Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Verkaufsvorrichtung der im Gattungbegriff des Anspruches 1 genannten Art. Eine Verkaufsvorrichtung gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 ist durch Vorbenutzung bekannt. Die Verwendung von Blisterpackungen ist nicht nur preislich vorteilhaft, sondern gestattet eine Betrachtung der Ware, die auf der Schauseite der Grundplatte unter der Klarsichtschale sich befindet, welche über umlaufende Flansche an der Grundplatte befestigt ist. Ein besonderes Problem bei diesen Verkaufsvorrichtungen liegt darin, ein umfassendes Sortiment von Packungen mit unterschiedlichem Wareninhalt platzsparend unterzubringen, ohne dem Kunden, der sich im Selbstbedienungsbetrieb vor einer solchen Verkaufsvorrichtung befindet, den Überblick über das Sortiment zu erschweren. Bei den bekannten Verkaufsvorrichtungen schienen sich die Forderung nach platzsparender Anordnung einerseits und nach überschaubarer Anordnung eines umfangreichen Sortiments andererseits zu widersprechen.The invention relates to a vending machine of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1. A vending machine according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from prior use. The use of blister packs is not only advantageous in terms of price, but also allows the goods to be viewed, which is located on the face side of the base plate under the transparent shell, which is attached to the base plate via circumferential flanges. A particular problem with these sales devices is to accommodate a comprehensive assortment of packs with different goods contents in a space-saving manner, without making it difficult for the customer who is in the self-service mode in front of such a sales device to have an overview of the assortment. In the known sales devices, the demands for a space-saving arrangement on the one hand and for a manageable arrangement of an extensive range on the other seemed to contradict each other.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese einander scheinbar widersprechenden Forderungen optimal zu erfüllen und dabei eine preiswerte und bequem zu handhabende Verkaufsvorrichtung zu entwickeln. Dies wird erfindungsgemäss durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 angeführten Massnahmen erreicht.The invention has for its object to optimally meet these apparently contradicting requirements and to develop an inexpensive and easy-to-use sales device. This is achieved according to the invention by the measures specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Besondere Ausführungsarten der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2-12 aufgeführt.Particular embodiments of the invention are listed in dependent claims 2-12.

Das Besondere der Erfindung liegt in der etagenweise in Schüben und Kästen stapelweisen Anordnung der Verkaufspackungen, womit die kompakte Anordnung auf kleinstmöglichem Raum gewährleistet ist. Durch die herausziehbaren Schübe und die karteikartenartige Aufnahme der Verkaufspackungen, die wie Karteikarten durchblättert werden können, ist zugleich ein guter Überblick über das ganze Sortiment zu gewinnen, so dass der Kunde gut erkennen kann, welche Waren im Sortiment ihm dargeboten werden. Bewährt hat sich dabei, die Verkaufspackungen an ihrem oberen Packungsende mit entsprechend dem Wareninhalt an dem entsprechend unterschiedlichen Ort angeordneten vorspringenden Zungen zu versehen und/oder den Zungen andere Dimensionen oder Farben zu geben, womit ein Ordnungssystem nach Art von Karteikarten-Reitern erzielt wird.The special feature of the invention lies in the stacking of the sales packs in tiers and boxes, which ensures the compact arrangement in the smallest possible space. Thanks to the pull-out drawers and the tab-like inclusion of the sales packages, which can be flipped through like tabs, you can also get a good overview of the entire range, so that the customer can clearly see which goods are being offered in the range. It has proven useful to provide the sales packs at their upper pack end with projecting tongues arranged in accordance with the goods at the correspondingly different location and / or to give the tongues other dimensions or colors, with which an organization system in the manner of index card tabs is achieved.

