Definitions
- This presentation concerns the presentation of objects, and more particularly a secure device for presenting objects.
- a secure device for presenting objects.
- Such a device can in particular be used for the secure presentation of watches in a commercial space.
- the present disclosure relates to a device for presenting objects as defined by claim 1, in particular comprising a base comprising at least one cell, at least one support configured to receive at least one object and to be inserted and extracted of the socket, and at least one movable bolt between a locked position in which the bolt is able to cooperate with the support to retain it in the socket, and an unlocked position in which the bolt allows the support to be extracted from the 'cell, each bolt being associated with a single cell and actuated by a separate drive mechanism.
- a cell and the bolt associated with this cell form a cell-bolt assembly.
- the object presentation device may include a plurality of socket-bolt assemblies of the type defined above. For example, these alveolus-bolt assemblies are organized in rows.
- each alveolus-bolt assembly will include the cases where the device comprises a single alveolus-bolt assembly or several alveolus-bolt assemblies.
- Such a presentation device is simple in design and can be made particularly aesthetic. In addition, it is simple to use. Finally, it is optimal with regard to security: thanks to the fact that the respective bolts of each cell-bolt assembly are associated with the respective cells of the corresponding cell-bolt assemblies and actuated by a separate drive mechanism, in particular a mechanism specific to each socket-bolt assembly, moving a bolt to its unlocked position has no influence on the bolts of the other socket-bolt assembly (s), if there are several. Consequently, a support carrying an object can be easily removed without affecting the security of the objects carried by the other supports, if there are any.
- the drive mechanism is configured to drive the bolt in rotation around the cell.
- the space required for the different positions of the bolt is limited, which makes it possible to make the presentation device compact, in particular when several alveolus-bolt assemblies are provided one next to the other.
- the drive mechanism includes a motor.
- the drive mechanism can be actuated by an electrical control, possibly remotely, which does not require direct access to the drive mechanism.
- the drive mechanism includes a cam configured to drive the bolt from the locked position to the unlocked position, and to allow the bolt to move freely between the unlocked position and the locked position.
- the interaction between the cam and the bolt is therefore limited, which increases the reliability of the device.
- the cam can be configured to cooperate with the bolt in part of its movement, while in another part of its movement, the cam is in motion without cooperating with the bolt.
- the bolt is generally in the form of a plate and extends substantially parallel to the cell. We can for example make this plate in one piece.
- two straight lines (respectively planes) which are substantially parallel are understood to mean two straight lines (respectively planes) which form between them (respectively between them) a maximum angle of 45 °, and preferably an angle less than 20 °, or even a zero angle. Thanks to these provisions, the size of the bolt is minimal.
- the indication that the bolt is "substantially parallel to the cell” means that it is substantially parallel to the plane defined by the edges of the cell.
- the cell comprises at least one window and part of the bolt passes through said window.
- the part of the bolt passing through the window can be used to fix the bolt to the cell.
- the bolt is configured so as to allow, in the locked position, the insertion of the support into the socket.
- the support can be configured so as to allow, in the locked position of the bolt, its insertion into the socket.
- the insertion of the support in the locked position can be carried out by snap-fastening.
- Latching is a movement provided by a mechanism intended to allow this movement in one direction and to prevent this movement in the other direction.
- the latching can be carried out by means of a spring, in particular of the leaf spring type.
- the bolt comprises return means configured to recall the bolt from the unlocked position to the locked position. This is particularly advantageous for ensuring the security of the support in the event of a failure of the drive mechanism or for limiting the cooperation of the cam and the bolt, if necessary, and avoiding premature wear of the bolt.
- the return means may be able to cooperate with the cell.
- the return means may in particular comprise a spring, in particular of the leaf spring type.
- the bolt comprises a return element configured both to recall the bolt from the unlocked position to the locked position and to allow the latching of the support in the cell. The double function given to the return element makes it possible to optimize the structure of the bolt and to simplify it.
- the drive mechanism comprises means for detecting an unlocked position of the bolt.
- the drive mechanism may include timing means configured to maintain the bolt in an unlocked position for a predetermined period of time, as soon as the detection means detect the unlocked position of the bolt.
- the detection means and / or the timing means make it possible to facilitate the extraction of the support from the cell, respectively by indicating and / or by extending the duration during which the bolt is in the unlocked position.
- the support comprises a locking part configured to cooperate with the bolt when the bolt is in the locked position.
- the locking parts of the support and the bolt can be respectively male or female.
- the drive mechanism is configured to receive an unlocking authorization and, on receipt of said authorization, drive the bolt from the locked position to the unlocked position.
- the unlocking authorization can be transmitted by wired or wireless signal, in particular by infrared and / or by means of a remote control.
- the support is configured to receive a watch, in particular a wristwatch.
- the figure 1 presents a side view of an object presentation device 10 (hereinafter "device 10").
- the device 10 comprises a base 20 comprising at least one cell 22 (see figure 4 ), at least one support 30 configured to receive at least one object and to be inserted and extracted from the socket 22, and at least one bolt 40.
- the bolt 40 is movable between a locked position in which the bolt 40 is capable of cooperate with the support 30 to retain it in the socket 22, and an unlocked position in which the bolt 40 makes it possible to extract the support 30 from the socket 22.
- the base 20 is generally in the form of a plate.
- the base 20 comprises a plurality of cells 22, of which only two have been shown on the figure 1 .
