Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for presenting planar objects such as photographs, drawings, reproductions or other two-dimensional objects.
- Document GB 21 5 837 discloses a frame of photographs provided with leaf springs which press a photograph against the glass of the frame prohibiting any possibility of personalization of the object presented.
- Document US 4 261 1 22 describes a frame which makes it possible to hide objects behind a presented art object. Objects placed in the frame are therefore invisible.
- the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes a device for presenting objects in two dimensions making it possible to personalize the latter.
- the device concerned comprises in a manner known per se a frame, having a front face and a rear face, the rear face having on its inner edge a rebate in which are intended to be placed a transparent plate and a plate forming a rigid and opaque back, a two-dimensional object to be presented being inserted between these two plates and clamping means being provided for pressing the back plate against the rebate.
- the frame has positioning means located at a distance from the rebate on the side of the front face of the frame, and the device comprises a second transparent plate intended to be held by said positioning means and objects.
- decorative three-dimensional are placed in the space between the two transparent plates.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to produce a device for presenting planar objects such as photos or drawings in front of which are inserted three-dimensional decorative objects such as shells, pebbles, dry flowers or personal decorative objects such as letters, rings that personalize the presentation device and constitute an attractive decor complementing the object presented.
- the two transparent plates located at a distance from each other Thanks to the two transparent plates located at a distance from each other, the three-dimensional objects contained between them are not in contact with the photo or the exposed drawing so that these are protected from possible scratches.
- the frame consists of profiles each having a shoulder so that, when the profiles are assembled to form the frame, these shoulders form a rebate on the inner edge of the frame against which the transparent plate covering the object represented.
- the aforementioned positioning means consist of grooves arranged in the profiles constituting the frame, these grooves being shaped, when the profiles are assembled, to receive the edge of the plate covering the decorative three-dimensional objects.
- the edges of the transparent plate covering the decorative three-dimensional objects are inserted into the grooves provided in the profiles so that the plate is perfectly wedged in the frame.
- the positioning means consist of a shoulder, arranged in each of the profiles constituting the frame, against which the transparent plate bears and a spacer, one of the ends of which retains the transparent plate and the other end forms a rebate on the inner edge of the frame against which the first transparent plate rests.
- the presentation device comprises four wooden profiles assembled to form a quadrangular frame.
- the clamping means consist of deformable clamping tabs between an open position allowing the establishment of the transparent plate, the object to be presented and the bottom plate against the shoulder and a folded position pressing the bottom plate against the shoulder.
- the mobility of the clamping legs makes it possible to remove the assembly formed by the bottom plate, the image to be presented and the transparent plate to access the three-dimensional objects and thus to change the content.
- one of the profiles constituting the frame is removable allowing access to the space between the transparent plates.
- the device for presenting two-dimensional objects is part of an assembly comprising, in addition to itself, a part for its support in a position slightly inclined relative to the vertical.
- the support piece comprises a parallelepiped base surmounted by two stops parallel to one another and spaced apart from each other by a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the frame, between which the frame is inserted.
- the presentation device can be held in a simple manner in an almost vertical position.
- the two stops are of unequal heights, a stop of greater height against which the rear face of the frame rests, a stop of lower height against which the front face of the frame rests.
- the higher height of one of the stops relative to the other makes it possible to maintain a presentation device of a relatively large height without tilting the latter.
- At least one of the studs is located on the base set back relative to the end of the latter. This arrangement of the stops makes it possible to compensate for the moment of the force of gravity which is exerted at the center of gravity of the presentation device and tends to cause it to tilt.
- Figure 1 is a cutaway perspective view of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a sectional view of the invention during assembly.
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 after assembly.
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 5 is a sectional view of the assembly comprising the presentation device according to the invention and the support piece.
- the presentation device according to the invention comprises four wooden sections 1, the same lengths two by two, the ends of which are cut at a 45 ° bevel.
- Each profile has a shoulder 2 and a groove 3 parallel to the shoulder and located at a distance from the latter, as shown in section in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- Clamping tabs 4 are arranged on the edge of the shoulder 2 located in the plane perpendicular to the plane of the frame.
- the legs 4 are movable by deformation between an open position and a locking position.
- the four profiles are assembled, at their beveled ends, to form a frame 5 so that the shoulders 2 of each of the profiles are in the same plane and form an uninterrupted rebate 6 on the inner edge of the frame and that the grooves 3 are in the same plane.
- a transparent plate 8 is inserted into the grooves 3.
- the assembly of the fourth profile makes it possible to wedge the transparent plate 8.
- Three-dimensional objects 9 such as pebbles or shells can be placed against the transparent plate 8.
- a second transparent plate 10 comes to bear against the rebate 6 formed by the shoulders 2 of the profiles 1 thus trapping the objects 9 between the two transparent plates 8 and 10.
- a planar object 1 1 to be presented such as a photo or a drawing is placed between the transparent plate 10 and an opaque bottom plate 1 2.
- the tabs 4 are then folded over the plate 1 2 to retain against the rebate 6 the assembly formed by the plate 1 2, the flat object to be exposed 1 1 and the transparent plate 10.
- FIG 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention, in which each section 1 has a shoulder 1 5 so that when the sections 1 are assembled the shoulders 1 5 are in the same plane.
- the transparent plate 8 bears against the shoulders 1 5.
- a spacer 1 6 is disposed against the face of each profile 1 facing the inside of the frame 5, so that one end of the spacer 1 6 retains the transparent plate 8 and the other end forms a rebate 6 uninterrupted against which the transparent plate 10 comes to bear.
- the volume thus defined between the transparent plate 8 and the transparent plate 10 makes it possible to receive objects 9 which personalize and enrich the object presented which is behind the transparent plate 10.
- the presentation device is arranged on a support piece.
- This includes a rectangular base 1 3 surmounted by two stops parallel to one another and of unequal heights, a stop 14 of height greater than that of a second stop 1 5.
- the stop 1 4 is located set back from the end of the base.
- the presentation device can be placed on the support piece so that the rear face of the device bears against the stop 14 and the front face of the latter is retained by the stop 1 5.
- the invention thus provides a planar object presentation device which allows the personalization of the planar object presented by three-dimensional objects while being of a structure easy to produce industrially. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but that it embraces, on the contrary, all the variant embodiments.
