Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Preis- und/oder Produktinformationsträgers, bestehend aus einem langgestreckten Halteprofil mit jeweils einer Aufnahmenut im Bereich der oberen und unteren Längskante des Halteprofils, wobei der obere Randbereich und der untere Randbereich des Preis- und/oder Produktinformationsträgers in die Aufnahmenuten einsetzbar sind.The invention relates to a device for receiving a price and / or Product information carrier, consisting of an elongated holding profile each with a receiving groove in the upper and lower longitudinal edge the retaining profile, wherein the upper edge region and the lower edge region of Price and / or product information carrier can be used in the grooves are.

Eine Vorrichtung mit den obengenannten Merkmalen ist bereits aus der WO 98/40868 bekannt geworden. Ein Nachteil dieser bekannten Lösung zeigt sich einerseits dann, wenn Preis- und/oder Produktinformationsträger aus einem relativ dünnen Papier- oder Plastikmaterial an dem Halteprofil befestigt werden sollen. Es besteht dann die Gefahr, daß sich das dünne Papier bzw. das Plastikmaterial wellt, wenn es an der ebenen Seitenfläche des Halteprofils lediglich von Aufnahmenuten im oberen und unteren Endbereich gehalten wird. Regelmäßig ist es bei Verwendung der in der Internationalen Patentanmeldung beschriebenen Lösung erforderlich, den Träger zuerst einmal glatt gegen die Seitenfläche des Halteprofils zu streichen. Damit er dann verläßlich in dieser Position gehalten wird, müssen der obere und der untere Seitenbereich des Trägers von den Aufnahmenuten des Halteprofils klemmend gehalten werden. Sind die Aufnahmenuten aber derart ausgestaltet, daß sie selbst dünne Träger klemmend halten können, ist es problematisch, Träger mit einer größeren Dicke in die Aufnahmenuten einzufügen. A device with the above features is already known from WO 98/40868 become known. A disadvantage of this known solution is evident on the one hand, then, if price and / or product information carrier from a relatively thin paper or plastic material are attached to the holding profile should. There is then the danger that the thin paper or Plastic material curls when it rests against the flat side surface of the retaining profile is held only by receiving grooves in the upper and lower end. Regularly, it is when using the in the International patent application described solution first, the wearer smooth against the first To delete the side surface of the holding profile. So he is reliable in this Position is maintained, the upper and lower side area of the Carrier be held clamped by the grooves of the retaining profile. But the grooves are designed so that they themselves thin carrier it is problematic to have straps with a greater thickness to insert into the grooves.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kostengünstige Vorrichtung vorzuschlagen, die zur Aufnahme eines beliebig dicken, flexiblen Preis- und/oder Produktinformationsträgers geeignet ist.The invention is based on the object, a cost-effective device to propose, to accommodate any thick, flexible price and / or Product information carrier is suitable.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Seitenfläche des Halteprofils, an der der Preis- und/oder Produktinformationsträger befestigt ist, eine konkave Krümmung aufweist. Der Träger schmiegt sich an die konkav gekrümmte Seitenfläche des Halteprofils an und wird dort infolge seiner Eigenspannung gehalten. Unabhängig von seiner jeweiligen Dicke bleibt der flexible Träger in der gewünschten, an der jeweiligen Seitenfläche des Halteprofils anliegenden Position fixiert. Es erübrigt sich somit, die Aufnahmenuten derart auszugestalten, daß sie den oberen und den unteren Seitenbereich des Trägers einklemmen. Daher ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung für die Aufnahme von flexiblen Preis- und/oder Produktinformationsträgern beliebiger Dicke bestens geeignet.The object is achieved in that the side surface of the holding profile, on the the price and / or product information carrier is attached, a concave Curvature has. The carrier nestles against the concavely curved one Side surface of the retaining profile and is there due to its residual stress held. Regardless of its thickness, the flexible support remains in place the desired, applied to the respective side surface of the holding profile Position fixed. It is therefore unnecessary to design the receiving grooves in such a way that they the upper and the lower side of the carrier pinch. Therefore, the inventive device for recording of flexible price and / or product information carriers of any thickness best for.

Um das Halteprofil zur beidseitigen Aufnahme von Trägem aus Papier oder Plastik nutzen zu können, sind Aufnahmenuten zu beiden Seiten des Halteprofils vorgesehen. Weiterhin weisen beide Seitenflächen, an denen die Preis- und/oder Produktinformationsträger befestigbar sind, eine konkave Krümmung auf.To the holding profile for two-sided recording of carriers made of paper or To use plastic, are grooves on both sides of the Holding profile provided. Furthermore, both side surfaces, where the Price and / or product information carriers are attachable, a concave Curvature up.

Gemäß der Erfindung handelt es sich bei dem Halteprofil um ein extrudiertes oder im Strangpreßverfahren hergestelltes Hohlprofil.According to the invention it is the holding profile is an extruded or hollow profile produced by the extrusion process.

