Description

DISPOSITIF DE PRESENTATION D'INFORMATIONS METTANT EN OEUVRE UNE NAPPE DE MATERIAU ENROULEE INFORMATION PRESENTATION DEVICE USING A ROPE OF MATERIAL WOUND
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de présentation d'informations, du type comprenant, d'une part, une nappe de matériau enroulée sur un tambour porté par un socle et, d'autre part, un mat démontable destiné à être érigé au dessus de ce socle pour maintenir la nappe en tension entre le tambour et un point présenté par le mât à distance du socle, tel son extrémité supérieure.The invention relates to an information presentation device, of the type comprising, on the one hand, a sheet of material wound on a drum carried by a base and, on the other hand, a removable mat intended to be erected at the above this base to maintain the tablecloth in tension between the drum and a point presented by the mast at a distance from the base, such as its upper end.
Par nappe de matériau enroulée sur un tambour, on désigne aussi bien un support d'informations, qu'un écran permettant l'écriture.The term “sheet of material wound on a drum” denotes both an information medium and a screen allowing writing.
Par mât démontable, on désigne aussi bien un mât constitué d'éléments télescopiques-, qu'un mât constitué d'éléments qui peuvent être assemblés bout à bout.By removable mast is meant both a mast made of telescopic elements, and a mast made up of elements which can be assembled end to end.
Un tel dispositif de présentation est destiné à être transporté d'un site de présentation d'informations à un autre.Such a presentation device is intended to be transported from one information presentation site to another.
Outre qu'il doit être léger et robuste, c'est à dire à même de supporter les aléas du transport, tels le choc, ou d'être démonté puis remonté à maintes reprises sans défaillir, un tel dispositif doit être pratique, c'est à dire que son montage et son démontage ne doivent contraindre l'opérateur qu'à un nombre de manipulations aussi réduit que possible.In addition to being light and robust, that is to say able to withstand the vagaries of transport, such as shock, or to be dismantled and reassembled repeatedly without failing, such a device must be practical, it In other words, its assembly and disassembly should only constrain the operator to as few manipulations as possible.
Un résultat que le dispositif de l'invention vise à obtenir est précisément un dispositif qui concilie légèreté, et robustesse et, de surcroît, est pratique.One result which the device of the invention aims to obtain is precisely a device which reconciles lightness, and robustness and, moreover, is practical.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de présentation d'informations du type comprenant, d'une part, une nappe de matériau enroulée sur un tambour, au moins indirectement porté par un socle et, d'autre part, un mât démontable destiné à être érigé au dessus de ce socle pour maintenir la nappe en tension entre le tambour et un point présenté par le mât à distance du socle, tel son extrémité supérieure, le tambour étant abrité dans un coffre et, d'une part, guidé en rotation autour de son axe longitudinal par rapport au socle et, d'autre part, élastiquement sollicité par un moyen à cet effet, dans un sens de rotation déterminé, de manière à solliciter la nappe en traction en vue de son enroulement dans le coffre à travers une découpe longitudinale qu'elle traverse pour pouvoir être étendue, laquelle nappe, outre une rive, dite inférieure, au moins indirectement retenue sur le tambour, comprend une rive opposée, dite supérieure, au long de laquelle s'étend une pièce longiligne rigide, telle une barre qui, notamment rectiligne et de section transversale déterminée, est destinée à être transversalement associée au mât, notamment en un point dit de suspension, de manière à permettre la mise en tension de la nappe entre ce point et le tambour, le mât étant quant à lui du type démontable, c'est à dire qu'à l'état démonté, il comprend au moins un élément qui présente une longueur égale à une fraction de la hauteur dudit mât à l'état érigé, ce dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que :To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for presenting information of the type comprising, on the one hand, a sheet of material wound on a drum, at least indirectly carried by a base and, on the other hand, a removable mast intended to be erected above this base to keep the tablecloth in tension between the drum and a point presented by the mast at a distance from the base, such as its upper end, the drum being housed in a trunk and, on the one hand, guided in rotation about its longitudinal axis with respect to the base and, on the other hand, resiliently urged by means for this purpose, in a determined direction of rotation, so as to urge the ply in tension for its winding in the trunk through a longitudinal cut which it crosses in order to be able to be extended, which ply, in addition to a bank, said to be lower, at least indirectly retained on the drum, comprises a bank opposite, called upper, along which extends a rigid elongate piece, such as a bar which, in particular rectilinear and of determined cross section, is intended to be transversely associated with the mast, in particular at a so-called point of suspension, so as to allow the tablecloth to be tensioned between this point and the drum, the mast being of the removable type, that is to say that in the disassembled state, it comprises at least one element t which has a length equal to a fraction of the height of said mast in the erected state, this device being characterized in that:
