Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a holder for a display element, the holder comprising a base part with an end face, at least one wall element which protrudes from the end face, and at least one frame element which adjoins the at least one wall element and at least partially thereof with at least one projecting Part protrudes, the holder further comprises at least one gap which is formed by the end face of the base part, the at least one wall element and the at least one projecting part and in which the display element is inserted to transfer the display element in a holding position, in which the display element held in the holder.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a holder according to the invention.

STATE OF THE ART

To display a wide variety of information concerning an object, usually at least one display element, for example in the form of a sheet of paper, a card or a sign, is used. This display element should be arranged or held in the vicinity of the object. A typical one Example of use would be information concerning a product offered for sale, such as its composition and / or its price. Since this information, eg the price of the goods or the goods themselves, can change over and over again, it is important to be able to update the corresponding information in a simple manner, for example by replacing obsolete display elements with updated display elements.

For this purpose, holders for display elements are known from the prior art, which have a base body and a frame, so that the respective display element, preferably a sheet of paper or a card, can be slid into a gap between the base body and the frame. The display element is held in the holder substantially by gravity. Accordingly, the possibilities for the arrangement of these brackets are limited, since the gap may be substantially open only upwards, otherwise there is a risk that the display element simply falls out of the gap.

Furthermore, known brackets are very complicated, constructed of several parts, typically at least the base body and the frame are separate parts of the holder. Moreover, a further separate part can be provided, with which the holder can be attached to a carrier, wherein the carrier is used for mounting on a preferably plate-shaped object, in particular for mounting on a shelf. Overall, this results in an extremely cumbersome procedure comprising a relatively complicated assembly of the individual parts, in order to ultimately obtain a support fixed to the carrier, in which the display element can be held.

Finally, the production of many separate parts requires an increased production cost, which with accordingly high production costs and costs for the customer is connected. The document WO97 / 50069A is considered to be the closest prior art.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide a holder for a display element, which avoids the disadvantages described above. In particular, a secure holding of the display element in the holder according to the invention is to be ensured with any orientation of the holder. In addition, the holder should be simple in construction and inexpensive to produce.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

The essence of the present invention is to provide a retaining element which ensures that the display element is held securely in this regardless of the orientation of the holder. Only when the retaining element is deliberately brought from a locked position to a release position, the display element can be inserted into the holder or removed therefrom. Therefore, in the case of a holder for a display element, the holder comprising a base part with an end face, at least one wall element projecting from the end side, and at least one frame element adjoining the at least one wall element and at least partially thereof with at least one projecting one Part protrudes, the holder further comprising at least one gap, which is formed by the end face of the base part, the at least one wall element and the at least one protruding part and in which the display element from a fourth side of a circumferential line of the front side is inserted to the display element in a Transfer hold position in which the display element is held in the holder, according to the invention provided that at least one retaining element is provided which is connected to the at least one wall element and / or the at least one frame member and between a locking position and a release position reciprocally movable wherein in the release position a parallel to the fourth side of the circumferential line of the end face extending opening between the base part and the at least one retaining element is formed, through which the display element in at least a portion of the at least one gap and out of the at least a portion of the at least one gap is slidable to be guided into or out of the holding position, and wherein in the locking position, the at least one retaining element at least partially fills the opening to block a sliding of the display element through the opening and d the retaining element extends along the fourth side between two opposite portions of the projecting part of the frame member and connects these sections together.

Thus, the end face of the base part, the at least one wall element, and the at least one projecting part of the frame element define the gap in which the display element can be inserted via the opening. In this case, the opening runs along the fourth side of the peripheral line of the front side, while the at least one wall element along a first side normal to the fourth side, a parallel to the fourth side extending second side, and along one of the first side opposite third side of the circumferential line Front side runs.

At least in the region of the first and third sides of the peripheral line of the front side, the frame element in each case encloses the observer of the display element in an operating position the bracket facing end portion of the wall element to the wall element and projects with its at least one projecting part in a normal standing on the wall element direction of the wall element. Thus, there are at least two opposing portions of the projecting part of the frame member, one of which is arranged parallel to the first side and the other parallel to the second side of the peripheral line of the end side.

