Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lockable and non-interchangeable identification device for a product or object.
  • product or object means any part, spare part or utensil, without limitations, which should be identified precisely for the purposes of presentation, exhibition, storage and / or sale. Also, in the remainder of this description, for reasons of clarity, only the term “object” will be used and, similarly, to define the terms “presentation, exhibition, storage and / or sale", will be used the expression more synthetic of "marketing".
  • Object identification is often necessary in inventory management, in supply management and, in any case, in marketing objects in a store, in particular for the indication of the price of the object and for the identification of the object, for example by bar code.
  • the presentation of objects also requires special conditioning, either to enhance them or to adapt them to presentation supports or gondolas. A loose presentation should not be ruled out, but the identification problems nonetheless remain.
  • identification devices including luggage, made under shape of a flexible strap, the lateral edges of which are provided with opposite notches two by two and regularly distributed, which strap presents to one of its ends an identification plate.
  • the other end of the strap is for engage in an opening formed near the identification plate, after surrounding an object or part of an object. This other end is caused, after slight rotation of the strap, to engage in a less opening as wide as the strap section at the notches, making it possible after return of the strap to its position prior to rotation, locking the strap by said opening.
  • a closed loop is thus obtained, linking said device of identification to the object to identify.
  • Such a device has the disadvantage of not allowing absolute blocking that is to say a strap locking in the closed loop position, because it is extremely easy to remove it from the object or product it identifies. It is indeed easy to remove it from the object it is intended to identify and even easy to exchange it with such a device used for the identification of another object or product, for example a cheaper object or product; Furthermore, such a device is often not compatible with an optimal presentation of products or objects on a support of presentation or a store gondola, char. it cannot adapt in the locked position all forms of objects or products that should be identified.
  • the aim of the present invention is to identify the products or objects with precision and this, using an identification device adaptable to all types of objects to market.
  • the device according to the invention has the additional advantage of being locked in position, not being able to unhook and especially not being able to be interchanged by malicious people.
  • the device according to the invention has visual appeal, linked to the quality of presentation or exhibition of products or objects, which makes it possible to highlight them and therefore facilitate the marketing of such objects or products.
  • the cursor is capable of unidirectional sliding relative to the notching of the strap preventing any backward movement of the cursor engaged on the strap.
  • the strap has an enlarged zone disposed between the stop and the notching and a narrow longitudinal zone of which at least part comprises the notching.
  • the cursor consists of a plate provided with members locking, whose conformation is complementary to the notches or notches notches, intended to cooperate with the notches of the flexible strap.
  • the narrow longitudinal area of the flexible strap has a longitudinal slot central and the notching is carried out on at least part of the lateral sides of this longitudinal slot
  • the part of the longitudinal slot located at the end of the zone narrow longitudinal of the flexible strap opposite the enlarged area forms a window longitudinal with no notching.
  • the locking members comprise one or more notches profiles, protruding on the plate, whose conformation is complementary notches or opposite notches of the notch, intended to cooperate with the notch of the flexible strap.
  • the locking members also include stops for guides intended to cooperate with the edges of the narrow longitudinal area of the flexible strap.
  • the profiled notch or notches are centered with respect to the guide stops.
  • the notch is formed on at least part of the lateral sides of the narrow longitudinal area of the flexible strap
  • the cursor consists of a plate provided with members locking, projecting from the plate, the conformation of which is complementary notches or opposite notches of the notch, intended to cooperate with the notch of the flexible strap.
  • the end of the flexible strap comprising the part enlarged is provided with a tip, the other end of the flexible strap having a longitudinal window without associated notching.
  • a circular orifice is formed in the enlarged longitudinal zone near the tip.
  • a passage having a section capable of allowing the passage of the narrow longitudinal area of the strap is provided in the area longitudinal enlarged, between the circular orifice and the nozzle.
  • the strap and the end piece are made in a single room.
