Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a display device for in- or outdoor use e.g. for displaying information at exhibitions, in show rooms, in sales rooms, outside buildings and the like, the display device being intended for mounting on a supporting surface.
  • the display device comprises two display plates made of stiff but flexible material.
  • the display plates are made of cardboard, plastic, aluminium, steel or the like stiff flexible material.
  • the display plates are attached to each other along lateral edge regions.
  • the display plates are being spaced apart by a number of spacing means that is placed between the individually attached display plates.
  • the spacing means has the shape of an intended second, spaced apart display position that is different from a first collapsed transport and storage position.
  • the display device has a free lower periphery that may serve as a resting periphery for supporting the display device on a substantially horizontal surface such as a floor.
  • This display device has some disadvantages. Firstly, it is necessary to use individual spacing means for providing the intended second, spaced apart display position of the display device. This means that when having to store or transport the display device as example from one exhibition to another it is necessary to store and transport both the display plates and the spacing means. Secondly, when placing the display device in its display position at the exhibition to the second spaced apart display position it may need two persons to arrange the spacing means between the display plates. At least, after having arranged the spacing means between the display plates it needs fixing of the spacing means to the inner surface of the display plates to keep the spacing means in place in relation to the display plates. Thirdly, the spacing means may need to be made from another material than the display plates. The display plates has to be rather flexible but the spacing means must not be too flexible, otherwise they will not be able to maintain the display plates in the spaced apart display position. This means that two different kinds of materials may have to be used just to make one display device.
  • GB 436,046 describes a display device comprising a integrated display device with a plate being intended to be curved and constituting the display plate and semi-plates extending form edges of the display plate.
  • the overall width of the semi-plates are smaller than the width of the display plate in the un-curved state of the display plate so that when opposing edges of the semiplates are mutually joined the display plate will constitute a curved surface.
  • the mutual joining of the opposing edges of the semi-plates takes place by a means of a slot in the edge of the one semi-plate and a corresponding tongue along the edge of the other semi-plate.
  • the tongue has an over-length compared to the length of the slot.
  • This display stand also has some disadvantages. Firstly, the joing of the semi-plates by means of a slot and a tongue having an over-length makes it very difficult to join the edges of the semi-plates. The tongue has to be lingered into the slot, and this has to take place by overcoming the pulling force between the edges and while bending the display plate. This is very cumbersome and may be impossible if the display stand is very large and the person assembling the display stand has limited muscular force such as girls or women. Secondly, when the display stand has been assembled, the pulling force between the slot and the tongue may lead to the mutual joining being disrupted, at least during time, when the tongue has been lingered into the slot several times and the part of the tongue constituting the overlength of the tongue has been partly of fully damaged. Thus, there is the risk of the display stand suddenly collapsing. Finally, it will not be possible to provide a display stand having curved display plates at both sides.
  • This object is obtained by a display device having
  • the object is obtained by a display device having
  • the object is obtained by a display device having
  • the display device comprises an intermediate plate being a first plate and one or two curved display plates being second and third plates.
  • the intermediate plate has engagement means for maintaining the curved display plates in the display position, said engagement means being intended for being joined with other engagement means being provided at an opposing edge on the curved display plate.
  • the mutual joining by means of the engagement means of the present invention has the advantage that the joining is self-supporting. This means that there is no risk of the display device suddenly collapsing or being impossible to assemble because of the mutual joining no longer being able to maintain the individual plates in their intended mutual relationship. The mutual relationship will always be possible to establish and will always be maintained after having been established.
  • the intermediate plate and the one or two curved display plates have a mutual engagement, preferably by means of a folding line, along which they are mutually joined.
  • a distance that is measured from the mutual engagement, such as along the folding line, and to the engagement means of the intermediate plate is smaller than the width of the curved display plate when being in a collapsed position. This means that the distance from the mutual engagement, such as along the folding line, and to the engagement means of the intermediate plate is smaller than a distance from the mutual engagement to the engagement means on the opposing edge of the display plates.
