Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verkaufsmöbel mit einem auf einem Sockel angeordneten Möbelkorpus und einer mittels einer Halterung im vorderen Sockelbereich mit Abstand zum Sockel unterhalb des Möbelkorpus angeordneten Stoßleiste.The invention relates to a piece of sales furniture with a furniture body arranged on a base and a bumper strip arranged at a distance from the base below the furniture body by means of a holder in the front base area.

In vielen Bedienungs- und Selbstbedienungsläden werden Einkaufswagen verwendet. Hierbei besteht die Gefahr, daß die Außenflächen und Verglasungen von Verkaufsmöbeln, insbesondere Kühltheken, Kühlregalen, Tiefkühlinsel und Backwarentheken, verkratzt und beschädigt werden. Aus diesem Grund sind an den Verkaufsmöbeln Stoßleisten angebracht, die entweder den Warenkorb oder den Rahmen der Einkaufswagen abwehren. Bei Verkaufsmöbeln mit weit heruntergezogenen Fronten, wie dies beispielsweise bei Fleisch- und Backwarentheken der Fall ist, sind üblicherweise nur Stoßleisten für den Rahmen der Einkaufswagen anbringbar. Zugleich weisen diese Verkaufsmöbel aus stilistischen Gründen einen großen Freiraum im Bodenbereich als Fußuntertritt auf. Die Stoßleisten sind in diesem Fall innerhalb dieses Freiraums angeordnet und mittels einer starren Halterung am Verkaufsmöbel oder am Fußboden befestigt.Shopping carts are used in many service and self-service shops. There is a risk that the outer surfaces and glazing of sales furniture, in particular refrigerated counters, refrigerated shelves, freezer islands and bakery counters, will be scratched and damaged. For this reason, bumpers are attached to the sales furniture, which either ward off the shopping cart or the frame of the shopping cart. In the case of sales furniture with fronts that are pulled down far, as is the case, for example, with meat and bakery counters, usually only bumper strips for the frame of the shopping trolleys can be attached. At the same time, for stylistic reasons, this sales furniture has a large free space in the floor area as a foot step. In this case, the bumper strips are arranged within this free space and fastened to the sales furniture or to the floor by means of a rigid holder.

Zumindest in größeren Läden erfolgt die Reinigung des Fußbodens durch Fußbodenreinigungsmaschinen. Diese können jedoch nicht zur Reinigung des Fußuntertritts an Verkaufsmöbeln der beschriebenen Art eingesetzt werden, da dieser Bereich durch die Stoßleiste für die Fußbodenreinigungsmaschine nicht zugänglich ist. Die Reinigung des Bodens muß hier von Hand durchgeführt werden.At least in larger stores, the floor is cleaned by floor cleaning machines. However, these cannot be used to clean the foot step on sales furniture of the type described, since this area is not accessible to the floor cleaning machine through the bumper strip. The floor must be cleaned by hand.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verkaufsmöbel der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das einen zuverlässigen Rammschutz gegen Einkaufswagen aufweist und das zugleich eine problemlose Reinigung des Fußbodens ermöglicht.The present invention has for its object to provide a piece of sales furniture of the type mentioned, which has a reliable ram protection against shopping carts and which also allows easy cleaning of the floor.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Halterung in eine am Verkaufsmöbel anliegende Position schwenkbar und in dieser arretierbar ist.This object is achieved in that the holder is pivotable into a position against the sales furniture and can be locked in this.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Stoßleiste nicht mehr starr mit dem Kühlmöbel verbunden, sondern läßt sich, beispielsweise zum Zweck der Bodenreinigung, zusammen mit der Halterung schwenken, derart, daß der Freiraum im Bodenbereich des Verkaufsmöbels frei zugänglich ist. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Halterung in eine Position gebracht wird, in der sie am Verkaufsmöbel anliegt.According to the invention, the bumper is no longer rigidly connected to the refrigeration unit, but can be pivoted together with the holder, for example for the purpose of cleaning the floor, in such a way that the free space in the floor area of the sales unit is freely accessible. This is achieved in that the holder is brought into a position in which it rests on the sales furniture.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des Erfindungsgegenstandes verläuft die Halterung in der anliegenden Position entlang der Unterseite des Möbelkorpus, d.h. die Halterung läßt sich aus der abgehängten Position, in der die an ihr befestigte Stoßleiste als Rammschutz gegen Einkaufswagen wirkt, nach oben geschwenkt.According to a preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention, the holder in the adjacent position runs along the underside of the furniture body, ie the holder can be pivoted upwards from the suspended position in which the bumper strip which is attached to it acts as a ram guard against shopping trolleys.

