Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a removable display device for a shelf and a shelf comprising such a device. It applies in particular to shelves in commercial distribution premises. More particularly, the present invention applies to the highest shelf of a rack.

STATE OF THE ART

In the large and small distribution businesses, the highest shelf of a rack is commonly used for storage. Products no longer entering the rack are stored there. This shelf is commonly called "the cap". Given the height of the cap, the stored items are often disordered.

Currently, the cap is left in the free view of customers, which makes an unsightly appearance since the stock is visible.

There are also devices to hide stored products. However, the fastening system of these devices is bulky and prevents storing products behind. The cap becomes unusable as a storage space. Other display devices exist and are attached to the cap without being able to be moved. It is therefore not easy to access the storage space of the store. In addition, the display is unchangeable.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention aims to remedy all or part of these disadvantages. For this purpose, according to a first aspect, the present invention aims a removable display device for a shelf, which comprises: - a frame, comprising means for fixing on a shelf, and at least one slide, - at least one slide in sliding connection along a first axis, parallel to the shelf, relative to the slide and - a display support, in pivot connection with the slide along a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the shelf, comprising means for holding a display, so that in a first configuration the slider is in an end position in the slider and the display medium is in a plane parallel to the first axis, and in a second configuration the slider is in another end position in the slide and the display medium is in a plane normal to the first axis.

With these provisions, a removable display is attached to the shelf. The display can be retracted in the first configuration easily to allow access to the storage space of the shelf. The display can also be changed easily and regularly, depending on promotional offers, for example.

In embodiments, the frame has at least one stop limiting the rotational movement of the display medium relative to the second axis, each stop having at least one magnet, and the display support comprises at least one element made of material paramagnetic.

These embodiments have the advantage of preventing the movement of the display medium once in the second configuration. However, the resistance of the magnet also allows a user to break the contact between the magnet and the display holding means to put the display medium in the first configuration to access the storage space.

In embodiments, the stop has an inclined surface configured to limit the rotational movement of the display medium relative to the second axis at an angle of less than ninety degrees.

Such a limitation makes it possible to have an inclined display support towards the eyes of a client moving in a radius. The message displayed on the display is then more easily visible.

In embodiments, the means for holding a display comprise at least one groove in which the display is at least partially inserted. The advantage of these embodiments is to easily modify the display while ensuring a maintenance.

In embodiments, the display holding means comprise at least one threaded bore and a screw, inserted into the threaded bore, creating a recess between the means for holding a display and the display.

These embodiments make it possible to maintain displays of different thicknesses.

In embodiments, the frame is braced on the shelf.

Thanks to these provisions, a rupture of the buttress by displacement of the device makes it easy to disassemble the device without leaving marks on the shelf.

In embodiments, one of the slider and the slider includes, in a section normal to the first axis, a regular polygon-shaped opening, the other element having a corresponding relief.

These embodiments simplify the manufacture and maintenance of the device.

In embodiments, at least one end, along the first axis, of the slide has a stop limiting movements of the slide along the first axis. The advantage of these embodiments is to be able to align the display medium with the edge of the shelf to place the display identically on each shelf.

In embodiments, at least one abutment comprises a magnet and the slider comprises at least one element made of paramagnetic material.

These embodiments make it possible to hold the slide in abutment in the slide.

According to a second aspect, the present invention aims a shelf comprising a removable display device object of the present invention.

The aims, advantages and particular characteristics of the shelf object of the present invention being similar to those of the device object of the present invention, they are not recalled here.
