SUPPORT D'AFFICHAGE DESTINE A ETRE MIS EN PLACE DANS UNDISPLAY MEDIUM FOR MOUNTING IN A
DISPOSITIF DEROULANTUNWINDING DEVICE
Domaine Technique L'invention se rattache à l'industrie de l'affichage, et plus précisément au secteur de l'affichage animé fonctionnant par le déroulement d'une toile imprimée. Elle concerne plus particulièrement la structure d'un support d'affichage incluant plusieurs tronçons indépendants portant chacun une information à afficher.Technical Field The invention relates to the display industry, and more specifically to the animated display sector operating by the unwinding of a printed canvas. It relates more particularly to the structure of a display medium including several independent sections, each carrying information to be displayed.
Techniques antérieuresPrevious techniques
De façon générale, les dispositifs d'affichage dynamiques fonctionnent en faisant dérouler un support d'affichage sur lequel ont été imprimées au moins deux, et plus généralement trois affiches différentes. Cette toile est enroulée dans un sens puis dans l'autre, et immobilisée régulièrement pour que l'affiche imprimée soit correctement affichée à la vue extérieure.In general, dynamic display devices operate by rolling out a display medium on which at least two, and more generally three different posters have been printed. This canvas is rolled in one direction then in the other, and immobilized regularly so that the printed poster is correctly displayed to the outside view.
Dans une première famille de dispositifs déroulants, le support d'affichage est constitué d'une toile sur laquelle sont collées différentes affiches en papier. Cette toile s'enroule sur les rouleaux motorisés, en provoquant donc l'enroulement des affiches papier. On conçoit que cette première solution peut provoquer des plis lors de l'enroulement de la toile, ces plis pouvant à leur tour provoquer des blocages du système et donc l'interruption de l'affichage correct.In a first family of drop-down devices, the display support consists of a canvas on which various paper posters are pasted. This canvas is wound on motorized rollers, thus causing the winding of paper posters. It is understood that this first solution can cause folds during the winding of the canvas, these folds can in turn cause blockages of the system and therefore the interruption of the correct display.
Un perfectionnement à ce type de dispositif a été décrit par le demandeur dans le document WO 00/67243. Le dispositif d'affichage décrit dans ce document comporte des rouleaux sur lesquels s'enroule et se déroule une toile comportant les informations imprimées. Pour assurer un enroulement optimal, la toile support d'informations est maintenue sous tension transversale lors de son déroulement. Ce maintien en tension transversale assure également une bonne planéité de l'affiche, ce qui confère un bon aspect visuel à cette dernière.An improvement to this type of device has been described by the applicant in document WO 00/67243. The display device described in this document comprises rollers on which a canvas containing the printed information is wound up and unrolled. To ensure optimal winding, the information support fabric is kept under transverse tension during its unwinding. This maintenance in transverse tension also ensures good flatness of the poster, which gives it a good visual appearance.
Pour assurer ce maintien en tension transversale, la toile support d'informations comporte des lisières latérales équipées d'un jonc apte à coulisser dans des glissières fixes par rapport au dispositif déroulant. Le support d'affichage utilisé peut être par exemple en un film en matière plastique légèrement extensible, et qui a été imprimé. Plus précisément, plusieurs affiches successives sont imprimées les unes à la suite des autres sur cette toile.To ensure this maintenance in transverse tension, the information support fabric includes lateral selvedges equipped with a rod capable of sliding in fixed guides relative to the unrolling device. The display medium used may for example be made of a slightly stretchy plastic film which has been printed. More precisely, several successive posters are printed one after the other on this canvas.
En pratique, les dispositifs déroulants sont alimentés avec les toiles support d'information en fonction des durées des campagnes d'affichage. Or, pour certains produits et pour certains annonceurs, il peut s'avérer que les périodes ne sont pas les mêmes pour les différentes affiches présentes sur une même toile. Jusqu'à présent, il est nécessaire de remplacer l'intégralité d'une toile, même si une seule des affiches doit être remplacée. Cela nécessite donc une nouvelle opération d'impression des affiches qui ne sont pas remplacées mais reconduites pour des périodes successives. Ceci est notamment nécessaire pour conserver une structure d'un seul tenant en ce qui concerne les lisières latérales, qui doivent être continues pour correctement coulisser dans les glissières de guidage latéral et de maintien sous tension transversale.In practice, the drop-down devices are supplied with information support fabrics according to the duration of the poster campaigns. However, for certain products and for certain advertisers, it may turn out that the periods are not the same for the different posters present on the same canvas. Until now, it is necessary to replace an entire canvas, even if only one of the posters needs to be replaced. This therefore requires a new printing operation of the posters which are not replaced but renewed for successive periods. This is in particular necessary to maintain a structure in one piece with respect to the lateral edges, which must be continuous in order to slide correctly in the lateral guide rails and for maintaining transverse tension.
On conçoit que ces opérations d'impression sont superflues puisqu'elles consomment des quantités de toile et des ressources d'impression pour réaliser des affiches qui ont déjà été imprimées.It is understood that these printing operations are superfluous since they consume quantities of canvas and printing resources to produce posters which have already been printed.
Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est celui de permettre d'optimiser les campagnes d'affichage successives en individualisant les différentes affiches tout en restant compatible avec la mise en place dans des dispositifs assurant un maintien sous tension transversale, notamment grâce à l'utilisation de joncs latéraux.The problem that the invention proposes to solve is that of making it possible to optimize successive poster campaigns by individualizing the different posters while remaining compatible with the installation in devices ensuring maintenance under transverse tension, in particular thanks to the use of side rods.
Exposé de l'inventionStatement of the invention
L'invention concerne donc un support d'affichage destiné à être mis en place dans un dispositif déroulant, et dont les lisières sont aptes à être guidées latéralement à l'intérieur d'un tel dispositif déroulant.The invention therefore relates to a display support intended to be put in place in a drop-down device, and whose selvedges are capable of being guided laterally inside such a drop-down device.
Conformément à l'invention, ce support d'affichage se caractérise en ce qu'il est composé de plusieurs tronçons adjacents solidarisés de façon réversible les uns aux autres par leurs lisières horizontales en regard. En outre, ce support d'affichage comporte un jonc latéral situé sur chacune de ces lisières latérales, ce jonc s'étendant continûment sur l'ensemble des tronçons adjacents.According to the invention, this display medium is characterized in that it is composed of several adjacent sections secured in a reversible manner to each other by their horizontal edges facing each other. In addition, this display support comprises a lateral rod located on each of these lateral edges, this rod extending continuously over all of the adjacent sections.
Autrement dit, l'invention consiste à associer de façon détachable différents tronçons indépendants sur lesquels sont imprimées des affiches distinctes, avec un jonc continu présent sur chacune des lisières de l'ensemble constitué des tronçons associés. De la sorte, il est possible de modifier les différentes zones affichées en remplaçant uniquement les tronçons correspondants, et ce avec une totale liberté dans la composition de la toile complète.In other words, the invention consists in detachably associating different independent sections on which separate posters are printed, with a continuous rod present on each of the edges of the assembly made up of the associated sections. In this way, it is possible to modify the different zones displayed by replacing only the corresponding sections, and this with total freedom in the composition of the complete canvas.
Autrement dit, lorsque dans le cadre d'une campagne d'affichage, il est nécessaire de ne remplacer qu'une des trois affiches par exemple, il suffit de échanger le tronçon correspondant et de conserver les deux tronçons dont la période d'affichage n'est pas achevée.In other words, when in the context of a poster campaign, it is necessary to replace only one of the three posters for example, it is enough to exchange the corresponding section and to keep the two sections whose display period n is not completed.
Plusieurs architectures peuvent être employées pour réaliser le support d'affichage conforme à l'invention.Several architectures can be used to produce the display support according to the invention.
Ainsi, dans une première variante, les différents tronçons sont solidarisés de façon réversible par leur lisière verticale à un élément unique comportant un jonc latéral, cet élément unique formant donc la lisière latérale de l'ensemble.Thus, in a first variant, the different sections are secured in a reversible manner by their vertical selvedge to a single element comprising a lateral rod, this single element therefore forming the lateral selvedge of the assembly.
Autrement dit, dans cette solution, les différents tronçons indépendants sont tous associés à deux joncs latéraux uniques qui possèdent la longueur totale de la toile d'affichage. L'opération de remplacement d'un tronçon d'affiche passe par la désolidarisation des joncs latéraux, puis par la désolidarisation du tronçon considéré. Un nouveau tronçon est ensuite mis en place, puis les joncs latéraux sont remis en place sur le train d'affiches reconstitué.In other words, in this solution, the different independent sections are all associated with two single side rods which have the total length of the display fabric. The operation of replacing a poster section goes through the separation of the side rods, then through the separation of the section considered. A new section is then put in place, then the side rods are put back in place on the reconstructed poster train.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation, les différents tronçons comportent sur chaque lisière verticale un jonc latéral. Le support comporte alors des moyens pour assurer la continuité des différents joncs latéraux des tronçons adjacents. Autrement dit, dans cette solution, les différents tronçons comportent en eux- mêmes un jonc latéral, et il est prévu des moyens qui permettent de relier les extrémités des joncs au niveau des lisières en regard, de manière à former un jonc continu sur l'ensemble de la toile d'affichage. Ces joncs propres à chaque tronçon peuvent être définitivement fixés sur les lisières latérales de chaque tronçon, par soudure par exemple.In another embodiment, the different sections comprise on each vertical edge a side rod. The support then comprises means for ensuring the continuity of the various lateral rods of the adjacent sections. In other words, in this solution, the different sections comprise in themselves a lateral rod, and means are provided which make it possible to connect the ends of the rods at the level of the facing selvedges, so as to form a rod continuous across the entire display canvas. These rods specific to each section can be permanently fixed to the side edges of each section, for example by welding.
En d'autres termes, dans ce cas, chaque tronçon incorpore une fraction du jonc latéral global, la continuité entre ces différentes fractions de jonc étant assurée pour permettre le bon coulissement du jonc dans la glissière fixe du dispositif déroulant.In other words, in this case, each section incorporates a fraction of the overall lateral rod, the continuity between these different rod fractions being ensured to allow the rod to slide smoothly in the fixed slide of the unrolling device.
