Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices for displaying objects.
  • the invention relates to a device for presenting objects, said device comprising:
  • Document FR 2 809 943 describes an example of such a device.
  • the display panel is hinged by means of separate elements mounted behind the surface of the display panel, which induces considerable stresses in those elements, in particular when large weights are placed on the surface of the display panel, in the vicinity of its edges.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to mitigate that drawback.
  • a device of the type in question is characterized in that the coupling means are disposed at least in part between said top face and said bottom face of the display panel.
  • the moment of force induced at the coupling by any type of object at the surface of the display panel is small.
  • the display panel is thus more robust and more stable.
  • FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a device of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic perspective view of an object support module
  • FIG. 3 a is a section view of the FIG. 2 module
  • FIG. 3 b is a corresponding section view of the board
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the top portion of the leg
  • FIG. 5 is a partially exploded perspective view of a plate mounted on the leg
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the board mounted on the plate.
  • FIG. 7 is a front perspective view of the FIG. 1 device in another angular position.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a device of the invention.
  • the device of the invention comprises a display panel standing on a leg 2 which is itself optionally disposed on a base 3 standing on the floor.
  • the display panel 1 is shown in FIG. 1 as being inclined up from the horizontal at an angle equal to about 60°.As explained below, the device is provided with a suitable mechanism for enabling the display panel to be disposed at any desired inclination relative to the horizontal within a range of inclinations that can, in particular, include a position in which the display panel is disposed horizontally.
  • the display panel of the example is in the shape of a rectangular block with thickness that is small compared with its width W and with its height H. It thus has a mean geometric plane (x; z) that is substantially parallel to its top and bottom main faces.
  • the invention could however be applied to display panels whose top or bottom faces have other shapes, e.g. undulating or convex shapes.
  • the display panel described herein comprises, in particular, a plate 22 ( FIG. 5 ) and a rigid support board 4 which is in the shape of a rectangular block, which is mounted on the plate 22 , and on which object support modules 5 are mounted removably.
  • the object support modules are fastened to the top face 4 a of the support board 4 so as to cover it in part or in full, and they are also in the shape of rectangular or square blocks, of length a and of width b.
  • the modules are rectangular and of length a equal to twice their width b.
  • Two modules placed side-by-side with their lengths contiguous then constitute a square storage space 11 (shown in dashed lines; in FIG. 1 ).
  • Objects 6 , 7 to be displayed are fastened removably or permanently to said modules 5 .
  • FIG. 1 Objects 6 , 7 to be displayed
  • modules situated in the bottom left corner and the two modules situated in the bottom right corner of the figure carry objects 6 , 7 , such as, for example, pencils or sticks 6 , powder samples 7 , lipstick tubes, flasks or other elements.
  • Certain modules can also carry advertising placards, mirrors, or other elements.
  • a certain number of modules have been removed from the top right corner of the display panel 1 so as to make it possible to see the board 4 even though, in normal use, the board is often entirely covered with such modules.
  • the board 4 can have a regular ordered array of fastening patterns 8 disposed, for example, at a density of two per module.
  • These fastening patterns are, for example, in the form of hollow cylinders provided in the board 4 , each cylinder being provided in its center with a fastening guide 10 in the form of a spike fastened to the end wall of the cylinder and extending, for example, towards the top face 4 a of the board 4 .
  • the fastening patterns do not necessarily have fastening guides 10 and are not necessarily cylindrical.
  • the fastening patterns are disposed in uniform and ordered manner on the board 4 .
  • the same module is held by means of first and second fastening patterns disposed in line along the length of the module, it is possible, in particular, to make provision so that, within the same storage space containing two such modules whose lengths are contiguous, the longitudinal distance between the fastening patterns of the same module is equal to the distance between the first fastening patterns of each of the modules.
  • a support module can thus be fastened in two positions relative to the display panel: by being aligned either with the length of the display panel or with the width thereof.
  • FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of a support module of the invention.
  • the front face 51 of the support module serves to receive the articles to be displayed.
  • Its rear face 52 is provided with two fastening patterns 12 of shape complementary to the shape of the fastening patterns provided in the board 4 .
  • the fastening patterns 12 are in the form of two cylinders 12 a disposed, for example, on the central line of the module, and each provided at its center with a recess 12 b adapted to receive the fastening guide 10 .
  • FIG. 3 a shows such a module in section on the central line of FIG. 2 .
  • the front face 51 is provided with wells 13 adapted to receive pencils 6 or other objects to be displayed, as lying down or as upright (on the right of FIG. 3 a, a well 13 is shown as empty).
