Definitions

• the invention relates to a column presentation system for the display of goods or brochure material, which is particularly suitable for thin objects and has a modular structure, as well as adapter elements and goods pocket angle adapters for presentation systems.
• Modular column presentation systems for goods or brochure material in which a plurality of shopping bags are arranged around an upright supporting mast, are known from DE-U 23 77 269, among others.
• DE 295 06 656 describes a goods presentation system in a modular design, which comprises an upright, central support mast, which has regularly undercut recesses, for example, formed as undercut longitudinal grooves, and goods supports which can be fastened to the support masts, the goods supports corresponding fastening means to the recesses have, by means of which they can be fastened directly to the support pole at the positions predetermined by the cutouts, and the individual goods carriers in terms of their dimensions and shape are not designed as floor plates and can thus be fastened from the side into the cutouts of the support pole.
• the presentation system described has the great advantage over the known presentation pillars, which are equipped with interchangeable floor plates, that instead of entire floor plates, individual goods carrier modules, for example designed as pockets, can be exchanged in a simple manner and the entire system is therefore extremely flexible for this reason and is adaptable. Furthermore, from FR-A 2 718932 a presentation stand for elongated objects, from DE-U-92 17446 a template holder and from US-A-5337904 a remote control holder are known.
• a large product area is presented when using known one-piece multi-storey panels, in each of which two compartments arranged at an angle to one another are arranged directly next to one another dial have outward-facing removal openings and a larger number of such pairs of adjustment such as a star wreath are arranged on a floor plate.
• this is bought through a construction that is not accessible to individual adjustments.
• the invention has for its object to provide a versatile, individually adjustable presentation system, the modules of which are simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture.
• the invention is intended, in particular, to provide a variable column presentation system with individually exchangeable goods carriers or modules, in which different goods carrier arrangements can be implemented at a height level in order to allow an optimal presentation of a large number of different and, in particular, thin presentation objects.
• adapter elements and goods bag angle adapters By providing adapter elements and goods bag angle adapters, the possibility is created with little effort to implement a large number of individually selectable configurations in a presentation system, whereby the carrying poles and goods bags, which are complex to manufacture, can be used in various configurations.
• the adapter elements make it possible to vary the effective diameter of the support mast for attaching goods bags, this being done with little technical effort and can be achieved with a column display system with a lower weight gain than when replacing the support mast.
• the product pocket angle adapters which can be manufactured with little material, also individually or together with adapter elements increase the selection of realizable configurations.
• At least one adapter element designed as an adapter plate is preferably arranged on the support masts, the adapter plate having a centrally arranged opening for the passage of the support masts and on the outside of which the merchandise pockets themselves or detachably fasteners arranged on the merchandise pockets are in turn detachably fastened.
• support poles can be advantageously equipped with individual goods pockets from the side using the adapter plate.
• axially rotatable support masts which are the static basic element for many presentation systems, and the bases and substructures which ensure stability and, if appropriate, driveability and regularly represent a high cost factor in the invention.
• adapter plates according to the invention - which then take on the appearance of an adapter ring - can be chosen with a correspondingly small diameter or the If necessary, individual merchandise bags can be attached directly to the supporting mast using merchandise bag angle adapters.
• an adapter plate according to the invention with a correspondingly larger diameter will be selected.
• a column presentation system equipped in this way with different adapter plates and product carriers according to the invention offers a regular and appealing appearance from the outside.
• each anchor plate Because the entire edge area of each anchor plate is available for the detachable fastening of individual goods pockets, it is possible to choose fastening forms for the goods pockets that are much easier to handle and more stable than is the case with the known modular systems where each individual goods pocket must be attached directly to the tightly dimensioned surface of the mast. As a result of the enlarged circumferential line which is available for fastening the goods carriers or the goods pockets, fastening and any replacement of the goods pockets are made considerably easier, which is particularly advantageous if many small goods pockets are to be arranged at a height. A stable and resilient attachment of individual merchandise bags to be arranged at a radial distance from the supporting masts only becomes practical with the adapter plate.