Différentes variantes de réalisation peuvent être employées pour assurer la solidarisation entre les lisières horizontales de tronçons adjacents.Different variant embodiments can be used to secure the connection between the horizontal edges of adjacent sections.
Ainsi, dans une première variante, les lisières horizontales en regard de deux tronçons adjacents peuvent être reliées par l'intermédiaire de deux éléments complémentaires, situés chacun sur une des lisières horizontales, ces éléments complémentaires coopérant entre eux. Autrement dit, dans cette solution, la lisière haute d'un tronçon comporte un élément qui peut venir s'accrocher ou plus généralement coopérer avec un élément qui est fixé sur la lisière basse du tronçon supérieur. En d'autres termes, les tronçons adjacents sont reliés directement par leurs lisières.Thus, in a first variant, the horizontal edges facing two adjacent sections can be connected by means of two complementary elements, each located on one of the horizontal edges, these complementary elements cooperating with each other. In other words, in this solution, the upper edge of a section includes an element which can come to grip or more generally cooperate with an element which is fixed on the lower edge of the upper section. In other words, the adjacent sections are connected directly by their edges.
Dans une autre variante de réalisation, les lisières horizontales en regard de deux tronçons adjacents peuvent être reliées par l'intermédiaire d'un organe supplémentaire, coopérant avec les deux lisières horizontales à relier.In another alternative embodiment, the horizontal edges facing two adjacent sections can be connected by means of an additional member, cooperating with the two horizontal edges to be connected.
Dans cette autre solution, les lisières de chaque tronçon ne coopèrent pas directement entre elles, mais elles coopèrent chacune avec l'organe supplémentaire qui assure ainsi la jonction entre ces deux tronçons.In this other solution, the edges of each section do not cooperate directly with each other, but they each cooperate with the additional member which thus ensures the junction between these two sections.
En pratique, les éléments complémentaires peuvent comporter une pluralité de crochets aptes à s'encliqueter dans des crochets de l'élément complémentaire du tronçon adjacent. Ces crochets possèdent un profil qui nécessite un faible effort pour la mise en place d'une lisière sur l'autre, mais qui au contraire nécessite un effort nettement supérieur pour désolidariser des tronçons adjacents. Cette solution est particulièrement adaptée en ce qui concerne les faibles largeurs d'affiche, pour des questions de mise en place et de démontage.In practice, the complementary elements may include a plurality of hooks able to snap into hooks of the complementary element of the adjacent section. These hooks have a profile which requires a small effort for the establishment of one edge on the other, but which on the contrary requires a significantly greater effort to separate adjacent sections. This solution is particularly suitable with regard to the small poster widths, for questions of installation and dismantling.
En pratique, lorsqu'on utilise un organe supplémentaire pour assurer la solidarisation des différents tronçons, les éléments complémentaires et organes supplémentaires peuvent comporter une pluralité de crochets, les crochets de chaque élément complémentaire étant aptes à s'encliqueter dans les crochets de l'organe supplémentaire. Autrement dit, la lisière basse d'un des tronçons vient s'encliqueter sur les crochets complémentaires d'une partie de l'organe intermédiaire. La lisière haute du tronçon inférieur vient de la même manière s'encliqueter dans une autre partie de l'élément intermédiaire.In practice, when an additional member is used to secure the various sections, the complementary elements and additional members may include a plurality of hooks, the hooks of each complementary element being able to snap into the hooks of the member additional. In other words, the bottom edge of one of the sections snaps onto the complementary hooks of a part of the intermediate member. The upper edge of the lower section likewise snaps into another part of the intermediate element.
Dans une autre variante de réalisation concernant la liaison des tronçons entre eux, chaque lisière horizontale peut comporter un jonc horizontal, l'organe supplémentaire comportant alors deux glissières aptes à recevoir les joncs horizontaux des lisières en regard. Dans ce cas de figure, la rigidité de la liaison est assurée par l'organe supplémentaire intermédiaire, ce qui permet d'employer des joncs horizontaux relativement souples pour les différents tronçon. Cette solution est donc particulièrement adaptée pour l'emploi de toiles extensibles, présentant une très bonne qualité de rendu visuel.In another alternative embodiment relating to the connection of the sections to each other, each horizontal edge may include a horizontal rod, the additional member then comprising two slides capable of receiving the horizontal rods of the opposite edges. In this case, the rigidity of the connection is ensured by the additional intermediate member, which allows the use of relatively flexible horizontal rods for the different sections. This solution is therefore particularly suitable for the use of stretch fabrics, having a very good quality of visual rendering.
Dans le cas où chaque tronçon incorpore une fraction du jonc latéral global, le dispositif comporte des éléments de jonction insérés dans les deux extrémités en regard des joncs latéraux des tronçons adjacents. Autrement dit, la continuité des différents joncs individuels de chaque tronçon est assurée par des éléments de jonction qui permettent de maintenir les extrémités des joncs latéraux individuels dans l'alignement l'un de l'autre.In the case where each section incorporates a fraction of the overall lateral rod, the device comprises junction elements inserted in the two ends opposite the lateral rods of the adjacent sections. In other words, the continuity of the different individual rods of each section is ensured by joining elements which make it possible to keep the ends of the individual lateral rods in alignment with one another.
