Definitions

• the present invention relates to the production of a decor device with reliefs in three dimensions and various objects incorporating one or more decorating devices with reliefs in three dimensions.
• Decorative views with reliefs are usually made by gluing different overlapping pieces. These views, however, lack depth of field and therefore do not have a relief and a natural aspect in the space because they are cut in the same image or illustration.
• An object of the present invention is the production of a decor device which presents perspectives with reliefs and a depth aspect close to reality.
• the decor device with reliefs consists of several decorative pieces each comprising at least one decorative element integral with a peripheral edge and an opening extending between the outline of the decorative element and the peripheral edge , the decor pieces being held in different planes spaced apart from each other within a frame by spacer elements arranged along at least a portion of the peripheral edge of each piece of decor.
• the spacers may be attached or integral with one or more peripheral edges of the decor pieces.
• the intermediate elements are integral with the frame.
• This device is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. It can be used in various applications. It may, for example, be suitable as a decorative object to hang or pose, as a collector's item, a toy for children, a gift item, a gift wrapping accessory, etc. It can also be incorporated into various objects such as box or container, for example.
• the invention therefore also relates to the production of boxes or containers incorporating one or more decoration devices with reliefs according to the invention.
• Such relief device with reliefs may for example be arranged on the bottom of a box for containing any objects, such as chocolates, sweets or other small items, thus filling the inside of the box with a decorative piece.
• the embossed decor device may also be incorporated into or form one or more sidewalls and / or the lid of any box or container.
• the or each decorative device with reliefs may be incorporated so that the relief decoration elements are visible in an opening in the wall and / or the lid of the box or container, as the case may be .

• Each decorative piece 12 has at least one decorative element 14 having a contour which may be different from that of the other decorative elements 14.
• the front face of the decorative elements 14 is ornamented with an illustration or decorated so that the decorative elements together form any desired decoration.
• FIG 3 there is shown the various parts that form the decoration shown in Figure 1.
• Each piece of decor 12 has one or more decorative elements 14 which are integral with a peripheral edge 15 and which s 'extend in the same plane as the corresponding peripheral border.
• the cutout between the outline of a decorative element 14 and the peripheral edge 15 associated therewith forms an opening 16.
• the opening 16 extends between the contours of the elements.
• Each piece of decoration 12 is advantageously made from a flat sheet, of any suitable material, cut to define one or more decorative elements 14 and a portion of its peripheral edge 15. Certain decorative elements 14 may be pierced with openings such as 14a depending on the decor shown.
• the decorative pieces 12 are held in different planes inside the frame 11 by means of spacers or spacers 17 which extend between the peripheral edges 15 of the surrounding decor pieces 12 and which keep the latter apart. one of the other so that the various elements of decoration 14 are offset according to the depth of the frame 11.
• the opening 16 of each of the decorative pieces 12 reveals the decorative elements 14 of the decorative pieces located behind it.
• the frame within which the decorative pieces 12 of the device 10 and the spacers or spacers 17 are held can be made in various ways and in different suitable materials.
• the frame is of parallelepipedal shape and formed by assembling four elements 11a-11d which integrate the spacer elements intended to hold the decor elements apart from each other. 'other. When assembled, each of these elements 11a-11d forms one side of the frame.
• Each element or side of the frame has on the inside a plurality of longitudinal grooves 18, each groove being intended to receive one side of the peripheral edge 15 of a decorative piece 12.
• the parts 17 of the sides of the frame, which extend between the grooves 18 constitute the intermediate elements which ensure the desired spacing between the adjacent decor pieces.
• the aforementioned grooves can be formed between interposed elements 17 attached to or retained against the inner face of each side of the frame.
• the intermediate elements may for example be made in the form of pins that extend between two peripheral edges 15 of neighboring decor pieces 12.
• FIG. 5 illustrates the placing of the decorative pieces 12 inside the frame 11 of FIG. 4.
• the drawing shows two pieces of decoration 12 and the bottom 13.
• a first piece of decoration 12 is represented with two opposite sides its peripheral edge 15 engaged in two corresponding grooves 18 of the elements 11a and 11c of the frame.
• the lower side of the peripheral edge is housed in the corresponding groove 18 of the element 11b of the frame.
• the other pieces of decoration are put in place identically in the other grooves 18 of the frame 11.
• the drawing shows a second piece of decoration 12 which is set up with three sides of its peripheral edge 15 housed in the corresponding grooves 18 elements 11a, 11b and 11c of the frame.
• the bottom 13 is constituted by a bottom plate of any material attached to the back of the frame.
• the upper element 11d of the frame is placed on the upper ends of the side members of the frame, the upper sides of the peripheral edges 15 of all the decorative pieces 12 which are housed in the corresponding grooves of the upper element 11d of the frame.
• the front face of the frame may be closed by a transparent protective sheet or a plate of glass or other transparent material which is housed in the first peripheral groove at the front of the frame 11.
• the various decorative elements 14 are visible through the openings 16 of the decorating pieces 12 located in front of the space surrounded by the frame 11, being distributed over all the depth of the frame 11, They thus achieve a decor whose elements are arranged in a three-dimensional space with perspectives, reliefs and a completely natural appearance.
• the front peripheral edge of the frame 11 also forms a frame for the decor presented.
• the decorative elements 14 extend in planes parallel to each other. However, the decorative elements or some of them may also extend in non-parallel planes at the bottom and / or not parallel to each other. Examples of such an alternative embodiment are illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 which show sections in a transverse horizontal plane of a frame 11.
• the element 11a of the illustrated frame has grooves 18 which are oblique with respect to the outer side of the frame. They thus allow decorative elements 14 to extend with different orientations that give the entire set of decorations a more natural and varied appearance.
• Figures 8 and 9 illustrate other examples of variations of decorations.
• FIGs 10 and 11 illustrate an alternative embodiment in which a tab 19, for example, extends transversely between two decorative elements 14 belonging to two adjacent decor pieces.
