Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for presenting unitary elements with relative positions which can be modified in a plane.
  • the invention is more particularly intended for the presentation or exhibition of photographs, postcards and / or drawings.
  • the presentation and / or exhibition of such elements can be done for commercial and / or simply decorative purposes.
  • the device according to the invention is inspired by the well-known game of "teasing". From the teasing game, a puzzle game has also been devised as described in document FR-A-765605. However, if the aforementioned games are intended to reconstruct an assembly from parts which individually are meaningless or irrelevant, on the contrary, the device according to the invention makes it possible to present a composition of unitary elements.
  • the device for presenting elements with relative positions which can be modified in a plane is provided in known manner with a chassis frame of generally rectangular shape and with a plurality of rectangular sub-frames, identical to each other and mounted side by side. side by side in the chassis frame, movably with respect to each other, the dimensions of said sub-frames being such that they cover the entire free surface of the chassis frame with the exception of a surface corresponding to the location of a sub-frame, to allow the movement of said sub-frames, this device being remarkable in that each sub -frame is constituted by a support element mounted movably in the chassis frame and on which is fixed a protective element, the latter and said support being designed to receive and maintain at will and visibly one of the elements to be presented .
  • each sub-frame is for example provided laterally with sliding means of the type with ribs and grooves
  • two adjacent sides of each sub-frame each have a groove constituted by a succession of fine ribs arranged alternately at the level upper and lower level of the edge of the side considered while the other two sides each have a rib arranged substantially in the middle of the edge of the side considered.
  • at least one of the ribs has at least one notch.
  • At least the central part of the upper face of the protective element is transparent or hollowed out, the element to be presented being visible through the transparent or hollowed out part of said protective element.
  • the protective element is constituted by a cover at least partially transparent or hollowed out which includes means for a removable fixing intended to cooperate with conjugated means arranged on the support element, the element unitary to be presented being disposed between the support element and said cover.
  • the protective element comprises a bottom which can be fitted into the support element and a cover at least partly transparent or hollowed out intended for to be fixed removably on said bottom, the element to be presented being disposed between said bottom and said cover.
  • the cover is arranged to come to fit on or in the bottom of the protective element or else it is advantageously mounted on the bottom of the protective element in an articulated manner.
  • each sub-frame comprises at least one projecting or recessed shape, intended to facilitate the handling of said sub-frame for its movement.
  • an additional blocking element can be arranged to removably close off the free space in order to block and unblock all of the sub-frames at will, said additional element being able for example to include a rib which is arranged on only one of its sides and a groove which is arranged on the side opposite to the latter.
  • the invention is more particularly intended for the presentation of unitary elements in the form of photographs, it may also be drawings, postcards or other decorative elements or not.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a chassis frame 1 ( Figures 1 and 2) in which are arranged side by side, several sub-frames 2 of the same dimensions.
  • each of the dimensions of a sub-frame is a submultiple of the corresponding dimension of the free surface of the chassis frame.
  • the rectangular frame frame can of course be square, while each sub-frame will preferably have the shape of a square. If Figure 1 shows a chassis frame 1 of square shape, Figure 2 shows a rectangular chassis frame.
  • the chassis frame has a bottom 3 and four sides 1a , 1b, 1c and 1d (Figure 1) of which two adjacent sides 1a and 1b are provided with an internal rib and the other two sides 1c and 1d with a groove for sliding. sub-frames 2.
  • Each sub-frame 2 comprises a support element 2a, and a protective element formed by a bottom 2b and a cover 2c (1a Figure 1 shows all of these elements).
  • the support element 2a is shown in more detail in FIGS. 3 to 6.
  • the element 2a here hollowed out in its center, which is not obligatory, has on two adjacent sides ribs 4a, 4b and on the other two sides of the grooves 5a, 5b.
  • the ribs and grooves of an element are provided to cooperate with the grooves and the ribs of the contiguous elements respectively and / or with the grooves and ribs of the chassis frame 1.
  • the grooves 5a, 5b are advantageously formed in three parts 5'a, 5''a, 5 '' 'a and 5'b, 5''b , 5 '' 'b alternately at the top and bottom (see more particularly Figure 5).
  • the ribs 4a, 4b are they provided with a notch 6a, 6b, which will be discussed below, so that each rib 4a, 4b is in two parts 4'a, 4''a and 4'b , 4 ⁇ b. According to the embodiment shown, it can also be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4 that one passes practically without discontinuity from the part 4''a of the rib 4a on one side to the part 4'b of the rib 4b of the adjacent side. Likewise, we pass from the upper part 5'a of the groove 5a on one side to the equivalent part 5 '' 'b of the groove 5b on the adjacent side.
  • the element 2a also has a peripheral rim 7 (FIG. 3) which will also be discussed below.
  • Figures 7 to 10 show the element 2b intended to form the bottom of a protective element.
  • This element 2b is essentially flat on top and has, on the other hand, a flange 8 (FIGS. 8 to 10) on its lower face provided in places with slight protrusions 9.
  • the protrusions 9 are intended to snap under the rim 7 of the element 2a, said rim 7 having for this purpose an appropriate shape as shown more particularly in FIG. 10.
  • FIGS 11 to 13 show more particularly the cover 2c intended to be articulated on the element 2b.
  • the cover 2c is provided on a peripheral rim 10 (FIGS. 12, 13, 14) with openings 11 intended to form a hinge. by cooperating with projections 12 arranged on the element 2b ( Figures 7 and 14).
  • Figure 14 also shows the cover 2c in the closed position in solid lines and in the open position in broken lines.
  • the cover 2c can also be fixed to the element 2b by any means, such as projections and openings or any other latching means, provided for example on the side opposite to the articulated side.
  • the cover 2c is also provided with protrusions 13 on the top (FIGS. 11 to 14) in order to facilitate the handling of the sub-frames 2 formed by the assembly of the elements 2a, 2b, 2c.
  • This element 14 is constituted similarly to element 2a but it is provided with a single rib 15 in two parts 15 'and 15' 'separated by a notch 16 and with a single groove 17 in three parts 17', 17 '', 17 '' ', fitted on the opposite side to that equipped with said rib 15.
  • the groove 17 is less pronounced than that of the elements 2a while the other two sides have neither rib nor groove (just a notch 18 on one of the free sides ).
  • the sub-frames 2 Before their installation, at least some of the sub-frames 2 receive a drawing or a photograph or a postcard or other element to be presented which is arranged between the bottom 2b and the cover 2c, the latter being made of transparent or even hollowed out materials. in its central part.
  • the elements to be presented are shown diagrammatically under the reference 19.
  • each cassette 2b, 2c can be simplified as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19.
  • a 2''c cover can directly fit onto a 2''a element (Figure 19), which is then slightly raised above its grooves and its ribs relative to the element 2a described above.
  • Figure 19 there are shown two elements side by side. In this case, it is also possible to provide gripping means for easily dislodging the cover 2 '' c.
