Definitions

  • the invention is based on a device for displaying objects with at least one pane made of transparent material and with fastening elements for connecting the pane to the other parts of the device and / or for holding additional devices.
  • the invention relates to so-called exhibition showcases, display cases and cupboards, such as those used in museums in large numbers and in various forms.
  • a common type of display case of this type has a frame construction made of wood, metal or plastic with glass panes fastened in the frame of this construction. Even if, as a rule, the frames are made as narrow and graceful as possible with considerable technical and financial outlay, a grid-like character which is disruptive when being displayed cannot be avoided.
  • a number of display cabinets or cupboards have a lower base part with a hood sitting thereon, preferably made of all-glass construction.
  • a hood can carry a box at the top, which is used to hold lighting fixtures and, for example, to attach a hanging interior with glass trays.
  • the object of the invention is to create an improved device for displaying objects of the type mentioned at the outset, which ensures that the fastening elements are largely inconspicuous using simple technical means.
  • a decisive advantage of the display device according to the invention is that all the fastening elements for connecting the panes and for holding additional devices are invisible. Inexpensive and stable elements of any type and size can therefore be used, which allow a safe and optimally favorable connection and attachment.
  • the fastening elements are provided directly on the inside of the panes and can also be used in any configuration, the continuous panes, which are only invisible in some areas, can be connected to one another without a base and frame structures. In this way, a very inexpensive showcase can be constructed, which achieves an optimal decorative effect due to the uninterrupted, completely flat glass surfaces without visible brackets.
  • the exhibits can be displayed in the transparent areas without any annoying constructional means.
  • panes In addition, the possibility of attaching additional devices is unlimited. So the division of the panes into transparent and opaque areas is arbitrary, so that extensive additional devices can be attached at any height. Due to the direct possible connection of the panes to one another, it is advisable to use high-strength glass panes, so that even heavy parts can all be attached to the panes and, for example, light boxes or base boxes can be avoided in any case. The light grid, lighting fixtures and top covers are simply attached directly to the panes.
  • the width and height of the showcase can also be freely selected as far as possible.
  • the angle at which the panes are connected to one another is also variable, so that the display case can be fully adapted to the respective exhibition space without the need for structural changes in the mechanical structure.
  • the customer is not bound to such standardized boxes for the display case according to the invention. He can also have showcases individually tailored to his needs at low cost and, for example, order L - shaped or polygonal devices.
  • the display case according to the invention which can be easily produced from high-strength glass, offers a high level of accident protection without incurring additional costs for safety glazing, as are unavoidable in conventional constructions.
  • bulletproof glass is to be used in conventional showcase constructions, there are complex, expensive and large special profiles and frames necessary. In contrast, the use of bulletproof glass in the display case according to the invention is possible without structural changes and decorative losses.
  • Decorative effects can also be achieved indefinitely, for example by replacing decorative elements on the completely smooth surfaces, depending on the purpose of the exhibition.
  • Decorative effects can also be achieved indefinitely, for example by replacing decorative elements on the completely smooth surfaces, depending on the purpose of the exhibition.
  • the display case according to the invention consists of smooth, closed surfaces, cleaning is particularly simple and the risk of dust accumulation is low.
  • multi-layer panes with a colored intermediate layer are provided.
  • this type of pane has the advantage that problems of attaching fastening elements on such a layer are eliminated.
  • the multilayer glass pane like the pane coated on the inside, offers the advantage of a completely reflective surface. Thanks to the almost unlimited strength of multilayer glass panes, excellent burglary protection can be achieved.
  • the non-visible and therefore arbitrarily designed fasteners can be designed so that the display case is broken down into optimally stackable ones plate-shaped parts is possible. Suitable fasteners can also be used for self-supporting whole glass constructions.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention for displaying objects or the display case according to the invention.
  • This consists of several panes 2, these panes preferably being made of glass, but, for example, unbreakable plexiglass panes are not excluded.
  • the panes have an opaque region 2a in the lower region and a corresponding upper opaque region 2b.
  • the opaque areas can be produced in the transparent panes in such a way that corresponding, preferably colored layers are applied to the outside of the pane.
  • Such a coating can be achieved by painting or gluing.
  • an inner coating has the advantage that the outer surface remains entirely reflective and is also not more expensive.
  • the attachment of fastening elements on the inside of the pane is difficult with an inside coating, since damage to the coating must be avoided in any case.
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section through the in FIG. 1 showcase shown.
  • the fasteners 3 which are only hinted at here, can be of any size and are uncomplicated to implement, except that they would reduce the decorative effect of the showcase. This means that the most suitable, cheapest and safest connection can be selected for every additional device regardless of its dimensions.
  • a display case base 8 is, for example, simply placed on fastening elements 3 and easily removable.
  • a cover plate 7 is located inside the showcase, so that unsightly edges of such a cover plate are no longer visible.
  • a light grid 4 can be fastened via fastening elements both to the glass panes 2 and, for example, to the cover plate 7.
  • numerous other additional devices can be installed in the opaque areas 2a and 2b without great technical effort and inexpensively.
  • the type of assembly is the same for simple glass panes, laminated glass and tempered glass panes.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 showcase can also be placed 3/4 round rods on the completely flat glass surfaces at the corners, through which, for example, a riser for the power supply of the lighting device is integrated. It is also possible not to let the glass panes collide directly, but rather with corner bars or right to connect corner profiles. Abutting glass panes can also be connected on the inside by triangular profiles. A corner connection of mitred glass panes is also conceivable. Furthermore, the flat glass surfaces can be glued with a wide variety of profiles and decorative strips or surfaces.
  • FIG. 3 shows an octagonal display case in cross-section, with various possibilities for attaching removable glass panes being shown. Since the panes can be connected to one another without a base, such an octagonal embodiment does not pose any structural difficulties. Hinges for a wing door 9 are provided in suitably provided invisible areas of the panes. Since these hinges are not visible, stable, inexpensive and larger fittings can be used.
  • FIG. 4 shows a table showcase in cross section, as is often required for museums and shops of all kinds.
  • the opaque areas 2a are formed only in the lower area of the display case down to the bottom, as is also shown in FIG. 5, which is a perspective view of the showcase of FIG. 4.
  • the otherwise complex and large, often non-reusable base part of the usual table showcases is completely eliminated, since the showcase shown is an all-glass construction.
  • this all-glass construction is considerably cheaper and more variable, it offers the decisive advantage of a particularly appealing exterior, especially since there are no unsightly heels between glass and metal surfaces, but continuous reflective surfaces are present.
  • the FIG. 6 shows an exhibition display case which is particularly suitable for installation on a wall or is intended for installation in niches.
  • the rear wall surface of the display case shown is opaque over the entire surface, preferably colored.
  • the side panes have an opaque area 2c connecting these areas.
  • the solid-colored back wall can consist of a glass pane or of any other suitable material and can be exchanged for various exhibition purposes.
  • the lighting of this display case can take place as shown in FIG. 2 is indicated, however, it is also possible to illuminate this showcase and many other showcases by emitting light from a suitable ceiling lamp into the showcase.
  • a punctiform light source can be provided as a ceiling lamp, the light of which is broken down and radiated into the display case as diffuse light.
  • the light from the external light source can be scattered by a light scattering grid, which is only covered by a dust protection pane. If there is sufficient ambient light, this can serve to illuminate the showcase in such a way that an additional light source for the showcase can be dispensed with.
