Definitions

  • US 5 412 971 A and US 5 709 122 A disclose a sign of the type comprising a number of sign elements mounted in a base profile, which has over-folded longitudinal edge portions so that the base profile will get a C-like shape in cross-section.
  • Each sign element is normally provided with a symbol in the form of a letter of a digit and several sign elements may be combined to form a desired sequence of symbols.
  • the sign elements have the form of rectangular plates and, when a sign is assembled, a desired combination of sign elements is inserted into the base profile so that the over-folded edge portions of the base profile overlap upper and lower edge portions of the sign elements.
  • Fastening of the sign elements in the base profile is accomplished by deforming the over-folded edge portions at their ends by means of a suitable tool so that the sign elements are kept in place in the base profile and prevented from sliding out of it.
  • Through holes are provided in the end portions of the base profile so that the sign through these holes may be fixed to an object by means of fastening members, for instance in the form of screws, nails or rivets.
  • Signs of this type may be used as markings on many different types of installations, such as for instance power line poles, lighting poles and electric cabinets.
  • the signs are usually made of metal, such as for instance aluminium. In connection with inspection or maintenance of an installation provided with a sign of the type here in question, it may be desirable to automatically read information about the installation in question.
  • the sign is provided with a bar code label with suitable information content.
  • a bar code label is sensitive to environmental influence and will in course of time be decayed and impossible to read if it is subjected to sun, wind, rain or salt during a longer period of time. If the sign is placed on an installation in or close to a desert area, the bar code label may also be decayed in short time if subjected to sand storm. Thus, there is a need to improve the durability of a bar code label arranged on a sign of the type here in question.
  • GB 506 243 A discloses a sign in the form of a registration number plate for vehicles comprising an elongated base profile, wherein several sign elements and a blank covering plate are received in the base profile.
  • the covering plate is configured to cover an interspace between two sign elements in order to keep these sign elements at a desired distance from each other.
  • the object of the present invention is to achieve a simple and appropriate solution to the above-mentioned problem.
  • the sign according to the invention comprises:
  • the covering plate When the covering plate is in the first displacement position, the covering plate protects the bar code label from being affected by sun, wind, rain, salt and sand storm. The covering plate also protects the bar code label from being decayed by scrawling and other vandalism. When necessary, the bar code label can in a rapid and simple manner be made accessible for reading by a lateral displacement of the covering plate. Owing to the fact that the covering plate is mounted to the base profile in the same manner as the sign elements, the covering plate may be given a similar design as the sign elements and the covering plate can thereby be integrated in the sign in a discrete manner without affecting the overall impression of the sign to any appreciable extent.
  • the sign comprises a springy locking member which is intended to be clamped to the base profile by engagement with the first and second over-folded edge portions of the base profile to thereby keep the covering plate in said first displacement position.
  • this locking member the covering plate is kept in the protecting position on the bar code label so that an unintentional displacement of the covering plate away from the bar code label is avoided, at the same time as the clamping force of the locking member easily can be overcome by hand in order to uncover the bar code label if the spring force of the locking member is appropriately dimensioned.
  • the locking member is fixed to the covering plate so as to be displaceable in relation to the base profile together with the covering plate.
  • the locking member is prevented from being lost.
  • a sign 1 according to two different embodiments of the present invention is illustrated in Figs. 1-8 .
  • the sign 1 comprises an elongated base profile 2 with a bottom portion 3, a first over-folded edge portion 4a arranged along a first side edge 5a of the bottom portion 3 and a second over-folded edge portion 4b arranged along a second side edge 5b of the bottom portion opposite the first over-folded edge portion 4a.
  • the bottom portion 3 has a front side 6 and a backside 7.
  • a number of sign elements 8 are received in the base profile 2 and arranged on the front side 6 of the bottom portion.
  • the sign elements 8 are provided with desired symbols, for instance in the form of digits or letters.
  • Each sign element 8 has a first edge portion 9a (see Fig.
  • the sign elements 8 suitably have the form of rectangular plates.
  • the symbol of a sign element 8 is with advantage punched out of the sign element so that the bottom portion 3 of the base profile is visible through the punching.
  • the sign elements 8 suitably have another colour than the bottom portion 3 so that the symbols of the sign elements 8 will appear through contrasting effect between the sign elements and the bottom portion.
  • the symbol of a sign element 8 could of course also be formed in another way, for instance by printing or painting.
