    • Description d'un exemple de réalisationDescription of an example embodiment

    Selon l'ensemble des figures on voit que l'invention assemble dans un "kit" de montage trois types de pièces destinées à conformer par leur solidarisation amovible une ossature porteuse en trois dimensions mettant en périphérie les plaquettes à picots aptes à recevoir par embrochement sur les dits picots des pièces unitaires de confiserie, tels des bonbons à l'état relativement pâteux pour se fixer sur les picots. According to all the figures, it can be seen that the invention assembles in a "kit" of mounting three types of parts intended to conform by their solidarity a three-dimensional load-bearing framework on the periphery spiked plates adapted to receive by skewing on the so-called pins of single pieces of confectionery, such as candies in a relatively pasty state for fix on the pimples.

    Les éléments de cet ensemble sont au nombre de trois : les noeuds de jonction 1, les plaquettes à picots 2 et les tubes de liaison 3The elements of this set are three in number: junction nodes 1, pellet platelets 2 and connecting tubes 3

    Un noeud de jonction est représenté à la figure 1A et il se compose d'un manchon creux 10, ouvert à ses deux extrémités. Sur les parois périphériques du corps cylindrique 10 se raccordent trois excroissances divergentes de forme cylindrique 11, 12 et 13 dont les axes forment avec l'axe central du cylindre 10 un angle de 45° ; Les trois excroissances divergentes sont disposées à équidistance et elles permettent le raccordement sur le noeud de jonction de tubes ou tiges de liaison 3. Une première extrémité du manchon présente une embouchure libre 14; formée de la section droite du manchon cylindrique 10, tandis que la seconde extrémité 15 est munie de trois languettes 16, 17 et 18 équidistantes et prolongeant la paroi du cylindre 10.A junction node is shown in Figure 1A and consists of a sleeve hollow 10, open at both ends. On the peripheral walls of the body cylindrical 10 are connected three divergent protuberances of cylindrical shape 11, 12 and 13 whose axes form with the central axis of the cylinder 10 an angle of 45 °; The three divergent outgrowths are arranged equidistant and they allow the connection on the junction node of tubes or connecting rods 3. A first end of the sleeve has a free mouth 14; formed of the straight section of the cylindrical sleeve 10, while the second end 15 is provided with three tongues 16, 17 and 18 equidistant and extending the wall of the cylinder 10.

    La figure 1B montre une vue en coupe d'une plaquette à picots, dont on voit par ailleurs des vues en perspective sur les figures 3A et suivantes. La plaquette 2 se forme d'un disque 20, pourvu sur sa périphérie d'un rebord ou ceinture cylindrique 21, d'où émergent des picots radiaux 22 23 et des picots 24, 25, perpendiculaires au plan discal. Au centre du disque on a prévu deux logements borgnes 26 et 27 ouverts sur chaque face du disque et dont le fond médian 28, coplanaire au disque 20, supporte un picot central 29FIG. 1B shows a sectional view of a pinned plate, which can be seen by elsewhere perspective views in Figures 3A and following. The plate 2 is form of a disc 20, provided on its periphery with a rim or cylindrical belt 21, from which emerge radial pins 22 23 and pins 24, 25, perpendicular at the disc level. At the center of the disc, two blind houses 26 and 27 are planned. open on each face of the disc and whose median bottom 28, coplanar to the disc 20, supports a central pin 29

    Le dernier élément composant l'ensemble pour la construction de l'ossature est formé de simples tubes de liaison 3 propres à être emboítés sur les excroissances divergentes 11, 12 et 13 des noeuds de liaison, par une extrémité et dans un logement borgne 26 ou 27 d'une plaquette 2 par leur autre extrémité.The last element composing the assembly for the construction of the frame is formed of simple connecting tubes 3 adapted to be fitted on the growths diverging 11, 12 and 13 of the connecting nodes, at one end and in a blind housing 26 or 27 of a plate 2 at their other end.

    L'invention vise notamment un ensemble comportant une pluralité de chacun des éléments: plaquettes à picots, noeuds de jonction et tiges de liaison, en nombre de préférence supérieur à trois pour chaque élément et sans limitation supérieure, le nombre élevé d'éléments permettant une multiplicité de formes réalisables dont les figures 3A et suivantes ne donnent que quelques exemples. The invention aims in particular at a set comprising a plurality of each of the elements: spiked plates, junction nodes and connecting rods, in number of preferably greater than three for each element and without any upper limit, the number of elements allowing a multiplicity of realizable forms Figures 3A and following give only a few examples.

