Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verkaufstheke mit einem Untertisch, einer bedienungsseitigen Arbeitsplatte und mit einem sich käuferseitig an die Arbeitsplatte anschließenden, einen Warentragboden aufnehmenden Theken-Aufsatz, der mehrere von der Arbeitsplatte schräg aufwärts stehend angeordnete Pfosten zum Abstützen einer den Theken-Aufsatz käuferseitig abschließenden Scheibenkonstruktion enthält, wobei die Verkaufstheke elektrisch antreibbare Arbeitsgerätschaften, Beleuchtungen und diesen zugeordnete Bedienungsglieder aufweist, die in einem Behältnis zusammengefaßt sind und das Behältnis mit einem Pfosten an einer dem Verkäufer zugewandten Stelle verbunden ist.The invention relates to a sales counter with a lower table, an operator-side worktop and with a counter top which adjoins the countertop on the buyer side and which receives a goods support floor and which has a plurality of posts arranged obliquely upwards from the worktop for supporting a counter top which closes the counter top on the buyer side Disc construction contains, the sales counter has electrically drivable work equipment, lighting and associated operating elements, which are combined in a container and the container is connected to a post at a point facing the seller.

Eine solche Konstruktion einer Verkaufstheke ist durch die EP-A 0 279 789 bekannt geworden.Such a construction of a sales counter has become known from EP-A 0 279 789.

In der Praxis befinden sich sämtliche zur elektrischen Betätigung und Steuerung erforderlichen Einrichtungen im Untertisch der Verkaufstheke, wofür ein besonderer Platz, insbesondere in Form einer Schublade, reserviert ist. Dadurch ergibt sich zwar der Vorteil, daß der elektrotechnische Teil sich abseits von der ausgebreiteten Ware und den Bedienflächen der Verkaufstheke befindet. Es muß dann allerdings eine umständliche Handhabungsweise in Kauf genommen werden, weil die Anordnung des elektrotechnischen Teiles nahe des Bodens das Bedienen und Ablesen der Steuerzustände erschwert.In practice, all of the facilities required for electrical actuation and control are located in the lower table of the sales counter, for which a special space, in particular in the form of a drawer, is reserved. This has the advantage that the electrotechnical part is located away from the spread goods and the operating surfaces of the sales counter. However, a cumbersome handling must then be accepted because the arrangement of the electrotechnical part near the floor makes it difficult to operate and read the control states.

Die EP-A 0 279 789 beschreibt eine Möglichkeit, diese Schwierigkeiten zu vermeiden, indem eine elektrische Konsole zur Aufnahme der elektrischen Bedienungsglieder an der verkäuferseitigen Vorderwand eines Pfostens im vollen Blickfeld des Verkäufers angebracht wird, wobei das Konsolengehäuse eine Vergrößerung des Vitrinenpfostens bilden soll.EP-A 0 279 789 describes a way of avoiding these difficulties by attaching an electrical console for receiving the electrical operating elements to the seller's front wall of a post in the seller's full field of vision, the console housing being intended to form an enlargement of the display case post.

Durch eine solche Maßnahme wird jedoch eine die herkömmliche Grundform der Vitrine deutlich verändernde Gestaltung herbeigeführt, die sich im ästhetischen Sinn störend auswirkt und obendrein als vorstehendes Element wie ein Schmutzfänger wirkt.Such a measure, however, brings about a design which significantly changes the conventional basic shape of the display case, which has an aesthetically disturbing effect and, moreover, acts as a protruding element like a dirt trap.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine die geschilderten Probleme vermeidende Verkaufstheke zu entwickeln, bei der das Bedienen und Ablesen der elektrischen Steuerung sämtlicher Aggregate unter ergonomischen Gesichtspunkten erfolgen kann, ohne daß damit eine wesentliche Anderung der Gestaltung und Raumaufteilung der Verkaufstheke erforderlich ist.The invention has for its object to develop a sales counter avoiding the problems described, in which the operation and reading of the electrical control of all units can be done from an ergonomic point of view, without a substantial change in the design and space distribution of the sales counter is required.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß der Pfosten (6) bzw. eine mit dem Pfosten (6) verbundene Traverse (7) einen Hohlraum (18) aufweist, in den das Behältnis (15) als integraler Bestandteil eingesetzt ist.This object is achieved with the invention in that the post (6) or a cross member (7) connected to the post (6) has a cavity (18) into which the container (15) is inserted as an integral part.