- le coffre porte un moyen en vue du logement d'au moins un élément de mât, ce moyen de logement présente une ouverture de chargement et de déchargement des éléments de mât, laquelle ouverture est de section sensiblement supérieure à celle d'un élément de mât selon un plan longitudinal, de manière à permettre le passage d'un tel élément de mât, et- The trunk carries a means for housing at least one mast element, this housing means has an opening for loading and unloading of the mast elements, which opening is of section substantially greater than that of an element of mast in a longitudinal plane, so as to allow the passage of such a mast element, and
- le moyen de logement est disposé par rapport au coffre, de manière telle que, d'une part, son ouverture jouxte la découpe de passage de la nappe et que, d'autre part, la pièce longiligne rigide associée à la rive supérieure de ladite nappe vienne, en position enroulée de ladite nappe, obturer au moins partiellement l'ouverture du moyen de logement, interdisant alors le déchargement des éléments de mât qu'il contient.- The housing means is arranged relative to the trunk, so that, on the one hand, its opening adjoins the cutout for passage of the sheet and that, on the other hand, the rigid elongated part associated with the upper bank of said ply comes, in the rolled position of said ply, at least partially closing the opening of the housing means, thus preventing the unloading of the mast elements which it contains.
L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci-après faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard du dessin annexé qui représente : - figures 1 à 3 : des vues en perspective d'un dispositif en cours d'installation,The invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description below given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended drawing which represents: - Figures 1 to 3: perspective views of a device being installed,
- figure 4 : une vue en coupe transversale d'un dispositif selon l'invention, - figure 5 : une vue de dessus partiellement arrachée d'un dispositif selon l'invention.- Figure 4: a cross-sectional view of a device according to the invention, - Figure 5: a partially cutaway top view of a device according to the invention.
En se reportant au dessin, on voit un dispositif 1 de présentation d'informations (non représentées), du type comprenant, d'une part, une nappe 2 de matériau enroulée sur un tambour 3 au moins indirectement porté par un socle 4 et, d'autre part, un mât 5 démontable destiné à être érigé au dessus de ce socle 4 pour maintenir la nappe 2 en tension entre le tambour 3 et un point 5A présenté par le mât 5 à distance du socle 4, tel son extrémité supérieure 5A. Le socle 4 est destiné à l'appui du dispositif sur un support S, tel le sol S.Referring to the drawing, we see a device 1 for presenting information (not shown), of the type comprising, on the one hand, a sheet 2 of material wound on a drum 3 at least indirectly carried by a base 4 and, on the other hand, a removable mast 5 intended to be erected above this base 4 to keep the sheet 2 in tension between the drum 3 and a point 5A presented by the mast 5 at a distance from the base 4, such as its upper end 5A . The base 4 is intended to support the device on a support S, such as the ground S.
Bien que cela n'apparaisse pas de manière flagrante au dessin, la nappe de matériau 2 enroulée sur un tambour 3 consiste, par exemple, en un écran permettant l'écriture. Le tambour 3 est abrité dans un coffre 6 et, d'une part, guidé en rotation autour de son axe longitudinal 3A par rapport au socle 4 et, d'autre part, élastiquement sollicité par un moyen 3B à cet effet, dans un sens de rotation déterminé, de manière à solliciter la nappe 2 en traction en vue de son enroulement dans le coffre 6 à travers une découpe 7 longitudinale qu'elle traverse pour pouvoir être étendue.Although this is not obvious in the drawing, the sheet of material 2 wound on a drum 3 consists, for example, of a screen allowing writing. The drum 3 is housed in a trunk 6 and, on the one hand, guided in rotation about its longitudinal axis 3A relative to the base 4 and, on the other hand, elastically stressed by a means 3B for this purpose, in one direction of determined rotation, so as to urge the ply 2 in tension for its winding in the trunk 6 through a longitudinal cutout 7 which it crosses in order to be able to be extended.