• a circular adapter plate is described, since a circular outer edge allows the goods pockets to be arranged in a stepless manner and thus the greatest possible flexibility for a different arrangement trained goods bags allowed.
• the adapter plate can also have a polygonal circumferential line.
• the adapter element has a marking or a corresponding raster which facilitates the correct and geometrically regular arrangement of the goods pockets or also predetermined. This measure is particularly advantageous when complicated arrangement configurations are selected using a larger number of shopping bags.
• the markings or grids are provided with designations which can relate to the arrangement configuration provided in each case for a specific shape or number of goods bags.
• a grid can be applied to the adapter element, for example in the form of designated depressions or recesses, into which position warts, tabs or the like provided for this purpose and arranged on the goods pockets or their fastening means can engage.
• a variety of thin or low-volume presentation objects can be easily distinguished and strikingly displayed with a small footprint if the shopping bags are arranged so that each shopping bag has an adjacent shopping bag with which it forms an angle, the removal openings of the two concerned Place the goods bags next to each other and point them radially outwards.
• the arrangement described is particularly advantageous for the effective display of picture and greeting cards, forms and the like, in other words whenever it is important that complete picture areas can be viewed without taking up much space.
• the advantage of the modular arrangement according to the invention is that different depths, depending on the respective goods format Fit merchandise bags can be arranged in the star pattern described, and by varying the angle enclosed by two adjacent merchandise bags, the overall extent of the carrying masts equipped with merchandise bags can be kept uniform and regular. This is preferably done by using suitable goods bag angle adapters.
• the adapter elements are arranged on the masts either in a stepless or stepped manner, whereby the space utilization is optimized and different heights of different types of presentation goods can be taken into account.
• a further advantageous embodiment variant of the invention relates to the design of the outer edge region of the adapter element and the fastening means corresponding thereto and optionally detachably arranged on the product pockets, by means of which the product pockets can be fastened to the adapter plate.
• the fastening means have profiles into which the merchandise pockets can be inserted to form a push profile.
• the particularly advantageous star-shaped arrangement configurations already described can best be achieved if goods-angle brackets are used which are provided with two profiles arranged at an angle to one another and are therefore suitable for holding two goods bags each.
• dovetail profiles with a safety catch are particularly suitable enable a stable and at the same time easily detachable connection between the fastener and the shopping bag.
• the edge reinforcement can advantageously be used for detachable connections with the special fastening means, the fastening means carrying pliers-like extensions with the aid of which they can be snapped into or snapped into the edge reinforcement.
• the edge reinforcement has proven to be advantageous in strengthening stability and suitable for latching in the fastening means if it is designed as a wall arranged essentially upright to the adapter plate surface, on the upper edge of which the fastening means can be suspended and can be latched in by means of one or more hooks on the lower edge.
• An edge reinforcement designed in this way can, if necessary, be stabilized with webs or ribs arranged between the adapter plate surface and the reinforcement wall.
• Goods bag angle adapters can be used particularly well in combination with adapter elements in column presentation systems. However, they can also be used with other support systems, for example with flat wall elements or elongated, optionally also flat wall strips.
• the presentation system according to the invention is particularly suitable for displaying thin and low-volume objects. Many of these objects have only a slight inherent stiffness and are therefore only of limited suitability for an upright presentation.
• a solution to this problem is provided by the use of shopping bags which are to be the objects, single sheets, folded maps, thin booklets and the like are maintained clamping device.
• the weight and manufacturing costs of a modular presentation device according to the invention can advantageously be kept low if the supporting mast, the adapter elements, possibly the angle adapter for the goods pockets and the goods pockets are made of plastic, with the plastic bags being preferred in particular.
• the known plastic injection molding processes are particularly suitable for the production of the three last-mentioned components.
• the presentation system according to the invention is preferably equipped with an axially rotatable support mast, which, as in the known rotating columns, can be mounted on a pedestal, a chassis provided with rollers or stationary in the floor.
