Description

[0001] The invention relates to a presentation device according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Presentation devices with at least one display for products to be presented, in particular high-quality products such as jewelry, are known. The housing of the presentation device is generally cuboid-shaped with a top and a bottom. At least one viewing window is arranged between the top and bottom. The housing is mounted on a turntable and can be moved about a rotational axis. This allows all sides of the housing to be viewed one after the other from a fixed location. The at least one display is known to be manufactured using an injection molding process with individual recesses. The plastic display is covered with velvet, and individual presentation plugs can be inserted into the recesses. The presentation plug is a disposable item made of cardboard covered with velvet. Individual products are arranged on the presentation plug.The presentation plug is given to the customer along with the products at the time of sale.

[0003] DE202004001742U1 discloses a rotating display case for presenting, among other things, jewelry items. The display case comprises a column mounted for rotation within a housing formed by a frame and glass panels. Furthermore, the column has several displays.

[0004] This well-known design has the disadvantage that it is very complex to manufacture and requires the constant provision of display plugs in the salesroom. This is very costly.

[0005] Furthermore, DE7917982U1 discloses a decorative stand. The decorative stand has two stacked discs, connected to each other by one or more permanent magnets. Jewelry can be placed and displayed on each of the discs. This means that the jewelry is only displayed on the surfaces of the discs. A space-saving display, for example, in a vertical direction, is not possible.

[0006] US2009 / 0227138A1 discloses a jewelry display with a base body featuring cutouts, holes, hooks, and branches for presenting jewelry. The base body is designed, in particular, as a tree trunk, into which numerous branches and hooks are inserted into corresponding cutouts. The branches have holes, and the trunk also has hooks for the jewelry. Inserting the branches into the base body and attaching the jewelry to the branches makes exchanging jewelry or branches very laborious.

[0007] DE202016006693U1 discloses a jewelry display with a presentation wall, where jewelry trays and picture frames can be connected to the presentation wall via magnetic fasteners. The jewelry tray is designed such that a variety of jewelry items can be arranged and displayed on the jewelry tray. A disadvantage is that jewelry items can only be displayed on two sides of the presentation wall.

[0008] US2020 / 205586A1 discloses a wall-mounted display device comprising a display panel and a base panel connected to each other via an adhesive strip. The base panel is magnetic. The display panel has several receptacles for connecting elements for directly or indirectly arranging jewelry on the display panel. The connecting elements are connected to the base panel via a magnet.

[0009] It is therefore the object of the invention to further develop a presentation device according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that, while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned, the presentation device can be more easily adapted to the needs and is designed to be more sustainable as a whole.

[0010] This problem is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1 in conjunction with the generic features.

[0011] In a known manner, a presentation device comprises a housing that includes a column with at least one display for products to be presented, in particular high-quality products such as jewelry. The column is arranged within the housing. The housing has a top and a bottom, and in particular at least one transparent viewing panel arranged therebetween. The housing is rotatably mounted. The display is provided with at least one recess into which a presentation plug can be inserted, which has an anchoring area adapted to the recess.

[0012] According to the invention, the presentation plug is detachably connected to the display via a magnetic connection in the recess. The display is formed from two plates lying one above the other. The plates consist of a base plate and a presentation plate. The presentation plate is arranged on the side facing the transparent viewing window. By forming the display from two different plates, both plates can meet different requirements. The base plate is ferromagnetic. The presentation plate can be paramagnetic, for example from aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The presentation plate has at least one recess for the anchoring area of ​​the presentation plug. The presentation plug can be easily connected to the presentation plate via the anchoring area. The anchoring area has a magnet.The magnet creates a secure, non-destructive magnetic connection between the anchoring area and the base plate, which can also be easily removed. A set of different presentation plates is provided, which can be removably connected to the base plate as needed. By providing different production plates, different recess arrangements can be realized as needed. The set of different presentation plates includes presentation plates with different shapes and recess arrangements, as well as one presentation plate that has no recesses but is equipped with hooks permanently arranged on the presentation plate.This results in a great deal of variability in order to meet the needs. Preferably, the set of different presentation plates has a plate without recesses with hooks fixed on the presentation plate.

[0013] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the base plate and the display plate are connected to each other via an adhesive bond, in particular double-sided adhesive tape. This connection ensures good stability and easy removal, for example, for replacement or repair. Furthermore, volume and weight are saved.

[0014] To ensure a robust basic structure of the presentation device, the base plate is made of steel.

[0015] A flexible yet impact-resistant surface can be ensured if the base plate is powder-coated.

[0016] The presentation board is preferably anodized and powder-coated. Powder-coating and anodizing the surface protects the presentation board from external influences.

[0017] Preferably, the at least one recess in the display is created in the presentation panel by laser cutting. Laser cutting enables a precise and fast process for producing the recess.

[0018] Preferably, the at least one recess has a rectangular, in particular square, shape. The presentation plug is thereby positively secured against twisting under load relative to the display.

[0019] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one recess is provided for accommodating different display plugs, each with a similarly designed anchoring area. This allows display plugs of different shapes and dimensions to be easily connected to the display panel, thus allowing different products and / or product sizes to be presented.

[0020] Preferably, a set of different presentation connectors, such as cartridges and pins, is provided. This provides different presentation connectors depending on the application requirements.

[0021] Preferably, the display plug is configured with an anchoring area and a presentation area for attaching products to be presented. The anchoring area and the presentation area can be configured differently and according to their functionality.

[0022] To simplify production, the anchoring area and the presentation area are formed as a single piece.

[0023] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the display area has at least one hook. The hook allows products to be easily arranged in the display area.

[0024] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the set of different display panels comprises a display panel with only one recess open at the top. Specific products can then be arranged over the recess, allowing them to be more effectively presented.

[0025] Preferably, the holder extends essentially over the entire width of the presentation plate.

[0026] Preferably, the hooks are arranged in a row in the upper area of ​​the presentation plate.

[0027] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the row of hooks extends substantially over the entire width.

[0028] Preferably, the base plate has a fastening device for the column on the side facing away from the display panel, for example in the form of at least two hooks, via which the base plate can be detachably connected to the column. This ensures a simple and stable connection between the base plate and the column.

[0029] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the column is cuboid-shaped. This cuboid shape simplifies the column's manufacturing process.

[0030] Further advantages, features and possible applications of the present invention will become apparent from the following description in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the drawings.
