Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a foldable or collapsible advertising display, particularly for use at the point of sale, at trade fairs, promotional events, and in high-traffic public areas. The display combines the advantages of space-saving transport and storage with high stability when set up, as well as modular expandability through additional modules such as flyer dispensers. Furthermore, the design allows for extremely quick, tool-free assembly and disassembly by a single person. State of the art

[0002] Various types of advertising displays are known from current technology. Roll-up systems feature a spring-loaded metal mechanism that rolls up a flexible front panel within a base element. These systems are expensive to manufacture, prone to mechanical failure, and, due to the combination of materials, only partially recyclable.

[0003] Cardboard displays or stands, folded from flat sheets, are also common. While these solutions are inexpensive, they offer limited stability, have limited reusability, and do not allow for modular expansion.

[0004] None of the known systems combines a foldable front panel, a foldable back support with a hinge, different connecting devices, additional safety mechanisms, and the optional integration of dispenser modules in a single design that also enables particularly quick, tool-free assembly and disassembly. Object of the invention

[0005] The invention is based on the objective of providing an advertising display that: - can be converted into a flat transport configuration - ensures high stability when erected, - can be mounted using different connecting devices, - is secured against unintentional release, - optionally allows the inclusion of modular dispensers - can be manufactured from recyclable or bio-based materials, - can be used both indoors and outdoors, and - can be assembled and disassembled without tools by a single person in just a few steps. Solution

[0006] This task is solved by an advertising display featuring the characteristics of the claims.

[0007] The invention comprises a front panel (1) which is divided into several segments (3) via folding lines (2) and can therefore be transferred between a transport configuration (8) and a setup configuration (9).

[0008] The fold lines (2) can be created by scoring, punching, milling, perforating, hinge strips, or by applying adhesive or textile tapes. This allows the front panel (1) to be folded into multiple parts and transported in a space-saving manner.

[0009] A back support (4) is arranged on the rear side, which is also foldable and remains connected to the front panel (1) during transport. The back support (4) is preferably made in one piece and has lateral folding segments which are folded inwards when the device is set up and fixed by means of at least one hinge (5), thus creating a stable support geometry.

[0010] The connection between the front panel (1) and the back support (4) is preferably detachable, in particular by means of hook and loop fasteners, magnetic connections, tabs, hooks, latches, plug connections, sliding profiles or tongue and groove connections. Combinations of several connecting means are possible.

[0011] To increase operational safety, a safety device (7) is provided to prevent the front panel (1) from unintentionally detaching from the back support (4). This safety device can be designed as a tab (7a), as a combination of adhesive and hook-and-loop fastener (7b), or as a form-fitting latch with slot guide (7c).

[0012] The front panel (1) preferably has a height of approximately 1850 mm and a width of approximately 800 mm. Alternatively, heights in the range of 1600 mm to 2400 mm and widths in the range of 500 mm to 1000 mm may be provided.

[0013] The front panel (1) and the back support (4) preferably consist of recyclable materials, in particular cardboard honeycomb panels, paper honeycomb panels, plastic hollow chamber panels, recycled plastics or bio-based composite materials. Preferred material thicknesses are 3 mm or 5 mm, and 3.5 mm for the back support (4), although thicknesses between 2 mm and 19 mm may alternatively be used.

[0014] The front panel (1) is printable on its front side, in particular by means of digital printing, screen printing or offset printing, and is finished in a single color, preferably black, on the back side. The back support (4) is finished entirely in a single color, preferably black.

[0015] Optionally, the front panel (1) has at least one slot opening (10) into which a flyer dispenser module (11) with mounting tabs (12) can be inserted. The number of slot openings (10) can be one, two, or more. Several flyer dispenser modules (11) can be arranged side by side or one above the other.

[0016] For outdoor use, the stand can be additionally equipped with weighting elements, especially foldable water canisters, to ensure sufficient stability even under wind loads. Advantages of the invention

[0017] The invention is characterized in particular by the following advantages: - Compact transportability: Front panel (1) and back support (4) are foldable and form a compact unit in the transport configuration (8). - Quick assembly and disassembly: The stand requires no tools and can be moved from the transport to the setup configuration (9) by a single person in just a few steps. - Stability: The back support (4) is reliably fixed by the folding joint (5) and ensures stability even with large dimensions. - Flexibility: Different connecting elements (6a-6c and other variants) allow application-specific configurations. - Safety: Backstop mechanisms (7a-7c) prevent unintentional release. - Modularity: The optional slot openings (10) allow the use of flyer dispenser modules (11). - Design: Front-side printability and single-color reverse sides of the front panel (1), preferably black, and a completely single-color back support (4), preferably black, ensure a high-quality presentation and rear view. - Adaptability: Variable material thicknesses and dimensions (height 1600-2400 mm, width 500-1000 mm) expand the range of applications. - Sustainability: Recyclable or bio-based materials enable environmentally friendly production and disposal. - Suitability for outdoor use: Thanks to optional weighting elements, the stand is also suitable for outdoor use.
