Definitions

  • This invention relates to hanging display arrangements and in particular to such arrangements for hanging printed sheet material for display.
  • one aspect of the present invention provides an arrangement for hanging printed sheet material for display wherein:
  • said selvedge is provided with a plurality of additional score lines along which the selvedge may be folded over such that a tunnel is provided along the length of the selvedge.
  • a cord, wire or like flexible element may be passed through said tunnel to provide alternative means for hanging of the sheet.
  • the selvedge may comprise four strip-like portions of which the first is generally co- planar with the remainder of the sheet (and, optionally, bears some of the printed matter to the displayed by the sheet), the second projects from the first rearwardly at angle (e.g. 90°) to the first, the third projects forwardly from the second towards the rear face of the remainder of the sheet and the fourth is provided with said tab or tabs.
  • boundaries between the strip-like portions may be defined by lines scored into the sheet, e.g. during printing of the matter to be displayed, and that the folded over relationship of the several strip-like portions provides increased rigidity to the top of the sheet.
  • one or more of the aforesaid score lines may include a plurality of slit-like perforations directed longitudinally of that score line. This can improve flexibility or bending of the sheet about that score line.
  • the length of the or each tab is of sufficient extent as to permit it to protrude through its associated tab-receiving slot when the second and third portions are substantially co-planar. This permits the hanging to be provided as a substantially flat pack or package but nonetheless in an effectively pre-assembled form with the or each tab pre-extending into the or each associated slot.
  • two laterally spaced hoop staples may be attached to the sheet at or adjacent to the fold between the selvedge and the remainder of the sheet, thereby to provide alternative means for hanging the sheet .
  • the hanging arrangement 10 shown in Fig 1 comprises a sheet 12 of paper or card printed on at least one (front) face 14 (not visible in Fig 1).
  • the print area extends at least up to the edge of an upper selvedge 135 adjacent to the peripheral edge 18 of the sheet.
  • the selvedge 135 is bent over along the scored fold line 37 rearwardly of the sheet 12.
  • the selvedge 135 comprises four strip-like portions 135 a , 135 b , 135 c and 135 d .
  • the first portion 135 a is generally co-planar with the remainder of the sheet 12.
  • the second portion 135 b is bent rearwardly of portion 135 a along the first score line 37 to extend at an angle ⁇ (e.g. right angles) to the first portion 135 a .
  • the third portion 13 5 c is bent downwardly and forwardly along a second score line 38 (and in a similar fold direction to that about the first scored line 37) to extend at an angle ⁇ (e.g. of approximately 45°) to the second portion 135 b .
  • the fourth portion 135 d is bent upwardly, in the same fold direction, along a third score line 39 to extend at an angle ⁇ to the third portion 135 c and substantially parallel to the remainder of sheet 12.
  • This fourth portion is provided at its free edge with one or more tab-like extensions 128 that protrude fittingly into and through slots 127 provided in the second strip-like portion 135 b .
  • the tab-like extensions 128 may be preformed with stamped-out apertures 126 for use in hanging of the sheet 12.
  • the second strip-like portion 135 b may be provided with staples or other eyelets (not shown) for use as an alternative hanging means to the apertured tab-like extensions 128.
  • the apertures 26 may be ignored and hanging of the article may be effected by putting a cord or similar element through the tunnel 25 formed by the folded-over selvedge portions.
  • This flexible element - like the apertured tabs or the staples - can then be used to hang the printed sheet 12 from a fixed support to provide a hanging display.
  • two slots 127 for two tabs 128 are provided equidistant from the centre of the width of strip-like portion 135 b .
  • the two slots 127 for tabs 128 are provided in strip-like portion 135 b nearer to, i.e. closely adjacent to (preferably in the line of) the first score line 37.
  • each of the tab-like extensions 128 is of an extent sufficient to permit the tab-like extensions 128 to protrude through the slots 127 provided therefor and to affect this even when the second and third selvedge portions are substantially co-planar. This is achieved by having the aggregate of (a) 'height' of the tab-like extensions 128 and (b) the 'width' of the strip-like fourth portion 135 d to be greater than the aggregate of (c) the'height' or the 'width' of the strip-like second portion 135 b and (d) the 'width' of the strip-like third portion 135 c .
  • Such an arrangement permits the hanging to be provided as a flat-pack package but in a substantially pre-assembled form with the tab-like extensions 128 already extending partially into said slots 127. This removes the need for the end user to effect such tab-into-slot insertion and permits of the arrangement being almost "ready for use”.
  • FIGs 4 and 5 illustrate how, although in a flattened state with portions 135 a and 135 d parallel to one another and with portions 135 b and 135 c in substantially the same plane as one another (and parallel to portions 135 a and 135 d) , the tabs 128 still project through the slots 127.
  • the latter are provided in, or closely adjacent to, the crease or score line 37 providing the boundary between the first and second portions 135 a and 135 b .
  • this crease is provided by two closely-adjacent and mutually parallel score lines 37 a and 37 b with the slots 127 provided in the space between the two mutually parallel score lines 37 a and 37 b .
  • the printed face 14 of sheet 12 can extend to the top of the visible face of the display.
  • the printed image may be applied not only to face 14 but either additionally or alternatively to 'rear' face 24.
  • a mating extension of that image or a banner headline to be associated therewith may be printed on the 'front' face but such as to appear on selvedge strip-like portion 135 c of Fig 1 or of Fig 2 or of Figs 3 to 6.