- Other shapes can be given to the base 20, in particular quasi-planar or planar forms by piece.
- the device 10 comprises a plurality of bolts 40, of which only two have been shown on the figure 1 .
- the device 10 comprises a plurality of alveolus-bolt assemblies, each alveolus-bolt assembly itself comprising a alveolus 22 and a bolt 40. Thereafter, only one of these alveolus-bolt assemblies will be described. As indicated above, each bolt 40 is associated with a single cell 22.
- the bolt 40 is arranged on a rear surface of the base 20.
- the front-rear direction corresponds to the direction of presentation of the objects, the front being on the consumer side.
- the bolt 40 is disposed on the side of the base 20 which is not normally accessible to consumers.
- the support 30, which is only partially shown on the figure 1 , comprises a locking part configured to cooperate with the bolt 40 when the bolt 40 is in the locked position.
- the support 30 comprises a front flange 33 and a rear flange 35 spaced from one another.
- the engagement of the bolt 40 in the space provided between the front flange 33 and the rear flange 35 makes it possible to retain the support 30 in the socket 22.
- These flanges can be continuous, as in the example shown, or discontinuous.
- the support 30 includes a zone 39 for positioning an indicative statement, such as the price or the reference of the product carried by the support.
- the shape of the support 30 and the shape of the cell 22 are provided so as to prevent, once the support 30 is inserted into the cell 22, any rotation of the support 30 relative to the cell 22.
- the shape, here elongated, of the cell 22 and the corresponding shape, here elongated, of the support 30 prevent any rotation of the support 30 in the plane of the base 20.
- the figure 2 is a partial sectional view according to the plan AA of the figure 1 , showing the situation in which the bolt 40 is in the locked position.
- the bolt 40 comprises at least one blade 44, here two blades 44, which will be described in more detail below.
- the blades 44 of the bolt 40 partially obstruct the socket 22, engage between the two flanges 33, 35 of the support 30 and thus retain the support 30.
- the blade or blades 44 of the bolt which provide the locking function by cooperating with the locking part of the support 30.
- the bolt 40, and more particularly the blades 44 engage in the support 30 transversely or radially, that is to say perpendicular to the front-rear direction defined above.
- the figure 3 is a partial sectional view according to the plan AA of the figure 1 , showing the situation in which the bolt 40 is in the unlocked position. In this position, the blades 44 are set back relative to their locked position. In particular, the blades 44 no longer engage the locking part of the support 30. As is clear from the figure 3 , nothing prevents then to extract the support 30 from the cell 22.
- the passage of the bolt 40 from the locked position shown on the figure 2 in the unlocked position shown on the figure 3 takes place by a rotation of the bolt 40, in particular a rotation of the bolt 40 around the cell 22.
- the bolt 40 is rotatably mounted around an axis of the cell, in particular an axis substantially perpendicular to a plane of the cell.
- the bolt 40 is rotated in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the cell 22.
- the bolt 40 rotates counterclockwise to pass from the locked position to the unlocked position.
- the rotation of the bolt 40 is carried out in particular by means of a drive mechanism 50 comprising a cam 52.
- the drive mechanism will be detailed later.
- the geometry of the bolt 40 will be described more particularly with reference to the figure 4 , on which the supports 30 have not been shown.
- the bolt 40 of the left cell is represented by locked position while the bolt 40 of the right cell is shown in the unlocked position.
- the bolt 40 comprises a central recess corresponding at least, with the exception of the parts ensuring the locking (here the blades 44), in the shape of the socket 22, whether the bolt 40 is in the locked or unlocked position. So, as we can see on the two positions represented on the figure 4 , the central recess of the bolt 40 makes it possible to have a support 30 in the cell.
- the bolt 40 comprises an outer frame 43, at least one blade 44 and an inner frame 45.
- the outer frame 43, the blade 44 and the inner frame 45 are joined, at their proximal end, at a portion 46 .
- the external frame 43 defines the external shape of the bolt 40 and ensures its cohesion in a single piece.
- the external frame 43 maintains and centers the bolt 40 on the cell 22, in particular by cooperation with protuberances 26 at the periphery of the cell 22.
- the internal frame 45 defines the internal shape of the bolt 40, when it differs from that defined by the external frame 43.
- the internal frame 45 maintains and centers the bolt 40 on the socket 22, in particular by cooperation with protrusions 24 at the periphery of the cell 22.
- the protrusions 24 and 26 are separated from each other so as to form a window.
- the blade 44 is located between the outer frame 43 and the inner frame 45.
- the thickness of the blade 44, at its proximal end is less than the thickness of the internal frame 45.
- the length separating the ends of the blade 44 is greater than the length separating the ends of the internal frame 45. Thanks to these provisions, the blade 44 has a bending stiffness less than that of the internal frame 45, and more generally less than that of the rest of the bolt 40. The blade 44 can therefore be subjected to bending, in particular in the main plane of the bolt 40, and functions as a spring blade.
- the protrusion 24 includes an inclined surface 24a.
- the blade 44 comprises, here at its distal end, an inclined surface 44a.
- the retraction of the blades 44 to ensure the unlocking of the support in bending stress the blade 44, thanks to the cooperation of the inclined surfaces 24a, 44a respective of the protuberance 24 of the base 20 and of the blade 44. More precisely, the blade 44 is in the rest position when the bolt 40 is in the locked position.
