Description

L'invention concerne un support d'étiquetage associé à une broche allongée, ladite broche étant du type comportant une tige servant à suspendre des objets et un moyen d'accrochage sur un panneau à perforations ou sur un profilé.The invention relates to a labeling support associated with an elongated spindle, said spindle being of the type comprising a rod for hanging objects and a means of attachment to a perforated panel or to a profile.

Selon un mode de réalisation tout à fait classique, la tige servant à suspendre des objets est surmontée d'une deuxième tige, qui est fixée en son extrémité arrière, en général par soudage, à la tige de suspension de la broche, et dont l'extrémité avant se termine par un cadre porte-étiquette disposé au-dessus de l'extrémité libre de ladite tige de suspension (voir par exemple le document SE-B-440 020).According to a completely conventional embodiment, the rod used for hanging objects is surmounted by a second rod, which is fixed at its rear end, generally by welding, to the suspension rod of the spindle, and whose l he front end ends with a label-holder frame arranged above the free end of said suspension rod (see for example document SE-B-440 020).

Un tel support d'étiquetage est certes solide, car il constitue un ensemble rigide en métal, mais il est de fabrication onéreuse, et surtout­il risque de blesser la main d'une personne qui cherche à décrocher un produit suspendu. De plus, il constitue un ensemble lourd exigeant une fixation adaptée en conséquence, et il est définitivement rigide pour ce qui est de sa longueur (dans la pratique, on adapte la longueur du support d'étiquetage à celle de la tige de suspension, ce qui aboutit à des ensembles différents pour chaque longueur désirée).Such a labeling medium is certainly solid, because it constitutes a rigid metal assembly, but it is expensive to manufacture, and an over-tool risks injuring the hand of a person who is looking to pick up a suspended product. In addition, it constitutes a heavy assembly requiring an appropriately adapted fixing, and it is definitely rigid as regards its length (in practice, the length of the labeling support is adapted to that of the hanging rod, this which results in different sets for each desired length).

On a ensuite tenté de concevoir des supports d'étiquetage en matière plastique, ces supports étant réalisés séparément puis montés sur la broche.We then tried to design plastic labeling supports, these supports being produced separately and then mounted on the spindle.

On a ainsi proposé un support d'étiquetage conçu selon une bande moulée, réalisée en polychlorure de vinyle de type rhodoïd, cette bande étant munie de raidisseurs disposés longitudinalement. La bande était découpée, puis pliée au voisinage de ses deux extrémités : pour l'extrémité arrière, il était prévu un rebord avec deux trous pour le passage des branches de fourche d'une broche (broche accrochable sur un panneau à perforations), et pour l'extrémité avant, il était prévu un élargissement replié sur lequel une étiquette pouvait être disposée (en général insérée latéralement). On pourra par exemple se référer au document US-A-­4 665 639.A labeling support has thus been proposed designed according to a molded strip, made of polyvinyl chloride of the rhodoid type, this strip being provided with stiffeners arranged longitudinally. The strip was cut, then folded in the vicinity of its two ends: for the rear end, a rim was provided with two holes for the passage of the fork legs of a spindle (pin hookable on a perforated panel), and for the front end, a folded enlargement was provided on which a label could be placed (generally inserted laterally). We can for example refer to document US-A-4,665,639.

Un tel support présente cependant de nombreux inconvénients. Il est d'abord très fragile, et sa souplesse naturelle implique une flexion importante à partir d'une certaine longueur, ce qui rend parfois difficile l'accessibilité aux objets suspendus à la broche. De plus, le dimension­nement reste imposé, tant pour la longueur du support, que pour l'intervalle séparant les deux trous de passage. Enfin, un tel support ne peut être raisonnablement envisagé qu'avec des broches à fourche (les dents de la fourche pénétrant dans deux trous d'un panneau perforé) : on peut difficilement envisager une adaptation aux broches à étrier (l'étrier entoure partiellement un profilé anguleux, en général carré ou rectangulai­re, ce qui permet de positionner la broche qui tient par son propre poids à l'emplacement désiré du profilé).However, such a support has many drawbacks. It is first of all very fragile, and its natural flexibility implies significant bending from a certain length, which sometimes makes it difficult to access objects suspended from the spindle. In addition, the dimensioning remains imposed, both for the length of the support, and for the interval separating the two through holes. Finally, such a support can only be reasonably envisaged with fork pins (the teeth of the fork penetrating two holes in a perforated panel): it is difficult to envisage an adaptation to the caliper pins (the caliper partially surrounds an angular profile, generally square or rectangular, which makes it possible to position the spindle which holds by its own weight at the desired location of the profile).

On a également proposé d'utiliser une simple bande allongée, réalisée en matière plastique telle que du polycarbonate, présentant selon sa longueur une succession de paires de trous destinés au passage des dents de la fourche d'une broche à fourche. La bande présentait un profil plat, se rétrécissant légèrement vers un bord final élargi sur lequel pouvait être placée une étiquette. Cette approche est par exemple illustrée dans les documents US-A-4 583 308 et US-A-4 463 510.It has also been proposed to use a simple elongated strip, made of plastic material such as polycarbonate, having along its length a succession of pairs of holes intended for the passage of the teeth of the fork of a fork spindle. The strip had a flat profile, tapering slightly towards a widened final edge on which a label could be placed. This approach is for example illustrated in documents US-A-4,583,308 and US-A-4,463,510.

Un tel système est avantageux car il est économique, et qu'il permet de choisir la longueur désirée du support (en coupant la bande transversalement, la longueur est définie, et la paroi de trous adjacente au bord coupé sert pour la mise en place du support sur la fourche de la broche.Such a system is advantageous because it is economical, and it makes it possible to choose the desired length of the support (by cutting the strip transversely, the length is defined, and the wall of holes adjacent to the cut edge is used for the positioning of the support on the spindle fork.