Die preiswerte Herstellung ist erzielbar, wenn man die Kästen aller Geschosse zueinander gleich ausbildet, weil dann die Montage und Herstellung solcher Vorrichtungen wegen der hohen Stückzahl günstig ist. Dazu bietet sich die Herstellung der Kästen als Blechkörper an, die man vorzugsweise mit einem Einsatz aus längs- und/ oder querverlaufenden Trennwänden versieht, damit die einzelnen Stapel der Verkaufspackungen voneinander reihen- und/oder gruppenweie getrennt werden. Dadurch ist die Position der Packungen gesichert und die maximale Neigung in ihrer aufrechten Stellung festgelegt. Der Durchblättervorgang beim Auswählen der Pakkung ist dadurch erleichtert. Eine transparente Vorderwand erleichtert die Betrachtung der vorne im Stapel liegenden Packung durch die Schubwand hindurch. Angeformte Lappen am Blechkörper erleichtern das Einsetzen und Entfernen der Vorderwand, was beim Beschicken der Kästen mit neuen Packungen vorteilhaft ist.The inexpensive manufacture can be achieved if the boxes of all storeys are designed identically to one another, because then the assembly and manufacture of such devices is inexpensive because of the large number of pieces. For this purpose, the boxes can be produced as sheet metal bodies, which are preferably provided with an insert made of longitudinal and / or transverse dividing walls, so that the individual stacks of the sales packages are separated from one another in rows and / or groups. This ensures the position of the packs and the maximum inclination in their upright position. This makes it easier to scroll through when selecting the package. A transparent front wall makes it easier to see the pack lying in the front through the push wall. Molded rags on the sheet metal body make it easier to insert and remove the front wall, which is advantageous when loading the boxes with new packs.

Für die Stabilität der Vorrichtung ist es bedeutsam, die Schübe in jedem tieferen Geschoss erfindungsgemäss weiter vorzusetzen. Ausserdem ist bereits vor dem Ziehen der Schübe ein guter Überblick über das ganze Warensortiment zu gewinnen.For the stability of the device, it is important to advance the drawers in each lower floor according to the invention. In addition, a good overview of the entire range of goods can be obtained before the drawers are pulled.

Für die preiswerte Herstellung und gute Sichtbarkeit empfiehlt es sich, die Seitenwände aus dünnen Rahmen zu bilden, die beispielsweise mittels eines Runddrahtprofils erzeugt werden.For inexpensive manufacture and good visibility, it is advisable to form the side walls from thin frames, which are produced, for example, by means of a round wire profile.

Es genügt dann, in der Geschosshöhe, wo die Kästen bzw. Schübe anzuordnen sind, Stege vorzusehen. Die Vereinigung zum Gestell geschieht durch Traversen, die in Form von Leisten oder Platten die beiden Seitenteile miteinander verbinden. Die Seitenteile haben vorderseitig einen entsprechend der Stufung pultdachartigen Verlauf ihres vorderen Stegs. Die unteren Stegteile dienen als Standfüsse, wenn man dieses Gestell als Standgerät nutzt. Diese Rahmenform verbessert auch die Standfestigkeit der Vorrichtung, die auch dann erhalten bleibt, wenn man einen Schub ganz herauszieht, was zweckmässigerweise durch Anschläge begrenzt ist.It is then sufficient to provide webs at the level of the floor where the boxes or drawers are to be arranged. The union to the frame is done by crossbars that connect the two side parts in the form of strips or plates. On the front, the side parts have a pent roof-like course of their front web. The lower parts of the web serve as feet if you use this frame as a stand unit. This frame shape also improves the stability of the device, which is retained even if one pulls a thrust out completely, which is expediently limited by stops.

Für die billige Herstellung und gute Handhabung ist es bedeutsam, als Schiebeführung eines Schubs zwei U-Profilschienen zu verwenden, die mit ihrem einen Schenkel jeweils in den U-Raum eingreifen. Eine dieser U-Schienen ist an der Seitenwand des Gestells und die andere U-Schiene am Schub befestigt. Ein über die gestellseitige U-Schiene gesetzter Steg verhindert bei herausgezogenem Schub ein Herauskippen durch Übergewicht, zumal wenn durch die an den Packungen blätternde Hand weitere Kräfte wirken.For cheap manufacture and good handling, it is important to use two U-shaped rails as sliding guides for a drawer, each of which engages with one leg in the U-space. One of these U-rails is attached to the side wall of the frame and the other U-rail to the drawer. A web placed over the frame-side U-rail prevents overturning when the drawer is pulled out, especially if additional force is exerted by the hand leafing through the packs.

Die erfindungsgemässe Verkaufsvorrichtung 10 umfasst ein Gestell 11 mit in zwei Geschossen 12, 13 darin aufgenommenen Kästen 14, 14', die zueinander zwar gleich ausgebildet sind, von denen der oberste 14 aber ortsfest im Gestell gehaltert ist, während der untere 14' in Folge Schiebeführungen 15 als Schub ausgebildet ist. Der Aufbau und das Aussehen eines solchen Kastens 14, 14' ist in Fig. 5 verdeutlicht, der dort als Schub 14' gezeigt ist.The sales device 10 according to the invention comprises a frame 11 with boxes 14, 14 'accommodated therein in two storeys 12, 13, which are of identical design to one another, of which the uppermost 14 is fixed in place in the frame, while the lower 14 ' in succession sliding guides 15 is designed as a thrust. The structure and appearance of such a box 14, 14 ' is illustrated in FIG. 5, which is shown there as a thrust 14'.

