Description

L'invention concerne une pièce décorative pour la promotion d'évènements, plus précisément des évènements plurinationaux, multirégionaux ou analogues et plus particulièrement pour la célébration et le témoignage postérieur de celle-ci en tant que souvenir du changement de monnaie dans l'Union européenne lors de l'entré en vigueur de l'«EURO».The invention relates to a decorative piece for the promotion of events, more specifically multi-national, multi-regional or similar events and more particularly for the celebration and the subsequent testimony thereof as a souvenir of the change of currency in the European Union. at the entry into force of the "EURO".

Bien que l'objet de l'invention soit conçu pour cette célébration spéciale et particulière, il peut également s'utiliser lors de la célébration de tout autre événement ayant des caractéristiques analogues à la précédente et surtout en tenant compte du fait que l'objet peut être fabriqué en tout genre de dimensions. Il peut y avoir des reproductions à petite échelle pour tout autre utilisation en servant aussi de témoignage et souvenir pour les générations futures qui ne sont pas présentes lors de la célébration ou qui étant donné leur jeune âge ne pourront pas s'en souvenir.Although the object of the invention is designed for this special and special celebration, it can also be used when celebrating any other event with similar characteristics to the previous one and especially taking into account that the object can be made in any kind of dimensions. There may be small-scale reproductions for any other use as well as a testimony and remembrance for future generations who are not present at the celebration or who, given their young age, can not remember it.

La représentation objet de l'invention peut être fabriquée en matériels artisanaux ou semi-artisanaux, céramiques, bois, plastiques, plâtres, métaux, l'aspect et le coût de celui-ci dépendant de sa destination après son acquisition.The representation object of the invention can be manufactured in artisanal or semi-artisanal materials, ceramics, wood, plastics, plaster, metals, the appearance and the cost of it depending on its destination after its acquisition.

L'objet de l'invention se rapporte à la situation liée à l'introduction de la monnaie unique, en particulier à tous les pays de l'Union européenne. À partir d'une date déterminée tous les pays de l'union n'auront plus leur monnaie propre; ainsi l'introduction de la monnaie unique produira un sentiment de nostalgie chez leurs citoyens. De ce fait tous les destinataires du message devraient être tous les pays de l'Union européenne, l'émetteur étant une entité européenne et non pas le représentant légal du gouvernement d'un seul pays.The subject of the invention relates to the situation related to the introduction of the single currency, in particular to all the countries of the European Union. From a fixed date all the countries of the union will no longer have their own currency; thus the introduction of the single currency will produce a feeling of nostalgia among their citizens. As a result, all recipients of message should be all countries of the European Union, the issuer being a European entity and not the legal representative of the government of a single country.

L'objet de la commémoration, selon l'invention, est un moulin à vent, représentant la solidité, la tradition, l'économie d'énergie, la non-pollution puisqu'il fonctionne par énergie éolienne, donnant ainsi les mêmes chances à tous les membres.The object of the commemoration, according to the invention, is a windmill, representing the solidity, the tradition, the energy saving, the non-pollution since it works by wind energy, thus giving the same chances to all members.

Le nombre d'ailes du moulin sera le même que celui des pays représentés, c'est-à-dire actuellement quinze. Chaque aile sera constituée par le mât et le drapeau de chaque pays, une reproduction de la monnaie nationale pouvant être fixée ou non et chaque mât aura des moyens pour le guidage et le glissement d'un organe de traction, bande ou cordon, qui sera uni par son extrémité intérieure à un billet de banque plié de la nouvelle monnaie, monté sur la couronne centrale des ailes (drapeaux).The number of wings of the mill will be the same as that of the countries represented, that is to say currently fifteen. Each wing will be constituted by the mast and flag of each country, a reproduction of the national currency may be fixed or not and each mast will have means for guiding and sliding a traction member, band or cord, which will be united by its inner end to a folded banknote of the new currency, mounted on the central crown of the wings (flags).

Le billet plié de la nouvelle monnaie, selon l'invention, qui en position pliée montrera ou reproduira l'emblème de l'union des pays concernés et, en tirant sur les bandes ou les cordons passant par chaque mât, se déplie en montrant la nouvelle monnaie. De manière symbolique, un représentant, selon le cas, réel ou figuré, de chaque pays, portant éventuellement le costume national, pourrait tirer sur chacune des bandes en ouvrant à l'unisson, de façon synchronisée, successive et progressive la nouvelle monnaie. La monnaie nationale est alors récupérée ou bien celle-ci étant bougée ou non dans un mode démonstratif, en fonction de la construction de l'objet en question, en conservant les drapeaux sur les ailes en tant que signes distinctifs de chaque pays et en les unifiant tous dans la nouvelle ère économique centralement symbolisée.The folded note of the new coin, according to the invention, which in the folded position will show or reproduce the emblem of the union of the countries concerned and, by pulling on the strips or cords passing through each mast, unfolds showing the new currency. In a symbolic way, a representative, as the case may be, real or figurative, of each country, possibly wearing the national costume, could shoot at each of the bands by opening in unison, in a synchronized, successive and progressive way the new currency. The national currency is then recovered or it is moved or not in a demonstrative mode, depending on the construction of the object in question, keeping the flags on the wings as distinctive signs of each country and in unifying all in the new centrally symbolized economic era.

