Display rack

Abstract

A display rack for the presentation and dispensing of products which have to be protected in a hygienic manner, in particular foodstuffs, to a customer. The display rack has a presentation chamber for storing and visually presenting the products, having a front side which faces a customer, a rear side which is remote from a customer as well as a left-hand side and a right-hand side. The display rack also has a removal chamber having a removal opening for the removal of products from the display rack. A non-return device is provided between the presentation chamber and the removal chamber, and is arranged on the right-hand and/or left-hand side of the presentation chamber. Two panes are arranged one above the other as front covers for the front sides of the presentation chambers to define a pusher opening in a width direction.

EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

(1) An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below by way of the accompanying drawings, in which:

(2) FIGS. 1a, b: show a side view and front view of the display rack,

(3) FIG. 2a: shows an enlargement of a detail, seen in side view,

(4) FIG. 2b: shows a top view of the enlargement of the detail in FIG. 2a,

(5) FIGS. 3a, b: show the scoop pusher,

(6) FIG. 4: shows an enlarged representation of the non-return device and

(7) FIGS. 5a, b: show representations of the detail of the price strip.

(8) The front representation in FIG. 1b of an individual display rack 1 shown over the entire height shows the fundamental innovation, according to which the removal chamber 4in individual storeys one above anotheris situated in each case to the side, in this representation to the left-hand side, next to the presentation chamber 2 for the goods.

(9) A product P, which is already located in the removal chamber 4, is able to be reached there and removed by the customer via the removal opening 5, which is present on the front side of said removal chamber 4 and, in this case, exists in the overall open front side of the removal chamber.

(10) The presentation chamber 2, in contrast, is closed to the front, to the user, by means of a transparent pane 11, through which the customer, however, is very clearly able to see the products P that are stored in the presentation chamber 2:

(11) The separating plane 43 then, which is located between the presentation chamber 2 and the removal chamber 4 and in which a non-return device 9 has to be situated by way of, in this case, several pivotable elements 13, extends in the direction of sight of the customer and is not too obvious in the front view, in contrast to a transversely extending non-return device which is necessary when the removal chamber 4 is situated in front of the presentation chamber 2 as in the prior art.

(12) The upper region of the display rack 1, in which the presentation chambers 2 and removal chambers 4 are situated in each case side by side, is the presentation region 29 which reaches approximately up to knee height of the customer standing in front of it, the base region 28, which is located beneath it, no longer includes presentation chambers or removal chambers.

(13) In addition, the front side 3 of the presentation region 29 is developed so as to slope backward from bottom to top, preferably by approximately 5-10 in relation to the vertical, as a result of which looking into the presentation chambers 2 is improved not only in a horizontal manner but also relatively steeply from above, the more so when the products P are located close to the front pane 11 in the individual presentation chambers 2.

(14) As can be seen from FIGS. 1a, b, the structural design of the display rack 1 is modular:

(15) It consists on the one hand of a frame 19 which consists of upright struts 26a, b, c, the upright struts being designated at the front side 3 by the reference 26a or 26b:

(16) As the front side 3 of the presentation region 29 is arranged sloping backward from bottom to top and the front face of the base region 28 is, however, arranged perpendicularly, the front-side upright struts 26a, which pass through the presentation region 29 and the base region 28, have a bend at the transition between these two regions or are divided into two at said point, the bottom part forming a separate foot support 15. The upright struts on the front side 3 which only extend over the height of the presentation region 29 are designated by way of the reference 26b.

(17) Such a front-side upright strut 26b which only extends over the height of the presentation region 29 is preferably present in each case on a side of the removal chamber 4 that is certainly narrower than the presentation chamber 2, it not being important on which side of the removal chamber 4 this is chosen to be. In the case of display racks 1 which follow one after another in a modular manner in the width direction, as indicated in the top region in FIG. 1b, this should be the same side in each case.

