Description

La présente invention concerne un presentoir de magasin conformément au préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a shop display in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.

Il est connu d'utiliser des dispositifs de rappel, vers l'avant, d'objets ou d'articles suspendus aux broches de présentoirs, en vue de faciliter leur identification et leur prélèvement par les acheteurs. Il s'agit généralement de dispositifs à ressort, travaillant à la compression, guidés par les broches.It is known to use reminder devices, forwards, of objects or articles suspended from display pins, in order to facilitate their identification and removal by buyers. They are generally spring devices, working under compression, guided by the pins.

On connaît déjà des dispositifs de rappel parmi lesquels nous pouvons citer ceux décrits dans les brevets ou demandes de brevet suivants:

  • - demande de brevet français FR-A-2 570 151 ayant pour objet un presentoir de magasin de conditionnements de produits, comprenant essentiellement un ressort constitué alternativement de spires de deux diamètres différents, guidé par une ou plusieurs tiges insérées entre les spires de grand diamètre et les spires de petit diamètre et supportant les articles rappelés vers l'avant.
  • - brevet français n° FR-A-2 527 913 concernant un presentoir de magasin permettant, par l'intermédiaire d'une plaquette coulissante verticale, la mise en avant d'articles suspendus à une broche simple ou à des broches doubles; chaque broche comporte un élément de compression du type ressort, empilé et coulissant librement sur celle ci, dont l'extrémité arrière prend appui sur une bague préalablement enfilée sur chaque broche et dont l'extrémité avant s'encastre dans un coulisseau monté sur la broche et solidaire de la plaquette servant de poussoir.
  • - brevet américain US-A-4 475 658 ayant pour objet un presentoir de magasin de conditionnements d'articles, comprenant essentiellement un ressort conique de compression, guidé par une broche traversant les spires et supportant les articles rappelés en permanence vers l'avant.
There are already known recall devices among which we can cite those described in the following patents or patent applications:
  • - French patent application FR-A-2 570 151 having for its object a display stand for a product packaging store, essentially comprising a spring alternately constituted by turns of two different diameters, guided by one or more rods inserted between the turns of large diameter and coils of small diameter and supporting the recalled articles forward.
  • - French patent n ° FR-A-2 527 913 relating to a store display allowing, by means of a vertical sliding plate, the placing in front of articles suspended from a single pin or from double pins; each spindle comprises a compression element of the spring type, stacked and sliding freely on the latter, the rear end of which bears on a ring previously threaded on each spindle and the front end of which is embedded in a slide mounted on the spindle and secured to the plate serving as a pusher.
  • - American patent US-A-4 475 658 having as its object a display case for the packaging of articles, essentially comprising a conical compression spring, guided by a pin passing through the turns and supporting the articles permanently recalled forward.

Les dispositifs décrits dans les brevets FR-A-2 570 151 et US-A-4 475 658 ne peuvent rappeler, sur une grande longueur, des conditionnements quelconques, compte-tenu de la disposition du ressort, et exigent la réalisation de ressorts particuliers.The devices described in patents FR-A-2,570,151 and US-A-4,475,658 cannot recall, over a long length, any packaging, taking into account the arrangement of the spring, and require the production of particular springs .

La demande de brevet FR-A-2 527 913, décrit un dispositif de réalisation assez compliquée, limitant la longueur utile de chaque broche dans une proportion importante, du fait de la présence du ressort et du coulisseau.Patent application FR-A-2 527 913 describes a fairly complicated production device, limiting the useful length of each spindle in a significant proportion, due to the presence of the spring and the slide.

Le brevet américain US-A-2 311 749 décrit un distributeur d'épingles à cheveux, comportant plusieurs broches support d'épingles, équipées chacune d'un dispositif à ressort travaillant à l'extension, relié à une traverse, assurant le rappel permanent des épingles à cheveux contre une butée située à l'une des extrémités de chaque broche. Afin de ne pas réduire la longueur utile des broches, chaque ressort entraîne un poussoir coulissant vers ladite butée, par l'intermédiaire d'un galet de renvoi à 180 monté sur un axe situé au delà de la butée.American patent US-A-2 311 749 describes a hairpin dispenser, comprising several pins for supporting pins, each equipped with a spring device working at extension, connected to a cross member, ensuring permanent return hairpins against a stopper located at one end of each pin. In order not to reduce the useful length of the pins, each spring drives a push rod sliding towards said stop, by means of a return roller 180 mounted on an axis located beyond the stop.

