Description

La présente invention a pour objet un présentoir pour articles destinés à la vente conditionnés de préférence en boîtes de forme parallélépipédique, tels que cassettes, boîtes de cigarettes, de confiserie, de produits cosmétiques ou autres ; ainsi que le cadre destiné à recevoir un ou plusieurs présentoirs.The subject of the present invention is a display for articles intended for sale, preferably packaged in boxes of parallelepiped shape, such as cassettes, boxes of cigarettes, confectionery, cosmetic products or the like; as well as the frame intended to receive one or more displays.

Il est avantageux que les articles conditionnés en boîtes parallélépipédiques soient stockés en file les uns derrière les autres à la vue du public, que le premier article puisse être facilement retiré de la file et que le suivant se mette automatiquement à la première place. Il est également avantageux qu'un présentoir pour ce type d'articles soit le plus compact possible et puisse accueillir le plus grand nombre d'articles sans risque de les écraser ou les détériorer.It is advantageous that the articles packaged in parallelepiped boxes are stored in a line one behind the other in public view, that the first article can be easily removed from the line and that the next one is put automatically in the first place. It is also advantageous for a display for this type of article to be as compact as possible and to accommodate the greatest number of articles without the risk of crushing or damaging them.

Les documents FR-A-2 310 603 et FR-A-2 508 300 décrivent un présentoir comportant un rail support des produits sur lequel glisse un traîneau poussoir tiré vers l'avant par un ressort de traction accroché à l'avant du rail et à la partie inférieure du traîneau poussoir. Toutefois le traîneau poussoir de ce type de dispositif est encombrant et occupe sur le présentoir l'emplacement d'un, voire de plusieurs articles.The documents FR-A-2 310 603 and FR-A-2 508 300 describe a display unit comprising a product support rail on which slides a push sled pulled forward by a tension spring attached to the front of the rail and to the lower part of the push sled. However, the push sled of this type of device is bulky and occupies on the display the location of one or even several articles.

Les documents EP-A-454 586, EP-A-365 424 et FR-A- 2 617 385 décrivent des présentoirs dans lesquels le poussoir, compact et très court, est tiré vers l'avant par des moyens élastiques tournant autour de poulies fixées sur l'avant du support d'articles.The documents EP-A-454 586, EP-A-365 424 and FR-A-2 617 385 describe displays in which the pusher, compact and very short, is pulled forward by elastic means rotating around pulleys attached to the front of the article holder.

Le document EP-A-337 340 porte sur un présentoir comportant un poussoir poussé vers l'avant par une lame de ressort enroulée en spirale à l'arrière du poussoir. Le déroulement de la lame est parfois brutal et peut endommager les articles.The document EP-A-337 340 relates to a display comprising a pusher pushed forward by a leaf spring wound in a spiral at the rear of the pusher. The unwinding of the blade is sometimes brutal and can damage the articles.

Le présentoir qui fait l'objet du document FR-A-2 667 229 possède des traverses intermédiaires pourvues d'échancrures sur leur partie inférieure en vue de fixer lesdites traverses sur les bourrelets équipant deux éléments longitudinaux.The display unit which is the subject of document FR-A-2 667 229 has intermediate sleepers provided with notches on their lower part in order to fix said sleepers on the beads fitted to two longitudinal elements.

Tous ces présentoirs connus possèdent des poussoirs encombrants, ou des machineries compliquées à base de poulies de renvoi.All these known displays have bulky pushers, or complicated machinery based on return pulleys.

Le présentoir selon l'invention pallie ces inconvénients en offrant un emplacement maximal de présentation d'articles sur une file pour un encombrement minimal, grâce à un système dans lequel un moyen de traction appuie sur un poussoir, système qui occupe une faible longueur lorsque le présentoir est plein d'articles et qui pousse encore efficacement le dernier article en position de présentation et de préhension. A cet effet le présentoir selon l'invention met en oeuvre un moyen élastique de compression dont une extrémité est rendue solidaire de l'extrémité arrière du moyen de traction et dont l'extrémité avant s'appuie sur le poussoir.The display unit according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks by offering a maximum location for presenting articles on a line for a minimum size, thanks to a system in which a traction means presses on a pusher, a system which occupies a short length when the display is full of articles and which still effectively pushes the last article into presentation and gripping position. To this end, the display unit according to the invention uses an elastic compression means, one end of which is made integral with the rear end of the traction means and the front end of which rests on the pusher.

