Description

Dispositif pour la présentation de documents Device for presentation of documents
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour la présentation d'images, affiches ou tout autre type de documents.The present invention relates to a device for the presentation of images, posters or any other type of document.
La présentation d'images, affiches, photos ou documents quelconques dans un cadre est réalisée de nombreuses façons répondant à des critères esthétiques, mais également de facilité d'installation et de prix de revient. Les cadres suivant l'art antérieur sont souvent constitués d'un profilé assemblé en un cadre rectangulaire, d'une feuille de verre ou de matière synthétique transparente, d'un panneau-support, et de divers accessoires assurant le montage et la fixation. De manière générale, ces systèmes assurent un montage efficace, mais ne permettent pas de démonter le cadre de manière aisée et rapide, par exemple, pour remplacer le document à afficher.The presentation of any images, posters, photos or documents in a frame is carried out in many ways that meet aesthetic criteria, but also ease of installation and cost price. The frames according to the prior art often consist of a profile assembled into a rectangular frame, of a sheet of glass or of transparent synthetic material, of a support panel, and of various accessories ensuring mounting and fixing. In general, these systems provide efficient mounting, but do not allow the frame to be removed quickly and easily, for example, to replace the document to be displayed.
Un tel remplacement aisé du document est un avantage recherché dans des applications telles que l'affichage, dans des lieux publics, d'informations semi-permanentes par exemple les horaires, tarifs, programmes, menus.Such an easy replacement of the document is an advantage sought in applications such as the display, in public places, of semi-permanent information, for example timetables, prices, programs, menus.
Les cadres suivant l'art antérieur sont le plus souvent destinés à être appliqués sur un support opaque tel qu'un mur. Dans certaines applications, il est souhaitable de pouvoir afficher des documents sur les deux faces du cadre. Un tel cadre peut alors être appliqué sur une vitre, ou maintenu dans l'espace, de manière telle que ses deux faces puissent être observées .The frames according to the prior art are most often intended to be applied to an opaque support such as a wall. In some applications, it is desirable to be able to display documents on both sides of the frame. Such a frame can then be applied to a window pane, or held in space, so that its two faces can be observed.
On connaît par le brevet US 4,385,744 un cadre permettant un montage à l'épreuve du vol sur un mur. Le montage sur un mur est assuré par deux supports fixes s'engageant dans une rainure pratiquée sur la face arrière de la partie supérieure du cadre, et par un mécanisme de loquet s'engageant dans une rainure pratiquée sur la face arrière de la partie inférieure du cadre. Ce mécanisme de support est invisible et inaccessible. Il requiert un outil spécial pour le démontage. Ce brevet divulgue un mécanisme de montage sur un mur, mais ne décrit pas de mécanisme de remplacement aisé du document.US Pat. No. 4,385,744 discloses a frame allowing theft-proof mounting on a wall. The mounting on a wall is ensured by two fixed supports engaging in a groove made on the rear face of the upper part of the frame, and by a latch mechanism engaging in a groove made on the face back of the lower part of the frame. This support mechanism is invisible and inaccessible. It requires a special tool for disassembly. This patent discloses a mounting mechanism on a wall, but does not describe an easy document replacement mechanism.
On connaît également par le brevet US 3,918,187 un assemblage pour panneau indicateur permettant un changement aisé du document affiché. Cet assemblage comprend un élément de fond, et un cadre, dont au moins un des montants est constitué en une matière flexible. En déformant le montant flexible, on applique le cadre sur l'élément de fond. En relâchant ce montant du cadre, celui-ci vient s'engager à l'arrière de l'élément de fond, assurant ainsi la fermeture de l'assemblage. En raison de la présence d'un montant flexible, susceptible de se déformer sous l'effet du poids, ce cadre ne se prête pas bien à l'affichage de documents de grande dimension.Also known from US Pat. No. 3,918,187 is an assembly for an indicator panel allowing easy change of the document displayed. This assembly comprises a bottom element, and a frame, at least one of the uprights of which is made of a flexible material. By deforming the flexible upright, the frame is applied to the bottom element. By releasing this amount of the frame, it engages at the rear of the bottom element, thus ensuring the closure of the assembly. Due to the presence of a flexible upright, which can deform under the effect of weight, this frame does not lend itself well to the display of large documents.
