Description

La présente invention est relative à un meuble présentoir réfrigéré destiné, notamment, mais non exclusivement, à la vente des fromages.The present invention relates to a refrigerated display cabinet intended, in particular, but not exclusively, for the sale of cheeses.

Actuellement, dans les magasins dits «grandes ou moyennes surfaces» deux procédés sont utilisés pour la vente des fromages: le premier, traditionnel, consiste à utiliser un rayon «coupe» où le fromage est servi par la crémière tandis que le second consiste à offrir des fromages conditionnés placés dans des vitrines réfrigérées.Currently, in so-called “large or medium-sized stores”, two processes are used for the sale of cheeses: the first, traditional, consists in using a “cup” department where the cheese is served by the dairy while the second consists in offering packaged cheeses placed in refrigerated display cases.

Ces deux procédés présentent des inconvénients. Dans le premier cas, s'il est indéniable que le rayon «coupe» apporte une animation dans le magasin, ce procédé est peu rentable en raison des charges et des frais divers. Le rayon «conditionné» ne présente pas ces inconvénients mais le fromage offert souffre d'une mauvaise image de marque, auprès de la clientèle, qui peut résulter du fait que les meubles réfrigérés actuels se prêtent mal à une bonne information des consommateurs.These two methods have drawbacks. In the first case, if it is undeniable that the "cutting" department brings animation to the store, this process is not very profitable due to the various charges and costs. The "packaged" department does not have these drawbacks, but the cheese offered suffers from a poor brand image with customers, which may result from the fact that current refrigerated furniture does not lend itself to good information for consumers.

Par ailleurs, les meubles réfrigérés existants sont conçus sous une forme linéaire ne permettant pas leur emploi dans les magasins dits «moyennes ou petites surfaces».Furthermore, existing refrigerated furniture is designed in a linear form which does not allow it to be used in so-called "medium or small surfaces" stores.

Dans le document US-A 2 030 780 on a décrit une vitrine rotative et réfrigérée comportant une colonne centrale sur laquelle sont fixées des étagères horizontales et superposées s'étendant sur plusieurs niveaux de façon continue autour de ladite colonne. Sous chaque niveau est disposé un serpentin évaporateur sous lequel sont placées des plaques inclinées vers le centre pour recueillir l'eau de condensation.In document US-A 2 030 780 a rotary and refrigerated display case has been described comprising a central column on which are fixed horizontal and superimposed shelves extending over several levels continuously around said column. Under each level is placed an evaporator coil under which are placed plates inclined towards the center to collect the condensation water.

La présente invention est relative à un meuble présentoir réfrigéré affectant une forme prismatique et présentant des niches sur chacune de ses faces, caractérisé en ce que chaque niche est réfrigérée et comporte un tableau pouvant recevoir un texte, en ce que l'ossature du meuble est réalisée par quatre panneaux verticaux, établis en une matière isolante, et par quatre petits panneaux verticaux, les panneaux précités étant assemblés de façon à ce que ladite ossature présente, en section horizontale, une configuration conforme à la figure 4 des dessins, et en ce que chaque niche est délimitée latéralement par les panneaux précités et, en haut et en bas, par deux étagères inclinées.The present invention relates to a refrigerated display cabinet having a prismatic shape and having niches on each of its faces, characterized in that each niche is refrigerated and includes a table that can receive a text, in that the frame of the furniture is produced by four vertical panels, made of an insulating material, and by four small vertical panels, the aforementioned panels being assembled so that said framework has, in horizontal section, a configuration in accordance with FIG. 4 of the drawings, and in that that each niche is delimited laterally by the aforementioned panels and, at the top and bottom, by two inclined shelves.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront mieux par la description qui va suivre, faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement, sur lesquels:Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows, made with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which:

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective du meuble de l'invention;Figure 1 is a perspective view of the furniture of the invention;

La figure 2 en est une vue en perspective éclatée et à plus grande échelle;Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view on a larger scale;

La figure 3 est une vue en coupe verticale à plus grande échelle du meuble;Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view on a larger scale of the cabinet;

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe horizontale du meuble;Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view of the cabinet;

La figure 5 est une vue partielle en coupe et à plus grande échelle encore du détail A de la figure 3;Figure 5 is a partial sectional view on a still larger scale of the detail A of Figure 3;

La figure 6 est une vue analogue à celle 5, mais à plus grande échelle, montrant une variante de réalisation.Figure 6 is a view similar to that 5, but on a larger scale, showing an alternative embodiment.