This arrangement already ensures that the inserted over the opening in the gap and transferred to the holding position display element against slipping out of the gap in those three directions that are normal to the running along the first, second and third side wall element is secured. Optionally, however, it may be provided without impairing the general public that the frame element also adjoins the wall element in the area of the second side of the peripheral line of the end face in an end section of the wall element facing the viewer of the display element in the operating position of the holder and with its at least one protruding part protrudes from the wall element in a direction normal to the wall element.

In order to prevent even slipping out of the display element from the gap over the opening, extending along the fourth side of the peripheral line of the end face and the opposite portions of the projecting part of the frame member connecting retaining element can be brought from its release position to the locked position in which Locking position it blocks slipping out of the display element through the opening.

This means that the opening is or is defined by the release position. With regard to the blocking position or the blocking is to be noted that the retaining element in the locked position can only be arranged as far in the opening or fill the opening only to the extent that the display element is at least partially between the retaining element and base member, but clamped between the retaining element and the base part is what counteracts pushing. Finally, it should be noted that the retaining element can also be part of the at least one frame element or the at least one wall element, whereby the connection between the retaining element and the frame element or wall element can be realized.

The display element may be a sheet, preferably made of paper or metal. That the display element may also be a card or a stiff sheet of paper or a sign. Information is visibly attached to the display element for the user, e.g. printed, which may be in particular numbers, letters and / or other symbols. Preferably, the display element is inserted with an edge region in the gap.

In order to automatically ensure that the retaining element is always always in the locked position, if this is not explicitly desired by the user, it is provided in a preferred embodiment of the holder according to the invention that the retaining element is elastic and biased to automatically from the release position to switch to the locked position. In particular, the retaining element automatically changes from the release to the blocking position when neither the display element nor any other object is in the opening, and thus closes the opening at least in sections.

Preferably, the retaining element is designed so that the user this when removing and inserting the display element can push with the display element itself from the locked position to the release position.

As already mentioned above, the retaining element may also be designed such that it clamps the display element located between the retaining element and the base part without the intervention of the user to the extent that the display element does not come to rest on its own, ie. not only by the mere action of gravity, can move on. The user can overcome this resistance to push the display element back and forth in the holding position and in the direction from the holding position.

In order to prevent an inadvertent slipping of the display element through the opening, it is provided in a preferred embodiment of the inventive holder, that at least one contact piece of the at least one retaining element is provided which protrudes from the at least one retaining element and in the locking position, the base part, preferably contacted the front side.

WAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 shows an axonometric view of a holder 1 according to the invention for a display element, in particular for a rectangular sheet 27 (see. Fig. 9 ), preferably of paper. The holder 1 comprises a base part 2 with a substantially rectangular front side 3. Along the three sides of the end face 3 extends in the illustrated embodiment, a continuous wall element 4, on which in turn a frame member 5 is arranged with a protruding part 6.

The projecting part 6 is particularly in Fig. 6 can be seen, a section along the section line BB in Fig. 2 shows (the arrows indicate the direction of view), where in Fig. 2 a front view of the holder 1 is shown. As a result, a continuous gap 7 is formed, which runs along three sides 13a, 13b, 13c of the end face 3 or from its peripheral line and is delimited by the end face 3, the wall element 4 and the projecting part 6. In this case, the gap 7 in a third direction 26, which is normal in the illustrated embodiment on the end face 3, a gap depth 29. Furthermore, the third direction 26, a second direction 23 and a first direction 22 mutually normal to each other. The gap depth 29 defines a maximum thickness of the sheet 27, which still allows insertion into the gap 7. In the illustrated embodiment, the end face 3 is substantially planar - But it would also be a curved end 3 conceivable, especially seen with a curvature in the second direction 23. Preferably, then the gap 7 would be bent or arched accordingly designed.

