Definitions

  • the invention relates to a presentation frame according to the preamble of claim 1 for the frame-like presentation of image material in the form of pictures, posters, billboards or the like.
  • Presentation frames as mentioned above usually comprising a central panel held in a frame and groove-like receiving means arranged on at least two sides of the central panel for holding at least two edges of the image material arranged parallel to the surface of the central panel.
  • the groove-like receiving means are formed by at least two insertion grooves which are provided in mutually opposite profile strips of the frame and are designed in such a way that the image material can be inserted into the frame parallel to the central panel with edge areas engaging in the holding groove against a stop in an insertion direction.
  • Presentation frames of this nature are generally known as illuminated billboards.
  • the well-known billboards usually have a rigid frame, whereby the image material, for example in the form of posters, can be arranged behind a glass surface or protected against the weather by a plastic coating.
  • the frame In the case of a known design of the billboards used in particular in connection with advertising in cities or at bus shelters of local public transport, the frame is designed in such a way that part of the frame is designed to be hinged with the protective glass surface so that the image material in the form of the poster can be placed behind the glass panel.
  • this design has the disadvantage that it must allow the comparatively heavy glass panel to be pivoted, which in turn requires complex mechanics and high actuating forces or other aids, such as gas pressure springs.
  • Not extensive constructed embodiments of presentation frames are used for short periods of time as advertising displays and have circumferential profiles with hinged cover strips. These embodiments are usually create for the use in connection with posters that are protected against environmental influences and damage with their own protective layer, for example a plastic cover known from EP 2 843 648 B1 .
  • the drawback of these designs is on the one hand that they are less suitable for heavier frame designs and on the other hand that they are difficult to use for a permanent attachment of the image material with a stable protective layer.
  • all four frame strips must be opened against the force of a leaf spring, which is suitable for picture frames and lighter advertising displays, but leads to complicated operation for larger and heavier designs.
  • this object is achieved by a presentation frame comprising profile strips, whereby the front ends of the receiving groove, as seen in the direction of insertion, alternatively the receiving grooves are laterally accessible and at least one of the lateral profile strips is open for inserting the image material or the receiving grooves can be blocked by a covering means which can be detachably connected to the profile strips and can be exposed by removing the covering means so that the insertion of the image material into the holding groove is then possible.
  • the embodiment of the presentation frame according to the invention now allows a particularly simple insertion and exchange of the image material. Since the insertion area of the grooves for holding the edges of image material is already open due to the design of the lateral trips or can be exposed by opening the frame sideways the image material can simply be inserted into the side of the presentation frame. If the covering material is connected to the profile strips by magnetic holding force or in some other way by force-locking the insertion area can be simply opened. Additionally the presentation frame can be assembled from only a few principle components.
  • a preferred embodiment of the presentation frame essentially consists of a central panel and four frame parts, whereby an upper frame part is formed by an upper cross-frame strip and a lower frame part by a lower cross-frame strip.
  • the two cross-frame strips can be favorably adjustable aluminum profiles or profiles made of another light metal, which can be produced inexpensively in the required length as cut-to-length yard ware.
  • the cross-frame strips are preferably connected to each other via lateral cover profiles to form a closed frame in which the central panel is clamped or held. This can be done by means of receiving grooves in the cross frame strips.
  • the essential function of the cover profiles is limited to securing the image material and the retaining wall against slipping out of the frame and to connecting the cross-frame strips to each other.
  • the central panel is designed as a luminous panel so that the image material can be illuminated from behind with light.
  • the connection of the cross-frame strips to each other can also be effected by additional elements, so that the cover profiles do not have to take over this function. These additional elements can also be used to secure the retaining wall against lateral displacement.
  • the invention covers several aspects which can be used independently of each other.
  • One is the easy insertion of the image material into the presentation frame. This is done by means of an easily accessible insertion opening, in particular the described removal of the lateral profile strip, or alternatively by means of an insertion opening which is permanently passable.
  • the latter can be realized, for example, by means of a profile strip with corresponding slots running from bottom to top.
  • a further aspect is the inclusion of the image material in an image carrier.
  • This can preferably be designed in such a way that the image is held on the image carrier or, depending on the design, in the image carrier and can be inserted into the presentation frame together with it.
  • an image carrier usually flat foil or plate material is used as an image carrier.
  • this material has two, three or four image holders to which the image material can be attached. These can be clamps, either attached to the image carrier as separate clamps or integrated into the image carrier.
  • a bent, slot-like recess can be made in the material of the image carrier, resulting in a bendable tab which can be easily bored out to fix the image material, so that the image material can be pushed under the tab. After the flap springs back, the image material is then firmly clamped.
  • an additional cover layer can be applied to the image material.
  • This additional covering layer can also be formed by a foil or a transparent plate material.
  • the image carrier is double-walled, so that the image carrier consists of two foil or plate sections, which are connected to each other along one edge, folded by 180°. In this way, a pocket is created in which the image material can be inserted.
  • additional clamping devices or other fastenings can be provided to fix the image material in the pocket.
