At least one display rack can be additionally attached to a display counter to increase the product display. Depending on the design of the display rack and the location where it is mounted, it can be used to present additional products in the served or self-service mode of the display counter, or even in both modes. The display rack can be repositioned when switching between the served and self-service modes.

Description

The invention relates to a display counter with a customer side and an operator side opposite the customer side, wherein the display counter comprises a merchandise area, a customer-side merchandise protection device, and optionally a shelf arranged or arrangeable above the merchandise area, and has an operating state and a self-service state. In the operating state, the merchandise protection device protects the merchandise area towards the customer side, and in the self-service state, allows access to the merchandise area from the customer side. Furthermore, the invention relates to a display rack with a customer side and a rear side opposite the customer side, as well as a rack shelf for storing goods to be presented, and a rack frame supporting the rack shelf. The invention also relates to a display arrangement comprising such a display counter and at least one display rack, as well as a display method for displaying goods.

by means of such a presentation arrangement.

Such presentation counters are known, for example, from DE 10 2016 123 840 A1, from DE 10 2020 117 647 A1, from DE 10 2016 123 506 A1, from EP 3 329 805 A1, from DE 699 22 715 T2, from DE 38 28 089 A1, from DE 20 2013 001 178 U1l, from DE 10 2012 018 155 A1, from DE 41 10 942 C2, from DE 201 07 066 U1, from DE 10 2007 047 305 B4, from DE 20 2013 001 936 U1, from DE 41 10 942 Al, from DE 26 03 425 Al, EP 2 471 418 Al, from EP 0 515 781 Al, from DE 10 2021 104 775 Al, from DE 20 2021 100 994 U1, from EP 3 440 964 Al, from DE 103 20 528 Al, from DE 203 07 122 U1l, from DE 41 35 932 Al and from IT 10 2019 000 063 92.

What these presentation counters have in common is that they each have a

is necessary, but is often provided for.

The change between the service mode and the self-service mode therefore makes it possible to use the corresponding presentation counter for the presentation of goods suitable for self-service, such as repackaged food, in times of limited staff availability, while the corresponding presentation counter in the service mode allows the presentation and handover of goods that are unsuitable for self-service for any reason, which are then handed over to the customer by the service staff.

The object of the invention is achieved by display racks, display arrangements, and display methods for displaying goods having the features of the independent claims. Further advantageous embodiments, independent of these, can be found in the subclaims.

and the following description.

The invention is based on the fundamental finding that at least one display rack can be additionally attached to a display counter in order to increase the product display. Depending on the design of the display rack and also the location at which the display rack is attached, it can serve to present additional products in the served state or in the self-service state, or even in both states, whereby the display rack can be adjusted when changing between the served state and the self-service state.

can be repositioned.

For example, a presentation arrangement can consist of a presentation counter with a customer side and an operator side opposite the customer side and of at least one presentation frame, wherein the presentation counter comprises a goods area and a customer-side goods protection and has an operating state and a self-service state and wherein in the operating state the goods protection protects the goods area for

Protects the customer side and in the self-service state

make possible.

As already indicated above, the display counter can comprise a product area and a customer-side product protection, so that goods can be presented in the product area without the customer being able to access the goods or potentially contaminate them, or such access is limited to a tolerable minimum. Accordingly, any device that allows the presentation of goods behind a customer-side product protection in a service state can serve as a display counter. Accordingly, the product protection or the display counter is designed in such a way that it allows access from the customer side to the product area in a self-service state, so that in the self-service state, it is possible

Goods can be removed from the goods room by the customer.

As a rule, the display counter includes at least one product display on which goods can be arranged and thus presented. In this respect, the product area is defined at least by the space occupied by the goods when arranged as intended on the product display. Such display counters often also have additional intermediate shelves with a product display above a lower product display, so that the product area extends from the lower product display up to the uppermost mezzanine level and the goods arranged on its product display. Depending on the specific implementation, such as

for example in DE 200 21 564 U1 or in DE 201 09 559

U1l discloses that such intermediate floors can also be designed to be movable or removable in order to increase the flexibility

to increase the use of the corresponding presentation counter.

In order to define the product area as precisely as possible, the product area can be defined, in particular, starting from the product protection in its operating position, in which the product area is defined, in particular, as the space located above the lowest product display of a presentation counter, which is sufficiently reliably protected by the product protection against access from the customer side or against contamination from the customer side. Preferably, the product area can also be defined as the space above the lowest product display of a presentation counter, which is upwardly bounded by a horizontal plane in which an upper edge of the

Goods protection is in its operating position.

The display rack can ultimately be attached to the display counter in any manner that is sufficiently stable, particularly for the intended presentation of goods that may be presented by operating personnel using the display rack or that are to be grasped by operating personnel or customers, to ensure that the display rack is sufficiently stable on the display counter, so that the goods do not fall over in the event of minor carelessness or, for example, scatter on the floor or even in the merchandise area below. Preferably, the associated attachment is designed in such a way that the display rack can be detached from the display counter upon request, particularly by operating personnel.

can be removed or repositioned.

In particular, it has been shown that it is already sufficient

if the fastening against from the customer side to the

for the presentation of goods are most likely to occur.

Accordingly, a presentation arrangement comprising a presentation counter with a customer side and an operator side opposite the customer side and at least one presentation frame, wherein the presentation counter comprises a merchandise area and a customer-side merchandise protection and has an operating state and a self-service state, and wherein in the operating state the merchandise protection protects the merchandise area towards the customer side and in the self-service state allows access from the customer side into the merchandise area, can be characterized cumulatively or alternatively to the other feature combinations described as advantageous in the present case in that the presentation counter additionally comprises a shelf arranged or arrangeable above the merchandise area and the presentation frame is or can be fastened to the shelf at least against forces directed from the customer side to the operator side or from the operator side to the customer side, in order to

to enable the highest possible product printing.