Der Schub 14' besteht zunächst aus einem Blechformkörper 16, umfassend eine Bodenwand 17, eine Rückwand 18 und zwei Seitenwände 19. Im Schubinneren befindet sich ein Teilungs-Einsatz 20, der hier sowohl längs- als auch querverlaufende Trennwände 21, 22 besitzt. Die Vorderwand 23 des Kastens ist im Sinne des in Fig. 5 eingezeichneten Doppelpfeils 24 ein- und ausschiebbar und besteht aus transparentem Kunststoff. Zur Aufnahme der Vorderwand 23 besitzen die beiden Seitenwände 19 sowie die Bodenwand 17 abgewinkelte randseitige Lappen 25, welche im Einsteckfall auf der Vorderfläche der Vorderwand 23 zu liegen kommen. Als rückseitige Halterung dienen die Stirnenden 26 von den Trennwänden 21 des Teilungs-Einsatzes 20.The thrust 14 'initially consists of a sheet metal body 16, comprising a bottom wall 17, a rear wall 18 and two side walls 19. In the inside of the drawer there is a dividing insert 20, which here has both longitudinal and transverse dividing walls 21, 22. The front wall 23 of the box can be pushed in and pushed out in the sense of the double arrow 24 shown in FIG. 5 and is made of transparent plastic. To accommodate the front wall 23, the two side walls 19 and the bottom wall 17 have angled edge-side tabs 25 which, when inserted, come to rest on the front surface of the front wall 23. The front ends 26 of the partition walls 21 of the partition insert 20 serve as the rear holder.

Die verschiedenen Wände schaffen im Kasten 14 bzw. Schub 14' eine Schar von nach oben offenen Fächern 27, die zur Aufnahme eines horizontalen Stapels 31 von Verkaufspackungen 30 dienen, wie aus den Fig. 1 bis 3 zu entnehmen ist. Die vorderste Verkaufspackung 30 ist durch die transparente Vorderwand 23 voll sichtbar. Die Fächer 27 gliedern jeden Stapel reihen- und gruppenweise zueinander. Die querverlaufenden Trennwände 22 im Teilungs-Einsatz 20 bestimmen den Neigungswinkel der Packungen 30, die dabei karteikartenartig in dem Kasten aufgenommen sind. Die Wände des Kastens 14 bzw. 14' erstrecken sich nur über eine untere Teilhöhe 32 der Packung 30, während der obere Teil 33 der Packung aus den Kästen 14, 14' herausragt und dadurch karteikartenartig durchblätterbar ist.The various walls create in the box 14 or drawer 14 'a group of compartments 27 which are open at the top and which serve to hold a horizontal stack 31 of sales packages 30, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3. The frontmost sales package 30 is fully visible through the transparent front wall 23. The compartments 27 structure each stack in rows and in groups. The transverse partition walls 22 in the partition insert 20 determine the angle of inclination of the packs 30, which are accommodated in the box like index cards. The walls of the box 14 or 14 'extend only over a lower partial height 32 of the pack 30, while the upper part 33 of the pack protrudes from the boxes 14, 14' and can thus be flipped through in the manner of a tab.

