Description

1. Le domaine de l'invention1. The field of the invention

Le domaine de l'invention est celui de la présentation de produits, notamment sur un lieu de vente. L'invention concerne notamment un kit pour la présentation de produits, le kit comprenant un ensemble d'éléments permettant, lorsqu'ils sont montés entre eux, de former un présentoir pour l'offre de produits, notamment mais non exclusivement sur un lieu de vente.The field of the invention is that of the presentation of products, especially at a point of sale. The invention particularly relates to a kit for the presentation of products, the kit comprising a set of elements allowing, when mounted together, to form a display for the supply of products, including but not limited to a place of sale.

Sur un lieu de vente, tel qu'un supermarché ou autre type de magasin, certains produits à vendre, notamment en libre service, peuvent être présentés sur des étagères, en étant par exemple disposés en rangées de produits dont un produit en tête de chaque rangée est visible. Lorsqu'un consommateur se sert d'un produit, en général du produit en tête de rangée, un poussoir présent en bout de rangée peut être prévu pour pousser automatiquement l'ensemble de la rangée de produits vers l'avant du présentoir afin de disposer un nouveau produit en tête de rangée, en remplacement du produit prélevé par le consommateur.At a point of sale, such as a supermarket or other type of store, some products for sale, including self-service, can be presented on shelves, for example by being arranged in rows of products including a product at the head of each row is visible. When a consumer uses a product, generally the top of the row product, a pusher at the end of the row can be provided to automatically push the entire row of products to the front of the display to have a new product at the top of the row, replacing the product taken by the consumer.

La mise en place des produits doit se faire de manière aisée et rapide, afin notamment de limiter le temps de main d'oeuvre nécessaire pour cette tâche et la présence de main d'oeuvre en rayon, notamment aux heures d'ouverture du lieu de vente.The products must be put in place easily and quickly, in particular in order to limit the labor time required for this task and the presence of manpower on the shelves, especially during the opening hours of the workplace. sale.

Par ailleurs, les types et dimensions des étagères sont variés en fonction des lieux de vente. Or, la place disponible doit être optimisée au maximum pour permettre de disposer le plus possible de produits sur le lieu de vente.In addition, the types and dimensions of the shelves are varied according to the places of sale. However, the available space must be optimized to the maximum possible to provide as much product as possible at the point of sale.

2. Solutions de l'art antérieur2. Solutions of the prior art

On connaît des barquettes de type monobloc, comprenant une base, un ou deux séparateurs formant un ou deux montants visant à séparer deux rangées adjacentes de produits et un rail muni d'un poussoir. Le présentoir comporte ainsi une pluralité d'étagères sur lesquelles sont disposées, côte-à-côte, des barquettes. Un inconvénient de telles barquettes est qu'elles sont adaptées à un type de produit donné, à un type d'étagères avec des dimensions données. Il n'est en effet généralement pas possible d'adapter la barquette à d'autres produits ou étagères. Ainsi, chaque magasin et/ou chaque produit doit avoir un type de barquettes spécifique pour la présentation de produits.There are known monobloc type trays, comprising a base, one or two separators forming one or two amounts to separate two adjacent rows of products and a rail provided with a pusher. The display thus comprises a plurality of shelves on which are arranged, side by side, trays. A disadvantage of such trays is that they are adapted to a given type of product, to a type of shelves with given dimensions. It is generally not possible to adapt the tray to other products or shelves. Thus, each store and / or each product must have a specific type of trays for the presentation of products.

On connaît par ailleurs des barquettes comprenant des séparateurs montés sur rails en T positionnés à l'avant et à l'arrière de l'étagère. La fixation est réalisée en deux points extrémaux seulement. De telles barquettes sont ainsi dépourvues de rigidité suffisante, et les produits d'une rangée, disposés entre deux séparateurs risquent ainsi de ne pas être alignés de manière satisfaisante.Trays are also known comprising separators mounted on T-rails positioned at the front and rear of the shelf. Fixation is performed at two extremal points only. Such trays are thus devoid of sufficient rigidity, and the products of a row, arranged between two separators may thus not be aligned satisfactorily.

On connaît encore des systèmes de séparateurs qui peuvent être fixés uniquement sur des étagères ou supports métalliques.Separator systems are still known which can be fixed only on shelves or metal supports.

On connaît encore des systèmes de séparateurs qui peuvent être fixés uniquement sur des étagères ou supports en matériau polymère.Separator systems are still known which can be fixed only on shelves or supports of polymer material.

4. Résumé de l'invention4. Summary of the invention

L'invention répond à tout ou partie des objectifs précités grâce à un kit comprenant un ensemble d'éléments pour la présentation de produits, notamment sur un lieu de vente, le kit comprenant au moins les éléments suivants :

  • au moins deux séparateurs destinés à créer un couloir pour recevoir une rangée de produits,
  • au moins un rail muni d'un poussoir destiné à être disposé dans le couloir, le poussoir étant agencé pour être en contact avec le dernier produit de la rangée, en présence d'au moins un produit.
The invention responds to all or some of the aforementioned objectives with a kit comprising a set of elements for the presentation of products, especially at a point of sale, the kit comprising at least the following elements:
  • at least two separators for creating a corridor for receiving a row of products,
  • at least one rail provided with a pusher intended to be arranged in the corridor, the pusher being arranged to be in contact with the last product of the row, in the presence of at least one product.

Selon l'invention, au moins le rail et/ou l'un des séparateurs comporte des moyens de couplage configurés pour coopérer de manière amovible, indifféremment avec un support de produits d'un premier type en matériau métallique ou avec un support de produits d'un deuxième type en matériau polymère, de manière à former un présentoir de produits.According to the invention, at least the rail and / or one of the separators comprises coupling means configured to cooperate removably, indifferently with a support of products of a first type of metallic material or with a support of products of a second type of polymer material, so as to form a product display.

Les supports de produits de premier et deuxième types consistent notamment en des supports de produits présentant respectivement des épaisseurs différentes.The supports of products of first and second types consist in particular of product carriers having respectively different thicknesses.

Grâce à l'invention, on dispose d'un kit unique qui peut, selon les situations, être disposé sur un support plutôt épais en matériau polymère, ou sur un support plutôt mince en matériau métallique. L'utilisateur peut donc utiliser ce kit pour différents types d'étagères, sans avoir à en modifier les éléments pour le montage du présentoir sur les étagères.Thanks to the invention, there is a unique kit that can, depending on the situation, be arranged on a rather thick support of polymer material, or a rather thin support of metal material. The user can use this kit for different types of shelves, without having to change the elements for mounting the display on the shelves.

Un autre avantage est la réduction des coûts de fabrication. En effet, une même ligne de production peut fabriquer des séparateurs ou des rails adaptés à des supports métalliques ou en polymère.Another advantage is the reduction of manufacturing costs. Indeed, the same production line can manufacture separators or rails adapted to metal supports or polymer.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le rail comporte des moyens de couplage et chacun des séparateurs comporte des moyens de couplage. Cela peut permettre en particulier d'adapter la largeur du couloir, c'est-à-dire la distance entre deux séparateurs adjacents, à la largeur du produit à présenter.In a particular embodiment, the rail comprises coupling means and each of the separators comprises coupling means. This may allow in particular to adapt the width of the corridor, that is to say the distance between two adjacent separators, the width of the product to present.

