Abstract

The display unit consists of a pillar (1) e.g. of a plastic material, mounted vertically on a base (3) and having horizontal slots (71, 72, 73) in its side (91, 92) and front (93) surfaces to receive shelves (5). Each shelf has a recess (11) corresponding to the shape of the pillar, with its edges made to engage with the pillar slots. The width of the slots is slightly greater than the thickness of the shelves, so that the shelves are held at a slight angle in the slots, but too shallow for the displayed articles to slide off.

Description

L'invention se rapporte à un meuble de présentation et de distribution de produits, plus particulièrement destiné à former une tête de gondole ou un ílot.The invention relates to a display and distribution cabinet for products, more particularly intended to form a gondola head or an island.

Les meubles de ce type répondent à un cahier des charges en rapport avec une utilisation principalement centrée sur les campagnes de ventes promotionnelles.Furniture of this type meets related specifications with a use mainly centered on sales campaigns promotional.

En premier lieu, ils sont démontables pour être facilement remisés entre deux campagnes. En deuxième lieu, ils possèdent des étagères réglables en hauteur par rapport à la direction verticale du meuble pour s'adapter d'une campagne à l'autre à des produits de formes différentes. En troisième lieu, ils possèdent un faux fond pour créer l'illusion d'un remplissage complet des étagères et engendrer un réflexe de vente par effet de masse. En quatrième lieu, ils sont capables de former un ílot de présentation et de distribution indépendant d'une gondole.First, they can be dismantled to be easily stored between two campaigns. Second, they have adjustable shelves relative to the vertical direction of the furniture to adapt from one campaign to another to products of different shapes. Third, they have a false bottom for create the illusion of a complete filling of the shelves and generate a sales reflex by mass effect. Fourth, they are able to form an island of presentation and independent distribution of a gondola.

On connaít des meubles de présentation et de distribution répondant à ce cahier des charges comprenant des montants en général métalliques assemblés par visserie pour servir de support rigide à des étagères. Les montants sont pourvus d'ouvertures dans lesquelles des équerres viennent se crocheter pour soutenir les étagères disposées dessus. Les ouvertures sont réparties régulièrement le long des montants pour le réglage en hauteur des étagères. Un faux fond est rapporté à l'arrière du meuble sur chaque étagère.We know presentation and distribution furniture that meets this specifications including generally metal uprights assembled by hardware to serve as a rigid support for shelves. Amounts are provided openings in which brackets are hooked to support the shelves arranged above. The openings are distributed regularly along the uprights for height adjustment of shelves. A false background is reported to the back of the cabinet on each shelf.

Bien que d'une utilisation assez répandue, ces meubles se révèlent souvent fastidieux à monter et à démonter, compte-tenu notamment des opérations de vissage et de dévissage. De plus, les montants métalliques sont d'une taille relativement encombrante et leur manipulation n'est pas sans présenter des dangers. L'emploi des équerres apparaít aussi comme un inconvénient, en ce que ces pièces augmentent le nombre total des éléments du meuble et entraínent un arrêt de son montage en cas de perte de ces équerres. Les faux fonds rapportés sur chaque étagère présentent les mêmes inconvénients. La transformation de ces meubles en ílot alourdit encore les opérations de vissage des montants entre eux pour former une structure se maintenant en position verticale sans s'appuyer sur la gondole.Although widely used, these pieces of furniture are found to be often tedious to assemble and disassemble, especially taking into account the operations of screwing and unscrewing. In addition, the metal uprights are one size relatively bulky and their handling is not without presenting dangers. The use of brackets also appears to be a drawback, in that these parts increase the total number of pieces of furniture and cause the sound to stop mounting in case of loss of these brackets. The false funds reported on each shelf have the same disadvantages. The transformation of this furniture into island further increases the screwing operations of the uprights between them to form a structure maintained in vertical position without leaning on the gondola.

