AFFICHE PUBLICITAIRE ET DISPOSITIF ADVERTISING POSTER AND DEVICE
D'AFFICHAGE DES PANNEAUXPANEL DISPLAY
PUBLICITAIRESADVERTISING
La présente invention est relative à la réalisation d'une affiche publicitai constituée de bandes d'affiche qui sont destinées à être placées sur d panneaux publicitaires statiques ou à prismes rotatifs et à son dispos d'affichage pour la mise en place desdites bandes d'affiche. Les panneaux publicitaires recevant ce genre d'affiche, comportent une plurali de prismes rotatifs disposés côte à côte et tournant d'une fraction de tour auto de leur axe longitudinal par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif d'entraînement déc par exemple, dans le brevet européen n° 0539308 appartenant au demandeur.The present invention relates to the production of an advertising poster made up of poster strips which are intended to be placed on static advertising panels or with rotating prisms and to its display device for the installation of said strips of poster. The advertising panels receiving this kind of poster, comprise a plurality of rotating prisms arranged side by side and rotating by a fraction of a self-turn of their longitudinal axis by means of a driving device dec for example, in the European patent n ° 0539308 belonging to the applicant.
Les prismes rotatifs reçoivent sur chacune de leur face une bande d'affic constituant respectivement une affiche distincte qui est présentée lors de rotation des prismes.The rotating prisms receive on each of their faces a display strip constituting respectively a separate poster which is presented during rotation of the prisms.
Les panneaux publicitaires de ce genre comportent généralement des prismes base triangulaire qui permettent de présenter successivement trois affiches.Advertising panels of this kind generally have triangular prisms which allow three posters to be displayed successively.
A ce jour, l'affichage des panneaux publicitaires à prismes rotatifs est réali suivant quatre procédés différents.To date, the display of advertising panels with rotating prisms is carried out according to four different methods.
Le premier procédé d'affichage exige que les faces des prismes en aluminiu soient démontables. Les faces de chaque prisme sont démontées et emmené dans un atelier pour pouvoir remplacer les bandes d'affiche.The first display method requires that the faces of the aluminum prisms be removable. The faces of each prism are dismantled and taken to a workshop to be able to replace the poster strips.
Après nettoyage des faces, ces dernières sont montées sur un gabarit po permettre l'affichage à la colle d'une nouvelle affiche, suivant les techniqu usuelles des panneaux publicitaires statiques.After cleaning the faces, the latter are mounted on a template in order to display a new poster using glue, according to the usual techniques of static advertising panels.
Ensuite, il est nécessaire après les différentes opérations de séchage, découpe des bandes, de démontage des faces du gabarit, de transporter lesdit faces et les remonter sur le panneau publicitaire.Then, after the various drying operations, cutting of the strips, dismantling of the faces of the template, it is necessary to transport the said faces and reassemble them on the advertising panel.
On constate que toutes ces étapes sont beaucoup trop longues et pénibles po répondre aux besoins de la profession. Les trois autres procédés ont pour objet la pose des bandes d'affiche sur le si c'est à dire, directement sur le panneau publicitaire.We see that all these steps are much too long and painful to meet the needs of the profession. The other three methods relate to the installation of poster strips on the if that is to say, directly on the advertising panel.
Le procédé décrit dans le brevet d'invention EP 0644520 utilise des ét plastiques transparents qui sont fixés sur chaque face du prisme rotatif po constituer une enveloppe protectrice dans laquelle est introduite la ban d'affiche.The method described in patent invention EP 0644520 uses transparent plastics which are fixed on each side of the rotary prism in order to constitute a protective envelope into which the poster banner is inserted.
Cet étui plastique présente certains inconvénients en ce qui concerne, d'une p le fait qu'il altère le message publicitaire à cause de l'opacité ou des reflets lumière, et d'autre part le fait que la bande d'affiche glisse à l'intérieur de l'étui qui rend impossible la lecture du message publicitaire.This plastic case has certain drawbacks as regards, firstly, the fact that it alters the advertising message because of the opacity or light reflections, and secondly the fact that the poster strip slides at inside the case which makes it impossible to read the advertisement.
Le procédé décrit dans le brevet d'invention FR 2643487 utilise un appar électro-portatif qui permet simultanément d'enlever l'ancienne bande d'affiche de coller la nouvelle.The process described in patent FR 2643487 uses an electric portable device which simultaneously removes the old poster strip to stick the new one.
Cet appareil demande une formation particulière pour les afficheurs, et surt une adaptation des panneaux publicitaires.This device requires special training for displays, and also an adaptation of advertising panels.
Le dernier procédé est décrit dans le brevet d'invention FR 2740597. Il utilise outil de pose manuelle pour le retrait et la mise en place des bandes d'affiche chacune des faces des prismes rotatifs d'un panneau publicitaire.The last method is described in the invention patent FR 2740597. It uses manual installation tool for the removal and the positioning of the poster strips on each of the faces of the rotating prisms of an advertising panel.