  • the arrangement 210 comprises a sheet of card 212 printed on its front surface 214 and pre-cut to provide a single central tab 228 projecting from the selvedge 235.
  • the latter has only three identifiable strip-like portions of which the one nearest the main body of sheet 212 is referenced 235 b .
  • the boundary between this strip-like portion 235 b and the main body of sheet 212 is provided by a central elongate tab-receiving slot 227 (shown in full lines) that at each end is continued by a score line 237 (shown in dashed lines) to the nearest edge of the sheet 212. This permits bending of strip-like portion 235 b rearwardly of the sheet.
  • the intermediate strip-like portion 235 c is bounded by a score line 238 from strip-like portion 235 b and by another score line 239 from the selvedge portion 235 d from which central tab 228 extends and with which it is co-planar (and not divided therefrom by any score line).
  • the tab 28 is provided centrally of its length with an aperture 226 for use in hanging of the sheet 212.
  • the width D of selvedge portion 235 with its tab 228 is greater than the aggregate width d of strip-like portions 235 b and 235 c .
  • This means that the hanging can be partially pre-assembled or pre-formed into an almost ready-for-use form by folding the selvedge portion 235 d of card 212 rearwardly about score line 239 and inserting the tip or bending part of tab 228 into the tab-receiving slot 227. This allows the end user of the hanging to simply pull that protruding part of tab 228 further through the slot 227 and reveal the previously obscured (and protected) aperture 226. Consonant with this pulling further through of tab 228, the strip-like portions 235 b and 235 c fold backwards and inwardly towards one another from their previously generally co-planar state.
  • the blank and hanging arrangement 310 of Figs 8 and 9 is similar to that of Fig 7 except for the following main features.
  • the single, central tab 328 is differently shaped and is bounded by a score line 328 a (shown by a short-dashed line) where it adjoins the remainder of end selvedge portion 335 d .
  • the tab 328 is provided with undercut portions 328 b adjacent its base and leading to the line of score line 328 a .
  • score line 339 between selvedge portions 335 d and 335 c
  • score line 338 between selvedge portions 335 c and the main body of the arrangement's card 312.
  • Each of the score lines 338,339 includes a series of cut through slits. These are shown by the long-dashed lines in Figs 7 and 8, and are provided to facilitate bending of the card 312 about these score lines.
  • the line of tab-receiving slot 327 is spaced slightly from the line of the score line 337 (that provides the boundary between the strip-like selvedge portion 335 b and the main body of card 312), and also has short slit-like extensions 327 a directed at an acute angle to the main line of tab-receiving slot 327 that assist in forming a locking tab 327 b for the main tab 328.
  • the top edge of selvedge portion 325 d ⁇ from which tab 328 extends ⁇ is referenced 335 e .
  • main tab 328 is inserted into the tab-receiving slot 327 (i.e. beneath the locking tab 327 b ).
  • the resultant arrangement is of "flat-pack" form suiting it for storage, stacking and mailing to an end user.
  • the protruding tip 328 c of tab 328 is pulled further through the slot 327 until the small slit-like extensions 327 a marry up with the similarly angled, undercut portions 328 b at the base of tab 328 and assist in locking of tab 328 in position.
  • the above-described and illustrated embodiments of the invention provide a tunnel of generally triangular cross-section
  • the general cross-sectional shape of the tunnel can be altered.
  • hanging arrangements can be provided having 4, 5 or more selvedge portions folded about 4, 5 or more score lines.
  • Very many narrow selvedge portions can be formed into a generally semi-circular formation with a wider selvedge portion ⁇ terminating in a tab (such as 28, 128, 228 or 328) ⁇ extending across the "diameter" of the generally semi-circular formation.
  • a hanging arrangement may comprise just two selvedge portions folded about just two score lines, the selvedge portion extending from the main body of the sheet being bent manually to generally semi-circular form (without any pre-ordained score lines) and the other selvedge portion (with its tab termination) extending "diametrically" to the generally semi-circular selvedge portion formation.
  • the above-described and illustrated embodiments lend themselves to good quality display of print material printed not only on the front face 14, 214, 314 of the blank 12, 212, 312, but also printed on the rear face 24, 324, of the blank.
  • the rear face (24, 324) is printed normally with the whole of the main body's area being safely available for the print material (e.g. print copy and design) to be displayed.
  • all the selvedge portions can bear decoration matching the matter printed on the main area and thus appear as an extension of the design.
  • the front face (14, 314) may be printed with a similar or different image to that on the front face. Again the main body area is safely available for the print matter to be displayed.
  • next adjacent selvedge portion (135 b , 235 b , 335 b ) will only be visible from above and ideally therefore should provide for bleeding of the image between these two areas.
  • the print material on the next selvedge portion (135 c , 235 c , 335 c ) should ideally be created from the corresponding areas on the rear face but be rotated through 180°.
  • a similar image-rotation arrangement may be provided for the last, tab-adjacent selvedge portion (135 d , 235 d , 335 d ).
  • the substrate for the display can be paper, card, board or of synthetic material; and that printing may be effected by a lithographic, silkscreen, or digital printing process.
  • the substrate used is selected to give a good colour and image reproduction whilst maintaining a level of opacity sufficient to prevent image show-through from one side to the other.
  • each aperture 26, 226 may be formed as an undercut in a lateral edge of the tab to shape the tab into a hook-like formation.