Le ressort et son galet de renvoi sont disposés dans un plan vertical située parallèlement à la broche, en dehors du champ de déplacement des épingles; ce qui augmente l'encombrement de l'ensemble et en limite, à priori, la largeur utile.The spring and its return roller are arranged in a vertical plane situated parallel to the spindle, outside the field of displacement of the pins; which increases the overall size of the assembly and limits, a priori, the useful width.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, car cette invention, telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications, résout le problème consistant à obtenir le rappel des sachets sur l'avant des broches doubles par des moyens simples, n'exigeant pas une fabrication spéciale de ressort, assurant un guidage régulier des conditionnements sur toute la longueur des dites broches en éliminant tout risque de coincement, sans augmenter l'encombrement; ceci, est obtenu par le fait que le ressort de rappel et son renvoi à 180° sont disposés à plat, entre les deux branches d'une broche double, dans le plan matérialisé par celles-ci et dans l'espace délimité par l'échancrure de la languette d'accrochage des conditionnements et que le poussoir coulissant est constitué d'une tôle pliée en U comportant, en dessous, des bords pliés à 90° vers l'intérieur et, sur l'avant, des pattes pliées à 90° vers l'extérieur, transmettant l'effort de poussée aux conditionnements dans l'axe de la broche.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks, because this invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of obtaining the recall of the sachets on the front of the double pins by simple means, n ' not requiring a special spring manufacture, ensuring regular guiding of the packages over the entire length of said pins by eliminating any risk of jamming, without increasing the bulk; this is obtained by the fact that the return spring and its return to 180 ° are arranged flat, between the two branches of a double spindle, in the plane materialized by them and in the space delimited by the indentation of the fastening tab of the packaging and that the sliding plunger consists of a sheet folded in a U having, below, edges folded 90 ° inwards and, on the front, legs folded at 90 ° outwards, transmitting the thrust force to the packages in the axis of the spindle.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention, consistent essentiellement en ceci, que, lorsque le consommateur prélève un conditionnement sur la broche, le ressort de rappel rapproche le poussoir coulissant et les conditionnements restant vers le nez de la broche, en comblant l'espace libéré sur celle-ci, que la dimension des pattes du poussoir coulissant, déployées latéralement vers l'avant, permettent d'obtenir une bonne répartition de la poussée due à l'action du ressort sur les conditionnements tout en maintenant ceux-ci dans un plan rigoureusement perpendiculaire aux broches et qu'il ne modifie pas la capacité de celles-ci.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist essentially in that, when the consumer takes a package from the spindle, the return spring brings the sliding plunger and the packages remaining towards the nose of the spindle closer, filling the space freed up on this, that the dimension of the legs of the sliding pusher, deployed laterally forward, allow a good distribution of the thrust due to the action of the spring on the packages to be obtained while keeping them in a plane strictly perpendicular to the pins and that it does not modify the capacity of these.

D'autres avantages apparaîtront dans la description qui va suivre d'un dispositif de rappel de sachets de conditionnement selon l'invention, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, au regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels

  • - La figure 1, représente une vue de côté, en coupe longitudinale, du dispositif monté sur une broche.
  • - la figure 2 représente, une vue de dessus du dispositif, monté sur une broche.
  • - la figure 3 représente, une coupe transversale de l'ensemble, au niveau du téton de renvoi du ressort.
  • - la figure 4 représente, une vue de face du poussoir coulissant.
Other advantages will appear in the following description of a device for recalling packaging sachets according to the invention, given by way of nonlimiting example, with regard to the appended drawings in which
  • - Figure 1 shows a side view, in longitudinal section, of the device mounted on a spindle.
  • - Figure 2 shows a top view of the device, mounted on a spindle.
  • - Figure 3 shows a cross section of the assembly, at the deflection stud of the spring.
  • - Figure 4 shows a front view of the sliding pusher.

Le dispositif est constitué essentiellement de la broche 1, sous laquelle ont été soudées, sur l'arrière, une traverse d'accrochage du ressort 5 et, sur l'avant, une traverse 3, sur le dessus de laquelle est fixé un téton cylindrique 4 à gorge 4a, constituant le renvoi à 180°, d'un ressort 5 et d'un poussoir coulissant 6.The device consists essentially of the pin 1, under which have been welded, on the rear, a cross member for hooking the spring 5 and, on the front, a cross member 3, on top of which is fixed a cylindrical stud 4 with groove 4a, constituting the reference at 180 °, of a spring 5 and of a sliding plunger 6.