La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un présentoir distributeur d'articles destinés à la vente, comportant un support et un traîneau poussoir glissant sur le support, les articles étant rangés en file sur le support et étant poussés vers l'avant par le poussoir entraîné par un moyen élastique de traction, ledit présentoir se caractérisant essentiellement en ce que l'extrémité arrière du moyen élastique de traction est reliée à l'extrémité arrière du poussoir et en ce que ledit poussoir comporte un moyen de compression vers l'avant.The present invention thus relates to a display dispenser for articles intended for sale, comprising a support and a push sled sliding on the support, the articles being stored in file on the support being pushed forward by the pusher driven by an elastic traction means, said display being characterized essentially in that the rear end of the elastic traction means is connected to the rear end of the pusher and in that said pusher comprises forward compression means.

L'invention a également pour objet un cadre présentoir comportant un côté avant et un côté arrière de section profilée destiné à recevoir au moins un présentoir, ledit cadre se caractérisant essentiellement en ce que ce profilé a la forme d'un L majuscule tourné vers l'intérieur du cadre, et en ce que l'extrémité de sa branche horizontale est prolongée par une aile verticale pénétrant dans une gorge transversale creusée à la face inférieure du support du présentoir.The subject of the invention is also a display frame comprising a front side and a rear side of profiled section intended to receive at least one display, said frame being characterized essentially in that this profile has the shape of a capital L facing towards 'inside the frame, and in that the end of its horizontal branch is extended by a vertical wing penetrating into a transverse groove hollowed out on the underside of the support of the display.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

La référence aux plans horizontal et vertical sert à définir les positions relatives des différents éléments constitutifs du présentoir selon l'invention, ces plans correspondant à une position du présentoir et de son cadre support sur un plan horizontal.The reference to the horizontal and vertical planes serves to define the relative positions of the various constituent elements of the display unit according to the invention, these planes corresponding to a position of the display unit and of its support frame on a horizontal plane.

Si on se réfère aux figures 1 et 2 on peut voir qu'un support 1 d'un présentoir selon l'invention comprend un profilé de section transversale en forme de U dont la zone intérieure évidée 10, entre les deux parois latérales 11, permet le passage d'un moyen de traction, et qui comporte à son extrémité antérieure une paroi 19.If one refers to FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be seen that a support 1 of a display unit according to the invention comprises a U-shaped cross section profile whose hollowed-out inner zone 10, between the two side walls 11, allows the passage of a traction means, and which comprises at its anterior end a wall 19.

Chacune des parois latérales 11 comporte à son bord supérieur une aile 12 plate et horizontale, d'une certaine épaisseur, s' étendant vers l'extérieur, a l'extrémité de laquelle, à sa face inférieure, est pratiquée une feuillure créant deux faces horizontales 13 et 14 et deux faces verticales 15 et 16 en-dessous de la face horizontale supérieure 17 de l'aile 12.Each of the side walls 11 has at its upper edge a flat and horizontal wing 12 of a certain thickness, extending outwards, at the end of which, on its lower face, is formed a rebate creating two faces horizontal 13 and 14 and two vertical faces 15 and 16 below the upper horizontal face 17 of the wing 12.

La partie avant du support 1 comporte en extrémité et au-dessus de chacune des ailes 12 un plan incliné 18 en pente douce dont le point le plus haut est en extrémité du support 1, au-dessus de la paroi 19 d'extrémité.The front part of the support 1 comprises at the end and above each of the wings 12 an inclined plane 18 with a gentle slope, the highest point of which is at the end of the support 1, above the end wall 19.

