Description

DEVICE FOR PLACING A PRESENTATION MEDIUM

  The present invention relates to a device for setting up an information presentation medium, in particular a flexible support. The invention finds application particularly, but not only, in the field of the presentation of advertising type information and sales promotion.

  More specifically, in the area of sales promotion, it has become important to be able to present information in different places (ODV or occasion to be seen) on information carriers sometimes very large, thanks to setting up easily and with which we can renew frequently the message presented.

  The specific systems existing in the state of the art do not provide a real practical solution to this problem.

  We can distinguish two categories of information presentation systems, depending on whether the information carrier used is laid flat (on a wall for example), or fixed perpendicularly to a wall or a post for example, as in the case of a kakemono. Subsequently, we will use the term support to designate any type of information medium such as a kakemono, a screen, a panel, etc ...

  The information must often be presented at height or in places that are difficult to access, hence the interest of telescopic systems. Existing telescopic structure systems are generally in the retracted position for placement of the support on the structure, and in the deployed position when the support is set up at the exposure location. In the particular case of a place of exposure at height, such systems may be deployed from top to bottom, for example from the roof, or from the bottom to the top, for example from the ground. In both cases, when the support is in the exposure position, these systems leave visible and accessible the entire telescopic guide. The path of the telescopic guide remains permanently occupied. They are therefore bulky systems.

  Holding in the extended position also increases the risk of damage to the telescopic guide. Accessibility also facilitates deterioration.

  In addition, these systems do not take into account the flexible characteristic of the information medium (canvas or tarpaulin printed for example) that generates wind-type constraints and application of a voltage appropriate to the support.

  The invention therefore aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a device for setting up easily and quickly, particularly at high altitude or in difficult to access places, an information presentation medium, in particular, but not only, advertising type.

  The device according to the invention makes it possible to present information on an information medium, by means of at least one telescopic guide comprising a fixed part and at least one part movable with respect to said fixed part, and comprising at least two means fixing the information carrier on said movable portion of said telescopic guide. A deployment means furthermore makes it possible to deploy and retract the mobile part of said telescopic guide with respect to the fixed part of the latter.

  The device according to the invention is further characterized in that one of said means for fixing the information carrier on the mobile part of the telescopic guide is itself movable relative to said movable part.

  Said means of deployment of the device according to the invention also makes it possible to move one of said fixing means relative to the other, from a first position to a second position and vice versa, and to adjust the tension of the support of information between the two fastening means.

  In a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, the telescopic guide comprises, in addition to the fixed part, at least two moving parts, a first of these two mobile parts being movable relative to said fixed part, and the second movable portion being movable relative to said first movable portion.

  Preferably, when the information carrier is flexible and kakemono type being perpendicular to the telescopic guide, said means for fixing said information carrier on said telescopic guide are brackets connected by one of their ends perpendicularly to the telescopic guide.

  Also preferably, when the information carrier is of the flexible support type lying flat against the telescopic guide, the device according to the invention comprises at least two other telescopic guides parallel to the first and arranged on each side thereof, the support information being fixed by its central axis to the first telescopic guide by two first fastening means and fixed to the other telescopic guides each time two other fastening means.

  The features and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly and in a more complete manner, on reading the following description of the preferred embodiments, which are given by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the appended drawings in which: Figure la shows schematically a first embodiment of the device according to the invention in the low position, in the case of the establishment of the bottom up of a support kakemono type, Figure lb schematically represents a 2860331 4 first variant embodiment of the device according to the invention, in a first intermediate position, in the case of placing the bottom upward of a kakemono-type support, - Figure 1c schematically represents a first variant embodiment of the device according to the invention, in a second intermediate position, in the case of the introduction of the bottom up of the a support of kakemono type, - Figure 1d schematically shows a first embodiment of the device according to the invention, in the upper position, in the case of the establishment of the bottom up of a support type kakemono, FIG. 2 a diagrammatically represents a second alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention, in the low position, in the case of placing from the bottom to the top of a flat-bed support, FIG. 2 b schematically represents a second alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention, in an intermediate position, in the case of the introduction from the bottom to the top of a flat-type support flat, Figure 2c schematically shows a second embodiment of the invention. device according to the invention, in the upper position, in the case of the introduction from the bottom to the top of a flat-type support flat.

  FIGS. 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d show schematically a first variant embodiment of the device according to the invention 20 respectively in the lower position, in the first intermediate position, in the second intermediate position and in the high position, in the case of the implementation of FIG. place from the bottom to the top of a kakemono support.