En pratique, ces éléments de jonction peuvent être enfoncés dans un logement percé parallèlement à l'axe du jonc.In practice, these junction elements can be inserted into a housing drilled parallel to the axis of the rod.
Dans une forme préférée, les joncs latéraux des trois tronçons adjacents présentent une gorge débouchant latéralement, destinée à recevoir l'élément de jonction. Dans ce cas, l'élément de jonction peut être mis en place à l'intérieur de la gorge caractéristique après que les différents tronçons aient été associés par leurs lisières horizontales. On facilite ainsi les opérations de construction globale de l'affiche.In a preferred form, the lateral rods of the three adjacent sections have a groove opening laterally, intended to receive the junction element. In this case, the junction element can be placed inside the characteristic groove after the different sections have been associated by their horizontal edges. This facilitates the overall construction of the poster.
Les éléments de jonction peuvent se présenter sous forme d'une tige rigide ou semi-rigide, ou bien encore de façon préférée so.us forme d'un cavalier de forme générale en U. La partie centrale du cavalier assure la liaison entre les joncs des deux tronçons adjacents. Les branches du cavalier pénètrent quant à elles dans des trous prévus à cet effet à l'intérieur du jonc, de manière à augmenter la résistance à l'arrachement des moyens de liaison entre tronçons.The junction elements can be in the form of a rigid or semi-rigid rod, or even preferably so.us form of a jumper of general U shape. The central part of the jumper provides the connection between the rods of the two adjacent sections. The branches of the rider for their part penetrate into holes provided for this purpose inside the rod, so as to increase the resistance to tearing of the connecting means between sections.
Avantageusement en pratique, le support d'affichage conforme à l'invention peut comporter au moins une pièce de verrouillage mise en place à cheval sur les lisières horizontales en regard des tronçons adjacents, de manière à assurer une liaison mécanique supplémentaire entre lesdits tronçons adjacents.Advantageously in practice, the display support according to the invention may include at least one locking piece positioned astride the horizontal edges facing the adjacent sections, so as to provide an additional mechanical connection between said adjacent sections.
Avantageusement, cette pièce de verrouillage est mise en place sur une seule face de l'affiche, à savoir préférentiellement la face apparente de l'affiche sur laquelle l'opérateur peut intervenir.Advantageously, this locking piece is placed on only one face of the poster, namely preferably the visible face of the poster on which the operator can intervene.

Manière de réaliser l'inventionWay of realizing the invention
Comme déjà évoqué, l'invention concerne un support d'affichage qui est destiné à être mis en place dans un dispositif déroulant.As already mentioned, the invention relates to a display support which is intended to be placed in a drop-down device.
Comme illustré à la figure 1, un tel support d'affichage (1) peut être réalisé par l'assemblage réversible de plusieurs tronçons (2, 3, 4) comportant chacun une affiche individuelle. Dans la forme illustrée à la figure 1, chaque tronçon (2, 3, 4) comporte sur ses lisières latérales (5, 6) des joncs latéraux (7, 8) destinés à coulisser à l'intérieur de glissières faisant partie du dispositif déroulant non représenté.As illustrated in FIG. 1, such a display support (1) can be produced by the reversible assembly of several sections (2, 3, 4) each comprising an individual poster. In the form illustrated in FIG. 1, each section (2, 3, 4) has on its lateral edges (5, 6) lateral rods (7, 8) intended to slide inside the slides forming part of the unrolling device not shown.
L'application d'un effort transversal entre les joncs latéraux (7, 8) permet de maintenir l'affiche sous tension transversale, ce qui facilite son enroulement, et améliore sa planéité et donc la qualité visuelle de l'affiche.The application of a transverse force between the lateral rods (7, 8) keeps the poster under transverse tension, which facilitates its winding, and improves its flatness and therefore the visual quality of the poster.
Dans la forme illustrée à la figure 1, les différents tronçons (2, 3, 4) sont solidarisés de façon réversible entre eux par leurs lisières horizontales (10, 11, 12, 13).In the form illustrated in FIG. 1, the different sections (2, 3, 4) are joined reversibly to one another by their horizontal edges (10, 11, 12, 13).
Conformément à l'invention, le support d'affichage (1) comprend des moyens assurant la continuité des joncs (7, 17, 27 ; 8, 18, 28) des différents tronçons adjacents (2, 3, 4). Cette continuité géométrique est nécessaire pour permettre un coulissement optimal dans les glissières du dispositif déroulant.According to the invention, the display support (1) comprises means ensuring the continuity of the rods (7, 17, 27; 8, 18, 28) of the various adjacent sections (2, 3, 4). This geometric continuity is necessary to allow optimal sliding in the slides of the drop-down device.
