Description

Self-supporting advertising device.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a device self-advertising, which presents notable relevant characteristics and technical advantages over others devices that are currently used for the same purpose and which can be considered of its kind.

It is an object of the invention to present a support device of folding tubular structure, whose lateral surface bears the desired advertising, being In addition easy to assemble to provide its characteristic of automontable and that acquires stable form and position.

Description of the invention

In general, the advertising device self-setting, object of the invention, is constituted by a laminar surface of cardboard or similar, stamped and provided with a series of fold lines and cuts to get your armed or assembly, and disassembly or disassembly in the condition of "creased".

In a simple embodiment, when the object to be formed is small, you can build the device that concerns us, from a die cut sheet in general rectangular and equipped with two transverse fold lines They divide it into three equal portions. Depending on the dimensions, it can also have another fold line longitudinal center, or more than one to be folded in half, third part, etc. It can also be built by portions independent that join with glue or glue applied to some tabs provided for this purpose, all depending on the dimensions of the object and being advantageous especially when dimensions are larger to save material.

One of the extreme portions folds over the central and the other one falls on it, sticking with adhesive the free edge of the enveloping portion, on the outer edge of the portion that now occupies the intermediate position. Advertising is printed on both sides of this folded set.

The middle portion of this folded set, or one of the extremes of the development of the sheet, has some die cut surfaces and tabs that help the deployed, adopting a transverse position for get the assembly to have a tubular arrangement, of tapered cross section because the ends correspond to the marked fold lines, and stay that way so you can place it vertically supported by one of its bases, the lower one to the motive advertising

These die cut surfaces are located in proximity to the bases of said tubular shape of the device advertising

When the advertising object or device is shape with different pieces and also possible manufacturing in any size, folding elliptical die cut forms in separate independent portions that are placed and pasted on the Selected areas of the other pieces, as we will see next.

The external faces are formed by joining consecutively two or more (usually two) servings rectangular until the desired length is completed, provided of conventional V-tabs for adhesive bonding or tail.

These rectangular portions also have two longitudinal eyelashes on one of its edges and present also a central and longitudinal fold line, for folding end to form a folded or "crushed" tubular.

On the other hand, the independent portions provided with the elliptical die cut, they are also rectangular, with an amplitude equivalent to half of the previous ones, since they must occupy an intermediate position after folding along the line longitudinal average, thus being arranged as the soul of the sandwich formed. The height of these independent portions or pieces is corresponds to the minor axis of the elliptical shape of the die cut, increased in what the tongue occupies and little else.

With this provision, once the rectangular portions with each other, to form the total development of the sheet, as we will see later more clearly in relation to the drawings, the flanges of the edge are folded, turning 180 ° and glue to the interior pieces arranged between them and the adjacent rectangular portions. Below is a point from tail to the back of the extreme and free portions of said tongues in prolongation of the elliptical punches, and let them return to place to stick to the portion respective rectangular. Then, the set is folded along the line longitudinal longitudinal to form the sandwich, sticking the edge of the longitudinal flange By supporting this folded tubular shape, by one of its edges, on a surface and press on the edge opposite, the stable tubular shape is automatically adopted desired. When placed vertically supported by the mouth bottom, will show the reason and / or advertising message.

The advertising motif may be printed on the front and back of the backsheet, with the previous and also counting this with the advertising reason wanted. The cut front sheet will have its upper edge more low and can follow the advertising motive or present the form allegorical with him. You can also offer this previous face another u other central cuts where it can be complemented with some accessory such as forming a shelf or support area for an object, etc.

The device can also be complemented advertising once mounted, with another independent sheet that partially introduced by the upper mouth and set support or cap by means of two dihedral cuts made in the introduced part of its edges, thus protruding superiorly and being the carrier of the complementary advertising message.

The quality of automontable is achieved with the structure presented by this device, since, starting from its folded position just press on the edges longitudinal of the device arranged in a laminar form and stretched, so that it acquires tubular configuration, jumping elastically the die cut surfaces and acquiring these a stable transverse arrangement that maintains the rigidity of the set and to the device ready to fulfill its function advertising

To disassemble or fold it, it is pulled or push down slightly from the edge of the die cut surface, where it has been practiced a recess for this purpose, the whole adopting a provision rectangular laminar The size is reduced in length, by provide for at least one transverse fold line in its middle zone, as we indicated above.

To facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention and forming an integral part of this Descriptive report, accompanying some sheets of plans in whose figures, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature represented the following:

Description of the preferred embodiment

Referring to the numbering adopted in Figures 1 to 4 and especially to Figure 1, we can see how the self-supporting advertising device, which the invention proposes, is form from the die-cut sheet generally referenced with the number (1), of cardboard or similar, of rectangular contour and provided with two parallel and directional fold lines that we will call longitudinal, referenced with (2) and (3) and that the Divide into three equal portions (4), (5) and (6).

Portion (6) has practiced two die cuts open at its extreme edges, which give rise to the formation of two die-cut surfaces (7), generally elliptical contour, joined to the rest only by the two arched lines (8) and (9) of its contour and which are collateral to the longitudinal tongue (10) central and stamped in correspondence with the semi-minor axis of the elliptical shape of the surface (7) and which also affects an external extension of said semi-axis. This tab (10) is attached only by its inner end, defined by the fold line (11) located on the major axis of said elliptical shape (7).

