Abstract

A display stand for elongate objects comprises a foot and several display compartments. The compartments (3) are assembled in such a way that they cannot be detached from the foot (2) of the display stand but can rotate relative to the said foot (2) about an approximately horizontal axis.

Description

DISPLAY FOR LONG-SHAPED OBJECTS

  The invention relates to a display for

elongated shape.

  The invention applies more particularly to the presentation of objects of the ballpoint pens, felt tip pens, pencils or other instruments type.

writing.

  On the displays currently used, elongated objects are used in a succession of transparent compartments nested one on the

others and removable.

  When we want to grab an object, it is necessary to free it from a set of objects stored in bundles or bundles or to grab it through a tangle of objects. The subject of the invention is a display unit of elongated shape, comprising a display stand and several presentation compartments, characterized in that the compartments are assembled inseparably from the display stand, pivoting relative to said foot around

of a substantially horizontal axis.

  According to other characteristics of the invention: The compartments each have a notch

gripping elongated objects.

  The compartments have axes of rotation trapped in bores integral with the gripping foot. The compartments rest on one another and define between them narrow slots of width

  corresponding to the extraction of an elongated object.

  The compartments include bottoms provided with a notch, each bottoms being raised towards the front and

  curved into a cylindrical shape.

  The compartments are tilted forward according to

an angle between 5 and 35.

  The invention will be better understood thanks to the

  description given by way of non-limiting example at

  look at the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. i represents a schematic view in

  perspective of a display according to the invention.

  Figure 2 shows a top view of a foot

display according to the invention.

  Figure 3 shows a front view of a

  display compartment according to the invention.

  Figure 4 shows a top view of a

  display compartment according to the invention.

  Figure 5 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a display compartment according to

  the invention according to line V-V of FIG. 4.

  In FIG. 1, a display unit 1 according to the invention comprises a display stand 2 with compartments 3 articulated in rotation on the display stand 2 Each compartment 3 can pivot around a substantially horizontal axis of rotation in the direction of the arrow R of Figure 1 to give access to the immediately lower compartment, The compartments 3 are inclined towards the front of the display and downwards at an angle between 5 and 35, Objects placed in a compartment 3 therefore slide naturally towards the front to the level of a notch 4 cut in the front face and the bottom of the compartment 3 The notch 4 thus facilitates the gripping of the ionized objects which slide iusquaa front of the compartment so as to present their middle at the level

notch 4.

  In FIG. 2 r the foot of the prisoner 2 comprises hooking means 5, for example without fixing lugs or studs in front of a protile 6 in U. This section 6 in U comprises at the top of the display stand a crosses? of consolidation capable of receiving a sign or an advertising panel in the interval 8 comprised between the cross-member 7 and a front edge 9 of the U-shaped profile. For this purpose it is provided that the bottom of the interval 8 is closed to pocket all vertical sliding of

advertising panel.

  2 - Inside the U-shaped profile 6, fixing pads 10 square, cylindrical or rectangular have bores 11 intended to receive rotation

  axes attached to compartments 3.

  The display stand 2 also includes an inclined plane 12 on which re oses the lowest compartment 3, The inc. Panel 12 is adjacent two lateral faces 13 and to a front face 14, Advantageously provided on the front face of adapt a clamp 1 'made of transparent plastic to fix it elastically for example: a block

or a sheet of paper.

  The display stand is preferably made of elements of thermoplastic synthetic material formed at

  hot and assembled by collar or ultrasonic welding.

  According to the invention, the display is assembled in such a way that the compartments 3 cannot be removed from the stand 2 and that their only freedom of movement is freedom of pivoting around a substantially horizontal axis of rotation in the direction of the arrow R of the

figure 1.

  In FIGS. 3 to 5, a display compartment according to the invention has a solid bottom i 6 on

  which rest the elongated objects.

  The solid bottom 16 has a notch i?

  substantially in the shape of a semicircle.

  The solid bottom 16 is raised and curved towards

  the front in a cylindrical shape 1 L 8.

  The notch 17 extends into the cylindrical shape 18 substantially in two parallel sectors 19 which are straight sections of the cylindrical shape The cylindrical shape 18 is limited by a

  substantially horizontal generator 20.

  At the intersection of the parallel sectors 19 and the generator 20, two rounded sections are advantageously provided

  21 to prevent any risk of snagging or cutting.

  The flat bottom 16 thus formed is bordered by 3 lateral faces: 1 rear face 22 advantageously formed by raising and bending the solid bottom 16 towards the rear and two faces 23 and 24 which are, after assembly of the display unit 1, parallel to the two sides of the U-shaped profile 6. The faces 23 and 24 of shape adapted to that of the bottom carry axes of rotation 25 and 26 which are of diameters corresponding to the diameters of the bores II of the

figure 2.

  After assembly of the display unit 1, it is understood that the axes of rotation 25 and 26 prisoners of bores 11 allow the pivoting of the compartments 3 according to the arrow R in FIG. 1, but are opposed to any other movement and prevent in particular from take them away

  compartments 3 without moving the entire display 1.

  The gripping notch 4 or 17 allows the gripping of the elongated objects one by one and their extraction by the

  slot 27 defined by the stack of two compartments 3.

  However, the narrow width of the slot 27 prevents the extraction of a bundle of elongated objects and

  thus reduces the risk of theft of elongated objects.

  When it is desired to reload a given compartment by adding a large number of elongated objects, it suffices to rotate all of the upper compartments according to arrow R in FIG. 1 thanks to this pivoting, access to the opening upper 28 is possible and reloading is very tactile and very fast because the opening 28 corresponds to the total surface

from the bottom 16.

  Advantageously, provision is made for locking means, not shown, to prevent the compartments 3 from pivoting in the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 1. 4 -
