Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de rayonnage, du genre de ceux constitués par des lames multiples juxtaposables, ces lames étant aptes à être posées et fixées contre un mur, une autre paroi plane, ou contre des supports spéciaux, les bords longitudinaux de deux lames consécutives s'emboítant l'un dans l'autre, et des rainures longitudinales, aptes à recevoir des accessoires, étant formées sur les lames et/ou à la jonction de ces lames. Un tel dispositif est plus particulièrement destiné à la présentation d'articles sur des lieux de vente ou d'exposition.The present invention relates to a racking device, kind of those consisting of multiple juxtaposable blades, these blades being able to be laid and fixed against a wall, another flat wall, or against special supports, the longitudinal edges of two blades consecutive intermeshing in one another, and longitudinal grooves, apt to receive accessories, being formed on the blades and / or at the junction of these blades. Such a device is more particularly intended for presentation articles on sales or exhibition sites.

Lorsqu'un dispositif de rayonnage de ce genre nécessite un éclairage, les alimentations électriques se font habituellement par l'intermédiaire de prises de courant encastrées au milieu d'une lame spécifique, de conception spéciale. Ceci complique la structure du dispositif, en rompant la continuité des profilés constituant les lames. Surtout, de tels moyens d'alimentation électriques sont positionnés de façon ponctuelle et invariable, et ne permettent pas de disposer d'une possibilité de branchement électrique en des points quelconques, en nombre illimité, librement choisis et éventuellement modifiables.When a shelving device of this kind requires a lighting, power supplies are usually through recessed power outlets in the middle of a specific blade, special design. This complicates the structure of the device, breaking the continuity of the sections constituting the blades. Above all, such means power supply are positioned in a punctual and invariable manner, and do not allow to have a possibility of electrical connection in any points, in unlimited number, freely chosen and possibly modifiable.

Par ailleurs, il existe des "rails" qui permettent de monter et d'alimenter en électricité des accessoires tels que des spots d'éclairage, dont l'ensemble y compris la fixation est spécialement conçu pour s'adapter sur le profil du rail. On connaít aussi des systèmes dits par "électrobandes" qui permettent de positionner des prises de courant sur une bande d'alimentation électrique. Ces systèmes existants autorisent un libre choix des points de montage ou d'alimentation d'accessoires électriques, mais ils ne constituent pas en eux-mêmes des dispositifs de rayonnage, et ne permettent pas la fixation et l'alimentation d'accessoires standard, sans adaptation particulière.Moreover, there are "rails" that allow you to climb and to supply electricity to accessories such as lighting spots, of which the set including the binding is specially designed to fit on the rail profile. We also know systems called "electroband" which allow to position power outlets on a power strip electric. These existing systems allow a free choice of points of mounting or supplying electrical accessories, but they do not constitute not in themselves shelving devices, and do not allow the attachment and supply of standard accessories, without special adaptation.

Dans le brevet US n° 4 747 025 est décrit un panneau plein d'exposition, réalisé d'une seule pièce, dans lequel sont creusées des rainures parallèles permettant le montage de moyens d'éclairage électriques, alimentés sous basse tension par l'intermédiaire d'un transformateur abaisseur. La fixation mécanique et l'alimentation électrique de chaque lampe s'effectuent entre deux rainures consécutives du panneau, des conducteurs électriques longitudinaux étant disposés extérieurement, à la surface du panneau, en bordure des rainures.In US Patent No. 4,747,025 a solid panel is disclosed. exhibited in one piece, in which grooves are hollowed out parallel devices for mounting electric lighting means, powered under low voltage via a step-down transformer. The mechanical fastening and the power supply of each lamp are made between two consecutive grooves of the panel, electrical conductors longitudinals being arranged externally, on the surface of the panel, border of the grooves.