The tabs (10) are divided into three portions separated by the fold lines (12) and (13).

Reference (14) designates clipping semicircular that exists at the edge of the die cut surfaces (7), and reference (15) indicates the elliptical but pole trimming tapered, located in the central area of the extreme portion (6) in this example of realized shown in the figures, being coinciding with the middle fold line (16) arranged longitudinally in the sheet (1) in order to be able to bend the device in half (in this embodiment). For make this possible as we will see later, advantageously and if if necessary due to the thickness of the material used, the line of fold (16) is double in the area corresponding to the portion (4) of the die cut sheet (1) and is referenced with the number (17).

Making special reference now to Figure 2,  we see in it three phases of the assembly or construction of the advertising device that concerns us. In position a) that substantially coincides with figure 1 as it is the development of the sheet (1), we observe a first phase for forming, which it consists of applying the two glue points (18) in the area center of the intermediate portion (5) of the sheet (1), or in the back of the tongue itself (10), so that the end sticks free or cantilever of it, as marked schematically the arrows. This gluing operation is carried out when folding 180º the extreme portion (6) over the intermediate portion (5), as shown in position b) of this figure 2.

Finally, glue is applied to the band right or extreme edge of the portion (6), referenced with (19), to fix the portion (4) of the sheet (1) when folding it on the (6), acquiring the final form of position c).

The faces seen of this folded sheet (1), are usually those that include the advertising motive. To occupy less space and always depending on the dimensions of the advertising device, it will be folded in half this set, by the double fold line (17) that facilitates folding since three thicknesses meet in the bending. To facilitate this operation there is the tapered elliptical trim (15) in the portion (6) of the sheet (1) that is in the intermediate position and that is the piece  Main device

Well, starting from position c), at exert manual approach pressure on the edges longitudinal of the same, in the direction marked by the arrows in figure 3, the tubular shape is automatically achieved stable recommended so that the advertising device can adopt the stable vertical position supported by its mouth lower, on a horizontal surface.

Indeed, at the beginning of the tubular form, the tongue (10), for having its end stuck in the portion (5) of the die cut sheet (1), strip die cut surface (7) and the raises angularly by turning on the hinge or line of hinged (8) and (9), then jumping elastically until reaching the transverse position that gives rise to the stable conformation of the tubular device This is because the bending lines and hinged (8) and (9) are not in a straight line, adopting a forced position that contributes to the stability of the whole, and by the special contour presented by die-cut surfaces (7).

To fold the device just pull of these die cut surfaces (7) to knock them down, or close them, work that is facilitated when introducing a finger through the notch (14), first in one mouth and then in the other.

In the embodiment shown in the Figures 5 to 9, to build the advertising device is split in this case, two pieces or sheets (19) and (20) that are joined gluing the upper part (19) on the flaps (21) of the piece lower (20). These sheets (19) and (20) have a line of central fold (22) and a side flange (23).

The portions of foil where the elliptical die cut (7) are formed in the independent pieces (24), placing them in convenient places as shown by the figure 6 and leaving its left edge stuck under the tab lateral (23), once turned 180 ° and having applied a line of glue or glue.

In the next phase of construction (figure 7), the free portions (25) or ends of the tongues are lifted (10), giving them the glue point (18) at the back, letting them return to their place to get stuck.

Finally, glue is given to the outside of the side tab (23) and another drop of glue in the four points (26) collateral to the tabs (10), just before turning the right half, referenced with (27), of the sheets (19) and (20) that They are already in solidarity, thus forming the folded tubular. This surface (27) and the other remaining half (28) form the tubular creased.

The points (26) are materialized by small  circular extensions punched in the sheet (24), which at get stuck in corresponding points of the right portion (27), help to facilitate tubular formation of the device. The tubular shape is achieved by resting on a surface normally horizontal, although it could be, vertical or inclined, and press down to get the oval shape of the section, as schematically shown in figure 9.

In this way the quality of "self-adjusting" and folding tubular structure, without specifying of additional complementary elements (rubbers, etc.) that complicate the functionality and make the product more expensive, as it happens in Other current constructions.

Depending on the dimensions of the device, it is logical to think that a single sheet could be used to occupy an area equivalent to parts (19) and (20), with a single lateral flange (23), or use more than two pieces. Also, any other bonding system of a surface with another, the basic characteristic being the presence of the independent pieces (24) with which the Die-cut elliptical portions (7) of self-assembly.

As we said before in relation to Figures 1 to 4, the set can be folded in half (or in more  parts) to occupy less space.

Interior portions or independent pieces (24), they advantageously have the same orientation, contrary to what is represented in figure 1 in which they take turns opposites, since sometimes the surface weight itself elliptical die cut (7) collaborates in tubular assembly when exercising arming pressure with the folded device arranged vertically

To fold the device again you have to fold down the two die-cut portions (7), for which there are clippings (14) that facilitate manual traction, although in the form of embodiment shown in figures 5 to 8, to start the lowering of the lower portion (7) is necessary to exert pressure axial in the area where the trim is located because the direction of spin is favorable, its existence not being useful.
