• the display stand blank 1 of FIG. 1 is here made of paperboard, which is a substantially rigid and foldable material.
• H comprises, here again, two suites of four panels 2-5 and 6-9 extending on either side of a longitudinal center line 10, intended, after folding, to form one of the two lateral edges of the support.
• the panels of the two suites, adjacent to each other, extend on either side of three transverse fold lines 11-13, orthogonal to the longitudinal centerline 10. All the panels are identical to each other and the outer surfaces of the panels two suites are intended to form here two front 14 and rear 15 presentation faces of the support.
• Each panel is extended laterally, on the side opposite to that of the longitudinal fold line 10, by a border 16 for mounting and closing the support.
• Each edge 16 is indented on both sides and is intended to be folded around the edge 17 of the associated panel, to be plated and attached to the associated border of the adjacent panel of the same level, ie pairs of panels 2, 6; 3, 7; 4, 8; 5, 9. From the outer edge 18 of each edge 16, there are two cutouts 19, 20 arcuate portion opening on a small hole 21 for receiving a holding elastic of the two edges 16 of each pair of panels of same level tight against each other and thus fixed one to the other. In areas 22, 23, 24 of the panels 6, 7, 8, respectively on the inner surface 28 of the blank portion intended to become the rear face 15, it is provided to fix, here by gluing (FIG. pads 25, 26, 27 of resilient cellular foam, here polyurethane. Each pad here has a parallelepipedal shape relatively elongated, that is to say enough long enough to be able to perform its function of stress and spacing that will be discussed later.
• the display rack is formed by folding the two series of panels 2-5, 6-9, Tune on the other, after folding the blank 1 around the line median 10, juxtaposition of the borders 16, two by two and maintaining in this state of juxtaposition against each other by elastics passed through the cuts 19, 20.
• the display unit has the form of a vertical column with two lateral edges 10 and 29, the edge 29 being formed by the outer edges 18 of the borders 16, extending in the proiongement of each other .
• the display is in the form of an extended vertical column, which can be folded on itself by folding on each other panels 2-9.
• the pads 25-27 are spaced from each other, so that their overall action is exerted on the height of the column but discretely distributed on this height, that is to say along the faces of presentation.
• the support (FIGS. 5-8) can be folded by folding the panels 2-9 one over the other.
• the two faces 14, 15 are flattened one against the other by crushing the pads 25-27 (FIG. 8), the flattening being possible due to the relative sliding of the edges 16 which is permitted by the elastics of fixation.
• the folding of the panels against each other takes place around the transverse fold lines 11-13 ( Figure 5), alternately on one side and the other, accordion, before maintaining the whole and repelled by any suitable means, for example an elastic ( Figure 7), the deployment is carried out even more simply, removing the elastic which holds the support in the folded state, under the action of the expansion and relaxation of the skates 25-27 which, since their constrained state, separate the faces 14, 15 from each other, until, moving towards their state of rest, these pads reach this state of rest or a state of quasi rest in which their action balances the opening force of the presentation faces 14, 15.
• the pads 25-27 elastic foam cellular, because of this elasticity, on the one hand, and the fact that in the folded state of the support, they themselves are compressed, or constrained, on the other hand, exert on the presentation faces 14, 15, a constraint action which will deviate one from the other to unfold the support.
• the support column in question is a column two faces, when the pads spread both sides of each other, the two faces bulge by bringing the two lateral edges 10, 29 closer together, the action of stress of the pads thus also exerting to bulge both sides .
• the cellular foam pads which are single pieces, or unitary, single element, evolve between a constrained state, when they are compressed because the support is in the folded state, and a state of rest ( or near rest), in which they maintain the support in the unfolded state.
• the support columns of FIGS. 10 and 11, whose elements identical to those of the support column of FIGS. 2-9 have the same references, comprise, as constraint and memory-effect retention devices, leaf springs 35-37 and coil springs 45-47, in place of pads 25-27.
• the leaf springs, elastic and flexible each comprise, an end range 38, for its attachment to the inner surface 28 of the face 15, an intermediate portion 39 flexible and elastic and central inflection zone, and a second range end 40, free, and slidable on the surface inside 41 of the face 14 during the folding and unfolding of the support column.
• the coil springs 45-47 of the column of FIG. 11 are only fastened to the inner surface 28 of the face 15 by one end turn, the other end turn remaining free, while it could also be fixed to the inner surface 41 of the face 14.
• the coil springs 45-47 function as the blades 35-37. In the folded state of the column, the springs are compressed and when they can resume their state of rest, they separate the two faces 14, 15 from one another.
• Support columns have been considered in which the foam pads, the leaf springs and the coil springs are fixed in the center of the panels, and hence the faces, near the transverse fold lines. Any other provision would be perfectly conceivable, such as, for example, near the lateral edges, that is to say near the borders 18 or the longitudinal fold line.
• Two-sided support columns ( Figures 1-11) have been described. But the invention applies equally well to support columns with more than two faces, for example three faces 51, 52, 53 ( Figures 13a, 13b, 13c), with a triangular cross section, or four faces 61, 62, 63, 64 (FIGS.
• the constraint and holding devices 55, 65 being arranged as before, between two opposite faces 62, 64 (four-sided columns) or two adjacent faces 52, 53 (three-sided columns).
• the free face 51 of the constraining device 55 could comprise a fold line 54, to form, during the folding of the column, an edge away from the opposite edge 56 of the coionne, connecting the other two faces 52, 53 approaching one another until they are applied to one another (FIG. 13c), the third face then being completely folded back on itself in two half-faces 51 ', 51 ".