Il est à noter qu'on ne sort pas du cadre de l'invention si seul le rail ou seuls un ou plusieurs séparateurs comporte(nt) des moyens de couplage.It should be noted that it is not beyond the scope of the invention if only the rail or only one or more separators comprises (s) coupling means.

Les moyens de couplage peuvent être configurés pour coopérer avec le support de produits de premier type de faible épaisseur, notamment d'épaisseur comprise entre 0,5 mm et 2 mm environ, notamment entre 0,7 mm et 1,5 mm environ, en particulier entre 0,9 mm et 1,1 mm environ et pour coopérer avec le support de produits de deuxième type de plus grande épaisseur, notamment d'épaisseur comprise entre 6 mm et 9 mm environ, notamment entre 7 mm et 8,5 mm environ, en particulier entre 7,8 mm et 8 mm.The coupling means may be configured to cooperate with the support of thin-type products of the first type, in particular with a thickness of between approximately 0.5 mm and 2 mm, in particular between approximately 0.7 mm and 1.5 mm, between about 0.9 mm and 1.1 mm and to cooperate with the support of second type products of greater thickness, in particular of thickness between about 6 mm and 9 mm, in particular between 7 mm and 8.5 mm about, in particular between 7.8 mm and 8 mm.

Les moyens de couplage peuvent comprendre par exemple :

  • un socle sensiblement parallèle au support de produits après couplage,
  • un premier système de coopération amovible avec le support de produits de premier type et
  • un deuxième système de coopération amovible avec le support de produits de deuxième type, les premier et deuxième systèmes de coopération amovible étant solidaires du socle.
The coupling means may comprise, for example:
  • a base substantially parallel to the product support after coupling,
  • a first system of removable cooperation with the support of products of the first type and
  • a second removable cooperation system with the support of products of the second type, the first and second removable cooperation systems being integral with the base.

Le premier système de coopération amovible est avantageusement configuré pour bloquer sensiblement tout déplacement vertical ou horizontal du séparateur ou rail relativement au support de produits de premier type, après montage du séparateur ou rail sur le support de produits.The first removable cooperation system is advantageously configured to substantially block any vertical or horizontal displacement of the separator or rail relative to the support of products of the first type, after mounting the separator or rail on the product support.

Le deuxième système de coopération amovible est avantageusement configuré pour bloquer sensiblement tout déplacement vertical ou horizontal du séparateur ou rail relativement au support de produits de deuxième type, après montage du séparateur ou rail sur le support de produits.The second removable cooperation system is advantageously configured to substantially block any vertical or horizontal movement of the separator or rail relative to the support of second type products, after mounting the separator or rail on the product support.

Le premier système de coopération amovible peut, selon un mode de réalisation particulier, comporter au moins deux languettes, notamment élastiques, disposées à l'opposé du rail et/ou du séparateur par rapport au socle, destinées à être introduites dans des fentes correspondantes formées sur le support de produits, au moins l'une des languettes présentant, notamment dans une portion proche du socle, ou formant avec le socle une encoche d'une épaisseur permettant l'introduction dans l'encoche d'une portion du support de produits.The first removable cooperation system can, according to a particular embodiment, comprise at least two tongues, in particular elastic, arranged opposite the rail and / or the separator relative to the base, intended to be introduced into corresponding slots formed on the support of products, at least one of the tabs having, in particular in a portion near the base, or forming with the base a notch of a thickness for the introduction into the notch of a portion of the product carrier.

Dans ce cas, les fentes du support de produits présentent avantageusement une longueur supérieure à celle des languettes, de manière à laisser un jeu pour autoriser un déplacement des languettes relativement au support afin de permettre l'introduction de la portion du support dans l'encoche. L'épaisseur de l'encoche est par exemple sensiblement égale à celle du support métallique de manière à empêcher sensiblement tout mouvement vertical de la portion de support maintenue dans l'encoche.In this case, the slots of the product support advantageously have a length greater than that of the tongues, so as to leave a clearance to allow movement of the tabs relative to the support to allow the introduction of the portion of the support in the notch . The thickness of the notch is for example substantially equal to that of the metal support so as to substantially prevent any vertical movement of the support portion held in the notch.

Ainsi, après introduction des languettes dans les fentes, et par déplacement du rail et/ou du séparateur par rapport au support de produits de premier type, on peut réaliser une fixation verticale, une portion du support de produits étant solidarisée au rail et/ou au séparateur en étant sensiblement retenue verticalement dans l'encoche.Thus, after insertion of the tongues in the slots, and by displacement of the rail and / or the separator relative to the support of products of the first type, it is possible to achieve vertical fixation, a portion of the product support being secured to the rail and / or to the separator being substantially vertically retained in the notch.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, seule une languette parmi deux languettes sensiblement adjacentes comporte une encoche.In a particular embodiment, only one of two substantially adjacent tabs has a notch.

Encore dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le premier système de coopération amovible comporte deux rangées de languettes, chaque rangée comportant une pluralité de languettes. A une languette d'une rangée peut correspondre une languette de l'autre rangée, de manière adjacente ou sensiblement adjacente, par exemple en décalage total ou partiel.Still in a particular embodiment, the first removable cooperation system comprises two rows of tabs, each row comprising a plurality of tabs. A tab of one row may correspond to a tab of the other row, adjacent or substantially adjacent, for example in total or partial offset.

Le premier système de coopération amovible peut en outre comporter au moins un pion destiné à coopérer avec une ouverture correspondante formée sur le support de produits afin de permettre la fixation, sur le support, du rail et/ou du séparateur. Cette fixation peut être mise en place une fois une ou plusieurs portions du support introduite(s) dans une ou des encoche(s) du premier système de coopération amovible.The first removable cooperation system may further comprise at least one pin for cooperating with a corresponding opening formed on the product support to allow the attachment, on the support, of the rail and / or the separator. This attachment can be put in place once one or more portions of the support introduced (s) in one or notches (s) of the first removable cooperation system.

Il est à noter qu'en cas de pluralité de pions, à chaque pion peut correspondre une ouverture sur le support.It should be noted that in the case of a plurality of pins, each pin may correspond to an opening on the support.

Une telle fixation peut notamment permettre de compléter la solidarisation prévue avec les encoches et d'empêcher le déplacement intempestif du rail et/ou du séparateur, notamment vers l'arrière et/ou vers le haut, en particulier lors du chargement de la marchandise dans le couloir.Such a fastening can in particular make it possible to complete the fastening provided with the notches and to prevent the unwanted movement of the rail and / or the separator, in particular towards the rear and / or upwards, in particular during the loading of the goods into the hallway.

