DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
STATE OF THE PRIOR ART
The invention relates to a presentation tableau on which to mount objects such as wrist watches, whereby each of these objects at least partially encompasses a removable mounting which can be fitted into a recess on the presentation tableau.
Today it is necessary to offer potential customers goods as comprehensively as possible, without thereby being obliged to increase the number of sales personnel. If is thus necessary, especially in the case of small but high-value objects to protect then from theft. There are therefore already in existance glass showcase fronts behind which wrist watches or similar objects are displayed. However, glass showcases have the disadvantage of being relatively expensive. Moreover, the glass surfaces must be very frequently cleaned, since otherwise the showcases become unattractive. Another disadvantage is that the customer cannot directly touch goods displayed in this manner, a necessity which has a positive effect on any decision to buy. Of course, it is possible to use chains to protect wrist watches in particular from uncontrolled removal from presentation cases or similar.
However, treatment in this way is not only inconvenient but also engenders an atmosphere or mistrust toward the potential customer, which is something that must be avoided.
Aim of the Invention
The aim of this invention is to design a presentation tableau (presentation case) of the type described above, in which objects especially such as wrist watches can be openly offered for sale and, at the same time, protected from uncontrolled removal without this precaution being obvious to the potential customer.
The aim is achieved in that arranged inside the presentation tableau and in its bottom region is at least one sliding element, which interacts with at least one segment projecting from a display holder fitted into the presentation tableau. A suitable projection preferably takes the form of flat, rectangular-section leg, which extends towards the bottom of the presentation tableau preferably in a guide. The lateral edges of this leg are now provided with notches, which interact with the sliding element such that the display holder can either be removed or is secured against theft, as desired at the time. Each display holder preferably has two mutually parallel legs extending from the central section of said display holder. A section of the object mounted on the display holder, e.g, the strap of a wrist watch, then runs between the legs. The sliding element, which can also be referred to as the locking element, is let into a plate-shaped element which can be shifted along the bottom of the presentation tableau, and which represents a specially emphasized design feature of the invention. Thus two mutually interlinked cutouts per sliding element or locking element are provided in the plate-shaped element; hereby on the one hand, the transition region between these cutouts and, on the other hand, one end section thereof form projections which interact with the notches in the legs. Consequently, the widths of the individual cutouts outside the projections are selected larger than those of the legs. In the unlocked position, the free ends of the legs lie within the cutouts without being restricted by them. Conversely, in the secured position, the projections of the sliding or locking element engage in the notches such that the display holder cannot be taken out of the presentation tableau.
The aim is further solved in that inside the presentation tableau and extending along its bottom surface is a sliding element with rod-shaped projections extending from its sides, each of these rod-shaped elements being allocated to one of the display holders fitted into the presentation case. By means of the sliding element and the devices projecting from it (which can be referred to as `fingers`) the display holder, enclosed by an object such as wrist watch, can be secured in such a way that it cannot be covertly removed from the presentation tableau. The display holder cannot be removed until the s