Un but de la présente invention est de fournir un cadre qui permette un remplacement aisé et rapide du document affiché.An object of the present invention is to provide a framework which allows easy and rapid replacement of the displayed document.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de fournir un cadre qui puisse montrer un document tant sur sa face avant que sur sa face arrière, lorsqu'il est appliqué sur un support transparent tel qu'une vitre ou maintenu dans 1'espace.Another object of the present invention is to provide a frame which can show a document both on its front face and on its rear face, when it is applied to a transparent support such as a window pane or held in space.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pour la présentation de documents plans, permettant le remplacement du document par ouverture et fermeture du dispositif, comportant un élément de fond, un document, éventuellement protégé par une plaque transparente et un cadre apte à entourer l'élément de fond. Le cadre comporte un rebord propre à s'appuyer sur la périphérie du document ou de la plaque transparente. L'élément de fond comporte un ou plusieurs éléments de fixation aptes à solidariser le cadre à 1 'élément de fond comprenant chacun un élément susceptible de se déformer élastiquement . Chaque élément susceptible de se déformer élastiquement applique, lorsque le dispositif est dans l'état fermé, un effort de serrage sur le cadre, provoquant, en réaction, le serrage du document éventuellement protégé par une plaque transparente, entre le rebord et l'élément de fond. Dans une variante préférée du dispositif suivant l'invention, le cadre comporte sur au moins deux de ses faces intérieures, une rainure apte à coopérer avec les éléments de fixation. D'une manière préférée , ces éléments de fixation sont de loqueteaux à bille. Le cadre peut être constitué d'un assemblage de profilés d'aluminium.The present invention relates to a device for the presentation of plan documents, allowing the replacement of the document by opening and closing the device, comprising a bottom element, a document, possibly protected by a transparent plate and a frame capable of surrounding the background element. The frame has a clean rim to rest on the periphery of the document or of the transparent plate. The bottom element comprises one or more fixing elements capable of securing the frame to one bottom element each comprising an element likely to deform elastically. Each element liable to deform elastically applies, when the device is in the closed state, a clamping force on the frame, causing, in reaction, the clamping of the document possibly protected by a transparent plate, between the rim and the element background. In a preferred variant of the device according to the invention, the frame comprises on at least two of its internal faces, a groove capable of cooperating with the fastening elements. Preferably, these fastening elements are ball latches. The frame can consist of an assembly of aluminum profiles.
L'élément de fond peut comprendre un cadre intérieur constitué d'un assemblage de profilés, par exemple en aluminium, et une plaque. La plaque peut être transparente, par exemple en PVC, ou en un matériau opaque tel que le bois aggloméré.The bottom element may include an interior frame consisting of an assembly of profiles, for example aluminum, and a plate. The plate can be transparent, for example PVC, or an opaque material such as chipboard.
Dans une variante du dispositif suivant l'invention, l'élément de fond est un panneau massif, qui peut être constitué de particules de bois agglomérées, tel le "Médium Density Fibreboard" (M.D.F.) .In a variant of the device according to the invention, the bottom element is a solid panel, which can be made up of agglomerated wood particles, such as the "Medium Density Fibreboard" (M.D.F.).
Dans une autre variante du dispositif suivant l'invention, l'élément de fond comporte une plaque et au moins une pièce rapportée. Ladite au moins une pièce rapportée est en une matière choisie parmi le bois, le bois aggloméré et le PVC.In another variant of the device according to the invention, the bottom element comprises a plate and at least one insert. Said at least one insert is made of a material chosen from wood, agglomerated wood and PVC.
Le cadre peut être articulé à l'élément de fond par une charnière.The frame can be hinged to the bottom element by a hinge.
