DE202024002157U1 - A support foot as an accessory for roll-up displays to stabilize the roll-up display under vertical and horizontal force influence - Google Patents

Abstract

Roll up display support foot, characterized in that it makes the roll up display less susceptible to wind and impact loads by fixing the roll up with the support foot and additional weight on the floor boom of the support foot.

Description

The invention relates to a support system that is mounted on the vertical support pole of a commercially available roll-up display and is weighted in the base area to stabilize the roll-up when subjected to vertical and horizontal forces.

Roll-up displays have long been available in various design standards and widths and, using a printed textile display, serve as advertising material for both indoor and outdoor use. Especially outdoors, roll-up displays are susceptible to wind loads and are at risk of tipping over. Indoors, a roll-up display will also begin to sway if additional support systems, such as flyer holders, are mounted on the support pole and the forces acting on the roll-up display are unbalanced or become unbalanced due to impact.

Patent application No. 23721334.3 at the European Patent Office describes such an advertising holder system, which can be mounted directly on the roll-up display to present brochures, other advertising materials and also digital media such as tablets.

Premium roll-up displays are generally sturdy enough to accommodate and support one or even multiple advertising support systems. Simple, inexpensive roll-up displays are inherently prone to tipping and falling over when carrying additional loads.

In the case of additional assembly weights but also for basically simple and unstable roll-up displays, the roll-up display support foot described here helps to prevent the roll-up display from tipping or falling over.

The roll-up display support base described in the application can be manufactured in different variants:

• • Wooden legs
• • Aluminum tube legs
• • Plastic pipe legs
• • Telescopic tube legs
• • Joint links integrated into the leg construction or can be mounted as additional connecting components
• • Various leg lengths
• • Various leg profiles and cross-sections
• • Various existing accessories as weights that can be placed on the angle or T-piece of the support base on the ground, for example water rings from the typical beach flag accessories and others.
• • The support foot T-angle lying on the floor can also be fixed by placing, for example, full crates of drinks, heavy packages and other weights on it
• • Connection and swivel joints are fixed by user-friendly wheel bolts or similar without the need for tools

• Der Roll up Display Stützfuss besteht aus mindestens einem Schenkel mit T-Stück am Boden aber üblicherweise 2 Schenkeln mit T-Stück am Boden, die in variablen Winkeln an die Roll up Display Aufstellstange befestigt und bei 2 Schenkeln zusätzlich im Zwischengelenk der 2 Schenkel fixiert werden können. Das T-Stück am Boden dient zum Aufstellen von Gewichten, um so das Roll up Display zu fixieren. Statt des T-Stücks könnte auch ein Tellerfuss oder ein Kreuzfuss als Bodenaufsteller verwendet werden.

General product description Roll up display support base (RDS):

• The roll-up display support base consists of at least one leg with a T-piece at the bottom, but usually two legs with T-pieces at the bottom. These legs can be attached to the roll-up display support pole at variable angles. In the case of two legs, they can also be secured at the joint between the two legs. The T-piece at the bottom serves as a base for weights to secure the roll-up display. Instead of the T-piece, a plate base or a cross base can also be used as a floor stand.

The sharper the angle between X and Y of the support leg attached to the roll-up display pole, the less effective the absorption of tensile and compressive loads by the weighted floor T-piece becomes. This means, conversely, that the stabilization of the roll-up display increases with an increase in the angle of leg length 1 = attachment point of the support leg joint on the roll-up display pole to its base point (=X) and leg length 2 = attachment point of the support leg joint on the roll-up display pole to the floor T-piece support leg (=Y) (illustration in 3 below).

• - Aufnahme von Zug- und Druckkräften am Roll up Display
• - Aufnahme von horizontalen und vertikalen Lasten am Roll up Display
• - Zusatznutzen durch Montagemöglichkeit von zusätzlichen Haltesystemen direkt am Roll up Display Stützfuss.

General effects of using a roll up display support base

• - Absorption of tensile and compressive forces on the roll-up display
• - Acceptance of horizontal and vertical loads on the roll-up display
• - Additional benefit through the possibility of mounting additional holding systems directly on the roll up display support base.

The invention offers the possibility of producing and distributing an individually height-adjustable roll-up display support base for individual use but also for use in large quantities, for example for roll-up dealers and manufacturers. Alternatively, the support foot can be recreated by third parties in a subscription model provided by the applicant, using the assembly instructions and digital drawings, their own 3D printer, and purchased accessories.

Building on this, the invention provides a simple, efficient and compact method to expand conventional roll-up displays into a more comprehensive presentation medium and increase their advertising value.
