Abstract

A display unit for merchandise which is stored standing inside the unit strapped between a base tray and a lid tray, capable of being stored, transported and offered for sale via the topside, comprised of paperboard but, folded and glued in such a fashion as to form a block-shaped case. The case has a smooth lower section in which the merchandise can be stored with little lateral play between the side walls and the base tray. The side edges each display two v-shaped notches so that in a first section the side walls can be folded inwards and in a second section above said first section the side walls can be folded outwards approximately horizontally and a top section with vertical sides leading on from the second section. Plastic holders with fingers pointing inwards and a protective surface pointing downwards are slotted through an aperture near the folding line between the second section and the top section. In the first section where the fold slopes inwards, there are two lugs cut, respectively, below the protective surface. A rubber band is hooked into each of these lugs, led behind the protective surface and up along the outside surface of the top section where it is hooked onto a retaining tongue of the plastic holder. The lower edge of the lid terminates on a level with the inward fold of the first section.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Displayständer aus zugeschnittener, gefalteter und zu einem quaderförmigen Karton verklebter Wellpappe oder Hartpappe mit gesondertem Deckel für Waren, die im Inneren des Kartons, auf einem Bodentray stehend und mit einem Deckeltray zusammengeschnürt, lager- und transportierbar und zur verkaufsgerechten Darbietung auf der Oberseite des Kartons frei zugänglich aufstellbar sind.The invention relates to a display stand made of cut, folded and glued to a cuboid cardboard corrugated cardboard or hard cardboard with a separate lid for goods that stand inside the box, standing on a floor tray and tied up with a lid tray, storable and transportable and for sale-appropriate presentation on the The top of the box is freely accessible.

Displayständer, die gleichzeitig zum Lagern und Transportieren von Waren sowie zum anschließenden verkaufsgerechten Darbieten derselben dienen, sind allgemein bekannt und gebräuchlich. So zeigt beispielsweise das DE-GM 79 01 841 einen aus Faltmaterial hergestellten Bodenaufsteller mit einem rohrförmigen Fuß und einem an seiner Oberkante angelenkten Behälter für Waren. Für den Transport wird der Fuß, gegebenenfalls auch der Behälter flach zusammengefaltet. Zum Aufstellen wird der Fuß zunächst rohrförmig aufgefaltet. Gleichzeitig wird Druck auf die Materialteile zwischen drei parallelen Faltlinien ausgeübt, wodurch sich diese Wandteile nach innen falten, sich dort aneinander anlegen und dadurch einen den aufgefalteten Fuß stabilisierenden Umfangsflansch bilden. Zur Unterstützung des Auffaltvorgangs und der Stabilität kann auch ein Gummiband vorgesehen werden, welches die Wandteile nach innen zieht.Display stands which are used at the same time for storing and transporting goods and for subsequent presentation thereof are generally known and customary. For example, DE-GM 79 01 841 shows a floor stand made of folded material with a tubular base and a container for goods articulated on its upper edge. For transportation, the foot and, if necessary, the container are folded flat. To set it up, the foot is first folded out in a tube. At the same time, pressure is exerted on the material parts between three parallel fold lines, as a result of which these wall parts fold inwards, lie against one another there and thereby form a circumferential flange which stabilizes the unfolded foot. To support the unfolding process and stability, a rubber band can also be provided, which pulls the wall parts inwards.

Displayständer werden in erster Linie eingesetzt, um die Aufmerksamkeit des Käufers im Laden auf solche Waren zu lenken, die nicht in den üblichen Verkaufsregalen aufgestellt werden, sondern als Sonderverkaufseinheit vornehmlich in Kassennähe plaziert sind. Diese Displayständer werden vom Händler an ihren endgültigen Aufstellungsort gebracht, dort von ihrer ausschließlich für den Transport gedachten Umhüllung befreit und gegebenenfalls aufgefaltet. Die Waren müssen dann in eine verkaufsgerechte Lage gebracht werden, wenn sie nicht schon von Seiten des Herstellers entsprechend vorbereitet geliefert wurden.Display stands are primarily used to draw the buyer's attention in the store to goods that are not placed on the usual sales shelves, but rather are placed as a special sales unit primarily near the cash register. These display stands are brought to their final installation location by the dealer, where they are freed from their wrapping, which is intended exclusively for transport, and, if necessary, unfolded. The goods must then be brought into a position suitable for sale if they have not already been prepared by the manufacturer.

