FR2817073A1 - Fastening for sign panel on suspended display rod has rigid vertical member attached to rod by supple folded flap with holes for clip - Google Patents

Abstract

The sign panel fastening consists of a rigid vertical member (1) with at least one hole at the top, attached to a suspended display rod (31) by a supple folded flap (2) with two or more holes (22, 23) which are aligned with the hole in the vertical member to receive a clip (5). The vertical member has an angled shape with angles (17, 18) of over 90 deg at the top and a notch (13) for a price ticket (34).

Description

<Desc / Clms Page number 1>

The present invention relates to a device for fixing tabs on shelf pins.

In the shelves, it is common to place advertising or information signs called stop-rays. These spoke stops are attached to the spoke perpendicular to it and protrude into the aisle.

These arrangements, which are easy when the products are presented on shelves, are more complicated when the products are suspended from pins.

Most of the pins used in the shelves are made up of 2 parts: the lower rod which supports the products and the upper rod at the end of which is fixed a label holder for prices.

The end of the upper rod is T-shaped. This T is formed by a rigid metal wire of section 3 to
5 mm and measuring 5 to 7 cm welded horizontally in the middle at the end of the spindle. To this T are attached removable transparent plastic label holders.

The sections of the upper and lower rods are variable and generally between 3 and 10 mm.

The object of the invention is to propose a system making it possible to fix the spoke stops on the upper rod of any spindle of the type defined above, without these spoke stops masking the labels and preventing the setting in place or exit of hanging products.

Thus, the invention is in the form of a system composed of two parts joined together and put in place by means of the same clip: the connecting part which connects the

 spoke stop at the upper rod and the fixing lug which holds the system in place on the rod.

A) The connecting piece is presented as a bent piece at substantially 90, fixed from below to the spoke stop and clipped from above to the upper rod.

The upper part of the connecting piece is substantially horizontal. It is pierced with at least one hole and is wide enough to also be optionally glued to the fixing lug. It attaches to the upper spindle rod, just behind the label holder.

It may or may not have a notch allowing the attachment of the label holder to pass.

The intermediate part of the connecting piece is substantially vertical. It is sufficiently fine to pass behind the label holder without interfering with the placement and removal of the products suspended from the lower rod.

It is rigid enough to hold the spoke stopper in place, vertical and perpendicular to the spoke.

The lower end is an extension of the intermediate part, it widens to be fixed to the spoke stopper in various possible ways by gluing and / or clipping or otherwise. It may or may not be pierced with one or more holes.

B) The fixing lug which holds the connecting piece in place on the upper spindle rod. It closes, using at least one clip, on either side of the horizontal upper part of the workpiece.

 connection by clamping the upper rod. For this, it is presented as a sufficiently flexible piece to be closed around a thin axis and to be held in place by means of one or more clips.

This fixing lug is pierced with several holes allowing a tight closure by clipping on rods whose sections vary between 3 and 10 mm.

The tightening of the fixing lug around the upper rod can be reinforced by a double-sided adhesive positioned on the inside of the lug.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure 1 shows the connecting piece and the fixing lug.

Figure 2 shows the positioning of the fastening system on the upper rod of a spindle.

Figure 3 shows the fixing device in place on a spindle.

With reference to these drawings, the device consists of a connecting piece (1) which connects the spoke stop (4) to the spindle and a fixing lug (2) which fixes this connecting piece to the rod. upper part of the spindle (31). the connecting piece (1) is a bent piece at substantially 90, rigid enough to keep the spoke stop vertical and perpendicular to the spoke. Its enlarged base (15) is fixed to the spoke stop (4) which can be glued, stapled, welded, or clipped by means of a hole (16). This base may have a hole in it and be wide enough to stick to the spoke stop.

 The intermediate part (14) of the connecting piece is substantially vertical and passes behind the label holder (34). This intermediate part (14) is long enough so that the tab for attaching the tab (41) does not come into contact with the label holder. This intermediate part (14) is rigid enough for the spoke stopper (4) to be held in a vertical position and perpendicular to the spoke. It is fine enough to leave a free passage (35) to arrange the products on the lower part (32) of the spindle or remove them.

The upper part (11) of the connecting piece (1) makes an elbow of substantially 900 relative to the intermediate part (14). It is pierced with at least one hole (12) to be clipped to the fixing lug (2). It is wide enough to be glued to this fixing lug (2).

It narrows from its angle with the vertical part to its end, for this, its interior angles (17), (18) are greater than 900 in order to clear a passage (35) sufficient for the products suspended on the lower rod ( 32). They can also be rounded.

Its upper edge (19), in contact with the upper rod (31), is straight and substantially perpendicular to the vertical part.

It has, in its external angle with the vertical part, a notch (13) in order to avoid forcing on the attachment system (33) of the label holder.

By way of nonlimiting example, this connecting piece will have

<Desc / Clms Page number 5>

 dimensions of the order of 11 cm high and 6 cm wide (overall) and a thickness of less than 1 cm. The intermediate part will have a width of 7 mm and the lower and upper parts of variable widths of the order of 1.5 to 2 cm.

The fixing lug (2) clips onto the connecting piece (1). There is a clip (5) in the hole (21), this clip crosses the connecting piece through the hole (12).

The fixing lug is flexible enough to surround the upper rod (31) of the spindle and to be re-clipped onto the same clip (5) in one of its two holes (22) or (23). The hole (22) will be used when the upper rods are thin: from 3 to 5 mm, the hole (23) will be used for rods with upper sections.

The fixing lug must be pierced with at least two holes distributed in such a way that it can be clipped on either side of the connecting piece by surrounding the upper rod. Beyond the number of holes is not limiting.

This device is intended to be installed in all sales areas to highlight products presented on pins fitted with label holders.

Claims (4)

CLAIMS 1) Device for attaching signboards to shelf pins, characterized in that it consists of a substantially vertical bent rigid part (1) pierced with at least one hole (12) in its upper part and a flexible fixing lug (2) pierced with two or more holes (21), (22), (23) which join together by fixing themselves to the upper rod of the spindle (31) by means of the same clip ( 5). 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized by the particular angled shape of the connecting piece (1) whose upper part (11) has a straight outer edge (19), substantially perpendicular to the vertical part. 3) Device according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the angles (17) and (18) of the upper part are greater than 90 'which implies a gradual narrowing of the upper part from the part

 vertical (14) to its end. 4) Device according to claim 2 characterized in that the upper part has a notch (13) in its outer angle with the vertical part.
