Description

“HINGE WITH ARRANGEMENT FOR AUTOMATIC PLANNING AND EXPANSION SYSTEM, FOR ARTICULATION AND SUSPENSION OF

MISCELLANEOUS ELEMENTS ”

This specification relates to a patent application for a cardboard hinge developed from die cutting design or even injected into plastic material from a mold to form a segmented part. creased, collapsible, and tension-retained wallcaps for a flattening and expanding system from its own laminar body. The hinge, 10 according to the design, can be fixed directly to anchor surfaces and, from these points, through the “own expansion” system of its creased wall segments - under the action of the elastic loop, enable the movement of elements. miscellaneous also made of cardboard or plastic, according to the cutting and creasing or mold designs.

The hinge may be adhered by one of its wall segments by

glue, solder or other suitable fixing layer on a static surface and, on another adjacent wall segment, on an element to be moved, enabling its automatic articulation. The hinge may be fixed by one of its wall segments to a printed media such as a catalog in which on its inner surface there is any photo or information and then received by its opposite (ie non-adjacent) wall segment. ), a complementing element (to be moved) of that photo or information. When the media is opened, the hinge hitherto in flat condition, has its creased wall segments expanded to automatically suspend - in pop-up system, the complementary element, placing it in relief in relation to said photo or information. The hinge may further be glued by two of its adjacent wall segments on two crease foldable faces of an element to be moved such as a creased plate and also cause the crease faces of that board to articulate by opening it and closing it.

TECHNICAL STATE

The inventor of the application in question protected, by means of patent PI 0602006-2, filed on 18.05.2006 under the title “TOTEM IMPROVEMENT OF 10 TYPE ARM DISPLAY”, a type of hinge developed from a piece of cardboard to use in cardboard displays as well. The piece, by means of a special die-cut design, receives five crease-folding wall segments from these creases, two inner wall segments separated by a central crease and 15 in agreement with two peripheral wall segments of free edges. The inner wall segments have guide recesses obtained through cutouts made parallel to their sides. For forming the hinge, the part thus divided by creased wall segments is completed by an elastic loop.

PI 0602006-2 hinge is used by taking advantage of the inner flaps

adjacent to the two confronting parts of display displays. Said adjacent tabs are arranged to be positioned internally and obliquely when the two facing parts of the display display are joined and are further provided with properly spaced upper and lower indentations. By the free edges of its peripheral wall segments, the hinge is positioned between the junction creases of the two confronting parts of the display display whose adjacent tabs are thereby enveloped, thereby fixing said hinge by inserting the loop. elastic. The elastic loop is anchored tensioned between the upper and lower indentations of the adjacent tabs of the two confronting parts of the display and is locked between the lateral indentations of the hinge inner segments. In this condition, the elastic loop flexibly forces the hinge against the adjacent flaps of the two facing portions of the display panel.

Because they are creased, the hinge wall segments follow

the closure between the two confronting parts of the display, taking the condition of being flattened but still being pulled by the tension of the elastic loop, which was stretched with the closing of said confronting parts. The display display is bent by its buds, thus maintaining the tension between the hinge and the adjacent tabs of its confronting parts. When the opening of the display is initiated by the interested party, with minimum clearance from the confronting parts, the elastic loop is forced to immediately return to its position, pulling the creased segments of the hinge that open strongly and, consequently, with this expansion. cause the automatic and instant structuring of the display display.

As will be seen later, through the drawings to be presented, the above-described prior art hinge protected by said patent PI 0602006-2 is fixed by the elastic loop at two anchor points of the two facing parts of the display panel. Through the adjacent wall segments of the hinge, it can be flattened or expanded to allow the display to automatically close and open.

PURPOSE PURPOSE In continuity with the hitherto existing technology, now comes the same

The inventor claims protection for a new hinge which provides important effects and technical advancement over the hinge cited in the prior art as it eliminates the need for elastic loop anchor points between adjacent flap indentations of the facing portions of an exhibitor 10. (display) for the automatic armature system, ie the new hinge now gains expansion from its own laminar body formed by creased wall segments.

With this a new hinge can be adhered by a suitable fixing layer on a static surface so that from there it articulates an element to be moved or also allows the suspension of that element to be moved or even to be adhered between two faces. folds of an element to be moved, provided with crease, allowing the articulation of these faces, opening (automatically, after releasing the action of the elastic loop) and closing. Therefore, the application of the hinge now involves the new design extending not only to displays but also to various other elements and structures to be moved.

To this end, the new hinge has, as in the prior art, two inner wall segments, which are separated by a central crease and provided with pairs of recessed indentations from their sides, said crease-compliant inner wall segments, with adjacent, peripheral wall segments. For the proposed system, the free edges of the peripheral wall segments, after creases, receive two also foldable extensions, provided on their sides, also with recessed elastic loop recesses.

