Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for holding one or more sheets of paper or the like in a substantially vertical position.
- the devices of the prior art are not entirely satisfactory and have many drawbacks due to their configuration, their size or their fragility, for example.
- Some devices are in the form of an easel provided with means for holding the sheet or sheets on a support surface and are in particular very bulky to take with you.
- Other devices are constituted by a monobloc member provided with a slot inside which the sheets are introduced.
- these devices hide part of the sheet and the information it contains, and are moreover only slightly adapted to the variations in the number of sheets which it is desired to keep vertical.
- the invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks using simple, reliable and easy to implement means. Its objective is to allow the maintenance of several sheets of paper in a substantially vertical position using a space-saving, stable device which hides nothing or almost nothing from the text or images present on the sheet.
- the support device according to the invention intended to maintain at least one sheet of paper or the like in a substantially vertical position, is characterized in that it comprises at least one rear support wall and two side walls front support advantageously separated by a hollow central profile.
- the rear support wall is a curved face of radius R, inclined towards the rear.
- the rear support wall and the two front side support walls constitute two retaining spaces forming two lateral retaining housings intended to receive the lower edge of the sheet.
- each of the sheet retaining housings widens downwards to be narrower at the top than at the bottom.
- the two lateral front support walls are integral with a front projection to form an elastically movable assembly.
- the front projection is articulated elastically relative to the rear wall along the bottoms of the retaining housings.
- the lateral retaining housings are slightly inclined upwards and backwards to form an angle ⁇ .
- the hollow profile constitutes gripping means intended to allow movement of the device with the sheet or sheets when it is in the position for holding said sheets.
- FIGS 1 to 11 illustrate the preferred embodiment of the sheet support device according to the invention and an alternative embodiment thereof.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the sheet support device in the sheet holding position.
- Figure 2a is a perspective view of the sheet support device alone.
- Figure 2b illustrates in another perspective view the device alone.
- Figure 3 is a top view of the sheet support device.
- Figure 4 is a side view of the sheet support device.
- Figure 5 is a front view of the sheet support device.
- Figure 6 is a rear view of the sheet support device.
- Figure 7 is a sectional view along AA of the sheet support device.
- Figure 8 is a sectional view along BB of the sheet support device.
- Figures 9 and 10 illustrate a variant of the sheet support device disposed on a computer hardware monitor.
- Figure 11 illustrates in a view similar to Figure 8, an alternative embodiment of the sheet support device.
- the device according to the invention bearing the general reference (1) is a support intended to hold one or more sheets of paper or the like (2) in a substantially vertical position so that it can be read by a user as shown in FIG. 1.
- the sheet support device (1) comprises holding means (MM) of the sheet or sheets (2) which allow the sheets to be blocked in the device (1), on the one hand, and which allow them positioning in a substantially vertical or very slightly inclined plane, on the other hand.
- These holding means (MM) comprise at least two lateral retaining housings (6a, 6b) intended to cooperate with an edge of the sheet or sheets (2).
- this advantageously has a transverse plane of symmetry (P) and comprises at least one rear support wall (3) and two side walls d 'front support (4a, 4b) advantageously separated by a hollow central profile (5) as shown in Figures 2a, 3 and 5.
- the rear support wall (3) and the two front side support walls (4a, 4b) constitute two retaining spaces (6a, 6b) or lateral retaining housings which are intended to advantageously receive the lower edge (7) of the sheet (2).
- the lateral retaining housings (6a, 6b) are spaced apart by a distance (d) advantageously greater than 3 cm so as to be able to hold the sheet in two separate places sufficiently distant from each other. This distance (d) between the retaining spaces can advantageously be chosen to be substantially equal to 4.5 cm.
- each of the lateral retaining housings (6a, 6b) is inclined backwards to form an angle ( ⁇ ) with the vertical.
- the sheet is retained slightly inclined upwards (HA) and the rear (AR), at this same angle.
- the inclination of the retaining housings (6a, 6b) is identical, the angle ( ⁇ ) corresponding to this inclination measured between the rear support wall (3) and the vertical being chosen between 2 ° and 15 ° and advantageously being less than or equal to 5 ° so as not to tilt the sheets (2) which are held too much.
- the lateral retaining housings (6a, 6b) each have a slightly curved shape in a horizontal transverse plane.
- the rounded shape of the retaining housings is obtained by the curvature of the support face of the rear support wall (3) and by that of the walls front support sides (4a, 4b).
