Description

  • The present invention relates to a poster frame of the kind described in the pre-characterising part of claim 1.
  • When a poster is to be inserted in the poster sign, which may be fixed to a wall or a window, the transparent plate is taken out, and another poster is attached to the back of the transparent plate, which is then reinserted in the poster frame. However, it often happens that both a poster and the transparent plate are stolen.
  • Frame designs are known whereby, for example, hinged, spring flanges are used to anchor the poster and transparent plate into the frame body: see, for example, GB-A-2104271 and US-A-4519152 .
  • The purpose of the present invention is to describe a poster frame in which the transparent plate is fixed to the poster frame so that it is easy to exchange a poster, but that the transparent plate cannot be stolen. This is achieved by embodying the poster frame as described in the characterising part of claim 1.
  • Claim 2 relates to a preferred embodiment of a springy element for a poster frame according to the invention, and
  • Claim 3 relates to means to retain the springy element in a hollow profile.
  • The invention is described below in detail with reference to the drawing in which
    • fig. 1
    is a perspective e view of a poster frame
    fig. 2
    is an illustration of a poster,
    fig. 3

    is a smaller-scale view of a section through a spring element for a poster frame according to the invention,
    fig. 10
    shows the spring element viewed in the direction of the arrows III - III in fig. 8,
    fig. 11
    shows the spring member viewed in the direction of the arrows VI - VI in fig. 8,
    fig. 12
    is a larger-scale view of a section II in fig. 1 in a poster frame according to the invention, where a plate member for retention of a transparent plate is inserted, and
    fig. 13
    is an illustration of a picture corresponding to the one in fig. 11 in which the plate member is not inserted.
  • As shown in the drawing a poster sign consists of a poster frame 1, which may be fixed to a wall and in which can be inserted a transparent plate 2, which covers a poster 3 and which can be retained in the poster frame by means of a magnetic-tape strip 4 which sticks along the outer edge of the plate and which adheres to the circumference of a metal plate 5, which is attached to the back of the frame and fixed to the back of the hollow profiles in the full circumference and whose outer edge is flush with the outer edge of the hollow profiles, and which has a width larger then the width of the hollow profiles, whereby is created an internal edge to which the transparent plate 2 can be attached.
  • The poster frame is constructed of lengths of a hollow profile 6 in top, bottom and sides, which are joined at the corners by means of connecting pieces 7, which the ends of a hollow profile can be forced in over at the ends of the assembly piece.
  • A hollow profile 6 - preferably in the bottom of the frame 1 - has according to the invention at the top along the rear edge a slot 8 of a width b. In the hollow profile is inserted one or more springy elements 9 embodied with a projecting ridge 10, which can engage with a groove 11 in a plane plate member 12, which has a thickness approximately equal to the width b of the slot 8. The plate member 12 has a width B, which is wider than the width of the hollow profile 6, and a length a little shorter than the internal free length of a profile 6 between two connecting pieces 7. When the plate member 12 is to be mounted in the profile 6, the former is forced from above through the opening 8 with the groove 11 facing the ridge 10 on a spring element 9.
  • The transparent plate 2 is - as shown in fig. 5 - fastened at the top, e.g. glued, to the plate member 12. Along the other sides of the frame 1 the plate is fastened by means of magnetic tape 4 to a metal plate 5. When a poster is to be changed for another the transparent plate 2 is bent away from the plate member 12 as shown.
  • As shown the springy element is hollow. It has a top side 13, a bottom side 14 and a front side 15, which on the outside has approximately the same shape as and rests against adjacent sides of the hollow profile 6. The element 9 has a adjacent sides of the hollow profile 6. The element 9 has a convex back 16 with a projecting ridge 10. In its mounted position the back 16 - when the plate member 12 is not inserted - has a distance s from the opposite internal side 17 of the profile 6, which is shorter than the thickness of the plate 12.
  • In the top corner the spring element 9 is embodied with a projecting ridge 18, which can engage with a groove 19 in the underside of the hollow profile 6. At the bottom the clamping member is embodied with a projecting plane plate member 20, which has a back edge 21, which rests against the internal side 17 of the hollow profile 9, whereby the spring element 9 is held in position in the hollow profile 6, both at top and bottom. When the plate member 12 is inserted, it rests against the face 22 of the plate member 20.
  • The shown and described poster frame serves only to illustrate the invention. Within the frame work of the invention it is possible to imagine various modifications. For example, the spring element could be embodied in other ways.
