Description

PLAYBACK

The present invention relates to a reading console for receiving at least one information medium. This invention relates to the field of manufacturing equipment for receiving an information carrier, in situations in which it is not always possible or desirable to hold such a support by hand to read the information therein. contained. In fact, the present invention will find a very particular application (but, however, in no way limiting) in the field of music in which such equipment adopts the form of a reading console designed to receive an information carrier constituted by a sheet music . In this regard, it will be observed that such a reading console usually comprises a foot (through which this desk rests on the ground), a display (for the reception of said information medium) and an element permitting ensure mounting, including an articulated manner, the display on the foot.

In fact, such a display is usually attached to such a mounting element by means of screws, rivets or screw-nut systems. Such fixing is done during the manufacturing process of the desk in the factory, while waiting for the storage and delivery of such a desk.

It will be observed that such fixing is final and does not allow to consider disassembly of the display to replace it, especially when the display is degraded or when it comes to adapt the desk to its environment.

In particular, when a stock of desks is constituted, it is not possible to interchange the display of such a desk to adapt to a change of order or to satisfy a new order requiring a different display. In addition, the director of a theater, with a plurality of desks, has no opportunity to adapt such a desk to the environment of this room (especially after a renovation or a change of scenery or decoration ) and / or the nature of the representation to be given.

The present invention is intended to overcome the disadvantages of the consoles of the state of the art.

For this purpose, the invention relates to a reading console for receiving at least one information medium to be read, in particular a musical score, and comprising:

- a foot to rest the desk on the floor;

a display rack for receiving the information medium and comprising at least one plate against which the information support is leaning;

- An element for mounting, including an articulated manner, at least the display tray on the foot;

characterized in that: the mounting element comprises at least one connecting means; the plate comprises at least one complementary assembly means;

at least one assembly means and at least one complementary assembly means are designed to cooperate in order to ensure a reversible assembly of the plate with the mounting element.

According to another characteristic, on the one hand, at least one assembly means that comprises the mounting element is at least partly constituted by an interlocking means and, on the other hand, at least one assembly means complementary that includes the tray is constituted by a complementary interlocking means.

In fact, an interlocking means that comprises the mounting element may be constituted by a mortise, respectively a tenon, while a complementary interlocking means that comprises the plate is constituted by a tenon, respectively by a mortise.

However, an interlocking means that includes the mounting element may, again, be constituted by a groove while a complementary interlocking means that comprises the plate is constituted by a rib.

Finally, on the one hand, an interlocking means that comprises the mounting element may consist of an impression, which is provided at least a portion of this mounting element, formed in relief relative to a surface that includes part of the mounting element, extending substantially in a plane parallel to the plane of the plate and with which this plate cooperates and, secondly, a complementary interlocking means that comprises the plate is constituted by a cutout having a shape and / or dimension at least partly complementary to that of the relief impression.

An additional feature is that the assembly means that includes the mounting member further comprises means for immobilizing, including reversibly, the plate relative to the mounting member.

The advantages of the present invention consist in that the reading console comprises assembly means and complementary assembly means, these means being designed to cooperate in order to ensure a reversible type of assembly of the tray with the element of assembly. mounting.

Such a reversible assembly allows, then advantageously, a disassembly of the tray in order to proceed to its replacement.

Another advantage is that in the factory, it is possible to manufacture and store only assemblies comprising a foot and a mounting element which, because of the small size of such an assembly relative to a desk complete state of the art, allows, advantageously, optimized management of the stock. In such a case and when an order occurs, it is possible either to mount on such a set a display from a stock already constituted (and may include a plurality of different display models), or to manufacture only the display corresponding to such a command (which significantly reduces the production time of such a desk).

Similarly and advantageously, when a stock of desks with a display of a certain type has already been established and the order relating to this stock has been canceled or modified, it is easily possible to adapt to a new order or a change of order by proceeding, very quickly, to a replacement of the display by a display of another type.

Finally, the design of the mounting element and the display unit of a console according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to imagine and to propose a multitude of display units of different types, each of these types of display units being advantageously capable of 'to be mounted on the same assembly foot + mounting element, this interchangeably and fast. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description relating to embodiments which are given by way of indicative and non-limiting examples.

The present invention relates to the field of manufacturing equipment for receiving an information carrier. As seen in Figure 1, such equipment is in the form of a reading desk 1 designed to receive at least one information carrier to read, including a musical score.

Such a reading console 1 usually comprises a foot 2 for resting the desk 1 on the floor.

This desk 1 comprises, again, a display 3 designed to receive the information carrier. Such a display 3 comprises at least one plate 4, extending substantially in a plane, and against which the information support is leaning. An additional feature is that such a display 3 may, again, comprise at least one shelf (5;

5 '), in particular on which said information carrier comes to rest.

