The invention relates to a device for facilitating decoration in shop windows or other similar exhibition or demonstration spaces.

The products presented with the device are hung on thin lines or the like on brochures.

In practice, the shop window's decoration is usually decorated in such a way that a person skilled in the art, the decorator, places the products and decorations intended for the exhibitions, as well as any other objects, in the desired position. In order to bring vibrancy and interest to the window, it is necessary to use certain aids to create a three-dimensional decoration. Most commonly, a thin, transparent line, needles and nails are attached to which said lines are attached. Lines are used to support products, such as textiles, so that they are as attractive and natural as possible.

Ordinary shop windows are not specifically designed for this type of decoration. Because of this, decorating is usually a relatively tricky operation. In practice, this is done in such a way that the decorator cuts the required number of lengths of line lengths from the line roll. He then ascends the ladder and strikes the ceiling of the decorative nail 2 66756, if possible.

Very often it is not possible to attach the nail to the ceiling. In this case, the line has to be tied to any temporary support that is available. The most common mounting locations are fluorescent lamp shields, other frames, electrical cables, plumbing tubes, and spotlight busbars just to name a few. The principle in practice is: attach to where you get.

At the lower ends of the lines, the decorator places the product on samples with the help of decorative needles. In this connection, each line is finally adjusted to a suitable length and the excess line is cut off.

Undoubtedly, the biggest drawback of the current decoration practice is poor occupational safety. Namely, you often have to reach very high by standing on a ladder and using both hands to hit a nail or tie lines. In cramped spaces, it is often already impossible to place a ladder firmly. This disadvantage can, of course, be remedied to some extent by the use of auxiliary labor, but this, of course, results in a reduction in work efficiency per unit of working time used.

In addition, current embellishment methods waste consumables such as fishing line, nails and needles. In addition, it should be noted that due to the difficulty of the work, decoration is not carried out, especially in difficult places.

The device according to the invention provides a decisive improvement in the above-mentioned drawbacks. To achieve this, the device according to the invention is characterized by what is set forth in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The most important advantage of the invention is that the use of ladders is reduced and becomes decisively safer. Now the decorator can use his other hand to support himself as he climbs the ladder. The use of tools can be virtually abandoned altogether. This is also a significant factor in increasing safety. In addition, consumables are no longer wasted.

In the following, the invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Figure 1 schematically shows the Sample Window.

Figure 2 shows a side view of a device according to the invention.

Figure 1 schematically shows a sample window 1 in which a few products 2, 3, 4 are displayed. The products are supported in place on thin, transparent lines 5, 6, 7. Lines 5, 6, 7 belong as part of the devices according to the invention, which are indicated in Figure 1 by reference numerals 8a, 8b, 8c. Each device according to the invention is attached to a slide rail 9. The slide rail, in turn, is fixedly mounted on the ceiling above the display window.

Figure 2 shows on a larger scale a preferred embodiment 20 of the invention. The device according to the invention comprises a body 21. The body, in turn, is provided with means which enable its adjustable attachment. In this example, the fastening means consist of a slide rail 29 and a guide 22 cooperating with it. The guide and the rail are made with such an interlocking arrangement that the device can be easily moved on the rail 29. The device can be locked in the desired position on the rail by turning the eccentrically mounted locking lever 23.

Four identical line rolls 24, 25, 26 and 27 are mounted on the body 21. Of these, only the rollers 24 and 25 are shown in Fig. 2 with the other rollers located at corresponding points on the other side of the device. Each spool is provided with a return spring 28 which is tuned when the line 30 is pulled out of the spool 24 (30 ', respectively). A ring 31 is attached to the end of the line 30 ′ ′ to facilitate handling. Each reel is also equipped with a ratchet device that retains the drawn line to the desired length. This is especially helpful in the decoration setting phase, where each product can be adjusted to the desired position. Once the final arrangement has been achieved, each of the line rolls can be locked independently with a latch 33 (respectively 33 '). This is how the decoration is finished. If for some reason the decoration is to be changed or adjusted, it is easy to open the latches 33 and lock each line again in the desired position. The entire product can also be moved in the window by releasing the locking latch 23 and moving the entire device with the products hanging therein to the desired position.

Correspondingly, when it is desired to disassemble the decoration, the products are removed from the lines. Each line reel is released, rewinding the line. The result is a completely neat iklcuna, which can be immediately re-decorated by moving the devices according to the invention to the desired location.

In particular, it should be noted that the device according to the invention can also be fixedly mounted on both the ceiling and the wall. Of the various adjustable mounting methods, it is also worth mentioning the use of an articulated arm, in which case the device according to the invention can be moved with respect to three axes. Otherwise, it should be noted that the invention has been described above with reference to only one preferred embodiment thereof. However, this is in no way intended to limit the invention to this example only, but many modifications are possible within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the following claims.
