Description

L'invention concerne un présentoir tournant comprenant un socle portant un pivot central d'axe vertical sur lequel est monté un support pour des objets à exposer, ce support étant en forme générale de parallélépipède, formé par au moins quatre panneaux rectangulaires, le support étant relié au pivot central par au moins un bras transversal susceptible de pivoter suivant un axe parallèle à, ou confondu avec, celui du pivot central. Un présentoir de ce genre est décrit dans le brevet USA numéro 3 092 258 et peut être démonté pour être replié lorsque l'on désire le ranger. Il est toutefois nécessaire de décrocher les panneaux de ce présentoir ce qui prend du temps et peut même demander un effort physique important suivant le poids des objets fixés à ces panneaux.The invention relates to a rotating display comprising a base carrying a central pivot of vertical axis on which is mounted a support for objects to be exhibited, this support being in the general shape of a parallelepiped, formed by at least four rectangular panels, the support being connected to the central pivot by at least one transverse arm capable of pivoting along an axis parallel to, or coincident with, that of the central pivot. A display of this kind is described in US patent number 3,092,258 and can be disassembled to be folded when it is desired to store it. However, it is necessary to unhook the panels from this display which takes time and can even require significant physical effort depending on the weight of the objects attached to these panels.

L'invention à pour but de faciliter le rangement des présentoirs, par exemple pour les enfermer dans un local pendant la nuit et de permettre un déplacement aisé de ceux-ci lorsque le commerçant désir les mettre sur leur place d'utilisation quotidienne. Ce but est atteint grâce au fait que les panneaux rectangulaires sont articulés les uns aux autres suivant des axes longeant leurs côtés contigus pour former un ensemble repliable, les panneaux étant ramenés sensiblement parallèlement entre eux en position repliée du support et en ce que le bras transversal est articulé par ses deux extrémités au milieu des deux bords supérieurs de deux panneaux opposés, la position relative entre le bras transversal et lesdits panneaux opposés pouvant être fixée.The invention aims to facilitate the storage of displays, for example to lock them in a room overnight and allow easy movement thereof when the merchant wishes to put them in their place of daily use. This object is achieved thanks to the fact that the rectangular panels are articulated to each other along axes along their contiguous sides to form a foldable assembly, the panels being brought substantially parallel to each other in the folded position of the support and in that the transverse arm is articulated by its two ends in the middle of the two upper edges of two opposite panels, the relative position between the transverse arm and said opposite panels can be fixed.

Des modes particuliers de réalisation de l'invention aparaissent dans les revendications dépendantes 2 à 4.Particular embodiments of the invention appear in dependent claims 2 to 4.

Le dessin annexé représente schématiquement, et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution du présentoir objet de l'invention.

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective de cette forme d'exécution.
  • La figure 2 en est une vue en plan en position déployée du support.
  • La figure 3 en est une vue en plan en position repliée du support.
The accompanying drawing shows schematically, and by way of example, an embodiment of the display object of the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of this embodiment.
  • Figure 2 is a plan view in the deployed position of the support.
  • Figure 3 is a plan view in the folded position of the support.

Le présentoir illustré comprend un socle 1 comprenant quatre pieds constitués par les bras 2, 3, 4 et 5 de deux plaques combinées chacune à une partie cylindrique 6, respectivement 7, destinée à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure d'un tube 8. Ce dernier est monté pivotant dans les parties cylindriques 6 et 7 et constitue ainsi un pivot central pour un support d'exposition 9.The illustrated display unit comprises a base 1 comprising four feet constituted by the arms 2, 3, 4 and 5 of two plates each combined with a cylindrical part 6, respectively 7, intended to receive the lower end of a tube 8. The latter is pivotally mounted in the cylindrical parts 6 and 7 and thus constitutes a central pivot for an exhibition support 9.

Le support 9 est formé par quatre panneaux, dont on n'a représenté que le cadre pour rendre le dessin plus clair. Ces cadres sont bien entendu destinés à porter des éléments destinés à recevoir les objets à exposer, par exemple des cartes postales, brochures, cartes de géographie, etc. Ces éléments peuvent être formés par un grillage ou un panneau plein, présentant des petits réceptacles, ou encore des trous et/ou des crochets permettant de suspendre des objets divers.The support 9 is formed by four panels, of which only the frame has been shown to make the drawing clearer. These frames are of course intended to carry elements intended to receive the objects to be exhibited, for example postcards, brochures, geography maps, etc. These elements can be formed by a mesh or a solid panel, having small receptacles, or even holes and / or hooks for hanging various objects.

