Information display device

An information display device, comprising a base structure for attaching said device flat on the ground and a removable cooperating cover for covering said base member and closing said device in a non waterproof manner and receive an information support inserted between an upper face of said base structure member and said cover member,

• wherein said base structure forms a lower wall with a plane downside face for flat contact with the ground when attached thereto and an elongated top wall with support area members for said cover forming said upper face,
• and wherein said base structure comprises channel means hollowed-out in said top wall for collecting any water appearing inside said device and let if flow down to evacuation openings provided through said lower wall for discharging said water onto the ground, wherein said channel means comprise a peripheral ring channel, a central channel arranged along the longitudinal axis of said elongated top wall, and transverse channels which connect said peripheral ring and said central channel, so that said channels are arranged in a square pattern in the top wall and delimit said support area members, said upper face of the base structure top wall being thereby discontinuous and formed by said area members as hollowed out from said lower wall.
• said base structure further comprising attachment openings provided for attaching said device to the ground, said attachment openings as well as said evacuation openings all being holes through said lower wall in said channels, whereby said holes are interchangeable for use as attachment openings for attaching said device to the ground by means of screws and/or adhesive and as evacuation openings for discharging water collected in said channel means onto the ground and whereby said evacuation openings and said attachment openings are covered by said cover when closing said device.

An information display device, comprising a base structure having a planar lower wall for flat contact with the ground and a convex top wall for receiving an information label and supporting an transparent upper cover cooperating with said base structure to removably close said device in a non waterproof manner and displaying said information label through said cover, wherein:

• (a) said base structure comprises a ring channel hollowed-out from said top wall which extends along its periphery and delimits a support area as an unbroken upper face for supporting said cover with said label being interposed between said top wall and said cover, said channel being adapted to collect any water present inside the device and let it flow down to evacuation openings provided through said lower wall to discharge said water onto the ground,
• said base structure comprising attachment openings provided for attaching said device to the ground, said attachment openings as well as said evacuation openings all being holes through said lower wall in said channels, whereby said holes are interchangeable for use as attachment openings for attaching said device to the ground by means of screws and/or adhesive and as evacuation openings for discharging water collected in said channels onto the ground and whereby said evacuation openings and said attachment openings are covered by said cover when closing said device,
• (b) and wherein said upper cover and said support area in said top wall have complementary surfaces with curved convex shape so that said cover when closing the device abuts against said supporting area of said base structure to position said label between said upper cover and said supporting area while draining any water down to said ring channel.
