Description

L'invention concerne un meuble-présentoir linéaire de produits conditionnés en sachets, sur cartes ou en boîtes, suspendus à des broches par l'intermédiaire d'une languette perforée.The invention relates to a linear display unit for products packaged in sachets, cards or boxes, suspended from pins by means of a perforated tab.

Des meubles-présentoirs linéaires, répondant à la définition ci-dessus, existent déjà. Ils sont utilisés principalement pour la vente en libre service d'articles divers, dans les magasins de vente à grande surface. Il s'agit de meubles-présentoirs, ouverts sur le devant, dont le fond est garni de broches, simples ou doubles, fixées horizontalement, ou avec une certaine inclinaison vers le bas afin d'obtenir, par gravité, le rappel permanent des conditionnements contre le nez de la broche. Le même avantage est parfois obtenu sur les broches horizontales en équipant celles-ci d'un dispositif de rappel vers l'avant, à ressort, tel que celui décrit dans le brevet français 2 527 913.Linear display units, meeting the above definition, already exist. They are mainly used for the self-service sale of various articles in big box stores. These are display units, open on the front, the bottom of which is furnished with pins, single or double, fixed horizontally, or with a certain inclination downwards in order to obtain, by gravity, the permanent recall of the packaging. against the nose of the spindle. The same advantage is sometimes obtained on horizontal pins by equipping them with a spring-loaded return device, such as that described in French patent 2,527,913.

Les broches inclinées vers le bas ou équipées d'un ressort de rappel, permettent de maintenir un front continu de produits, quelle que soit l'importance des prélèvements. Toutefois, ces moyens sont limités en capacité par la poussée exercée sur les premiers conditionnements de chaque rangée, lorsque les broches sont garnies au maximum et, en situation, par des considérations commerciales, puisque les articles situés à hauteur des yeux et de la main se vendent mieux que ceux qui nécessitent une action physique complémentaire; au même titre d'ailleurs que les présentoirs équipés uniquement de broches horizontales, qui rendent illusoire l'utilisation de l'espace compris entre le sol et une hauteur de 0,80 mètre environ et situé au- dessui de 1,80 mètre environ; ce qui ne confère donc aux meubles-présentoirs actuels qu'un front de vente efficace d'une hauteur de 1 mètre environ, puisque le bas du présentoir est généralement réservé à la présentation d'articles en vrac ne pouvant être placé sur broches.The pins inclined downwards or fitted with a return spring, make it possible to maintain a continuous front of products, regardless of the size of the samples. However, these means are limited in capacity by the pressure exerted on the first packings of each row, when the pins are filled to the maximum and, in situation, by commercial considerations, since the articles located at eye and hand level are sell better than those that require additional physical action; in the same way, moreover, as displays fitted only with horizontal pins, which make it illusory to use the space between the ground and a height of about 0.80 meters and located above about 1.80 meters; which therefore gives current display furniture only an effective sales front of a height of about 1 meter, since the bottom of the display is generally reserved for the presentation of loose items that cannot be placed on pins.

Il faut ajouter aussi que, sur les meubles-présentoirs actuels, il n'existe que peu de moyens d'information: facilitant le choix des produits, en dehors des caractéristiques dimensionnelles qui figurent sur la languette de suspension des conditionnements: ce qui oblige les acheteurs à rechercher ces informations auprès du personnel du magasin libre-service, qui n'a pas toujours la compétence nécessaire.It should also be added that, on the current display furniture, there are only few means of information: facilitating the choice of products, apart from the dimensional characteristics which appear on the hanging tab of the packaging: which obliges the buyers to seek this information from the staff of the self-service store, who does not always have the necessary skills.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients. L'invention, telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications résout le problème consistant à créer un meuble-présentoir de produits présentés sur broches permettant l'utilisation rationnelle d'un front de vente plus important, à longueur égale, facilitant le choix, la localisation, l'identification et le prélèvement des produits, dans le minimum de temps et avec le minimum d'effort et se prêtant à la constitution de rayons complets de produits correspondant chacun à un domaine d'activité bien précis, selon une conception modulaire.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks. The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a display cabinet of products presented on pins allowing the rational use of a larger sales front, of equal length, facilitating the choice, localization, identification and sampling of products, in the minimum time and with the minimum of effort and suitable for the creation of complete product departments, each corresponding to a very specific field of activity, according to a modular design .