- the inclined surface 24a of the protrusion 24 exerts a force on the surface 44a of the blade 44, which causes the blade 44 to bend and the blade 44 to be withdrawn by relative to its locked position. So that the blade 44 no longer hinders passage through the cell 22, its end is provided with a surface 44b, in the extension of the surface 44a and inclined relative to the latter.
- the blade 44 Insofar as the blade 44 is in flexion when the bolt 40 is in the unlocked position, forces are exerted between the inclined surface 24a of the protrusion 24 and the inclined surface 44a of the blade 44. If the bolt 40 is not not maintained in the unlocked position, these efforts tend to return the bolt 40 to the locked position. Thus, the blade 44 forms return means configured to return the bolt 40 from the unlocked position to the locked position. As a result, the passage from the unlocked position to the locked position can be done simply by virtue of this restoring force, without the use of a drive mechanism.
- each bolt 40 is actuated by a separate drive mechanism 50, in particular for the passage from the locked position to the unlocked position.
- the bolt 40 for its drive, comprises at least one cam surface 41.
- the bolt 40 comprises at least one stop 42.
- the bolt 40 comprises two cam surfaces 41 and two stops 42 This makes the bolt 40 symmetrical and facilitates its manufacture.
- a single cam surface and a single stop will be described later.
- the shapes of the cam surface 41 and of the stop 42 are configured to cooperate with the cam 52.
- the cam 52 has a general shape in lowercase b, or in comma, having a part in eccentric projection 52a and a round part 52b.
- the cam 52 In the locked position (left side on the figure 4 ), the cam 52 does not cooperate with the bolt 40.
- the straight part 52a is distant from the bolt 40.
- the cam 52 rotates, here clockwise on the figure 4 .
- the eccentric projection part 52a approaches the cam surface 41 then engages the stop 42, which causes the bolt 40 to rotate, here counterclockwise. After a U-turn, the position obtained is that shown on the right on the figure 4 . It is an unlocked position.
- the drive mechanism 50 comprises means for detecting an unlocked position of the bolt 40.
- detection means here take the form of a switch 54.
- the switch 54 is integral with the base 20 (in this case, being carried by the drive mechanism 50, itself fixed to the base) so as to be able to cooperate with a support part 47 of the bolt 40.
- the rotation of the bolt changes the distance between the support part 47 and the switch 54, so that the switch is activated by the support part 47 when the bolt is in the unlocked position.
- the signal sent by the switch 54 can be used, in cooperation with electronic control means, to stop the movement of the cam 52, for example to keep the bolt 40 in the unlocked position for a predetermined duration.
- the electronic control means then form timing means.
- the drive mechanism 50 will now be detailed with reference to the figure 5 .
- the bolt 40 on the left is shown in the locked position while the bolt 40 on the right is shown in the unlocked position.
- the drive mechanism 50 comprises, in addition to the cam 52 and the switch 54 already presented, a motor 56 and an electronic control circuit 58.
- the figure 5 shows two drive mechanisms 50, one for each bolt 40.
- the two electronic control circuits are arranged on the same electronic card but are entirely independent.
- each drive mechanism includes its own motor 56.
- each bolt 40 is actuated by a separate drive mechanism 50.
- the motor 56 can be of a type known per se and will not be described here.
- the motor 56 rotates the cam 52.
- the electronic control circuit 58 controls the motor 56.
- the drive mechanism 50 can be configured, via the electronic control circuit 58, to receive an authorization for unlocking and, upon receipt of said authorization, activate the motor 56 so as to drive the bolt 40 from the locked position to the position unlocked.
- the electronic control circuit 58 may include a wired or wireless receiver, for example of the infrared type, for receiving the unlocking authorization.
- the electronic control circuit 58 can be configured, as indicated above, to take into account a position of the bolt 40 detected by the switch 54.
- the bolt 40 is initially in its locked position.
- the drive mechanism 50 receives, via the electronic control circuit 58, an unlocking authorization, for example via a signal sent by the infrared remote control of a seller.
- an unlocking authorization for example via a signal sent by the infrared remote control of a seller.
- the electronic control circuit 58 activates the motor 56 which rotates the cam 52.
- the cam 52 itself drives the bolt 40 in rotation from the locked position.
- the bolt 40 can rotate until its support part 47 activates the switch 54.
- the bolt 40 is then in the unlocked position.
- the activation of the switch 54 is detected by the electronic control circuit 58, which stops the rotation of the motor 56 for a predetermined duration, for example a few seconds.
- the seller can remove the support 30 from the cell 22.
- the electronic control circuit 58 again triggers the rotation of the motor 56.
- the motor 56 rotates the cam 52 which loses its contact with the bolt 40.
- the bolt 40 therefore returns to the locked position as explained above, while the cam 52 continues its turn.
- the motor 56 can be stopped when the cam 52 has returned to its original position. Limiting the time during which the bolt 40 is in the unlocked position and the blades 44 are in bending prevents premature wear of the blades 44 and, in particular of their attachment arms 44 'which give them a spring effect.
- the figure 6 shows in perspective a support 30 of the device 10.
- the support 30 is particularly configured to receive a bracelet, a wristwatch or any similar object.
- the support 30 comprises a main body 32 provided with a front flange 33 and a rear flange 35 already presented with reference to the figure 1 .
- the flanges 33, 35 define between them a locking slot 34 adapted to cooperate with the blade 44 of the bolt 40 to retain, in the locked position, the support 30 in the socket 22.