(18) The sense in this is that in the base region 28 the upright struts, which reach to the floor, are at a spacing to one another in the width direction which is greater than the width of a commercially available brush, which is wider than the width of the removal chamber 4, which is relatively narrow compared to the presentation chamber 2:

(19) For the front side 3 of the base region is closed by means of a front plate 16 which is realized as a flap with a hinge on the top edge, and with its bottom edge is able to be pivoted forward out of its normal position hanging down vertically away from the remaining display rack 1, that is the foot supports 15, and in particular is only able to be pivoted in this direction.

(20) This serves to ensure that, when the floor 20 is being cleaned, the small crumbs, lying underneath the display rack 1 for example, are able to be pushed from the rear side 22 forward beyond the front side 3 by means of a brush, by the operator, standing behind the rear side of the display rack, deflecting the front plate 16 forward with the brush. The small crumbs then remain on the floor in the region in front of the front side 3 of the display rack and there are picked up, for example, by a polishing or sweeping machine going through its paces.

(21) The upright struts 26c on the rear side 22 extend in a perpendicular manner over the entire height, however, there too, the upright struts should extend preferably only on one side of the removal chambers 4 only over the height of the presentation region 29 from the named floor.

(22) The frame 19 is completed by cross struts 18 which extend in the depth direction and longitudinal struts 27 which extend in the width direction, longitudinal struts 27 preferably only being present at the top and bottom end of the presentation region 29.

(23) On each storey, a storage bin 6 is pushed into the frame 19 in the depth direction as the floor of the presentation chamber 2 and in each case a removal bin 7 is pushed into the frame 19 in the depth direction as the floor of the removal chamber 4, said bins serving as a support surface for the products P. Said bins, in this case, rest on lateral guide strips 18, which extend as the cross struts 18 in the depth direction between the front and the rear upright struts 26a, b, c and are easily demountable, which is why they have the same slight slope downward from back to front as the bins located thereon are to have.

(24) As can be seen from FIG. 1a, said slope increases slightly from bottom to top from storey to storey in order to improve visibility, it being possible for the bottommost storey still to be horizontal.

(25) The fundamental function of the display rack when a product P is removed can be seen best in FIG. 4:

(26) The customer selects a product P to be bought which is in the storage bin 6 in the presentation chamber 2. As the front side of the presentation chamber 2 is closed and he is not able to reach into it, he must select the desired product by means of a scoop pusher, which projects inward through a slot in the front-side cover of the presentation chamber 2 and which he holds by the rear handle 23 in order to move the desired product by way of the scoop 24 at the front end of the scoop pusher 12 through the non-return device 9 into the removal chamber 4.

(27) The handle 23 of the scoop pusher 12 is realized, in this case, as a ball, as can be seen in FIG. 1a or FIGS. 3a, b, which is, however, not compulsory.

(28) To this end, he has first of all to push the product P up over the lateral ramp 8 of the storage bin 6, then push it through the non-return device 9, which occurs on its own due to gravity by there being a sliding surface 44 which slopes downward in the direction of the removal bin 7 below the non-return device 9. As soon as the product P rests on the removal bin 7 of the removal chamber 4, the customer is able to reach it with his hand through the front-side removal opening 5 of the removal chamber 4, put it in a bag and take it with him.

(29) So that said pushing-over is not possible over the entire depth of the display rack, a protective plate 20 is arranged, for example, in the separating plane 43 in the rear region, and the non-return device 9 with the pivotable blocking clips 13 only covers the front region.

(30) The non-return device 9 consists of pivotable elements 13as can also be seen in FIG. 1awhich, side by side in the depth direction, form a continuous curtain, in this case of wire clips which are strung in a pivotable manner along a bearing rod 17. The pivotable elements 13 end with their bottom end at a spacing above the slipping surface 44, the spacings being too small in order to pass a product P through between them.

