Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a plate for holding objects.
- More in particular, the present invention refers to a plate for holding objects of the kind used to hold objects which are meant to be sold.
- In modern supermarkets, points of sale, or any other places where business activities are carried out, or even simply in public exhibition places, such as fairs and the like, some display products for public exhibition for example mainly middle or small-sized objects, are fastened to universal plates, usually of a disposable kind, made of cardboard, plastic materials or the like.
- A plate for holding objects of this kind is described, for example, in the patent for Italian utility model no.
242.330 - As already said, these plates are for universal use, that is they are apt to hold many kinds of objects having different sizes and shapes, because they are provided with various equidistant holes, into which some straps are inserted in order to fasten the items to the plate.
- These plates are used, in most cases, in order to display or to sell different kinds of utensils and tools, mainly hand tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers pliers, pincers, spatulas and others, used for example in professional sectors or for DIY activities and the like.
- As already known, the practical use of such utensils or tools very often requires the use of measuring instruments, slide rules, protractors and the like. Hence the user who needs to take precise measurements always needs to be equipped with all suitable tools. Obviously, such tools are not always immediately available to the user, for example in case of emergency. In order to be used in any kind of situation, such tools should be near at hand, for example they should be kept inside appropriate tool cases and the like, thus resulting in a less handy or comfortable use.
- Hence the technical task of the present invention is to improve the state of the art.
- Within such technical task, a purpose of the present invention is to realize a plate for holding objects that allows the user to perform, in any situation, precise operations that require the measurement of certain characteristics such as sizes, lengths, angles and the like.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to realize a plate for holding objects that holds down costs, limits sizes and weights and that is handy, easy and immediate to use.
- This task and these purposes are achieved by the plate for holding objects according to the attached claim 1. Further advantageous characteristics are described in the dependent claims.
- The features of the invention will be better understood by any expert in the field from the description that follows and from the attached drawings, which are given by way of example of the invention but do not limit its scope, and in which:

vernier scale 15 coupled to therectilinear guide 14 can be of another similar type. - Thanks to this solution, after having purchased
item 3 together with the relative plate 1, the user can also use, in addition to theother measuring instruments 7a-7c previously described and provided on plate 1, avernier caliper 7d for measuring the size of small objects with an estimated precision of about one-fifth of a millimeter, or even more, and at a low cost compared to that of the other measuring instruments present in the market. - Moreover, said
vernier caliper 7d is incorporated in the same support - that is plate 1 - which also comprises theother measuring instruments 7a-7c, and therefore it can be easily transported and used in unusual or emergency situations as well. - In the light of what has been described above, the directions for use of the plate for holding objects 1. according to the present invention can be easily guessed.
- Indeed the user, after purchasing
item 3 together with the relative support provided by plate 1, removesstrap 5 in order to useitem 3 and keeps plate 1 as well. The latter can be used in various technical applications, for example when it is necessary to measure lengths in centimeters or inches, to measure and check angles or thicknesses, or to determine in a quick and precise way the size of nuts or other small metal parts. - The invention so conceived provides important technical advantages.
- Indeed the user, after separating
item 3 from plate 1 by removingstrap 5, can keep plate 1 and use it as a support for various measuringinstruments 7a-7d, which are all grouped as one object that holds down costs and limits sizes and weights. - This solution is particularly useful in unusual or emergency situations, that is when the user is not equipped with a set of measuring instruments necessary to perform the required operations.
- Indeed the plate has reduced sizes and weights, and therefore it can be kept anywhere, for example in a pocket, in the car, in a briefcase or the like.
- In further detail, with only one simple and handy object the user, within his own technical applications, both in the household and professional field and both in ordinary and emergency situations, can quickly measure lengths and angles, check and verify set angular widths, measure small thicknesses and check the size of small metal components.
- Moreover, even the
holes 4, in which strap 5 is inserted in order to holditem 3, can be efficiently employed to fasten other items or can also be used as reference points for drilling holes or for other similar applications. - Another embodiment of the plate for holding objects according to the invention is shown in
figure 3 . - This embodiment differs from the preceding one - that is the one corresponding to
figures 1 and 2 - in that plate 1 comprises at itsbottom edge 10, in addition to the already mentioned measuringinstruments 7a-7d, a further measuring instrument constituted by a small machinist square, indicated as a whole by 7e. - Indeed the small square 7e comprises a
protrusion 18 perpendicular to thebottom edge 10 of plate 1. - A millimeter scale is printed along the
rectilinear side 19 of theprotrusion 18. - Square 7e is associated to
ruler 7a located alongside thebottom edge 10 of plate 1. - Thanks to the presence of the aforesaid small square 7e, plate 1 according to the invention can thus be used in further technical applications, both in the household and professional field, for example to draw right angles of set sizes.