Chaque face des prismes rotatifs comporte une rainure médiane qui per d'encliqueter et de faire coulisser une plaquette qui assure le positionnement la bande d'affiche à l'extrémité inaccessible ou la plus éloignée du prisme.Each face of the rotating prisms has a central groove which allows it to snap and slide a plate which ensures the positioning of the poster strip at the inaccessible or furthest end of the prism.
Dans les deux derniers procédés décrits ci-dessus, les bandes d'affiche reçoiv sur la face opposée à celle portant le message publicitaire un adhésif double fa permettant la fixation de ces dernières sur les prismes rotatifs.In the last two methods described above, the poster strips receive on the face opposite to that carrying the advertising message a double fa adhesive allowing the fixing of the latter on the rotating prisms.
L'utilisation d'un adhésif double face pour la fixation des bandes d'affic comporte certains inconvénients en ce qui concerne, d'une part la détérioration l'adhésif dû aux variations météorologiques, et d'autre part le traitement préala des surfaces de chaque prisme.The use of a double-sided adhesive for fixing the display strips has certain drawbacks as regards, on the one hand, the deterioration of the adhesive due to meteorological variations, and on the other hand the prior treatment of the surfaces of each prism.
En outre, on constate que la bande d'affiche munie de son adhésif définitivement détériorée lors de son retrait du prisme rotatif, ce qui empêc toute réutilisation sur un autre panneau publicitaire.In addition, it can be seen that the poster strip provided with its adhesive is permanently damaged when it is removed from the rotating prism, which prevents any reuse on another advertising panel.
La bande d'affiche et son dispositif de mise en place suivant l'invention visen remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus de l'art antérieur.The poster strip and its positioning device according to the invention aim to remedy the above drawbacks of the prior art.
La bande d'affiche et son dispositif de mise en place présentent les avantag suivants : • une fixation mécanique sans utilisation de colle sur le panneau, permettant la réutilisation des bandes d'affiche sur un autre panneau publicitaire,The poster strip and its positioning device have the following advantages: • mechanical fixing without using glue on the panel, allowing reuse of poster strips on another advertising panel,

La description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer :The description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example, will make it possible to better understand the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing:
Figure 1 est une coupe transversale illustrant un prisme triangulaire d'un panneau publicitaire dont les trois faces sont équipées d'une latte destinée à recevoir une bande d'affiche de l'affiche publicitaire suivant la présente invention.Figure 1 is a cross section illustrating a triangular prism of an advertising panel whose three faces are equipped with a slat intended to receive a poster strip of the advertising poster according to the present invention.
Figure 2 est une coupe transversale montrant une latte déformée par le dispositif de pose pour la mise en place des rabats du film plastique solidaire de la bande d'affiche formant l'affiche publicitaire suivant la présente invention.Figure 2 is a cross section showing a slat deformed by the laying device for the establishment of the flaps of the plastic film secured to the poster strip forming the advertising poster according to the present invention.
Figure 3 est une coupe longitudinale représentant le dispositif de pose pour la mise en place des bandes d'affiche sur le panneau publicitaire afin de réaliser l'affiche publicitaire suivant la présente invention.Figure 3 is a longitudinal section showing the installation device for the installation of poster strips on the advertising panel to produce the advertising poster according to the present invention.
On a montré en figures 1 et 2, à titre d'exemple, un prisme rotatif P de forme triangulaire qui est associé avec d'autres prismes de même forme pour constituer un panneau publicitaire pouvant présenter trois affiches publicitaires différentes.FIGS. 1 and 2 show, by way of example, a rotary prism P of triangular shape which is associated with other prisms of the same shape to constitute an advertising panel which can present three different advertising posters.
Le prisme rotatif P présente sur chacune de ses faces une rainure médiane R qui est prévue pour recevoir les moyens d'accrochage autobloquant S d'une latte L réalisée dans une matière plastique souple et élastique.The rotary prism P has on each of its faces a central groove R which is designed to receive the self-locking attachment means S of a slat L made of a flexible and elastic plastic material.
La rainure médiane R présente, de manière non limitative, un profil complémentaire à celui des moyens d'accrochage S, pour parfaitement assurer la fixation de la latte L sur la face correspondante du prisme rotatif P.The middle groove R has, in a nonlimiting manner, a profile complementary to that of the attachment means S, to perfectly ensure the fixing of the slat L on the corresponding face of the rotary prism P.
