Description

La présente invention concerne les étagères utilisées notamment dans les magasins pour la présentation des produits.The present invention relates to the shelves used especially in stores for product presentation.

L'invention concerne plus spécialement les étagères dans lesquelles des tablettes en matière transparente ou translucide sont tenues par des montants postérieurs et des moyens de fixation.The invention relates more particularly to the shelves in which shelves in transparent or translucent material are held by posterior uprights and fixing means.

De telles étagères sont destinées à être utilisées notamment dans les magasins de parfumerie, les pharmacies, les magasins de cosmétique, pour présenter les produits mis à la disposition de la clientèle. Les produits sont posés sur la face supérieure des étagères, et sont éclairés par des sources de lumière placées de façon appropriée.Such shelves are intended to be used especially in perfume stores, pharmacies, cosmetic stores, to present the products available to customers. The products are placed on the face shelves, and are lit by sources of light placed appropriately.

Dans l'agencement des magasins, il est nécessaire de disposer d'éléments d'étagère réglables en hauteur et modulaires. Les tablettes peuvent être disposées à des hauteurs choisies. De même, il est indispensable de pouvoir disposer côte à côte plusieurs éléments d'étagère, afin de réaliser un linéaire continu sur une longueur de mur préexistant.In the layout of stores, it is necessary to have height adjustable and modular shelf elements. The shelves can be placed at selected heights. Of even, it is essential to be able to have side by side several shelf elements, in order to achieve a continuous linear on a length of pre-existing wall.

On connaít déjà des étagères modulaires dans lesquelles les tablettes sont tenues par des montants postérieurs et des montants antérieurs. Des sources de lumière peuvent être cachées derrière les montants antérieurs. La présence des montants antérieurs rend l'ensemble peu esthétique et limite considérablement son intérêt.We already know modular shelves in which the shelves are held by posterior uprights and previous amounts. Light sources may be hidden behind the front uprights. The presence of the amounts previous makes the whole unattractive and limit considerably his interest.

On connaít également des étagères dans lesquelles les tablettes sont tenues aux montants postérieurs par des équerres latérales. Les équerres nuisent également à l'esthétique de l'ensemble, d'autant plus qu'elles sont clairement apparentes lorsque les tablettes sont en verre ou en une autre matière transparente ou translucide.We also know shelves in which the shelves are held at the rear uprights by brackets side. The brackets also affect the aesthetics of the whole, especially since they are clearly apparent when the shelves are made of glass or another material transparent or translucent.

Le document US 5 758 585 A décrit une stucture d'étagère de présentation comprenant plusieurs tablettes en verre dont le bord postérieur est engagé dans la rainure longitudinale antérieure d'une traverse continue monobloc tenue dans des logements de montants postérieurs. Des dispositifs éclairants sont fixés sous la tablette, pour éclairer par dessus les produits portés par une tablette inférieure. Le chant antérieur des tablettes n'est pas illuminé.Document US 5,758,585 A describes a shelf structure presentation including several glass shelves including the posterior edge is engaged in the anterior longitudinal groove of a continuous one-piece cross member held in housing of posterior amounts. Lighting devices are attached under the shelf, to illuminate over the products carried by a lower shelf. The previous song of the tablets is not illuminated.

Le document DE 34 00 490 A propose de disposer une source de lumière derrière une tablette en matière transparente ou translucide. La lumière est conduite par la tablette jusqu'à son chant antérieur qui se trouve ainsi éclairé. La source de lumière est incorporée dans un boítier ouvert vers l'arrière et vers l'avant, constitué par l'assemblage d'un profilé de base, de deux pinces d'extrémité, et de plaques supérieure et inférieure. Les deux pinces d'extrémité s'engagent sur le bord postérieur de la tablette, de sorte que le boítier est supporté par la tablette qui elle-même est tenue par des supports non décrits.Document DE 34 00 490 A proposes to have a source of light behind a tablet made of transparent material or translucent. The light is led by the tablet to its previous song which is thus illuminated. The light source is incorporated in a box open towards the back and towards the front, consisting of the assembly of a base profile, two end clamps, and top and bottom plates. The two end clamps engage on the rear edge of the tablet, so that the case is supported by the tablet which itself is held by supports not described.

