Description

Estructura portante para rótulos.Support structure for labels.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una estructura portante para rótulos, y más concretamente para rótulos del tipo de los que los motivos publicitarios y/o informativos de que es portador van ubicados sobre una banda o lámina flexible, fijada al rótulo por dos de sus bordes y asistida por medios de tensado para la misma.The present invention relates to a structure bearing for labels, and more specifically for labels of the type of which the advertising and / or informational reasons that it is carrier are located on a flexible band or sheet, fixed to the label by two of its edges and assisted by tensioning means to the same.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir un rótulo en el que tanto el montaje y desmontaje de dicha banda como el tensado de la misma, resulten sumamente fáciles y sencillos.The object of the invention is to achieve a label in which both the assembly and disassembly of said band and the tensioned, be extremely easy and simple.

Background of the invention

Una solución habitual a la hora de estructurar un rótulo, es disponer de una pareja de perfiles horizontales, uno superior y otro inferior, convenientemente distanciados y relacionados entre sí mediante montantes verticales, estableciéndose entre los dos perfiles horizontales citados una lámina flexible, portadora de la información, que penetra en el seno de dichos perfiles y que puede ser convenientemente tensada, para que ofrezca una superficie visible totalmente plana y tersa.A usual solution when structuring a label, is to have a pair of horizontal profiles, one upper and lower, conveniently distanced and related to each other by vertical uprights, settling between the two horizontal profiles mentioned a flexible sheet, carrier of information, which penetrates the within these profiles and which can be conveniently tensioned, to offer a completely flat visible surface and smooth.

Para ello la citada lámina flexible presenta, en correspondencia con sus bordes superior e inferior, sendos repliegues a modo de canutillo que permiten la introducción en su seno de una varilla determinante de un acusado regruesamiento para cada uno de dichos bordes, que permite a su vez la fijación de los mismos con la colaboración de una pieza de retención, montada en el seno del propio perfil, tanto a nivel superior como a nivel inferior, y que es de posicionamiento regulable con respecto a dicho perfil, en orden, como acaba de decirse, a permitir el tensado de la lámina flexible.For this, the aforementioned flexible sheet presents, in correspondence with its upper and lower edges, both folds as a canutillo that allow the introduction into your sine of a rod determining a defendant regruesamiento for each of said edges, which in turn allows the fixing of the themselves with the collaboration of a retention piece, mounted on the within the profile itself, both at a higher level and at a level lower, and that is of adjustable positioning with respect to said profile, in order, as just said, to allow the tensioning of the flexible sheet.

Existen diferentes soluciones para movilizar y bloquear las citadas piezas móviles asociadas a los perfiles superior e inferior, que van desde sistemas de tornillo-tuerca, que permiten un alto grado de regulación, hasta sistemas de dentados complementarios, que permiten un tensado más rápido pero con un menor nivel de regulación, pero todas estas soluciones presentan como denominador común el hecho de que los medios de tensado para la lámina flexible quedan situados dentro del perfil superior e inferior, en zonas de relativamente complicada accesibilidad, que hacen que esta maniobra resulte incómoda por cuanto que debe accederse al rótulo por los bordes superior e inferior del mismo y debe manipularse en zonas estrechas y difícilmente accesibles.There are different solutions to mobilize and block the mentioned moving parts associated with the profiles upper and lower, ranging from systems screw-nut, which allow a high degree of regulation, to complementary teeth systems, which allow a faster tension but with a lower level of regulation, but all these solutions present as common denominator the fact that the tensioning means for the flexible sheet are located within the upper and lower profile, in areas of relatively complicated accessibility, which make this maneuver result uncomfortable because the sign must be accessed by the edges upper and lower thereof and should be handled in narrow areas and hardly accessible.

Description of the invention

La estructura portante para rótulos que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, ya que permite un óptimo tensado de la lámina flexible en una maniobra que se realiza frontalmente sobre el rótulo, en condiciones de óptima accesibilidad y facilidad de manejo.The bearing structure for signs that the proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problematic previously exposed, since it allows an optimal tensioning of the flexible sheet in a maneuver that is performed frontally on the label, in optimal conditions accessibility and ease of handling.