By attaching it to the shelf, for example using suitable suction cups or suitable clamps that grip the shelf on the customer side and on the operator side, such an attachment can be carried out easily and

be carried out safely.

If the shelf is also used as a payment level, it can be advantageous if the presentation frame does not extend over the entire width of the shelf, i.e. over the entire horizontal extent of the shelf perpendicular to a line leading from the customer side to the

operating side, extends or provides a free space for

can be beneficial.

By attaching the display rack to the shelf, it is possible to achieve a structurally simple design that makes the display rack shorter in width, i.e. in a horizontal direction perpendicular to a direction pointing from the customer side to the operator side, than the display counter itself or its shelf. On the other hand, such an attachment may possibly make a corresponding horizontal relocation of the display rack above the shelf more difficult, as the display rack may first have to be detached from the shelf. This can be facilitated by a split frame if one of the frame sections is attached to the shelf or to another point on the display rack and the other frame section is opposite it.

Accordingly, the first frame part can, for example, carry a frame-side component of the two-component releasable fastening device, while the second

Such relocation can be achieved, for example, by a sliding guide or by a conventional,

For example, a pull-out mechanism known for drawers can be used. Depending on the specific requirements, it is also possible to have two

to be able to wear.

The fact that the rack frame comprises a first rack frame part and a second rack frame part, which are designed to be displaceable relative to one another, also appears to be advantageous, regardless of the other combinations of features mentioned as advantageous in the present patent application, in order to enable the highest possible product pressure, both in the service state and in the self-service state, in a presentation rack with a customer side and a rear side opposite the customer side, as well as with a rack shelf for depositing the goods to be presented and with a rack frame supporting the rack shelf. This even applies regardless of the use of a two-component detachable fastening device, which certainly appears to be advantageous in addition, since ultimately the rack frame or one of the rack frame parts can also be fastened by means of a one-component detachable fastening device, such as by means of a detachable adhesive film or by means of

suction cups, can carry.

In particular, the display rack, which is attached to the shelf, can be secured against horizontally directed forces at least from the customer side to the operating side or from the operating side to the customer side. This means that any force components acting on the display rack in a horizontal direction can also be effectively counteracted. On the other hand, a degree of freedom in the vertical direction can be retained, allowing the corresponding attachment to be quickly released if necessary.

Preferably, the two-component detachable fastening device comprises a horizontal form fit, which is accordingly reliable and structurally simple

enables fastening against horizontally directed forces.

In this case, the form fit can preferably be released by a vertical movement, which is particularly easy to handle. Preferably, the vertical movement is achieved by moving the display frame vertically, as this ultimately follows the natural movement sequence when removing the display frame or when positioning the display frame.

Presentation arrangement consisting of a presentation counter with a

Customer side and with an operator side opposite the customer side and at least one presentation frame, wherein the presentation counter comprises a goods area and a customer-side goods protection and has an operating state and a self-service state and wherein in the operating state the goods protection protects the goods area towards the customer side and in the self-service state allows access from the customer side into the goods area, characterized in that the presentation counter additionally comprises a shelf arranged or arrangeable above the goods area and at least one shelf support, via which the shelf can be supported or is supported in a horizontal storage position above the goods area, and the presentation frame is to be fastened or fastened to the shelf support or to the shelf

is.

Due to a shelf support, the shelf can also withstand greater forces, as such a shelf support can be designed to be sufficiently stable due to its intended support function, in particular in order to be able to support the display rack sufficiently. In this respect, if such a shelf support is dispensed with, it may be possible to use only a smaller display rack or even a display rack containing only light goods, if the shelf is, for example, only attached to the merchandise protection and otherwise self-supporting. Any suitable device can accordingly be used as such a shelf support if it is suitable for supporting a shelf separately from the merchandise protection. In particular, such a shelf support can also be attached to the

Presentation counter should be provided.

A counter-side component of the two-component detachable fastening device can be provided on a shelf or shelf support by means of which the shelf is supported on the presentation counter. This then allows the presentation frame to be attached to the shelf support or to the shelf, which – as already explained above – is particularly

can be implemented stably.

Insofar as any possible fastening can initially serve as a fastening of the presentation frame to the presentation counter, a two-component detachable fastening device proves to be particularly advantageous, since such two-component fastening devices, on the one hand, allow for a detachable fastening in a structurally simple manner. In particular, such two-component fastening devices also prove to be relatively easy to handle for operating personnel, which is accordingly advantageous for such presentation counters.

appears.

Ultimately, any fastening device comprising two components can be considered as a two-component detachable fastening device, one of which can be used as a frame-side component on the display frame and the other as a counter-side component on the display counter. For example, these can be plug-in connections, in which a frame-side plug is inserted into a counter-side opening. If necessary, such a plug-in connection can also be implemented the other way around and comprise a counter-side plug, via which a frame-side opening is created. Hook connections, in which a hook

Suction connections, where a suction cup can be sucked onto a complementary surface, snap connections, latch connections and other suitable two-component connecting devices can accordingly be used as two-component fastening devices, as long as

these are designed to be detachable.

Accordingly, a presentation rack with a customer side and a rear side opposite the customer side, as well as with a rack shelf for storing the goods to be presented, and with a rack frame supporting the rack shelf in order to enable the highest possible product pressure, can be characterized, cumulatively or alternatively to the other feature combinations described here as advantageous, in that the rack frame carries a rack-side component of a two-component detachable fastening device on its underside in order to generate the highest possible product pressure. A corresponding arrangement of the rack-side component then also enables a corresponding fastening of the presentation rack above the product area in a structurally simple manner, since the corresponding counter-side component of the two-component detachable fastening device would then only be provided there.

On the other hand, it is also conceivable that the counter-side component of the two-component detachable fastening device is provided at another location on the counter, for example if corresponding support arms are provided on the presentation frame, which can serve as an extension up to above the goods area and the

In particular, the presentation rack can comprise at least two rack shelves arranged one above the other, so that goods can be presented one above the other by means of the presentation rack, which

The pressure on goods increased accordingly.