Le problème proposé par la présente invention est de concevoir une nouvelle structure d'étagère à tablettes en matière transparente ou translucide et réglables en hauteur, dans laquelle le chant antérieur des tablettes est lumineux, et dans laquelle les organes mécaniques de tenue des tablettes sont entièrement occultables tout en assurant une tenue mécanique efficace.The problem proposed by the present invention is to design a new shelf structure in terms of material transparent or translucent and adjustable in height, in which the front edge of the tablets is bright, and in which the mechanical holding devices of the shelves are fully concealable while ensuring effective mechanical resistance.

La difficulté est d'assurer l'éclairage de la tranche antérieure de tablette sans perturber la résistance mécanique des moyens de tenue occultés, tout en facilitant le montage de l'étagère dans le site d'utilisation, par assemblage d'un nombre réduit d'éléments.The difficulty is to ensure the lighting of the section tablet front without disturbing the mechanical strength of concealed holding means, while facilitating the mounting of the shelf in the site of use, by assembling a number reduced elements.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, on cherche à assurer un éclairage efficace des produits posés sur les tablettes, sans perturber les qualités esthétiques de l'ensemble, et en permettant de positionner des marquages ou inscriptions sur le chant antérieur lumineux des tablettes.According to another aspect of the invention, it is sought to ensure efficient lighting of products placed on shelves, without disrupt the aesthetic qualities of the whole, and allowing to position markings or inscriptions on the previous edge bright shelves.

Pour atteindre ces objets ainsi que d'autres, l'invention prévoit une étagère réglable, comprenant des montants postérieurs, des traverses amovibles monobloc, des moyens de fixation des traverses aux montants postérieurs, et des tablettes en matière transparente ou translucide ; les traverses comportent une rainure longitudinale antérieure conformée pour recevoir et retenir un bord postérieur de tablette ; les traverses comportent en outre une chambre postérieure, communiquant par un passage avec la rainure longitudinale antérieure, et conformée pour recevoir et retenir une source de lumière,
de sorte que les traverses portent les tablettes par encastrement dans les rainures longitudinales antérieures et assurent simultanément l'éclairage du chant antérieur des tablettes par les sources de lumière qu'elles contiennent.To achieve these and other objects, the invention provides an adjustable shelf, comprising rear uprights, removable one-piece sleepers, means for fixing the sleepers to the rear uprights, and shelves of transparent or translucent material; the cross members have a front longitudinal groove shaped to receive and retain a rear edge of the shelf; the crosspieces also comprise a rear chamber, communicating by a passage with the front longitudinal groove, and shaped to receive and retain a light source,
so that the sleepers carry the shelves by embedding in the anterior longitudinal grooves and simultaneously ensure the lighting of the front edge of the shelves by the light sources they contain.

Les tablettes étant tenues seulement par encastrement dans les rainures des traverses, les organes mécaniques de tenue des tablettes sont naturellement peu apparents, et des tablettes adjacentes peuvent être disposées en continuité l'une de l'autre, avec leurs bords latéraux respectifs en contact l'un de l'autre pour réaliser un linéaire continu.The shelves being held only by embedding in the grooves of the sleepers, the mechanical holding bodies of the tablets are naturally not very visible, and tablets adjacent can be arranged in continuity of one another, with their respective side edges in contact with each other to make a continuous line.

Pour occulter les organes mécaniques de tenue tels que les traverses et les montants postérieurs, on peut prévoir en outre des panneaux postérieurs conformés pour être rapportés et fixés en avant des montants postérieurs et des traverses entre deux tablettes successives disposées l'une au-dessus de l'autre.To conceal mechanical holding devices such as crosspieces and rear uprights, we can also provide rear panels shaped to be attached and fixed in before posterior uprights and crosspieces between two successive shelves arranged one above the other.

Pour leur fixation aux montants postérieurs, les traverses peuvent avantageusement comporter des crochets postérieurs engagés dans des évidements antérieurs des montants postérieurs.For their attachment to the posterior uprights, the crosspieces may advantageously include engaged rear hooks in anterior recesses of the posterior uprights.

La chambre postérieure de la traverse, et la source de lumière qu'elle contient, occupent de préférence toute ou la majeure partie de la longueur de la traverse, afin d'assurer un éclairage continu et suffisant du chant antérieur de tablette. La source de lumière peut être un tube de lumière fluorescente, engagé dans des pinces tenues sur une plaque insérée dans des rainures longitudinales de la chambre postérieure. Naturellement, d'autres sources de lumière pourront être utilisées.The rear chamber of the sleeper, and the source of light it contains, preferably occupy all or the most of the length of the sleeper, to ensure continuous and sufficient lighting of the front edge of the tablet. The light source can be a fluorescent light tube, engaged in clamps held on a plate inserted in grooves longitudinal of the posterior chamber. Naturally, others light sources may be used.

