Definitions

  • the invention relates to a prism for the presentation of information carriers, such as e.g. Posters in display devices, the Prima being equipped with translucent side surfaces, interior lighting and fastening means for the information carriers or parts thereof.
  • information carriers such as e.g. Posters in display devices
  • the Prima being equipped with translucent side surfaces, interior lighting and fastening means for the information carriers or parts thereof.
  • a display device with prisms in which a plurality of triangular prisms are arranged side by side in a frame, these prisms being rotatable about their axes.
  • Information carriers are arranged on the side surfaces of each prism, which parts of an overall information, e.g. of a poster or other information display. These information carrier parts are glued to the side surfaces of the prisms, fixed or releasable adhesive connections being used. Since the prism side surfaces are made of aluminum, the information image to be displayed cannot be backlit, but additional lighting elements are required which illuminate the information surface from the front. This arrangement results in a relatively poor illumination of the overall image, and the exchange of the information carriers which are applied to the prisms is very complex.
  • the prisms from translucent material, for example acrylic glass, and to arrange interior lighting inside the prism, so that the information to be displayed is illuminated from behind. Also serve as a fastener for the information carrier or Parts of it on the prism side faces adhesive connections.
  • the exchange of the information carriers or parts thereof is also complex here, and under certain circumstances the entire display devices have to be dismantled, ie the prisms have to be removed in order to be able to properly mount the information carriers on the side surface of the prisms.
  • these arrangements have the disadvantage that undesired light effects occur along the longitudinal edges of the prisms, which can considerably disrupt the overall picture which is formed from the prism surfaces arranged next to one another. These disturbing light effects occur as a result of the direct radiation of the interior lighting and the additional reflection of light rays against the edge areas in the translucent material.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a prism for display devices, in which the information carrier or parts thereof can be replaced and installed easily and quickly, which has permanent and inexpensive to manufacture fasteners, and in which the undesirable light effects in the Areas of the longitudinal edges are avoided.
  • each additional element arranged over the entire area of the longitudinal edges of the prism form, on the one hand, the fastening means for the information carriers and, on the other hand, a shielding device for the disturbing light effects in the area of the longitudinal edges.
  • the inventive construction of each additional element from a central connecting part and two translucent arranged on each side of the connecting part Cover strips enable a simple connection of the additional elements with the prisms in the longitudinal edge areas and the covering of the longitudinal edges and a narrow area on both sides of the side surfaces of the prisms.
  • the connection by means of a suitably shaped groove in the longitudinal edges of the prism enables the advantageous and inexpensive application of an adhesive connection between the connecting part of the additional element and the longitudinal edge region of the prism.
  • connection can also be established in a known manner by welding processes or clamp connections. Due to the cover strips arranged on both sides of the connecting part, holders or guides for the information carriers are created in the edge regions of each side surface of the prism along the longitudinal edges. This arrangement has the advantage that the information carriers or parts thereof, for example in the form of strips of a poster, are inserted between these cover strips and the respective side surface of the prism, which can be done quickly and without additional measures. The information carriers are also removed in a simple manner by pulling the information carriers out of the space between the cover strips and the side surface of the prism.
  • This type of attachment of the information carrier to the prism side surfaces enables a quick and easy exchange, but also has the advantage that length changes due to temperature changes of the different materials can be compensated for by appropriate choice of dimensions and the information carrier is always flat and without kinks on the side surfaces of the prism is present.
  • the arrangement also has the advantage that in order to eliminate the disturbing light effects on the longitudinal edge regions of the prisms, it is not necessary to additionally process the voluminous prisms, but rather the corresponding measures according to the invention can be carried out on the additional elements.
  • the corresponding coatings can be applied to the additional elements in a simple manner and can also be easily applied to the Needs to be adjusted.
  • Known translucent plastics or other materials with the same properties are suitable as materials for the additional elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the configuration of a prism 1, with further prisms arranged parallel to it being indicated by dashed lines.
  • These prisms 1 are part of a display device which in particular comprises a rectangular frame (not shown) in which the prisms 1 are mounted and which has drives for rotating the prisms about their axis of rotation.
  • Each of the prisms 1 consists of three side surfaces 4, 5, 6 which collide in the longitudinal edges 8, 9 and 10 and thus one Form a prism with a triangular cross section.
  • the side surfaces 4, 5 and 6 of the prism 1 consist of translucent material, for example acrylic glass plates with a thickness of approx. 4 mm.
  • the prisms 1 are hollow on the inside and in this cavity there is an interior light 7, in the example shown in the form of a fluorescent tube.
  • the bearings and electrical connection elements of this interior lighting 7 are also not shown.
  • an additional element 21 is fastened, which serves on the one hand as a fastening for partial areas 2 of a poster and on the other hand as a cover against undesired light emission in the edge areas.
  • the parts 2 of a poster which are arranged on the forward-facing side surface 5 of the prisms 1, compose an entire image and form the complete information carrier.
  • These information carriers or poster parts 2 can be inserted into the additional elements 21 from above or can be inserted first by arching the poster part surface on one side and then laterally on the other side into the additional elements at the edge areas of the side surface 5.
