Description

Cette invention concerne les appareils ou les systémes pour retenir des matériaux ou des affiches , rapidement et sans aucun moyen auxiliaire ,permettant d'y soutenir toute sorte d'objets ou de documents , sans ou avec des informations .This invention relates to apparatuses or systems for retaining materials or posters, quickly and without any means auxiliary, allowing to support any kind of objects or documents, with or without information.

Depuis plus ou moins 1933 on poursuit , soit en Europe soit en Amérique , une issue avec du succès , pour le blocage des feuilles de papier ou des plaques , n'importe quel matériel , ou des choses semblables.Since more or less 1933 we continue, either in Europe or in America, a successful outcome, for blocking the leaves of paper or plates, any material, or things alike.

Mais ,soit le brevet Allemand de 1933 n°164145 , soit l'Anglais de 1963 n°939400 , ou le Belge de 1965 n°658961 , le Français de 1976 n°2372480 , et l'Américain de 1987 n°4696595 , n'ont jamais réussi un résultat cent pour cent efficace .But, either the German patent of 1933 n ° 164145, or the English of 1963 n ° 939400, or the Belgian of 1965 n ° 658961, the French of 1976 No. 2372480, and the 1987 American No. 4696595, never successfully one hundred percent effective result.

Tous appuyaient leurs systèmes dans la compression , des feuilles ou des matériaux à suspendre ,d'un cylindre contre une paroi .All supported their systems in compression, sheets or materials to hang, from a cylinder against a wall.

Peut-être à cause de cela les brevets qui ont suivis, l'Américain de 1978 n°4085848 les Français de 1978 n°2433212 et de 1982 n°2532250 , l'Anglais de 1988 n°2202575 , et l'Allemand de 1992 n°508460A1 ont résolu d'utiliser des billes ou des sphères contre la paroi au lieu des cylindres D'autres brevets , comme l'Anglais n°2016071 et les Américains n°4674905 et n°4714366 présentent des systèmes dans le même but mais utilisent des solutions assez complexes .Perhaps because of this the patents that followed, the American's 1978 n ° 4085848 the French of 1978 n ° 2433212 and of 1982 n ° 2532250, the 1988 English n ° 2202575, and the 1992 German n ° 508460A1 resolved to use balls or spheres against the wall instead cylinders Other patents, such as English No. 2016071 and Americans No. 4674905 and No. 4714366 present systems in the same but use rather complex solutions.

Du même type sont les solutions prévues par les brevets US-A-3168954 (D1) et WO-A-9316289 (D2) , dont l'analyse de leurs documents démontre que l'état correspondant de l'art antérieur ,c'est-à dire la résolution d'un des besoins de chaque jour de l'Homme -l'affichage de documents ou la suspension de matériaux qui se destinent à être vus - n'a abouti ,ni à un maniement , ni à un degré d'efficacité conduisant à un simple , souple et sain usage.Donc , les gens ne dispensent pas l'utilisation des panneaux et des placards et leurs clous et épingles. Le problème n'était pas aux cylindres ou aux billes/sphères , mais à la paroi .Of the same type are the solutions provided by patents US-A-3168954 (D1) and WO-A-9316289 (D2), whose analysis of their documents demonstrates that the corresponding state of the prior art, i.e. the resolution of one of the needs of every day of Man -the display of documents or the suspension of materials that are intended to be seen - has not resulted in either handling or a degree of efficiency leading to simple, flexible and healthy to use, so people don’t dispense the use of panels and cupboards and their nails and pins. The problem was not with cylinders or balls / spheres, but with Wall .

Le dispositif de l'invention est destiné à la suspension de feuilles de quelconque matériau ou des plaques et qui dispense l'utilisation de quels que soient les types de clous et d'éplingles , et aussi du support pour l'affichage d'avis , de renseignements ou de quelconque autre type de matériaux , imprimés ou non , et qui se destinent à être vues .The device of the invention is intended for hanging sheets of any material or plates and which dispenses with the use of whatever the types of nails and pins, and also the support for the display of opinions, information or any other type of material, printed or not, which is intended to be views.

Ce dispositif se destine à être utilisé dans des bureaux , des écoles des departements publics , des ateliers , des moyens de transport et dans d'autres lieux où on veut suspendre,sans aucun moyen auxiliaire , avec seulement une main ,et instantanement , des matériaux blancs ,sans ou avec des informations.This device is intended to be used in offices, schools public departments, workshops, means of transport and in other places where we want to suspend, without any auxiliary means, with only one hand, and instantly, white materials , without or with information.