L'un des buts de l'invention est de répondre aux cahiers des charges des meubles de présentation et de distribution particulièrement destinés à former des têtes de gondole ou des ílots, en supprimant les inconvénients des meubles connus de ce type.One of the aims of the invention is to meet the specifications of the display and distribution furniture particularly intended for forming heads gondola or islets, eliminating the disadvantages of furniture known to this type.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un meuble de présentation et de distribution de produits destiné à former une tête de gondole ou un ílot, comprenant un pilier maintenu verticalement et une étagère soutenue par le pilier, caractérisé en ce que le pilier est pourvu d'au moins deux rainures disposées chacune sur un flanc du pilier dans un même plan horizontal dans lesquelles s'insère l'étagère par une échancrure de forme complémentaire au pilier.To this end, the invention relates to a display cabinet and distribution of products intended to form a gondola head or an island, comprising a pillar held vertically and a shelf supported by the pillar, characterized in that the pillar is provided with at least two grooves each arranged on a side of the pillar in the same horizontal plane into which the shelf is inserted by a indentation complementary to the pillar.

Les deux rainures permettent de soutenir l'étagère en répartissant la charge de remplissage entre deux zones d'appui du pilier. L'échancrure est de forme complémentaire au pilier pour permettre de soutenir l'étagère à l'aide de rainures peu profondes. En effet, la profondeur des rainures n'apparaít pas comme le paramètre déterminant la charge maximale admissible de l'étagère, mais bien le rapport entre sa surface de remplissage et la surface de son échancrure.The two grooves support the shelf by distributing the filling load between two pillar support zones. The notch is in shape complementary to the pillar to support the shelf with little grooves deep. Indeed, the depth of the grooves does not appear as the parameter determining the maximum admissible load of the shelf, but the ratio between its filling surface and the surface of its notch.

Des rainures de faible profondeur permettent de limiter la restriction de la section du pilier dans le plan horizontal et d'augmenter par conséquent sa rigidité à la flexion suivant la direction verticale. De plus, le pilier occupe la partie échancrée de l'étagère à la manière d'un faux fond créant l'illusion d'un remplissage complet de l'étagère par les produits à présenter et à distribuer.Shallow grooves limit the restriction of the section of the pillar in the horizontal plane and consequently increase its rigidity at the bending in the vertical direction. In addition, the pillar occupies the indented part of the shelf like a false bottom creating the illusion of a complete filling of the shelf by the products to be presented and distributed.

Il faut noter que le soutien de l'étagère par l'insertion de la partie échancrée dans les rainures des flancs du pilier supprime le recours à des équerres de support.It should be noted that the support of the shelf by the insertion of the part indented in the grooves of the sides of the pillar eliminates the need for brackets of support.

Selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention, les deux rainures sont disposées sur deux flancs parallèles et opposés d'une section rectangulaire du pilier et l'échancrure possède une forme rectangulaire complémentaire.According to one embodiment of the invention, the two grooves are arranged on two parallel and opposite sides of a rectangular section of the pillar and the notch has a complementary rectangular shape.

Par cet agencement, on répartit la charge de l'étagère de façon symétrique par rapport à la section du pilier. De plus, on bloque le déplacement horizontal de l'étagère perpendiculairement aux flancs du pilier.By this arrangement, the load of the shelf is distributed symmetrically compared to the pillar section. In addition, we block the horizontal displacement of the shelf perpendicular to the sides of the pillar.

Une variante du mode précédent d'exécution de l'invention consiste en ce qu'une troisième rainure est disposée sur une face avant du pilier dans le plan horizontal en prolongement avec les rainures des deux flancs, l'échancrure de l'étagère s'insérant dans les trois rainures. A variant of the previous embodiment of the invention consists of a third groove is arranged on a front face of the pillar in the plane horizontal in extension with the grooves of the two sides, the notch of the shelf fitting into the three grooves.

Cet agencement permet de répartir la charge de l'étagère sur un plus grand pourtour de la section du pilier. Il est particulièrement adapté à un chargement important de l'étagère.This arrangement allows to distribute the load of the shelf on a plus large circumference of the pillar section. It is particularly suitable for loading important from the shelf.

