Description

The present invention relates to a device for the presentation of spectacles, comprising a base body and a plurality of supported by the base body receiving means for secure receiving a pair of spectacles, each receiving device comprises at least one support member for placing the spectacles and a securing member for removal safety of the resting glasses and the securing parts can be brought together from a locking position securing the spectacles into a removal position which releases the spectacles.

From practice, generic devices have been known for some time. Such devices are often referred to as displays and are used to present on the one hand glasses for correcting poor eyesight and on the other hand of sunglasses of any kind. First and foremost it is about offering the glasses for sale and to present them in their form in a suitable manner. Furthermore, it must be ensured that especially high-quality and expensive glasses are not stolen.

The known from practice device eg US 2004/0200790 A , already comprises the above-mentioned features, wherein for mounting the device and for removing one or more glasses, the securing parts are slightly raised relative to the support members, so that the glasses on the resulting space can be removed or placed. Due to the only small distance between the security part and the support part, the handling of the glasses is cumbersome and there is always the risk that the glasses will be damaged or scratched when hanging up and when removing. In that regard, the device known from practice has proven to be problematic.

In the light of the foregoing, the invention is based on the object, the generic type, known from the practice device such and further, that with a simple construction, a comfortable and safe handling of the glasses is possible.

The device according to the invention achieves the above object by the features of claim 1. Thereafter, the device mentioned above is characterized in that the securing parts are pivotally away from the closure position in the removal position of the support member.

According to the invention, it has been recognized that the problem with the generic device is primarily due to the fact that the securing parts obstruct the handling of the spectacles, even if the securing parts are in the opened removal position. Furthermore, it has been recognized that this is due to the fact that given a slightly raised from the receiving part securing part of given for handling the glasses space is not sufficient, namely because the security part still rests in the immediate area of the support member. A further removal of the security part of the support member is not possible for geometric and technical-constructive circumstances.

Thus, it has been recognized in a further inventive manner that the securing part in an ideal manner from the area of the support part - on the one hand for covering the support member with a pair of glasses and on the other hand for removing the glasses - remove, namely by the securing part is pivotally configured, so that namely, it can be pivoted away from the support part from the closed closure position into the opened removal position and thus releases almost the entire area around the support part and around the support part. With almost total weggeschwenktem security part of the glasses is free on the support part and can be removed manually. Likewise, the rest part can be freely covered with glasses without disturbing the security part.

With regard to a particularly simple construction of the device according to the invention, it is advantageous if the support parts are preferably inserted at predetermined locations in the base part and locked there. Thus, it is in principle possible that a preferably vertically extending groove is provided for receiving the support parts, in which plug in the support members and there set, for example by clamping action. It is also conceivable that concrete insertion openings are provided in the base part, in which the support parts equidistant or with different distances to each other inserted and fixed there. A screwing of the support parts in the base part is conceivable.

In principle, the support parts protrude essentially orthogonally from the base body, wherein the support parts can also be arranged at a predetermined angle to the base part, depending on the desired visual impression, which is to be imparted in glasses designed. Another advantage is a filigree design of the support members, which can be rod-shaped or rod-shaped, so that the main focus is directed to the glasses resting there and not on the support part.

To avoid damage to the glasses, it is also advantageous if the support parts are coated with plastic or coated with a hose material, preferably of plastic. As part of an embodiment of aluminum, a transparent tube could be pulled over the support part. In this case, the use of support members with circular cross-section offers.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the support parts have a preferably curved down support area for supporting the nosepiece of the glasses. For secure positioning of the nosepiece, the support area could be wave-shaped, but also include steps, corrugations or the like, so that the glasses can be positioned according to their size at any point of the support member slip-resistant. It is also conceivable that on the support member riders or the like can be arranged displaceable or pluggable, so that the respective glasses provides a secure and thereby adjustable system.

For safe closing of the device by means of the securing part, the support parts have a preferably end-side stop area for abutment for the free end of the security part. Thus, the securing part could come to lockable system to the support member, namely in the closed position. It is also conceivable that a recess corresponding to the free end of the securing part, recess or the like is assigned in the support part, so that the securing part can engage with its free end in the support member. One lateral bending out of the security part is effectively avoided in the closed position.

So that the spectacles can be positioned with the temples unfolded for all-round inspection, on the side of the base body facing away from the support parts and securing parts, i. Viewed from the viewer on the rear side, arranged a bracket holder for each pair of glasses, so that the glasses rests with her noseband on the support member and with the side brackets on the bracket holder. In this case, a kind of three-point support is realized.

