Description

1i 2764494 The invention relates to the technical field of devices for

  maintenance and presentation of objects for

  furniture for storing or displaying articles.

  Such furniture can be, for example,

  shelves, displays, shelving or the like.

  This furniture is used in particular in

self-service stores.

  They generally have a depth such that several articles can be arranged one behind the other, only the articles placed furthest in front of each board or shelf of the furniture being clearly visible.

  by the consumer or the user.

  As a result, only items placed far in front of each shelf or shelf will be easily grabbed by a buyer or user, items placed further back may possibly escape view or be difficult to take and thus remain more or less

long waiting.

  This is particularly frequent in the case where the storage or exhibition furniture, in addition to being relatively deep, has planks or shelves placed low enough or high enough compared to the

  average size of the consumer or user.

  These products, which are out of sight or difficult to grasp, may exceed their expiration date, go out of fashion or be damaged before

  to be identified by a potential buyer or user.

2 2764494

  go out of fashion or even suffer damage before

  to be identified by a potential buyer or user.

  The filling of store shelves is a tedious and incessant manual operation. Most often, the most recent products are simply placed in front, thus hiding the more

old not yet sold.

  This phenomenon is all the more frequent since it is often recognized preferable that all the packaging of the available products forms, at the front of the furniture.

  as regular a surface as possible.

  Therefore, and given the time and effort it would take to do this, the operator will not be tempted, when filling the shelves, to add new products to the shelves while bringing

  manually the old products in the first row.

  Whether it's photographic film, cigarette packs, audio or video tapes, office supplies, food, and any perishable, fashion-related or large product

  consumption, the problem presented above arises.

  This problem is particularly marked in the field of beauty products such as perfumes, creams, eyeshadows, cosmetics, rimmels, foundations,

lips and the like.

  The distribution of these products has particular features such as, in particular:

3 2764494

  - the importance of the aesthetics of the packaging, which often adorns, embellishes the product and aims to be attractive, pleasant, even luxurious. Therefore, the packaging must be clearly visible on the shelf; - the importance of the aesthetics of the shelves and displays which often have to be as harmonious and regular as possible. Therefore, it is often desired that all the available products are aligned so as to form as even a surface as possible at the front of the furniture; - the wide variety of types of products sold at a single point of sale and the wide variety of products of a type considered. Therefore, the lining of shelves and displays is an operation

  all the more incessant and tedious.

  To resolve the technical problem presented above

  above, various solutions have been proposed.

  Document EP-A-603,140 describes a shelving system for "self-service" type supermarkets having a conveyor belt for advancing products

  little by little from the bottom of the shelf towards the front.

  This type of device is complex, difficult to

  adapt to existing and expensive storage furniture.

  There are also known devices for advancing products on a shelf, using

a spring mechanism.

  Reference may be made, for example, to the following documents: WO-A-87 04 328, EP-A-83 260, FR-A-2 668 691,

FR-A-2 647 655, FR-A-2 633 589.

4 2764494

  These sets use different types of springs according to the desired ratio between the force exerted

and ease of use.

  These assemblies generally include: - a casing containing a spring; a stopper on which the products come to bear;

  - a guide on which the casing circulates.

  These mechanisms are sometimes embellished with complementary functions: lateral guides, adjustable in width or not; - variable depth by sliding or by self-breaking sections; - hanging or holding system to form

monoblock assemblies.

  All these objects are fixed in configurations defined in advance or are very complex, complexity which

  is not proportionate to their ultimate utility.

  The object of the invention is to provide a device for holding and presenting articles for storage or exhibition furniture which does not have

  the disadvantages of the devices of the prior art.

  More particularly, the invention relates to a simple pusher, adaptable to any type of shelf frontage, customizable, independent of the depth of the shelves, allowing easy cleaning of the shelves, inexpensive and

quick to set up.

2764494

  Other objects and advantages of the invention

  will appear during the following description of modes

  of realization, description which will be made in

  referring to the appended drawings, in which: - Figures la and lb are schematic side views of an embodiment of the invention; Figure 2 is a schematic side view of a second embodiment of the invention; - Figure 3 is a perspective view of a set of presentation of objects according to an embodiment of the invention; - Figure 4 is a schematic side view of the assembly shown in Figure 3; - Figure 5 is a plan view of a pusher support as shown in Figure 3; - Figure 6 is a perspective view of a set of presentation of objects according to a second embodiment of the invention; - Figure 7 is a plan view of a pusher support as shown in Figure 6; - Figure 8 is a top view of a rack comprising a plurality of devices according to an embodiment of the invention; - Figure 9 is a sectional view of a pusher along the line IX-IX of Figure 3; - Figure 10 is a sectional view along a plane perpendicular to the plane IX-IX; - Figure 11 is a top view of another

  embodiment of the invention.