Il est prévu selon une première forme avantageuse de l'invention que le pilier comprenne une série de rainures disposées dans des plans horizontaux superposés.It is provided according to a first advantageous form of the invention that the pillar includes a series of grooves arranged in horizontal planes superimposed.

Cet agencement permet au pilier de soutenir plusieurs étagères chacune insérée dans les rainures d'un des plans horizontaux et de régler la position des étagères à une hauteur voulue suivant la direction verticale du pilier. De préférence, deux plans horizontaux successifs sont espacés d'un pas de l'ordre de la profondeur des rainures perpendiculairement aux flancs du pilier.This arrangement allows the pillar to support several shelves each inserted into the grooves of one of the horizontal planes and adjust the position of the shelves at a desired height in the vertical direction of the pillar. Preferably, two successive horizontal planes are spaced one step apart on the order of depth grooves perpendicular to the sides of the pillar.

La faible profondeur des rainures, résultant du soutien des étagères par leur partie échancrée de forme complémentaire au pilier, permet d'espacer les plans horizontaux d'un pas relativement faible également. On augmente ainsi le nombre de possibilités de réglage en hauteur des étagères.The shallow depth of the grooves, resulting from the support of the shelves by their notched part in a shape complementary to the pillar, allows to space the plans also relatively small horizontally. This increases the number of shelf height adjustment possibilities.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation illustré par les dessins.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading of the detailed description of an embodiment illustrated by the drawings.

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un meuble de présentation et de distribution de produits s'étendant suivant une direction verticale.Figure 1 is a perspective view of a display cabinet and distribution of products extending in a vertical direction.

La figure 2 montre le meuble de la figure 1 en vue de coupe longitudinale partielle suivant la direction verticale.Figure 2 shows the cabinet of Figure 1 in longitudinal section view partial in the vertical direction.

La figure 3 montre le meuble de la figure 1 en vue de côté partielle suivant la direction verticale.Figure 3 shows the cabinet of Figure 1 in partial side view following the vertical direction.

Dans la suite de la description, un même élément porte une même référence sur les différentes figures.In the following description, the same element carries the same reference in the various figures.

Un meuble de présentation et de distribution comprend, figure 1, un pilier 1 maintenu verticalement et plusieurs étagères 5, 51 et 52 soutenues par le pilier 1.A presentation and distribution cabinet comprises, in FIG. 1, a pillar 1 held vertically and several shelves 5, 51 and 52 supported by pillar 1.

Selon l'invention, le pilier 1 est pourvu de deux rainures 71 et 72 disposées dans un même plan horizontal sur deux flancs 91 et 92 parallèles et opposés d'une section rectangulaire du pilier 1. According to the invention, the pillar 1 is provided with two grooves 71 and 72 arranged in the same horizontal plane on two flanks 91 and 92 parallel and opposite of one rectangular section of pillar 1.

Il est prévu de disposer les deux rainures sur deux flancs d'une section triangulaire du pilier, l'échancrure possédant une forme triangulaire complémentaire. Il est encore prévu de disposer les deux rainures suivant deux flancs d'un pilier de section semi-circulaire, l'échancrure ayant une forme semi-circulaire complémentaire.It is planned to arrange the two grooves on two sides of a section triangular of the pillar, the notch having a complementary triangular shape. he provision is also made to arrange the two grooves along two sides of a pillar of semi-circular section, the notch having a complementary semi-circular shape.

L'étagère 5 s'insère suivant la direction horizontale T dans les deux rainures 71 et 72 par une échancrure 11 de forme rectangulaire complémentaire de la section du pilier 1.The shelf 5 is inserted in the horizontal direction T in the two grooves 71 and 72 by a notch 11 of rectangular shape complementary to the pillar section 1.