The display rack can also include at least one shelf that lowers toward the customer side, which generally increases the product pressure per se, since a large number of goods arranged on such a shelf can then be easily visually perceived by customers from the customer side. Depending on the specific design of the shelf that lowers toward the customer side, goods can also be moved toward the customer side solely by gravity whenever goods are removed by the customer. In particular, such a shelf can be designed, for example, in the form of a chute. The basic idea of increasing the product pressure by means of a shelf that lowers toward the customer side can also be implemented by means of a shelf that lowers toward the customer side, for example, arranged above the product area.

Rack storage can be realized, for example, on a rack level made of wood or wooden slats, on a rack level made of a glass plate, or on a rack level made of metal. Rack levels can also be made of plastic or other materials. As long as the corresponding materials correspond to the material of the rack frame, a one-piece design can also be provided.

The frame-side component of the two-component detachable fastening device can in particular comprise a support, so that the presentation frame can be easily placed above the goods area or at other locations above suitable arrangements by means of the support in order to

to be worn in the desired position.

Preferably, the frame-side component of the two-component releasable fastening device comprises a horizontal securing device, for which any suitable device can be used which, in interaction with a correspondingly designed counter-side component of the two-component releasable fastening device, enables securing against horizontal forces, for example against forces acting from the customer side to the operator side or vice versa. For example, such a horizontal securing device can be a downwardly directed open recess which engages in a corresponding projection or, for example, in a horizontal pin and in this way enables securing against horizontal forces. Such a downwardly open recess also has the advantage that it can be

can be attached to the presentation counter accordingly.

Any suitable device can serve as a hold-down device which, in conjunction with a correspondingly complementary counter-side component of the two-component detachable fastening device, can perform a hold-down function. For example, this can be a horizontally directed pin which engages in a complementary opening which is closed at the top. In this way, the pin can be prevented from leaving the opening upwards, so that it is held down accordingly, which then also applies accordingly to the presentation rack which carries such a hold-down device. Such a hold-down device can in particular also be realized by an open recess directed towards the customer side, wherein, if necessary, the upper side of the open recess serves as a support and only the underside

the recess can serve as a hold-down device.

In particular, it can be advantageous if the display rack includes both a hold-down device and a horizontal safety device, which allows for a structurally simple attachment of the display rack to the display counter. Preferably, the hold-down device and the horizontal safety device are spaced apart from each other, which leads to an overall stabilization of the attachment. This applies in particular if both the hold-down device and the horizontal safety device also serve as a support or are part of the support, as already mentioned.

indicated above.

Preferably, the rack shelf extends beyond the support,

which creates the possibility to increase the area of

The shelf should be as large as possible, which increases the quantity of goods to be presented and thus the product pressure. It is particularly advantageous if the shelf extends beyond the support at the rear, so that the shelf on the customer side is not too close to the

reaches the customer.

In particular, if the rack shelf extends beyond the support at the rear, it appears advantageous to arrange a hold-down device on the customer side of the display rack so that any tilting moments exerted on the display rack by the part of the rack shelf extending beyond the support can be effectively counteracted. Furthermore, such a design allows the rack shelf to extend even further beyond the support at the rear without

Presentation frame tips over the back.

Accordingly, it may be advantageous to position the horizontal securing device towards the rear of the display frame, which also promises advantages in terms of usability. Insofar as the horizontal securing device is used solely to protect against horizontally directed forces and may also be part of the support, the frame-side component of the two-component detachable fastening device designed as a horizontal securing device can be easily opened by lifting it. Even a hold-down device that merely performs a holding-down function can be replaced, for example, by a

horizontal displacement. Therefore, the horizontal safety device is positioned towards the rear of the

The two-component detachable fastening device can be opened by lifting the display frame and then the customer-side part can also be opened by horizontally shifting the display frame towards the operator side, which ultimately appears to be quick and easy to achieve from the operator side. Conversely, the two-component detachable fastening device can also be closed again if necessary by first closing the hold-down device accordingly by horizontally shifting the display frame and then securing the horizontal part by

Lowering it can be closed.

Depending on the specific purpose of the display rack, it can be designed in such a way that the rack shelf is accessible from the rear. This allows, particularly when the display rack is positioned above the merchandise area, goods to be placed on the rack shelf from the rear, i.e., particularly from the operator side, or to be removed from the rack shelf. This way, it is still possible to hand over the goods to the customer, especially in the operating state, even if the rack shelf is not accessible, for example, from the customer side. Refilling the rack shelf with new goods is also possible.

This way is easily possible.

A protective barrier can be arranged on the frame below the shelf to prevent dirt or other particles from falling from the shelf underneath the display stand. This is particularly important for hygiene purposes and is particularly useful when the shelf is interrupted, for example, as a grate. Such a design is particularly useful when the

advantageous in this regard.

Depending on the specific implementation, the underguard can be attached to the rack frame, which allows for particularly simple and reliable handling of the entire assembly. Preferably, the attachment is detachable, particularly tool-free, so that the underguard can be easily removed and repositioned as needed, for example, for cleaning purposes or for relocation, for example, if it is to be used as a puncture guard or as rack protection.

can be.

On the other hand, there may be situations where there is a risk that, if the rack shelf is accessible from the rear, customers may push goods through the rack shelf when the display rack is in self-service mode, which may lead to damage or other inconveniences. In such a configuration, it may be advantageous to provide a product puncture protection device on the rear of the display rack, which can prevent goods from being punctured from the customer side out of the display rack. Ultimately, such a product puncture protection device can be implemented in any way that is suitable for preventing goods from being punctured. In particular, these can be panels, including transparent panels, grids, grilles, bars, or similar. If necessary, it can be provided that the

In particular, it is conceivable that a storage facility is provided on the display rack itself for a corresponding security device, which is intended to be used, for example, as a product puncture protection device, so that a corresponding security device can be stored there when it is not intended to be used as a product puncture protection device. It is also conceivable, for example, that the corresponding security device can fulfil a supplementary function in storage, for example as a product rack protector or as a sub-protection device, if this is provided for and desired in the individual case. On the other hand, it is understood that a corresponding security device can also be used without the functionality as a product puncture protection device, for example as a product rack protector or as a sub-protection device, in the appropriate positioning or in a suitable storage facility.

