Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de présentation d'échantillons, utilisé notamment pour présenter une collection de tissu ou de papier.The present invention relates to a presentation device of samples, used in particular to present a collection of fabric or paper.

Il est connu dans l'art antérieur des dispositifs de reliure utilisés pour la présentation de tissu. La plupart de ces dispositifs comprennent une pluralité d'échantillons de tissus fixés sur une reliure par l'intermédiaire d'un système à vis. De même, la plupart des dispositifs de présentation d'échantillons de l'art antérieur nécessitent le démontage complet de la reliure pour enlever ou ajouter un échantillon. De plus, ils ne permettent pas la consultation des échantillons en les feuilletant comme les pages d'un livre.It is known in the prior art binding devices used for the presentation of fabric. Most of these devices include a plurality tissue samples attached to a binding through a screw. Likewise, most art sample display devices anterior require complete disassembly of the binding to remove or add a sample. In addition, they do not allow the consultation of samples by leafing through them like the pages of a book.

La présente invention a donc pour objet de pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant un dispositif de présentation d'échantillons permettant d'enlever ou d'ajouter un échantillon facilement et de consulter facilement les échantillons.The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a device for presenting samples allowing to remove or add a sample easily and to consult easily samples.

Ce but est atteint par le fait que le dispositif de présentation d'échantillons de tissus comprend une couverture comportant au moins deux articulations formant aux moins trois panneaux et autorisant la rotation des panneaux les uns par rapport aux autres, des moyens de solidarisation d'une pluralité d'échantillons, ces moyens de solidarisation étant fixés sur un premier panneau de la couverture, et des moyens de verrouillage fixés sur un deuxième panneau de la couverture collaborant avec les moyens de solidarisation pour bloquer en rotation les panneaux les uns par rapport aux autres avec une force déterminée, les moyens de verrouillage étant déverrouillables.This goal is achieved by the fact that the presentation device of tissue samples includes a blanket with at least two joints forming at least three panels and allowing rotation of the panels relative to each other, means for securing a plurality of samples, these joining means being fixed on a first cover panel, and locking means attached to a second cover panel collaborating with the joining means for block the panels in rotation with respect to each other with force determined, the locking means being unlockable.

Selon une autre particularité, les moyens de solidarisation comprennent un mécanisme à au moins deux anneaux, solidaire du premier panneau correspondant au panneau inférieur du dispositif, le système d'ouverture des anneaux étant, soit un système à levier, soit un système de liaison élastique des anneaux.According to another particular feature, the securing means comprise a mechanism with at least two rings, integral with the first panel corresponding to the lower panel of the device, the opening system of the rings being either a lever system or an elastic connection system rings.

Selon une autre particularité, les moyens de verrouillage comprennent un nombre de loqueteaux inférieur ou égal au nombre d'anneaux, ces loqueteaux étant fixés sur le deuxième panneau correspondant au panneau supérieur de la couverture et situés en vis-à-vis du panneau supérieur comportant le mécanisme à anneaux, lorsque chaque loqueteau est verrouillé sur un anneau.According to another particular feature, the locking means comprise a number of latches less than or equal to the number of rings, these latches being fixed on the second panel corresponding to the panel top of the cover and located opposite the top panel having the ring mechanism, when each catch is locked on a ring.

Selon une autre particularité, un troisième panneau de la couverture correspondant au panneau latéral comprend des moyens de préhension destinés au transport ou à la suspension du dispositif.According to another particularity, a third panel of the cover corresponding to the side panel comprises gripping means intended for the transport or suspension of the device.

Selon une autre particularité, la force déterminée de verrouillage des moyens de verrouillage est inférieure à la force de fermeture des anneaux, mais supérieure aux efforts de traction résultant du transport par les moyens de préhension.According to another particular feature, the determined locking force of the locking means is less than the closing force of the rings but greater than the tensile forces resulting from transport by means of gripping.