(31) The pivotable elements 13 have an protrusion 13a upward beyond the bearing rod 17, and in the pivot region of said protrusion 13a is situated a stop bar 37 which extends parallel to the bearing rod 17 and, just as said bearing rod, is suspended at the end of the upright struts 26b, c, offset somewhat from the protrusion 13a in the direction of the removal chamber 4.

(32) As a result, the bottom part of the pivotable element 13 is only able to pivot by a small pivot angle in the direction of the presentation chamber 2, just until the protrusion 13a abuts against the stop rod 37, and then the bottom end of the pivotable element 13, the blocking clip, is still situated for instance above the sliding surface 44. As a result, products already situated in the removal chamber 4 are reliably prevented from being able to be pushed back again into the presentation chamber 2 by the customer.

(33) In contrast, the blocking clip 13 can be pivoted an arbitrary distance in the other direction, that is in the direction of the removal chamber 4, as is necessary in order to push a product P through.

(34) In this case, both the bearing rod 17 and the stop bar 37 extend preferably parallel to the storage bin 6 and above all parallel to the guide strip 18, which extends in the depth direction, and are consequently angled differently for the most part according to the storey.

(35) The storage bins 6 are usually filled with fresh products P from the rear side 22, insofar as there is space there for the operator. If the display rack 1, however, has to stand with its rear side 22 against a wall, for example for reasons of space, the filling by the operator must take place from the front side 3.

(36) For this purpose among other things, the panes 11 which cover the front side 3 of the presentation chambers 2 are realized for opening by being fastened on one side to one of the upright struts 26a, b by means of hinges 21.

(37) On the other side, opposite the upright struts 26a, b which extend there, each pane has a locking device 38 which is, however, not visible to the customer:

(38) As the enlargement of the detail in FIG. 1a shows, said locking device consist, for example, of a lock 45 which protrudes from the rear side of the upright strut 26a and which can be reached under and pushed up with the result that its locking end 45a then no longer engages in the closure part 46 which is fastened on the rear side of the pane 11 such that the pane 11 is able to be pivoted up.

(39) As soon as this happens, the storage bin 6 located behind it is able to be charged with new products or the storage bin 6 is also able to be removed forward completely for cleaning purposes or so that it can be filled somewhere else.

(40) To this end, a form-locking latching (not shown) has first of all to be overcome between the storage bin 6 and the guide strips 18 on which it rests, as a rule by lifting up the storage bin 6. The same also applies to the removal bin 7.

(41) It can be seen from FIG. 1a that the cover surface 42 of the display rack 1, which is closed by elements such as, for instance, glass panes that are placed onto the frame 19, has a gradient that slopes down slightly from the front edge to the rear edge so that the top surface of said cover surface is not visible to a customer standing in front of the display rack 1.

(42) FIG. 1b shows a sectional representation of the storage bins 6 in the right-hand part and a front view only in the left-hand part.

(43) Several details can be seen above all from the sectional representation:

(44) On the one hand that the storage bins 6 are realized in a bin-shaped manner, that is they comprise an ascending ramp 8 toward their edges, which ramp, among other things, is to prevent a product being able to be pushed too easily and unintentionally by a customer over the edge of the storage bin 6 into the removal chamber 4. In addition, said lateral ramp 8 also serves for holding back products, if the storage bin 6, charged with products, is moved, for example is carried around, outside the display rack 1.

(45) As can be seen among other things together with FIG. 2a, the floor of the storage bin 6 is provided with grooves 30 which extend over the entire width of the floor of the storage bin 6 and one groove 30 connects to the next groove in the depth direction such that a W-shaped or V-shaped development of the floor of the storage bin is provided. The elevations between the grooves 30, in this case, form the support surfaces for the products P, for the width of the grooves 30 is clearly smaller than the extension of a product P when seen in top view.

(46) In this case, the storage bins 6 and the entire display rack 1 are dimensioned such that the storage bins 6 can only be pushed into the display rack 1 in one orientation, namely just with the grooves 30 extending transversely to the depth direction.