- the support 30 includes a rear support 36, connected to the main body 32 by a screw 37.
- a threaded ring 38 makes it possible to more or less engage the screw 37 in the body main 32, so as to bring the rear support 36 closer or further away from the main body 32.
- the ring 38 can be turned so that the bracelet is in tension around the main body 32 and the rear support 36.
- the bolt 40 is configured so as to allow, in the locked position, the insertion of the support 30 into the socket 22.
- the bolt 40 is only recalled in the locked position by bending the blades 44. If a user attempts to insert a support 30 into the socket 22 in this position, this support will therefore collide with the blades 44.
- the blades 44 and / or the support 30 can be configured so that the insertion of the support 30 in the cell 22 separates the blades 44.
- the rear flange 35 has bevelled lugs 35a.
- the blades 44 may include, at their distal end, a corresponding chamfered surface to facilitate the action of the lugs 35a.
- the support 30 carries positioning tabs 30 'which contribute to the correct positioning of the support in a cell 22. In fact, these tabs come to bear against the edges of the cell. This makes it possible to prevent, in particular when the bolt is unlocked, that the support does not tend to tip over into the socket under its own weight and that of the product that it carries, in particular a watch.
- the tongues 30 ′ are produced on at least one of the cheeks 30A of the support (preferably on the two cheeks 30A and 30B) and protrude elastically towards the outside of the cheek which carries them.
- the elastic tongues can cooperate with the edges of the cell by snap-fastening and, for this purpose, they can carry a stud 30'A or equivalent projecting therefrom.
- the bolt 40 can be made of any material suitable for its function, for example plastic or resin, for example material of Altuchoc® type or of POM type (for Polyoxymethylene). Each of the other components can also be formed from these materials.
- the bolt 40 as well as the base 20 can be obtained by cutting plates, which greatly simplifies their manufacture and reduces their production costs.
- support 30 configured to receive bracelets or wristwatches.
- support 30 can be modified to receive any type of object to be presented, without the principle of its cooperation with the socket 22 and the bolt 40 changing.
Description
Le présent exposé concerne la présentation d'objets, et plus particulièrement un dispositif sécurisé de présentation d'objets. Un tel dispositif peut notamment être utilisé pour la présentation sécurisée de montres dans un espace commercial.This presentation concerns the presentation of objects, and more particularly a secure device for presenting objects. Such a device can in particular be used for the secure presentation of watches in a commercial space.
Dans les magasins et espaces commerciaux, il est possible d'améliorer les ventes en mettant certains produits directement au contact du consommateur. Ainsi, sous le contrôle ou non d'un vendeur, le consommateur peut toucher ou saisir le produit pour mieux l'apprécier. Toutefois, pour les objets de valeur, supprimer les vitrines de protection nécessite d'employer des dispositifs de présentation sécurisés alternatifs.In stores and commercial spaces, it is possible to improve sales by putting certain products directly in contact with the consumer. Thus, under the control or not of a seller, the consumer can touch or grab the product to better appreciate it. However, for valuables, removing protective cases requires the use of alternative secure presentation devices.
Pour les montres et plus particulièrement les montres-bracelets, différents systèmes existent actuellement, tel que celui décrit dans la demande de brevet
Des systèmes plus sophistiqués existent mais sont difficiles d'utilisation. Par exemple, la demande internationale
Il existe donc un besoin pour un nouveau type de dispositif de présentation d'objets.There is therefore a need for a new type of device for presenting objects.
A cet effet, le présent exposé concerne un dispositif de présentation d'objets tel que défini par la revendication 1, notamment comprenant une base comprenant au moins une alvéole, au moins un support configuré pour recevoir au moins un objet et pour être inséré et extrait de l'alvéole, et au moins un pêne mobile entre une position verrouillée dans laquelle le pêne est apte à coopérer avec le support pour le retenir dans l'alvéole, et une position déverrouillée dans laquelle le pêne permet d'extraire le support de l'alvéole, chaque pêne étant associé à une seule alvéole et actionné par un mécanisme d'entraînement distinct.To this end, the present disclosure relates to a device for presenting objects as defined by
Dans un tel dispositif, une alvéole et le pêne associé à cette alvéole forment un ensemble alvéole-pêne. Le dispositif de présentation d'objet peut comporter une pluralité d'ensembles alvéole-pêne du type défini ci-dessus. Par exemple, ces ensembles alvéole-pêne sont organisés en rangées. Dans la suite, sauf indication contraire, la référence qui sera faite à "chaque ensemble alvéole-pêne" englobera les cas où le dispositif comprend un seul ensemble alvéole-pêne ou plusieurs ensembles alvéole-pêne.In such a device, a cell and the bolt associated with this cell form a cell-bolt assembly. The object presentation device may include a plurality of socket-bolt assemblies of the type defined above. For example, these alveolus-bolt assemblies are organized in rows. In the following, unless otherwise indicated, the reference which will be made to "each alveolus-bolt assembly" will include the cases where the device comprises a single alveolus-bolt assembly or several alveolus-bolt assemblies.
