Description

Cette invention a pour objet une armoire-magasin anti-vol selon le préambule de la revendication 1, en d'autre termes une armoire-magasin pourvue d'une sécurité efficace afin d'éviter le vol des marchandises mises en vente exposées dans de telles armoires.The subject of this invention is an anti-theft store cabinet according to the preamble of claim 1, in other words a store cabinet provided with effective security in order to prevent theft of the goods for sale exhibited in such cupboards.

L'invention concerne plus spécialement une armoire-magasin anti-vol pour le rangement classifié d'articles empilables.The invention relates more specifically to an anti-theft store cabinet for the classified storage of stackable articles.

L'armoire-magasin anti-vol conforme à l'invention, consistant en une armoire comprenant un nombre de colonnes déplaçables verticalement pouvant contenir, chacune, une provision d'articles, ces articles pouvant être desservis par une ouverture de débit prévue au bas de chaque colonne, l'approvisionnement pouvant se faire par une ouverture d'approvisionnement prévue dans le haut de chaque colonne, et des éléments pour fermer les ouvertures de débit et pour bloquer le déplacement vertical des colonnes, est caractérisé en ce que les colonnes sont montées dans l'armoire de façon à pouvoir être décrochées, que l'élément pour fermer les ouvertures de débit est formé par aux moins une latte pouvant être glissée verticalement devant les ouvertures de débit, que l'élément pour bloquer le déplacement vertical des colonnes est formé par au moins une latte pouvant être déplacée verticalement et étant solidarisée à la latte de fermeture par un châssis, de façon que dans la position basse des éléments l'armoire-magasin est verrouillée, l'élément de fermeture se trouvant devant les ouvertures de débit et l'élément de bloquage se trouvant juste au-dessus des colonnes en sorte que celles-ci ne peuvent plus être décrochées.The anti-theft store cabinet according to the invention, consisting of a cabinet comprising a number of vertically movable columns which can each contain a supply of articles, these articles being able to be served by a flow opening provided at the bottom of each column, the supply being able to be made by a supply opening provided at the top of each column, and elements for closing the flow openings and for blocking the vertical movement of the columns, is characterized in that the columns are mounted in the cabinet so as to be able to be detached, that the element for closing the flow openings is formed by at least one slat which can be slid vertically in front of the flow openings, that the element for blocking the vertical movement of the columns is formed by at least one slat which can be moved vertically and being secured to the closing slat by a frame, so that in the low position of the elements s the magazine cabinet is locked, the closing element being in front of the flow openings and the blocking element being just above the columns so that these can no longer be removed.

Une armoire-magasin selon le préambule de la revendication 1, est décrite dans le US-A-3 560 067.A store cabinet according to the preamble of claim 1, is described in US-A-3,560,067.

Dans une forme préférée de réalisation l'armoire-magasin est utilisée pour le rangement classifié de paquets de cigarettes, cette armoire-magasin pouvant être fermée d'une manière simple. Il est évident que de telles armoires-magasins anti-vol sont particulièrement indiquées pour être placées dans les magasins à grande surface, à proximité des caisses enregistreuses. En effet, lorsqu'une caissière quitte sa place, elle peut d'abord, d'une manière très simple, fermer ladite armoire-magasin. La fermeture de l'armoire-magasin peut aussi être combinée avec la fermeture d'une caisse enregistreuse, d'une telle manière que la fermeture de cette dernière provoque automatiquement la fermeture de l'armoire-magasin anti-vol.In a preferred embodiment the store cupboard is used for the classified storage of cigarette packs, this store cupboard being able to be closed in a simple manner. It is obvious that such anti-theft storage cabinets are particularly suitable for being placed in large surface stores, close to cash registers. Indeed, when a cashier leaves her place, she can first, in a very simple way, close said store cabinet. Closing the store cabinet can also be combined with closing a cash register, such that closing the cash register automatically closes the anti-theft store cabinet.

Outre la sécurité contre le vol, l'armoire-magasin selon l'invention présente encore nombreux autres avantages. Tout d'abord, elle est exécutée de telle façon qu'elle peut être réapprovisionnée facilement et simplement. A cet effet, sont prévues des colonnes pouvant être remplies en empilage par le haut, les articles pouvant être débités un à un par le bas de l'armoire-magasin. Ceci présente l'avantage que la marchandise la plus ancienne est délivrée en premier lieu, en sorte qu'il ne reste pas de vielle marchandise dans l'armoire.In addition to security against theft, the store cabinet according to the invention has many other advantages. First of all, it is executed in such a way that it can be replenished easily and simply. To this end, there are provided columns which can be filled in stacking from the top, the articles being able to be cut one by one from the bottom of the cabinet-store. This has the advantage that the oldest goods are delivered in the first place, so that no old goods remain in the cupboard.