(47) In this case, the grooves 30 serve as a collecting space for small crumbs 36 or constituents such as grains of cereal which fall off the products P such that the storage bins 6 developed in this manner simultaneously fulfill the function as a support surface for the products P and as a collecting tray for small crumbs.

(48) In this case, the flank inclination and the depth of the grooves 30 is additionally preferably chosenwith consideration to the inclined position of the storage bin 6 in the display rack 1 and the sight position of the customersuch that at least in the topmost storey the customer is not able to see into the bottom, that is the deepest region, of the grooves 30 and consequently cannot see the small crumbs 36 stored there such that the visual impression to him is of a clean storage bin 6.

(49) This is promoted by a front flank 30a of the groove 30 which is as steep as possible, faces the customer and should consequently preferably be perpendicular or even overhanging in relation to the main plane 47 of the storage bin 6, as shown in the bottom representations of FIG. 2a.

(50) FIG. 1b also shows that there are differently developed storage bins 6, for example with a different depth, that is the lateral ramps 8 are of different heights.

(51) In addition, it can be seen that there are also storage bins 6 without grooves 30 in the floor, in which non-crumbling products such as, for example, paper bags are to be stored which can then be presented, for example, on the bottommost storey, for which the omission of the pane 11 is also an option in order to be able to reach the bags 48 directly in the presentation chamber 2 and to be able to take them out from the front.

(52) The panes 11 extend vertically in each case beyond one of the storage bins 6 and consequently at the same time, in each case in part, cover two presentation chambers 2 which are located one above the other. The slot-shaped pusher opening 14, which is required for passing through the pusher scoop 12 and has to extend over a certain length in the width direction, is formed by a vertical spacing between two vertically consecutive panes 11. As the pusher opening 14 does not have to extend over the entire width of the presentation chamber 2, it is created as a result of either the bottom edge or the top edge of the adjoining panes 11which are shown by the dotted lines in FIG. 1bcomprising an indentation 39 which is situated in the central region of the width of the presentation chamber 2. The bottom edge of the top pane is located in the side regions next to the indentation 39 very close to, only a few millimeters above the top edge of the pane located below it.

(53) The height of said pusher opening 14 which is created in this manner is greater than the thickness of the pusher rod 25 which is indeed to pass through the pusher opening 14, but smaller than the diameter of the handle 23 on the rear end of the pusher rod 25 and also smaller than the dimensions of the scoop 24 at the front end of the pusher rod.

(54) A partition wall 10, which projects up from the floor of the storage bin 6 extending in the depth direction in order to divide the storage bin into two adjacent regions, is additionally shown on the topmost storey in FIG. 1b.

(55) The partition wall 10 is preferably not fixedly connected to the storage bin 6, but rests loosely on said storage bin. Fixing is effectedas shown in FIGS. 2a and 2bin a form-locking manner and consists, in this case, of two correspondingly spaced heavy bars 31, preferably consisting of metal, which fit in grooves 30 and preferably extend over their entire length. The partition wall 10, which projects upward and extends at a right angle to the bars 31, is fastened to said bars such that, where required, the partition wall 10 can be arranged in the storage bin 6 simply by placing its bars 31 into the grooves 30.

(56) If the bar 31 is shorter than the length of a groove 30, the cross position of the partition wall 10 in the storage bin 6 can also be varied. For this purpose, stops 56, against which the bars 31 strike at the front end, are included at corresponding cross positions in the grooves 30.

(57) Light strips 40 for the illumination of the presentation chambers 2 on the individual planes are additionally shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b:

(58) In this case, these are preferably light strips with LEDs as lamps which not only require little current but above all radiate very little heat, and as a result, do not give rise to any inadmissibly high heat input in the direction of the products P stored in the presentation chamber 2.

(59) The light strips 40 are arranged in each storey in the right-hand and left-hand top corner of the presentation chamber 2 extending in the direction of the depth of the display rack 1 and are preferably fastened on the bottom surface of the guide strips 18.

