Sales shelf for self-packaged goods

The invention relates to a sales shelf for self-service packaged goods, in particular clothing, with receiving areas for the packaged goods.

Such sales shelves are set up in self-service markets, for example. In hardware stores, for example, work clothing packaged in self-service packaging is offered for sale on such sales shelves. Such self-service packaging usually consists of a transparent bag that is closed at its open end with a printed cardboard latch. This latch has an opening through which the entire packaging can be attached to a shelf hook. Accordingly, the self-service packaged goods are placed on hooks that protrude vertically from the shelf on sales shelves. This means that the clothing can be seen from its wider side, so that it is presented well to the customer. In addition, the customer can clearly read the print on the end latch of the self-packaging bag.

With such shelves for work clothes, the problem now is

that they take up a relatively large amount of space. However, in self-service markets there is often not enough space to set up such large shelves. Furthermore, it is often observed, especially with clothing, that the customer tears open the self-service packaging in order to try on the item of clothing. Once the packaging has been torn open, it can no longer be put back on the shelf and the item of clothing taken out of the packaging can no longer be offered for sale on the shelf.

The object of the present invention is therefore to create a sales shelf for self-service packaged goods, with which work clothing can be offered in a customer-friendly and space-saving manner.

The solution to this problem, based on a generic sales shelf for self-service packaged goods, is that the receiving areas for the self-service packaged goods are compartments in which the goods can be stacked in such a way that their narrow side faces the front of the shelf and that an area is provided in which unpackaged goods can be hung up or placed upright.

This means that the goods in the self-service packaging can be stacked much more densely. The customer can orientate himself in the area of the sales shelf in which samples of the goods on display, such as work clothing in different sizes, are displayed with regard to the goods on offer on the shelf without having to remove packaged goods from the self-service packaging.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the sales shelf according to the invention, compartments are provided in which the self-service packaged goods can be easily inserted. In addition, compartments can be provided in which the self-service packaged goods cannot be hung next to each other.

Information signs can be placed on the respective compartments so that the customer can quickly find the desired packaged goods. This eliminates the need to hang the corresponding self-service packaging on its broad side, where the customer can easily see the contents and a corresponding packaging label.

Further details and advantages of the invention emerge from the embodiments of the invention shown in the attached figure.

The figure shows an embodiment of a sales shelf according to the invention in a front view. The sales shelf 10 consists of a conventional tubular steel construction. The shelf is basically divided into three areas 12, 14 and 16. The areas 12 and 16 are divided into individual compartments 18, 18'. The middle area 14, which is framed by the areas 12 and 16, has a clothes rail on which unpackaged items of clothing 20 are hung. These items of clothing correspond to the packaged items of clothing stored in the compartments 18 and 18'. Appropriate items of clothing 20 in all offered sizes are advantageously hung in the area 14. Work shoes or boots can be placed on the floor of the area 14, which are protected from falling out by a grid 22.

In the compartments 18 of the areas 12 and 16, packaged goods are inserted in such a way that their narrow side faces the front of the shelf. In the areas 18', appropriately packaged goods 24 are hung. On the floor of the areas 12 and 16 there are boxes with work shoes 26.

Information signs 28 are assigned to the individual compartments. These information signs indicate the type and size of the self-service packaged goods located in the respective assigned compartment 18 or 18'.