Il présente cependant de nombreux inconvénients.However, it has many drawbacks.

Tout d'abord la longueur du support est en fait limitée dans la pratique : la flexibilité naturelle de la bande finit par constituer une gêne pour la préhension des produits suspendus à la broche, et il est en général nécessaire de soulever la bande d'une main, pendant que l'autre main décroche l'objet désiré, et de plus cette flexibilité peut aussi entraîner un certain avachissement du support.First of all, the length of the support is in fact limited in practice: the natural flexibility of the strip ends up being a hindrance for gripping the products suspended from the spindle, and it is generally necessary to lift the strip with a hand, while the other hand picks up the desired object, and moreover this flexibility can also cause a certain loosening of the support.

On retrouve également les inconvénients déjà mentionnés pour la technique précédente, notamment l'utilisation limitée à un seul type de broches, et pour un seul dimensionnement desdites broches, ce qui écarte a priori toute utilisation pour les broches à étrier, lesquelles sont en fait de plus en plus adoptées en raison de leurs multiples avantages.We also find the drawbacks already mentioned for the previous technique, in particular the use limited to a single type of pins, and for a single dimensioning of said pins, which means that a a priori any use for the stirrup pins, which are in fact more and more adopted because of their multiple advantages.

On a enfin proposé de réaliser un support d'étiquetage réalisé sous la forme d'un bras de sécurité surplombant une broche métallique (voir par exemple le document US-A-4 394 909).Finally, it has been proposed to produce a labeling support produced in the form of a security arm overhanging a metal pin (see for example document US-A-4,394,909).

La fonction première de ce bras est d'assurer une protection évitant de se blesser sur l'extrémité de la broche, et ce grâce à un bouclier protecteur enveloppant complètement ladite extrémité.The primary function of this arm is to provide protection against injury on the end of the spindle, thanks to a protective shield completely enveloping said end.

Le bras est ainsi constitué par une fourche horizontale fixée par une plaquette arrière directement sur un panneau perforé, et par un couvercle enveloppant la fourche en se terminant par un bouclier de recouvrement.The arm is thus constituted by a horizontal fork fixed by a rear plate directly on a perforated panel, and by a cover enveloping the fork ending in a covering shield.

Un tel bras présente cependant de nombreux inconvénients, dont le principal est de gêner considérablement la préhension des produits (il faut soulever d'une main le couvercle pour dégager ou engager un produit de l'autre main), car le bouclier constitue une butée qu'il faut nécessairement escamoter.However, such an arm has many drawbacks, the main one of which is that it considerably hinders the grip of the products (the cover must be lifted with one hand to release or engage a product with the other hand), since the shield constitutes a stop that 'it is necessary to retract.

L'invention a pour objet de réaliser un support d'étiquetage qui soit plus performant que les systèmes connus qui viennent d'être rappelés, et qui présente en particulier une grande souplesse d'adaptation aux conditions d'utilisation, tout en restant d'un coût de fabrication raisonnable.The object of the invention is to produce a labeling medium which is more efficient than the known systems which have just been recalled, and which in particular has great flexibility of adaptation to the conditions of use, while remaining a reasonable manufacturing cost.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de réaliser un support d'étiquetage qui soit léger, tout en étant suffisamment rigide pour ne pas gêner la préhension des objets suspendus à la broche.Another object of the invention is to provide a labeling support which is light, while being rigid enough not to hinder the gripping of objects suspended from the spindle.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de réaliser un support d'étiquetage qui soit aisé à mettre en place, et ce pour des types très variés de broches de suspension, et qui, une fois monté, ne risque pas de blesser la personne qui veut décrocher un produit.Another object of the invention is to provide a labeling support which is easy to put in place, and this for very varied types of suspension pins, and which, once mounted, does not risk injuring the person who wants to get a product.

Il s'agit plus particulièrement d'un support d'étiquetage associé à une broche allongée, ladite broche étant du type comportant une tige servant à suspendre des objets et un moyen d'accrochage sur un panneau à perforations ou sur un profilé, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte un corps allongé se raccordant par une extrémité à une plaquette de liaison permettant le montage dudit support sur la broche allongée, et par son autre extrémité à un cadre porte-étiquette, ledit corps allongé étant constitué par au moins deux tronçons disposés dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre et réunis par encliquetage, l'un desdits tronçons présentant une pluralité de zones transversales d'affaiblissement définissant une succession de segments et permettant de modifier la longueur dudit tronçon par cassure ou coupure au niveau d'une desdites zones d'affaiblissement, chacun desdits segments comportant des moyens d'encliquetage susceptibles de coopérer avec ceux prévus à cet effet sur le tronçon adjacent, de façon à permettre un encliquetage des tronçons concernés pour les différentes longueurs possibles dudit support.It is more particularly a labeling support associated with an elongated spindle, said spindle being of the type comprising a rod used to suspend objects and a means of attachment to a perforated panel or to a profile, characterized by the fact that it has an elongated body which is connected at one end to a plate connecting allowing the mounting of said support on the elongated spindle, and by its other end to a label-carrying frame, said elongated body being constituted by at least two sections arranged in the extension of one another and joined by snap-fastening, one of said sections having a plurality of transverse weakening zones defining a succession of segments and making it possible to modify the length of said section by breaking or cutting at one of said weakening zones, each of said segments comprising means for snap-fitting capable of cooperating with those provided for this purpose on the adjacent section, so as to allow a snap-fastening of the sections concerned for the different possible lengths of said support.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, la plaquette de liaison est raccordée à un tronçon présentant une succession de segments définis par des zones transversales d'affaiblissement, tandis que le cadre porte-étiquette est raccordé à un tronçon homologue exempt de telles zones d'affaiblissement.According to an advantageous embodiment, the connecting plate is connected to a section having a succession of segments defined by transverse weakening zones, while the label holder frame is connected to a homologous section free from such weakening zones .

