Abstract
Description
Un présentoir selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est déjà
connu du document US-A- 2 178 652.A display unit according to the preamble of
La présente invention concerne un présentoir destiné à l'exposition à plat ou en position érigée d'une montre notamment dans les vitrines des bijouteries et des magasins spécialisés dans la vente de pièces d'horlogerie.The present invention relates to a display intended for at the flat exposure or in the erected position of a watch especially in the windows of jewelry stores and stores specializing in the sale of timepieces.
Très souvent encore, les montres sont simplement exposées à plat selon des arrangements parallèles, combinés ou encore en éventail dans les vitrines des bijouteries et autres magasins spécialisés qui les commercialisent.Very often again, watches are simply exposed flat in parallel arrangements, combined or as a fan in the windows of jewelry stores and other specialty stores that market.
On connaít néanmoins déjà des présentoirs pour montres qui permettent une présentation des montres à la fois plus claire et plus harmonieuse. Ces présentoirs connus revêtent différentes formes, des plus simples aux plus complexes. Il peut s'agir, par exemple, d'une simple bande d'un matériau semi-rigide tel que de l'aluminium pliée transversalement selon un certain angle de façon à présenter une première partie formant un piétement, et une seconde partie formant une plaque de présentation sur laquelle est fixée la montre. Ce premier type de présentoir a pour mérite d'être très simple dans ses moyens, tout en permettant une présentation des montres dynamique et attrayante. Son inconvénient réside cependant dans le fait que l'angle formé par le piétement et la plaque de présentation est fixe. Or, selon les besoins, on peut vouloir présenter la montre par exemple à plat, ou sous une certaine inclinaison. Pour répondre à cette demande, il faudrait multiplier le nombre de présentoirs, chaque famille de présentoirs présentant un angle différent entre le piétement et la plaque de présentation. Cette solution est peu commode car elle obligerait les vendeurs à conserver en stock un nombre important de ces présentoirs. However, we already know displays for watches that allow a presentation of watches to the both clearer and more harmonious. These displays known forms take many forms, from the simplest to more complex. It could be, for example, a simple strip of semi-rigid material such as aluminum folded transversely at a certain angle so that present a first part forming a base, and a second part forming a presentation plate on which is attached to the watch. This first type of display has the merit of being very simple in its means, while allowing a presentation of watches dynamic and attractive. Its drawback, however, is in the fact that the angle formed by the base and the presentation plate is fixed. However, as required, we may want to present the watch for example flat, or at a certain inclination. To respond to this request, the number of displays should be multiplied, each family of displays with an angle different between the base and the presentation plate. This solution is inconvenient because it would force the sellers to keep in stock a significant number of these displays.
D'autres types de présentoirs plus sophistiqués sont également connus. Ces présentoirs comprennent généralement une embase revêtue de la marque et du nom commercial de la montre et portant une pièce, par exemple en matière plastique injectée ou moulée, dont la géométrie est adaptée au maintien de la montre. Ces présentoirs sont le plus souvent destinés à l'exposition de montres munies d'un bracelet extensible ou possédant un fermoir dit en portefeuille ou à lames déployantes.Other types of more sophisticated displays are also known. These displays generally include a base plate bearing the brand and trade name of the shows and wears a coin, for example in material injected or molded plastic, the geometry of which is suitable for holding the watch. These displays are the more often intended for the exhibition of watches equipped an extendable bracelet or with a clasp said in wallet or folding clasp.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux problèmes et inconvénients ci-dessus en proposant un présentoir permettant de présenter une montre selon une position quelconque comprise entre une première position à plat et une seconde position érigée.The object of the present invention is to remedy the problems and disadvantages above by proposing a display to present a watch according to a any position between a first position at flat and a second position erected.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un
présentoir pour montre-bracelet ayant les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.To this end, the subject of the present invention is a
wristwatch display having the features of
Grâce à ces caractéristiques, la présente invention procure un présentoir très simple dans ses moyens et permettant de présenter une montre de façon claire et attrayante entre une position à plat, par exemple en exposition sur une étagère, et une position érigée notamment dans les vitrines extérieures des magasins de vente. Le présentoir selon l'invention est peu coûteux à fabriquer et peut en outre se substituer à tous les types de présentoir connus à l'heure actuelle.Thanks to these characteristics, the present invention provides a very simple display in its means and to present a watch clearly and attractive between a flat position, for example in exhibition on a shelf, and an erected position especially in the exterior windows of the stores of sale. The display according to the invention is inexpensive to manufacture and can also replace all types presently known display stand.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation du présentoir selon l'invention, cet exemple étant donné à titre purement illustratif et non limitatif, en liaison avec les dessins annexés dans lesquels :

Comme il ressort de la figure 1, le présentoir pour
montres selon la présente invention, désigné dans son
ensemble par la référence numérique générale 1, est
constitué d'un piétement 2 et d'une plaque de présentation
4 articulés entre eux à pivotement par l'intermédiaire
d'une charnière 6. Le présentoir 1 selon l'invention sera
réalisé en tout matériau adapté tel que, notamment, une
matière plastique injectée ou moulée.As shown in Figure 1, the display for

l'encoche 12 de façon à pouvoir, par exemple, apposer la
marque et le nom commercial de la montre exposée.The variant of
Selon une autre variante d'exécution représentée sur
la figure 2, la plaque de maintien 4 se présente sous la
forme d'une simple tige 14 généralement rectiligne. Cette
forme de réalisation est destinée à une montre 16
possédant un bracelet 18 à deux brins 20 et 22. Le
bracelet 18 est enfilé sur la tige 14 par sa boucle 24 et
arrêté en translation le long de cette tige 14 par une

la plaque de présentation 4 sur le piétement 2. Cette
charnière 6 comprend un retour semi-cylindrique 28 prévu
dans le prolongement inférieur de la plaque de
présentation 4 et s'étendant par exemple sur toute la
longueur de son bord transversal 30. Ce retour 28 délimite
une gorge circulaire 32 pour la réception d'un cylindre 34
homologue porté par le bord transversal avant 36 du
piétement 2. Grâce à ces caractéristiques, le piétement 2
peut être monté sur la plaque de présentation 4 par simple
encliquetage du cylindre 34 dans la gorge 32, sans l'aide
d'aucun outil ou accessoire.We now examine with reference to Figures 3 and 4
the
Le cylindre 34 est libre à pivotement dans la gorge
32, de sorte que la plaque de présentation 4 peut
s'étendre entre une première position à plat, à
recouvrement du piétement 2, et une seconde position
inclinée dans laquelle elle forme un angle avec ledit
piétement 2. Dans sa position à plat (figure 5), la plaque
de présentation 4 s'étend parallèlement à, et à distance
suffisante du piétement 2 pour permettre le passage du
bracelet flexible 10 de la montre 8. D'autre part, le
piétement 2 présente un décrochement rectiligne et
transversal 38 dirigé vers le bas, de sorte que ledit
piétement 2 s'étend horizontalement dans le même plan que
le contour extérieur de la gorge circulaire 32.The
Afin de pouvoir redresser la plaque de présentation 4
selon des angles importants relativement au piétement 2,
le retour semi-cylindrique 28 est réduit en longueur le
long de son bord libre 40. Cette réduction en longueur
forme une languette 42 qui pénètre dans un dégagement 44
correspondant prévu parallèlement à, et entre le cylindre
34 et le bord avant 36 correspondant du piétement 2.In order to be able to straighten the
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention,
