Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to labels with variable display, and more particularly to a waterproof label whose displayed data can be modified by manual intervention.
  • a waterproof label with variable display of the type comprising a generally flat housing comprising a front wall at least partially transparent and a rear wall, at least one support for a plurality of information mounted rotatably displaceable between the two walls, means for moving said support comprising an actuating element fixed to said support and passing through an opening made in the rear wall of the housing, means for sealing provided between said actuating element and said rear wall, as well as a masking means so as to let appear through the front wall only a determined part of the information.
  • the sealing means are in the form of a seal which closely surrounds a rod constituting the means of movement of the information carrier and which, during assembly of the housing, is compressed between the rod and an external retention zone formed on the internal face of the rear wall of the housing.
  • the masking means is constituted by a sheet of paper or the like, the appearance and the behavior of which are extremely sensitive to humidity, it is imperative to ensure that the seal is as perfect as possible of the inside the housing vis-à-vis the external environment.
  • the present invention aims to overcome all these drawbacks of the prior art, and first to obtain an optimal seal from the inside of the housing vis-à-vis the outside.
  • said actuating element comprises a transmission rod fixed to the information carrier and passing through the opening and an actuation part wider than the rod and said opening, which has an inner surface extending opposite the outer surface of said rear wall, and in that the sealing means comprise a seal located between the inner surface of the part d 'actuation and the outer surface of the rear wall.
  • the actuating part has a general disc shape and is received in an essentially complementary recess formed in the rear wall of the housing.
  • the rear face of the label is perfectly flat, and the risks of deterioration are minimized while storage is facilitated.
  • a label according to the present invention comprises a housing 100 which, in the present example, is of essentially flat and rectangular shape.
  • This housing comprises a first element 110, made for example of opaque plastic and molded in one piece, which defines the rear wall 111, the side walls 112, 113 and the upper and lower walls 114, 115 of the housing, and a second element 120, preferably made of transparent plastic, forming glass and constituting the front wall of the housing.
  • the elements 110 and 120 can be assembled together in a gas and liquid tight manner by any suitable means.
  • each bottom 132 is made a circular hole 133.
  • a lug 140 of oblong shape extending in a direction essentially parallel to the large edges of the housing.
  • the section of this lug narrows slightly outward, for the purposes explained below.
  • Each sub-assembly comprises an information medium 200 produced in the form of a thin element, made of flexible opaque plastic or the like, of circular or essentially circular shape, which is capable of being received in the housing, between its rear wall and its front wall.
  • This support 200 carries on its front face a certain number of inscriptions, for example numbers from 0 to 9, which can be, thanks to an appropriate mask which will be described later, made visible individually through the glass 120.
  • the element 200 comprises in its center a hub 202 which is constituted by a first part 202a of circular external profile, the diameter of which is substantially equal to or slightly less than that of the hole 133 of the associated recess 130, while a second part 202b , located between the first part 202a and the disc 200, has a larger diameter, so as to define an annular shoulder 202c by which the hub bears against the internal surface of the bottom wall 132 of the recess 130.
  • the hub 200 is traversed right through, axially, by an opening 204 which comprises, on the side opposite to the disc 200, a first part 204a whose section is preferably non-circular, and on the side of the disc, a second part 204b in the general shape of a frustoconical cup.
  • the section of the opening part 204a is square. This form is of course not limiting.
  • the subassembly further comprises an actuating element 210 which comprises an actuating part 212 in the general shape of a disc, the shape of which is substantially complementary to the recess 130, and a transmission rod 214 comprising a first part 214a, adjacent to the part 212, the section of which is complementary to the section of the part 204a of the opening 204, and a second part or end part 214b, the section of which has a smaller area than that of the part 214a and which extends into the cup 204b.
  • an actuating element 210 which comprises an actuating part 212 in the general shape of a disc, the shape of which is substantially complementary to the recess 130, and a transmission rod 214 comprising a first part 214a, adjacent to the part 212, the section of which is complementary to the section of the part 204a of the opening 204, and a second part or end part 214b, the section of which has a smaller area than that of the part 214a and which extends into the
  • annular groove 212a coaxial with the disc 212 and the rod 214, is formed in the inner surface, facing the bottom 132 of the recess 130, of the actuating part 212.
