Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A synoptic control and signalling board of the type consisting of a plurality of hollow elements of prismatic form closed at one end by a detachable panel bearing symbols, said elements being disposed side-by-side in such a manner that their lateral faces are contiguous in pairs and that the panels form a plane surface, said elements being assembled by means of assembly members supporting a male member cooperating with a female member supported by the lateral faces of the elements, said assembly members being pegs having the form of a double dovetail in cross section, said pegs being disposed parallel to the axis of the prisimatic elements and having means for holding said pegs fast in the lateral walls of the elements, said pegs further having a gripping head of a parallelipipedic form, with at least one dimension being substantially equal to twice the thickness of the lateral wall of an element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A synoptic control and signalling board of the type consisting of a plurality of hollow elements of prismatic form closed at one end by a detachable panel bearing symbols, said elements being disposed side-by-side in such a manner that their lateral faces are contiguous in pairs and that the panels form a plane surface, said elements being assembled by means of assembly members supporting a male member cooperating with a female member supported by the lateral faces of the elements, said assembly members being pegs having the form of a double dovetail in cross section, said pegs being disposed parallel to the axis of the prisimatic elements and having means for holding said pegs fast in the lateral walls of the elements, said pegs further having a gripping head of a parallelipipedic form, with at least one dimension being substantially equal to twice the thickness of the lateral wall of an element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A synoptic board according to claim 1, wherein the gripping head is formed with a hole for the introduction of a demounting tool, said hole having an axis perpendicular to the axis of the peg.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
70 words
A synoptic board according to claim 2, wherein the board is connected to a support frame at intervals by means of rods perpendicular to the plane of the visible face of said board and elongated members are connected parallel to said plane, the ends of said elongated members being lodged in holes in the gripping heads of two adjacent pegs either in a horizontal plane or in a vertical plane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A synoptic board according to claim 1, wherein the locking means of the peg comprises studs mounted on the peg which cooperate with holes in the lateral face of the elements.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
113 words
A synoptic control and signalling board of the type comprising a plurality of members with a prismatic form and having at one end a square panel face bearing symbols with lateral faces, said elements being disposed side-by-side in such a manner that said square panel faces form a flat surface, and a key means for locking together prismatic members including a gripping head with a hole perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, said key means coacting with said lateral faces of adjacent prismatic members when positioned parallel to said lateral faces whereby a synoptic control and signalling board is formed adapted for easy dismantling by a tool coacting with said hole in said key.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
113 words
A synoptic control and signalling board of the type comprising a plurality of members with a prismatic form and having at one end a square panel face bearing symbols with lateral faces, said elements being disposed side-by-side in such a manner that said square panel faces form a flat surface, and a key means for locking together prismatic members including a gripping head with a hole perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, said key means coacting with said lateral faces of adjacent prismatic members when positioned parallel to said lateral faces whereby a synoptic control and signalling board is formed adapted for easy dismantling by a tool coacting with said hole in said key.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
60 words
A board as in claim 5, further including a support frame means including rods and fasteners with studs, said rods are fastened to the support frame means perpendicular to flat surface panel face while saId fasteners are fastened to the end of said rods with the studs parallel to said panel face, said studs coacting with said gripping head holes.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A board as in claim 6 where said lateral faces of said prismatic members have recesses and locking means on said key means for coacting with said recesses of said lateral faces.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
