Den foreliggende opfindelse angår enheder til brug ved salg af et sortiment af konfekturevarer, kiks, og lignende varer på mindre arbejdspladser, kontorer, klinikker, institutioner og tilsvarende steder med et begrænset antal forsamlede mennesker.The present invention relates to devices for use in the sale of a range of confectionery, biscuits, and similar goods in smaller workplaces, offices, clinics, institutions and similar places with a limited number of assembled people.

z større virksomheder, institutioner og lignende steder, hvor der er mange mennesker samlet dagen igennem, er der underlag for en kantine og tilsvarende faciliteter, som man kan nyde gavn af. Yderligere eller alternativt kan der være opstillet salgsautomater f.eks. med varme drikke, kolde drikke og konfekturevarer. Salgsautomater anvendes dog specielt, hvor der er stor gennemgang af mennesker, eller hvor man opholder sig uden for normale spisetider. På mindre arbejdspladser findes sådanne faciliteter overhovedet ikke; investeringerne og driftsomkostningerne er simpelthen for store ligesom omsætningshastigheden i varerne er for lille til, at de kan holde sig friske. Som alternativ ses indkøb på delebasis - en god idé, men det viser sig gang på gang, at det løber ud i sandet på grund af manglende selvjustits, og resulterer ofte i sociale problemer personalet imellem.z larger companies, institutions and similar places where there are many people gathered throughout the day, there is a basis for a canteen and similar facilities that you can enjoy. Further or alternatively vending machines may be set up e.g. with hot drinks, cold drinks and confectionery. Vending machines, however, are especially used where there is a large review of people or where you stay outside normal eating times. In smaller workplaces, such facilities do not exist at all; the investments and operating costs are simply too great and the turnover rate in the goods is too small for them to stay healthy. Alternatively, purchasing is seen on a sharing basis - a good idea, but time and time again it turns out that it runs out in the sand due to lack of self-justification, and often results in social problems among staff.

Ked opfindelsen er der imidlertid tilvejebragt en løsning baseret på den erkendelse, at man ikke kan tilbyde samme faciliteter som i en kantine, men alligevel kan faldbyde et fornuftigt sortiment til rimelige omkostninger.However, with the invention, a solution has been provided based on the realization that one cannot offer the same facilities as in a canteen, but can still offer a reasonable range at a reasonable cost.

Opfindelsen er ejendommelig ved, at et første sæt af enheder udgøres af mindst et centrallager, og hvor et andet sæt af et forholdsvist stort antal af enhederne udgøres af kasser for selvbetjening, udformet så varerne ligger umiddelbart frit tilgængelige for personerne, og at kassen omfatter en mindre løs temmelig æskedel, hvori betalingen for varerne erlægges, hvilke kasser er opstillet p& lokaliteterne samt et tredie antal enheder, der virker som udbringningsenheder, der fra centrallage- 2 DK 95 00213 U3 ret holder varesortimentet i kasserne ajour og samtidig tømmer pengeboksen. Fra et centrallager kan salgskasserne fyIdesi fortrinsvis ud fra den enkelte kundes specifikationer og bringes ud, f.eks. med varebil alternativt budcykel i tæt bebyggelse. Kasserne anbringes et let tilgængelig sted for personalet, f.eks« receptionen. Personalet kan frit efter behov købe fra kassen, og betalingen sker ved møntindkast i betalingsenheden. Det viser sig hensigtsmæssigt at have et varesortiment med enhedspris, dvs. alle varerne koster det samme, hvilket letter administreringen. Med faste mellemrum serviceres kassen, der fyldes op med varer, ligesom der kan udskiftes varegrupper, yderligere tømmes betalingsenheden.The invention is characterized in that a first set of units is constituted by at least one central store, and wherein a second set of a relatively large number of units is constituted by self-service boxes, designed so that the goods are readily accessible to the persons and the box comprises a less loose pretty box in which payment for the goods is paid, which boxes are set up at the premises and a third number of units which act as delivery units which from the central warehouse keep the product range in the boxes up to date and at the same time empty the money box. From a central warehouse, the sales boxes can preferably be based on the specifications of the individual customer and brought out, e.g. with van or alternative bicycle in dense buildings. The boxes are placed in an easily accessible place for the staff, eg the reception. Staff can freely buy from the box as needed, and the payment is made by coin toss in the payment unit. It seems appropriate to have a product range with unit price, ie. all the goods cost the same, which facilitates administration. At regular intervals, the box that is filled with goods is serviced, and groups of goods can be replaced, the payment unit is further emptied.

Hvis der gentagne gange ikke er overenstemmelse mellem betalingerne og varerne, er det let at ophæve kontrakten og fjerne varesortimentet. Ved en åbenlys anbringelse af kassen vil selvjustitsen sikre korrekt afregning af de indkøbte varer.If there is repeatedly no agreement between payments and goods, it is easy to cancel the contract and remove the product range. By obvious placement of the box, the self-justification will ensure correct settlement of the purchased goods.