Dans un tel système connu, les conducteurs électriques d'alimentation sont donc directement accessibles, et ne se trouvent pas protégés, ce qui interdit toute utilisation du système sous des tensions électriques habituelles (soit 220 volts pour la France). Ainsi, ce système est limité dans son utilisation à des appareils d'éclairage spécifiques, fonctionnant sous basse tension. Par contre, le système du brevet US n° 4 747 025 n'est pas du tout adapté à l'alimentation électrique de lampes fonctionnant sous une tension normale. De plus, ce document ne décrit aucun moyen permettant de poser des articles de diverse nature à exposer.In such a known system, electrical conductors are therefore directly accessible, and can not be found protected, which prohibits any use of the system under usual electric (220 volts for France). So, this system is limited in its use to specific lighting fixtures, functioning under low voltage. In contrast, the system of US Patent No. 4,747,025 is not at all suitable for the power supply of lamps operating under a normal voltage. In addition, this document does not describe any means to pose articles of various nature to expose.

La plupart de ces inconvénients ont été résolus par le brevet FR n° 2 720 247 qui décrit un dispositif de présentation ou d'exposition, du genre précisé plus haut, dans les rainures longitudinales duquel dispositif s'étendent longitudinalement des conducteurs électriques d'alimentation, et dans lesquelles rainures des modules amovibles peuvent être introduits et retenus pour le montage d'appareils d'éclairage.Most of these disadvantages have been solved by the French Patent No. 2,720,247 which describes a presentation or display device of the kind specified above, in the longitudinal grooves of which device extend longitudinally of electrical supply conductors, and in which grooves of the removable modules can be inserted and retained for mounting lighting fixtures.

Ce dispositif connu de présentation ou d'exposition d'appareils d'éclairage du commerce satisfait aux normes de sécurité par une protection appropriée des conducteurs électriques, et permet un large choix de position des appareils d'éclairage, mais il n'est satisfaisant que lorsque les appareils d'éclairage constituent eux-mêmes les articles exposés. Pour l'exposition d'autres types d'articles dont on souhaiterait renforcer l'attrait commercial, ce dispositif ne permet pas de réaliser toute sorte d'éclairage souhaitable, en particulier un éclairage par l'avant ".This known device for presenting or displaying apparatus Lighting Fixture Meets Safety Standards Through Protection appropriate electrical conductors, and allows a wide choice of position lighting equipment, but it is satisfactory only when the appliances lighting are themselves the articles on display. For the exhibition other types of articles whose commercial appeal would be enhanced, This device does not allow any kind of desirable lighting to be particular front lighting ".

La présente invention vise à fournir un dispositif de rayonnage à lames multiples juxtaposables, permettant de réaliser tout éclairage adapté à la mise en valeur des articles présentés, en particulier un éclairage "par l'avant", avec des moyens d'alimentation électrique d'appareils d'éclairage permettant un libre choix de la position des appareils d'éclairage tout en apportant une facilité d'utilisation extrême et en assurant une sécurité satisfaisante par une protection appropriée des conducteurs électriques.The present invention aims to provide a shelving device to multiple juxtaposable blades, allowing any lighting adapted to the highlighting of the articles presented, in particular a lighting "from the front", with power supply means of lighting apparatus allowing a free choice of the position of the luminaires while bringing a extreme ease of use and ensuring satisfactory safety by appropriate protection of electrical conductors.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif de rayonnage en particulier pour la présentation d'articles sur des lieux de vente ou d'exposition, du genre de ceux constitués par des lames multiples juxtaposables, ces lames étant aptes à être posées et fixées contre un mur ou une autre paroi plane, ou encore contre des supports tels que montants conçus à cet effet, les bords longitudinaux de deux lames consécutives s'emboítant l'un dans l'autre, et sur les lames et/ou à la jonction de ces lames étant formées des rainures longitudinales dans lesquelles s'étendent longitudinalement des conducteurs électriques d'alimentation pour l'alimentation d'appareils d'éclairage, des organes de support étant montés dans lesdites rainures longitudinales pour soutenir des tablettes amovibles en partie inférieure desquelles sont fixés les appareils d'éclairage.For this purpose, the invention relates to a racking device particular for the presentation of articles on sales or exhibition places, of the kind of those constituted by multiple juxtaposable blades, these blades being able to be laid and fixed against a wall or other flat wall, or again against supports such as studs designed for this purpose, the edges longitudinal sections of two consecutive blades fitting one into the other, and on the blades and / or at the junction of these blades being formed grooves in which longitudinal conductors extend longitudinally electrical power supply for the supply of lighting fixtures, supporting members being mounted in said longitudinal grooves for support removable shelves at the bottom of which are fixed the lightening devices.

