Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fast-change display for planar elements and setting, namely a surface equipped to easily display planar elements of interest, as ceramic tiles, metallic or glass or plastic tiles, or even wood, natural or artificial stone slabs, and any furniture elements for floors or layers, predominantly planar, that would need a fast replacement, for different possible preferred exhibition needs of the elements themselves to be replaced rapidly as well as shapes creating the setting to be associated with said elements. It also includes a method for applying said elements and their replacement/application to the display.
  • the background art includes displays for planar elements made up of wood panels or other planar product similar to wood whereto the planar elements to be exhibited are applied by the manufacturer with stickers and then delivered for the display of created combinations, to those places where they are exhibited for buyers of said elements i.e. to showrooms of possible compositions of the elements themselves in order to inspire the possible purchase of such a combination as the one shown.
  • said panels created by sticking planar elements get damaged when the planar elements are transported, as ceramic tiles.
  • a vertical display for ceramic tiles whereto a metallic panel slab is applied and whereon tiles to be exposed are placed, being them equipped with small metal plate stuck together to their back surface with a small plate with permanent magnet; the small metal plate being replaceable by a glue with ferromagnetic material dispersion.
  • clinging is achieved through a magnetic field reinforced by the presence of two metal surfaces: the metal plate on the panel and the small metal plate or the adhesive material with ferromagnetic metal dispersion, allowing the magnetic plate to keep a fixed position for the tile on the display panel.
  • U1 planar elements can be provided with a magnetic layer to cling to a floor or wall and also the metal sheet on the floor or wall can be magnetic.
  • the whole display panel has to be replaced, precisely to replace the planar elements applied on it, in those cases when display panels with directly attached planar elements are used.
  • the display panel is no longer useful for selling the product, and it is sent to a dump as composite material without processing it, being it difficult to detach the planar elements from the panel and being the panel made up of different kind of materials to be sent to the dump, therefore causing higher waste disposal costs.
  • the change of planar elements to expose occurs by replacing the elements applied on them.
  • the known art provides a way to apply a layer of magnetic material on each element in order to make it possible to remove said element when it must be disposed: greater costs for magnetic clinging are related to magnetic layer used, while the ferromagnetic material fixed to the exhibition wall has a lower cost.
  • the magnetic layer in the known art, is disposed in a dump together with the decorative element material to which it is applied, making it not-reusable if removed from the element itself: when removing it the material bends, stretches and eventually it no more appears planar, so that it is more cost effective to replace it with a new layer on the new decorative element to be exposed.
  • planar elements are transported in packing boxes put side by side, in order to reduce transport load and to facilitate storage; therefore, the present limit of the art is that a seller, having planar elements to sell, who for any reasons does not have a corresponding display or panel with those planar elements he wants to offer on sale, is unable to create a panel or display showing the composition for those planar elements representing the most advantageous sale for him.
  • a seller having planar elements to sell, who for any reasons does not have a corresponding display or panel with those planar elements he wants to offer on sale, is unable to create a panel or display showing the composition for those planar elements representing the most advantageous sale for him.
  • the planar elements display panels owned by seller and the planar elements the seller wants to offer on sale which could be of greater interest, due to special offers or any other reasons, such as end of series or special offer for certain planar elements with particular shape, color, or decoration or their combination.
  • a technical problem at the base of present invention is to create a fast-change display and setting for planar elements allowing both for an easy and smooth detachment of the planar elements and setting on the panel, as well as equally easy attachment on it of other planar elements and corresponding photographing or decorative setting to be exhibited.
  • the aim included in the previous technical problem is to achieve an easy, flexible and economical way to make the planar elements attachable to the display panel, as well as a way to apply it in a sufficiently strong manner, in order to keep the corresponding planar element, as well as the applied photographing setting, together with the panel placed on a vertical display surface and a clinging means able to cover the support surface of the planar element.
  • a fast-change display for planar elements and photographing or descriptive setting with: a surface having a suitable size to house a desired number and shape of planar elements; a display surface provided with a distributed magnetic field and made with a rubber or plastic synthetic material layer provided with a ferromagnetic material dispersion activated as to create the above said magnetic field; each planar element or the like is equipped with at least one mean of clinging applied by means of an adhesive layer on the support face of the interested planar element, and including a dispersion or a ferromagnetic material continuity; characterized in that it has a sheet constituting the photographing or descriptive setting; the sheets creating the descriptive or photographing setting being made of flexible material with non-activated ferromagnetic material dispersion and printing made directly on the surface in view of the flexible material.
  • the synthetic material layer with magnetized ferromagnetic material dispersion consists of a thin rubber or plastic magnetized layer forming a magnetic field, near to the support surface, between 300 and 600 gauss; moreover, at 10 millimeters from the support surface the magnetic field is almost null.
  • the rubber or plastic magnetized layer is from 0.5 to 2 millimeters thick.