En particulier, et selon une première variante, le raccorde­ment de la plaquette de liaison est obtenu par une patte flexible conférant une certaine souplesse d'articulation, tandis que le raccordement du cadre porte-étiquette est essentiellement rigide, par exemple par collage direct sur l'extrémité du tronçon associé ; il est en outre possible de prévoir que le tronçon adjacent à la plaquette de liaison comporte au moins une saillie venant en butée contre ladite plaquette à la façon d'un étai lorsque ledit tronçon est sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de ladite plaquette. Selon une autre variante, le raccordement de la plaquette de liaison est obtenu par un étrier rigide saillant de ladite plaquette et s'articulant sur l'extrémité adjacente du tronçon associé, par exemple au moyen d'un téton latéral prévu de chaque côté de ladite extrémité ; de préférence alors, le raccordement du cadre porte-étiquette est obtenu par deux pattes rigides saillant dudit cadre et s'articulant sur l'extrémité du tronçon associé, par exemple au moyen d'un téton latéral prévu de chaque côté de ladite extrémité.In particular, and according to a first variant, the connection of the connection plate is obtained by a flexible tab giving a certain flexibility of articulation, while the connection of the label holder frame is essentially rigid, for example by direct bonding on the 'end of the associated section; it is also possible to provide that the section adjacent to the connection plate includes at least one projection abutting against said plate in the manner of a forestay when said section is substantially perpendicular to the plane of said plate. According to another variant, the connection of the connecting plate is obtained by a rigid stirrup projecting from said plate and hinging on the adjacent end of the associated section, for example by means of a lateral stud provided on each side of said end; preferably then, the connection of the label holder frame is obtained by two rigid tabs projecting from said frame and articulated on the end of the associated section, for example by means of a lateral stud provided on each side of said end.

Il est intéressant de prévoir que le tronçon présentant une succession de segments ait une section transversale sensiblement en forme de U, l'autre tronçon adjacent ayant une section transversale complémen­taire. De préférence alors, la section transversale complémentaire de l'autre tronçon est sensiblement en forme de E, dont la branche médiane passe entre les ailes du profilé en U constituant le tronçon à segments ; en particulier, des ergots d'encliquetage sont prévus sur les ailes du profilé en U constituant le tronçon à segments, et de préférence du côté intérieur de celles-ci, auquel cas les ergots d'encliquetage homologues de l'autre tronçon sont prévus de chaque côté de la branche médiane du profilé en E constituant ledit autre tronçon.It is advantageous to provide that the section having a succession of segments has a cross section substantially U-shaped, the other adjacent section having a complementary cross section. Preferably then, the complementary cross section of the other section is substantially E-shaped, the middle branch of which passes between the wings of the U-shaped section constituting the segment with segments; in particular, latching lugs are provided on the wings of the U-shaped section constituting the segmented segment, and preferably on the inner side thereof, in which case the latching lugs homologous with the other segment are provided each side of the middle branch of the E-section constituting said other section.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la plaquette de liaison présente des trous servant au passage du moyen d'accrochage de la broche allongée, en particulier de la fourche permettant la mise en place de ladite broche sur un panneau à perforations. Il est en outre intéressant que la­plaquette de liaison présente un trou central servant au passage de la tige de la broche allongée, en particulier de la tige d'une broche comportant un étrier pour la mise en place de ladite broche sur un profilé ; en particulier, la zone du trou central est étoilée et de conformation conique, de façon à exercer un effet de freinage sur la tige de la broche allongée dans le sens du dégagement dudit support.According to a preferred embodiment, the connecting plate has holes used for the passage of the hooking means of the elongated spindle, in particular of the fork allowing the positioning of said spindle on a perforated panel. It is also advantageous for the connection plate to have a central hole used for the passage of the rod of the elongated spindle, in particular of the rod of a spindle comprising a stirrup for the positioning of said spindle on a profile; in particular, the zone of the central hole is star-shaped and of conical conformation, so as to exert a braking effect on the rod of the elongated spindle in the direction of release of said support.

De préférence alors, la plaquette de liaison présente en outre une languette flexible dont le bord libre présente une protubérance pouvant coopérer avec l'étrier de la broche allongée en vue d'un verrouillage longitudinal du support dans le sens du dégagement dudit support. Il est en outre avantageux que la plaquette de liaison présente une découpe centrale adjacente au bord libre de la languette flexible, ladite découpe étant conformée pour laisser passer les deux tiges d'une broche double ; en particulier, la découpe centrale définit les bords libres de la languette flexible précitée, qui est reliée à la plaquette de liaison par un bord formant charnière, ainsi qu'une fenêtre présentant latéralement deux épaulements au niveau du passage des tiges d'une broche double.Preferably then, the connecting plate also has a flexible tongue, the free edge of which has a protuberance capable of cooperating with the stirrup of the elongated spindle for the purpose of longitudinal locking of the support in the direction of release of said support. It is also advantageous that the connecting plate has a central cut adjacent to the free edge of the flexible tongue, said cut being shaped to allow the two rods to pass through a double pin; in particular, the central cutout defines the free edges of the aforementioned flexible tongue, which is connected to the connection plate by an edge forming a hinge, as well as a window having laterally two shoulders at the level of the passage of the rods of a double pin .

Il est également avantageux de prévoir la possibilité d'une autre variante, dans laquelle la plaquette de liaison est essentiellement constituée par un ensemble comportant un étrier rigide pour le raccorde­ment à l'extrémité adjacente du tronçon associé par encliquetage d'un téton associé, ledit ensemble étant en outre prolongé inférieurement par quatre pattes permettant un encliquetage direct sur un profilé en vue d'un verrouillage longitudinal dudit support dans le sens du dégagement de celui-ci, tout en laissant le passage d'une tige de broche allongée comportant un étrier pour la mise en place de ladite broche sur ledit profilé.It is also advantageous to provide for the possibility of another variant, in which the connection plate is essentially constituted by an assembly comprising a rigid bracket for connection to the adjacent end of the associated section by snap-fastening of an associated stud, said assembly being further extended below by four tabs allowing a direct snap on a profile for a longitudinal locking of said support in the direction of release thereof, while allowing the passage of an elongated spindle rod comprising a stirrup for the establishment of said spindle on said profile.

