Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of labeling an object as well as a presentation medium for an object.
  • the aim of the present invention is to propose a simple process and quick labeling of an object which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned above as well as a labeling support allowing the implementation of this process.
  • This object is achieved by a method of labeling an object according to claim 5.
  • the information is no longer written on the medium itself but on the informative label which is interchangeable, but lockable on the support plate, it is thus possible to change the informative label without altering the support and without detaching the object from the support plate.
  • the method of fixing the object to the plate is not limiting of the present invention.
  • the informative label can be pasted with a specific adhesive allowing it to be peeled off without damage, or else be held by all existing fixing means.
  • the label is locked to the support plate which allows to avoid the substitution of one label by another and which turns out important when the label includes for example the price of the object labeled.
  • Label information may be visible on the first face of the plate due to, for example, the use to form the plate of transparent material.
  • the plate can also be locally transparent to the information areas of the label.
  • the present invention also provides a support for presentation according to claim 1.
  • these means of attachment may include two corresponding parallel rails of preferably the length of the presentation plate, the label informative sliding then between these two slides to be there then locked.
  • the presentation medium of the invention has a plate 1 and an informative label 2.
  • Plate 1 has at least one opening 1a, the shapes of which correspond to certain inscriptions 2a of the informative label 2 and, at one of its ends, suspension means 1c of the device.
  • the presentation plate 1 and the informative label 2 of the device of the invention are shown disjoint from each other.
  • the plate 1 comprises means 3 for fixing an object which include two tabs 3a and two openings 3b formed on the first face of the plate 1.
  • the tongues 3a can be inserted in the openings 3b so as to fix an object on the first face of the plaque.
  • the tongues 3a are integral with the length of the plate 1 and comprise grooves suitable for fixing them in the openings 3b. After introduction of these tabs, they are united to fix the object to be presented then cut.
  • the tongues 3a can be independent of the plate 1.
  • the labeling process of the present invention is implemented as follows in the case of the particular embodiment 1 of FIG. 1.
  • the label is removably attached informative 2 on the second side of the plate 1 so make coincide the inscriptions 2a with the openings 1a, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the object A is fixed on the plate 1 by means of the tongues 3a which are introduced into the openings 3b.
  • only one type of support is used whatever the characteristics of object A to be fixed.
  • the method of the present invention requires only one type of support. It is even possible to use only one type of label informative 2 which includes information relating to all products likely to be fixed on the plate 1. Depending on the product to be sold will choose the label which will indicate, for example, using a pictogram, the characteristics and / or destination of the product. The label is then positioned so that the information relating to the product A actually attached to the device with the openings of the plate.
  • the fixing means 4 comprise two slides 4a and 4b which extend over the two parallel edges of the corresponding plate 1 the length of the latter.
  • Each slide 4a, 4b forms a groove 4c in which slides the informative label 2.
  • the fixing means 4 comprise also a transverse stop 4d disposed at one end of the slides 4a and 4b which maintain the informative label 2, the end of the latter coming to bear on the stop 4d.
  • the stop 4d is arranged at the end of the opposite plate by means of suspension 1c. It is also possible, according to another embodiment not shown to equip the plate 1 of two transverse stops arranged on opposite edges of the plate 1, the removal of the informative label 2 then requiring lift the latter slightly so that it slides over the stops.
  • tabs 3a are the only ones by compared to the fields of the support which facilitates manufacturing. These tabs 3a are provided on at least one of its four sides with teeth which cooperate with the edge of the opening 3b to prevent the extraction of the tongue once it is engaged.
  • the informative label will present the right to opening 3b a cutout for engaging the tongue. This tab then holds the label in place i.e. locks it in translation.
  • the informative label will be locked on the face back of the support for example using locking means such as for example a rivet to avoid its replacement by a label inappropriate.
  • suspension means which in this example is present in the form of a hook has an opening so the edges are not parallel but open in V from the bottom of the hook.
  • a notch allows the hook to be positioned on a support rod.
  • Notches made in one of the edges of the plate 1 allow to accommodate the thickness of the tongue 3a when it encloses object A.