  The device for holding and presenting objects according to the invention comprises a first, mechanical assembly, which will be designated hereinafter by the term "pusher".

6 2764494

  This pusher 1 comprises, in its first part

  extreme 2 a hanging piece 3.

  This pusher 1 comprises, at its second end part 4, opposite to the end part 2, a part forming a casing 5. This casing 5 defines a protective envelope for an elastic return mechanism 6 which will be described later. A connecting element 7 associates the part

hooking 3 to the casing 5.

  Pusher 1 can be in two types of state. A first type of state, hereinafter called the relaxed state, is that in which the casing 5 and the attachment piece 3 are in support, the connecting element 7 then being totally or almost totally hidden from view and

contained in the housing 5.

  A second type of state, hereinafter called the taut state, is that in which the casing 5 is physically more or less distant from the attachment part 3, the element

  link 7 then appearing on view.

  In the appended figures, the pusher 1 is not

  shown only in the second type of state, tense.

7 2764494

  Manual traction on the housing 5, the attachment piece 3 being fixed on a support, makes it possible to make

  switch pusher 1 from the released state to the tense state.

  As soon as no force is no longer exerted externally on the casing 5, the attachment part 3 being fixed elsewhere, the pusher 1 returns

  naturally from the stretched state to the relaxed state.

  The connecting element 7 is present, in the modes

  shown in the form of a wire.

  This wire can be plastic, metal, or

  well made from natural or non-natural textile fibers.

  It can be, for example, a thread of PVC, PVDC, vinylidene chloride, PP, artificial silk or regenerated cellulose, PA, polyester, aramid fibers, steel or

equivalent materials.

  The material used to manufacture the connecting wire 7 has a high Young's modulus and / or the cross section of the wire is sufficiently large so that the wire connecting element thus formed, when subjected to a force of

manual traction, little deformation.

  The material used to manufacture the connecting wire 7 has a relatively high elastic limit and / or the cross section of the wire is large enough so that the wire connecting element thus formed, when subjected to a large manual tensile force, don't

not deform plastically.

8 2764494

  The connecting wire 7 also has significant flexibility and can be bent without effort, especially when it is not subjected to a stress of

significant traction.

  In total, the wire 7 is substantially flexible, inextensible and does not in itself exert any return force on the attachment piece 3, so that the wire 7 does not

  cannot be assimilated to a jurisdiction.

  In one embodiment, the wire 7 is

translucent or semi-transparent.

  In other embodiments, the wire 7 is tinted, the color or shade chosen for the wire possibly being linked to the product to be presented on the shelving

  with one or more pushpieces 1.

  The color or shade chosen can be linked to the type of pusher, in particular to the value of the elastic restoring force linked to the mechanism 6 contained in the casing 5. In other embodiments, not shown, the connecting element 7 is made up of several

  son or even a strip of flexible material.

  The connecting element 7 has a surface

  substantially smooth, in one embodiment.

  In other embodiments, the element of

  link 7 has a coating facilitating sliding.

9 2764494

  Wire 7 may include visual cues, or

  markings, regularly spaced or not.

  When the markings are regularly spaced, from a known distance, the user of the pusher 1 can easily assess the number of products he can

  place between the casing 5 and the attachment piece 3.

  An additional, specific marking may indicate to it that almost all of the wire connection element 7 has come out of the casing 5 and that additional traction on this casing 5, the attachment piece 3 being fixed elsewhere, would be without effect, pusher 1

  being close to its extreme stretched position.

  Where appropriate, the wire connection element 7 may include, in the vicinity of the attachment piece 3, a marking linked to the useful length of this wire element, and / or to the value of the induced elastic restoring force.

  by the mechanism 6 contained in the casing 5.

  By "marking" is meant a colored marker, a removable ring, an ink deposit invisible in natural light but visible under ultraviolet, or any other

  equivalent marking, removable or not.

  The casing 5 has the form, in the embodiments shown, of a parallelepipedic envelope. This envelope has a substantially flat and smooth lower face 8, forming the sliding surface of the pusher 1 on a plane of a shelf, a

  display, shelving or equivalent support.

