Support (1) for an image (2, 7) contained at least partly within a predefined perimeter, for example of rectangular shape; characterized in that it comprises an image extension element (5) arranged so as to support a part (7) of said image (2, 7) outside of said perimeter.

Description

Support d’image  Image support
Domaine de l’invention Field of the invention
L’invention concerne les images contenues dans un périmètre prédéfini, p.ex. de forme rectangulaire, délimité ou non par un cadre. The invention relates to images contained within a predefined perimeter, eg of rectangular shape, delimited or not by a frame.
Etat de la technique State of the art
De manière traditionnelle, les images que l’on souhaite présenter sur un mur ou sur une surface horizontale sont contenues dans un cadre. In a traditional way, the images that one wishes to present on a wall or on a horizontal surface are contained in a frame.
Actuellement, il existe des cadres, ou parties de cadres, amovibles, permettant de contenir une image, tout en offrant la possibilité à l’utilisateur de changer la forme et le style de l’encadrement. Voir p.ex. le modèle d’utilité DE 20301988. Currently, there are frames, or parts of frames, removable, to contain an image, while providing the opportunity for the user to change the shape and style of the frame. See eg utility model DE 20301988.
Le cadre ou le périmètre externe d’une image peut être utilisé comme élément de support d’objets. A titre d’exemple, un miroir sur le contour duquel des éléments de fixation permettent d’accrocher des objets du quotidien est illustré dans le brevet US 6 347 472. The outer frame or perimeter of an image can be used as an object support element. For example, a mirror on the contour of which fasteners allow to hang everyday objects is illustrated in US Patent 6,347,472.
Une autre technique, illustrée dans la demande de brevet internationale WO2017/049100, permet d’attacher plusieurs cadres entre eux, afin d’arranger de manière sélective plusieurs éléments visuels pré-encadrés. Another technique, illustrated in the international patent application WO2017 / 049100, makes it possible to attach several frames to each other, in order to selectively arrange several pre-boxed visual elements.
Cependant, les systèmes de l’état de la technique n’offrent pas la possibilité d’étendre une image hors de son cadre ou de son espace prédéfini. L’image est donc figée dans son périmètre usuel. Description générale de l’invention However, the state of the art systems do not offer the possibility of extending an image out of its predefined frame or space. The image is thus fixed in its usual perimeter. General description of the invention
Un but de la présente invention est de de créer un nouvel effet visuel donnant l’impression qu’une image n’est pas confinée dans son encadrement habituel. An object of the present invention is to create a new visual effect giving the impression that an image is not confined in its usual frame.
Dans ce contexte, l’invention concerne un support d’image contenue au moins partiellement dans un périmètre prédéfini, par exemple de forme rectangulaire ; caractérisé par le fait qu’il comprend un élément d’extension d’image disposé de manière à supporter une partie de ladite image en dehors dudit périmètre. In this context, the invention relates to an image carrier contained at least partially in a predefined perimeter, for example of rectangular shape; characterized in that it comprises an image extension element arranged to support a portion of said image outside said perimeter.
Selon un mode de réalisation de l’invention, le support est constitué d’un cadre rigide. According to one embodiment of the invention, the support consists of a rigid frame.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l’invention, le support comprend une structure adaptée pour être disposée derrière l’image. In another embodiment of the invention, the support comprises a structure adapted to be disposed behind the image.
Selon une autre variante de l’invention, le support comprend plusieurs éléments d’extension. According to another variant of the invention, the support comprises several extension elements.
La partie de l’image se trouvant hors du périmètre usuel peut être fixée de manière permanente à l’élément d’extension, comme illustré sur les figures. Dans ce cas, l’élément d’extension est de préférence détachable, afin d’offrir la possibilité de changer l’image et conserver le même élément principal du support. The portion of the image outside the usual perimeter may be permanently attached to the extension member as shown in the figures. In this case, the extension element is preferably detachable, in order to offer the possibility of changing the image and keeping the same main element of the support.
L’image peut également être aisément séparée de l’élément d’extension. Dans ce cas, ce dernier peut être fixé de manière permanente à l’élément principal du support. The image can also be easily separated from the extension element. In this case, the latter can be fixed permanently to the main element of the support.
Cette technique d’attache invisible permet de donner l’illusion que l’image sort de façon naturelle de son espace habituel. This invisible fastening technique gives the illusion that the image comes out naturally from its usual space.
Cette technique permet également de remplacer aisément les éléments d’extension afin de modifier le rendu final de l’image. Description détaillée de l’invention This technique also makes it easy to replace extension elements to change the final rendering of the image. Detailed description of the invention
L’invention va être exposée de manière plus détaillée à l'aide d’exemples de réalisation représentés dans les dessins suivants : The invention will be explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments shown in the following drawings:
Figure no 1 : Tableau avec cadre Figure 1: Table with frame
Figure no 2: Tableau sans cadre Figure 2: Frameless Table
La figure no 1 montre une partie d’image 2 délimitée par un cadre 1 muni d’un sillon 3 dans lequel s’imbrique un élément externe 5 formant un support additionnel d’image, d’un système d’attache 4, 6 et de l’autre partie de l’image 7. FIG. 1 shows an image portion 2 delimited by a frame 1 provided with a groove 3 in which an external element 5 forming an additional image support, a fastening system 4, 6 and the other part of picture 7.
La figure no 2 montre une partie d’image 2 sans cadre à laquelle le module externe 5 se rattache à un élément principal de support placé à l’arrière de l’image, dans lequel se trouve un sillon 3 muni d’un système d’attache 4,6. FIG. 2 shows a frameless picture portion 2 to which the external module 5 is attached to a main support element placed at the rear of the image, in which there is a groove 3 equipped with an optical system. 4.6.
Le système d’attache illustré peut être composé d’aimants, de boutons pressions, de bande Velcro, ou de tout autre élément permettant de fixer l’élément externe 5 de façon amovible ou définitive. The fastening system illustrated may be composed of magnets, snaps, Velcro tape, or any other element for fixing the outer member 5 removably or permanently.
Il va de soi que l’invention ne se limite pas aux exemples précités. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the above examples.
Le support peut contenir plusieurs éléments d’extension. The media can contain multiple extension elements.
Selon une variante non illustrée de l’invention, le support comprend un cadre comportant au moins une fente qui traverse un de ses bords. Dans cette configuration, une image unique peut être utilisée et insérée à travers la fente de manière à être partiellement exposée en dehors du périmètre prédéfini. According to a non-illustrated variant of the invention, the support comprises a frame having at least one slot which passes through one of its edges. In this configuration, a single image can be used and inserted through the slot so as to be partially exposed outside the predefined perimeter.
Il convient également de relever que la plus grande partie de l’image peut être disposée en dehors du périmètre prédéfini. It should also be noted that most of the image can be arranged outside the predefined perimeter.
De préférence, le ou les éléments d’extension doivent être conçus pour donner une impression de continuité de l’image entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur du périmètre prédéfini. Preferably, the at least one extension element should be designed to give an impression of continuity of the image between the inside and the outside of the predefined perimeter.
