Abstract

A vehicle is provided with a clamping profile which is secured along a wall of the vehicle for clamping advertising material to the vehicle, wherein the clamping profile is provided with a flexible lip which connects under pre-tension to the wall of the vehicle. Advertising material in the form of a sheet can be secured and/or replaced quickly and easily on such a vehicle. The flexible lip of the clamping profile counteracts the unsightly accumulation of dirt, prevents the securing of the profile on the surface from being affected and the profile cannot be caught in the wind.

Claims

1. A vehicle (1), provided with a clamping profile (2) which is secured along a wall (3) of the vehicle for the clamping of advertising material (4) to that wall (3), characterised in that the clamping profile (2) is provided with a flexible lip (5) which is connected under pre-tension to the wall (3) of the vehicle.

3. The vehicle (1) according to claim 1, wherein four clamping profiles (2) are fixed relative to the wall (3) of the vehicle, which clamping profiles (2) form the respective sides of a rectangle, and wherein the size of that rectangle corresponds mainly to the size of the advertising material (4).

5. A clamping profile (2) for clamping advertising material (4) for application to a vehicle (1) according to claim 1, comprising a basic part (9), a leg (10) tightly connected to the basic part (9) and a hinged leg (11) connected to the basic part, wherein the fixed leg (10) has a securing face (12) for securing the clamping profile to a surface (1, 3, 6), and wherein the hinged leg (11) can be moved between an open position for inserting/removing the advertising material (4) and a closed position for clamping the advertising material (4) between the hinged leg (11) and the fixed leg (10), characterised in that the basic part (9) is provided with a flexible lip (5) which extends beyond the securing face (12) of the basic part (9).

6. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 5, wherein the basic part (9) is U-shaped.

7. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 5, wherein the fixed leg (10) has a clamping face (13) which comprises a stiff material.

8. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 5, wherein the clamping face (13) is provided with a flange (14) which forms a stop for the advertising material (4).

9. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 5, wherein the outside (15) of the hinged leg (11) is convex.

10. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 5, wherein the securing face (12) of the basic part (9) is provided with an adhesive means (16).

11. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 5, wherein the clamping profile (2) is an integral element of plastic that is formed by extrusion.

12. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 11, wherein the basic part (9) and the legs (10, 11), comprise hard PVC, wherein the basic part (9) and the hinged leg (1) are connected in an articulated fashion by a flexible connection (17) which consists of TPU, wherein the clamping face (13) of the basic part comprises TPU, and wherein the flexible lip (5) comprises soft PVC.

15. The vehicle according to claim 3, wherein the plate-shaped carrier (6) is provided with an impression (8) on the side facing away from the vehicle.

19. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 6, wherein the fixed leg (10) has a clamping face (13) which comprises a stiff material.

20. The clamping profile (2) according to claim 6, wherein the clamping face (13) is provided with a flange (14) which forms a stop for the advertising material (4).

2. The vehicle (1) according to claim 2, wherein a plate-shaped carrier (6) is provided and the clamping profile (2) is secured to an edge of that plate-shaped carrier (6).

4. The vehicle according to claim 2, wherein the plate-shaped carrier (6) is provided with an impression (8) on the side facing away from the vehicle.

14. The vehicle (1) according to claim 2, wherein four clamping profiles (2) are fixed relative to the wall (3) of the vehicle, which clamping profiles (2) form the respective sides of a rectangle, and wherein the size of that rectangle corresponds mainly to the size of the advertising material (4).

16. A clamping profile (2) for clamping advertising material (4) for application to a vehicle (1) according to claim 2, comprising a basic part (9), a leg (10) tightly connected to the basic part (9) and a hinged leg (11) connected to the basic part, wherein the fixed leg (10) has a securing face (12) for securing the clamping profile to a surface (1, 3, 6), and wherein the hinged leg (11) can be moved between an open position for inserting/removing the advertising material (4) and a closed position for clamping the advertising material (4) between the hinged leg (11) and the fixed leg (10), characterised in that the basic part (9) is provided with a flexible lip (5) which extends beyond the securing face (12) of the basic part (9).

17. A clamping profile (2) for clamping advertising material (4) for application to a vehicle (1) according to claim 2, comprising a basic part (9), a leg (10) tightly connected to the basic part (9) and a hinged leg (11) connected to the basic part, wherein the fixed leg (10) has a securing face (12) for securing the clamping profile to a surface (1, 3, 6), and wherein the hinged leg (11) can be moved between an open position for inserting/removing the advertising material (4) and a closed position for clamping the advertising material (4) between the hinged leg (11) and the fixed leg (10), characterised in that the basic part (9) is provided with a flexible lip (5) which extends beyond the securing face (12) of the basic part (9).

18. A clamping profile (2) for clamping advertising material (4) for application to a vehicle (1) according to claim 2, comprising a basic part (9), a leg (10) tightly connected to the basic part (9) and a hinged leg (11) connected to the basic part, wherein the fixed leg (10) has a securing face (12) for securing the clamping profile to a surface (1, 3, 6), and wherein the hinged leg (11) can be moved between an open position for inserting/removing the advertising material (4) and a closed position for clamping the advertising material (4) between the hinged leg (11) and the fixed leg (10), characterised in that the basic part (9) is provided with a flexible lip (5) which extends beyond the securing face (12) of the basic part (9).