In order to enable the highest possible product print, a presentation rack with a customer side and a rear side opposite the customer side, as well as with a rack shelf for storing the goods to be presented and with a rack frame supporting the rack shelf, can be characterized cumulatively or alternatively to the other feature combinations presented here as advantageous in that the rack frame carries on its rear side a rack-side component of a two-component detachable vertical fastening device. By means of such a two-component detachable vertical fastening device,

Depending on the specific implementation, the two-component, detachable vertical fastening device can be released or locked without the need for tools, allowing for quick and easy handling, especially without having to spend a long time searching for a suitable tool. This is particularly advantageous if the presentation frame needs to be repositioned during operation, even if it may be accepted that the fastening can be released more easily using the two-component, detachable vertical fastening device and thus protected against unintentional movement, for example, in the event of an accident.

In this case, the form fit can preferably be released by a vertical movement, which is particularly easy to handle. Preferably, the vertical movement is achieved by moving the display frame vertically, as this ultimately corresponds to the natural movement sequence when removing the display frame, but also when positioning the display frame. As a result, depending on the specific implementation, the display frame only needs to be lifted to open the two-component, detachable vertical fastening device.

and is lowered accordingly for closing.

The positive locking of the two-component detachable vertical fastening device, but also of the two-component detachable fastening device described above, is preferably effective at least horizontally, so that a corresponding fastening can be achieved against horizontal forces. Preferably, the positive locking is only effective horizontally and against gravity, which is the reason for the above-described

In this way, the presentation rack can be positioned very close to the customer when they approach the display counter. Such an arrangement appears particularly advantageous when the display counter is otherwise in its operating state, as any goods can then be placed on a shelf, so that the customer does not necessarily have to approach very close to the display counter in order to be able to grasp it. On the other hand, the additional display rack provided there prevents increased product pressure.

A storage space for the display rack can be provided on or in the display counter. This way, the display rack is always at hand when not in use. In particular, the storage space can be dimensioned so that several display racks can be stored there, which can increase flexibility or, if necessary,

used together, increases the pressure on goods.

Preferably, the storage space is accessible from the operator side, so that any display racks can be quickly grabbed or put down. Alternatively, it is also conceivable for such storage space to be accessible from the side or from the customer side. Depending on the specific implementation, the storage space can, for example, be equipped with a pull-out shelf to facilitate handling.

especially the presentation racks.

Preferably, a display rack should be mounted or secured both above the merchandise area or on the shelf support or shelf, as well as on the customer side of the display counter. This allows for maximum product display, although it is understood that—depending on the situation—one or more display racks can also be mounted at a different location or on a different shelf.

In this way, the merchandise protection device can be extended upwards if necessary by the vertically arranged shelf, whereby for such an extension the shelf does not have to be exactly vertical. Rather, it is sufficient if it is arranged or can be arranged accordingly stably with a vertically upwardly directed component. In this way, in order to be able to increase the merchandise pressure if necessary, additional merchandise space can be created, wherein the shelf in its vertical arrangement above the merchandise area or above the merchandise protection device then

Accordingly, a high product impression can be provided cumulatively or alternatively to the other feature combinations presented here as advantageous by a presentation method for presenting goods by means of a presentation arrangement comprising a presentation counter with a customer side and an operator side opposite the customer side and comprising at least one presentation rack, wherein the presentation counter comprises a product space and a customer-side product protection and has an operating state and a self-service state, and wherein in the operating state the product protection protects the product space towards the customer side and in the self-service state allows access to the product space from the customer side, if the presentation method is characterized in that, for the transition to the self-service state, the presentation rack is fastened to the presentation counter above the product space and/or that, for the transition to the operating state, a rack product protection is arranged on the customer side of the presentation rack or the presentation rack above the product space is removed and/or that, for the transition to the operating state, the or another presentation rack is fastened to the presentation counter on its customer side. The corresponding procedure then enables a corresponding increase in the product pressure, whereby it is understood that such an increase in the product pressure can be partially or even completely dispensed with if this

appears advantageous.

It is understood that in order to transition to the self-service state, the shelf protection arranged on the customer side of the presentation rack can be removed if necessary in order to then allow access to the

To enable presentation frame from the customer side.

In particular, if the display rack is not intended to remain above the merchandise protection during the operating state, so that, for example, a transfer of goods over the merchandise protection is possible without any problems, the display rack can be suspended or attached to a support, for example, on a wall, on a carrying frame or even on the display counter, to transition to the operating state. It is also conceivable to then attach the display rack to or in the

to be stored on a presentation counter.

To transition to the operating state, a shelf can also be positioned horizontally above the goods area, which - as already explained above - on the one hand potentially enables additional protection of goods and on the other hand allows the handover of goods, money and other objects

between the customer side and the operator side.

The mobility of the shelf, as explained above, may possibly lead to the shelf being lifted, particularly from the operator side, especially if, for example, a customer cannot fully reach an item on the shelf that is to be handed over to them due to their height or arm length, for example because the item has been placed too close to the operator. This can be caused by carelessness, for example. However, it is also conceivable that the operating personnel are relatively small or have short arms, making it difficult for the operating personnel to place the items sufficiently close to the customer side on the shelf. By lifting the shelf by the operator, the corresponding items can then be transferred into a gliding motion state and slide towards the customer side. To avoid

uncontrolled movements of goods, it then appears from

is.

