9.It is not essential that the wafer secured to the strip of the display unit according to the invention is located at the end of this strip. It can just as easily be connected to it laterally- ment, as in the fifth embodiment (Fig. 7 to 9). In this case, the strip 18 has come from manufacture with an arm 19, extending perpendicular to the strip 18, from a point on one of its lateral edges. The wafer 20 itself came from manufacture with the arm 19. As a variant, it could also be glued to the end of the arm 19, as shown in phantom in FIG. 9.

Dans cette forme d'exécution, la bande 18 est destinée à être enroulée sur elle-même à l'intérieur du bracelet fermé d'une montre (Fig. 7 et 8). Les présentoirs selon cette forme d'exécution tiennent la montre légèrement surélevée, mais dans une position plutôt couchée.In this embodiment, the band 18 is intended to be wound on itself inside the closed strap of a watch (Fig. 7 and 8). The displays according to this embodiment hold the watch slightly raised, but in a rather lying position.

La place disponible pour les indications relatives à la pièce présentée n'est pas limitée aux dimensions que ia fonction de support de la bande du présentoir selon l'invention impose aux plaquettes des cinq formes d'exécution décrites ci-dessus. La sixième forme d'exécution (Fig. 10) montre que la plaquette 21, qui supporte la bande 2 peut, manifestement sans complication, être découpée avec un cadre 22, susceptible de recevoir un grand nombre d'indications.The space available for the indications relating to the piece presented is not limited to the dimensions that the support function of the strip of the display rack according to the invention imposes on the plates of the five embodiments described above. The sixth embodiment (Fig. 10) shows that the plate 21, which supports the strip 2 can, obviously without complication, be cut with a frame 22, capable of receiving a large number of indications.

Enfin, le présentoir selon l'invention ne sert pas uniquement à soutenir des pièces de bijouterie formant une boucle fermée. Le présentoir selon la septième forme d'exécution (Fig. 11 à 13) permet d'exposer une montre avec le bracelet étendu. Il comprend une première bande 23 qui, au repos, est rectiligne, comme dans les formes d'exécution précédentes. Sur sa face opposée à celle appliquée contre le bracelet de la montre, la bande 23 présente une série de tétons 24 équidistants, ainsi que le montrent les flèches a-a. Une seconde bande 25, présentant une série de trous 26, est accrochée à la bande 23 par engagement des tétons 24 dans les trous 26.Finally, the display according to the invention is not only used to support pieces of jewelry forming a closed loop. The display according to the seventh embodiment (Fig. 11 to 13) allows to display a watch with the extended strap. It comprises a first strip 23 which, at rest, is rectilinear, as in the previous embodiments. On its face opposite to that applied against the watch strap, the band 23 has a series of equidistant pins 24, as shown by the arrows a-a. A second strip 25, having a series of holes 26, is attached to the strip 23 by engagement of the pins 24 in the holes 26.

Afin de rigidifier la bande 23 dans la courbe représentée aux Fig. 11 et 12, les trous 26 ne sont pas équidistants. Là où la bande 23 doit être convexe sous le bracelet à soutenir, les distances c, c, indiquées par les flèches b-b, entre les trous 26 sont inférieures à celles d, d entre les tétons 24, et là où la bande 23 doit être concave sous le bracelet, les distances c, c entre les trous 26 sont légèrement supérieures à celles d, d entre les ' tétons 24.In order to stiffen the strip 23 in the curve shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the holes 26 are not equidistant. Where the strip 23 must be convex under the bracelet to be supported, the distances c, c, indicated by the arrows bb, between the holes 26 are less than those d, d between the pins 24, and where the strip 23 must be concave under the bracelet, the distance c, c between the holes 26 are slightly larger than d, d between the 'studs 24.

Pour permettre d'associer étroitement le prix de la pièce présentée à celle-ci, la plaquette 1 (1 a, 1 b, 20, 21) du présentoir selon l'invention pourrait être venue de fabrication avec un téton faisant saillie de l'un de ses bords latéraux, sur lequel un élément tubulaire portant le prix de la pièce présentée pourrait être glissé.To allow the price of the item presented to be closely associated with it, the plate 1 (1a, 1b, 20, 21) of the display unit according to the invention could have come from manufacture with a stud projecting from the one of its side edges, on which a tubular element bearing the price of the part presented could be slipped.

Dans des variantes (non représentées), une même plaquette pourrait être solidarisée, par découpage en une pièce ou par collage, à plus d'une bande. Deux bandes pourraient par exemple être solidarisées à une même plaquette et s'étendre parallèlement ou perpendiculairement l'une à l'autre pour présenter deux montres jumelées, soit l'une à côté de l'autre soit l'une dans une position dressée et l'autre, dans une position couchée.In variants (not shown), the same wafer could be secured, by cutting into a piece or by gluing, to more than one strip. Two bands could for example be secured to the same plate and extend parallel or perpendicular to each other to present two paired watches, either one next to the other or one in an upright position and the other, in a lying position.