2764494

  This plane can be horizontal or inclined relative to the horizontal, the attachment piece 3 being placed higher or lower than the casing 5 when the pusher 1 is in position on the shelf. The casing 5 has a front face 9 forming a bearing face for an object such as product packaging

cosmetic or equivalent.

  In the embodiments shown, this front face 9 is substantially smooth and flat, and

  perpendicular to the underside 8 of the housing 5.

  The comparison of FIGS. 1a and 1b shows that the casing 5 can, if necessary, be placed in two different positions, by reversing the position of the faces 8 and 9, the outlet opening 20 of the wire 7 being always disposed opposite and in the immediate vicinity of

housing support plane 5.

  To facilitate reading of the accompanying drawings, the distance between the opening 20 or the wire 7 of the plane of

  housing support 5 is very exaggerated.

  In other embodiments, not shown, the front face 9 can take the form of a counter-impression of a part of the object or of the packaging.

arranged on the shelf.

  Thus, for example, when the objects for sale which are arranged in a line between the casing 5 and the attachment part 3 have a generally cylindrical shape, the front face 9 of the casing 5 can be curved so as to marry at least part of the surface of the object for sale placed in the last row of the line, in support

against the casing 5 of the pusher 1.

  If necessary, counter-impressions of different shapes can be adapted so

  interchangeable on the front face 9 of the casing 5.

  It will then be possible, as shown in Figures la and lb, to reverse the position of the faces 8 and 9 when they are substantially smooth and perpendicular. The counter-impressions can be made of metal,

  plastic, shock absorbing material.

  They can be fixed to the casing 5 by clipping, gluing, snap-fastening, screwing or any other method of attachment

removable equivalent.

  They can be, if necessary, pivotally mounted around at least one axis relative to the casing 5. The casing 5 can be made of metal, of material

  plastic, wood or any other equivalent material.

  Where appropriate, the casing 5 is covered with a fabric or a cardboard or paper case, with or without patterns, corresponding or possibly recalling the object to be

sell presented on the shelf.

  In one embodiment, the casing 5 is opaque

  and hides the mechanism 6 from view.

12 2764494

  In other embodiments, the casing 5 is at least partially translucent or transparent and / or has a window making it possible to see part or all of the mechanism 6. Where appropriate, the casing 5 has an opening allowing possible repair or a complete replacement of the mechanism 6, or a change of the wire connection element 7, or even an adjustment of the force of

recall induced by mechanism 6.

  Where appropriate, the base surface 8 of the casing 5 may not be flat or substantially flat but be slightly curved so as to match the possible curvature of the sliding surface of the shelf, of the

department or display.

  The casing 5 may include wheels provided with rolling braking or on the contrary facilitating the return of the

  pusher 1 from a stretched position to the relaxed position.

  We now describe the recall mechanism

  elastic 6, contained in casing 5.

  The mechanism 6 comprises a pulley 11 of axis 10 on which the wire 7 comes to be wound in particular when the pusher 1 passes from a stretched position to the position

released previously defined.

  This pulley 11 has two side plates 12,

13 limiting his throat 14.

13 2764494

  The axis 10 supports a first end 15 of a

  elastic means such as a leaf spring 16.

  This leaf spring 16 is partially wound around the axis 10. The end part 17 of the leaf spring 16 opposite the end 15 is wound around a pin 18, fixed,

  of axis 19 parallel to the axis 10 of the pulley 11.

  The pin 18, in the embodiment shown in Figure 10, is of length substantially equal to that of the pulley of axis 10 and is mounted fixed on the walls

side of housing 5.

  In other embodiments, not shown, the pin 18 is mounted on a support internal to the casing 5 and is of length less than that of the pulley

11 of axis 10.

  A pulley can be mounted on pin 18.

  A frictional force linked to the rotation of this pulley can thus be added or replace the frictional forces of the leaf-spring 16 on the walls of the casing 5. The end part 17 of the leaf-spring 16 is simply wound around the pin 18 and is not fixed at

its end, on this pawn 18.

  When, for example by pulling on the casing 5, the attachment part 3 being fixed, the pusher 1 is passed from its released position to a taut position,

14 2764494

  the wire 7 is unwound from the groove 14 of the pulley 11, passes through an opening 20 of the casing 5 while the leaf spring 16 is unwound from the pin 18 and is wound around

axis 10.

  In order to prevent the leaf spring 16 from being fully unwound from the pin 18, it can be provided, when the end part 17 of the leaf spring 16 is not fixed to the pin 18, that this end part 17 comprises a withdrawal, a protuberance which comes up against a

internal surface of the housing 5.

