Description

ATTACHMENT ARRANGEMENT AND USE THEREOF FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an attachment arrangement for mounting pictures, and the use of such an arrangement for mounting pictures.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Prior art solutions to mounting pictures in for example stores include plastic pockets in which the printed picture is inserted, after which the plastic pocket is hung up in wires extending from the ceiling of the store. One problem with such solutions is the use of plastic. Generally, stores and advertisers seek to reduce their plastic usage in order to become more environmentally aligned. Furthermore, arranging the pictures in plastic pockets often lead to the pictures sagging, and becoming less-than-optimal carriers of the intended message. Thus, a solution that removes the use of plastic and which reduces the risk of the pictures being unevenly hung is needed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION lt is an object of the present invention to alleviate at least some of the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to provide an attachment arrangement that allows for mounting of pictures without using plastic pockets. This and other objects, which will become apparent in the following, are accomplished by an attachment arrangement and a use thereof as defined in the accompanying independent claims.
The term exemplary should in this application be understood as serving as an example, instance or illustration. Any spatial references such as up, down, inner, outer, top, bottom, front, back, etc., are to be interpreted from the intended orientation of use of the arrangement. ln the following, the term pictures is used broadly to refer to all manner of printed information carriers, such as posters, brochures, etc.
The present invention is at least partially based on the realisation that an attachment arrangement according to the present invention eliminates the need for plastic pockets altogether. This is beneficial, as the pictures mounted with the attachment arrangement of the present invention are hung more evenly and the use of plastic is reduced.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, an attachment arrangement for mounting pictures is provided. The attachment device comprises a clamping profile having a first arm and a second arm, wherein each one of said arms has a magnetic clamping surface. The first and second arm are rotatably connected to each other, and the arms of the clamping profile are movable between a clamping position, in which the two magnetic clamping surfaces are parallel and adjacent to each other, and wherein the magnetic clamping surface of the two arms are attracted to each other such that a clamping force is exerted, and a re|easing position, in which the two magnetic clamping surfaces are separated from each other such that the picture may be inserted into the clamping profile. The attachment arrangement further comprises a locking profile having an opening for receiving the picture, and walls defining a locking space inside of which a locking body is freely arranged. The locking body is shaped such that it is prevented from exiting though the opening, and is arranged for frictional engagement with the picture.
The attachment arrangement of the first aspect of the present invention allows for a user, such as a store or an advertiser, to display printed images without having to put the picture in a plastic pocket. Furthermore, the clamping profile ensures that the picture is held straight and that no warping due to sagging of the picture occurs, as they risk to do when supported from underneath and the sides.
The locking profile synergizes with the clamping profile by allowing the top edge of the picture to self-lock once a pulling force is applied to the picture. The pulling force is applied through the weight of the clamping profile.
Furthermore, by having the locking body be freely arranged inside the locking space, it does not matter on which side of the locking body that the picture is inserted. Should the locking body have been connected to the locking profile, e.g. by means of a spring biased lever or similar, then there would have been a right side and a wrong side for the insertion of the picture into the locking space. This simplifies the use of the attachment arrangement in mounting a picture.
By having magnetic clamping surfaces, between which a lower edge of the picture may be held, a simplified use of the attachment arrangement is achieved. This arrangement reduces the risk that the lower edge of the picture is crumpled or folded, as the user has full access to the entire length thereof up until the point where the clamping profile is moved to its clamping position.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the locking body is arranged such that the picture may be inserted through said opening and thereby be arranged between the walls of the locking profile and the locking body such that application of a force to the picture in a direction out of the locking space causes the locking body to frictionally engage the picture.
This means that the locking body self-locks when a force is applied to a picture held thereby in a direction away from the locking space.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the locking space is funnel shaped.
This means that the portion of the locking space located closest the opening has a smaller cross-sectional area than the portion of the locking space located further in. As such, the freely arranged locking body may move around inside the locking space without risking to fall out. Furthermore, the funnel-shaped locking space acts as a guide for the locking body, causing it to fall in place at a predetermined position once the locking profile held in its intended use position. Thus, a simplified use of the attachment arrangement is enabled.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the locking body has a smallest measurement in a height-width plane that is larger than the size of the opening of the locking profile, thus preventing it from exiting therethrough. Thus, the only way for the locking body to enter or exit the Iocking space is through movement in a longitudinal direction of the locking profile.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, an outer surface of the Iocking body has a curvature that corresponds to a curvature of at least a portion of an inner surface of the walls of the Iocking profile.