Zwecks Reduzierung der Materialkosten und Erhöhung der Stabilität ist das Halteprofil gemäß der Erfindung auch als Hohlprofil ausgestaltet, wobei das Hohlprofil durch in Längsrichtung verlaufende Stege in mehrere Kammern unterteilt ist.In order to reduce material costs and increase stability, this is Holding profile according to the invention also as Hollow profile configured, wherein the hollow profile by extending in the longitudinal direction Webs is divided into several chambers.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sieht vor, daß an der oberen und/oder unteren Begrenzungsfläche des Halteprofils zumindest eine Profilschiene vorgesehen ist, die zur Aufnahme von Befestigungsmitteln zur Befestigung des Halteprofils oder zur Befestigung weiterer Informations- oder Werbemittel an dem Halteprofil dient. Die Ausgestaltung derartiger Befestigungsmittel ist in Fig. 3 detailliert dargestellt. An advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention provides that at the upper and / or lower boundary surface of the holding profile at least one rail is provided, which is for receiving Fasteners for fastening the retaining profile or for attachment further information or advertising on the holding profile is used. The Design of such fasteners is shown in detail in Fig. 3.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, sind Endkappen vorgesehen, die mittels zumindest eines Klemmelements an den seitlichen Stirnflächen des Halteprofils befestigbar sind. Im einfachsten Fall arbeiten die Klemmelemente nach dem Steckprinzip.According to a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, end caps are provided by means of at least one clamping element the lateral end faces of the retaining profile can be fastened. In the simplest In the case, the clamping elements work according to the plug-in principle.

Während die Endkappen als solche vornehmlich die Optik des Halteprofils verbessern, kommt ihnen gemäß der im folgenden beschriebenen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung auch die Funktion zu, mehrere, zumindest jedoch zwei Halteprofile, miteinander zu verbinden. Hierzu ist zumindest ein Verbindungselement vorgesehen, das an den Außenflächen der Endkappen befestigt oder befestigbar ist, und das über die Endkappen zwei Halteprofile miteinander verbindet.While the end caps as such primarily the appearance of the retaining profile improve, they come in accordance with the advantageous described below Development of the device according to the invention also the function to, several, but at least two retaining profiles to connect with each other. For this At least one connecting element is provided on the outer surfaces the end caps are fastened or fastened, and that over the end caps connects two holding profiles together.

Insbesondere sind die Verbindungselemente als einsteckbare Scharniere ausgebildet. Derartige Scharniere, bei denen es sich bevorzugt um kostengünstige Filmscharniere aus Plastik handelt, erlauben es, die einzelnen Halteprofile in beliebigen Winkelkonstellationen zueinander anzuordnen. Um zwei Halteprofile mit Endkappen in Reihe miteinander verbinden zu können, genügt es, wenn zumindest ein weiteres Klemm-Nerbindungselement an der Außenseite der Endkappen vorgesehen ist. Bei dem Klemm-Nerbindungselement handelt es sich z. B. um eine Rastnase an der einen Endkappe und eine zur Rastnase korrespondierende Öffnung an der zweiten Endkappe. Das Klemm-/Verbindungselement ist auf jeden Fall in der Lage, die Endkappen von zwei miteinander zu verbindenden Halteprofilen Rücken zu Rücken aneinander festzumachen.In particular, the connecting elements are plug-in hinges educated. Such hinges, which are preferably to inexpensive plastic film hinges, allow the individual Holding profiles to arrange in any angle constellations to each other. Around to be able to connect two holding profiles with end caps in series, it is sufficient if at least one further clamping Nerbindungselement on the Outside the end caps is provided. In the clamping Nerbindungselement is it z. B. a locking lug on one end cap and an opening corresponding to the latching nose on the second end cap. The Clamping / connecting element is definitely capable of the end caps of two holding profiles to be connected to each other back to back moor.

Eine Alternative zu den als Einzelteilen-gefertigten Endkappen, die über Scharniere und/oder Klemm-Nerbindungselemente miteinander verbunden werden, besteht darin, daß jeweils bis zu vier zusammenhängende Endkappen als Einheit hergestellt werden Vorzugsweise werden bis zu vier solcher Endkappen als Spritzgußteil gefertigt. Die einzelnen Endkappen sind mittels flexibler, aber lösbarer Verbindungselemente miteinander verbunden. Bei den flexiblen, lösbaren Verbindungselementen handelt es sich wiederum bevorzugt um Filmscharniere. So lassen sich bis zu vier Halteprofile beispielsweise im rechten Winkel zueinander über die Endkappen miteinander verbinden. Jede weitere Anordnung von Halteprofilen läßt sich in einfacher Weise realisieren, in dem z. B. die Anzahl der Endkappen je nach Bedarf von dem Rest abgetrennt wird. Eine Auswahl der gängigen Anordnungen von Halteprofilen ist in den Figuren Fig. 8a bis Fig. 8g dargestellt.An alternative to the single-end caps that are over Hinges and / or clamp Nerbindungselemente interconnected be, is that in each case up to four contiguous end caps Preferably, up to four are produced End caps made as injection molded part. The individual end caps are by means of flexible but detachable fasteners connected together. Both flexible, releasable connecting elements are again preferred about film hinges. So can be up to four holding profiles, for example in Connect right angles to each other via the end caps. each Another arrangement of holding profiles can be realized in a simple manner, in the z. B. the number of end caps separated as needed from the rest becomes. A selection of the common arrangements of retaining profiles is in the Figures 8a to Fig. 8g shown.