Von erheblicher Bedeutung ist, daß das Beseitigen der für den Transport gedachten Umhüllungen schnell geht und daß der Displayständer möglichst wenig Platz wegnimmt. Anderenfalls besteht die Gefahr, daß der Händler den Displayständer mitsamt den Waren in eine abgelegene Ecke des Verkaufslokals stellt, wo die Ware naturgemäß nicht auffällt und deshalb wenig gekauft wird, oder daß er die Waren aus dem Displayständer entnimmt und sie in eines der üblichen Verkaufsregale stellt, wo sie naturgemäß ebenfalls weniger auffallen und weniger zum Kauf anregen.It is of considerable importance that the removal of the coverings intended for transport is quick and that the display stand takes up as little space as possible. Otherwise there is a risk that the dealer will place the display stand together with the goods in a remote corner of the shop, where the goods are naturally not noticeable and therefore little is bought, or that he will remove the goods from the display stand and place them on one of the usual sales shelves , where they are naturally less noticeable and less stimulate to buy.

Eine weitere wichtige Eigenschaft ist, daß das Gewicht der transportfähigen Einheit nicht zu groß wird, so daß auch weibliches Ladenpersonal den gefüllten Displayständer an den Aufstellungsort transportieren kann, daß aber andererseits auch die Ware in der richtigen, zum Kauf anreizenden Griffhöhe plaziert werden kann.Another important property is that the weight of the transportable unit does not become too large, so that female shop personnel can also transport the filled display stand to the installation site, but that, on the other hand, the goods can also be placed at the correct handle height that is incentive to buy.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Displayständer der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der einfach herzustellen ist, während des Transports und der Lagerung die Waren gegen Beschädigungen schützt und in mehreren Einheiten ohne auszufüllenden Hohlraum übereinander stapelbar ist, der mit wenigen Handgriffen von möglichst geringen, für die eigentliche Warendarbietung unnötigen Verpackungsteilen befreit werden kann und der es erlaubt, die Waren mit einem Handgriff aus der Position für Lagerung und Transport in eine verkaufsgerechte Position zu bringen.The present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a display stand of the type mentioned, which is simple to manufacture, protects the goods against damage during transport and storage and can be stacked on top of one another in several units without a void to be filled, and which can be done in a few simple steps small packaging parts that are unnecessary for the actual presentation of goods can be exempted and which allows the goods to be moved from the position for storage and transport into a position suitable for sale with one hand.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß der Karton ein glattes Unterteil besitzt, in dem die Waren mit wenig seitlichem Spiel zwischen Seitenwänden und Bodentray lagerbar sind, daß im Bereich der Seitenkanten je zwei V-förmige Ausschnitte ausgeschnitten sind, so daß ein erster Abschnitt der Seitenwände zunächst schräg nach innen und ein zweiter, oben anschließender Abschnitt etwa waagerecht nach außen knickbar sind, daß ein Oberabschnitt mit glatten Flächen anschließend an den zweiten Abschnitt vorhanden ist, daß an Vorder- und Hinterfläche des Oberabschnittes je ein Kunststoffhalter mit nach innen gerichteten Haltefingern und einer nach unten gerichteten Schutzfläche durch einen Schlitz im Bereich der Knicklinie zwischen zweitem Abschnitt und Oberabschnitt gesteckt ist, daß im ersten, schräg nach innen geknickten Abschnitt unter den Schutzflächen je eine Öse eingeschnitten ist, daß in diese Ösen je ein Gummiring eingehängt ist, der hinter der Schutzfläche und auf der Außenseite des Oberabschnitts nach oben geführt und in eine Haltezunge der Kunststoffhalter eingehängt ist, daß die Unterkante des Deckels im Bereich des nach innen geknickten ersten Abschnitts endet und daß bei Lagerung und Transport der Deckel direkt auf einem Deckeltray aufliegt.This object is achieved in that the carton has a smooth lower part in which the goods can be stored with little lateral play between the side walls and the bottom tray, that two V-shaped cutouts are cut out in the area of the side edges, so that a first section of the side walls initially obliquely inwards and a second section adjoining at the top approximately horizontally to the outside, that an upper section with smooth surfaces is present next to the second section, that on the front and rear surface of the upper section each have a plastic holder with inward holding fingers and one downward protective surface is inserted through a slot in the area of the fold line between the second section and upper section, that in the first, obliquely inwardly bent section under the protective surfaces one eyelet is cut, that in each of these eyelets a rubber ring is hung, which is behind the Protective surface and on the outside of the top is cut up and suspended in a retaining tongue of the plastic holder, that the lower edge of the lid ends in the area of the inwardly bent first section and that the lid rests directly on a lid tray during storage and transport.

