Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'affichage, notamment utilisé pour maintenir des afficheurs électroniques ou encore pour disposer de simples étiquettes.The present invention relates to a display device, in particular used to maintain electronic displays or to have simple tags.

Les dispositifs et systèmes d'affichage sont utilisés principalement dans les magasins, grandes surfaces ou autres, afin de présenter des étiquettes comportant des informations, notamment le prix des articles à la vue des clients.Display devices and systems are used primarily in stores, supermarkets or others, to present labels with information, including the price of items in the view of customers.

En général, les articles sont stockés sur deux types de rayonnage dans les surfaces de vente. Ils peuvent être simplement posés sur un étage de rayon ou encore être pendus à des crochets se présentant sous la forme d'une barre supportrice montée en porte-à-faux à une paroi ou un mur et présentant à son extrémité une barre arrêtoir perpendiculaire.In general, articles are stored on two types of shelving in sales areas. They can be simply placed on a shelf floor or be hanged to hooks in the form of a support bar cantilevered to a wall or wall and having at its end a perpendicular stop bar.

Les dispositifs d'affichage sont alors généralement solidarisés sur deux types de crampons de solidarisation correspondants. Ils sont, soit fixés dans un rail encore appelé crampon à rayon, dans le cas d'une simple étagère, ou ils sont fixés à ladite barre perpendiculaire desdits crochets, encore appelés crampon à crochet.The display devices are then generally secured to two types of corresponding fastening studs. They are either fixed in a rail also called spoke clamp, in the case of a simple shelf, or they are attached to said perpendicular bar of said hooks, also called hook crampon.

Suivant la hauteur du support des articles, dans un souci d'ergonomie et de visibilité, lesdits dispositifs d'affichage doivent idéalement pouvoir être vus par les consommateurs suivant une position moyenne qui doit rester la même pour tous les articles. Le consommateur doit pouvoir avoir accès à l'information sans devoir se baisser pour lire l'étiquette et notamment le prix des articles présentés sur un support inférieur, ou encore s'approcher du support le plus haut.Depending on the height of the support items, for the sake of ergonomics and visibility, said display devices should ideally be seen by consumers in an average position that must remain the same for all items. The consumer must be able to access the information without having to bend down to read the label and in particular the price of the articles presented on a lower support, or to approach the highest support.

II est donc avantageux que les prix soient donc affichés et orientés vers le bas dans le cas des étagères supérieures et orientés vers le haut dans le cas des étagères inférieures pour être vus d'une position moyenne.It is therefore advantageous that the prices are thus displayed and oriented downwards in the case of the upper shelves and facing upwards in the case of the lower shelves to be seen from an average position.

On connaît un dispositif d'affichage, apte à être fixé à un rail ou crampon de rayon, et présentant des moyens pour être inclinés suivant une position intermédiaire orientée vers le haut, voir par exemple le document US-A-5 375 357 qui est considéré comme étant l'état de la technique le plus proche. Néanmoins, dans le cas des étagères à plusieurs rayons, telles que l'on en trouve dans les grandes surfaces, ce dispositif présente une variabilité d'orientation trop limitée. En outre, s'il est adapté pour orienter l'étiquette de prix suivant un angle convenable de vision pour certaines des étagères inférieures, il ne permet pas d'orienter notamment vers le bas, l'étiquette de prix pour les étagères supérieures.A display device is known that can be attached to a rail or radius cleat, and having means to be inclined in an intermediate position facing upwards, see for example the document US-A-5 375 357 which is considered to be the state of the art closest. However, in the case of multi-spoke shelves, such as found in large areas, this device has a too limited orientation variability. In addition, if it is adapted to orient the price tag at a suitable viewing angle for some of the lower shelves, it does not allow to steer including down, the price tag for the upper shelves.

De plus, de tels dispositifs d'affichage ne sont compatibles qu'avec un crampon de solidarisation avec un rail et ne permet pas d'être adapté aux autres supports de fixation existants, tels que des crochets de suspension.In addition, such display devices are only compatible with a securing stud with a rail and does not allow to be adapted to other existing mounting brackets, such as suspension hooks.

Par ailleurs, le prix et autres informations peuvent être désormais exposés par des afficheurs électroniques, pouvant avoir des dimensions différentes suivant le dispositif. De tels dispositifs d'affichage électroniques n'ont pas de moyen pour être adaptés suivant les différentes configurations d'afficheurs.Moreover, the price and other information may now be exposed by electronic displays, which may have different dimensions depending on the device. Such electronic display devices have no means to be adapted to the different display configurations.

Ainsi, un chef de rayon, ayant plusieurs éléments de structures différentes à afficher sur différents types de crampon de fixation, devrait suivant les dispositifs disponibles de l'état de la technique, disposer un dispositif d'affichage différent pour chaque combinaison ; élément à afficher, crampon de rayon.Thus, a spoke head, having several elements of different structures to display on different types of clamp, should according to the available devices of the state of the art, have a different display device for each combination; item to display, radius crampon.

