DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to the fields;
In known devices in the field of card indexes and plannings displayed in adjacent vertical columns, the elements to be displayed called cards are introduced one above the other in superimposed slots. They are held in position by a wider head part bearing on the ends of the slots (card index with stubs).
If it is desired to insert a new card in a filled column in order to free a slot it is necessary beforehand to manually move a notch and one by one all those situated below or above the one chosen.
In other up-datable card index models, independent elements support the same stub cards. They are stacked one above the other in vertical slideways.
To remove an element from a column it is necessary with one hand to raise the stack situated above and with the other remove the carrier element, leaving an empty space which will be immediately reoccupied by the descent of the elements above.
For inserting a new element with one hand the stack above must be raised and with the other the new element introduced.
The change of position of the card requires each time these two successive handling operations. In a card index with a cascading operation these frequent handling operations are slow and tiresome.
The device of the invention allows these drawbacks in different fields to be remedied.
In that of frequently evolutive card indexes modifying the classification of the card displayed.
In work control, delivery, etc schedules which are organized as the orders of commands arrive. The documents: work vouchers, delivery vouchers, able to be displayed and made mobile and their order easily brought up to date.
It brings new possibilities in the field of remotely visible panels with classification display modified by successive sequences. Individual sporting test results, for example.
It may also find an interest in number and letter handling games.
Generally, the device of the invention is characterized in that it is formed of two sorts of distinct elements, namely: may be called slideways supporting the first ones.
Different variants concerning these elements and relating to the present invention provide adaptation to the field of use and to the particular application requirements. forming a slideway having a bottom and two flanges, which may be called slideways.
According to the application these slideways may be permanently fixed and adjacent so as to form a wall mounted holder or display table.
They may also be independent, or belong to the same support on which they are hooked while remaining movable, which allows their position to be modified with respect to each other.
These slideways serve both as guide and as support for the mobile elements. For this, the slideway flanges have projections called teeth, pegs or spurs. They are disposed one below the other, the spacing of the supports determining the displayed width of the elements which are there positioned.
The mobile elements are formed: displayed in the upper part and hidden for the part introduced behind the element positioned below.
The inscriptions may be written on the surface itself provided that it is readily erasable so as to ensure the continual reutilization of the element, or be written on independent supports applied to the flat surface, or adhesive, or clipped at the top, or retained by slides integral with this element.
When they are carried by vertical slideways, the upper part of the surface of these elements is notched below the head so as to allow this latter to move away without being retained by the spur which was guided it up to this support. Which is not necessary when the slide ways are inclined, since they do not have any spur.
Of a head which may either be formed from the same material as the fixed part or be an added and secured piece. This head allowing the mobile element to bear on two pegs, spurs or teeth of the same level and whose essential characteristics obtained by the form which is given are: the element is caused as far as the pegs situated below. one below which it moves aside for r
