Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a display for receiving various objects, such as watches, butterflies or others.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a display unit which can be placed on a horizontal plane or hung on a vertical plane.
  • the display according to the invention finds its use in shops, for the presentation of objects intended to be sold as well as, in a domestic framework, for the storage of objects.
  • Displays or storage devices are known for everyday objects such as ties, keys or clothes. However, there is no known display specially designed for the storage of objects such as watches. However, watches have become in recent years objects of everyday consumption so that many people have several watches.
  • a display for objects such that watches can either be placed on a horizontal plane, for example on a desk or on a shelf, or hung on a wall, for example in a kitchen, a bathroom or a bedroom.
  • the display is used in the window of a store to present objects for sale, it is advantageous to be able to either place the display or hang it, both for practical and aesthetic reasons.
  • a display unit comprising a presentation plate provided with reception means for receiving objects to be presented, and base means having a first end connected to the presentation plate and a second end s' moving away from this plate to lay the display on a substantially horizontal surface, said display being characterized in that it further comprises hooking means for hanging said display on a substantially vertical plane, attachment means for removably attaching the second end of the base means to the presentation plate, when the display is hung on a substantially vertical plane, and a retaining plate extending in front of the presentation plate, said plates being substantially parallel and the distance between them being slightly greater than the thickness of the objects to be presented.
  • the proposed display can be used for objects other than watches. In general, it allows you to present objects that can have a different shape depending on whether or not they are in the display.
  • the display according to the invention can thus also be used for example for the storage of butterflies.
  • the retaining plate can cover at least half of each object presented or include a plurality of parallel strips. In the latter case, when the display is intended for the presentation of watches, the retaining plate may comprise at least two bands each covering at least part of a strand of watch strap.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 illustrate a display 2 according to the invention placed on a horizontal plane 4.
  • This display consists essentially of a single plate folded in two places which define a first part forming a base means 6, a second part forming a presentation plate 8 and a third part forming a holding plate 10.
  • Receiving means 12, such as hooks, are provided on the presentation plate 8 for receiving watches 14.
  • the plate 6 has one side connected to the plate and another side moving away from the plate, so that the display can be placed on the plane 4.
  • the display unit according to the invention also comprises means making it possible to hang the display unit on a substantially vertical plane, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • These attachment means 16 may consist, for example, of suction cups, in particular when the display unit is intended to be hung in a bathroom or kitchen. These means could also consist of screws or any other known attachment means.
  • Attachment means 18, preferably of the magnetic type, are also provided on opposite faces of the presentation plate 8 and of the plate 6. These attachment means provide better rigidity to the display unit when it is hung on a vertical plane while making the presentation of the watches more attractive.
  • the display according to the invention is finally characterized in that it comprises a retaining plate 10 which extends parallel to the presentation plate 8 and in front of it to form a space having a thickness very slightly greater than that of the objects to present.
  • This retaining plate 10 makes it possible to store watches effectively and attractively, and in particular watches comprising a leather, plastic or fabric strap which, when worn, tend to keep the shape of the wrist.
  • the display shown in Figures 1 to 3 is particularly interesting because it is simple and inexpensive construction, while having an attractive aesthetic appearance. Indeed, the essential elements of this display, namely plates 6, 8 and 10, are obtained by folding a single plate, for example Plexiglas (registered trademark).
  • FIGS. 4 to 9 The display illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 constitutes a preferred embodiment of the invention. It is quite clear that other embodiments can be envisaged. By way of example, certain interesting embodiments are shown in FIGS. 4 to 9.
  • the display shown in Figure 4 differs from that shown in Figures 1 and 2 essentially with regard to the embodiment of the base means 6.
  • This consists here of a band 20 connected to the upper part of the presentation plate 8, this strip extending by two feet 22, 24 which ensure the stability of the display when it is placed on a horizontal plane.
  • the plate 6 and the presentation plate 8 are connected by a hinge 26.
  • This hinge advantageously includes a hard point to define the optimal angle between the plates 6 and 8 when the display is placed on a horizontal plane.
  • connection between the plate 6 and the plate 8 can also be achieved by an assembly comprising two hinges 28, 30 and a strip 32 as shown in Figures 6a and 6b.
  • This structure is slightly more complex, but it has the advantage that the plate 6 can be folded down in front of the retaining plate 10 (FIG. 6b). The display is thus transformed into a carrying case by simply adding a handle 34 to the strip 32.
  • FIGS. 7 to 9 show different embodiments of the holding plate 10.
  • the function of this plate is to prevent the object presented from moving away from the presentation plate 8.
  • This retaining plate 10 may consist of a relatively narrow band covering only the watch case (FIG. 7), or of two bands 10a, 10b each arranged to cover part of a strand of the bracelet near the watch case (figure 8). Finally, the retaining plate 10 can be arranged both horizontally and vertically (FIG. 9).