Dans ce cas également, ledit au moins un pion peut être formé sur une patte élastique, par exemple comprenant une gâchette, agencée pour permettre à un utilisateur d'effectuer le retrait du ou de chaque pion hors de l'ouverture en cas de démontage du rail et/ou du séparateur. La patte élastique, et le cas échéant la gâchette, peut ainsi être agencée pour permettre, par déformation élastique de la patte élastique et/ou de la gâchette, l'entraînement du pion hors de l'ouverture formée sur le support avec laquelle il coopérait.In this case also, said at least one pin may be formed on an elastic tab, for example comprising a trigger, arranged to allow a user to remove the or each pin from the opening in case of disassembly of the rail and / or separator. The elastic tab, and optionally the trigger, can thus be arranged to allow, by elastic deformation of the elastic tab and / or the trigger, the driving of the pin out of the opening formed on the support with which it cooperated .

La fixation apportée par le ou les pions est alors amovible, sans altération d'aucun élément du kit.The attachment provided by the pions or members is then removable, without alteration of any element of the kit.

Lors du retrait, une fois le ou les pions hors de la ou des ouvertures formées sur le support, un déplacement du rail et/ou du séparateur par rapport au support, notamment en sens inverse du déplacement effectué lors de l'installation, peut permettre de dégager le support hors de l'encoche et ainsi de désolidariser totalement le rail et/ou le séparateur du support.During the withdrawal, once the pawn (s) out of the opening (s) formed on the support, a displacement of the rail and / or the separator relative to the support, in particular in the opposite direction to the displacement made during the installation, may allow to release the support out of the notch and thus to completely separate the rail and / or the separator of the support.

Le deuxième système de coopération amovible peut comporter au moins deux languettes, destinées à être introduites dans des fentes correspondantes formées sur le support de deuxième type, au moins l'une des languettes formant un épaulement, à une distance du socle correspondant sensiblement à l'épaisseur du support de deuxième type, pour fixation du rail et/ou séparateur au support par encliquetage.The second removable cooperation system may comprise at least two tongues intended to be introduced into corresponding slots formed on the second type of support, at least one of the tongues forming a shoulder, at a distance from the base substantially corresponding to the thickness of the second type of support, for fixing the rail and / or separator to the snap-fit support.

Ainsi, selon ce mode de réalisation, la fixation amovible du rail et/ou séparateur au support est réalisée par encliquetage. Du fait de l'épaisseur du support de deuxième type, il peut ne pas être nécessaire d'assurer autrement la fixation du rail et/ou du séparateur, dès lors que la largeur effective des deux languettes est égale à la longueur de la fente du support. Autrement dit, les fentes sur le support et la longueur et le positionnement des languettes sont configurés pour empêcher un déplacement latéral, notamment en arrière ou en avant, du rail et/ou séparateur relativement au support après solidarisation entre eux.Thus, according to this embodiment, the removable attachment of the rail and / or separator to the support is made by snapping. Due to the thickness of the second type of support, it may not be necessary to otherwise secure the attachment of the rail and / or the separator, since the effective width of the two tabs is equal to the length of the slot of the support. In other words, the slots on the support and the length and positioning of the tabs are configured to prevent lateral movement, particularly backwards or forwards, of the rail and / or separator relative to the support after joining together.

Il n'est cependant bien sûr pas exclu de prévoir une fixation complémentaire, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.However, it is of course not excluded to provide a complementary fixation, without departing from the scope of the invention.

Le deuxième système de coopération amovible peut comporter deux rangées de languettes, chaque rangée comportant une pluralité de languettes, une languette d'une rangée pouvant être disposée à proximité d'une languette de l'autre rangée. A une languette d'une rangée peut en effet correspondre une languette de l'autre rangée, de manière adjacente ou sensiblement adjacente, par exemple en décalage total ou partiel.The second removable cooperation system may comprise two rows of tabs, each row having a plurality of tabs, a tab of one row being able to be disposed near a tab of the other row. A tab of one row may indeed correspond to a tab of the other row, adjacent or substantially adjacent, for example total or partial shift.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, seule une languette parmi deux languettes sensiblement adjacentes présente un épaulement.In a particular embodiment, only one of two substantially adjacent tabs has a shoulder.

L'épaulement peut être formé notamment à une extrémité libre de la languette.The shoulder may be formed in particular at a free end of the tongue.

Lors du démontage, l'élasticité des languettes permet le retrait du rail et/ou du séparateur hors du support.During disassembly, the elasticity of the tabs allows the removal of the rail and / or the separator out of the support.

Les deux languettes du deuxième système de coopération amovible peuvent par exemple coïncider avec celles du premier système de coopération amovible.The two tabs of the second removable cooperation system may for example coincide with those of the first removable cooperation system.

Comme indiqué précédemment, dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le premier et/ou deuxième système de coopération amovible comporte au moins deux rangées de languettes, chaque rangée comportant au moins deux languettes, une languette d'une rangée étant disposée à proximité d'une languette de l'autre rangée.As indicated above, in a particular embodiment, the first and / or second removable cooperation system comprises at least two rows of tabs, each row having at least two tabs, a tab of a row being disposed near a tongue of the other row.

Dans ce cas, au moins une, notamment deux rangées de languettes peuvent ne pas être alignées, mais décalées par rapport au plan vertical défini par le reste du séparateur qu'elles équipent.In this case, at least one, in particular two rows of tabs may not be aligned, but offset from the vertical plane defined by the remainder of the separator they equip.

Le kit peut comprendre au moins un tapis de rouleaux disposés parallèlement entre eux et agencés pour faciliter le déplacement de produits dans la rangée de produits, notamment au moins deux tapis de rouleaux disposés de manière adjacente au rail, de part et d'autre du rail.The kit may comprise at least one roller mat arranged parallel to each other and arranged to facilitate the movement of products in the row of products, in particular at least two conveyor belts arranged adjacent to the rail, on either side of the rail.

Un tel tapis de rouleaux peut être particulièrement utile en cas de présentation de produits sous forme de bouteilles ou canettes, ou de produits relativement lourds qui se déplacent plus difficilement.Such a roll of carpet may be particularly useful in the case of presentation of products in the form of bottles or cans, or relatively heavy products that move more difficult.

Dans ce cas, le tapis de rouleaux peut comporter un système de coopération amovible avec le support de premier ou de deuxième type. Ce système de coopération amovible peut comprendre par exemple, de façon similaire au rail et/ou à au moins un séparateur, un socle, un premier système de coopération amovible avec un support de premier type et un deuxième système de coopération amovible avec un support de deuxième type, ces trois éléments pouvant être tels que décrits plus haut.In this case, the roll conveyor may comprise a removable cooperation system with the support of first or second type. This removable cooperation system may comprise, for example, in a manner similar to the rail and / or at least one separator, a base, a first removable cooperation system with a first type of support and a second removable cooperation system with a support of second type, these three elements may be as described above.

Le kit peut encore comporter des éléments de support pour former un support du deuxième type, les éléments étant assemblables entre eux.The kit may also comprise support elements to form a support of the second type, the elements being assembled together.