Es erweist sich als vorteilhaft, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes das freie Ende der Halterung mittels einer Druckfeder mit dem Verkaufsmöbel verbunden ist.It proves to be advantageous if, according to a development of the subject matter of the invention, the free end of the holder is connected to the sales furniture by means of a compression spring.

Mit Hilfe einer entsprechend konstruierten Druckfeder wird die Halterung in ihren beiden Endpositionen jeweils selbsttätig durch die Druckfeder arretiert. Halterung und Druckfeder sind dabei so dimensioniert und aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Halterung sowohl in der Position, in der die Stoßleiste als Rammschutz wirkt, als auch in der Position, in der die Halterung am Verkaufsmöbel anliegt, in einer stabilen Lage ist. Das Überführen von der einen in die andere Lage erfolgt durch Ziehen bzw. Drücken, beispielsweise von Hand. Vorzugsweise ist die Halterung als Hohlprofil ausgebildet und die Druckfeder in dem Hohlraum angeordnet.With the help of an appropriately designed compression spring, the bracket is automatically locked in its two end positions by the compression spring. Bracket and compression spring are dimensioned and matched to one another so that the bracket is in a stable position both in the position in which the bumper strip acts as a ram protection, and in the position in which the bracket lies against the sales furniture. The transfer from one position to the other takes place by pulling or pushing, for example by hand. The holder is preferably designed as a hollow profile and the compression spring is arranged in the cavity.

Bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist als Druckfeder eine Gasfeder eingesetzt.In a preferred development of the subject matter of the invention, a gas spring is used as the compression spring.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu der Druckfeder sind gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes an der Halterung bzw. am Verkaufsmöbel zwei Flächen befestigt, die bei der Schwenkbewegung der Halterung aufeinander gleiten.As an alternative or in addition to the compression spring, according to a preferred development of the subject matter of the invention, two surfaces are fastened to the holder or to the furniture, which slide on one another when the holder is pivoted.

Eine der beiden Flächen ist dabei ortsfest mit dem Verkaufsmöbel verbunden, die andere ist an der Halterung befestigt und macht deren Schwenkbewegungen mit. Die Flächen sind so angeordnet, daß sie in der Ebene der Schwenkbewegung liegen und einander berühren. Die Reibung zwischen den beiden Flächen ist so bemessen, daß die Halterung auch in einer geschwenkten Position ihre Lage beibehält. Der Anpreßdruck und damit die Reibung zwischen den beiden aufeinander gleitenden Flächen kann dadurch eingestellt werden, daß eine gewellte Scheibenfeder zwischen den beiden Flächen angebracht wird.One of the two surfaces is fixed to the sales furniture, the other is attached to the bracket and follows its swiveling movements. The surfaces are arranged so that they lie in the plane of the pivoting movement and touch each other. The friction between the two surfaces is such that the bracket is also in a pivoted position maintains its position. The contact pressure and thus the friction between the two surfaces sliding on each other can be adjusted by attaching a corrugated disc spring between the two surfaces.

Die Reibung zwischen den Flächen kann geringer bemessen sein, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes an der Halterung bzw. am Verkaufsmöbel eine oder mehrere Einrastvorrichtungen zur Arretierung der Halterung angebracht sind.The friction between the surfaces can be smaller if, according to a development of the subject matter of the invention, one or more latching devices are attached to the holder or to the sales furniture for locking the holder.

Die Einrastvorrichtung umfaßt vorzugsweise eine oder mehrere Vertiefungen in der einen Fläche und einen oder mehrere Vorsprünge, vorzugsweise federbelastete Kugeln, die in bestimmten Positionen der Halterung in die Vertiefungen einrasten. Vorteilhaft sind weiterhin magnetische oder mechanische Schnappeinrichtungen, die einrasten, wenn die Halterung die jeweils gewünschte Position erreicht hat.The latching device preferably comprises one or more depressions in the one surface and one or more projections, preferably spring-loaded balls, which snap into the depressions in certain positions of the holder. Also advantageous are magnetic or mechanical snap-in devices that snap in when the holder has reached the desired position.

Bei einer bevorzugten weiteren Ausgestaltung des Erfindungsgegenstandes besitzt die Halterung einen nach unten offenen U-förmigen Querschnitt.In a preferred further embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, the holder has a U-shaped cross section that is open at the bottom.

Die Erfindung sowie weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anhand eines schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.

