Definitions
- This invention relates to graphic support systems and in particular systems for use in connection with slatted walls or slatwalls.
- Slatted walls or slatwalls provide a quick and easy display solution whether in connection with a small area of wall space or for, in effect, entire walls within a shop or other establishment.
- Slatwalls comprise boards formed with a series of spaced apart, parallel slots, each having a relatively narrow entry portion leading to an enlarged body portion so that the slots may accommodate hooks on which display items may be hung.
- Slatwall is commonly used within the retail industry to merchandise products and accessories that hang from the slots.
- a graphics panel support for use with a slatted wall, the support being an elongate member for insertion into a slot in the slatted wall, the member having a generally channel section with a bight portion shaped to match the profile of the slot and two arms which, in use, extend from the bight portion to the front surface of the wall, at least one of said arms having a finger which overlies the front surface of the wall and is spaced therefrom, whereby the edge of a graphics panel may be located between said finger and the front surface of the wall.
- each arm of the support is provided with a finger.
- a single support may accommodate the edge of a panel extending in one direction from a slot and the edge of another panel extending in the opposite direction from the slot.
- the present invention also provides a graphics panel display system comprising a plurality of graphic panel supports of the invention.
- the minimum number of supports in such a system is of course two but the system may provide a single length of the elongate member which may be cut into appropriate lengths for actual use.
- Figure 1 is a transverse section through a graphics panel support system according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 shows the graphics panel support of Figure 1 located within the slot of a slatted wall.
- a graphics panel support 1 for use with a slatted wall 3, is an elongate strip of plastics material of generally channel section shape.
- Strip 1 includes a substantially flat bight portion or base 5 and, extending therefrom, arms 7,9.
- Arm 7 extends at right angles from the base 5 over about half its length but then turns inwardly (towards the upper arm 9) and then outwardly to form finger 11 , the end 13 of which is substantially parallel to base 5.
- the other arm 9 extends in a curved manner from base 5 before extending substantially parallel to base 5 to provide a shoulder 15. Arm 9 then turns progressively inwardly and outwardly in much the same manner as in the case of arm 7, terminating in a finger 17 having an end 19 which is substantially parallel to base 5 and which points in the opposite direction to the end 13 of finger 11 of arm 9.
- Strip 1 may be located within the slot 25 of the slatted wall 3 as indicated in Figure 2, with foot portion 15 fitting snugly into one of the wings 26 of slot 25.
- the face of the bight portion 14 is such as to match that of the slot 25 but, as is illustrated, it does not have to occupy the whole of slot 24. It is sufficient if it occupies only p[art of the slot 25 and that the panel support is firmly held in place within the slot.
- a graphics display panel which may be a sheet of card of, for instance, about 1 mm thickness, may have its upper edge located within the gap 29 formed behind finger 17. A lower edge of the card may then be located in an upwardly turned finger of strip 1 which has been positioned into a lower slot. In this way the card, which is appropriately dimensioned, may fit firmly and snugly between two strips 1.
- a further graphics display panel may be positioned with its lower edge between finger 11 and the front surface 29 of wall 3. The upper edge of this panel will then be positioned between a downwardly pointing finger of a further strip which is located the appropriate distance above that shown in Figure 2.
- the strip 1 may be made of any suitable material. Examples of suitable materials include not only plastics material but also appropriate metals such as aluminium.