Un tel dispositif de présentation est simple de conception et peut être rendu particulièrement esthétique. En outre, il est simple à utiliser. Enfin, il est optimal vis-à-vis de la sécurité : grâce au fait que les pênes respectifs de chaque ensemble alvéole-pêne sont associés aux alvéoles respectives des ensembles alvéole-pêne correspondants et actionnés par un mécanisme d'entraînement distinct, notamment un mécanisme propre à chaque ensemble alvéole-pêne, le fait de déplacer un pêne vers sa position déverrouillée n'a pas d'influence sur les pênes du ou des autres ensembles alvéole-pêne, s'il y en a plusieurs. Par conséquent, un support portant un objet peut être facilement extrait sans que cela n'affecte la sécurité des objets portés par les autres supports, s'il y en a.Such a presentation device is simple in design and can be made particularly aesthetic. In addition, it is simple to use. Finally, it is optimal with regard to security: thanks to the fact that the respective bolts of each cell-bolt assembly are associated with the respective cells of the corresponding cell-bolt assemblies and actuated by a separate drive mechanism, in particular a mechanism specific to each socket-bolt assembly, moving a bolt to its unlocked position has no influence on the bolts of the other socket-bolt assembly (s), if there are several. Consequently, a support carrying an object can be easily removed without affecting the security of the objects carried by the other supports, if there are any.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le mécanisme d'entraînement est configuré pour entraîner le pêne en rotation autour de l'alvéole. Ainsi, l'encombrement à prévoir pour les différentes positions du pêne est limité, ce qui permet de rendre le dispositif de présentation compact, en particulier lorsque plusieurs ensembles alvéole-pêne sont prévus les uns à côtés des autres.In some embodiments, the drive mechanism is configured to drive the bolt in rotation around the cell. Thus, the space required for the different positions of the bolt is limited, which makes it possible to make the presentation device compact, in particular when several alveolus-bolt assemblies are provided one next to the other.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le mécanisme d'entraînement comprend un moteur. Ainsi, le mécanisme d'entraînement peut être actionné par une commande électrique, éventuellement à distance, ce qui ne nécessite pas d'accès direct au mécanisme d'entraînement.In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a motor. Thus, the drive mechanism can be actuated by an electrical control, possibly remotely, which does not require direct access to the drive mechanism.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le mécanisme d'entraînement comprend une came configurée pour entraîner le pêne de la position verrouillée à la position déverrouillée, et à laisser le pêne libre de mouvement entre la position déverrouillée et la position verrouillée. L'interaction entre la came et le pêne est donc limitée, ce qui augmente la fiabilité du dispositif.In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a cam configured to drive the bolt from the locked position to the unlocked position, and to allow the bolt to move freely between the unlocked position and the locked position. The interaction between the cam and the bolt is therefore limited, which increases the reliability of the device.
Par exemple, la came peut être configurée pour coopérer avec le pêne dans une partie de son déplacement, tandis que dans une autre partie de son déplacement, la came est en mouvement sans coopérer avec le pêne.For example, the cam can be configured to cooperate with the bolt in part of its movement, while in another part of its movement, the cam is in motion without cooperating with the bolt.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le pêne est en forme générale de plaque et s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à l'alvéole. On peut par exemple réaliser cette plaque en une seule pièce. Dans le cadre du présent exposé, on entend par deux droites (respectivement plans) sensiblement parallèles, deux droites (respectivement plans) qui forment entre elles (respectivement entre eux) au maximum un angle de 45°, et de préférence un angle inférieur à 20°, voire un angle nul. Grâce à ces dispositions, l'encombrement du pêne est minimal. De plus, l'indication selon laquelle le pêne est "sensiblement parallèle à l'alvéole" signifie qu'il est sensiblement parallèle au plan défini par les bords de l'alvéole.In certain embodiments, the bolt is generally in the form of a plate and extends substantially parallel to the cell. We can for example make this plate in one piece. In the context of the present description, two straight lines (respectively planes) which are substantially parallel are understood to mean two straight lines (respectively planes) which form between them (respectively between them) a maximum angle of 45 °, and preferably an angle less than 20 °, or even a zero angle. Thanks to these provisions, the size of the bolt is minimal. In addition, the indication that the bolt is "substantially parallel to the cell" means that it is substantially parallel to the plane defined by the edges of the cell.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'alvéole comporte au moins une fenêtre et une partie du pêne traverse ladite fenêtre. La partie du pêne traversant la fenêtre peut servir à la fixation du pêne sur l'alvéole.In certain embodiments, the cell comprises at least one window and part of the bolt passes through said window. The part of the bolt passing through the window can be used to fix the bolt to the cell.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le pêne est configuré de façon à permettre, en position verrouillée, l'insertion du support dans l'alvéole. Alternativement ou en complément, le support peut être configuré de façon à permettre, en position verrouillée du pêne, son insertion dans l'alvéole. Ainsi, le dispositif permet un verrouillage automatique et facile du support dans l'alvéole.In certain embodiments, the bolt is configured so as to allow, in the locked position, the insertion of the support into the socket. Alternatively or in addition, the support can be configured so as to allow, in the locked position of the bolt, its insertion into the socket. Thus, the device allows automatic and easy locking of the support in the cell.