Para ello y de forma más concreta, tanto en el perfil superior como en el perfil inferior de la estructura portante del rótulo se establece una acanaladura rectangular, de embocadura orientada frontalmente y de aristas redondeadas, para que la lámina flexible apoye sobre ella sin el menor riesgo de daño, alojándose en el interior de dicha acanaladura una pieza tensora, cuya anchura se adecua a la de la acanaladura rectangular, permitiendo no obstante el paso entre ellas de la lámina flexible, que sobrepasa la rama externa de dicha acanaladura rectangular y se abate sobre el exterior del perfil para penetrar con su extremo libre en el interior del mismo, estando esta pieza tensora atravesada centradamente por un tornillo, que atraviesa también la propia lámina flexible y que rosca en la rama media de la acanaladura rectangular.To do this and more specifically, both in the upper profile as in the lower profile of the structure bearing the sign a rectangular groove is established, of mouthpiece oriented frontally and with rounded edges, for that the flexible sheet rest on it without the slightest risk of damage, a piece being lodged inside said groove tensioner, the width of which corresponds to that of the rectangular groove, allowing however the passage between them of the flexible sheet, which exceeds the outer branch of said rectangular groove and is Abbe on the outside of the profile to penetrate with its end free inside it, this tensioning piece being crossed centrally by a screw, which also crosses the own flexible blade that threads in the middle branch of the rectangular groove.

La estructura descrita se complementa con una tapa acoplable machihembradamente al perfil de la estructura y que remata estéticamente el borde externo de dicho perfil, a la vez que cubre la embocadura de su acanaladura frontal y rectangular, rematándose directamente sobre el sector plano y visible de la lámina flexible.The structure described is complemented by a lid tongue and groove coupled to the profile of the structure and that aesthetically finishes the outer edge of said profile, while covers the mouth of its front and rectangular groove, finishing off directly on the flat and visible sector of the flexible sheet.

De esta manera y teniendo la acanaladura rectangular una cota en profundidad considerablemente mayor que la cota equivalente de la pieza tensora, ésta puede quedar más o menos distanciada del fondo de dicha acanaladura, de acuerdo con el posicionamiento adoptado por el citado tornillo, en orden a efectuar una mayor o menor tracción sobre la lámina flexible, o lo que es lo mismo, en orden a conseguir el perfecto tensado de la misma.In this way and having the groove rectangular a depth dimension considerably greater than the equivalent dimension of the tensioning piece, this can be more or less distanced from the bottom of said groove, according to the positioning adopted by said screw, in order to make more or less traction on the flexible sheet, or which is the same, in order to get the perfect tension of the same.

Evidentemente, la invención es aplicable tanto a rótulos con una estructura sustancialmente plana, es decir, con una cota antero-posterior relativamente reducida, como a rótulos con profundidad considerablemente mayor, que pueden ser portadores de información por sus dos caras mayores, a través de respectivas láminas flexibles.Obviously, the invention is applicable to both labels with a substantially flat structure, that is, with a relatively reduced antero-posterior dimension, such as to signs with considerably greater depth, which can be bearers of information for its two major faces, through respective flexible sheets.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, y en especial de la figura 1, puede observarse como en la estructura portante que la invención propone participa un perfil (1) destinado a situarse horizontalmente a nivel superior del rótulo y con el que colaborará otro perfil inferior simétrico, entre los que se establece la lámina flexible (2) portadora de la información de que se trate, con la especial particularidad de que, de acuerdo ya con la invención, en cada uno de estos perfiles (1) se configura una acanaladura rectangular (3) de embocadura (4) orientada frontalmente, en cuyo seno juega una pieza tensora (5) de posicionamiento regulable, fijable al propio perfil (1), concretamente a la rama media (6) de la acanaladura (3), en un orificio roscado (7) operativamente practicado en el centro de la misma, y ello con la colaboración de un tornillo (8) que rosca en dicho orificio (7) que atraviesa libremente la pieza tensora (5) sobre la que actúa a través de su propia cabeza (9).In view of the figures outlined, and in special figure 1, can be seen as in the structure support that the invention proposes participates a profile (1) intended to be placed horizontally at the top level of the label and with which another symmetric lower profile will collaborate, among which establishes the flexible sheet (2) carrying the information that it is, with the special feature that, in accordance with the invention, in each of these profiles (1) a Rectangular groove (3) facing (4) oriented frontally, in whose bosom a tensioning piece (5) of adjustable positioning, attachable to the profile itself (1), specifically to the middle branch (6) of the groove (3), in a threaded hole (7) operatively practiced in the center of the same, and this with the collaboration of a screw (8) that threads in said hole (7) freely passing through the tensioning piece (5) on which he acts through his own head (9).

La pieza tensora (5) adopta a su vez una configuración en "U" presentando una anchura próxima a la de la acanaladura frontal (4) del perfil (1), de manera que entre dicha pieza tensora (5) y las ramas laterales (10) de la acanaladura (3), existe un relativo ajuste, con una holgura suficiente como para que entre ambos elementos pase la lámina flexible (2) que se ve así forzada a una serie de inflexiones sucesivas en su trayectoria, hasta finalmente rematar su extremidad libre (2') en el interior de una segunda acanaladura (11) establecida en el propio perfil (1), por detrás de la acanaladura (3), y tras la que a su vez se establece una tercera acanaladura (12) abierta también exteriormente y de las que se hablará más adelante.The tensioning piece (5) in turn adopts a "U" configuration presenting a width close to that of the front groove (4) of the profile (1), so that between said tensioning piece (5) and the lateral branches (10) of the groove (3), there is a relative adjustment, with a slack enough for the foil to pass between the two elements flexible (2) that is thus forced into a series of inflections successive in his career, until finally finishing off his limb free (2 ') inside a second groove (11) established in the profile itself (1), behind the groove (3), and after which a third groove is established (12) also open externally and which will be discussed more ahead.

