Definitions

  • the invention relates to a price cassette with a molded part, in which a plurality of parallel, at least partially open to the cassette front side, separated by webs manholes for receiving price and / or information signs are attached, and a lid which is connected to the molded part and can be placed on the front of the cassette to cover the shafts, the cover having transparent window areas through which the price and / or information signs can be read (GB-A-2 096 377).
  • Such price cassettes are particularly well suited for use in the sale of foods such as meat, sausage and cheese products, which are usually offered for sale in counter-like glass showcases. For hygienic reasons, these glass showcases often have to be cleared and cleaned, whereby the price tags assigned to the individual goods must also be included in this cleaning process.
  • the price cassette of the type described is a structure which is sealed off by means of the lid and has smooth outer surfaces which can be easily kept clean. In addition, the price and / or information signs contained in the cassette are protected by the lid, so that they can be completely cleaned.
  • two molded parts are produced and glued together to form the shafts for accommodating the price and / or information signs.
  • One molded part forms a closed rear wall, on the side walls of which the depth of the cassette determining the depth of the two side edges are formed at a right angle.
  • the second molded part is inserted, which has webs running at the same distance from one another and parallel to the side walls and each has window openings between the webs, the height of which is approximately equal to half the total height of the cassette.
  • the webs are connected to one another by a closed surface.
  • the price and / or information signs are pushed into the individual shafts from the narrow top of the cassette.
  • a separate injection mold is required for each of the two molded parts, which does not inconsiderably increase the production costs.
  • inserting the labels is a time-consuming, manual process that also increases the cost of manufacturing the cassette because of the high labor costs.
  • the invention has for its object to design a price cassette of the type described so that it can be produced with little effort in tools and labor and thus extremely inexpensive.
  • this object is achieved in that the shafts on the molded part are open in their entire length to the front of the cassette and in that the webs between the shafts are formed arrowhead-shaped at least along part of their end faces facing the front of the cassette.
  • the price and / or information plates can be inserted into the shafts from the front using automatic means. Manual operations are no longer required. Due to the arrowhead-shaped design of the web end faces, the signs are securely held in the shafts after they have been pressed into the shafts along the inclined surfaces of the arrowhead shape. As a result, the labels cannot fall out during further handling of the price cassette until the lid is closed. In addition to the holding function of the arrowhead shape of the web end faces, the angle with which the signs can be viewed vertically from the front from a lateral point of view is increased without the information on the signs being covered by the webs separating the shafts will.
  • the molded part has a rear wall in which an opening, which is closed by a releasable insert plate, is provided, which is so large that all web parts with arrowhead-shaped end faces lie within their boundary line.
  • the provision of the opening in the rear wall leads to a considerable simplification of the mold in which the molded part is produced.
  • the undercuts resulting from the arrow shape of the web end faces are not a problem from the standpoint of injection molding technology, since a mold core projecting through the opening in the rear wall can be used to form the undercuts.
  • the mold separation movement perpendicular to the plane of the rear wall, which is necessary for demolding, is also advantageous because the displacement paths to be covered by the parts of the injection mold can be kept short and thus take little time.
  • the price cassette 1 shown in FIG. 1 contains a molded part 2 which has a rear wall 3, two side walls 4, 5 which determine the depth of the price cassette and are molded onto the rear wall 3 at right angles, and a bottom wall 6.
  • An opening 7 is formed in the rear wall 3 and is closed by means of an insert plate 8.
  • each delimiting shafts 14 to 19 are formed on the rear wall 3 parallel to each other and to the side walls 4, 5 extending webs 9 to 13 are formed, each delimiting shafts 14 to 19.
  • the two outer shafts 14 and 19 each lie between a web and one of the side walls 4, 5.
  • a cover 20 which is connected to the molded part 2 in an articulated manner. 1 shows one of the articulated connections 21 between the cover 20 and the lower end of the side wall 5.
  • the cover 20 has two window areas 22 and 23 in which it is transparent. In contrast, it is opaque in the area 24 that surrounds the window area 23 upwards and laterally. If the cover 20 is made entirely of transparent material, the opaque region 24 can be produced by applying a color or by laminating on an opaque material.
  • Two guide rails 25 and 26 are formed on the inside of the cover 20 and run parallel to the lower edge of the cover. At one end, the two guide rails 25 and 26 are connected to one another by a stop web 27.
