Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a display in the form of a base for seashell. It relates, in particular, to a display of the "plinth" type specially adapted for gastropods wound around an axis called a columella.
  • gastropods have a cone-shaped shell, spirally wound around an axis called a columella.
  • Murexes are a particularly well-known example of this very widespread type of shellfish. Their irregular shape makes it more difficult to enhance them.
  • the shell is suspended from a metal wire, which is itself secured to a base or another support.
  • the shell is damaged since it must be pierced at least one small hole to allow hanging on the wire. It will be understood that such a fixing is generally quite fragile.
  • the most common type of shell display to date is a base which consists of a solid block of wood or stone (for example, marble) on which the shell is fixed with a little glue.
  • a base which consists of a solid block of wood or stone (for example, marble) on which the shell is fixed with a little glue.
  • Such fixing of the shell on the display is not only fragile, in most cases but, moreover, the shell cannot generally be fixed on the base by one of its protuberances.
  • the quantity of glue is increased, it remains visible between the shell and its base, which detracts from the aesthetics.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a display for seashells and in particular for gastropods, which enhances these shells without damaging them and without harming their natural appearance.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a such a display in the form of a base, making it possible to fix a seashell with one of its protuberances directed downwards, while ensuring good solidity and stability of the fixing.
  • the invention also aims to achieve such a display that is aesthetic while using an easy, quick and economical implementation technique.
  • the display unit according to the invention is especially advantageous for shells such as those of gastropods (for example murex, cones, scrolls, doliums, etc.) having a closed end of conical or rounded shape from which the shell develops in a helix up 'at its open end.
  • gastropods for example murex, cones, scrolls, doliums, etc.
  • the display unit according to the invention makes it possible in particular to mount such a shell with this conical end closed downwards, the columella being oriented substantially vertically.
  • the subject of the invention is a display for seashells, the base comprising a plate pierced with at least one hole and at least one structural element which raises this plate relative to the support on which the display can be placed.
  • the shell is fixed in place by glue which secures the underside of the plate with a small protruding part of the shell which is engaged in said hole by resting on the edges of this hole.
  • the structural element which raises the plate relative to the support on which the display can be placed is a flange of the periphery of the plate, directed downwards.
  • this rim has at its lower part a narrowing towards the center of the base.
  • a foam polymer pellet fills the interior volume of the base not occupied by the small protruding part of the shell engaged in the hole and by the glue.
  • the base is preferably closed at its lower part by a semi-rigid plate engaged behind the narrowing of the lower part of the rim.
  • This plate can, for example, be made of cardboard or plastic and can in particular be used to indicate the name of the shell.
  • said plate and possibly the entire base can be formed of metal, but other materials can also be used.
  • the plate which is pierced with at least one hole, can be in a circular, oval, rectangular or triangular shape.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing an assembly formed by a seashell fixed to a display in the form of a base according to the invention.
  • the shell is placed in the desired position relative to the display by engaging a small protruding part of the shell in the hole in the plate that this display contains, by resting on the edge of this hole.
  • the shell is then fixed in place on the base by applying glue on the side of the underside of said plate so as to secure the latter with the small protruding part of the shell engaged in the hole.
  • the adhesive used is preferably hot-melt adhesive which offers the advantage of being easily applied and hardening very quickly.
  • the base consists of a plate pierced with a hole and provided, on its periphery, edges directed downward, the lower part of these edges having a narrowing towards the center of the base.
  • a pad of foam polymer which fills the interior volume of the base not occupied by the protruding part of the shell, engaged in the hole, and by glue.
  • the display can then be completed by engaging, behind the narrowing of the lower part of the rim, a semi-rigid plate of suitable shape made, for example, of cardboard or plastic.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show a seashell 1 mounted on a display 2, which consists of a base comprising a circular metal plate 3 provided with a flange 4 directed downwards.
  • the lower part 5 of the rim 4 is inclined obliquely towards the center of the display 2, thereby forming a narrowing of the lower opening thereof.
  • the plate 3 is pierced, in its center, with a circular hole 6.
  • a small protruding part 7 of the shell 1 is engaged in this hole 6 by resting on its edges.
  • Hot melt glue 8 secures the underside of the plate 3 with this small protruding part 7 of the shell 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention.
  • a shell 11 is mounted on a display 12 formed of a metal plate folded in a U shape and thus affecting the appearance of a book cover.
  • This display 12 therefore comprises an upper plate 13 and a lower plate 14 interconnected by a rounded part 15.
  • the upper plate 13 is pierced, in its center, with a circular hole 6.
  • a small protruding part of the shell is engaged in this hole 6 by resting on its edges.
  • the fixing in place of the shell 11 on the display 12 is made in the same manner as for the display 2 of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • Fig. 4 shows yet another embodiment of the invention.
  • the shell is mounted on a display 17, which has substantially the shape of a cap.
  • the attachment of the shell 16 to the display 17 is made in the same way as for the display 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the display according to the invention not only allows a very aesthetic presentation of the shell, but it also allows a very stable fixing of the shell on the display.
  • the mode of fixing is very easy and quick because it is possible to use hot-melt glue; this is applied directly to the protruding part of the shell which is engaged in the hole in the base, which ensures excellent adhesion. Because the seashell rests on the edge of this hole and that the glue overflows on the underside of the base plate, the mounting stability would remain ensured even if the adhesion of the glue on this plate (made (for example, smooth and shiny metal) was mediocre, even zero.