Entre la pieza tensora (5) y la acanaladura frontal y rectangular (3) se genera un acuñamiento para la lámina flexible (2), que la inmoviliza, manteniéndose perfectamente tensada, tanto más cuanto penetre dicha pieza tensora (5) hacia el fondo (6) de la acanaladura (3).Between the tensioning piece (5) and the groove front and rectangular (3) a wedge is generated for the sheet flexible (2), which immobilizes it, keeping perfectly tensioned, all the more when the tensioning piece (5) penetrates towards the bottom (6) of the groove (3).

La estructura descrita se complementa con una tapa (13) provista de un sector frontal y curvo-convexo (14) que cierra la embocadura (4) de la acanaladura rectangular (3) y que cuenta con un amplio sector rectilíneo, que se corresponde con la propia referencia (13), provisto en su cara interna de una pareja de patillas (15) ortogonalmente acodadas hacia atrás, destinadas a enclavarse en tabiques (16) que constituyen estrangulaciones parciales de la embocadura de las acanaladuras (11) y (12), de manera que dicha tapa (13) puede ser simplemente apoyada sobre el perfil (1), con sus patillas (15) enfrentadas a las acanaladuras (11) y (12), y finalmente desplazada hacia atrás, hacia la situación de enclavamiento mostrada en la figura 1, en la que la tapa no sólo remata estéticamente el rótulo al ocultar tanto la embocadura (4) de la acanaladura frontal como los medios de tensión para la lámina flexible (2), sino que además colabora en la retención de la propia lámina (2), concretamente en el sector próximo a su extremidad libre (2'), que queda pinzado entre la tapa (13) y el perfil (1).The structure described is complemented by a cover (13) provided with a frontal sector and curved-convex (14) that closes the mouth (4) of the rectangular groove (3) and which has a wide sector rectilinear, which corresponds to the reference itself (13), provided on its inner face with a pair of sideburns (15) orthogonally angled backwards, intended to engage in partitions (16) that constitute partial strangulations of the mouth of the grooves (11) and (12), so that said cover (13) can simply be supported on the profile (1), with their pins (15) facing the grooves (11) and (12), and finally shifted back towards the situation of interlocking shown in figure 1, in which the lid not only aesthetically finish the label by hiding both the mouth (4) of the front groove as the tension means for the blade flexible (2), but also collaborates in the retention of one's own blade (2), specifically in the sector near its limb free (2 '), which is pinched between the cover (13) and the profile (one).

A partir de esta estructuración básica es factible que el perfil (1) cuente con una acanaladura (17) para acoplamiento de los montantes verticales que los relacionarán con el otro perfil horizontal participante en la estructura, en el ejemplo representado en la figura 1 con el perfil correspondiente al borde inferior del rótulo, cuando se trate de rótulos destinados a ser acoplados a una pared o a cualquier otra superficie vertical, o bien que el perfil (1) carezca de dicha acanaladura (17) y se prolongue por su borde posterior en un amplio tabique plano (18) tras el que se remata en un cabezal simétrico (1'), provisto de la correspondiente tapa embellecedora (13'), tal como muestra la figura 2, de manera que a este segundo cabezal (1') es acoplable una segunda lámina flexible (2) o, como en el ejemplo de realización práctica representado en la figura 2, un panel (19), que constituye la otra cara operativa del rótulo, que puede ser de cualquier naturaleza apropiada, y que en cualquier caso queda fijado por la correspondiente tapa (13').From this basic structuring is it is possible that the profile (1) has a groove (17) for coupling of the vertical uprights that will relate them to the other horizontal profile participating in the structure, in the example represented in figure 1 with the corresponding profile to the bottom edge of the sign, in the case of intended signs to be attached to a wall or any other vertical surface, or that the profile (1) lacks said groove (17) and is prolong by its rear edge in a wide flat partition (18) after which it ends in a symmetrical head (1 '), provided with the corresponding trim cover (13 '), as shown in the Figure 2, so that this second head (1 ') is attachable a second flexible sheet (2) or, as in the example of practical embodiment depicted in Figure 2, a panel (19), which constitutes the other operational side of the label, which can be of any appropriate nature, and that in any case is fixed by the corresponding cover (13 ').
