Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model aims to provide an improved label bracket profile. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, with the advancement of technology, new versions and variations of products that implement innovative functions and features continue to appear on the market of electronic labels and their holders. This also applies to electronic labels, which are increasingly being adopted by companies, commercial institutions, commercial chains and supermarkets to take full advantage of the new technology of paper labels.

[0003] However, in order to showcase the new version and for marketing purposes, the new electronic tag has an external configuration of its housing containing the electronics and having an information display on one side of the electronic tag that is different from previous electronic tags, so the bracket and connection profile are not compatible with the bracket of the previous electronic tag.

[0004] In particular, a new type of label has recently been introduced which has a rectangular shape with a rectilinear perimeter frame without sharp edges, a rounded front part connected to the front display and a rear part with a slightly scaled frame profile and having only two coupling elements, the first one located in the center of the upper wall, corresponding to a small tooth of limited extension, and the second one located on the lower wall, corresponding to a groove along the entire length of the profile.

[0005] Even though it is relatively simple to create a complementary shape to match, profile suppliers offer profiles with new features and easy application for the new electronic tags.

[0006] Obviously, new features and conveniences, or improvements to existing features, cannot come at the expense of the characteristics of previous bracket profiles, such as protection against lateral sliding, accidental disengagement, and the possibility of tilting.

[0007] Improved features typically relate to ergonomics, ease of installation and movement, protection against accidental removal, compatibility with accessories, low production costs, and the ability to accommodate different tilt angles in the installation environment.

[0008] All of the above characteristics obviously have to be maintained over time, so that the new stent has to be extremely reliable in the long term. Utility Model Content

[0042] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the device of the present invention comprises a label holder profile 10 connected to a track 1 .

[0043] Track 1 is a profile with longitudinal extension, fixed to the front of the sales shelf, serving as a support surface for displaying goods for sale. Possibly, due to its extremely flexible minimalist nature and low moment of inertia, Track 1 can easily decorate furniture with curved profiles without affecting the structural beauty.

[0044] Finally, the track 1 can have a double variation and can be adjacent along the longitudinal edges, fixed at an angle to a vertical or horizontal surface and present the label or label holder in a suitable tilted manner for the user to consult and read.

[0045] The rail 1 is connected to a shelf or a fixed structure via its rear side 4 ; a front side 5 opposite the rear side 4 faces outwards, towards the user.

[0046] If necessary, the front side 5 can extend symmetrically along the longitudinal edges of the symmetrical wings 2 , 3 .

[0047] The wings 2, 3 each have an outer edge 6, 7 and an inner edge 8, 9; the inner edge faces the surface of the fixing rail. The wings 2, 3 and their edges provide elements for connecting the label holder profile 10 to the rail 1.

[0048] If desired, the track may correspond to an end edge of a shelf, the edge facing the interior of the aisle in which the shelf is located.

[0049] The label holder profile 10 can be a longitudinally extending profile, which basically has a first surface 11 facing the track and a second surface 12 opposite to the first surface 11, the latter holding the electronic label 13 and facing both sides of the shelf channel with the track.

[0050] The second surface 12 is provided with an attachment device 14 for holding an electronic label or other products that need to be held and can be viewed by a user.

[0051] The first face 11 is provided with first connection means 15 for connection to the wings 2 , 3 of the rail 1 .

[0052] The connecting means 14 comprise teeth 16 and 17 or a curved recessed arrangement with the end edges of the second face, connected together by flexible curved spacers 18 .

[0053] The curved spacer 18 extends toward a configuration close to a straight line arrangement, so that the teeth 16 , 17 move away from each other, increasing the distance between them, thereby allowing the electronic tag 13 to be inserted.

[0054] The teeth 16, 17 approach each other and the curved surface configuration of the second surface 12 is restored, which retains the electronic tag inserted into the second surface. The teeth 16, 17 keep the electronic tag 13 supported side by side on the upper and lower edges 19, 20, or the upper or lower front edge contours 21, 22.

[0055] The electronic tag 13 is held by the teeth 16, 17 on the side or front part of the tag, and is prevented from moving longitudinally along the profile of the tag holder by a fixing device for preventing lateral movement made of elastic material protruding from the outer wall of the second face 12, and the shape is similar to the raised flap 23 protruding from the outer wall of the second face. The elastic material can bend and remain close to the rear wall 24 of the tag 13, counteracting the sliding of the tag 13 on the profile 10.

[0056] Advantageously, the material of the raised petals 23 is an anti-slip rubber material, or a material having a grip that prevents the label 13 from moving along the label holder profile 13 .

[0057] Advantageously, the configuration of the raised petals 23 is sufficiently separated from the curved spacer sheet 18 to allow entry and retention of the peripheral edge of a paper label 25 upon application of slight pressure to the curved spacer sheet 18 .

[0058] After the upper edge of the paper label 25 enters the holding area between the curved spacer 18 and the end of the raised flap 23, it is held tightly against the curved spacer 18 by the operator pushing its middle and across its lower edge to contact the lower teeth / attachment 17 of the second side 12 of the label holder profile 10.

[0059] Advantageously, by means of the bridge 26 at the top end of the wall facing between the first and second faces and the tilting means, the inclination of the second face 12 of the label holder profile 10 relative to the first face 11 can be easily adjusted.

[0060] The tilting means comprises a laminar spacer 27 and one or more appendages 28 .

[0061] The appendage 28 is a laminar element detached from the back of the second face 12 .

[0062] Detached from the bridge 26 is a lamellar spacer 27 which is connected to an appendage 28 having an end enlargement, via a plastic hinge at the bridge 26, to form a support rod of variable length.