The sheet 27 can basically be pushed into the gap 7 from the fourth side 13d. In order to prevent the sheet 27 from accidentally falling out of the gap 7, a retaining element 8 is provided. This extends along the fourth side of the end face 3 between two opposite projecting parts 6 of the frame element 5, so that the sheet 27 must be pushed between the retaining element 8 and the end face 3 in order to be inserted into the gap 7, cf. Fig. 9 ,

The retaining element 8 is movable between a locking position 10 and a release position 9 back and forth. In the release position 9, an opening 11 is formed between the retaining element 8 and the end face 3 and the base part 2, which is large enough that the sheet 27 can be inserted through the opening 11 in the gap. In the blocking position 10, however, the retaining element 8 fills the opening 11 at least in sections so far that the opening 11 for the sheet 27 is basically blocked. That when the sheet 27 is held in the holder 1 and the retaining element 8 is in the blocking position 10, the sheet 27 can not pass the opening 11 by itself, that is essentially under the sole effect of gravity. This allows the secure hold of the sheet 27 even with an assembly of the holder 1, in which the opening 11 faces downward, so that the opening 11 is not visible to a user looking from above on the holder 1.

By the retaining element 8 is designed to be elastic, the retaining element 8 can be biased so that it automatically from the release position 9 in the locking position 10th replaced. In this case, the retaining element 8 can be designed so that the user can push the sheet 27 against resistance through the opening 11, wherein the retaining element 8 is urged from the blocking position 10 in the release position 9.

By the entire holder 1 is made in one piece from plastic, an elastic retaining element 8 can be realized easily. In addition, the holder 1 can be produced by injection molding, which enables extremely cost-effective production.

In Fig. 3 which is a section along the section line AA in Fig. 2 shows (the arrows indicate the direction of view), the retaining element 8 in the blocking position 10 can be seen. In the illustrated embodiment, the retaining element 8 has a protruding contact piece 12, which in the detail view of Fig. 4 is particularly well recognizable. With the contact piece 12, the retaining element 8 contacts the base part 2 or the front side 3 in the blocking position 10, thus ensuring a particularly secure hold of the blade 27. The lateral sectional view of FIG Fig. 7 clarifies this again.

Fig. 10 in turn, the retaining element 8 in the release position 9. In this case, the contact piece 12 is arranged away from the end face 3 and releases the opening 11. That is, in the blocking position 10, the retaining element 8 fills the opening 11 at least with the contact piece 12.

Of course, embodiments without contact piece 12 of the retaining element 8 are possible. For example, a contact piece, which projects from the base part 2 and which contacts the retaining element 8 in the blocking position 10, would also be conceivable (not shown). Fig. 5 again shows a variant entirely without contact pieces. In this case, the retaining element 8 is bent in the blocking position 10 in the direction of the end face 3, so that the Retaining element 8 can contact the base part 2 or its end face 3 in the blocking position 10 with a central region of the retaining element 8. The side sectional view of Fig. 8 (analogous to Fig. 7 ) illustrates this.

It should be noted, however, that it is not absolutely necessary for the blocking effect that the retaining element 8 actually contacts the base part 2 in the blocking position 10. Depending on the thickness or thickness of the sheets 27 used, it may also be sufficient that the retaining element 8 in the blocking position 10, the opening 11 fills so far that for the sheet 27 is not enough space available - even without it to a contact between Retaining element 8 and base part 2 comes.

In the release position 9, however, the opening 11 must in any case be released so far that the sheet 27 can be easily pushed through the opening 11. A corresponding release position 9 for the embodiment of Fig. 5 is in Fig. 11 shown.

The frame member 5 has an end face 18, which is arranged substantially parallel to the end face 3 of the base part 2 and on which in principle additional information, such as a logo, attached, in particular can be printed. However, the application or imprinting of such information on the end face 18 due to their small dimensions associated with some effort.

In order to facilitate the attachment of additional information or logos, in a further embodiment of the holder 1 according to the invention a printing section 19 of the end face 18 of the frame member 5 is provided, which is an enlarged portion of the frame member 5 and the end face 18, see. Fig. 12 , For this purpose, the Imprinting section 19 has a width 20 measured in the first direction 22 and a height 21 measured in a second direction 23, the height 21 being greater than a height 25 of a section of the frame element 5 which, viewed in the first direction 22, directly adjoins the imprinting section 19 connects. The width 20 is also significantly greater than a width 24 of portions of the frame member 5, the longitudinal extent of which extends along the second direction 23. The dimensions mentioned are in the front view of Fig. 13 clearly visible.