Chaque cadre comprend deux montants verticaux 10 et 11 reliés à deux traverses horizontales 12 et respectivement 13. Le montant 10 d'un cadre est articulé au montant 11 contigu du cadre voisin par des charnières élémentaires 14 qui sont constituées simplement par un crochet 15 formant gond engagé dans un oeillet 16 du montant 11.Each frame comprises two vertical uprights 10 and 11 connected to two horizontal crosspieces 12 and 13 respectively. The upright 10 of a frame is articulated to the upright 11 contiguous to the neighboring frame by elementary hinges 14 which are constituted simply by a hook 15 forming a hinge engaged in an eyelet 16 of the amount 11.

Les traverses horizontales 12 et 13, qui constituent les bords supérieur et inférieur d'un panneau, sont articulées par leur milieu sur deux bras 17 et 18 transversaux, fixés au tube central 8. Le panneau opposé est également articulé sur ses bras 17 et 18 par le milieu de ses bords supérieur et inférieur. L'articulation sur les bras 17 et 18 est réalisée au moyen de vis 19 et 20, qui permettent le pivotement des traverses 12 et 13 par rapport aux bras 17 et 18 lorsqu'elles sont désserrées, mais qui permettent d'en fixer la position relative par un simple serrage. Ces vis présentent une tête à mollette permettant de les serrer et de les desserrer sans avoir recours à un outil particulier.The horizontal crosspieces 12 and 13, which constitute the upper and lower edges of a panel, are articulated by their middle on two transverse arms 17 and 18, fixed to the central tube 8. The opposite panel is also articulated on its arms 17 and 18 through the middle of its upper and lower edges. The articulation on the arms 17 and 18 is carried out by means of screws 19 and 20, which allow the pivoting of the crosspieces 12 and 13 relative to the arms 17 and 18 when they are loosened, but which make it possible to fix their position relative by a simple tightening. These screws have a knurled head to tighten and loosen them without using a special tool.

Comme le montre bien la figure 2, le support 9 présente en position déployée la forme d'un parallélépipède de section carrée. Lorsque l'usager veut replier le présentoir pour le ranger, il lui suffit de desserrer les vis 19 et 20 pour lui permettre de ramener les panneaux sensiblement parallèles entre eux, comme le suggère la figure 3 qui représente en plan le présentoir un peu avant la fin du mouvement de repliage. Les quatre pieds sont également repliés les uns contre les autres, de sorte que l'ensemble n'occupe plus qu'un volume minime, ce qui permet par exemple de placer plusieurs présentoirs les uns contre les autres à l'intérieur d'un local de petite dimension.As clearly shown in Figure 2, the support 9 has in the deployed position the shape of a parallelepiped of square section. When the user wants to fold the display to store it, he just has to loosen the screws 19 and 20 to allow him to bring the panels substantially parallel together, as suggested in Figure 3 which shows in plan the display a little before the end of the folding movement. The four legs are also folded against each other, so that the whole occupies only a minimal volume, which allows for example to place several displays against each other inside a room small.

On peut bien entendu prévoir de nombreuses variantes et le support pourrait notamment comprendre deux bras transversaux supérieurs et deux bras inférieurs, de sorte que les quatre panneaux pourraient être reliés au tube central, ce qui rendrait l'ensemble plus rigide. Bien entendu, dans un tel cas, il est nécessaire que les deux bras supérieurs et les deux bras inférieurs puissent pivoter l'un par rapport à l'autre autour du tube 8.It is of course possible to provide many variants and the support could in particular comprise two upper transverse arms and two lower arms, so that the four panels could be connected to the central tube, which would make the assembly more rigid. Of course, in such a case, it is necessary that the two upper arms and the two lower arms can pivot relative to each other around the tube 8.

Dans une version simplifiée, on pourrait se contenter du seul bras supérieur 17, le bras inférieur 18 étant omis. Le support 9 serait alors seulement suspendu librement sur l'extrémité du tube 8.In a simplified version, one could be satisfied with the single upper arm 17, the lower arm 18 being omitted. The support 9 would then only be suspended freely on the end of the tube 8.

Le support pourrait aussi comporter plus de quatre panneaux, de façon à prendre une forme s'approchant sensiblement d'un cylindre. On pourrait par exemple prévoir six panneaux, mais il paraît préférable d'en prévoir huit, ce qui permettrait de replier l'ensemble de façon à occuper un minimum de place.The support could also include more than four panels, so as to take a shape approaching substantially a cylinder. One could for example provide six panels, but it seems preferable to provide eight, which would fold the whole so as to occupy a minimum of space.
