Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for holding a cassette, which preferably conveys price information via a display surface.
  • Such a device for holding billboards has become known from EP 0 093 107 B1.
  • the device described in this patent serves to fasten the billboard to a lattice structure, for example a shopping cart.
  • the fastening device consists of a tubular holder and two hooks which are movably arranged on this holder and are resiliently mounted against one another. In use, the two hooks are hooked onto two parallel bars in an upright position.
  • the billboard itself is inserted into the upper open end of the tubular holder via a peg-shaped projection.
  • the known holder fulfills its purpose excellently, as long as, for example, the floor on which the shopping cart is standing is flat or as long as the selected lattice construction and the holder only have a component parallel to gravity.
  • the display area of the information panel is no longer parallel to gravity is aligned, that is, the display area is arranged outside the optimal plane lying perpendicular to the viewing direction of an observer, the information transmission intended for the customers is considerably impaired.
  • the invention has for its object to propose a device which is designed such that the display surface of a cassette or an information board is always arranged in an optimal, substantially perpendicular direction to the direction of view of an observer.
  • the device consists of a load-bearing element, an adapter and an elongate connecting element, the adapter being connectable to the load-bearing element, with a part on the adapter for receiving a corresponding part which is in at least one of the two End regions of the elongated connecting element is arranged, is provided, and wherein the two corresponding parts of the adapter and connecting element are designed such that the elongated connecting element is pivotally mounted on the adapter, so that the cassette, as soon as it is attached to the device, regardless of the respective position of the supporting element is aligned substantially parallel to gravity.
  • the load-bearing element is a stand.
  • the adapter consists of a tubular lower part for attachment to the supporting element and a substantially rectangular upper part which is attached centrally to the tubular part.
  • the rectangular part has in at least one of its four side areas the part for receiving the corresponding part of the connecting element.
  • the supporting element is a clamp.
  • the adapter advantageously consists of an essentially elongated part. At least one of the two end regions of the elongated part has the part for receiving the corresponding part of the connecting element.
  • a fastening mechanism is provided on the adapter, via which the latter is preferably detachably connected to the supporting element.
  • the fastening mechanism is in particular designed such that the adapter can be arranged in different angular positions with respect to the supporting element.
  • the fastening mechanism consists of two collapsible tabs arranged in parallel, which are provided on one of the upper sides of the adapter, and of a preferably rectangular opening in the upper side of the supporting element; the tabs have latching edges in the lower area, in which the edges of the rectangular opening of the load-bearing element engage when in use.
  • an alternative variant proposes that the fastening mechanism consists of a spring and locking elements defining predetermined locking positions, the respective locking position being released by compressing the spring and the adapter being pivotable with respect to the supporting element into a further locking position. While in the second alternative two locking positions parallel to the longitudinal orientation of the adapter are preferably possible, the first variant opens up the possibility of the adapter and thus the cassette in at least four at right angles to lock each other arranged locking positions. This makes it easily possible to attach the load-bearing element to any object and still always achieve the optimal vertical viewing direction of the observer on the display surface of the cassette.
  • the end region of the connecting element which effects the direct coupling to the cassette, is designed as a tongue which engages in corresponding webs which are provided on the back of the cassette.
  • the end region of the connecting element which effects the oscillating mounting on the adapter, is designed as a sleeve-shaped part which at least partially encompasses the corresponding, cylindrical part of the connecting element. Due to its flexibility, the sleeve-shaped part, which is preferably made of plastic, can be easily detached from the cylindrical part or plugged onto the cylindrical part.
  • the adapter 4 consists of a tubular part 9 and a rectangular part 10 rigidly or detachably connected to the tubular part 9.
  • the rectangular part 10 has parts 6 in the region of its edges, which - as shown by the arrow - into the complementarily shaped receiving part 7 of the adapter 4 can be clipped.
  • the part of the adapter 4 opposite the receiving part 7 is designed as a tongue 14 which engages in webs 15 on the back of the cassette 1 (or panel).
  • Such a cassette attachment, consisting of tongue and webs has already become known from German utility model G 93 00 474. The content of this utility model is hereby expressly included in the disclosure content of the device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in the state of use: the cassette 1 is connected to the adapter 4 and the supporting element 3 via the connecting element 5.
  • the adapter 4 in the present case is designed such that it can accommodate two cassettes 1 at the same time.
  • the orientation of the display surface 2 or the center of gravity of the cassette 1 parallel to the force of gravity in any case - also in the case that the supporting element 3 is, for example, on an inclined surface - ensures that the information conveyed via the display surface is optimal in the field of vision of a viewer.
  • FIG. 3a shows a top view of the connecting element 3 according to FIG. 1; 3b shows a side view of the connecting element 5.
  • the part 7 is provided for receiving the corresponding part 6 of the adapter 4.
  • the lower region of the connecting element 5 is designed as a tongue 14 which, as already mentioned, is inserted into webs 14 on the back of the cassette 1.
  • FIG. 4a shows a cross section through the adapter 4, which is shown in Fig. 1.
  • FIGS. 4b and 4c show a top view of the rectangular part 10 of the adapter 4 from the top (identification C-C) and from the bottom (D-D).
  • the load-bearing element 3 is designed as a clamp 11, which - as shown in FIG. 6 - can be clamped excellently on the edges of any objects (eg boxes 28).
  • the clamp 11 consists of two side parts 29 with clamping surfaces 25 in the lower area. Both side parts 29 are connected to one another by a screw 26. The clamping surfaces 25 are pressed together by a clamping spring 27.
  • the adapter 4 is attached rigidly or releasably to one of the two side parts 29.
  • the adapter 4 is preferably an elongated part 12 with receiving parts 6 in both end regions.
  • the part 7 of the connecting part 5 can be clipped into each of the two receiving parts 6 of the adapter 4.
  • the display surface 2 or the center of gravity of the cassette 1 - regardless of the angular inclination of the clamp 11 - is always automatically aligned parallel to the acting gravity.
  • FIG. 7a shows a side view of the embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in the two previous figures.
  • the fastening mechanism 13 between the adapter 4 and the load-bearing element 3 here: the clamp 11
  • Located on the adapter 4 in one of the two end regions are two compressible tabs 18 which are designed to match the preferably square opening 19 of one of the two side parts 29.
  • the locking edges 20 of the tabs 18 (see in particular the cross section of FIG. 8d) snap into the edges 21 of the opening 19 in the state of use and thus create an intimate cohesion between the adapter 4 and the terminal 11.
  • the tabs 18 are attached in one of the two end regions of the adapter 4.
  • This design is to be regarded as particularly advantageous since the adapter 4 and thus the cassette 1 can be positioned at two different heights with respect to the clamp 11.
  • the proposed embodiment also allows the adapter 4 and thus the cassette 1 to be arranged at right angles to the terminal 11 (FIG. 9b), which considerably extends the possible uses of the device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which the adapter 4 and the terminal 11 are designed as an inseparable unit.
  • the adjustment takes place here by briefly moving the two parts (4, 11) apart while pressing the button 24, which is fastened to the adapter 4 via a pin 30 and a spring 22.
  • the spring 22 presses the side part 29 of the clamp 11 firmly against the adapter 4, the rigid connection being ensured by latching elements 23 on the side part 29 and adapter 4.
  • the button 24 is pressed against the side part 29 of the clamp 11.
  • the adapter 4 can be easily rotated relative to the side part 29 of the clamp 11.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for adjusting the height parallel to the side part 29 of the clamp 11.