Ainsi, l'idée inventive consiste à monter des organes de support de tablettes du genre consoles, dans les rainures longitudinales formées sur les lames et/ou à la jonction de ces lames, l'éclairage pouvant être reporté en tout endroit sous les tablettes pour mettre en valeur un article disposé sur une tablette inférieure. De plus, l'accrochage des organes de support et l'alimentation électrique des appareils d'éclairage peuvent être réalisés dans une seule et même rainure longitudinale. Outre son intérêt esthétique, de discrétion, cette disposition est particulièrement appréciable pour l'équipement de magasins de vente et locaux d'exposition, car elle assure une meilleure facilité d'utilisation et une plus grande liberté dans le choix de la position des tablettes. Le dispositif obtenu est donc parfaitement modulaire tant quant à la position des étagères que pour l'éclairage.Thus, the inventive idea is to mount support tablets of the console type, in the longitudinal grooves formed on the blades and / or at the junction of these blades, the lighting can be reported in any place under the shelves to highlight an article arranged on a lower shelf. In addition, the attachment of the support members and the power supply of the lighting fixtures can be realized in one and the same longitudinal groove. In addition to its aesthetic interest, discretion, this arrangement is particularly valuable for the equipment sales and exhibition space because it provides better ease of use and greater freedom in the choice of the position of tablets. The device obtained is therefore perfectly modular as regards the Shelves position only for lighting.

Avantageusement, les conducteurs électriques d'alimentation alimentent les appareils d'éclairage par l'intermédiaire d'adaptateurs amovibles aptes à être introduits et retenus dans les rainures longitudinales des lames, et de liaisons électriques avec les appareils d'éclairage.Advantageously, the electrical supply conductors power lighting fixtures via removable adapters adapted to be introduced and retained in the longitudinal grooves of the blades, and electrical connections with lighting fixtures.

Ceci permet de "suspendre" l'appareil d'éclairage en tout endroit de la tablette, même à grande distance du panneau constitué par les lames juxtaposées, par exemple pour réaliser un éclairage "par l'avant" des articles à présenter. Chaque adaptateur de type connu en soi coopère avec les conducteurs électriques intégrés aux lames, et est relié à l'appareil d'éclairage par des liaisons électriques telles que de simples fils. Le déplacement d'un adaptateur d'une position vers une autre s'effectue rapidement et facilement. L'adaptateur peut alimenter tout type d'appareil d'éclairage (lampe, spot, tube fluorescent, etc...).This allows to "suspend" the lighting fixture anywhere the tablet, even at a great distance from the panel constituted by the blades juxtaposed, for example to achieve lighting "from the front" of items to present. Each type adapter known per se cooperates with the integrated electrical conductors to the blades, and is connected to the light fixture by electrical connections such as simple wires. Moving a adapter from one position to another is quick and easy. The adapter can power any type of lighting fixture (lamp, spot, tube fluorescent, etc ...).

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les lames sont réalisées sous forme de profilés métalliques, des baguettes isolantes réalisées sous forme de profilés en matière synthétique étant montées dans les rainures longitudinales formées sur les lames et/ou à la jonction des lames, lesdites baguettes isolantes comportant elles-mêmes des gorges longitudinales dans lesquelles sont logés les conducteurs électriques d'alimentation des appareils d'éclairage. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the blades are made in the form of metal profiles, insulating rods made in the form of plastic profiles being mounted in the grooves formed on the blades and / or at the junction of the blades, said insulating rods themselves having longitudinal grooves in which are housed the electrical conductors of power devices lighting.

