Description

The present invention relates to a hinge for a dispenser and a dispenser for unpackaged goods, in particular baked goods with such a hinge.

From the prior art dispensing devices for unpackaged goods, especially baked goods are known, for example by the DE 20 2013 105 382 U1 . DE 20 2016 103 424 U1 , the WO 2014/118 202 A1 , the WO 2014/118 203 A1 and the DE 20 2013 100 425 U1 ,

Furthermore, from the prior art pivotable connecting and closing devices, in particular hinges, known, for example by the DE 20 2009 004 271 U1 . WO 2009/118 276 A1 . DE 10 2005 039 287 B4 . DE 197 44 514 A1 . US 2007/052251 A1 and DE 10 2005 014 924 B4 ,

The DE 10 2011 011 580 B3 discloses a bakery dispenser having a displaceable flap construction. This is designed in the form of a pivotable about a horizontal support axis closure part, which serves as a front removal opening. Furthermore, a multi-part hinge is provided, which has a base body for attachment to the flap construction.

It would be desirable to expand the pivoting possibilities of a door of dispensing devices to move in panic situations, for example, in the corridor of a supermarket protruding door of the dispenser simply and defined to pivot more.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to advantageously develop a hinge for an output device of the type mentioned in the introduction and an output device with such a hinge, in particular in that the hinge provides a nondestructive and reversible panic opening function of a door of an output device.

This object is achieved by a hinge with the features of claim 1 and an output device with the features of claim 11. Thereafter, it is provided that a hinge is provided for an output device, wherein the hinge is designed in several parts for attachment to a door of the dispenser, wherein the hinge has at least one base body and a pivotally arranged in the base body latch, wherein the bolt in a first position of the Hinge in and / or on the base body is held by at least one blocking element and wherein in at least a second position of the hinge, the bolt is swung out and / or after overcoming the holding resistance of the blocking element relative to the base body. The dispenser is equipped with such a hinge.

The invention is based on the basic idea that the hinge can assume at least two positions and that the assumption of the second position can be made only by overcoming a predefined resistance. This overcoming of the resistance is non-destructive. Such a configuration makes it possible to provide a panic function. For unpacked goods dispensers, particularly bakery products placed in retail outlets, the open door of the dispenser may protrude significantly into the passageway. If a dangerous situation arises in the retail business, the corridors also serve as escape routes and the opened door can be an obstacle. By the second position of the hinge, the door of the dispenser can be further pressed, d. H. The opening angle of the door can be increased, which makes it possible to further open the corridor. The door of the dispenser must therefore not be closed, but can be opened by overcoming the predefined resistance on. This feature is also called panic function.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the blocking element has a spring-loaded latching element which engages in the first position of the hinge in a recess in the bolt. By such a configuration of the blocking element, it is possible to ensure a secure locking of the bolt in the first position of the hinge. Also can be adjusted by the selection of the spring used, the resistance force and thus the measure of the force that is necessary to overcome the holding resistance of the blocking element in the context of the panic function.

In particular, it is conceivable that at least two blocking elements are provided. This makes it possible to lock the bolt at defined points in the first position of the hinge and to achieve a defined opening characteristic. Due to the redundancy, the reliability is also increased because an unwanted transfer to the second position of the hinge (such as failure of a spring towards the end of the life of the spring of the blocking element) can be avoided.

At least one damping element can be arranged near the pivot axis for the pivoting of the bolt relative to the base body be. This makes it possible that the reaching of the closed position and an open position is damped. The damping element may be formed, for example, as a rubber ball, rubber cylinder or the like.

The main body may be U-shaped. This makes it possible to fall back on standard components. Furthermore, the rigidity or the stability of the basic body is improved by the shaping.

The bolt may be sunk at least partially in the main body in the first position of the hinge. As a result, a space-saving design is achieved. The hinge can thus be designed comparatively small.

It is conceivable in particular that the bolt is received in a U-shaped body in the groove of the U-shaped body.

Furthermore, a Ausschwenkbegrenzung for the bolt can be provided relative to the base body to about 40 ° -50 °. This Ausschwenkbegrenzung may be formed by a stop or the like. It is also conceivable that the bolt or the damping element forms this stop.

The hinge may also have a gas spring by means of which the movements of the hinge can be supported and / or damped. It is conceivable, in particular, that the gas spring opposes no resistance when opening the door and the door is slowed down when the door is closed, because the gas in the gas spring must first be displaced when closing and thus worked against this resistance. As a result, a braked door closing movement or even a soft-close function (eg in conjunction with a further damping element) can be achieved.

The bolt may have a point of articulation for the gas spring. This allows a simple and reliable linkage.

The gas spring may be equally far or further deflected in the second position of the hinge than in the first position of the hinge. The deflection can z. B. by removing the gas spring. As a result, the opening movement can be supported as part of the panic function.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to an output device having at least one hinge.

The dispenser may include at least one door pivotally hinged to a body of the dispenser by means of the hinge, such that the door in the first position of the hinge opens in a range from the closed state of the door to a first open position at a first opening angle can be and that the door in the second position of the hinge, in particular to form a panic opening function, can be opened up to a second opening position with a second opening angle which is greater than the first opening angle.

The first opening angle can be selected in a range between about 80 ° to about 110 °, in particular be selected in a range between about 90 ° to about 100 °. This range is sufficient for the normal operation of the dispenser and allows customers a pleasant operation of the dispenser.

In addition, it can be provided that the second opening angle is selected in a range between about 140 ° to about 170 °, in particular in a range between about 145 ° to about 160 ° is selected. This range is sufficient to further impose the door in a panic situation when the panic function is needed so that the course of the market is sufficiently cleared to allow it to escape through the aisle.

Further details and advantages of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.