La disposition des deux rainures 71 et 72, également visible sur la figure 2, permet de répartir la charge de remplissage d'une étagère 5 de façon symétrique par rapport à la section du pilier 1. L'échancrure 11 est de forme complémentaire au pilier 1 pour permettre de soutenir l'étagère 5 à l'aide de rainures 71 et 72 peu profondes. La restriction de la section du pilier 1 dans le plan horizontal des rainures 71 et 72 est ainsi limitée, ce qui contribue à renforcer sa rigidité en flexion suivant la direction verticale. Une forme creuse du pilier permet alors avantageusement de réduire son poids tout en garantissant une rigidité suffisante en flexion.The arrangement of the two grooves 71 and 72, also visible in FIG. 2, allows the filling load of a shelf 5 to be distributed symmetrically by compared to the pillar section 1. The notch 11 is of complementary shape to the pillar 1 to support the shelf 5 using grooves 71 and 72 shallow. The restriction of the section of pillar 1 in the horizontal plane of the grooves 71 and 72 is thus limited, which contributes to strengthening its bending stiffness in the direction vertical. A hollow form of the pillar then advantageously makes it possible to reduce its weight while ensuring sufficient rigidity in bending.

A titre d'exemple d'exécution, la profondeur P des rainures 71 et 72 perpendiculairement aux flancs 91 et 92 est de 50 millimètres (mm) pour une distance D entre les deux flancs de 700 mm, soit un rapport de 7 %. La figure 1 montre deux étagères 51 et 52 ayant des surfaces de remplissage différentes, mais un rapport sensiblement identique de 33 % entre l'échancrure et la surface de remplissage. On prévoit pour le pilier un rapport entre profondeur de rainure et distance entre les flancs compris typiquement entre 5 % et 15 %, et pour l'étagère, un rapport des surfaces d'échancrure et de remplissage compris typiquement entre 20 % et 50 %.As an example of execution, the depth P of the grooves 71 and 72 perpendicular to the sides 91 and 92 is 50 millimeters (mm) for a distance D between the two sides of 700 mm, a ratio of 7%. Figure 1 shows two shelves 51 and 52 having different filling surfaces, but a ratio substantially identical by 33% between the notch and the filling surface. We provides for the pillar a relationship between groove depth and distance between the sides typically between 5% and 15%, and for the shelf, a ratio of the surfaces notch and filling typically between 20% and 50%.

L'échancrure 11 assure également un blocage de l'étagère 5 dans le plan horizontal des rainures 71 et 72 perpendiculairement aux flancs 91 et 92 du pilier 1.The notch 11 also blocks the shelf 5 in the plane horizontal of the grooves 71 and 72 perpendicular to the sides 91 and 92 of the pillar 1.

La figure 1 illustre une variante d'exécution de l'invention dans laquelle une troisième rainure 73 est disposée sur la face avant 93 du pilier 1 dans le même plan horizontal que les rainures 71 et 72 et dans leur prolongement. L'étagère 5 s'insère par son échancrure 11 dans les trois rainures 71, 72 et 73. Cette disposition des rainures permet de répartir une charge de remplissage importante de l'étagère 5 sur trois des quatre côtés de la section rectangulaire du pilier.FIG. 1 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention in which a third groove 73 is arranged on the front face 93 of the pillar 1 in the same plane horizontal than the grooves 71 and 72 and in their extension. Shelf 5 fits by its notch 11 in the three grooves 71, 72 and 73. This arrangement of grooves to distribute a large filling load of the shelf 5 on three of the four sides of the rectangular section of the pillar.

