- the present invention relates to devices suitable for the presentation of a range of objects.
- the invention relates to a device suitable for the presentation of a range of objects comprising: a display comprising a shelf provided with a front face adapted to receive a range of objects to be presented, and a rear face opposite, and having a lower end, at least one support foot articulated by means of connection to the rear face of the display, and - blocking means adapted to block the support foot relative to the display in a first inclined position, the device being adapted to hold stably, in the first inclined position, only by simultaneous support of the support leg and the lower end of said display on a support surface.
- these devices include a display mounted on a support leg which is hinged to be selectively folded back from the display or deployed in a position suitable for forming a tripod with the bottom of the display so that the display is arranged close to the vertical.
- the support leg is often relatively long, to provide better stability in positions close to the vertical, and extends substantially towards the rear, which causes significant bulk of the device, in particular in stands. of reduced depth.
- a device suitable for the presentation of a range of objects which in addition to the attributes mentioned above is essentially characterized in that the blocking means are adapted to block the support foot relative to the display in at least a second inclined position distinct from the first inclined position, the device being adapted to hold stably, in the second inclined position, only by simultaneous support of the support foot and of the lower end of said display on a support surface, and in that said support foot is arranged to be entirely under the display between the first and second inclined positions.
- the support foot and said rear face of the display are willing at an angle ⁇ , the angle ⁇ possibly varying from 0 ° to 180 °; the angle ⁇ varies from 30 ° to 120 °; the support leg is adapted to be retracted into the rear face of the display; -
- the support leg comprises a substantially flat plate, of width at most equal to the width of the display; the locking means comprise a part of the rear face of the display unit and a part of the support leg cooperating by friction; the support leg and the display stand are articulated by a pin linked to the support leg and by a rear face part of the display stand with respect to which the pin is
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of three quarters front of a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of three rear quarters of a second embodiment of 1 ' invention
- Figures 3a and 3b are side views showing the first embodiment each in a different orientation
- - Figure 4 shows a partial section of a hinge mechanism
- Figure 5 is a schematic view representative d 'an embodiment of a locking mechanism used in the context of the invention.
- FIG. 1 represents a device 1 according to the invention.
- the tablet 14 has a presentation face 3, substantially flat extending over a width W, and over a presentation height H, and intended to receive objects to be presented.
- the shelf 14 has a rear face 4 (FIG. 2) which comprises an upper zone 5 and a lower zone 6 of cumulative sizes substantially equal to the presentation height H.
- the tablet has, at the upper zone of the rear face, a generally constant thickness equal to W5.
- the shelf has a generally constant thickness we greater than 5 .
- the presentation face 3 is adapted to receive articles to be presented, these being able to be directly arranged on the presentation face 3.
- the articles are arranged on a sample holder 10.
- the articles can be, for example, samples of suitable size so that a few units can be placed on the sample holder. These samples can for example represent characteristics of larger items placed in a stock. It is thus possible, for example, to have several spots of colors representative of different types of lipstick on each sample holder.
- the samples are for example colored pellets glued to the sample holder 10.
- the sample holder 10 comprises cells 9 arranged in rows and columns, and adapted to receive the samples.
- the sample holder 10 is for example of rectangular parallelepiped shape and has a front face of length b, of width a which can be arranged either with its length aligned with the width of the shelf 14 as shown in FIG. 1, or with its length aligned with the length of the shelf 14, for example.
- the sample holder 10 in question can be rigidly fixed to the presentation face 3 of the shelf 14, during manufacture, or for example disposed in a removable and modular manner on said shelf.
- the sample holder 10 is fixed in various known ways, such as: by snap-fastening of lugs (not shown) on the underside of the sample holder in adapted holes 11 of the shelf 14, by means of magnets integrated in the sample holder and / or the tablet 14, these magnets cooperating with complementary magnets or ferromagnetic elements integrated respectively in the tablet 14 and / or the sample holder 10, by combination of these two techniques, or other.
- the device further comprises a support foot 12, of length L, of width less than or substantially equal to that of the presentation portion, and of thickness 12 less than VJ 6 .
- the support leg is connected to the presentation portion, at its rear face by a connection mechanism 13.
- connection mechanism is located at a midpoint of the rear face 4 of the display, and the length of the support foot 12 is equal to half the height of the display.
- the device can be stably arranged on a bearing surface in a first inclined position in which the support foot and the display stand form an angle ⁇ , the support foot and the lower end of the display stand resting on the support surface.
- the angle ⁇ can at least extend between 30 ° and 120 °, thus allowing numerous configurations of the device for minimum bulk. In the example considered, the angle ⁇ can extend from O ° to 180 °. Between these two values of angles, the support foot 12 can also be inclined and locked relative to the display in a second inclined position distinct from the first inclined position.
- a pin 17 is integral with the foot 12 and has a cylindrical recess 17a. wherein a lateral end 30 of a central portion 16 of the rear face 4 of the display, of complementary shape, can rotate under the action of a user.
- a variant of the locking means consists in using a locking mechanism as shown in FIG. 5 in an intermediate position between a locked position and an unlocked position.
- the pin 17 secured to the foot 12 has a through cylindrical recess 17a extending along the axis of rotation and an internal face 17b normal to the axis of rotation. It further comprises hollow housings 26 formed on its external face.
- the central part 16 of the rear face 4 of the display also has a cylindrical recess crossing 24 aligned with that of the journal. It is further provided with a chamber 23, of non-cylindrical section, for example square.
- the mechanism also comprises a " cylindrical pusher 21 provided with teeth 28 arranged at regular angular intervals on the inner face 21a of the pusher 21, and of complementary shape to the housings 26 of the external face of the pin 17, and housed therein in the locked position of the mechanism
- the pusher 21 is mounted on a rod 15 adapted to slide in the cylindrical recess 17a, 24.
- the rod is also secured to a flange 22.
- This rod carries a compression spring 20 of which a first end is in contact with the flange 22 and a second end in contact with the internal face 17b of the pin
- the rod has an enlarged end 19 of complementary section to the chamber 23 of the part 16, which enlarged end is slidably mounted in the chamber 23 in parallel to the rod 15.
- the device 1 can also be arranged completely flat in a first extended position. It suffices for this that a contact surface 12a of the support foot 12 is brought into contact with the upper zone 5 of the rear face, which forms a contact surface of complementary shape, these two contact surfaces being for example flat.
- a contact surface 12a of the support foot 12 is brought into contact with the upper zone 5 of the rear face, which forms a contact surface of complementary shape, these two contact surfaces being for example flat.
- the sum of the respective thicknesses W5 and w ⁇ 2 of the upper zone 5 and the support foot 12 is approximately equal to the thickness w 6 of the lower zone 6 so that the device can be placed flat on the lower zone 6 of the device and a bearing surface 12b of the support leg, opposite the contact surface 12a, as shown in FIG.
- the support foot 12 and the pin 17 are then retracted into the thickness of the display.
- the upper zone has a thickness equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the lower zone and the support foot, and the connection mechanism is adapted so that the support surface 12b the support leg comes into contact with the lower zone 6 of the display, the contact surface 12a and the upper zone 5 then resting on the support in a second extended position.
- the support foot 12 and the pin 17 are then retracted into the thickness of the display.
- the support leg may be narrower than the display.
- the display unit then has a profile of constant thickness over its entire height, and the upper zone and / or the lower zone of the rear face has a recess of width at least equal to the width of the base, and of complementary shape to the surface. of the foot intended to come into contact, adapted to completely retract the support foot in one, the other, or the two extended positions.
