Description

The invention relates to a sales facility according to the preamble of the first claim.

Numerous solutions are known in which a container is designed into a shopping facility.

For example in print DE 10 2018 003 491 A1 A vending machine is described, with a plurality of goods compartments and / or goods containers and at least one goods dispensing device as well as with means for selecting goods, paying for the goods and activating the goods dispensing device. This is designed as a walk-in, approximately cuboid container that has a floor, a top wall, two long side walls and two narrow side walls and is transportable, with the goods compartments and / or goods containers inside the container being arranged essentially along the container walls. At least one side wall of the container has a door and at least one terminal is arranged inside the container, via which the selection and payment of the goods takes place as well as the release of doors or flaps of the goods compartments or the triggering of the ejection of the respective goods from a goods container a goods output shaft or the like.

From https://www.24-7-shop.de a container-based “mini market” is known in which vending machines are used. A container was converted here.

It is not clear whether an alarm is triggered in the event of a fire or a break-in, or whether the door opens safely in the event of a fire. The 24/7 shop is strictly designed for vending machine sales.

A container is not flexible and always remains a container in terms of structure. The disadvantage is the inflexible design of the container, which has limited dimensions. Furthermore, access authorization to the container has not been clarified and the power supply is not self-sufficient.

The object of the invention is to develop a sales facility in the form of a “mini supermarket” that can be flexibly adapted to local conditions.

This object is achieved according to the invention with the features of the first protection claim. Advantageous refinements result from the subclaims.

The sales facility has a basic building in the form of a tiny house, with a floor area of up to 60m ² in particular, the roof being equipped with a solar system, in particular at least one balcony power plant, for power supply.

It is possible to equip the tiny house with or without wheels. The outer walls are preferably made of wood or another suitable material and in particular have the same layer structure with the appropriate insulation as in the prefabricated house. This makes the construction much more flexible, environmentally friendly and sustainable than using a container.

Of course, the floor area can also be larger, or several tiny houses can be arranged next to each other and combined with each other, resulting in a total area that may be larger than 60m ² .

The tiny house also has free fast charging stations for cell phones and/or e-bikes and/or e-scooters. Free air compressors for bicycle tires are also provided.

The free fast charging stations for cell phones are preferably located inside and for e-bikes and/or e-scooters outside.

The tiny house also has vending machines inside for the products to be sold. These are the most important products for daily needs such as groceries, baby diapers, pet food and the like, but also vending machines for bicycle tubes and possibly other accessories for bicycles.

For example, the goods are preferably collected and paid for directly at each individual vending machine in cash, by card or by smartphone.

This means that several people can enter and leave the sales facility at any time and it is ensured that the goods have been paid for.

The sales facility can, for example, be located next to a supermarket and provide access during times when the supermarket is closed.

Furthermore, the sales facility can be located on busy cycle paths and/or hiking trails or in places where there are no other shopping options.

The sales facility is therefore a kind of “gas station” for pedestrians and cyclists net can be when the supermarkets are closed or are always open.

Access authorization is preferably regulated via an app, through which anyone who wants to enter the sales facility must identify and register. Access is only activated after successful identification and registration. Alternatively, free access may also be possible.

Video surveillance is also provided outside and/or inside.

It is also possible to make an announcement via a loudspeaker to the people who are in and/or at the sales facility to alert them to certain undesirable behavior.

The sales facility according to the invention is constructed modularly as a tiny house made of wood and metal in dimensions that differ from containers.

The focus is on many of the customer's needs. For the first time, a sales facility in the form of a tiny house with a photovoltaic system that offers free electricity for charging devices via USB will be provided. Furthermore, at least one bicycle hose machine and at least one compressor for bicycles are advantageously available. A green roof, for example with moss, emphasizes the environmental aspect.

To protect visitors, surveillance is provided using one or more video cameras.

In addition, news can be sent via one or more electronic information boards that are attached to the inside and/or outside of the sales facility. Screen broadcast to users, such as local news and so on. You can also use the information board to draw attention to special offers.

The customer is offered a “stop” to relax that has not yet existed in this form. Vending machines in containers have been around for a long time. But there are no machines in a tiny house, especially not with the intended equipment.

A tiny house is fundamentally different from a shipping container. The overall package is also different.

The sales facility has an exhaust system in the event of a fire and opens the door automatically in the event of a fire.

For this purpose, not only a conventional fire detector is provided, but also a monitoring device that can detect a fire and advantageously reports it to the fire department. Of course, the integrated video surveillance also helps to detect the event of a fire.

