Description

L'invention est relative à un dispositif de présentation de produits à la vente, du type comportant en combinaison : deux rails espacés de positionnement et des réglettes formant entretoise aptes à être solidarisées auxdits rails.The invention relates to a device for presenting products for sale, of the type comprising in combination: two spaced positioning rails and strips forming spacer capable of being secured to said rails.

Pour la présentation de produits à la vente, en particulier en grandes surfaces de vente, notamment en hypermarchés, il est courant de fixer des rails espacés de positionnement à des tablettes ou des rayonnages. Ces rails sont généralement entretoisés par des réglettes, et sont aptes à recevoir des produits destinés à la vente, de manière connue en soi.For the presentation of products for sale, especially in supermarkets, especially in hypermarkets, it is common to set spaced positioning rails to shelves or shelves. These rails are generally bridged by strips, and are able to receive products for sale, in a manner known per se.

Actuellement, la mise en place des rails et des réglettes sur une tablette ou un rayonnage de présentation s'effectue au moyen de diverses opérations de positionnement, de perçage ou de soudage.Currently, the implementation of the rails and strips on a shelf or presentation rack is done by means of various positioning operations, drilling or welding.

Les documents FR 2 667 229, US 5 360 122 et US 5 295 591 décrivent les dispositifs de l'art antérieur.FR 2,667,229, US 5,360,122 and US 5,295,591 describe the devices of the prior art.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, on a proposé de fixer les rails directement par collage, par exemple au moyen d'un adhésif double face aux panneaux ou aux rayonnages de présentation. Cependant, cette technique ne permet pas d'assurer de manière certaine un bon positionnement du dispositif de présentation, de sorte qu'en cas de défauts de parallélisme entre les rails où de défauts de parallélisme entre les réglettes, il en résulte une présentation inesthétique des produits.To overcome these drawbacks, it has been proposed to fix the rails directly by gluing, for example by means of a double-sided adhesive to the panels or presentation shelves. However, this technique does not make it possible to ensure certainly a good positioning of the presentation device, so that in case of parallelism defects between the rails or defects of parallelism between the strips, this results in an unsightly presentation of products.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, en proposant un nouveau dispositif de présentation de produits à la vente dont les rails sont aptes à être collés à une tablette de présentation ou à un rayonnage, tout en assurant un bon positionnement et une présentation esthétique des produits destinés à la vente.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, by proposing a new device for presenting products for sale whose rails are able to be glued to a presentation shelf or to a rack, while ensuring a good positioning and a aesthetic presentation of products for sale.

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de présentation de produits à la vente, du type comportant en combinaison : deux rails espacés de positionnement et des réglettes formant entretoise aptes à être solidarisées auxdits rails, caractérisé en ce que chaque rail comporte au moins un moyen de positionnement et au moins un moyen d'encliquetage de réglette.The subject of the invention is a device for presenting products for sale, of the type comprising in combination: two spaced positioning rails and spacer strips capable of being secured to said rails, characterized in that each rail comprises at least one means positioning device and at least one ratchet detent means.

Sur la figure 1, un dispositif selon l'invention comporte un rail avant 1 et un rail arrière 2 espacés et destinés à être fixés sur une tablette de présentation ou un rayonnage non représentés.In Figure 1, a device according to the invention comprises a front rail 1 and a rear rail 2 spaced apart and intended to be fixed on a display tablet or rack not shown.

Plusieurs réglettes 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d sont destinées à être fixées solidarisées aux rails 1 et 2.Several strips 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are intended to be secured to the rails 1 and 2.

Les réglettes 3a à 3d sont des réglettes de séparation de produits à présenter.The strips 3a to 3d are product separation strips to present.

Chaque réglette 3a à 3d est démontable et peut être solidarisée aux rails 1 et 2 dans une position désirée.Each strip 3a to 3d is removable and can be secured to the rails 1 and 2 in a desired position.

La réglette 3a est représentée en position détachée.The strip 3a is shown in detached position.

La réglette 3b est insérée par son extrémité avant dans le rail 1 présentant une section de conformation sensiblement en J.The strip 3b is inserted by its front end into the rail 1 having a conformation section substantially in J.