Die Kühltheke gemäß Figur 1 weist einen Möbelkorpus 1 auf, der einen Warenraum 2 enthält. Der Möbelkorpus 1 weist einen Aufbau 3 auf, der an seiner dem Kunden zugewandten Vorderseite durch eine Frontscheibe 5 abgeschlossen ist. Der Möbelkorpus 1 ist auf einem Sockel 4 angeordnet. Er ragt an seiner Vorderseite über den Sockel 4 hinaus, wodurch im vorderen Bodenbereich der Kühltheke ein Freiraum 6 gebildet ist.The refrigerated counter according to FIG. 1 has a furniture body 1 which contains a goods room 2. The furniture body 1 has a structure 3 which is closed off on its front side facing the customer by a front pane 5. The furniture body 1 is arranged on a base 4. It protrudes on its front side beyond the base 4, as a result of which a free space 6 is formed in the front floor area of the refrigerated counter.

Um die Frontscheibe 5 vor Beschädigungen durch die Warenkörbe von Einkaufswagen zu schützen, ist eine Stoßleiste 7 vorgesehen, die sich in Höhe des Rahmens der Einkaufswagen befindet. Aus optischen und technischen Gründen ist es nicht möglicht, die Stoßleiste in Höhe der Warenkörbe anzubringen, da in diesem Fall die Stoßleiste auf der Frontscheibe 5 befestigt werden müßte.In order to protect the front screen 5 against damage from the shopping cart baskets, a bumper 7 is provided, which is located at the level of the frame of the shopping cart. For optical and technical reasons it is not possible to level the bumper Attach shopping baskets, since in this case the bumper would have to be attached to the windscreen 5.

Die Stoßleiste ist mittels einer Halterung 8 an einem Abschnitt 9 befestigt, der sich in dem Winkel befindet, in dem der Sockel 4 und der den Sockel überragende Teil des Möbelkorpus 1 zusammenlaufen. Die Halterung 8 ist um eine Achse 10 schwenkbar und läßt sich bei Bedarf nach oben in eine entlang der Unterseite des Möbelkorpus verlaufende Position bringen (strichpunktierte Darstellung). Während die Stoßleiste 7 und die Halterung 8 in der unteren Position, in der die Stoßleiste als Rammschutz gegen Einkaufswagen wirkt, verhindern, daß eine Fußbodenreinigungsmaschine 11 bis an den Sockel 4 in den Freiraum 6 gefahren wird, ist dies in der hochgeklappten Position möglich.The bumper strip is fastened by means of a holder 8 to a section 9 which is located at the angle at which the base 4 and the part of the furniture body 1 projecting from the base converge. The holder 8 can be pivoted about an axis 10 and, if necessary, can be brought up into a position running along the underside of the furniture body (dash-dotted representation). While the bumper 7 and the bracket 8 in the lower position, in which the bumper acts as a ram guard against shopping trolleys, prevent a floor cleaning machine 11 from being moved up to the base 4 into the free space 6, this is possible in the folded-up position.

Grundsätzlich ist es auch denkbar, daß die Halterung 8 anstatt nach oben nach hinten schwenkbar ausgebildet ist, wobei sie in diesem Fall an der senkrechten Vorderstrebe des Sockels 4 anliegen würde.In principle, it is also conceivable that the holder 8 is designed to be pivotable backwards instead of upwards, in which case it would rest against the vertical front strut of the base 4.

Entscheidend ist, daß die Halterung 8 und die Stoßleiste 7, die sich bestimmungsgemäß in dem Freiraum 6 befinden, durch eine Schwenkbewegung entfernt werden können.It is crucial that the bracket 8 and the bumper 7, which are intended to be in the free space 6, can be removed by a pivoting movement.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Detailansicht der in Figur 1 dargestellten Halterung 8. Die Halterung 8 ist als Hohlprofil mit nach unten offenem U-förmigem Querschnitt ausgebildet. Im Innern der Halterung 8 befindet sich eine Gasfeder 12, die einerseits an einer mit dem Möbelkorpus 1 bzw. dem Sockel 4 befestigten Strebe 13 und andererseits am freien Ende der Halterung 8 befestigt ist. Die Gasfeder 12 und die Halterung 8 sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Halterung 8 in ihren beiden Endpositionen selbsttätig durch die Gasfeder 12 arretiert ist und, nachdem sie durch Ziehen aus ihrer unteren Position gebracht worden ist, selbständig in die obere Position gedrückt wird. Dies stellt eine erhebliche Vereinfachung bei der Bedienung dar.FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of the holder 8 shown in FIG. 1. The holder 8 is designed as a hollow profile with a U-shaped cross section open at the bottom. Inside the holder 8 there is a gas spring 12 which is fastened on the one hand to a strut 13 fastened to the furniture body 1 or the base 4 and on the other hand to the free end of the holder 8. The gas spring 12 and the bracket 8 are so matched to one another that the bracket 8 automatically in its two end positions the gas spring 12 is locked and, after it has been pulled out of its lower position, is automatically pushed into the upper position. This represents a considerable simplification in the operation.

