Explanation of an embodiment

The arrangement of the panel set and its movement was clearly described in the patent document principal. This document describes the system of unlinking of the panel with respect to the drive belt. Also the application of the exhibition system and its way of application for use in shop window, exhibition, fair, and use manual, automatic, etc. The movement of the machine has place using the motor that moves one of the pulleys 6, which moves to turn the belt 4 which has a device 10 at a point of its length. Said device 10 has mutual linking means. with a connection 7 to the panel. These means are formed by a housing in the device 10 which has a tapered shape, so that in a part of its center, preferably at the bottom, It has a hole in the shape of a circular cap, coinciding with a moving ball 19 pressed by a spring 18 so that the pressure of said spring determines a temporary connection of the linked joint 7 to the panel, with the device 10. Thus, a little effort greater than necessary to overcome inertia at startup or stop, release the belt movement panel. Bliss release can be both accidental, in case a child small insert a hand in the guide, for example, as voluntary, when there is a power outage electric In the latter case it is possible to move the panel by a small effort that releases the union of the ball with the device 10.

The reverse operation, that is, the binding uptake by device 10 occurs preferably at the end of the route, notwithstanding that it can happen at a different point through a sufficient resistance exerted manually for example.

It also has supports and stops 8, 13 and 9, 14 on both parts of the device 10, which facilitate the cushioning of the possible blow that the panel may give on the end of its path. Also these stops come off the body 10 remaining at the ends, so that once the body 10 for union 7, reintegrate with this meeting stop function attached to the body 10 in its electrical operation, and butt attached to the ends of the path when a manual operation

This exhibitor, as explained, has a set of rails, each of them being a panel guide of exhibition of ceramic pieces. Each of said panels It includes the possibility of being arranged in any position. The different positions you acquire are compatible with different selections

An example of the above may be that the First panel remain still. The second and subsequent adopt a fan position. It is represented in figure 5. The exhibitor in This case allows to show all the exposed models. The selection allows in a time of about 10 seconds, reach the distribution chosen

One option available is the function Showcase, which shows according to all preset criteria, some, or certain panels in time series that may vary according to a preset selection. It is represented in the figure 8. This system prevents the storefront from closing for a change of models, because it is possible to stop only the panels that are going to change, as fans of a number can also be displayed selected from panels according to figure 6 by criteria chosen by the interested. Automatic cycles can comprise the full extension of each panel and return to the position of origin, showing an active and attractive panel set for the interested consumer view. This is represented according to the figure 8.

It is also possible following the example previous, that the exhibitor shows some of the models according to selection criteria pre-set or fixed by selection direct. That is, if you look for a range of ocher colors, they appear only ocher colors as well as any other allows selection criteria. Those who are not selected are left hidden behind the panel that occupies the first place. It is represents an example in figure 6, in which only one of the panels are exposed, while the others remain hidden. Figure 7 also has a similar form of presentation, allowing for pre-selection, irregular distribution, in groups or uniform of the chosen panels.

In the previous case, one half can be distributed of the panels in the entire available space. Alternatively, the other half can be exposed. You can also be made by selectively eligible groups according to a menu preset, or by arbitrary or capricious selection.

Showcase use function may have access to be used by the public outside the establishment, according to figure 9, generating a great attraction for the public, and allowing the visit to the establishment in Any day and any time. So, in a showcase 20 you can arrange the display as shown in 21, so that through a claim by voice or by light signals or flashing, with no limit as to how to call the attention, allows the user to request that acting on a sensor, preferably arranged inside the glass of separation, you can get different distributions. Said sensor 22 It allows the selection of preset or capricious positions.

The sensor 22 can be, for example in case of be located in a shopping center, an external keypad. However, it is preferred that it is an internal sensor that acts when available one finger above the corresponding function, for sensitivity electronics. It is possible to have an information display in the own sensor, with a price indication menu, of features or other information. Thus the public participates and is interested in the exposure mode, in selecting panels, in eliminate the ones you discard because they are not appropriate to your tastes or by place where the object is to be located, and also as a consequence in making commercial activity simpler, because the interested party Choose for yourself the product you want.