Selon une autre particularité, un échantillon est constitué d'un morceau de tissus comportant une pluralité de perforations au moins en nombre correspondant au nombre d'anneaux destinés à permettre la mise en place de l'échantillon sur les anneaux.According to another particular feature, a sample consists of a piece of fabrics comprising at least a plurality of perforations corresponding to the number of rings intended to allow the installation of the sample on the rings.

D'autres particularités et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront plus clairement à la lecture de la description ci-après faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue de côté du dispositif selon l'invention en position verrouillée
  • la figure 2 représente une vue de côté du dispositif selon l'invention en position déverrouillée.
  • la figure 3 représente une vue simplifiée et en perspective du dispositif selon l'invention.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will appear more clearly on reading the description below made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a side view of the device according to the invention in the locked position
  • 2 shows a side view of the device according to the invention in the unlocked position.
  • FIG. 3 represents a simplified perspective view of the device according to the invention.

Le dispositif selon l'invention va à présent être décrit en référence aux figures 1 à 3.The device according to the invention will now be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend une couverture (1) formée d'au moins trois panneaux (10, 11, 12) liés par des articulations (13, 14) de sorte que chaque panneau (10, 11, 12) est mobile en rotation par rapport au panneau adjacent. La couverture (1) est, par exemple, constituée d'une feuille de carton d'un seul tenant comportant au moins deux plis (13, 14), correspondant aux articulations de la couverture (1). Ainsi, les deux plis (13, 14) relient entre eux au moins trois panneaux (10, 11, 12). Cette feuille de carton est, par exemple, recouverte d'un matériau tel que de la toile, une feuille de PVC, ou du papier imprimé pour réaliser une décoration et/ou une protection de la couverture.The device according to the invention comprises a cover (1) formed of at least at least three panels (10, 11, 12) linked by articulations (13, 14) so that each panel (10, 11, 12) is movable in rotation relative to the panel adjacent. The cover (1) is, for example, made of a sheet of cardboard in one piece with at least two folds (13, 14), corresponding to cover joints (1). Thus, the two folds (13, 14) connect together at least three panels (10, 11, 12). This sheet of cardboard is, for example, covered with a material such as canvas, PVC sheet, or paper printed to decorate and / or protect the cover.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 à 3, le dispositif comprend 3 panneaux (10, 11, 12). Un premier panneau (10) constitue la surface d'appui ou le panneau inférieur du dispositif. Un deuxième panneau (11), adjacent au premier panneau (10), constitue un montant latéral du dispositif, la largeur du panneau latéral (11) correspondant à l'épaisseur du dispositif. Un troisième panneau (12), adjacent au deuxième panneau (11), constitue le panneau supérieur du dispositif, les dimensions du panneau supérieur (12) sont, par exemple, inférieures au panneau inférieur (10) de sorte que la forme générale de la section longitudinale du dispositif en position verrouillée corresponde sensiblement à un U dont une des branches parallèles est plus grande que l'autre et correspond au panneau inférieur de la couverture.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the device includes 3 panels (10, 11, 12). A first panel (10) constitutes the bearing surface or the bottom panel of the device. A second panel (11), adjacent to the first panel (10), constitutes a lateral upright of the device, the width of the side panel (11) corresponding to the thickness of the device. A third panel (12), adjacent to the second panel (11), constitutes the top panel of the device, the dimensions of the panel upper (12) are, for example, lower than the lower panel (10) so that the general shape of the longitudinal section of the device in position locked corresponds substantially to a U of which one of the parallel branches is larger than the other and corresponds to the lower panel of the cover.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif comprend des moyens (2, 21) de solidarisation d'une pluralité d'échantillons (3) à la couverture (1). Ces moyens (2, 21) de solidarisation sont fixés sur le panneau de la couverture le plus long et sont conformés pour permettre l'insertion d'une pluralité d'échantillons (3) de sorte qu'une fois insérés et lorsque le dispositif est en position déverrouillé, les échantillons (3) peuvent être aisément manipulés, consultés, et retirés des moyens (2, 21) de solidarisation, par un utilisateur, sans qu'il ait à effectuer de démontage du dispositif selon l'invention.According to the invention, the device comprises means (2, 21) for joining of a plurality of samples (3) to the cover (1). These means (2, 21) are attached to the panel of the longest cover and are shaped to allow the insertion of a plurality of samples (3) of so that once inserted and when the device is in the unlocked position, the samples (3) can be easily handled, viewed, and removed from means (2, 21) for securing, by a user, without having to perform disassembly of the device according to the invention.