Damit ergeben sich die Vorteile, daß der Displayständer während Lagerung und Transport ein im wesentlichen quaderförmiges Gebilde mit glatten Seitenflächen darstellt, das optimal kompakt gestapelt werden kann, daß die Abmessungen an die jeweilige Ware leicht angepaßt werden können, daß nach Abnehmen des Deckels die Verschnürung, die die Waren zwischen dem Bodentray und dem Deckeltray zusammenhält, mit einem Handgriff zu fassen und mitsamt der Ware je nach Warenschichten einfach oder mehrfach aus dem Inneren des Kartons nach oben ziehbar ist, daß beim Hochziehen der Wareneinheit die nach innen geknickten und unter der Wirkung der Gummiringe stehenden Abschnitte federnd ausweichen, um dann, wenn der Bodentray die Engstelle überwunden hat, sofort wieder federnd ihre ursprüngliche Form anzunehmen, daß die Haltefinger der Kunststoffhalter in den Bodentray eingreifen und so verhindern, daß die noch zusammengeschnürte Wareneinheit aus dem Displayständer ganz herausgezogen werden kann und daß der Bodentray mit den auf ihm stehenden Waren auf dem zweiten, etwa waagerecht nach außen geknickten Abschnitt eine sichere Standfläche findet.This has the advantages that the display stand during storage and transport is an essentially cuboid structure with smooth side surfaces that can be stacked in an optimally compact manner, that the dimensions can be easily adapted to the respective goods, that after the cover has been removed, the lacing, which holds the goods together between the bottom tray and the lid tray, can be gripped with one hand and together with the goods, depending on the product layers, can be pulled up from the inside of the carton one or more times so that when the product unit is pulled up, the kinked inwards and under the effect of Eliminate rubber ring standing sections resiliently, then, when the bottom tray has overcome the constriction, immediately resiliently return to their original shape, that the holding fingers of the plastic holder engage in the bottom tray and thus prevent the still constricted unit of goods from the Displa y stand can be pulled out completely and that the floor tray with the goods standing on it finds a secure stand on the second, approximately horizontally bent section.