La présente invention se propose donc de pallier les inconvénients précités. En particulier, un but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif d'affichage, apte à s'orienter vers le haut ou vers le bas suivant un angle de vision convenable, et pouvant, en outre, être modulable suivant le type de crampon de fixation et d'élément à exposer.The present invention therefore proposes to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks. In particular, an object of the invention is to provide a display device, able to move upwards or downwards according to a suitable viewing angle, and may, in addition, be adjustable depending on the type of crampon fixing and element to expose.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif d'affichage qui peut être facilement et rapidement assemblé.Another object of the invention is to provide a display device that can be easily and quickly assembled.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif d'affichage présentant des moyens de fixation antivol.Another object of the invention is to provide a display device having antitheft fixing means.

D'autres buts et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, qui n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif, et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter.Other aims and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, which is given for information only, and which is not intended to limit it.

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'affichage, notamment pour l'affichage électronique des prix, apte à pouvoir orienter un élément à afficher suivant un angle de vision.The invention relates to a display device, especially for the electronic display of prices, capable of being able to orient an element to be displayed according to an angle of vision.

Le dispositif comprend, tout d'abord d'une part, des premiers moyens de fixation 1, 3, 30 à un crampon de solidarisation 11, 23, 24 au rayonnage, et d'autre part, des seconds moyens de fixation 18, notamment à l'élément affiché,.The device comprises, firstly on the one hand, first fixing means 1, 3, 30 with a fastening stud 11, 23, 24 on the rack, and on the other hand, second fastening means 18, in particular to the displayed element ,.

En outre, selon l'invention, le dispositif comporte des moyens de rotation 4, 5 et/ou des moyens d'indexation 17, 22 faisant interface entre lesdits premiers moyens de fixation au crampon de solidarisation et lesdits seconds moyens de fixation à l'élément à afficher.In addition, according to the invention, the device comprises rotation means 4, 5 and / or indexing means 17, 22 interfacing between said first fastening means to the fastening stud and said second fixing means to the item to display.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation du dispositif conforme à l'invention, notamment illustré à la figure 1, lesdits premiers moyens de fixation comportent un cavalier 1 présentant une structure en C 2, 17, maintenu et apte à coulisser avec une structure en Ω d'un rail 11 fixé au rayonnage.According to a first embodiment of the device according to the invention, in particular illustrated in FIG. 1, said first fixing means comprise a jumper 1 having a C 2, 17 structure, maintained and able to slide with an Ω d structure. a rail 11 fixed to the rack.

La structure en C peut notamment se présenter sous la forme de deux jambes 2 s'éloignant du dos d'un cavalier 1, l'extrémité des jambes 2 étant maintenue avec la structure en Ω d'un rail 11 par des profilés 12.The structure in C can in particular be in the form of two legs 2 away from the back of a rider 1, the end of the legs 2 being maintained with the Ω structure of a rail 11 by profiles 12.

Ce système de fixation à un crampon de rayon peut avantageusement, lors de la mise en oeuvre de l'information à afficher, notamment des étiquettes de prix, être déplacé et coulisser sur le rail, le dispositif d'affichage étant positionné devant la rangée d'articles concernés.This attachment system to a spoke cleat can advantageously, during the implementation of the information to display, including price tags, be moved and slide on the rail, the display device being positioned in front of the row of articles concerned.

Selon un mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 3 à 6 notamment, lorsque le dispositif est correctement positionné sur le crampon à rayon, les premiers moyens de fixation 1 peuvent être solidarisés de façon à interdire tout déplacement dudit cavalier 1 suivant ledit rail 11 avec des moyens de freinage 13. Ces moyens de freinage 13 constituent par ailleurs un moyen antivol.According to an embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 6 in particular, when the device is correctly positioned on the radius cleat, the first fastening means 1 can be secured so as to prevent any movement of said jumper 1 along said rail 11 with means These braking means 13 also constitute antitheft means.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de freinage se présentent sous la forme d'une serrure rotative 13 interdisant tout déplacement dudit cavalier 1 suivant le rail 11. Ladite serrure rotative 13 est constituée d'un corps cylindrique 15 présentant à son extrémité basse une base 14 de dimension supérieure. Ladite base 14 est de forme générale rectangulaire avec deux grands côtés de longueur légèrement supérieure à la distance séparant les jambes 2 du cavalier 1. Les deux petits côtés sont de longueur inférieure à la distance séparant les bords des profilés 12 du rail 11. Cette serrure rotative 13 est située dans l'évidement créé entre les jambes 2 du cavalier 1, le dos du cavalier 17 et le rail 11. Ledit corps cylindrique 15 de la serrure rotative 13 traverse et dépasse du dos du cavalier 17 par l'extrémité haute du corps cylindrique 15. La serrure rotative 13 présente à cette extrémité une tête apte à recevoir une clé d'actionnement. Ladite tête peut notamment présenter une empreinte 16, notamment de forme hexagonale, apte à coopérer avec une clé Allen.According to one embodiment of the invention, the braking means are in the form of a rotary lock 13 preventing any movement of said rider 1 along the rail 11. Said rotary lock 13 consists of a cylindrical body 15 presenting its lower end a base 14 of greater size. Said base 14 is of generally rectangular shape with two long sides of length slightly greater than the distance separating the legs 2 of the rider 1. The two short sides are of shorter length than the distance separating the edges of the profiles 12 of the rail 11. This lock rotary 13 is located in the recess created between the legs 2 of the rider 1, the back of the rider 17 and the rail 11. Said cylindrical body 15 of the rotary lock 13 crosses and protrudes from the back of the rider 17 by the upper end of the cylindrical body 15. The rotary lock 13 has at this end a head adapted to receive an actuating key. Said head may in particular have an impression 16, in particular of hexagonal shape, adapted to cooperate with an Allen key.

