Description

L'invention concerne un présentoir (comme déjà connu du US-A-4 923 070) pour objets de forme allongée, comportant un pied de présentoir et plusieurs compartiments de présentation présentant une ouverture supérieureThe invention relates to a display (as already known from US-A-4,923,070) for elongated objects, comprising a display stand and several presentation compartments having an upper opening.

L'invention s'applique plus particulièrement à la présentation d'objets du type stylos à bille, stylos à pointe feutre, crayons à papier ou autres instruments d'écriture.The invention applies more particularly to the presentation of objects of the ballpoint pens, felt tip pens, pencils or other writing instruments type.

Sur les présentoirs actuellement utilisés, les objets de forme allongée sont utilisés dans une succession de compartiments transparents emboités les uns sur les autres et amovibles.On the displays currently used, the elongated objects are used in a succession of transparent compartments nested one on the other and removable.

Lorsqu'on veut saisir un objet, il est nécessaire de le dégager d'un ensemble d'objets rangés en bottes ou en fagots ou de le saisir à travers un enchevêtrement d'objets.When you want to grab an object, it is necessary to free it from a set of objects stored in bundles or bundles or to grab it through a tangle of objects.

On connaît des présentoirs de comptoir constitués par assemblage de cloisons délimitant des compartiments fixes présentant les produits par rangées ou par colonnes.Counter displays are known which consist of assembling partitions defining fixed compartments presenting the products in rows or columns.

Pour des raisons d'accessibilité et de rechargement, les ouvertures permettant d'appréhender les objets de forme allongée présentent une section sensiblement égale à la section du compartiment : il en résulte que ces compartiments facilement accessibles peuvent être aisément vidés par des chapardeurs emportant une grande quantité de ces objets.For reasons of accessibility and reloading, the openings making it possible to apprehend the objects of elongated shape have a section substantially equal to the section of the compartment: it follows that these easily accessible compartments can be easily emptied by pilferers carrying a large quantity of these objects.

L'invention a pour but d'améliorer la sécurité et de réduire les risques de vol d'objets allongés, en effectuant une présentation ordonnée de ces objets tout en empêchant l'appréhension simultanée d'un grand nombre d'objets, c'est-à-dire en permettant un rechargement des compartiments aussi aisé que dans l'art antérieur mais en ne permettant qu'un retrait unitaire ou limité des objets de forme allongée.The invention aims to improve security and reduce the risk of theft of elongated objects, by making an orderly presentation of these objects while preventing the simultaneous apprehension of a large number of objects, it is that is to say by allowing the compartments to be reloaded as easily as in the prior art but by only allowing a unitary or limited withdrawal of the objects of elongated shape.

L'invention a pour objet un présentoir pour objets de forme allongée, comportant un pied de présentoir et plusieurs compartiments de présentation, présentant une ouverture superieure caractérisé en ce que les compartiments sont assemblés de façon indissociable au pied de présentoir, à pivotement par rapport audit pied autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal, lesdits compartiments comportent chacun une échancrure de préhension d'objets allongés, comportent des axes de rotation prisonniers dans des alésages solidaires du pied de présentoir. reposent l'un sur l'autre et délimitent entre eux des fentes étroites de largeur correspondant à l'extraction d'un objet allongé et empêchant l'extraction manuelle d'un paquet d'objets de forme allongée, de manière que dans la position de présentation l'extraction des objets se fasse en petite quantité et que dans la position de rechargement, le pivotement des compartiments donne accès à l'ouverture supérieure d'un compartiment donné.The subject of the invention is a display stand for elongated objects, comprising a display stand and several presentation compartments, having an upper opening characterized in that the compartments are assembled inseparable from the display stand, pivoting relative to said display foot around a substantially horizontal axis, said compartments each comprise a notch for gripping elongated objects, comprise axes of rotation trapped in bores integral with the display stand. rest one on the other and delimit between them narrow slots of width corresponding to the extraction of an elongated object and preventing the manual extraction of a bundle of elongated objects, so that in the position presentation the extraction of objects is done in small quantities and that in the reloading position, the pivoting of the compartments gives access to the upper opening of a given compartment.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :According to other characteristics of the invention:

Les compartiments comportent des fonds munis d'une échancrure, chaque fond étant relevé vers l'avant et recourbé selon une forme cylindrique.The compartments include bottoms provided with a notch, each bottom being raised forward and curved into a cylindrical shape.

