Description

L'invention concerne un présentoir pour étagère, permettant la mise en place sur des étagères d'un magasin de boîtes de produit de différentes largeurs.The invention relates to a shelf display, allowing the placement on shelves of a store of product boxes of different widths.

On utilise déjà des présentoirs permettant le rangement et la présentation de boîtes, de tubes ou d'autres produits vendus sur étagères dans les magasins, qui sont fabriqués sur mesure selon les dimensions des emballages à ranger sur celles-ci. Ces présentoirs sont généralement adaptés aux dimensions de l'étagère particulière à laquelle ils sont destinés. Il est donc nécessaire de disposer d'une gamme étendue de présentoirs de largeurs variées. De plus, ces présentoirs sont souvent préparés pour un type très spécifique d'emballages. Dans le cas d'un ensemble d'emballages de différentes largeurs, le nombre de rangées, pour chaque largeur déterminée, et l'ordre dans lequel ces emballages sont rangés, sont alors préétablis et ne peuvent être modifiés.Displays are already used for the storage and presentation of boxes, tubes or other products sold on shelves in stores, which are custom-made according to the dimensions of the packaging to be stored thereon. These displays are generally adapted to the dimensions of the particular shelf for which they are intended. It is therefore necessary to have a wide range of displays of various widths. In addition, these displays are often prepared for a very specific type of packaging. In the case of a set of packages of different widths, the number of rows, for each determined width, and the order in which these packages are stored, are then preset and cannot be modified.

Le document FR-A-2.443.817 concerne un dispositif de rangement de présentation d'articles divers, comportant une embase et des joues délimitant une cellule ou un alvéole de réception des articles à présenter. Il est possible d'assembler deux ou plusieurs embases élémentaires par l'intermédiaire de tenons et mortaises pour former un plan de support en forme de pupitre offrant une surface de réception accrue. En cas de besoin, au moins un séparateur amovible destiné à diviser une rangée d'objets à présenter en deux ou plusieurs sections peut être mis en place.Document FR-A-2,443,817 relates to a storage device for presenting various articles, comprising a base and cheeks delimiting a cell or a cell for receiving the articles to be presented. It is possible to assemble two or more elementary bases by means of tenons and mortises to form a support plane in the form of a desk offering an increased reception surface. If necessary, at least one removable divider intended to divide a row of objects to be presented in two or more sections can be put in place.

Le document DE-U-85.20.125 concerne un présentoir pour étagère formé par une pluralité de profilés comportant chacun une aile horizontale et une aile verticale. Les profilés sont disposés parallèlement l'un à l'autre et à une distance l'un de l'autre et sont attachés l'un à l'autre au moyen de deux traverses plates s'étendant dans le même plan que l'aile horizontale du profilé et transversalement par rapport à l'étendue longitudinale du profilé. Lors de l'assemblage de deux profilés, la longueur des traverses est ajustées par découpage à des endroits présélectionnés. Ainsi, la largeur de chaque élément est ajustée lors de la première installation du présentoir ou, dans le seul sens d'un rétrécissement de la largeur des éléments, lors d'une nouvelle installation du présentoir ou de changement des objets à présenter.Document DE-U-85.20.125 relates to a shelf display unit formed by a plurality of sections, each comprising a horizontal wing and a vertical wing. The profiles are arranged parallel to each other and at a distance from each other and are attached to each other by means of two flat cross members extending in the same plane as the horizontal wing of the profile and transversely with respect to the longitudinal extent of the profile. When assembling two profiles, the length of the crossbeams is adjusted by cutting at preselected locations. Thus, the width of each element is adjusted during the first installation of the display or, in the only direction of a narrowing of the width of the elements, during a new installation of the display or change of the objects to be presented.

Le but de l'invention est de concevoir un présentoir pour étagère qui évite les inconvénients précités.The object of the invention is to design a shelf display which avoids the aforementioned drawbacks.

L'invention a pour objet un présentoir pour étagère comprenant une base destinée à constituer un plan de rangement de largeur réglable et au moins un séparateur amovible destiné à être disposé entre deux rangées d'objet à présenter. La base est formée d'une pluralité d'éléments juxtaposés de forme générale rectangulaire et chaque élément comporte des évidements de forme générale rectangulaire formés dans le plan de rangement et destinés à recevoir des moyens de fixation du séparateur amovible.The subject of the invention is a display unit for a shelf comprising a base intended to constitute a storage plan of adjustable width and at least one removable divider intended to be disposed between two rows of object to be presented. The base is formed of a plurality of juxtaposed elements of generally rectangular shape and each element has recesses of generally rectangular shape formed in the storage plane and intended to receive means for fixing the removable separator.

Conformément à l'invention, un tel présentoir est caractérisé en ce que la base comprend au moins un rebord coulissant et en ce que chaque élément comporte un premier bord et un deuxième bord formé de façon à pouvoir recevoir le rebord coulissant.According to the invention, such a display is characterized in that the base comprises at least one sliding rim and in that each element has a first edge and a second edge formed so as to be able to receive the sliding rim.

Le présentoir de l'invention présente l'avantage de répondre aux contraintes de produits ou d'emballage variés en évitant des outillages et des moulages spéciaux. De plus, il présente l'avantage de pouvoir être constitué à partir d'éléments standardisés.The display of the invention has the advantage of meeting the constraints of various products or packaging by avoiding special tools and moldings. In addition, it has the advantage of being able to be constituted from standardized elements.

L'invention concerne également les caractéristiques ci-après, considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniquement possibles:

  • chacun des éléments juxtaposés est de forme générale rectangulaire, les deux bords plus longs du rectangle constituant le premier et le deuxième bord de l'élément.
The invention also relates to the following characteristics, considered in isolation or in all their technically possible combinations:
  • each of the juxtaposed elements is of generally rectangular shape, the two longer edges of the rectangle constituting the first and the second edge of the element.