Les moyens d'accrochage S permettent l'encliquetage de la latte L sur toute la hauteur de la face correspondante du prisme rotatif P. En effet, la latte L est prévue d'une hauteur sensiblement équivalente à celle du support ou du prisme du panneau publicitaire.The hooking means S allow the latching of the slat L over the entire height of the corresponding face of the rotary prism P. In fact, the slat L is provided with a height substantially equivalent to that of the support or of the prism of the panel advertising.
On peut également prévoir que les lattes L présentent une largeur qui est de dimension supérieure à celle représentée en figures 1 et 2, pour venir s'encliqueter sur le support d'un panneau publicitaire statique présentant une seule affiche publicitaire. L'affiche publicitaire est constituée de bandes d'affiche A dont une face est imprimée d'une portion du message publicitaire. Chaque bande d'affiche A est collée sur toute sa hauteur, sur un ruban de film plastique semi-rigide à mémoire de forme F.One can also provide that the slats L have a width which is of dimension greater than that shown in Figures 1 and 2, to snap onto the support of a static advertising panel having a single advertising poster. The advertising poster is made up of poster strips A, one side of which is printed with a portion of the advertising message. Each poster strip A is glued over its entire height, on a semi-rigid plastic film tape with shape memory F.
Le ruban de film plastique F comporte des bords repliés formant deux rabats continus qui sont prévus sur toute la longueur de la bande d'affiche A.The plastic film ribbon F has folded edges forming two continuous flaps which are provided over the entire length of the poster strip A.
Les rabats du ruban de film plastique F s'étendent dans une direction qui est opposée à celle contenant la face imprimée de la bande d'affiche A.The flaps of the plastic film ribbon F extend in a direction which is opposite to that containing the printed side of the poster strip A.
Le ruban de film plastique F est, de manière non obligatoire, réalisé dans une matière plastique à mémoire de forme translucide.The plastic film ribbon F is, not necessarily, made of a plastic material with a translucent shape memory.
Ainsi, chaque bande d'affiche A solidaire du ruban de film plastique F est fixée sur le support d'un panneau publicitaire statique ou à prismes rotatifs P pour réaliser l'affiche publicitaire.Thus, each poster strip A integral with the plastic film ribbon F is fixed on the support of a static advertising panel or with rotating prisms P to produce the advertising poster.
On a représenté en figure 3 le dispositif de pose permettant, par exemple, la fixation des bandes d'affiche A solidaire du ruban de film plastique F sur la face du prisme rotatif P sur laquelle est préalablement encliquetee la latte L.There is shown in Figure 3 the installation device for, for example, the fixing of the poster strips A secured to the plastic film tape F on the face of the rotary prism P on which is latched the slat L.
Le dispositif de pose comporte un corps principal sur lequel sont montés libres en rotation dans sa partie inférieure deux galets épaulés 6, et dans sa partie supérieure, un galet d'appui 7 qui assure l'inclinaison du dispositif de pose lorsque celui-ci est placé sur la face du prisme rotatif P.The laying device comprises a main body on which are mounted free in rotation in its lower part two shouldered rollers 6, and in its upper part, a support roller 7 which ensures the inclination of the laying device when it is placed on the face of the rotating prism P.
Le corps principal est solidaire, entre les galets 6 et 7, de deux sabots symétriques 3 qui sont engagés sous les bords de la latte L, afin de les soulever.The main body is integral, between the rollers 6 and 7, with two symmetrical shoes 3 which are engaged under the edges of the slat L, in order to lift them.
Le corps principal comporte dans sa partie supérieure et au-dessus du galet 7 un rouleau caoutchouté 9 et des galets presseurs 5 permettant l'engagement de la bande d'affiche A solidaire du ruban de film plastique F.The main body has in its upper part and above the roller 7 a rubberized roller 9 and pressure rollers 5 allowing the engagement of the poster strip A secured to the plastic film ribbon F.
Le corps principal du dispositif de pose comporte à proximité du rouleau 9, et du coté du galet 7, une plaque de guidage 4 qui se termine au niveau des sabots 3.The main body of the laying device comprises, near the roller 9, and on the side of the roller 7, a guide plate 4 which ends at the level of the shoes 3.
Enfin, le dispositif de pose peut être déplacé sur toute la hauteur du panneau publicitaire, soit manuellement au moyen d'une perche 1 qui est articulée autour d'un axe 2 monté entre les galets 6 et 7, soit de façon motorisée au moyen d'un chariot, non représenté, qui vient s'atteler à l'articulation à rotule 8 disposée au- dessus du rouleau caoutchouté 9.Finally, the installation device can be moved over the entire height of the advertising panel, either manually by means of a pole 1 which is articulated around an axis 2 mounted between the rollers 6 and 7, or in a motorized manner by means of 'A carriage, not shown, which is hitched to the ball joint 8 arranged above the rubberized roller 9.
