Description

« DISPOSITIF DE FIXATION D'ETIQUETTE ELECTRONIQUE, NOTAMMENT D'AFFICHAGE DE PRIX, SUR UNE EXTREMITE DE BROCHE"DEVICE FOR FIXING ELECTRONIC LABELS, PARTICULARLY PRICE DISPLAYS, ON A SPINDLE END
DE SUPPORT D'ARTICLES »OF ARTICLE SUPPORT »
La présente invention concerne d'une façon générale les supports d'étiquettes d'affichage, notamment d'affichage de prix et analogues dans les magasins de vente au détail, et concerne en particulier un nouveau support d'étiquette électronique d'affichage de prix.The present invention relates generally to display label carriers, in particular price display and the like in retail stores, and relates in particular to a new electronic price display label carrier .
II est connu aujourd'hui de remplacer, dans un magasin de vente au détail tel qu'un supermarché, les étiquettes d'affichage de prix en papier, carton ou matière plastique, par des dispositifs d'affichage électronique à cristaux liquides, commandés à distance par câbles ou par liaison sans fil.It is known today to replace, in a retail store such as a supermarket, the price display labels made of paper, cardboard or plastic material, by electronic liquid crystal display devices, ordered from distance by cables or by wireless link.
Ces dispositifs ont l'avantage considérable de permettre de modifier les prix à distance, d'une manière extrêmement simple et pratiquement instantanée, et d'assurer en outre, comme l'exige la réglementation, que le prix affiché en rayon et le prix contenu dans la table de prix utilisée par les caisses enregistreuses soient rigoureusement identiques pour chaque produit du lieu de vente . Ces dispositifs représentent toutefois un investissement extrêmement important pour les magasins, et il est nécessaire de prendre des dispositions pour assurer que la clientèle, soit volontairement, soit accidentellement, ne puisse facilement séparer l'étiquette électronique de la structure (en particulier tablette de rayonnage) sur laquelle elle est montée.These devices have the considerable advantage of making it possible to modify prices remotely, in an extremely simple and practically instantaneous manner, and to further ensure, as required by the regulations, that the price displayed on the shelf and the price contained in the price table used by cash registers are strictly identical for each product at the point of sale. These devices represent, however, an extremely important investment for the stores, and it is necessary to take measures to ensure that the customers, either voluntarily or accidentally, cannot easily separate the electronic label from the structure (in particular shelving shelf) on which it is mounted.
Ainsi on connaît par le document FR-A-2 706 665 au nom de la Demanderesse un dispositif de support d'étiquette électronique permettant de monter une telle étiquette de façon pratiquement inviolable sur un rebord de tablette. Ce support résiste à des efforts d'arrachement conséquents, et nécessite un outil très particulier pour permettre, par le personnel du magasin, de démonter l'étiquette électronique notamment en vue de son déplacement ou de son remplacement.Thus, document FR-A-2 706 665 in the name of the Applicant discloses an electronic label support device making it possible to mount such a label in a practically inviolable manner on a shelf edge. This support resists significant tearing efforts, and requires a very particular to allow, by the staff of the store, to dismantle the electronic label in particular with a view to its displacement or its replacement.
Si il donne satisfaction, un tel support est en revanche adapté uniquement aux rebords de tablettes- Or il existe dans les magasins de vente au détail de très nombreux produits qui sont accrochés par leur emballage sur des broches métalliques montées en saillie sensiblement horizontalement à partir du fond du rayonnage.If it is satisfactory, such a support is however only suitable for the edges of shelves. However, there are very many products in retail stores which are hung by their packaging on metal pins mounted projecting substantially horizontally from the bottom of the shelving.
On connaît également des supports d' étiquettes papier ou plastique pour l'affichage du prix sur l'extrémité libre d'une telle broche, ou encore sur l'extrémité libre d'une deuxième broche située immédiatement au-dessus de la broche d'accrochage des produits exposés à la vente.Also known are paper or plastic label carriers for displaying the price on the free end of such a pin, or on the free end of a second pin located immediately above the pin. hanging of products displayed for sale.