ANTÉCÉDENTS DE L'INVENTION.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Selon les caractéristiques de l'objet de l'invention et sa particularité commémorative circonstancielle, l'existence d'antécédents relatifs à celle-ci est peu probable.Depending on the characteristics of the object of the invention and its circumstantial commemorative peculiarity, the existence of antecedents relating to it is unlikely.

Ainsi il n'existe aucun antécédent commercial ou déposé comme brevet lors des vérifications effectuées et pour ce qui concerne les structures ou mécanismes des moulins à vent, les antécédents n'affectent pas le caractère de base de cet objet qui peut être fait comme une reproduction d'un prototype générique en une matière quelconque de celles référées, à grandeur nature ou à petite échelle comme objet de souvenir ou cadeau.Thus there is no commercial antecedent or filed as a patent during the verifications carried out and as regards the structures or mechanisms of the windmills, the antecedents do not affect the basic character of this object which can be done as a reproduction a generic prototype in any material of those referred, life-size or small scale as an object of memory or gift.

ACTIVITÉ INVENTIVEINVENTIVE ACTIVITY

Le fait inventif est la conjugaison des caractéristiques d'un moulin à vent avec d'autres éléments ou moyens les ailes ayant été remplacées par d'autres éléments n'ayant pas pour mission de capter le vent pour actionner les mécanismes du moulin. Une mécanique inversée et simple permet ou non de faire tourner les ailes, celles-ci étant remplacées par des symboles appropriés sur lesquels on a incorporé d'autres éléments symboliques, et des moyens opérationnels pour agir sur un troisième et principal symbole central qui représente la conjugaison de tous ceux-ci.The inventive fact is the combination of the characteristics of a windmill with other elements or means the wings having been replaced by other elements not having the mission of capturing the wind to actuate the mechanisms of the mill. An inverted and simple mechanism allows or not to rotate the wings, which are replaced by appropriate symbols on which other symbolic elements have been incorporated, and operational means to act on a third and main central symbol representing the conjugation of all these.

DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Lors de l'exposé du développement de l'invention, son objet est basé sur un moulin à vent, ou une reproduction de celui-ci, à n'importe quelle dimension et en tout matériel approprié, ayant son arbre de rotation correspondant, libre ou mécanisé. Celui-ci comporte extérieurement le moyeu ou couronne porteuse des ailes, et à la place de celles-ci on monte le même nombre de mâts, dans ce cas-ci quinze, supportant les drapeaux de chacun des pays impliqués dans l'événement; sur la surface frontale est fixée la représentation ou reproduction pliée d'un billet de la monnaie commune commémorée au moyen d'un pliage multiple.When discussing the development of the invention, its object is based on a windmill, or a reproduction thereof, of any size and in any suitable material, having its corresponding rotating shaft, free or mechanized. It has on the outside the hub or crown carrying the wings, and instead of these one raises the same number of masts, in this case fifteen, supporting the flags of each country involved in the event; on the front surface is fixed the folded representation or reproduction of a commemorated common currency note by means of multiple folding.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est que la surface visible du billet plié montre ou reproduit le symbole commun des pays intégrés, dans ce cas-ci des pays communautaires et une fois déplié, il montre la reproduction de la dite monnaie commune, à une échelle proportionnelle de l'objet.Another aspect of the invention is that the visible surface of the folded note shows or reproduces the common symbol of the integrated countries, in this case of the Community countries and once unfolded, it shows the reproduction of the said common currency at a Proportional scale of the object.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est qu'à chacun des plis, le nombre de celui-ci étant égal à celui des ailes-drapeaux, est fixé totalement ou partiellement l'extrémité d'un organe de traction, bande ou cordon, passé et guidé à travers de moyens incorporés à chaque mât -ailes- du moulin, celui-ci s'étendant par l'extrémité opposée pour être manié ou manipulé afin de pouvoir tirer sur lui d'une manière synchronisée ou successive pour déplier le billet représentatif de la monnaie commune.Another aspect of the invention is that at each of the plies, the number thereof being equal to that of the flange-wings, is totally or partially fixed the end of a traction member, band or cord, passed and guided through means incorporated in each mast-wings-of the mill, the latter extending through the opposite end to be handled or manipulated in order to be able to pull on it in a synchronized or successive manner to unfold the representative ticket of the common currency.

Un autre aspect est que, chaque mât comporte un support contenant la reproduction de la monnaie nationale du pays représenté par son drapeau pour qu'au moment de tirer sur la bande ou cordon, celui-ci puisse bouger ou se détacher ou simplement rester fixe.Another aspect is that each mast has a support containing the reproduction of the national currency of the country represented by its flag so that when pulling on the band or cord, it can move or detach or just stay fixed.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est que chaque mât comporte une petite poulie pour le passage et le guidage de la bande ou cordon de traction, et une autre comme support de la monnaie nationale pour la bouger lorsque l'on tire sur elle.Another aspect of the invention is that each mast has a small pulley for the passage and guiding of the drawstring or pull cord, and another for supporting the national currency to move it when pulling on it.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est que ledit support de la monnaie nationale peut être un simple moyen de pincement, qui au moment de tirer sur la monnaie, la détache pour donner la sensation de la récupérer, sans que cela empêche son replacement à sa place pour des opérations successives. Ledit support peut également être un support fixe.Another aspect of the invention is that said support of the national currency can be a simple means of pinching, which at the moment of drawing the currency, detaches it to give the sensation of recovering it, without this preventing its replacement to its place for successive operations. Said support can also be a fixed support.