Les lames, par exemple en aluminium, constituent, une fois assemblées, un panneau porteur, tandis que les baguettes assurent l'isolation électrique des conducteurs électriques d'alimentation.The blades, for example of aluminum, constitute, once assembled, a carrying panel, while the chopsticks provide the insulation electrical power supply conductors.

Ces derniers parcourent longitudinalement les baguettes, sur toute leur longueur. Ainsi dissimulés dans les gorges des baguettes, ils constituent un système d'alimentation électrique discret, et n'affectent pas l'esthétique du dispositif.The latter travel longitudinally the chopsticks, on any their length. Thus hidden in the throats of the chopsticks, they constitute a discrete power supply system, and do not affect the aesthetics of the device.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de ce dispositif de rayonnage, sur lequel :

  • Figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'un dispositif de rayonnage conforme à la présente invention ;
  • Figure 2 est une vue en coupe partielle du même dispositif, illustrant le montage d'un adaptateur.
    • In any case, the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of example, an embodiment of this racking device, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a sectional view of a racking device according to the present invention;
  • Figure 2 is a partial sectional view of the same device, illustrating the mounting of an adapter.

    • Comme illustré sur les figures 1 et 2, des rainures longitudinales 3 possédant avantageusement un profil en "T" sont formées sur des lames 2 en aluminium qui constituent, une fois juxtaposées, un panneau porteur. Ces rainures 3 reçoivent des baguettes isolantes 4 en matière synthétique isolante.As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, longitudinal grooves 3 advantageously having a "T" profile are formed on blades 2 in aluminum which constitute, once juxtaposed, a carrier panel. These grooves 3 receive insulating rods 4 in synthetic insulating material.

    Trois gorges longitudinales 41, 42, 43 de profil adapté sont ménagées dans chaque baguette 4, elles constituent chacune un logement pour un conducteur électrique d'alimentation réalisé sous la forme d'un fil métallique : un conducteur neutre 11, un conducteur de phase 12 et un conducteur de terre 13.Three longitudinal grooves 41, 42, 43 of adapted profile are formed in each rod 4, they each constitute a housing for an electrical supply conductor made in the form of a wire metal: a neutral conductor 11, a phase conductor 12 and a earth conductor 13.

    Les trois gorges 41, 42, 43 sont ouvertes vers l'intérieur de la rainure 3 de sorte que les conducteurs électriques correspondants 11, 12, 13 présentent tous une zone découverte, pouvant localement être mise en contact avec d'autres éléments électriquement conducteurs.The three grooves 41, 42, 43 are open towards the interior of the groove 3 so that the corresponding electrical conductors 11, 12, 13 all present an open area, which can be locally put in contact with other electrically conductive elements.

    Les conducteurs neutre 11 et de phase 12 sont profondément encastrés dans la baguette 4 de telle manière que seul un élément conducteur adéquat peut venir à leur contact, assurant ainsi une sécurité accrue.Neutral conductors 11 and phase 12 are deeply recessed in the rod 4 so that only a conductive element Adequate can come to their contact, thus ensuring increased security.

    Les rainures 3 reçoivent des consoles de support 5 sur lesquelles sont posées des tablettes amovibles 6 de manière à constituer des étagères.The grooves 3 receive support brackets 5 on which are placed removable shelves 6 so as to form shelves.

    On notera que le conducteur de terre 13 est légèrement en saillie, pour faciliter son contact avec tout objet métallique qui serait introduit dans la rainure, en particulier une console de support 5 de tablette amovible 6. Bien entendu, ce conducteur de terre 13 renforce encore la sécurité du dispositif.Note that the ground conductor 13 is slightly protruding, to facilitate its contact with any metal object that would be introduced into the groove, especially a support bracket 5 of removable tablet 6. Good Of course, this ground conductor 13 further enhances the safety of the device.