Toutefois ces supports d'étiquette ne confèrent aucune sécurité de fixation vis à vis des arrachements, et sont totalement inadaptés à la fixation d'étiquettes électroniques.However, these label supports do not provide any security of attachment with respect to tearing, and are totally unsuitable for the attachment of electronic labels.
La présente invention a donc pour objet de remédier à cette lacune, et de proposer un dispositif de fixation sur extrémité de broche qui permette le montage, de façon essentiellement inviolable, d'une étiquette électronique. Un autre objet de la présente invention est de proposer un tel dispositif de fixation, qui ne puisse être démonté de l'extrémité de la broche qu'à l'aide d'un outil spécial.The present invention therefore aims to remedy this shortcoming, and to provide a fixing device on the end of the spindle which allows the mounting, in an essentially tamper-proof manner, of an electronic label. Another object of the present invention is to provide such a fixing device, which can only be dismantled from the end of the spindle using a special tool.
Un autre objet encore de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de fixation qui convienne pour le montage sur des extrémités de broches présentant différentes conformations. Enfin un objet de l'invention est de proposer un tel dispositif de fixation, qui autorise, lors du montage mais aussi bien après montage, un réglage de l'orientation de l'étiquette électronique pour lui donner la meilleure lisibilité possible en tenant compte en particulier de la hauteur à laquelle se trouve la broche par rapport au sol.Yet another object of the invention is to provide a fixing device which is suitable for mounting on ends of pins having different conformations. Finally, an object of the invention is to provide such a fixing device, which allows, during assembly but also after assembly, an adjustment of the orientation of the electronic label to give it the best possible readability, taking into account particular of the height at which the spindle is above the ground.
A cet effet, la présente invention propose un dispositif de fixation d'une étiquette électronique, notamment pour l'affichage de prix sur lieu de vente, à l'extrémité d'une broche de support d'articles, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un boîtier en deux parties aptes à être assemblées l'une à l'autre de façon essentiellement inviolable, l'une des parties possédant au moins une ouverture pour le passage d'une partie terminale d'une broche et au moins un logement intérieur apte à recevoir une partie transversale de l'extrémité de la broche et à être obturé par une paroi de l'autre partie, tandis que ladite autre partie possède des aménagements pour la fixation essentiellement inviolable d'une étiquette électronique.To this end, the present invention provides a device for fixing an electronic label, in particular for displaying prices at the point of sale, at the end of an article support pin, characterized in that it comprises a housing in two parts capable of being assembled to each other in an essentially tamper-resistant manner, one of the parts having at least one opening for the passage of a terminal part of a spindle and at least one interior housing able to receive a transverse part of the end of the spindle and to be closed by a wall of the other part, while said other part has arrangements for the essentially tamper-proof attachment of an electronic label.

En référence tout d'abord aux figures 1 à 4, on a représenté un dispositif de support S d'étiquettes électroniques qui présente la forme générale d'un boîtier possédant deux parties 10, 20 généralement rectangulaires et articulées l'une à l'autre le long de l'un de leurs grands bords .Referring firstly to Figures 1 to 4, there is shown a support device S of electronic tags which has the general shape of a housing having two parts 10, 20 generally rectangular and hinged to each other along one of their large edges.
La partie 10 possède un panneau principal séparé en trois zones, à savoir une zone médiane 12 et deux zones latérales 11, 13. Les zones latérales possèdent au niveau du grand bord opposé à l'articulation un rebord rentrant, respectivement 14 et 15, tandis que la zone médiane 12 est délimitée par un bord généralement semi-circulaire 121 à une hauteur intermédiaire, pour définir une encoche s' étendant entre les zones 11 et 13.Part 10 has a main panel separated into three zones, namely a central zone 12 and two lateral zones 11, 13. The lateral zones have, at the level of the large edge opposite the articulation, a tuck-in rim, respectively 14 and 15, while that the middle zone 12 is delimited by a generally semi-circular edge 121 at an intermediate height, to define a notch extending between the zones 11 and 13.
