Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for presenting goods and / or goods sales packs, individual objects or the like.
  • a device for the presentation of goods and / or goods sales packs, individual items or the like which is characterized according to the invention by two elements, one of which as a substantially U-shaped front and rear open housing and the other as in the housing insertable goods carrier, shelf or the like is formed, the housing an upper cover plate and this adjoining side walls and the lower end of the side walls inward-facing hard shoulder and as a plate with a width corresponding to the inside width of the housing and a at least approximately the length of the housing corresponding to the length of the housing, according to a rear upstand has a front and approximately U-shaped bend downwards.
  • the housing forms a simple, but with adequate dimensioning, adequate protection for the objects accommodated in it against damage and against pollution, for example due to dust, but on the other hand, due to its completely open front part, allows an in-depth and unrestricted inspection of the housed in the housing Items too.
  • the product carrier allows a more or less large number of the same to be placed on it and to accommodate it together with the objects in the housing, or to subsequently arrange a corresponding number of objects on the product carrier already accommodated in the housing .
  • the goods carrier including objects arranged on it can also be placed outside the housing, e.g. put up on a shelf or the like.
  • Housing and product carrier can be made of the same or different materials.
  • the housing and the goods carrier can each be composed of several parts.
  • both the housing and the goods carrier are advantageously formed in one piece, for which purpose different materials, especially plastics, in particular thermosetting plastics, are advantageously suitable.
  • the material used can be opaque as well as transparent and can be designed with different surfaces, that is to say glossy or also matt as well as rough or smooth, whereby different designs can be provided for the housing and the product carrier. In the event that this ever Should be composed of several parts, individual parts of the housing and / or goods carrier can also be designed differently.
  • a technically particularly simple to implement and inexpensive embodiment of the housing and product carrier is obtained if they are designed with completely flat surfaces and with the same thickness at all points, in order to avoid scratches on the installation documents and also to avoid injuries when handling the device or the parts of which the transitions of the surfaces connected at an angle are appropriately rounded to a greater or lesser extent, which is also recommended for the free ends of the surfaces.
  • the rear upstand of the product carrier is made correspondingly high.
  • the latter is designed so large that it corresponds at least approximately to the inside height of the housing.
  • the upstand Due to the front bend downwards of the product carrier, its plate assumes a slightly inclined position when in use. If the angle between the plate and the rear upstand is set at 90 ° C, the upstand also assumes a slightly inclined position to the rear, which is the case when disc-shaped objects or Packs parallel to the upstand also provide a slightly inclined position so that they are adequately secured against accidental falling out towards the front. Deviating from this, the angle between the plate and the rear upstand can also be made larger or smaller than 90 ° C if the appropriate conditions are met.
  • the double front U-shaped bend of the product carrier is expediently carried out so that the imaginary extension of the free leg affects the edge formed by the plate and the rear upstand. This ensures that when the product carrier is in use, the free leg of the front fold lies flat or even on its base. This can be done in various ways, for example such that the bend between the plate and the substantially vertically directed front panel at a right angle and the bend between the panel and the free leg at a correspondingly smaller angle.
  • the front panel assumes a slightly inclined position when the product carrier is in use. Deviating from this, it can also be provided that the bend is carried out so that the front panel assumes a precisely vertical position when the product carrier is in use, the angle between the plate and panel being chosen to be correspondingly less than 90 ° C. and the bend angle between the panel and free leg as the right Angle is formed.
  • the device according to the invention is advantageously suitable for stacking a plurality of devices on top of one another, for which there are a multitude of different possibilities.
  • the corner or end regions of the cover plate and the hard shoulder of the housing are provided with congruently arranged connecting holes, into which correspondingly designed connecting pins are then inserted, or a screw connection can be carried out by means of screws and nuts.
  • the connecting holes arranged in the hard shoulder can be used in conjunction with further connecting holes formed in the free leg of the front edge of the product carrier and the use of suitable connecting means to bring about a secure mounting of the product carrier in the housing.
