Definitions
- the present invention relates to displaying structures such as shelves, containers, etc., and in particular to a device for mounting on said structures elements such as boards, panels, displays and the like.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a universal mounting device which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows to adjust the position of the elements to be mounted on the displaying structures.
- the fundamental advantage of the device according to the present invention is to provide a universal mounting "interface" for the different types of displaying structures. In this way it is therefore possible to produce a single type of "informative element" suitable for all the displaying structures present in the point of sale.
- Another advantage of the present device is that it can be made so as to allow an easy adjustment of the position of the elements mounted thereon.
- the first and simplest embodiment of the present device essentially consists of a pair of end supports or terminals 1 (one only shown in the figures) which are secured onto the displaying structure by means of connecting elements such as screws or the like.
- Terminals 1 are substantially C-shaped and have end holes 3, with rods 4 extending therebetween and secured in turn into holes 3 by means of screws 5.
- figs.3 and 4 the use of said device is quite simple since it is sufficient to make the elements to be mounted 6 with lugs 7 suitable to slip on the rods 4.
- fig.3 there is shown, as a mere example, an electronic label inserted on a support provided along its periphery with two pairs of lugs 7, 7' suitable to restrain it to horizontal rods 4 or vertical rods 4', respectively. In this way, the electronic label can be mounted in any position, even like a "flag" by using only one rod 4, 4'.
- the example of fig.4 relates to the case of a plurality of elements 6 mounted side by side in the horizontal direction along the shelf of a set of shelves, which is the typical situation for the labels on the shelves of supermarkets.
- lugs 7, 7' consist of complete cylinders the labels have to be slipped on rods 4, 4' at the end thereof one after the other, but this is unpractical when an intermediate label has to be replaced. Therefore, it is preferable that lugs 7, 7' are made so as to allow the mounting of the label directly in the desired position and the subsequent removal thereof without touching the adjacent labels.
- a possible solution is to make semicircular lugs 7, 7' and then lock them on rods 4, 4' by completing their cylindrical structure with rear shells whose removal requires a specific tool supplied to the personnel of the point of sale. The rear shells also provide the blocking of the label in the desired position by exerting a little friction on rods 4, 4'.
- supports 1 can be secured to the displaying structures in any position and with the preferred orientation, as well as through different connecting elements according to the type of displaying structure. In this way, the problem of the adaptation to the different structural features of the displaying structures is limited to supports 1 which are few with respect to the number of informative elements to be mounted. Therefore it is possible to achieve significant savings for these elements through mass production of a universal model.
- Figure 5 illustrates a second embodiment of the present device which is an evolution of the above-described first embodiment.
- supports 1 have a plurality of holes 3 for supporting rods 4, so as to use a variable number of rods 4 differently positioned according to specific needs. Therefore, this solution allows to achieve a capacity of discrete adjustment of the position of rods 4, which can be useful for mounting informative elements of adjustable shape or elements of different sizes.
- a third embodiment allowing a continuous adjustment of the position is schematically illustrated in fig.6.
- This solution includes supports 1 still having a C-shaped structure but with the lower leg 1a which is elongated and can be shifted parallelly.
- the stroke of the lower leg 1a is limited by the length of a guide slot 8 wherein a locking screw 9 slides.
- the mobile leg 1a has in turn, as seat for rod 4, a longitudinal slot 10 wherein rod 4 slides.
- the example of application shown in fig.6 relates to an electronic label mounted on three rods 4, of which two upper rods are horizontally aligned and a lower rod is carried by the mobile leg 1a.
- the solar cell C is located between the two fixed rods so that it always faces upwards to catch the light, while display D is oriented according to the required view angle.
- display D is oriented according to the required view angle.
- the label is placed at a height greater than eye level it is necessary to incline display D downwards by moving the mobile leg 1a to the lower stop.
- the label is placed low it is necessary to incline display D upwards by moving the mobile leg 1a towards the upper stop (dotted lines position).
- it is the horizontal displacement of the lower rod 4 which defines the level of locking of the mobile leg 1a by means of the locking screw 9.
- supports 1 may be somewhat changed according to the connecting elements to be used for the securing onto the displaying structure.
- rods 4 may have any cross-section and may be fixed onto supports 1 in other ways, e.g. by means of transverse pins, straps, etc.