Les compartiments sont inclinés vers l'avant selon un angle compris entre 5° et 35°.The compartments are tilted forward at an angle between 5 ° and 35 °.

Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, l'enlèvement de compartiments remplis d'objets de forme allongée est impossible sans emporter le présentoir dans son intégralité, d'une part ; et l'ouverture des compartiments qui est limitée en situation de présentation est dégagée en position de rechargement grâce au pivotement des compartiments par rapport au pied du présentoir, d'autre part.Thus, thanks to the invention, the removal of compartments filled with elongated objects is impossible without carrying the display in its entirety, on the one hand; and the opening of the compartments which is limited in the presentation situation is released in the reloading position thanks to the pivoting of the compartments relative to the base of the display, on the other hand.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif au regard des dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 représente une vue schématique en perspective d'un présentoir selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente une vue de dessus d'un pied de présentoir selon l'invention.
  • La figure 3 représente une vue de face d'un compartiment de présentoir selon l'invention.
  • La figure 4 représente une vue de dessus d'un compartiment de présentoir selon l'invention.
  • La figure 5 représente une vue schématique en coupe transversale d'un compartiment de présentoir selon l'invention selon la ligne V-V de la figure 4.
The invention will be better understood from the description given by way of nonlimiting example with regard to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a display unit according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a top view of a display stand according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 represents a front view of a display compartment according to the invention.
  • Figure 4 shows a top view of a display compartment according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 represents a schematic cross-sectional view of a display compartment according to the invention along the line VV of FIG. 4.

Sur la figure 1, un présentoir 1 selon l'invention comporte un pied de présentoir 2 avec des compartiments 3 articulés à rotation sur le pied de présentoir 2. Chaque compartiment 3 peut pivoter autour d'un axe de rotation sensiblement horizontal dans le sens de la flèche R de la figure 1 pour donner accès au compartiment immédiatement inférieur.In FIG. 1, a display stand 1 according to the invention comprises a display stand 2 with compartments 3 articulated in rotation on the display stand 2. Each compartment 3 can pivot around a substantially horizontal axis of rotation in the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 1 to give access to the immediately lower compartment.

Les compartiments 3 sont inclinés vers l'avant du présentoir et vers le bas selon un angle compris entre 5° et 35°. Les objets placés dans un compartiment 3 glissent donc naturellement vers l'avant jusqu'au niveau d'une échancrure 4 découpée dans la face avant et le fond du compartiment 3. L'échancrure 4 facilite ainsi la préhension des objets allongés qui glissent jusqu'à l'avant du compartiment de manière à présenter leur milieu au niveau de l'échancrure 4.The compartments 3 are inclined towards the front of the display unit and downwards at an angle between 5 ° and 35 °. Objects placed in a compartment 3 therefore naturally slide forward up to the level of a notch 4 cut in the front face and the bottom of the compartment 3. The notch 4 thus facilitates the gripping of elongated objects which slide up to at the front of the compartment so as to present their middle at the notch 4.

Sur la figure 2, le pied de présentoir 2 comporte des moyens d'accrochage 5 par exemple des pattes ou des crampons de fixation en face arrière d'un profilé 6 en U.In FIG. 2, the display stand 2 includes attachment means 5, for example lugs or fixing studs on the rear face of a U-shaped profile 6.

