DESCRIPTION

SUPPORT FOR ELECTRONIC TABLE LABELS Technical sector

The traditional paper labels that showed the price and characteristics of a product are being replaced in many cases by the so-called electronic labels that optimize the labeling system and ensure savings in time and costs.

The electronic labels allow the incorporation and automatic and remote updating of the prices / characteristics of the products that are exhibited in a trade or in an establishment in general.

The present invention focuses on that sector of the art and more specifically on an electronic label holder that is specially designed for an arrangement of the so-called desktop of these labels, that is to say an arrangement in which the label holder is arranged on a countertop, shelf or even the appliance itself, whose characteristics the label shows.

State of the art

For the provision of the support of an electronic label on a countertop of a piece of furniture, on a shelf or directly on an apparatus, in what is identified as a tabletop arrangement, the use of supports is already known, but the known embodiments up to date does not in themselves combine adequate security and versatility conditions, both in relation to the assembly of the electronic label on its support, and in the provision of the latter in its place of application.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is a support for these electronic labels and more specifically a support specially designed for use in a desktop arrangement resting on the countertop of a piece of furniture, shelf or any surface; or

either directly on the device to which the label must be identified.

This support has a general body of general laminar constitution and plastic nature, which configures a dihedral angle defined by two semi-planes or faces with a common edge.

Of these two faces, one of them is intended to occupy a horizontal arrangement, in contact with the surface of the corresponding point of application; so that it will be called base face.

The corresponding electronic label will be mounted on the other side, so it will be identified as a support face.

On this support face, the general support body itself defines projections for the lower support of the electronic tag that is arranged between these projections and an upper visor, provided with teeth for the elastic clipping of the electronic tag fixing.

In addition, and on the sides of this support face, two flaps are defined which laterally attach to the electronic label.

Also on this support face some pins are defined, for the optional assembly of a laminar label that complements the information provided by the electronic label.

On the base face there may be means for immovable fixing of the support on the corresponding countertop.

With all this is achieved so that a support of very simple construction, with a general body mono piece of plastic nature is achieved:

.- A simple and secure fixing of the corresponding electronic label.

.- A secure fixation of the support on the corresponding countertop or application point.

.- A support that allows the optional complementary assembly of a laminar label of

Detailed description of the invention

The object of the present invention is a support (1), for electronic labels (2), whose purpose is to be able to arrange an electronic label (2) on a countertop, shelf or directly supported on the application product, in which It is known as a desktop layout.

As can be seen in figures 1 to 4, the support (1) is constituted by a general body with a mono-piece laminar structure and a constitution made of synthetic material, such as a plastic that forms a dihedral angle defined by two semi-planes or faces with a common edge.

Of these two faces, one of them, identified with the numerical reference (1.2), is intended to occupy a horizontal arrangement in contact with the corresponding countertop or application product; so that it will be called base face (1.2).

The other side, identified with the numerical reference (1.1) will be mounted on the corresponding electronic label (2), so it will be identified as a support face (1.1).

As can be seen in figures 1 to 4, on the support face (1.1), two projections (3) are preferably determined for the lower support of the electronic label (2). There could be at least one projection (3), which, in that case, would occupy a centered position. An upper visor (5) is also determined on the support face (5), in relation to which there are teeth (4) that retain the electronic tag (2) by elastic clipping.

Between the lower projections (3) and the upper visor (5) there are, in the middle area, some projecting bevels (12), for support on them of the central area of the label (2).

Also and on the sides of this support face (1.1) the general support body itself (1) defines two flaps (7) between which the electronic label (2) is housed and held laterally.

Figure 7 shows how the assembly of an electronic label (2) is carried out on the support face (1.1) of the support (1). For this, the lower part of the label (2) is supported on the projections (3) and tilted, until the elastic clipping of the upper part of the label (2) occurs in the upper teeth (4), thus leaving the label (2) housed between the side flaps (7) and firmly retained in its assembly, as shown in Figure 8. Figures 9 and 10 show the electronic label already mounted on the support face (1.1 ) of the support (1).

In figure 2 and also in figures 5 and 6, it can be seen how on the support face (1.1) of the support (1) it also defines pins, identified with the numerical reference (6). Preferably, the pins (6) are in number of four and are arranged according to two pairs, in which each pair is positioned to act in relation to the square edges of a laminar label. The mission of these pins (6) is to allow the optional assembly of a traditional laminar label that is identified with the numerical reference (13) in figures 11 and 12. The optional label (13) allows to offer complementary information to that of the electronic label itself (2) based on texts, images and / or pictograms.

As can be seen in figures 1,2 and 3 on the base face (1.2), retention means that ensure the locking and fixing of the support (1) can go to the corresponding installation point formed by a countertop, shelf or own device. According to an example of practical non-limiting embodiment, these retention means are composed of a threaded rod with an actuating element (10) at one end, such as a handle. This rod, at its other end, is threaded into a nut (11), inserted under pressure in a moyú (8) defined by a return of the base face itself (1.2).

The existence of a washer (9) is planned to protect the environment of the hole through which said rod passes.

These retention means can be constituted by solutions such as a sheet or sheets with double-sided adhesive. In the event that the application point is metallic and of a magnetic nature, the base face (1.2) could take a sheet adhesive on one of its faces to said base face (1.2) and which on its other side is a magnet to be fixed by magnetism on the point of application. Logically, it would not alter the essence of the invention if other conventional retention means were used, such as suction cups or

Similary.

Moreover, it is provided that the base face (1.2) is completely smooth and without retention means, as can be seen in Figures 13 and 14, so that it simply rests on the surface of the countertop, shelf or apparatus where it is desired to have the corresponding electronic label (2).
