De tels produits, souvent objet de cadeau à l'occasion de fêtes, gagnent en valeur par une présentation originale étalée et agréable à l'oeil, par rapport à une simple accumulation en vrac dans une boite ou un paquet ; d'autant qu'un étalage en surface, outre l'élégance et l'esthétique de la présentation, facilite le choix sans avoir à remuer les produits en vrac.Such products, often the object of a holiday gift, are enhanced by an original display that is pleasing and pleasing to the eye, compared to a simple accumulation in bulk in a box or package; Especially as a display on the surface, in addition to the elegance and aesthetics of the presentation, facilitates the choice without having to stir the bulk products.
On connaît par les brevets français publiés 2 742 643 et 2 770 440 au nom du demandeur de tels supports pour la présentation de produits de confiserie enfichés sur un support en vue de réaliser des figurines à partir de l'assemblage de confiseries ou bonbons. Ces supports sont formés dans cet art antérieur de socles de conformation générale plane ce qui limite les possibilités créatives à des présentations en surface et bidimensionnelles.It is known from the French patents published 2,742,643 and 2,770,440 in the name of the applicant such media for the presentation of confectionery products plugged on a support for making figurines from the assembly of confectionery or sweets. These supports are formed in this prior art of flat general conformation pedestals which limits the creative possibilities to surface and two-dimensional presentations.
Une structure porteuse apte à recevoir des pièces de nature alimentaire est connue de DE 490 450.A bearing structure capable of receiving parts of a food type is known from DE 490 450.
L'invention vise à étendre les possibilités d'assemblage et de présentation à des formes tridimensionnelles et en adoptant des configurations variées dans l'espace, ce qui multiplie l'intérêt de ces supports, en faisant varier considérablement les possibilités de présentations originales et créatives.The invention aims to extend the possibilities of assembly and presentation to three-dimensional shapes and by adopting various configurations in space, which multiplies the interest of these supports, by considerably varying the possibilities of original and creative presentations.
A cet effet l'invention concerne un ensemble pour la conformation de structures porteuses aptes à recevoir des pièces unitaires à l'état pâteux et notamment de nature alimentaire, tels que des produits de confiserie, ainsi exposées cote à cote selon une présentation volumique, caractérisé en ce que cet ensemble est constitué : a) d'une pluralité de plaquettes pourvues de picots aptes à recevoir par embrochement les dites pièces pâteuses, ces plaquettes comportant sur une face constituant leur verso une inégalité de surface, notamment un alésage propre à permettre la fixation amovible de la plaquette sur un noeud de jonction, soit directement, soit par l'intermédiaire d'une tige de liaison, b) une pluralité de noeuds de jonction pourvus de reliefs propres à permettre la solidarisation amovible de tels noeuds sur une dite plaquette soit directement soit par l'intermédiaire de tiges de liaison ; c) une pluralité de tiges de liaison notamment tubulaires aptes à être emboîtées par une extrémité sur une plaquette et par une autre extrémité sur un noeud de jonctionFor this purpose the invention relates to an assembly for the conformation of carrier structures able to receive single pieces in the pasty state and in particular of food type, such as confectionery products, and exposed side by side in a volume presentation, characterized in that this assembly consists of: a) a plurality of plates provided with pins capable of receiving by skewering said pasty pieces, these plates having on one side constituting their back uneven surface, including a bore adapted to allow the removable attachment of the wafer on a junction node, either directly or via a connecting rod, b) a plurality of junction nodes provided with reliefs adapted to allow the removable attachment of such nodes on a said wafer either directly or via connecting rods; c) a plurality of particularly tubular connecting rods adapted to be nested by one end on a plate and by another end on a junction node

Selon une autre caractéristique les plaquettes sont formées de disques pourvus d'une ceinture en section de cylindre, la dite ceinture portant des picots radiaux d'une part et des picots perpendiculaires au plan du disque d'autre part.According to another characteristic the plates are formed of disks provided with a belt in cylinder section, said belt bearing radial pins on the one hand and pins perpendicular to the disk plane on the other hand.
Le manchon creux constituant le noeud de jonction comporte à une première extrémité un logement femelle pour la réception soit d'une tige de liaison, soit d'une plaquette support à picots, et l'extrémité opposée ou seconde extrémité du dit manchon est pourvue de languettes prolongeant le corps du manchon cylindrique et équidistantes entre elles et de configuration permettant leur insertion entre les languettes de la seconde extrémité d'un noeud disposé symétriquement, les deux noeuds opposés dos à dos s'interpénétrant par leurs dites languettes pour leur jumelage, les deux manchons ainsi accouplés dos à dos offrant pour un manchon des départs divergents vers le haut pour les tiges de liaison et pour l'autre manchon des départs orientés vers le bas.The hollow sleeve constituting the junction node comprises at a first end a female housing for receiving either a connecting rod or a pinned support plate, and the opposite end or second end of said sleeve is provided with tongues extending the body of the cylindrical sleeve and equidistant from each other and configuration for insertion between the tabs of the second end of a symmetrically arranged node, the two opposite back-to-back knots interpenetrating by their said tongues for their twinning, the two sleeves and coupled back to back providing for a sleeve divergent upward departures for the connecting rods and for the other sleeve of the downward directed departures.
L'invention concerne encore une structure volumique offrant sur sa périphérie des moyens de repos, sous forme de picots, pour l'embrochement de pièces à l'état pâteux, notamment de produits de confiserie et caractérisée en ce qu'elle est constituée d'un ensemble conforme aux caractéristiques ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a volume structure providing on its periphery resting means, in the form of pins, for the skewering of parts in the pasty state, in particular of confectionery products and characterized in that it consists of an assembly conforming to the above characteristics.
L'invention concerne enfin une telle structure volumique, notamment de forme générale conique à pointe orientée vers le haut ou orientée vers le bas et comportant sur sa surface périphérique des produits de confiserie formant un surfaçage décoratif et étalés pour leur présentation et leur sélection.Finally, the invention relates to such a volume structure, in particular of generally conical shape with a tip oriented upwards or downwards and having on its peripheral surface confectionery products forming a decorative surfacing and spread for presentation and selection.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui suit et qui est donnée en rapport avec quelques exemples de réalisation de l'invention présentés à titre d'illustration et en se référant aux dessins annexés.Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows and which is given with reference to some exemplary embodiments of the invention presented by way of illustration and with reference to the appended drawings.