Les zones 11 et 13 possèdent par ailleurs, dans leur région extérieure et proche du rebord associé 14, 15, une ouverture légèrement oblongue, respectivement 116, 136, tandis qu'immédiatement à l'intérieur de ces ouvertures 116, 136 se trouvent deux logements en forme de gorges, respectivement 115 et 135, de largeurs prédéterminées, qui sont délimitées par des nervures parallèles respectivement 113, 114 et 133, 134. Ces gorges s'étendent entre les ouvertures oblongues et des murets, respectivement 111 et 131, qui s'étendent transversalement et qui séparent la zone médiane 12 des zones latérales 11 et 13, respectivement.Zones 11 and 13 also have, in their outer region and close to the associated rim 14, 15, a slightly oblong opening, respectively 116, 136, while immediately inside these openings 116, 136 are two housings in the form of grooves, respectively 115 and 135, of predetermined widths, which are delimited by parallel ribs respectively 113, 114 and 133, 134. These grooves extend between the oblong openings and walls, respectively 111 and 131, which s extend transversely and which separate the central zone 12 from the lateral zones 11 and 13, respectively.
Du côté extérieur du panneau principal 11, 12, 13, de part et d'autre de l'encoche définie au niveau de la zone médiane 12, sont prévues deux cheminées parallèles 119, 139 définies chacune par deux parois saillantes, respectivement 117, 118 et 137, 138, présentant des sections en « L » en vis-à-vis, dont les extrémités libres définissent entre elles des fentes sensiblement plus étroites que la largeur des cheminées. Les parois 118, 138 situées du côté extérieur portent le long desdites fentes des créneaux carrés régulièrement espacés, respectivement 1181 et 1381, à des fins expliquées plus loin.On the outside of the main panel 11, 12, 13, on either side of the notch defined at the middle zone 12, two parallel chimneys 119, 139 are provided, each defined by two projecting walls, respectively 117, 118 and 137, 138, having facing “L” sections, the free ends of which define slots between them substantially narrower than the width of the chimneys. The walls 118, 138 located on the outer side have regularly square slots along said slots spaced apart, 1181 and 1381, respectively, for purposes explained below.
Les cheminées 119, 139 s'étendent sensiblement sur toute la profondeur de la partie 10. Enfin, pour l'articulation de la partie 10 avec la partie 20, la partie 10 possède, aux extrémités du bord du panneau principal opposé aux rebords 14 et 15, deux pattes 101, 103 saillantes vers l'intérieur et pourvues chacune d'un trou circulaire formant palier. La partie 20 possède une forme généralement rectangulaire sensiblement de mêmes dimensions que la partie 10, avec un panneau principal 21 entouré deux rebords latéraux 22, 23 et d'un rebord longitudinal 24 du côté opposé à la liaison articulée avec la partie 10. Dans le panneau 21 est formée une ouverture traversante centrale 211 s' étendant sur une partie substantielle de sa profondeur et prolongée d'un côté, en l'occurrence vers le bord latéral 22, par deux fentes étroites parallèles 213, 214 qui délimitent entre elles une patte flexible 212 pourvue à son extrémité libre, adjacente à l'ouverture 211, d'une dent de verrouillage d'étiquette 2121 faisant saillie vers l'extérieur (voir figure 3) .The chimneys 119, 139 extend substantially over the entire depth of the part 10. Finally, for the articulation of the part 10 with the part 20, the part 10 has, at the ends of the edge of the main panel opposite the flanges 14 and 15, two legs 101, 103 projecting inwardly and each provided with a circular hole forming a bearing. Part 20 has a generally rectangular shape substantially of the same dimensions as part 10, with a main panel 21 surrounded by two lateral flanges 22, 23 and a longitudinal flange 24 on the side opposite to the articulated connection with part 10. In the panel 21 is formed a central through opening 211 extending over a substantial part of its depth and extended on one side, in this case towards the lateral edge 22, by two parallel narrow slots 213, 214 which delimit a tab between them flexible 212 provided at its free end, adjacent to the opening 211, with a label locking tooth 2121 projecting outwards (see FIG. 3).