La réglette 3c a été insérée dans le rail avant 1 et a été soumise à un pivotement P pour s'indexer dans une position choisie sur le rail arrière 2.The strip 3c has been inserted into the front rail 1 and has been pivoted P to index itself in a chosen position on the rear rail 2.

La réglette 3d a été mise en place comme la réglette 3c et a subi une poussée d'encliquetage vers le bas dans le sens de la flèche E, de manière à être encliquetée à la fois sur le rail avant 1 et sur le rail arrière 2.The 3d ruler was set up as the ruler 3c and has undergone a downward ratchet push in the direction of the arrow E, so as to be snapped onto both the front rail 1 and the rear rail 2 .

Chaque réglette 3a à 3d comporte une tête 4 d'engagement apte à s'insérer dans la section en J du rail 1 en y étant positionnée par coopération avec un moyen de positionnement du rail 1. Chaque réglette 3a à 3d possède également une extrémité arrière 5 d'indexation apte à coopérer avec des crans d'indexation 6 du rail 2.Each strip 3a to 3d comprises an engagement head 4 adapted to fit into the J-section of the rail 1 by being positioned therein by cooperation with a positioning means of the rail 1. Each strip 3a to 3d also has a rear end 5 of indexing adapted to cooperate with indexing notches 6 of the rail 2.

Comme décrit ci-après, les extrémités avant et arrière de chaque réglette 3a à 3d possèdent également des conformations d'encliquetage propres à coopérer avec des conformations correspondantes 7 d'encliquetage pratiquées à la fois sur le rail avant 1 et sur le rail arrière 2.As described below, the front and rear ends of each strip 3a to 3d also have snap-fitting conformations adapted to cooperate with corresponding snap-fitting conformations 7 formed on both the front rail 1 and the rear rail 2 .

La conformation du rail avant 1 peut varier et être différente d'une section sensiblement en J, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, du moment que cette conformation permet l'engagement d'une tête ou d'un moyen d'engagement d'une réglette 3a à 3d.The conformation of the front rail 1 may vary and be different from a section substantially J, without departing from the scope of the invention, provided that this conformation allows the engagement of a head or a means of engagement d a ruler 3a to 3d.

La conformation du rail arrière 2 sensiblement en équerre peut également, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, être modifiée en conservant un agencement permettant un pivotement de réglette 3 dans le sens de la flèche P, une indexation par des moyens de positionnement ou d'indexation équivalents à des crans 6, et enfin un encliquetage au moins sur ce rail arrière 2.The conformation of the rear rail 2 substantially square can also, without departing from the scope of the invention, be modified by maintaining an arrangement for pivoting of the strip 3 in the direction of the arrow P, an indexing by positioning means or indexing equivalent to notches 6, and finally a snap at least on this rear rail 2.

Sur la figure 2, une réglette 8 formant poussoir d'objets ou de produits à présenter à la vente comporte une glissière 9 sur laquelle coulisse un poussoir 10 rappelé vers l'avant par un ressort spiral 11 enroulé à l'intérieur du poussoir 10.In FIG. 2, a slide 8 forming a pusher of objects or products to be presented for sale comprises a slideway 9 on which slides a pusher 10 biased forward by a spiral spring 11 wound inside the pusher 10.

La réglette-poussoir 8 comporte un corps 12 venant de matière avec la glissière 9.The push-rod 8 comprises a body 12 coming from material with the slide 9.

Ce corps 12 comporte deux nervures verticales et un plancher 13 sur lequel se déroule et s'enroule le ressort 11. Le corps 12 comporte également une extrémité avant 14 compatible avec l'engagement et le positionnement dans un rail avant 1 et une extrémité arrière 15 d'indexation et d'encliquetage sur un rail 2.This body 12 comprises two vertical ribs and a floor 13 on which unwinds and winds the spring 11. The body 12 also has a front end 14 compatible with the engagement and positioning in a front rail 1 and a rear end 15 indexing and snapping on a rail 2.

L'extrémité avant 14 comporte deux petits ergots 14a de positionnement et deux éléments mâles 14b formant tenons d'encliquetage.The front end 14 has two small positioning lugs 14a and two male elements 14b forming detent lugs.