Un présentoir constitué d'éléments rectangulaires correspond au premier mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention. Il est cependant concevable qu'au moins une partie des éléments juxtaposés ait une forme différente d'un rectangle pour adapter le présentoir de l'invention, par exemple, à un emplacement d'angle. Ainsi, au moins un des éléments du présentoir de l'invention peut avoir la forme générale d'un secteur de cercle.

  • Chacun des éléments juxtaposés comprend des moyens de guidage et de verrouillage destinés au montage mobile du rebord coulissant.
  • Le rebord coulissant comprend un profilé en forme de cornière dont une première aile est destinée à être disposée dans le même plan que le plan de rangement et dont l'autre aile, la seconde aile, constitue une face d'appui pour les objets rangés, et au moins un coulisseau formé et attaché au rebord coulissant de façon à ce que la première aile soit disposée dans un plan sensiblement parallèle au plan de rangement.
  • Chacun des coulisseaux du rebord coulissant est formé par un profilé plat qui est attaché au rebord coulissant perpendiculairement à l'étendue longitudinale du rebord coulissant. De préférence, les coulisseaux sont crantés.
A display unit made up of rectangular elements corresponds to the first preferred embodiment of the invention. It is however conceivable that at least a part of the juxtaposed elements has a shape different from a rectangle to adapt the display of the invention, for example, to a corner location. Thus, at least one of the elements of the display of the invention can have the general shape of a sector of a circle.
  • Each of the juxtaposed elements comprises guide and locking means intended for the mobile mounting of the sliding rim.
  • The sliding rim comprises an angle-shaped profile, a first wing of which is intended to be arranged in the same plane as the storage plane and of which the other wing, the second wing, constitutes a bearing face for the objects stored, and at least one slide formed and attached to the sliding edge so that the first wing is arranged in a plane substantially parallel to the storage plane.
  • Each of the sliders of the sliding rim is formed by a flat profile which is attached to the sliding rim perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the sliding rim. Preferably, the slides are notched.

Dans le cas d'éléments rectangulaires, le coulisseau est formé par un profilé plat droit. L'étendue rectiligne du profilé, d'une part, et la disposition des moyens de guidage et de verrouillage de chacun des éléments du présentoir, d'autre part, assurent par leur coopération la mobilité du rebord coulissant dans le sens de la juxtaposition des éléments.In the case of rectangular elements, the slide is formed by a straight flat profile. The rectilinear extent of the profile, on the one hand, and the arrangement of the means for guiding and locking each of the elements of the display, on the other hand, ensure by their cooperation the mobility of the sliding rim in the direction of the juxtaposition of the elements.

Dans le cas d'éléments ayant une autre forme que la forme rectangulaire, par exemple dans le cas d'éléments ayant la forme d'un secteur de cercle, chacun des coulisseaux est formé par un profilé plat ayant la forme générale d'un arc de cercle ou toute autre géométrie appropriée pour assurer, en coopération avec la disposition des moyens de guidage et de verrouillage, une mobilité du rebord coulissant le long d'une ligne médiane allant du premier bord au deuxième bord de l'élément.

  • Les évidements destinés à recevoir les moyens de fixation d'un séparateur amovible ont la forme générale d'une rainure dont les extrémités sont orientées transversalement respectivement par rapport au premier et au deuxième bords de l'élément.
In the case of elements having a shape other than the rectangular shape, for example in the case of elements having the shape of a sector of a circle, each of the sliders is formed by a flat profile having the general shape of an arc of circle or any other appropriate geometry to ensure, in cooperation with the arrangement of the guide and locking means, mobility of the sliding rim along a median line going from the first edge to the second edge of the element.
  • The recesses intended to receive the means for fixing a removable separator have the general shape of a groove, the ends of which are oriented transversely relative to the first and to the second edges of the element.

Les critères qui régissent la forme de la rainure correspondent dans leur principe aux critères qui régissent la forme de chacun des coulisseaux du rebord coulissant. Ainsi, un élément rectangulaire est muni d'évidements ayant la forme générale d'une rainure rectiligne, alors qu'un élément ayant la forme générale d'un secteur de cercle est muni d'évidements représentant un arc de cercle.The criteria which govern the shape of the groove correspond in principle to the criteria which govern the shape of each of the slides of the sliding rim. Thus, a rectangular element is provided with recesses having the general shape of a rectilinear groove, while an element having the general shape of a sector of a circle is provided with recesses representing an arc of a circle.

Les évidements généralement destinés à recevoir les moyens de fixation d'un séparateur amovible peuvent également être utilisés pour fixer, sur l'élément du présentoir, un support muni d'un poussoir à ressort. De tels poussoirs à ressort sont particulièrement avantageux dans le cas où l'on veut assurer un avancement des objets mis en place chaque fois qu'un objet est enlevé de la rangée.

  • Chacun des séparateurs amovibles comprend une cloison destinée à être montée en épi, par rapport au plan de rangement, et, au moins, un bras de fixation dont l'une des extrémités est attachée à la cloison alors que l'autre est munie d'une tête de fixation destinée à être engagée dans un des évidements formés dans le plan de rangement. La tête de fixation est en déport par rapport au plan de symétrie de la cloison.
The recesses generally intended to receive the means for fixing a removable separator can also be used to fix, on the element of the display, a support provided with a spring plunger. Such spring plungers are particularly advantageous in the case where it is desired to ensure the advancement of the objects placed each time an object is removed from the row.
  • Each of the removable dividers comprises a partition intended to be mounted on an ear, with respect to the storage plane, and, at least, a fixing arm, one end of which is attached to the partition while the other is provided with a fixing head intended to be engaged in one of the recesses formed in the storage plane. The fixing head is offset from the plane of symmetry of the partition.