Le coffre 6 est défini par une paroi 6A qui, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, est tubulaire de révolution. Outre une rive 2A dite inférieure, au moins indirectement retenue sur le tambour 3, la nappe 2 comprend une rive opposée 2B dite supérieure, au long de laquelle s'étend une pièce 8 longiligne rigide, telle une barre qui, notamment rectiligne et de section transversale déterminée, est destinée à être transversalement associée au mât 5, notamment en un point 5A dit de suspension, de manière à permettre la mise en tension de la nappe 2 entre ce point 5A et le tambour 3. En position enroulée de la nappe 2, la pièce 8 longiligne associée à sa rive supérieure 2B prend appui contre la paroi du coffre 6, au moins au niveau de la découpe longitudinale que traverse la nappe 2. Le mât 5 est du type démontable, c'est à dire qu'à l'état démonté, il comprend au moins un élément 5B qui présente une longueur L égale à une fraction de la hauteur H dudit mât 5 à l'état érigé.The trunk 6 is defined by a wall 6A which, in the embodiment shown, is tubular of revolution. In addition to a bank 2A said to be lower, at least indirectly retained on the drum 3, the ply 2 comprises an opposite bank 2B known as upper, along which extends a rigid elongate piece 8, such as a bar which, in particular rectilinear and of section determined transverse, is intended to be transversely associated with the mast 5, in particular at a point 5A known as of suspension, so as to allow the ply 2 to be tensioned between this point 5A and the drum 3. In the wound position of the ply 2, the elongate part 8 associated with its upper edge 2B bears against the wall of the trunk 6, at least at the level of the longitudinal cut through which the ply 2 passes. The mast 5 is of the removable type, c 'is to say that in the disassembled state, it comprises at least one element 5B which has a length L equal to a fraction of the height H of said mast 5 in the erected state.
De manière remarquable : - le coffre 6 porte un moyen 9 en vue du logement d'au moins un élément 5B de mât 5,Remarkably: the trunk 6 carries a means 9 for housing at least one mast element 5B 5,
- ce moyen 9 de logement présente une ouverture 10 de chargement et de déchargement des éléments 5B de mât, laquelle ouverture 10 est de section sensiblement supérieure à celle d'un élément 5A de mât selon un plan longitudinal, de manière à permettre le passage d'un tel élément 5A de mât 5,- This housing means 9 has an opening 10 for loading and unloading of the mast elements 5B, which opening 10 is of section substantially greater than that of a mast element 5A in a longitudinal plane, so as to allow the passage of 'such an element 5A of mast 5,
- le moyen 9 de logement est disposé par rapport au coffre 6 de manière telle que, d'une part, son ouverture 10 jouxte la découpe 7 de passage de la nappe 2 et que, d'autre part, la pièce 8 longiligne rigide associée à la rive supérieure de ladite nappe 2 vienne, en position enroulée de ladite nappe 2, obturer au moins partiellement l'ouverture 10 du moyen de logement, interdisant alors le déchargement des éléments 5A de mât 5 qu'il contient. La présence de ces particularités techniques sur un dispositif de présentation d'informations du type comprenant, d'une part, une nappe de matériau enroulée sur un tambour porté par un socle et, d'autre part, un mât démontable destiné à être érigé au dessus de ce socle pour maintenir la nappe en tension, permettent de le rendre spécialement pratique. De manière encore remarquable :- The housing means 9 is disposed relative to the trunk 6 so that, on the one hand, its opening 10 adjoins the cutout 7 for passage of the sheet 2 and that, on the other hand, the associated rigid longilinear piece 8 at the upper edge of said ply 2 comes, in the rolled position of said ply 2, at least partially close the opening 10 of the housing means, thus preventing the unloading of the mast elements 5A 5 which it contains. The presence of these technical features on an information presentation device of the type comprising, on the one hand, a sheet of material wound on a drum carried by a base and, on the other hand, a removable mast intended to be erected at the above this base to keep the tablecloth in tension, make it especially practical. Still remarkably:
- le coffre 6 comprend une dépression 11 à même de loger la pièce 8 longiligne sur toute sa longueur, laquelle dépression est ouverte dans la paroi du coffre et abrite la découpe 7 de passage de la nappe 2,the trunk 6 comprises a depression 11 capable of accommodating the elongated part 8 over its entire length, which depression is open in the wall of the trunk and houses the cutout 7 for passage of the ply 2,
- le moyen 9 de logement est situé à l'intérieur du coffre 6 et communique avec la dépression 11 par l'ouverture 10 qu'il comprend. Par cela, le moyen 9 de logement ne constitue aucune saillie externe sur la paroi du coffre 6.- The housing means 9 is located inside the trunk 6 and communicates with the depression 11 through the opening 10 which it comprises. By this, the housing means 9 does not constitute any external projection on the wall of the trunk 6.
