Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Wechselschild, welches aus einem Sichtbehälter gebildet ist, in dem mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete Sichtfächer zur Aufnahme von Ziffern, andere Symbole und/oder Worte tragenden Kärtchen vorgesehen sind, welcher Sichtbehälter einen als Kuststoff-Spritzgußteil ausgebildeten Fachkörper, der die zur Aufnahme der Kärtchen dienenden Fächer bildet, und einen mit einer Sichtöffnung versehenen Außenkörper, in den der Fachkörper eingeschoben ist, aufweist.The invention relates to an interchangeable sign, which is formed from a viewing container, in which a plurality of side-by-side viewing compartments are provided for receiving numbers, other symbols and / or cards carrying cards, which viewing container is a trained as a plastic injection molded part, which the for Receiving the card serving compartments forms, and has an outer body provided with a viewing opening, into which the compartment is inserted.

Es sind Wechselschilder vorgenannter Art bekannt, welche zur Preisauszeichnung verwendet werden. Bei einem solchen bekannten Wechselschild ist der Außenkörper in Form einer aus transparentem Material gebildeten Platte ausgebildet, welche an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten hinterschnittene Leisten trägt, in die der gleichfalls plattenartig ausgebildete Fachkörper, in dessen Fächer Kärtchen einfügbar sind, welche Ziffern und Symbole zur Preisauszeichnung tragen, eingeschoben werden kann. Die Fächer, bzw. die in die Fächer eingefügten Kärtchen, die sich an der Vorderseite des aus undurchsichtigem Material bestehenden Fachkörpers befinden, sind durch den durchsichtigen Außenkörper sichtbar; zur Erzielung eines ansprechenden Aussehens der durch die Ziffern und Symbole der in die Fächer des Wechselschildes eingefügten Kärtchen verkörperten Information sind am Außenkörper umrahmende Abdeckungen vorgesehen, welche die Enden der in die Fächer eingefügten Kärtchen überdecken und auch die Fächer optisch in mehrere Gruppen teilen, so daß z.B. Warenangaben und Preisangaben voneinander getrennt sind. Diese umrahmenden Abdeckungen sind in Form eines im Siebdruckverfahren hergestellten Aufdruckes auf der Vorderseite des aus durchsichtigem Material bestehenden Außenkörpers ausgebildet; die Herstellung eines derartigen Aufdruckes bringt einen verhältnismäßig großen zusätzlichen Aufwand mit sich. Bei einem anderen Wechselschild eingangs erwähnter Art ist der mit einer Sichtöffnung versehene Außenkörper in Art eines Rahmens ausgebildet, der an der Oberseite eine Einschuböffnung aufweist und eine weit ausgeschnittene Rückwand besitzt, wobei in diesen Außenkörper ein plattenartiger Fachkörper eingeschoben ist, der an seiner Vorderseite, welche der Sichtöffnung des Außenkörpers zugekehrt ist, Fächer für die Aufnahme von Ziffern oder Symbole tragenden Kärtchen aufweist, und es ist zwischen der Sichtöffnung des Außenkörpers und dem Fachkörper eine zusätzliche, ein Sichtfenster bildende Platte angeordnet, welche vor dem Einschieben des Fachkörpers in den Außenkörper auf den Fachkörper, dessen Fächer abdeckend, aufgelegt und zusammen mit dem Fachkörper in den Außenkörper eingeschoben wird. Der Einsatz einer solchen als Fenster wirkenden durchsichtigen Platte, welche zwischen die Sichtöffnungsseite des Außenkörpers und den Fachkörper eingefügt wird, belastet den für die Herstellung der Teile des Wechselschildes erforderlichen Aufwand und verursacht auch einen Mehraufwand bei der Manipulation, welcher jedesmal, wenn an den Ziffern, Symbole oder dergl. tragenden Kärtchen im Wechselschild eine Veränderung vorgenommen wird, erneut zum Tragen kommt. Weiters ist die bei diesem Wechselschild an der Rückwand vorliegende Öffnung, die sich durch den weiten Ausschnitt ergibt, nachteilig; das Einschieben des Fachkörpers von oben her führt oft zu Klemmerscheinungen.Change signs of the aforementioned type are known which are used for price labeling. In such a known interchangeable sign, the outer body is designed in the form of a plate made of transparent material, which carries undercut strips on two opposite longitudinal sides, into which the likewise plate-shaped specialist body, into whose compartments cards can be inserted, which carry numbers and symbols for price labeling , can be inserted. The compartments, or the cards inserted into the compartments, which are located on the front of the compartment body made of opaque material, are visible through the transparent outer body; To achieve an appealing appearance of the information embodied by the numbers and symbols of the cards inserted into the compartments of the interchangeable sign, framing covers are provided on the outer body, which cover the ends of the cards inserted in the compartments and also visually divide the compartments into several groups, so that For example, goods and prices are separate. These framing covers are designed in the form of an imprint produced by the screen printing process on the front of the outer body made of transparent material; the production of such an imprint involves a relatively large additional effort. Another change plate of the type mentioned at the beginning is the one with a viewing opening Provided outer body formed in the manner of a frame, which has an insertion opening on the top and has a widely cut-out rear wall, a plate-like compartment body is inserted into this outer body, the front of which faces the viewing opening of the outer body, compartments for receiving Has cards or cards bearing numbers or symbols, and between the viewing opening of the outer body and the compartment an additional plate forming a viewing window is arranged, which, before the insertion of the compartment into the outer body, is placed on the compartment, covering its subjects, and together with the compartment is inserted into the outer body. The use of such a transparent plate acting as a window, which is inserted between the viewing opening side of the outer body and the compartment body, burdens the effort required for the production of the parts of the exchangeable sign and also causes an additional effort in the manipulation, which each time when the numbers, Symbols or similar carrying cards in the change sign a change is made, comes into play again. Furthermore, the opening on the rear wall of this removable sign, which results from the wide cutout, is disadvantageous; inserting the compartment from above often leads to jamming.