Accordingly, a presentation counter with a customer side and an operator side opposite the customer side, wherein the presentation counter comprises a merchandise area, a customer-side merchandise protection and a shelf arranged or arrangeable above the merchandise area and has an operating state and a self-service state, and wherein in the operating state the merchandise protection protects the merchandise area towards the customer side and in the self-service state allows access from the customer side into the merchandise area, can be characterized cumulatively or alternatively, independently of the other feature combinations presented here as advantageous, in that an anti-slip device is arranged or can be arranged on the customer side of the shelf in order to facilitate the sales process as much as possible and thus to ensure the highest possible product pressure, particularly in the operating state.

make possible.

In particular, the anti-slip device can be removed by operating personnel, so that, especially in self-service mode, the anti-slip device is not a hindrance. For the same reason, it can be advantageous if the anti-slip device can be removed without tools, so that the operating personnel can remove it quickly and easily. In an alternative embodiment, the anti-slip device can be attached to the shelf and/or to the product protection in a displaceable and fixable manner, so that it can be fixed in an operating position in which it can perform its anti-slip function accordingly, while preferably being suitably

Self-service position can be shifted in which it

does not hinder the self-service process. For example, it is conceivable that the anti-slip device in the self-service position is installed together with the shelf and/or together with the product protection in its self-service position.

can be relocated.

Such a customer-side anti-slip device can also be provided on the display rack, especially if it includes a shelf that lowers towards the customer side. It will generally be sufficient if the anti-slip device is firmly fixed to the display rack, since display racks are usually designed to be relatively specialized for their respective purposes, so that it will generally be easier to replace the entire display rack if a shelf is to be used for another purpose. On the other hand, it is understood that the anti-slip device can also be detachably or relocatably mounted on the display rack, in order to

To be able to take usage situations into account.

In particular, it is conceivable to use a rack shelf that lowers towards the customer side, a shelf arranged above the goods area and lowering towards the customer side, both in the self-service mode and in the service mode of a presentation counter. Such a design makes it possible for goods to be handed over in the service mode to be moved in a sliding or gliding manner over the inclined shelf or rack shelf towards the customer side up to the anti-slip device, so that customers can easily grasp the goods that have been put together for them. At the same time, it is conceivable that, on a corresponding slope in the self-service mode, goods can be placed on a corresponding rack shelf or shelf of a presentation counter that lowers towards the customer side.

so that these goods can be stored by customers in the

Self-service mode can be used as needed, whereby these are usually correspondingly packaged goods. In particular, it is understood that such arrangements also enable a combined situation of self-service and service mode, in that, on the one hand, pre-packaged goods are stored on a corresponding rack or shelf that lowers towards the customer side, which customers can take in self-service, while parts of the corresponding rack or shelf are left free, so that goods individually compiled for customers by operating personnel can be placed there and, if necessary, glide to the customer side and thus to the

can be handed over to customers.

In this respect, regardless of the other feature combinations explained here as being advantageous, a presentation counter with a customer side and a service side opposite the customer side, wherein the presentation counter comprises a merchandise area, a customer-side merchandise protection and a shelf arranged or arrangeable above the merchandise area and has an operating state and a self-service state, and wherein in the operating state the merchandise protection protects the merchandise area towards the customer side and in the self-service state allows access from the customer side to the merchandise area, can be cumulatively or alternatively characterized in that the shelf lowers towards the customer side and is stably arranged or arrangeable above the merchandise area and/or above the merchandise protection when the latter is in its operating state. Such a stable arrangement of a shelf located above the merchandise area or above the merchandise protection, which lowers towards the customer side, enables, as already explained above, the highest possible merchandise pressure both in

In this case, the operating mode and the self-service mode are

If anti-slip protection is omitted, measures must certainly be taken to prevent goods, especially those presented for self-service purposes, from slipping unhindered. This can be achieved, for example, by a very slight incline. On the other hand, it seems advantageous to provide additional protection to prevent accidents, such as those that might occur when staff inaccurately push goods toward a customer.

to be avoided if possible.

Preferably, the anti-slip protection can be implemented, for example, by a glass pane or a railing. On the other hand, edges or similar elements can also serve as anti-slip protection. If necessary, it is even conceivable to extend the product protection slightly vertically upwards, so that an upwardly effective

Extension can serve as anti-slip protection.

Finally, any device that prevents goods from sliding down uncontrollably along the shelf or along the rack shelf and the resulting falling down can advantageously be used as anti-slip device.

serve.

In particular, the shelf can be placed at an acute angle above

of the goods area and/or above the goods protection when it is in its operating state, in order to achieve a corresponding inclination

to the customer side.

It is conceivable that such an inclined shelf, especially if the angle of inclination is not too great, for example only acute, serves as a permanent position of the shelf, for example by providing corresponding storage or

Bearing pins that can hold the shelf, according to

If necessary, a horizontal position of the shelf can be provided for special situations, which can be easily achieved, for example, by relocating the shelf or bearing pins or by other measures.

appears feasible.

Due to the stable arrangement, it is not necessary for operating personnel or even the customer to lift the shelf and

tends accordingly.

In particular, the shelf can be arranged in a lowering arrangement towards the customer side above the goods area and/or above the goods protection, when this is in its operating state, by means of an additional support, so that in particular heavier goods or somewhat higher loads

can be carried accordingly by the shelf.

Depending on the specific design, it may be advantageous if the shelf arranged or capable of being arranged above the merchandise area is attached to the display counter. This allows for a secure and, in particular, captive arrangement of the shelf on the display counter, for which a separate storage space does not have to be provided, especially when the shelf is not needed. The shelf can then be designed for this purpose, for example, to be foldable or movable or

otherwise be attached to the presentation counter in a movable manner.

In particular, the shelf arranged or arrangeable above the goods area cannot be attached to the display counter in a tool-free manner, so that, for example, for maintenance or cleaning purposes, the shelf cannot be removed, for example by loosening a screw connection or a lock that can be opened using a key as a tool.

the shelf can still be removed from the presentation counter.