Also, the bracket holder may be fixable at different points of the base part, preferably slightly below the support member, so that there is an at least slight oblique positioning of the glasses in a particularly decorative manner. For this purpose, the bracket holder may have an engagement region for insertion into the base body, to which a rod protruding from the base body for spacing against the base body adjoins. For the actual edition of the eyeglass temple on both sides of the rod to the side projecting brackets are provided for placing the eyeglass temple, which are bent away in a further advantageous manner with a large radius to the rear. This results in a very decorative effect on the one hand and on the other hand a secure support for the eyeglass temple. In order to avoid damage or scratching in the region of the eyeglass temple, the temple holder is coated with plastic, at least in the region of the projecting stirrups, or covered with a hose, preferably of plastic. It may be a transparent tube, so that the material-related visual impression is not distorted. The use of plastic also has the advantage that a non-slip support for the temple is given.

Previously, the security part has been addressed, whereby an anti-theft device or an unauthorized removal of the glasses is effectively prevented. Concretely, the securing part can be designed and shaped such that it protrudes in the closed closed position of the base body - preferably out of this - orthogonal and extending in the region of the front free end of the support part. For this purpose, the securing part can be hook-shaped be, preferably angled at 90 °. In such an embodiment, the securing part surrounds a resting on the support part glasses in the noseband, preferably at a distance, so that damage to the glasses is effectively avoided here, although the securing part with only a small distance surrounds the glasses. The distance is just to be dimensioned so that an unauthorized removal of the glasses is excluded when the security part is closed. Previously, it has been stated that the device of the invention differs from the generic imaging device from the prior art known from practice in that the security part can swing almost completely, so that the glasses free on the support part and with their brackets on the Upright holder rests. A complete or at least almost complete pivoting away of the securing part is possible if the securing part can pivot substantially into the base body, which is possible in particular when the securing part pivots about a pivot axis lying in the interior of the base body. In this case, along the base part, ie preferably vertically, a slot-like opening could extend into the base part, which is designed such that the securing part can be pivoted overall or almost completely into the base part.

In principle, it is conceivable that the securing parts are manually operable, preferably jointly followed by a kind of towing device. To actuate the securing parts, a special actuator is provided in an advantageous manner, by activating the security parts can pivot together. In concrete terms, the base body could be embodied in the sense of a column or steele, wherein the actuating member is movable or displaceable within the base body relative to the base body or to a particular anchor part.

It is advisable that the actuator is arranged as arranged in the interior of the base body slidably actuating rod. The anchor part may accordingly be designed as an anchor rod fixedly arranged in the interior of the base body or as part of the base body or of the housing formed by the base body. In concrete terms, the housing could be a profile made of aluminum.

The pivoting movement of the security part can be realized in a particularly sophisticated manner in that the securing part comprises two articulation points, with which the securing part is hinged pivotally on the one hand on the actuator or on the actuating rod and on the other hand on the armature or on the housing or profile, said articulation a Must allow for offset. Thus, it is conceivable that the securing part comprises two pairs preferably orthogonally projecting pivot pins which engage in the anchor part and the actuator in pairs trained pivot guides. For the offset between the two parts, the pivot guides are designed as guide slots or guide recesses, guide grooves or the like, so that the securing part associated with the pivot pins are at least slightly movable in the actuator or in the actuating rod and in the anchor rod or in the wall of the base body. In addition, it is in principle possible that during a movement of the actuating member or the actuating rod, this not only moves vertically and relative to the anchor member in the vertical direction, but that the actuator rocker similar to the anchor member or from the anchor rod and moves back to it so that a two-dimensional rocking movement of the actuator takes place when opening and closing the securing parts. With suitable guidance of the actuator such movement within the base part can be easily realized.

In order to hold the actuator relative to the anchor part and to realize a simple guide, it is also advantageous if the guide slots or guide grooves or guide grooves adjacent securing parts are formed on opposite sides of the anchor member and the actuator, thereby connecting the actuator on Anchor part is realized. The degree of removal of the actuating member from the anchor part is thus determined by the spacing of the pivot pins on the securing part and by the exact design of the guide slots or guide recesses in the actuator and in the anchor part.

It has already been stated that the actuating member is used for the simultaneous actuation of all securing parts. According to the above statements, there is between the actuator and the security parts an operative connection, so that a pivoting movement of the securing parts due to an action of the actuating member is possible.

In the context of a particularly simple embodiment of the device according to the invention, the actuator operates at least partially due to gravity, namely to the effect that the actuator falls due to gravity in the open removal position of the securing parts. Accordingly, the actuator is liftable in the closed securing position of the security parts and can be fixed and locked in two positions. To actuate the actuator, an actuating lever, a knob or the like could be provided so that the actuator can be lifted from outside the base in the closed securing position, which close all circlips. It is of very particular advantage if the movement of the actuating member and thus the movement of the securing parts is elastically damped, so that takes place at a release a time-delayed opening of the securing parts. The damping could be realized in a similar manner, as is the case in modern motor vehicles in the local handles, namely, namely, a spring damping, pneumatic damping or damping by means of silicone or the like is realized.