Pour permettre un rangement de boîtes les unes sur les autres ou un rangement d'objets hauts ayant une base étroite, la cloison peut être surélevée au moyen d'une rallonge susceptible d'être fixée sur la cloison par clipsage ou par enfichage.To allow storage of boxes one on top of the other or storage of tall objects having a narrow base, the partition can be raised by means of an extension capable of being fixed to the partition by clipping or by plugging.

Par ailleurs, les séparateurs peuvent être complétés ou remplacés par des moyens de calage présentant une certaine largeur à un niveau supérieur au plan de rangement. De tels moyens de calage permettent notamment le rangement et l'alignement de tubes de crème posés sur leur bouchon et d'autres objets présentant une largeur plus grande à un niveau différent de celui de la base sur laquelle ils sont posés.

  • Chacun des éléments juxtaposés comprend un troisième bord destiné à constituer un rebord avant de la base du présentoir et à recevoir une façade porteuse d'informations. La façade peut être moulée, de façon à représenter un motif choisi par l'utilisateur, et dans la largeur de chaque élément.
Furthermore, the separators can be completed or replaced by wedging means having a certain width at a level higher than the storage plane. Such wedging means allow in particular the storage and alignment of tubes of cream placed on their stopper and other objects having a greater width at a level different from that of the base on which they are placed.
  • Each of the juxtaposed elements comprises a third edge intended to constitute a front rim of the base of the display and to receive a front carrying information. The facade can be molded, so as to represent a pattern chosen by the user, and in the width of each element.

La façade peut, cependant, être également prise dans une façade extrudée, coupée à la largeur d'au moins une partie de la base du présentoir, de préférence, coupée à la largeur totale du présentoir. Dans tous les cas, la façade peut être attachée au rebord avant de la base du présentoir par accrochage, encliquetage ou par tout autre montage conservant le caractère amovible de la fixation de la façade.The facade can, however, also be taken in an extruded facade, cut to the width of at least part of the base of the display, preferably cut to the total width of the display. In all cases, the facade can be attached to the front edge of the base of the display by hooking, snap-fastening or by any other assembly retaining the removable nature of the fixing of the facade.

Par ailleurs, la façade peut être formée de façon à présenter une partie pivotante destinée à recevoir des informations sur les objets présentés. Ces informations peuvent être posées sur la partie pivotante sous forme d'une étiquette adhésive ou d'une étiquette glissée dans un cadre prévu à cet effet.Furthermore, the facade can be formed so as to present a pivoting part intended to receive information on the objects presented. This information can be placed on the pivoting part in the form of an adhesive label or a label slipped into a frame provided for this purpose.

En alternative, les éléments du présentoir peuvent être formés, eux-mêmes, de façon à pouvoir recevoir en-dessous du plan de rangement, et donc en-dessous des objets exposés sur l'étagère, une tablette coulissante porteuse d'informations sur les produits ou objets mis en place sur l'étagère.As an alternative, the elements of the display can be formed, themselves, so as to be able to receive below the storage plane, and therefore below the objects displayed on the shelf, a sliding shelf carrying information on the products or objects placed on the shelf.

Pour la stabilité du présentoir, il convient de prévoir des moyens destinés à assurer un attachement à la fois amovible et suffisamment rigide du premier bord au deuxième bord de deux éléments juxtaposés correspondants. Conformément à l'invention, le premier bord et le deuxième bord de chaque élément sont munis chacun d'au moins deux queues d'aronde. Les queues d'aronde sont de type mâle ou de type femelle. La répartition des queues d'aronde mâles et femelles sur le premier bord et le deuxième bord est quelconque sous réserve que, le deuxième bord de chaque élément est muni du même nombre de queues d'aronde que le premier bord et que le type de chacune des queues d'aronde du deuxième bord est complémentaire du type de la queue d'aronde correspondante du premier bord.For the stability of the display, it is necessary to provide means intended to ensure an attachment which is both removable and sufficiently rigid from the first edge to the second edge of two corresponding juxtaposed elements. According to the invention, the first edge and the second edge of each element are each provided with at least two dovetails. The dovetails are of type male or female type. The distribution of the male and female dovetails on the first edge and the second edge is arbitrary provided that, the second edge of each element is provided with the same number of dovetails as the first edge and that the type of each dovetails of the second edge is complementary to the type of the corresponding dovetail of the first edge.

La Figure 1 représente, en mode de réalisation préférée de l'invention, un présentoir destiné à être posé sur une étagère, ou à la place d'une étagère, d'un meuble de rangement destiné à la présentation de toutes sortes de produits vendus sur étagère dans un magasin, indépendamment de la largeur de l'emballage de ces produits.Figure 1 shows, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a display intended to be placed on a shelf, or instead of a shelf, of a storage cabinet for the presentation of all kinds of products sold off the shelf in a store, regardless of the width of the packaging for these products.

Le présentoir comprend une base 1 destinée à constituer un plan de rangement A sur lequel les articles de vente, appelés par la suite des objets, seront rangés. La base 1 est formée d'une pluralité d'éléments juxtaposés, dont la Figure 1 ne montre que les éléments 2, 3 et 4. Les éléments 2, 3 et 4 étant identiques entre eux, la description de l'élément 2 est valable de manière comparable pour les autres éléments 3 et 4 montrés en Figure 1 et pour les autres éléments montrés de façon très schématisée sur la Figure 10.The display unit includes a base 1 intended to constitute a storage plan A on which the sales items, hereinafter called objects, will be stored. The base 1 is formed of a plurality of juxtaposed elements, of which Figure 1 shows only the elements 2, 3 and 4. The elements 2, 3 and 4 being identical to each other, the description of the element 2 is valid in a comparable manner for the other elements 3 and 4 shown in FIG. 1 and for the other elements shown very schematically in FIG. 10.