Cette dent est, en position fermée des parties 10 et 20, assujettie à un poussoir 1110 en saillie en direction de son extrémité libre à partir de la partie de panneau 11 de la partie de boîtier 10, de manière à éviter le déverrouillage intempestif de l'étiquette électronique. La partie 20 possède en outre, dans chacun des rebords latéraux 22, 23, environ à un tiers de la longueur de ces rebords en partant du rebord 24, une encoche à fond semi-circulaire, respectivement 221, 231, s' étendant sur toute la hauteur de ces rebords.This tooth is, in the closed position of the parts 10 and 20, subject to a pusher 1110 projecting in the direction of its free end from the panel part 11 of the housing part 10, so as to avoid inadvertent unlocking of the 'electronic tag. The part 20 also has, in each of the side edges 22, 23, approximately one third of the length of these edges starting from the edge 24, a notch with semi-circular bottom, respectively 221, 231, extending over the entire height of these edges.
Sur la face externe du rebord longitudinal 24 sont par ailleurs prévues deux dents 241, 242 de verrouillage du dispositif en position fermée, aptes à coopérer avec des renfoncements (non visibles) formées dans la face intérieure des rebords 14, 15 de la partie 10.On the external face of the longitudinal edge 24 are also provided two teeth 241, 242 for locking the device in the closed position, capable of cooperating with recesses (not visible) formed in the internal face of the edges 14, 15 of part 10.
Au milieu du rebord 24 est par ailleurs prévue, au niveau de son bord libre, une légère concavité 243. Pour son articulation avec la partie 10, la partie 20 possède à l'extrémité intérieure des bords latéraux 22, 23 deux doigts, respectivement 222, 232, formant des axes de pivotement engagés dans les trous formés dans les pattes 101, 103 de la partie. Du côté extérieur de la partie 20 (voir figure 3) , le rebord 24 se prolonge au delà du plan du panneau principal 21 et définit avec un rebord 25 situé à l'opposé, au niveau de l'articulation, un logement pour une étiquette électronique d'affichage de prix (non représentée) de forme généralement parallélépipédique, par exemple du type commercialisé dans la gamme « E.E.G. » par la Demanderesse.In the middle of the rim 24 is also provided, at its free edge, a slight concavity 243. For its articulation with the part 10, the part 20 has at the inner end of the side edges 22, 23 two fingers, respectively 222 , 232, forming pivot axes engaged in the holes formed in the tabs 101, 103 of the part. On the external side of the part 20 (see FIG. 3), the flange 24 extends beyond the plane of the main panel 21 and defines with a flange 25 situated opposite, at the level of the articulation, a housing for a label. electronic price display (not shown) of generally parallelepiped shape, for example of the type sold in the "EEG" range By the Applicant.
La fixation essentiellement inviolable d'une telle étiquette est assurée principalement à l'aide de nervures formées sur les faces internes des rebords 24, 25 (les nervures de la paroi 25 étant désignées par 251, 252, 253 et des nervures identiques, non visibles, étant formées sur la paroi 24), et de la patte flexible 212 dont la dent terminale 2121 est destinée à s'engager dans une encoche formée dans le boîtier de l'étiquette électroniσue . Pour plus de détails quant ce type de fixation, on se référera à FR-A-2 706 665 au nom de la Demanderesse.The essentially inviolable fixing of such a label is ensured mainly by means of ribs formed on the internal faces of the flanges 24, 25 (the ribs of the wall 25 being designated by 251, 252, 253 and identical ribs, not visible , being formed on the wall 24), and the flexible tab 212 whose end tooth 2121 is intended to engage in a notch formed in the housing of the electronic label. For more details on this type of attachment, reference will be made to FR-A-2 706 665 in the name of the Applicant.
En référence maintenant principalement aux figures 2 et 4, le dispositif comprend en outre une barrette de réglage, désignée par la référence 30, qui est apte à coopérer avec la partie 10 du dispositif.Referring now mainly to Figures 2 and 4, the device further comprises an adjustment bar, designated by the reference 30, which is able to cooperate with the part 10 of the device.
Cette barrette 30 possède une partie centrale formée de trois tronçons 31, 32, 33 et deux parties latérales 36 et 37, chacune de ces parties présentant une section transversale en forme de forme circulaire tronquée par un plan.This bar 30 has a central part formed by three sections 31, 32, 33 and two lateral parts 36 and 37, each of these parts having a cross section in the form of a circular shape truncated by a plane.