  • Figure 1 depicts a presentation frame in three-dimensional representation according to the invention.
  • the presentation frame has a central panel as backward or central supporting wall, which in this case is designed as light panel 1.
  • a frame is provided around this light panel 1, which is formed by an upper cross-frame strip 2, a lower cross-frame strip 3 and a cover profile 6 for the side cover 4 in the rear area, which is not visible here, and a cover profile 7 for a side retaining cover 5 in the front area, which is also not visible here.
  • FIG. 2 Details of the frame structure are shown in Figure 2 , in which the presentation frame according to the invention is shown in an exploded view.
  • the image material 11 can be inserted into the presentation frame in insertion direction R, here from the right side.
  • the upper cross-frame strip 2 as well as the lower cross-frame strip 3 is formed by profiles, which here are aluminum profiles. These aluminum profiles have a retaining groove 3 in the middle area for the supporting wall designed as a light panel 1.
  • Figure 5 shows the aluminum profiles of the cross frame strips 2, 3 in a side view. It can be seen here that in addition to the central retaining groove A3 for holding the edge of the light panel 1, a first retainer A1 is provided on the left-hand side for image material to be shown on one front side of the presentation frame and a further retainer groove 2 is provided on the opposite side for a rear image material.
  • the aluminum profile has a mounting area 9 for a magnet 8 which is not visible here.
  • the holding groove A1 is parallel in front of the front surface of the light panel 1.
  • the additional holding groove A2 which can be provided as an option, is located behind the light panel 1.
  • the side area at the back shown in Figure 2 serves as a stop for movement of the image material to be inserted from front to back.
  • the lateral cover here designed as a flat lateral cover plate 4 as an example, is provided, which in the example shown is screwed to the rear end faces of the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3 respectively via two upper and two lower screws.
  • the lateral cover plate 4 is large enough to cover the entire profile in the area of the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3, as shown in Figure 5 . This means that the two holding grooves A1 and A2 as well as the holding groove A3 are covered by the lateral cover plate 4.
  • the cover profile 6 can be positioned on the mounted end cover 4 as an optical finish. In the example shown, it extends over the entire area of the side end cover 4 and, seen from the front or rear, creates the same optical impression as the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3.
  • the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3 are connected to each other via a narrower component, namely the lateral retaining cover 5.
  • This lateral retaining cover 5 has an end element at the top and bottom that extends over the entire cross-section of the area of the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3.
  • end elements The function of the end elements is best illustrated in Figure 3 . It can be seen here that the end elements are screwed to the aluminum profile of the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3 using two screws. The holder for the thread of the screws can be seen in the middle section of the cross-sectional view in Figure 5 .
  • Figure 3 also shows the magnet 8 for holding the lateral cover profile 7 for the lateral retaining panel 5.
  • the magnet 8 is in a receptacle 9 (compare figure 5 ) inserted and penetrates the head or foot area of the lateral retaining cover 5.
  • a receptacle 9 (compare figure 5 ) inserted and penetrates the head or foot area of the lateral retaining cover 5.
  • the material of the lateral retaining cover 5 is magnetic, it can also be positioned behind the then closed end areas of the lateral retaining cover 5.
  • the lateral retaining cover 5 can be formed in one piece from a metal strip or, as shown here, by rectangular end pieces attached to a metal longitudinal strip.
  • Essential for the function of the lateral retaining cover 5 and thus for the implementation of the present invention is the fact that, in contrast to the lateral cover plate 4, the lateral retaining cover 5 is so narrow in the area between the head area and the foot area that it does not extend into the plane which passes through the holding groove A1 arranged in the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3.
  • the lateral retaining cover 5 is so narrow in the area between the head area and the foot area that it does not extend into the plane which passes through the holding groove A1 arranged in the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3.
  • the insertion area for the image material 11 remains freely accessible both in front of the illuminous panel 1 and behind it if the lateral cover by the cover profile 7 is not mounted. This free access makes it possible (if necessary after dismantling the cover profile 7) to insert the flat, two-dimensional image material 11 into the holding groove A1 or the holding groove A2. Additionally due to the central area of the lateral retaining cover 5 the illuminous panel 1 is hold in the frame and the frame itself is completely closed even when the image material is freely accessible for insertion.
  • the cover profile 7 can be easily removed.
  • additional security measures can be provided, for example in the form of a fixing screw in the upper and lower end areas of the cover profiles 6, 7 for connection with the lateral cover plate 4 and the lateral retaining cover 5.
  • the cover profiles 6,7 can also be screwed to the upper cross-frame strip 2 or the lower cross-frame strip 3.
  • Figure 4 shows the example of cover profile 7 for the lateral retaining panel 5 and the corresponding hole in the end section.
  • a magnet 8 is provided in both the upper area and the lower area in order to hold the cover profile 7 for covering the lateral retaining panel 5 completely by magnetic forces. This allows the presentation frame to be opened and reloaded by pulling it sideways.
  • An alternative embodiment can be characterized by snap-in connections.
  • the cover profile 7 and/or alternatively the cover profile 6 on the opposite side can be clipped onto an area of the frame or onto the illuminous panel 1 by latching.
