Description

 DESCRIPTION

DEVICE OF DEPLOYABLE MODULES FOR ADVERTISING AND DISPLAY OF PRODUCTS

The object to which the invention that is protected in this Utility Model refers is related to square, rectangular and curved modules to fold each other in a zigzag form, so as to assemble structures for advertising and display of products such as exhibition stands and furniture.

Right now there are several products that are offered in the market to participate in fairs seeking to visually impact the attendees such as stands and exhibition furniture, with the objective that these should be adapted to the business needs of the companies, that is, to customize These stands and / or exhibition furniture with logos, sheets with corporate images or messages that you want to display.

It is known the existence of various materials in which you can manufacture a stand such as wood, plastics, glass, ironwork, steel and with various finishes, in plastic laminates, vinyl or paint.

The simplest are formed by aluminum profiles that enclose methacrylate sheets, which are practically all the same and are based on the construction of modules based on posts, crossbars and curves.

While the most elaborate ones are constructed with cut and painted wood sheets, requiring manual, electrical tools and accessories for their construction, the wooden stands can take more or less time to be assembled depending on the type of wood used and the design chosen by the client

Regarding the type of wood, a classification can be made between hardwoods and softwoods. Hardwoods will be the most expensive and the ones with the greatest strength and quality will give the stand, however they will also be the most difficult to handle. Softwoods in this regard are much more flexible, however, they are much more fragile when it comes to building a stand. In both types of wood in relation to the design, the more complicated it is, the longer it will take to build the stand.

Wooden structures are generally rented according to the design of the company or the one proposed by its stand supplier, in many cases they are reused structures where deterioration can be made visible. When it is for the purchase, the construction of these structures requires a minimum time of 20 business days, with a great impact on the costs and delivery times, in addition it requires logistics in the transport and storage of said structures.

 The device of deployable modules for advertising and display of products that the invention proposes, has been conceived and structured in order to solve the previous problem in ease, costs, times and logistics.

The square, rectangular and curved modules are made in metal profile preferably in industrial aluminum of square, grooved and structural section, where each module is armed with four profiles cut at 45 ° which to define its square, rectangular or even curved shape are ensured with aluminum corners and screws.

These modules are joined together by pairs of hinges located on the back and front sides of the modules to fold each other in a zigzag shape, to carry this structure that make up the attached modules, to the horizontal position on the floor, allow to place and turn the locking screws on the rivet threads giving it the rigidity necessary to be able to bring the structure upright. The most outstanding feature of this structure is its zigzag shape that allows it to be detached, to achieve its easy transport, it is very comfortable to occupy little space and little weight, at the construction site it is very easy to deploy the structures and thus form the stands and display furniture without requiring additional tools. Each structure can have two, fres, four or up to five modules, said structures are joined side by side to build stands for advertising and product display, that is, each structure joins one side to the other with locking thymes turning them in the remediable threads, thus forming a backing wall with two structures, with three structures joined together in the same way creates the minimum dimension for a stand.

The uses of the curved modules are: adding a circumference within a square module, which can be used on the ceiling or in the structure according to the design, another use is a square module with a straight corner and another curve, another use is a module with a straight side and half circumference.

For the stability of a structure, a backing wall or stand will be added two structures that support vertically at each end, each with the same number of modules in height of the central structure and a certain width, according to the design.

Exhibition furniture is also made, such as the attention points at the fair (counters) and exhibitors.

The structures that make up the stand are covered with interchangeable sheets in rigid base such as polystyrene, acrylic, polycarbonate or fabric with digital prints, which have the corporate images of these companies, which are placed by direct manual pressure on the contact tape that has been previously pasted on the front side of the modules.

This module device allows to optimize the construction and installation time of a stand in a fairground or exhibition place because these structures are portable, that is, it is a device of deployable modules that passes from the compact order to open and extended, In its compact state it is easy to transport, it is small in volume and light, it does not require additional tools, it is only necessary to place and turn the locking screws on the rivet threads, they are reusable because the sheets or the fabric that cover the stand structures are interchangeable what which allows its use in another fair or event and are reconfigurable because the structures allow variants of an initial design.

In relation to the exhibition furniture, the set of drop-down modules allows building points of attention at the fair (counters), exhibitors, among others, which are assembled using a structure of four modules, joining its two ends, in a 90 ° position between modules to obtain a square or rectangular solid, joined with locking threads in remapables threads and in the upper part there is a base for display furniture such as wood or aero which is secured with screws in rivetable threads.

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics and assembly of this utility model, this set of drawings, as an integral part of it, is accompanied by a set of drawings that represent the next: Figure 1: Shows how a module (1) is assembled.

Figure 16: Shows how an exhibition piece of furniture is formed such as a point of attention (counter), adding a base for display furniture (10) wood or acrylic and securing with rivet threads (6) and thymes (5).