Ce systhème de suspension , au dela de ne pas avoir besoin de clous ou de quelconque autre type d'épingles , est plus rapide parce qu'il n' utilise pas ces moyens auxiliaires , ce qui facilite le détachement des informations ,renseignements ,affiches publicitaires matériaux en exposition ,et d'autres similaires , car le déplacement des matériaux et avis sera ainsi plus facile ;il devient aussi plus économique du à l'intégration pour le produit final d'un moindre nombre de composants , et il s'intègre mieux dans un type quelconque de décoration dû à son installation lineaire.This hanging system, beyond not needing nails or any other type of pins, is faster because it doesn’t not use these auxiliary means, which facilitates detachment information, inquiries, advertising posters materials on display, and others like it, because the displacement of materials and notices will thus be easier; it also becomes more economic due to integration for the final product of a lower number of components, and it fits better into any type decoration due to its linear installation.

Ce dispositif est composé par une barre telle que définie par la revendication 1.This device is made up of a bar as defined by the claim 1.

Cette barre permet la suspension de divers matériaux , individuellement ou non ,soient-ils des feuilles de papier , des plaques ou d'autres , de texture et de rigidité variables , mais avec l'épaisseur máximum égale à la distance entre les lèvres moins un millimètre . La suspension et/ou le déplacement de ces matériaux peut être faite côte à côte , ou en superposition , puisque l'individualité des paires de cylindres rend possible qu'ils soient activés seulement au lieu où est introduit et/ou extrait le matériel en usage dans un moment déterminé, en demeurant les restantes paires immobiles. This bar allows the suspension of various materials, individually or not, be they sheets of paper, plates or others, of varying texture and stiffness, but with the maximum thickness equal to the distance between the lips minus one millimeter. The suspension and / or movement of these materials may be done side by side, or layered, since individuality pairs of cylinders makes it possible that they are activated only at the place where the material in use in a facility is introduced and / or extracted determined moment, remaining the remaining pairs motionless.

L'épaisseur de la lame employée dans la construction de cette barre peut être variable , pourvu qu'on assure les proportions intérieures prévues par les formules décrites , et il en est de même avec sa longueur.The thickness of the blade used in the construction of this bar can be variable, provided that the internal proportions are ensured provided by the formulas described, and it is the same with its length.

La barre peut avoir ses bouts fermés par des dispositifs ou des objets dont la fonction sera celle d'empêcher le glissement des cylindres (2,3) au-dehors d'elle ,sa fixation pouvant être faite dans une quelconque surface , et , soit latéralement , soit par le dessus , par collage , par des bandes autocollantes sur les deux faces , par des trous , des clous ou de la suspension.The bar may have its ends closed by devices or objects whose function will be to prevent slipping of the cylinders (2,3) outside of it, it can be fixed in a any surface, and either laterally or from above by bonding, by adhesive strips on both sides, by holes, nails or suspension.

Pour compléter la description qui est en train d'être faite , et pour aider à une meilleure compréhension des caractéristiques de cette barre longitudinale prismatique , on joint à cette description , et faisant partie intégrale d'elle , les dessins dont les figures représentent:

  • Figure 1 , une coupe transversale de la barre avec la forme d'un profil trapézoidal (1),en soulignant la position des paires de cylindres (2,3) qui se disposent, par gravité de parte et d'autre de l'axe de symetrie du profil trapézoidal du prisme ,mais en position asymétrique.
  • Figure 2 ,une vue en perpective , où on peut voir que la suspension du matériel (4) ou feuille de papier ,est opérée par l'effet de pincement sur ce matériel par la paire de cylindres (2,3) qui est coincée , par gravité , entre les deux parois inclinés du profil trapézoidal.
    • To complete the description that is being made, and to help a better understanding of the characteristics of this prismatic longitudinal bar, we attach to this description, and forming an integral part of it, the drawings whose figures represent:
  • Figure 1, a cross section of the bar with the shape of a trapezoidal profile (1), highlighting the position of the pairs of cylinders (2,3) which are arranged, by gravity of part and other of the axis symmetry of the trapezoidal profile of the prism, but in an asymmetrical position.
  • FIG. 2, a perspective view, where it can be seen that the suspension of the material (4) or sheet of paper, is effected by the pinching effect on this material by the pair of cylinders (2,3) which is jammed, by gravity, between the two inclined walls of the trapezoidal profile.

    • C'est pourquoi cette invention est inédite :elle présente comme méthode de suspension le pincement du matériel (4) fait par la/les paire/paires de cylindres , et non d'un cylindre ou d'une sphère contre une paroi.This is why this invention is unprecedented: it presents as suspension method the pinching of the material (4) made by the pair / pairs of cylinders, not of a cylinder or sphere against a wall.