    Une lampe à tube fluorescent 7 est fixée par des moyens connus en dessous de chaque tablette 6, en tout endroit adapté pour éclairer un article A exposé sur une tablette inférieure 6': le choix de la position de la lampe 7 est totalement libre, d'autant plus que les tablettes 6 sont mobiles et ne comportent aucun branchement électrique, ce qui permet d'en faire varier la disposition sans modification du panneau porteur et sans outillage particulier. On peut donc réaliser un éclairage "par l'avant" d'un article A disposé sur une tablette 6' à un étage inférieur.A fluorescent tube lamp 7 is fixed by known means under each shelf 6, in any place suitable for illuminating an article Has exposed on a lower shelf 6 ': the choice of the position of the lamp 7 is completely free, especially since the tablets 6 are mobile and do not include no electrical connection, which makes it possible to vary the layout without modification of the carrier panel and without special tools. We can therefore make a lighting "from the front" of an article A arranged on a tablet 6 ' on a lower floor.

    Comme illustré par la figure 2, pour l'alimentation de la lampe, un adaptateur électrique amovible 8 de type connu en soi est engagé dans une rainure 3, et vient s'appliquer par ses contacts électriques contre les conducteurs électriques respectifs 11, 12 incorporés dans la baguette 4 de la rainure 3.As illustrated in FIG. 2, for the supply of the lamp, a removable electrical adapter 8 of a type known per se is engaged in a groove 3, and is applied by its electrical contacts against the respective electrical conductors 11, 12 incorporated in the rod 4 of the groove 3.

    Les contacts de phase et de neutre de l'adaptateur 8 sont reliés par des liaisons électriques classiques 9 à une lampe 7 fixée sous la tablette 6. Ils peuvent être complétés par un contact de terre avec liaison électrique correspondante.The phase and neutral contacts of the adapter 8 are connected by conventional electrical connections 9 to a lamp 7 fixed under the tablet 6. They can be supplemented by an earth contact with electrical connection corresponding.

    L'adaptateur 8 peut alimenter tout type d'appareil d'éclairage (lampe, tube, spot, etc...); il peut être détaché puis replacé sur les mêmes rainures 3 en n'importe quel emplacement, chaque nouvel emplacement ainsi choisi assurant toujours de la même façon l'alimentation électrique.Adapter 8 can power any type of lighting fixture (lamp, tube, spot, etc ...); it can be detached and then placed back on the same 3 grooves in any location, every new location as well chosen always ensuring the same way the power supply.

    L'alimentation électrique générale du dispositif doit, bien entendu, amener le courant électrique aux conducteurs 11, 12, 13 insérés dans les différentes rainures 3. Cette alimentation générale se fait soit en façade par un module spécial, adapté à cette fonction, soit par un élément latéral spécifique, situé à une extrémité des lames 2.The general power supply of the device must, of course, bring the electric current to the conductors 11, 12, 13 inserted into the different grooves 3. This general power supply is done either in frontage by a special module, adapted to this function, either by a specific lateral element, located at one end of the blades 2.

    Le dispositif précédemment décrit est en particulier utilisable pour l'équipement de magasins de vente et de locaux d'exposition.The device described above can in particular be used for the equipment of sales stores and exhibition premises.

    On ne s'éloignerait pas du cadre de l'invention, telle que définie dans les revendications annexées, notamment :

    • en réalisant les tablettes et leurs consoles de support en une seule pièce ;
    • en utilisant tout type d'appareil d'éclairage tel que lampe, tube, ampoule en toute disposition et en tout nombre.
    It is not departing from the scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims, in particular:
    • realizing tablets and their support brackets in one piece;
    • using any type of lighting device such as lamp, tube, bulb in any arrangement and in any number.
