Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting plate-shaped elements along surfaces angularly oriented relative to each other.
  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting elements arranged according to a perpendicular direction relative to each other and forming the box-shaped bodies used to make identification luminous or non luminous signs of commercial activities and of promotional or advertising messages.
  • Such signs are typically composed of box-shaped bodies, each corresponding to an alphabetical letter, a number or distinctive sign such as a logotype.
  • the box-shaped bodies which sometimes incorporate direct or indirect lighting means, traditionally comprise a front portion or front plate made of plastic material such as Plexiglas or methacrylate, and a side shaped band, of suitable height, made of thin sheet, generally aluminium.
  • the two parts that define an alphabetical letter, a number or a symbol developed three-dimensionally, are constrained to each other according to an orthogonal direction; the side band is arranged, starting from one of the fronts thereof, in a continuous recess obtained along the back front of the front plate made of plastic material, in slightly retracted position relative to the external edge.
  • the continuous recess of said plate has limited depth and suitable width for receiving the edge of the side band; the constraint between the two components, that is, between plate and side band, is obtained by adhesive substances that are distributed both inside and outside said side band.
  • the need of putting the adhesive both outside and inside is determined by two factors: the precise connection thereof and the sealing of the exposed front of the box-shaped body, away from possible water and dirt infiltrations.
  • this traditional solution for the connection of the above components to each other has considerable drawbacks.
  • connection Since it is a connection of smooth surfaces, obtained along a limited zone of the same, the connection can sometimes be little effective, especially due to accidental shocks the box-shaped bodies are subject to during the installation or maintenance operations.
  • a further drawback of the known solution in question relates to the presence of a continuous adhesive kerb outside the box-shaped body, which gives rise to an undesired alteration of the aesthetic linearity of the body itself.
  • CH 689 086 discloses a device for connecting together plated-shaped elements comprising a front shaped plate and a side band shaped correspondingly to the profile of said front plate to form box-shaped bodies of luminous or non luminous signs, with the zone corresponding to the outer profile of said front shaped plate being provided with slots for receiving the zig-zaged edges of said side band where they are stabilised by adhesives.
  • US 4 392 317 discloses a method of constructing letters for signs comprising a front and a back similarly-shaped letter-form members maintained in parallel spaced relation by a plastic side band that is adhesively secured to their peripheries. A continuous adhesive strip is provided for glueing the back letter-form member to the side band.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device for connecting plate-shaped elements along surfaces angularly oriented relative to each other, especially suitable for connecting elements arranged orthogonally to each other and forming the box-shaped bodies with which identification signs are made, suitable for connecting in a suitable and safe over time manner said elements with adhesives distributed only inside them or in any case in a position not visible to the exterior, thus used in a very limited manner.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device as defined above which, against the connection of said elements with adhesives distributed only inside thereof, should allow ensuring in any case the perfect sealing of the box-shaped bodies thus realised.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device as defined above which should allow making box-shaped bodies for signs free from imperfections caused by the distribution of adhesives along the exposed front.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide the users with a device for connecting plate-shaped elements suitable for ensuring high level of resistance and reliability over time, also such as to be easily and inexpensively constructed.
  • the device of the present invention for the connection of plate-shaped elements, in particular of elements arranged orthogonal to each other that form the box-shaped bodies of identification signs, is made on the components of said box-shaped bodies that comprise a front plate 10 made of translucent or opaque plastic material and a side band 12, preferably made of metal and with small thickness.
  • the front plate 10 is variously shaped for reproducing, for example in capital types, alphabetical letters, or numbers, symbols or logotypes of any shape and size.
  • the side band 12, in parallel, is shaped for following the profile of the front plate 10, to which it is connected for forming box-shaped bodies three-dimensionally reproducing the above letters, numbers, symbols or logotypes.
  • box-shaped body of this type is globally indicated with 20 at figure 1 , which by way of an example shows a capital letter "R" in a perspective top view and from the back front, without bottom for easier understanding of the features of the device of the invention.
  • the front plate 10 typically made of translucent material such as Plexiglas or the like, is provided with a slot 14 which extends by the entire perimeter of the perimeter of the plate itself with continuous or discontinuous pattern.
  • Said slot 14, in the embodiment at figure 2 is obtained by way of an example on the inner front of the front plate 10 in slightly retracted position relative to the edge, indicated with 10' of the plate itself.
  • the slot 14 presents a greater width than the thickness of the side metal band 12 and variable depth depending on the overall dimension of the box-shaped bodies 20.
  • the thickness of said side band 12 is generally comprised between 0.5 and 1.5 mm.
  • the front plate 10 which in the example of figure 1 and 2 has a planar development, can be thermo-formed and present, as shown at figures 4 and 5 , an edge 10" substantially bent at 90° in the direction of the side band, indicated with 12'; in the embodiment of figure 5 , said side band 12' is shaped along the coupling profile with edge 10" and defines a substantially "S" shaped pattern.
  • the end of the side band 12' is first bent, approximately at 90°, inwards, that is, in the direction of the median axis of the front plate 10 and then, it is further bent upwards, parallel to the edge 10". In this way the side band 12 is substantially aligned with the edge 10".
  • a solution of this type, with side band 12' provided with end bending can of course also relate to the embodiment that envisages the front plate 10 with planar development, that is, without bent edge, as schematised at figure 6 .
  • a bottom 16 is generally connected to the side band 12 or 12', opposite the front plate, constrained in a known manner, for example by screws, to the band itself.
  • the end of the side band 12 intended for inserting in the slot 14, of which of course also the front plate with bent edge 10" is provided, is advantageously provided with an irregular profile, for example with contiguous portions shaped as dovetail as schematised at figure 3 ; said portions, indicated with 18, are projecting and intended for inserting into the slots 14 and are alternating with mirror recesses or shaped cavities 18'.
  • a predetermined amount of adhesive 22 is arranged into the slot 14 and the side band itself is then inserted into the slot itself along the part provided with projecting portions 18 alternating to the recesses 18'.
  • the adhesive 22 distributes in a substantially spontaneous manner along the two sides of the slot itself, as schematised at figure 2 .
  • a kerb 24 schematised by a dotted line at figure 1 , and at figure 6 ; said kerb can be continuous or discontinuous, that is, limited to points or zones of the inner perimeter defined by the combination of the side band 12 or 12' and of the front plate 10.
  • the profile of the side band 12 or 12' provided with the projecting portions 18 alternating to the recesses 18' can be continuous or discontinuous.
  • a surface roughness is obtained in advance along said inner surface, for example obtained by knurling or glazing; the surface roughness preferably concerns a limited height zone of the inner front of the side band 12 or 12' and is schematised with 26 at figures 2 and 3 .
  • the device for connecting plate-shaped elements of the present invention allows connecting in effective and lasting manner the side band 12 or 12' to the front plate 10 of box-shaped bodies 20 ensuring the seal and a finish that shows no imperfections on the exterior.
  • the arrangement along an end of the side band 12 or 12', of an irregular profile, or formed by full and empty zones is particularly advantageous, so that the adhesive 22 arranges also crosswise the recesses 18' alternating to the projecting portions 18.
  • the irregular profile of the side band 12 or 12' is replaced, even if only partially, by micro-perforated portions or with close openings of any shape and dimension.