  • the endpiece has a hooking opening.
  • the face of the cursor opposite the plate is likely to be used as an information carrier
  • the cursor is used as a locking device of an object to identify against the tip.
  • the device shown in Figure 1 includes a flexible strap 1 having a narrow longitudinal zone 2 and an enlarged zone 3 provided with sound free end of a nozzle 4.
  • the end piece 4 can be full or hollowed out; in the latter case it may constitute also a hooking member.
  • This identification device also includes a cursor 5 capable of slide unidirectionally over the narrow longitudinal zone 2 of the strap 1.
  • the width of the cursor 5 represented in FIGS. 2 and 3 is greater than that of the zone narrow 2.
  • the central part of the flexible strap 1 is hollowed out so as to include a longitudinal slot 6, the lateral sides of which are provided with a notch 7; forming rack.
  • the end 8 of the longitudinal slot 6 reaching the enlarged zone 3 y opens into a circular opening 9 while the other end 10 of the slot ends with a longitudinal window 11 without notching This facilitates therefore the engagement of the cursor 5 and the profiled notches 13 on the strap 1.
  • the strap 1 has on at least the narrow longitudinal area 2, longitudinal edges 12 shown in more detail in Figure 1a.
  • the end portion of the strap where the longitudinal window 11 is arranged does not has no longitudinal edges 12
  • the longitudinal strap 1 present in the vicinity of the end piece 4, between the end piece 4 and the circular orifice 9, a passage 12 ′ whose cross section is capable of allow the passage of the narrow longitudinal zone 2 of the strap 1.
  • This passage 12 ' advantageously has a shape complementary to the shape of the section transverse of the narrow longitudinal area 2.
  • the cursor 5, shown in more detail in Figures 2 and 3, includes a plate 5a provided with locking members 13 and 14 intended to cooperate with the notching 7 of the longitudinal slot 6 and the edges 12 of the flexible strap 1 respectively.
  • the locking members consist on the one hand of notches profiles 13 projecting from the plate 5a.
  • the plate 5a also includes guide stops 14 having grooves 14a. The profile notches 13 are centered relative to the guide stops 14.
  • the plate 5a can be used as an information medium, such codes bars or any other distinguishing feature, as shown in Figure 5.
  • an information medium such codes bars or any other distinguishing feature
  • the tip is full, as shown in Figure 6, instead of being hollowed out, it can also be used as an information carrier, such as bar codes or all other distinctive signs.
  • Figure 1 is shown an assembly of the flexible strap 2 and the slider 5 in the locked position. It can be seen that the guide stops 14 are supported on the longitudinal edges 12 of the strap 1 and are capable of guiding this last when sliding the cursor 5. The longitudinal edges 12 slide in grooves 14a delimited by the guide stops 14.
  • the profiled notches 13 are supported on elements corresponding to the notch 6 and in fact are embedded in these elements of the notch 7 made in the longitudinal slot.
  • the guide stops 14 thus make it possible to maintain the profiled notches 13 in the longitudinal slot 2 in the position of locking.
  • the notching is an external notch 17 formed on the edges of the narrow longitudinal zone 2 of the strap 1.
  • the notch 17 is provided on the periphery of the narrow zone 2 of the strap.
  • the cursor does not include the profiled notches 13; however, these are the guide stops 14 which constitute the stop members contributing to the locking. These guide stops are profiled so as to be capable of snap in to allow the cursor 5 to be locked on the strap 1 by through the elements of the external notch 17. and the guide stops 14. All the other components of the identification device in FIG. 1, such as the area widened 3, one end piece 4, the circular opening 9, the end 10, the longitudinal window 11, the passage 9 'are also present on the device of FIG. 4, in positions substantially similar to those presented in the embodiment of the Figure 1.
  • the longitudinal window 11 arranged at the end of the longitudinal zone narrow (2) opposite the enlarged area 3 is obviously in this independent of notching (4). Likewise the edges of the narrow longitudinal area (2), of the area of longitudinal window have no notches.
