Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support for electronic tags.
  • programmable electronic tags are currently used in shops and allow, by means of a display, to provide information regarding prices, the best-before date or others, of products displayed on racks.
  • the electronic tags are coupled to the racks usually by using supports constituted by anchoring profiles made of plastic material, which are fixed to the free edge of a corresponding shelf of the rack.
  • These anchoring profiles generally have, in transverse cross-section, a substantially C-shaped configuration, with a central body that can be coupled to a shelf on one of its sides and joins two mutually facing lateral wings on its opposite side, so as to form a receptacle in which it is possible to insert and engage by snap action one or more electronic tags.
  • anchoring profiles of the type described above have the drawback of not blocking the sliding of the electronic tags along their longitudinal extension, so that the electronic tags can be moved accidentally from the position in which they are arranged with respect to the rack or can be deliberately slid off one end of the anchoring profile and therefore be stolen.
  • anchoring profiles have been proposed which have, on their central body, an elastic tab which is arranged in a position that is intermediate between the two lateral wings and runs longitudinally along the extension of the anchoring profile.
  • the electronic tag when it is mated with the anchoring profile, rests against the elastic tab with its rear face, which is designed to be directed toward the central body, so as to always remain spaced from the central body.
  • the spacing ensured by the elastic tab between the electronic tag and the central body of the anchoring profile allows to produce a flexural deformation of the central body of the anchoring profile, so as to produce, by elastic reaction, an increase in the fastening applied by the lateral wings against the opposite sides of the electronic tag.
  • the electronic tag is provided with a locking pin, which can move axially between a retracted position, in which it is accommodated within the box-like body of the electronic tag, and an extracted position, in which it protrudes from the upper side of the box-like body of the electronic tag, so as to be able to engage locking holes distributed uniformly along the upper lateral wing of the anchoring profile, thus blocking the possibility of the electronic tag to slide along the anchoring profile.
  • the movement of the locking pin from the retracted position to the extracted position is performed, in contrast with return springs, by means of an automatic actuation device, which is accommodated within the box-like body of the electronic tag and can be activated by moving a suitable activation magnet toward the electronic tag.
  • an anchoring profile which again has a C-shaped transverse cross-section, whose lower lateral wing is made entirely of an elastically yielding material and in which there is a retention lip that protrudes toward the upper lateral wing and delimits the outward side of an engagement seat which a mating tooth, provided on the lower side of the electronic tag, is designed to enter.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a support for electronic tags that is capable of locking perfectly the electronic tags to the anchoring profiles, preventing in a very simple manner the possibility of their sliding along the extension of such anchoring profiles.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a support for electronic tags that is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a support for electronic tags that can be obtained easily starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and is further advantageous also from a purely economic standpoint.
  • a support for electronic tags comprises at least one anchoring profile 2, which can be fixed to a supporting structure constituted for example by a rack 3, for the display of products on sale in shops.
  • the anchoring profile 2 has, in a transverse cross-section, a substantially C-shaped configuration, with a pair of lateral retention wings 4a, 4b, which face each other and are mutually joined by means of a central body 2a of the anchoring profile 2, so as to form an accommodation seat 5 for at least one electronic tag 6.
  • the electronic tag 6 can be inserted by snap action in the accommodation seat 5, so that it is fastened, on two mutually opposite sides 6a and 6b thereof, between the lateral retention wings 4a and 4b of the anchoring profile 2.
  • At least one of the lateral retention wings 4a, 4b there is at least one locking layer 7, which can be engaged by contact by at least one portion of the corresponding side 6a, 6b of the electronic tag 6 and is made of a material that has a friction coefficient, with respect to the electronic tag 6, that is higher than the anchoring profile 2, so as to contrast the possibility of the electronic tag 6 to slide along the longitudinal extension of the anchoring profile 2.
  • the locking layer 7 is made of a material that has a higher elastic compression deformability than the material of which the anchoring profile 2 is made.
  • the locking layer 7 is engaged by at least one mating tooth 9, which protrudes from the corresponding side 6a, 6b of the electronic tag 6 and is designed to deform by compression the locking layer 7, so as to increase the friction that contrasts the sliding of the electronic tag 6 along the longitudinal extension of the anchoring profile 2.
  • the locking layer 7 can optionally be engaged also by a portion of one of the two sides 6a, 6b of the electronic tag 6 that is affected by recesses or hollows.
  • the lateral retention wings 4a, 4b advantageously form respective engagement seats 8, in which it is possible to accommodate by snap action corresponding mating teeth 9, provided on each one of the sides 6a, 6b of the electronic tag 6.
  • the locking layer 7 is conveniently arranged on the bottom of at least one of the engagement seats 8 formed on the lateral retention wings 4a, 4b, so that it can be compressed validly by the mating tooth 9 arranged on the corresponding side 6a, 6b of the electronic tag 6.
  • the locking layer 7 is made of natural or synthetic rubber or other similar material.
  • the anchoring profile is instead made of PVC or polystyrene.
  • the anchoring profile 2 and the locking layer 7 can be obtained advantageously by coextrusion of the various materials of which they are made.