  • a clinging mean has an adhesive layer on both sides adhering to the support face of the interested planar element and to the surface of a rubber or plastic synthetic material layer with ferromagnetic material dispersion, that is not activated, and is from 0.1 to 1.5 mm thick.
  • the clinging mean has an adhesive layer on both sides adhering to the support face of the interested planar element and to the surface of a thin ferromagnetic metal sheet and is from 0.05 to 0,5 mm thick.
  • the rubber or plastic synthetic material layer with magnetized ferromagnetic dispersion is 1.5 millimeters thick, and has a magnetic field on the support surface between 475 and 550 gauss.
  • clinging means with ferromagnetic metal sheet preferably show a metal sheet that is between 0.12 and 0.25 millimeters thick.
  • the photographing or descriptive setting sheets are between 0.1 and 0.3 millimeters thick and are directly printed on the surface in view of the material.
  • mosaic planar elements are provided with flexible clinging means, allowing for their application on curved, concave or convex surfaces, in a removable way with a rubber or plastic synthetic material layer between 0.5 and 1 millimeter thick; said layer is provided with inactive ferromagnetic material dispersion, or magnetized magnetic material.
  • a panel 1 of a display known in the art is shown, according to the invention, whose surface 2 is made magnetic by using rubber, plastic or synthetic material having a magnetized material dispersion applied on it, developing a strong but limited magnetic field at short or very-short distance from the surface itself; on the surface, planar elements 3 are applied forming the composition shown, accordingly, with said display, being characterized by the combination of planar elements wanted by the person arranging the exhibition of the products to be sold.
  • FIG. 2 there is one or more clinging means between the displayed planar elements and the magnetized surface 2 of panel 1, having a square shape 4 or with elongate shape 5 or even only one clinging mean 6, between the back surface 7 of planar element 3 and said display surface 2, and being it magnetized it attracts exposed planar elements in a stable way for a long time, without losing its magnetic pull.
  • the clinging mean consists of an adhesive layer 8 applied on the surface of a magnetic metal sheet 9, with iron base, and adhering on the back surface 7 of the interested planar element 3.
  • said magnetic metal sheet 9 is attached to the magnetized surface 2 of the display panel 1.
  • the strong magnetic force operated by the aforementioned magnetized rubber, holds said magnetic metal sheet 9 and also the planar element 3 to which it is glued with adhesive 8.
  • a display 10 for planar elements 3 with photographing setting is shown, according to the invention, wherein a sheet 11 of the setting, having a ferromagnetic material dispersion, is attached to the surface 2 of the display; planar elements 3 are shown in a group arrangement 12 in the low part of the setting figure, but could be placed in any number and position according to the desired decorative effect and synoptically association between the setting figure and the planar elements 3.
  • clinging means with magnetic metal sheet can be replaced, with the same effect by a rubber, plastic or other synthetic material provided with ferromagnetic material dispersion but not being magnetized.
  • a rubber, plastic or other synthetic material provided with ferromagnetic material dispersion but not being magnetized.
  • Such embodiment is not shown, however the aforementioned rubber is applied to the planar element to be displayed as the depicted clinging means, having the magnetic metal sheet 9, being slightly thicker and the useful thickness difference of metal or rubber sheet with ferromagnetic material dispersion being a millimeter greater for the rubber, whereas the adhesive thickness is constant and similar to the magnetic metal sheet 9, being it proportional to the load the clinging mean is intended to support.
  • Figure 11 shows a panel display 1, wherein three decorated planar elements 13 are placed, arranged side-by-side and located close to Figure 14 , creating a perspective photographing visual setting of an environment wherein the combination of the three decorated planar elements is shown.
  • the setting is a hypothetical brick-faced wall angle, but it can be any setting; said figure is created on a paper sheet as known in the art, and then applied to surface 2 with the magnetized rubber within the perimeter 15 of the display.
  • the desired setting photograph is directly printed on a paper sheet or thin plastic with ferromagnetic material dispersion.
  • the printed sheet 11 is thus applied to the magnetized rubber surface 2 of the panel display 1 or 10, and it can be removed for future replacement, without damaging it or being glued forever to the surface 2 of the display panel.
  • the plastic sheet with the photographing setting has a minimum thickness, few tenths of a millimeter, so that planar elements 3 or 13 can be placed above said sheet in order to create the desired setting; moreover, variants of the setting, desired by the person managing the panel display 1, can be achieved by replacing the setting sheet, to perform a different setting, simply by raising it from an edge 16 of the photographing setting sheet 11 from the magnetized rubber surface 2 without reducing the surface attraction force of the planar elements or photographing setting sheets, necessary for future use of the panel display 1 or 10.
  • the method of application of the planar elements to be displayed exploits magnetic features of magnetized rubber, constituting the display surface 2 and being it magnetized, and the magnetic metal sheet 9 or the rubber or plastic with ferromagnetic material dispersion, which due to its ferromagnetism is attracted by the aforementioned magnetized rubber when is placed close to it.