Le fond 2 du support 1 est plat et peut comporter avantageusement des évidements 25 économisant la matière et évitant le dépôt de poussières, ainsi que des arcs-boutants, non représentés, joignant les branches 11 et le fond 2, pour rigidifier l'ensemble.The bottom 2 of the support 1 is flat and may advantageously include recesses 25 which save material and prevent the deposition of dust, as well as flying buttresses, not shown, joining the branches 11 and the bottom 2, to stiffen the assembly.

Si on se réfère également à la figure 3 on peut voir que la paroi 19 comporte à sa base une ouverture 20 dans laquelle s'étend vers l'extérieur, solidaire du fond 2 du support 1, un crochet 21 qui, en association avec un ergot 26 saillant vers le haut du fond 2, permet l'accrochage du moyen de traction, en l'occurrence un ressort à boudin 3. Cet accrochage est réalisé en couchant la spire 30 d'extrémité du ressort à boudin et en la tendant entre le crochet 21 et l'ergot 26, la distance séparant ces deux éléments étant sensiblement supérieure au diamètre intérieur de ladite spire.If we also refer to Figure 3 we can see that the wall 19 has at its base an opening 20 in which extends outwardly, integral with the bottom 2 of the support 1, a hook 21 which, in association with a lug 26 protruding upwards from the bottom 2, allows the attachment of the traction means, in this case a coil spring 3. This attachment is achieved by coating the turn 30 of the end of the coil spring and stretching it between the hook 21 and the lug 26, the distance separating these two elements being substantially greater than the inside diameter of said turn.

Si on se réfère maintenant aux figures 4, 5 et 6 on peut voir que selon un premier mode de réalisation un poussoir 4 selon l'invention comporte un corps 40 auquel est reliée une partie mobile 50.If we now refer to FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, it can be seen that according to a first embodiment, a pusher 4 according to the invention comprises a body 40 to which a movable part 50 is connected.

Le corps 40 comporte une plaque verticale 41 solidarisée à une embase horizontale 42 qui est ouverte vers le bas et présente un profil intérieur permettant son coulissement sur les bords du support 1. A cet effet sur au moins une partie de la longueur de l'embase 42, ses parois latérales 43 comportent chacune intérieurement deux feuillures créant trois faces horizontales 44, 45 et 46 et deux faces verticales 47 et 48, destinées à entrer en contact glissant avec respectivement les faces horizontales et verticales 17, 13, 14, 15 et 16 des ailes 12 du support 1. Ainsi maintenue la plaque verticale 41 peut se déplacer le long du support 1 tout en restant en position verticale.The body 40 comprises a vertical plate 41 secured to a horizontal base 42 which is open downwards and has an internal profile allowing it to slide on the edges of the support 1. For this purpose over at least part of the length of the base 42, its side walls 43 each have internally two rebates creating three horizontal faces 44, 45 and 46 and two vertical faces 47 and 48, intended to come into sliding contact with the horizontal and vertical faces 17, 13, 14, 15 and 16 respectively wings 12 of the support 1. Thus maintained the vertical plate 41 can move along the support 1 while remaining in a vertical position.

Un ergot 31, solidaire de l'embase 42 et positionné entre les parois verticales 43, permet l'accrochage du moyen de traction, en l'occurrence le ressort à boudin 3, par sa spire d'extrémité.A lug 31, integral with the base 42 and positioned between the vertical walls 43, allows the attachment of the traction means, in this case the coil spring 3, by its end turn.

D'autre part la plaque verticale 41 comporte sensiblement en son centre un logement cylindrique 49 pouvant contenir entièrement un moyen de compression, en l'occurrence un ressort à boudin 54.On the other hand, the vertical plate 41 comprises substantially in its center a cylindrical housing 49 which can entirely contain a compression means, in this case a coil spring 54.

La pièce mobile 50 comporte une plaque verticale 51 qui peut s'éloigner et se rapprocher de la plaque verticale 41 du corps 40, ce déplacement étant guidé par au moins une tige horizontale 52, solidaire de la plaque verticale 51, qui traverse perpendiculairement la plaque verticale 41, et dont l'extrémité présente un renflement 53 la retenant prisonnière.The moving part 50 comprises a vertical plate 51 which can move away from and approach the vertical plate 41 of the body 40, this movement being guided by at least one horizontal rod 52, integral with the vertical plate 51, which passes perpendicularly through the plate vertical 41, and the end of which has a bulge 53 holding it captive.