Un problème est d'aligner de façon très précise les chants antérieurs de tablettes successives, afin qu'ils soient très exactement à la même hauteur. Pour cela, on peut avantageusement prévoir que la traverse comprend des éléments postérieurs d'appui réglables venant en appui contre les montants postérieurs pour régler l'inclinaison de la traverse et de la tablette qu'elle porte autour d'un axe de pivotement horizontal postérieur. Les éléments postérieurs d'appui réglables peuvent par exemple être des vis. One problem is to align the edges very precisely fronts of successive shelves, so that they are very exactly at the same height. For this, we can advantageously provide that the crosspiece includes rear support elements adjustable resting against the rear uprights for adjust the angle of the cross member and the shelf it carries around a posterior horizontal pivot axis. The elements adjustable back supports can for example be screws.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, l'étagère comprend en outre au moins un boítier tubulaire antérieur fixé en face inférieure d'une tablette au voisinage de son chant antérieur, et comportant une paroi antérieure opaque et une zone postérieure transparente ou translucide, avec une source de lumière interne diffusant la lumière vers le haut, vers l'arrière et vers le bas.According to an advantageous embodiment, the shelf further comprises at least one front tubular housing fixed in underside of a tablet near its front edge, and comprising an opaque anterior wall and a posterior zone transparent or translucent, with an internal light source diffusing the light upwards, backwards and downwards.

D'autres objets, caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description suivante de modes de réalisation particuliers, faite en relation avec les figures jointes, parmi lesquelles:

  • la figure 1 illustre, en perspective, une structure d'étagère selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, les panneaux d'occultation ayant été enlevés ; et
  • la figure 2 est une vue de côté en coupe partielle de la structure d'étagère de la figure 1.
Other objects, characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description of particular embodiments, given in relation to the attached figures, among which:
  • Figure 1 illustrates, in perspective, a shelf structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, the blackout panels having been removed; and
  • FIG. 2 is a side view in partial section of the shelf structure of FIG. 1.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures, une étagère réglable selon la présente invention comprend, de façon générale, des montants postérieurs tels que les montants 1 et 2, des traverses amovibles telles que la traverse 3, des moyens de fixation des traverses 3 aux montants postérieurs 1 et 2, et des tablettes telles que la tablette 4, en matière transparente ou translucide.In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, a adjustable shelf according to the present invention comprises, so general, posterior amounts such as amounts 1 and 2, removable sleepers such as sleeper 3, means of fixing the crosspieces 3 to the rear uprights 1 and 2, and tablets such as tablet 4, made of transparent material or translucent.

La tablette 4 est tenue, selon son bord postérieur 5, de préférence sur toute sa longueur, par la traverse 3. Ainsi, il n'est pas besoin de prévoir des montants antérieurs ou des cornières tenant les bords latéraux 6 et 7 de la tablette 4.The shelf 4 is held, along its rear edge 5, of preferably over its entire length, through the cross member 3. Thus, it no need to anticipate previous amounts or angles holding the side edges 6 and 7 of the shelf 4.

Le chant antérieur 8 de la tablette 4 est lumineux, éclairé par une source lumineuse disposée dans la traverse 3.The front edge 8 of the tablet 4 is bright, lit by a light source placed in the cross-member 3.

Comme on le voit plus en détail sur la figure 2, la traverse 3 comporte une rainure longitudinale antérieure 9, conformée pour recevoir et retenir le bord postérieur 5 de la tablette 4. La tablette 4 est ainsi tenue par encastrement dans la rainure longitudinale antérieure 9, de préférence selon toute sa longueur.As seen in more detail in Figure 2, the cross member 3 has a front longitudinal groove 9, shaped to receive and retain the rear edge 5 of the shelf 4. The shelf 4 is thus held by embedding in the anterior longitudinal groove 9, preferably along all of its length.

La traverse 3 comporte en outre une chambre postérieure 10, communiquant avec la rainure longitudinale antérieure 9 par un passage 90, et conformée pour recevoir et retenir une source de lumière 11. Grâce au passage 90 de communication entre la chambre postérieure 10 et la rainure longitudinale antérieure 9, la lumière émise par la source de lumière 11 pénètre dans la tablette 4 par le bord postérieur 5, et se propage dans la tablette jusqu'au chant antérieur 8 qui est ainsi lumineux.The cross member 3 further comprises a rear chamber 10, communicating with the anterior longitudinal groove 9 by a passage 90, and shaped to receive and retain a source of light 11. Thanks to the passage 90 of communication between the room posterior 10 and the anterior longitudinal groove 9, the lumen emitted by the light source 11 enters the tablet 4 by the posterior edge 5, and spreads in the tablet up to the edge anterior 8 which is thus luminous.