  • the anchoring profile 2 forms at least one abutment shoulder 11, against which the rear face 6c of the electronic tag 6 is designed to rest in order to keep the electronic tag 6 spaced from the central body 2a of the anchoring profile 2.
  • the abutment shoulder 11 is provided for example by means of a pair of mutually opposite walls 12, each of which protrudes from a respective lateral retention wing 4a, 4b toward the inside of the accommodation seat 5, delimiting at least partially the engagement seats 8 on their side directed toward the central body 2a of the anchoring profile 2.
  • the engagement seats 8 are delimited by a respective stop protrusion 13, which protrudes from the surface of the corresponding lateral retention wing 4a, 4b that is directed toward the accomodation seat 5, in the direction of the other lateral retention wing 4a, 4b.
  • the anchoring profile 2, on its opposite side with respect to the accommodation seat 5, conveniently has per se known fixing means 15, which allow to associate stably the anchoring profile 2 to the free edge of the shelf 3a of the rack 3.
  • the fixing means 15 comprise, for example, a connecting tab 16, which is constituted by a plate 17 that is joined to the central body 2a of the anchoring profile by means of a flexible tab 18.
  • the plate 17 is designed to be anchored to the front surface of the free edge of the shelf 3a of the rack 3 by way of threaded elements 100, such as screws or the like, which are screwed into the body of the shelf 3a so as to pass through the plate 17.
  • the plate 17 can be inserted optionally by pressing in an accommodation slot 19, which is open upward and is formed by a supporting profile 20, which has a substantially U-shaped cross-section and can be coupled stably to the free edge of the shelf 3a of the rack 3.
  • a longitudinal retention protrusion 21 which is designed to engage detachably a corresponding notch 22 that is formed on the plate 17.
  • the anchoring profile 2 is further provided with mating means that allow to associate detachably with the anchoring profile 2 various accessory elements, such as for example a tilting wedge 24, which can be interposed between the central body 2a of the anchoring profile 2 and the plate 17, in order to vary the inclination of the central body 2a of the anchoring profile 2 and therefore of the electronic tag 6 with respect to the free edge of the shelf 3 a, in order to facilitate correct viewing of the display of the electronic tag 6 by users whatever the height at which the shelf 3a is located, with respect to the floor, on the rack 3.
  • various accessory elements such as for example a tilting wedge 24, which can be interposed between the central body 2a of the anchoring profile 2 and the plate 17, in order to vary the inclination of the central body 2a of the anchoring profile 2 and therefore of the electronic tag 6 with respect to the free edge of the shelf 3 a, in order to facilitate correct viewing of the display of the electronic tag 6 by users whatever the height at which the shelf 3a is located, with respect to the floor, on the rack 3.
  • the mating means comprise one or more longitudinal ridges 25, which protrude from the face of the central body 2a of the anchoring profile 2 that is directed opposite with respect to the accommodation seat 5 and end advantageously at their free end with an expansion 25a.
  • the tilting wedge 24 has a mating face 24a, on which there is a plurality of engagement slots 26, which are mutually parallel and spaced along a direction of extension of the tilting wedge 24, and can engage selectively the longitudinal ridges 25 in order to allow the possibility to vary the position of the tilting wedge 24 with respect to the anchoring profile 2 and achieve accordingly a corresponding variation of the inclination of the anchoring profile 2 with respect to the free edge of the shelf 3a.
  • the tilting wedge 24 has a resting face 24b, which is tilted with respect to the mating face 24b and is designed to be directed toward the shelf 3a, in order to be able to rest against the plate 17, as in the example of Figure 7 , or against the outer surface of the supporting profile 20 in which the plate 17 is inserted, as in the example of Figure 8 .
  • the electronic tag 6 is fastened between the lateral retention wings 4a and 4b of the anchoring profile 2 and rests, with its rear face 6c, against the abutment shoulder formed by the walls 11.
  • the locking layer 7 arranged on the bottom of the engagement seats 8 formed on the lateral retention wings 4a, 4b is compressed and deformed by the mating teeth 9 of the electronic tag 6, so as to retain with absolute safety the electronic tag 6, thanks to the high friction, which in this manner is capable of providing against the sliding of the electronic tag 6 along the anchoring profile 2.
  • the support according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects, since it is capable of ensuring effective locking of the electronic tags on the anchoring profiles.
  • the support according to the invention ensures, by way of the lateral retention wings, an action for retention of the electronic tags in the accommodation seat of the anchoring profile that is capable of contrasting effectively unauthorized attempts at manual extraction of the electronic tags from the anchoring profile and at the same time allows, by means of the locking layer provided on the lateral retention wings, to keep firmly in position the electronic tags on the anchoring profile, contrasting the possibility of their sliding along the longitudinal extension of the anchoring profile, so as to avoid accidental changes of their position and prevent their lateral extraction from the anchoring profile.
  • the support according to the invention is capable of performing with absolute safety the retention of the electronic tag without requiring, differently from current solutions, very narrow tolerances between the dimensions of the electronic tag and the dimensions of the anchoring profile.
  • the materials employed may be any according to requirements.