(60) In this case, the light strips 40 are not mounted so as to be pivotable about their longitudinal axis in relation to their end-side holder 41 such that the beam angle of the light strip 40 is always set in an optimum manner. The power supply to the light strips is effected by wiring which is run in the interior of the struts of the frame 19 which, for this reason, are preferably realized with regard to their cross section as extensively closed hollow profiles.

(61) The special form of the scoop 24 of the scoop pusher 12 can be seen in FIGS. 3a, b:

(62) It can be seen from the sectional representation in FIG. 3b that the inside surface 32 of the scoop 24 is curved in a concave manner and the pusher rod 25 is positioned on the rear end of the scoop 24.

(63) In the top view from above onto the inside surface 32 according to FIG. 3a, it can be seen that the scoop 24 has an approximately triangular basic form with a central, strongly rounded tip at the front end remote from the pusher rod 25, and on both sides of the longitudinal center, the line of symmetry, a continuation 34 which projects laterally to each side, both of which continuations provide one each of the further corners of the triangular basic form and are also strongly rounded.

(64) Indentations 35 are present in each case between the central tip 33 and the lateral continuations 34. As a result of said form, on the one hand, where required, a product can be received in the concavely scoop-shaped inside surface 32 and as it were carried.

(65) As a result of the tip 33 at the front and the lateral continuations 34, depending on the position of a product P in the storage bin 6, each product, even in the corners of the storage bin 6, is able to be easily reached and pushed in the desired direction, namely in the direction of the removal chamber 4:

(66) The lateral continuations 34 are especially suitable for reaching a product lying precisely in the front corners of the storage bin 6. The central rounded tip 33 is especially suitable for engaging over a product lying right at the back in the storage bin 6 and pulling it forward into the region of the non-return device 9, and only then pushing it to the side in the direction of the removal chamber 4 by means of one of the two continuations 34.

(67) The size of the scoop 24, when looked at in top view, is somewhat larger than a product P when looked at in top view, but larger by no more than the factor 2 or 3.

(68) The indentations 35 are not so large that a product P could be passed through between an imaginary connecting line from the central tip 33 to a lateral continuation 34 and the indentation 35 lying below it.

(69) FIGS. 5a, b show the price strip 50 which is preferably arranged at the level of each storey, that is approximately at the level of the storage bin 6 of the presentation chamber 2.

(70) The price strip 50 consists, on the one hand, of a holding bar 51 which extends behind the pane 11 in the width direction and in front of the corresponding presentation chamber 2 or the corresponding storage bin 6 and has such a length that it is able to be fastened, in particular suspended, by way of its two ends on in each case one of the two upright struts 26a, b on both sides of the presentation chamber 2.

(71) The holding bar 51 supports a pocket profile 52 which is preferably produced from transparent plastics material and is cut to the desired length.

(72) The pocket profile, the profile shape of which can be seen the best in the representation in FIG. 5b when viewed in the direction of extension of the holding bar 51, has a top pocket 54a into which the holding bar 51 passes, in this case realized by a triple offset about in each case approximately 90 in the same direction from the main plane of the pocket profile 52.

(73) In this case, the bottom freely ending leg reaches almost to the rear side in the main plane of the pocket profile 52.

(74) Once the pocket 54a has been correspondingly bent up, the holding bar 51 can be placed from above onto the holding bar 51.

(75) In the bottom region of the pocket profile, this forms a U-shaped pocket 54b which is open at the top and into which the price ticket 53 can be inserted from above or from the side with the labelled side facing the customer.

(76) For the positioning in the width direction, in the top surface of the top pocket 54a of the pocket profile 52 there is at least one opening, through which a fixing projection 55, which protrudes from the holding bar 51, in this case upward, projects outwardly and as a result fixes the pocket profile 52 in a form-locking manner in the width direction.