  • a flap 28 is formed on the top of the cover 20, which lies at the front in the opened position of FIG. 1, and cooperates with a flap 29 formed on the top of the rear wall 3 to form a closure.
  • the shafts 14 to 19 serve to receive strip-shaped signs on which information is printed which is visible through the window area 22 when the cover is closed.
  • a sign 31 formed by a number strip is attached in the shaft 17, which can consist of paper or plastic and is printed with the numbers 0 to 9.
  • the shafts 16, 17, 18 and 19 serve to accommodate signs with numerical information. Signs with information about the country of origin of the goods in each case can be inserted in the chute 14, and signs with information about the composition and weight of the goods can be placed in the chute 15.
  • An information label can be inserted between the guide rails 25 and 26, on which the name of the goods in each case is printed. Since the window area 23 of the cover 20 is transparent, the name of the product attached to the information plate can be read when the cover is closed. When the cover 20 is closed, the information sign conceals at the same time the sign prints located in the upper halves of the shafts; the upper halves of the signs located in the shafts 14 and 19 are also covered by the opaque area 24 of the cover 20.
  • FIG. 4 and 6 An embodiment of the insert plate 8 is shown in Figures 4 and 6.
  • This insert plate 8 closes the opening 7 in the rear wall 3 of the molded part 2. It is provided on its upper edge and on its lower edge with tabs 39 and 40, respectively, which engage in corresponding recesses 41 and 42 which are in the peripheral surface of the opening 7 in the rear wall 3 are attached.
  • the insert plate 8 is provided on its front side in the area of the shafts 16, 17, 18 and 19 with elevations 43 running parallel to the webs.
  • the purpose of these elevations 43 is to reduce the depth of the shafts towards the rear wall 3 in the areas near the web, so that the packet or strip of the signs located in the shafts are compressed and held in contact with the undercuts behind the tips 37 and 38 will. Since the elevations 43 run close to the respective webs, a greater shaft depth is available in the central region of each shaft, which enables the curvature of the signs, which is required to push the signs into the wells from the front.
  • the provision of the opening 7 in the rear wall 3 of the molded part 2 enables the molded part 2 to be produced particularly advantageously as an injection molded part.
  • the production of the undercuts on the web end faces designed in the form of arrowheads does not lead to problems, since a corresponding part of the injection mold can protrude through the opening 7 from behind to the undercuts behind the tips 37, 38.
  • the parts of the mold only have to travel very short distances, the direction of movement being perpendicular to the plane of the rear wall 3. The manufacturing time required for the production of the molded part 2 is thereby shortened.
  • the cover 20 is shown in several views in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9. 7, the transparent window areas 22 and 23 and the opaque area 24 can be seen.
  • the cover 20 can be made entirely of a clear plastic material, and the opaque area 24 can be created by applying a color or by laminating on an opaque material.
  • two pins 44, 45 are attached, which protrude beyond the side edges. These pins 44, 45 serve to establish the articulated connection with the molded part 2 by engaging in corresponding holes 46, 47 in the molded part 2 (see FIGS. 2 and 3).
  • the tab 29 projects from the top of the price cassette 1 as an extension of the rear wall 3.
  • this also applies to the tab 28 on the cover 20 when it is closed.
  • the price cassette 1 can be inserted into a holder which contains two mutually facing, U-shaped channels which are connected to one another by a wall by means of a leg.
  • the free leg of one channel engages around the tabs 28, 29, while the free leg of the other channel engages around the extension 48.
  • the holder can be in the form of a longer rail, in the channels of which several price cassettes 1 can be used side by side. An example of such a holder is shown and described in DE-GM-8 411 687 (not previously published).
  • FIGS. 10 to 13 show a further embodiment of an insert plate 49 which can be inserted into the opening 7 in the rear wall 3 of the molded part 2 instead of the insert plate 8.
  • Retaining means are formed on the back of this insert plate 49, with the aid of which the price cassette 1 can be attached to carrier elements.
  • One of the holding means can be clearly seen in the side view of FIG. 11. It is a C-shaped clamping device 50 which can be plugged onto a rod-shaped carrier element 50 '.
  • a rod-shaped carrier element 50 'could for example, be attached to the front side of a shelf in a sales display case, and the price cassette could be attached to this rod compartment by pushing the clamping device 50 onto the rod-shaped carrier element 50'.
  • FIG. 13 shows the front view of the insert plate 49 from FIG. 10, on which elevations 53 corresponding to the elevations 43 are attached.