Comme visible sur la figure 1, le pilier 1 comprend une série de rainures S1, S2, S3... disposées dans des plans horizontaux superposés et espacés d'un pas R. Dans chaque plan horizontal, on a reproduit la disposition décrite précédemment, avec deux rainures 71 et 72 sur les flancs parallèles et opposés 91 et 92 du pilier 1 et une troisième rainure 73 disposée dans le prolongement des rainures 71 et 72. La série des rainures permet de régler la hauteur de l'étagère suivant la direction verticale du pilier 1 à la hauteur voulue.As shown in Figure 1, the pillar 1 includes a series of grooves S1, S2, S3 ... arranged in superimposed horizontal planes spaced one step apart A. In each horizontal plane, the arrangement described above has been reproduced, with two grooves 71 and 72 on the parallel and opposite sides 91 and 92 of the pillar 1 and a third groove 73 arranged in the extension of the grooves 71 and 72. The series of grooves adjusts the height of the shelf in the vertical direction Pillar 1 at the desired height.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 2, les rainures 71 et 72 ont une hauteur H ajustée à l'épaisseur E de l'étagère 5 pour assurer un maintien par encastrement de l'échancrure 11 de l'étagère dans les rainures. Il en résulte un blocage rigide de l'étagère, rendant toutefois son retrait assez difficile.In the example of FIG. 2, the grooves 71 and 72 have a height H adjusted to the thickness E of the shelf 5 to ensure a fixed support of the notch 11 of the shelf in the grooves. This results in a rigid blockage of the shelf, however making removal quite difficult.

Dans une forme particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, illustrée à l'aide de la figure 3, les rainures 71 ou 72 possèdent suivant la direction verticale du pilier une hauteur H légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur E de l'étagère 5 suivant la même direction. La hauteur H légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur E permet d'insérer l'étagère 5 par glissement le long des deux rainures 71 et 72. Cette forme de réalisation de l'invention apporte une grande facilité dans la manipulation des étagères, pour les insérer dans les rainures comme pour les retirer.In a particularly advantageous form of the invention, illustrated in using FIG. 3, the grooves 71 or 72 have in the vertical direction of the pillar a height H slightly greater than the thickness E of the shelf 5 according to the same direction. The height H slightly greater than the thickness E makes it possible to insert the shelf 5 by sliding along the two grooves 71 and 72. This form of realization of the invention provides great ease in handling shelves, to insert them in the grooves as well as to remove them.

De préférence, la hauteur H des rainures 71 et 72 et la longueur d'insertion L de l'étagère le long des flancs 91 et 92 du pilier 1 sont choisies pour maintenir une inclinaison de l'étagère par rapport à la direction verticale du pilier en dessous d'une inclinaison de glissement de l'étagère sous charge. En dessous de l'inclinaison de glissement, l'étagère sous charge est retenue dans les deux rainures par frottement. L'inclinaison de glissement sous charge est d'autant plus faible que la charge est plus importante. On choisit par conséquent une longueur d'insertion de l'étagère dans les rainures le long des flancs du pilier d'autant plus importante que l'étagère est plus chargée, de façon à maintenir l'inclinaison en dessous de la limite de glissement.Preferably, the height H of the grooves 71 and 72 and the insertion length L of the shelf along the sides 91 and 92 of pillar 1 are chosen to maintain a inclination of the shelf in relation to the vertical direction of the pillar below a sliding inclination of the shelf under load. Below the tilt of sliding, the shelf under load is retained in the two grooves by friction. The inclination of sliding under load is lower the more the load important. We therefore choose an insertion length of the shelf in the grooves along the sides of the pillar the more important the more the shelf loaded, so as to maintain the inclination below the slip limit.

Le rapport entre la hauteur et la longueur des rainures permet ainsi un autoblocage de l'étagère après son insertion par glissement. Il faut noter que l'autoblocage supprime tout dispositif de fixation de l'étagère au pilier. On peut prévoir de disposer dans la profondeur des rainures une bille montée rétractable contre le rappel d'un ressort s'insérant dans une cavité formée dans l'épaisseur de l'échancrure de l'étagère pour assurer un blocage préliminaire de l'étagère à vide. Le rappel du ressort est choisi suffisamment faible pour ne pas gêner l'insertion et le retrait facile de l'étagère à vide, et devient négligeable devant le frottement assurant le blocage de l'étagère sous charge en dessous de l'inclinaison de glissement. The ratio between the height and the length of the grooves thus allows a self-locking of the shelf after its insertion by sliding. It should be noted that the self-locking eliminates any device for fixing the shelf to the pillar. We can predict to have in the depth of the grooves a retractable ball mounted against the return of a spring fitting into a cavity formed in the thickness of the notch of the shelf to ensure a preliminary blocking of the vacuum shelf. The reminder of spring is chosen weak enough not to hinder the easy insertion and removal of the empty shelf, and becomes negligible in front of the friction ensuring the blocking of the shelf under load below the tilt angle.

