Description

La présente invention est relative aux dispositifs de présentation de marchandises et produits divers, notamment dans des magasins de vente.The present invention relates to devices for displaying various goods and products, in particular in sales stores.

Plus précisément, elle concerne les dispositifs de présentation du type communément dénommé "gondoles". En général, ces dispositifs comprennent d'une part des supports horizontaux pourvus d'équerres verticales susceptibles d'être accrochées de façon amovible sur des montants fixes, et d'autre part des corbeilles, plateaux ou autres réceptacles destinés à être placés sur ces supports horizontaux pour recevoir les produits à présenter.More specifically, it relates to presentation devices of the type commonly known as "gondolas". In general, these devices comprise on the one hand horizontal supports provided with vertical brackets capable of being removably hung on fixed uprights, and on the other hand baskets, trays or other receptacles intended to be placed on these supports horizontal to receive the products to be presented.

Les brevets US 4,533,056 et GB 2,042,872 décrivent des dispositifs dans lesquels il est prévu des plateaux de présentation en fils métalliques qui sont accrochés, de manière amovible, sur des équerres de support, elles-mêmes accrochées sur des montants verticaux. Dans le cas du brevet US 4,533,056, l'agencement est tel que les plateaux de présentation peuvent être fixés dans des positions différentes qui sont variables dans le sens de la profondeur.The patents US 4,533,056 and GB 2,042,872 describe devices in which there are provided trays of metal wires which are removably hung on support brackets, themselves hung on vertical uprights. In the case of US Pat. No. 4,533,056, the arrangement is such that the presentation trays can be fixed in different positions which are variable in the direction of the depth.

Mais dans un cas comme dans l'autre, il n'y a aucune possibilité de réglage dans le sens de la longueur des plateaux. En effet, ceux-ci ont une longueur immuable déterminant l'écartement à prévoir entre les montants verticaux sur lesquels sont accrochés les équerres de support. Il n'est donc pas possible d'envisager une modification de cet écartement pour s'adapter aux dimensions particulières d'une paroi déterminée. Par ailleurs avec les dispositifs mentionnés ci-dessus, il n'est pas non plus possible de réaliser des rayons continus de présentation pouvant avoir une longueur plus ou moins importante. En effet, les plateaux pourraient tout au plus être disposés les uns à la suite des autres à un même niveau. Mais il y aurait inévitablement un intervalle entre deux plateaux successifs et par suite une absence de continuité réelle et de solidarité entre ces divers plateaux.But in either case, there is no possibility of adjustment in the direction of the length of the plates. Indeed, these have an immutable length determining the spacing to be provided between the vertical uprights on which the support brackets are hung. It is therefore not possible to envisage a modification of this spacing to adapt to the particular dimensions of a given wall. Furthermore, with the devices mentioned above, it nor is it possible to produce continuous presentation radii which may have a greater or lesser length. In fact, the trays could at most be arranged one after the other at the same level. But there would inevitably be an interval between two successive plateaus and consequently an absence of real continuity and solidarity between these various plateaus.

C'est pourquoi la présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de présentation permettant de réaliser des rayons de présentation de longueur variable, pouvant s'étendre éventuellement sur une grande longueur. Ce dispositif est également conçu de façon que les équerres de fixation, supportant les réceptacles de présentation, puissent présenter un écartement variable. A cet effet ce dispositif comprend d'une part des corbeilles ou autres réceptables en fils métalliques destinés à recevoir les produits à présenter, et d'autre part des support horizontaux pourvus d'équerres verticales susceptibles d'être accrochées de façon amovible sur des montants fixes, ces supports horizontaux étant pourvus de corchets et de butées aptes à assurer la fixation en place des réceptacles disposés sur ceux-ci. Cependant ce dispositif est caractérisé en ce que chaque support horizontal comprend deux longerons télescopiques s'étendant entre les équerres verticales d'accrochage du support correspondant, et chacune de ces dernières est constituée par un fil métallique coudé contre les branches duquel sont rapportés, avec un espacement approprié, deux pattes verticales servant d'élément de fixation pour les extrémités des deux longerons horizontaux du support correspondant.This is why the aim of the present invention is to propose a presentation device making it possible to produce presentation rays of variable length, which may possibly extend over a great length. This device is also designed so that the fixing brackets, supporting the presentation receptacles, can have a variable spacing. To this end, this device comprises on the one hand baskets or other receptacles made of metal wires intended to receive the products to be presented, and on the other hand horizontal supports provided with vertical brackets capable of being removably hung on uprights fixed, these horizontal supports being provided with hooks and stops capable of fixing in place the receptacles arranged thereon. However, this device is characterized in that each horizontal support comprises two telescopic beams extending between the vertical fixing brackets of the corresponding support, and each of the latter consists of a metal wire bent against the branches of which are attached, with a appropriate spacing, two vertical legs serving as a fixing element for the ends of the two horizontal beams of the corresponding support.