  • the curved display plate is in a biased state when the display plates is in the display position. Because the curved display plate is of a flexible material then the curved display plates are being in a biased state when a force is applied to the plates. The force is applied when the engagement means of the intermediate plate is engaging the engagement means on the opposing edge of the display plates as an effect of the above-mentioned effect. The curved display plate tries to revert to the collapsed and plane state but the mutual joining of the engagement means of the intermediate plate and the engagement means of the opposing edge of the curved display plate exerts a biasing force towards the mutual folding line.
  • the biasing force keeps the distance between the mutual engagement of the plates such as along the folding line and the opposing edges of the curved display plates smaller than the width of the curved display plate when in a collapsed and plane state.
  • the biasing force and the possible curvature of the curved display plate may differ depending on the material that the curved display plate is made of and depending on the difference between the distance from the 5 mutual folding line and the engagement of the means of the intermediate plate and of the curved plates, respectively.
  • Preferred engagement means consist of though-holes such as slots provided in the intermediate plate and tongues provided at the opposing edges of the curved display plates.
  • the tongues are intended for protruding through the through-holes such as the slots and thereby maintaining the opposing edge of the curved display plates in place along an intersection line in relation to the intermediate plate.
  • Other engagement means of the intermediate plate and the engagement means of the curved display plates may be provided which are capable of maintaining the opposing edge in engagement with the intermediate plate along the intersection line.
  • the curved display plate is maintained in place by means of a biasing force it is only necessary for the engagement to prevent the opposing edge of the curved display plate from sliding away from the intersection line in a direction away from the mutual engagement such as along the folding line. Because of the biasing the opposing edge will always try to slide away from the intersection line in a direction away from as example the mutual folding line.
  • the curved display plate is not in a biased state when the display device is in the display position. In these embodiments there is no biasing force between the mutual engagement such as along the folding line and the joining of the engagement means of the intermediate plate and the engagement means of the curved display plate.
  • the preferred means of the intermediate plate and means of the curved display plate is capable of maintaining the curved display plate in place along the intersection line in both directions.
  • the display device may be provided with a rooftop, a tabletop or a chair seat on top of the display device. If the display device is of a limited height, as example is only 50 cm high, then the display device may be used as a chair if a plate or the like is placed on top of the display device. This demands for the display device when assembled to the display position to be made of a material that is capable of withstanding the vertical load from a person sitting at the chair seat on top of the display device. If the display device is of a larger height, as example is 100 cm high, then the display device may be used as a table if a plate is placed on top of the display device.
  • the display device when assembled to the display position to be made of a material that is capable of withstanding the vertical load from a person resting against the table top or from items being placed on the table top. If the display device is of a great height, as example is as high as 200 cm, then the display device may be used as an advertising column with a rooftop if a plate or the like is placed on top of the display device. This does not impose any demands for the display device when assembled to the display position other than being made of a material that is capable of withstanding the vertical load from the roof top and of any items that may be placed on the roof top.
  • the display device may be provided with one or more shelves that may support items such as product samples, brochures or other things related to the actual use of the display device.
  • the shelf of shelves may be horizontal when supporting as example product samples but the shelf or shelves may also be inclined when only supporting brochures and the like advertising material.

  • the curved display plates stretch along continuous shaped curves formed substantially as parables or as partial arcs of a circle. In altemative embodiments the curved display plates may stretch along other curvatures such as discontinuous partial squares or partial triangles.
  • maintaining of the outer edges b2, b3 of the curved display plates P2, P3 in relation to the intermediate plate P1 along the intersection of the plates is obtained by means of releasable engagement means a2, a3 in the shape of tongues (see fig. 2) provided at the outer edges b2, b3, respectively.