Preferably, the shelf arranged or arrangeable above the merchandise area is transparent, for example, made of glass or transparent plastic, so that the shelf can be seen through if necessary. This can achieve an attractive appearance, but also – depending on the specific arrangement of the shelf in relation to the merchandise area and the goods presented there – increase the product impression.

It is understood that the features of the solutions described above or in the claims can also be combined if necessary in order to implement the advantages accordingly in a cumulative manner.

The three presentation arrangements 10 shown in the figures each comprise presentation counters 30, the counter body 31 of which can be placed on a floor 11 via feet 39. Separate feet may be omitted if necessary,

if this seems sensible.

While the first two presentation arrangements 10 shown in Figures 1 to 9 essentially serve to present goods at ambient temperature, the third presentation arrangement 10, shown in Figure 10, is designed as a refrigerated counter. It is understood that, if appropriate, corresponding presentation arrangements 10 can also be provided with warming devices or other heating elements. Likewise, any type of cooling device

be provided in addition or as an alternative.

The presentation counters 30 each comprise product displays 32 on which goods can be presented. Above the product display 32, a product area 40 can be defined, which is protected by a product protection 70 towards a customer side 41 against unwanted access or against possible contamination, for example via coughed-up droplets or

Similar things can be protected.

Opposite the customer side 41 is an operating side 42

can or may, is appropriately trained.

In the present embodiments, the merchandise protection 70 is designed to be displaceable vertically 47 downwards 48 into a self-service position in order to form the respective presentation counter 30 in a self-service state such that the merchandise area 40 is also accessible from the customer side 41. In the self-service state, customers can from the customer side 41 pick up goods which are in the merchandise area 40 or on the merchandise display

32 are held, take independently.

If the article protection 70 is moved upwards 49, it can be brought back into an operating position in which it

can protect the goods compartment 40 as intended.

In the present embodiments, a retraction space 36 for the product protection 70 is provided on the counter body 31, into which the product protection 70 is retracted vertically 47 downwards 48

can be.

It is understood that instead of shifting the product protection 70 downwards 48 or upwards 49, other possibilities already known from the prior art, such as how a product protection 70 can release a product space 40 in a self-service state and protect it in a service state, can also be used in such

Presentation counters 30 can be implemented.

In the present embodiments, a worktop 38 is provided on the operating side 42, which can be used as a support for objects that the operating personnel may need, or for carrying out activities by the operating personnel. Such a worktop 38 is not

absolutely necessary to carry out an operating activity in the described

way, so that - if necessary - such a worktop 38 can also be dispensed with, as long as the associated presentation counter 30 has a customer side 41 and an operating side 42, for example by the arrangement of the

Trademark Protection 70.

A shelf 71 is attached to the merchandise protection 70 by means of a hinge 73, so that the shelf 71 can be moved between a horizontal 46 position and a vertical position 47. In all embodiments shown here, the shelf 71 can be moved parallel to the merchandise protection 70 into a vertical 47 position, so that it can be moved vertically 47 downwards 48 and upwards 49 together with the merchandise protection 70 in order to switch from the service state to the self-service state and back to

change.

The hinge 73 of the second embodiment shown in Figures 4 to 9 also makes it possible to fix the shelf 71 in a vertical 47 position above the merchandise protection 70 in its operating position, so that in this way a supplementary merchandise space 40A, which also faces the customer side 41

protected, can be provided.

The shelf 71 can also be arranged in a stable manner in a lowering arrangement towards the customer side 41, as shown by way of example in Figure 9, wherein in this embodiment, the stability is ensured by an additional support 76. If necessary, the stability can be achieved by a suitable design of the hinge 73 or by other suitable measures, such as a lever mechanism or the like. It is understood that such a stable arrangement of the shelf 71 can also be dispensed with.

so that operators can easily lift them, for example

can, if goods or other objects from the operating side 42

to the customer side 41.

To prevent objects, such as goods, sliding onto such an inclined shelf 71 from falling off the customer side 41, the embodiment shown in Figures 4 to 9 includes an anti-slip device 77 which can be folded out as needed and secured to the customer side 41 via a fixing device 78 such that any goods sliding down the inclined shelf 71 can be caught there. In the present embodiment, the anti-slip device 77 can be moved into the self-service state together with the merchandise protection 70 and the shelf 71. It can be folded out as needed, particularly when the inclined position of the shelf 71 shown in Figure 9 is to be assumed, while otherwise it can also be folded in if necessary. Ultimately, any devices such as rods, plates or rails that are suitable for preventing objects from sliding off the shelf 71 can serve as anti-slip devices. In particular, it is also conceivable to extend the product protection 70 slightly upwards so that its upper extension can serve as an anti-slip device 77. It is also conceivable that the shelf 71, in its inclined position, folds slightly below the upper edge of the product protection 70 on its side facing the customer side 41, by the hinge being equipped with a double joint function, for example, so that the upper edge of the product protection 70 serves as

Anti-slip device 77 can be used.

It is understood that in different embodiments, the hinge 73 can be omitted. For example, the shelf can be independently movable if this seems appropriate. It is also conceivable that the shelf 7/1 can be

separate brackets in the desired manner, i.e.

for example vertically above the protection of goods 70,

can be positioned.

For reasons of stability, shelf supports 72 are provided on both sides of the goods protection 70, which support pins 75 on which the shelf 71 can rest in its horizontal position 46. In this way, the support 71 is held in its horizontal position 46 even in the event of contact or higher

Load is sufficiently stable.

In addition, in the present embodiments, the shelf supports 72 each carry a side protection 79, which laterally supplements the product protection 70. In particular, if several display counters 30 are arranged next to one another, such a side protection 79 between two display counters 30 can be dispensed with if necessary. It is also conceivable that two adjacent display counters

a side protection 79 share.