L'élément 2 est de forme générale rectangulaire et comporte une surface de rangement C délimitée par un premier bord 5, un deuxième bord 6, un troisième bord 7 et un quatrième bord 8. Le premier bord 5 et le deuxième bord 6 représentent les côtés les plus longs du rectangle et sont destinés à venir en contact avec les premiers bords et deuxièmes bords d'éléments juxtaposés. Le troisième bord 7 est destiné à constituer un rebord avant de la base 1 du présentoir et à recevoir une façade 9 qui peut porter des informations concernant les objets rangés sur le présentoir. La façade 9 peut être attachée, de façon amovible, directement au troisième bord 7 de l'élément 2. Il est cependant préférable de munir le troisième bord 7 d'un rebord 10 solidaire de l'élément 2.The element 2 is generally rectangular in shape and has a storage surface C delimited by a first edge 5, a second edge 6, a third edge 7 and a fourth edge 8. The first edge 5 and the second edge 6 represent the sides the longest of the rectangle and are intended to come into contact with the first edges and second edges of juxtaposed elements. The third edge 7 is intended to constitute a front rim of the base 1 of the display and to receive a front 9 which can carry information concerning the objects stored on the display stand. The facade 9 can be removably attached directly to the third edge 7 of the element 2. It is however preferable to provide the third edge 7 with a flange 10 integral with the element 2.

La façade 9 est constituée par un profilé coupé à la largeur de l'élément 2. La façade 9 est attachée au rebord avant 10 par accrochage.The front 9 consists of a profile cut to the width of the element 2. The front 9 is attached to the front edge 10 by hooking.

L'élément 2 ayant une largeur définie, la largeur d'un présentoir que l'on obtient par juxtaposition d'une pluralité d'éléments 2 serait limitée à un multiple entier de la largeur de l'élément 2, s'il n'était pas prévu de pouvoir munir l'élément 2 d'un rebord coulissant 11. Le rebord coulissant 11 est constitué par un profilé en forme de cornière avec une première aile 12 et une deuxième aile 13. La première aile 12 est destinée à être disposée dans le même plan que la surface de rangement C de l'élément 2, et donc dans le même plan que de rangement A de la base 1. La deuxième aile 13 est destinée à constituer une face d'appui pour les objets à ranger. Le rebord coulissant 11 a une longueur sensiblement identique à celle du premier bord 5 de l'élément 2. Un rebord 14, formé solidairement avec le rebord coulissant 11 est disposé de façon à constituer une prolongation du rebord avant 10 de l'élément 2.Since element 2 has a defined width, the width of a display unit obtained by juxtaposing a plurality of elements 2 would be limited to an integer multiple of the width of element 2, if it is not was not provided to be able to provide the element 2 with a sliding rim 11. The sliding rim 11 is constituted by an angle-shaped profile with a first wing 12 and a second wing 13. The first wing 12 is intended to be arranged in the same plane as the storage surface C of the element 2, and therefore in the same plane as the storage A of the base 1. The second wing 13 is intended to constitute a bearing face for the objects to be stored. The sliding rim 11 has a length substantially identical to that of the first edge 5 of the element 2. A rim 14, formed integrally with the sliding rim 11 is arranged so as to constitute an extension of the front rim 10 of the element 2.

Deux coulisseaux 15 et 16 sont attachés rigidement au profilé du rebord coulissant 11 et s'étendent dans un plan sensiblement parallèle à l'étendue de la première aile 12. Chacun des coulisseaux 15 et 16 est formé par un profilé droit, plat et cranté, disposé transversalement par rapport à l'étendue longitudinale du rebord coulissant 11.Two sliders 15 and 16 are rigidly attached to the profile of the sliding rim 11 and extend in a plane substantially parallel to the extent of the first wing 12. Each of the sliders 15 and 16 is formed by a straight, flat and notched profile, arranged transversely to the longitudinal extent of the sliding edge 11.

En variante de cette disposition, il est concevable que le rebord coulissant 11 ne soit muni que d'un seul coulisseau. Pour obtenir la même stabilité de positionnement du rebord coulissant par rapport à l'élément 2 qu'avec le mode de réalisation représenté sur la Figure 1, la largeur du coulisseau unique, mesurée dans le sens de l'étendue longitudinale du rebord coulissant 11, doit être nettement supérieure à celle d'un coulisseau 15 ou 16.As a variant of this arrangement, it is conceivable that the sliding flange 11 is provided with only one slide. To obtain the same positioning stability of the sliding rim relative to the element 2 as with the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the width of the single slider, measured in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the sliding rim 11, must be significantly higher than that of a slide 15 or 16.

Le rebord coulissant 11 est monté sur l'élément 2 au moyen de glissières 17 et 18 disposées sur une surface de l'élément 2 opposée à celle constituant la surface de rangement C de l'élément 2.The sliding rim 11 is mounted on the element 2 by means of slides 17 and 18 arranged on a surface of the element 2 opposite to that constituting the storage surface C of the element 2.