Le tronçon central 31 de la partie centrale possède un prolongement 311 qui est destiné à s'étendre dans l'espace s' étendant entre les deux cheminées 119, 139 de la partie 10.The central section 31 of the central part has an extension 311 which is intended to extend in the space extending between the two chimneys 119, 139 of the part 10.
Les tronçons 32 et 33 s'étendent au droit des faces postérieures fendues desdites cheminées, et possèdent chacune une patte, respectivement 321, 331, qui est apte à s'engager dans la fente associée et à coopérer avec les créneaux bordant cette fente, respectivement 1181, 1381, pour permettre d'ajuster la hauteur de la barrette par rapport à la partie 10.The sections 32 and 33 extend in line with the rear split sides of said chimneys, and each have a tab, respectively 321, 331, which is capable of engaging in the associated slot and of cooperating with the slots bordering this slot, respectively. 1181, 1381, to allow the height of the bar to be adjusted relative to part 10.
Les parties latérales 36 et 37 sont reliées à la partie centrale par des parties de liaison rentrantes 34, 35, respectivement, de manière à ce que ces parties latérales s'étendent contre les zones 11 et 13.The lateral parts 36 and 37 are connected to the central part by re-entrant connecting parts 34, 35, respectively, so that these lateral parts extend against the zones 11 and 13.
Le dispositif décrit ci-dessus est apte à coopérer avec différents types de broches utilisés dans les lieux de vente pour présenter des produits à la vente. La figure 5 illustre un premier type de broche 40The device described above is able to cooperate with different types of pins used in sales outlets to present products for sale. FIG. 5 illustrates a first type of pin 40
(broche dite coudée), réalisée par pliage d'une tige métallique et dont la région d'extrémité possède un tronçon oblique intermédiaire 41 suivi d'un tronçon terminal 42 qui s'étend perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale de la broche. La longueur et l'orientation du tronçon oblique sont telles que l'axe longitudinal de la broche croise le tronçon terminal sensiblement en son milieu.(so-called angled pin), produced by bending a metal rod and whose end region has a intermediate oblique section 41 followed by a terminal section 42 which extends perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the spindle. The length and orientation of the oblique section are such that the longitudinal axis of the spindle crosses the terminal section substantially in the middle.
La figure 6 illustre un autre type de broche 40 (broche dite en « T ») , qui présente simplement un traverse 43, de section transversale plus petite, soudée au niveau de son extrémité libre et centrée sur la broche .FIG. 6 illustrates another type of spindle 40 (so-called “T” spindle), which simply has a cross member 43, of smaller cross section, welded at its free end and centered on the spindle.
On va maintenant décrire en référence aux figures 7 et 8 le montage essentiellement inviolable et le réglage d'un dispositif de support S selon l'invention sur l'extrémité d'une broche telle que représentée sur la figure 5.We will now describe with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 the essentially tamper-proof assembly and the adjustment of a support device S according to the invention on the end of a spindle as shown in FIG. 5.
Comme le montre la figure 7, le boîtier défini par les parties 10 et 20 étant en position ouverte, la broche est enfilée à travers l'ouverture 136 de la partie 10, et orientée de telle sorte que sa partie terminale 42 soit reçue dans les gorges 115 et 135, qui sont légèrement surdimensionnées par rapport au diamètre (standard) de la broche .As shown in Figure 7, the housing defined by the parts 10 and 20 being in the open position, the spindle is threaded through the opening 136 of the part 10, and oriented so that its end part 42 is received in the grooves 115 and 135, which are slightly oversized compared to the (standard) diameter of the spindle.
On observe que l'extrémité libre de la partie terminale 42 de la broche déborde latéralement par rapport au contour du dispositif.It is observed that the free end of the terminal part 42 of the spindle projects laterally relative to the contour of the device.
