Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an information display device.
  • display panels which include a display window in which appear information previously printed on a film wound on a first roll, arranged at the lower part of the display panel, while a take-up roller at the top rolls up the film over a length corresponding to the height of the poster.
  • Such display panels are generally motorized and the poster is changed periodically. It is even expected that the direction of winding-unwinding is reversed in order to return to the previous panels.
  • the passage from one poster to another can be studied for a direction of scrolling, but on the other hand, the passage can be very unpleasant to the view in the opposite direction.
  • rollers with a non-removable support film stretched between the rollers in the display frame.
  • the poster being made up of several pieces arranged in transparent housings formed in the film, they should be introduced one by one into the corresponding housings in the manner of a puzzle.
  • the present invention provides a device for displaying information, in particular advertising, which is very flexible in use, the pre-established programming of which can be modified instantly, the order of passage of which the display panels can be modified, which can receive an additional panel or receive a whole set of new panels, which can be controlled manually, or by internal programming or even remotely, which can receive several modules juxtaposed in order to produce a poster of very large width, which is of low cost, both for the maintenance of the device itself and for the operation of said device, which is of small size thus allowing its transport on a mobile unit or its mounting on poles fixed locations or even on a unit that can be moved manually by rolling on the ground.
  • the device for displaying information, in particular advertising information is characterized in that it comprises a support frame provided with a display window, a store comprising at least two information support panels, means for selecting and gripping one of said panels and means for transferring this panel to the right of the display window.
  • the means for selecting the device according to the invention more particularly comprise indexes carried by the panels, facing gripping means secured to the transfer means.
  • the transfer means comprise at least two rollers, upper and lower, at least one of which is motor, around which is wound a support band in closed loop on which are attached the means for gripping the panels .
  • the gripping means comprise electromagnets distributed on the same line, parallel to the axis of rotation of the rollers, the plunger core of these electromagnets constituting the gripping means proper of the panel and the indexes comprising at least two tabs projecting from the upper edge of each panel, each provided with a hole intended to cooperate with the end of the plunger core of the electromagnet opposite.
  • the frame is substantially parallelepiped, of width and height corresponding substantially to those of the panel to be displayed and of shallow depth corresponding substantially to the diameter of the rollers increased by the thickness of the magazine which is disposed on the face rear, opposite the face comprising the display window.
  • the frame comprises a unit for controlling selection, gripping and transfer means.
  • the magazine is a removable cassette comprising a memory programmed for the order and the duration of passage of the panels which it contains as well as connections making it possible to unload the contents of the programmed memory of the cassette. towards the control unit.
  • modules are also juxtaposed and connectable along the longitudinal axis, so as to produce a large-width display.
  • the frame is inclined at the rear so as to allow the panels to be detached and automatically stacked by simple gravity.
  • the panel comprises a plate supporting the indexes, deformable so as to match the radius of curvature of the rollers, to which the information proper is related.
  • FIG. 1 shows a display device according to the invention, which comprises a frame 10, a display window 12, transfer means 14 and a magazine 16.
  • the frame 10 is shown in Figure 2, seen from the front with a partial cutaway. We can consider that this frame has a substantially parallelepiped shape of large width and height but shallow depth.
  • the frame 10 comprises a foot 18 secured to the parallelepipedal part oriented towards the rear so as to give the entire frame a certain stability taking into account that the parallelepiped is slightly inclined on the rear.
  • wheels 20 are integrated in the stand 18 so as to allow movement of the entire display device.
  • the display window 12 has a width substantially equal to that of the parallelepiped, to the thickness near the casing enveloping the parallelepiped and determining the display window 12.
  • This display window 12 is oriented towards the front of the device and is delimited by an upper strip 22 and a lower strip 24 intended to mask the transfer means 14 which will be described later.
  • Figure 2 there is shown a front view of the device with a partial cutaway.
  • the display window 12 comprises a transparent front wall 26 fixed relative to the frame, more particularly with respect to the upper strip 22 and the lower strip 24 so as to provide protection and sealing of the interior of the frame and of the members that 'it contains.
  • the device 14 for transferring the panels 28 comprises a mechanical system 30 for transferring the gripping means 32 and the selection means 34.
  • the gripping means 32 consist of the end of the plunger core of an electromagnetic jack 36 comprising an electromagnet 38.
  • this electromagnet 38 causes the displacement of the gripping means 32, in this case the plunger, in the direction indicated by the arrow 40.
  • This jack 36 is fixed directly on a support bar 41, integral with a band 42 in closed loop mounted around two notched pulleys 44, driven in rotation by a shaft 46, all of the upper and lower mechanical systems 30 being synchronized by a notched belt 48 cooperating with the pulleys and integral with said band.
  • the motorization in itself has not been indicated because it is known to those skilled in the art and can be arranged between the upper and lower pulleys 44.
  • flanges 52 integral with the casing simultaneously guide the strip in closed loop 42 on its lateral part masked by the upper strip 22 while ensuring a bearing role for the shaft 46, and keeping the panel plated on the tape.
  • the bore serving as a bearing inside the flange opens out and the lateral casing is also provided with a hole opposite the bore of the flange and provided with a removable cover.