That the curvature of the outer surface of the Iocking body correspond to the curvature of a portion of the inner surface of the walls means that the contact area between the two is larger than what it would have been had the curvature of the two not corresponded. ln other words, the two surfaces have approximately the same radius of curvature, preferably no more than a 20 % difference between the two.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the Iocking body has a triangular cross-section. The triangular cross-section should be interpreted as including a shape defined by three points that are joined by three convexly curved edges.
Alternatively, the Iocking body has a round cross-section. Round cross- section is to be interpreted as including both circular and elliptical cross- sections.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the Iocking body is rotationally symmetric. Thus, misalignment of the Iocking body due to it being freely arranged inside the Iocking space is prevented.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the arms of the clamping profile comprises an abutment that limits an opening angle of the arms of the clamping profile to no more than 30-60°, preferably no more than 35-55°, most preferably no more than 40-50°. Having the opening angle of the arms be around 45° has proven to be beneficial, as a simplified use of the clamping profile and thus the attachment arrangement is achieved.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, at least one of an outer surface of the Iocking body and an inner surface of the walls of the Iocking profile has friction increasing means configured to increase the friction between the surface and the picture.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the friction increasing means is a geared, toothed or rough surface, or a layer of a flexible material having a high coefficient of friction.
By having either the outer surface of the locking body or the inner surface of the walls of the locking profile have friction increasing means configured to increase the friction between the surface and the picture allows for a more secure attachment of the picture in the locking profile. Thus, the risk of the picture slipping out of the frictional engagement with the locking body is reduced.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the locking profile comprises a widening portion at the opening thereof. Thus, a guiding function is achieved which simplifies insertion of the picture into the locking space.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, a top portion of the locking profile comprises an attachment track arranged to receive an attachment member for connecting the attachment arrangement to a ceiling.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, said attachment track comprises a recessed groove for connecting a fastening member therethrough. The fastening members used may for example be screws or nails. This ensures that the fastening members are inserted at a correct position in the wall section on which the attachment arrangement is arranged. Alternatively, a connection member such as a loop, ring or hook that is arranged on a base arranged to slide inside the attachment track may be connected thereto by means of the fastening members. Thus, the attachment arrangement may be hung from a ceiling with the desired distance between the chains or wires supporting the attachment arrangement.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the locking profile comprises a wall attachment space arranged to receive the top portion of a wall section to which the attachment arrangement is to be connected. Thus, the attachment arrangement may be arranged on a wall section or similar.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the portion of the locking profile that defines the wall attachment space comprises a recessed groove for connecting a fastening member therethrough.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the attachment arrangement further comprises a second opening, a second locking space and a second locking body. Thus, two pictures may be arranged opposite each other, with a space between them. According to one example embodiment, a light source may be arranged inside said space such that the pictures arranged in the two locking spaces are lit from behind.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the second opening, second locking space, and second locking body are all functionally identical to the opening, locking space and locking body defined in the first aspect of the present invention.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the two locking spaces are arranged on opposite sides of the attachment track and share a center wall.
According to one example embodiment of the present invention, the two locking spaces are arranged on opposite sides of the wall attachment space.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, a use of an attachment arrangement according to the first aspect of the invention is provided. The use comprises the steps of: inserting the top edge of a picture through the opening of the locking profile, such that the picture is provided between the wall of the locking profile and the locking body; arranging the bottom edge of the picture between the two magnetic clamping surfaces when the clamping profile is in its releasing position; causing the clamping profile to move to its clamping position so that the two magnetic clamping surfaces attract and frictionally engage the bottom edge of the picture; exerting a downward directed pulling force on the picture such that the locking body frictionally engages the picture and the walls of the Iocking profile, thus Iocking the top edge of the picture in place inside the Iocking space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS ln the following detailed description, some embodiments of the present invention will be described. However, it is to be understood that features of the different embodiments are exchangeable between the embodiments and may be combined in different ways, unless anything else is specifically indicated. Even though in the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. ln other instances, well known constructions or functions are not described in detail, so as not to obscure the present invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an attachment arrangement 1 according to the first aspect of the present invention. The attachment arrangement 1 comprises a clamping profile 100, preferably an extruded metal profile, having a first arm 101 and a second arm 102. Each one of the two arms 101, 102 has a magnetic clamping surface 103, arranged such that the two arms 101, 102 may clamp together using magnetic force. The first and second arm 101, 102 are rotatably connected to each other by means of a cylinderjoint 104. The two arms 101, 102 of the clamping profile 100 are movable between a clamping position, shown in Figure 1 and 2a, in which the magnetic clamping surfaces 103 are parallel and adjacent to each other in a way such that they are attracted to each other, thereby exerting a magnetic clamping force, and a releasing position, shown in Figure 2b, in which the two magnetic clamping surfaces 103 are separated from each other such that a picture 300 may be inserted into the clamping profile 100. The cylinderjoint 104 of the two arms 101, 102 of the clamping profile 100 comprises an abutment 105 that limits an opening angle of the arms 101, 102 of the clamping profile 100 to no more than approximately 45°, thus simplifying the use of the clamping profile 100 by limiting its movement.