Par le fait que la source de lumière 11 est placée à l'intérieur de la chambre postérieure 10 de la traverse 3, le montage de l'étagère sur le site d'utilisation est considérablement simplifié.By the fact that the light source 11 is placed at the interior of the rear chamber 10 of the cross member 3, the mounting the shelf at the site of use is considerably simplified.

De préférence, la chambre postérieure 10 et la source de lumière 11 occupent toute ou la majeure partie de la longueur de la traverse 3. En alternative, on peut prévoir plusieurs sources de lumière réparties sur la longueur de la traverse 3.Preferably, the rear chamber 10 and the source of light 11 occupy all or most of the length of the traverse 3. Alternatively, several sources of light distributed over the length of the cross member 3.

La traverse 3 peut avantageusement être réalisée à partir d'un profilé creux, ouvert à ses deux extrémités, la source de lumière 11 étant introduite par une extrémité. La paroi postérieure de la traverse 3 obture la chambre postérieure 10 et participe à la rigidité de la traverse 3 qui peut ainsi supporter les contraintes mécaniques et porter efficacement la tablette 4.The cross member 3 can advantageously be made from a hollow profile, open at both ends, the source of light 11 being introduced by one end. The posterior wall of the crosspiece 3 closes the rear chamber 10 and participates in the rigidity of the cross member 3 which can thus withstand the stresses mechanical and carry the tablet effectively 4.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 2, la source de lumière 11 est un tube de lumière fluorescente, engagé dans des pinces telles que la pince 12 élastique qui sont elles-mêmes tenues sur une plaque 13 insérée dans des rainures longitudinales 14 et 15 de la chambre postérieure 10. Le montage de la source de lumière 11 est ainsi facilité, pour le montage initial ou pour le remplacement ultérieur de la source de lumière 11.In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the light source 11 is a fluorescent light tube, engaged in pliers such as the elastic pliers 12 which are themselves held on a plate 13 inserted in grooves 14 and 15 of the rear chamber 10. The mounting of the light source 11 is thus facilitated, for the initial mounting or for the subsequent replacement of the light source 11.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures, les moyens de fixation de la traverse 3 sur les montants postérieurs 1 et 2 comprennent des extrémités de la traverse 3 conformées en crochets postérieurs 16 et 17 engagés respectivement dans des évidements antérieurs 18 et 19 des montants postérieurs 1 et 2.In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the means for fixing the cross-member 3 to the rear uprights 1 and 2 comprise ends of the cross-member 3 shaped as posterior hooks 16 and 17 engaged respectively in anterior recesses 18 and 19 of the posterior uprights 1 and 2.

Par exemple, les crochets postérieurs 16 et 17 peuvent être constitués par les extrémités d'une lèvre postérieure 20 se développant vers l'arrière et recourbée vers le bas, avec des interruptions respectives 21 ou 22 pour le passage du montant postérieur 1 ou 2. La lèvre postérieure 20 est disposée en partie supérieure de la traverse 3. For example, the rear hooks 16 and 17 can consist of the ends of a posterior lip 20 developing backwards and bent downwards, with respective interruptions 21 or 22 for the passage of the amount posterior 1 or 2. The posterior lip 20 is partially arranged top of cross member 3.

En partie inférieure, la traverse 3 comporte une nervure verticale 23 dont les extrémités longitudinales viennent en appui contre les faces antérieures des montants postérieurs respectifs 1 et 2. De préférence, la nervure verticale 23 comporte un élément postérieur d'appui réglable, tel qu'une vis 24, venant en appui contre le montant postérieur respectif 1 ou 2 pour faire pivoter la traverse 3 comme illustré par la double flèche 240, autour d'un axe horizontal postérieur matérialisé par les crochets 16 et 17 et régler ainsi l'inclinaison de la traverse 3 et de la tablette 4 qu'elle porte. La vis 24 est vissée dans un alésage taraudé de la nervure verticale 23, et son extrémité libre opposée à la tête porte contre la face antérieure du montant postérieur 1.In the lower part, the cross member 3 has a rib vertical 23 whose longitudinal ends bear against the anterior sides of the respective posterior uprights 1 and 2. Preferably, the vertical rib 23 has an element adjustable support posterior, such as a screw 24, coming to bear against the respective rear post 1 or 2 to rotate the cross member 3 as illustrated by the double arrow 240, around an axis posterior horizontal materialized by hooks 16 and 17 and thus adjust the inclination of the cross member 3 and the shelf 4 that she wears. The screw 24 is screwed into a threaded bore of the vertical rib 23, and its free end opposite the head door against the anterior face of the posterior upright 1.