Le ressort 5 est fixé, par une extrémité, à la traverse 2 soudée à l'arrière de la broche double, en dessous de celle-ci et, par l'autre extrémité, au poussoir coulissant 6, par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice 6a, après avoir été renvoyé vers celui-ci par le téton à gorge 4 fixé sur la traverse 3, soudée sur l'avant de la broche 1, à proximité du nez la de celle-ci; la hauteur du renvoi 4 est au plus, égale au diamètre des branches de la broche 1.The spring 5 is fixed, at one end, to the cross member 2 welded to the rear of the double spindle, below the latter and, by the other end, to the sliding plunger 6, by means of the orifice 6a, after having been returned to it by the grooved stud 4 fixed on the cross-member 3, welded on the front of the spindle 1, near the nose 1a thereof; the height of the reference 4 is at most equal to the diameter of the branches of the spindle 1.

Comme on le remarque sur les figures 1 et 2, le ressort 5 est accroché au poussoir coulissant 6 par l'intermédiaire d'un orifice 6a, percé en bordure de la partie supérieure du poussoir coulissant 6, dans le plan de symétrie longitudinal de celui-ci. Ainsi, les conditionnements sont rappelés en permanence vers le nez la de la broche 1, qui sert de butée, par le poussoir coulissant 6, sous l'action du ressort 5. Pour maintenir les conditionnements perpendiculairement à la broche 1 et répartir l'effort de poussée sur une surface suffisante, le poussoir coulissant 6 est muni de pattes 6b déployées latéralement sur l'avant. Le ressort 5 est maintenu en place, dans son plan de travail, par la gorge 4a décolletée dans le téton de renvoi 4, quelle que soit la tension exercée sur le ressort.As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the spring 5 is hooked to the sliding plunger 6 by means of an orifice 6a, drilled at the edge of the upper part of the sliding plunger 6, in the plane of longitudinal symmetry of that -this. Thus, the packages are permanently recalled towards the nose of the spindle 1, which serves as a stop, by the sliding pusher 6, under the action of the spring 5. To maintain the packages perpendicular to the spindle 1 and distribute the force pushing on a sufficient surface, the sliding pusher 6 is provided with tabs 6b deployed laterally on the front. The spring 5 is held in place, in its working plane, by the low-cut groove 4a in the return stud 4, whatever the tension exerted on the spring.

La traverse 2, à laquelle est accrochée l'une des extrémités du ressort 5, déborde, par ses extrémités 2a, de chaque côté de la broche 1, de façon à servir de butée de déplacement vers l'arrière au poussoir coulissant 6, maintenu en place sur les branches de la broche double 1 par les bords rabattus 6a.The cross member 2, to which one of the ends of the spring 5 is hooked, projects beyond, by its ends 2a, on each side of the spindle 1, so as to serve as a rearward displacement stop for the sliding pusher 6, maintained in place on the branches of the double spindle 1 by the folded edges 6a.

Comme on le voit sur les figures 3, le dispositif de rappel étant entièrement situé à l'intérieur de l'espace délimité par l'échancrure 7a existant dans la languette 7 permettant l'accrochage des conditionnements 8 aux broches-doubles 1, n'importe quel conditionnement dont la languette comporte une telle échancrure pourra être suspendu aux broches , quelle que soit les dimensions de celui-ci. Cette disposition se prêtant d'ailleurs, sans aucune restriction, à la présentation de conditionnements de grande largeur suspendus par l'intermédiaire de plusieurs broches, sous réserve, que leur languette comporte les échancrures correspondantes.As can be seen in FIGS. 3, the return device being entirely located inside the space delimited by the notch 7a existing in the tongue 7 allowing the attachments of the packages 8 to the double pins 1, n ' any packaging whose tongue has such a notch can be suspended from the pins, whatever the dimensions thereof. This arrangement is also suitable, without any restriction, for the presentation of packages of large width suspended by means of several pins, provided that their tongue has the corresponding notches.

On remarque, sur la figure 4, que les pattes 6b pliées à 90° vers l'extérieur du coulisseau 6, ont un plan médian transversal confondu avec le plan défini par les axes des branches 1b et 1c de la broche double 1, ce qui permet de transmettre aux languettes de suspension 7 une poussée exercée dans l'axe de symétrie des deux broches; ce qui a pour effet de mantenir les languettes 7 perpendiculairement à la broche 1, quelle que soit leur position sur cette dernière.It is noted, in FIG. 4, that the tabs 6b bent at 90 ° towards the outside of the slide 6, have a transverse median plane coincident with the plane defined by the axes of the branches 1b and 1c of the double spindle 1, which used to transmit to the suspension tabs 7 a thrust exerted in the axis of symmetry of the two pins; which has the effect of holding the tongues 7 perpendicular to the spindle 1, whatever their position on the latter.
