2 is a rear perspective view of the second embodiment of the display unit support of the present invention having a single panel in the disposed state,

3 is a top perspective view of the upper portion of the third embodiment of the display unit support of the present invention having two panels.

The present invention relates to an information display unit support for visual delivery or advertising in a store known as point of sale (POS) advertising. The display units of the present invention are columns that can be transported and stored under excellent conditions, can be installed very quickly, and can be folded and unfolded automatically.

More specifically, the present invention includes at least one panel made of a substantially rigid and collapsible material comprising a presentation face, elastic pressing means for bending the panel's revealing surface, and the panel's disclosure. At least one release, comprising a plurality of retaining inserts for keeping the face bent, the retaining inserts being moved in a discontinuously distributed manner along the face of the panel facing the elastic pressing means An information display unit support having a face.

From the folded state, by starting to unfold the support, the support is automatically fully extended by the elastic pressing means. Of course, the support can be folded against the elastic pressing means.

Such display supports are disclosed by publication FR2824946.

In this support the support surface, or inserts, have a length shorter than the distance between the two side edges of the panel or board, thus leaving the surface open.

In order to allow the elastic bands fixed at the adjacent adjacent ends of the inserts or the adjacent borders or flaps to be connected at the sides of the board of the open surface, the above-mentioned publication discloses an elastic band at the fixed adjacent ends of the inserts. It is proposed to provide tabs for them to pass and be held.

These tabs have the disadvantage that the elastic bands are difficult to enter into the tabs, and there is a risk of bending the inserts by stiffening the distal ends of the inserts and relatively weakening the rest of the inserts.                         

Because of the small length of the inserts, there is a problem of maintaining the height or horizontal position of the inserts when the display unit is placed, which is associated with a plurality of inconspicuous inserts.

Applicants have sought ways to solve this problem. Applicant considered one of the ideas related to the development of the older display unit support described in publication FR2760880, which includes a single opposing rear retaining board on the front face and side flaps of the public surface. It is connected along the front board of the release surface by side edges at the dihedral formed by it.

The display unit support of the present invention is bent, in which the retaining inserts facing the elastic pressing means are bent, outwardly of the panel by two pairs of side flaps for forming two sets of back flaps for receiving the retaining inserts. With a length equal to the distance between the two side edges of the panel in the state, the resilient compression means according to the vertical force opposite the horizontal compression to maintain the height of the holding inserts when the opening surface is in a bent state And flaps coupled to each other.

In order to propose the present invention, Applicant has developed a specific arrangement with reference to FR2824946 using cooperation between retaining inserts, flaps of the panel on the open face and elastic pressing members. The present invention is advanced.

Preferably, the resilient compression means associated with the respective retaining inserts extend on their own and include at least one resilient strap that engages one of the flaps of the panel and the fixed adjacent distal end of the insert, the side edge of the panel. Two base parts joined to the retaining insert by force applied to the trapezoidal inclined parts with two base parts parallel to the field and two parts inclined in directions opposite the edges. Exert opposing vertical forces.

Preferably, the elastic strap is accommodated in two inclined, substantially straight notches on the distal end of the insert, and provides a function of positioning the flap and the distal end of the insert relative and a loop function for the elastic strap.

Preferably, the fixed proximal end of the insert includes an edge parallel to the side edges of the panel and a circular notch formed starting from the edge to prevent wetting between the flap and the end of the insert.

 Thus, even if the flap is slightly curved due to the elastic band, the edge of the curved notch provides a guide function that prevents wedging between the two portions of the display unit support joined by the elastic strap.

In a preferred embodiment of the retaining inserts, each of the straight notches connects the two edges of the inserts perpendicular to the side edges of the panel and causes the two edges to be discontinuous.

The display unit support of the present invention is provided with at least two panels with an open face, said retaining inserts comprising two fixed adjacent distal ends.

Regardless of whether the display unit support has one or more release surfaces, the retaining inserts are opposed to a fixed adjacent distal end, the distal end being joined to a plurality of flaps of a plurality of panels joined by a single panel flap or an elastic return compression strap. Include.

In another embodiment of the display unit support of the present invention, each retaining insert is rectangular and has two sides that connect the ends of the side segments and two side segments extending substantially along the side edges of the panel. With a single elastic strap folded crosswise by cross diagonal segments, the elastic strap is fixed to the side flaps so that the edges of the retaining insert perpendicular to the side edges of the panel bear the diagonal segments of the elastic strap and the height of the retaining insert Is maintained.