The sales facility according to the invention is intended to become a gathering point for customers/users thanks to the additional features. The main focus is on convenience.

By designing it as a tiny house, the facilities are inexpensive and can be highly customized or standardized for a market or local conditions.

The invention is explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments and associated drawings.

Show it:

• 1 a schematic sketch of a variant as a 3D view from a first direction, with only partial wooden cladding,
• 2 a schematic sketch of the variant 1 as a 3D view from a second direction, with only partial wooden cladding
• 3 the top view according to 1 and 2 ,
• 4 the front view according to 1 and 2 , without external cladding,
• 5 a schematic sketch of the variant 1 and 2 from the direction of the rear wall with partial external cladding,
• 6 the side view of a variant with a roof in the area of the rear wall and with at least one bench and at least one table as well as charging stations and air compressors on a side wall.

In the 1 to 5 Various views of a tiny house 1 are shown, which is designed as a sales facility.

It has a base plate 1a, a roof 1b, a front wall 1c with a door 2, two side walls 1d and a rear wall 1e. On roof 1b, which is in the 1-3 and 5 is indicated by dashed lines, a solar system in the manner of a balcony power plant 3 is provided. First, a framework is made from profiles 4, which are then covered with panels 5, preferably made of wood. Vending machines 6 for the products to be sold are arranged next to each other on the inside of the two side walls 1d.

The construction based on a metal framework made of individual metal profiles and wood enables a modular construction that can be adapted to the sales purpose and local conditions.

In 3 It is indicated that a power strip 7 for charging cell phones or the like and charging stations 8 for e-bikes or e-scooters and a compressor 9 are provided on the inside of the free area of the rear wall 1e.

6 shows a variant of a sales facility 1 in a side view, in which the roof 1b is also extended as a roof over the rear wall 1e. For example, at least one bench 10 and one table 11 are then positioned under the roof. In this variant, a power strip 7 is also provided on the rear wall 1e, which is preferably used to charge cell phones.

The charging stations 8 for e-bikes or e-scooters and one or two compressors are provided on the outside of a side wall 1d. According to an embodiment not shown, the roof can also extend over one or both side walls 1d and possibly also over the front wall 1c.

Furthermore, the sales facility has a monitoring device in the event of a fire, through which the door opens or whose locking mechanism is disabled so that the door can also be opened manually. Furthermore, a suction device is advantageously put into operation, which sucks out the resulting smoke.

The solution according to the invention creates a self-sufficient sales facility that enables supermarket customers to shop even after the store closes.

Furthermore, by positioning on hiking trails or cycle paths, the possibility of a rest stop can be created where hikers or cyclists can purchase and consume drinks and snacks. There is also the option of charging the batteries free of charge or refilling the tires with air.

It is still possible to position such sales facilities next to hardware stores or garden centers and to give customers the opportunity to purchase certain products even after the store closes.

The sales device according to the invention prevents “stealing” by only allowing access with an EC card and paying at the machine again with an EC card. Burglary is pointless as there is video surveillance.

The sales facility preferably has a floor area of up to 45 ² m, but depending on the expected frequency and local conditions it can also be larger, for example up to 60 ² m.

According to an exemplary embodiment not shown, it is also possible to put two or more tiny houses together so that the floor area is increased.

As already described, the tiny house is preferably equipped with a PV system or, additionally or alternatively, with another system for a renewable and self-sufficient power supply.

This makes it possible to provide free charging power for mobile phones, laptops or devices with a USB port.

Lead gel batteries are preferred for energy storage as they have very little or no chance of fire.

The roof is preferably a slightly sloping roof in order to optimally align the PV modules and specifically direct the flow of rainwater.

The roof is advantageously covered with plants, for example moss.

The additional electrical supply cable required, for example, comes from the tenant. The connection is preferably made via a CEE16 amp plug.

The tiny house has two versions. Mobile on wheels or tires, like a trailer or not mobile and therefore standing without wheels or tires.

The external appearance depends on the wishes of the end customer. It can be covered with wood or other materials on the outside.

The tiny house preferably has a sliding door that is activated via access control, for example using an EC, Master or Visa card.

The vending machines set up in the tiny house depend on the end customer in terms of the goods they offer. The vending machines can be operated cashless with age verification.

Fire protection and security systems are preferably provided.

The tiny house has a central system (intelligence) or a central control.