  In these 4 figures is shown a device with a telescopic guide (2) having a fixed portion (3), a first portion (4a) movable relative to the fixed portion (3), and a second portion (4) movable. compared to the first part (4a). The information carrier (1) is for example a flexible fabric hooked in its lower part to a bracket itself fixed to the lower end of the second movable part (4) of the telescopic guide (2) by a first means fastening (5), and hooked in its upper part to a bracket itself fixed to the second mobile part (4) by a second fixing means (6) movable relative to the second movable part (4) of the telescopic guide (2). At the top of the device is the means (7) for deploying (and retracting) the telescopic guide (2). In this embodiment of the device according to the invention where the deployment is from top to bottom and the retraction is from bottom to top, it will be called this means (7) lifting means. It may be for example an assembly known in itself and comprising a winch (7a) and a cable (7b) connecting the mobile fixing means (6) to the winch (7a), and controlled by a control means ( 9). Finally, the device according to the invention can be equipped with means (10) for measuring the wind force, of anemometer type for example, in order to prohibit or limit the operation of the assembly under conditions excessive weather (that is to say exceeding a threshold nrdefined) in relation to the wind resistance presented by the device and the risk of veiling of the resulting assembly.

  3o In Figure la, the assembly is presented with the telescopic guide (2) fully deployed. The first mobile part of this telescopic guide (2) is therefore in the maximum down position. It is the same for the second mobile part (4) of the telescopic guide (2), movable relative to the first movable part (4b) of this telescopic guide (2). The movable fixing means (6) of the support (1) on the second mobile part (4) of the telescopic guide (2) is also in the maximum down position. The support (1) is therefore completely relaxed, accessible, and easy to remove, for example for the purpose of cleaning or replace it with another medium with other information.

  In FIG. 1b, the assembly is represented with the telescopic guide (2) completely deployed, but with the movable fixing means (6) in the high position relative to the second movable part (4). Indeed, from the stage shown in FIG. 1a, if the user actuates the control means (9) to give the retraction instruction, and therefore the lifting instruction in this variant embodiment, the winch is put into service, making sliding from bottom to top the movable fixing means (6) with respect to the second mobile part (4) of the telescopic guide (2), until this movable fixing means (6) abuts in the high portion of the second movable portion (4). This movable fixing means (6) is then in its maximum high position relative to the second movable part (4), and the support (1) is completely stretched.

  In Figure 1c, the assembly is shown with the telescopic guide (2) partially retracted. Indeed, from the stage shown in Figure 1b, if the user continues to operate the control means (9) to continue to give the instruction retractation, so lifting in this embodiment, the means of movable attachment (6) having abutted in the upper portion of the second movable portion (4) of the telescopic guide (2), and continuing to be 3o hoisted, drives the second movable portion (4) which slides upwards relative to to the first movable portion (4a) until it reaches itself abutting in the upper portion of this first movable portion (4a).

  Finally, in Figure 1d, the assembly is shown with the telescopic guide (2) completely retracted. Indeed, from the stage shown in Figure 1c, if the user continues to operate the control means (9) to continue to give the retraction instruction, so lifting in this embodiment, the means of movable attachment (6) abutting at the top of the second movable part (4) itself abuts at the top of the first movable part (4a) of the telescopic guide (2), and continuing to be hoisted, drives the first movable part ( 4a) which slides upwards with respect to the fixed part (3) until it reaches itself in abutment in the upper portion of this fixed part (3). The device is then in its exposure position, that is to say with the support (1) at a good height, completely stretched, and with the telescopic guide (2) completely retracted so inaccessible, to obtain visibility telescopic guide (2) reduced to a minimum and visibility of the information presented on the support (1) brought to the maximum, and thus minimize the risk of damage to the telescopic guide (2).

  The principle of deployment of the telescopic guide down, allowing to descend and relax the support (1), respects the same steps as those described above, but in a different order of course.

  FIGS. 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d show schematically a second variant embodiment of the device according to the invention, respectively in the low position, in the intermediate position, and in the high position, in the case of the introduction from the bottom to the top of the a flat canvas type support.