Es ist ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Wechselschild eingangs erwähnter Art zu schaffen, welches einfach und mit geringem Aufwand herstellbar ist und welches beim Zusammensetzen seiner Einzelteile, welches ja auch bei jeder Änderung der im Schild befindlichen Kärtchen vorzunehmen ist, einfach handhabbar ist; es soll auf einfache Weise, ohne daß es hiefür eines zusätzlichen Aufwandes bedarf, ein ansprechendes Äußeres erzielbar sein, insbesondere eine Umrahmung des Sichtfeldes bzw. der Sichtfelder dahingehend, daß die Ränder der Kärtchen sauber abgedeckt sind und gewünschtenfalls mehrere je für sich ein Sichtfeld bildende, nebeneinander liegende Bereiche umrahmt sind. Das zu schaffende Wechselschild soll auch nach außen hin geschlossen sein, was besonders bei einer Verwendung im Lebensmittelverkaufsbereich von Bedeutung ist; es soll auch die Möglichkeit bestehen, an einer die Sicht nicht beeinträchtigenden Stelle des Außenkörpers Trag- oder Verbindungselemente anzuordnen, mit denen das Wechselschild in geeigneter Weise in Vitrinen, in Schaufenstern, an Regalen oder an anderen Bedarfsplätzen aufgestellt bzw. angebracht werden kann.It is an object of the present invention to provide an exchangeable sign of the type mentioned at the outset, which can be produced simply and with little effort and which is easy to handle when assembling its individual parts, which is also to be carried out whenever the cards in the sign are changed; it should be possible to achieve an appealing appearance in a simple manner, without requiring additional effort, in particular framing the field of vision or the fields of vision in such a way that the edges of the cards are neatly covered and, if desired, several each forming a field of vision, adjacent areas are framed. The removable sign to be created should also be closed to the outside, what is particularly important when used in the food retail sector; it should also be possible to arrange support or connecting elements at a point on the outer body that does not impair the view, with which the removable sign can be set up or attached in a suitable manner in showcases, in shop windows, on shelves or at other places of need.