La rainure longitudinale antérieure 9 présente une face d'appui supérieure 25 et une face d'appui inférieure 26 qui sont les faces intérieures respectives d'une lèvre supérieure 27 et d'une lèvre inférieure 28. La face d'appui inférieure 26 est décalée vers l'avant par rapport à la face d'appui supérieure 25 selon un écart antéro-postérieur. En avant de la face d'appui supérieure 25, la lèvre supérieure 27 de la traverse 3 est rehaussée, comme on le voit sur la figure 2. De même, en arrière de la face d'appui inférieure 26, la lèvre inférieure 28 est rabaissée.The front longitudinal groove 9 has a face upper support 25 and a lower support face 26 which are the respective inner faces of an upper lip 27 and a lower lip 28. The lower bearing face 26 is offset forwards with respect to the upper support face 25 according to an anteroposterior distance. In front of the support face upper 25, the upper lip 27 of the cross member 3 is raised, as seen in Figure 2. Similarly, behind the lower bearing face 26, the lower lip 28 is lowered.

Au voisinage de l'entrée dans la chambre postérieure 10, les lèvres supérieure 27 et inférieure 28 se rapprochent l'une de l'autre, pour former une butée inférieure 29 et une retombée supérieure 30 de part et d'autre du passage 90. La butée inférieure 29 limite l'engagement de la tablette 4 lors de sa pénétration dans la rainure longitudinale antérieure 9. La retombée supérieure 30 empêche le passage de la lumière rasante le long de la face supérieure de la tablette 4 en provenance de la source de lumière 11.In the vicinity of the entrance to the rear chamber 10, the upper 27 and lower 28 lips approach one of the other, to form a lower stop 29 and a fallout upper 30 on either side of passage 90. The lower stop 29 limits the engagement of the tablet 4 during its penetration into the anterior longitudinal groove 9. The upper fall 30 prevents the passing of grazing light along the face top of shelf 4 from the light source 11.

La conformation de la rainure longitudinale antérieure 9 permet ainsi un engagement oblique de la tablette 4, dans une position dans laquelle le chant antérieur 8 de la tablette 4 est surélevé par rapport au bord postérieur 5. Après engagement, la tablette 4 pivote vers le bas jusqu'à venir en appui simultané contre les faces supérieure 25 et inférieure 26. The conformation of the anterior longitudinal groove 9 thus allows oblique engagement of the tablet 4, in a position in which the front edge 8 of the tablet 4 is raised relative to the posterior edge 5. After engagement, the shelf 4 swivels down until it comes to simultaneous support against the upper 25 and lower 26 faces.

De préférence, on prévoit un moyen anti-glissement 31 disposé sur la face d'appui inférieure 26 et venant au contact de la face inférieure de la tablette 4 pour s'opposer à son extraction hors de la rainure longitudinale antérieure 9 de la traverse 3.Preferably, an anti-slip means 31 is provided. disposed on the lower bearing face 26 and coming into contact with the underside of the tablet 4 to oppose its extraction outside the front longitudinal groove 9 of the cross-member 3.

Par exemple, le moyen anti-glissement 31 peut être une tige de matière anti-glissement telle que du caoutchouc ou un néoprène, -engagée longitudinalement dans une rainure longitudinale ménagée dans la face d'appui inférieure 26.For example, the anti-slip means 31 can be a rod of non-slip material such as rubber or a neoprene, - engaged longitudinally in a longitudinal groove formed in the lower bearing face 26.

Les lèvres supérieure 27 et inférieure 28 qui bordent la rainure longitudinale antérieure 9 de traverse 3, sont conformées pour l'accrochage à la tenue de panneaux postérieurs suspendus 32 et 33. Ainsi, un panneau postérieur suspendu inférieur 32 comporte un crochet postérieur 34, placé au voisinage du bord supérieur du panneau postérieur suspendu inférieur 32 et engagé dans une rainure antérieure en crochet 35 de la lèvre inférieure 28. L'extrémité inférieure du panneau 32 vient en appui contre une lèvre supérieure (27) d'une traverse placée immédiatement au-dessous de la traverse 3.The upper 27 and lower 28 lips which border the anterior longitudinal groove 9 of cross member 3, are shaped for hanging on to the hanging rear panels 32 and 33. Thus, a lower hanging rear panel 32 comprises a posterior hook 34, placed in the vicinity of the upper edge of the posterior lower suspended panel 32 and engaged in a groove anterior hook 35 of the lower lip 28. The end bottom of panel 32 abuts against an upper lip (27) of a cross member placed immediately below the cross member 3.