  • the devices shown in Figures 1 and 4 are intended to serve as a means identification of an object that needs to be identified precisely for the purpose of presentation, exhibition, storage and / or sale, in fact generally intended for the marketing. Such an object on which the device according to the invention is in locked position will be inserted between the end piece 4 and the slider 5 on the strap 1.
  • a first mode of use of the device according to the invention used for the identification of a hollow object, for example a part of piping, can be used both the device of Figure 1 and that of Figure 4.
  • the end opposite the end piece 4 of the strap and then first passed through said part of piping so as to cross it and then passed into passage 9 '.
  • the cursor 5 is then caused to slide on flexible strap 1, until it rests against one end of said object and therefore to move it by dragging it until that the other end of said object abuts against the tip 3.
  • the cursor 5 is thus used as a member for blocking the object against the end piece 3.
  • the cursor 5 is then in the locking position, the locking elements with which it is provided cooperating with the notch 7 or 17 (depending on whether the device of FIG. 1 or of the figure 2 is used).
  • any backward movement of the cursor 5 engaged on the lanyard 1 is prohibited.
  • a possibility of separation of the strap 1 from the cursor 5 is thus made impossible
  • the device will be used according to the embodiment of Figure 1.
  • the control lever is passed through the longitudinal slot 6 so that the valve stem is arranged in said slot 6.
  • the cursor 5 is then caused to slide on the flexible strap 1, to take support on the valve stem and therefore move it by sliding it up what said rod reaches in the circular opening 9
  • the cursor 5 is thus used as an object blocking member in port 9 which acts as an orifice imprisonment of said object.
  • the cursor 5 is then in the locked position, the locking elements with which it cooperates with the notch 7.
  • all movement of the cursor 5 engaged on the strap 1 is the same as above prohibited.
  • FIG. 1 Another possibility of using the devices according to the embodiments Figures 1 or 4, particularly interesting in the case of objects without of openings consists in winding the flexible strap 1 around a part of the body of a object located between two parts of larger diameters.
  • the strap 1 thus surrounds a part of the object.
  • the strap is then passed through the passage 12 ', by its end opposite the end piece 4, so as to surround the said zone located between the two parts of larger diameters of the hollow object to be identified.
  • the cursor 5 is then engaged on the strap 1 and caused to slide on this flexible strap 1, bearing on the object and therefore to move the object until it comes into abutment on the nozzle 3.
  • the cursor 5 is thus used as a member for blocking the object against the end piece 3.
  • the strap 2 can no longer disengage from passage 12 '.
  • the strap 1 and the end piece 4 are advantageously formed in one piece, obtained for example by plastic injection.
  • the widths of the slider 5 and the end piece 4 can also be adapted to the objects to be identified.
  • FIG. 5 represents an article comprising a through hole blocked between the tip 4 and the cursor 5, the face 5a of said cursor carrying information identification intended to be brought to the attention of buyers and a code bar 19.
  • the end piece 4 has a hooking opening 4a, for example triangular.
  • the attachment opening 4a thus makes it possible to hang the object on a support of presentation or to a gondola, putting the cursor face carrying the information identification at the sight of potential buyers.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for identifying the object.
  • the latter includes in particular the step of mounting the strap 1 on the object.
  • the strap 1 can thus be engaged in an opening, a bore or around of an object duct.
  • the cursor 5 is then engaged on the part of the strap which has crossed for example an opening of the object or which surrounds a part of the object located between two wider parts; this cursor is then caused to slide on this flexible strap 1, by resting on the object and therefore moving the object until this comes into abutment on the end piece 3.
  • the cursor 5 is thus used as an organ blocking the object against the nozzle 3.
  • the strap 2 can no longer be released from the passage 12 '.
  • the cursor is then automatically immobilized on the strap 1 and blocks the said object.