Ce profilé 6 en U comporte en haut du pied de présentoir une traverse 7 de consolidation apte à recevoir une enseigne ou un panneau publicitaire dans l'intervalle 8 compris entre la traverse 7 et un rebord avant 9 du profilé en U.This U-shaped profile 6 comprises, at the top of the display stand, a cross-member 7 for consolidation capable of receiving a sign or an advertising panel. in the interval 8 between the cross member 7 and a front edge 9 of the U-shaped profile.

A cet effet on prévoit que le fond de l'intervalle 8 soit obturé pour empêcher tout glissement vertical du panneau publicitaire.For this purpose it is provided that the bottom of the interval 8 is closed to prevent any vertical sliding of the advertising panel.

A l'intérieur de la forme en U du profilé 6, des plots de fixation 10 carrés, cylindriques ou rectangulaires comportent des alésages 11 destinés à recevoir à rotation des axes solidaires de compartiments 3.Inside the U-shape of the profile 6, square, cylindrical or rectangular fixing studs 10 have bores 11 intended to receive rotational axes integral with compartments 3.

Avantageusement, la conformation 6 en U est obtenue par rabattement et déformation plastique d'une forme plane comportant deux bandes parallèles espacées contenant chacune un ensemble de plots de fixation 10 comportant des alésages 11, de manière que la conformation en U coopérant avec les bandes parallèles précitées retienne prisonniers les axes de pivotements des compartiments après rabattement et soit verrouillée par une traverse 7 ou un moyen de consolidation analogue empêchant tout écartement des montants parallèles de la conformation 6 en U et tout dégagement des axes de pivotement prisonniers des alésages des plots 10.Advantageously, the U-shaped configuration 6 is obtained by folding and plastic deformation of a flat shape comprising two spaced parallel strips each containing a set of fixing studs 10 comprising bores 11, so that the U-shaped configuration cooperating with the parallel strips abovementioned retain the pivot axes of the compartments after folding down and either locked by a cross-member 7 or a similar consolidation means preventing any separation of the parallel uprights of the U-shaped configuration 6 and any disengagement of the pivot axes of prisoners from the bores of the studs 10.

Le pied de présentoir 2 comporte également un plan incliné 12 sur lequel repose le compartiment 3 le plus inférieur. Le plan incliné 12 est adjacent à deux faces latérales 13 et à une face frontale 14.The display stand 2 also includes an inclined plane 12 on which the lower 3 compartment 3 rests. The inclined plane 12 is adjacent to two lateral faces 13 and to a front face 14.

On prévoit avantageusement sur la face frontale d'adapter une pince de fixation 15 en matière plastique transparente pour fixer élastiquement par exemple : un bloc ou une feuille de papier.Advantageously, provision is made on the front face to adapt a fixing clip 15 made of transparent plastic to fix elastically, for example: a block or a sheet of paper.

Le pied de présentoir est réalisé de préférence en éléments en matière synthétique thermoplastique formée à chaud et assemblée par collage ou soudure aux ultrasons.The display stand is preferably made of elements of thermoplastic synthetic material formed hot and assembled by gluing or ultrasonic welding.

Selon l'invention, le présentoir est assemblé de manière à ce que les compartiments 3 ne puissent être retirés du pied 2 et que leur seule liberté de mouvement soit une liberté de pivotement autour d'un axe de rotation sensiblement horizontal selon le sens de la flèche R de la figure 1.According to the invention, the display is assembled in such a way that the compartments 3 cannot be removed from the stand 2 and that their only freedom of movement is freedom of pivoting around a substantially horizontal axis of rotation in the direction of the arrow R in figure 1.

Sur les figures 3 à 5, un compartiment de présentoir selon l'invention comporte un fond plein 16 sur lequel reposent les objets de forme allongée.In FIGS. 3 to 5, a display compartment according to the invention comprises a solid bottom 16 on which the objects of elongated shape rest.

Le fond plein 16 comporte une échancrure 17 sensiblement en forme de demi-cercle.The solid bottom 16 has a notch 17 substantially in the shape of a semicircle.

Le fond plein 16 est relevé et recourbé vers l'avant selon une forme cylindrique 18.The solid bottom 16 is raised and curved forward in a cylindrical shape 18.