In den Figuren 3a und 3b ist eine andere Ausführungsvariante einer Halterung für eine Stoßleiste dargestellt, bei der die Halterung durch die Reibung zwischen am Möbelkorpus 1 befestigten Flächen 14 einerseits und an der Halterung befestigten Flächen 18 andererseits in einer beliebigen Schwenkposition um die Schwenkachse 10 arretiert werden kann. Der Anpreßdruck zwischen den Flächen 14 und 18 wird dabei durch zwischengelegte gewellte Scheibenfedern 20 eingestellt. Die Endpositionen werden durch Anschlag am Vorderteil 21 des Möbelkorpus 1 bzw. durch eine entsprechende Vorrichtung 24 am Möbelkorpus selbst festgelegt.FIGS. 3a and 3b show another embodiment variant of a holder for a bumper strip, in which the holder is locked in any pivot position about the pivot axis 10 by the friction between surfaces 14 attached to the furniture body 1 on the one hand and surfaces 18 attached to the holder on the other hand can. The contact pressure between the surfaces 14 and 18 is adjusted by interposed corrugated disc springs 20. The end positions are determined by a stop on the front part 21 of the furniture body 1 or by a corresponding device 24 on the furniture body itself.

In der Ausführungsform der Figuren 4a und 4b dienen zwei durch eine Feder 17 belastete Kugeln 16, die in die Halterung 8 eingebaut sind, zur Arretierung in zwei Stellungen, die durch zwei Paare von Vertiefungen 15 in den am Möbelkorpus 1 befestigten Flächen 14 festgelegt sind. Die Kugeln 16 rasten dabei in die Vertiefungen 15 ein. Diese Art der Arretierung bietet besonders hohen Bedienungskomfort, da die Halterung 8 zwischen den beiden Endpositionen mit geringem Kraftaufwand bewegt werden kann. Durch die trotzdem noch vorhandene geringe Reibung wird gleichzeitig eine hohe Sicherheit beim Bedienen gewährleistet.In the embodiment of FIGS. 4a and 4b, two balls 16 loaded by a spring 17, which are built into the holder 8, serve for locking in two positions, which are fixed by two pairs of depressions 15 in the surfaces 14 fastened to the furniture body 1. The balls 16 snap into the recesses 15. This type of locking offers a particularly high level of operating comfort, since the holder 8 can be moved between the two end positions with little effort. Due to the low friction that is still present, a high level of safety during operation is guaranteed.

Eine weitere Variante des Erfindungsgegenstands zeigt die Figur 5 . Hier kann durch Magnethalter 22,21, die am Möbelkorpus 1 und am Vorderteil 21 angebracht sind die Halterung 8 in zwei verschiedenen Positionen arretiert werden. Statt der Magnethalter können auch mechanische Schnappvorrichtungen verwendet werden. In beiden Fällen ist nur ein geringer konstruktiver Aufwand erforderlich.FIG. 5 shows a further variant of the subject matter of the invention. Here, the holder 8 can be locked in two different positions by means of magnetic holders 22, 21 which are attached to the furniture body 1 and to the front part 21 will. Mechanical snap-in devices can also be used instead of the magnetic holder. In both cases, only little design effort is required.

Empfehlenswert ist jedoch eine Kombination mit der in den Figuren 3a und 3b gezeigten Ausführungsvariante, um die Leichtgängigkeit der Schwenkbewegung zwischen den Endpositionen zu begrenzen.However, a combination with the embodiment variant shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b is recommended in order to limit the smooth movement of the pivoting movement between the end positions.

Es versteht sich von selbst, daß sich die Erfindung nicht nur auf Kühltheken, sondern auch auf andere gekühlte oder ungekühlte Verkaufsmöbel, insbesondere Kühlregale, Tiefkühlinseln und Backwarentheken, erstreckt.It goes without saying that the invention extends not only to refrigerated counters, but also to other refrigerated or uncooled sales furniture, in particular refrigerated shelves, freezer islands and bakery counters.