  • a bar code label 10 (see Figs. 5, 6 and 8 ) is arranged on the front side 6 of the bottom portion between said first and second over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b and at the side of the sign elements 8.
  • the bar code label 10 is suitably a sticker provided with a unique bar code pattern.
  • a preferably rectangular covering plate 11 is displaceably received in the base profile 2 and arranged on the front side 6 of the bottom portion at the side of the sign elements 8.
  • the covering plate 11 is fastened to the base profile 2 in the same manner as the sign elements 8 and has a first edge portion 12a (see Fig. 4 ) which is in engagement with the first over-folded edge portion 4a of the base profile and an opposite second edge portion 12b which is in engagement with the second over-folded edge portion 4b of the base profile, the over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b of the base profile overlapping said first and second edge portions 12a, 12b of the covering plate so that the covering plate 11 thereby is kept in place in the base profile 2.
  • the covering plate 11 is displaceable in relation to the bottom portion 3 to an fro between a first displacement position (see Figs. 1, 2 and 7 ), in which the covering plate 11 is located on the bar code label 10 and thereby protectingly covers the bar code label, and a second displacement position (see Figs. 5, 6 and 8 ), in which the covering plate 11 is located at the side of the bar code label 10 and thereby leaves the bar code label accessible for reading.
  • the covering plate 11 is displaceable in relation to the base profile 2 in the longitudinal direction of the base profile, i.e. along the over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b of the base profile.
  • the covering plate 11 could be displaceable in the cross-direction of the base profile through a slit arranged in one of the over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b of the base profile.
  • the covering plate 11 may be completely blank or provided with a company logo or other marking.
  • a covering plate 11 and a desired combination of sign elements 8 are inserted into the base profile 2 from an end of the base profile so that the over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b of the base profile are made to overlap the first and second edge portions 12a, 12b of the covering plate and the first and second edge portions 9a, 9b of the sign elements.
  • the over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b are then deformed at their ends at the areas marked with 13 by pressing the edge portions 4a, 4b inwards against the bottom portion 3 in these areas so that the covering plate 11 and the sign elements 8 are unable to slide past these areas.
  • the covering plate 11 and the sign elements 8 are kept in place in the base profile 2 and prevented from sliding out of the base profile.
  • Through holes 14 are arranged in the end portions of the base profile so that the sign 1 through these holes may be fixed to an object by means of fastening members in the form of for instance screws, nails or rivets.
  • the base profile 2, the sign elements 8 and the covering plate 11 are suitably made of aluminium or other suitable metal.
  • the covering plate 11 is provided with a handle 15 which is designed to be gripped with one or more finger or a hand by a user in order to displace the covering plate 11 in relation to the base profile 2 between the above-mentioned displacement positions.
  • the sign 1 comprises a springy locking member 16 which is intended to be clamped to the base profile 2 by engagement with the first and second over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b of the base profile to thereby keep the covering plate 11 in said first displacement position.
  • the locking member 16 comprises an elongated base portion 17 which extends between the over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b of the base profile, a first leg 18a which is configured for engagement with the first over-folded edge portion 4a of the base profile and an opposite second leg 18b which is configured for engagement with the second over-folded edge portion 4b of the base profile.
  • the legs 18a, 18b are springingly connected to each other through the base portion 17 and are displaceable in the direction towards each other against the action of a spring force.
  • the locking member 16 is displaceably received in the base profile 2 so as to be displaceable in relation to the base profile 2 in the longitudinal direction of the base profile, i.e. along the over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b of the base profile.
  • each leg 18a, 18b is pressed against the over-folded edge portions 4a, 4b of the base profile so that the locking member 16 is held to the base profile 2 in the prevailing position.
  • each leg is at its outer end provided with a gripping part 19a, 19b which projects from the bottom portion 3 of the base profile and which is configured to be grippable by the fingers.
  • the base portion 17 and the legs 18a, 18b of the locking member are preferably formed in one piece of spring steel.
  • the locking member 16 is with advantage fixed to the covering plate 11 so as to be displaceable in relation to the base profile 2 together with the covering plate.
  • the above-mentioned gripping parts 19a, 19b of the legs 18a, 18b of the locking member may be used as handles in connection with a displacement of the covering plate 11 along the base profile 2.
  • the base profile 2 and the covering plate 11 could be provided with recesses and projections which come into engagement with each other with snap-in effect when the covering plate 11 assumes the above-mentioned second displacement position and thereby keeps the covering plates in this displacement position so as to thereby secure that the bar code label 10 remains uncovered in connection with a reading thereof.