  • the removal process can be carried out simply and quickly in the reverse manner.
  • display devices with the prisms according to the invention can be equipped with information carriers quickly and with little effort or existing information carriers can be exchanged for new ones.
  • the image change on the display device itself takes place in a known manner by rotating all prisms 1 about their longitudinal axis by 120 °.
  • Figure 2 shows the edge region of a prism 1, namely a cross section through the longitudinal edge 8, in which the side surfaces 4 and 5 meet. These two plates forming the side surfaces 4 and 5 are connected to one another in the edge region in a known manner by welding or gluing.
  • a longitudinal groove 20 with a rectangular cross-section is incorporated along the entire longitudinal edge 8, in which the additional element 21 is attached.
  • This additional element 21 consists of a connecting part 22 and cover strips 23 and 24 arranged on both sides of this connecting part 22.
  • the additional element 21 is composed of two profile strips 13, 14 with the same V-shaped cross section, by the outer surfaces of the inner legs 16 of the two profile strips 13, 14 lie against each other.
  • the outer legs 15 form the cover strips 23 and 24.
  • the connecting part 22 formed from the two inner legs 16 of the two profile strips 13, 14 is inserted into the groove 20 in the end region and connected to the prism 1 by means of an adhesive connection.
  • the cover strip 23 extends over a narrow edge region 25 of the side surface 5, and an intermediate space 29 is formed between this side surface 5 and the inner surface 27 of the cover strip 23.
  • the cover strip 24 covers a narrow edge region 26 of the side surface 4, and an intermediate space 29 is also formed between the inner surface 28 of the cover strip 24 and the side surface 4.
  • the two intermediate spaces 29 serve to accommodate the edge regions 11 or 12, partial areas 2 or 3, of posters.
  • edge regions 11, 12 can be pushed in or pulled out of the intermediate spaces 29 in a simple manner parallel to the side surfaces 5, 6 in the direction of the arrows 43.
  • the remaining longitudinal edges 9 and 8 of each prism 1 are provided with an additional element 21 in the same way.
  • the lighting element arranged in the interior of the prism 1 generates light rays which penetrate the side surfaces 4, 5 and 6 and thus illuminate the poster parts 2, 3. Both direct and reflected light rays in the side surfaces 4, 5 occur in the region of the longitudinal edge 8 off and can produce annoying light effects.
  • the inner surface of the two profile strips 13, 14 is at least partially equipped with an opaque coating 17. How far this coating 17 also extends over the inner surfaces 27 and 28 of the cover strips 23, 24 depends on the selected dimensions and any dimensional and temperature tolerances of all parts interacting in this area. If necessary, the head region of the connecting part 22 is also coated in the groove 20.
  • this measure is dispensed with, since the light beams are deflected in the profile strips and guided in the direction of the poster parts 2, 3.
  • This configuration of the additional elements 21 on all longitudinal edges 8, 9 and 10 of each prism 1 results in a uniform lighting effect and transition between the longitudinal edge regions of adjacent prisms 1. There are no disruptive lighting effects which disturb the overall impression of the information carrier attached to the prism 1.
  • an additional element 31 is shown, which is integrally formed.
  • the cross-sectional shape of this additional element 31 can be achieved by extrusion or by machining from the solid.
  • the additional element 31 consists of a connecting part 32 and cover strips 33, 34 arranged on both sides of this connecting part 32.
  • a V-shaped longitudinal groove 30 is worked into the longitudinal edge 8 formed by the side surfaces 4 and 5, which forms a negative shape and the End portion 40 of the connecting part 32 of the additional element 31 receives, which forms a wedge-shaped positive shape.
  • the connection between this positive and negative form is made by means of an adhesive.
  • the spaces 39 are formed between the inner surfaces 37 and 38 of the two cover strips 33 and 34 and the side surfaces 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the cover strips 33, 34 also cover only a narrow edge region 35 of the side surface 5 or 36 of the side surface 4.
  • the information carriers or poster parts 2, 3 are installed and removed in the same manner as described for FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the outer region 41 of the additional element 31 is provided with an opaque coating 42 in the solution shown in FIG.
  • the surface area which is covered by this coating 42 depends on the structural design and the tolerances of the dimensions of the different parts meeting in the longitudinal edge areas and on the dimensional changes caused by temperature differences.
  • the coating area is determined in such a way that as much of the edge regions 11, 12 of the poster parts 2, 3 as possible remains visible through the translucent cover strips 33, 34 and nevertheless no light rays emerge unhindered and can thus produce disruptive effects.
  • the device according to the invention enables the exchange of the information carriers, or their parts 2, 3 on the prisms 1 in the simplest way, without the need for additional aids such as adhesives and the like. Nevertheless, a perfect mounting of the information carrier parts and their optimal illumination is guaranteed. At the same time, it is avoided that disturbing light effects occur outside the edge regions 11, 12 of the information carrier parts 2, 3 in the longitudinal edge regions 8, 9 and 10 of the prisms 1, these measures also being simple and inexpensive to carry out.