Yet another feature is that this reading console 1 comprises an element 6 designed to ensure the assembly, including an articulated manner, of at least a portion of the display 3 on the foot 2. As can be seen in the appended figures, such an element 6 is designed to ensure at least the assembly, in an articulated manner, of the plate 4 of this display unit 3 on this foot 2.

According to the invention, this mounting element 6 comprises at least one assembly means 7 while the plate 4 comprises at least one complementary assembly means 8.

At least one assembly means 7 (which comprises this mounting element 6) and at least one complementary assembly means 8

(That includes this plate 4) are designed to cooperate to ensure a reversible type of assembly of this plate 4 with this mounting element 6.

Such an assembly of reversible type allows, then and advantageously, the disassembly of the plate 4, this for replacement. In fact and according to the invention, at least one assembly means 7 (which comprises the mounting element 6) is at least partly constituted by an interlocking means 70 while at least one complementary assembly means 8 (which includes the plate 4) is constituted by a complementary interlocking means 80.

According to a first embodiment, an interlocking means 70 that comprises the mounting element 6 is constituted by a mortise 71, respectively a tenon, while a complementary interlocking means 80 that includes the plate 4 is constituted by a stud 81, respectively by a mortise.

A first embodiment (not shown) corresponding to this first embodiment consists in that the interlocking means or means 70 (more particularly in the form of a mortise, in particular constituted by an opening in the mounting element 6) and the complementary engagement means 80 (more particularly in the form of a tenon, in particular constituted by a pin fitted to the plate 4) extend substantially perpendicularly to the plane of this plate 4 and / or to a surface 60, that comprises said mounting element 6, at the level of which 60 are provided the interlocking means 70 and against which 60 comes to apply this plate 4.

Such an embodiment allows an assembly of the plate 4 with the mounting element 6, this by interlocking in accordance with a movement perpendicular to the plane of the surface 60 of this mounting element 6 and / or the plate 4.

It has been illustrated in Figure 2 a second embodiment corresponding to this first embodiment and that the or the interlocking means 70 adopt the shape of a mortise 71, more particularly constituted by an opening. Such a mortise 71 extends substantially parallel to a surface 60, which comprises the mounting element 6, which extends in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the plate 4, and against which 60 comes to apply this plate 4 This mortise 71 is more particularly formed in a shoulder 61, which comprises the mounting element 6, and which extends (substantially perpendicularly) from the above-mentioned surface 60 of this mounting element 6 against which 60 is applied to this plate 4. The or the complementary interlocking means 80, corresponding to this second embodiment, take the form of at least one pin 81 (more particularly constituted by a pin or the like) extending to from the edge of the plate 4, this laterally with respect to this plate 4 and substantially parallel to the plane of the plate 4.

Such an embodiment allows an assembly of the plate 4 with the mounting element 6, this by interlocking in accordance with a movement parallel to the plane of the surface 60 of this mounting element 6 and / or the plate 4. According to a second type embodiment, the mounting element 6 comprises at least one interlocking means 70 constituted by a groove 72 while the plate 4 comprises at least one complementary interlocking means 80 constituted by a rib 82.

A first non-illustrated embodiment corresponding to this second type of embodiment consists in that such a groove extends substantially parallel to a surface 60, that includes the mounting member 6, which extends in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the plate 4, and against which 60 is applied to this plate 4. In fact, such a groove can be arranged at the level of a shoulder 61 as described above and that comprises the mounting member 6. In such a case, the rib that includes the plate 4 may be constituted by at least a portion of the edge (particularly lower) of this plate 4 .

A second embodiment corresponding to this second type of embodiment consists, on the one hand, of the mounting element 6 having a peripheral edge 62 and, on the other hand, the engagement means 70 is provided at the at least part of this peripheral portion 62 and is constituted by a groove 72 which preferably extends in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the plate 4.

In this regard, it will be observed that the mounting element 6 preferably adopts a polygonal shape (in particular square or rectangular, or even rounded) and has, then, a peripheral edge 62 constituted by a succession of edges. In such a case, the interlocking means 70 is in the form of a groove 72 formed at at least one of the edges of this peripheral edge 62.

A preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3 consists of a rectangular-shaped mounting element 6 having a peripheral edge 62 constituted by 4 successive edges and comprising an interlocking means 70 constituted by a groove 72 formed at the level of 3 successive edges of this peripheral tranche 62.

An additional feature is that the mounting member 6 may be constituted by a single piece (including parallelepiped) at which such a groove 72 has been formed (Figure 3). However, according to another embodiment, such a mounting element 6 can be made by assembling two pieces, at least one of which comprises, facing the other, a relief imprint, extending from a surface extending substantially in a plane parallel to the plane of the plate 4, and recessed with respect to at least one edge of such a part.

