Description

The invention relates to infrastructure in the field of information and promotional products and is intended for the rapid assembly of temporary advertising structures, information blocks, light pointers, light signs, in particular, can be used to create images mainly on the ground near airports, gas stations, shopping malls, high-rise LCD, etc., and on the water surface near the beaches of ports, etc.

Devices for information and advertising messages are widespread, surround us everywhere and can be made in the form of tablets, cabinets, signs, shields, banners, banners, buttons, dynamic displays, glowing laser, traveling wave. At the same time as a carrier of information and advertising devices use: gas stations, car washes and / or supermarkets, their buildings, architectural and engineering elements, freestanding structures, fuel-dispensing columns, functional buildings, the free territory of the filling complex (see RF patent for useful Model No. 21837, published on 20.02.2002). The use of specified places for advertising and messages allows you to expand the range of consumers of such information.

In the RF patent for useful model No. 137413, publ. 06/10/2013, a modular magnetic designer of light advertising and information signs was proposed. The constructor consists of modules made in the form of a hollow parallelepiped or any other shape. The side surfaces of the modules are made of magnetizable material. Inside each module are permanent magnets, due to the attraction of which the modules are fixed to each other. By applying the modules to each other side walls, the user collects the sign of the desired type. The back surface is made of a material that does not transmit light, such as PVC. LEDs can be installed on the back surface inside the module. On the back side of the rear surface there are devices in the form of: flat swivel hinges that can be extended, or threaded rods, or threaded holes, designed to fasten the entire signboard assembly to the supporting structures. On the back side of the rear surface there is also a connector for connecting the modules to an electrical circuit. The front surface of each module is made of a light-conducting dielectric material, for example, acrylic of different colors, on which a letter or other symbol is applied in a contrasting color, while the entire field outside the letter can be covered (painted or glued) with an opaque material of a different color. The front surface can be executed, both in flat, and in convex execution. Also, the front surface can be made of a dielectric light-proof material, in both flat and convex design, in which there are holes along the diameter of the diodes used, arranged as a letter or other symbol, and diodes are inserted into these holes. The front surface can be both removable and non-removable. The technical result from the use of the solution proposed in this patent is achieved by the industrial flow production of typical modules, from which then volumetric illuminated signs are assembled.

The disadvantage of the solution according to patent No. 137413 is the complexity of the design due to the mounting of magnets inside the module, the high cost of the product, the low strength of the connection between the modules with each other and with the supporting surface, due to the weak adhesive force of the magnets, and the limited size of the modules flat surface.

Patent of the Russian Federation for utility model No. 137413, publ. 06/10/2013, can be taken as a prototype of the proposed solution.

The technical result of the proposed solution is to increase the fixing strength of the modules due to the use of new fixing units, as well as reducing the complexity of manufacturing and assembling modular information and advertising structures by simplifying the technology of manufacturing and assembling a new fixing unit.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that in a modular information and advertising structure consisting of hollow modules made of polymeric materials in the form of polygons and connected by fixing nodes, the module fixing node is otherwise made. For this purpose, in the corners of each module, niches are made with protrusions-hooks on the upper and lower edges of the module, with the possibility of interaction with the fixing unit consisting of two interconnected parts.

The fixing unit may consist of two “wheel” shaped parts connected to each other with a threaded element, having a hub, pillar spokes and an outer hoop.

The fixing unit may consist of two parts connected in a threaded element in the form of a “bowl”.

Corner fixation units can be supplemented with fixing units along the perimeter of the module on its side faces.

The module can be made of a translucent material, a light source and / or heat source can be mounted inside the module, as well as a connector for power supply.

The fixing knots proposed in the claimed solution are simpler and cheaper to manufacture and assemble, and provide improved reliability of the module connection.

The proposed construction is illustrated by drawings, which show:

FIG. 1 - a general view of the module from above,

FIG. 2 - a general view of the module from below,

FIG. 3 - fixing unit of the 1st type,

FIG. 4 - fixing unit of the 2nd type,

FIG. 5 - the first type of assembly is “solid”,

FIG. 6 - the second type of assembly "with shift rows",

FIG. 7 - the third type of assembly “thinned-chess”.