For assembly, the inner wall segments and the adjacent peripheral wall segments fold by their creases, closing to embrace the two extensions which, also folded by their creases, tangent to their perfectly confronting faces between each other. itself within the laminar body of the hinge. Then the elastic loop is tightly anchored between the recesses of the sides of the extensions and also between the indentations of the upper and lower edges of the inner segments thus forming the new hinge, object of this patent application.

The internal and peripheral segments, being anchored in the creases of their own extensions, bent and facing each other and internally positioned in the laminar body formed structure, when flattened (ie, trapped by the very structure of the element to be moved) are kept in strong tension maintained by the elastic loop.

As a desired effect, the hinge in question, the reason for this patent, 20 gains its own expansion after the partial release of the structure to be moved, because the elastic loop anchored from the extensions, is in charge of pressing the internal and peripheral segments from the tension against the extensions positioned internally on the laminar body of the hinge. Thus, once the pressure is undone, the elastic loop is released causing the hinge to expand and automatically open the hinge element and consequently the element to be moved.

As will be seen in more detail below, the new constructivity also allows the elastic loop to pass through only one of the inner wall segments 5 of the hinge, so as to leave the other three wall segments - one inner and two peripheral, free. This allows the hinge to adhere to the element to be moved by both its adjacent wall segments and its opposing wall segments.

Like this:

- if adhered by its adjacent wall segments between the surface

static and the element to be moved, the latter can be articulated from the static point;

- if adhered by its opposite wall segments between the static surface and the element to be moved, the latter may be suspended

standing in relief, in a pop-up system, kept at a distance and parallel to the static surface;

- if adhered by their adjacent wall segments between two faces of a creased (to be moved) element, these two faces may be simultaneously hinged together by opening or closing that element.

In all the cases mentioned, the strong internal tension coming from the

Extensions bent by their creases and internally positioned under the action of the elastic loop anchored in them, allow the flatness and automatic opening (expansion) of the hinge from its own laminar body.

The system made possible by the hinge allows the automatic opening of display displays and frames of their shelves, as well as any other structures that use creased plates, hinged doors (cardboard or plastic), suspension pedestals (cardboard or plastic) embedded in boxes that, when opened, automatically expose various objects in pop-up system and so on.

Superficially explained, the hinge becomes more detailed through the accompanying drawings.

The following figures refer to the conventional hinge protected by PI 0602006-2 explained above in the prior art field:

Figure 1.1 - shows, in three views, the planned hinge, followed by the beginning of the closing of its creased segments, which are then folded;

Figure 1.2 - shows, in sequential views, the hinge being inserted by the free edges of its peripheral segments between adjacent tabs of the confronting parts of an exhibitor display. As can be seen, the free edges of the peripheral segments abut the creases formed between the adjacent tabs and the confronting parts of the display panel;

Figure 1.3 - shows, in sequence, the elastic loop being anchored between the indentations of the adjacent flaps of the confronting parts of the display and also in the indentations of the sides of the hinge internal segments;

Figure 1.4 - shows, in sequence, with plan views, the expansion of the hinge (by the action of the elastic loop and the creases of its wall segments), anchored between the adjacent tabs of the display panel, opening it automatically.

The following figures refer to the construction of the hinge, the reason for this patent application, as well as the operating system that surrounds it:

Figures 2.1 to 2.6 - show, in sequence, the laminar body of the

hinge from its planned state as in fig. 2.1 passing through the folding of its creased inner and peripheral wall segments as in FIGS. 2.2 and 2.3 until closing, as in figs. 2.4 and 2.5 when the extensions are involved, positioning them with their facing faces and kept internally in the laminar body, as in fig. 2.6;

Figures 3.1 to 3.4 show, in sequence, the laminar body receiving the elastic loop as in fig. 3.1, anchored by one of the pairs of extensions cutouts and also by the cutouts of its two inner wall segments, forming the hinge itself. In this sequence are shown the steps of expansion of the wall segments by the action of the elastic loop and the hinge laminar body creases, both in perspective and in plan as in Figs. 3.2. For application, as shown in the sequence of figs. 3.3, the hinge is adhered by one of its outer segments to the surface of the static element and, by its other outer segment, 20 receives the element to be moved, pivoting it relative to that static point. Figs. 3.4 show the hinge only facing the other way to the same hinge system of the element to be moved;

Figures 4.1 to 4.6 show, in sequence, the laminar body receiving the elastic loop as in fig. 4.1, anchored by the extension cut-out pairs and the cut-outs of only one of its inner segments, in optional hinge arrangement. In this sequence, the steps of expansion by action of the elastic loop and creases of the hinge laminar body are shown, both in perspective and in plan as in Figs. 4.2. In this condition, the hinge maintains three of its free segments both for surface attachment and for receiving the element to be moved as in FIGS.