The action of the sensor 22 or the keypad corresponding, can be transmitted to the panel by means of a signal radio frequency coded, by a cable or by Any other type of communication.

Obviously, this system is not limited exclusively - even if preferred - to ceramic panels, and it is Extensive to any product that may be exposed sequentially, or selectively

The exhibition is possible in fourth parts, of so that a quarter of the panels are distributed in space, selectively, or successively. An example is in Figure 6. Also in any of the indicated cases, you can completely remove each of the panels for a while according to figure 8; After this, it is removed and extended the next, successively with the others. This function allows that are extracted one by one, two by two, three by three, and successively according to this rule. In any case, each of the distributions does not take more than 10 seconds.

It is also possible to deliberately hide one or More than one of the panels. In this case, once its use has been canceled, the exhibitor works with the remaining panels. In case it is request fan layout will divide the total space by number of panels available. The function of recovering vision of the remaining panel, determines the integration of this in the set of the panels that are exposed.

It is common for a selection to reject models less consistent with the taste of the interested party. So, therefore, during the selection, you can delete each of those that do not interest This can be done both in the exhibition proper inside the establishment, as in the external exposure operable by sensor 22. The set It has a function by which it distributes the space in all panels. Once one of the panels has been removed, the space will be evenly distributed among the remaining panels according to the fan distribution of figure 5.

The set of this exhibitor also allows selective exposure or cadential exposure, for example by arrangement of color ranges, application to floors, to coatings, in their form, if rustic, if smooth, if glossy, yes rectified, etc., automatically.

Both automatic and manual exposure allows the assignment of different times to each of the panels. Thus, when one of the panels is removed, it can previously set an exposure time, after which It is hidden. In this case, the following may appear and, where appropriate, the successive ones, or that the exhibitor is at rest. Set exhibitor has functions for single exposure, as well as for shared exhibition with groups of models according to the selection of the Own interested.

It is also possible to arrange after space through which the panels slide, a fixed panel, susceptible to contain institutional identifications of the company, such as generic, characteristic, or product information, mode of placement or any recommendations, photographs, etc.

The activity using a remote control allows immediate selection of any of the selections previously designed, or any other that is applied on the spot. This function has great relevance, because in the activity commercial, loss of contact with the customer, if the seller Dedicate to extend and hide panels manually, it makes it difficult to Business operation continuity.

And in this way it is possible to obtain functions customized, so that by selecting some panels concrete, the exhibition is carried out, in an automated way, or either with extraction and with timed introduction of each panel or panel group, or by waiting for single extraction of a new instruction so that each panel returns to its place.

One of the advantages of this exhibitor is the function "boardroom" or showroom. In these places, there is usually a house employee who following instructions of the commercial or manager, move the panels that this Last tells you. The downside is that said person is present in a conversation that can be secret; from elsewhere, its absence leads to the manager or seller, to show a different panel must move to the place and move it manually, which has two effects; a first, of breaking a favorable business climate, and a second, by which the customer by deference to the seller, does not ask to be shown any product it can be inconvenient for the seller who must move back to the panel to move it manually, with the effect of limiting purchases for insecurity in the buyer to Not being able to verify exactly all the features.

The great advantage of this panel lies, then, in the immediacy of the execution and the versatility of the preselection of the models to be displayed. An example of this is that in a panel of 1.66 meters scrollable about two meters, the distribution of the panels, exact and proportional to the available space, has place between 6 and 11 seconds, time before the curiosity of the interested party, which determines a greater interest in the product shown.

The whole of the exhibitor is likely to be arranged in a showcase for actuation by selection from the public The arrangement of the exhibitor is also preferred in a hall, fair, establishment, trade or anyone destined to The offer for product selection.

It is susceptible of industrial application, in the manufacture of exhibitors, especially ceramic panels.