Les moyens (2, 21) de solidarisation comprennent, par exemple, un mécanisme à anneaux, comprenant au moins deux anneaux (2) montés sur un support (21). Ce mécanisme (21) est similaire au mécanisme utilisé pour les classeurs à anneaux. Ainsi, le système d'ouverture des anneaux (2) est, par exemple, du type levier ou encore utilise l'élasticité du montage des anneaux (2) sur leur support (21). Le support du mécanisme à anneaux (2, 21) est fixé, par exemple par l'intermédiaire de rivets, sur la surface du panneau inférieur (10) opposée à la surface d'appui de la couverture (1), de sorte que les anneaux (2) soient sensiblement perpendiculaires au panneau inférieur (10). The securing means (2, 21) comprise, for example, a ring mechanism, comprising at least two rings (2) mounted on a support (21). This mechanism (21) is similar to the mechanism used for ring binders. Thus, the ring opening system (2) is, by example, of the lever type or else uses the elasticity of the mounting of the rings (2) on their support (21). The support of the ring mechanism (2, 21) is fixed, for example via rivets, on the surface of the bottom panel (10) opposite the support surface of the cover (1), so that the rings (2) are substantially perpendicular to the bottom panel (10).

L'insertion des échantillons (3) est réalisée en opérant dans un premier temps une perforation de chaque échantillon (3) en fonction de la position et du nombre d'anneaux (2) du mécanisme à anneaux, puis en enfilant chaque échantillon (3) sur les anneaux (2) les uns au-dessus des autres. Une fois tous les échantillons (3) souhaités mis en place, les anneaux (2) sont refermés. Ainsi, on comprend que la consultation ou la manipulation des échantillons (3) ainsi que leur enlèvement éventuel sont facilités par l'utilisation du mécanisme à anneaux. En effet, lorsque la couverture est en position déverrouillée (fig. 2) les échantillons peuvent être feuilletés en pivotant sur les anneaux (2) du mécanisme à anneaux. De même, lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite retirer ou ajouter un ou plusieurs échantillons (3), il suffit de feuilleter les échantillons jusqu'à la position souhaitée, puis d'ouvrir les anneaux (2) pour ajouter ou retirer le ou les échantillons souhaités. Ensuite, il suffit de refermer les anneaux (2). Un échantillon (3) est par exemple constitué d'un morceau de tissu dont les dimensions sont, par exemple, inférieures aux dimensions du panneau (10) inférieur.The insertion of the samples (3) is carried out by operating in a first time a perforation of each sample (3) depending on the position and number of rings (2) of the ring mechanism, then threading each sample (3) on the rings (2) one above the other. Once all the desired samples (3) put in place, the rings (2) are closed. Thus, it is understood that the consultation or manipulation of the samples (3) as well as their possible removal are facilitated by the use of the mechanism with rings. When the cover is in the unlocked position (fig. 2) the samples can be laminated by pivoting on the rings (2) of the ring mechanism. Likewise, when the user wishes to withdraw or add one or more samples (3), just browse the samples to the desired position, then open the rings (2) to add or remove the desired sample (s). Then just close the rings (2). A sample (3) is for example made up of a piece of fabric whose dimensions are, for example, less than the dimensions of the panel (10) inferior.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend également, des moyens (5) de verrouillage des panneaux (10, 11, 12) de la couverture. Ces moyens (5) de verrouillage sont fixés sur un panneau (12) de la couverture et solidarisent temporairement ce panneau (12) sur les moyens (2, 21) de solidarisation. Ainsi, en position verrouillée (fig. 1), les moyens (5) de verrouillage assurent le blocage en rotation des panneaux (10, 11, 12) les uns par rapport aux autres. Dans cette position, le panneau supérieur (12) et le panneau inférieur (10) de la couverture (1) sont, par exemple, parallèles entre eux, et le montant (11) latéral est perpendiculaire au panneau supérieur (12) et au panneau inférieur (10). La force de verrouillage des moyens (5) de verrouillage sur les moyens (2, 21) de solidarisation, est suffisante pour éviter tout déverrouillage intempestif, lors du transport du dispositif par une poignée (4) solidaire du montant latéral (11). Par contre, la force de verrouillage n'est pas suffisante pour empêcher un utilisateur de déverrouiller les moyens (5) de verrouillage afin, par exemple, de manipuler les échantillons (3). La force de verrouillage est également suffisante pour assurer le blocage en rotation des panneaux (10, 11, 12) lorsque le dispositif est suspendu par le montant latéral (11).The device according to the invention also comprises means (5) for locking of the panels (10, 11, 12) of the cover. These means (5) of locks are fixed on a panel (12) of the cover and secure temporarily this panel (12) on the means (2, 21) for securing. So, in the locked position (fig. 1), the locking means (5) ensure the locking in rotation of the panels (10, 11, 12) relative to each other. In this position, the upper panel (12) and the lower panel (10) of the cover (1) are, for example, parallel to each other, and the upright (11) lateral is perpendicular to the upper panel (12) and the lower panel (10). The locking force of the locking means (5) on the means (2, 21) of joining together is sufficient to avoid any untimely unlocking during the transport of the device by a handle (4) integral with the lateral upright (11). Through however, the locking force is not sufficient to prevent a user unlock the locking means (5) in order, for example, to handle the samples (3). The locking force is also sufficient to block the panels (10, 11, 12) against rotation when the device is suspended by the lateral upright (11).