Le pilier est de forme pleine ou creuse. De préférence, c'est une pièce monobloc moulée en matière plastique, comme par exemple un polyester, qui présente une rigidité mécanique en flexion dans la direction verticale relativement importante pour un poids relativement faible.The pillar is solid or hollow. Preferably, it is a room one-piece molded plastic, such as polyester, which has mechanical rigidity in bending in the vertical direction relatively important for a relatively low weight.

La plus grande légèreté du pilier par rapport à une pièce en métal ou en bois contribue à un montage et à un démontage plus aisés du meuble de présentation et de distribution. De plus, le pilier en matière plastique est moins sensible aux dégradations lors de son remisage entre deux utilisations du meuble.The greater lightness of the pillar compared to a metal or wood contributes to easier assembly and disassembly of the display cabinet and distribution. In addition, the plastic pillar is less sensitive to damage during storage between two uses of the furniture.

Il faut noter que la faible profondeur des rainures est avantageuse pour la fabrication du pilier par moulage de matière plastique. Les rainures sont ainsi obtenues à l'aide de moules présentant une cannelure dont le pas fixe celui de la série des rainures suivant la direction longitudinale du pilier.It should be noted that the shallow depth of the grooves is advantageous for the manufacture of the abutment by plastic molding. The grooves are thus obtained using molds having a groove whose pitch fixes that of the series of grooves in the longitudinal direction of the pillar.

Le pilier est maintenu verticalement par un socle 3 posé au sol. Avantageusement, le socle 3 présente une échancrure 31 de forme complémentaire au pilier 1 s'insérant dans une rainure du pilier de hauteur égale à l'épaisseur du socle. Il est prévu de munir l'échancrure 31 de plusieurs rainures de façon à ce que chaque front saillant entre deux rainures de l'échancrure s'insère dans une rainure du pilier pour accroítre le soutien vertical du pilier 1 par le socle 3.The pillar is held vertically by a base 3 placed on the ground. Advantageously, the base 3 has a notch 31 of complementary shape to pillar 1 fitting into a groove of the pillar of height equal to the thickness of the base. It is planned to provide the notch 31 with several grooves so that each protruding front between two grooves in the notch fits into a groove in the pillar to increase the vertical support of the pillar 1 by the base 3.

Le meuble de présentation et de distribution de produits est utilisé en tant que tête de gondole ou en tant qu'ílot. Un ílot comprend un meuble de présentation et de distribution, dans lequel une première et une deuxième étagères s'insèrent dans les rainures respectivement par une face avant et par une face arrière du pilier pour permettre une présentation et une distribution des produits sur tout le pourtour du pilier. On peut régler les étagères de la face avant à une même hauteur que celles de la face arrière, ou préférer des étagères avant et arrière réglées à des hauteurs différentes.The product display and distribution cabinet is used as as a gondola head or as an island. An island includes a display cabinet and distribution, in which a first and a second shelf are inserted in the grooves respectively by a front face and by a rear face of the pillar for allow presentation and distribution of products all around the pillar. The shelves on the front can be adjusted to the same height as those on the rear side, or prefer front and rear shelves adjusted to heights different.

Selon une autre forme d'exécution avantageuse de l'invention, on réalise un ílot de distribution et de présentation de produits en disposant deux meubles de présentation ou de distribution l'un contre l'autre. Comme dans le cas précédent, les deux meubles ont des étagères réglées à des hauteurs égales ou différentes.According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, one realizes an island for distribution and presentation of products with two pieces of furniture presentation or distribution against each other. As in the previous case, the two pieces of furniture have shelves adjusted to equal or different heights.