Figure 17: According to design, presentation for a client through three-dimensional images generated by computer. In view of the previous figures, it can be seen that the display module device for advertising and product display, is structured from square or rectangular or curved modules (1) made of metal profile, preferably industrial section aluminum square, grooved and structural with measures between: 75 x 75 cm or 25 X 75 cm or 50 X 75 cm, where each module (1) is armed with four profiles cut at 45 ° to define its square, rectangular or even Curves are secured with corner brackets (2) in aluminum of 2.3 cm each corner and screws (3) of 3/8 "inches in diameter (Figure 1).

These modules (1) are joined together by pairs of hinges (4) which are metallic between 5 X 2 cm to 7 X 3 cm, located on the back and front sides of the modules (1) (Figure 2) to fold with each other in the form of a zigzag (Figure 3), thus going from the compact to the open and extended order. The initial structure taken to the horizontal position on the floor allows to place and turn the metal locking screws (5) with length between 8 cm to 10.5 cm by 3/8 "inches in diameter, in the rivet threads (6) the which coincide with that of the screw (5) to which it is attached, its location is next to each hinge (4) 10 cm towards the center (Figure 4), giving it the rigidity necessary to be able to bring the structure to an upright position.

In the horizontal position the contact tape (7) will be placed on the front face of the structure for the subsequent adhesion of the interchangeable sheets (8) on a rigid base such as polystyrene, acrylic, polycarbonate or fabric with digital prints with the corporate image of the companies and photos alluding to them (Figure 5).

Each structure can have two, three, four or up to five modules (1) depending on the design; there may be three modules (1) of 75 X 75 cm plus another module (1) of 25 X 75 cm completing in this case four modules (1) for a height of 2.50 meters (Figure 6) being this the commonly accepted height in fairgrounds.

In some cases, according to design, a fifth module (1) of 50 X 75 cm will be added, which at a 90 * angle at the top creates a roof (Figure 7). On the roof there is also the use of the curved modules (1) that will be adding a circumference (9) of 75 cm in diameter within a square module (1) of 75 x 75 cm (Figure 8), another use is a module (one) square with a straight corner and another curve, said curve will have a radius of 75 cm (Figure 9), another use will be a module (1) with a straight side and half circumference of 75 cm radius (Figure 10).

The use of a circumference (9) of 75 cm in diameter within a square module (1) of 75 x 75 cm (Figure 8), can be part of a structure or form a structure (Figure 11). All of the above is used according to the design approved by the client.

The initial structure (Figure 6) will be joined to another side by means of locking screws (5), which are turned and secured in the rivet threads (6) that go halfway up each pair of modules (1), forming thus a backing wall (Figure 12), with dimensions of 1.50 meters wide and 2.50 meters high.

By joining three structures in the same way as before, they give rise to the minimum dimension for a stand (Figure 13). For the stability of a structure (Figure 6), a backing wall (Figure 12) or stand (Figure 13) will add two structures that support (11) vertically at each end at 90 °, each with the same number of modules (1) in height of the central structure, with a width of 25 or 50 cm depending on the design (Figure 14). The structures that make up the stand are covered with interchangeable sheets (8) on a rigid base such as polystyrene, acrylic, polycarbonate or fabric with digital prints, by direct manual pressure on the contact tape (7).

For example, there is a stand with measures of 2.25 X 1.50 meters, with a height of 2.50 meters, this stand is made up of 7 structures: 3 backrest structures and 2 lateral structures on each side, in the 3 backup structures each have a module (1) that originates a roof, two are square modules (1) with a straight corner and another curve, said curve will have a radius of 75 cm (Figure 9) and the other roof that goes to the center will be adding a circumference (9) of 75 cm in diameter within a square module (1) of 75 X 75 cm (Figure 8). In the lateral structures we have two measures in height of 2.50 meters and 2.25 meters. These structures are joined laterally to each other by means of locking screws (5), which are rotated and secured in the rivet threads (6) that go halfway up each pair of modules (1) and then these structures are covered with interchangeable sheets (8) in rigid base or fabric with digital prints (Figure 15).

For the option of building an exhibition cabinet with the device of deployable modules such as a spotlight at the fair (counter) or an exhibitor, among others, a structure with four modules (1) is used, depending on the size determined in the design. ) with measures between: 25 X 75 cm or 50 x 75 cm or 75 x 75 cm, which by joining its two modules (1) at each end of the structure, leaving between the modules (1) a position of 90 ° is obtained a square or rectangular solid, joined with locking screws (5) on rivetable threads (6) and on the top is a base for display furniture (10) such as wood or acrylic or glass, which is secured with screws lock (5) on rivet threads (6) (Figure 16).

With this device of deployable modules we can build a wide variety of stands, according to the designs proposed by the company or according to the needs of the client and the creativity of our designer, this stand is complemented with the exhibition furniture that is also built with This device of modules, a presentation for a client is included in the figures, through computer-generated three-dimensional images, a design of a stand with an exhibition cabinet (Figure 1).