L'extrémité arrière 15 comporte, dans le prolongement des nervures du corps 12 deux crochets d'indexation 15a et deux tenons d'encliquetage 15b.The rear end 15 comprises, in the extension of the ribs of the body 12 two indexing hooks 15a and two latching lugs 15b.

De préférence, la réglette-poussoir 8 est composée d'un corps 12 injecté en matière synthétique , par exemple en polycarbonate, d'un poussoir coulissant 10 et d'un ressort 11 enroulable et déroulable. L'extrémité du ressort 11 est fixée de préférence à l'avant 14 de la réglette-poussoir 8.Preferably, the push-rod 8 is composed of a body 12 injected in synthetic material, for example polycarbonate, a sliding pusher 10 and a spring 11 rollable and unrollable. The end of the spring 11 is preferably fixed to the front 14 of the push-rod 8.

Sur la figure 3, une réglette 3 de séparation comporte une extrémité avant 4 et une extrémité arrière 5.In FIG. 3, a separation strip 3 comprises a front end 4 and a rear end 5.

La réglette 3 de séparation porte à l'avant un double volet 16a, 16b de souplesse prédéterminée pour permettre l'engagement ou le dégagement de produits coulissant entre deux réglettes de séparation 3.The separation strip 3 carries at the front a double flap 16a, 16b of predetermined flexibility to allow the engagement or release of products sliding between two strips separation 3.

L'extrémité avant 4 comporte une saillie 4a de positionnement et un tenon 4b d'encliquetage, ainsi qu'une butée 4c de pivotement.The front end 4 has a positioning projection 4a and a locking pin 4b, and a stop 4c pivoting.

L'extrémité arrière 5 comporte un cran 5a d'indexation et un tenon 5b d'encliquetage.The rear end 5 has a notch 5a indexing and a pin 5b snap.

De préférence, chaque réglette 3 de séparation comporte un corps 17 comportant une nervure centrale et deux pistes latérales 18 de glissement de produits. Chaque piste latérale 18 est courbée à son extrémité arrière à une distance correspondant sensiblement à l'épaisseur d'un poussoir 10. Cette disposition permet avantageusement de disposer sous la nervure 17 un tenon d'encliquetage 5b apte à coopérer avec une mortaise d'encliquetage 7 de rail arrière 2.Preferably, each separation strip 3 comprises a body 17 comprising a central rib and two lateral tracks 18 for sliding products. Each side track 18 is curved at its rear end at a distance substantially corresponding to the thickness of a pusher 10. This provision advantageously allows to have under the rib 17 a latching lug 5b adapted to cooperate with a snap mortise 7 rear rail 2.

Sur la figure 4, après avoir engagé l'extrémité avant 4 d'une réglette 3 dans la conformation en J du rail avant 1 et positionné le saillie 4a dans un creux 1a correspondant du rail avant 1, on peut pivoter la réglette dans le sens de la flèche P pour indexer la réglette 3 par rapport au rail arrière 2 en insérant le cran 5a dans le cran 6 de la réglette arrière 2.In FIG. 4, after having engaged the front end 4 of a slider 3 in the J-shaped configuration of the front rail 1 and positioned the projection 4a in a corresponding recess 1a of the front rail 1, the slider can be rotated in the direction of the arrow P to index the strip 3 relative to the rear rail 2 by inserting the notch 5a in the notch 6 of the rear strip 2.

Grâce à l'invention, le positionnement respectif des réglettes 3 par rapport au rail avant 1 et au rail arrière 2 est ainsi assuré de manière fiable et rapide.Thanks to the invention, the respective positioning of the strips 3 relative to the front rail 1 and the rear rail 2 is thus provided reliably and quickly.

Après avoir réalisé le pivotement P, il suffit ensuite d'une poussée complémentaire pour encliqueter les tenons 4b et 5b dans les mortaises 7 d'encliquetage du rail avant 1 et du rail arrière 2.After having made the pivoting P, it suffices then a complementary thrust to snap the tenons 4b and 5b into the mortises 7 snap of the front rail 1 and the rear rail 2.

La solidarisation des réglettes aux rails 1 et 2 permet ainsi d'obtenir de manière simple et rapide un positionnement automatique de dispositif selon l'invention sur une tablette ou un rayonnage de présentation.The fastening of the strips to the rails 1 and 2 thus makes it possible to obtain, in a simple and rapid manner, an automatic positioning of the device according to the invention on a tablet or presentation rack.