La figure 2 illustre un exemple de réalisation de la solidarisation entre les lisières horizontales (10, 11) de deux tronçons adjacents (2, 3).FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the connection between the horizontal edges (10, 11) of two adjacent sections (2, 3).
Ainsi, la lisière basse (10) du tronçon (2) comporte un premier élément (20) qui, lui est soudé ou solidarisé de façon définitive par un moyen équivalent. Cet élément (20) comporte dans sa partie basse une zone de plus forte épaisseur (21). Cette zone de plus forte épaisseur (21) peut épouser une forme de jonc ou analogue, et s'étend sur toute la largeur de la lisière (10).Thus, the low edge (10) of the section (2) comprises a first element (20) which, it is welded or permanently joined to it by equivalent means. This element (20) has in its lower part an area of greater thickness (21). This thicker zone (21) can follow a shape of a rod or the like, and extends over the entire width of the selvedge (10).
Complémentairement, la lisière (11) de l'élément (3) possède un élément (22) qui lui est également soudé ou solidarisé de façon quasi-définitive par tout moyen équivalent. En partie haute, cet élément (22) présente une gorge (23) de profil complémentaire à la zone renflée (21) du tronçon (2).In addition, the selvedge (11) of the element (3) has an element (22) which is also welded or joined to it almost definitively by any equivalent means. In the upper part, this element (22) has a groove (23) of profile complementary to the bulged area (21) of the section (2).
Un détail de la forme des éléments complémentaires (21, 23) est illustré à la figure 3. Ainsi, la zone de plus forte épaisseur (21) de l'élément (20) épouse une forme de section sensiblement triangulaire, présentant sa pointe orientée en direction du tronçon adjacent (3). La zone (23) du tronçon (3) présente un profil complémentaire en section. Plus précisément, cette gorge (23) possède des branches (24, 25) qui se referment l'une vers l'autre pour former une gorge d'ouverture restreinte.A detail of the shape of the complementary elements (21, 23) is illustrated in FIG. 3. Thus, the zone of greater thickness (21) of the element (20) follows a shape of substantially triangular section, having its point oriented. towards the adjacent section (3). The area (23) of the section (3) has a complementary profile in section. More precisely, this groove (23) has branches (24, 25) which close towards one another to form a groove with a restricted opening.
La mise en place de l'élément (21) dans la gorge (23) se fait par légère déformation des branches (24, 25). A l'inverse, la forme triangulaire de la zone (21) nécessite un effort d'extraction important pour la retirer de la gorge (23). La solidarisation des deux tronçons adjacents est ainsi effectuée en limitant les risques de voir les tronçons se séparer l'un et l'autre de façon inopinée.The element (21) is put into place in the groove (23) by slight deformation of the branches (24, 25). Conversely, the triangular shape of the area (21) requires a significant extraction effort to remove it from the groove (23). The joining of the two adjacent sections is thus carried out by limiting the risks of seeing the sections separate one and the other unexpectedly.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à cette seule forme de réalisation dans laquelle les éléments complémentaires solidaires des tronçons adjacents présentent une forme triangulaire et la forme complémentaire, mais elle couvre également d'autres variantes dans lesquelles la coopération entre un élément (20, 22) s'effectue par un profil en section circulaire, ou de façon générale toute autre forme permettant une mise en place aisée et une bonne résistance à l'arrachement.Of course, the invention is not limited to this single embodiment in which the complementary elements integral with the adjacent sections have a triangular shape and the complementary shape, but it also covers other variants in which the cooperation between an element (20, 22) is effected by a profile in circular section, or in general any other shape allowing easy installation and good resistance to tearing.
Des variantes de tels dispositifs sont par exemple illustrées aux figures 4 à 6.Variants of such devices are for example illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6.
Ainsi, à la figure 4, le tronçon comporte à sa lisière (10) un élément (30) qui lui est soudé ou solidarisé par tout autre moyen équivalent. Dans sa partie basse, cet élément (30) comporte une pluralité de crochets (31, 32, 33) orientés perpendiculairement au plan principal de l'élément (30). Chaque crochet (31-33) comporte son extrémité une partie renflée (34, 35, 36) présentant une épaisseur qui décroît en s'éloignant de l'élément (30). Ces différents éléments (31, 33) ont une forme générale similaire à celle d'un harpon.Thus, in Figure 4, the section has at its edge (10) an element (30) which is welded or secured to it by any other equivalent means. In its lower part, this element (30) comprises a plurality of hooks (31, 32, 33) oriented perpendicular to the main plane of the element (30). Each hook (31-33) has at its end a bulged part (34, 35, 36) having a thickness which decreases away from the element (30). These various elements (31, 33) have a general shape similar to that of a harpoon.
De façon symétrique, la lisière (11) du tronçon (3) est équipée d'un élément (37) identique à l'élément (30). Les différents crochets ou harpons (38) sont donc identiques aux crochets (31, 33) de l'élément (30) ou complémentaire. Lorsque les lisières (10, 11) sont rapprochées, les crochets (38) de l'élément (37) interpénètrent les crochets de l'élément complémentaire (30), et ce sans nécessiter d'effort important, compte tenu de la forme des crochets.Symmetrically, the edge (11) of the section (3) is equipped with an element (37) identical to the element (30). The different hooks or harpoons (38) are therefore identical to the hooks (31, 33) of the element (30) or complementary. When the selvedges (10, 11) are brought together, the hooks (38) of the element (37) interpenetrate the hooks of the complementary element (30), without requiring significant effort, taking into account the shape of the hooks.
