Patent number: 11922833Abstract: There is provided an interface system for joining display modules to a framework structure. The interface system comprises a base structure and a holder structure, the holder structure can be attached to the framework, and the base structure can be attached to two or more of the display modules. The holder structure or the base structure are interfaced by a tiltable planar surface and a curved support structure so that the holder structure and base structre are moveable towards each other. A multiple of base structures can be joined via elongated members.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: BARCO N.V.Inventors: Georg Josef Gimbler, Roland Michael Schmuker, Tom Adriaan Gerard Dewaele

Patent number: 9546757Abstract: The invention relates to a support structure for an article. In particular, the invention relates to a support structure for mounting modular articles such as display units and the like upon a wall. The support structure comprises a support bracket (1), the support bracket having at least one opening (15), the opening being sized to accommodate a fixing (4) by which the support bracket may be secured to a wall (3), the opening being larger than the fixing whereby the position of the support bracket (1) may be adjusted relative to the fixing (4). The support structure also comprises a support element (2), the support element having a dimension (d) which is larger than the opening (15), the support element having a fixing hole (14) therethrough, the distance between the fixing hole (14) and the periphery of the support element (2) being non-uniform. The support bracket (1) has a support surface (12) adapted for engagement by the periphery of the support element (2).Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: Barco NVInventor: Tom Adriaan Gerard Dewaele

Patent number: 8992110Abstract: A spacer plate (3, 6, 7) for interconnecting support profiles (1, 5, 8, 9) of a display support structure (23) is described, including at least one alignment opening (11) for receiving an alignment stud (2) for aligning a first profile (1, 8) with respect to a second profile (5, 9) via the spacer plate (6), and at least one connector opening (13) for receiving a connector bar (4) for connecting the first profile (1, 8) to the second profile (5, 9) via the spacer plate (6), wherein the connector opening (13) is connected to the alignment opening (11) such that the relative position of the alignment stud (2) inside the alignment opening (11) is adjustable by the position of the connector bar (4) inside the connector opening (13). This allows to easily put the alignment stud (2) into the alignment opening (11) of the spacer plate (3, 6, 7) or vice versa and to eliminate all free play between the alignment stud (11) and the spacer plate (3, 6, 7) at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Barco N.V.Inventors: Marc Oscar Cornelius Decroos, Tom Adriaan Gerard Dewaele
