Abstract

Display stand with mobile panels for wall and floor tiles includes an assembly formed of a coupling between the belt or equivalent device for traction and the panel, able to temporarily house a ball under the pressure of a spring, which is located between two sets of resilient stops. Thus, stopping the motor allows the panel to be moved by a manual effort taking the ball out of the housing in the part connected to the panel.

Claims

1. Display stand with arrangement for controlling movement of mobile panels for wall and floor tiles, comprising:

a device having a coupling for releasably coupling a panel to the device,

a driven belt which is coupled to the device so that belt movement is passed on to said device, and

an arrangement for releasing the coupling from the panel to which the panel is temporarily connected, and for reconnecting the connection of said coupling to said panel when the panel has been separated from said device.

2. Display stand, according to claim 1, wherein the arrangement for releasing and reconnecting the device to the coupling includes:

a recess in a part of the device,

a ball, and

a spring which applies pressure to the ball, so that the ball is fixed in the corresponding part of the device.

3. Display stand, according to claim 2, wherein the spring is calibrated according to the weight of the panel.

4. Display stand, according to claim 2, further comprising a tightening device which determines a variable pressure of the spring, depending on a pressure that said device exerts on the spring.

5. Display stand, according to claim 1, further comprising stop supports on both sides of the device.

6. Display stand, according to claim 5, further comprising rubber stops on both sides at the stop supports.

7. Display stand, according to claim 6, wherein after separating the coupling from the device, the support drags the at least one said stop support and the corresponding rubber stop.

8. Display stand, according to claim 6, wherein the respective rubber stop and the stop support retain the device fixed to the belt at the end of travel thereof.

9. Display stand, according to claim 6, wherein the stops are adapted to be mutually independent, and have a complementary configuration, a first said stop with a first said stop support, and a second said stop with a second said stop support, so that the stop supports are complementary, and are insertable and separable from the device.

10. The display stand, according to claim 1, further comprising:

a set of rails corresponding to the panels, and

a remote control, which determines selective or non-selective programmed display of different presentation models of the panels, proportionally occupying a space available, by at least one of;

a timed display of all the panels, and

a timed display of a selection of panels, and alternating with a period of time in which the panels are withdrawn, showing a fixed information panel set out behind the display stand.

11. The display stand, according to claim 10, in which the display stand is displayed on the inside of a shop window, the display stand further comprising an electronically sensitive sensor adapted to command any of a plurality of the devices for movement and display from outside of a shop and through a glass window thereof.
