Description

The present invention relates to a portable advertising kiosk and removable made of light and waterproof material to be easily, without effort, assembled without the help of a tool and walked by one person and being covered with removable plates on which are fixed visuals in 2 or 3 dimensions can be quickly installed and placed on the support kiosk.

This invention, by using two optional elements, makes it possible to be able to be adapted quickly on a wheelchair.

This invention also makes it possible, depending on the assembly of the support kiosk. advertising, to be equipped with a traveling urn.

In advertising products currently intended for "sandwich men", poster holders are usually placed on the back and sometimes also in front the carriers, held on the pedestrians by straps, these poster supports are often very heavy and do not protect the people who wear, rain or sun. On the other hand, they are not adaptable on wheelchairs, or to have, if necessary, a traveling urn.

The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks, and, due to its design, offer a larger advertising display area with maximum comfort for the wearer.

These goals are achieved by achieving a light and waterproof material, kiosk shape, open on the sides and resting in balance on the shoulders of a pedestrian, sheltered under a roof, face protected behind an opening, in the shape of window, fitted with a visor.

This kiosk is open on the sides to allow the wearer to distribute flyers, samples or advertising gadgets.

Figures 10 and 11 of plate 4 represent, viewed from the front and in profile, a kiosk suitable for a wheelchair, including the optional rear element (14) and the element optional front (15) are fixed on the wheelchair in use position.

The kiosk's frame is made up of eleven distinct and separate elements, two of which adaptation options: the front (1) (Figure 3, plate 2), the backrest (2) (Figure 6, plate 3), the top of the urn (7) (Figure 7, plate 3), the roof (3) (Figure 8, plate 3), the adjustable shoulder pad (4) (Figure 9, plate 3) in which a hole is cut (22) for the passage of the wearer's head, and the edge of which is covered with a cylinder split foam (6) to protect the neck and shoulders, a panel display panel on the right (9) (Figure 2, panel 1) a display panel on the left (8) (not visible on board 1/4, figure 2), a spacer bar (10), a plate optional rear (14) (Figure 4, plate 10, and on which the wheel of the wheelchair wheelchair is not shown) adaptation on the back of a wheelchair and a optional front plate (15) (Figure 4, plate 11) for adaptation on the seat of a Wheelchair.

For their assembly the edges of the five elements (1) (2) (3) (4) (7) are bent at 90 °, along the lines (a> a ') and assembled together by screws (14) and nuts (15) "type butterfly ", in the holes (5) drilled and placed in correspondence between the elements to to assemble.

During the assembly of the kiosk without the urn function, the roof (3) will be positioned on top of the kiosk, the borders (17) will be directed upwards so as to form a basket in which can be placed advertising objects. The elements of the kiosk (3) and (7) having identical shapes, the roof (3) can be inverted with the top of the urn (7) which is placed, in the use only of kiosk (without urn function), just above the wearer's head. On top of the urn (7) a rectilinear slot (21) is cut to allow the introduction of answer bulletins and coupons that will be deposited in the interior volume of a box composed by the roof (3) which has become (by its low position) the bottom of the urn, the front (1), backrest (2), display panel on the left side (8) (not shown), and the right side display panel (9).

To recover the documents deposited in this urn, dismantling the top of the urn assembled by “butterfly” type screws and nuts (not shown), allows this operation easily by hand, without using a tool.

Two display panels at the top right (9) and at the top left of the kiosk (8, not visible Figure 2 plate 1), fixed on the sides of the roof (3), the facade (1), the backrest (2) and the top of the urn (7) using “butterfly” type screws and nuts (not shown), considerably improves the rigidity of the kiosk structure and closes the urn entirely, except the slot on the top of the urn (7), provided for the introduction of advertising response coupons.

The roof (3), the top of the urn (7) and the shoulder pad (4) have external dimensions, identical folds, and corresponding holes, making it easy to assemble and kiosk modifications.

The height of the face is adjustable according to the choice of mounting of the adjustable shoulder pad (4) during assembly and relative to the opening of the window (11), depending on whether the edges (17) of the adjustable shoulder pad (4) will be directed upwards or low, the position of the wearer's shoulders will be higher or lower compared to opening the window, this setting adapts the kiosk to the wearer's morphology, for its size or comfort.

In the adjustable shoulder pad (4), the hole (22) allowing the passage of the wearer's head being off-center in the front (1) and back (2) axis, the adjustment by the horizontal rotation 180 ° adjustable shoulder pad (4) restores balance to the kiosk on the shoulders of the wearer and to be able to compensate for the weight differences between the visuals removable front and rear and also adapt to the morphology and comfort of the wearer, who thanks to this balance on the shoulders, leaves the available hands of the holder for the distribution of prospectuses, reply coupons or samples advertising through the two openings, left and right, below the shoulder pad.

Adjustments are facilitated by the corresponding holes provided and drilled on all the parts of the kiosk to be assembled in which the screws are introduced and tightened by hand with "butterfly type" nuts (not shown).

The front (1) (Figure 3) is provided with a partial cutout (18) to allow, in lifting and bringing forward the part of the cut material (19) according to the line of dashes (b> b '), to clear a window (11) then, by folding and bringing it back this material backwards, following the dashed line (c> c ') to give it the shape a visor (12), this visor being held in place by gripping studs repositionable, on each side of the window (11), by two small tabs (20) made in the partial cutout (18).
