Definitions

• the present invention relates to an advertising support device which can be fixed on the roof of a vehicle.
• the devices produced to date are generally designed to be used by vehicles at a standstill or traveling at reduced speed. They are most often formed from one or more metallic panels or mounted on a metallic frame and rigidly fixed. They are therefore heavy, bulky, when used, and of a high cost price.
• the device according to the present invention eliminates all these drawbacks. In fact, it makes it possible to produce very inexpensive advertising panels, with a very small footprint once dismantled, easy to install and remove and which can be used at high speed.
• a bendable fastening system composed of one or more magnetic rubber elements fixed under the advertising support, on the other hand, of a foldable rectangular panel made of a translucent multilayer plastic material. or opaque similar to corrugated cardboard and comprising three folds parallel to one of its sides delimiting three surfaces of different width and a flap making it possible to form a tubular structure whose section is a substantially rectangle triangle, the flap comprising on its length at least two hooking elements formed of loop pile and hooks, corresponding to as many elements of the same type provided at the edge of the opposite surface said flap once the device folded.
• Figures 1 and 2 show the fixing system seen from above and below respectively.
• Figure 3 shows the foldable panel laid flat for storage.
• Figure L shows the mounted device, seen in perspective.
• Figure 5 shows the device mounted, placed on the roof of a vehicle.
• FIG. 6 shows an alternative embodiment with a magnetic rubber band fixed directly to the foldable panel.
• Figure 7 shows the foldable panel according to Figure 6 laid flat for storage.
• Figure 8 is detail A of Figure 6, enlarged.
• FIGS. 1 to 5 consists of a foldable rectangular panel 1 and a fixing plate 9.
• the foldable panel 1 is made of a known plastic material, translucent or opaque, composed of a corrugated layer caught between two flat layers. Three folds 2, 3,, parallel to one of the sides, are marked on the panel so as to delimit three rectangular surfaces 5, 6, 7 and a flap 8 whose length is slightly less than the width of the vehicle. Self-adhesive fastening elements 20, 21 in velvet with loops and hooks are mounted on the flap 8 and at the edge of the opposite surface 5.
• the panel 1 is folded to form a tubular structure having a section in the shape of a right triangle (FIGS. 1 and 6), by folding the flap 8 over the surface opposite to it 5 so that the elements of self-adhesive attachment 21 of the surface 5 correspond to the same elements of the flap 8.
• the fixing plate 9 is preferably a rectangular plate of the same material as the foldable panel 1, but any semi-rigid sheet material can be used, in particular mild steel, and the shape can be arbitrary. Said fixing plate 9 is provided on its underside with one or more magnetic rubber elements 13, 14. In FIG. 2, these elements consist of a front strip 13 and a rear strip 14, but their number and their shape can vary.
• the foldable panel 1 is held on the fixing plate 9 by a joining zone 15, obtained by gluing, welding or any other means, sufficiently narrow to allow the fixing plate 9 to match the shape of the roof 18 of the vehicle without lead to deformation of the foldable panel 1.
• the fixing plate 9 is made of insulating material
• a sheet of mild steel of the same shape as the magnetic elements 13, 14 and about 1 mm thick is interposed between them and said plate fixing, in order to increase their efficiency.
• the panel 1 is placed on the roof 18 of a vehicle with the magnetic strip 13 towards the front, and the flap 8 towards the rear, the surface 7 contiguous to the latter being substantially vertical, the intermediate surface 6 inclined, tending to press the device on the roof of the vehicle at high speed.
• the panel 1 can be folded in both directions, the device is reversible. Therefore, surfaces 6 and 7 can receive texts or advertising or other designs on one or two sides.
• the material constituting the panel 1 is translucent, it is possible to provide lighting consisting for example of a light source powered by a battery or the vehicle battery and arranged inside the panel 1 folded.
• the panel 1 is fixed by a magnetic rubber band 10 mounted directly over the entire length of the edge of the surface 5 carrying the self-adhesive fastening elements 21, on the opposite side to these.
• a strip of mild steel 11 of the same width, approximately 1 mm thick, is interposed between said surface 5 and the magnetic rubber strip 10, in order to increase its effectiveness.
• the edge 12 of the intermediate surface 6 located opposite the flap 8 is crushed over a width of a few centimeters when manufacturing the foldable panel 1.
• the panel 1 is fixed to the roof of the vehicle by means of two fixings, each consisting of an elastic cable provided at one of its ends with a hook and at the other end with a articulated cylindrical part which can be parallel to the cable for threading or be perpendicular to it for blocking.
• the panel 1 is folded and the fixings are passed respectively through four holes drilled at the corners of the said panel and equipped with metallic or plastic reinforcement eyes, then blocked by means of the articulated cylindrical part. Thanks to its extremely low cost price compared to known devices, thanks to its very small storage space, thanks to its great ease of assembly and disassembly, the device which has just been described lends itself particularly well. to massive use for advertising campaigns or for sporting or other events.