  • the objects to be displayed are, for example, inserted by a user into the wells 13 so as to be held rigidly relative to the object support module by interfitting.
  • the fastening face 52 of the object support module 5 is provided with two fastening patterns 12 as described above. Fastening can be achieved simultaneously or in alternation by co-operation between magnetic elements disposed as shown in FIGS. 3 a and 3 b which shows a portion of the board 4 that is facing the module 8 shown in FIG. 3 a.
  • a first magnetized layer 14 is disposed in the vicinity of the bottom face of the module 5 .
  • the top face of the board 4 is provided with a second magnetized layer 15 of magnetization complementary to the first layer, or provided with ferromagnetic elements.
  • FIG. 4 shows the top portion of the leg 2 , which portion is masked by the display panel in FIG. 1 .
  • the leg 2 extends, for example, vertically along the axis (v).
  • Its top portion carries an arm 16 extending, for example, vertically upwards from the leg 2 and having an opening 17 , e.g. of ovoid shape, extending horizontally through the thickness of the arm about a horizontal axis (u).
  • a shaft 18 is mounted in the opening 17 in stationary manner and symmetrically relative to the arm.
  • the shaft 18 has a central portion that is complementary to the opening 17 , and from which a rod extends on either side that has a first cylindrical portion 19 of smooth surface and then a second cylindrical portion 20 of larger diameter and carrying teeth 21 over all or some of its periphery.
  • the display panel is mounted on the leg via a plate 22 shown in perspective in FIG. 5 .
  • the rear face of the plate shown in FIG. 5 faces towards the leg 2 .
  • the rear face of the plate 22 is of circular shape and is provided with a central recess 23 inside which the inner portions 24 of two bearings are fixed that have teeth 25 complementary to the teeth 21 on the shaft 18 .
  • the plate 22 is also provided with a certain number of through holes 26 , e.g. of cylindrical shape, provided at regular angular intervals around the periphery of the plate.
  • the front face (not shown in FIG. 5 ) of the plate is, for example, plane and smooth.
  • the teeth 21 on the shaft 18 co-operating with the complementary teeth 25 of the inner portions 24 of the two bearings, outer portions 30 of the bearings also having matching teeth 31 are fastened to the inner portions 24 so as to surround the shaft 18 at least in part.
  • fastening can be achieved by tightening screws (not shown) into tapped bores 32 in the bearings.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the board 4 as seen from the rear.
  • the board is provided with a recessed central zone 27 of shape complementary to the shape of the plate 22 , on which it can thus be mounted.
  • a ball bearing system 28 is mounted at the periphery of the central zone so as to enable the board to pivot relative to the plate 22 .
  • Balls 29 are disposed at the end wall of the recess at regular angular intervals. For example, two balls are disposed in diametrically opposite manner.
  • a spring holds each ball in a deployed position in which it projects relative to the central zone 27 . Each ball can however be retracted fully into the board against the thrust from the spring, in a retracted position.
  • the balls 29 are adapted to engage in the holes 26 of the plate when said plate is mounted in the central zone 27 and thus to prevent the board 4 from pivoting relative to the plate 22 .
  • the board is free to turn relative to the plate 22 until the balls 29 engage in other holes 26 corresponding to the board being in another angular position.
  • the board is adapted to be suitable for turning about a pivot axis (y) that is normal to the mean plane (x; z) of the display panel, and to be suitable for being locked in a certain number of positions such as those shown in FIGS. 1 and 7 .
  • the board of FIG. 7 has turned through 90° about the pivot axis (y).
  • the modules have been rearranged on the display surface.
  • the modules 5 of the storage space 11 for receiving the pencils 6 have been turned through 90° about the axis (y) in the opposite direction relative to the direction in which the board has pivoted, and said modules are disposed in the bottom left corner of the display panel 1 in a new angular position.
  • the modules 5 of the storage space 11 for receiving powders 7 have been turned through the same angle and in the same direction and have been disposed in the bottom right corner of the display panel.
  • Each storage space can thus be disposed identically relative to an external observer, by causing the module to pivot relative to the display panel through an angle equal to the pivot angle through which the board is pivoted relative to the leg, in the opposite direction.
  • the display panel can also be inclined relative to the vertical over a broad range of inclinations.
  • the plate 22 must be mounted at the desired inclination on the shaft 18 , the teeth 25 , 31 of the bearings co-operating with the teeth 21 of the shaft 18 .
  • the toothed angular sectors of the shaft 18 and of the bearings define the available range of inclinations.