L'insertion du support .en position de verrouillage peut être réalisée par encliquetage. L'encliquetage est un mouvement assuré par un mécanisme destiné à permettre ce mouvement dans un sens et à empêcher ce mouvement dans l'autre sens. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'encliquetage peut être réalisé au moyen d'un ressort, notamment de type lame ressort.The insertion of the support in the locked position can be carried out by snap-fastening. Latching is a movement provided by a mechanism intended to allow this movement in one direction and to prevent this movement in the other direction. In certain embodiments, the latching can be carried out by means of a spring, in particular of the leaf spring type.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le pêne comprend des moyens de rappel configurés pour rappeler le pêne de la position déverrouillée à la position verrouillée. Ceci est particulièrement avantageux pour assurer la sécurité du support en cas de défaillance du mécanisme d'entraînement ou pour limiter la coopération de la came et du pêne, le cas échéant, et éviter l'usure prématurée du pêne. Les moyens de rappel peuvent être aptes à coopérer avec l'alvéole. Les moyens de rappel peuvent en particulier comprendre un ressort, notamment de type lame ressort. Selon un mode de réalisation, le pêne comprend un élément de rappel configuré à la fois pour rappeler le pêne de la position déverrouillée à la position verrouillée et pour permettre l'encliquetage du support dans l'alvéole. La double fonction donnée à l'élément de rappel permet d'optimiser la structure du pêne et de la simplifier.In certain embodiments, the bolt comprises return means configured to recall the bolt from the unlocked position to the locked position. This is particularly advantageous for ensuring the security of the support in the event of a failure of the drive mechanism or for limiting the cooperation of the cam and the bolt, if necessary, and avoiding premature wear of the bolt. The return means may be able to cooperate with the cell. The return means may in particular comprise a spring, in particular of the leaf spring type. According to one embodiment, the bolt comprises a return element configured both to recall the bolt from the unlocked position to the locked position and to allow the latching of the support in the cell. The double function given to the return element makes it possible to optimize the structure of the bolt and to simplify it.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le mécanisme d'entraînement comprend des moyens de détection d'une position déverrouillée du pêne. Le mécanisme d'entraînement peut comprendre des moyens de temporisation configurés pour maintenir le pêne dans une position déverrouillée pendant une durée prédéterminée, à partir du moment où les moyens de détection détectent la position déverrouillée du pêne.In certain embodiments, the drive mechanism comprises means for detecting an unlocked position of the bolt. The drive mechanism may include timing means configured to maintain the bolt in an unlocked position for a predetermined period of time, as soon as the detection means detect the unlocked position of the bolt.
Les moyens de détection et/ou les moyens de temporisation permettent de faciliter l'extraction du support de l'alvéole, respectivement en indiquant et/ou en prolongeant la durée pendant laquelle le pêne est en position déverrouillée.The detection means and / or the timing means make it possible to facilitate the extraction of the support from the cell, respectively by indicating and / or by extending the duration during which the bolt is in the unlocked position.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le support comprend une partie de verrouillage configurée pour coopérer avec le pêne lorsque le pêne est en position verrouillée. Les parties de verrouillage du support et du pêne peuvent être respectivement mâle ou femelle.In certain embodiments, the support comprises a locking part configured to cooperate with the bolt when the bolt is in the locked position. The locking parts of the support and the bolt can be respectively male or female.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le mécanisme d'entraînement est configuré pour recevoir une autorisation de déverrouillage et, à réception de ladite autorisation, entraîner le pêne de la position verrouillée à la position déverrouillée. L'autorisation de déverrouillage peut être transmise par signal filaire ou sans fil, en particulier par infrarouge et/ou au moyen d'une télécommande.In certain embodiments, the drive mechanism is configured to receive an unlocking authorization and, on receipt of said authorization, drive the bolt from the locked position to the unlocked position. The unlocking authorization can be transmitted by wired or wireless signal, in particular by infrared and / or by means of a remote control.
Dans certains modes de réalisation, le support est configuré pour recevoir une montre, notamment une montre-bracelet.In certain embodiments, the support is configured to receive a watch, in particular a wristwatch.

Un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif de présentation d'objets va maintenant être détaillé en référence aux
La
Dans le présent mode de réalisation, la base 20 est en forme générale de plaque. La base 20 comprend une pluralité d'alvéoles 22, dont seulement deux ont été représentées sur la
Dans le présent mode de réalisation, le dispositif 10 comprend une pluralité de pênes 40, dont seulement deux ont été représentés sur la
Ainsi, le dispositif 10 comprend une pluralité d'ensembles alvéoles-pênes, chaque ensemble alvéole-pêne comprenant lui-même une alvéole 22 et un pêne 40. Par la suite, on décrira un seul de ces ensembles alvéole-pêne. Comme indiqué précédemment, chaque pêne 40 est associé à une seule alvéole 22.Thus, the