Ainsi les supports horizontaux, prévus dans le présent dispositif, sont de longueur variable. Ceci permet donc de s'adapter à des variations d'écartement des montants verticaux sur lesquels sont accrochées les équerres de ces supports. De plus ceux-ci peuvent ainsi recevoir des réceptacles de longueur variable, et même des réceptacles de très grande longueur.Thus the horizontal supports, provided in the present device, are of variable length. This therefore makes it possible to adapt to variations in the spacing of the vertical uprights on which the brackets of these supports are hung. In addition, they can thus receive receptacles of variable length, and even receptacles of very long length.

Dans une forme avantageuse de réalisation du présent dispositif, les réceptacles destinés à recevoir les produits à présenter consistent en des éléments en fils métalliques affectant la forme générale d'une sorte d'auge dépourvue de parois d'extrémité, et il est prévu en combinaison des éléments de jonction en fils métalliques affectant sensiblement la même forme et dont certains au moins des fils longitudinaux se terminent par des crochets saillants aptes à s'accrocher sur certains des fils transversaux de deux réceptacles disposés l'un à la suite de l'autre avec un espacement variable.In an advantageous embodiment of the present device, the receptacles intended to receive the products to be presented consist of metal wire elements having the general shape of a sort of trough devoid of end walls, and it is provided in combination junction elements made of metal wires having substantially the same shape and at least some of the longitudinal wires of which terminate in projecting hooks capable of hooking on certain of the transverse wires of two receptacles arranged one after the other with variable spacing.

Ainsi ces éléments de jonction permettent d'assurer une parfaite continuité entre les différents réceptacles. Ceci présente l'avantage de conférer un aspect particulièrement esthétique à l'ensemble du dispositif de présentation. Cependant ceci a également l'avantage d'autoriser une plus grande souplesse d'utilisation des réceptacles en permettant de les subdiviser en compartiments de longueur quelconque, en fonction des cas et applications, et ce simplement en déplaçant les cloisons amovibles prévues par ailleurs dans ces réceptacles.Thus these junction elements ensure perfect continuity between the different receptacles. This has the advantage of giving a particularly aesthetic appearance to the entire presentation device. However, this also has the advantage of allowing greater flexibility in the use of the receptacles by allowing them to be subdivided into compartments of any length, depending on the cases and applications, and this simply by moving the removable partitions provided for elsewhere in these receptacles.

Cependant d'autres particularités et avantages du présent dispositif de présentation selon l'invention apparaitront au cours de la description suivante. Celle-ci est donnée en référence au dessin annexé à simple titre indicatif, et sur lequel:

Ainsi qu'il a déjà été indiqué le dispositif selon l'invention comprend une série de supports horizontaux 1 fixés de façon amovible sur des montants verticaux 2 solidaires d'un socle ou fixés contre un mur, des panneaux d'habillage (non représentés) étant disposés entre ces montants. Sur leur face avant, ceux-ci comportent une succession de lumières 3 de forme allongée qui sont régulièrement espacées, celles-ci étant destinées à recevoir les crochets de fixation des supports horizontaux 1.As already indicated, the device according to the invention comprises a series of horizontal supports 1 removably fixed on vertical uprights 2 secured to a base or fixed against a wall, covering panels (not shown) being arranged between these uprights. On their front face, these comprise a succession of slots 3 of elongated shape which are regularly spaced, these being intended to receive the hooks for fixing the horizontal supports 1.