L'élément de fond peut comporter, à sa partie supérieure, un moyen de maintien du document.The bottom element may include, at its upper part, a means for holding the document.
L'élément de fond peut être fixé de manière permanente sur un support, tel qu'un mur ou une autre paroi verticale, par exemple, au moyen de deux vis. Ceci assure une fixation solide et à l'abri du vol, de l'élément de fond sur le support.The bottom element can be permanently fixed to a support, such as a wall or other vertical wall, for example, by means of two screws. This ensures a secure and theft-free attachment of the bottom element to the support.
Le cadre et la plaque transparente sont aisément démontables, par simple traction du cadre vers l'avant. On peut procéder au démontage soit manuellement, soit en utilisant un levier.The frame and the transparent plate are easily removable by simply pulling the frame forward. Disassembly can be done either manually or using a lever.
Il n'est pas nécessaire de désolidariser 1'élément de fond de son support pour procéder au remplacement du document.It is not necessary to separate the bottom element from its support in order to replace the document.
Aucun accessoire de fixation ou de fermeture n'est visible, ce qui donne à l'ensemble un aspect esthétique tout en réduisant le risque de démontage du cadre par des personnes mal intentionnées.No fixing or closing accessory is visible, which gives the whole an aesthetic appearance while reducing the risk of dismantling the frame by malicious people.
L'invention a également pour objet un dispositif pour la présentation de documents plans, permettant la présentation de documents sur les deux faces, réalisé par l'assemblage dos à dos de deux dispositifs simples. D'autres particularités et avantages des dispositifs suivant l'invention ressortiront de la description ci-après de formes de réalisation particulière, référence étant faite aux dessins annexés dans lesquels la Fig. 1 est une vue de face d'une première forme d'exécution d'un dispositif suivant l'invention, la Fig. 2 est une vue en éclaté, d'une coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la Fig. 1, la Fig. 3 est une vue en coupe d'un détail de la première forme d'exécution d'un dispositif suivant l'invention, la Fig. 4 est une vue en coupe d'un détail d'une deuxième forme d'exécution d'un dispositif suivant 1'invention, la Fig. 5 est une vue en coupe d'un détail d'une troisième forme d'exécution d'un dispositif suivant 1'invention, et la Fig. 6 est une vue en perspective cavalière d'un mode de mise en application particulier de dispositifs suivant l'invention. La figure 1 montre l'ensemble d'un dispositif 1, vu de face, comprenant quatre profilés coupés à onglets, formant un cadre 2, et un panneau de fond 3. Comme on le voit mieux à la figure 2, la fixation du panneau de fond 3 sur un mur 4 peut se faire grâce aux trous chanfreinés 5 qui peuvent accueillir des vis 6. Le dispositif 1 comporte encore une plaque transparente 7, en verre ou en matière synthétique et un document 8, par exemple une photo. Dans le cas où le document à afficher est suffisamment rigide, et présente une surface suffisamment résistante, la plaque transparente 7 peut être omise.The invention also relates to a device for the presentation of planar documents, allowing the presentation of documents on both sides, produced by the back-to-back assembly of two simple devices. Other particularities and advantages of the devices according to the invention will emerge from the description below of particular embodiments, reference being made to the appended drawings in which FIG. 1 is a front view of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a section along line II-II of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a detail of the first embodiment of a device according to the invention, FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a detail of a second embodiment of a device according to the invention, FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a detail of a third embodiment of a device according to the invention, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a particular mode of application of devices according to the invention. FIG. 1 shows the assembly of a device 1, seen from the front, comprising four cut sections with tabs, forming a frame 2, and a bottom panel 3. As can be seen better in FIG. 2, the fixing of the bottom panel 3 to a wall 4 can be done thanks to the chamfered holes 5 which can accommodate screws 6. The device 1 further comprises a transparent plate 7, made of glass or of synthetic material and a document 8, for example a photo. In the case where the document to be displayed is sufficiently rigid, and has a sufficiently resistant surface, the transparent plate 7 can be omitted.