Die Packungen 30 bestehen insbesondere aus sogenannten Blisterpackungen, deren Aussehen am besten aus Fig. 1 und 2 zu erkennen ist. Die Blisterpackungen 30 umfassen eine Grundplatte 34 und eine über einen umlaufenden Flansch daran befestigbare Klarsichtschale 35. Zwischen der Klarsichtschale 35 und der Grundplatte 34 ist die zu verkaufende Ware eingeschlossen, die hier aus einem Handarbeitswerkzeug zur Fadenverarbeitung besteht, z. B. Strich- oder Häkelnadeln. Dadurch ist die Packung 30 verhältnismässig flach. Die Packungen 30 sind an ihren Oberenden, wie insbesondere Fig. 1 verdeutlicht, mit angeformten Zungen 36 versehen, die in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Sorte der in der Packung aufgenommenen Ware an einem unterschiedlichen Ort angeordnet sind. Es wäre auch denkbar, die Dimensionen der Zunge 36 warenspezifisch unterschiedlich zu gestalten, oder ihre Form und/ oder ihre Farbe unterschiedlich zu wählen. In all diesen Fällen dienen die Zungen 36 wie Karteikarten-Reiter, um eine gute Übersicht und Ordnung der im Stapel 31 befindlichen Packungen 30 zu erzielen. Anhand der Lage und dem Ort der Zunge 36 ist ersichtlich, an welcher Stelle welche Sorte von Waren in einer Packung im Stapel 31 sich befindet.The packs 30 consist in particular of so-called blister packs, the appearance of which can best be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2. The blister packs 30 comprise a base plate 34 and a transparent shell 35 which can be fastened to it via a circumferential flange. Between the transparent shell 35 and the base plate 34 the goods to be sold are enclosed, which here consists of a hand tool for thread processing, e.g. B. line or crochet hooks. As a result, the pack 30 is relatively flat. The packs 30 are provided on their upper ends, as is particularly illustrated in FIG. 1, with molded tongues 36, which are arranged at a different location depending on the respective type of the goods contained in the pack. It would also be conceivable to design the dimensions of the tongue 36 differently, or to choose their shape and / or their color differently. In all these cases, the tongues 36 serve like tab cards in order to achieve a good overview and order of the packs 30 located in the stack 31. From the position and location of the tongue 36, it can be seen at which location which type of goods in a pack is in the stack 31.

Der zuoberst angeordnete Kasten 14 ist fest an dem Gestell 11 angebracht, welches aus übereinstimmenden Seitenteilen 40 besteht, die hier die Form eines trapezförmigen Rahmens aufweisen. Als Rahmenwerkstoff wird hier ein Runddraht verwendet. Der Rahmen umfasst zueinander parallel liegende Kopf- und Fussleisten 41, 42 und eine dazu vertikal verlaufende Hinterleiste 43, während die Vorderleiste 44 des Rahmens pultdachartig nach vorne verläuft, soweit es die Vorderkanten der in Einschublage befindlichen Schübe bzw. Kästen 14, 14' fordern. Die beiden Seitenteile 40 sind längs ihrer Fussleisten 42 durch lattenförmige Traversen 45 und durch versteifende Platten 46 im Hinterbereich miteinander zum Gestell verbunden. Zum Gestell 11 gehört auch noch ein Rückenteil 37, der seinerseits eine durchgehende rückseitige Platte 38 und einen sie umfassenden U-förmigen Rahmen 39 besitzt. Dieser Rahmen 39 ist zweckmässigerweise in Fortsetzung der Hinterleisten 43 der beiden Seitenteile 40 ausgebildet, vorzugsweise einstükkig zusammenhängend.The box 14 arranged at the top is fixedly attached to the frame 11, which consists of matching side parts 40, which here have the shape of a trapezoidal frame. A round wire is used as the frame material. The frame comprises headers and skirting boards 41, 42 lying parallel to one another and a rear ledge 43 running vertically thereto, while the front ledge 44 of the frame runs forward like a pent roof, insofar as the front edges of the drawers or boxes 14, 14 'in the inserted position require it. The two side parts 40 are connected to one another along the baseboards 42 by lath-shaped cross members 45 and by stiffening plates 46 in the rear region to form the frame. The frame 11 also includes a back part 37, which in turn has a continuous rear plate 38 and a U-shaped frame 39 surrounding it. This frame 39 is expediently formed as a continuation of the rear strips 43 of the two side parts 40, preferably in one piece.

Während der Kasten 14 durch abgebogene Randstreifen 47 unmittelbar mit der Kopfleiste 41 des Seitenteil-Rahmens 40 verbunden ist, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, dient zur Halterung des unteren Schubs 14' die bereits erwähnte Schiebeführung 15, deren Aufbau am besten aus Fig. 4 zu erkennen ist.While the box 14 is connected directly to the header 41 of the side frame 40 by bent edge strips 47, as shown in FIG. 1, the aforementioned sliding guide 15 serves to hold the lower thrust 14 ', the structure of which is best seen in FIG. 4 is recognizable.

