Description

Exhibitor furniture

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a piece of furniture exhibitor, which has been specially designed for the exhibition of essentially flat objects, such as tiles ceramics, marbles, parquet and flooring samples and any element or group of elements that can be placed on a tray or similar, however, said objects may present a appreciable height, such as shower trays and Similar.

The object of the invention is to achieve a piece of furniture display that optimizes the use of available space, without prejudice to its exhibiting function, that is to say allowing the perfectly detailed observation of any of the objects exposed in it.

Background of the invention

In areas such as those mentioned above, such as for example in the field of ceramic tiles, usually a wide range of designs, that is to say a considerable number of different pieces. By the nature of these must be fixed, that is so that they cannot be manipulated by the consumer, to avoid risks of breakage, dispersion of samples. etc of so that the pieces in question are normally fixed on larger boards. These boards are sometimes fixed to the wall of the establishment, which limits very considerable exposure capacity, and in others occasions are mounted on vertical supports which allows such panels occupy intermediate positions within the scope of the premises,  increasing its exposure possibilities, but over the basis of constituting undesirable barriers and without the capacity exhibitor can be considered as optimal, far from it.

Description of the invention

The display unit proposed by the invention solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, allowing the exposure of a large number of pieces in a minimum space.

To do this, and more specifically the furniture exhibitor that is recommended is constituted from an element Structural column-like structure, which can interchangeably be fixed to a wall or topped off on a base of support, preferably equipped with fixing means, column to the which are laterally integral with a plurality of bushings coaxial uniformly distributed and properly spaced, each of these caps being destined to receive, with turning capacity on an imaginary horizontal plane at a tray that can adopt a triangular, quadrangular configuration or any other deemed convenient, provided in any case in one of its vertices of a complementary cap, intended to be coaxially coupled to one of the bushings of the structural element of the column, definitely fixing trays to the column with the collaboration of an axis that crosses simultaneously both caps.

The distance between the bushings of the column will be in accordance with the expected height for each tray and the piece or pieces to be exhibited therein, so that all trays can be placed in superimposed arrangement, by example on one of the sides of the structural element, and a from here, each tray can rotate 90º to move on to the other half of the set and clearly show your content.

The trays can be optionally provided of a perimeter frame that hides its edges, when estimated convenient, and in the same way and depending on the nature of the objects to be exhibited, said tray can materialize in a closed metal sheet, in a profile-based frame, in a grid or any other suitable structure.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a view in perspective, the structural element that participates in the furniture exhibitor object of the present invention, when it is intended to rest on the ground.

Figure 2.- Shows a similar representation to that of figure 1 corresponding also to the structural element participating in the furniture, in the case where it is intended to be fixed murally.

Figure 3.- Shows a detail of one of the trays, which collaborate with the structural element of the figures previous.

Figure 4.- Shows another variant of realization of the tray, triangular, as in the case previous.

Figure 5.- Shows a detail in perspective of a frame for trays, specifically for trays of quadrangular contour.

Figure 6.- Shows a front elevation view of the display unit as a whole.

Figure 7.- Shows a plan view of the set represented in the previous figure, according to the variant of realization for the trays in which these are triangular

Figure 8.- Shows a perspective view of the assembly represented in figure 7.

Figure 9.- Shows, finally, a perspective similar to figure 8, in which the trays are quadrangular and in which the furniture appears adapted to a partition later.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the display unit that the invention proposes this constituted from a column (1), preferably prismatic rectangular on which a plurality of bushings (2) solidly attached to the column (1) and properly distanced from each other as well as from the column, mutual distancing which, as previously stated, will be variable, appropriate in each case to the joint height of the trays  (3) that complement the mentioned column (1), together with the thickness of the pieces that are planned to be exhibited on the same.

Column (1) will be finished off at its tip lower leg (4) long enough to provide it with the due stability against the loads to be borne, such as it has been represented in figure (1), or it may lack such legs, when it is intended to be fixed murally as in the case of figure 2, in which the column (1) has holes (5) for screwing to the wall.

Going back to the trays (3), you are are likely to adopt triple configurations such as shown in figures 3, 4, 7 and 9, but in any case incorporate a cap in correspondence with one of its vertices (6) intended to be coupled by axial overlap to one of the bushings (2) of the column (1), so that once coupled all trays (3) to said column (1) an axis (7) crosses simultaneously all the bushings (2) and (6), becoming the axis of rotation for the trays (3), limited rotation by means of stops (8), which can be interchangeably attached to the trays (3) or the structural element (1), but constituting in any case a limiting element of the relative movement between both elements. Specifically in the example of the figures the stops (8) they are integral to the trays (3), as observed especially in the figure (7).

It only remains to point out finally, as already stated noted above, that the trays (3) can be of different nature, depending on the type of product to be obtained, and which may optionally be assisted by a perimeter frame (9) that conceals its edge, as shown in figure (5) and provided for quadrangular trays like the one in figure 9.

In this way an exhibitor is achieved that incorporates a considerable number of trays (3) that play in overlapping and considerably spaced planes, trays that can accumulate on one side of the display, in a position in which they hide mostly with each other, with the exception from which it occupies the upper extreme position, and from here each tray (3) can rotate 90º to the opposite side of the furniture, clearly showing the pieces located in the same.