Pour obtenir un verrouillage automatique du rebord coulissant 11 par rapport à l'élément 2, deux lumières rectangulaires 19 et 20 sont pratiquées à partir de la surface de rangement C. Les lumières 19 et 20 sont disposées en alignement avec les glissières correspondantes 17 et 18. Du côté opposé, par rapport à la surface de rangement C, les bords des deux lumières 19 et 20 sont chacun munis, dans la partie parallèle au premier bord 5, d'une protubérance 21, 22, ayant la forme d'une came destinée à coopérer avec le crantage respectivement des coulisseaux 15 et 16.To obtain automatic locking of the sliding rim 11 relative to the element 2, two rectangular slots 19 and 20 are formed from the storage surface C. The slots 19 and 20 are arranged in alignment with the corresponding slides 17 and 18 On the opposite side, relative to the storage surface C, the edges of the two openings 19 and 20 are each provided, in the part parallel to the first edge 5, with a protuberance 21, 22, having the shape of a cam intended to cooperate with the notches of the slides 15 and 16 respectively.

L'élément 2 comprend également deux évidements 23 et 24 de forme générale rectangulaire. Les évidements 23 et 24 sont orientés sensiblement en parallèle au troisième bord 7 et quatrième bord 8 de l'élément 2, c'est-à-dire dans le sens de la largeur du présentoir.The element 2 also includes two recesses 23 and 24 of generally rectangular shape. The recesses 23 and 24 are oriented substantially in parallel with the third edge 7 and fourth edge 8 of the element 2, that is to say in the direction of the width of the display.

Les évidements 23 et 24 sont formés de manière telle qu'ils puissent recevoir des moyens de fixation 25 et 26 d'un séparateur amovible 27. Le séparateur amovible 27 est constitué par une cloison 28 dont la longueur correspond à celle de l'élément 2. La cloison 28 est destinée à être montée de façon amovible en épi par rapport à la surface de rangement C de l'élément 2 entre deux rangées d'objets à présenter. Pour assurer à la fois un positionnement stable, un positionnement variable en fonction de la largeur des objets à ranger et la possibilité de placer le séparateur amovible dans n'importe quelle position pour éviter toute contrainte dans le choix de l'aménagement du plan de rangement A du présentoir, les moyens de fixation 25, qui sont identiques aux moyens de fixation 26, comprennent un bras de fixation 29 attaché par une de ses extrémités, référencée en 30 (Figure 2), à une surface inférieure 31 de la cloison 28 puis transversalement par rapport à l'étendue longitudinale de celle-ci.The recesses 23 and 24 are formed in such a way that they can receive fixing means 25 and 26 of a removable separator 27. The separator removable 27 is constituted by a partition 28, the length of which corresponds to that of element 2. The partition 28 is intended to be removably mounted on the cob with respect to the storage surface C of element 2 between two rows d 'objects to present. To ensure both stable positioning, variable positioning depending on the width of the objects to be stored and the possibility of placing the removable divider in any position to avoid any constraint in the choice of arrangement of the storage plan A of the display, the fixing means 25, which are identical to the fixing means 26, comprise a fixing arm 29 attached by one of its ends, referenced 30 (Figure 2), to a lower surface 31 of the partition 28 then transversely to the longitudinal extent thereof.

L'autre extrémité du bras de fixation 29, référencée en 32, repose, au moyen d'un pontet 33, sur une tête de fixation 34 destinée à être engagée dans l'évidement 23. La tête de fixation 34 a la forme générale d'un parallélépipède dont l'étendue longitudinale est orientée transversalement par rapport à celle de la cloison 28. Pour assurer une fixation suffisamment rigide sans recours à des vis ou autres moyens de fixation, la tête de fixation 34 est munie d'une fente longitudinale 35 donnant à la tête 34 une élasticité dans le sens transversal de la tête 34.The other end of the fixing arm 29, referenced at 32, rests, by means of a bridge 33, on a fixing head 34 intended to be engaged in the recess 23. The fixing head 34 has the general shape d 'a parallelepiped whose longitudinal extent is oriented transversely to that of the partition 28. To ensure a sufficiently rigid attachment without the use of screws or other fixing means, the fixing head 34 is provided with a longitudinal slot 35 giving the head 34 an elasticity in the transverse direction of the head 34.

La longueur a du bras de fixation 29 est choisie telle que le déport entre la cloison 28, représentée par son plan de symétrie, et l'extrémité proche de la tête de fixation 34 est au moins égal à la largeur b du pont entre le premier bord 5 et le bord proche parallèle de l'évidement 23, ou respectivement 24, recevant la tête de fixation 34. Cette disposition permet de monter le séparateur amovible 27 indifféremment sur l'un ou sur l'autre de deux éléments juxtaposés, si, selon la largeur des objets à ranger, la cloison 28 venait à se situer sur, ou à proximité de, la jonction de ces deux éléments. Grâce à la symétrie de disposition des éléments de fixation 25 et 26 par rapport à l'étendue longitudinale de la cloison 28, le séparateur amovible 27 peut être monté sur l'élément 2, de façon que l'élément de fixation 25 soit fixé dans l'évidement 23 ou alternativement dans l'évidement 24. L'élément de fixation 26 est alors placé respectivement dans l'évidement 24 ou dans l'évidement 23.The length a of the fixing arm 29 is chosen such that the offset between the partition 28, represented by its plane of symmetry, and the end close to the fixing head 34 is at least equal to the width b of the bridge between the first edge 5 and the near parallel edge of the recess 23, or respectively 24, receiving the fixing head 34. This arrangement makes it possible to mount the removable separator 27 either on one or the other of two juxtaposed elements, if, depending on the width of the objects to be stored, the partition 28 came to be located on, or close to, the junction of these two elements. Thanks to the symmetry of arrangement of the fixing elements 25 and 26 with respect to the longitudinal extent of the partition 28, the removable separator 27 can be mounted on the element 2, so that the fixing element 25 is fixed in the recess 23 or alternatively in the recess 24. The fixing element 26 is then placed respectively in the recess 24 or in the recess 23.