In any case, it is advantageous if the actuator via spring force, pneumatic or the like preferably in damped movement in the open removal position of the securing parts lowerable and in the closed securing position of the securing parts can be raised and locked in both positions and locked. Of course, a reversal is possible, after which the securing parts are closed in the lowered state of the actuating member.

As part of a further embodiment variant, the actuator can be lowered via an electric motor, preferably in damped motion, in the open removal position of the security parts and lift in the closed securing position of the security parts. Again, a reverse arrangement or a reverse backup and Entsicherungsvorgang is conceivable. In both positions, the actuator and thus the security parts can be fixed and locked.

The drive for the actuator, such as the electric motor, could be located in or on the base body. Within the scope of a particularly advantageous embodiment, the motor is dimensioned such that it fits straight into the base body, preferably in the upper region, so that it can plug in modularly and also be removed again. A simple replacement of the drive is guaranteed. Likewise, it is possible to attach the motor to the base body.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the drive has an internal power supply, preferably a rechargeable battery. It is also conceivable that an external connection to the power grid is possible. The charging of a battery by means of solar cells is also conceivable, with a photovoltaic coating of areas of the base body is conceivable. It is essential in any case that in principle an electrical actuation of the actuator is possible, resulting in the possibility of remote control by means of miniaturized hand switch.

As already stated above, the securing parts can be locked in the closed position and preferably lockable, so that unauthorized opening of the securing parts is not possible. To complete the securing parts, a relative movement between the anchor part and the actuating member is prevented, so that the locking parts coupled to both parts are immovable and therefore can not be opened. To close the securing parts, a bolt may be provided, which acts on or into the actuating member from outside the base part or acts between the actuating member and the anchor part or the base part.

In the context of an effective protection and within a simple embodiment, it is conceivable that the bolt is part of a mechanical or electrical or electromagnetic lock. Also in this respect an automatic actuation of the closure device is conceivable, in particular also by means of remote control.

At this point it should be noted that the bolt can be formed at any point of the base part, especially since it can act from anywhere on the actuator in a blocking manner. Advantageously, the bolt in the foot area in or arranged on the base body, which is to be based on whether the device is a stand part or a wall part or table part. Thus, the latch is preferably and advantageously provided according to the actual mounting of the device where it can be operated effortlessly. In the case of a remote control, however, this plays at most a minor role.

As already mentioned above, the drive for the actuator and / or the bolt or the lock can be operated remotely. For this purpose, a remote control could take place via RF signals with corresponding transmitters / receivers, as they are known from a variety of applications. An RF remote control has the enormous advantage over a remote control operating in the infrared range, that it has a longer range and that it can also handle obstacles. An HF remote control is in any case an advantage.

In a particularly sophisticated manner, the position of the actuator can be detected, the base body may be associated with a preferably battery-powered or battery-buffered acoustic and / or visual display, which indicates the closure position or the removal position of the securing parts depending on the position of the actuator. Thus, for example, the closed position can be visualized via an optical display, while in the opened state a sound or a tone sequence can be transmitted, for example when the device remains in the open state for a definable, longer period of time. This effectively prevents the device from being accidentally left open, thus allowing the glasses to be stolen.

It is also conceivable that the position of the actuating member is detectable and that the base body is associated with a preferably battery-operated or battery-buffered alarm system which can be triggered in dependence on the position of the actuating member taking into account the closed state. Thus, an alarm could be triggered during violent opening, so that in this respect a more extensive protection is guaranteed. It is likewise conceivable that the individual securing parts are assigned a special detector which detects a weight resting thereon. When removing the glasses, the security part would at least move slightly upward, causing the detector to detect removal of the glasses. This could also be coupled with an acoustic and / or light-optical signal, so that a more extensive protection is realized.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the base body can be designed for placement on the floor or on a table with a foot part. Likewise, the base body can be provided for hanging on the ceiling or on a wall with appropriate brackets.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the base part is associated with a preferably inner light source with at least one light outlet, wherein the light outlet may be readily associated with the securing part or the support part. The use of optical fibers with defined light emission is conceivable, which can produce very special effects. The use of Plexiglas with a light emission in the edge area is also an advantage.

The device according to the invention has been described above with a singular base part. Likewise, it is possible for a plurality of the base parts to be arranged vertically and parallel to one another on a common base. Such a parallel arrangement is also conceivable on a wall with corresponding brackets, so that an entire battery of corresponding base parts can be realized in an identical configuration next to one another and parallel to one another. Also, a plurality of the base parts could be arranged around a central pillar on a cabinet base or the like. Also, an arrangement of several base parts in the manner of a revolver arrangement can be realized on a rotatable basis. Arbitrary arrangements of individual base parts in fixed relation to each other are conceivable and regardless of the specific positioning and determination.