Preferably, the side flaps of the panel are divided into spaced base portions each joined with retaining inserts and are higher in height than the inserts, and the elastic straps provide a backside angle between the base portions of the panel and the flaps. It is secured in the notches thus formed.

In a particular embodiment, at least two panels with open surfaces are provided, the two panels being connected by two flaps compressed in pairs towards the same side of the inserts by elastic straps.

The invention will be better understood with reference to the accompanying drawings, using the following description of two preferred embodiments of a display unit support.

The two inserts 18, 19 are identical and have circular notches 39, 40 having the function of preventing wedging between the base flap portion and the corresponding distal end of the insert, starting from the side edges 29, 30 of the insert. Formed in each of the corresponding end portions. If the elastic band 44 bends the basic flap portion 12 and the side edges of the insert do not include a circular cut out of the narrow flap portion, there is a clear risk of wedging.

The final lower insert 20 with the support footrest 41 to reach the ground is wider than the other inserts and the lower transverse strip extending under the lower curved notches 34 of the final basic flap portions 14, 17. It includes 42 and is connected to the lower edges of the straight notches by a wide neck 43.

Each basic flap portion 12-17 is a straight notch that acts as a ring in the hole 24 of the flap portion, ie as a distal end of the insert after the elastic strap enters the curved notches 23. It is coupled to the stationary adjacent end portions 31, 32 of the insert by means of a self-continuous elastic string 44, ie an elastic band, contained within 33, 34. Each elastic band 44 is trapezoidal with two base portions 45, 46 parallel to the side edges 8, 9 of panel 2, one of which is visible in FIG. 1. An outer portion 45 outside the flap portion, and the other of the base portions is a dashed line in FIG. 1 and is an inner portion 46 which is not visible and is shorter than the outer portion and faces inward of the insert, The two parts 47, 48 are inclined in opposite directions of the side edges and enter between the flap part and the insert. By disassembling the elastic forces applied to the inclined elastic band portions 47, 48, the elastic band cooperates with the flap portion of the insert and the panel, starting from the flap portion and the inner edge of the backside angle between the panel and the flap portion ( Exerting an outward orthogonal (horizontal) force to pull the distal portion, side edges 29 and 30 in the backside angle with respect to 8, 9, and two opposing perpendicular forces by the rings 33 and 34 of the retaining insert. Exhibits 49 and 50 to maintain the height of the retaining insert. That is, in the horizontal position when the support is in the arranged state, the releasing surface 3 is in a state bent by the elastic band 44. The flap portion and the distal end of the insert are thus positioned relatively.

The retaining inserts 18-20 act against the elastic bands 44 which are compressive actions, which are done in a discontinuously distributed manner along the panel 2 and the release surface 3.

And retaining inserts 118, 119 having a completely rectangular shape, unlike the final insert 120, for the reasons described below. The inserts have a length equal to the distance separating the two side edges of the panel in a placed state. In this case, the width of the inserts is significantly smaller than the length (height) of the basic flap portions.

The basic flap portions are notched at two ends 170, 171 close to the transverse edges, are formed along the edges of the dihedral angle and the straight notches 123 distal to the holes 124 for receiving the elastic straps. ) Together with the panel.

Each retaining insert is held by a single elastic strap 144 that runs on its own and is woven crosswise. Since each insert is inserted between the back side 180 and the two basic flap portions of panel 102 shown in FIG. 2, each elastic band 144 received in corresponding four holes 124. Shows two side segments 160, 161 extending along the side edges of panel 102 between the panel and the flap portions, and two cross diagonal segments connecting the ends of the side segments, as shown in FIG. 2. As shown, the diagonal segments pass behind the ends 170, 171 of the basic flap portions, and between the inserts, between the backside 180 of the panel and the inserts, as indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 2. Therefore, each elastic band 144 secured to the two basic flap portions by corresponding four holes has the edges 135, 137 orthogonal to the side edges 108, 109 of the panel, and is elastic It acts as a stop to position the combined insert that bears the diagonal segments 162 and 163 of the band. In this way the height and the horizontal position of the retaining inserts are maintained.

The position of the retaining inserts is ensured by the decomposition of the elastic forces occurring at the diagonal segments of the elastic bands with the opposing vertical forces.

The final lower insert 120 includes two large curved notches through which the diagonal segments 162, 163 of the elastic band joined at the two lower side ends. This insert is laid on the ground by the lower edge 180, like the lower edge 107 of the panel 102 on the opposite side of the upper edge 106, and the support footrest 141 is secured to this insert.

As with the support of FIG. 1, the support 101 can be folded along the fold lines 104, 105 against the action of the elastic bands 144.