The construction proposed in the invention consists of modules 1. Each module 1 is a hollow polygon made of a polymeric material. FIG. 1 and 2 presents the module 1, made in the form of a hollow parallelepiped. At each corner of the module on the front (top) and back (bottom) side there are niches 2 with hooks 3 in the form of a “hook”. Some modules additionally made the same hooks around the perimeter of the side faces.

The hooks of adjacent modules (Fig. 3, 4) are interconnected by fixing nodes. Each fixing unit consists of two interconnected parts 4. Depending on the conditions of use and production of a given structure, the fixing units can be structurally different.

The fixing unit of the 1st type (Fig. 3) consists of two parts in the shape of a wheel 4, having a hub, a spoke-rack and an outer hoop. "Wheels" 4 are fixed between a threaded element 5. Each hub has a hole for the threaded element 5, in the lower hub of the threaded element, in the upper hub - for the free passage of the threaded element.

The fixing unit of the 2nd type consists of two parts in the form of a bowl, interconnected by a threaded element 5.

In special cases, for example, in case of emergency repairs, the modules can be fastened together by interconnected loops (knots) of cable or wire knitting.

Hollow modules are made from polymeric materials. In the process of their manufacture, niches and protrusions are formed.

The locking elements 4 - "wheels" and "bowl" - can be made of metal, high-strength reinforced polymer or composite, which ensures their necessary strength.

Hollow modules can be made in any color. It is also possible to manufacture modules from a translucent material. In this case, inside the hollow module it is provided to mount a light source, for example, LEDs, as well as a connector for connecting the module to an electrical power source. To melt the snow, a heat source can be mounted in each module.

The front face of the modules can be supplemented with graphic elements (decorative overlays) 7 (Fig. 5-7) made of colored translucent or opaque material.

The design according to the invention is quite light, easy to assemble and disassemble. The design of the proposed modules can be placed on a horizontal plane, an inclined and / or non-planar surface with a deviation from the horizon of up to 45 °, and on a vertical surface using additional fastenings. The lightness and positive buoyancy of the modules allows them to be informational compositions on the water surface.

If the assembly of the modules is necessary to fix, then this can be implemented in different ways. For example, using elongated threaded elements 5, i.e. the lower ends of the elongated threaded elements 5 can be connected to any supporting structure mounted on the wall or roof of a building or on a steep slope. Mounting with wooden supports is possible, i.e. Wooden poles can be hammered into the earthen slope; This fastening can be strengthened by attaching the module to the poles using self-tapping screws, screwed from the front (upper) side of the module into the ends of the poles. If the structure lies loosely on a horizontal surface, then some hollow modules (for example, around the perimeter of the assembly) can be weighted down by filling them with sand, concrete or other inert material.

The connection of modules through hooks with the proposed clamps provides a kinematic chain that is strong in breaking and breaking, protecting the integrity of the collected image when exposed to natural factors such as wind, rainfall, floods, waves (if on the water surface), and allows you to repeat the curves of the relief within certain limits (if collected on the surface of the earth).

Assemblies of modules can be of several basic types: the first type is “solid” (Fig. 5), the second type is “with row shift” (Fig. 6), the third type is “thinned-checkerboard” (Fig. 7).

From the proposed constructions, it is possible to assemble various compositions, reproducing the principle of splitting a raster image into separate “pixels”, one “pixel” = one module. You can collect graphic compositions on various surfaces, for example, on the roofs or walls of residential buildings, various industrial, commercial and warehouse complexes, on vast areas around airports, gas stations, road junctions. Also, such information blocks can be laid out on the water, and be equipped with lighting.

Thus, the proposed design can be used to create bitmap images ranging in size from several tens to several hundred meters (X and Y axes), which allows them to be perceived from a great height and mainly in areas that are closed for permanent human visits.