Le boîtier est alors fermé en rapprochant par pivotement les parties 10 et 20, et le verrouillage dans cette position fermée est réalisé par légère pression, en faisant intervenir les dents de verrouillage 241, 242 et les renfoncements correspondants. Au cours de cette fermeture, la région d'extrémité libre de la partie terminale 42 de la broche est reçue dans l'encoche 221 de la partie 20.The housing is then closed by pivoting the parts 10 and 20, and the locking in this closed position is carried out by light pressure, using the locking teeth 241, 242 and the corresponding recesses. During this closing, the free end region of the terminal part 42 of the spindle is received in the notch 221 of the part 20.
Dans cette situation, on comprend que la hauteur relative de la partie terminale 42 de la broche par rapport au dispositif est fixée à l'aide des gorges 115, 135, sans toutefois interdire en principe une rotation relative des deux éléments autour de l'axe de ladite partie terminale 42, et la barrette de réglage est alors mise en œuvre pour ajuster l'orientation relative du dispositif S par rapport à l'axe de la broche. Plus précisément, en modifiant la hauteur de la barrette 30 par rapport au boîtier 10, 20, on peut jouer sur la hauteur de la partie intermédiaire 41 de la broche, qui s'appuie sur la partie 37 de ladite barrette immédiatement à sa sortie de l'ouverture 136, on ajuste la position angulaire, obtenue par simple effet de gravité, du boîtier 10, 20 par rapport à l'axe de la broche . On observera ici que l'ajustement de la hauteur de la barrette 30 par rapport à la partie de boîtier 10 peut s'effectuer très simplement et à tout moment sur autant de positions discrètes que d' intervalles entre les créneaux 1181, 1381, le maintien de la barrette à la hauteur voulue s' effectuant par engagement élastique des pattes 321, 331 dans les intervalles entre les créneaux, à la manière d'une crémaillère, et le déplacement de la barrette s' effectuant en forçant manuellement son mouvement, en exerçant par exemple une poussée sur la barrette 30 pour que ses pattes puissent se dégager des créneaux 1181 et 1381 et passer d'un intervalle à l'autre. Ainsi aucun démontage, même partiel, du dispositif n'est nécessaire, et il n'est pas non plus nécessaire d'ajouter au dispositif des pièces de calage spéciales .In this situation, it is understood that the relative height of the terminal portion 42 of the spindle relative to the device is fixed using the grooves 115, 135, without however in principle prohibiting relative rotation of the two elements around the axis of said end portion 42, and the adjustment bar is then used to adjust the relative orientation of the device S relative to the axis of the spindle. More precisely, by modifying the height of the bar 30 relative to the housing 10, 20, one can play on the height of the intermediate part 41 of the spindle, which rests on the part 37 of said bar immediately after it leaves opening 136, the angular position, obtained by simple gravity effect, of the housing 10, 20 is adjusted relative to the axis of the spindle. It will be observed here that the adjustment of the height of the bar 30 relative to the housing part 10 can be carried out very simply and at any time in as many discrete positions as in intervals between the slots 1181, 1381, maintaining of the bar at the desired height being effected by elastic engagement of the legs 321, 331 in the intervals between the slots, in the manner of a rack, and the displacement of the bar being effected by manually forcing its movement, by exerting for example a push on the bar 30 so that its legs can disengage from the slots 1181 and 1381 and pass from one interval to another. No disassembly, even partial, of the device is not required, nor is it necessary to add special wedging parts to the device.
L'inclinaison du dispositif, et donc de l'étiquette électronique qu'il est destiné à porter, est avantageusement ajustée en fonction de la hauteur à laquelle se trouve la broche 40 dans un rayonnage, en particulier pour que l'étiquette offre sa face avant bien visible en vue contre-plongeante lorsqu' elle est placée en hauteur, et bien visible en vue plongeante lorsqu'elle est placée à proximité du sol.The inclination of the device, and therefore of the electronic label that it is intended to carry, is advantageously adjusted as a function of the height at which the pin 40 is located in a shelving unit, in particular so that the label offers its face front clearly visible in counter-diving view when it is placed in height, and clearly visible in diving view when it is placed close to the ground.