Ladite serrure 13 vient, lorsqu'elle est tournée presser l'extrémité basse desdites jambes 2 contre les profilés 12 dudit rail 11, par l'intermédiaire d'un chanfrein au niveau de la base 14. L'action exercée par les jambes 2 sur lesdits profilés 12 engendre, grâce au phénomène de friction, des efforts transversaux à cette ligne d'action, qui s'opposent à tout déplacement du cavalier 1 suivant ledit rail 11.Said lock 13 comes, when it is turned pressing the lower end of said legs 2 against the profiles 12 of said rail 11, via a chamfer at the base 14. The action exerted by the legs 2 on said profiles 12 generates, thanks to the phenomenon of friction, transverse forces to this line of action, which oppose any displacement of the jumper 1 along said rail 11.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de fixation à un rail, illustré aux figures 10 à 12, le cavalier 1' n'est pas maintenu directement par les profilés 12 du rail 11. Les moyens de fixation du cavalier 1' au rail 11 sont alors constitués, de manière connue, par une came pivotante 80 présentant une base 82 de forme générale rectangulaire, et apte à se bloquer dans le rail 11. Ladite base 82 présente deux petits côtés de longueur inférieure à la distance séparant les bords des profilés 12 du rail 11, de telle façon à pouvoir être insérés longitudinalement dans le rail.According to another embodiment of attachment to a rail, illustrated in Figures 10 to 12, the rider 1 'is not maintained directly by the profiles 12 of the rail 11. The means for fixing the rider 1' to the rail 11 are then constituted, in known manner, by a pivoting cam 80 having a base 82 of generally rectangular shape, and able to lock in the rail 11. Said base 82 has two small sides of length less than the distance separating the edges of the profiles 12 of the rail 11, so as to be inserted longitudinally in the rail.

Ladite base 82 présente deux grands côtés de longueur supérieure à la distance séparant les bords des profilés 12 du rail 11 et inférieure à la largeur maximale dans le rail.Said base 82 has two long sides longer than the distance separating the edges of the profiles 12 of the rail 11 and less than the maximum width in the rail.

Selon un mode de réalisation, ladite base 82 présente, notamment au niveau de ses extrémités, des moyens 83 de rehaussement constitués par des parties chanfreinées et aptes à coopérer, lorsque la came 80 est tournée de 90 °, par friction avec les ailes inférieures des profilés 12 du rail 11.According to one embodiment, said base 82 has, especially at its ends, means 83 for raising constituted by chamfered portions and adapted to cooperate, when the cam 80 is rotated 90 °, by friction with the lower wings of the profiles 12 of the rail 11.

Un corps cylindrique en deux parties 84, 86 s'élève de ladite base 82 et constitue au niveau d'un rétrécissement de section 85 une surface d'appui pour le cavalier 1'.A two-part cylindrical body 84, 86 rises from said base 82 and constitutes at a narrowing of section 85 a bearing surface for the rider 1 '.

La partie supérieure 86 du corps cylindrique présente radialement deux oreilles diamétralement opposées, qui peuvent traverser une ouverture correspondante 40 dans le dos du cavalier 1'. Lorsque la came 80 est tournée, lesdites oreilles 81 font saillie avec le dos du cavalier 1' pour retenir ce dernier. L'extrémité de la partie supérieure 86 du corps cylindrique, peut présenter avantageusement une empreinte 16, notamment apte à recevoir une clé Allen.The upper portion 86 of the cylindrical body radially has two diametrically opposed lugs, which can pass through a corresponding opening 40 in the back of the rider 1 '.

The end of the upper portion 86 of the cylindrical body, may advantageously have a cavity 16, in particular adapted to receive an Allen key.

Avantageusement, le cavalier 1' peut présenter deux bords 2' longitudinaux aptes à coopérer avec les bords des profilés 12 du rail 11, afin de centrer ledit cavalier 1' au rail 11.Advantageously, the rider 1 'may have two longitudinal edges 2' able to cooperate with the edges of the profiles 12 of the rail 11, in order to center said rider 1 'to the rail 11.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation du dispositif conforme à l'invention, notamment illustré à la figure 2, lesdits premiers moyens de fixation sont aptes à être fixés à un crampon à crochets. Ils se présentent alors sous la forme d'une mâchoire élastique 3 à l'intérieur de laquelle est insérée par déformation élastique la barre arrêtoir 23 perpendiculaire de la barre supportrice 24 d'un crampon à crochets.According to another embodiment of the device according to the invention, particularly illustrated in Figure 2, said first fixing means are adapted to be attached to a hook cleat.