  In these 4 figures is shown a device with a first central telescopic guide (2), and two lateral telescopic guides (2 ', 2 ") parallel to the first.These three telescopic guides comprise respectively fixed parts (3,3', 3 fixed in fixed parts (3,3 ', 3 ") fixed at height, parts (4,4', 4") movable relative to the fixed parts (3,3 ', 3 ") respectively The information carrier (1) is, for example, a flexible flat cloth hooked in its lower part respectively to the lower ends of the movable parts (4, 4 ', 4 ") of the telescopic guides (2,2', 2). ") by fixing means (5,5 ', 5"), and hooked in its upper part to the fixing means (6,61,6 ") moving respectively relative to the moving parts (4,4', 4") ) Telescopic guides (2,2 ', 2 ") At the top of the device is the means (7) of deployment (and retraction) We will call here again lifting means (7) , since in this embodiment of the device according to the invention, the deployment is from top to bottom and the retraction is from bottom to top. It may be for example an assembly known in itself and comprising a winch (7a) and a cable (7b) connecting the movable fixing means (6) of the telescopic guide (2) to the winch (7b), and controlled by a control means (9). Optionally, one can consider using a lifting means for each telescopic guide to improve the operation. Thus, there will be two means of raising-1p (7'1 Pt (7 ")), for example, including the winches (7a ', 7a") and the cables (7b', 7b ") respectively. it is also possible to use a control device for synchronizing the operation of each of the lifting means Finally, the device according to the invention can be equipped with a means (10) for measuring the force of the wind, anemometer type for example, in order to prohibit or limit the operation of the assembly in too severe weather conditions (that is to say exceeding a predefined threshold) with respect to the wind resistance presented by the device and the risk of veiling of the resulting set.

  The operation of the device in this second variant is identical to that of the device of the first variant, except operation will not be detailed again.

  In FIG. 2a, the assembly is presented with the telescopic guides (2, 2 ', 2 ") completely deployed The parts (4, 4', 4") of the telescopic guides (2, 2 ', 2 "), respectively movable relative to the fixed parts (3,3 ', 3 ") of these telescopic guides (2,2', 2"), are therefore in the maximum down position.The movable fixing means (6,6 ', 6 ") ) of the support (1) respectively on the moving parts (4,4 ', 4 ") of the telescopic guides (2,2,2") are also in the maximum down position. The support (1) is therefore completely relaxed, lo accessible, and easy to remove, for example for the purpose of cleaning or replace it with another medium with other information.

  In FIG. 2b, the assembly is represented with the telescopic guides (2, 2 ', 2 ") completely deployed, but with the movable fixing means (6, 6', 6") in the maximum high position respectively relative to to the moving parts (4,4 ', 4 ") .The support (1) is therefore completely stretched, but still in the low position.

  Finally, in FIG. 2c, the assembly is represented with the telescopic guides (2, 2 ', 2 ") completely retracted, the device is then in the exposure position, that is to say with the support (1 The telescopic guides (2,2 ', 2 ") are fully retracted, so they are inaccessible, allowing visibility of these telescopic guides (2,2', 2") reduced to minimum and a visibility of the information presented on the support (1) brought to the maximum, and thus minimize the risk of damage to the telescopic guides (2,2 ', 2 ").

  The description of these different embodiments is given merely by way of example and is not limiting. In particular, setting up from the bottom up is only a variant embodiment. The installation can be done from top to bottom or even in a non-vertical direction: from left to right or from right to left, horizontally or diagonally, etc ... In all these cases, when the telescopic guide is deployed the information carrier is relaxed to allow its implementation on the guide, and when the telescopic guide is retracted the information carrier is stretched and said exposure position.

  Moreover, the choice of telescopic guides comprising a fixed part and two moving parts in the first variant, or a fixed part and a moving part in the second variant, is not limiting. Depending on the size of the information medium and where it is to be exhibited, telescopic guides may be used with a fixed part and three or more moving parts.

  Similarly the choice of a winch plus cable assembly to achieve deployment and retraction is not limiting. Any other system may be suitable, provided it is compact, and the deployment path is adapted. The position of this deployment system at the top of the device is not limiting either. It depends inter alia on the orientation of the device. Moreover, the choice of a remote control means is also not limiting. It may indeed be just as much a manual control means as an electrical control means, and in the latter case, with or without son for example.

  In the case of the second variant, with a flat fabric, the use of three telescopic guides is also not limiting of the invention. In a general case, depending on the size of the support, it is possible to envisage a single central telescopic guide, or more than three telescopic guides distributed in the width of the support.

  Finally, the device according to the invention is not limited to the introduction of an information presentation medium of the printed canvas or tarpaulin type. It can also find its application in the case of flexible screen type supports.