Das Display ist in seiner Höhe so konstruiert, daß bei Lagerung und Transport der Deckel direkt auf einem Deckeltray der inneren Wareneinheiten aufliegt. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß beim Übereinanderstapeln mehrerer Displayständer das Gewicht der oberen Displayständer nicht vom Karton, sondern von den Waren aufgenommen wird. Dies ist besonders dann von Vorteil, wenn die Waren, welche beispielsweise Weinflaschen sein können, erheblich mehr Gewicht zu tragen im Stande sind als die Pappe des Kartons.The height of the display is designed so that the lid rests directly on a lid tray of the inner goods units during storage and transport. This ensures that when several display stands are stacked on top of each other, the weight of the upper display stands is not absorbed by the carton but by the goods. This is particularly advantageous if the goods, which can be wine bottles, for example, are able to carry considerably more weight than the cardboard of the carton.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind Karton und Deckel bei Lagerung und Transport mit einer Schrumpffolie umhüllt. Hier dient die Unterkante des Deckels als Führung für das üblicherweise vom Ladenpersonal beim Beseitigen von Umhüllungen verwendete Messer. Dadurch, daß die Unterkante im Bereich der nach innen geknickten Abschnitte der Seitenwände liegt, wird beim Aufschneiden der Schrumpffolie der Karton selbst nicht beschädigt. Gleichzeitig wird durch die Schutzflächen an den Kunststoffhaltern eine Beschädigung der Gummiringe verhindert. Die Schutzflächen haben im übrigen noch den weiteren Zweck, die in die Wellpappe im Bereich des ersten, nach innen geknickten Abschnitts eingeschnittenen Halteösen für die Gummiringe davor zu schützen, daß sie unter dem Zug des Gummirings hochknicken oder ausreißen.According to a further development of the invention, the carton and lid are covered with a shrink film during storage and transport. Here the lower edge of the lid serves as a guide for the knife usually used by shop staff when removing wrappings. The fact that the lower edge lies in the area of the inwardly bent sections of the side walls means that the cardboard itself is not damaged when the shrink film is cut open. At the same time, the protective surfaces on the plastic holders prevent damage to the rubber rings. The protective surfaces also have the further purpose of protecting the retaining eyelets for the rubber rings cut into the corrugated cardboard in the region of the first, inwardly bent section from the fact that they buckle up or tear out under the tension of the rubber ring.

Die Zeichnung zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung einen Displayständer aus zugeschnittener, gefalteter und zu einem quaderförmigen Karton mit Deckel verklebter Pappe.The drawing shows a perspective view of a display stand made of cut, folded cardboard and glued into a cuboid cardboard with a lid.

Der Displayständer 1 besitzt ein glattes Unterteil 3, das durchsichtig dargestellt ist, um die Anordnung der Waren 19 im Inneren des Displayständers 1 erkennen zu können.The display stand 1 has a smooth lower part 3, which is shown transparently in order to be able to recognize the arrangement of the goods 19 in the interior of the display stand 1.

Bei Transport und Lagerung ist die Oberseite des Displayständers 1 mit einem Deckel 2 verschlossen, der mit strichpunktierten Linien ebenfalls durchsichtig dargestellt ist, um die besondere Ausgestaltung des Displayständers besser erkennen zu können.During transport and storage, the top of the display stand 1 is closed with a cover 2, which is also shown transparently with dash-dotted lines in order to be able to better recognize the special design of the display stand.

Das Unterteil 3 des Displayständers 1 besitzt Quaderform mit glatten Seitenwänden. Oberhalb einer waagerecht umlaufenden Knicklinie 7 sind im Bereich der Seitenkanten 4 zwei V-förmige, direkt aneinander anschließende Ausschnitte 5, 6 vorgesehen. Diese Ausschnitte 5, 6 ermöglichen es, einen ersten Abschnitt 8 der Seitenwände schräg nach innen und einen zweiten Abschnitt 9 etwa waagerecht nach außen zu knicken. Dieser zweite Abschnitt 9 bildet eine umlaufende tischartige Fläche, auf der später die Waren in der verkaufsgerechten Position abstellbar sind.The lower part 3 of the display stand 1 has a cuboid shape with smooth side walls. Above a horizontally circumferential crease line 7, two V-shaped cutouts 5, 6 which are directly adjacent to one another are provided in the region of the side edges 4. These cutouts 5, 6 make it possible to bend a first section 8 of the side walls obliquely inwards and a second section 9 approximately horizontally outwards. This second section 9 forms a circumferential table-like surface on which the goods can later be placed in the sales-oriented position.