The presentation counters 30 shown in Figures 1 to 98 each further comprise intermediate supports 80, which are attached to the side protection 79 and serve for the additional presentation of goods within the goods area 40. Depending on the specific implementation, these intermediate supports 80 can also be designed to be removable. It is also conceivable to provide additional intermediate supports 80 in different embodiments, which can also be removable or

are trained to be deployable.

In the present embodiments, a lighting 89 is provided for each of the associated merchandise displays 32 and intermediate supports 80. If necessary,

In addition, radiant heaters may also be provided.

waive.

For the supplementary presentation of goods, at least one presentation rack 20 is provided in the presentation arrangements 10 shown in the figures, which comprises a rack frame 22 and a rack shelf 21 on which

additional goods can be presented or offered.

The rack shelf 21 is realized by a rack level 23, which - depending on the specific implementation, for example, by wood, wooden slats, metal, glass or

plastic can be realized.

Using a two-component detachable fastening device 51, the presentation racks 20 can be mounted above the

Goods rooms 40 are attached.

For this purpose, the frame 22 has a frame-side component 52 of the two-component detachable fastening device 51, while the presentation counter 30 carries a counter-side component 53 of the two-component detachable fastening device 51. In the present embodiments, the counter-side component 53 is realized by the support pins 75, which is structurally simple to implement. It is understood that in deviating embodiments, other implementation options for a counter-side component 53 of a two-component detachable

fastening device can be used.

Accordingly, the frame-side components 52 of the two-component detachable fastening device 51 each comprise a two-part support 54, which is formed by the top side of

Recesses 28, 29 are provided.

Here, the frame 22 each have open recesses 28 directed towards the customer side 41, the underside of which can be used as a hold-down device 55, which prevent a presentation frame 20 from being lifted by the customer.

can.

On a rear side 43, which can be defined opposite a customer side 41 of the presentation racks 20, a recess 29 is provided on a bottom side 44 of the rack frame 22, which recess 29 is open downwards 48, which serves as a horizontal securing device 56 and, when the presentation rack rests on its support 54, horizontally directed forces 46 which are exerted on the presentation rack 20 from the customer side 41 or the operating side 42 or rear side 43,

can meet.

Horizontal 46 directed forces perpendicular to this, the presentation frame 20 can interact with the

Shelf support 72.

The presentation racks 20 shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 10, as well as the presentation rack 20 arranged above the goods compartment 40 in Figure 4, are provided with a rack shelf 21 that descends towards the customer side 41 and is essentially designed in the form of a chute. Goods placed on this rack shelf 21 therefore slide down when goods are removed from the customer side 41, with an anti-slip device 27 being provided on the customer side 41 of the rack shelf 21, which prevents goods

fall off the presentation frame 20 on its own.

In addition, these presentation racks 20 are each equipped with

a frame level 23 in the form of a slatted frame,

wherein in the presentation frame 20 shown in Figures 1 to 3, a lower protection 25 in the form of a curved plate is provided, which prevents parts of goods or dirt or dust from falling through the grate

can avoid.

It is also conceivable for a different presentation rack 20 to make the rack shelf 21 smooth, and then possibly even flat, so that objects, in particular goods, can easily slide or glide on it, so that such a presentation rack 20 can then serve, similar to the shelf 71 shown in Figure 9, for the smooth transfer of goods or other objects in the operating state. In particular, a dual use is then conceivable, in which both goods suitable for self-service are presented there at high goods pressure, which slide down when goods lying further down are removed, and the transfer of goods individually provided by the operating personnel in the operating state

is made easier accordingly.

It is understood that in the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 10, differently designed presentation frames 20 can also be used, in particular as shown in Figures 4 to 9

embodiment are shown as examples.

For example, a frame 20 can have an L-shaped basic form, as is the case for the three other presentation frames 20 shown in Figures 4 to 9 and the one shown in Figures

16 to 18. These presentation frames 20 each have several

has rack levels 23 arranged one above the other, whereby the

in Figure 4 on a wall 13 suspended presentation racks

20 the rack levels 23 also in the form of a grid

are trained.

In contrast, the display rack 20 arranged above the merchandise area 40 in Figures 5 and 7 has glass panels as rack levels 23. Furthermore, in this display rack 20, the rack frame 22 is designed as a two-part unit, comprising a rack frame part 22A and a rack frame part 22B, which can be displaced relative to one another or from the customer side 41 to the rear side 43 and back via a pull-out 26. This allows the rack frame part 22A to be displaced toward the operator side 42, so that the view into the merchandise area 40 or onto the merchandise display 32 and access can be made easier, which can increase the merchandise pressure, particularly in the self-service state shown in Figure 5. In the operating state, the frame part 22A can be shifted towards the customer side 41, as shown by way of example in Figure 7, in order to facilitate access to the goods area and the goods display 32 by operators and to increase the product pressure of the goods presented in the presentation frame 20 by placing them closer to the customer. Such a division can also be used for other

Presentation racks 20 should be provided.

In particular, in the case of the

Rack level 23 effectively prevent.

That in Figure 6, for example, above the goods area 40

The presentation frame 20, however, uses metallic

Rack levels 23.

As shown in particular in Figure 6 by way of example, a vertical arrangement of the shelf 71 can provide a rack product protection 74 for goods which are arranged on a presentation rack 20 which is arranged on the operating side of the rack product protection 74, which can be advantageous, for example, in the arrangement according to Figure 7, which also represents an operating state. It is understood that in deviating embodiments, such a rack product protection 74 can also be provided by other measures, such as by separate

Plates or similar, can be realized.

Furthermore, the display rack 20 provided as an example in Figure 6 on the operating side of the rack product protection 74 has the option of being able to reach through the rack frame 22 onto the rack shelves 21 from the operating side 42, so that operating personnel can add or remove goods and, if necessary, hand them over to customers. Insofar as the display rack 20 arranged above the product area 40 in Figures 5 and 7 does not include this option of accessing the rack shelves 21 from the operating side 42 through the rack frame 22, which has the advantage in the self-service state that customers cannot push goods through the display rack 20, it does not seem to make much sense, however, to present goods on this display rack 20 in the operating state that are not accessible for self-service and to use the display rack shown in Figure 6.