La mise en place et la retenue de la bande d'affiche A solidaire du ruban de film F sur le prisme rotatif d'un panneau publicitaire tournant, ou sur le support d'un panneau publicitaire statique au moyen du dispositif de pose, se comprend aisément de la description ci-dessus. Le dispositif de pose est placé, par exemple, dans la partie inférieure d'un prisme rotatif P de manière que, d'une part les galets 6 et 7 soient en appuis contre la latte souple L, et d'autre par les sabots 3 soient engagés sous les bords de la latte souple L pour déformer cette dernière entre les galets 6 et 7.The placement and retention of the poster strip A secured to the film ribbon F on the rotating prism of a rotating advertising panel, or on the support of a static advertising panel by means of the installation device, is understandable easily from the description above. The laying device is placed, for example, in the lower part of a rotary prism P so that, on the one hand the rollers 6 and 7 are in abutment against the flexible batten L, and on the other by the shoes 3 are engaged under the edges of the flexible batten L to deform the latter between the rollers 6 and 7.
Une bande d'affiche A solidaire du ruban de film F est introduite entre le rouleau caoutchouté 9 et les galets presseurs 5, jusqu'à son alignement avec l'extrémité inférieure de la latte L située dans la partie inférieure du prisme P.A poster strip A integral with the film ribbon F is introduced between the rubberized roller 9 and the pressure rollers 5, until it is aligned with the lower end of the slat L situated in the lower part of the prism P.
Lors de la mise en place de la bande d'affiche A solidaire du ruban de film F sur le dispositif de pose, on constate que la plaque de guidage 4 permet d'ouvrir les rabats du ruban de film plastique F au-dessus des bords de la latte L qui sont soulevés par les sabots 3.During the positioning of the poster strip A secured to the film ribbon F on the laying device, it can be seen that the guide plate 4 makes it possible to open the flaps of the plastic film ribbon F above the edges of the batten L which are lifted by the hooves 3.
Les rabats du ruban de film plastique F viennent se refermer sous les bords de la latte L au niveau de l'interruption de la plaque de guidage 4 qui se trouve à proximité des sabots 3.The flaps of the plastic film ribbon F close under the edges of the batten L at the level of the interruption of the guide plate 4 which is located near the shoes 3.
On remarque que les rabats se referment automatiquement sous les bords de la lattes L du fait des caractéristiques à mémoire de forme du ruban de film F.Note that the flaps close automatically under the edges of the slats L due to the shape memory characteristics of the film ribbon F.
Le déplacement du dispositif de pose sur toute la hauteur du prisme rotatif P permet la mise en place et la retenue de la bande d'affiche A solidaire du ruban de film F sur ce dernier. On note que la latte L s'abaisse après le passage du dispositif de pose pour pincer et bloquer les rabats du ruban de film F entre ladite latte et la face du prisme.The displacement of the laying device over the entire height of the rotary prism P allows the positioning and retention of the poster strip A secured to the film ribbon F on the latter. Note that the slat L is lowered after the passage of the laying device to pinch and lock the flaps of the film ribbon F between said slat and the face of the prism.
En conclusion, le dispositif de pose pour la mise en place et la retenue de l'affiche publicitaire comporte :In conclusion, the installation device for the installation and retention of the advertising poster comprises:
• deux sabots symétriques (3) qui soulèvent les bords de la latte plastique (L) ;• two symmetrical shoes (3) which lift the edges of the plastic slat (L);
• un rouleau caoutchouté (9) et des galets presseurs (5) permettant l'engagement de la bande d'affiche (A) solidaire du ruban plastique (F) ;• a rubberized roller (9) and pressure rollers (5) allowing the engagement of the poster strip (A) secured to the plastic tape (F);
• une plaque de guidage (4) qui ouvre les deux rabats du ruban de film plastique (F), puis les libère au niveau des sabots (3) ;• a guide plate (4) which opens the two flaps of the plastic film ribbon (F), then releases them at the level of the shoes (3);
• deux galets épaulés (6) qui appuient et recentrent la bande d'affiche (A) sur la latte plastique (L) ;• two shouldered rollers (6) which support and refocus the poster strip (A) on the plastic slat (L);
• un galet d'appui (7) qui assure l'inclinaison correcte des sabots (3) sous la latte• a support roller (7) which ensures the correct inclination of the shoes (3) under the batten
(L) ; • et des articulations (2) et (8) pour l'attelage des moyens de déplacement du dispositif de pose le long de la latte (L).(L); • and joints (2) and (8) for coupling the means of movement of the laying device along the slat (L).
Ces étapes sont à renouveler pour chaque bande d'affiche A solidaire du ruban de film F constituant l'affiche publicitaire. Il doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple, et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits partout autre équivalent. These steps are to be repeated for each poster strip A integral with the film ribbon F constituting the advertising poster. It should also be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example, and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the details of execution described everywhere else equivalent.
