Description

Technical area

The The invention relates to a push handle for shopping carts, which has a magnifying glass, with the help of which the customer of a supermarket Information on the packaging of a product can be read more easily.

State of the art

Such a push handle is out of DE 20 2005 006 627 U1 known. There, a magnifying glass is disclosed, which is attached to the handle firmly and not removable.

This has the disadvantage that the use is ergonometrically uncomfortable, because the goods to be inspected must be kept under the handlebar. There is also the basket flap and for viewing larger Product packs is not enough space available.

From the DE 10 2004 042 433 A1 is a loupe attached to the shopping cart known, which is connected via a self-rolling rope from a holder pulled out with the shopping cart. This also makes it possible to view larger product packaging, but the disadvantage of this solution is that the user has only one hand free. Another disadvantage is that the magnifying glass can be pulled out at any time and the magnifying glass is not particularly protected when the shopping cart is parked in a collective garage for shopping carts.

Disclosure of the invention

Technical task

It The object of the invention is a magnifying glass for a shopping cart to create, which allows an ergonomically comfortable use and wherein the magnifying glass is protected when the shopping cart parked in a collective garage.

Technical solution

The considerations, which led to the emergence of the present invention went assume that the magnifier only during the use of Shopping cart is needed and the rest of the time protected.

• – die Lupe eine Ruhestellung einnehmen kann, in welcher sie geschützt am Schiebegriff des Einkaufswagens oder am Gehäuse des Pfandschlosses anliegt und
• – eine Leseposition einnehmen kann, in welcher sie sich vom Schiebegriff oder vom Gehäuse des Pfandschlosses entfernt befindet und in welcher eine bequeme Durchsicht möglich ist.

The object is achieved on the basis of the considerations that the magnifying glass is attached to the shopping cart via a pivoting mechanism on the push handle of the shopping cart or a pivoting mechanism on a depository associated with the shopping trolley, wherein

• - The magnifying glass can assume a rest position, in which it is protected against the push handle of the shopping cart or the housing of the deposit lock and
• - Can take a reading position in which it is located away from the push handle or the housing of the deposit lock and in which a comfortable view is possible.

Further considerations led to the realization that the magnifying glass then the rest position occupies when the shopping cart in another shopping cart is inserted. These considerations then led to the further realization that the magnifying glass first the rest position must have taken before the deposit coin is removed can and then the magnifying glass of a in the deposit lock stuck key in the rest position is fixed.

Advantageous effects

hereby Advantageously, the magnifying glass always causes when the shopping cart parked in a collection point is in the rest position. These Rest position is a position in which the magnifying glass is better against harmful Protected is protected than in the reading position.

hereby is it possible to choose a position as the reading position which is far away from the push handle or coin lock and thus the user is comfortable even a larger one Can consider product packaging without using the push handle or the basket flap to come into contact.

following an embodiment of the invention with reference to two Figures explained in more detail. It show each in cut representation:

1 the magnifying glass according to the invention in rest position,

2 the magnifying glass according to the invention in reading position.

On a handle tube 1 is a deposit lock 2 assembled. The magnifying glass 3 is in a holding part 4 integrated. The holding part 4 is about a camp 5 rotatable with the deposit lock 2 connected.

In the illustrated embodiment, the bearing is located 5 on a clamping part 6 , This clamping part 6 is used around the deposit lock 2 on the handle tube 1 to fix. Because the clamping part 6 one from the rest of the deposit lock 2 independent part is, this solution brings the advantage that an existing deposit lock can be retrofitted quickly and inexpensively with a magnifying glass by inventing only the existing clamping part against the new dungsgemäße clamping part is replaced.

As well It is of course possible already during the first installation a deposit lock to mount this with a magnifying glass.

Also it is according to the central idea of the invention feasible solution when the warehouse for the holding part is located on the main housing of the deposit lock.

In the 1 is a key 7 to see in the deposit lock 2 is inserted and by the holding mechanism inside the deposit lock 2 is held.

Out The clarity was based on the presentation dispenses with the holding mechanism, since this known to the skilled artisan anyway is.

The key 7 has a handle 7a whose to the deposit lock 2 directed side to a contact surface 4a of the holding part 4 suppressed.

Due to the kinematic conditions is now the holding part 4 over the camp 5 and the against the contact surface 4a pressing key handle 7a fixed.

The magnifying glass 3 is on top of the deposit lock 2 on.

The construction can also be designed so that the handle 7 accordingly firmly against the contact surface 4a presses and the holding part 4 is elastically deformed, causing it to be prestressed on the top of the deposit lock 2 rests.

Likewise, the top of the deposit lock 2 Also have a not shown in the drawing but imagine the skilled person depression in which the holding part 4 and the magnifying glass 3 then housed protected.

These protected and recessed accommodation increased the resistance of the structure to vandalism, because it offers a reduced attack surface.

Picture 2 shows the magnifying glass 2 in the reading position. By inserting a pledge element 9 became the key 7 Approved. As pawn element comes a coin 8th or a loyalty card.

This is also the holding part 4 has been released and is now around the camp 5 so far pivoted until the support 8th on the clamping part 6 is applied.

The magnifying glass 3 now has a slightly oblique position, which allows the user comfortably through the magnifying glass 3 through product packaging.

The magnifying glass 3 remains in this position without further action by the user, leaving the user with both hands free.

Instead of a magnifying glass 3 to carry the holding part 4 also be designed so that it can accommodate a drinking cup or a so-called electronic shopping assistant during the purchase.

in principle is the construction according to the invention for suitable for all applications in which a holder for any additional element during use of the shopping cart should be provided and this holder with a parked shopping trolley against external influence should be protected.

The The invention can be used anywhere in industry, where the Users of a shopping cart have an additional element to be asked.