Das erfindungsgemäße Wechselschild eingangs erwähnter Art ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der als Kunststoff-Spritzgußteil ausgebildete Fachkörper als durchsichtige rechteckige Platte ausgebildet ist, die zur Gänze in einen als Rahmen mit geschlossener Rückwand und einer seitlichen Einschuböffnung ausgebildeten Außenkörper, dessen Vorderwand durch eine eine oder mehrere Sichtöffnung(en) umgebende Umrahmung gebildet ist und dessen Wände undurchsichtig sind, von der Seite her einschiebbar ist, wobei die den Fachkörper bildende Platte selbst ein an der Rückseite der die Sichtöffnung(en) umgebenden Umrahmung anliegendes und diese Sichtöffnung(en) überdeckendes Fenster bildet und an ihrer Rückseite Leisten trägt, welche den an der Rückseite der Platte gelegenen Raum in mehrere nebeneinanderliegende Sichtfächer teilen. Durch diese Ausbildung kann der vorstehend angeführten Zielsetzung gut entsprochen werden. Das erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Wechselschild besteht aus bloß zwei Teilen, welche beide auf einfache Weise aus Kunststoff im Spritzgußverfahren gefertigt werden können, wobei es möglich ist, den Außenkörper wie auch den Fachkörper durch'einen solchen üblichen, einfach durchzuführenden Formvorgang fertig herzustellen, so daß keine ergänzenden Fertigungsschritte, wie z.B. Bedrucken, notwendig sind. Die eine Umrahmung für eine Sichtöffnung oder für mehrere Sichtöffnungen bildende Vorderwand kann problemlos bei der Formgebung des Außenkörpers gebildet werden, und es kann die undurchsichtige Ausbildung der Wände des Außenkörpers einfach dadurch erhalten werden, daß ein entsprechend undurchsichtiges Material zur Herstellung des Außenkörpers verwendet wird. Ebenso ist die durchsichtige Ausbildung der den Fachkörper bildenden rechteckigen Platte durch entsprechende Materialwahl leicht zu erzielen. Das Zusammensetzen der beiden Teile des erfindungsgemäßen Wechselschildes kann durch einfaches Einschieben des Fachteiles in die hiezu am Außenkörper vorgesehene seitliche Einschuböffnung vorgenommen werden, ohne daß es dabei zusätzlicher Rücksichten auf weitere Teile bedarf; Analoges gilt für das Herausziehen des Fachkörpers aus dem Außenkörper, wenn eine Veränderung der Anzeige des Schildes vorgenommen werden soll. Es steht die Außenseite der Rückwand des Außenkörpers gewünschtenfalls voll für die Anbringung oder Anformung von Trag-oder Verbindungselementen zur Verfügung, wobei durch solche Trag-oder Verbindungselemente die Möglichkeit den Fachkörper auf einfachste Weise in den Außenkörper einfügen zu können oder aus diesem herausziehen zu können, keine Beeinträchtigung erfährt. Das erfindungsgemäße Wechselschild hat auch einen geschlossenen Aufbau, da die den Fachkörper bildende Platte an der Innenseite der die Sichtöffnung(en) umgebenden Umrahmung anliegt und der Fachkörper an jener Stelle, die im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Schildes an der Einschuböffnung des Außenkörpers zu liegen kommt, so geformt werden kann, daß er diese Einschuböffnung verschließt. Das Einschieben des Fachkörpers von der Seite her vermeidet weitestgehend Klemmerscheinungen beim Einschieben des Fachkörpers.The change sign according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the specialist body, which is designed as a plastic injection-molded part, is designed as a transparent rectangular plate, the entire body of which is formed as a frame with a closed rear wall and a lateral insertion opening, the front wall of which is through one or more viewing openings (s) surrounding frame is formed and the walls are opaque, can be inserted from the side, the panel forming the compartment itself forms a window adjacent to the rear side of the frame surrounding the viewing opening (s) and covering these viewing opening (s) and on the back carries strips that divide the space on the back of the panel into several side-by-side compartments. With this training, the above-mentioned objective can be met well. The exchangeable shield designed according to the invention consists of only two parts, both of which can be easily produced from plastic by injection molding, it being possible to finish the outer body as well as the specialist body by means of such a customary, easy-to-carry out molding process, so that no additional Manufacturing steps, such as printing, are necessary. The front wall forming a frame for a viewing opening or for a plurality of viewing openings can be easily formed in the shaping of the outer body, and the opaque design of the walls of the outer body can be obtained simply by using a correspondingly opaque material for producing the outer body. Likewise, the transparent design of the rectangular plate forming the compartment is by appropriate choice of material easy to achieve. The assembly of the two parts of the interchangeable plate according to the invention can be carried out by simply pushing the compartment part into the side insertion opening provided on the outer body, without additional considerations of further parts being required; The same applies to the pulling out of the specialist body from the outer body if the display of the plate is to be changed. If desired, the outside of the rear wall of the outer body is fully available for the attachment or molding of support or connection elements, such support or connection elements being able to insert or remove the compartment body in the outer body in a very simple manner, experiences no impairment. The interchangeable shield according to the invention also has a closed structure, since the plate forming the compartment lies against the inside of the frame surrounding the viewing opening (s) and the compartment at that point which comes to rest on the insertion opening of the outer body in the assembled state of the shield, so can be shaped so that it closes this insertion opening. The insertion of the compartment from the side largely prevents pinching when inserting the compartment.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Wechselschildes, welche eine besonders einfache Handhabung beim Einschieben des Fachkörpers in den Außenkörper ergibt und auch die Kärtchenmanipulation auf sehr einfache Weise vornehmen läßt, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß an der den Fachkörper bildenden Platte, die in Richtung ihrer Längserstreckung durch die seitliche Einschuböffnung des Außenkörpers einschiebbar ist, mehrere zur Aufnahme der Kärtchen dienende Sichtfächer in Richtung der Längserstreckung dieser Platte aufeinanderfolgend und je bis an mindestens einen Längsrand der Platte reichend angeordnet sind und dort durch eine Rippe begrenzt sind, wobei diese die Fächer begrenzenden Rippen vorzugsweise zu einer an einem Längsrand der Platte verlaufenden Leiste vereint sind. Es gibt dabei das vorzugsweise vorgesehene Vereinen der die Fächer an einem Längsrand der Platte begrenzenden Rippen zu einer Leiste eine zusätzliche Gleitführung, welche das Einschieben der Platte weiter vereinfacht. Es ist für eine einfache Manipulation der Kärtchen und auch für das Zusammensetzen des erfindungsgemäßen Schildes weiter vorteilhaft, wenn man vorsieht, daß die an der Rückseite der den Fachkörper bildenden Platte angeordneten, die Sichtfächer begrenzenden Leisten hinterschnitten ausgebildet sind.A preferred embodiment of the interchangeable plate according to the invention, which results in a particularly simple handling when inserting the compartment into the outer body and also allows the card manipulation to be carried out in a very simple manner, is characterized in that on the plate forming the compartment, which in the direction of its longitudinal extension through the Lateral insertion opening of the outer body can be inserted, several viewing compartments for receiving the cards are arranged in the direction of the longitudinal extension of this plate in succession and each reaching to at least one longitudinal edge of the plate and are delimited there by a rib, these ribs delimiting the compartments preferably being one are united on a longitudinal edge of the plate running strip. There is preferably that provided associations of the ribs delimiting the compartments on a longitudinal edge of the plate to form a strip, an additional sliding guide which further simplifies the insertion of the plate. It is further advantageous for a simple manipulation of the cards and also for the assembly of the shield according to the invention if one provides that the strips arranged on the back of the panel forming the compartment body and underlining the compartments for the compartments are undercut.