La figure 1 permet de distinguer un support d'étiquetage 1 conforme à l'invention, ledit support étant associé à une broche allongée du type comportant une tige servant à suspendre des objets et un moyen d'accrochage sur un panneau à perforations ou sur un profilé. De telles broches allongées sont bien connues, et largement utilisées dans des magasins ou grandes surfaces ; les figures 6 à 9 permettront de reconnaître deux types classiques de broches allongées, c'est-à-dire d'une part des broches s'accrochant sur un panneau à perforations grâce à une fourche ménagée en arrière de celles-ci, et d'autre part des broches s'accrochant sur un profilé grâce à un étrier prévu en arrière de celles-ci.FIG. 1 makes it possible to distinguish a labeling support 1 in accordance with the invention, said support being associated with an elongated spindle of the type comprising a rod used for hanging objects and a means of attachment to a perforated panel or to a streamlined. Such elongated pins are well known, and widely used in stores or large surfaces; FIGS. 6 to 9 will make it possible to recognize two conventional types of elongated pins, that is to say on the one hand pins which hook onto a perforation panel by means of a fork formed behind these, and d 'other hand pins hanging on a profile with a stirrup provided behind them.

Conformément à une caractéristique essentielle de la présente invention, le support d'étiquetage comporte un corps allongé 2 se raccordant par une extrémité à une plaquette de liaison 3 permettant le montage dudit support sur la broche allongée, et par son autre extrémité à un cadre porte-étiquette 4, ledit corps allongé étant constitué par au moins deux tronçons, ici deux tronçons seulement 2.1 et 2.2, disposés dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre et réunis par encliquetage, l'un des tronçons (ici le tronçon 2.2) présentant une pluralité de zones transversales d'affaiblissement 5 définissant une succession de segments 2.21, 2.22, 2.23, 2.24, 2.25, chacun desdits segments comportant des moyens d'encliquetage 6 susceptibles de coopérer avec ceux prévus à cet effet sur le tronçon adjacent 2.1, de façon à permettre un encliquetage des tronçons concernés pour les différentes longueurs possibles dudit support.In accordance with an essential characteristic of the present invention, the labeling support comprises an elongated body 2 which is connected at one end to a connection plate 3 allowing the mounting of said support on the elongated pin, and by its other end to a door frame label 4, said elongated body being constituted by at least two sections, here two sections only 2.1 and 2.2, arranged in the extension of one another and joined by snap-fastening, one of the sections (here section 2.2) having a plurality of transverse weakening zones 5 defining a succession of segments 2.21, 2.22, 2.23, 2.24, 2.25, each of said segments comprising latching means 6 likely to cooperate with those provided for this purpose on the adjacent section 2.1, so as to allow a snap-fastening of the sections concerned for the different possible lengths of said support.

Le support d'étiquetage présentement décrit comporte un corps allongé réalisé à partir d'un tronçon unique 2.2 à segments, et d'un tronçon adjacent unique 2.1. L'invention n'est cependant pas limitée à un tel mode de réalisation, et l'on pourrait par exemple fort bien envisager une structure comportant un tronçon à segments à chacune des extrémités duquel viendrait s'encliqueter un tronçon adjacent, l'un associé au cadre porte-étiquette, et l'autre à la plaquette de liaison. Le mode de réalisation décrit ici présente cependant l'avantage de la simplicité, et implique également un coût de fabrication relativement bas dans la mesure où le tronçon à segments 2.2 et la plaquette de liaison 3 peuvent être réalisés en une pièce unique moulée en matière plastique, de préférence en polypropylène.The labeling support presently described comprises an elongated body produced from a single section 2.2 with segments, and from a single adjacent section 2.1. The invention is not however limited to such an embodiment, and one could for example very well envisage a structure comprising a segment segment at each end of which an adjacent segment would snap, one associated to the label holder frame, and the other to the connection plate. The embodiment described here has the advantage of simplicity, however, and also involves a relatively low manufacturing cost insofar as the segment segment 2.2 and the connection plate 3 can be produced in a single piece molded from plastic. , preferably polypropylene.

Le tronçon 2.2 comporte ici cinq segments, mais il va de soi que ce nombre pourrait être inférieur ou supérieur à cinq. Une telle structure du tronçon 2.2 permet de définir aisément, en fonction des conditions particulières d'utilisation, la longueur désirée du support d'étiquetage : il suffit de déterminer la longueur utile à partir de la plaquette de liaison 3, puis de casser ou couper au niveau d'une zone transversale d'affaiblissement 5 pour enlever le ou les segments en excès. A titre indicatif, on pourra réaliser un tronçon 2.2 comportant cinq segments de 50 mm de longueur, ce qui permet, associé à un tronçon 2.1 de 70 mm, de réaliser un support d'étiquetage dont la longueur peut varier de 100 mm à 500 mm, avec cinq longueurs possibles.Section 2.2 here comprises five segments, but it goes without saying that this number could be less than or greater than five. Such a structure of the section 2.2 makes it possible to easily define, as a function of the particular conditions of use, the desired length of the labeling support: it suffices to determine the useful length from the connecting plate 3, then to break or cut at a transverse weakening zone 5 to remove the excess segment (s). As an indication, we can make a section 2.2 comprising five segments of 50 mm in length, which allows, associated with a 2.1 section of 70 mm, to produce a labeling medium whose length can vary from 100 mm to 500 mm , with five possible lengths.