The attachment arrangement 1 further comprises a locking profile 200, also preferably provided as an extruded metal profile, having an opening 201 for receiving the picture 300 and walls 202 that define a locking space 203. Inside the locking space 203, a cylindrical locking body 400 is freely arranged. The locking body 400 will be described in greater detail below. The opening 201 preferably has a width of approximately 5 mm, which is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical locking body 400. The diameter of the cylindrical locking body 400 is approximately 10 mm. ln other words, the locking body 400 is shaped and dimensioned such that it is prevented from exiting though the opening 201. Thus, the only way for the locking body 400 to enter or exit the locking space 203 is through movement in a longitudinal direction of the locking profile 200.
The locking space 203 is funnel shaped in the sense that the portion of the locking space 203 located closest the opening 201 has a smaller cross- sectional area than the portion of the locking space 203 located further in. As the locking profile 200 is intended to be oriented as illustrated in Figure 1, with the opening 201 facing downwards such that the locking body 400 falls to the bottom of the funnel and rests at the opening 201 thereof, this means that the locking body 400 self-locks when a force is applied to a picture 300 held thereby in a direction away from the locking space 203. The locking body 400 does this by being pulled by the picture 300 such that it tries to move out of the funnel-shaped locking space 203, thus increasing the pressure between an inside surface 204 of the walls 202 thereof and an outer surface 401 of the locking body 400. Furthermore, an inner surface 204 of the funnel-shaped locking space 203 acts as a guide for the locking body 400, causing it to fall in place at a predetermined position once the locking profile 200 is held in its intended use position. Thus, a simplified use of the attachment arrangement 1 is enabled. ln summary, the locking body 400 is arranged such that the picture 300 may be inserted through the opening 201 and between the walls 202 of the locking profile 200 and the locking body 400. Once this is done, application of a force to the picture 300 in a direction out of the locking space 203 causes the Iocking body 400 to frictionally engage the picture 300 and an inner surface 204 of the walls 202 of the Iocking profile 200. As such, the Iocking body 400 is arranged for frictional engagement with the picture 300.
A top portion 205 of the Iocking profile comprises an attachment track 206 arranged to receive a connection member for connecting the attachment arrangement 1 to a ceiling. This may for example be done by means of a connection member such as a loop, ring or hook that is arranged on a base, wherein the base of the connection member is arranged to slide inside the attachment track 206 and may be connected thereto by means of the fastening members. Thus, the attachment arrangement 1 may be hung from a ceiling with the desired distance between the chains or wires supporting the attachment arrangement 1.
Figure 2a is a perspective view of the clamping profile 100 of the attachment arrangement 1 of Figure 1 in its clamping position. Here, the magnetic clamping surfaces 103 are parallel and adjacent to each other in a way such that they are attracted to each other, thereby exerting a magnetic clamping force on the picture 300 arranged therebetvveen.
Figure 2b is a perspective view of the clamping profile of the attachment arrangement 1 of Figure 1 in its releasing position. Here, the two arms 101, 102 have been rotated about the cylindrical joint 104 to their maximum opening degree determined by the abutment 105, such that the magnetic clamping surfaces 103 are separated from each other. This enables a user to insert a picture 300 into the space between the magnetic clamping surfaces 103 of the clamping profile 100.
Figures 3a-f are perspective views of different embodiments of the Iocking profile 200 of the first aspect of the present invention. Figure 3a illustrates a Iocking profile 200a that is identical to that of Figure 1, with the following exceptions. The Iocking profile 200a comprises a widening portion 207 at the opening 201 thereof, such that a guiding function is achieved which simplifies insertion of the picture 300 into the Iocking space 203.
Figures 3b, 3d and 3f all illustrate Iocking profiles 200b, 200d, 200f that 3b, 3d, 3f are identical to that of Figure 1, with the following exceptions. The Iocking profiles 200b, 200d, 200f illustrated each comprises a wall attachment 11 space 208 arranged to receive the top portion of a wall section to which the attachment arrangement 1 is to be connected. Thus, the attachment arrangement 1 may be arranged on a wall section or similar. The portion of the locking profile 200b, 200d, 200f that defines the wall attachment space 208 further comprises a recessed groove 209 for connecting a fastening member therethrough. The fastening members used may for example be screws or nails. The recessed groove 209 ensures that the fastening members are inserted at a correct position in the wall section on which the attachment arrangement 1 is arranged. The locking profile 200b does not comprise an attachment track 206. lnstead, the recessed groove 209 is arranged directly on top of the locking profile 200b.