The rack protection 74 shown must then be provided.

The rack levels 22 shown in Figures 16 to 18 also use metallic rack levels, such as the presentation rack 20 arranged above the goods space 40 in Figure 6. The rack levels 22 shown in Figures 16 to 18

The presentation frame 20 shown can be accessed from the operating side

42 through the rack frame 22 onto the rack shelves 21 or onto the rack levels 23. In order to prevent customers from pushing goods through to the rear side 43 of the presentation rack 20 shown in Figures 16 to 18 in an operating state, the latter comprises a securing body 90 which, as shown in Figure 16 by way of example,

shown, can serve as a goods puncture protection 92.

In the presentation rack 20 shown in Figures 16 to 18, the metallic rack levels 23 are grid-like

designed so that, as shown in Figure 17, the securing body 90 can also be used as under-protection 25

can be used where it is plate-like.

In addition, as in Figure 18, the security body 90 can also be designed as a rack protection device 91 and inserted into a storage device 93 provided on the customer side. In this way, in particular from the operating side 42 or from the

Access to rack levels 23 is possible from the back 43.

In order to achieve a corresponding flexibility, the presentation frame 20 shown in Figures 16 to 18 has a plurality of correspondingly provided storages 93 in which the security body 90 can be stored, wherein these storages 93 are designed in such a way that they have a corresponding functionality of the security body 90

make possible.

The presentation racks 20 shown in Figures 4 to 9 each have on their rear side 43 frame-side components 62 of a 2-component detachable vertical fastening device 61, by means of which the presentation racks 20 can be attached to vertical devices, such as

for example on support stands 12 or walls 13 but also on

the front of the presentation counter 30 or on its counter body 31, as shown in Figure 7

can be attached.

For this purpose, a support 60 is provided at the desired positions of the support stand 12, the wall 13 and the presentation counter 30, which is a support-side component of the two-

component detachable vertical fastening device 61.

The frame-side component 62 of the two-component detachable vertical fastening device 61 comprises an upper suspension 64 with an undercut 65, which is inserted into the carrier

60 can be hung.

By means of a lower support 66, the frame 22 of the presentation racks 20 can be supported on the respective vertical device, so that they can be reliably installed in

can remain in their desired position.

Preferably, the underside 44 of the frame 22 is designed to be flat, so that a correspondingly designed presentation frame 20 can also be stored or placed on the shelf 38, the product display 32 or on other flat surfaces, such as, for example, on the base cabinet 14 shown as an example in Figure 9 with a work preparation or, as shown as an example in Figure 4, in a storage space 33 within the presentation counter 30.

To facilitate operation, a shelf extension 35 can be arranged in the storage space 33 via a full extension 36, as shown by way of example in Figures 1 to 3, so that presentation racks 20 stored in the storage space 33 can be easily removed and put back into the

If necessary, a support 37, for example on the shelf extension 35 or on a floor of the storage space 33, can also be provided in order to safely hold any presentation racks 20.

and stored stably within storage space 33.

As already explained by way of example with reference to the presentation rack 20 arranged above the merchandise area 40 in Figures 5 and 7, the rack frame 22 can comprise a rack frame part 22A and a rack frame part 22B, which are designed to be displaceable relative to one another. This displaceability preferably takes place horizontally 46 - and in the case of the presentation rack 20 arranged above the merchandise area 40 in Figures 5 and 7 from the customer side 41 to the rear side 43 or to the operator side 42 and back, i.e. perpendicular to a width of the

Presentation counter 30 or presentation frame 20.

A particularly simple construction results when the presentation racks 20 extend approximately over the width of the presentation counter 30, since then lateral shelf supports 72 or other lateral devices can also serve for fastening the presentation racks 20. Otherwise, fastening to the shelf 71 or to the product protection 70 remains, which in practice, however, is relatively

seems difficult to implement reliably.

On the other hand, it is not necessarily advantageous if a

Presentation frame, especially when in operating condition

is to be used, extends over the entire width of the shelf 7/1 or the presentation counter 30, since then there is hardly any space

remains to transfer goods which operating personnel have individually compiled for a customer via the shelf 71

to be able to.

Insofar as Figures 11 and 12 show a presentation rack 20 which essentially corresponds to the presentation rack 20 shown in Figure 4 above the goods space 40 and the presentation rack 20 shown in Figure 10, Figures 13 to 15 show a presentation rack 20 whose rack shelf 21 is narrower than the width of the presentation counter 30 or the shelf 71, so that goods can also be moved past the presentation rack 20 over the shelf 71,

can be handed over without further ado.

This presentation rack 20 also comprises two rack frame parts 22A and 22B, which are designed to be displaceable relative to one another, wherein this displacement is also directed via a sliding guide 24 in the horizontal 46 direction, but parallel to the width and perpendicular to a distance extending from the customer side 41 to the operator side 42 or to the rear 43. This allows an optional displacement of the rack frame 22 and the associated rack shelf 21 along the presentation counter 30, if this

should be desired.

In concrete implementation, the frame part 22A carries, on the one hand, the frame-side component 52 of the two-component detachable fastening device 51 and, on the other hand, a crossbar 24A, which is part of the sliding guide 24 and which is enclosed by slotted openings 24B of the frame part 22B, which are also part of the

Sliding guide 24 are.

The crossbar 24A is aligned in such a way that it is approximately at the height of the shelf 71, so that the transfer of goods over the shelf 71 is not unnecessarily hindered. The crossbar 24A can also possibly serve as an anti-slip device 77, if provided by the customer, especially if a

remaining shelf 71 is arranged at an angle.