Les moyens (5) de verrouillage comprennent, par exemple, une pluralité de loqueteaux (5), fixés, par exemple par l'intermédiaire de rivets, sur la face non visible du panneau supérieur (12) de la couverture, lorsque le dispositif est en position verrouillée. Les loqueteaux sont des pièces en forme de U dans les jambes duquel sont formés des logements retenant des billes sollicitées en permanence vers le centre du U par des moyens élastiques. Les anneaux viennent se loger en déplaçant les billes dans l'entrejambe du U et sont maintenus par les forces élastiques qui repoussent les billes après le passage de l'anneau, vers le milieu du U. Le nombre de loqueteaux (5) correspond, par exemple, au plus, au nombre d'anneaux (2) du mécanisme à anneaux (21), de sorte que chaque loqueteau (5) vient se verrouiller sur chaque anneau (2) du mécanisme à anneaux en position de verrouillage (fig. 1). On comprend que dans cette configuration, lorsque le dispositif selon l'invention est, par exemple, suspendu par le panneau (11) latéral, et est en position verrouillée (fig. 1), les loqueteaux (5) assurent le blocage en rotation des panneaux (10, 11, 12) de la couverture (1) ce qui empêche le déploiement de la couverture selon l'invention et facilite donc son transport. De plus, la force exercée sur les anneaux (2) par les loqueteaux, du fait de la gravité, n'est pas suffisante pour provoquer l'ouverture des anneaux (2). En effet, soit les anneaux (2) ne s'ouvrent que par l'intermédiaire de l'actionnement d'un levier, soit l'ouverture des anneaux (2) est provoquée par une force tendant à écarter les anneaux (2). Dans le premier cas, on comprend que la force exercée par les loqueteaux (5) n'agit pas sur le levier, par conséquent, l'ouverture des anneaux (2) est impossible. Dans le deuxième cas, la force de fermeture des anneaux (2) doit préférentiellement être supérieure à la force de verrouillage des loqueteaux (5). Ainsi, dans le cas extrême, par exemple, où le poids total des échantillons est supérieur au poids autorisé, les loqueteaux (5) se déverrouilleront avant que les anneaux (2) ne s'ouvrent. Ainsi, les échantillons (3) seront toujours maintenus par les anneaux (2). The locking means (5) comprise, for example, a plurality of latches (5), fixed, for example by means of rivets, on the non-visible face of the upper panel (12) of the cover, when the device is in the locked position. The latches are shaped pieces U in the legs of which are formed housing retaining balls permanently stressed towards the center of the U by elastic means. The rings are housed by moving the balls in the crotch of the U and are maintained by the elastic forces that push the balls back after the passage of the ring, towards the middle of the U. The number of latches (5) corresponds, for example, at most, to the number of rings (2) of the mechanism to rings (21), so that each catch (5) locks onto each ring (2) of the ring mechanism in the locked position (fig. 1). We understands that in this configuration, when the device according to the invention is, for example, suspended by the side panel (11), and is in position locked (fig. 1), the latches (5) block the rotation of the panels (10, 11, 12) of the cover (1) which prevents the deployment of the cover according to the invention and therefore facilitates its transport. In addition, the strength exerted on the rings (2) by the latches, due to gravity, is not sufficient to cause the opening of the rings (2). Indeed, either rings (2) only open by actuating a lever, either the opening of the rings (2) is caused by a force tending to spread the rings (2). In the first case, we understand that the force exerted by the latches (5) does not act on the lever, therefore, the opening of the rings (2) is impossible. In the second case, the closing force of the rings (2) should preferably be greater than the locking force of the latches (5). So in the extreme case, for example, where the total weight of samples is greater than the authorized weight, the latches (5) are will unlock before the rings (2) open. So the samples (3) will always be maintained by the rings (2).