Die Schiebeführung 15 umfasst zwei U-förmig profilierte Schienen 50, 51, die mit jeweils einem ihrer Schenkel 52, 53 gegeneinander gerichtet sind und jeweils in ihren U-Raum eingreifen. Die dabei miteinander in Berührung gelangenden Gleitflächen sind zweckmässigerweise kunststoffbeschichtet, um die Gleitreibung zu mindern und eine Leichtgängigkeit der Schubbetätigung im Sinne des in Fig. 4 angedeuteten Pfeils 54 zu gewährleisten. Die eine U-Schiene 51 ist nämlich fest am Gestell 11 angebracht, wie in Fig. 4 anhand der Hinterleiste 43 zu erkennen ist. Die andere U-Schiene 50 dagegen ist fest an der Seitenwand 19 des Schubs 14' befestigt, wie auch aus Fig. 5 hervorgeht. Über dem nach oben weisenden U-Scheitel 55 der schubseitigen Schiene 50 ist auch noch ein querverlaufender Steg in geringem Abstand 49 angeordnet. Dies soll ausschliessen, dass der Schub 14 durch Verkanten oder Abheben aus seiner gestellseitigen Laufschiene 51 gelangt.The sliding guide 15 comprises two U-shaped rails 50, 51, each of which is directed towards one another with one of its legs 52, 53 and each engages in its U space. The sliding surfaces that come into contact with one another are expediently plastic-coated in order to reduce the sliding friction and to ensure smooth operation of the thrust actuation in the sense of the arrow 54 indicated in FIG. 4. One U-rail 51 is namely fixedly attached to the frame 11, as can be seen in FIG. 4 by means of the rear bar 43. The other U-rail 50, however, is firmly attached to the side wall 19 of the slide 14 ', as can also be seen in FIG. 5. A transversely extending web is also arranged at a small distance 49 above the upward-pointing U apex 55 of the rail 50 on the thrust side. This is to rule out that the thrust 14 comes out of its frame-side running rail 51 by tilting or lifting off.

Anstelle einer gesonderten schubseitigen Schiene 50 könnte diese durch eine weitere Abkantung des im Zusammenhang mit dem oberen Kasten 14 erläuterten Randstreifen 47 entstehen, weil es zur Führungswirkung nur auf den einen Schenkel 52 ankommt, der in die gestellseitige U-Schiene 51 eingreift, wie erläutert wurde.Instead of a separate shear-side rail 50, this could be caused by a further beveling of the edge strip 47 explained in connection with the upper box 14, because it only acts on the one for guiding effect Arrives leg 52, which engages in the frame-side U-rail 51, as has been explained.

Um auch die Packungen im Schub 14' über die volle Tiefe des Stapels 31 bequem zugänglich zu machen, wird der Schub in die aus Fig. 3 ersichtliche Ausziehlage herausgezogen. Um ein Herausfallen des Schubs 14' dabei zu vermeiden, sind Anschläge 28, 56 vorgesehen, von denen einer an der gestellseitigen U-Schiene 51 als Nase angeformt ist, der in den Bewegungsweg eines an der Seitenwand 19 des Schubs 14' sitzenden Stifts 28 stösst. Durch die Trapezform des Rahmens 40 ist auch in dieser Ausziehlage für eine ausreichende Standfestigkeit des Gestells 11 gesorgt, wenn dieses als Tischgerät mit seinen unteren Fussleisten 42 auf einer Standfläche steht. Besonderer Verankerungen bedarf es dabei nicht.In order to make the packs in the drawer 14 ' easily accessible over the full depth of the stack 31, the drawer is pulled out into the pull-out position shown in FIG. 3. In order to prevent the thrust 14 'from falling out, stops 28, 56 are provided, one of which is formed as a nose on the frame-side U-rail 51, which pushes into the path of movement of a pin 28 seated on the side wall 19 of the thrust 14' . The trapezoidal shape of the frame 40 also ensures sufficient stability of the frame 11 in this extended position when the frame 11 is standing on a standing surface with its lower baseboards 42. There is no need for special anchoring.

Es ist aber auch die Einschublage des Schubs 14' gemäss Fig. durch Anschläge gesichert, nämlich eine aus Rundstab bestehende Traverse 29, vor welche die Rückwand 18 des Schubs 14' stösst.However, the insertion position of the thrust 14 'according to FIG. 1 is also secured by stops, namely a crossbar 29 consisting of a round rod, in front of which the rear wall 18 of the thrust 14' abuts.