  • the image material can be inserted laterally into the frame, which can be opened in a particularly simple manner for this purpose.
  • a cover pane or a protective pane made of transparent plastic is to be provided in addition, the upper cross-frame strip 2 and the lower cross-frame strip 3 may have additional holding grooves on the outwardly directed side, so that the protective pane can be pushed in front of this image material in an equivalent manner to the image material.
  • the image material 11 and protective pane can also be inserted into a common holding groove, then the holding groove A1 or the holding groove A2. Ultimately, this will depend on the size and nature of the materials used and the customer's requirements.
  • the example of the invention described above uses the shown illuminous panel 1 as a supporting center panel, which can be made of transparent or translucent plastic and preferably be designed as a hollow chamber plate with internal light elements. These light elements are preferably light diodes, but all other suitable light sources, in particular fluorescent tubes or flat light elements filled with fluorescent material, can also be used.
  • the power supply can be provided by an external connection or an integrated accumulator.
  • Figure 6 shows a partial view of a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the presentation frame shown here also has a frame body with profile strips, whereby a lower (here not visible) cross frame strip 3 and an upper cross frame strip 2 each represent the cross connection.
  • the upper cross frame strip 2 and the lower cross frame strip 3 are connected with each other by a profile strip as a horizontal longitudinal profile.
  • the profile strip which is best seen in Figure 7 , comprises longitudinal slots for inserting the image material 11, which are not closed even when the presentation frame is in use.
  • detachable covers can also be used here, which can either be attached magnetically or with a latch.
  • Simple plastic covers, similar to an elongated plug, are also possible.
  • the image material 11 is fixed on the image carrier 12.
  • the image carrier 12 has image holders 13 as a means of attachment.
  • these are simple, curved and continuous slots punched into the elastic material of the plate-like image carrier 12. This result in flap-like clamping areas which can be bent open by bending the image carrier 12 or pressing out the areas bounded by the slots so that the image material 11 can be pushed underneath this area while it is held. Subsequently, when the image carrier 12 is released, the area springs back again so that the image holder 13 firmly grips the edge of the image material 11.
  • the image holders 13 can be used to fix the image material 11 in the presentation frame during the insertion. However, they can also be used to fix the image material 11 in the plate-like field of the image carrier 12. For this reason, additional image holders 13 can be provided at different places, especially in the area inside the image carrier 12. In this case, the function of the image holder 13 essentially corresponds to the function of a photo corner.
  • Figure 7 shows the lateral profile strip, which is formed here by the cover profile 7.
  • the cover profile 7 is not used here to cover the contents on the one hand, but is essentially the complete profile strip.
  • the two functions can also be divided into two separate profiles, as described above.
  • the presentation frame shown in Figure 6 has suspension means 16, which can be used to hang the presentation frame on a separate stand, on a cable system or on the ceiling of a room.
  • Figure 9 again shows a slightly different design of the image carrier 12.
  • the image carrier 12 is designed in two layers, whereby a front image carrier 15 can be folded or placed on a rear part. As shown here, the two parts can be joined together around a lower edge or around another edge, whereby here the connection can take the form of a film hinge or other elastic joint. So the image carrier 12 has an area forming a receiving pocket 14 for inserting the image material 11.
  • the front image carrier 15 has the image holders 13, which are also here formed by curved slots.
  • the image carrier 11 can also be inserted with the view side facing the paper plane, so that the part of the image carrier 12 shown here at the back is then arranged at the front after being inserted into the presentation frame.
  • the plate-like parts shown here can also be separate components that are merely placed on top of each other or other fasteners can be connected to each other after being placed on top of each other, including the image material 11.
  • the image carrier 12 described here can also be used in connection with the design according to Figures 1 to 5 or independently of the presentation frame according to the invention.
  • the material of the parts of the presentation frame is relevant for the invention only to the extent that the selected mounting options are technically feasible. This means that when using magnets, the necessary magnetizability of the material which is to adhere to the magnet must of course be given. Furthermore, the material can be used as a material made of plastic, for example to save weight.
  • the presentation frame according to the invention can be used in connection with the display of posters, images, other signs or even flat displays.
  • the size of the presentation frame is not limited, typical application possibilities are the classic image frames, for example in forms similar to the DIN formats A4, A3, A2 or A1 or presentation frames in the size of small or larger advertising posters. Exemplary sizes for such advertising posters are for example 1m x 2m or 2m x 4m.
  • the image material itself can be covered with plastic for protection or it can also be inserted into a pocket-like, transparent carrier body as a cover, especially if no protective screen in front of the image material should be provided.
  • the invention was shown exclusively on the basis of a flat presentation frame.
  • two presentation frames can also be connected with each other via an upper joint and have 3 feet at the lower cross frame bar, so that they can be set up in the manner of a known advertising display.
  • Additional optical elements can be arranged between the image material and the light panel 1 to diffuse or widen the light path.
  • this can be a foil in which small lenses are embossed so that the light of the light-emitting diodes of light panel 1 is homogenized.