The sequence of Fig. 1 and 2 shows in schematic views, in part, the basic structure of a device according to the invention for the presentation of spectacles 1, wherein the device comprises a base body 2 and carried by the base body 2 receiving means 3 for secure recording in each case a pair of spectacles 1. Each receiving device 3 in turn has a support part 4 for placing the glasses 1 and a securing part 5 for removal protection of the resting glasses 1. The security parts 5 are shared by a protective glasses 1 locking position according to the Fig. 1a and 2a in a the glasses 1 releasing removal position according to Fig. 1b and 2 B be brought.

According to the invention, the securing parts 5 are of the closure position according to the Fig. 1a and 2a in the removal position according to Fig. 1b and 2 B pivoting away from the support part 4, which is the the Fig. 1 and 2 Removable sequence of movement can be seen.

The Fig. 3a, 3b and 3c . 4a, 4b and 4c and 5a, 5b and 5c show in the context of specific embodiments in detail how the pivotal movement of the securing parts 5 is realized with respect to the fixed support part 4.

The Fig. 1 and 2 Let it further be seen that for supporting the eyeglass temple 6 bracket holder 7 are provided, which are arranged on the support part 4 and the securing part 5 opposite side of the base body 2 in the base body 2. The bracket holder 7 protrude with a rod 8 away from the base body 2 and extend over bracket 9 to the side, so that the glasses 1 comes there with their temples 6 .Well, as the Fig. 1 is removable.

The Fig. 1 and 2 let further recognize together that the securing part 5 is almost completely pivoted into the interior of the base body 2, so that when the security part 5 is open unhindered access to the glasses 1 is possible.

In the Fig. 1 and 2 is further indicated that the support member 4 has a curved support portion 10 and an end-side stop portion 11 for engagement of the free end of the securing part 5.

Furthermore, in the Fig. 2a and 2b indicated that the bracket 9 of the bracket 7 are covered with plastic, namely to protect the glasses 1 and this to ensure a secure fit.

In the in the Fig. 3a, 3b, and 3c shown embodiment can be seen that the pivot axis of the securing part 5 is located within the base body 2. For actuating the securing parts 5, an actuating member 12 is provided, which is displaceable within the base body 2 relative to an anchor member 13, which in turn is assigned to the base body 2 fixed. The actuator 12 is designed as an actuating rod. Accordingly, the anchor member 13 is designed as a stationary anchor rod, wherein the anchor member 13 may be readily implemented as an integral part of the base body 2 and the housing formed by the base body 2 or the corresponding profile.

The Fig. 3a, 3b and 3c let further recognize that the securing part 5 comprises two pairs orthogonally projecting pivot pins 14 which engage in the anchor member 13 and the actuator 12 paired pivot guides 15. By this arrangement and configuration, the securing parts 5 can pivot simultaneously, namely a movement of the actuating member 12, wherein the movement of the actuating member 12 parallel to the anchor member 13 and thus parallel to the base body 2 - in the base body 2 - takes place.

The Fig. 3a, 3b and 3c let further recognize that the securing parts 5 are locked in the closed state, namely by means of a bolt 16 which holds the actuator 12 in the raised state with locked securing parts 5. The latch 16 is associated with a mechanical lock 17. If the latch 16 is released via the lock 17, the actuator 12 can move downwards by gravity, as shown in FIG Fig. 3b up to Fig. 3c is shown. In the fully lowered state of the actuator 12, the security parts 5 are completely pivoted in the open state and thereby folded away, so that the support member 4 is exposed unimpeded.

In the Fig. 3a, 3b and 3c is further indicated that the device is equipped with an alarm system 18, which triggers an unauthorized opening of the security parts 5 an audible and / or visual alarm.

This is symbolically represented by the spring arrangement 19. Again, the security parts 5 are in the closed state when the actuator 12 is raised and secured by the lock 17 and the latch 16. After unlocking the lock 17, the actuator 12 slides under rocking motion upwards, namely pulled upwards by the spring assembly 19 until Fig. 4c the security parts 5 are completely open. The movement of the securing parts 5 is damped, ie delayed in time.

The Fig. 5a, 5b and 5c show a third embodiment of a device according to the invention, wherein the actuation of the actuating member 12 via an electric motor 20 takes place. A special lock is no longer necessary because the actuator 12 is held in total via the motor 20 and locked in the respective position. Such an arrangement is ideal for implementing a remote control as set forth in the general part of the description.

To the electric motor 20 should be noted that this is exactly matched to the base body 2, so that it extends this upward. Again, an alarm system 18 may be provided which can be actuated via a sensor arrangement 21.