Durch die Trennung des Bedienungsgliedes von den zu steuernden Arbeitsgerätschaften ergibt sich eine beträchtliche Platz- und Gewichtsersparnis, weil es sich gezeigt hat, daß die bisher für erforderlich gehaltene Schublade zur Aufnahme der elektrischen Aggregate entbehrlich geworden und der von der Schublade bisher eingenommene Raum für andere Zwecke freigeworden ist, zum Beispiel als Lagerraum. Die Anordnung des Bedienungsgliedes innerhalb des Pfostens beziehungsweise der Traverse führt dazu, daß die Bedienungsglieder und die Funktionsanzeige im Blickfeld der aufrecht stehenden Bedienungsperson sich befindet und für die Betätigung leicht zugänglich ist, ohne das ästhetische Bild der Vitrine zu beeinträchtigen oder als Schmutzfänger zu wirken.The separation of the control element from the work tools to be controlled results in a considerable saving in space and weight, because it has been shown that the drawer previously considered necessary to hold the electrical units has become unnecessary and that of the drawer so far occupied space has become free for other purposes, for example as storage space. The arrangement of the control element within the post or the crossmember means that the control elements and the function display are in the field of vision of the upright operator and are easily accessible for operation without impairing the aesthetic appearance of the display case or acting as a dirt trap.

Zu diesem Zweck erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, wenn der Einsatz an seiner verkäuferseitigen Front eine Tastatur (Bedientableau) mit einer Funktionsanzeige für das einzelne Bedienungsglied aufweist. Diese Tastatur kann beispielsweise durch eine Folie außenseitig abgeschlossen sein, die mit druckempfindlichen Schaltern in Verbindung steht, welche mit dem Einsatz verbunden sind. Außerdem weist der Einsatz einen oder mehrere Mikroprozessoren sowie eine Steckverbindungsanordnung für die Stromversorgung und für die Impulsgeber auf. Die Kabel für die Stromversorgung und die Impulsgeber werden bevorzugt durch den Hohlraum des Pfostens beziehungsweise der Traverse zu einer distanziert angeordneten Elektronik sowie zu den Arbeitsgerätschaften, Beleuchtungskörpern und dergleichen geführt.For this purpose, it proves to be advantageous if the insert has a keyboard (control panel) on its seller's front with a function display for the individual control element. This keyboard can, for example, be closed on the outside by a film which is connected to pressure-sensitive switches which are connected to the insert. In addition, the insert has one or more microprocessors and a connector arrangement for the power supply and for the pulse generator. The cables for the power supply and the pulse generators are preferably routed through the cavity of the post or the crossmember to a spaced-apart electronics as well as to the work equipment, lighting fixtures and the like.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 1 und 2 ist eine Verkaufstheke (1) üblicher Bauart dargestellt, die einen Untertisch (3) und einen Theken-Aufsatz (2) aufweist. Im Theken-Aufsatz (2) befindet sich ein Warentragboden (4), auf dem die Ware ausgebreitet ist und von der Käuferseite durch eine Scheibenkonstruktion (9) erkennbar ist.In the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1 and 2, a sales counter (1) of conventional design is shown, which has a lower table (3) and a counter top (2). In the counter top (2) there is a goods support floor (4) on which the goods are spread out and can be recognized by the buyer through a pane construction (9).

Der Theken-Aufsatz (2) weist mehrere von einer Arbeitsplatte (5) schräg ansteigende Pfosten (6) auf, die an ihrem oberen Rand durch eine Traverse (7) in Form eines First-Profiles verbunden sind. An dieser Traverse (7) befindet sich ein Schwenklager (10) zur Lagerung von Beschlägen (8), welche ihrerseits die Scheibenkonstruktion (9) tragen. Um dieses Schwenklager (10) läßt sich die Scheibenkonstruktion (9) nach oben verschwenken.The counter top (2) has a plurality of posts (6) which rise obliquely from a worktop (5) and which are connected at their upper edge by a crossmember (7) in the form of a ridge profile. On this cross member (7) there is a swivel bearing (10) for mounting fittings (8), which in turn support the pane construction (9). The disc structure (9) can be swiveled upwards around this pivot bearing (10).