En se reportant à la figure 1, on voit que le meuble de l'invention se présente sous la forme d'un prisme comportant sur chacune de ses faces latérales des niches 1, réfrigérées, dans lesquelles sont placés les articles à vendre tels que des fromages, et un tableau 2 pouvant recevoir un texte (publicitaire ou comportant des informations relatives, par exemple, à l'origine ou à l'emploi des articles placés dans les niches).Referring to Figure 1, we see that the furniture of the invention is in the form of a prism having on each of its side faces niches 1, refrigerated, in which are placed the items for sale such as cheeses, and a table 2 which can receive a text (advertising or containing information relating, for example, to the origin or use of the articles placed in the niches).

Il y a lieu de noter que ce meuble se prête tout particulièrement à son emploi dans les magasins de surface réduite.It should be noted that this piece of furniture is particularly suitable for its use in stores with reduced surface area.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'ossature du meuble est constituée par quatre panneaux 3, établis en une matière isolante telle que le po- lyuréthane, et assemblés les uns aux autres par tous moyens appropriés.According to one embodiment, the frame of the piece of furniture is constituted by four panels 3, established in an insulating material such as polyurethane, and assembled to each other by any suitable means.

Comme montré notamment sur la figure 4 les panneaux 3 sont disposés de façon à ce que l'ossature présente, en section, un contour polygonal dont la même extrémité de chaque côté s'étend en 3a au-delà de celui adjacent.As shown in particular in Figure 4 the panels 3 are arranged so that the frame has, in section, a polygonal contour whose same end on each side extends in 3a beyond the adjacent one.

L'ossature décrite ci-dessus est complétée par des panneaux 4 fixés par un de leurs côtés contre le bord libre de la partie 3a des panneaux 3 correspondants.The framework described above is completed by panels 4 fixed by one of their sides against the free edge of the part 3a of the corresponding panels 3.

Les niches 1 sont délimitées par les panneaux 3, par ceux 4, par les parties 3a des panneaux 3 et par des étagères 5 inclinées.The niches 1 are delimited by the panels 3, by those 4, by the parts 3a of the panels 3 and by inclined shelves 5.

L'ensemble ainsi constitué repose sur une embase 6 en forme de tronc de pyramide dont la petite base repose sur le sol.The assembly thus formed rests on a base 6 in the form of a pyramid trunk, the small base of which rests on the ground.

L'embase 6, qui est creuse, est avantageusement utilisée pour loger le groupe frigorifique schématisé en 7 (figure 3).The base 6, which is hollow, is advantageously used to house the refrigeration unit shown diagrammatically at 7 (FIG. 3).

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, à chaque niche 1 correspond un évaporateur 8 relié aux niches susjacente et sous-jacente par l'entremise d'une canalisation 9.According to another characteristic of the invention, each niche 1 corresponds to an evaporator 8 connected to the overlying and underlying niches by means of a pipe 9.

Le fluide frigorifique provenant du groupe 7 est envoyé dans une canalisation 10, située au centre de l'ossature et se répartissant à la partie supérieure du meuble en n branches 11 (n étant le nombre de faces du meubles) raccordées chacune à la rangée verticale d'évaporateurs 8 correspondants.The refrigerant coming from group 7 is sent in a pipe 10, located in the center of the frame and distributed at the upper part of the cabinet in n branches 11 (n being the number of sides of the cabinet) each connected to the vertical row 8 corresponding evaporators.

La partie des canalisations 9 reliant les différents évaporateurs d'une même face du meuble comporte un dispositif tel que celui schématisé en 12 pour régler la section offerte au passage du fluide frigorifique de façon à ce que la même température règne dans toutes les niches. Un résultat analogue peut être obtenu en augmentant progressivement la section des canalisations 9 du haut vers le bas.The part of the pipes 9 connecting the different evaporators on the same side of the cabinet includes a device such as that shown diagrammatically at 12 for adjusting the section offered for the passage of the refrigerant so that the same temperature prevails in all the niches. A similar result can be obtained by gradually increasing the cross-section of the pipes 9 from the top to the bottom.

Devant chaque évaporateur est disposée une plaque 13, formant déflecteur, forçant les frigories à descendre vers des bacs 14 contenant les produits présentés et reposant sur les étagères 5, des moyens étant prévus pour qu'un espace 15 subsiste entre le fond desdits bacs et lesdites étagères.In front of each evaporator is disposed a plate 13, forming a deflector, forcing the frigories to descend to trays 14 containing the products presented and resting on the shelves 5, means being provided so that a space 15 remains between the bottom of said tanks and said shelves.