D'une façon générale, la plaquette de liaison 3 est raccordée à un tronçon 2.2 présentant une succession de segments 2.21 à 2.25 définis par des zones transversales d'affaiblissement, tandis que le cadre porte-étiquette 4 est raccordé à un tronçon homologue 2.1 exempt de telles zones d'affaiblissement.Generally, the connecting plate 3 is connected to a section 2.2 having a succession of segments 2.21 to 2.25 defined by transverse weakening zones, while the label holder frame 4 is connected to a homologous section 2.1 free such weakening zones.

Les figures 2 et 3 permettent de mieux distinguer la structure des deux tronçons formant le corps allongé du support d'étiquetage. Le tronçon 2.2 présentant une succession de segments 2.21 à 2.25 a ici une section transversale sensiblement en forme de U, l'autre tronçon adjacent 2.1 ayant une section transversale complémentaire. Le choix de cette section transversale complémentaire sera de préférence orienté de telle façon que les tronçons présentent des surfaces de guidage homologues favorisant leur alignement réciproque. En l'espèce, la section transversale complémentaire du tronçon 2.1 est ici essentiellement en forme de E : les deux branches d'extrémité 7 de ce profilé en E passent à l'extérieur des ailes 8 du profilé en U lorsque les tronçons 2.1 et 2.2 sont rapprochés pour leur encliquetage mutuel, la branche médiane 9 dudit profilé en E passant quant à elle entre lesdites ailes du profilé en U.Figures 2 and 3 make it possible to better distinguish the structure of the two sections forming the elongated body of the labeling support. The section 2.2 presenting a succession of segments 2.21 to 2.25 has here a substantially U-shaped cross section, the other adjacent section 2.1 having a complementary cross section. The choice of this complementary cross section will preferably be oriented in such a way that the sections have homologous guide surfaces favoring their mutual alignment. In this case, the complementary cross section of the section 2.1 is here essentially in the form of an E: the two end branches 7 of this E section pass outside the wings 8 of the U section when the sections 2.1 and 2.2 are brought together for their mutual snap-fastening, the middle branch 9 of said E-profile passing between said wings of the U-profile.

Les profilés en U et en E qui viennent d'être décrits ne constituent naturellement qu'un exemple non limitatif, et l'homme de l'art pourra aisément envisager des tronçons à section cruciforme, ou en H, ou encore en W.The U and E sections which have just been described are naturally only a non-limiting example, and those skilled in the art can easily envisage sections with cruciform cross section, or H, or even W.

Les ergots d'encliquetage 6 sont prévus sur les ailes 8 du profilé en U constituant le tronçon à segments 2.2, et de préférence du côté intérieur de celles-ci. Ceci permet en effet de préserver un caractère lisse à la face extérieure des ailes du profilé, en vue d'un guidage télescopique avec le tronçon adjacent 2.1. Des ergots d'encliquetage homologues 10 sont également prévus sur l'autre tronçon 2.1, lesdits ergots étant ici prévus de chaque côté de la branche médiane 9 du profilé en E constituant ledit tronçon. La forme précise des ergots d'encliquetage 6, 10 pourra naturellement varier : on a représenté ici un mode de réalisation simple et efficace, avec des ergots d'encliquetage 6 présentant un creux délimité par deux butées arrondies, et des ergots homologues 10 de forme bombée. La figure 4 permet de bien comprendre comment les deux tronçons peuvent aisément s'encliqueter grâce à ces ergots : par rapprochement mutuel, l'ergot 10 du tronçon 2.1 est amené au contact de l'ergot 6 du tronçon 2.2, jusqu'à ce que la première butée arrondie soit franchie, la deuxième butée arrondie, de préférence de dimensionnement plus important que la première, servant alors de butée d'arrêt limitant le rapprochement relatif des deux tronçons. Une fois les deux tronçons 2.1 et 2.2 encliquetés, on dispose d'un corps allongé constituant une pièce unique présentant la longueur désirée.The snap lugs 6 are provided on the wings 8 of the U-shaped section constituting the segment segment 2.2, and preferably on the inner side thereof. This in fact makes it possible to preserve a smooth character on the outer face of the wings of the profile, with a view to telescopic guidance with the adjacent section 2.1. Counterpart latching lugs 10 are also provided on the other section 2.1, said lugs being here provided on each side of the middle branch 9 of the E-section constituting said section. The precise shape of the latching pins 6, 10 may naturally vary: a simple and effective embodiment is shown here, with latching lugs 6 having a hollow delimited by two rounded stops, and homologous lugs 10 of shape domed. FIG. 4 makes it easy to understand how the two sections can easily snap into place thanks to these lugs: by mutual approximation, the lug 10 of the section 2.1 is brought into contact with the lug 6 of the section 2.2, until the first rounded stop is crossed, the second rounded stop, preferably of larger dimensioning than the first, then serving as a stop stop limiting the relative approximation of the two sections. Once the two sections 2.1 and 2.2 snap into place, there is an elongated body constituting a single piece having the desired length.

Le système d'encliquetage à ergots 6 et 10 pourra naturel­lement être remplacé par des systèmes équivalents, par exemple avec d'une part des ergots saillants l'un vers l'autre pour le profilé en U (au niveau et à la place des ergots 6), et d'autre part des trous associés pour le profilé en E (au niveau et à la place des ergots 10 représentés) dans lesquels sont reçus lesdits ergots en position d'encliquetage.The latching system with lugs 6 and 10 could naturally be replaced by equivalent systems, for example with on the one hand protruding lugs towards each other for the U-shaped profile (at and in place of the lugs 6), and on the other hand associated holes for the E-profile (at the level and in place of the pins 10 shown) in which said pins are received in the latching position.