Le kit peut encore comporter un ou des éléments de support du premier ou du deuxième type.The kit may also include one or more support elements of the first or second type.

Le kit peut en outre comprendre au moins un élément complémentaire choisi dans le groupe consistant en une butée de produit en début de rangée, notamment solidaire d'au moins un séparateur et/ou réalisée dans un matériau souple, un porte-étiquette, un dispositif d'éclairage d'un porte-étiquette, notamment comprenant au moins une barrette de diodes électroluminescentes, ou autre accessoire, les différents éléments du kit étant démontables entre eux et prévus pour pouvoir s'adapter à la largeur du présentoir, ou encore d'autres éléments utiles pour le présentoir.The kit may further comprise at least one complementary element chosen from the group consisting of a product abutment at the beginning of the row, in particular integral with at least one separator and / or made of a flexible material, a label holder, a device lighting a label holder, in particular comprising at least one array of light-emitting diodes, or other accessory, the various elements of the kit being removable from each other and provided to be able to adapt to the width of the display, or to other useful elements for the display stand.

L'invention a encore pour objet, en combinaison avec ce qui précède, un présentoir de produits, notamment destiné à être disposé sur un lieu de vente, comprenant des éléments du kit tel que défini plus haut, montés sur un support de premier ou de deuxième type.The subject of the invention is also, in combination with the foregoing, a display of products, in particular intended to be placed at a point of sale, comprising elements of the kit as defined above, mounted on a carrier of first or second second type.

6. Description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention6. Detailed description of an embodiment of the invention

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un kit 1 conforme à l'invention comprenant un ensemble d'éléments pour la présentation de produits, notamment sur un lieu de vente.We have shown on the figure 1 a kit 1 according to the invention comprising a set of elements for the presentation of products, especially at a point of sale.

Le kit 1 comprend, comme visible, au moins deux séparateurs 2 destinés à créer un couloir 4 pour recevoir une rangée de produits, dans cet exemple quatre séparateurs formant, deux à deux, trois couloirs 4 parallèles, comme visible sur la figure 2. Les séparateurs 2 peuvent présenter des dimensions adaptées à la hauteur des produits ou à la profondeur de l'étagère ou du support sur lequel ils sont disposés. Dans le kit présenté sur la figure 1 comme visible, deux séparateurs 2 présentent une hauteur supérieure à celle des deux autres séparateurs 2.The kit 1 comprises, as visible, at least two separators 2 intended to create a corridor 4 to receive a row of products, in this example four separators forming, two by two, three parallel corridors 4, as visible on the figure 2 . The separators 2 may have dimensions adapted to the height of the products or the depth of the shelf or the support on which they are arranged. In the kit presented on the figure 1 as visible, two separators 2 have a height greater than that of the other two separators 2.

Le kit 1 comprend en outre au moins un rail 3, dans cet exemple trois rails, destinés à être disposés dans les couloirs 4. Les dimensions des rails sont avantageusement adaptées aux dimensions des produits.The kit 1 further comprises at least one rail 3, in this example three rails intended to be arranged in the corridors 4. The dimensions of the rails are advantageously adapted to the dimensions of the products.

Selon le principe de l'invention, au moins le rail 3 et/ou l'un des séparateurs 2 comportent des moyens de couplage 5 configurés pour coopérer de manière amovible, indifféremment avec un support 6, ou support de produits, de premier type en matériau métallique ou avec un support 7, ou support de produits, de deuxième type en matériau polymère, consistant notamment en des supports présentant respectivement des épaisseurs différentes, de manière à former un présentoir de produits.According to the principle of the invention, at least the rail 3 and / or one of the separators 2 comprise coupling means 5 configured to cooperate removably, indifferently with a support 6, or product carrier, of the first type. metal material or with a support 7, or product carrier, of the second type of polymer material, consisting in particular of supports having respectively different thicknesses, so as to form a product display.

Le support 6 de premier type en matériau métallique est illustré en particulier sur les figures 7 et 8 et sera décrit ultérieurement. Le support 7 de deuxième type en matériau polymère est illustré sur la figure 1 et, dans cet exemple, fait partie du kit 1 conforme à l'invention.The support 6 of the first type made of metallic material is illustrated in particular on the Figures 7 and 8 and will be described later. The support 7 of the second type of polymer material is illustrated on the figure 1 and, in this example, is part of the kit 1 according to the invention.

On peut voir en effet sur la figure 1 que le support 7 de deuxième type consiste en des éléments 16 de support en matériau polymère d'une épaisseur E par exemple comprise entre 7,8 mm et 8 mm environ. Chaque élément 16 de support 7 comporte sur un bord des éléments en saillie 20 et sur un bord opposé des encoches correspondantes 21 de manière à permettre la solidarisation amovible de deux éléments 16 de support 7 de deuxième type entre eux. Sur la figure 1, les éléments de support 7 sont séparés tandis qu'ils ont été assemblés pour former le présentoir illustré sur la figure 2.We can see indeed on the figure 1 that the support 7 of the second type consists of support elements 16 of polymer material with a thickness E for example between 7.8 mm and 8 mm approximately. Each support member 7 has on one edge protruding elements 20 and on an opposite edge corresponding notches 21 so as to allow the removable attachment of two support members 16 of second type between them. On the figure 1 , the support elements 7 are separated while they have been assembled to form the display shown in FIG. figure 2 .

Dans l'exemple illustré, les moyens de couplage 5 sont présents sur chacun des séparateurs 2 et chacun des rails 3. Ils sont davantage visibles sur les figures 4 et 5 notamment, comme cela sera décrit ci-après.In the example shown, the coupling means 5 are present on each of the separators 2 and each of the rails 3. They are more visible on the figures 4 and 5 in particular, as will be described below.

Le kit 1 conforme à l'invention comporte, dans ce mode de réalisation, en outre, au moins un tapis 10 de rouleaux 11, dans cet exemple deux tapis 10 de rouleaux 11, les rouleaux 11 étant disposés parallèlement entre eux sur le tapis 10. Les rouleaux 11 sont agencés pour faciliter le déplacement de produits dans la rangée de produits et sont utilisés généralement pour des produits plus lourds tels que des bouteilles ou des canettes. Dans l'exemple illustré, les tapis de rouleaux 10 sont disposés de manière adjacente au rail 3 de part et d'autre du rail 3 lorsque le kit 1 est monté comme visible sur la figure 2.The kit 1 according to the invention comprises, in this embodiment, in addition, at least one carpet 10 of rollers 11, in this example two mats 10 of rollers 11, the rollers 11 being arranged parallel to each other on the belt 10 The rollers 11 are arranged to facilitate the movement of products in the row of products and are generally used for heavier products such as bottles or cans. In the example shown, the rollers 10 are arranged adjacent the rail 3 on either side of the rail 3 when the kit 1 is mounted as visible on the figure 2 .