Ainsi qu'il apparaît clairement d'après la figure 1, chacun de ces supports est constitué par deux longerons horizontaux 4a et 4b, disposés l'un derrière l'autre avec un espacement déterminé, et dont les extrémités sont fixées sur des équerres désignées chacune par la référence générale 5. Chacun des longerons 4a ou 4b est constitué par deux tubes respectivement 6a, 6b et 7a, 7b qui sont engagés l'un dans l'autre de façon télescopique. Ceci permet de régler à volonté la largeur de chaque support horizontal en fonction de l'écartement prévu entre les montants verticaux 2.As it appears clearly from FIG. 1, each of these supports is constituted by two horizontal beams 4a and 4b, arranged one behind the other with a determined spacing, and the ends of which are fixed on designated brackets each by the general reference 5. Each of the beams 4a or 4b is made up by two tubes respectively 6a, 6b and 7a, 7b which are engaged one in the other telescopically. This allows the width of each horizontal support to be adjusted as desired according to the spacing provided between the vertical uprights 2.

Chaque équerre 5 est constituée par un fil métallique coudé 8 dont les extrémités sont fixées sur une plaque verticale 9 en tôle. Le bord vertical externe de cette plaque comporte, à sa partie supérieure, un crochet découpé 10 apte à être engagé dans l'une des lumières 3 d'un montant 2. A sa partie inférieure, ce même bord comporte en outre une protubérance 11 d'appui. Contre les branches du fil 8 de chaque équerre sont rapportées deux pattes verticales 12a et 12b en métal sur lesquelles sont fixées par soudure les extrémités correspondantes des longerons 4a et 4b.Each bracket 5 is formed by a bent metal wire 8, the ends of which are fixed to a vertical plate 9 made of sheet metal. The external vertical edge of this plate comprises, at its upper part, a cut-out hook 10 able to be engaged in one of the openings 3 of an upright 2. At its lower part, this same edge also comprises a protuberance 11 d 'support. Against the branches of the wire 8 of each bracket are reported two vertical legs 12a and 12b of metal on which are fixed by welding the corresponding ends of the side members 4a and 4b.

Les extrémités supérieures des deux pattes 12a et 12b font saillie au-dessus de la branche supérieure du fil 8 de l'équerre correspondante. Comme il ressort de la figure 1, l'extrémité supérieure des pattes arrière 12a est découpée en forme de crochet 13 ouvert dans la direction opposée à celle de la plaque de fixation 9 de l'équerre correspondante. Quant à l'extrémité supérieure 14 des pattes avant 12b, elle constitue simplement un plot saillant susceptible de servir de butée d'immobilisation, ainsi qu'il sera expliqué plus loin.The upper ends of the two legs 12a and 12b project above the upper branch of the wire 8 of the corresponding bracket. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the upper end of the rear legs 12a is cut in the form of a hook 13 open in the direction opposite to that of the fixing plate 9 of the corresponding bracket. As for the upper end 14 of the front legs 12b, it simply constitutes a protruding stud capable of serving as an immobilization stop, as will be explained below.

En combinaison avec les supports horizontaux décrits ci-dessus, le présent dispositif comprend une série de réceptacles 15 en fils métalliques qui sont destinés à recevoir les produits à présenter. Ces réceptacles affectent la forme générale d'une auge de présentation dont la paroi avant 16 présente une hauteur plus faible que celle de la paroi arrière 17 afin de faciliter l'accès à l'intérieur. De plus, cette paroi avant comporte un rebord supérieur 18 incliné vers l'avant et dont le rôle sera expliqué plus loin. Le fond 20 de chacun de ces réceptacles, ainsi que les parois avant et arrière, sont constitués par des fils métalliques entrecroisés. Les uns 21 s'étendent sans le sens longitudinal et les autres 22 dans le sens transversal.In combination with the horizontal supports described above, the present device comprises a series of receptacles 15 made of metal wires which are intended to receive the products to be presented. These receptacles have the general shape of a presentation trough, the front wall 16 of which has a lower height than that of the rear wall 17 in order to facilitate access to the interior. In addition, this front wall has an upper edge 18 inclined towards the front. and whose role will be explained later. The bottom 20 of each of these receptacles, as well as the front and rear walls, are constituted by crossed metal wires. Some 21 extend without the longitudinal direction and the others 22 in the transverse direction.

L'agencement est tel que lors de la mise en place d'un réceptacle 15 sur un support horizontal 1, l'un des fils longitudinaux 21 de son fond 20 puisse être engagé dans les deux crochets 13 portés par les équerres d'extrémité 5 du support horizontal 1 correspondant. Quand la mise en place d'un réceptacle 15 est achevée, les plots saillants 14 portés par les équerres d'extrémité 5 se trouvent alors disposés devant un autre fil longitudinal 21 du fond 20 de ce réceptacle (voir figure 2). Ceci assure une parfaite immobilisation du réceptacle sur son support.The arrangement is such that when placing a receptacle 15 on a horizontal support 1, one of the longitudinal wires 21 of its bottom 20 can be engaged in the two hooks 13 carried by the end brackets 5 of the corresponding horizontal support 1. When the installation of a receptacle 15 is completed, the projecting studs 14 carried by the end brackets 5 are then placed in front of another longitudinal wire 21 of the bottom 20 of this receptacle (see FIG. 2). This ensures perfect immobilization of the receptacle on its support.

