FR2777685A1 - Frame with adjustable support for temporary display of photographs or documents - Google Patents

Abstract

The document or photograph to be displayed is held in a frame made from tubular sections (9i, 9s) with a transparent covering panel (11) and connected by a triangular rear support (7i, 7s). The support is connected by as hook (6) to a socket (5) in a bracket (3) which slides up and down a vertical mast (1) and is fixed in the required position by a knurled wheel (4).

Description

-1- The present invention relates to a device for displaying

  temporarily photographs, posters, press clippings or any other paper-based document. Traditionally to temporarily display this type of document, it is most commonly pinned, taped or glued to rigid panels

  and flat, installed against a wall, placed or fixed to the ground.

  This device allows the display of paper documents without having to use any other accessory such as tape or thumbtack, it also has the advantage of not cluttering the floor space and simultaneously facilitating the

  reading a large number of people.

  The device consists of 2 separate, non-integral elements, a rigid mast which is fixed in height against a wall or a post, and a rigid frame jib

  triangulated coming to hang on the mast.

  This second element is provided with a curved transparent plate against which the documents to be displayed are pressed and held in place on the face

  posterior with an elastic cord.

  A wheel sliding along the mast allows you to adjust the height of the

display bracket.

  According to the particular embodiments: - The bracket can be provided with a slide adapted to the wheel and can therefore not

  no longer be removable and remain integral with the mast.

  - The transparent panel can be flat and rigid.

  - The adjustment wheel can be replaced by holes at regular intervals

  on the mast, the stop of the slide is then ensured by a stud making a tenon.

  - The elastic cord can if necessary be laced from top to bottom, in this case the

  perforations will be found on the upper and lower edges of the plate.

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

  Figure 1 shows the side view of the entire device of the invention.

  Figure 2 shows the front view of the entire device of the invention.

  Figure 3 shows a front view of the wheel, the slide, the sheath and the mast

of fixation.

  Figure 4 shows in cross section the wheel, the slide, the sheath

and the fixing mast.

  Figure 5 shows in section the split tube perpendicular to the upper arm

of the gallows.

  -2 - With reference to these drawings, the first element of the device of the invention, called the fixing mast (1) comprises 2 spacers (upper 2s and lower 2i) each provided with a plate and an integrated device (not illustrated) allowing the mast to be installed using 2 HILTI type screws and dowels on any type of support: wall, post ... On the mast, the slide (3) consisting of a tube 'A diameter greater than that of the mast comprises a nut (15) intended to receive the wheel (4) and a short welded tube (16) forming a sheath (5) intended to receive the hook (6) of the bracket. The thumb wheel (4) screwing into the nut (15) of the slide (3), comprises

  in addition to the filtered rod (14) an internal reinforcement (13) buffered on one exterior (12).

  The second element of the device called display bracket is composed of a triangulated frame comprising 2 arms (7s - upper and 7i - lower) and a triangulation bar of very small section (8) fixed to the upper arm as to the arm

  lower by a nut and a threaded rod.

  At the angle formed by the 2 arms, the upper arm ends in the form of

hook (6).

  At the end of each of the arms (7), a cut tube (9) over its entire length and fixed perpendicular to the arm allows the interlocking on the high bank as on the low bank of a transparent resistant and flexible plate of polycarbonate type ( 10). The distance separating the 2 tubes (9) being less than the height of the

  transparent plate, makes it become concave by constraint.

  In order to perfect the curvature of the plate over its entire width, 1 cable kept stretched by a cable tie connects the top corner to the bottom corner, on the left as

  right (1 lg and 1 ld) of the transparent plate.

  Over the entire height of the left and right side, a series of perforations allows lacing from left to right and from top to bottom of a cord

  elastic (12) on the convex part of the plate.

  The documents to be displayed are therefore placed at the back of the plate and are

  held in place by the elastic cord.

Claims (4)

  1) Device for temporarily displaying paper support documents characterized in that it comprises 2 separate and non-integral elements, a fixing mast (1) on which can slide from top to bottom and from bottom to top a bracket comprising a triangulated frame and a transparent display support plate (10).   2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that it comprises a tightening wheel (4) provided with a slide (2) and a sheath (5) for the   fixing of the stem thus allowing to adjust its height.   3) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that 1 triangulated frame exerts a stress and gives a curvature to the flexible and resistant transparent plate (12) by its nesting in high and low edge in a tube split (9) provided for this purpose.   4) Device according to claim 3 characterized in that 2 cables, 1 to the left of the plate and the other to the right, are held taut by a cable clamp in order to perfect the curvature.   ) Device characterized in that it comprises an elastic cord laced from left to right and from top to bottom of the transparent plate thus making it possible to tackle and maintain the documents to be displayed on the rear face of the plate.