    Les tiges de liaison peuvent étant raccordées par trois sur un noeud de jonction et se brancher par leur autre extrémité chacune sur un autre noeud de liaison, d'où peuvent partir à nouveau trois tiges de liaison créant une arborescence théoriquement illimitée. Les plaquettes circulaires à picots peuvent s'implanter sur l'extrémité des tiges de liaison (figures 3A à 4B) notamment dans les configurations coniques pointe en bas, correspondant à une présentation en bouquet.The connecting rods can be connected in pairs on a junction node and connect each other end to another link node, hence can again start three link rods creating a tree theoretically unlimited. Circular pimpled inserts can be implanted on the end of the connecting rods (FIGS. 3A to 4B), particularly in the conical configurations point down, corresponding to a presentation in bouquet.

    Les plaquettes peuvent également se fixer sur les noeuds de jonction, les languettes 16, 17, 18 d'un noeud pouvant s'engager dans le logement 26 ou 27 central prévu sur le disque 20 de la dite plaquette. Comme on le voit sur la figure 2 et sur la figure 6 deux noeuds de jonction disposés en opposition, dos à dos peuvent ainsi orienter les tiges de liaison qu'ils supportent dans des orientations respectivement vers le haut et vers le bas, les deux noeuds accouplés enserrant entre eux une plaquette à picot.The platelets can also be fixed on the junction nodes, the tongues 16, 17, 18 of a node engageable in the housing 26 or 27 Central provided on the disk 20 of said plate. As seen in the figure 2 and in FIG. 6 two joining knots arranged in opposition, back to back can thus orient the connecting rods that support in orientations respectively up and down, the two coupled nodes entangling between them a picot plate.

    Il est ainsi possible de réaliser des formes volumiques multiples, cylindriques, parallélépipédiques, polyédriques.It is thus possible to produce multiple, cylindrical volume shapes, parallelepipedic, polyhedral.

    L'objet final et l'intérêt de l'invention est d'obtenir un montage de supports (les plaquettes à picots) dispersés dans l'espace pour l'exposition et la présentation cohérente et esthétique, de produits, notamment des produits alimentaires, offerts au choix des consommateurs. En ajustant convenablement les longueurs des tiges de liaison on peut réaliser des présentations par groupes, par exemple les produits de couleurs appropriés regroupés sur une plaquette figurant une fleur, l'ensemble des plaquettes constituant alors un bouquet de bonbons ou confiseries. On pourra à partir de tiges plus courtes (facilement mises à longueur) réaliser des ensembles plus compactés et présentant une surface garnie continue derrière laquelle l'ossature porteuse de l'invention sera finalement occultée, ne laissant apparaítre qu'une masse accumulée de produits. The final object and the interest of the invention is to obtain a mounting of supports (the pellet platelets) scattered throughout the space for exhibition and presentation consistent and aesthetic, of products, including food products, offered at the choice of the consumers. By properly adjusting the lengths of the stems liaison group presentations can be made, for example appropriate color products grouped together on a wafer depicting a flower, the set of wafers then constituting a bouquet of sweets or confectionery. It will be possible from shorter stems (easily put to length) to make more compacted and with a continuous packed surface behind which the carrier structure of the invention will finally be obscured, leaving to appear as an accumulated mass of products.

    Bien que décrite dans le cadre de son application à la présentation de produits alimentaires sucrés, l'invention s'appliquera aisément à la mise en vue du public et à la mise en valeur de produits exposés à la vente ou au choix des personnes présentes.Although described as part of its application to the presentation of food products the invention will easily apply to public display and the development of products exposed to the sale or choice of those present.

    Les moyens de l'invention peuvent comporter diverses variantes et adaptations ; ainsi Le noeud de jonction peut présenter un manchon central dont l'alésage interne est libre et traversant, pouvant recevoir une tige de liaison engagée par une extrémité dans le manchon et ressortant par l'autre, le noeud de jonction étant ainsi fermement bloqué sur sa tige support et permettant les ramifications latérales selon ce qui a été décrit ; la plaquette à picot pourra pareillement être prévue avec les logements 28 et 27 communiquant entre eux, ce qui permet là encore l'engagement d'une tige de liaison traversante au centre de la plaquette. Cette plaquette peut être fabriquée d'origine avec ces logements 28 et 27 en communication, tout comme on peut prévoir que le picot central 29 est monté sur le disque par un voile ou des brins de matiére facilement retirés, la plaquette pouvant alors être utilisée avec ou sans son picot central.The means of the invention may comprise various variants and adaptations; So the knot junction may have a central sleeve whose internal bore is free and through, capable of receiving a connecting rod engaged by one end in the sleeve and emerging by the other, the junction node thus being firmly locked on its support rod and allowing the lateral branches according to what has been described; the picot plate can likewise be provided with dwellings 28 and 27 communicating with each other, which again allows the engagement of a connecting rod through the center of the wafer. This plate can be made from these homes 28 and 27 in communication, just as we can provide that the central pin 29 is mounted on the disk by a veil or strands of material easily removed, the wafer can then be used with or without its central pin.