  • This groove receives a seal 230 made of elastomer or the like, and for example an O-ring whose section has, in the unsolicited state, a diameter which is slightly greater than the depth of the groove.
  • the actuating part 212 comprises, on its surface facing outwards, an essentially rectilinear and diametral groove 212b, the bottom of which is in an arc of a circle, as illustrated.
  • the label according to the invention also includes a mask 300 intended to allow the individualized and organized display of information carried by the various information carriers 200 .
  • This mask is in the form of a sheet, for example made of paper or plasticized paper, the shape and dimensions of which are such that it fits tightly in the interior space of the housing 100, between the discs 200 supporting information and ice transparent 120 (as illustrated in the partial representation of FIG. 7).
  • the sheet 300 are made a plurality of oblong windows, in this case six windows referenced 301 to 306.
  • the window 301 closest to the upper left corner of the label (looking at FIGS. 4 and 11) is oriented horizontally and the associated information support disk (located in the upper left corner in FIG. 4) can include expressions of the genre "KILO”, “PACKAGE”, “PIECE”, etc.
  • the other windows are oriented vertically and the associated discs have numbers (for example from zero to nine) allowing the price to be displayed.
  • the masking sheet 300 may include any appropriate inscription or illustration. Sheet 300 has been omitted in the representation of Figures 4 and 5 for the sake of clarity.
  • the label according to the invention finally comprises, advantageously but optionally, a support element 400 which comprises a part 402 in the form of a disc and a part 404 forming a spike.
  • the part 402 comprises substantially centrally an oblong through opening 402a whose shape is complementary to the oblong lug XXX provided on the back of the housing as described above.
  • the circular part 402 of the support element 400 preferably comprises in a location diametrically opposite the spike 404, a projecting part 406 whose shape is substantially complementary. from throat 212b.
  • the glass 120 has, over its entire periphery, a lip 121 of generally triangular section which extends towards the interior of the housing so as to define a lateral surface 122 whose height is at least equal to the thickness of the glass 120, so as to define as large an assembly area as possible between the parts 110 and 120 of the housing .
  • the inclined surface of the lip 121 advantageously takes the place of means for guiding the masking sheet 300 to ensure correct positioning of the latter when it is put in place before the housing is welded.
  • the label of the present invention is assembled as follows. First, the different sub-assemblies are placed on the part 110 of the housing 100. More precisely, for each sub-assembly, the seal 230 is placed in its groove 212a; parts 200 and 210 are then put in place as illustrated in FIG. 7, respectively from the interior side and from the exterior side of the rear wall 111.
  • the mask 300 is put in place above the information support discs 200, then the glass 120 is assembled with the part 110 of the housing, preferably by peripheral ultrasonic welding.
  • the arrangement described above with reference to Figure 9 allows for welding on a large area, which guarantees a good seal between the two parts.
  • the label according to the present invention is used in the following manner: to modify the variable part of the information indicated by the label, the actuating parts 212 associated with the disks 200 considered are rotated until the information individual sought (figure or other) is next to the associated window of the mask 300 and therefore visible on the front face.
  • this rotation of the part 212 is carried out using the support element 400, the projecting part 406 of which is engaged in the groove 212b.
  • the latter is dimensioned so that the rotation can also be imparted, at the option of the user, by a coin or the like.
  • the label is fixed on this element, and the spike 404 can be planted in the commodities designated by the label to ensure the immobilization of said label thereon.
  • the seal 230 can be received either in a groove formed in the actuating member, or in a groove formed in the bottom wall 132 of the associated recess 130, or even partially in a groove of the actuating element and partly in a groove in the bottom wall.
  • the joining in rotation of the elements 200 and 210 assembled to one another can be carried out either by providing, at the level of the assembly, non-circular complementary profiles, as indicated above, or for example only by welding. performed between elements 200, 210.
  • the assembly between the support element 400 and the label itself can be carried out by any means whatsoever and be either fixed or removable, and in the latter case the support element can, as we 'seen above, be used to modify the display.
