Abstract

The magnifier has a convergent lens (1) of circular or rectangular shape with a magnification of two or three times. The lens can be inserted in a frame (2). The lens can be positioned horizontally or at an angle to the ground and at a level convenient for reading the labels. The lens can be mounted via rods (2-4) or a plate or grill to the handle of the shopping trolley. The rods can be of metal or plastics. The mountings can have sliding rods to allow adjustment of the height. The lens can be rotatable around its optical axis.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif optique dont le but est de faciliter la lecture des diverses informations date limite de consommation, composition ... ) portées sur les étiquettes ou les articles en vente dans les grandes surfaces. II est destiné à être relié au chariot utilisé par les consommateurs.The present invention relates to an optical device the purpose of which is to facilitate the reading of the various information of the expiry date, composition, etc.) carried on the labels or the articles on sale in supermarkets. It is intended to be connected to the trolley used by consumers.

De nombreuses personnes (mal - voyants, personnes atteintes de presbytie ... ) éprouvent des difficultés à lire les informations de plus en plus nombreuses citées ci-dessus, ce dispositif leur est particulièrement destiné.Many people (visually impaired, people with presbyopia ...) find it difficult to read the increasing information cited above, this device is particularly intended for them.

Mais il peut également, s'il est généralisé, permettre des inscriptions plus petites sur les articles. Ceci pourrait permettre sur des articles de petite taille un emballage réduit, d'où moindre coût, une économie de place dans le magasins et des déchets moins importants.But it can also, if it is generalized, allow smaller inscriptions on the articles. This could allow reduced packaging on small items, hence lower cost, saving space in stores and less waste.

La pièce fondamentale de ce dispositif est une lentille Ol convergente, de forme circulaire, rectangulaire ou de forme quelconque dont la convergence permettra un grossissement de 2 ou 3 voire plus. II sera en outre souhaitable qu'elle soit sertie dans une monture (2). The fundamental part of this device is a converging lens L 1, of circular, rectangular or any shape whose convergence will allow a magnification of 2 or 3 or even more. It will also be desirable for it to be crimped into a frame (2).

Elle pourra être placée horizontalement ou inclinée par rapport au sol.It can be placed horizontally or inclined to the ground.

Elle devra être positionnée à un hauteur telle que la lecture des informations soit aisée.It should be positioned at a height such that reading information is easy.

La lentille pourra être reliée au chariot de diverses manières: 1) De manière définitive: - à l'aide d'un système de tiges ( de 2 à 4 ) ou d'une plaque à la grille (figure n"
1 de profil et n" 2 de face ) ou à la barre de préhension (figure n" 3 de face et
n" 4 de profil ) du chariot. Ces tiges pourront être en métal ou en matière
plastique, il sera important de veiller à leur solidité.
The lens can be connected to the carriage in various ways: 1) Definitively: - using a system of rods (2 to 4) or a plate on the grid (figure n "
1 in profile and n "2 from the front) or with the grip bar (figure n" 3 from the front and
n "4 in profile) of the carriage. These rods may be made of metal or material
plastic, it will be important to ensure their solidity.

- incluse à un autre élément du chariot ( monnayeur, porte liste, ... ) 2) de manière provisoire:
La lentille pourra être reliée de façon provisoire au chariot à l'aide de pinces ou de clips : il s'agit dans ce cas d'un article fabriqué à part et destiné à la vente variante non représentée ).
- included in another element of the cart (coin mechanism, list holder, ...) 2) temporarily:
The lens can be temporarily connected to the trolley using clamps or clips: in this case, it is an article produced separately and intended for sale (not shown).

Si la lentille est fixée de manière définitive il sera nécessaire de prendre quelques précautions: - veiller à la solidité de l'ensemble de façon à ce que le système ne puisse être
dérobé.
If the lens is permanently fixed it will be necessary to take some precautions: - ensure the solidity of the assembly so that the system cannot be
stolen.

- ranger les chariots dans un endroit couvert à l'abri des intempéries qui ne
manqueraient pas d'abîmer la lentille.
- store the carts in a covered place sheltered from bad weather
would damage the lens.

- Prévoir des monnayeurs différents si les chariots ne sont pas tous équipés du
système.
- Provide different coin acceptors if the carts are not all equipped with
system.

Diverses améliorations pourront être apportées au système: - un réglage en hauteur de la lentille à l'aide, par exemple, de tiges coulissantes.Various improvements can be made to the system: - height adjustment of the lens using, for example, sliding rods.

- une rotation de la lentille autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe optique (5). - a rotation of the lens around an axis perpendicular to the optical axis (5).