Des loqueteaux 9 comportant chacun une bille 10 sont encastrés dans les chants (ou côtés) du panneau de fond 3. Dans la forme d'exécution illustrée, on a représenté un montage de quatre loqueteaux 3 disposés sur deux chants opposés du panneau 3.Latches 9 each comprising a ball 10 are embedded in the edges (or sides) of the bottom panel 3. In the illustrated embodiment, there is shown an assembly of four latches 3 arranged on two opposite edges of the panel 3.
Le cadre 2 est pourvu d'une rainure longitudinaleFrame 2 is provided with a longitudinal groove
11 apte à recevoir les billes 10 des loqueteaux 9. Le cadre 2 peut être appliqué et fixé au panneau de fond 3 par simple encliquetage. La Fig. 3 est une vue de détail sur laquelle on voit mieux que les profilés du cadre 2 comportent un rebord11 suitable for receiving the balls 10 of the latches 9. The frame 2 can be applied and fixed to the bottom panel 3 by simple snap-fastening. Fig. 3 is a detail view on which it is better to see that the profiles of the frame 2 have a flange
12 s'étendant vers l'avant du dispositif 1 et se repliant vers le centre du cadre 2. Ce rebord 12 retient ainsi la plaque de verre ou de matière transparente 7 et le document 8. La Fig. 3 montre également un loqueteau 9 avec sa bille 10 engagée dans la rainure 11 d'un profilé du cadre 2. L'épaisseur de l'élément de fond 3 et la position de la rainure 11 du cadre 2 sont telles que l'élément de fond 3 ressort légèrement à l'arrière du cadre 2 lorsque le dispositif 1 est assemblé, ménageant ainsi un espace entre le mur 4 et le cadre 2. Cette disposition facilite le démontage du dispositif.12 extending towards the front of the device 1 and folding back towards the center of the frame 2. This rim 12 thus retains the plate of glass or transparent material 7 and the document 8. FIG. 3 also shows a latch 9 with its ball 10 engaged in the groove 11 of a profile of the frame 2. The thickness of the bottom element 3 and the position of the groove 11 of the frame 2 are such that the element of bottom 3 comes out slightly behind the frame 2 when the device 1 is assembled, thus leaving a space between the wall 4 and the frame 2. This arrangement facilitates disassembly of the device.
L'assemblage des profilés du cadre 2 est réalisé de manière permanente, par exemple par sertissage d'équerres en acier insérées dans la rainure 11. Ces profilés peuvent être réalisés par extrusion d'aluminium, être en matière synthétique ou en toute autre matière appropriée.The assembly of the profiles of the frame 2 is carried out permanently, for example by crimping steel brackets inserted in the groove 11. These profiles can be made by extrusion of aluminum, be made of material synthetic or any other suitable material.
La plaque transparente 7 est soit une feuille de polystyrène ou de polycarbonate d'une épaisseur pouvant varier de 0,5 à 2 mm, soit une feuille de verre d'une épaisseur pouvant varier de 1,5 à 2,5 mm.The transparent plate 7 is either a sheet of polystyrene or polycarbonate with a thickness which can vary from 0.5 to 2 mm, or a glass sheet with a thickness which can vary from 1.5 to 2.5 mm.
L'élément de fond 3, qui est plein dans la forme d'exécution représentée aux Figs. 1 à 3, peut être constitué de tout matériau dans lequel des perforations latérales destinées à contenir le corps des loqueteaux sont aisément réalisables. Un tel matériau est par exemple le "Médium Density Fibreboard" (M.D.F.) .The bottom element 3, which is full in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 3, can be made of any material in which lateral perforations intended to contain the body of the latches are easily achievable. One such material is, for example, "Medium Density Fiberboard" (M.D.F.).