Le cadre porte-étiquette 4 est ici représenté sous la forme d'une simple plaquette collée contre l'extrémité du tronçon 2.1. Il va de soi cependant que l'homme de l'art pourra utiliser un mode quelconque d'étiquetage à ce niveau, et même rapporter sur la plaquette que constitue le cadre 4 une glissière transversale servant de porte-étiquettes (on utilisera alors de préférence une glissière présentant une face adhésive en vue d'un positionnement rapide par simple application contre le cadre).The label holder frame 4 is here represented in the form of a simple plate glued against the end of the section 2.1. It goes without saying, however, that a person skilled in the art will be able to use any type of labeling at this level, and even add a transverse slide serving as a label holder on the plate that constitutes the frame 4 (then preferably use a slide with an adhesive side for rapid positioning by simple application against the frame).

On va maintenant décrire la zone arrière du support d'étiquetage de l'invention, et en particulier la structure de la plaquette de liaison 3 de celui-ci, laquelle structure permet, ainsi qu'on va le voir, de s'adapter à de multiples situations d'applications, et à des types variés de broches de suspension.We will now describe the rear area of the labeling support of the invention, and in particular the structure of the connecting plate 3 thereof, which structure allows, as we will see, to adapt to multiple application situations, and to various types of suspension pins.

Ainsi que cela a été dit plus haut, il est intéressant de prévoir que la plaquette de liaison 3 soit reliée au tronçon à segments 2.2 par une patte flexible 11 conférant une certaine souplesse d'articulation, à la différence du raccordement du cadre porte-étiquette 4 qui est quant à lui essentiellement rigide (par exemple par collage direct sur l'extrémité du tronçon associé 2.1). On notera également, dans la zone de raccordement de la plaquette de liaison, la présence de deux saillies 12 venant en butée contre la plaquette de liaison 3 à la façon d'un étai lorsque le tronçon 2.2 est sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de ladite plaquette. Les deux saillies 12 sont ici réalisées sous forme d'une protubérance triangulaire, saillant sensiblement parallèlement aux ailes du profilé en U et du côté opposé aux ergots d'encliquetage. Ces saillies sont avantageuses, car elles procurent en outre un effet de raidisseur pour le premier 2.21 des segments concernés.As has been said above, it is advantageous to provide that the connection plate 3 is connected to the segment segment 2.2 by a flexible tab 11 giving a certain flexibility of articulation, unlike the connection of the label holder frame. 4 which is essentially rigid (for example by direct bonding to the end of the associated section 2.1). It will also be noted, in the connection zone of the connection plate, the presence of two projections 12 abutting against the connection plate 3 in the manner of a forestay when the section 2.2 is substantially perpendicular to the plane of said plate. The two projections 12 are here produced in the form of a triangular protuberance, projecting substantially parallel to the wings of the U-shaped profile and on the side opposite to the latching lugs. These projections are advantageous because they also provide a stiffening effect for the first 2.21 of the segments concerned.

La plaquette de liaison 3 présente des trous 13 servant au passage du moyen d'accrochage de la broche allongée, en particulier de la fourche permettant la mise en place de ladite broche sur un panneau à perforations. On distingue ainsi une paire de trous 13, ici doublée d'une paire supplémentaire de trous 13′ de façon à pouvoir s'adapter également à des broches doubles que l'on utilise parfois lorsque les produits suspendus sont plus lourds. A titre indicatif, l'entraxe des trous 13 est de l'ordre de 25 mm, tandis que celui des trous 13′ est de l'ordre de 50 mm. Les figures 6 et 7 décrites ci-après permettront de bien faire comprendre comment le support d'étiquetage de l'invention est mis en place sur une broche allongée du type à fourche. La plaquette de liaison 3 présente également un trou central 14 servant au passage de la tige de la broche allongée, en particulier de la tige d'une broche comportant un étrier pour la mise en place de ladite broche sur un profilé. De préférence, la zone du trou 5 central 14 est étoilée et de conformation conique, de façon à exercer un effet de freinage sur la tige de la broche allongée dans le sens du dégagement du support d'étiquetage. Les figures 8 et 9 décrites ci-après permettront de bien comprendre comment le support d'étiquetage peut être aisément mis en place sur une broche allongée du type à étrier.The connecting plate 3 has holes 13 used for the passage of the hooking means of the elongated spindle, in particular of the fork allowing the positioning of said spindle on a perforated panel. A pair of holes 13 is thus distinguished, here doubled with an additional pair of holes 13 ′ so as to also be able to adapt to double pins which are sometimes used when the suspended products are heavier. As an indication, the spacing of the holes 13 is of the order of 25 mm, while that of the holes 13 ′ is of the order of 50 mm. FIGS. 6 and 7 described below will make it possible to clearly understand how the labeling support of the invention is put in place on an elongated spindle of the fork type. The connecting plate 3 also has a central hole 14 serving for the passage of the rod of the elongated spindle, in particular of the rod of a spindle comprising a stirrup for the positioning of said spindle on a profile. Preferably, the zone of the central hole 14 is star-shaped and of conical conformation, so as to exert a braking effect on the rod of the elongated spindle in the direction of release of the labeling support. Figures 8 and 9 described below will help to understand how the labeling support can be easily implemented on an elongated pin of the caliper type.