Ein Oberabschnitt 10 schließt sich direkt an den zweiten, etwa waagerecht nach außen geknickten Abschnitt 9 an, dessen Querschnitt und Seitenflächen dem Unterteil 3 entsprechen.An upper section 10 directly adjoins the second, approximately horizontally bent section 9, the cross-section and side surfaces of which correspond to the lower part 3.

An Voder- und Hinterwand des Oberabschnitts 10 erkennt man je einen Kunststoffhalter 12, der durch einen Schlitz 11 in der Knicklinie zwischen zweitem Abschnitt 9 und Oberabschnitt 10 hindurchgesteckt ist.On the front and rear wall of the upper section 10 one can recognize a plastic holder 12, which is inserted through a slot 11 in the crease line between the second section 9 and the upper section 10.

Der Kunststoffhalter 12 besitzt an seiner Oberseite nach innen weisende Haltefinger 13 und eine Haltenase 15. An seiner Unterseite erkennt man eine Schutzfläche 18. Der Kunststoffhalter 12 wird mit Hilfe eines Gummirings 16 gehalten, der in die Haltezunge 15 eingehängt ist, auf der Außenseite des Oberabschnitts 10 nach unten geführt und hinter der Schutzfläche 18 in eine Öse 17 eingehängt ist.The plastic holder 12 has holding fingers 13 and a holding lug 15 pointing inwards on its upper side. A protective surface 18 can be seen on its underside. The plastic holder 12 is held on the outside of the upper section by means of a rubber ring 16 which is suspended in the holding tongue 15 10 guided downwards and suspended in an eyelet 17 behind the protective surface 18.

Diese Öse 17 ist in den ersten, nach innen geknickten Abschnitt 8 der Seitenwände eingeschnitten, wobei die Schnittführung so gewählt ist, daß beim Einknicken des ersten Abschnitts 8 schräg nach innen die Unterseite der Öse 17 frei kommt, um das Einhängen des Gummirings 16 zu erleichtern.This eyelet 17 is cut into the first, inwardly kinked section 8 of the side walls, the cut being chosen so that when the first section 8 is folded inwards, the underside of the eyelet 17 is released to facilitate the hanging of the rubber ring 16 .

Wie man aus der Zeichnung ferner erkennt, ist die Schutzfläche 18 des Kunststoffhalters 12 so ausgebildet, daß sie nicht nur den Gummiring 16 vorne abdeckt, sondern gleichzeitig auch die Öse 17 festhält, so daß diese unter der Wirkung des Gummirings 16 bei längerer Lagerung nicht nach oben ausknicken oder ausreißen kann.As can also be seen from the drawing, the protective surface 18 of the plastic holder 12 is designed such that it not only covers the rubber ring 16 at the front, but at the same time also holds the eyelet 17 so that it does not after the action of the rubber ring 16 after prolonged storage can buckle or tear out at the top.

In dem durchsichtig dargestellten Unterteil 3 des Displayständers 1 erkennt man die Waren 19, wobei es sich hier um Weinflaschen handelt. Diese Flaschen 19 stehen auf einem Bodentray 20. Auf den Waren liegt ein Deckeltray 21. Bodentray 20 und Deckeltray 21 sind so ausgebildet, daß die Flaschen 19 unter der Wirkung des Schnürbandes 22 sicher gehalten werden.The goods 19, which are wine bottles, can be seen in the bottom part 3 of the display stand 1, which is shown in a transparent manner. These bottles 19 stand on a bottom tray 20. A lid tray 21 lies on the goods. Bottom tray 20 and lid tray 21 are designed such that the bottles 19 are held securely under the action of the lace 22.