Le panneau de fond 3 a une épaisseur pouvant varier de 10 à 20 mm. L'épaisseur doit être suffisante pour pouvoir fixer les loqueteaux 9 dans ses chants. Les loqueteaux 9 à billes 10 sont connus dans l'industrie du meuble et sont disponibles dans des modèles et dimensions variés. Le type de loqueteau utilisé dans la première forme d'exécution du dispositif 1 suivant la présente invention est le type à encastrer. Dans une deuxième forme d'exécution représentée à la Figure 4, l'élément de fond 13 comporte une plaque 14 et des pièces rapportées 15 (dont une seule est représentée sur la Figure) . Les pièces rapportées 15 peuvent être fixées sur un support (par exemple un mur ou une fenêtre) par tout moyen approprié. On peut par exemple utiliser un adhésif double face 16.The bottom panel 3 has a thickness which can vary from 10 to 20 mm. The thickness must be sufficient to be able to fix the latches 9 in its edges. Latches 9 with balls 10 are known in the furniture industry and are available in various models and dimensions. The type of latch used in the first embodiment of the device 1 according to the present invention is the type to be built in. In a second embodiment shown in Figure 4, the bottom element 13 comprises a plate 14 and inserts 15 (only one of which is shown in the Figure). The inserts 15 can be fixed on a support (for example a wall or a window) by any suitable means. One can for example use a double-sided adhesive 16.
Les loqueteaux 9 sont sans inconvénient placés dans les pièces rapportées 15 qui peuvent être de même nature que le panneau de fond 3. On utilise dans ce cas de préférence des loqueteaux à visser.The latches 9 are without disadvantage placed in the inserts 15 which may be of the same kind as the bottom panel 3. In this case, preferably latches to be screwed.
Dans une troisième forme de réalisation, représentée à la Fig. 5, l'élément de fond 17 comprend un assemblage de profilés 18 sensiblement en forme de "U" constituant un cadre intérieur de dimensions légèrement inférieures à celles du cadre 2, et une plaque 14. Les loqueteaux 9 a bille 10 sont sertis ou vissés dans la partie médiane du "U" du profilé 18.In a third embodiment, shown in FIG. 5, the bottom element 17 comprises an assembly of profiles 18 substantially in the shape of a "U" constituting an inner frame of dimensions slightly smaller than those of the frame 2, and a plate 14. The latches 9 with ball 10 are crimped or screwed in the middle part of the "U" of the profile 18.
Le profilé 18 comprend une rainure 19. L'assemblage des angles du cadre intérieur peut être réalisé, par exemple, par sertissage ou vissage d'équerres en acier dans la rainure 19. Cette rainure 19 peut être utilisée également pour y insérer un ou plusieurs accessoires de suspension du cadre, permettant de suspendre le cadre à un clou ou au moyen d'un câble. Ces deux dernières formes d'exécution présentent l'avantage de fournir un dispositif particulièrement léger.The profile 18 includes a groove 19. The assembly of the angles of the inner frame can be carried out, for example, by crimping or screwing steel brackets into the groove 19. This groove 19 can also be used to insert one or more frame hanging accessories, for hanging the frame on a nail or using a cable. These last two embodiments have the advantage of providing a particularly light device.
Il importe de noter que, tant pour la deuxième que pour la troisième forme d'exécution, la plaque 14 peut être une plaque opaque, de même nature que le panneau de fond 3 de la première forme d'exécution représentée, soit en M.D.F. ou en PVC. Il peut également consister en une plaque transparente, de même nature que la plaque transparente 7.It is important to note that, for both the second and the third embodiment, the plate 14 can be an opaque plate, of the same kind as the bottom panel 3 of the first embodiment shown, either in M.D.F. or PVC. It can also consist of a transparent plate, of the same kind as the transparent plate 7.