Ce meuble-présentoir comporte des broches inclinées vers le bas dans sa partie supérieure et des broches inclinées vers le haut, équipées de ressort de rappel, dans sa partie inférieure. Les espaces occupés respectivement par les broches inclinées vers le bas et par les broches inclinées vers le haut sont séparés et prolongés vers le haut et vers le bas par des bandeaux comportant des indications et des moyens d'information complémentaires concernant les produits présentés. Les sachets, les cartes, ou les boîtes sont regroupés, par domaine d'emploi des produits qu'ils contiennent, dans des sous-espaces jouxtant chacun l'un des bandeaux sur lequel est indiqué le domaine d'emploi des produits présentés dans les dits sous-espaces. Les bandeaux et les fronts de vente sont éclairés.This display cabinet has pins inclined downwards in its upper part and pins inclined upwards, equipped with return spring, in its lower part. The spaces occupied respectively by the pins inclined downwards and by the pins inclined upwards are separated and extended upwards and downwards by bands comprising indications and additional means of information concerning the products presented. The sachets, cards or boxes are grouped, by area of use of the products they contain, in sub-spaces each adjoining one of the bands on which is indicated the area of use of the products presented in the called subspaces. The banners and the sales fronts are illuminated.

Les bandeaux servent de supports publicitaires statiques, mécaniques, dynamiques ou/et électroniques. L'espace situé derrière les bandeaux est utilisé pour loger des systèmes d'animation, d'information et de formation. Le front de vente des produits présentés sur les broches inclinées vers le bas est disposé verticalement, alors que celui des produits présentés sur les broches inclinées vers le haut est incliné vers l'arrière selon un angle d'environ 45 degrés. Le front de vente correspondant à chacun des sous-espaces constitue un rectangle, ou un carré, de 0,60 mètre de côté au maximum. Le bandeau situé à la partie supérieure est incliné vers l'avant. Le bandeau situé au milieu est incliné vers l'arrière selon le même angle que le front de vente inférieur. Le bandeau inférieur est articulé par rapport au meuble, au niveau de sa bordure inférieure. Les moyens d'information complémentaires concernant les produits présentés dans chacun des sous-espaces, sont constitués de tablettes coulissantes, introduites dans des fentes aménagées dans les bandeaux et retenues, à chacune de leurs extrémités, respectivement par une tirette et par un ergot ou tout autre moyen.The banners serve as static, mechanical, dynamic and / or electronic advertising media. The space behind the banners is used to house entertainment, information and training systems. The sales front of the products presented on the pins inclined downwards is arranged vertically, while that of the products presented on the pins inclined upwards is inclined backwards at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. The sales front corresponding to each of the subspaces constitutes a rectangle, or a square, of 0.60 meter side at most. The strip at the top is tilted forward. The strip located in the middle is tilted backwards at the same angle as the lower sales front. The lower strip is articulated relative to the piece of furniture, at its lower edge. The complementary means of information concerning the products presented in each of the subspaces, consist of sliding shelves, introduced into slots arranged in the strips and retained, at each of their ends, respectively by a pull tab and by a lug or all other way.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention, consistent essentiellement en ceci, qu'un front continu de conditionnements de produits est maintenu en permanence, quelle que soit l'importance des prélèvements, tout le temps qu'il subsiste au moins un conditionnement, et en ce que les clients peuvent identifier rapidement la nature des produits présentés dans le rayon, trouver le meuble-présentoir élémentaire contenant le type de produit qu'il recherche, grâce aux indications figurant à la partie supérieure du présentoir, puis affiner la recherche en utilisant des indications plus précises figurant sur des bandeaux informatifs en s'aidant éventuellement de moyens d'information complémentaires situés dans les sous-espaces. De plus, ce meuble-présentoir est, compte tenu de sa réalisation modulaire et de sa conception universelle, utilisable pour la constitution de rayons de vente de tous produits conditionnés en sachets, sur cartes ou en boîtes, sous réserve, de compatibilité dimensionnelle.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist essentially in this, that a continuous front of product packaging is maintained permanently, regardless of the size of the samples, all the time that there remains at least one packaging, and in what customers can quickly identify the nature of the products presented in the department, find the elementary display cabinet containing the type of product they are looking for, using the indications at the top of the display, then refine the search using more precise indications appearing on informative banners possibly using additional means of information located in the subspaces. In addition, this display unit is, given its modular construction and its universal design, usable for the creation of sales shelves for all products packaged in sachets, cards or boxes, subject to dimensional compatibility.