Conformément à l'invention, au moins un poussoir 8 est prévu dans le kit 1, en association avec un rail 3. Le poussoir 8 est destiné à coopérer de manière coulissante avec le rail 3 qu'il équipe et agencé pour être en contact avec le dernier produit de la rangée, en présence d'au moins un produit. Le poussoir 8 est mobile sur ce rail, étant commandé par un organe de rappel 9 sous forme d'une lame métallique enroulée dans cet exemple. L'organe de rappel 9 est configuré pour maintenir le poussoir 8 en contact avec le dernier produit de la rangée et rappeler le poussoir 8 vers l'avant du rail au fur et à mesure du retrait des produits par exemple par des consommateurs ou en l'absence de produit.According to the invention, at least one pusher 8 is provided in the kit 1, in association with a rail 3. The pusher 8 is intended to cooperate slidably with the rail 3 which it equips and arranged to be in contact with the last product in the row, in the presence of at least one product. The pusher 8 is movable on this rail, being controlled by a return member 9 in the form of a metal blade wound in this example. The return member 9 is configured to keep the pusher 8 in contact with the last product of the row and recall the pusher 8 towards the front of the rail as the products are withdrawn for example by consumers or in the absence of product.

Comme visible dans cet exemple, le poussoir 8 est équipé d'un dos de poussoir 12 mobile en translation sensiblement verticalement par rapport au poussoir 8, c'est-à-dire sensiblement perpendiculairement au rail 3, afin de régler une hauteur du poussoir 8 en fonction de la hauteur du produit. Une pièce de blocage 14 en forme de U inversé, visible sur la figure 1, est prévue pour bloquer la solidarisation du poussoir 8 au rail 3 et empêcher la désolidarisation du poussoir 8 hors du rail 3.As seen in this example, the pusher 8 is equipped with a pusher back 12 movable in translation substantially vertically relative to the pusher 8, that is to say substantially perpendicular to the rail 3, to adjust a height of the pusher 8 according to the height of the product. An inverted U-shaped blocking piece 14 visible on the figure 1 , is provided to block the fastening of the pusher 8 to the rail 3 and prevent the detachment of the pusher 8 from the rail 3.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le kit 1 comporte en outre un ou plusieurs porte-étiquettes 13, présents à l'avant de la rangée pour pouvoir être visibles par un consommateur. Le ou les porte-étiquettes 13 sont destinés à recevoir au moins une étiquette comportant au moins une information, par exemple relative au produit proposé.In the example shown, the kit 1 further comprises one or more label holders 13, present at the front of the row to be visible by a consumer. The label holder (s) 13 are intended to receive at least one label comprising at least one piece of information, for example relating to the product proposed.

Le porte-étiquette 13 peut également être prévu pour loger un dispositif d'éclairage 89 du porte-étiquette 13, comme illustré sur la figure 13. Un tel dispositif d'éclairage 89 du porte-étiquette comprend une barrette de diodes électroluminescentes 90, et un organe de couplage 91 comprenant d'une part un logement 93 pour la barrette de diodes électroluminescentes 90 et un organe de liaison 94 avec le support 7, dans cet exemple, De son côté, le support 7 comprend des moyens de retenue 92 de l'organe de liaison 94, de manière à rendre solidaire le dispositif d'éclairage 89 au support 7, dans cet exemple. Dans un exemple non illustré, le dispositif d'éclairage peut être solidaire non pas du support mais par exemple du porte-étiquette 13 ou d'un autre élément du kit 1. Il est à noter que le porte-étiquette 13 est avantageusement agencé pour permettre au consommateur de percevoir l'éclairage que produit le dispositif d'éclairage 89, lorsque celui-ci est allumé.The label holder 13 may also be provided to house a lighting device 89 of the label holder 13, as illustrated in FIG. figure 13 . Such a lighting device 89 of the label holder comprises a bar of light-emitting diodes 90, and a coupling member 91 comprising on the one hand a housing 93 for the light-emitting diode array 90 and a connecting member 94 with the support 7. In this example, for its part, the support 7 comprises retaining means 92 of the connecting member 94, so as to make the lighting device 89 integral with the support 7, in this example. In a non-illustrated example, the lighting device can be secured not to the support but for example to the label holder 13 or to another element of the kit 1. It should be noted that the label holder 13 is advantageously arranged to to allow the consumer to perceive the illumination produced by the lighting device 89 when it is on.

Dans l'exemple illustré, les porte-étiquettes 13 sont solidaires des éléments 16 de support 7, comme visible sur la figure 1.In the example shown, the label holders 13 are integral with the support elements 16, as shown in FIG. figure 1 .

Le kit 1 conforme à l'invention comporte également, dans cet exemple, au moins une butée 15 de produit en début de rangée, au nombre de quatre dans l'exemple illustré. Chaque butée 15 est, comme illustré sur la figure 2, solidaire d'un séparateur 2. Dans cet exemple également, les butées 15 sont réalisées dans un matériau souple formant retenue du produit tout en permettant son retrait par le consommateur ou son chargement dans le couloir 4 par un installateur sans difficulté. Dans l'exemple illustré, comme visible, chaque butée 15 est fixée à une extrémité du séparateur 2 et permet la retenue de produits de part et d'autre du séparateur 2, c'est-à-dire pour deux couloirs 4 adjacents. Pour chaque couloir 4, il est prévu deux butées 15 sur les deux bords du produit, chaque butée 15 étant associée au séparateur se trouvant de part et d'autre du produit. Il est à noter qu'à l'extrémité de l'étagère, comme visible sur la figure 2, sur le bord gauche, la butée n'est destinée qu'à retenir le produit P représenté sur un couloir 4, comme visible.The kit 1 according to the invention also comprises, in this example, at least one abutment 15 of product at the beginning of row, four in number in the illustrated example. Each stop 15 is, as illustrated on the figure 2 , in solidarity with a separator 2. In this example also, the abutments 15 are made of a flexible material forming a product retainer while allowing its removal by the consumer or its loading in the corridor 4 by an installer without difficulty. In the illustrated example, as visible, each stopper 15 is attached to one end of the separator 2 and allows the retention of products on either side of the separator 2, that is to say for two adjacent corridors 4. For each lane 4, there are two stops 15 on both edges of the product, each stop 15 being associated with the separator located on either side of the product. It should be noted that at the end of the shelf, as visible on the figure 2 on the left edge, the stop is intended only to retain the product P shown on a corridor 4, as visible.

Chaque élément 16 de support 7 de deuxième type comporte en outre, comme visible sur la figure 1, une pluralité, au nombre de trois dans cet exemple, rangées 25 de fentes 26, chaque rangée 25 comportant une pluralité de fentes 26, dans cet exemple de même largeur et de même longueur, traversant, sur toute la hauteur, le support 7 de deuxième type.Each support element 16 of the second type further comprises, as visible on the figure 1 , a plurality, three in number in this example, rows of slits 26, each row 25 having a plurality of slits 26, in this example of the same width and length, traversing, over the entire height, the support 7 of second type.

