Abstract
The present invention provides a display unit comprising a front face and a peripheral frame, the peripheral frame forming a border around the front face, the front face comprising at least one display panel, wherein the peripheral frame comprises an extruded main section having a channel formed therein extending longitudinally along its length, the peripheral frame further comprising at least one extruded auxiliary section having a profile in cross-section which engages with the channel in the main section of the peripheral frame, wherein the auxiliary section of the peripheral frame provides an infill between the main section and the front face of the display unit to permit alternative or replacement display panels to be accommodated within the same peripheral frame.
Claims16
A display unit comprising a front face and a peripheral frame, the peripheral frame forming a border around the front face, the front face comprising at least one display panel, wherein the peripheral frame comprises at least one extruded main section of the peripheral frame forming at least part of a main body of the peripheral frame, the at least one extruded main section of the peripheral frame having a channel formed therein extending longitudinally along its length, the peripheral frame further comprising at least one extruded auxiliary section having a profile in cross-section which engages with the channel in the at least one extruded main section of the peripheral frame, wherein the at least one extruded auxiliary section of the peripheral frame provides an infill between the at least one extruded main section of the peripheral frame and the front face of the display unit, wherein the at least one extruded main section of the peripheral frame extends to a side of the front face of the display unit to form a side portion of the display unit, wherein the channel is formed towards a front edge of the at least one extruded main section of the peripheral frame in a surface of the at least one extruded main section of the peripheral frame facing towards the front face, with the at least one extruded auxiliary section extending from the channel toward the front face of the display unit, and wherein a front face of the at least one extruded auxiliary section is parallel to the front face of the display unit.
An extruded main section of the peripheral frame for forming a peripheral frame of a display unit, having a front face surrounded by said peripheral frame, wherein the extruded main section of the peripheral frame comprises a plurality of spaced apart channels running longitudinal along its length on an inward facing face, each channel in cross-section having a narrow neck portion and a wider main portion below the neck portion, the channels being arranged to receive a plurality of channel engaging members slotted into a selected one of the channels and positioned to anchor a mounting for components of the display unit against the extruded main section of the peripheral frame, the extruded main section of the peripheral frame comprising an additional channel extending towards a front edge and facing towards the front face, the additional channel being arranged to receive an extruded auxiliary section to form part of the peripheral frame, to provide an infill between the extruded main section of the peripheral frame and components of the display unit.