  • the curved display plates P1, P2 are maintained in place between the outer edges b2, b3, respectively, and the intersection lines G1, G2. Because the width w2 and w3 of the curved display plates are greater than the widths w1 and w4 between the borde lines d1 and d4 and the engagement means a1 and a4, respectively, then the curved display plates is being applied a force in the direction of the plane of the intermediate plate P1. This results in bending of the sections forming the curved display plates P2, P3 so that the curvature of the plates is formed.
  • a rise H of the curved display plates P2, P3 is dependent on the ratio between the width w2 and w2 and between w3 and w4 (see fig. 2). The greater the ratio is the greater the rise H will be.
  • the slots a1, a3 along the intersection lines G1, G2 are provided at a distance from the border lines d1, d2.
  • These parts Q1, Q2 of the intermediate plate P1 may vary in size.

  • the border lines d1, d4 coincide with the intersection lines G1, G2.
  • the curved display plates P2, P3 constitute what seems to be a parable or a partial arc of a circle. However, other curvatures may be applied. If the curved display plates have one further folding line running parallel with the edges and running between the border lines d2, d3 and the outer edges b2, b3, then it will be possible for the curved display plate to form a triangle with the intermediate plate P1. If the curved display plates have two further folding lines running parallel with the edges and running between the border lines d2, d3 and the outer edges b2, b3, then it will be possible for the curved display plate to form a square with the intermediate plate P1. If the curved display plates have three or more further folding lines running parallel with the edges and running between the border lines d2, d3 and the outer edges b2, b3, then it will be possible for the curved display plate to form other polygons with the intermediate plate P1.

  • the front edge S2f is intended for resting at an edge E2 made in the curved display plate P3 (see fig. 10).
  • the shelf S2 also has a back edge S2b with a linear curvature.
  • the back edge S2b is intended for resting against the intermediate plate P1 (see fig. 11).
  • the shelf is provided with a small support R stretching substantially perpendicular in relation to the plane of the plate.
  • the support R is used for supporting items such as brochures or the like that may be placed on the shelf and thereby preventing the brochures from sliding down the inclined shelf.
  • Fig. 10 shows part of the cardboard for making the display device corresponding to the cardboard of fig. 2 before the cardboard is folded and the display device is in its display position.
  • two sides K for the inclined shelf (see fig. 8) is made in one of the sections intended for constituting the curved display plates P3.
  • the sides K are made by cutting out three, shown as full-drawn lines, of four lines making the shape of the sides and when the display device is in its display position folding the sides inwards along the fourth non cut side, shown as a dotted line (see fig. 8 and fig. 11).
  • the sides K has lower edges shaped with a non-linear curvature.
  • the cuts may be made so that the sides are larger or smaller depending on the size of the opening into the inclined shelf through the curved display plate.
  • sides are provided by making cuts and folding of the cut portion of the curved display plate. This demands for an individual shelf to be made.
  • Fig. 11 shows a sectional view of the inclined shelf S2 when inserted into one of the curved display plates P3.
  • the shelf S2 is supported by the edge E2 which is made in the curved display plate P3 when cutting the part of the section subsequently constituting the sides K. It can be seen that the front S2f of the shelf is supported by the edge E2 formed the curved display plate P3 and that the back S2b of the shelf is supported by the shelf resting against the intermediate plate P1 (see also fig. 8).
  • the shelf S2 has a maximum depth J2 that is a little larger than the rise H of the curved display plate P3 and a width v2 that is a part of the width W (see fig. 2) of the intermediate plate P1.
  • the width v2 of the shelf S2 is limited by the shelf being intended for placement symmetrically in the curved display plate and having a width of approximately the same magnitude of the brochures to be placed on the inclined shelf.
  • the width of the shelf may be smaller or greater depending on the size of and of the number of brochures that are to be placed on the inclined shelf. In the latter case, if the width of the shelf is perhaps the same as the width of the curved display plate, then the curved display plate will be divided into two parts, an upper part above the shelf and a lower part below the shelf and supporting the shelf.