With regard to the plate 4 corresponding to this second embodiment of this second embodiment, the latter 4 comprises a cutout 40 delimited by at least one edge 41 (preferably by as many edges as those provided with a groove and that includes the peripheral portion 62 of the mounting element 6) having a border of which at least a portion constitutes a rib 82 of a complementary interlocking means 80. Such an embodiment allows an assembly of the plate 4 with the mounting member 6, by interlocking in accordance with a movement parallel to the plane of the surface 60 of this mounting member 6 and / or the plate 4.

According to an additional characteristic, this plate 4 comprises, at the level of at least a portion of the edge of at least one edge 41 of the cutout 40, a housing 42 for receiving a part of the mounting element 6 delimiting a groove 72 of an interlocking means 70.

Such a housing 42 has a depth substantially corresponding to the thickness of the edge of the groove 72 of the mounting member 6, so that the surfaces of the plate 4 and the mounting member 6 are flush.

According to a third embodiment, on the one hand, an interlocking means 70 that comprises the mounting element 6 is constituted by a recess 73, which is provided at least a portion of this mounting element 6, formed in relief. relative to a surface 63, that comprises that part of the mounting element 6, extending substantially in a plane parallel to the plane of the plate 4, and with which 63 cooperates this plate 4. According to this third embodiment, a complementary nesting means 80 that includes the plate 4 is constituted by a cutout 40 having a shape and / or a dimension at least partly complementary to that of the recess 73 in relief. In this respect, it will be observed that, according to a first embodiment of this third embodiment, said surface 63 and the recess 73 (formed in relief relative to this surface 63) are defined at a portion of the mounting element 6 constituted by a base 64 having, in fact, two faces, one of which is then provided with the recess 73 in relief while the other is provided with a means 65 for its connection, in an articulated manner, to the foot 2.

It is, more particularly, against the surface 63 of this base 64 that comes, then, to apply the plate 4, in particular by interlocking the cutout 40 of this plate 4 with the footprint 73 of the base 64 of the mounting element 6.

Another feature of the invention consists in that the assembly means 7 that the mounting element 6 comprises comprises, again, a means 74 for immobilizing, in particular reversibly, the plate 4 with respect to the element of assembly 6.

According to a first embodiment, such an immobilizing means 74 may be constituted by a shape and / or adjusted dimensions of the impression 73 of the mounting element 6 and the cutout 40 of the plate 4, this for a immobilization plate 4 and mounting element 6.

In this regard, it will be observed that, in this case, the relief impression 73 may have, relative to the surface 63 of the base 64, a height substantially corresponding to the thickness of the plate 4, so that the surfaces (receiving the information carrier) of the plate 4 and the recess 73 of the mounting element 6 are flush.

However, according to a second embodiment, such a means of immobilization 74 is constituted by a means for holding the plate 4 on the base 64 of the mounting element 6 in an applied manner, or even to tighten it.

Such a means can then take the form of a screw or a screw-nut system associated with the plate 4 and the base 64.

However, and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7, such an immobilizing means 74 comprises, on the one hand, a plate 75, extending in a plane substantially parallel to that of the tray 4, and designed to cover at least part of the tray 4 so that it 4 is interposed between the base 64 and the plate 75 and, secondly, means 76 to make this plate 75 integral (including reversibly) of the base 64 of the mounting element 6.

According to another characteristic, the plate 75 and the base 64 have substantially identical external dimensions, so as to allow a covering of one 75 by the other 64 (in particular vice versa). Yet another feature is that this plate 75 and this base 64 (or even the aforementioned means 76 for joining) enter the composition of the mounting element 6 and therefore constitute, at least in part, this mounting element 6. When this mounting element 6 comprises such a plate 75, the latter 75 can, then and as illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7, comprise an interlocking means 70 constituted by a recess 73, made in relief relative to a surface 63, that includes this plate 75, extending substantially in a plane parallel to the plane of the plate 4, and with which 63 cooperates this plate 4.

In this regard, it will be observed that this plate 75 then has such a recess 73, this complementary or (and preferably) alternately to the base 64.

As mentioned above, the immobilizing means 74 comprise securing means 76 which can take the form of a screw or the like. In such a case, the plate 75 (more particularly the footprint 73 that includes the plate 75) has holes for receiving such a screw while the base 64 has through openings for receiving such a screw. .