Die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung kann aber auch als Hängegerät benutzt werden um es vor einer Wandfläche 59 zu befestigen, indem die Haltemittel dabei am Rückenteil 37 des Gestells 11 angreifen. Dazu kann man die Platten 38 und/ oder 46 verwenden. Die Fig. 6 und 7 zeigen eine besonders einfache Vorrichtung, die insbesondere für sogenannte Lochwände 58 geeignet ist. Dazu wird ein besonderer Lochwandhaken 60 verwendet, der an seinem Schaft eine Z-förmige Verkröpfung 61 besitzt, welche zur Hakenhalterung dient. Dazu wird der Haken mit dem Ende seines freien Z-Schenkels 62 durch ein ausgewähltes Loch 63 der Lochwand gesteckt und bis zum Z-Steg 64 der Verkröpfung 61 geführt, so dass, gemäss Fig. 6, der freie Schenkel 62 die Rückfläche 65 der Wand 58 hintergreift. Dadurch kommt auf der vorderen Schaufläche 59 der Wand 58 der mit dem eigentlichen Haken 66 ausgerüstete vordere Z-Schenkel 67 zu liegen. Der Haken 66 dient zum Aufhängen des Gestells 11 an seinem Rückenteil, am einfachsten dadurch, dass die Unterkante der Rückplatte 38 umgriffen wird.However, the device according to the invention can also be used as a hanging device in order to fasten it in front of a wall surface 59 by the holding means engaging on the back part 37 of the frame 11. The plates 38 and / or 46 can be used for this. 6 and 7 show a particularly simple device which is particularly suitable for so-called perforated walls 58. For this purpose, a special perforated wall hook 60 is used, which has a Z-shaped offset 61 on its shaft, which serves to hold the hook. For this purpose, the hook with the end of its free Z-leg 62 is inserted through a selected hole 63 of the perforated wall and guided up to the Z-web 64 of the offset 61, so that, according to FIG. 6, the free leg 62 is the rear surface 65 of the wall 58 engages behind. As a result, the front Z-leg 67 equipped with the actual hook 66 comes to rest on the front display surface 59 of the wall 58. The hook 66 is used to hang the frame 11 on its back part, most simply by encompassing the lower edge of the back plate 38.

Dieser Haken 60 würde aber das Aufhängen dadurch erschweren, dass er in dem Loch 63 beweglich ist. Erfindungsgemäss wird nun vorgeschlagen, diesen vorderen Z-Schenkel 67 mit einem Querbalken 68 zu versehen, der auf der Schauseite 59 der Wand 58 zu liegen kommt und daher ein Wegdrehen des Hakens 66 zuverlässig verhindert. Durch den Querbalken 68 ist auch die Handhabung des Hakens 60 beim Einfädeln in das Wandloch 63 nicht behindert. Der Haken 60 nimmt eine feste Position an der Wand 58 ein.This hook 60 would make it difficult to hang it up by being movable in the hole 63. According to the invention, it is now proposed to provide this front Z-leg 67 with a crossbar 68 which comes to rest on the face 59 of the wall 58 and therefore reliably prevents the hook 66 from turning away. The handling of the hook 60 when threading into the wall hole 63 is not impeded by the crossbar 68. The hook 60 occupies a fixed position on the wall 58.

Aus Fig. 2 ist das Mass 74 zwischen den Vorderkanten der Kästen 14, 14' ersichtlich, um die die beiden Geschosse 12, 13 zueinander nach vorne gesetzt sind. Dadurch ergibt sich nach vorne ein stufenförmiger Aufbau des Gestells. Aus Fig. 2 ist aber auch ersichtlich, dass wegen der gleichen Dimensionen der beiden Kästen 14, 14' ihre Rückwände zueinander um den Abstand 75 tiefenversetzt sind.2 shows the dimension 74 between the front edges of the boxes 14, 14 ', by which the two storeys 12, 13 are set forward relative to one another. This results in a stepped structure of the frame towards the front. From FIG. 2, however, it can also be seen that, because of the same dimensions of the two boxes 14, 14 ', their rear walls are offset from one another by the distance 75.

Wegen der aus Fig. 5 ersichtlichen Quer- und Längswände 21, 22 im Teilungs-Einsatz ergeben sich Gruppen 76 von Packungen innerhalb eines ganzen Stapels 31 gemäss Fig. 2. Ausserdem sind in mehreren Reihen 77 nebeneinander Stapel 31 angeordnet, wie Fig. 1 zeigt.Because of the transverse and longitudinal walls 21, 22 shown in FIG. 5 in the dividing insert, groups 76 of packs result within an entire stack 31 according to FIG. 2. In addition, stacks 31 are arranged side by side in several rows 77, as shown in FIG. 1 .
