Abstract

The subject of the invention consists of rectangular leaves (1), the longitudinal sides of which are equipped respectively with tubing, at the ends of which are incorporated elements (5 and 8) - retractile device having a ball with a spring and fixings respectively - for sliding in longitudinal grooves (6) formed in lateral sectional bars (7) which are fixed into a frame (15). Numerous leaves (1) can take their place between the lateral sectional bars (7), those situated at the ends being retained by stops (9) instead and in place of the elements (5 and 8). When a large quantity of information is required, a double-capacity frame is provided, which incorporates at its centre a separation sectional bar (20), the leaves being adjusted between the latter and the respective lateral sectional bar (7). These leaves are capable of incorporating guidance slideways (22) on their front face (2) in order to accommodate display plaques therein. The frame (15) indicated above may be coupled to a support plate (16) suspended from rods; it may also be fixed against a wall, etc.

Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

  As expressed in the description of the specification, the

  present invention refers to a directional sign for affi-

  interior and exterior, advanced, can be placed

  directly against a wall, on appropriate support columns

  prayed, or on a board suspended by tie rods or

  similar fixed by their upper free ends.

  The directional panel is essentially composed by rectangular slats which are inserted laterally in

  profiles, these in turn fitting into a frame-

  support fixed at the desired location The desired display will be placed on

  the front faces of the slats These are liable to

  closes guide rails on their front side in order to

  accommodate plates carrying the desired display.

  When there is a lot of information to display,

  installation of a double capacity frame, so that one can in-

  center a separation profile in order to install two

rows of slats.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

  The directional panel for interior and ex-

  improved, constituting the object of the invention, is

  defined on the basis of a series of coverslips or plates

  gulars of different heights, the front face of which is smooth

  while the rear face is provided along its long sides

  gitudinal lines of pipes or flutes which have, near the

  minor sides, a retractable ball and push spring device

  sée by means of which it is possible to insert each plate into lateral profiles provided with a longitudinal groove where the balls engage The above-mentioned retractable device can be replaced at one of the ends of the strip by a fixing provided with a nipple which engages in the corresponding groove of the lateral profile According to this arrangement, the plate provided with the fixed part will first be introduced, then to press

the opposite side.

  The coupling of the extreme lamellae placed between the

  lateral profiles are carried out by means of stop pieces which

  act in the groove and in the guide rails of the

  side wires, then preferably fixed with pins

  Allen, so as to prevent unauthorized persons from

  feels removing the slats The side profiles are assembled by

  screws or the like in a frame, while

  this is installed against a wall, on a hanging board, etc.

  The plates may be fitted with slides

  longitudinal channels to insert display plates, thus avoiding having to make the signaling directly on the front face of the slats and making possible at the same time their interchangeability. A lamella separator profile has been provided which is inserted vertically in the center of a double capacity frame, of

  so as to be able to mount two rows of plates.

  Below, in order to facilitate the understanding of this descriptive memory of which they form an integral part, are attached a series of figures which represent the subject of the invention by way of

illustrative but not limiting.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EXECUTION MODE

  Referring to the numbering referenced in the fi-

  gures, the directional sign for indoor and outdoor display

  improved laughter consists of strips 1 or rectangular plates whose front faces 2 are smooth, while

  that the rear faces 3 are provided with pipes 4 or can-

  grooves in the longitudinal direction, so that at their ends

  moths and in correspondence with each minor side there is a

  retractable device with ball and thrust spring, by means of-

  which we obtain the removable mounting of the plates 1 in the grooves

  longitudinal 6 arranged in lateral profiles 7 At the ends

  mites of the pipes 4 and on one of the minor sides, provision has been made to be able to adapt fasteners 8 provided with pins intended to be inserted into the groove 6 of one of the side profiles 7, so that, during the mounting the slats 1, first engaging the pins of the fasteners 8, then applying pressure on the opposite side, in order to introduce the balls of the retractable devices 5

  in the groove 6 of the lateral profile 7.

  It is possible to arrange numerous plates 1 of different heights between the two lateral profiles 7, so that thus

  that can be seen in Figure 1 for fixing the la-

  1 extreme 1, 9 stops have been provided which penetrate into

  the ends of one of the grooves 4 as well as in the rails

  6 of the side profiles 7, thus making the abutment pieces 9 integral, preferably by means of Allen pins 10, thus preventing unauthorized personnel from being able to remove the

  strips 1 Furthermore, the abutment pieces 9 are provided with a wing-

  flat lines 11 which are supported on the lower 12 and upper 13 ends of the lateral profiles 7 These are fixed by screws 14 or other means similar to a frame 15, at the same time as the latter is enclosed by means of the same screws 14 to a support plate 16 suspended from tie rods 17, which is capable of

  support another frame 15 on its opposite face, and whose interior

  laughter has the respective plates 1 engaged in the profiles

side 7.

  The directional panel is fixed by means of tie rods 17 as explained above. It can also be directly secured against a wall by means of the incorporated dowels which will receive

  screws to be inserted in a fin 18 integral with the plate-

  support 16 Fixing against the wall is also possible by means of screws 14, obviously eliminating one of the frames 15 The different parts of the latter 15 are assembled by their corners by means of parts 19 in the form of a right angle and by a few

assembly accessories.

  When the display of abundant information is required, it will be necessary to incorporate a large number of plates 1 inside the frames 15, which is why it has been planned that these will be of double capacity, such that precisely

  in their center and parallel to the lateral profiles 7, it will be pos-

  sible to insert the separator profile 20 in the shape of a "T" shown in FIG. 2, provided with grooves 21 on either side of the

  vertical branch, similar to those of the side profiles 7 pre-

  As a result, the different lamellae 1 are adjusted between

  the separator profile 20 and the respective lateral profile 7.

  As shown in Figure 3, the slats 1 are

  likely to incorporate slides 22 on their front face

  tale 2, arranged at the edge in both longitudinal directions,

  which are intended to receive the display plates 23, which thus avoids having to write information directly on the front faces of the slats 1, which would be less easy and practical, besides the exchange of information at way of

  23 pads are executed much faster and easier.