Egalement, cette mise en oeuvre de l'invention permet après avoir mis en place le rail avant 1, d'utiliser le pivotement vers l'arrière de plusieurs réglettes 3 pour espacer convenablement le rail arrière 2 du rail avant 1 et assurer un parfait parallélisme du montage.Also, this implementation of the invention makes it possible, after putting in place the front rail 1, to use the pivoting towards the rear of several strips 3 to properly space the rear rail 2 of the front rail 1 and ensure perfect parallelism of the assembly.

Sur les figures 5 à 7, sont représentées plus en détail une partie avant du rail 1 et des parties des extrémités avant 14 et 4 de réglette.Figures 5 to 7 are shown in more detail a front portion of the rail 1 and portions of the front ends 14 and 4 strip.

Sur l'extrémité avant 14 de réglette-poussoir 8, le ressort 11 de rappel n'est pas représenté par souci de clarté. Après mise en place, la fixation de ce ressort 11 de rappel se fait par insertion de son extrémité avant dans la fente 13a du plancher 13 et repliement de cette extrémité avant pour former un crochet de maintien.On the front end 14 of the push rod 8, the return spring 11 is not shown for the sake of clarity. After installation, the fixing of the return spring 11 is done by inserting its front end into the slot 13a of the floor 13 and folding of the front end to form a holding hook.

Pour équilibrer la poussée du ressort 11, chaque réglette-poussoir 8 est positionnée par ses extrémités 14a dans deux parties en creux la du rail avant 1 espacées d'environ la largeur du plancher 13, tandis que ses tenons d'encliquetage 14b sont également destinés à être encliquetés dans des conformations 7a, 7c formant mortaise du rail avant 1 espacées d'une largeur voisine de la largeur du plancher 13.To balance the thrust of the spring 11, each push rod 8 is positioned by its ends 14a in two recessed portions 1a of the front rail 1 spaced about the width of the floor 13, while its latching lugs 14b are also intended to be snapped into conformations 7a, 7c forming mortise of the front rail 1 spaced from a width close to the width of the floor 13.

L'extrémité avant 4 de réglette 3 de séparation est représentée sans ses volets 16a, 16b en matière souple et présente un seul ergot 4a de positionnement dans un creux correspondant 1a du rail avant 1 et un seul tenon 4b d'encliquetage dans une mortaise 7b du rail avant 1.The front end 4 of separation strip 3 is shown without its flaps 16a, 16b of flexible material and has a single lug 4a for positioning in a corresponding recess 1a of the front rail 1 and a single lug 4b snap in a mortise 7b front rail 1.

Ainsi, après avoir engagé les têtes avant, soit d'une réglette poussoir 8, soit d'une réglette 3 de séparation, on peut effectuer un pivotement usqu'à la venue en butée d'une paroi 14c ou 4c de butée contre la paroi 1b du rail avant 1, en étant assuré d'une perpendicularité parfaite d'une réglette 3 ou 8 formant entretoise par rapport au rail avant 1.Thus, after having engaged the front heads, either of a push bar 8, or of a strip 3 of separation, it is possible to pivot until the abutment of a wall 14c or 4c abuts against the wall 1b of the front rail 1, being ensured of a perfect perpendicularity of a strip 3 or 8 forming a spacer relative to the front rail 1.

Du fait que le pivotement s'effectue dans un plan perpendiculaire au rail avant 1, toutes les réglettes 3 ou 8 positionnées par rapport au rail avant 1 sont ainsi parallèles et le restent après encliquetage, ce qui permet d'obtenir l'esthétique de présentation recherchée par l'invention.Because the pivoting takes place in a plane perpendicular to the front rail 1, all the strips 3 or 8 positioned relative to the front rail 1 are thus parallel and remain after snapping, which provides the aesthetic presentation sought by the invention.

Sur les figures 8 à 10, sont représentées plus en détail une partie arrière du rail arrière 2 et des parties des extrémités arrière 14 et 4 de réglette.In Figures 8 to 10 are shown in more detail a rear portion of the rear rail 2 and portions of the rear ends 14 and 4 of the strip.