En particulier, il suffit pour régler l'inclinaison d'exercer une pression sur la barrette 30 vers le haut ou vers le bas. L'inviolabilité de la fixation de l'étiquette sur son support étant assurée de façon classique par les moyens décrits plus haut, portés par la partie 20 (un démontage étant toutefois possible à l'aide d'un outil spécial), l'inviolabilité du support S sur la broche 40 est quant à elle assurée par la fermeture des parties 10, 20, qui ne peuvent être ouvertes qu'à l'aide d'un outil spécial, alors que dans cette position fermée, la région d'extrémité de la broche est, comme on le comprend bien à la lumière des dessins, emprisonnée dans le dispositif en particulier grâce aux gorges 115, 135 qui sont obturées par le panneau principal 21 de la partie opposée 20 lors de la fermeture.In particular, it suffices to adjust the inclination to exert a pressure on the bar 30 upwards or downwards. The inviolability of the attachment of the label to its support being ensured in a conventional manner by the means described above, carried by the part 20 (disassembly being however possible using a special tool), the inviolability of the support S on the spindle 40 is itself ensured by the closing of the parts 10, 20, which can only be opened using a special tool, while in this closed position, the end region of the spindle is, as can be understood in the light of the drawings, trapped in the device in particular thanks to the grooves 115, 135 which are closed by the main panel 21 of the opposite part 20 during closing.
On observera enfin ici à propos du montage sur broche coudée que la symétrie du dispositif tel que décrit permet son montage indifféremment sur des broches coudées à droite ou coudées à gauche, l'ouverture 116 ou 136 étant sélectivement utilisée pour introduire l'extrémité de la broche . Les figures 9 et 10 illustrent le montage d'un dispositif support selon l'invention à l'extrémité d'une broche en « T » telle qu'illustrée sur la figure 6.Finally, it will be observed here with regard to mounting on a bent pin that the symmetry of the device as described allows it to be mounted either on pins bent to the right or bent to the left, the opening 116 or 136 being selectively used to introduce the end of the brooch. FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate the mounting of a support device according to the invention at the end of a "T" pin as illustrated in FIG. 6.
Celle-ci est simplement positionnée de telle sorte que son corps central s'étende dans l'encoche surmontant la zone 12 du panneau principal de la partie 10, et que les deux branches latérales de sa traverse 43 se positionnent dans les gorges respectives 115 et 135.The latter is simply positioned so that its central body extends into the notch surmounting the zone 12 of the main panel of the part 10, and that the two lateral branches of its crosspiece 43 are positioned in the respective grooves 115 and 135.
Les parties de boîtier sont alors refermées et verrouillées, de la même manière que précédemment, et le réglage de l'inclinaison du dispositif par rapport à la broche s'effectue ici encore en modifiant la hauteur de la barrette de réglage 30, contre le prolongement 311 de laquelle s'appuie la broche alors que sa traverse est immobilisée (avec éventuellement un jeu non préjudiciable) dans les gorges 115, 135.The housing parts are then closed and locked, in the same manner as above, and the adjustment of the inclination of the device relative to the spindle is again performed here by modifying the height of the adjustment bar 30, against the extension 311 from which the spindle rests while its crosspiece is immobilized (with possibly a non-detrimental play) in the grooves 115, 135.
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est nullement limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus et représentée sur les dessins, mais l'homme du métier saura y apporter toute variante ou modification conforme à son esprit .Of course, the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, but a person skilled in the art will know how to make any variant or modification in accordance with his spirit.
En particulier, le dispositif décrit peut recevoir d'autres types de broches de présentation d'articles, et ceci soit tel quel, soit avec des adaptations complémentaires qui s'imposent.In particular, the device described can receive other types of pins for presenting articles, and this either as it is, or with additional adaptations which are necessary.
En outre, on peut prévoir de réaliser plusieurs types de dispositifs de support comportant tous la même partie de boîtier 20, destinée à recevoir l'étiquette, et comportant des parties de boîtier 10 différentes, et adaptées aux différents types de broches à recevoir. In addition, provision can be made for several types of support devices all comprising the same housing part 20, intended to receive the label, and comprising different housing parts 10, and adapted to the different types of pins to be received.