Le fait que l'armoire-magasin selon l'invention prévoit que les articles y empilés sont enlevables par le bas entraîne l'obligation de disposer ces armoires-magasins à une certaine hauteur du sol. De préférence, donc, le côté inférieur de l'armoire se trouvera à environ 1,80 m du sol. Ceci offre l'avantage, d'une part, que la vue panoramique du magasin n'est pas entravée par cette armoire et, d'autre part, qu'une connexion électrique avec l'armoire peut être prévue dans le plafond, par exemple en vue d'éclairer un panneau publicitaire placé sur l'armoire.The fact that the store cupboard according to the invention provides for the articles stacked therein to be removed from below results in the obligation to have these store cupboards at a certain height from the ground. Preferably, therefore, the lower side of the cabinet will be about 1.80 m from the ground. This has the advantage, on the one hand, that the panoramic view of the store is not hampered by this cabinet and, on the other hand, that an electrical connection with the cabinet can be provided in the ceiling, for example to light an advertising panel placed on the cabinet.

Une telle armoire-magasin selon l'invention présente encore l'avantage que, dans la plupart des cas, surtout si elle est disposée à proximité d'une caisse enregistreuse dans un magasin à grande surface, elle incite la clientèle à se servir de paquets de cigarettes ou autres articles y exposés.Such a store cupboard according to the invention also has the advantage that, in most cases, especially if it is placed near a cash register in a big box store, it encourages customers to use packages. cigarettes or other items on display.

Outre les avantages techniques principaux énumérés ci-dessus, ladite armoire-magasin anti- vol offre un aspect très avantageux sur le plan financier et publicitaire. En effet, les pertes considérables subies annuellement par les vols, par exemple de paquets de cigarettes ou autres articles, seront éliminées.In addition to the main technical advantages listed above, the said anti-theft store cabinet offers a very advantageous aspect from a financial and advertising point of view. Indeed, the considerable losses suffered annually by thefts, for example of cigarette packs or other articles, will be eliminated.

D'autrè part, une telle armoire-magasin anti-vol présente l'avantage, surtout lorsqu'elle est installée dans un magasin à grande surface, que des panneaux publicitaires, même au nombre de quatre, peuvent être prévus sur les côtés de l'armoire.On the other hand, such an anti-theft store cabinet has the advantage, especially when installed in a big box store, that advertising signs, even four in number, can be provided on the sides of the 'cabinet.

Il est évident que ces panneaux publicitaires exercent, sur la clientèle, un effet psychologique non négligable. En effet, celle-ci, pendant l'attente à la caisse, a le temps d'etre influencée par la publicité apparaissant sur les panneaux.It is obvious that these billboards have a significant psychological effect on customers. Indeed, the latter, while waiting at the cash register, has time to be influenced by the advertising appearing on the panels.

En vue de mieux faire ressortir de l'invention, une forme d'exécution préférée est décrite ci-après en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue frontale en perspective d'une colonne dans laquelle peuvent être empilés les articles à vendre;
  • la figure 2 est une vue arrière de la même colonne;
  • la figure 3 est une vue schématique de l'armoire-magasin anti-vol fermée;
  • la figure 4 est une vue similaire à la figure 3, l'armoire étant ouverte;
  • la figure 5 représente une exécution pratique d'une armoire-magasin anti-vol selon l'invention;
  • la figure 6 est une coupe selon la ligne VI - VI de la figure 5.
In order to bring out the invention more clearly, a preferred embodiment is described below with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a column in which the articles for sale can be stacked;
  • Figure 2 is a rear view of the same column;
  • Figure 3 is a schematic view of the closed anti-theft store cabinet;
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3, the cabinet being open;
  • FIG. 5 represents a practical embodiment of an anti-theft store cabinet according to the invention;
  • FIG. 6 is a section along line VI - VI of FIG. 5.

