FR2622419A1 - Removable fixing device for panels to hold packets of postcards and the like of different sizes on a single display unit - Google Patents

Abstract

The device consists, on the one hand, of a main panel 1 cut out with identical pairs of holes 2, 3 of the same width, parallel vertically and horizontally, separated by a solid piece and, on the other hand, of small support panels 5 into which a tongue 4 is cut vertically, of the same width as the holes and longer than the maximum distance between pairs of holes. The tongue 4 slides into the hole 2, re-emerges through the hole 3 to be supported by the main panel 1 fixing the small panel to the large one. The small panels can be of different sizes because they all have tongues of the same size which fit anywhere. The device according to the invention is intended for removably fastening supports for packets of different sizes on a single display unit.

Description

 The present invention relates to a removable fixing device by supports of bundles of postcards or the like, allowing an instantaneous total or partial change of types or formats of goods exhibited on a single basic display.

 The current displays are fixed and can only receive the same type or format of goods, without the possibility of simple change.

 The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback.

 The basic display is a flat panel of rigid material dqns which are cut identical pairs of cavities all having the same width and the same height each respectively. These cavities are parallel horizontally and vertically and separated by an identical solid space. The number of these pairs of cavities arranged vertically on the panel is limited only by the final rigidity of the latter.

 The bundle supports are small panels of the same material uncovered in their center by a vertical tab of single width for all equal to the width of the cavities and whose length exceeds the distance between the top and the bottom by a couple of cavities. This slightly pushed tab is introduced through the front of the upper cavity, slid down from behind, pulled out by the lower cavity towards the front so that the tip of the tab rests on the front of the main panel. The tongue will be blocked at the top by the cutout stop, held laterally in the two cavities by its same width and blocked vertically by the tension caused by the slight deformation of the tongue.

 This will firmly hold the small panel over the large one.

 To remove the small panel, simply pull up slightly, which releases the tab and the small support panel.

 The small support panels can be of different format since having the same tongue width, they can be fixed in the couple of cavities at the location justified by their surface.

The quantity of pairs of cavities in the main panel thus allows an instant change of types and formats of goods presented &
This device according to the invention is particularly intended for the removable fixing of supports for bundles of postcards and the like of different formats or not on a single basic display.

 According to a variant, the main panel may contain cavities of equal height, equidistant, vertically and horizontally parallel, thus increasing the number of pairs of cavities available.

 This device can be manufactured with a 2.5 mm thick laminated cardboard or other material combining the same rigidity and the slight flexibility necessary for tensioning. Two cutting operations are necessary.

 Figure I shows a basic panel with its cavities.

 Figure 2 shows a small support panel with tongue.

 Figure 3 shows a small installed support panel seen from the front.

 Figure 4 shows in section the device of the invention.

 The main panel (I) is cut out of cavities (2) (3) on its surface.

The tab (4) of the small support panel (5) is slightly pushed, introduced into the cavity (2), slid downwards and released by the cavity (3) so as to be locked on the front of the main panel (I) .

The slight twist applied to the tongue (4) creates a tension which firmly holds the small panel (5) against the large (I)

Claims (2)

I) removable fixing device for supporting bundles of postcards and the like of identical or different formats, on a single basic display, characterized in that it comprises a main panel (I) of rigid material from which are cut pairs identical of ca vities (2) (3) of single width, separated by the same solid, parallel to 'dirty and horizontally, allowing the insertion of the tongue (4) of the same width of the small bundle support panel (5) in the upper cavity (2), slid down and released by the cavity (3) to rest and lock on the main panel (I), thus firmly fixing the small support panel (5) on the main display (I ) by the voltage thus applied. 2) removable fixing device according to claim I, characterized by the rupture of the straight line of the tongue (4) passing through the two cavities (2) (3) causing a vertical fixing created by the stop and the tension applied to the tongue (4) by slight deformation, and a lateral fixture due to the exact width dimensions.