Le pêne 40 est disposé sur une surface arrière de la base 20. Dans le présent exposé, la direction avant-arrière correspond à la direction de présentation des objets, l'avant étant du côté du consommateur. Ainsi, le pêne 40 est disposé du côté de la base 20 qui n'est normalement pas accessible aux consommateurs.The
Le support 30, qui n'est représenté que partiellement sur la
En outre, le support 30 comporte une zone 39 de positionnement d'une mention indicatrice, telle que le prix ou la référence du produit porté par le support.In addition, the
Par ailleurs, comme il ressort des

La
Le passage du pêne 40 de la position verrouillée représentée sur la
Comme illustré sur la
La géométrie du pêne 40 va être décrite plus particulièrement en référence à la
Le pêne 40 comprend un évidement central correspondant au moins, à l'exception les parties assurant le verrouillage (ici les lames 44), à la forme de l'alvéole 22, que le pêne 40 soit en position verrouillée ou déverrouillée. Ainsi, comme on peut le voir sur les deux positions représentées sur la
Le pêne 40 comprend un cadre externe 43, au moins une lame 44 et un cadre interne 45. Ici, le cadre externe 43, la lame 44 et le cadre interne 45 sont réunis, à leur extrémité proximale, au niveau d'une partie 46.The
Le cadre externe 43 définit la forme externe du pêne 40 et assure sa cohésion en une pièce unique. Le cadre externe 43 assure le maintien et le centrage du pêne 40 sur l'alvéole 22, en particulier par coopération avec des protubérances 26 à la périphérie de l'alvéole 22.The
Le cadre interne 45 définit la forme interne du pêne 40, lorsqu'elle diffère de celle définie par le cadre externe 43. Le cadre interne 45 assure le maintien et le centrage du pêne 40 sur l'alvéole 22, en particulier par coopération avec des protubérances 24 à la périphérie de l'alvéole 22.The
Les protubérances 24 et 26 sont séparées l'une de l'autre de manière à former une fenêtre. Une partie du pêne 40, ici l'extrémité distale de la lame 44, traverse ladite fenêtre.The
La lame 44 est située entre le cadre externe 43 et le cadre interne 45. En outre, comme il ressort de la
La protubérance 24 comprend une surface inclinée 24a. Par ailleurs, la lame 44 comprend, ici à son extrémité distale, une surface inclinée 44a. Comme on peut le voir en comparant les positions verrouillées (gauche) et déverrouillée (droite) sur la
Dans la mesure où la lame 44 est en flexion lorsque le pêne 40 est en position déverrouillée, des efforts s'exercent entre la surface inclinée 24a de la protubérance 24 et la surface inclinée 44a de la lame 44. Si le pêne 40 n'est pas maintenu en position déverrouillée, ces efforts tendent à ramener le pêne 40 dans la position verrouillée. Ainsi, la lame 44 forme des moyens de rappel configurés pour rappeler le pêne 40 de la position déverrouillée à la position verrouillée. Par suite, le passage de la position déverrouillée à la position verrouillée peut se faire simplement grâce à cette force de rappel, sans utilisation d'un mécanisme d'entraînement.Insofar as the
Comme indiqué précédemment, chaque pêne 40 est actionné par un mécanisme d'entraînement 50 distinct, en particulier pour le passage de la position verrouillée à la position déverrouillée.As indicated above, each
Dans ce mode de réalisation, pour son entraînement, le pêne 40 comprend au moins une surface de came 41. En outre, le pêne 40 comprend au moins une butée 42. Ici, le pêne 40 comprend deux surfaces de came 41 et deux butées 42. Ceci rend le pêne 40 symétrique et facilite sa fabrication. Cependant, une seule surface de came et une seule butée seront décrites par la suite. Les formes de la surface de came 41 et de la butée 42 sont configurées pour coopérer avec la came 52. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la came 52 présente une forme générale en b minuscule, ou en virgule, ayant une partie en projection excentrée 52a et une partie ronde 52b.In this embodiment, for its drive, the
En position verrouillée (partie gauche sur la
Lorsque la came 52 continue son tour à partir de la position déverrouillée, la partie en projection excentrée 52a glisse le long de la butée 42 jusqu'à perdre le contact avec ladite butée. La partie ronde 52b étant suffisamment éloignée du pêne 40, il n'y a alors plus de contact entre la came 52 et le pêne 40, et ce au moins jusqu'à ce que la came 52 revienne dans sa position de départ (à gauche sur la
Par ailleurs, le mécanisme d'entraînement 50 comprend des moyens de détection d'une position déverrouillée du pêne 40. Ces moyens de détection prennent ici la forme d'un interrupteur 54. L'interrupteur 54 est solidaire de la base 20 (en l'espèce, en étant porté par le mécanisme d'entrainement 50, lui-même fixé à la base) de manière à pouvoir coopérer avec une partie d'appui 47 du pêne 40. Comme illustré sur les parties gauche et droite de la
Le mécanisme d'entraînement 50 va maintenant être détaillé en référence à la
Le mécanisme d'entraînement 50 comprend, outre la came 52 et l'interrupteur 54 déjà présentés, un moteur 56 et un circuit électronique de commande 58. La
Le moteur 56 peut être de type connu en soi et ne sera pas décrit ici. Le moteur 56 entraîne en rotation la came 52. Le circuit électronique de commande 58 commande le moteur 56. Par exemple, le mécanisme d'entraînement 50 peut être configuré, par l'intermédiaire du circuit électronique de commande 58, pour recevoir une autorisation de déverrouillage et, à réception de ladite autorisation, activer le moteur 56 de façon à entraîner le pêne 40 de la position verrouillée à la position déverrouillée. A cet effet, le circuit électronique de commande 58 peut comprendre un récepteur filaire ou sans-fil, par exemple de type infrarouge, pour recevoir l'autorisation de déverrouillage.The