Lorsque les différentes parties renflées sont passées les unes derrière les autres, la forme de ces crochets interdit l'arrachement, du moins sous faible effort. La solidarisation des deux lisières horizontales (10, 11) des tronçons (2, 3) est ainsi effectuée. Bien entendu, la forme des crochets ainsi que leur nombre par élément (30) peuvent être optimisés en fonction de la largeur de l'affiche. Il n'est en aucun cas limité à la seule forme illustrée.When the different swollen parts are passed one behind the other, the shape of these hooks prevents tearing, at least under low effort. The joining of the two horizontal edges (10, 11) of the sections (2, 3) is thus carried out. Of course, the shape of the hooks as well as their number per element (30) can be optimized as a function of the width of the poster. It is in no way limited to the single form illustrated.
Une variante de réalisation est illustrée à la figure 5, dans laquelle la lisièreAn alternative embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 5, in which the selvedge
(10) du tronçon (2) est équipée d'un élément (41) analogue à l'élément (30) de la figure 4. Complémentairement, la lisière (11) du tronçon (3) est équipée d'un élément (42) analogue à l'élément (41), mais présentant une configuration symétrique par rapport à un plan horizontal.(10) of the section (2) is equipped with an element (41) similar to the element (30) of FIG. 4. In addition, the selvedge (11) of the section (3) is equipped with an element (42 ) similar to the element (41), but having a symmetrical configuration with respect to a horizontal plane.
La solidarisation entre les tronçons (2) et (3) est obtenue par l'intermédiaire d'un organe supplémentaire (44) présentant une zone (45) coopérant avec les crochets (47) de l'élément (41). De la même manière, l'organe supplémentaire (44) comprend une deuxième zone (46) destinée à coopérer avec les crochets (48) de l'élément (42). La mise en place de l'organe supplémentaire (44) s'effectue de la même manière que sont associés les éléments (30), (38) illustrés à la figure 4. Grâce à l'utilisation de l'organe supplémentaire (44), il est possible de choisir des matériaux plus souples pour la réalisation des éléments (41, 42) solidaires des tronçons (2, 3). Il est notamment possible de choisir un matériau présentant des qualités de déformation proches de celles du matériau utilisé pour la toile imprimée. Dans ce cas, lorsque cette toile se déforme, l'élément (41) se déforme avec lui, ce dernier coulissant transversalement à l'intérieur de l'organe supplémentaireThe connection between the sections (2) and (3) is obtained by means of an additional member (44) having a zone (45) cooperating with the hooks (47) of the element (41). Similarly, the additional member (44) comprises a second zone (46) intended to cooperate with the hooks (48) of the element (42). The establishment of the additional member (44) is carried out in the same way as the elements (30), (38) illustrated in FIG. 4 are associated. Thanks to the use of the additional member (44) , it is possible to choose more flexible materials for the production of elements (41, 42) integral with the sections (2, 3). It is in particular possible to choose a material having deformation qualities close to those of the material used for the printed canvas. In this case, when this fabric deforms, the element (41) deforms with it, the latter sliding transversely inside the additional member
(44). On choisira alors un matériau plus rigide pour l'organe supplémentaire (44), cette rigidité supplémentaire assurant la résistance à l'arrachement.(44). A more rigid material will then be chosen for the additional member (44), this additional rigidity ensuring the resistance to tearing.
Une autre variante de réalisation est illustrée à la figure 6 dans laquelle les lisières (10) et (11) des tronçons (2, 3) sont équipées d'éléments identiques (50,Another alternative embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 6 in which the selvedges (10) and (11) of the sections (2, 3) are equipped with identical elements (50,
51). Ces éléments (50, 51) possèdent alors à leurs extrémités un jonc (52, 53) apte à coulisser à l'intérieur de glissières (56, 57) formées dans l'organe supplémentaire (55). Cet organe supplémentaire (55) peut être obtenu par extrusion de matière plastique, ou bien encore être formé d'un profilé métallique. De la même manière que pour l'exemple de la figure 5, cette construction autorise un coulissement de l'élément (50, 51) par rapport à l'organe supplémentaire (55). On tire donc profit de l'extensibilité de la toile d'affichage (2, 3).51). These elements (50, 51) then have at their ends a rod (52, 53) capable of sliding inside slides (56, 57) formed in the additional member (55). This additional member (55) can be obtained by plastic extrusion, or even be formed from a metal profile. In the same way as for the example in FIG. 5, this construction allows the element (50, 51) to slide relative to the additional member (55). We therefore take advantage of the extensibility of the display fabric (2, 3).