De même, le panneau postérieur suspendu supérieur 33 vient porter, par sa zone d'extrémité inférieure, contre la lèvre supérieure 27 de la traverse 3.Likewise, the upper hanging rear panel 33 comes wear, by its lower end zone, against the lip upper 27 of the cross 3.

En prévoyant sur chaque montant postérieur 1 et 2 une série d'évidements tels que les évidements antérieurs 18 et 19, il est possible de régler la position en hauteur de chaque traverse 3 et de la tablette 4 qu'elle porte. Sur un même plan, plusieurs tablettes 4 peuvent être disposées côte à côte, avec leurs bords latéraux tels que le bord 6 venant au contact l'un de l'autre. On peut prévoir des tablettes 4 de forme rectangulaire, comme représenté sur la figure 1, pour une succession de tablettes en ligne. En alternative, on peut prévoir des tablettes 4 en forme de trapèze, permettant de positionner angulairement deux tablettes successives.By providing each post 1 and 2 with a series of recesses such as the previous recesses 18 and 19, it it is possible to adjust the height position of each cross member 3 and the tablet 4 which it carries. On the same plane, several shelves 4 can be arranged side by side, with their edges lateral such as the edge 6 coming into contact with one another. We may provide shelves 4 of rectangular shape, as shown in Figure 1, for a succession of shelves in line. Alternatively, one can provide shelves 4 in the form of trapezoid, allowing angular positioning of two shelves successive.

Les traverses 3 sont aisément accrochables sur les montants postérieurs 1 et 2, et elles restent aisément amovibles. Les tablettes 4 sont également amovibles, tout en étant efficacement retenues dans les traverses 3 respectives et en étant réglables en inclinaison. The crosspieces 3 are easily hookable on the posterior uprights 1 and 2, and they remain easily removable. The shelves 4 are also removable, while being effectively retained in the respective sleepers 3 and being adjustable in inclination.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures, l'étagère comprend en outre au moins un boítier tubulaire antérieur 36, fixé en face inférieure de la tablette 4 au voisinage de son chant antérieur 8.In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the shelf further comprises at least one front tubular housing 36, fixed on the underside of the tablet 4 in the vicinity of its previous song 8.

Le boítier tubulaire antérieur 36 comporte une paroi antérieure opaque 37, par exemple venant avantageusement en continuité du chant antérieur 8 de la tablette 4. La paroi antérieure opaque 37 reçoit par encliquetage un capot postérieur 38 en matière transparente ou translucide, constituant une zone postérieure transparente ou translucide de barrette antérieure 36. Une source de lumière 39 interne est disposée dans le capot postérieur 38, et diffuse de la lumière vers le haut, vers l'arrière et vers le bas du boítier tubulaire antérieur 36 comme illustré par les flèches 43 sur la figure 2. Cette lumière diffusée permet l'éclairage de produits disposés sur les tablettes 4 de l'étagère.The front tubular housing 36 has a wall opaque anterior 37, for example advantageously coming in continuity of the front edge 8 of the tablet 4. The wall opaque anterior 37 receives by clipping a rear cover 38 in transparent or translucent material, constituting an area transparent or translucent posterior of anterior bar 36. An internal light source 39 is disposed in the cover posterior 38, and diffuses light upwards, towards rear and down of the front tubular housing 36 as illustrated by the arrows 43 in FIG. 2. This scattered light allows the lighting of products placed on shelves 4 of the shelf.

Dans la réalisation illustrée sur la figure 2, la paroi antérieure opaque 37 est fixée à la tablette 4 par des vis 40 et 41, et est formée d'un profilé en aluminium. Le capot postérieur 38, réalisé sous forme d'un profilé en matière plastique, peut comporter des nervures 42 pour le maintien d'une source de lumière 39 de type tube fluorescent.In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the wall opaque anterior 37 is fixed to the shelf 4 by screws 40 and 41, and is formed from an aluminum profile. The back cover 38, produced in the form of a plastic profile, can have ribs 42 for maintaining a light source 39 of fluorescent tube type.