La plaque verticale 51 comporte en regard de la cavité cylindrique 49 de la plaque verticale 41 un logement cylindrique 55 qui abrite l'extrémité du ressort à boudin 54.The vertical plate 51 comprises, opposite the cylindrical cavity 49 of the vertical plate 41, a cylindrical housing 55 which houses the end of the coil spring 54.

La plaque verticale 51 comporte également une embase horizontale 56 présentant un profilé intérieur qui lui permet de coulisser sur les ailes 12 du support 1, ce profilé comportant à cet effet une face horizontale 57 et une face verticale 58 entrant en contact glissant avec les faces horizontale et verticale respectivement 13 et 15.The vertical plate 51 also includes a horizontal base 56 having an internal profile which allows it to slide on the wings 12 of the support 1, this profile having for this purpose a horizontal face 57 and a vertical face 58 coming into sliding contact with the horizontal faces. and vertical 13 and 15 respectively.

Ainsi lorsqu'aucune pression n'est exercée sur la plaque verticale 51 les renflements d'extrémité 53 des tiges 52 viennent en butée contre la paroi extérieure de la plaque verticale 41 (figure 5).Thus, when no pressure is exerted on the vertical plate 51, the end bulges 53 of the rods 52 abut against the outer wall of the vertical plate 41 (FIG. 5).

Par contre lorsqu'une pression suffisante est exercée sur la plaque 51, celle-ci vient au contact de la plaque 41, le ressort 54 pénétrant entièrement dans la cavité cylindrique 55 (figure 6).By cons when sufficient pressure is exerted on the plate 51, it comes into contact with the plate 41, the spring 54 fully penetrating into the cylindrical cavity 55 (Figure 6).

Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 7 on peut voir qu'un présentoir selon l'invention comprend un support 1 positionné dans un cadre 6 comportant deux barres transversales parallèles 60 et 61 de section sensiblement en forme de L, disposées à distance l'une de l'autre, les branches horizontales 62 et 63 en regard, plusieurs supports 1 pouvant être placés côte-à-côte dans le cadre 6.Referring now to FIG. 7, it can be seen that a display unit according to the invention comprises a support 1 positioned in a frame 6 comprising two parallel transverse bars 60 and 61 of substantially L-shaped section, arranged at a distance from the one from the other, the horizontal branches 62 and 63 facing each other, several supports 1 that can be placed side by side in the frame 6.

Les barres transversales 60 et 61 sont coupées à dimensions en onglet et assemblées l'une à l'autre par leurs extrémités coupées au moyen de traverses, non représentées, l'assemblage étant réalisé à l'aide d'équerres plates dont on insère chacune des branches dans des rainures 60' et 61' ménagées dans les barres 60 et 61 à leur partie inférieure.The transverse bars 60 and 61 are cut to miter dimensions and assembled to one another by their ends cut by means of crosspieces, not shown, the assembly being carried out using flat brackets each of which is inserted. branches in grooves 60 'and 61' formed in the bars 60 and 61 at their lower part.

L'assujettissement d'un support 1 sur les barres transversales 60 et 61 est réalisé par encliquetage sur les branches horizontales 62 et 63 et entre les branches verticales 64 et 65.The securing of a support 1 on the transverse bars 60 and 61 is achieved by snap-fastening on the horizontal branches 62 and 63 and between the vertical branches 64 and 65.

Le support 1 comporte à cet effet, non loin de chacune de ses extrémités avant et arrière, des fentes transversales 22 et 23 pratiquées dans le fond 2, le bord intérieur 24 de la fente avant 22 étant prolongé vers le bas. Dans les fentes 22 et 23 sont introduites les ailes verticales 66 et 67, de faible hauteur, qui prolongent les branches horizontales 62 et 63 à leur extrémité interne.The support 1 has for this purpose, not far from each of its front and rear ends, transverse slots 22 and 23 formed in the bottom 2, the inner edge 24 of the front slot 22 being extended downwards. In the slots 22 and 23 are introduced the vertical wings 66 and 67, of low height, which extend the horizontal branches 62 and 63 at their internal end.