Die den Fachkörper 3 bildende Platte ist in Richtung ihrer Längserstreckung 15 durch die seitliche Einschuböffnung 7 in den Außenkörper 2 einschiebbar. Es sind mehrere zur Aufnahme der Kärtchen 5 dienende Sichtfächer 4 in Richtung der Längserstreckung dieser Platte aufeinanderfolgend angeordnet, wobei diese Sichtfächer bis zum Längsrand 16 der Platte reichen und dort durch eine Rippe 17 begrenzt sind. Diese Rippen sind dabei zu einer am Längsrand der Platte verlaufenden Leiste vereint, und es ist solcherart sowohl ein die Kärtchen 5 stützender Anschlag als auch eine Abstützung der den Fachkörper 3 bildenden Platte selbst geschaffen, welche das Anliegen des Fachkörpers an der Rückseite 10 der Umrahmung 9 unterstützt und eine vorteilhafte Führung beim Einschieben des Fachkörpers 3 in den Außenkörper sowie beim Herausziehen des Fachkörpers 3 aus dem Außenkörper 2 bildet.The plate forming the compartment 3 can be inserted into the outer body 2 in the direction of its longitudinal extension 15 through the lateral insertion opening 7. There are several viewing compartments 4 for receiving the cards 5 successively arranged in the direction of the longitudinal extent of this plate, these viewing compartments reaching as far as the longitudinal edge 16 of the plate and being delimited there by a rib 17. These ribs are combined to form a strip running along the longitudinal edge of the plate, and in this way both a stop supporting the cards 5 and a support of the plate forming the compartment body 3 itself are created, which support the contact of the compartment body on the back 10 of the frame 9 supports and forms an advantageous guide when inserting the compartment body 3 into the outer body and when pulling the compartment body 3 out of the outer body 2.