  In one embodiment, in order to obtain a rapid rewinding of the spring 16 and a slow rewinding but associated with a large restoring force, the mechanism 6 comprises a disengageable regulation by

  fin or flyweight regulator.

  A simple action on the regulator allows stopping

of mechanism 6.

  Other types of elastic devices, such as tension or torsion springs can be provided in place of the leaf spring 16, or in addition to

this leaf spring.

  The casing 5 can contain, if necessary, in addition to the device 6, an anti-theft means such as a strip

magnetized or equivalent.

  We now describe a second set of the device for holding and presenting objects according to the invention.

2764494

  This second set, possibly complementary to the pusher 1 will be designated subsequently by the expression

"lateral guide box".

  This lateral guide box 21 can advantageously be made of cardboard, plastic or

analogous material.

  This box 21 can be produced from a blank 22 comprising, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7: - a central, substantially rectangular part 23 forming the sliding plane of the pusher 1; - two opposite side flaps 24, 25, arranged

  on either side of the central part and separated from it

  ci by fold lines, creasing 26, 27; - Two tabs 28, 29 arranged in the extension of the side flaps 24, 25 and separated from these by fold lines, creasing 30, 31, these lines 30, 31 being substantially perpendicular to the lines 26, 27; - A flap 32, articulated, arranged in the extension of the central part 23 and having a hole 33 near the fold line, creasing 34 separating

  the flap 32 of the central part 23.

  The positioning of the pusher 1 on the lateral guide box 21 can be carried out as follows: - folding of the rectangular flaps 24, 25 relative to the central part 23; - passage of the wire 7 in the hole 33 and fixing of the attachment part 3 on the wire 7 so that the flap 32 is placed between the part 3 and the casing 5 of the pusher 1;

16 2764494

  - folding of the tabs 28, 29 and of the flap 32 so

  forming the front face 35 of the box 21 set in volume.

  When the box 21 is set in volume, the front face 35 of the box 21 is formed by the flap 32. Starting from this flap 32 and going towards the center of the box 21, in the direction D of the figures, there are successively: - the tab 28, - the tab 29,

- section 39.

  Where appropriate and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an assembly strip 38 makes it possible to associate several boxes 21 set in volume, possibly side by side. This band 38 is placed between the legs 28

  and 29 folded between flaps 32 and 39.

  In the embodiment shown in Figures 6 and 7, the length L29 of the tab 29 is substantially more

  greater than the width 123 of the central part 23.

  So that, during the folding of the flaps 28, 29, 32, the tab 29 remains visible on one side of the box 21, over a length L'29 corresponding substantially to the difference between the length L29 and the width 123 defined

above.

  This length L'29 allows the association of the boxes 21, the protruding part of the tab 29 of a box 21

17 2764494

  can be slid between the legs 28, 29 of an adjoining box. When several parallel lines of products are envisaged, it is thus possible to have several sets

  pusher 1 / box 21 side by side.

  The association of a box 21 as described above

  above at pusher 1 is not exclusive.

  When several pushers 1 are used side by side for several rows of products, and the boxes 21 or their equivalents are not used, there may be a problem of overlapping of the products placed on the

same rows of neighboring lines.

  To avoid this problem, thin buffers 36 and thick buffers 37 can be arranged on the front of the

  linear, as shown in Figure 8.

  These stops 36, 37 can be, optionally,

  associated with the attachment pieces 3.

  These attachment pieces 3 are customizable and can be adapted both to the type of product to be placed in

  linear than the type of existing exhibition furniture.

  So, for example, when the shelves or displays are metallic, the hanging pieces

can be magnetized.

  Optionally, as shown in Figure 2, the attachment piece 3, magnetized or not, can be arranged

18 2764494

  below the shelving, the display, the shelf,

  so that it is barely visible.

  Nd Fe B magnets can for example be used because of the excellent ratio which they allow

  between magnetic attachment power and magnet volume.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the attachment part 3 can be fixed on the casing 5, the wire 7 passing over a pulley 40 disposed on the front face of the display. This pulley 40 may include graduations, marks, the scrolling of the wire 7 against the pulley 40 causing the rotation thereof and allowing

  display of the number of items remaining on the display.

  The device for holding and presenting articles just presented offers many

  advantages over existing devices.

  Simple construction, it can adapt to any type of shelf front with customizable hanging pieces. Installation is possible for any shelf depth, only lengths of wire 7 and leaf spring

  16 being possibly limiting.

  It makes cleaning the shelves easier

  since the surface is free once the products have been removed.