L'échancrure 17 se prolonge dans la forme cylindrique 18 sensiblement selon deux secteurs parallèles 19 qui sont des sections droites de la forme cylindrique 18.The notch 17 extends into the cylindrical shape 18 substantially along two parallel sectors 19 which are straight sections of the cylindrical shape 18.

La forme cylindrique 18 est limitée par une génératrice 20 sensiblement horizontale.The cylindrical shape 18 is limited by a substantially horizontal generator 20.

A l'intersection dos secteurs parallèles 19 et de la génératrice 20, on prévoit avantageusement deux arrondis 21 pour empêcher tout risque d'accrochage ou de coupure.At the intersection of parallel sectors 19 and generator 20, two rounded edges 21 are advantageously provided to prevent any risk of snagging or cutting.

Le fond plat 16 ainsi formé est bordé par 3 faces latérales : 1 face arrière 22 avantageusement formée en relevant et en recourbant le fond plein 16 vers l'arrière et deux faces 23 et 24 qui sont, après assemblage du présentoir 1, parallèles aux deux côtés du profilé 6 en U.The flat bottom 16 thus formed is bordered by 3 lateral faces: 1 rear face 22 advantageously formed by raising and bending the solid bottom 16 towards the rear and two faces 23 and 24 which are, after assembly of the display unit 1, parallel to the two sides of U-shaped profile 6.

Les faces 23 et 24 de forme adaptée à celle du fond portent des axes de rotation 25 et 26 qui sont de diamètres correspondants aux diamètres des alésages 11 de la figure 2.The faces 23 and 24 of a shape adapted to that of the bottom carry axes of rotation 25 and 26 which are of diameters corresponding to the diameters of the bores 11 in FIG. 2.

Après assemblage du présentoir 1, on comprend que les axes de rotation 25 et 26 prisonniers d'alésages 11 permettent le pivotement des compartiments 3 selon la flèche R de la figure 1, mais s'opposent à tout autre mouvement et empêchent en particulier d'emporter les compartiments 3 sans déplacer tout le présentoir 1.After assembly of the display unit 1, it is understood that the axes of rotation 25 and 26 prisoners of bores 11 allow the pivoting of the compartments 3 according to the arrow R in FIG. 1, but are opposed to any other movement and prevent in particular from take away the compartments 3 without moving the entire display 1.

L'échancrure 4 ou 17 de préhension permet la prise des objets allongés un par un et leur extraction par la fente 27 définie par l'empilement de deux compartiments 3.The gripping notch 4 or 17 allows the elongated objects to be taken one by one and extracted by the slot 27 defined by the stacking of two compartments 3.

Mais la faible largeur de la fente 27 empêche l'extraction d'un paquet d'objets de forme allongée et réduit ainsi les risques de vol d'objets allongés.However, the narrow width of the slot 27 prevents the extraction of a packet of elongated objects and thus reduces the risk of theft of elongated objects.

Lorsque l'on souhaite recharger un compartiment donné par addition d'un grand nombre d'objets allongés, il suffit de faire pivoter l'ensemble des compartiments supérieurs à ce compartiment donné selon la flèche R de la figure 1 : grâce à ce pivotement, l'accès à l'ouverture supérieure 28 est possible et le rechargement est très facile et très rapide du fait que l'ouverture 28 correspond à la surface totale du fond 16.When it is desired to reload a given compartment by adding a large number of elongated objects, it suffices to rotate all of the upper compartments to this given compartment according to the arrow R in FIG. 1: thanks to this pivoting, access to the upper opening 28 is possible and reloading is very easy and very fast because the opening 28 corresponds to the total surface of the bottom 16.

Avantageusement on prévoit que des moyens de verrouillage non représentés empêchent le pivotement des compartiments 3 selon le sens de la flèche R de la figure 1.Advantageously, provision is made for locking means, not shown, to prevent the compartments 3 from pivoting in the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 1.