Le support 7 de deuxième type est destiné à être disposé sur une étagère, généralement métallique, du lieu de présentation des produits, notamment du lieu de vente, à l'aide d'aimants par exemple. Ces aimants sont non visibles sur les figures mais permettent la solidarisation efficace des supports 7 sur l'étagère à l'aide d'éléments métalliques adéquats solidarisés sur la partie inférieure de chaque élément 7 dans une portion 30 visible sur la figure 1.The support 7 of the second type is intended to be placed on a shelf, usually metal, the place of presentation of products, including the place of sale, using magnets for example. These magnets are not visible in the figures but allow the effective fastening of the supports 7 on the shelf with the aid of suitable metal elements secured to the lower part of each element 7 in a portion 30 visible on the figure 1 .

Nous allons maintenant décrire plus en détails le mode de montage et de fixation, en particulier les moyens de couplage, au support 7, des séparateurs 2 et rails 3 du kit 1 conforme à l'invention.We will now describe in more detail the method of mounting and fixing, in particular the coupling means, to the support 7, separators 2 and rails 3 of the kit 1 according to the invention.

Il est à noter que, selon le principe de l'invention, le kit 1 comporte des éléments séparés qui peuvent être assemblés entre eux ou démontés sans détérioration. Ces éléments du kit peuvent, au montage, s'adapter au type d'étagère du lieu de présentation des produits en hauteur, en profondeur, en largeur. Ces éléments du kit peuvent également s'adapter aux produits à présenter (largeur, hauteur, poids ou type de produits). Toutes ces possibilités d'adaptation lors du montage du présentoir à partir du kit permettent de faciliter la mise en place du présentoir quel que soit le type d'étagère, de support, ou de produit.It should be noted that, according to the principle of the invention, the kit 1 comprises separate elements which can be assembled together or disassembled without deterioration. These elements of the kit can, in the assembly, adapt to the type of shelf of the place of presentation of the products in height, in depth, in width. These elements of the kit can also be adapted to the products to be presented (width, height, weight or type of products). All these adaptability when mounting the display from the kit can facilitate the introduction of the display whatever the type of shelf, support, or product.

En particulier, et c'est notamment l'objet de la présente invention, le rail 3 et/ou au moins l'un des séparateurs 2 comportent, comme indiqué plus haut des moyens de couplage 5 configurés pour coopérer de manière amovible, indifféremment avec un support 6 de premier type en matériau métallique ou avec un support 7 de deuxième type en matériau polymère. Sur les figures 1 à 3 et 6, le support illustré est de deuxième type, à savoir un support 7 en matériau polymère, d'une certaine épaisseur, notamment d'une épaisseur plus grande que celle d'un support de premier type en matériau métallique.In particular, and this is particularly the object of the present invention, the rail 3 and / or at least one of the separators 2 comprise, as indicated above, coupling means 5 configured to cooperate removably, indifferently with a support 6 of the first type made of metallic material or with a support 7 of the second type of polymer material. On the Figures 1 to 3 and 6 , the illustrated support is of the second type, namely a support 7 made of polymeric material, of a certain thickness, in particular of greater thickness than that of a support of the first type made of metallic material.

Pour autant, dans le mode de réalisation illustré, le séparateur 2, illustré sur la figure 4 et le rail 3, illustré sur la figure 5, peuvent coopérer indifféremment, grâce aux moyens de couplage 5 qui vont être décrits plus en détail ci-après, avec un support 6 de premier type comme cela sera illustré et expliqué par la suite ou avec un support 7 de deuxième type comme on va le détailler maintenant.However, in the illustrated embodiment, the separator 2, illustrated in FIG. figure 4 and the rail 3, shown on the figure 5 , can cooperate indifferently, thanks to the coupling means 5 which will be described in more detail below, with a support 6 of the first type as will be illustrated and explained later or with a support 7 of the second type as we will detail now.

Le séparateur 2, comme visible en particulier sur la figure 4, comporte une lame 40 de séparation s'étendant sensiblement verticalement lorsque le kit 1 est monté, comme visible en particulier sur la figure 3. La lame 40 est dans cet exemple réalisée en matériau polymère et comporte des ajours 41 réalisés pour limiter la quantité de matière nécessaire sans toutefois mettre en cause la solidité du séparateur 2.The separator 2, as visible in particular on the figure 4 , has a separation blade 40 extending substantially vertically when the kit 1 is mounted, as visible in particular on the figure 3 . The blade 40 is in this example made of polymer material and has openings 41 made to limit the amount of material required without jeopardizing the strength of the separator 2.

La lame 40 comporte en outre, dans cet exemple, deux zones de fragilisation consistant en des lignes 42 de fragilité, d'épaisseur moindre, permettant à l'opérateur qui mettra en place le présentoir de casser le séparateur le long de ces lignes 42, le cas échéant, de manière à réduire la profondeur de rangée de produits en fonction de la profondeur qu'il souhaite ou qu'il peut mettre en place pour le présentoir. Ces lignes de fragilité 42 permettent d'adapter la longueur du séparateur 2 aux conditions de montage du kit 1. Le séparateur 2 comporte en outre des crochets 43, sur une extrémité avant de la lame 40 du séparateur 2, pour permettre la mise en place des butées 15 comme visible sur la figure 2 notamment. A cette fin, les butées 15 comprennent deux ouvertures agencées pour coopérer avec les crochets 43.The blade 40 further comprises, in this example, two zones of weakness consisting of lines 42 of fragility, of less thickness, allowing the operator who will set up the display to break the separator along these lines 42, if necessary, so as to reduce the product row depth according to the depth it wishes or that it can set up for the display. These lines of weakness 42 make it possible to adapt the length of the separator 2 to the mounting conditions of the kit 1. The separator 2 further comprises hooks 43, on a front end of the blade 40 of the separator 2, to allow the installation stops 15 as visible on the figure 2 especially. For this purpose, the stops 15 comprise two openings arranged to cooperate with the hooks 43.

