description

The invention relates to a display of at least one stand with at least one open-front chamber and backwards in a tilt angle # rising into the chambers and inserted trays.

More recently, efforts are being made for piece goods, not only to transport them for sale, store and offer in a rack, but to move them into the field of vision of the customer by simultaneously representative and efficient displays. These displays should be suitable at the same time by simple additional measures to transport the cargo. Especially with a large distributor, a display must solve all requirements in an optimal way.

A groundbreaking improvement is described in WO 03/003 881. The at least in the edge region parallel epiped-shaped trays for about vertical stacking and presenting flat-shaped cargo have in each corner at least a smaller than 90 ° formed angle. The stands for inserting the trays have means for obliquely introducing and fixing the trays, wherein the end wall and the side surfaces of the trays inserted in a display are approximately perpendicular. As a result, when removing a piece goods slip the other cargo automatically forward and always remain in about vertical position.

In WO 2004/030 497 A1 discloses a display of a stand is disclosed, which comprises at least one open-front, vertical chamber with rearwardly rising support elements and a pedestal, which stand is equipped with inserted trays. The support elements have openings, grooves and / or support edges for receiving plug-in means of the trays, which lock them and stabilize the stand.

The inventor has set itself the task of further improving a display of the type mentioned and to expand its use. The trays are not only flat, but also, for example, prismatic, pyramidal, truncated pyramidal, spherical, ellipsoidal or egg-shaped products are offered, which slip after removal of one or more forward cargo.

The object is achieved according to the invention that in the stand of a depth ts one of the number of front openings corresponding number rear, is also formed over the entire width bs extending openings, which at least one tray of a length ts + #ts are penetrated, where

the height hA of the rear openings is equal to or slightly greater than the height hT of the inserted trays,

the inclination angle # of the trays with respect to the horizontal is determined by the level difference #h of the supporting edges of the rear and front openings and the depth ts of the stands,

- At the upper edge of the rear opening at least one inserted into a corresponding insertion slot of the upper rear edge of the tray insertion tab is formed, and

- The upper stop edge of the front opening is at a higher level than the upper edge of the corresponding rear edge of the stand.

Special and further embodiments of the display are the subject of dependent claims.

The extra length #ts of the trays compared to the depth ts of the stand is necessary because of their skew. In contrast to known embodiments, the trays are according to the invention only on the support edge of the rear and front stator openings.

The support edges can be widened inwardly and thereby be reinforced by the punching of the rear and / or front openings inwardly - down foldable tabs are formed, which are glued to the corresponding inner side of the front and / or rear wall.

Both the Ständerais and the trays of the displays are preferably made of a folded blank or punching ling corrugated cardboard or cardboard with adapted to the requirements of rigidity, mechanical and chemical resistance if necessary. As mentioned, in addition to the vertical end wall of a display and the back wall openings, so that the trays can be easily inserted and removed as needed individually.

Next, arranged in the trays piece goods should be presented clearly visible to a consumer. The front wall of the stand therefore consists of relatively narrow connecting webs, which nevertheless ensure sufficient stability. Further, in the front wall of the trays recesses, also called Decolletées, arranged, which make the product offered better visible and facilitate the removal. Especially with only a part of the entire width of the tray extending products, this recess may be covered with a transparent insert, possibly with narrow vertical slots to facilitate the removal.

The number and arrangement of the vertical chambers in a stand is in principle arbitrary, it is determined by the number of openings and is determined by practical and visual factors. To improve the stability and / or for visual reasons, several stands can be juxtaposed and releasably connected together by means known per se.

For manufacturing reasons, the lowest possible number of standard shapes and dimensions are sought for the stands and trays.

CH 697 429 B1

The displays in turn should preferably be dimensioned so that they have a total of their base area a mass of standard pallets, in smaller embodiments, half or a quarter thereof.

Several stands have expediently a common base, in particular a folding base. For transport and storage, it is preferable, as is known per se, to use a stuffer, i. an adapted hood down to the base or beyond, applied and optionally fixed with a strapping. The filled trays inserted into the stands are completely closed for further stabilization of the display, they are only opened at the point of sale.

The inclination angle # of the trays is preferably in the range of 5 to 25 °, in particular in the range of 10 to 20 °. Depending on the product, an angle is selected which makes the gliding just possible, ie the inclination angle # is as small as possible. This can be improved if necessary, by the bottom surface of the trays has a lubricious layer or is covered with a lubricious liner. This can be sprayed or inserted before or after folding.

The generally rectangular openings in the rear wall of the stand must be at least as high as the trays formed and adapted to the shape. The penetration of the rear wall of the stand by the inserted trays ensures a perfect support in the stand and increases the stability of the entire stand. The inclination of the trays causes the same size openings of the rear wall of the stand jamming, which has an additional positive effect on the stability, but only at small angles of inclination # is possible.

However, especially at larger angles of inclination # the rear opening is slightly higher than the trays formed. Preferably, this is done according to the formula hA = hT / cos # (1), where hA is the height and # the angle of inclination of the rear opening in the display, hT means the height of the trays.