L'aspect extérieur du coffre est donc indépendant de la présence du moyen 9 de logement du ou des éléments de mâts. De manière préférentielle et remarquable, la paroi 6A du coffre 6 derrière laquelle est abrité le moyen 9 de logement présente, transversalement audit moyen 9, une découpe 12 en vue de l'accès digital aux éléments 5A de mât qui s'y trouvent. Cette caractéristique permet que les éléments de mâts puissent être déplacés vers l'ouverture 10 de chargement- déchargement pour être extraits du moyen 9 de logement sans qu'il y ait lieu de basculer le coffre 6 en vue de les déplacer par gravité. De préférence, la découpe 12 est raccordée à l'ouverture de chargement-déchargement.The external appearance of the trunk is therefore independent of the presence of the means 9 for housing the mast element or elements. Preferably and remarkably, the wall 6A of the trunk 6 behind which is housed the housing means 9 has, transversely to said means 9, a cutout 12 for digital access to the mast elements 5A therein. This characteristic allows the mast elements to be able to be moved towards the loading-unloading opening 10 in order to be extracted from the housing means 9 without there being any need to tilt the boot 6 in order to move them by gravity. Preferably, the blank 12 is connected to the loading-unloading opening.
De manière préférentielle, le coffre 6 présente au moins deux faces extrêmes 13, 14 chacune disposée dans un plan approximativement vertical et incliné par rapport à l'axe du tambour, afin de permettre la juxtaposition de coffres 6 à la manière de pièces coupées en onglet.Preferably, the box 6 has at least two end faces 13, 14 each arranged in an approximately vertical plane and inclined relative to the axis of the drum, in order to allow the juxtaposition of boxes 6 in the manner of parts cut in miter .
Par cela, plusieurs dispositifs peuvent être utilisés afin de constituer un panneau de surface sensiblement courbeThereby, several devices can be used in order to constitute a substantially curved surface panel.
(figure 3) . De manière remarquable, le socle 4 du dispositif est constitué, d'une part, localement par la face externe de la paroi du coffre et, précisément, par deux points 4A, 4B de cette face qui sont situés sous le coffre, chacun à l'une des extrémités dudit coffre 6 et, d'autre part, par deux autres points qui sont constitués aux extrémités d'une pièce 15 allongée, quant à elle portée sous le coffre 6 par un moyen 16 d'articulation autour d'un axe 16A sensiblement vertical.(figure 3). Remarkably, the base 4 of the device is formed, on the one hand, locally by the external face of the wall of the trunk and, specifically, by two points 4A, 4B of this face which are located under the trunk, each at the 'one end of said trunk 6 and, on the other hand, by two other points which are formed at the ends of an elongated part 15, meanwhile carried under the trunk 6 by a means 16 of articulation around an axis 16A substantially vertical.
Le moyen 16 d'articulation de la pièce 15 permet son articulation entre au moins deux positions dont une position dans laquelle cette pièce 15 s'étend approximativement parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal 6A du coffre et une autre dans laquelle elle s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement à cet axe longitudinal 6A. Le coffre 6 présente un moyen 17 de fixation démontable du mât 5 par sa base, lequel moyen 17 est orienté de manière telle que, lorsque le socle 4 du coffre est en appui sur un support horizontal, ledit moyen 17 maintient le mât 5 incliné sur la verticale du lieu, d'une valeur V telle que son extrémité supérieure se trouve sensiblement à l'aplomb de la découpe 7 de passage de la nappe 2.The means 16 of articulation of the part 15 allows its articulation between at least two positions, one position in which this part 15 extends approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis 6A of the trunk and another in which it extends substantially perpendicularly to this longitudinal axis 6A. The trunk 6 has a means 17 for detachable attachment of the mast 5 by its base, which means 17 is oriented in such a way that, when the base 4 of the trunk is supported on a horizontal support, said means 17 keeps the mast 5 inclined on the vertical of the place, of a value V such that its upper end is substantially perpendicular to the cutout 7 for passage of the sheet 2.
Cette particularité permet de compenser l'écart de position qui existe entre la découpe 7 et le moyen 17 de fixation démontable, du fait de l'encombrement latéral du tambour, a fortiori lorsqu'il porte la nappe 2.This feature makes it possible to compensate for the difference in position which exists between the cutout 7 and the removable fixing means 17, due to the lateral size of the drum, a fortiori when it carries the ply 2.
Le moyen 17 consiste par exemple en un simple fourreau de forme complémentaire à celle de la base du mât. The means 17 consists for example of a simple sheath with a shape complementary to that of the base of the mast.