- Furthermore, the present embodiment differs from the preceding one in that it comprises, in addition to the already mentioned measuring
instruments 7a-7e, a further measuring instrument constituted by a notch, vindicated as a whole by 7f, for the selective measuring of nuts, screws, pins, drills, nails and the like. -
Notch 7f is realized along theleft side 8 of plate 1, substantially close to thebottom edge 10. -
Notch 7f comprisesportions 20 with a progressively decreasing width from the mouth of thenotch 7f until its end. - The
various portions 20 of thenotch 7f have respectively decreasing widths for example from 7mm to 2 mm. - These
portions 20 of decreasing widths allow to determine, by direct comparison, the diameter or width of various kinds of items that can be used in any kind of technical application. - For example, the diameter of drills, screws, pins, bars and the like or the thickness of plates or other elements used in said applications can be quickly measured in any situation.
- Indeed, it is enough to insert within the
notch 7f the element of which the diameter or the thickness has to be determined in order to get the information looked for in a quick and precise way, by aligning the surfaces of said element with the opposing faces of one of theportions 20 of thenotch 7f. - A further embodiment of the plate for holding objects according to the present invention is shown in
figure 4 . In this embodiment the plate for holding objects 1, structurally similar to those of the preceding forms of embodiment, comprises the following measuring instruments: - three
rulers 7a, located respectively alongsideedges - a
protractor 7b; - the
vernier caliper 7d; - at least one
graphic reproduction 7g of small metal parts such as nuts and the like. - The at least one
graphic reproduction 7g is apt to instantly provide information about the size of said parts, that is nuts and the like. - The at least one
graphic reproduction 7g is realized - for example printed - on the surface of plate 1, on the side of thefastening surface 2 ofitem 3. - In further detail, in this embodiment plate 1 comprises on its surface a plurality of
graphic reproductions 7g corresponding to the unified sizes of the most commonly used nuts, for example from "M3" to "M10" , or others. Thanks to thesegraphic reproductions 7g, the user can quickly and efficiently determine the size of a nut in his possession, by simply moving it closer or overlapping it with thegraphic reproductions 7g, in order to find the one corresponding to the size of said nut. - Moreover, in this embodiment of plate 1, the sliding
guide 14 of thevernier caliper 7d is constituted by a groove; the sliding means of thevernier scale 15 coupled to theguide 14 comprise acog 21 of thevernier scale 15 itself that is inserted in said groove. - Another embodiment of the plate for holding objects according to the present invention is shown in
figure 5 . This embodiment of the plate differs from the one infigure 4 in that the plate is provided with abugger protractor 7b that is therefore more practical and effective to use. - The
bigger protractor 7b is provided alongside thebottom edge 10 of plate 1. It comprises asemicircle 22 with the diameter corresponding to thebottom edge 10. Thesemicircle 22 outlines awindow 23 in which thevernier scale 15 is attached bysmall bridges 16, in the exhibition or selling configuration. - A further embodiment of the plate for holding objects according to the present invention is shown in
figure 6 . Also this embodiment differs from the one infigure 4 in that the plate is provided with abigger protractor 7b that is therefore more practical and effective to use. Thebigger protractor 7b, in this embodiment, is provided in the top portion of the plate, that is where thetop hanger hole 6 is. - Consequently, the top portion of plate 1 is conformed as a semicircle around the
top hanger hole 6; thecenter 12 of the protractor is provided immediately below thetop hanger hole 6. - This solution allows to take the maximum advantage of the top portion of plate 1, which in the forms of embodiment of
figures 4 and5 has the sole function of lodging thetop hanger hole 6 when the plate is hung for exhibition or selling purposes. - It should be noted that all measuring
instruments 7a-7g described in the embodiments shown can be variously combined, according to specific needs, in further embodiments not represented, with no restriction. - It will be appreciated from the foregoing that the invention achieves its stated aims.