Pour effectuer la mise en place de ce réceptacle, il suffit de le présenter initialement dans une position légèrement inclinée afin d'engager le fil longitudinal 21 correspondant de son fond 20 dans les crochets 13 sans que les plots saillants 14 constituent alors une gêne. Il convient de noter que l'écartement E prévu entre les crochets 13 et les plots saillants 14 est déterminé en tenant compte de l'intervalle existant entre les fils longitudinaux 21 du fond 20 des réceptacles 15.To carry out the establishment of this receptacle, it suffices to present it initially in a slightly inclined position in order to engage the corresponding longitudinal wire 21 from its bottom 20 in the hooks 13 without the protruding studs 14 then constituting a discomfort. It should be noted that the spacing E provided between the hooks 13 and the projecting studs 14 is determined by taking account of the interval existing between the longitudinal wires 21 of the bottom 20 of the receptacles 15.

Ces réceptacles peuvent présenter une longueur plus ou moins grande. Etant donné qu'il est en général prévu un module d'écartement de 1000 ou 1300 mm entre les montants 2 d'une gondole de présentation, la longueur des corbeilles peut être par exemple de 985 mm ou de 1285 mm. Dans ces conditions lorsqu' une série de réceptacles 15 sont disposés les uns à la suites des autres à un même niveau, il existe des intervalles plus ou moins grand entre ceux-ci. Pour assurer une continuïté entre ces réceptacles, il est donc prévu des éléments de jonction tels que les éléments 23 représentés aux figures 4 et 5. Ces éléments sont constitués par des fils métalliques entrecroisés de la même façon que les réceptacles 15 et ils affectent également la forme générale d'une auge. Cependant ces éléments ont évidemment une longueur restreinte.These receptacles may have a greater or lesser length. Since there is generally provided a spacing module of 1000 or 1300 mm between the uprights 2 of a presentation gondola, the length of the baskets can be for example 985 mm or 1285 mm. Under these conditions when a series of receptacles 15 are arranged one after the other on the same level, there are more or less large intervals between them. To ensure continuity between these receptacles, junction elements are therefore provided. such as the elements 23 shown in Figures 4 and 5. These elements are constituted by metallic wires crisscrossed in the same way as the receptacles 15 and they also affect the general shape of a trough. However, these elements are obviously of limited length.

Pour permettre la fixation de ces éléments sur deux réceptacles 15 successifs, les extrémités des fils longitudinaux 24 de ces éléments se terminent par des crochets saillants 25 et 26 aptes à s'accrocher sur les fils transversaux 22 de deux réceptacles 15 successifs. Cependant les crochets 25 prévus à l'une des extrémités sont recourbés, alors que les crochets 26 prévus à l'extrémité opposée ne le sont pas. Ceci permet de monter très facilement un élément de jonction 23 entre deux réceptacles 15 successifs. Eventuellement les fils longitudinaux 24 de ces éléments peuvent être réalisés en un métal suffisamment maléable pour que les crochets 26 puissent être recourbés après fixation en place.To allow the fixing of these elements on two successive receptacles 15, the ends of the longitudinal wires 24 of these elements end in projecting hooks 25 and 26 capable of being hooked on the transverse wires 22 of two successive receptacles 15. However, the hooks 25 provided at one end are bent, while the hooks 26 provided at the opposite end are not. This makes it possible to very easily mount a junction element 23 between two successive receptacles 15. Optionally, the longitudinal wires 24 of these elements can be made of a metal that is sufficiently malleable so that the hooks 26 can be bent after being fixed in place.

Il faut également observer que suivant l'importance de l'intervalle existant entre deux réceptacles 15 successifs, les crochets d'extrémité 25 et 26 des éléments de jonction peuvent être accrochés soit sur les fils transversaux se trouvant à l'extrémité même des réceptacles 15, soit sur des fils transversaux situés en retrait. En conséquence avec un seul type d'éléments de jonction 23 il est possible de combler un intervalle plus ou moins grand.It should also be observed that, depending on the length of the gap between two successive receptacles 15, the end hooks 25 and 26 of the joining elements can be hung either on the transverse wires located at the very end of the receptacles 15 , or on transverse wires set back. Consequently with a single type of junction element 23 it is possible to fill a more or less large gap.