Le support 1 comporte également, à la base de sa paroi antérieure 19, des ergots 19' qui prennent place sous une plaque verticale 69, réalisée par exemple en plexiglas, s'intercalant entre la paroi 19 et la branche verticale 65 de la barre transversale 61.The support 1 also comprises, at the base of its front wall 19, lugs 19 'which take place under a vertical plate 69, made for example of plexiglass, interposed between the wall 19 and the vertical branch 65 of the transverse bar 61.

Afin d'assurer le blocage du support 1 dans le cadre 6, un bloc de mousse élastique 68 est intercalé entre la branche verticale 64 et l'arrière du support 1.To block the support 1 in the frame 6, a block of elastic foam 68 is interposed between the vertical branch 64 and the rear of the support 1.

Cette figure permet également de comprendre le fonctionnement du dispositif selon l'invention : les objets 7 sont placés en file sur les faces 17 des ailes 12 du support 1, où ils sont comprimés entre la plaque verticale 69 et la plaque verticale 51 du poussoir 4, sous l'effet du ressort à boudin 3.This figure also makes it possible to understand the operation of the device according to the invention: the objects 7 are placed in file on the faces 17 of the wings 12 of the support 1, where they are compressed between the vertical plate 69 and the vertical plate 51 of the pusher 4 , under the effect of the coil spring 3.

Sous l'action de cette poussée, le premier objet 7, qui est visible à travers la plaque verticale 69, et du fait de la présence du plan incliné 18, est légèrement soulevé par rapport aux autres objets 7, ce qui facilite sa préhension.Under the action of this thrust, the first object 7, which is visible through the vertical plate 69, and due to the presence of the inclined plane 18, is slightly raised relative to the other objects 7, which facilitates its gripping.

Lorsque le ressort à boudin 3 est en compression maximum, ou presque, le corps 40 du poussoir 4 est arrêté, les parois 11 du support 1 comportant à cet effet des butées 11'. Il ne reste alors sur le support 1 qu'un ou plusieurs objets 7, suivant leur épaisseur, et la poussée de ces objets 7 vers la plaque verticale 69 est assurée par le ressort à boudin 54.When the coil spring 3 is in maximum compression, or almost, the body 40 of the pusher 4 is stopped, the walls 11 of the support 1 having for this purpose stops 11 '. Only one or more objects 7 then remain on the support 1, depending on their thickness, and the thrust of these objects 7 towards the vertical plate 69 is ensured by the coil spring 54.

Avantageusement la barre transversale avant 61 comporte un logement 61' dans lequel est glissé un bandeau, non représenté, portant par exemple des informations concernant les articles disposés sur le présentoir.Advantageously, the front crossbar 61 has a housing 61 'in which a strip is slid, not shown, for example carrying information concerning the articles placed on the display.

Si on se réfère maintenant aux figures 8, 9 et 10, on peut voir un second mode de réalisation d'un poussoir mobile 9, où le moyen de traction 8, est concentrique au ressort de compression 96, dont le diamètre est supérieur à l'encombrement du moyen de traction 8 de façon qu'ils ne puissent venir en contact l'un avec l'autre et gêner leurs déplacement longitudinaux relatifs.If we now refer to Figures 8, 9 and 10, we can see a second embodiment of a movable plunger 9, where the traction means 8, is concentric with the compression spring 96, whose diameter is greater than l 'size of the traction means 8 so that they can not come into contact with each other and interfere with their relative longitudinal movement.

Les extrémités arrière 80 et 90 respectivement du moyen de traction 8 et du ressort de compression 96 sont solidarisées à une coupelle 81 comportant des moyens de guidages, non visibles sur la figure, lui permettant de coulisser sur le support 1.The rear ends 80 and 90 respectively of the traction means 8 and of the compression spring 96 are secured to a cup 81 comprising guide means, not visible in the figure, allowing it to slide on the support 1.