  • the invention provides for plug-like feet or the like made of rubber into the connecting holes of the hard shoulder of the housing or, in the case of a plurality of stacked housings of the lowest housing, Use plastic or the like from below. These feet are designed so that they protrude with their shaft over the hard shoulder upwards and protrude far enough into the connecting holes of the free leg of the product carrier to hold the latter securely in place.
  • the rear upstand of the goods carrier can advantageously be used to apply a poster badge thereon after the goods carrier has been inserted into the housing, which can be provided, for example, with information about the objects presented in the device, for example by printing or with appropriately designed stickers.
  • the front panel of the product carrier can also be used for information, for example by printing or using suitable, in particular self-adhesive labels.
  • all surfaces of the housing and the goods carrier of the device according to the invention can of course be used to hold information, in particular about the objects presented, all known techniques being applicable.
  • the housing 1 which is designed in one piece here, has the flat upper cover plate 2, the vertical flat side walls 3, and the flat inward standing strips 4 parallel to the cover plate 2.
  • Cover plate, side walls and hard shoulder merge into each other by means of the slight curves 5.
  • the connection holes 6 are formed in the corner regions of the cover plate 2 and in the end regions of the hard shoulder 4. Height, width and depth of the housing 1 and the thickness of the cover plate 2, the side walls 3 and the hard shoulder 4 are carried out according to the requirements, the thickness of the flat parts being appropriately dimensioned the same everywhere, but could also be made differently.
  • the height of the rear upstand 9 and the panel 11 and the width of the free leg 12 can be determined from case to case and are always chosen so that the most suitable embodiment of the device shape is ensured according to the objects to be presented.
  • the goods carrier 7, like the housing 1, is again formed in one piece, but could of course also be composed of several parts, possibly made of different materials.
  • the foot 15 for example made of rubber, plastic or the like, is inserted from below into the standing strip 4 of the housing 1 into the connecting hole 6, the shaft 16 projecting upward beyond the standing strip 4 .
  • the shaft 16 is inserted from below into the connection hole 6, not shown, of the free leg 12 of the product carrier 7.
  • the feet 15 can be provided for the feet 15 either to press them into the connecting holes or to screw them into the connecting holes.
  • the connecting pins 20 which are provided approximately in the middle with the annular collar 19, are inserted into the connecting holes 6 of the cover plate 2 of the lower housing 1a from above.
  • the upper part 20a of the connecting pins 20 is so long that the connecting pins 20 - as shown in FIG.
  • three housings 1a, 1b and 1c are arranged congruently one above the other.
  • the goods carriers 7a, 7b and 7c are accommodated, each of which has two display rows or display packs arranged one behind the other in a vertical arrangement and parallel to the front of the housings in two rows arranged side by side.
  • the connection of the housing and the goods carrier is carried out as described in connection with Figure 3, i.e. the lowermost housing 1a stands on the feet 15, through the shaft 16 of which the goods carrier 7a is held, whereas the connection between the housings 1a and 1b or 1b and 1c is carried out by means of connecting pins 20, which at the same time also connect to the goods carriers 7b and 7c.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further possibility of arranging and mutually connecting housings with one another, namely a bridge-shaped arrangement.
  • any number of devices according to the invention could also be arranged and connected to one another in many other ways. For example, several columns could be provided next to each other, each consisting of a plurality of devices arranged one above the other, or the arrangement according to FIG. 6 could be continued to the side and also upwards by an arrangement of the same type as a honeycomb. Likewise, for example, four devices arranged at intervals in a square distribution could each be connected with a corner area to a corner area of a further device arranged above it.
  • FIG. 7 An example of the possibility of presenting objects on a goods carrier 7 outside a housing 7 shows FIG. 7.
  • a lying arrangement could also be provided here, but an arrangement perpendicular to the screen 11 essentially only if the goods carrier 7 were still provided with a lateral boundary.