Le bord inférieur 13a des plaques formant déflecteurs est situé au-dessus du bord supérieur des bacs 14.The lower edge 13a of the plates forming the deflectors is situated above the upper edge of the tanks 14.

De cette façon l'air froid circule au-dessus et en dessous des bacs 14 selon les flèches F (figure 5). Comme montré sur les figures 3 et 5, des miroirs 16 sont disposés devant les plaques 13, lesdits miroirs ménageant un espace entre l'étagère supérieure et celle inférieure.In this way the cold air circulates above and below the tanks 14 according to the arrows F (FIG. 5). As shown in Figures 3 and 5, mirrors 16 are arranged in front of the plates 13, said mirrors providing a space between the upper shelf and the lower.

Chaque étagère 5 présente le long de son bord antérieur un rebord 17 se recourbant en 17a vers l'extérieur pour permettre le logement d'un dispositif d'éclairage 18.Each shelf 5 has along its front edge a flange 17 curving at 17a outwards to allow the housing of a lighting device 18.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le meuble qui vient d'être décrit peut se loger dans un habillage, de préférence en bois, constitué par des montants 19 réunis par des traverses 20 s'étendant au niveau des rebords 17a.According to another characteristic of the invention, the piece of furniture which has just been described can be housed in a covering, preferably made of wood, constituted by uprights 19 joined by cross-pieces 20 extending at the level of the flanges 17a.

Selon une variante, une gouttière 21 est disposée sous chaque évaporateur 8 et présente une bordure antérieure 22 s'étendant au-dessus du bord postérieur du bac 14 correspondant pour former déflecteur (figure 6).According to a variant, a gutter 21 is placed under each evaporator 8 and has an anterior border 22 extending above the rear edge of the corresponding tank 14 to form a deflector (FIG. 6).

Chaque gouttière 21 présente, en son point le plus bas, un orifice se raccordant à une canalisation 23 débouchant au-dessus de la gouttière sous-jacente. De cette façon, il est très facile d'évacuer l'eau de dégivrage provenant des évaporateurs.Each gutter 21 has, at its lowest point, an orifice connecting to a pipe 23 opening out above the underlying gutter. In this way, it is very easy to drain the defrost water from the evaporators.

La gouttière 21 a aussi pour fonction de diriger l'air froid sur le dessus des bacs 14 grâce à son déflecteur 22.The gutter 21 also has the function of directing cold air over the top of the tanks 14 thanks to its deflector 22.

Afin de pallier les inconvénients résultant du phénomène de condensation et pour évacuer les gouttes d'eau qui se forment, et ce, sans dommage pour les produits situés dans les bacs, le bord antérieur de chaque étagère 5 est muni d'une petite gouttière 24 recueillant l'eau de condensation et l'évacuant par l'entremise d'une canalisation 25 débouchant au-dessus de la gouttière 21 de la niche sous-jacente.In order to overcome the drawbacks resulting from the condensation phenomenon and to evacuate the drops of water which form, and this, without damage to the products located in the tanks, the front edge of each shelf 5 is provided with a small gutter 24 collecting the condensation water and discharging it via a pipe 25 opening out above the gutter 21 of the underlying niche.

La gouttière 24 est maintenue sous le bord antérieur de l'étagère par tous moyens usuels tels qu'en fixant ses extrémités aux parois latérales de la niche (non représenté) ou, comme montré sur le dessin, en solidarisant son bord antérieur à celui de ladite. étagère, et ce, dans le cas où un phénomène de condensation le long du rebord 17 n'est pas à craindre.The gutter 24 is held under the front edge of the shelf by any usual means such as by fixing its ends to the side walls of the niche (not shown) or, as shown in the drawing, by securing its edge anterior to that of said. shelf, and this, in the case where a phenomenon of condensation along the rim 17 is not to be feared.

Pour que la température dans toutes les niches soit la même et ne soit pas influencée par l'orientation du meuble, l'invention prévoit d'interposer, sur chaque branche 11 de répartition du fluide frigorifique, un dispositif tel que celui schématisé en 26 permettant de régler la section offerte au passage du fluide.So that the temperature in all the niches is the same and is not influenced by the orientation of the cabinet, the invention provides for interposing, on each branch 11 of distribution of the refrigerant, a device such as that shown diagrammatically by 26 allowing to adjust the section offered for the passage of the fluid.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté mais s'étend, au contraire, à toutes variantes de formes, matières et dimensions.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown, but extends, on the contrary, to all variants of shapes, materials and dimensions.
