Abstract

An electronic display device, particularly product information and/or price information display device, which comprises a screen, and a housing or a housing casing, in which the screen is mounted, and a display device reinforcing structure, which is designed for reinforcing the display device with respect to external action of force.

Claims (24)

1 . An electronic display device, the display device being a product information and/or price information display device, the display device comprising:

a screen, and

a housing or a housing casing, in which the screen is mounted, and

a display device reinforcing structure, which is designed for reinforcing the display device with respect to external action of force,

wherein the display device reinforcing structure comprises a space-filling reinforcing element, which fills an inner space of the housing or the housing casing, which lies behind the screen in a reinforcing manner at least in certain areas.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display device reinforcing structure comprises a front-side reinforcing element, which grips the screen from its intended viewing side at least in certain areas.

3 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the front-side reinforcing element is designed as a frame and grips the screen in a frame-shaped manner.

4 . The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the frame comprises a viewing window.

5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display device reinforcing structure comprises a rear-side reinforcing element, which grips the screen directly at its rear side, which faces away from the intended viewing side.

6 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein the rear-side reinforcing element is constructed as a plate and connected to the rear side of the screen in a materially bonded manner.

7 . The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the plate is realized as a multilayer structure.

8 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the space-filling reinforcing element is realized by at least one spatial structure from the group listed below, namely:

a honeycombed spatial structure,

a rib-like spatial structure,

a wave-like spatial structure,

a column-shaped spatial structure,

a spiral spatial structure.

9 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the space-filling reinforcing element is arranged at least in certain areas behind the screen and supports the screen at the rear side thereof towards the housing or towards the housing casing.

10 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the space-filling reinforcing element is designed as a constituent of the housing or the housing casing.

11 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing or the housing casing comprises a fastening structure at its housing rear side, which surrounds the screen at the rear side, which fastening structure is constructed in such a manner that the display device can be fastened to a shelf edge stripes.

12 . The display device according to claim 11 , wherein at least a part of the fastening structure is designed as a battery compartment cover.

13 . The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the rear-side reinforcing element is laminated to the rear side of the screen.

14 . The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the plate is realized as a sandwich structure.

15 . The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the space-filling reinforcing element is arranged adjacently to electronics provided behind the screen.