Une partie de rail arrière 2 présente une section sensiblement en forme d'équerre et comporte des crans d'indexation 6a, 6b, 6c et des mortaises d'encliquetage 7a, 7b, 7c.A rear rail portion 2 has a substantially square-shaped section and has indexing notches 6a, 6b, 6c and snap-on mortises 7a, 7b, 7c.

Les crans d'indexation 6 sont pratiqués sur l'aile sensiblement verticale de la section en équerre du rail arrière 2, tandis que les mortaises d'encliquetage 7a, 7b, 7c sont situées sur l'aile sensiblement horizontale du rail arrière 2.The indexing notches 6 are formed on the substantially vertical wing of the square section of the rear rail 2, while the snap-on mortises 7a, 7b, 7c are located on the substantially horizontal wing of the rear rail 2.

L'extrémité arrière 15 d'une réglette-poussoir 8 comporte deux crans d'indexation 5a et deux tenons d'encliquetage 5b. Les tenons d'encliquetage 5b sont aptes à coopérer avec des mortaises 7a, 7c espacées du rail arrière 2, après que les moyens d'indexation 5a soient engagés dans des crans espacés 6a, 6c du rail arrière 2. Pour assurer une bonne stabilité à l'arrière du dispositif, on prévoit également, de manière analogue à ce qui a été décrit en référence aux figures 5 à 7, que l'espacement des moyens d'indexation 5a et des moyens d'encliquetage 5b, ainsi que des crans d'indexation 6a, 6c et des mortaises d'encliquetage 7a, 7c soient voisines ou supérieurs à celles du plancher 13 de coulissement du ressort 11.The rear end 15 of a push rod 8 has two indexing notches 5a and two latching lugs 5b. The latching lugs 5b are able to cooperate with mortises 7a, 7c spaced apart from the rear rail 2, after the indexing means 5a are engaged in spaced notches 6a, 6c of the rear rail 2. To ensure good stability at the back of the device, it is also provided, in a manner analogous to that described with reference to Figures 5 to 7, that the spacing of the indexing means 5a and latching means 5b, and notches 6a, 6c indexing and ratchet mortises 7a, 7c are close to or greater than those of the sliding floor 13 of the spring 11.

Le plancher 13 est bordé par deux nervures latérales 9a, 9b formant glissière de coulissement et de poussée pour un poussoir 10 non représenté.The floor 13 is bordered by two lateral ribs 9a, 9b forming sliding slide and push for a pusher 10 not shown.

L'extrémité arrière 5 d'une réglette de séparation 3 comporte l'extrémité coudée d'une nervure 18 de glissement de produits, un tenon d'encliquetage 5b, et présente un moyen d'indexation 5a réalisé entre l'extrémité arrière de la paroi 17 et un plan de butée terminal 19 fixé à la paroi 17. Le plan 19 terminal délimite avec une découpe dans la paroi 17 le cran 5a d'indexation destiné à s'encrocheter avec un cran d'indexation 6 d'un rail arrière 2. Après enclenchement, le plan 19 vient s'engager derrière l'aile verticale du rail arrière 2 et retient ainsi la réglette de séparation 3 contre tout effort de traction vers l'avant, notamment lors du passage du produit sur les volets souples 16a, 16b.The rear end 5 of a separation strip 3 comprises the bent end of a product sliding rib 18, a detent pin 5b, and has an indexing means 5a formed between the rear end of the wall 17 and a terminal abutment plane 19 fixed to the wall 17. The end plane 19 delimits with a cutout in the wall 17 the notch 5a indexing intended to snap with an indexing notch 6 of a rear rail 2. After engagement, the plane 19 engages behind the vertical wing of the rear rail 2 and thus retains the separation strip 3 against any traction force to the front, especially during the passage of the product on the flexible flaps 16a , 16b.

L'invention décrite en référence à un mode de réalisation particulier n'y est nullement limitée, mais couvre au contraire toute modification de forme et toute variante de réalisation dans le cadre des présentes revendications.The invention described with reference to a particular embodiment is not limited thereto, but on the contrary covers any modification of form and any variant embodiment within the scope of the present claims.