Comme représenté aux figures 1 à 4, l'armoire-magasin antivol consiste essentiellement, dans une forme préférée d'exécution, en une colonne 1 pourvue, dans le bas, d'une ouverture 2 pour le débit des articles et, dans le haut, d'une ouverture de remplissage 3 montée de manière démontable dans une armoire 4, et un élément de fermeture 5 mobile verticalement et qui, en position fermée de l'armoire-magasin anti-vol, prévoit la fermeture de l'ouverture de débit 2.As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the anti-theft store cabinet essentially consists, in a preferred embodiment, in a column 1 provided, at the bottom, with an opening 2 for the flow of articles and, at the top, of a filling opening 3 mounted in a removable manner in a cabinet 4, and a closing element 5 movable vertically and which, in the closed position of the anti-theft cabinet-store, provides closing the flow opening 2.

La colonne vericale 1 consiste essentiellement en un compartiment-réservoir dans lequel peuvent être empilés les articles à vendre. A cet effet, cette colonne présente de préférence une coupe interne correspondant à la forme des articles à empiler 6.The vertical column 1 essentially consists of a tank compartment in which the articles for sale can be stacked. To this end, this column preferably has an internal section corresponding to the shape of the articles to be stacked 6.

Pour la formation de l'ouverture de remplissage 3, la colonne 1 est laissée ouverte dans le haut tandis qu'elle est fermée dans le bas par un fond 7. L'ouverture 2, adjacente à ce fond 7, est formée par une découpe dans la paroi avant 8 de la colonne 1.For the formation of the filling opening 3, the column 1 is left open at the top while it is closed at the bottom by a bottom 7. The opening 2, adjacent to this bottom 7, is formed by a cutout in the front wall 8 of column 1.

De plus, la colonne 1, exécutée de préférence en matière synthétique ou en aluminium, présente, en sa paroi avant 8, une fente 9 relativement étroite et, dans les parois latérales, une fente 10 relativement large. Le côté arrière de la colonne 1 présente un certain nombre de crochets 11 pouvant coopérer avec un nombre de lattes 12 aménagées dans l'armoire 4.In addition, the column 1, preferably made of plastic or aluminum, has, in its front wall 8, a relatively narrow slot 9 and, in the side walls, a relatively wide slot 10. The rear side of the column 1 has a number of hooks 11 which can cooperate with a number of slats 12 arranged in the cabinet 4.

L'élément de fermeture 5 qui, selon cette exécution, est formé par une latte qui, en position fermée de l'armoire-magasin anti-vol, recouvre l'ouverture de débit 2 de la colonne 1, peut, selon cette forme d'exécution, être glissée vers le haut. Cette manoeuvre peut être facilitée par un contrepoids 13 prévu de façon adéquate.The closing element 5 which, according to this embodiment, is formed by a slat which, in the closed position of the anti-theft store cabinet, covers the flow opening 2 of the column 1, can, according to this form d 'execution, be swiped up. This maneuver can be facilitated by a counterweight 13 adequately provided.

Selon la forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 1 à 3, l'élément de fermeture 5 fait partie d'un châssis 14 entièrement mobile, ce dernier étant pourvu d'une deuxième latte 15, le tout d'une telle manière que cette latte 15, dans la position la plus basse du châssis 14, et donc en position fermée de l'élément de fermeture 5, se trouve juste au-dessus de la colonne 1.According to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the closing element 5 is part of a fully movable frame 14, the latter being provided with a second slat 15, the whole in such a way that this slat 15, in the lowest position of the chassis 14, and therefore in the closed position of the closing element 5, is located just above the column 1.

Il est donc évident que le châssis 14, dans sa position la plus basse, peut être verrouillé au moyen d'un verrou ou similaire, non représenté aux figures 1 à 4.It is therefore obvious that the chassis 14, in its lowest position, can be locked by means of a lock or the like, not shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

Le fonctionnement de cette armoire-magasin anti-vol ressort clairement des dessins. Comme représenté à la figure 4, dans la position élevée du châssis 14, les articles 6 peuvent être facilement enlevés via l'ouverture de debit 2. Pour réapprovisionner la colonne 1, celle-ci doit être décrochée des lattes 12, après quoi le réapprovisionnement peut se faire par l'ouverture de remplissage 3. La fente 10 relativement large présente l'avante qu'en cas de chute malencontreuse des articles 6, ceux-ci peuvent facilement être atteints par la fente 10 afin de les remettre en position adéquate. Après remplissage, la colonne 1 peut être simplement raccrochée aux lattes 12.The operation of this anti-theft store cabinet is clear from the drawings. As shown in Figure 4, in the raised position of the chassis 14, the articles 6 can be easily removed via the flow opening 2. To replenish the column 1, this must be unhooked from the slats 12, after which the replenishment can be done through the filling opening 3. The relatively wide slot 10 has the front that in the event of an unfortunate fall of the articles 6, these can easily be reached by the slot 10 in order to return them to the correct position. After filling, the column 1 can simply be hung up on the slats 12.