Since according to the invention not the trays abkragende guide members, which are inserted into corresponding openings of the stand, but the trays are "hooked" in push-in tabs of the stand, the height hT of the trays not only a maximum, but also a minimum limit. The loaded trays have a vertical clearance in the rear openings of the stand of at most about 50%, preferably at most about 10%, of the depth tE of the tuck-off tabs projecting from the upper edge of the openings in the stand rear wall.

The Einstecklaschen may on one side a fold line, also called Rill, have, in particular an inner groove of the stand. So they can follow a relatively small tilt in inclination angle # of the trays used. With a groove, the taps are less rigid, but still give the trays a sufficient grip.

The trays are formed substantially or completely cuboid. On the rear, upper edge of the insertion tabs corresponding insertion openings are arranged. In the case of insertion tabs that are made more flexible by at least one groove, the insertion openings arranged in the rear area of the trays, preferably on the upper rear edge, can have little clearance relative to these. However, the insertion openings can also be made wide, extended to a multiple of the thickness of the insertion tabs, in particular if a tray is covered in the rear area.

According to a variant, the front side of the trays at an angle 90 ° - # run inwards and in the stand parallel to the front of the display.

Briefly summarized, the display according to the invention has the following essential advantages:

- The insertion and removal of the trays is simplified, for retracting the Einstecklaschen the front of a tray can be lifted up to the stop edge of the front openings and lowered after hanging, the hinged tray engages the rear wall of the stand and rests on the rear and front support edge ,

- The penetration of the rear wall of a stand through the tray causes a secure bearing surface and self-stabilization.

- The trays have no abkragenden plug-in parts, which facilitates transport and storage outside the display and compacted.

- The inventive trays can also be placed in a conventional shelf display, if no fiction, according to the display is available or takes up too much space.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawing, which are also the subject of dependent claims. They show schematically:

9 is a perspective view of a display obliquely from behind.

A shown in Fig. 1 punched or blank for a stand 10 of a display 12 (Fig. 8, 9) made of corrugated cardboard with vertical corrugations and both sides of the cover sheets. In the viewing direction, the upper inner side of the stator 10 is shown. The stamped product of the upright 10, which like the other stamped pieces can also be a blank, essentially comprises an end wall 14, a rear wall 16, two side walls 18, 20, which casing parts are delimited by folding lines or grooves 22, 24, 26. Along the rear wall 16, an adhesive flap 30 is formed over a further fold line 28.

From the front wall 14 are punched out at regular intervals in pairs rearward folding flaps 32, it remains only relatively narrow connecting webs 34 left. The fold lines 33 in the region of the flaps 32 may, as indicated in Fig. 1, be formed as a double groove. The flaps 32 can be glued to the side walls 18, 20, whereby the stability of the stator 10 is markedly increased. In a portion of the flaps 32 parallelogram-shaped openings 36 are recessed, which receive after insertion on the side walls form-fitting connectors 38 (Fig. 7) made of folded corrugated cardboard and thus lead to a further improved stability of the stator 10. These connectors 38 are guided by long rectangular openings 40 in the side walls 18, 20. These openings can be arranged according to a variant, not shown, instead of horizontally in a tilt angle #. Further, these openings 40 may be omitted if the display includes only a stand or if it is an outer wall of the display.

After folding the flaps 32 against the sidewalls 18, 20, a tray 42 (Figure 3) may be inserted into the formed front opening 44 with the flaps 32 folded over. Tray 42 is loaded with general cargo during insertion. According to a variant, not shown, the front opening 44 can be punched out without the formation of flaps 32.

In the upper part of the blank drawing 32 foldable, one another foldable tabs 57 are formed for the formation of a cover.

The connecting webs 34 form the upper stop edge 46 and the lower support edge 48 for an inserted tray 42 (FIG. 3). According to a variant, not shown, the lower support edge 48 may be formed reinforced by a portion of the connecting web 34 folded and expediently glued on the inside with this.

Rear openings 50 are punched out of the rear wall 16 in the same grid, the height hA of which corresponds at least to the height hT of the trays 42 (FIG. 2), preferably according to formula (1) given above. In each rear opening 50 collar present down from two insertion tabs 52 from which in this case have a depth tE of presently about 1.5 cm with respect to the upper edge 59 in the present case. According to variants, one or more than two insertion tabs 52 and correspondingly in the trays 42 insertion slots 84 may be formed.

In the rear wall 16, a horizontal slot 54 is recessed in the lower extended region, which is the Ver-locking with a tab of a folding base 136, not shown, of a display 12 (Fig. 8, 9) for at least one stand 10 is used.

In the lowermost area of the blank drawing for the stand 10 a plurality of repositionable tabs 56 are shown, which can be folded to a non-essential to the invention floor. After a variant, not shown, these tabs 56 can be omitted without further notice.