Fig. 14 shows a further embodiment of the holder 1 according to the invention, which has a dividing element 16. This serves to be able to optically clearly separate a plurality of regions of a sheet 27 inserted into the holder 1 without having to apply extra markings to the respective sheet 27. In the embodiment shown, the dividing element 16 extends parallel to the second side 13b and fourth side 13d of the end face 3, between two opposite projecting parts 6 of the frame member 5 and connects these parts. 6

In this case, the dividing element 16 extends at a distance 17 parallel to the end face 3, so that the sheet 27 can be easily pushed between the dividing element 16 and the end face 3 therethrough. Here, the distance 17 is measured parallel to the third direction 26 and is preferably at least as large as the gap depth 29th

Fig. 15 shows a further embodiment of the holder 1 according to the invention, in which a substantially rectangular opening 14 in the base part 2 is provided. The opening 14 serves to receive a price module 28, which correspondingly has a section whose shape corresponds to the shape of the opening 14, that is also the same has a rectangular perimeter or a rectangular outline. The price module 28 further has a stop 15, which facilitates the insertion of the price module 28 in the opening 14. By the price module 28, preferably along the third direction 26 is inserted from the back 30 of the base part 2 to the stop 15 in the opening 14, it is ensured that one end face of the price module 28 is substantially flush with the end face 18 of the frame member 5. The price modules 28 are per se known price modules 28, which allow the display of characters, in particular numbers, wherein the displayed characters can be changed at any time purely mechanically.

To the holder 1 as flexible as possible, ie in different positions, on a support 39 (see, eg Fig. 19 ), the holder 1 has ribs 31 which are arranged substantially perpendicularly projecting from a rear side 30 of the base part 2 opposite the front side 3. The ribs 31 have on the rear side 30 a substantially rectangular base area with a width 60 measured in the first direction 22 and a height 61 measured in the second direction 23. Viewed both in the first direction 22 and in the second direction 23, ribs 31 are arranged one behind the other. That is, in the first direction 22, rib rows 34 result from ribs 31 arranged one behind the other. In the second direction 23, rib gaps 33 result from ribs 31 arranged one behind the other, as in FIG Fig. 17 , which shows a view of the back 30, is clearly visible.

Gaps 32 or recesses of the holder 1 result between the ribs 31, gaps 32 being arranged one after the other due to the arrangement of the ribs 31 in rib rows 34 and rib gaps 33, as seen both in the first direction 22 and in the second direction 23. wherein each two successive gaps 32 in the respective direction 22, 23 are separated by a rib 31.

In the embodiments shown, the ribs 31 have a longitudinal extent along the first direction 22, wherein a gap width 36 results within the rib lines 34 which is substantially the same size as a gap height 35 within the rib gaps 33, cf. Fig. 16 , This gap width 36 or gap height 35 and a gap depth 37 measured in the third direction 26 are dimensioned such that a first fastening section 42 or a second fastening section 43 of the carrier 39 can be received in a gap 32.

As in the side view of Fig. 19 can be seen, for this purpose, the mounting portions 42, 43 have a mounting portion 45, which is less than the gap height 35 and the gap width 36. Furthermore, the mounting portions 42, 43 have a mounting portion depth 46 which substantially corresponds to the gap depth 37 or slightly lower as the gap depth is 37. The holder 1 can thus be releasably secured to the carrier 39 by the holder 1 is simply attached to the carrier 39 parallel to the third direction 26, wherein the mounting portions 42, 43 of the carrier 39 are received in the gaps 32. Respectively. For example, the attachment portions 42, 43 are engaged with the ribs 31, more specifically with sides of the ribs 31, as shown in FIG Fig. 19 is apparent. A connecting web 48 connecting the two fastening sections 42, 43 acts as a stop in the third direction 26.

How out Fig. 19 As can be seen, the fastening sections 42, 43 have a minimum distance 47 from one another in a region of sides 63, 64 facing away from the carrier 39. When mounted bracket 1, this minimum distance 47 corresponds to a gap spacing 38 'of typically 9.7 mm. there the gap spacing 38 'results as a distance between two sides pointing in opposite directions of at least one rib 31, ie the gap spacing 38' is equal to a rib side spacing of these rib sides.