En référence à la figure 2, la continuité du jonc latéral (7, 17 ; 8, 18) peut être obtenue par différents moyens, et notamment des pièces des éléments de jonction (60, 61). Ces éléments de jonction peuvent être des tiges métalliques ou en matière plastique, aptes à épouser la courbure du jonc lorsque ce dernier est enroulé sur les rouleaux du dispositif déroulant non représenté.With reference to FIG. 2, the continuity of the lateral rod (7, 17; 8, 18) can be obtained by various means, and in particular parts of the junction elements (60, 61). These junction elements may be metal or plastic rods, capable of conforming to the curvature of the rod when the latter is wound on the rollers of the unrolling device, not shown.
Ces éléments de jonction (60, 61) peuvent, comme illustré aux figures 2 et 7, être mis en place à l'intérieur d'un logement (62) percé dans l'épaisseur même du jonc (7, 17 ; 8, 18). La longueur de l'élément de jonction (60, 61) ainsi que son diamètre et son matériau sont déterminés pour ne pas générer de trop fortes contraintes sur le jonc (7, 17 ; 8, 18) lors de l'enroulement sur les rouleaux du dispositif déroulant.These junction elements (60, 61) can, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 7, be placed inside a housing (62) pierced in the very thickness of the rod (7, 17; 8, 18 ). The length of the joining element (60, 61) as well as its diameter and its material are determined so as not to generate too great stresses on the rod (7, 17; 8, 18) during the winding on the rollers of the drop-down device.
Le centrage des trous (62) réalisés à l'intérieur du joint (17) est effectué de façon précise de manière à obtenir une continuité optimale des joncs ainsi solidarisés.The holes (62) made inside the joint (17) are centered in a precise manner so as to obtain optimal continuity of the rods thus secured.
Une variante de cette solidarisation est illustrée à la figure 8 dans laquelle l'élément de jonction (60) est mis en place transversalement dans une gorge (65) présentant une ouverture (66) débouchant latéralement. Le profil de l'ouverture de cette gorge est déterminé pour faciliter l'introduction latérale de l'élément de jonction (60) sans exercer des forces trop importantes. Cette solution présente l'avantage de permettre dans un premier temps la solidarisation des tronçons adjacents par leur lisière horizontale, puis la mise en place des éléments de jonctionA variant of this connection is illustrated in FIG. 8 in which the joining element (60) is placed transversely in a groove (65) having an opening (66) opening out laterally. The profile of the opening of this groove is determined to facilitate the lateral introduction of the element of junction (60) without exerting excessive forces. This solution has the advantage of allowing firstly the joining of the adjacent sections by their horizontal edge, then the installation of the junction elements.
(60) pour assurer la continuité du jonc latéral.(60) to ensure the continuity of the lateral rod.
La mise en place du jonc latéral (67) à l'intérieur de la glissière non représentée, empêche tout mouvement d'écartement de l'ouverture (66) et donc tout départ inopiné de l'élément de jonction (60).The positioning of the lateral rod (67) inside the slide, not shown, prevents any movement of the opening (66) from spreading and therefore any unexpected departure of the joining element (60).
Une variante préférée de la solidarisation des joncs est illustrée à la figure 9.A preferred variant of the joining of the rods is illustrated in FIG. 9.
Dans ce cas, l'élément de jonction (80) épouse une forme de cavalier. Ce cavalier (80) possède une partie centrale (81) qui se loge dans la gorge (65) du jonc (60). A chaque extrémité, le cavalier (80) présente une branche recourbée (82,83), typiquement à 90°. Lorsque le cavalier (80) est en position, ces branches (82,83) pénètrent chacune dans trou (68) réalisé dans le jonc, au fond de la gorge (65). De la sorte, le cavalier (80) augmente la résistance à l'arrachement des tronçons d'affiche consécutifs.In this case, the joining element (80) takes on the shape of a jumper. This rider (80) has a central part (81) which is housed in the groove (65) of the rod (60). At each end, the jumper (80) has a curved branch (82,83), typically at 90 °. When the rider (80) is in position, these branches (82,83) each enter a hole (68) made in the rod, at the bottom of the groove (65). In this way, the rider (80) increases the resistance to tearing of the consecutive poster sections.
En référence à nouveau à la figure 2, la solidarisation entre les différents tronçons (3) peut être encore améliorée par la mise en place de pièces de verrouillage (70, 71). Ces pièces de verrouillage peuvent comporter un premier élément comportant deux taquets (72, 73) montés sur une plaque (74). Ces taquets (72, 73) passent à travers des oeillets (75, 76) réalisés sur les lisières horizontales (11, 12), dans les zones latérales. Les taquets (72, 73) sont ensuite encliquetés ou rivetés ou solidarisés par tout autre moyen à une plaque (71) présente sur la face opposée du support d'affichage.Referring again to Figure 2, the connection between the different sections (3) can be further improved by the installation of locking pieces (70, 71). These locking pieces may include a first element comprising two tabs (72, 73) mounted on a plate (74). These tabs (72, 73) pass through eyelets (75, 76) made on the horizontal edges (11, 12), in the lateral zones. The tabs (72, 73) are then snapped or riveted or secured by any other means to a plate (71) present on the opposite face of the display support.