De manière générale, les cloisons 28 ont une hauteur h de l'ordre de 20 à 30 mm. Cette hauteur est suffisante pour la plupart des objets à ranger sur le présentoir.In general, the partitions 28 have a height h of the order of 20 to 30 mm. This height is sufficient for most objects to be stored on the display.

Il est cependant concevable que les objets d'une rangée doivent être rangés non seulement les uns derrières les autres mais aussi les uns sur les autres. Un tel rangement pourrait être intéressant par exemple pour des boîtes de faible dimension ou pour des objets allongés comme par exemple des crayons.It is however conceivable that the objects of a row should be arranged not only one behind the other but also one on the other. Such storage could be useful, for example for small boxes or for elongated objects such as pencils.

Il est également concevable que les objets à ranger ont une forme très allongée et sont légers, ce qui rend difficile de les maintenir verticalement droit s'il sont tenus seulement par leur base.It is also conceivable that the objects to be stored have a very elongated shape and are light, which makes it difficult to keep them vertically straight if they are held only by their base.

Pour faciliter le rangement d'objets répondant aux critères énoncés ci-avant, la cloison peut être surélevée. Les Figures 3 et 4 montrent le principe d'une telle cloison surélevée 40.To facilitate the storage of objects meeting the criteria set out above, the partition can be raised. Figures 3 and 4 show the principle of such a raised partition 40.

La cloison surélevée 40 comprend une cloison 41 destinée à être montée sur un élément du présentoir au moyen d'une patte de fixation 42 et correspondant ainsi approximativement à la cloison 28 décrite plus haut. De plus, la cloison 40 comprend une rallonge 43 de forme générale plate et allongée. La rallonge 43 est destinée à être disposée dans le même plan que la cloison 41.The raised partition 40 comprises a partition 41 intended to be mounted on an element of the display by means of a fixing lug 42 and thus corresponding approximately to the partition 28 described above. In addition, the partition 40 includes an extension 43 of generally flat and elongated shape. The extension 43 is intended to be arranged in the same plane as the partition 41.

La rallonge 43 a une longueur approximativement comparable à celle de la cloison 41 et a une hauteur H. La hauteur H est choisie en fonction des produits à ranger. De préférence, elle est de l'ordre de 80 à 150 mm. Pour plus de flexibilité, lors de l'aménagement du présentoir, la rallonge 43 peut être sectionnée le long des lignes de sectionnement 44 prévues à cet effet.The extension 43 has a length approximately comparable to that of the partition 41 and has a height H. The height H is chosen according to the products to be stored. Preferably, it is of the order of 80 to 150 mm. For more flexibility, during the arrangement of the display, the extension 43 can be sectioned along the sectioning lines 44 provided for this purpose.

Pour obtenir une fixation stable et à la fois simple, de la rallonge 43 sur la cloison 41, la partie supérieure de la cloison 41 peut être réalisée avec des gorges 45 et 46 pratiquées à une distance du bord supérieur de la cloison 41 et en parallèle à celui-ci.To obtain a stable and at the same time simple fixing of the extension 43 on the partition 41, the upper part of the partition 41 can be produced with grooves 45 and 46 formed at a distance from the upper edge of the partition 41 and in parallel to this one.

En contrepartie, la rallonge 43 est formée le long du bord destiné à être en regard de la cloison 41, de façon à présenter des crochets 47 et 48 orientés respectivement dans un sens transversal et dans l'autre par rapport à l'étendue longitudinale de la rallonge 43. Les crochets 47 et 48 ont une forme conjuguée par rapport à celle de la partie supérieure de la cloison 41. Ainsi, la rallonge 43 est fixée sur la cloison 41 par clipsage intervenant alternativement dans l'une et dans l'autre des deux gorges 45 et 46.In return, the extension 43 is formed along the edge intended to be opposite the partition 41, so as to have hooks 47 and 48 oriented respectively in a transverse direction and in the other relative to the longitudinal extent of the extension 43. The hooks 47 and 48 have a conjugate shape with respect to that of the upper part of the partition 41. Thus, the extension 43 is fixed to the partition 41 by clipping intervening alternately in one and in the other of the two gorges 45 and 46.

La rallonge 43 est représentée sur la Figure 3 avec des lumières 51 de formes différentes et avec une face avant 52 en biseau. Il est bien entendu que la rallonge 43 peut être réalisée sans lumières et avec une face avant droite, c'est-à-dire non biseautée.The extension 43 is shown in Figure 3 with lights 51 of different shapes and with a front face 52 at a bevel. It is understood that the extension 43 can be produced without lights and with a straight front face, that is to say not beveled.

La patte de fixation 42 correspond dans son principe de conception aux moyens de fixation 25 et 26 décrits plus haut et représentés sur la Figure 2. La patte de fixation 42 constitue cependant une variante des moyens de fixation 25 et 26 en ce que la tête de fixation est remplacée par un crochet 49. Le crochet 49 a une flexibilité correspondante à celle de la tête de fixation 34 décrite plus haut et permet la fixation de la cloison surélevée 40 dans des évidements 23 ou 24 de l'élément 2 du présentoir décrit plus haut.The fixing lug 42 corresponds in its design principle to the fixing means 25 and 26 described above and shown in Figure 2. The fixing lug 42 however constitutes a variant of the fixing means 25 and 26 in that the head fixing is replaced by a hook 49. The hook 49 has a flexibility corresponding to that of the fixing head 34 described above and allows the fixing of the raised partition 40 in recesses 23 or 24 of the element 2 of the display unit described more high.