Par ailleurs, le circuit électronique de commande 58 peut être configuré, comme indiqué ci-dessus, pour prendre en compte une position du pêne 40 détectée par l'interrupteur 54.Furthermore, the
Un exemple d'utilisation du dispositif 10 va maintenant être décrit. Le pêne 40 est au départ dans sa position verrouillée. Le mécanisme d'entraînement 50 reçoit, par l'intermédiaire du circuit électronique de commande 58, une autorisation de déverrouillage, par exemple via un signal envoyé par la télécommande infrarouge d'un vendeur. A réception de cette autorisation, le circuit électronique de commande 58 active le moteur 56 qui entraîne en rotation la came 52. La came 52 entraîne elle-même le pêne 40 en rotation à partir de la position verrouillée.An example of use of the
Le pêne 40 peut tourner jusqu'à ce que sa partie d'appui 47 active l'interrupteur 54. Le pêne 40 est alors en position déverrouillée. L'activation de l'interrupteur 54 est détectée par le circuit électronique de commande 58, qui stoppe la rotation du moteur 56 pour une durée prédéterminée, par exemple quelques secondes. Pendant cette durée, le vendeur peut retirer le support 30 de l'alvéole 22. A la fin de cette durée, que le support 30 ait été replacé ou non dans l'alvéole 22, le circuit électronique de commande 58 déclenche à nouveau la rotation du moteur 56. Le moteur 56 entraîne en rotation la came 52 qui perd son contact avec le pêne 40. Le pêne 40 revient donc en position verrouillée comme expliqué précédemment, tandis que la came 52 poursuit son tour. Le moteur 56 peut être arrêté lorsque la came 52 est revenue dans sa position d'origine. Le fait de limiter le temps pendant lequel le pêne 40 est en position déverrouillée et les lames 44 sont en flexion évite l'usure prématurée des lames 44 et, en particulier de leurs bras d'attache 44' qui leur confèrent un effet ressort.The
La
Pour s'adapter aux bracelets ou bracelets de montres de différents diamètres, le support 30 comporte un appui arrière 36, connecté au corps principal 32 par une vis 37. Une bague filetée 38 permet d'engager plus ou moins la vis 37 dans le corps principal 32, de façon à rapprocher ou éloigner l'appui arrière 36 du corps principal 32. De cette façon, lorsqu'un bracelet ou une montre-bracelet est positionné autour du support, par exemple avec le cadran de montre reposant sur la face avant 31 du corps principal 32, la bague 38 peut être tournée de sorte que le bracelet soit en tension autour du corps principal 32 et de l'appui arrière 36.To adapt to watch straps or bracelets of different diameters, the
Par ailleurs, comme indiqué précédemment, le pêne 40 est configuré de façon à permettre, en position verrouillée, l'insertion du support 30 dans l'alvéole 22. Comme on l'a vu, dans le présent mode de réalisation, le pêne 40 n'est rappelé en position verrouillée que par la flexion des lames 44. Si un utilisateur tente d'insérer un support 30 dans l'alvéole 22 dans cette position, ce support se heurtera donc aux lames 44. Toutefois, les lames 44 et/ou le support 30 peuvent être configurés de sorte que l'insertion du support 30 dans l'alvéole 22 écarte les lames 44.Furthermore, as indicated above, the
Pour ce faire, dans le présent mode de réalisation, la collerette arrière 35 comporte des ergots 35a biseautés. Les lames 44 peuvent comprendre, à leur extrémité distale, une surface chanfreinée correspondante pour faciliter l'action des ergots 35a. Ainsi, lorsque le support 30 est inséré dans l'alvéole alors que le pêne 40 est en position verrouillée, la force longitudinale, dans la direction avant-arrière, exercée par le support 30 se traduit, grâce aux ergots 35a, en des efforts transversaux exercés sur les lames 44, ce qui les écarte. Une fois que la collerette arrière 35 est entièrement passée derrière les lames 44, la force de rappel des lames 44 ramène le pêne 40 en position verrouillée, les lames 44 s'engageant alors dans la fente de verrouillage 34. Dans cet état, le support 30 ne peut plus être retiré sans déverrouillage du pêne. Ainsi, la configuration du pêne 40 et du support 30 peut former un mécanisme d'encliquetage.To do this, in the present embodiment, the
Le support 30 porte des languettes de positionnement 30' qui contribuent au bon positionnement du support dans une alvéole 22. En effet, ces languettes viennent en appui contre les bords de l'alvéole. Ceci permet d'éviter, en particulier au moment où le pêne est déverrouillé, que le support n'ait tendance à basculer dans l'alvéole sous son propre poids et celui du produit qu'il porte, en particulier une montre. En l'espèce, les languettes 30' sont réalisées sur au moins l'une des joues 30A du support (de préférence sur les deux joues 30A et 30B) et font élastiquement saillie vers l'extérieur de la joue qui les porte. Les languettes élastiques peuvent coopérer avec les bords de l'alvéole par encliquetage et, à cet effet, elles peuvent porter un téton 30'A ou équivalent en saillie.The
Le pêne 40 peut être réalisé dans tout matériau convenant à sa fonction, par exemple en matière plastique ou en résine, par exemple en matériau de type Altuchoc® ou de type POM (pour Polyoxymethylene). Chacun des autres composants peut aussi être formé de ces matériaux. Le pêne 40 ainsi que la base 20 peuvent être obtenus par découpe de plaques, ce qui simplifie grandement leur fabrication et diminue leurs coûts d'obtention.The
On a présenté un mode de réalisation du support 30 configuré pour recevoir des bracelets ou des montres-bracelets. Cependant, le support 30 peut être modifié pour recevoir tout type d'objet à présenter, sans que le principe de sa coopération avec l'alvéole 22 et le pêne 40 ne change.We have presented an embodiment of the