Salgskasserne kan designes med høj æstetisk kvalitet, men dog ganske billige fortrinsvis af bølgepap. Kasserne udføres med en passende ruminddeling for optagelse af forskellige varegrupper, og med en tilhørende æskedel til modtagelse af betalingsmidlerne. Denne æskedel er udført som et selvstædnigt bokselement, der kan optages fra kassen til tømning, f.eks. i forbindelse med servicering af kassen, idet bokselementet er i styrende forbindelse med kassen og er således udformet, at det synsmæsigt danner en del af selve indramningen af kasseåbningen, fortrinsvis ved anbringelse langs med en smalside af kassen. Navnlig når boksens forside er påtrykt en betalingsanvisning vil hele kassen fremtræde med et professionelt, halv'autoritært' udseende, som befordrer kundernes villighed til at erlægge den nødvendige betaling.The sales boxes can be designed with high aesthetic quality, but still quite cheap, preferably of corrugated cardboard. The boxes are made with a suitable room division for the admission of different groups of goods and with a corresponding box part for receiving the means of payment. This box part is designed as a self-contained box element which can be taken up from the box for emptying, e.g. in connection with servicing the box, the box element being in direct communication with the box and being designed to form part of the box opening itself visually, preferably by being arranged along a narrow side of the box. In particular, when the box front is printed with a payment instruction, the entire box will appear with a professional, semi-authoritarian look that promotes the customers' willingness to make the necessary payment.

Frembringelsen forklares i det følgende nærmere under henvisning til tegningen, på hvilken 3 DK 95 00213 U3 fig. 1 er et perspektivbillede af en salgskasse, medens fig. 2 er et udsnit af en sådan kasse.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sales box, while FIG. 2 is a section of such a box.

Den i fig. l viste kasse består af en sortiments-æske 2, fortrinsvis udført med vægge bestående af ombukket, tyndt bølgepap, således at de frie kanter står som afrundede og forholdsvis stive kanter. Kassen er ruminddelt mede skillevægge 4 af tilsvarende udførelse, og eventuelt kan et kasselåg være anbragt i foldet tilstand som et reklameskilt 6. Ruminddelingen er i størrelse hensigtsmæssigt tilpasset standardstørrelser på konfekturevarer, hvilket i høj grad er med til at gøre kassen både bruger- og servicevenlig.The FIG. 1, the box shown consists of an assortment box 2, preferably made with walls consisting of folded, thin corrugated cardboard, so that the free edges stand as rounded and relatively stiff edges. The box is compartmentalized with partitions 4 of similar design, and optionally a box lid can be placed in folded condition as an advertising sign 6. The size of the compartment is suitably sized to standard sizes for confectionery products, which greatly helps to make the box both user and service friendly. .

I den ene smalende af kassen er indsat en lukket betalingsæske 8, ligeledes udført i det nævnte materiale og udført med en indføringsslids 10 for mønter/sedler. Æsken kan være forholdsvis tynd, og den strækker sig fortrinsvis over hele kassens bredde, hvorved den visuelt fremtræder som en del af selve kassen 2. Når der i denne benyttes en midterskillevæg 12, som derved skal være afskåret, kan der som vist i fig. 2 udføres en stabilisering af vægenden ved et indgreb 16,18 med boksen 8.Inserted in one taper of the box is a closed payment box 8, also made in said material and provided with a coin / banknote insert 10. The box may be relatively thin, and it preferably extends over the entire width of the box, thereby visually appearing as part of the box itself 2. When using a center partition 12, which must thereby be cut off, as shown in FIG. 2, a stabilization of the wall end is effected by an engagement 16,18 with the box 8.

Når boksen 8 er lejret op mod en smalside af kassen kan låg/skiltepladen 6 monteres ved nedstikning mellem boksen og den pågældende smalside.When the box 8 is mounted against a narrow side of the box, the lid / sign plate 6 can be mounted by sliding between the box and the corresponding narrow side.

Kassen fyldes op på et centrallager med et kundespecifikt sortiment sammensat ud fra de på lageret værende varer. Kassen bringes derefter ud til kunden og serviceres løbende, således holdes varesortimentet ajour og der foretages evt. udskiftning for at variere udbudet. Yderligere tømmes pengeboksen.The box is filled up in a central warehouse with a customer-specific assortment composed of the items in the warehouse. The box is then brought out to the customer and serviced on an ongoing basis, so the product range is kept up-to-date and if necessary. replacement to vary supply. Further, the money box is emptied.

industrikvarterer, erhvervsparker, bymidte med mange kontorer og lignende steder med en stor koncentration af mindre arbejdspladser kan med lethed overkommes af én person.industrial neighborhoods, business parks, city centers with many offices and similar places with a high concentration of smaller jobs can easily be overcome by one person.