Zur Erhöhung der Übersichtlichkeit ist in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt, daß eine zweite Einheit von Flaschen 19 auf der dargestellten Einheit steht. Die Höhe des Displayständers 1 ist dabei so gewählt, daß der Deckeltray der nicht dargestellten Flascheneinheit geringfügig über den Oberabschnitt 10 übersteht, so daß der aufgesetzte Deckel 2 auf dem obersten Deckeltray aufliegt. Dadurch wird das Gewicht weiterer Displayständer, die bei Transport und Lagerung übereinander gestapelt werden, direkt über die Flaschen 19 abgetragen. Glasflaschen haben eine erheblich höhere Festigkeit als die Pappe des Displayständers 1.To increase the clarity, it is not shown in the drawing that a second unit of bottles 19 stands on the unit shown. The height of the display stand 1 is chosen so that the lid tray of the bottle unit, not shown, protrudes slightly above the upper section 10, so that the lid 2 placed thereon rests on the uppermost lid tray. As a result, the weight of further display stands, which are stacked one above the other during transport and storage, is removed directly from the bottles 19. Glass bottles have a considerably higher strength than the cardboard of the display stand 1.

Der Bodentray 20 ist mit wenig seitlichem Spiel im Displayständer 1 geführt. Der Querschnitt des Deckeltrays 21 ist so gewählt, daß er ebenfalls mit wenig Spiel durch die Verengung im Bereich der nach innen geknickten Abschnitte 8, 9 der Seitenwände hindurchpaßt.The bottom tray 20 is guided with little lateral play in the display stand 1. The cross section of the lid tray 21 is selected so that it also fits with little play through the constriction in the area of the inwardly bent sections 8, 9 of the side walls.

Um die Flaschen 19 in die verkaufsgerechte Position zu bringen, ergreift das Ladenpersonal die Verschnürung 22 - geführt durch entsprechenden Aufdruck auf dem Deckeltray 21 - und zieht Bodentray 20, Deckeltray 21 sowie die dazwischen sich befindenden Flaschen 19 nach oben. Dabei weichen die nach innen geknickten Abschnitte 8, 9 der Seitenwände federnd nach außen, wobei die Gummiringe 16 gespannt werden. Die Haltefinger 13 der Kunststoffhalter 12 erfassen die Oberkante des Bodentrays 20 und verhindern so, daß die Wareneinheit völlig aus dem Displayständer 1 herausgehoben wird. Sobald die Wareneinheit wieder abgesenkt wird, nehmen die Abschnitte 8, 9 unter dem Zug der Gummiringe 16 ihre ursprüngliche Lage wieder ein, so daß der Bodentray 20 auf dem etwa waagerecht nach außen geknickten Abschnitt 9 sicher aufsteht. Nach Durchschneiden der Verschnürung 22 kann der Deckeltray 21 abgenommen werden, worauf die Flaschen 19 in verkaufsgerechter Lage frei stehen.In order to bring the bottles 19 into the sales-oriented position, the shop staff grips the laces 22 - guided by appropriate printing on the lid tray 21 - and pulls up the base tray 20, lid tray 21 and the bottles 19 located between them. The inwardly bent sections 8, 9 of the side walls give way to the outside, the rubber rings 16 being tensioned. The holding fingers 13 of the plastic holder 12 grip the upper edge of the bottom tray 20 and thus prevent the product unit from being lifted out of the display stand 1 completely. As soon as the product unit is lowered again, the sections 8, 9 return to their original position under the tension of the rubber rings 16, so that the bottom tray 20 stands securely on the section 9 which is bent approximately horizontally outwards. After the lacing 22 has been cut through, the lid tray 21 can be removed, whereupon the bottles 19 are free in a position suitable for sale.

Flache U-förmige Ausschnitte 25 im Bereich des Oberabschnitts 10 sorgen dafür, daß die Kunststoffhalter 12 so weit abgesenkt sind, daß die Haltezungen 15 nicht den Deckel 2 durchbohren können. Ferner ermöglichen es diese U-förmigen Ausschnitte 25, daß nach dem Verkauf der Flaschen 19 der leere Bodentray 20 gefaßt und beseitigt werden kann.Flat U-shaped cutouts 25 in the area of the upper section 10 ensure that the plastic holders 12 are lowered to such an extent that the holding tongues 15 cannot pierce the cover 2. Furthermore, these U-shaped cutouts 25 enable the empty base tray 20 to be gripped and removed after the bottles 19 have been sold.

