Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for information presentation, in particular for hotel lobbies, or the like. Device characterised in that it consists essentially of a frame 1 for supporting a town plan 2 equipped with a lower structure 3 exhibiting boxes 4, of sites 5 for receiving tickets or reduced copies of notices provided above the boxes 4, and of switches 6 provided beside each site 5 and intended to turn on corresponding indicator lamps 7 on the plan 2.

Description

 The present invention relates to the field of equipment for hotel halls, stations, terminals, or the like, and relates to an information presentation device intended for this purpose.

 There are currently various devices for presenting information, such as advertising media, city or district maps, and the like, which are often combined to form a single panel.

 City maps can be fitted, in some cases, with light indicators which can be activated by means of buttons corresponding to tourist sites or streets. However, the geographical location of advertisers renting advertising media is generally not indicated on these plans. In addition, if an advertisement interests a potential client, the latter must copy all the contact details on the medium.

 The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

 It has, in fact, for its object an information presentation device, in particular for hotel halls, or the like, characterized in that it is essentially constituted by a support frame for a city map provided an infrastructure presenting boxes, by locations for receiving labels or reduced copies of signs provided above the boxes, and by switches provided next to each location and intended to activate the lighting of corresponding indicators on the plan.

 The invention will be better understood thanks to the description below, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawing, the single figure of which is a view in perspective of a device according to the invention.

 The information presentation device, in particular for hotel halls, or the like, shown in the appended drawing, essentially consists of a frame 1 for supporting a city map 2 provided with an infrastructure 3, in which are provided with boxes 4.

Above these boxes 4 are provided locations 5 for the reception of labels or copies of signs on a reduced scale, and next to each location 5 is disposed a switch 6 allowing to light a corresponding indicator 7 arranged on plan 2.

 The latter is advantageously placed under a plate of glass or transparent rigid synthetic material, and an arrow 8 or a permanent light point indicates the situation of the device with respect to plane 2.

 The boxes 4 provided in the infrastructure 3 are intended for the reception of advertising leaflets or business cards for businesses, or the like, the names or signs and addresses of the users of boxes 4 being reproduced on the corresponding locations 5.

 Each box 4 - location 5 and switch 6 assembly is combined with an indicator light 7, which is arranged under the plane 2 or integrated into it, at the address indicated in the locations 5 and on the advertising cards or leaflets placed in the boxes 4.

 Thus, after selecting an address or a trade, the user can very quickly locate said address or said trade on the plane 2 by simple actuation of the corresponding switch 6.

 The electrical supply of the indicator lights 7 and of the possible permanent light point can be ensured, either by means of batteries housed in the infrastructure 3 and accessible, for example, from the rear of the device, or by simple connection to a current circuit. electric.

 Thanks to the invention, it is possible to quickly locate an address on a city map and to document completely on commercial availability or the like.

 Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawing. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements, or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
