Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention is easier to install and use than conventional devices of this type, and has the advantage that the surface extends continuously from front to rear so that the entire surface can be illuminated. The present invention relates to a protruding display device.

The majority of illuminable displays mounted in front of buildings are of the type with advertising surfaces parallel to the front of the building, or with advertising surfaces projecting at a 90 degree angle from the front of the building. It is one of the types that have. The latter is known as a salient advertising device. They usually include a front, back, sides and top and bottom. The sides, top and bottom are usually metal pieces attached to the front and back sides which can be illuminated. The sides and top and bottom of the device therefore remain unilluminated and cannot be used for advertising purposes. These displays are generally illuminated from the inside by fluorescent lights. The presence of two separate lighting surfaces complicates assembly and disassembly, makes it difficult to seal the device against ingress of dust and moisture, and to service the device.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an illuminable raised display device that is simpler to assemble, easier to use, and whose front and rear surfaces are not separated by unilluminated sides.

These problems are solved by the device according to the invention.

The present invention thus relates to an illuminable projecting advertising display device comprising (a) a frame and (b) a hood of transparent material covering the frame, the frame having fasteners for attaching the device to a wall. elements, a plate connected to these fastening elements and extending vertically along the wall, at least one upper and at least one lower support bracket attached to the upper and lower edges of the wall plate, respectively; Extending horizontally and vertically, it has fluorescent lamps mounted vertically between the brackets, the necessary elements for electrical illumination, and struts provided between optional upper and lower support brackets. A hood of transparent material, including front, rear and sides and top and bottom, is manufactured with dimensions such that it can be pushed onto and secured to the frame.

[0006] The hood is open to the front of the building. The opening is attached to the wall plate to which an optional sealing material is attached to the edges;
Preferably, the dimensions are such that the edges of the openings can be tightly articulated. In particular, the wallboard has a groove with sealing material into which the hood is inserted.

The hood is very simply fixed to the frame by screws attached to the bracket, one screw at the top and one at the bottom of the hood generally being sufficient.

[0008] The end surface of the hood is connected to the front and rear surfaces of the hood.
The surfaces may be formed at a zero degree angle, or may be formed from multiple surfaces, in which case the end faces enclose large angles with each other and with the front and rear sides. Preferably, the end surface has a semi-cylindrical shape that is continuous with the front and rear surfaces.

The front and back sides are used for advertising purposes in a known manner, but even if the end faces are semi-cylindrical, the end faces can also be used for advertising purposes, for example if the letters are arranged vertically. . If the end face is used for advertising when the device is illuminated, at least one fluorescent lamp is placed at a farther distance from the wall than any of the posts extending between the upper and lower support brackets.

The bottom of the hood is preferably opaque to avoid the unsightly appearance of dust entering the device. This can be achieved, for example, by using black-tinted synthetic glass or the like or by applying a black lacquer to the bottom.

As is well known, illuminable advertising displays, and especially raised displays, must be serviced from time to time to remove intruded dust or to replace failed fluorescent lamps.

[0012] This maintenance can be carried out just as easily as the initial installation. In the simplest case, the hood can be pulled out by loosening only two screws, serviced, and then reinstalled.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the frame and hood are separated.

The frame (1) is fixed to the wall of the building by means of fastening elements (3). These fastening elements (3) are connected to the upper part (5
) and the lower part (6) supports the wall plate (4) to which the support bracket is attached. Two support struts (7, 8) are placed between these brackets to increase stability. Fluorescent lamps are indicated by reference number (9). Holes (10) are shown in the upper support bracket (5) for screwing the hood to the frame.

In the hood (2), the front and rear sides are continuous with each other via a semi-cylindrical end face. Top (13)
and in the bottom (14) holes (11, 12) are provided for screwing the hood to the frame.

The hood is manufactured in a simple process from synthetic glass such as polymethyl methacrylate or polycarbonate. If the end faces are semi-cylindrical, the front, back and end faces are formed in a single step from appropriately sized plates and then glued to the preformed top and bottom.

[0017] The support bracket and the support strut can be manufactured, for example, from an aluminum tube of rectangular cross-section. A suitably shaped rubber profile can be used as the sealing material.

The main features and aspects of the invention are as follows.

1. (a) a frame; and (b) a hood of transparent material covering the frame, the frame having fastening elements for attaching the device to the wall, articulated with these fastening elements, and extending vertically along the wall. an extending board, at least one upper and at least one lower support bracket attached to the upper and lower edges of the wall plate, respectively, and extending horizontally and vertically to the wall and mounted vertically between the brackets; A transparent material comprising the front, rear and sides and top and bottom, with the necessary elements for fluorescent lighting, electrical illumination, and struts provided between optional upper and lower support brackets; An illuminable projecting advertising display device, the hood of which is dimensioned so that it can be pushed onto and secured to the frame.

2. 2. The illuminable protruding advertising display device according to 1 above, wherein the end surface is semi-cylindrical and extends continuously from the front to the rear.

3. 2. The illuminable raised advertising display of claim 1, wherein the at least one fluorescent lamp is located a greater distance from the wallboard than any post extending between the upper and lower support brackets.