- Les figures 5A, 5B et 5C représentent des vues respectivement en plan (5A), en élévation latérale (5B) et en perspective (5C) d'un montage plus complexe comportant 10 plaquettes à picots assemblés en cône pointe en haut ou en "pièce montée"FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C show respectively plan (5A), side elevation (5B) and perspective (5C) views of a more complex assembly comprising 10 spike plates assembled in a cone tip at the top or in a "piece" climb"
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 of the figures, it can be seen that the invention assembles, in a "kit", three types of parts intended to conform, by their removable attachment, a three-dimensional load-bearing framework surrounding the spiked plates capable of receiving by skewing on the periphery. the so-called pimples of the single pieces of confectionery, such as candies in the relatively pasty state to attach to 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: the junction nodes 1, the
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
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 29Figure 1B shows a sectional view of a pinned plate, which is also seen in perspective views in Figures 3A and following. The
Le dernier élément composant l'ensemble pour la construction de l'ossature est formé de simples tubes de liaison 3 propres à être emboîtés 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 framework is formed of simple connecting tubes 3 adapted to be nested on the
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 an assembly comprising a plurality of each of the elements: pin plates, junction nodes and connecting rods, in number preferably greater than three for each element and without upper limit, the high number of elements allowing a multiplicity of realizable shapes, of which FIGS. 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 by three on a junction node and connect at their other end each to another link node, from which can again start three connecting rods creating a theoretically unlimited tree. The circular pimpled plates may be located on the end of the connecting rods (FIGS. 3A to 4B), particularly in conical configurations pointing downwards, corresponding to a bouquet presentation.
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 pads can also be fixed on the junction nodes,
Il est ainsi possible de réaliser des formes volumiques multiples, cylindriques, parallélépipédiques, polyédriques.It is thus possible to produce multiple volume shapes, cylindrical, 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 apparaître qu'une masse accumulée de produits.The final object and the interest of the invention is to obtain a mounting of supports (pinned platelets) dispersed in space for the exhibition and the coherent and aesthetic presentation of products, in particular food products, offered to consumers. By suitably adjusting the lengths of the connecting rods it is possible to produce presentations in groups, for example the appropriate color products grouped together on a wafer representing a flower, the set of wafers then constituting a bouquet of candies or confectionery. It will be possible from shorter stems (easily put to length) to make more compacted assemblies and having a continuous packed surface behind which the carrier frame of the invention will finally be obscured, revealing only 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 in the context of its application to the presentation of sweet food products, the invention will easily apply to the public display and development of products exposed to sale or the 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; Thus the junction node may have a central sleeve whose inner bore is free and through, which can receive a connecting rod engaged by one end in the sleeve and out the other, the junction node thus being firmly locked on its support rod and allowing the lateral branches as described; the pin plate may also be provided with the

- Assembly according to claim 1, characterized in that the junction nodes (1) consist of a sleeve tube (10) comprising at at least one end a bore (14) shaped so as to be engaged by a plate with sprockets or by a connecting rod.
- Assembly according to claim 2, characterized in that the central sleeve tube (10) which forms the junction node bears on its outer walls outwardly diverging bores (11, 12, 13) capable of being engaged by connecting rods (3).
- Assembly according to claim 3, characterized in that said bores consist of recessed (female) or projecting (male) cylindrical protuberances (11, 12, 13) designed to have a connecting rod fitted therein.
- Assembly according to claim 4, characterized in that said protuberances (11, 12 and 13) forming an outlet and bases of diverging rods are oriented at 45° in relation to the central axis of the sleeve tube.
- Assembly according to claim 5, characterized in that said protuberances forming an outlet for fixing connecting rods are three in number disposed equidistantly on the circumference of the outer body of said central sleeve tube.
- Assembly according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the plates (2) are formed of discs (20) fitted with a belt in the form of a cylindrical section (21), said belt bearing radial sprockets (22, 23) on the one hand and sprockets (24, 25) perpendicular to the plane of the disc on the other hand.
- Assembly according to claim 2 or claim 3, characterized in that the hollow sleeve tube (10) which forms the junction node comprises at a first end a female cavity (14) for receiving either a connecting rod (3) or a sprocket-bearing plate (2), and the opposite or second end of said sleeve tube is fitted with tabs (16, 17, 18) which extend the body of the cylindrical sleeve tube, which tabs are equidistant from one another and which are configured so as to allow them to be inserted between the tabs of the second end of a symmetrically disposed node, whereby the two opposite nodes back to back interpenetrate one another through their said tabs in order to be twinned, and the two sleeve tubes thus coupled back to back provide, in the case of one sleeve tube, upwardly diverging outlets for the connecting rods and, in the case of the other sleeve tube, downwardly oriented outlets.
- Voluminal structure providing on its periphery rest means, in the form of sprockets, for skewering units in the pasty state, in particular confectionery products, and characterized in that said structure consists of an assembly according to at least one of claims 1 to 8 above,