With regard to said plate 75, this plate covers at least part of the plate 4. In fact, such a covering of the plate 4 by this plate 75 is, more particularly, provided at the edge of the cutout 40 of this plate. tray 4. According to an additional feature, this plate 4 comprises, at least a portion of the border of at less an edge 41 of the blank 40, a housing 42 for receiving a portion of the plate 75 of the immobilizing means 74, more particularly for receiving the edge of the plate 75. In fact, such a housing 42 has a depth substantially corresponding to the thickness of the plate 75 of the immobilizing means 4 (more particularly to the thickness of the edge of this plate 75), so that the surfaces of the plate 4 and the plate 75 of the mounting element 6 is flush.

It should be observed that this third type of embodiment is designed to allow assembly of the plate 4 with the mounting element 6, this by interlocking the plate 4 with the recess 73 (of the plate 75 or the base 64 ) followed by the establishment of the plate 75 over the base 64 and completed by the immobilization of this plate 75 relative to said base 64.

However, according to a preferred method of assembly, the mounting element 6 is constituted by the base 64 as well as by the plate 75 assembled by the securing means 76, so that this base 64 and this plate 75 define ( particularly at the level of a peripheral portion that then comprises this mounting element 6) a groove inside which is engaged the cut 40 of the plate 4, this in accordance with a movement parallel to the plane of the surface 63 of this element of mounting 6 and / or plate 4. The immobilization of the plate 4 with respect to the mounting element 6 is then ensured by actuation of the securing means 76.

As mentioned above, the display 3 of the reading console 1 according to the invention further comprises at least one shelf (5; 5 ').

According to a first embodiment not shown, such a tablet can be defined at an edge (particularly lower) of the plate 4, this material with it 4. However, and according to a preferred embodiment, such a tablet (5; 5 ') is in the form of an independent piece and distinct from this plate 4.

Also and according to an additional characteristic of the reading console 1 according to the present invention, the mounting element 6 (more particularly the base 64 and / or the plate 75 of this mounting element 6) comprises at least one means (66 66 ') for receiving, in particular removably, such a shelf (5; 5'). In fact, such a receiving means (66; 66 ') may, again, be constituted by an interlocking means, more particularly in the form of a cutout or the like inside which such a tablet is engaged ( 5; 5 ')

As can be seen in the appended figures, the foot 2 of the reading console 1 has an inclination with respect to the vertical, this forming, with respect to this vertical, an angle of between 5 and 20 °, preferably between 10 and 10 °. and 15 °, in particular of the order of 10 °. Such an embodiment advantageously makes it possible to approach the display 3 of a musician (particularly when the latter is practicing a cumbersome instrument such as a cello or the like), in order to facilitate the reading of his score.

An additional feature is that this foot 2 comprises, on the one hand, a support 20 having a first end intended to rest on the ground and a second end associated with the mounting element 6 (more particularly of which is rendered integral with said mounting member 6, in particular by interlocking) and, on the other hand, at least two arms (21; 21 ') each having a first end intended to rest on the ground and a second end associated with the support 20 (More particularly secured to it 20) so that such an arm (21; 21 ') extends from the support 20 and towards the ground.

As regards said support 20, the latter 20 extends substantially along an axis forming an angle (between 5 and 20 °, preferably between 10 and 15 °, in particular of the order 10 °) relative to the vertical, this to give said foot 2 its inclination relative to the vertical. This support 20 comprises an end portion 200, having the first end of this support 20 intended to rest on the ground, extending from this first end and over part of the length of this support 20 (in particular between 1 / 10 ^th and 1/3 of the length of the carrier 20), receiving the two legs (21; 21 ') which extend from said end portion 200 toward the ground, and forming with the two arms ( 21; 21 ') a tripod by which the foot 2 of the reading console 1 rests on the ground (Figures 1, 4 and 5).

The support 20 is constituted by at least one tube or, and preferably (Figures 1, 4 and 5), by an assembly consisting of a plurality of tubes arranged telescopically. Such a set of tubes also comprises means for immobilizing these tubes in the service position of the desk.

1. Preferably, such immobilizing means is constituted by a means for compensating the weight of the display 3.

An additional feature of this support 20 (more particularly telescopic tubes that compose it) is that it has a polygonal section, oval, elliptical or oblong, advantageously to avoid any rotation (around the axis of the support 20) of the tray 4 of the display 3 resulting from the inclination of the foot 2 (more particularly the support 20 of the foot 2) relative to the vertical.

With regard to the arms (21; 21 ') that the foot has

2, these (21; 21 ') can be mounted in an articulated manner on the support 20 or, preferably, immovably with respect to this support 20.

According to a first embodiment, these two arms (21;

21 ') can consist of two distinct elements.

However, and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, these two arms (21; 21 ') can be defined at the same piece, more particularly at a plate, d on the one hand, in which these two branches (21; 21 ') have been cut and, secondly, provided with an orifice to be traversed by the support 20.
