Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an advertising system for large-format outdoor advertising (Euro format), in particular for manual poster advertising with poster paper, as well as for the attachment of fixed advertising panels made of Alu-Dibond, in the area of ​​parking lots, at consumer markets or heavily frequented outdoor areas.

[0002] Common aluminum advertising displays are predominantly designed as plank or louver systems, in which several individual aluminum profiles or planks are arranged side by side and connected to each other. Such multi-part constructions result in joints, butt joints, and transitions within the advertising surface, leading to an uneven surface.

[0003] These joints and transitions negatively affect the adhesion of the poster paper and, especially when exposed to weather, promote peeling, undermining, or tearing of the poster. Furthermore, the large number of individual components and connecting elements increases the installation effort and the susceptibility to mechanical damage.

[0004] The advertising system according to the invention differs from this in that the advertising surface does not consist of a multitude of individual planks or slats, but of a substantially flat, two-part advertising surface made of aluminum, which is designed as a continuous adhesive surface.

[0005] By constructing the advertising surface as a two-part, large-area adhesive surface, a largely seamless surface is provided, enabling uniform and permanent adhesion of poster paper. At the same time, the mechanical stability of the advertising display is increased and the installation and maintenance costs are reduced.

[0006] The present utility model is based on the task of providing an advertising system that meets the increased demands for sustainability, durability, modularity and resilience, especially in outdoor areas - such as parking lots.

[0007] Therefore, it was necessary to develop a system that: • Recyclable and reusable, • Insensitivity to external influences • to ensure better adhesion of poster paper to the substrate, • and offers the possibility to add functional components without major effort.

[0008] The invention achieves the possibility of recycling or reusing the material used. Insensitivity to external influences is achieved through the application of galvanizing in combination with a powder coating to the steel components ( Fig. 1+ Fig. 2 (2)+(4)) and the use of a two-part aluminum adhesive surface ( Fig. 1+ Fig. 2, (1)). The materials and coatings used ensure weather resistance, as no moisture is absorbed and the material does not warp in wind, rain, frost, or heat. This also prevents the formation of mold and rot. Furthermore, it provides enhanced fire protection and minimizes the risk of vandalism. Improved adhesion of poster paper to the substrate is achieved through the use of a two-part aluminum surface, which, compared to a slatted surface, has fewer joints. This prevents external influences such as moisture or wind from penetrating behind the poster and causing it to detach. The provision of prefabricated components significantly simplifies installation for third-party companies. All parts are pre-cut to size and simply need to be screwed together. In particular, the wall-mounted advertising system ( Fig.2) can be easily mounted using the continuously adjustable anchor plates (5). Components such as the lamp (3) can be mounted without much effort using a plug-in system.

[0009] The following drawings are attached to the description for further illustration: Drawing 1: Representation of the advertising structure in the freestanding version with a two-part aluminum surface and attached steel beams. Drawing 2: Illustration of the advertising structure in wall mounting. The structure is attached directly to a building wall and shows the alternative mounting option without ground anchoring. Drawing 3: Detailed representation of the anchor plate used in wall mounting, which serves to securely connect the steel beams to the building wall.
