Abstract

The invention relates to a device allowing, on a panel, the production of alphanumeric characters and various graphics. These panels can be juxtaposed so as to produce texts or messages. Only the number of panels made available to the user can limit the number of characters or graphics. These panels are intended to inform the public of exhibitions, events, advertising, campaigns having a localised nature.

Description

La présente invention concerne des penneaux d'information permettant de réaliser des caractères alphanumériques et des graphismes qui, juxtaposés horizontalement constituent ces textes modifiables rapidement. The present invention relates to information flags making it possible to produce alphanumeric characters and graphics which, juxtaposed horizontally constitute these texts which can be rapidly modified.

Les messages ou textes ainsi obtenus, permettent l'information ou la publicité. The messages or texts thus obtained allow information or publicity.

I1 existe actuellement deux types d'enseignes : l'une dont le contenu est figé, qui donne une information dont le message ne et être modifié, l'autre évolutif, permet la modification des textes. C'est d-ns ce dernier domeine qu'intervient la présente invention dans lequel on trouve deux techniques très dis tinctes : a) la permière consiste à juxtaposer des lettres et des chiffres afin de constituer un texte. Très souvent, ces caractères sont réalisés en bois, ce qui ne permet pas un éclairage intégré et d fait de la répétitivité de certains caractres dcns un texte quelconque, il est indispensable d'avoir en resserve plusieurs caractères identiques. There are currently two types of signs: one whose content is frozen, which gives information whose message cannot be changed, and the other which is evolutive, allows the modification of texts. It is in this latter domeine that the present invention comes into play, in which there are two very distinct techniques: a) the first consists in juxtaposing letters and numbers in order to constitute a text. Very often, these characters are made of wood, which does not allow integrated lighting and therefore the repetitiveness of certain characters in any text, it is essential to have several identical characters in them.

b) la deuxième, beaucoup plus sophistiquée est appelée journol informatique ou journal électronique et permet la diffusion de messages très longs (les caractères défilent) avec un. temps de programmation trs court.b) the second, much more sophisticated is called computer journol or electronic journal and allows the diffusion of very long messages (the characters scroll) with one. very short programming time.

Le nouveau procéde vient donc se placer entre les deux techniques existantes. The new procedure is therefore placed between the two existing techniques.

La structure d'un panneau est constitué: d'un caisson dont la partie arrière reçoit les éléments de fixation; les éléments de fixation (sur un mur ou sur un support) ; d'une façade diffusant la lumière ; des modules embrochables ; d'une source lumineuse. The structure of a panel consists of: a box, the rear part of which receives the fastening elements; fixing elements (on a wall or on a support); a facade diffusing the light; plug-in modules; of a light source.

Sur le panneau de façade, se fixent les modules qui viennent occulter en partie la source lumineuse (dans le cas de panneaux lumineux) ou nar contraste de couleur (si le panneau n'est p5S rote d'éclairage interne). On the front panel, the modules are fixed which partially obscure the light source (in the case of light panels) or nar color contrast (if the panel is not internal lighting).

Suivant le nombre et la position des modules implextés sur la façade, nos pouvons obtenir : . tous les caractères alphanumériques, les signes de ponctuation, des graphismes au ri de l'imagination de l'utilisateur, comme es logos, dessins divers, idéogrammes etc... Depending on the number and the position of the modules implexed on the facade, we can obtain:. all alphanumeric characters, punctuation marks, graphics at the laughter of the user's imagination, such as logos, various designs, ideograms etc ...

La juxtaposition horizontale des panneaux permet donc de constituer des textes ou messages. Le nombre de ces panneaux est techniquement illimité, et la modification des textes est zone très simple et rapide. L'utilisateur compose caractère par caractère (panneau par panneau) son texte en embrochant des modules sur la face extérieure de chaque panneau. The horizontal juxtaposition of the panels therefore makes it possible to constitute texts or messages. The number of these panels is technically unlimited, and the modification of the texts is very simple and fast zone. The user composes character by character (panel by panel) his text by plugging in modules on the outside of each panel.

Le dispositif permet la composition et l'affichage de textes, messages dont les réalisationet modification sont très rapides dans un but d'information et de publicité destiné au grand public. The device allows the composition and display of texts, messages whose realization and modification are very fast for the purpose of information and publicity intended for the general public.

Claims

- CLAIMS

1.- Information and / or advertising panel, characterized in that it consists of: - a box, the rear part of which receives the fixing elements on a wall or a support, - and plug-in modules, installed on the facade, and the number and position of which allow texts or messages to be obtained.

2.- information and / or advertising panel according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a light source forming a light panel, which source is obscured by the modules located on the facade.

3.- Information and / or advertising panel according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a background of color obscured by the modules, allowing a contrast of colors.