Il est bien entendu que la cloison 41, munie d'une ou de plusieurs pattes de fixation 42, peut constituer à elle seule un séparateur pour le présentoir de l'invention. Ainsi, la rallonge 43 peut être considérée comme un accessoire pour un tel séparateur.It is understood that the partition 41, provided with one or more fixing lugs 42, can in itself constitute a separator for the display of the invention. Thus, the extension 43 can be considered as an accessory for such a separator.

Les Figures 5A et 5B représentent une pièce de calage 60, ou cale, comme un autre accessoire pour un séparateur du présentoir de l'invention. La pièce de calage 60 comprend une partie plate et allongée 61 de forme générale rectangulaire munie sur une de ses grandes surfaces de crochets 62 disposés en épi par rapport à cette surface. Les crochets 62 sont orientés, de préférence, alternativement dans un sens transversal et dans l'autre par rapport à l'étendue longitudinale de la pièce de calage 60, de manière à permettre une fixation de la pièce de calage 60 sur une cloison 41 par clipsage. La pièce de calage 60 étant montée sur la cloison 41, ces deux pièces formant ensemble un séparateur ayant une section transversale en T.Figures 5A and 5B show a wedging piece 60, or wedge, as another accessory for a separator of the display of the invention. The wedging piece 60 comprises a flat and elongated part 61 of generally rectangular shape provided on one of its large surfaces with hooks 62 arranged in a spike with respect to this surface.

La Figure 6 montre encore un autre accessoire pour le présentoir de l'invention. Il s'agit d'un support 70 muni d'un poussoir 71 à ressort. Le support 70 est muni, à une de ses deux extrémités, d'éléments sécables 72 permettant la fixation du support 70 au troisième bord 7 d'un élément 2 du présentoir. Le support 70 comporte, par ailleurs, des cassures 73 et 74 permettant un sectionnement du support 70. En outre, le support 70 est muni de profilés de fixation 75 et 76 de forme générale allongée disposés transversalement par rapport à l'étendue longitudinale du support 70. Les profilés de fixation 75 et 76 permettent une fixation du support 70 dans les évidements 23 et 24 d'un élément 2. Les profilés de fixation 75 et 76 peuvent être munis de têtes de fixation ou de crochets, de façon correspondante à celles représentées respectivement sur les Figures 2 et 4.Figure 6 shows yet another accessory for the display of the invention. It is a support 70 provided with a spring plunger 71. The support 70 is provided, at one of its two ends, with breakable elements 72 allowing the fixing of the support 70 to the third edge 7 of an element 2 of the display. The support 70 furthermore has breaks 73 and 74 allowing the support 70 to be cut off. In addition, the support 70 is provided with fixing profiles 75 and 76 of generally elongated shape arranged transversely to the longitudinal extent of the support. 70. The fixing profiles 75 and 76 allow the support 70 to be fixed in the recesses 23 and 24 of an element 2. The fixing profiles 75 and 76 can be provided with fixing heads or hooks, corresponding to those shown in Figures 2 and 4 respectively.

En variante des façades 9 décrites plus haut, destinées à porter des informations concernant les objets rangés sur le présentoir, l'élément 2 du présentoir peut être muni de tablettes pivotantes 81 ou de tablettes coulissantes 82, représentées respectivement sur les Figures 7 et 8. Les tablettes coulissantes et les tablettes pivotantes peuvent avoir toute dimension appropriée. Plus particulièrement, ces tablettes peuvent avoir une largeur inférieure à celle d'un élément 2, ou au contraire, avoir une largeur telle qu'elles enjambent au moins partiellement deux ou plusieurs éléments du présentoir.As a variant of the facades 9 described above, intended to carry information concerning the objects stored on the display, the element 2 of the display can be provided with pivoting shelves 81 or sliding shelves 82, shown respectively in FIGS. 7 and 8. The tablets sliding and swivel shelves can be of any suitable size. More particularly, these shelves may have a width less than that of an element 2, or on the contrary, have a width such that they at least partially cross two or more elements of the display.

La Figure 9 montre un autre accessoire du présentoir de l'invention. Il s'agit d'une balise 90 plate et de forme générale rectangulaire. La balise 90 est munie d'un bras 91 formé de manière à pouvoir être fixé par clipsage sur une cloison 41 décrite plus haut. Plus particulièrement, le bras 91 est disposé dans le même plan que celui de l'étendue de la balise 90 et orienté de façon que cette dernière dépasse le présentoir au-delà du bord avant 7 ou au-delà de la façade 9. La fixation de la balise 90 au moyen du bras 91 correspond de préférence au principe de fixation de la rallonge 43 décrite plus haut en référence à la Figure 4.Figure 9 shows another accessory of the display of the invention. It is a beacon 90 flat and generally rectangular in shape. The beacon 90 is provided with an arm 91 formed so as to be able to be fixed by clipping on a partition 41 described above. More particularly, the arm 91 is arranged in the same plane as that of the extent of the tag 90 and oriented so that the latter exceeds the display beyond the front edge 7 or beyond the facade 9. The attachment of the beacon 90 by means of the arm 91 preferably corresponds to the principle of fixing the extension 43 described above with reference to FIG. 4.

La balise permet la mise en place de messages interchangeables, soit par application d'étiquettes auto-collantes ou adhésives, soit par insertion d'étiquettes cartonnées lorsque la balise est réalisée avec un cadre à cet effet.The tag allows the installation of interchangeable messages, either by applying self-adhesive or adhesive labels, or by inserting cardboard labels when the tag is made with a frame for this purpose.