Pour fermer l'armoire-magasin, il suffit de baisser l'élément de fermeture - et donc aussi le châssis 14 - et de les verrouiller au moyen du verrou précité. Par le fait que la latte 15 se trouve juste au-dessus de la colonne 1, il est impossible, dès lors, de la décrocher des lattes 12.To close the store cabinet, it suffices to lower the closing element - and therefore also the frame 14 - and to lock them by means of the aforementioned lock. By the fact that the slat 15 is located just above the column 1, it is therefore impossible to unhook it from the slats 12.

Il est évident qu'en position ouverte de l'armoire-magasin anti-vol, le contrepoids 13 a pour fonction de laisser le châssis 14 en position élevée. La fente 9 dans la paroi avant 8 de la colonne 1 sert purement et simplement à pouvoir évaluer le contenu de la colonne 1. Bien entendu, cette fente 9 ne donne, en aucun cas, accès aux articles 6 empilés. La paroi avant 8 avec fente étroite 9 peut éventuellement être remplacée par une paroi transparente.It is obvious that in the open position of the anti-theft store cabinet, the counterweight 13 has the function of leaving the chassis 14 in the raised position. The slot 9 in the front wall 8 of the column 1 serves purely and simply to be able to evaluate the content of the column 1. Of course, this slot 9 does not, in any case, give access to the stacked articles 6. The front wall 8 with narrow slot 9 can optionally be replaced by a transparent wall.

Les figures 5 et 6 représentent une forme d'exécution pratique de l'armoire-magasin anti- vol. En l'occurrence, 25 colonnes 1 sont prévues, dans l'armoire 4. Ces colonnes se succèdent par rangée de deux, respectivement 16 - 17. La rangée arrière 17 se trouve à un niveau un peu plus bas que la rangée précédente 16 en sorte qu'il est possible d'atteindre facilement toutes les ouvertures de débit 2. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée, la rangée avant 16 est formée de 13 colonnes tandis que la rangée arrière est formée de 12 colonnes. Dans la rangée arrière 17 est d'ailleurs prévue une colonne 1 en moins car un espace 18 est aménagé dans le milieu de l'armoire 4, espace destiné à loger le contrepoids 13.Figures 5 and 6 show a practical embodiment of the anti-theft store cabinet. In this case, 25 columns 1 are provided in the cabinet 4. These columns follow one another in rows of two, respectively 16 - 17. The rear row 17 is at a level a little lower than the previous row 16 in so that it is possible to easily reach all the flow openings 2. In the embodiment shown, the front row 16 is formed by 13 columns while the rear row is formed by 12 columns. In the rear row 17 there is also provided a column 1 less since a space 18 is provided in the middle of the cabinet 4, space intended to accommodate the counterweight 13.

Il est évident que l'armoire doit, en l'occurrence, être exécuté d'une telle manière qu'elle comprend, e.a., deux éléments de fermeture 5 et deux lattes 15 pour empêcher le décrochage des colonnes 1.It is obvious that the cabinet must, in this case, be executed in such a way that it comprises, a.a., two closing elements 5 and two slats 15 to prevent the stalling of the columns 1.

Le verrouillage de l'élément de fermeture 5, et donc aussi du châssis 14, se fait au moyen d'un verrou 19 provoquant le verrouillage (non représenté) du châssis 14 avec l'armoire 4.The locking element 5, and therefore also the chassis 14, is locked by means of a lock 19 causing the locking (not shown) of the chassis 14 with the cabinet 4.

La partie inférieure de l'armoire 4 se trouve de préférence à 1,80 m du sol. Un pied solide 20 est prévu pour soutenir l'armoire-magasin. La partie supérieure de l'armoire-magasin anti-vol selon l'invention, donc en fait l'armoire 4, est pourvue d'un panneau 21 sur lequel apparaissent les marques des articles 6 se trouvant dans les 25 colonnes différentes. D'autres panneaux publicitaires 22 peuvent encore être prévus.The lower part of the cabinet 4 is preferably 1.80 m from the ground. A solid base 20 is provided to support the store cabinet. The upper part of the anti-theft store cabinet according to the invention, therefore in fact the cabinet 4, is provided with a panel 21 on which the marks of the articles 6 appearing in the 25 different columns appear. Other advertising panels 22 can also be provided.