L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide d'un dessin représentant seulement un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple.The invention is set out below in more detail with the aid of a drawing representing only one embodiment given by way of example.

L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide d'un dessin représentant une vue en perspective cavalière d'un meuble-présentoir de produits conditionnés en boîtes, en condition de service, donné à titre d'exemple.The invention is described below in more detail using a drawing representing a perspective view of a display cabinet of products packaged in boxes, in service condition, given by way of example.

Ainsi, comme on le voit en examinant la figure du dessin, ce meuble-présentoir est équipé, dans son espace de vente supérieur 1, de broches inclinées vers le bas 2 et, dans son espace de vente inférieur 3, de broches inclinées vers le haut 4 équipées de ressort de rappel 5 des boîtes de conditionnement 6.Thus, as can be seen by examining the figure of the drawing, this display unit is equipped, in its upper sales area 1, with pins inclined downward 2 and, in its lower sales area 3, with pins inclined towards the top 4 fitted with return spring 5 packaging boxes 6.

Le front de l'espace de vente supérieur 1 est vertical, alors que celui de l'espace de vente inférieur 3 est incliné vers l'arrière selon un angle d'environ 45°, ainsi que le bandeau 7 séparant les deux espaces 1 et 3: ce qui permet une utilisation plus rationnelle et plus ergonomique du présentoir par les clients, comme le montre les silhouettes 8 et 9.The front of the upper sales area 1 is vertical, while that of the lower sales area 3 is tilted backwards at an angle of approximately 45 °, as well as the strip 7 separating the two spaces 1 and 3: which allows more rational and ergonomic use of the display by customers, as shown in figures 8 and 9.

Le bandeau supérieur 10 est incliné vers l'avant pour faciliter la lecture des indications 11 qui y figurent et l'utilisation des moyens d'information complémentaires 12 qu'il comporte, par les clients effectuant une recherche de produit dans les sous-espaces situés dans le haut de l'espace de vente supérieure 1.The upper strip 10 is tilted forward to facilitate the reading of the indications 11 which appear therein and the use of the complementary information means 12 which it comprises, by the customers carrying out a search for a product in the subspaces located at the top of the upper sales area 1.

Le bandeau inférieur est, dans cet exemple, constitué d'un panneau articulé 13 comportant des indications 14 concernant les sous-espaces situés dans le bas de l'espace inférieur 3 et équipé de tablettes 15 retenues prisonnières dans des fentes 13a aménagées dans le panneau 13 par l'intermédiaire d'une tirette 16 et d'un ergot 17. Les moyens d'information complémentaires équipant les deux autres bandeaux sont en tous points identiques à ceux qui équipent le panneau articulé 13 constituant le bandeau inférieur.The lower strip is, in this example, made up of an articulated panel 13 comprising indications 14 concerning the subspaces located at the bottom of the lower space 3 and equipped with shelves 15 held captive in slots 13a arranged in the panel 13 by means of a pull tab 16 and a lug 17. The additional information means equipping the two other strips are identical in all respects to those which equip the articulated panel 13 constituting the lower strip.

Ainsi, les clients 8, intéressés par les produits présentés dans l'espace de vente supérieur 1, ont, à portée de leur vue et de leurs mains, les indications et les moyens nécessaires à la recherche et à la préhension des produits correspondant à leur besoin, et les clients 9, intéressés par les produits présentés dans l'espace de vente inférieur 3, bénéficient des mêmes avantages, compte tenu de l'inclinaison du front de vente, sous réserve, d'une certaine flexion des jambes et du relevage du panneau articulé 13, lorsqu'ils sont intéressés par les produits situés dans les sous-espaces de vente du bas.Thus, the customers 8, interested in the products presented in the upper sales area 1, have, within their sight and their hands, the indications and the means necessary for finding and grasping the products corresponding to their need, and customers 9, interested in the products presented in the lower sales area 3, benefit from the same advantages, taking into account the inclination of the sales front, subject to a certain bending of the legs and the lifting of the hinged panel 13, when they are interested in the products located in the lower sales areas.