Le séparateur 2 comporte en outre les moyens de couplage 5 comprenant un socle 50 sensiblement perpendiculaire à la lame 40, et donc sensiblement parallèle au support 7, après montage. Le socle 50 s'étend à la base de la lame 40, et est destiné à être en contact avec une surface supérieure 7a du support 7, après montage comme visible sur la figure 3. Les moyens de couplage 5 comprennent en outre un premier système de coopération amovible 51 avec le support 6 de premier type et également un deuxième système de coopération amovible 52 avec le support 7 de deuxième type. Les premier et deuxième systèmes de coopération 51 et 52 amovibles sont solidaires, notamment fixés au socle 50.The separator 2 further comprises the coupling means 5 comprising a base 50 substantially perpendicular to the blade 40, and therefore substantially parallel to the support 7, after assembly. The base 50 extends at the base of the blade 40, and is intended to be in contact with an upper surface 7a of the support 7, after mounting as visible on the figure 3 . The coupling means 5 further comprise a first removable cooperation system 51 with the support 6 of the first type and also a second removable cooperation system 52 with the support 7 of the second type. The first and second removable cooperation systems 51 and 52 are integral, in particular fixed to the base 50.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le premier système de coopération amovible 51 est confondu avec le deuxième système de coopération amovible 52. Chacun de ces systèmes de coopération amovible 51 et 52 comporte deux rangées 53 et 54 de languettes 55. Comme visible, les languettes 55 s'étendent dans des plans sensiblement parallèles à celui de la lame 40, à l'opposé de celle-ci par rapport au socle 50. En revanche, les languettes 55 des rangées 53 et 54 ne sont pas alignées, dans cet exemple, avec la lame 40 mais décalées de part et d'autre de celle-ci, comme visible en particulier sur les figures 3 et 4. Par ailleurs, les languettes 55 d'une rangée 53 se trouvent chacune à côté d'une languette 55 de la rangée 54 adjacente mais, dans cet exemple, ne sont pas alignées transversalement mais décalées. Les languettes 55 sont destinées à être introduites chacune dans une fente 25 du support 7. Au moins les languettes 55 d'une rangée, voire les languettes 55 des deux rangées dans l'exemple illustré, forment un épaulement 60, à une distance du socle 50 correspondant sensiblement à l'épaisseur du support 7, pour permettre la fixation du séparateur 2 au support 7 par encliquetage. Avantageusement, la longueur des languettes 55 adjacentes de deux rangées 53 et 54 est sensiblement égale à celle des fentes 25 du support 7 qui les accueillent. Dans l'exemple illustré, le décalage de deux languettes adjacentes de deux rangées 53 et 54 comme visible, permet de bloquer un déplacement du séparateur une fois fixé sur le support 7 alors même que chacune des languettes comporte une longueur 1 inférieure à la longueur L de la fente 25 du support 7.In the illustrated example, the first removable cooperation system 51 is merged with the second removable cooperation system 52. Each of these removable cooperation systems 51 and 52 comprises two rows 53 and 54 of tabs 55. As visible, the tabs 55 extend in planes substantially parallel to that of the blade 40, opposite thereof relative to the base 50. In contrast, the tabs 55 of the rows 53 and 54 are not aligned, in this example, with the blade 40 but staggered on either side thereof, as visible in particular on the Figures 3 and 4 . Furthermore, the tabs 55 of a row 53 are each next to a tab 55 of the row 54 adjacent but, in this example, are not aligned transversely but offset. The tongues 55 are intended to be each introduced into a slot 25 of the support 7. At least the tabs 55 of a row, or even the tabs 55 of the two rows in the illustrated example, form a shoulder 60 at a distance from the base 50 substantially corresponding to the thickness of the support 7, to allow the attachment of the separator 2 to the support 7 snap. Advantageously, the length of the adjacent tabs 55 of two rows 53 and 54 is substantially equal to that of the slots 25 of the support 7 which receives them. In the illustrated example, the offset of two adjacent tabs of two rows 53 and 54 as visible, makes it possible to block a displacement of the separator once fixed on the support 7 even though each of the tabs has a length 1 less than the length L of the slot 25 of the support 7.

Le premier système de coopération amovible 51 avec le support 6 de premier type sera décrit ultérieurement bien qu'il soit présent sur le séparateur 2 de la figure 2.The first removable cooperation system 51 with the support 6 of the first type will be described later although it is present on the separator 2 of the figure 2 .

Le rail 3 illustré sur la figure 5 de manière isolée, comporte, de même que le séparateur 2 de la figure 4, un socle 50, consistant en la surface sensiblement plane du rail 3 auquel sont reliées quatre rangées de languettes 55 réparties deux à deux sensiblement au bord du rail 3. Comme le séparateur 2, le rail 3 comporte des languettes 55, réparties sensiblement deux à deux sur deux rangées adjacentes, en décalé comme pour le séparateur 2. Les languettes 55 ou une partie d'entre elles forment un épaulement 60 à distance du socle 50 de manière à faciliter la coopération entre le support 7 comme visible sur la figure 6. Une fois montées, les languettes 55 introduites dans les fentes 25 du support 7 viennent s'encliqueter grâce aux épaulements 60 sous la surface 7b inférieure du support 7. Comme visible sur la figure 5, le rail 3 comporte des zones 62 de fragilité, permettant à un opérateur réalisant le montage de couper le rail 3 afin d'en diminuer la profondeur, en fonction par exemple de l'étagère du lieu de présentation.The rail 3 shown on the figure 5 in isolation, as well as the separator 2 of the figure 4 , a base 50, consisting of the substantially flat surface of the rail 3 to which are connected four rows of tabs 55 distributed in pairs substantially to the edge of the rail 3. Like the separator 2, the rail 3 comprises tabs 55, distributed substantially two to two of two adjacent rows, shifted as for the separator 2. The tabs 55 or a portion of them form a shoulder 60 away from the base 50 so as to facilitate the cooperation between the support 7 as visible on the figure 6 . Once mounted, the tabs 55 introduced into the slots 25 of the support 7 snap together thanks to the shoulders 60 under the lower surface 7b of the support 7. As visible on the figure 5 , the rail 3 has areas 62 of fragility, allowing an operator carrying out the assembly to cut the rail 3 to reduce the depth, for example according to the shelf of the place of presentation.

On a représenté sur les figures 7 à 12 un autre type de support 6, dit de premier type, à savoir un support 6 métallique visible sur la figure 7 sur lequel le même kit 1 conforme à l'invention va pouvoir se fixer de manière amovible. Dans cet exemple, comme visible, les séparateurs 2, rails 3, butées 15, poussoirs 8, dos de poussoir 12 de réglage en hauteur des poussoirs, organes de rappel 9 des poussoirs 8 sont ceux illustrés sur les figures précédentes.We have shown on Figures 7 to 12 another type of support 6, said first type, namely a metal support 6 visible on the figure 7 on which the same kit 1 according to the invention will be able to be fixed removably. In this example, as visible, the separators 2, rails 3, stops 15, pushers 8, pusher back 12 of height adjustment of the pushers, return members 9 of the pushers 8 are those illustrated in the previous figures.

En revanche, le support 6 est un support métallique de faible épaisseur e, notamment comprise entre 0,9 mm et 1,1 mm environ. Le porte-étiquette 13 est sensiblement différent, venant se rapporter sur les autres éléments du kit 1 et n'étant pas solidaire avant montage du support 6.In contrast, the support 6 is a thin metal support e, in particular between 0.9 mm and 1.1 mm. The label holder 13 is substantially different, referring to the other elements of the kit 1 and not being secured before mounting the support 6.

On visualise en particulier sur les figures 10 et 11 la face supérieure 6a du support 6 et sur la figure 12 la face inférieure 6b du support 6.We visualize in particular on Figures 10 and 11 the upper face 6a of the support 6 and on the figure 12 the lower face 6b of the support 6.