Ces pièces de verrouillage (70, 71) peuvent être présentes sur les deux côtés du dispositif d'affichage, ou bien encore de façon supplémentaire réparties sur la largeur du support d'affichage.These locking pieces (70, 71) may be present on both sides of the display device, or alternatively distributed over the width of the display support.
Les pièces de verrouillage sont avantageusement réalisées dans un matériau souple qui peut épouser la courbure du support d'affichage lorsque celui-ci est enroulé sur les rouleaux du dispositif déroulant.The locking pieces are advantageously made of a flexible material which can follow the curvature of the display support when the latter is wound on the rollers of the unwinding device.
Une variante concernant les pièces de verrouillage est illustrée à la figure 10.A variant concerning the locking parts is illustrated in FIG. 10.
Dans ce cas, chaque tronçon d'affiche (2,3) reçoit une pièce additionnelle (102,103) qui est solidarisée à l'affiche par soudure, collage ou équivalent. Cette pièce additionnelle comporte un fourreau (104) en excroissance, percé d'un trou traversant (105). Les pièces additionnelles (102,103) sont positionnées de telle sorte que leurs trous traversants (105) soient dans l'axe l'un de l'autre. Après solidarisation des tronçons d'affiche (2,3), une goupille (106) est introduite dans les trous traversants (105) des deux pièces additionnelles (102,103). Les pointes (107) des la goupille (106) sont ensuite rabattues pour empêcher tout mouvement relatif des tronçons d'affiche (2,3). Bien entendu, la goupille (106) peut être remplacée par un moyen équivalent permettant d'assurer une liaison similaire. Cette variante présente l'avantage de ne pas nécessiter l'accès à la face opposée de l'affiche, ce qui simplifie les opérations de mise en place.In this case, each poster section (2,3) receives an additional piece (102,103) which is joined to the poster by welding, gluing or equivalent. This additional part comprises a protruding sheath (104), pierced with a through hole (105). The additional parts (102,103) are positioned so that their through holes (105) are in the axis of each other. After securing the poster sections (2,3), a pin (106) is introduced into the through holes (105) of the two additional parts (102,103). The pins (107) of the pin (106) are then folded down to prevent any relative movement of the poster sections (2,3). Of course, the pin (106) can be replaced by an equivalent means making it possible to ensure a similar connection. This variant has the advantage of not requiring access to the opposite face of the poster, which simplifies the implementation operations.
La structure d'affiche illustrée à la figure 1 dans laquelle les différents tronçons (2, 3, 4) comportent chacun des tractions du jonc latéral (7, 17, 27 ; 8, 18, 28) peut être remplacée par la structure illustrée à la figure 11. Dans ce cas, le support d'affichage (90) est constitué de trois tronçons (91, 92, 93) qui ne comportent pas de jonc latéral. Ces tronçons (91, 92, 93) sont solidarisés par leur lisière horizontale de la même manière que le sont les tronçons (2, 3 , 4) décrits en détail précédemment.The poster structure illustrated in FIG. 1 in which the different sections (2, 3, 4) each include pulls from the lateral rod (7, 17, 27; 8, 18, 28) can be replaced by the structure illustrated in Figure 11. In this case, the display support (90) consists of three sections (91, 92, 93) which do not have a side rod. These sections (91, 92, 93) are joined by their horizontal edge in the same way as are the sections (2, 3, 4) described in detail above.
Ces tronçons (91, 92, 93) forment un ensemble qui reçoit ensuite sur chacune de ses lisières un élément unique (94, 95) comportant un jonc unique (96, 97) s'étendant sur toute la longueur du support d'affichage. La solidarisation entre les éléments (95, 94) avec l'ensemble formé des tronçons (91, 92, 93) peut s'effectuer selon les différents moyens évoqués précédemment en ce qui concerne les jonctions entre les lisières horizontales de tronçons.These sections (91, 92, 93) form an assembly which then receives on each of its selvedges a single element (94, 95) comprising a single rod (96, 97) extending over the entire length of the display support. The connection between the elements (95, 94) with the assembly formed by sections (91, 92, 93) can be carried out according to the various means mentioned above with regard to the junctions between the horizontal edges of sections.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation illustrée aux figures 1 et 11 dans lesquelles le support d'affichage ne comprend que trois tronçons, mais elle couvre toutes les variantes concernant les dimensions et le nombre de tronçons utilisés.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 11 in which the display support comprises only three sections, but it covers all the variants concerning the dimensions and the number of sections used .
Il ressort de ce qui précède que le support d'affichage conforme à l'invention présente de multiples avantages, et notamment celui de permettre le remplacement d'une ou plusieurs affiches individuellement à l'intérieur d'un ensemble d'affiches. Cette modularité permet une gestion de périodes différentes dans l'intérieur d'un même dispositif d'affichage déroulant.It appears from the above that the display medium according to the invention has multiple advantages, and in particular that of allowing the replacement of one or more posters individually inside a set of posters. This modularity allows management of different periods inside a single scrolling display device.
Les affiches ainsi individualisées peuvent être réutilisées de façon plus aisée pour des campagnes ultérieures. The posters thus individualized can be reused more easily for subsequent campaigns.
