Description

Title of the invention: MODULAR SUPPORT FOR SIGNAGE

[0001] SCOPE OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to a modular support for signage, decoration, photography...

[0003] DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

[0004] Signage is the industrial branch that is dedicated to the manufacture and installation of pictograms or signage panels for users.

[0005] Different supports for these pictograms are specific realizations for standardized dimensions of these pictograms, and in specific positions several times, because these are generally conditions imposed by regulations of a certain type, such as for example accessibility or fire protection.

[0006] Consequently, current supports have this design limitation which prevents them from expanding or diversifying their usefulness. Furthermore, if the pictogram is damaged, it may be necessary to replace the entire assembly, the support and the pictogram, a drawback which is resolved with the modular support of the invention.

[0007] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The modular signage support of the invention comprises a modular upright, which includes forks equipped with means for retaining a laminar signage element; and the upright comprising means for fixing to the final location.

[0009] In this way, the post can be installed, alone or in multiple assemblies with others, on the site of use, and the forks allow any type of pictogram to be fixed in a removable manner, even of dimensions greater than those standardized for any type of signage, or to make compositions with different pictograms in assemblies with several posts, or to easily replace damaged pictograms or pictograms with different indications.

[0016] DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED MODES OF IMPLEMENTING THE INVENTION

[0017] The modular signage support (1) of the invention comprises a modular upright (2) including forks (3) equipped with means for retaining a laminar signage element (4); and the upright (2) including means for fixing to the final location.

[0018] Preferably, the upright (2) comprises a straight piece with an outer face (20) (see [Fig. 1] and 5) in which the forks (3) are arranged. This allows for assemblies with several uprights in a line, or for arranging the uprights in a line to attach larger pictograms. Preferably, the retaining means provided in the forks (3) comprise first set screws (30) arranged in threaded holes (31) in one of its arms, the opposite arm comprising a bearing area (32) for the laminar element (4) being pressed by the tips of the first set screws (30). This embodiment allows for a strong, quick, and simple fastening.

[0019] In addition, trim flaps (5) with fixings (adhesive for example) can be arranged on the uprights (2) to improve the aesthetics (see [Fig.4]).

[0020] In a first embodiment (see [Fig. 1] and 2), the means for fixing the upright (2) in its final location include suspension cables (6) (or rods), and anchors (7) for said cables or rods to the ceiling. These anchors (7) comprise parts that can be fixed to the ceiling with holes (71) for the passage of the corresponding suspension cable (6) (or rod), with second screws (72) without heads for the upper locking of the cables, and in which the upright (2) further has holes (28) with third transverse screws (21) without heads for the insertion and lower locking of the cables (see [Fig. 1]), which allows the upright to be leveled.

[0021] In another embodiment (see [Fig. 3A], 3B and 4), the means for fixing the upright (2) in its final position comprise lateral clips (25) and a piece (26) that can be screwed to the wall and has bosses (27) that complement said lateral clips (25). This embodiment allows the upright to be fixed laterally, instead of being suspended.

[0022] As shown in [Fig.4], the holes (28) also serve to make multiple assemblies or next to adjacent uprights of modular shape, for which the arrangement of a jig (9) formed of a flat piece with two holes (90) that can be aligned with the extreme holes (28) of adjacent uprights (2) is preferred for their fixing in modular configuration by other additional screws, not shown, in which the jig cooperates to maintain the design position between modules.

[0023] Finally, indicate that it is preferable that the amount (2), in one of its embodiments, be materialized in polycarbonate, or any other type of material, plastic, 3D metal...)

[0024] After having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way of carrying it out in practice, it must now be emphasized that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are liable to undergo detailed modifications provided that the fundamental principle is not altered.