    La barre avec ce profil trapézoidal (1) ayant un axe de symétrie vertical , peut être construite par différents méthodes ,comme par exemple le pliage ; celui sera préféré car il y a dèjà des machines qui , une fois réglées , peuvent plier la lame métallique , aussi bien qu'elles le font déjà pour produire les barres en U pour les rideaux .The bar with this trapezoidal profile (1) having an axis of symmetry vertical, can be built by different methods, like by example folding; that will be preferred because there are already machines which, once set, can bend the metal blade, as well that they are already doing it to produce the U-shaped bars for the curtains.

    La regularité du fonctionnement d'une de ces machines est réussie a travers l'inclinaison des cylindres qui la composent, et ce sont eux qui compriment les parois de l'U renversé jusqu'au moment où ces parois demeureront avec la forme trapézoidale et avec une ouverture qui est partiellement fermée par des lèvres ,mais en laissant l'espace entre ces lèvres avec les dimensions souhaitées.The regularity of the operation of one of these machines is successful through the inclination of the cylinders that make it up, and it’s them which compress the walls of the overturned U until the moment when these walls will remain with the trapezoidal shape and with an opening which is partially closed by lips, but leaving space between these lips with the desired dimensions.

    Les matériaux composants à appliquer dans la réalisation de cette barre longitudinale prismatique pourront être : du nylon ou quelque autre matériel avec la même densité pour les cylindres ;du métal , du plastique ,du bois ou des matériaux mixtes pour la barre et pour les bouts.The component materials to be applied in the realization of this longitudinal prismatic bar may be: nylon or some other material with the same density for the cylinders; metal, plastic, wood or mixed materials for the bar and for tips.

    D'après cette description on peut conclure que cette barre présente un nouvel assemblage et un arrangement différent d'éléments connus et qui sont d'usage , voilà pourquoi un dispositif conçu de la façon décrite dans ce brevet augmente et perfectionne les conditions d'avantage et d'utilité par rapport à d'autres qui existent déjà , non seulement par la facilité de maniememt introduite et par son degré d'efficacité , mais encore par les bas prix de ses composants.On obtiendra comme ça, soit une réalité d'utilisation nouvelle ,car cette barre est de grande précision , soit un résultat industriel nouveau.From this description we can conclude that this bar has a new assembly and a different arrangement of known elements which are in use, that's why a device designed as described in this patent increases and perfects the conditions of advantage and useful compared to others that already exist, not only by the ease of handling introduced and by its degree of efficiency, but still by the low prices of its components. We will get like that, be a reality of new use, because this bar is large precision, a new industrial result.

    Claims (5)

    1. A rail designed for the suspension of sheets or posters of all kinds of material up to two millimetres thick. The rail has a trapezoidal profile with a longitudinal opening in the narrower bottom part which faces downwards when the rail is in its functioning position. Inside the rail housing are two cylinders of a diameter greater than the transversal dimension of the raid opening. The sheets of publicity or sign material(4) are inserted through the opening and are held between the two cylinders in a pincer effect. The specific features of the rail are:
      a) -The trapezoidal shape of the rail is obtained through a U-shaped section turned upside down, the opening of which is partially closed with lips. The said U shape serves to create the inverted trapezoidal form(1) with an axis of vertical symmetry. The deformation is such that the distance between the lips is two millimetres.
      b) - The cylinders(2, 3) are of such a diameter that they are positioned, due to the force of gravity,on the two sides of the aforementioned axis of symmetry, but in an asymmetric position.
      c)-The sheets (4) of material or placards are suspended by means of the pressure applied by the two cylinders(2, 3), which press against each other due to the effect of gravity and slide between the two slanting side walls of the trapezoidal rail.
    2. A longitudinal prismatic bar according to specification 1, characterised by the fact that it allows for the suspension of a wide range of materials, individually or otherwise, be these sheets of paper, placards or other materials of varying texture or rigidity. The maximum thickness of the material may be equal to the distance between the lips minus one millimetre. The suspension and/or removal of the material can be done side by side or may overlap, as the individuality of the pairs of cylinders makes it possible that they are activated only in the place the material in use at a particular time is inserted and/or taken out, with the remaining pairs remaining motionless.
    3. A longitudinal prismatic bar according to the preceding specifications characterized by the fact that the thickness of the metal sheet used for its construction is variable, provided that one respects the internal proportions dictated by the described formulas; the same is true of the length dimension.
    4. A longitudinal prismatic bar according to the preceding specifications, characterized by the fact that the ends can he closed by means of devices or objects, the function of which is to prevent the cylinders (2, 3) from sliding out of the bar. The bar can be affixed to all types of surfaces, both at the top and at the sides, using glue, sticky tape, nails or by means of drilling or suspension.
    5. A longitudinal prismatic bar according to the preceding specifications characterized by the fact that the materials used for the cylinders can be nylon or any other material of the same density, and those for the bar itself and ends can be metal, plastic, wood or a mixture of materials.