Afin de faciliter le transport du dispositif selon l'invention en position verrouillée (fig. 1), celui-ci comprend, par exemple, des moyens (4) de préhension. Ces moyens peuvent être une cordelette ou un galon, fixé, par exemple, sur le panneau latéral (11) du dispositif pour former une poignée de transport. Ainsi, comme décrit précédemment, les loqueteaux (5) assurent le blocage en rotation des panneaux (10, 11, 12) de la couverture (1) lorsque le dispositif est suspendu par le panneau latéral (11), ce qui facilite son transport.In order to facilitate the transport of the device according to the invention in position locked (fig. 1), this comprises, for example, means (4) for gripping. These means can be a cord or a braid, fixed, by example, on the side panel (11) of the device to form a handle of transport. Thus, as described above, the latches (5) provide the blocking in rotation of the panels (10, 11, 12) of the cover (1) when the device is suspended by the side panel (11), which facilitates its transport.

Il est clair que d'autres modifications à la portée de l'homme du métier entrent dans le cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, les loqueteaux (5) peuvent être remplacés par un système de targette, déverrouillable manuellement par l'intermédiaire d'un doigt actionné par l'utilisateur. La targette est sollicitée en permanence vers sa position de verrouillage sur chaque anneau par des moyens élastiques. L'espace entre le panneau et la tige de la targette correspond à l'épaisseur de l'anneau.It is clear that other modifications within the reach of those skilled in the art are within the scope of the invention. Thus, the latches (5) can be replaced by a targette system, manually unlockable by through a user operated finger. The targette is requested in permanently to its locking position on each ring by elastic means. The space between the panel and the bolt rod corresponds to the thickness of the ring.

Pour améliorer l'esthétique, les rivets de fixation des loqueteaux ou targettes sur le panneau supérieur (12) sont cachés par un volet supplémentaire articulé à l'extrémité du panneau supérieur (12), replié et collé sur celui-ci pour cacher les rivets.To improve the aesthetics, the rivets fixing the latches or tabs on the top panel (12) are hidden by a flap additional hinged at the end of the top panel (12), folded and glued on this one to hide the rivets.
