Definitions

  • the invention relates to a price tag with a holder for carriers for displaying price information composed of several characters and / or other goods information.
  • price tags In retail stores, supermarkets and the like. it is common to place large price tags on shelves in which goods to be sold are stacked, on which prices and further information about the goods concerned are given in clearly legible large numbers and letters. These price tags are often hung above the shelves, and they can have dimensions in the order of A4 to A1 or larger, as required. In the simplest case, the required information is simply written on the price tags, but this means that the price tag can only be used once and must be discarded if the price changes. Since the price tags should also have a pleasing appearance, great care must be taken when labeling them, and personnel specially trained for labeling must be employed.
  • Price tags that can be hung on shelves are also known, in which the price information can be put together by attaching individual, number-bearing labels to a holder.
  • the labels are inserted in shafts that have windows open to the viewing side through which the number on the label can be seen.
  • the flexibility in displaying the price information is very limited, since the size of the number tags is predetermined by the slots. Since the relationship between the label size, the size of the digits affixed to it and the spacing of the digits from each other is quite fixed in order to achieve an aesthetic representation of the price information, it is not readily possible to use different digit sizes.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a price tag of the type described, the very can be used flexibly and always maintains a pleasing and appealing look even with different types of pricing.
  • this object is achieved in that at least the carriers for displaying the individual characters are cassettes which can be connected to the holder at the locations of the price information and each contain a complete set of all characters to be displayed with them.
  • individual cassettes are used for the display of one character, which cassettes are connected next to one another to display multi-digit characters, that is to say for example price information.
  • multi-digit characters that is to say for example price information.
  • the size of the holder is fixed, several large-format cassettes with which the characters can be displayed in a correspondingly large size or several small-format cassettes with a correspondingly smaller representation of the characters can be connected to the holder, with a larger number of digits of course being possible when using the smaller cassettes is.
  • the information composed of the characters for example the price information, always forms a closed block, so that the desired pleasing appearance is obtained. It is also possible to use larger and smaller cassettes with corresponding larger and smaller character representations at the same time.
  • cassettes can be attached to both sides of the holder.
  • the price tag can be attached, for example, in the middle above a shelf loaded with goods on both sides, price information for a product on one side of the shelf and price information for a product on the other side of the shelf on the other side.
  • An advantageous development of the invention consists in that fastening elements are attached to the rear sides of the cassettes and can be inserted into corresponding, complementarily shaped fastening elements in the holder for connecting the cassettes to the holder.
  • the fastening elements on the cassettes and on the holder can preferably be inserted into one another in the manner of push buttons.
  • the price tag shown in Fig. 1 contains as a basic component a holder 10 which has the shape of a flat plate. Individual cassettes 12 can be detachably connected to the holder 10.
  • guide strips 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 are connected to the holder and can hold an information plate 26, 28 indicated by dashed lines on each side of the holder.
  • the guide strips 14 to 24 are releasably connected to the holder 10 by means of pins 30 and corresponding holes 32 in the holder 10; but they can also be attached in a non-detachable manner or be formed in one piece with the holder 10.
  • By making a plurality of holes 32 or a plurality of rows of holes it is possible to connect guide strips 14 to 24 with different lengths to the holder 10, so that information plates 26, 28 of different sizes can be attached accordingly.
  • the information signs 26, 28 usually carry product names or information about the quantity of goods, the origin, the nature of the goods or the like, for which the price indicated on the price tag applies.
  • a cassette 12 is shown in a front view, wherein the lid 34 attached to the upper end is folded up. Since the cassette is preferably made of plastic, the articulated connection between the lid and the cassette body can be produced simply by reducing the wall thickness in the area of the folds 36 and 38 accordingly.
  • a set of labels 40 is inserted, which consists of so many individual labels that all the characters to be displayed by means of the cartridge can be shown.
  • the shield set 40 is inserted so that the number 1 is displayed.
  • the lid 34 is folded down so that the cassette 12 looks as shown in FIG. 1. As can be seen in FIG.
  • projections 42 and 44 are attached to the side edges of the cover 34, which engage in corresponding recesses 46, 48 in the side walls of the cassette 12 when the cover is closed and hold the cover 34 securely in the closed state.
  • the label set can consist of several individual labels 54 which are held together by means of a plastic spring 56 which is guided through holes near the upper edge of the labels. If this type of label set is used, cassettes 12 are used, the lids 34 of which are provided with a cutout 58, as is shown for the lid 34a of the left-most cassette in FIG. 1. By providing this cutout 58, the space required to accommodate the plastic spring 56 is created.
  • the shield set 40 can also be designed as shown in FIG. 6, namely in the form of a zigzag-folded strip 60, in which the respective straight sections have the function of a shield. 5, each of the signs 54 can be brought into the foremost position, in which the desired number can be recognized, while in the case of the sign set according to FIG. 6, the desired number can be moved by appropriately folding the strip 60 into can be brought to the front.
  • a set of individual labels can of course also be inserted into the cassette, so that the entire supply of characters to be displayed is always available.
  • projections 62 are attached to the back of the cassette and can be inserted into corresponding holes 64 in the holder 10.
  • the projections 62 have a thickened end, and by making a slot their ends are slightly compressible, so that when inserted into the holes 64 they generate a sufficient holding force which ensures that the cassettes 12 are held in place.
  • the holes 64 are made in a selected grid and the position of the protrusions 62 on the back of the cassette are chosen so that the cassettes 12 are lined up without a gap after the protrusions 62 have been inserted into the holes 64, as shown in FIG . Even when using cartridges with larger or smaller dimensions, the relationships between the protrusions 62 and the holes 64 are maintained, so that a complete stringing together is also possible with such cartridges.
  • the projections 62 on the back of the cassette are not exactly one above the other along the center line of the cassette, but are attached to opposite sides with respect to the center line. This means, for example, that the lower projection 62 of the rightmost cartridge 12 in FIG. 1 engages the rightmost hole in the lower row of the holder of FIG. 4, while the upper projection 62 engages this cartridge 12 in the third Hole engages from the right in the top row of holes 64. If the holder 10 is provided with cassettes 12 from both sides, a cassette can be attached to the holder 10 in the same place as the mentioned cassette 12 in FIG.
  • the holder 10 can be surrounded by a frame in the manner of a picture frame, which gives the price tag an even more pleasing appearance.
  • the holder 10 has a thickness that corresponds approximately to the length of the projections 62. This means that when a cassette 12 is attached to the holder 10, the projections 62 do not protrude on the other side of the holder. The attachment of cassettes on the other side of the holder is not hindered by the projections 62. In the described embodiment of the projections 62 with a thickened end, however, a particularly good holding effect is achieved if the holder 10 is made thinner, so that the thickened end of the projections 62 emerges on the side of the holder 10 facing away from the cassette.
  • the cassettes 12 have corresponding recesses 70 on their rear side, into which the projecting thickened ends of the cassette mounted on the other side of the holder 10 can penetrate.
  • the projections 62 are attached to the back of the cassette at the two diagonally opposite corner points of an imaginary rectangle, and the recesses 70 are also attached diagonally opposite at the two remaining corner points of the rectangle. In this way, even when using a very thin holder 10 cassettes 12 can be attached to the holder 10 from both sides, so that a price label can be read from both sides.
