DESCRIPTION

MODULAR SUPPORT FOR SIGNAGE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a modular support for signage, decoration, photography...

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Signage is the industrial branch dedicated to the manufacture and installation of pictograms or signs for users.

Various supports for these pictograms are specific designs for standardized dimensions of the same, and often in specific positions, since they are usually conditions imposed by regulations of some kind, such as accessibility or fire protection.

For this reason, current supports have this design limitation that prevents them from expanding or diversifying their use. In addition, in the event of deterioration of the pictogram, it may be necessary to replace the entire set, support and pictogram, a drawback that is solved with the modular support of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The modular support for signage of the invention comprises a modular upright, which comprises forks provided with means for retaining a signage laminar element; and the upright comprises means for fixing it in the final location.

In this way, the upright can be installed, alone or in multiple assemblies with others, at the site of use, and the forks allow any type of pictogram to be removably fixed, even with dimensions larger than those standardized for any type of signage, or to make compositions with different pictograms in assemblies with several uprights, or to replace damaged pictograms or those with different indications, with ease.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The modular support (1) for signage of the invention comprises a modular upright (2) comprising forks (3) provided with means for retaining a laminar element (4) of signage; and the upright (2) comprising means for fixing it in the final location.

Preferably, the upright (2) comprises a straight piece with an outer face (20) (see figs. 1 and 5) on which the forks (3) are arranged. This allows for assemblies with several uprights in a line, or for the uprights to be arranged in a line to fix larger pictograms. For its part, it is preferred that the retention means provided in the forks (3) comprise first set screws (30) arranged in threaded holes (31) of one of its branches, the opposite branch comprising a support area (32) of the laminar element (4) when pressed by the tip of the first set screws (30). This embodiment allows a strong, fast and simple fixing.

Additionally, decorative flaps (5) provided with fixings (adhesive for example) can be arranged on the uprights (2) to improve the aesthetics (see fig. 4).

In a first embodiment (see figs. 1 and 2), the means for fixing the upright (2) in the final location comprise suspension cables (6) (or rods), and anchors (7) for said cables or rods to the ceiling. These anchors (7) comprise pieces that can be fixed (70) to the ceiling with holes (71) for the passage of the corresponding suspension cable (6) (or rod), with second set screws (72) for upper locking of the cables, and where the upright (2) also has holes (28) with third set screws (21) that are transverse for insertion and lower locking of the cables (see fig. 1), which allows the upright to be leveled.

In another embodiment (see figs. 3A, 3B and 4), the means for fixing the upright (2) in the final location comprise lateral claws (25) and a piece (26) that can be screwed to the wall and provided with projections (27) complementary to said lateral claws (25). This embodiment allows the upright to be fixed laterally, instead of suspended.

As seen in Fig. 4, the holes (28) also serve to make multiple assemblies or together with adjacent uprights in a modular manner, for which the provision of a template (9) formed by a flat piece with two holes (90) that can be aligned with the end holes (28) of adjacent uprights (2) for their fixing in a modular configuration by means of other additional screws, not shown, where the template cooperates in maintaining the design position between modules is preferred.

Finally, it is preferred that the upright (2), in any of its embodiments, be made of polycarbonate, or any other type of material, plastic, metallic 3d...

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the manner of carrying it out in practice, it must be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications in detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
