Franz Josef Lang, 6233 Kelkheim / Es., Ühlandstr. 5 Goods containers with drawers

Goods containers made of wire, wood, cardboard or plastic are known, which are used to present goods in shops, so-called Sales racks · Insofar as such sales racks are intended to accommodate goods that are protected against dirt or easy access should be, they are provided with a lid or door. At least one side of such sales stands is provided with a glass or plastic window *

The subject of the present invention is a goods container serving as a sales stand, which makes the lid or door and their time-consuming handling superfluous. The goods container made of wood or plastic consists of a frame that holds several drawers.These drawers, mainly made of crystal-clear thermoplastic, are closed at the top and only open on the sides and can be pulled out of the frame that completely covers them on both of its open sides. It is useful to prevent the drawers from being sifted out completely by means of appropriate restrictions, i.e. to allow the drawers to be pulled out up to only about J> / h of their length xu.Oa see, according to the invention, having the drawers pushed out of the frame on both sides is easy Filling of the goods container is ensured, as is the removal of goods

According to the invention, the drawers should slide on rollers or balls that run in limited tracks, these tracks for example are provided at half the height in the frame base and on the underside of the drawer. It is useful to have more roles or

Ball tracks also on the top of the drawer or on the Provide underside of the frame roof. According to a further idea of the invention, the arrangement of the rollers or balls in Their paths and their delimitation are done in such a way that the movement of the drawer towards the two is also limited Side effects, so it prevents the drawer completely can be pulled out

It is advantageous to keep the drawer in the rest position, i.e. in to lock the position in which the open sides of the drawer are fully covered by the frame walls. To achieve this ^ chen, appropriate resilient notches are to be provided, whereby, according to a special inventive concept, the rollers or balls as well this third task can be assigned. The ball tracks have depressions in the middle, which are pressed against each other by spring action and thus firmly onto the balls.

FIGS. 1 and 2 serve to illustrate the invention. It represent

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sales stand, consisting of two monitor containers arranged one above the other

FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through a goods container W FIG. 3 shows a detail from FIG. 2, namely the middle one

Part of the ball track when the drawer is at rest

Figure 1 shows two frames arranged one above the other, the lower frame (1) being shown empty, that is to say without the drawers that it is intended to hold, while the upper frame (2) is shown with three drawers is equipped, of which the drawer (3) is pulled out to the front, the drawer 15) to the rear, while the drawer (* O is in the rest position in which its open Sides are fully covered by the frame walls. The drawers are provided with handles (6). The frames (1) and (2) can be made from

Made of wood or plastic. They are advantageously made from a crystal-clear thermoplastic, which is also used for the drawers should exist to fully display the goods they have picked up. The drawers are entirely on four surfaces closed; the side walls are missing, so that the filling of the drawers and the removal of goods can be done easily as soon as the Drawer is pushed to one of the two open frame sides, such as drawer (3) or (5) in the figure 1. After removing the goods the drawer is returned to the rest position - see drawer (* f)

Figure 2, a longitudinal section through the goods container, leaves the arrangement the balls (7) on which the drawer should slide, as well as the ball tracks (8) that limit the movement of the balls. the Figure shows that the limitation of the ball tracks at the same time also the limitation of the movement of the drawers after the two Side effects. The third function of the balls is to lock the drawer in the rest position. If the drawer which is in the end position on the right in Figure 2, shifted to the left, so the balls (7) fall into the recesses (9) the ball tracks (8) and lock in place via the upper ball sockets (10) the drawer in its rest position. The ball sockets (10) are arranged in the resilient middle section of the ball tracks

The operation of this third function assigned to the balls becomes can be seen even better from FIG. 3, which shows a section of the figure, on an enlarged scale. The ball tracks (8) have recesses (9) into which the balls (7) easily fall. The ball tracks (11) on the underside of the drawer carry ball sockets (10) which are arranged in a resilient center piece. As soon as these ball sockets (10) encompass the balls (?) Lying in the recess (9), the drawer is in its middle position, the rest position, so locked its closed position.

The figures are intended to illustrate the concept of the invention, without to narrow it down to the shape shown. Other similar shapes of a goods container according to the invention are possible. The arrangement of a plurality of goods containers on top of one another is particularly advantageous; in Figure 1 is the arrangement of two such goods container shown. So you get a sales stand that can accommodate a variety of different goods from each other are separated and protected against contamination and unauthorized removal, are clearly displayed and after being pulled out the drawers can be easily removed from one of the two open sides *
