DESCRIPTION

FOLDING EXHIBITOR

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a display of laminated cardboard, or similar material, for displaying products, normally in commercial premises. It has a parallelepiped-shaped configuration with a plurality of shelves for the location of the products to be displayed and has the particularity that, to facilitate transport and storage, the display folds down to have a flat configuration.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the current state of the art, laminated cardboard displays are known which, when not in use, fold up to be stored, occupying a reduced space.

However, many times the problem with these exhibitors is that the assembly is highly complex and requires a lot of time to be installed.

Document ES 1110005 U discloses a folding shelf that starts from a cardboard sheet to become a parallelepiped-shaped exhibitor with several shelves for placing products.

However, this exhibitor has the drawback that On the one hand, you have to unfold the shelves to install it and, on the other hand, the shelves are made up of a cardboard sheet divided into two pieces, so the resistance to the load is that supported by the cardboard sheet which, when not having a reinforcing structure, is very limited.

Document ES 2379334 A1 discloses a folding and self-assembling display made of cardboard sheets. This exhibitor is configured as a parallelepiped that incorporates a series of shelves for placing products. The shelves are fixed to one of the side walls of the display stand and rest on some projections on the opposite wall, so that both assembly and disassembly are extremely simple.

However, this very simplicity of assembly and disassembly implies that the load capacity of the shelves is very limited which, since they do not have reinforcements, is limited to the capacity of the cardboard sheet itself.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned above, the present invention describes a folding display, made of laminated material with the characteristics that will be mentioned below.

The exhibitor comprises a rear wall, rectangular in configuration, joined by each one of the longer sides to a side wall.

It also includes at least one shelf that includes a front face, a folding face and a support face, the three faces joined longitudinally, such that the support face is joined to the folding face by an initial edge and includes three edges. free, two lateral edges and one final edge.

The exhibitor also includes the following elements:

- at least one T-shaped opening located in each of the side walls facing each other.

- at least one crosspiece,

- at least one pair of supports, attached to the rear wall and each of the side walls, respectively,

In addition, the exhibitor presents the following characteristics:

- the front face of each of the shelves is fixed to the side walls by inserting each end into the corresponding vertical openings,

- the crosspiece is configured as an elongated body that ends in a pair of flaps at each end, deployed perpendicular to the elongated body, which are inserted into the T-shaped openings in the side walls,

- the crosspiece and the pair of supports form a flat surface for the support of the shelf without gaps.

On the other hand, the side wall is preferably made up of an interior side wall, where the grooves are located, and a smooth exterior side wall that, in addition to acting as a structural reinforcement for the display, also makes it more aesthetic, by preventing the visible grooves from the outside.

Also preferably, the display unit comprises a plurality of shelves, each of them being supported on the corresponding crossbars and pairs of supports.

Finally, to save storage space and to be able to locate the display, once folded, in a box of manageable dimensions, the walls include a folding line.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention avoids the current problems mentioned in the state of the art and discloses a display that, while incorporating crossbars (3) and supports (8) for holding the shelves (4), which configure it with a high load capacity simplifies assembly and disassembly time to the maximum, as all the components are integrated and without the need to look for them externally or their assembly location, leaving the exhibitor as a single piece.

As shown in figure 1, the exhibitor of the invention is made up of a rear wall (1) joined by its two longer sides to respective side walls (2). Each of the side walls (2), in turn, is made up of two sheets, one inside, for work, and the other outside, as a protective cover, to provide the aesthetic appearance of the display.

In this way, the exhibitor comprises five sheets: a rear one, attached on each side to a sheet that forms the smooth outer side wall (13), and each of these side walls exteriors (13) joined to another sheet, an interior side wall (12), in which the openings (9, 10) are housed for the placement of the shelves (4) of the exhibitor.

As indicated, the exhibitor comprises a series of shelves (4) intended to accommodate the products to be displayed.

The shelves (4) are made up of a front face (5), responsible for fixing them to the side walls (2) of the display, a support face (7), intended to receive the objects to be displayed, and a folding face (6), in charge of giving the support face (7) the location in height with respect to the front face (5).