La Figure 10 montre, de façon très schématisée, un présentoir selon l'invention comprenant une pluralité d'éléments 2, un rebord coulissant 11 et un autre rebord coulissant 36. Pour simplifier cette Figure, les séparateurs amovibles 27 ne sont pas représentés.Figure 10 shows, very schematically, a display unit according to the invention comprising a plurality of elements 2, a sliding rim 11 and another sliding rim 36. To simplify this Figure, the removable dividers 27 are not shown.

Pour des raisons pratiques de l'utilisation, les éléments 2 du présentoir représenté peuvent être fabriqués sous forme d'ensembles E, chaque ensemble E comportant six éléments 2. Les ensembles E sont alors moulés en une seule pièce et comportent des zones sécables 37 permettant une séparation facile d'un élément 2 de l'ensemble E. Le présentoir comprend quatre ensembles E. Le cinquième ensemble, référencé F, a été obtenu en enlevant deux éléments 2 d'un ensemble E. Pour régler la largeur du présentoir précisément à la valeur nécessaire en fonction des dimensions des objets à ranger et de la place que la quantité de séparateurs amovibles nécessaires occupe, les rebords coulissants 11 et 36 sont mis en position respectivement par rapport à l'élément 2 correspondant sur lequel ils sont montés.For practical reasons of use, the elements 2 of the display unit shown can be manufactured in the form of sets E, each set E comprising six elements 2. The sets E are then molded in one piece and have breakable zones 37 allowing easy separation of an element 2 from the assembly E. The display unit comprises four assemblies E. The fifth assembly, referenced F, was obtained by removing two elements 2 from a set E. To adjust the width of the display precisely to the value required depending on the dimensions of the objects to be stored and the space that the quantity of removable separators required occupies, the sliding edges 11 and 36 are placed in position respectively with respect to the corresponding element 2 on which they are mounted.

L'attachement des différents ensembles E et F est réalisé par des queues d'aronde dont le premier bord 5 et le deuxième bord 6 des éléments 2 correspondants sont munis. Selon les dispositions représentées sur les Figures 1 et 10, chaque élément 2 est muni de deux queues d'aronde mâles 38 disposées sur le deuxième bord 6 de l'élément et de deux queues d'aronde femelles 39 disposées sur le premier bord 5 de l'élément. Les queues d'aronde mâles 38, et femelles 39 sont respectivement disposées sur le premier bord 5 et le deuxième bord 6 de l'élément 2 de façon que les queues d'aronde 38 mâles coopèrent avec les queues d'aronde femelles 39 lors de l'assemblage de deux éléments 2.The attachment of the different assemblies E and F is carried out by dovetails with which the first edge 5 and the second edge 6 of the corresponding elements 2 are provided. According to the arrangements shown in Figures 1 and 10, each element 2 is provided with two male dovetails 38 arranged on the second edge 6 of the element and two female dovetails 39 arranged on the first edge 5 of the item. The male 38 and female dovetails 39 are respectively disposed on the first edge 5 and the second edge 6 of the element 2 so that the male dovetails 38 cooperate with the female dovetails 39 during the assembly of two elements 2.

Il est bien entendu que le nombre de queues d'aronde disposées sur les bords 5, 6 de l'élément 2 peut être varié en fonction de la longueur de l'élément 2 et des conditions d'utilisation du présentoir. Il est également concevable que le premier bord 5 et le deuxième bord 6 sont munis à la fois de queues d'aronde mâles 38 et de queues d'aronde femelles 39. Dans cette configuration, le type de chacune des queues d'aronde mâles 38 et femelles 39 disposées sur le premier bord 5 doit être complémentaire du type des queues d'aronde situées de manière correspondante sur le deuxième bord 6.It is understood that the number of dovetails arranged on the edges 5, 6 of the element 2 can be varied depending on the length of the element 2 and the conditions of use of the display. It is also conceivable that the first edge 5 and the second edge 6 are provided with both male dovetails 38 and female dovetails 39. In this configuration, the type of each of the male dovetails 38 and females 39 arranged on the first edge 5 must be complementary to the type of dovetails correspondingly located on the second edge 6.

En général, les queues d'aronde sont formées solidairement dans et sur les bords 5 et 6 de l'élément 2. Il est, cependant, concevable d'utiliser des pièces 381 (voir Figure 1A) de forme générale d'une queue d'aronde double destinées à être insérées dans des logements appropriés prévus dans les bords 5 et 6. La forme de ces logements correspond à celle des queues d'aronde femelles 39.In general, the dovetails are formed integrally in and on the edges 5 and 6 of the element 2. It is, however, conceivable to use parts 381 (see Figure 1A) of general shape of a tail d double dovetail intended to be inserted in suitable housings provided in the edges 5 and 6. The shape of these housings corresponds to that of the female dovetails 39.

Dans une variante (non représentée) du mode de réalisation montré sur la Figure 10, le présentoir ne comprend qu'un seul coulissant, soit 11 ou 36. L'autre coulissant est remplacé par un élément correspondant uniquement à l'aile 13 décrite plus haut. Cet élément est muni de queues d'aronde mâle 38 ou femelle 39 afin de pouvoir être fixé sur le bord correspondant 5 ou 6 d'un élément 2.In a variant (not shown) of the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the display unit comprises only one slide, either 11 or 36. The other slide is replaced by an element corresponding only to the wing 13 described more high. This element is provided with male 38 or female 39 dovetails so that it can be fixed to the corresponding edge 5 or 6 of an element 2.

Les signes de référence insérés après les. caractéristiques techniques mentionnées dans les revendications, ont pour seul but de faciliter la compréhension de ces dernières, et n'en limitent aucunement la portée.The reference signs inserted after the. technical features mentioned in the claims, have the sole purpose of facilitating the understanding of the latter, and in no way limit their scope.