4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6;

Figures 5.1 to 5.6 - show, in sequence, the laminar body receiving the elastic loop as in fig. 5.1, anchored by the 10 extension clippings and by the clippings of only the other of its inner segments. In this sequence are shown the expansion steps by the action of the elastic loop and creases of the hinge laminar body, both in perspective and plan as in figs. 5.2. In this condition, as in the previous figure 4.1, the hinge keeps three of its wall segments free both for surface attachment and for receiving the element to be moved as in figs. 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6;

Figures 6.1 to 6.8 show, in sequence, the hinge adhered by a suitable fastening layer to a static surface by one of its wall segments and by the adjacent wall segment receiving the element to be moved and articulating it. from the static point. As in figs. 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 the element to be moved may be a door and, as in Figs.6.5, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8, the element to be moved may be a complement to an information or photo of a printed, articulated media. in pop-up system; Figures 7. I to 7.7 show, in sequence, the hinge adhered by a suitable fastening layer by one of its outer wall segments at the bottom of a package, overlapping by an opposite inner wall segment. object (in this case a beverage bottle), such as 5 in figures 7.1, 7.2 3 7.3. As the sequence illustrates, with the package closed, the hinge is planned. After opening the package, the hinge automatically expands and suspends the bottle, extending beyond the open edge of the package, exposing it in a pop-up system. Such an effect can be obtained in print media and in other applications which envisage the suspension of one object in relation to another, as in figures 7.4,

7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 where a complementary element is automatically suspended on the printed surface of a catalog after opening it;

Figures 8.1 to 8.10 show, in sequence, in perspective and plan view, the hinge adhered by suitable fastening layer to an element to be moved which may be a shelf forming plate of a display display for example shown in FIG. partially, or adhered to any other structure. As in figs. 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3, the hinge is adhered aligned by the central crease of its adjacent wall segments to the crease of the element to be moved. Thus said element may have its faces hinged by its crease as the hinge plans and expands, opening and closing. In such a situation the hinge may receive various arrangements as in figs. 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 when a pair is fixed to a first element to be moved, which is the basis for a second element to be moved, such as the bottle itself, which is suspended in automatic sequence after opening the package. . The hinge

(1) can be used for the planning and automatic setting of display displays of various formats, such as the hexagonal display as shown in figs. 8.8, 8.9 and 8.10.

In accordance with the illustration to the attached figures, the

“ARRANGEMENT FOLDING FOR AUTOMATIC PLANNING AND EXPANSION SYSTEM, FOR ARTICULATING AND SUSPENDING MISCELLANEOUS PURPOSES”, the subject-matter of this patent application, is made from a laminar body part (1) made of 10 cardboard (per die-cut design) or plastic (from mold design), consisting of two inner wall segments (2) and (3) adjacent to a central fold (4) by means of creases (5), said inner wall segments (2) and (3) receiving pairs of recessed indentations (6) and (7) from both sides thereof, perfectly aligned with each other. Also by creasing (8), the inner wall segments (2) and (3) are in agreement with respective peripheral wall segments (9) and (10), both delimited by creases (11), from which are attached to extensions (12) and (13) incorporated by the die-cut or die design in said laminar part 0).

The extensions 12 and 13 extend laterally over the segments

(2), (3), (9) and (10) and also receive from their sides respective pairs of indentations (14) and (15). Figure 2.1 illustrates such constructivity.

Thus composed, the laminar body (1) has its inner wall segments (2) and (3) folded by the creases (4) and the peripheral wall segments (9) and (10) folded by the creases (8) as well. as the extensions 12 and 13, as illustrated in figures 2.2 and 2.3. By their creases (11) the extensions (12) and (13) are bent sharply inward, as shown in Figures 2.4 and 2.5, so as to rest their free edges on the central fold (4) of the laminar body (1). being, in this condition, juxtaposed, keeping their contact surfaces facing. After closing, said extensions (12) and (13) are positioned internally to the laminar body (1), externally exposing only their sides with the respective pairs of 10 indentations (14) and (15) perfectly aligned, as illustrated figure

2.6, as well as the indentations (6) and (7) of the inner segments (2) and (3) remain perfectly aligned.

Thus constituted, the laminar body (1) will receive an elastic loop (16) forming the hinge itself.

As the dotted lines in Figure 3.1 indicate, the elastic loop (16)

it can be inserted and clamped tensioned in only one of the pairs of the recessed cutouts (14) or (15) between the sides of the extensions (12) and (13), also clamping on the overlapping recesses (6) and (7) to both internal segments (2) and (3).

In this condition, from the juxtaposition of the extensions (12) and (13)

the elastic loop (16), anchored to the recessed pair (14) or (15), strongly presses the inner segments (2) and (3) which, by articulation with the peripheral segments (9) and (10) through the creases (5) and (8) allow the hinge (1) to be flattened and automatically expanded from its own laminar body.