Figure 3c illustrate a locking profile 200c that comprises neither attachment track 206, wall attachment space 208, or recessed groove 209. The locking profile 200c illustrated herein is intended to be attached to a wall, windowpane or similar by means of magnets, glue or tape on the back side of one of the walls 202 defining the locking space 203.
Figures 3e and 3f illustrate locking profiles 200e, 200f that further comprises a second opening 201 ', a second locking space 203' and a second locking body 400'. Thus, two pictures 300 may be arranged opposite each other. For the locking profile 200f, where the second opening 201', second locking space 203' and second locking body 400' are spaced apart from the first opening 201, locking space 203 and locking body 400 by the wall attachment space 208, a light source 210 may be arranged inside wall attachment space 208, connected to the locking profile 200f such that the pictures 300 are lit from behind. As is clear from Figures 3e and 3f, the second opening 201', second locking space 203', and second locking body 400' are all functionally identical to the opening 201, locking space 203 and locking body 400 described in relation to the previous figures. ln Figure 3e, the two locking spaces 201, 201' are arranged on opposite sides of the attachment track 206 and share a center wall 211 separating them. ln Figure 3e, the two locking spaces 201, 201' are arranged on opposite sides of the wall attachment space 208 as described above. 12 Figure 4a is a schematic side view illustrating the use of the attachment arrangement 1 in mounting a picture 300, in which view the picture 300 has yet to be inserted into the Iocking profile 200.
The outer surface 401 of the Iocking body 400 has a curvature that corresponds to the curvature of the inner surface 204 of the walls 202 of the Iocking profile 200, meaning that the Iocking body 400 has a convex outer surface 401, and the inner surface 204 of the walls 202 is concave, such that the contact area between the two is larger than what it would have been e.g. the inner surface of the wall been straight. The Iocking body 400 has a cross- section that is defined by three points joined by three convexly curved edges.
By having the Iocking body be freely arranged inside the Iocking space, it does not matter on which side of the Iocking body that the picture is inserted. ln Figure 4b, the top edge of the picture 300 is inserted into the opening 201 of the Iocking profile 200 such that the picture 300 is provided between the wall 202 of the Iocking profile 200 and the Iocking body 400, and the bottom edge of the picture 300 is arranged between the magnetic clamping surfaces 103 of the clamping profile 100 when in its releasing position.
By having magnetic clamping surfaces 103, between which a lower edge of the picture 300 is held, a simplified use of the attachment arrangement 1 is achieved. This arrangement reduces the risk that the lower edge of the picture 300 is crumpled or folded, as the user has full access to the entire length thereof up until the point where the clamping profile 100 is moved to its clamping position.
After this, the user causes the clamping profile 100 to move to its clamping position by rotating the two arms 101, 102 thereof so that the two magnetic clamping surfaces 103 attract each other and frictionally engage the bottom edge of the picture 300.
Figure 4c is a schematic side view illustrating the use of the attachment arrangement 1 in mounting a picture, in which a downward directed pulling force is exerted on the picture 300 such that the Iocking body 400 frictionally engages the picture 300 and the walls 202 of the Iocking profile 200, thus Iocking the top edge of the picture 300 in place inside the Iocking space 203. 13 The Iocking profile 200 synergizes with the clamping profile 100 by allowing the top edge of the picture 300 to self-lock once a pulling force is applied to the picture 300. The pulling force is applied at least in part through the weight of the clamping profile 100.
Figures 5a-c are schematic views illustrating the use of an embodiment of the attachment arrangement 1 in mounting a picture 300. ln the illustrated embodiment, the Iocking body 400 is round and the outer surface 401 thereof has friction increasing means 500 configured to increase the friction between the outer surface 401 and the picture 300. The friction increasing means 500 illustrated is a toothed surface, having a high coefficient of friction than a smooth surface of the same type would have had. Thus, a more secure attachment of the picture 300 in the Iocking profile 200 is achieved. This reduces the risk of the picture 300 slipping out of the frictional engagement with the Iocking body 400.
The person skilled in the art realizes that the present invention by no means is limited to the embodiments described above. The features of the described embodiments may be combined in different ways, and many modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the appended claims. ln the claims, any reference signs placed between parentheses shall not be construed as limiting to the claim. The word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps than those listed in the claim.