Wie die Zeichnung ferner zeigt, ist zwischen der Knicklinie 7 und der Unterkante des Deckels 2 ein Abstand a eingehalten. Dieser Abschnitt a ist so gewählt, daß beim Aufschneiden der bei Lagerung und Transport vorgesehenen Schrumpffolie die Pappe, aus der der Displayständer 1 hergestellt ist, durch das Messer nicht beschädigt wird. Man erkennt ferner, daß die Schutzflächen 18 der Kunststoffhalter 12 auch die Gummiringe 16 gegen eine Beschädigung durch das Messer schützen.As the drawing also shows, a distance a is maintained between the crease line 7 and the lower edge of the cover 2. This section a is chosen so that when cutting the shrink film provided for storage and transport, the cardboard from which the display stand 1 is made is not damaged by the knife. It can also be seen that the protective surfaces 18 of the plastic holders 12 also protect the rubber rings 16 against damage by the knife.

In diesen Schutzflächen 18 sind noch zwei nach unten gehende Einkerbungen 24 erkennbar. Wird der Warentray 19, 20, 21, 22 an der Verschnürung 22 mit zuviel Energie nach oben gerissen, haben die Kunststoffhalter 12 über den Trayanschlag an die Finger 13 das Bestreben, das Gummiband 16 übermäßig zu längen ; im Extremfall könnten sie sogar aus dem Schlitz 11 ganz herausgleiten. Dies wird verhindert durch das automatische Verhaken des Gummibandes 16 in den erwähnten Einkerbungen 24, wodurch es verkürzt und um den Oberabschnitt 10 geschnürt wird und damit nur noch einen Bruchteil der ursprünglichen Dehnbarkeit besitzt.Two notches 24 going downward can still be seen in these protective surfaces 18. If the goods tray 19, 20, 21, 22 on the lacing 22 is torn up with too much energy, the plastic holders 12 have the endeavor to extend the elastic band 16 excessively via the tray stop on the fingers 13; in extreme cases, they could even slide completely out of the slot 11. This is prevented by the automatic interlocking of the rubber band 16 in the notches 24 mentioned, as a result of which it is shortened and tied around the upper section 10 and thus only has a fraction of the original extensibility.

Um zu verhindern, daß beim Hochziehen der untersten Wareneinheit der leichte Displayständer 1 ebenfalls hochgehoben wird, sind am Boden seitliche Laschen 23 vorgesehen, auf die das Ladenpersonal seinen Fuß stellen kann.In order to prevent the light display stand 1 from also being lifted when the lowermost product unit is pulled up, side tabs 23 are provided on the floor, onto which the shop staff can put his foot.

Bei der Entwicklung des Displayständers 1 war auch versucht worden, die federnde Einknickung im Bereich der Abschnitte 8, 9 durch ein in den Einschnitt gelegtes umlaufendes Gummiband zu erreichen. Diese Lösung hatte jedoch den Nachteil, daß die Ecken des Bodentrays 20 sich beim Hochziehen der Flaschen 19 in dem Gummiband verfingen. Für den Fall jedoch, daß ein Bodentray mit abgeschrägten Kanten verwenden werden kann, wäre auch eine solche Lösung einsetzbar.During the development of the display stand 1, attempts were also made to achieve the resilient buckling in the area of the sections 8, 9 by means of a circumferential rubber band placed in the incision. However, this solution had the disadvantage that the corners of the bottom tray 20 get caught in the rubber band when the bottles 19 are pulled up. However, in the event that a bottom tray with bevelled edges can be used, such a solution could also be used.
