  • the information carrier comprises a front face 1 intended to present the information, side walls 2 and 3 extending on either side of the front face 1 and substantially perpendicular to the front face 1.
  • the support further comprises a housing 4 forming an opening 5 in the front face 1 of the support and comprising a bottom 6 and a side wall 7 surrounding the bottom 6; the side wall 7 being connected to the face before 1 of the support.
  • the external dimensions of the housing 4 are determined to coincide with an opening of the frame, not shown, of the information column intended to receive the information medium.
  • the front face 1 is on the other hand preformed to present on the periphery of the opening 5, an inner rim 8 intended to receive a screen 9 supporting the information.
  • the screen 9 slightly convex to allow a panoramic visualization of the information, conforms to the also convex shape of the front face 1; the thickness of the screen 9 being included in the thickness of the inner rim 8 so that no part protrudes from the entire support.
  • This screen 9 is preferably screwed onto the front face 1 of the support to allow interchangeability of information.
  • the screen 9 is for example a removable screen in altuglas supporting a screen-printed text.
  • Different types of screen can be mounted on the same support.
  • a bright screen with or without signage, or even more simply, the support according to the invention does not include signage, but is in the form of a covering, pending a possible signage.
  • the outer edges of the front face 1 and of the side walls 2, 3 fold back towards the inside of the support to respectively form an upper rim 10 1 and lower rim 10 2 , of determined width, extending substantially perpendicularly to the face before 1 of the support.
  • the upper edge 10 1 is extended by a vertical flange 11 of determined height, projecting above the support.
  • the flange 11 extends in a direction substantially parallel to the front face 1, slightly convex, while following the profile of the front face 1 and the side walls 2 and 3.
  • the support according to the invention can be made of polyester according to a molding process.
  • Figure 2 shows a top view of the information medium according to the invention.
  • the support according to the invention has a generally "U" shape according to its top view.
  • This figure makes it possible to distinguish the substantially waterproof housing 4 which can contain, for example, a lighting device highlighting the information carried by the screen 9 fixed on the front face 1 of the support according to the invention, or any other device 4 ' for presenting dynamic information, delimited in FIG. 2 by a broken line, that is to say periodically updated, such as a parameter related to the environment, directly or remotely from the device 4 ′, for example the air pollution index, the level and / or flow of water in a river, precipitation, temperature, etc.
  • the various sensors sensitive to these parameters being either directly placed in proximity of the device 4 ', or at a distance from the device 4' and connected to the device 4 'by wire and / or wireless.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates, in an exploded view, various elements capable of being assembled on a support according to the invention as well as a display module of the column intended to receive this assembly.
  • a support 12 according to the invention is equipped with a device 13 for deflecting the light emitted, for example by a neon 14, fixed for example on the side wall 7 of the housing 4; the deflection device 13 being fixed to the bottom 6 of the housing 4.
  • a device 13 for deflecting the light emitted for example by a neon 14, fixed for example on the side wall 7 of the housing 4; the deflection device 13 being fixed to the bottom 6 of the housing 4.
  • the screen 9 can support signage, for example by screen printing or a poster pasted on the internal face of the screen 9, is attached to the front face 1 of the support 12, and closes the opening 5 of the support 12 and therefore also the box 4 equipped with the deflection device 13 and of the neon 14.
  • the screen 9 can also simply be a transparent anti-reflection screen 9 making it possible to view the information presentation device 4 ′ placed inside the box; the waterproof case vis-à-vis the outside protecting the device 4 'from the weather.
  • a decorative frame 15, for example made of stainless steel, can be attached to the screen 9 to hide all of the screws for fixing the screen 9.
  • the lighting of the housing 4 is produced for example by one or more neon lights.
  • the deflection device 13 is for example a folded aluminum sheet and is intended to diffuse the neon light on the screen 9.
  • the support 12 according to the invention is adjusted to fit around a display module 16 represented by its chassis.
  • the chassis is for example a tubular chassis made of square profiles; the box 4 returning inside a receptacle 17 formed by the frame 16 on which it will be fixed, and the side walls 2, 3 of the support 12 covering the outside of the frame 16.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a modular display column comprising a base 18 constituted for example by a tubular chassis in square section of the same type as the chassis 16 of the display module.
  • a determined number of display modules 16i can be stacked on top of each other to form a column of determined height; the assembly of the modules 16i on each other and on the base 18 being ensured by bolts.
  • the base 18 of the column rests on two feet 19 1 , 19 2 for fixing to the ground.
  • the head 20 of the column is covered on its two faces by two skins of structure identical to that of a support but without screen.
  • Such a column is intended for example to be fixed on a sidewalk and is rather intended to equip urban environments.
  • Such a modular column structure equipped with modules 16i superimposed on each other is of interest only insofar as it is possible to report on each front face of these modules 16i information of a different type, without having for that purpose to dismantle all of the modules 16i.
  • To change the information simply change the screen 9 screen-printed by removing the screws securing the screen 9 or in the case of a box 4 supporting a device 4 'of presentation of information, delimited in the figure by a broken line, remove the complete support 12 to place another supporting a device 4 'for presenting information differently.
  • the distribution of the different information on the faces of the column is facilitated by the modular aspect on the one hand of the column and on the other hand because of the interchangeability of the information supports.
  • the information medium 12 according to the invention behaving like a cover with respect to these modules 16i, makes it possible to modify the distribution of the information on the column by simple disengagement / interlocking of the cover 12 on the framework metal frame 16, the cover also coming to fit under the immediately upper cover and on the immediately lower cover corresponding respectively to the upper and lower adjacent modules.
  • the first nesting function in the chassis 16 is carried out by means of the inner box 4 of the support 12, and the embedding of the cover 12 relative to the upper cover is mainly due to the flange 11 surmounting the cover.
  • FIG. 5 makes it possible to represent, according to a profile view of the panel, the mounting or dismounting of a support 12 according to the invention.
  • the assembly and disassembly of such a cover 12 can be done easily and independently of the other modules 16i and requires only a limited number of operations.
  • the cover 12 is dislodged from its housing, which corresponds to dislodging the bottom 6 of the housing 4 from the chassis 16, and secondly, pivot the lower part of the cover 12 towards the front of the panel to then disengage the upper part of the immediately upper cover; this movement allowing the flange 11 to be released from the immediately upper cover.
  • the display panel can be single-sided or double-sided, that is to say carrying information on only one of its faces, or on both sides. It can also be mixed, that is to say comprising modules which, on one side, present information, and which, on the other side, do not present information, but simply an opaque covering.
  • the various information support covers and covers forming the covering of the display panel are shaped so as not to present visually, any protruding shape, each information support cover and covering s '' respectively integrating into the structure of the base chassis of the panel while not showing any protruding edge on the outside of the panel.