Dans ce dernier cas, si le dispositif 1 suivant l'invention est appliqué sur une fenêtre, ou simplement suspendu dans un espace de telle sorte que ses deux faces soient visibles, et que le document 8 est imprimé recto- verso, il peut être aperçu de part et d'autre du dispositif 1. Dans les exemples illustrés, les loqueteaux 9 viennent s'engager dans la rainure 11 du cadre 2 lorsque celui-ci est appliqué sur l'élément de fond (3; 13; 17) . La bille 10 du loqueteau à bille 9 est appliquée par le ressort 20 contre la lèvre postérieure 21 de la rainure 11. Celle-ci applique un effort dans le sens de la flèche A indiquée sur la Fig. 3. Un effort de réaction indiqué par la flèche B est appliqué par le rebord 12 sur la plaque transparente 7 et/ou le document 8, assurant ainsi un serrage. La force de serrage peut être adaptée suivant les applications en modifiant la taille du cadre 2, le type et le nombre de loqueteaux 9 utilisés et la forme de la rainure il. Le mécanisme du loqueteau 9 à bille 10 permet de maintenir le serrage du document 8 malgré de légères variations de l'épaisseur du document 8 ou de la plaque transparente 7, par un engagement plus au moins important de la bille 10 dans la rainure 11.In the latter case, if the device 1 according to the invention is applied to a window, or simply suspended in a space so that its two faces are visible, and the document 8 is printed on both sides, it can be seen on either side of the device 1. In the examples illustrated, the latches 9 engage in the groove 11 of the frame 2 when the latter is applied to the bottom element (3; 13; 17). The ball 10 of the ball catch 9 is applied by the spring 20 against the rear lip 21 of the groove 11. The latter applies a force in the direction of the arrow A indicated in FIG. 3. A reaction force indicated by arrow B is applied by the rim 12 on the transparent plate 7 and / or the document 8, thus ensuring a tightening. The clamping force can be adapted according to the applications by modifying the size of the frame 2, the type and number of latches 9 used and the shape of the groove there. The mechanism of the latch 9 with ball 10 makes it possible to maintain the tightening of the document 8 despite slight variations in the thickness of the document 8 or of the transparent plate 7, by a more or less significant engagement of the ball 10 in the groove 11.
Dans des cadres de dimensions importantes, on peut augmenter le nombre de loqueteaux, par exemple jusqu'à huit. De même, pour des cadres de petites dimensions, on peut se limiter à deux loqueteaux. Le cadre suivant l'invention peut être appliqué à un support opaque tel qu'un mur. Un autre mode d'utilisation est montré à la Fig. 6. Ainsi que le montre la Fig. 6, on peut solidariser, dos à dos les deux éléments de fond 3; 13; 17 de deux dispositifs 1 et l' suivant l'invention. Ces deux dispositifs 1 et l' ont de préférence les mêmes dimensions. L'ensemble 22 peut alors être suspendu au plafond par des câbles, ou maintenu par tout autre moyen approprié. On peut alors disposer deux documents 8 et 8 ' , visibles de part et d'autre. Ce mode d'utilisation trouve son application dans des lieux de passage tels que le hall d'entrée d'une banque.In large frames, the number of latches can be increased, for example up to eight. Similarly, for small frames, we can limit ourselves to two latches. The frame according to the invention can be applied to an opaque support such as a wall. Another mode of use is shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the two bottom elements 3 can be joined back to back; 13; 17 of two devices 1 and the according to the invention. These two devices 1 and 1 preferably have the same dimensions. The assembly 22 can then be suspended from the ceiling by cables, or maintained by any other appropriate means. We can then have two documents 8 and 8 ', visible from both sides. This mode of use finds its application in places of passage such as the entrance hall of a bank.
Le cadre, rectangulaire dans les exemples illustrés, peut, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, être réalisé sous toute autre forme, par exemple octogonale. II peut également comporter un dispositif de verrouillage.The frame, rectangular in the examples illustrated, can, without departing from the scope of the invention, be produced in any other form, for example octagonal. It can also include a locking device.
Les profilés peuvent être revêtus de toute finition esthétique, telle que de la laque ou traités par anodisation. The profiles can be coated with any aesthetic finish, such as lacquer or treated with anodization.