Lorsque les éléments de jonction 23 sont en place, ils forment un ensemble absolument continu avec les réceptacles 15 situés à un même niveau. La continuïté d'aspect de cet ensemble peut être complétée par la mise en place d'un profilé 27 sur le bord libre du rebord 18 des différents réceptacles 15 correspondant. A ce sujet il faut remarquer que les éléments de jonction 23 sont dépourvus d'un tel rebord incliné 18. En conséquence le profilé 27 assure la continuïté entre les différents réceptacles 15, car il s'agit d'un profilé continu d'un seul tenant qui est enfilé sur le bord avant de tous les réceptacles 15 situés à un même niveau. Ce profilé constitue une bordure de continuïté qui peut se déformer pour s'adapter à des différences de positions de deux réceptacles 15 successifs. De plus, la face avant de ce profilé est avantageusement conformée de façon à constituer une glissière 28 à l'intérieur de laquelle peuvent être engagées des étiquettes d'affichage.When the junction elements 23 are in place, they form an absolutely continuous assembly with the receptacles 15 located at the same level. The continuity of appearance of this assembly can be supplemented by the installation of a profile 27 on the free edge of the rim 18 of the various receptacles 15 corresponding. On this subject it should be noted that the junction elements 23 are devoid of such an inclined rim 18. Consequently the profile 27 ensures continuity between the different receptacles 15, since it is a continuous profile in one piece which is threaded on the front edge of all the receptacles 15 located on the same level. This profile constitutes a continuity edge which can be deformed to adapt to differences in position of two successive receptacles 15. In addition, the front face of this profile is advantageously shaped so as to constitute a slide 28 inside which may be engaged display labels.

Pour permettre la subdivision d'un ensemble de réceptacle 15 en plusieurs compartiments, il est prévu des cloisons de séparation 29 constituées chacune par une grille en fil métallique comportant un cadre d'entourage. Certains des côtés de ce dernier portent plusieurs éléments saillants 30 affectant la forme de deux pontets espacés par un intervalle 31. Ainsi cet élément peut être emboîté à cheval sur l'un des fils transversaux 22 d'un réceptacle 15, ou même sur l'un des fils transversaux d'un élément de jonction 23, le fil transversal correspondant venant se loger dans l'intervalle 31. Ceci permet donc de fixer les cloisons de séparation 29 en toutes positions voulues de façon à constituer des compartiments distincts de longueurs plus ou moins importantes. De plus à tout moment il est possible de modifier le nombre et la longueur de ces compartiments en changeant en conséquence la position des cloisons de séparation 29.To allow the subdivision of a receptacle assembly 15 into several compartments, there are provided dividing partitions 29 each consisting of a wire grid comprising a surrounding frame. Some of the sides of the latter carry several projecting elements 30 affecting the shape of two bridges spaced by an interval 31. Thus this element can be fitted astride one of the transverse wires 22 of a receptacle 15, or even on the one of the transverse wires of a junction element 23, the corresponding transverse wire coming to be housed in the gap 31. This therefore makes it possible to fix the partition walls 29 in any desired position so as to constitute separate compartments of longer or shorter lengths. less important. In addition, it is possible at any time to modify the number and the length of these compartments by changing the position of the partition walls 29 accordingly.

Le dispositif de présentation ainsi constitué a l'avantage de permettre une plus grande souplesse d'utilisation que les dispositifs constitués à partir de corbeilles pourvues de parois d'extrémité. En effet il est possible de réaliser des compartiments de rangement de longueurs plus ou moins importantes, et de modifier ultérieurement à tout moment le nombre et la disposition de ceux-ci. De plus, ce dispositif a également l'avantage d'avoir un aspect beaucoup plus esthétique du fait de la continuïté des réceptacles disposés les uns à la suite des autres à un même niveau.The presentation device thus formed has the advantage of allowing greater flexibility of use than the devices formed from baskets provided with end walls. In fact, it is possible to make storage compartments of varying lengths, and to modify the number and arrangement at any time later. of these. In addition, this device also has the advantage of having a much more aesthetic appearance due to the continuity of the receptacles arranged one after the other at the same level.