The shelves (4) are fixed in some vertical openings (11) that incorporate the interior side walls (12). For this, the ends of the front faces (5) have an extension, not shown in the figures, which is inserted into the vertical openings (11). To facilitate this insertion, the vertical openings are much wider than the thickness of the extensions on the front faces (5), although they have a flap (15) which, once the extensions are inserted, folds to, on the one hand, , reinforce that the extensions do not get out of their position and, on the other hand, provide an aesthetic appearance to the exhibitor, without openings being seen.

In addition, the display also includes vertical openings (11), located on the interior side walls (12), and supports (8), located between the bottom of the display, between the interior side walls (12) and the rear wall ( 1), both elements used to support the shelves (4).

Thus, on the one hand, the interior side walls (12) incorporate T-shaped openings (10) intended to house the ends of the crosspieces (3). The characteristic shape of these T-shaped openings (10) is due to the fact that the crossbars (3) are made from a double sheet of cardboard, joined longitudinally, in which the ends are not joined, each forming a pair of fins (16). To be inserted into the T-shaped openings (10), the wings (16) at each end of the crossbar (3) are bent perpendicularly, towards opposite sides to be aligned, to be inserted through the respective wings of the T-shaped opening (10), while the body of the crosspiece (3) is inserted into the stem of the T-shaped opening (10). This configuration of the crosspiece (3) in the shape of a double T and of the way of assembling on the side wall (2) it provides greater stability and load capacity to the crossbar (3) than if it had a single fin (16), being configured in the shape of a C.

On the other hand, the exhibitor also includes supports (8) for supporting the shelves (4). These supports (8) are located in the corners between the rear wall (1) and the side walls (2). In addition, the supports (8) are also attached to a reinforcement (9), in such a way that it forms all the supports (8) as a single piece, giving them rigidity.

The crosspieces (3) have such a dimension that, when inserted into the T-shaped openings (10), they are positioned at the same height as the supports (8), forming a flat surface, so that the shelves (4) support on the crossbars (3) and on the supports (8) with no play.

Both the side walls (2) and the rear (1) also include a folding line (14) so that the display, once folded, does not take up too much space and, instead of needing a box the height of the display, you can be much smaller and take up less storage space.

In this way, when a user purchases the display of the invention, the display is folded by the walls (1, 2) with the front faces (5) of the shelves (4) already fixed to the side walls (2) and the crosspieces (3) already attached to the side walls (2).

To assemble it, the user will only have to unfold the display along the walls (1, 2) to position it upright, and unfold it to configure a parallelepiped shape, with the rear wall (1) perpendicular to the side walls (2). The front faces (5) of the shelves (4) are fixed to the side walls (2), leaving the shelves (4) hanging, so that they only have to be folded to position them on the crossbars (3) and the supports ( 8).

Since the depth of the display has a dimension greater than the separation between the shelves (4), the shelves (4), with the exception of the one located on top, which is completely visible, have a folding line so that they can be inserted between the side walls (2) without interfering with the upper shelf (4).

The display unit incorporates the shelves (4) already inserted in the vertical openings (11) on the front faces (5), as well as the crosspieces (3) that are also fixed in the T-shaped openings (10) of the side walls (2). .

In this way, starting from the display folded flat, normally inserted in a box, it is extracted from the box and unfolded in half, to have the entire height of the display, leaving the rear wall (1) as a continuation of one of the the side walls (2) and the other side wall (2) folded over it. The crossbars (3) are folded between the side walls (2) and the front face (5) of the shelves (4) remains in the same way as the rear wall (1), folded over one of the side walls (2 ) and as a continuation of the other. The support face (7) of the shelves (4) hangs outside the walls (1, 2) of the display case.

Once the display stand is upright, the walls (1, 2) are unfolded to form a parallelepiped, leaving the rear wall (1) perpendicular to the side walls (2).

Subsequently, all you have to do is fold the shelves (4) to insert them between the side walls (2) of the display and place the support faces (7) on the crosspieces (3) and on the supports (8).

To disassemble the display and fold it, proceed in reverse to assembly: fold the shelves (4) to extract them from between the side walls (2), fold the side walls (2) to leave them parallel to the rear wall (1) and fold the display along the walls (1, 2) to end up inserting it into a box.