  • the described clinging mean consists of materials that are non-active to magnetic force, i.e. they do not produce it, but using rubber or magnetized plastic applied to the panel display surface 1, planar element 3 to be displayed is strongly attracted because it is provided with magnetic metal sheet 9 or the like, as rubber with ferromagnetic material dispersion, from the clinging means, applied on the back surface 7 by means of adhesive 8.
  • the display panel surface made with magnetized rubber, attracts a metal or rubber or plastic with ferromagnetic material dispersion sheet, as stated above.
  • the application of the interested planar element on the display panel occurs by placing the planar element with magnetic metal sheet 9 facing the surface 2 of the panel display 1.
  • planar elements can be stored with the clinging means applied thereon.
  • Financial commitment is low, as clinging means consist of an adhesive layer and a ferromagnetic metal sheet, that can be thin, or as said of a rubber or plastic layer or similar material having a ferromagnetic material dispersion.
  • Planar elements easily cling to the magnetized surface 2 of the display 1 or 10 even if there is a photographing setting sheet 11, as this is thin and does not influence the attraction capacity of the magnetized rubber on the ferromagnetic metal sheet 9, or the like, of the clinging means.
  • the display panel can always be reused and its magnetic ability doe not decrease even with extended use of the rubber or magnetized plastic material.
  • the material constituting the planar element can be disposed, if not recycled otherwise, on the basis of its nature, as said, being it ceramics or plastic or glass or even wood, natural or artificial stone slabs, whereas the material constituting the clinging means is disposed as unsorted waste having it a very low amount of metal or rubber or plastic layer with ferromagnetic material with respect to the adhesive, decreasing the actual costs related to waste disposal when disposing the whole panel with planar elements on it, as unsorted waste.
  • planar element photographing settings or planar elements compositions the image associated to the composition made on a paper or thin plastic material sheet, ranging from 1 to 3 tenth of millimeter, with ferromagnetic material dispersion, is applied in a similar way to the planar elements, as described, to the exhibition surface of the display panel, and it can be stocked and used several times and with different arrangement of decorated or not decorated planar elements, according to the needs of the person managing the display panel.
  • planar elements to be displayed can be made up of very small elements and arranged as a mosaic as well as they can supported by a network structure; such mosaic elements can be exposed similarly to elements 3 or 11 described above, i.e. by applying the described clinging means to the their back surface.
  • the use of clinging means with rubber or plastic with ferromagnetic material dispersion also allows for their application on curved surface, i.e. it is possible to show the potential client a curved arrangement of the mosaic.
  • a rubber, plastic or similar magnetized material being from 0.5 to 2 millimeters thick, preferably 1.5 millimeters thick; considering the cost and the generation of magnetic field advantageously ranging from 300 gauss to 600 gauss, preferably from 450 to 550 gauss, creating a strong magnetic field on the surface where the planar elements are applied with a minimum of 40 g/cmq and a maximum of 120 g/cmq of attraction force; i.e. the generated magnetic field is strong up to a maximum of 10 millimeters from the surface 2 of the display; a magnetized rubber with stronger magnetic field is possible, but it would only raise costs.
  • the magnetic field is almost null beyond a 10 millimeters distance, thus avoiding problems related to people or objects closed to it, which should not be subject to strong magnetic fields.
  • the ferromagnetic metal sheet in the clinging means is advantageously between 0.05 millimeters and 0.5 millimeters thick, preferably ranging from 0.12-0.25 millimeters thick.
  • a rubber or plastic slab with ferromagnetic material dispersion, not being magnetized is thicker ranging from 0.1 millimeters to 1.5 millimeters, preferably 1 millimeter thick.
  • clinging means always extend on a surface which is lower than the support surface of the normally used planar elements, with a maximum value lower than 50% of the surface of the planar element, as ceramic tiles or other materials with used thicknesses.
  • the panel surface having rubber or magnetized plastic is further advantageous because of its lower cost for the disposal of displayed materials, at the end of their life. Indeed, the magnetized rubber or plastic, certainly having a greater cost, remains applied to the panel display 1 or 10, while the clinging means 4, 5 or 6 are removed by detaching them from the back surface of the planar element 3 or 13 no longer intended to be exhibited.
  • planar elements material is very convenient, if not used in a different way, as they are separated from the ferrous material (ferromagnetic metal or rubber or plastic sheet with ferrous material dispersion) constituting the not-recyclable part of the described clinging means, because of the great amount of adhesive material used with respect to the metal or rubber or plastic sheet with ferromagnetic material dispersion, which is difficult to separate due to its low thickness.
  • the photographing setting sheet is disposed in a dump, together with recyclable materials, only at the end of its use, being it usable as support to the exhibition of different compositions of planar elements to expose.
  • the dispersion of ferromagnetic material constituting the characterizing part of the clinging means can be made within the adhesive material layer, being applied as a paint or resin coating on the support face of the planar element to be displayed; such layer does not need to remain adhesive, but it has to be applied to a completely flat support surface of the planar element.