The hinge (1) may be adhered by a suitable fixing layer (F), which may be solder or other glue to a static surface (S), as shown in Figure 3.3, by means of one of the hinges. its 5 outer segments, for example, segment (9) receiving, by the other outer segment (10), an element (E) to be moved, also adhered by fixing layer (F). The sequence of figure 3.3 shows the system for the planning of the wall segments (2) and (3) and (9) and (10) of the hinge (1) by applying a force from the element (E) to be moved 10 directed against a static surface (S). When the pressure is undone, the hinge (1) fixed by its peripheral segment (9) to the static surface (S) opens and its peripheral segment (10) automatically pushes the element (E) to be moved which it can be thus articulated, opening and closing. As shown in Figures 3.3 and 3.4, the hinge (1) utilizes one or the other of its two adjacent peripheral segments (9) and (10), both for adhering to the static surface (S) and for adhering the element ( E) to be moved, which is then articulated.

As shown in Figure 4.1, in another arrangement for the hinge (1), the elastic loop (16), after being inserted and fastened, is tensioned in the pairs of recessed cutouts (14) and (15) between the sides of the extensions (12). and (13) is directed and secured only to the pair of recessed indentations (7) aligned from the sides of the inner segment (3). With such an arrangement, the adjacent inner segment (2) remains free of the overlap of the elastic loop (16) while maintaining the same expansion system for the hinge (1). As illustrated in Figure 5.1, in another arrangement, the elastic loop (16) may be directed only at the pair of recessed indentations (6) aligned at the sides of the opposite inner segment (2), in which case the inner segment remains.

(3) adjacent, free.

In both optional arrangements, the hinge (1) gains three segments

free, that is, an inner segment - (2) or (3), and the two outer segments (9) and (10) devoid of overlapping the elastic loop (16). Thus, by any of the three free segments (2) or (3) and (9) and (10), the hinge (1) may be adhered by fixing layer (F) to the static surface (S) and to receive. the element (E) to be moved. This allows the hinge (1) to adhere to the static surface (S) and receive element (E) to be moved between an inner segment (2) or (3) and an outer segment (9) or (10) - opposite , ie not adjacent. Thus, after expansion of the hinge (1) from the static surface (S), the element (E) can be moved in suspension, as shown in figures 4.4, 4.5, 5.4 and 5.5. In this condition a printed medium may receive, on its static surface (S) containing information or photos, the hinge (1) which in turn fixes a complementary element (E). After opening the printed media (a catalog for example), the hinge (1) automatically expands and suspends the element (E) to be moved in pop-up system, as in the sequence of figures 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7.

If the hinge (1) is adhered by the securing layer (F) between the static surface (S) and the element (E) by its two adjacent outer segments (9) and (10), pivoting motion is offered as in figures 4.3, 4.6, 5.3 and 5.6. The hinge (1) can articulate a door or a shelf as in figures 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4. When applied to the surface (S) of a printed medium, the information or photos contained therein may receive a complementary mobile informational element (E) through the hinge (1).

As in figures 6.5, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8 after opening a catalog, for example, the information or movable element (E) under hinge action (1) hinges in a pop-up system and is automatically positioned to complement what is exposed on the static surface (S) of the catalog.

Thus, the hinge (1) through its own hinge can be adhered by the clamping layer (F) between a static surface (S) and the element (E) to be moved, so that its hinge (8) is automatically obtained. 3.3, 3.4, 4.3, 4.6, 5.3 and 5.6) or suspension (4.4, 4.5, 5.4 and 5.5).

Finally, in another application option, the hinge (1) may be adhered by fixing layer (F) by one of its inner segments (2) or 15 (3) and one of the adjacent peripheral segments to the faces of an element ( E) to be buzzing, like a crease board. As illustrated in the sequence of figures 8.1 to 8.3, the hinge (1) is aligned by its central fold (4) to the crease of the element (E) to be moved which, by its expansion and planing system will have moved its two faces, articulated together, opening and closing. Arrangements with one or more hinges (1) such as a pair adhered by a clamping layer (F) to a first element (E) to be moved (E) as shown in Figure 8.7, make it possible to move a second element (E) as shown by figures 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6.

According to the project, exhibitor displays no longer need their adjacent tabs formed cut and crease designs to receive the elastic loop (16), which is now tensioned from the extensions itself () of the hinge laminar body (I) . With this, cutting and creasing projects can be simplified in the manufacture of exhibitor displays, 5 racks, shelves and various panels made of cardboard, bringing important advancement in the segment. The sequence of figures 8.8, 8.8 and 8.10 shows a hexagonal display being armed by the hinge (1).