Les clients 8 et 9 peuvent, lorsqu'ils le jugent nécessaire, consulter les tablettes 15 en les tirant vers eux, puis en les faisant basculer dans une position permettant leur lecture.Customers 8 and 9 can, when they deem it necessary, consult the shelves 15 by pulling them towards them, then by tilting them in a position allowing them to be read.

Ces tablettes sont, dans un mode de réalisation particulier, rappelées en permanence vers l'arrière par un ressort en tout autre dispositif du genre.These tablets are, in a particular embodiment, permanently recalled towards the rear by a spring in any other device of its kind.

On remarquera que le bandeau intermédiaire 7 comporte des indications et est équipé de tablettes concernant, dans sa partie supérieure, les sous-espaces situés dans le bas de l'espace de vente surieur 1 et, dans sa partie inférieure, les sous-espaces situés dans le haut de l'espace de vente inférieur 3.It will be noted that the intermediate strip 7 has indications and is equipped with shelves relating, in its upper part, to the sub-spaces located at the bottom of the upper sales area 1 and, in its lower part, to the sub-spaces located at the top of the lower sales area 3.

Les bandeaux 7, 10 et 13 sont translucides et sont éclairés par des sources lumineuses tels que des tubes fluorescents situés à l'intérieur du meuble et éclairant aussi les fronts de vente des deux espaces 1 et 3.The strips 7, 10 and 13 are translucent and are lit by light sources such as fluorescent tubes located inside the cabinet and also illuminating the sales fronts of the two spaces 1 and 3.

Ainsi, les clients peuvent identifier rapidement la nature des produits présentés dans le rayon, trouver le meuble-présentoir élémentaire contenant le type de produit qu'ils recherchent, grâce aux indications figurant dans le haut du bandeau supérieur, puis affiner la recherche en utilisant les indications plus précises figurant sur les bandeaux; en s'aidant éventuellement des moyens d'information complémentaires, concernant l'utilisation, figurant sur les tablettes coulissantes correspondant à chaque sous- espace. Le fait que le conditionnement des produits situés sur les broches de l'espace de vente inférieur 3 soient rappelés en permanence vers le haut par un ressort 5 et que le front de vente correspondant soit incliné vers l'arrière, facilitent considérablement la recherche et le prélèvement des produits situés dans cet espace.Thus, customers can quickly identify the nature of the products presented in the department, find the elementary display cabinet containing the type of product they are looking for, using the indications at the top of the upper banner, then refine the search using the more precise information on the banners; possibly using additional means of information, concerning the use, appearing on the sliding shelves corresponding to each subspace. The fact that the packaging of the products located on the pins of the lower sales space 3 is permanently recalled upwards by a spring 5 and that the corresponding sales front is tilted backwards, considerably facilitate the search and sampling of products located in this space.

Le meuble-présentoir linéaire selon l'invention est, compte tenu de sa réalisation modulaire et de sa conception universelle, destiné à la constitution de rayons de vente de tous produits conditionnés en sachets, sur cartes ou en boîtes, sous réserve, de compatibilités dimensionnelles.The linear display unit according to the invention is, taking into account its modular construction and its universal design, intended for the constitution of sales departments of all products packaged in sachets, on cards or in boxes, subject to dimensional compatibility. .

Les bandeaux peuvent être translucides ou opaques, éclairés de façon continue ou discontinue et peuvent servir de supports publicitaires, statiques, mécaniques, dynamiques ou/et électroniques.The banners can be translucent or opaque, continuously or discontinuously lit and can serve as advertising, static, mechanical, dynamic or / and electronic media.

Les volumes situés derrière les bandeaux peuvent être utilisés pour le logement de systèmes d'animation, d'information et de formation.The volumes located behind the banners can be used to house entertainment, information and training systems.