Preferably, the carrier 39 is elastically deformable and designed so that the distance 47 is slightly lower when not attached bracket 1, typically 9.4 mm. If the carrier 39 is clamped on a shelf 59, this distance 47 reduces even a little, if no holder 1 is attached. The resulting difference in the values of the distance 47 when the holder 1 is plugged in and not plugged in is so small that pushing on the holder 1 on the one hand without any problems, i. with only relatively little effort, is possible, but on the other hand, a secure hold of the holder 1 on the support 39 is given solely by its elasticity or tension.

In order to increase the clamping force by a certain bias of the mounting portions 42, 43, the mounting portions 42, 43 are preferably not parallel, but arranged facing each other.

In each fin gap 33 there are a plurality of gaps 32. Two successive gaps 32 in the second direction 23 have a distance 38 from each other which is less than the distance 38 '. Specifically, the distance 38 'is substantially exactly three times as large as the distance 38. As a result, there are a large number of possible positions of the holder 1 on the carrier 39, which are displaced parallel to one another along the second direction 23.

In each case two gaps 32 are present in the rib rows 34, which have the spacing 38 'from each other, ie along the first direction 22. That is, the holder 1 can also be rotated by 90 ° on the carrier 39 are attached or are a total of four, each rotated by 90 ° to each other orientations of the holder 1 on the support 39 possible.

Fig. 18 shows an axonometric view of a mount 1 mounted on the carrier 39, wherein the carrier 39 is mounted on the shelf 59. The holder 1 is oriented so that the first direction 22 extends parallel to the surface of the shelf 59. In order to allow in the illustrated orientation of the holder 1 a rich concern of the holder 1 on the shelf 59, rib stops 62 are provided. These are arranged at the beginning of the first rib 31 of each fin row 34 and at the end of the last rib 31 of each rib row 34 and are spaced from the ribs 31 in the third direction 26. The holder 1 is pushed onto the carrier 39 such that the connecting web 48 is arranged between the rib stops 62 of a rib line 34. The holder 1 can then be slid so far in the direction 26 on the support 39 and the mounting portions 42, 43, until the rib stops 62 are present on the shelf 59. By the shelf 59 contacting the rib stops 62 in direction 22 are substantially more spaced apart than the attachment portion width 44 is a richer, more stable concern of the holder 1 on the shelf 59 is achieved as it would be the case, if only the connecting web 48 on the shelf 59th on the one hand and on the ribs 31 on the other hand would rest and the ribs 31 would not contact the shelf 59 directly.

In the axonometric view of the Fig. 21 a bracket 1 mounted on the support 39 is shown, which is opposite to in FIG Fig. 18 assembly shown rotated by 90 °, high-edge orientation. Since the two gaps 32 per rib row 34 are not arranged exactly in the center, but in the first direction 22, somewhat offset from the center of the rib row 34 (cf. Fig. 17 ), results in a rotated by 180 ° mounting a high-edge positioning of the bracket 1 on the support 39, the in Fig. 21 shown position in the first direction 22 is shifted in parallel. It should be noted that the rib stops 62 and the ribs 31 in the upright orientations of the holder 1 do not touch the shelf 59. Instead, only the connecting web 48 on the shelf 59 - and also on the ribs 31 - at.

Fig. 22 finally shows a to Fig. 21 Corresponding side view, analogous to Fig. 19 , In this case, the carrier 39 is clamped on the shelf 59. For this purpose, the carrier 39 has a first clamping arm 40 and a second clamping arm 41. By sliding the support 39 onto the shelf 59, in particular the second clamping arm 41 is elastically deformed, whereby the carrier 39 is releasably fixed to the shelf by clamping. Preferably, the carrier 39 is integrally made of an elastic material, particularly preferably made of stainless steel.

In the exemplary embodiments shown, the first fastening section 42 directly adjoins the first clamping arm 40 and the second fastening section 43 directly adjoins the second clamping arm 41.

The holder 1 and the carrier 39 form a display system which can be used for displaying information, preferably concerning goods, which are arranged on the shelf 59, particularly preferably for price labeling.