The tangent of the inclination angle # of the loaded trays 42 (Fig. 2) is calculated as follows from the level difference #h of a seat edge 58 of the rear opening 50 and the seat edge 48 of the corresponding front opening 44 and the depth ts of the stand 10:

tg # = # h / ts (2)

For the insertion of the trays 42 is essential that the upper stop edge 46 of a front opening 44 is at a higher level than the support edge 58 of the corresponding rear opening 50. Thus, the corresponding tray 42 during insertion and removal so far can be raised so that the insertion tabs 52 can be inserted into the tray 42 and removed from it.

According to a particular embodiment, the insertion tabs 52 may have an indicated fold line or a crease 60, which allows the tuck tabs 52 to be slightly flexible in the region of the inclination angle # but nevertheless mechanically stable.

The blank drawing according to FIG. 2 for a tray 42 essentially comprises a bottom surface 62, each with a corresponding fold lines or rills 64, 66, 68, 70 formed on the rear wall 72, end wall 74 and side walls 76,78.

CH 697 429 B1

Also via a fold line 80 a shortened cover surface 82 is integrally formed on the side wall 78. The shortening of the top surface 82 takes place at the point of sale by removing the hatched part along tear lines 81. In the rearmost area of this top surface 82, two relatively wide insertion slots 84 of a width bE for the insertion tabs 52 (FIG. The width of the insertion slots 84 facilitates the latching of the trays 42 and forms the necessary leeway for different angles of inclination #. The insertion slots 84 may be covered with a stamped foldable flap. The insertion slots 84 can be formed by impressing only at one point indicated tear lines 83.

By removing the hatched portion of the end wall 74 along a tear line 75, an opening 86 can be recessed which allows for better presentation and easier grasping of the filled piece goods, for example, prismatic Toblerone chocolates with an equilateral triangular section. For other piece goods, the viewing opening 86 may also be covered with a transparent film.

The length ts + # ts of the tray 42 must be greater than the depth ts of the stand 10 (FIG. 1), so that the inserted tray 42 is still securely on the lower support edge 48 of the front opening 44 even at a maximum inclination angle # (Fig. 1) rests.

The blank drawing according to FIG. 2 also includes a series of foldable adhesive tabs 88, which give the tray the necessary stability, but are not named individually.

Further, an additional, indicated by dashed lines fold line 79 in the top surface 82 form an approximately half Umlegen and a vertical arrangement for a shelf tray. The Tray 42 is multifunctional, which is a significant advantage in practice.

In the three-dimensional representation of a tray 42 according to FIG. 3, a folded and glued blank according to FIG. 2, the hatched part, which protects the contents and stabilizes the loaded display, has already been removed.

The corrugated cardboard 90 for the uprights 10 (FIG. 1) according to FIG. 5 has a stronger and more rigid construction than the corrugated cardboard 92 for the trays 42 (FIG. 3) according to FIG. 4. The corrugated cardboard 90 comprises two different corrugations 94 , 96, which are arranged between two cover sheets 98, 102 and separated by an intermediate sheet 100. The corrugated cardboard 92 for the trays 42 must have a lower mechanical strength and flexural rigidity, a simple corrugated layer 104 between two cover sheets 106, 108 is sufficient.

Fig. 6 shows a blank drawing of a prismatic intermediate column 110 for connecting two uprights 10 (Fig. 1, 3). The intermediate column 110 has an octagonal section of an isosceles triangle. The connecting walls 112, 114, like the uprights 10, have elongated openings 40 for the insertion of plug connections 38 (FIG. 7). A slightly narrower end wall 117 is suitable for advertising or other striking advertising appearance. After the connecting walls 112, 114 have been folded over fold lines 116, 118 and a likewise foldable adhesive flap 120, the intermediate column 110 can serve as a middle part of an angled display 12. Three foldable into one another after folding tabs 122 form a top surface.

Fig. 7 shows connectors 38 for two posts 10 (Fig. 1) or a stand 10 with an intermediate column 110 (Fig. 7). After flipping and any gluing of tabs 124, 126, the connectors 38 are bent at right angles to the same side along fold lines 128, 130 into a substantially U-shape and into the elongated openings 40 of two uprights 10 or a stand to be joined 10 hooked with an intermediate column 110. In this case, the folded legs engage with the tabs 124, 126, the side walls in the region of the connecting edges 132,134, but assume no support function for the trays 42. In an arrangement of the openings 40 in a tilt angle # the connectors 38 are formed in pairs mirror-symmetrical.

The display 12 shown in Fig. 8 and 9 comprises two stands 10 with an intermediate column 110. The intermediate column 110, with an advertising not shown on the free surface 117, is via invisible connectors 38 (Fig. 7) with each Both the uprights 10 and the intermediate column 110 are inserted into a folding base 136 folded from corrugated cardboard and latched via horizontal slots 54 in the uprights 10 (FIGS. 1, 3). A designed according to the floor plan of the display 12 Stülper may extend to the folding base 136 or beyond and both provide protection and contribute to the mechanical stability.