Die an der Rückseite 11 der den Fachkörper 3 bildenden Platte angeordneten Leisten 12, welche die Sichtfächer begrenzen, können einen einfachen rechteckigen Querschnitt haben. Es ist aber im Sinne einer einfachen Manipulation beim Einfügen der Kärtchen 5 in die Sichtfächer 4 und beim Einführen des Fachkörpers in den Außenkörper von Vorteil, wenn die Leisten 12 hinterschnitten ausgebildet sind, d.h. Hinterschneidungen 18 aufweisen, durch die eine zusätzliche Fixierung der Kärtchen 5 in den Sichtfächern 4 erzielt wird.The strips 12 which are arranged on the back 11 of the plate forming the compartment body 3 and which delimit the viewing compartments can have a simple rectangular cross section. However, in the sense of simple manipulation when inserting the cards 5 into the visible compartments 4 and when inserting the compartment body into the outer body, it is advantageous if the strips 12 are undercut, i.e. Have undercuts 18, by means of which the cards 5 are additionally fixed in the viewing compartments 4.

Die Wände des Außenkörpers 2, und damit auch die die Sichtöffnung 6 umgebende Umrahmung 9, welche die Vorderwand des Außenkörpers bildet, sind undurchsichtig, und es ist so auf einfache Weise eine Abdeckung von Endrändern der Kärtchen 5, von Enden der Leisten 12 und von anderen baulichen Details an der Rückseite des Fachkörpers 3 geschaffen.The walls of the outer body 2, and thus also the frame 9 surrounding the viewing opening 6, which surrounds the front wall of the outer body, are opaque, and so it is easily covered end edges of the cards 5, the ends of the strips 12 and other structural details on the back of the compartment body 3.

Die Außenseite 20 der Rückwand 8 des Außenkörpers 2 steht zum Anbringen oder Anformen von Aufstell-, Befestigungs- oder Verbindungselementen 21 frei zur Verfügung, und es ist das Anordnen solcher Elemente 21 in der Zeichnung strichliert angedeutet.The outer side 20 of the rear wall 8 of the outer body 2 is freely available for attaching or shaping installation, fastening or connecting elements 21, and the arrangement of such elements 21 is indicated by dashed lines in the drawing.

Bei der in Fig. 6 dargestellten Ausführungsform eines Wechselschildes sind mehrere Sichtöffnungen 6a, 6b, 6c vorgesehen, welche von der die Vorderwand des Außenkörpers des Wechselschildes bildenden Umrahmung 9 umgeben sind. Hinter den Sichtöffnungen 6a, 6b befindet sich dabei je ein ein Kärtchen aufnehmendes Sichtfach, während hinter der Sichtöffnung 6c mehrere Sichtfächer, die je ein Kärtchen aufnehmen, angeordnet sind.In the embodiment of an interchangeable sign shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of viewing openings 6a, 6b, 6c are provided, which are surrounded by the frame 9 forming the front wall of the outer body of the interchangeable sign. Behind the viewing openings 6a, 6b there is a viewing compartment each accommodating a card, while behind the viewing opening 6c there are several viewing compartments, each accommodating a card.

Zum Erleichtern des Herausziehens des Fachkörpers 3 aus dem Außenkörper 2 ist an die Einschuböffnung 7 angrenzend in der Rückwand 8 des Außenkörpers 2 eine Vertiefung 22 vorgesehen, welche das Erfassen eines Ansatzes 23, der sich an dem in der Öffnung 7 liegenden Ende des Fachkörpers 3 befindet, erleichtert.In order to facilitate the pulling out of the compartment body 3 from the outer body 2, a recess 22 is provided adjacent to the insertion opening 7 in the rear wall 8 of the outer body 2, said recess being used to grasp a projection 23 located at the end of the compartment body 3 lying in the opening 7 , facilitated.

Der Fachkörper 3 ist an seinem in der Einschuböffnung 7 gelegenen Ende verdickt ausgebildet, z.B. mit einer Randleiste 24 versehen, und schließt auf diese Weise die Einschuböffnung 7 ab.The compartment 3 is thickened at its end located in the insertion opening 7, e.g. provided with an edge strip 24, and in this way closes the insertion opening 7.

Man kann gewünschtenfalls auch in Einschubrichtung der den Fachkörper 3 bildenden Platte verlaufende Sichtfächer bilden, indem man Leisten 12 vorsieht, welche in Einschubrichtung verlaufen. Auf diese Weise kann man mehrere übereinander plazierte Sichtfächer vorsehen.If desired, visible compartments extending in the direction of insertion of the plate forming the compartment body 3 can also be formed by providing strips 12 which extend in the direction of insertion. In this way, you can provide several compartments placed one above the other.