La plaquette de liaison 3 présente ici en outre une languette flexible 15, dont le bord libre présente une protubérance 16 pouvant coopérer avec l'étrier de la broche allongée en vue d'un verrouillage longitudinal du support dans le sens du dégagement dudit support, ainsi que cela est mieux visible sur la figure 8. Dans la pratique, la plaquette de liaison 3 présentera une découpe centrale 17 adjacente au bord libre 16 de la languette flexible 15, ladite découpe étant conformée pour laisser passer les deux tiges d'une broche double. La découpe centrale 17 définit en fait les trois bords libres de la languette flexible 15 qui est reliée à la plaquette de liaison 3 par un bord 18 formant charnière ; ladite découpe centrale définit également une fenêtre 19 présentant latéralement deux épaulements 20 au niveau du passage des tiges d'une broche double : la fenêtre est ici de forme sensiblement triangulaire, avec deux sommets de forme arrondie pour le passage des tiges d'une broche double, les épaulements 20 participant au maintien de l'ensemble.The connection plate 3 here also has a flexible tongue 15, the free edge of which has a protuberance 16 which can cooperate with the stirrup of the elongated spindle for a longitudinal locking of the support in the direction of release of said support, thus that this is better visible in Figure 8. In practice, the connecting plate 3 will have a central cutout 17 adjacent to the free edge 16 of the flexible tongue 15, said cutout being shaped to allow the two rods of a double pin to pass through. . The central cutout 17 in fact defines the three free edges of the flexible tongue 15 which is connected to the connection plate 3 by an edge 18 forming a hinge; said central cutout also defines a window 19 having laterally two shoulders 20 at the level of the passage of the rods of a double pin: the window is here of substantially triangular shape, with two vertices of rounded form for the passage of the rods of a double pin , the shoulders 20 participating in maintaining the assembly.

Les figures 6 et 7 illustrent la zone d'accrochage d'une broche à fourche sur un panneau à perforations, ladite broche étant surmontée d'un support d'étiquetage conforme à l'invention. On distingue ainsi une broche 100 comportant, de façon classique, une tige 101 permettant de suspendre des objets 50, un retour arrière 102, et une fourche d'accrochage 103 à deux branches. Une broche de ce type peut être aisément mise en place par insertion de sa fourche dans deux trous d'un panneau 150 à perforations. En l'espèce, un support d'étiquetage conforme à l'invention a été mis en place sur la broche allongée 100 avant l'accrochage de celle-ci sur le panneau à perforations 150, en faisant passer les deux branches de la fourche 103 de ladite broche dans les trous associés 13 de la plaquette de liaison 3. Une fois l'ensemble accroché sur le panneau à perforations, le support d'étiquetage est parfaitement maintenu au-dessus de la tige de suspension 101, et ne peut en aucun cas gêner la préhension des objets 50. On notera que, dans cette position, le corps du support est maintenu sensiblement horizontalement grâce aux saillies 12 formant étai, dont les extrémités sont alors en butée contre la plaquette de liaison 3.Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the attachment area of a fork pin on a perforated panel, said pin being surmounted by a labeling support according to the invention. There is thus a spindle 100 comprising, in a conventional manner, a rod 101 making it possible to suspend objects 50, a rear return 102, and a hooking fork 103 with two branches. A spindle of this type can be easily installed by inserting its fork into two holes in a perforated panel 150. In this case, a labeling support in accordance with the invention was put in place on the elongated spindle 100 before it was hooked onto the perforated panel 150, by passing the two branches of the fork 103 of said pin in the associated holes 13 of the connection plate 3. Once the assembly is hung on the perforation panel, the labeling support is perfectly maintained above the hanging rod 101, and can in no way in case obstructing the gripping of the objects 50. It will be noted that, in this position, the body of the support is maintained substantially horizontally thanks to the projections 12 forming a forestay, the ends of which are then in abutment against the connection plate 3.

Les figures 8 et 9 illustrent de la même façon la zone d'accrochage d'une broche à étrier sur un profilé, ladite broche étant surmontée d'un support d'étiquetage conforme à l'invention. On distingue ainsi une broche 200, comportant une tige 201 pour l'accrochage d'objets 50, un coude arrière 202, et un étrier de fixation 203, ledit étrier étant en général soudé en arrière de la broche sur le coude arrière de celle-ci, et étant conformé à la section du profilé 250 supportant l'ensemble. Pour ce type de broche, le support d'étiquetage est mis en place en enfilant la plaquette de liaison 3 sur la tige d'accrochage 201, celle-ci passant alors par le trou étoilé 14. La structure qui est illustrée ici permet de réaliser aisément un double verrouillage longitudinal du support dans le sens du dégagement de celui-ci : la conformation du trou étoilé 14 procure déjà un effet de freinage, et on obtient en plus un verrouillage positif par le rebord 16 de la languette flexible 15, ledit rebord formant une butée pour la portion inférieure de l'étrier 203 de la broche allongée. Une fois le support d'étiquetage mis en place sur la broche allongée 200, l'ensemble est aisément positionné sur le profilé 250, qui est ici de section rectangulaire (ce qui ne constitue naturellement qu'un exemple).Figures 8 and 9 illustrate in the same way the attachment zone of a stirrup pin on a profile, said pin being surmounted by a labeling support according to the invention. A spindle 200 is thus distinguished, comprising a rod 201 for attaching objects 50, a rear elbow 202, and a fixing bracket 203, said bracket being generally welded behind the spindle to the rear elbow thereof. ci, and being conformed to the section of the profile 250 supporting the assembly. For this type of spindle, the labeling support is put in place by threading the connection plate 3 onto the attachment rod 201, the latter then passing through the star hole 14. The structure which is illustrated here makes it possible to produce easily a double longitudinal locking of the support in the direction of its release: the conformation of the star hole 14 already provides a braking effect, and in addition a positive locking is obtained by the flange 16 of the flexible tongue 15, said flange forming a stop for the lower portion of the stirrup 203 of the elongated pin. Once the labeling support has been placed on the elongated spindle 200, the assembly is easily positioned on the profile 250, which is here of rectangular section (which is of course only an example).

Dans certains cas, il peut s'avérer intéressant de prévoir que la plaquette de liaison et/ou le cadre porte-étiquette sont fixés par encliquetage aux extrémités du corps allongé du support d'étiquetage.In some cases, it may be advantageous to provide that the connection plate and / or the label holder frame are fixed by snap-fastening to the ends of the elongated body of the labeling support.