  • the reserve 16 is shown in detail in partial view in FIG. 5. It comprises a casing 54, in which the panels 28 are arranged, parallel to each other and provided with tongues 56 respectively A , B and C for the three panels shown , these tabs being at variable distances from the edges, the panels being aligned.
  • Each protruding tongue is provided with a hole 58 at its upper part, that is to say above the panel itself.
  • this cassette is provided with a memory 60 and a pin 62 intended to be connected with a corresponding pin, not shown, secured to the frame of the display device.
  • the frame of the display device according to the invention comprises a foot 18 oriented towards the rear and ensuring the stability of the assembly as shown in detail in FIG. 3.
  • this piloting unit 64 for piloting the selection, gripping and transfer means, this piloting unit being supplied with the information contained in the memory 60 thanks to the connecting pin 62 of The tape.
  • the user positions a module of the display device according to the invention, as has just been described, at the place where he wishes to display the information represented on the display panels 28.
  • a cassette 54 comprises various panels 28, 28 A, 28 B, 28 C, which are arranged in any order in the cassette, the tab being oriented upwards and the side with the information being oriented towards the rear of the device .
  • the memory 60 of the cassette has been programmed with the times of passage of the panels and the order of passage of these. As soon as the cassette is connected to the frame 10, the information contained in the memory 60 is transferred, thanks to the pin 62, to the control unit 64.
  • the control unit 64 therefore has in memory the "tops" of passage, the durations of passage and the coordinates of the panels to be passed.
  • the display of panel A is provided . Consequently, the electromagnet 38 of the jack 36 A , that is to say of the jack arranged opposite the tongue A, is supplied so that the plunger acting as a support projects out of the body of the jack 36 and the diver passes through the hole 58 of tongue 56 A.
  • the control unit 64 then controls the starting of the motorization so as to rotate the pulleys 44 which themselves drive the toothed belt 48, which itself drives the support strip 42 on which the jacks 36 are attached
  • the poster A is therefore extracted from the reserve 54 and the tongue, mounted flexible with respect to the panel, is driven and curves so as to follow the profile of the strip 42 in closed loop, the tongue being pressed and held by the inside the strip 22, so that the tongue does not "jump" from the end of the plunger of the gripping means 32.
  • the end of the plunger head is slightly flattened so to give it a blocking power.
  • the semi-rigid panel bends in turn and follows the profile of the strip 42 and as soon as the panel begins to descend into the display window 12, it is pressed against the transparent outer protective wall 26 by the plating element springs 50.
  • the control unit stops the motorization, so that the face of the panel A carrying the information is perfectly positioned in the display window 12.
  • control unit supplies power again to the motorization to cause the gripping of panel B by a second series of jacks 36, and simultaneously panel A is returned to its initial position.
  • the tongue is held by the strip 24 on the gripping means 32, the tongue being, after its rotation, held by gravity, the panel exerting by its own weight a pull downwards.
  • the panel When the panel is in line with the reserve, taking into account the inclination of the frame, the lower part of the panel is housed in the reserve. It then suffices to excite the electromagnet of the jack 36 so that the tongue is released from the gripping means 32. The panel, of sufficient rigidity, is pressed against the panel C remaining in the reserve. During this phase, the panel B has been placed to the right of the display window 12 and it remains for the programmed duration.
  • the control unit thus causes the display of the various panels at the different times and for the established durations.
  • the user can also change display panels almost instantly. It suffices for this to prepare a cassette and to put in the memory 60 the necessary information, then to substitute the second cassette for the first, the information transmitted to the control unit by the first cassette being erased and replaced by the information contained in the memory 60 of the second cassette.
  • the cassette has no memory and the control unit 64 is connected either by a radio link or by cable to a control station which may be a program previously introduced into a microcomputer.
  • control unit is then directly linked to the pre-established sequence in the microcomputer, which makes it possible to modify in real time, the order of passage of the panels, or quite simply the duration of passage.
  • the gripping means that is to say the plunger may itself be an electromagnet on which the tongue covered with a metallic film could come to be pressed by magnetic forces.
  • the frame can be modified, in particular its inclination, or even its general external appearance.
  • Such a display device can be mounted on poles, for display in the city for example, or well installed on a vehicle for mobile urban display.
  • the preferred embodiment of the invention provides for the use of composite materials or more generally of plastic materials which allow by molding the manufacture of high precision elements, while the different transparent facades , the panels and the band of the transfer means are provided in suitable materials such as polycarbonate, plasticized sheets for the panels and a transparent plastic film for the band in closed loop.
  • the production of the panels can advantageously be carried out from plastic sheets, the lateral edges of which are stiffened by a metal tape, slightly bent transversely, equivalent to the measuring tape, so as to ensure sufficient rigidity of the panel when it is in the vertical position while allowing easy bending as soon as the bending begins.
  • the system can be made bright thanks to neon lights, for example, placed behind the panels.
  • the attachment means may consist of a retractable lug, an inflatable balloon, or an expandable mandrel, arranged at the end of a movable rod, these various means cooperating with the holes in the tabs of the panels.