- the rear support wall (3) is a curved face of radius (RI) inclined slightly towards the rear, while the front side support walls have a radius of curvature less than that (RI) of the wall rear (3), but are arranged on a concentric circle so that in each horizontal transverse plane each lateral housing (4a, 4b) has a constant width (L1).
- the front support walls and the rear support wall could be located on respective non-concentric circles.
- the side support walls could no longer be arranged on the same circle, but on different circles.
- the width (L1) of the lateral spaces varies in a horizontal plane.
- the curvature of the lateral retaining spaces (6a, 6b) is advantageously intended to give the sheet of paper (2) a substantially similar curvature to provide it with the rigidity necessary for keeping it in position.
- the rear support wall (3) is a curved, solid face, which joins the two spaces or lateral retaining housings (6a, 6b); it thus contributes to giving a curvature to the sheet of paper (2).
- the front support walls (4a, 4b) have the same inclination as the rear support wall (3) and are parallel to it.
- the width (L1) of the lateral retaining housings (6a, 6b) is constant in a vertical plane.
- it could be otherwise as shown in the alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 11.
- the sheet support device (1) is intended to make it possible to maintain either a small number of sheets (2) or a set of much more sheets.
- blocking means intended to allow the blocking of the sheets (2) in the lateral retaining spaces (6a, 6b) by pinching whatever the thickness presented by the set of retained sheets.
- the locking means (MB) advantageously consist of a front projection (9) which carries the two front side support walls (4a, 4b) and which forms with these an assembly, said assembly being movable elastically relative to the base (10) of the device (1) which carries the rear support wall (3).
- the base (10) advantageously has a central recess (11) whose shape is complementary to that of the projection (9) in order to allow it to be stressed according to (F). It goes without saying that the sheet blocking means could be obtained by equivalent devices having a different configuration without departing from the protective field of the invention.
- the front projection (9) has between its front side support walls (4a, 4b) a central hollow profile (5), as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Said profile allows in particular the user to be able to see the sheet (2) between the lateral retaining housings (6a, 6b).
- this hollow profile (5) also constitutes gripping means intended to allow the user to move the sheet support device (1) when he maintains one or more sheets without having to remove and then put back the retained sheets.
- the central recess (5) allows the user to insert one or two fingers to block the sheets (2) against the rear wall with the back of his fingers, the user then takes with the thumb the front end (21) of the device by forming a clamp with his hand.
- the hollow profile (5) has a maximum distance (d2) with the rear wall of between 1 and 2 cm, advantageously chosen equal to 1.5 cm.
- the rear wall (3) has a semicircular profile in longitudinal projection, as shown in FIG. 6.
- the maximum height (h) of the rear wall is advantageously between 2 and 5 cm and is chosen, for example, equal to 3 cm in order to be able to block the sheets (2) against said wall
- the rear wall (3) has along its rear face at the lower edge a widening (25) to extend rearward (AR) in transverse planes as shown in Figures 7 and 8
- This enlargement (25) is intended to allow obtaining a better stability of the support device (1), especially when it is in the position for holding several sheets.
- the support device (1) is advantageously made of plastic by an injection process. Thus, it consists of a single piece and can advantageously be colored in the mass. It goes without saying that the support device could be made of any other material, wood, metal or other, or by different methods without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
- this allows the sheet or sheets (2) to be held on the side of a computer monitor (30). It advantageously comprises fixing means, integral with the base (10), the external face of the rear wall (3) or the front projection (9) and intended to allow the positioning of the support device (1) laterally on the side of the monitor. In this way, users have direct and easy access to information to enter it on the computer.
- the fixing means are arranged on the external face of the rear wall (3) and the sheet or sheets (2) are immobilized between the central recess (11) of the base and the front projection (9).
- the sheets (2) are conventionally inserted in the lateral housings and the stress on the front walls (4a, 4b) against the rear wall (3) which constitutes the sheet blocking means (2) is reinforced so as to allow the sheets to be pinched firmly. Additional elastic biasing means can be envisaged to obtain sufficient blocking of the sheets.
- each of the sheet retaining housings widens downwards (BA) to be narrower at the top than at the bottom.
- the inclination of the front support walls (4a, 4b) is different from the inclination of the rear wall (3) and thus allows the distance (Ll) between the walls which form the lateral retaining spaces (6a , 6b) to vary longitudinally in a transverse vertical plane so that the lateral housings have a throttle (20) upwards.
- front projection (9) could be made of several elements.