Une telle possibilité est illustrée aux figures 10 et 11.Such a possibility is illustrated in Figures 10 and 11.

Sur la figure 10, la plaquette de liaison 3 présente un étrier rigide 24 saillant d'une face de ladite plaquette, ledit étrier présentant latéralement deux lumières allongées 26. Dans ce cas, l'extrémité adjacente du tronçon associé 2.2 présente deux tétons latéraux 27 pouvant s'engager dans les lumières associées 26 de l'étrier 24 (un léger pincement de l'extrémité du tronçon suffit pour réaliser l'encliquetage). Un raccordement analogue est prévu pour le cadre porte-étiquette 4 : ce cadre présente en effet deux pattes rigides 21 munies de lumières 25 dans lesquelles peuvent s'engager des tétons latéraux associés 22 prévus en extrémité du tronçon 2.1. On notera ici la présence d'une facette inclinée 40 en cette extrémité du tronçon, permettant un véritable basculement du' cadre porte-étiquette 4, notamment en cas d'accrochage par la main d'une personne qui vient saisir un objet.In FIG. 10, the connecting plate 3 has a rigid stirrup 24 projecting from one face of said wafer, said stirrup having two elongated slots laterally 26. In this case, the adjacent end of the associated section 2.2 has two lateral studs 27 able to engage in the associated slots 26 of the stirrup 24 (a slight pinching of the end of the section is sufficient to achieve the snap-fastening). A similar connection is provided for the label holder frame 4: this frame indeed has two rigid tabs 21 provided with openings 25 in which can be associated associated lateral pins 22 provided at the end of the section 2.1. Note here the presence of an inclined facet 40 at this end of the section, allowing a true tilting of the label holder frame 4, in particular in the event of attachment by the hand of a person who comes to grasp an object.

Sur la figure 11, on retrouve une conception analogue pour le raccordement de la plaquette de liaison 3 à l'extrémité adjacente du tronçon 2.2 : il est prévu un étrier avec des faces latérales 30 munies de lumières 32 pour recevoir des tétons latéraux 33 de l'extrémité 2.21 du tronçon 2.2 ; on notera la présence d'un fond 31 formant butée pour cette extrémité. La plaquette de liaison 3 se présente cependant ici sous la forme d'un ensemble prolongé inférieurement par quatre pattes 35, 37 permettant un encliquetage direct sur un profilé rectangulaire 350 en pinçant l'extrémité du tronçon 2.21, ce qui est ici encore facilité par la présence d'une encoche 34. Ceci permet un verrouillage longitudinal du support d'étiquetage dans le sens du dégagement de celui-ci. Ces pattes laissent ainsi le passage libre et aisé d'une tige de broche allongée comportant comme la tige 200 précitée un étrier pour la mise en place de ladite broche sur ledit profilé. On notera par ailleurs la présence d'ergots 36 en extrémité des pattes 35, pour assurer l'encliquetage sur le profile 350, et d'un évidement circulaire 38 pour donner plus de souplesse en torsion à l'ensemble constituant la plaquette de liaison 3.In FIG. 11, we find a similar design for the connection of the connection plate 3 to the adjacent end of the section 2.2: a stirrup is provided with lateral faces 30 provided with lights 32 to receive lateral pins 33 of the 'end 2.21 of section 2.2; note the presence of a bottom 31 forming a stop for this end. The connecting plate 3 is however here in the form of an assembly extended below by four tabs 35, 37 allowing a direct snap-fastening on a rectangular profile 350 by pinching the end of the section 2.21, which is here again facilitated by the presence of a notch 34. This allows a longitudinal locking of the labeling support in the direction of release thereof. These tabs thus leave the free and easy passage of an elongated spindle rod comprising, like the aforementioned rod 200, a stirrup for the positioning of said spindle on said profile. Note also the presence of lugs 36 at the end of the lugs 35, to ensure the snap-fastening on the profile 350, and a circular recess 38 to give more flexibility in torsion to the assembly constituting the connection plate 3 .

Les variantes des figures 10 et 11 peuvent ainsi aisément être réalisées en une matière plastique relativement rigide, telle qu'un polypropylène.The variants of Figures 10 and 11 can thus easily be made of a relatively rigid plastic, such as polypropylene.

L'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit, mais englobe au contraire toute variante reprenant, avec des moyens équivalents, les caractéristiques essentielles figurant aux revendications. Par exemple, la section des tronçons constituant le corps allongé du support d'étiquetage pourra être éventuellement complétée par des ailes inférieures, permettant d'éviter tout débattement latéral par rapport à la tige de la broche allongée : dans la pratique, on pourra par exemple prévoir une section transversale en forme de H pour les deux premiers segments du tronçon à segments. Il est également possible d'évider la base des profilés constituant le corps allongé du support d'étiquetage avec des trous, de façon à diminuer la quantité de matière utilisée, et de ce fait le coût de production dudit support : de tels évidements pourront être répartis longitudinalement, et prévus de façon analogue à ceux qui sont visibles sur les figures 2 et 3, ces derniers ne correspondant ici qu'au passage d'un organe de moulage associé à la conformation des ergots d'encliquetage.The invention is in no way limited to the embodiment which has just been described, but on the contrary includes any variant incorporating, with equivalent means, the essential characteristics appearing in the claims. For example, the section of the sections constituting the elongated body of the labeling support could possibly be supplemented by lower wings, making it possible to avoid any lateral movement relative to the rod of the elongated spindle: in practice, for example, provide an H-shaped cross section for the first two segments of the segmented segment. It is also possible to hollow out the base of the profiles constituting the elongated body of the labeling support with holes, so as to reduce the amount of material used, and therefore the cost of production of said support: such recesses may be distributed longitudinally, and provided in a similar manner to those which are visible in FIGS. 2 and 3, the latter here corresponding only to the passage of a molding member associated with the conformation of the latching lugs.