Le support 6 comporte une pluralité de rangées 70, au nombre de trois dans l'exemple illustré, présentant des fentes. Dans l'exemple illustré, deux des trois rangées 70 comportent une alternance de plus grandes fentes 71 et plus petites fentes 72. La troisième rangée comporte des fentes présentant la même longueur. Ce système d'alternance de fentes plus longues et plus courtes sur deux rangées vise à faciliter l'installation du rail ou du séparateur de manière parfaitement perpendiculaire au bord avant du support portant le porte-étiquette, en permettant pour l'installateur le repérage visuel d'une fente 71 (respectivement 72) d'une rangée par rapport aux fentes adjacentes 72 (respectivement 71) et ainsi viser la fente 71 (respectivement 72) correspondante pour la rangée suivante. Le support 6 comporte en outre une rangée d'ouvertures 73 de forme circulaire, d'un nombre équivalent notamment aux fentes 71.The support 6 comprises a plurality of rows 70, three in number in the illustrated example, having slots. In the example shown, two of the three rows 70 comprise an alternation of larger slots 71 and smaller slots 72. The third row has slots having the same length. This system of alternation of longer and shorter slots in two rows is intended to facilitate the installation of the rail or separator perfectly perpendicular to the front edge of the support carrying the label holder, allowing for the installer visual identification. a slot 71 (respectively 72) of a row relative to the adjacent slots 72 (respectively 71) and thus target the slot 71 (respectively 72) corresponding to the next row. The support 6 further comprises a row of openings 73 of circular shape, of a number equivalent in particular to the slots 71.

Le mode de fixation des séparateurs 2 et rails 3 est le suivant. Comme visible sur les figures 4 et 5, et comme indiqué plus haut, les séparateurs 2 et rails 3 du mode de réalisation illustré comportent un premier système de coopération amovible 51 avec le support 6 de premier type comportant les languettes 55, au moins l'une des languettes 55 formant avec le socle 50, une encoche 80 présentant dans cet exemple une forme sensiblement de crochet. L'encoche 80 a une épaisseur minimum permettant l'introduction dans cette encoche d'une portion du support 6.The method of fixing separators 2 and rails 3 is as follows. As visible on figures 4 and 5 , and as indicated above, the separators 2 and rails 3 of the illustrated embodiment comprise a first removable cooperation system 51 with the support 6 of the first type comprising the tabs 55, at least one of the tabs 55 forming with the base 50, a notch 80 having in this example a substantially hook shape. The notch 80 has a minimum thickness allowing the introduction into this notch of a portion of the support 6.

Par ailleurs, le premier système de coopération amovible 51 du séparateur 2 comporte au moins, dans cet exemple exactement un pion 83 visible sur la figure 4 destiné à coopérer avec l'ouverture 73 du support 6 afin de permettre la fixation sur le support 6 du séparateur 2. De même, le rail 3 comporte au moins un pion 83, dans cet exemple deux pions 83 visibles sur la figure 5 destinés à coopérer avec des ouvertures 73 correspondantes formées sur le support 6 afin de permettre la fixation sur le support 6 du rail 3.Furthermore, the first removable cooperation system 51 of the separator 2 comprises at least, in this example exactly one pin 83 visible on the figure 4 intended to cooperate with the opening 73 of the support 6 in order to allow attachment on the support 6 of the separator 2. Similarly, the rail 3 comprises at least one pin 83, in this example two pins 83 visible on the figure 5 intended to cooperate with corresponding openings 73 formed on the support 6 in order to allow the fixing on the support 6 of the rail 3.

Enfin, dans le mode de réalisation illustré, le séparateur 2 comporte, comme visible notamment sur la figure 4, une patte élastique 85 portant le pion 83, la patte élastique 85 comprenant dans cet exemple une gâchette 86 agencée pour permettre à un utilisateur d'effectuer le retrait du pion 83 hors de l'ouverture 73, en cas de démontage du séparateur 2, dans un mouvement illustré par une flèche sur la figure 11.Finally, in the illustrated embodiment, the separator 2 comprises, as visible in particular on the figure 4 , an elastic tab 85 carrying the pin 83, the elastic tab 85 comprising in this example a trigger 86 arranged to allow a user to perform the withdrawal of the pin 83 from the opening 73, in case of disassembly of the separator 2, in a movement illustrated by an arrow on the figure 11 .

De même, comme visible sur les figures 5 et 10, des pattes élastiques 85, disposées latéralement portent chacune un pion 83. En exerçant une pression selon le mouvement illustré par les flèches sur la figure 10, un utilisateur peut effectuer le retrait des pions 83 hors des ouvertures 73, lors du démontage du rail 3.Similarly, as visible on figures 5 and 10 , resilient tabs 85, laterally disposed, each carry a pin 83. Pressing according to the movement illustrated by the arrows on the figure 10 , a user can perform the removal of the pins 83 out of the openings 73, during the dismantling of the rail 3.

Lors de la fixation sur un support métallique 6 de faible épaisseur, les languettes 55 sont introduites dans les fentes 71 ou 72 des rangées 70 du support. Puis le rail 3 qui est monté, ou le séparateur 2 qui est monté, est poussé par l'installateur vers l'avant de manière à introduire une portion de support dans l'encoche 80 et à bloquer ainsi le séparateur 2 ou le rail 3 concerné par rapport au support 6. Les dimensions du séparateur 2 sont prévues pour qu'à ce moment là, lorsque le support 6 est bien introduit dans l'encoche 80, le pion 83 s'introduise dans l'ouverture 73 correspondante afin de bloquer la fixation. Le séparateur 2 ou le rail 3 concerné est alors installé et fixé tout en permettant, notamment grâce à la gâchette 86, un retrait facile du séparateur 2 ou du rail 3.When fixing on a metal support 6 of small thickness, the tabs 55 are introduced into the slots 71 or 72 of the rows 70 of the support. Then the rail 3 which is mounted, or the separator 2 which is mounted, is pushed by the installer forward so as to introduce a support portion into the notch 80 and thereby block the separator 2 or the rail 3 concerned with the support 6. The dimensions of the separator 2 are provided so that at this time, when the support 6 is well inserted into the notch 80, the pin 83 is introduced into the corresponding opening 73 to block fixation. The separator 2 or the rail 3 concerned is then installed and fixed while allowing, thanks to the trigger 86, an easy removal of the separator 2 or the rail 3.

On peut visualiser sur les figures 9 à 12 les rail 3 et séparateur 2 une fois installés sur le support 6.We can visualize on Figures 9 to 12 the rails 3 and separator 2 once installed on the support 6.

Comme visible sur la figure 9 en particulier, le tapis 10 de rouleaux 11 peut être équipé également d'un système de languettes 55 à encoches et/ou épaulements, permettant la fixation amovible des tapis de rouleaux 10 sur des supports 6 ou des supports 7.As visible on the figure 9 in particular, the belt 10 of rollers 11 can also be equipped with a system of tabs 55 with notches and / or shoulders, allowing the removable attachment of the rollers 10 on supports 6 or supports 7.

Un même kit peut avoir des rails de largeurs différentes et des séparateurs de hauteurs différentes, comme c'est le cas du kit présenté dans le mode de réalisation illustré.The same kit may have rails of different widths and separators of different heights, as is the case of the kit presented in the illustrated embodiment.
