Definitions

  • This invention relates to display devices and in particular to display devices having moving components.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to display devices of the type made of plastic materials sold under the trade mark Corflute (and other trade marks), which is an extruded sheet having two spaced face members and parallel divisions which divide the area of the sheet into a number of parallel cells.
  • Corflute and other trade marks
  • the space left on the sign onto which the price can be placed by the use of a felt pen, marker or the like and, in some applications, the space could be in the form of a blackboard upon which a chalk or other type of writing implement could be used.
  • numerals made up of seven components which normally made up the numeral 8 but from which any other required numeral can be made simply by blanking out one or more of the components.
  • the numerals displayed are in a form similar to those displayed from a LED.
  • a further form of sign which practically is not dissimilar to the one described above, the numerals can be provided on the sign by a die cutting and various selected components can be removed to provide the required display.
  • a first object of the invention is to provide a sign which enables the price to be readily changed and thus gives the sign a good long term life.
  • Another disadvantage with signs of this general type is that it is often desirable to change certain of the information which appears on the sign and a second object of the invention is to provide a sign whereby this can readily be done.
  • the invention is its broadest sense comprises a sign having a face of sheet material having cutout components so located as to be able to form any required letter or numeral, the cutouts being so arranged as to be able to be inverted to present their second face which is contrasting in appearance to the front face whereby on correct selection of the cutouts a letter or numeral can be displayed.
  • the cutouts are in the forms of elongated diamonds and in respect of each of these, there is a pivotal member passing through a central portion whereby the sign can adopt its required positions by rotation and without removal of any of the components.
  • the numerals are normally provided in a display having seven bars, which, when all exposed show a numeral 8, when the central horizontal bar is not exposed shows a numeral 0, and the other numerals are all attainable, in a matter similar to that in which they would appear on an LED or other device.
  • the invention provides a sign having changeable material including a pair of spaced slits or the like in the sign body, the variable material being on a flat sheet which can pass through the slits and be located so the required information is displayed and means to hold the material relative to the body.
  • Fig 1 shows a portion of a sign which can display any numeral with all of the components rotated to illustrate the numeral 8;
  • Fig 2 is a view similar to that of Fig 1 with one of the components rotated to illustrate the numeral 6;
  • Fig 3 is a view of portion of the sign showing in dashed line, the method of location of two of the components;
  • Fig 4 is a front view of the second form of sign.
  • Fig 5 is a side elevation of the sign of Fig 4.
  • I preferably use a plastics board 10 of the type sold under the trade mark Corflute but, as previously indicated, I could use corrugated cardboard or some other material.
  • the two sides of the board are of contrasting colours, such as black and white, so that when any of the components 11 are rotated, there is a contrast on each face of the sign.
  • the diameter of the rod used is each case smaller than the width of the passage 16.
  • the passage is approximately one and a half to twice as wide as the height of the divider and the use of small diameter rod enables sufficient freedom so that, no matter where the components are formed relative to the body of the Corflute backing, there will be sufficient movement of the component relative to the rod to permit the component to be located in the aperture from which it was removed but with its opposite face being outwardly directed.
  • the rods may be preferably of a hollow plastic extrusion and may be formed at least at one end to either return into the same passage in the board so as to firmly locate therein or, alternatively, and as illustrated, to return into an adjacent passage in the board.
  • the sign could be provided with a backing sheet and the removable sections could be physically removed, reversed and reinserted and these can either be held against a backing sheet or alternatively, the backing sheet could have a ready release adhesive thereon so that the cutout portions are held there against although they can be readily removed or replaced.
  • An arrangement such as this does provide means whereby a wider range of shapes can readily be provided.
  • components on an angle to the remainder to the sign can be provided and as these do not need to be pivoted, any required position can be used.
  • the components could be provided with slightly non-parallel sides so that on replacement there is a certain deformation which will act to keep the portion in place.
  • I provide means whereby certain information can be displayed on signs of this type.
  • I provide a sheet or strip of material 20 which has each individual product marked thereon and in the required position on the body of the sign, I can provide two spaced split lines 21a 21b so that the strip of material 20 can be passed through one of the lines 21a from behind, over the face 24 of the sign between the two lines and through the other split line 21b so that a portion of the strip of material 20 extends outwardly from the face of the sign.
  • the back of the sign and the strip can be provided with locating means 22, which could be Velcro or similar material so that the strip can be located in the required position.
  • the strip is simply released, moved until the other position is reached and then again locked into position or removed and replaced with another strip.

Abstract

Ce panneau d'affichage comporte un tableau (10) qui peut être composé de Corflute3 ou d'un matériau analogue, dans lequel ont été découpés à l'emporte-pièce, dans des positions requises, des éléments (11) qui peuvent être retournés, les deux côtés du tableau (10) étant de différentes couleurs. Cet agencement est conçu de façon que, lorsque les éléments (11) sont retournés, ils peuvent afficher un nombre, une lettre ou autre. Les éléments peuvent être mis en rotation, par rapport au tableau (10), par l'intermédiaire de tiges (15) qui s'étendent vers le bas à travers des passages ménagés dans le tableau et l'élément. L'invention se rapporte également à un panneau d'affichage dans lequel un élément en bande peut passer à travers des fentes pratiquées dans le corps de façon que des inscriptions particulières sur la bande peuvent être observées lorsque l'on regarde le corps.