La coupelle 81 présente une gorge circulaire interne 84 créée par deux collerettes concentriques 82 et 83, destinée à loger l'extrémité du ressort de compression 96. La collerette interne 82 est avantageusement plus longue de façon à guider le ressort 96 en position de compression externe en lui évitant toute déformation transversale. Elle permet en outre un positionnement exact du moyen de traction 8.The cup 81 has an internal circular groove 84 created by two concentric flanges 82 and 83, intended to accommodate the end of the compression spring 96. The internal flange 82 is advantageously longer so as to guide the spring 96 in the external compression position avoiding any transverse deformation. It also allows exact positioning of the traction means 8.

La partie antérieure 91 du poussoir 9 comprend une plaquette 91' possédant sur sa partie inférieure des moyens de guidage semblables à ceux du poussoir 4 du premier mode de réalisation, permettant son glissement sur le support 1.The front part 91 of the pusher 9 comprises a plate 91 ′ having on its lower part guide means similar to those of the pusher 4 of the first embodiment, allowing it to slide on the support 1.

La partie inférieure centrale de la plaquette 91' du poussoir 9 s'étend vers le bas entre les branches 11 du support 1 et comporte une ouverture 92 d'un diamètre supérieur au diamètre du moyen de traction 8 qui la traverse, mais inférieur au diamètre du ressort de compression 96 qui y prend appui. L'ouverture 92 est bordée d'une collerette 93 créant avec une collerette 94 de diamètre plus grand une gorge circulaire 95 où s'insère le moyen de compression 96.The central lower part of the plate 91 ′ of the pusher 9 extends downward between the branches 11 of the support 1 and has an opening 92 with a diameter greater than the diameter of the traction means 8 which passes through it, but less than the diameter of the compression spring 96 which bears thereon. The opening 92 is bordered by a collar 93 creating with a collar 94 of larger diameter a circular groove 95 into which the compression means 96 is inserted.

Le diamètre du ressort de compression 96 est suffisamment faible pour que le point d'ancrage du moyen de traction 8 soit suffisamment bas, afin que celui-ci ne dépasse pas la face supérieure du support 1, sur laquelle glissent les articles disposés sur le support 1.The diameter of the compression spring 96 is sufficiently small so that the anchoring point of the traction means 8 is sufficiently low, so that it does not exceed not the upper face of the support 1, on which the articles disposed on the support 1 slide.

Le moyen de traction mis en oeuvre dans le présentoir selon l'invention est de préférence constitué d'un ressort à boudin à spires jointives présentant une faible longueur au repos et pouvant offrir une élongation conséquente en deçà de la limite d'élasticité, sous une tension raisonnable n'endommageant pas les articles par compression les uns contre les autres. Toutefois une bande élastique en élastomère ou en caoutchouc peut également convenir.The traction means used in the display unit according to the invention preferably consists of a coil spring with contiguous turns having a short length at rest and being able to offer a substantial elongation below the elastic limit, under a reasonable tension not damaging the articles by compression against each other. However, an elastic band made of elastomer or rubber may also be suitable.

Les coefficients d'élasticité des moyens de traction et de compression doivent être tels que :

  • d'une part lorsque le support est rempli d'articles, la force de traction est supérieure à la force de compression et réduit le moyen de compression à sa longueur minimale,
  • d'autre part lorsque le support est presque vide et que le moyen de traction est au repos, le moyen de compression pousse le dernier article vers l'avant du présentoir.
The elasticity coefficients of the means of traction and compression must be such that:
  • on the one hand when the support is filled with articles, the tensile force is greater than the compression force and reduces the compression means to its minimum length,
  • on the other hand when the support is almost empty and the traction means is at rest, the compression means pushes the last article towards the front of the display.

Il va de soi que la présente invention ne saurait être limitée à la description qui précède de plusieurs de ses modes de réalisation, susceptibles de subir un certain nombre de modifications sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.It goes without saying that the present invention cannot be limited to the foregoing description of several of its embodiments, liable to undergo a certain number of modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