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 1 und 2 befindet sich in mindestens einer der als Hohlprofil ausgebildeten Pfosten (6) ein als Einsatz (15) ausgebildetes Behältnis an der dem Verkäufer zugänglichen Seite, welches als Bedienteil für eine Steuerung angesehen werden kann. Dieser Einsatz (15) soll alle diejenigen elektrotechnischen Bedienungselemente aufnehmen, welche zur Steuerung und Funktionsanzeige der elektrischen Arbeitsgerätschaften, Beleuchtungen und dergleichen Anordnungen erforderlich sind. Damit werden die Bedienungsglieder von den zu bedienenden Gerätschaften distanziert. Im Beispiel der Fig. 1 sind als solche elektrotechnischen Arbeitsgerätschaften beispielsweise die Beleuchtung (11), der Verdampfer (12) und der Ventilator (13) angedeutet.In the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1 and 2, in at least one of the posts (6) designed as a hollow profile there is a container (15) designed as an insert on the side accessible to the seller, which can be regarded as an operating part for a control. This insert (15) is intended to accommodate all those electrical control elements which are necessary for the control and function display of the electrical work equipment, lighting and the like arrangements. The operating elements are thus distanced from the equipment to be operated. In the example in FIG. 1, the lighting (11), the evaporator (12) and the fan (13) are indicated as such electrotechnical work tools.

Mit (14) ist in Fig. 1 eine Schublade oder ein Ablage-Tragboden bezeichnet, die bei vorbekannten Verkaufstheken zur Aufnahme des gesamten elektrotechnischen Gerätes erforderlich waren. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Trennung von Bedienungsgliedern und den zu steuernden elektrischen Gerätschaften wird diese Schublade (14) entbehrlich, deren Raum für andere Zwecke, zum Beispiel als Lagerraum, eingesetzt werden kann.With (14) in Fig. 1, a drawer or a storage tray is referred to, which were required in known sales counters to accommodate the entire electrical device. The inventive separation of operating elements and the electrical equipment to be controlled makes this drawer (14) unnecessary, the space of which can be used for other purposes, for example as storage space.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung besteht der Pfosten (6) gemäß Fig. 3 aus einem Hohlprofil (16), insbesondere aus einem Leichtmetall-Strangpreßprofil, der von einem Steg (17) durchsetzt ist, wodurch Hohlräume (18) gebildet werden. Der größere der beiden Hohlräume (18), der verkäuferseitig zu liegen kommt, kann ohne weiteres zur Aufnahme des Einsatzes (15) (siehe Fig. 4) verwendet werden, indem man einen Teilbereich der Wand (20) beispielsweise längs der Schnittebene (21) abtrennt. Der Einsatz (15) wird demgemäß kassettenartig gestaltet, wobei darauf zu achten ist, daß die außenliegende Außenkontur (24) des Einsatzes der vorgegebenen Kontur des Pfostens (6) folgt, so daß der Eindruck erweckt wird, als sei der Einsatz (15) ein integraler Bestandteil des Pfostens (6).In the embodiment of the invention, the post (6) according to FIG. 3 consists of a hollow profile (16), in particular of a light metal extruded profile, which is penetrated by a web (17), whereby cavities (18) are formed. The larger of the two cavities (18), which comes to rest on the seller side, can easily be used for receiving the insert (15) (see FIG. 4) by part of the wall (20), for example along the cutting plane (21). separates. The insert (15) is accordingly designed in the manner of a cassette, it being important to ensure that the outer contour (24) the insert follows the predetermined contour of the post (6), so that the impression is given as if the insert (15) was an integral part of the post (6).

Die Fig. 4 zeigt, daß der Einsatz (15) einen Innenraum für die Aufnahme des elektrischen Steuerteiles (23) aufweist, der nach außen durch ein Bedientableau (22) abgeschlossen ist. Dieses Bedientableau (22), von dem in Fig. 5 das Beispiel einer teilweisen Vorderansicht gezeigt wird, soll druckempfindliche Schalter sowie Funktionsanzeigen (Display) aufweisen.Fig. 4 shows that the insert (15) has an interior for receiving the electrical control part (23), which is closed to the outside by a control panel (22). This control panel (22), of which the example of a partial front view is shown in FIG. 5, is intended to have pressure-sensitive switches and function indicators (displays).

Das elektrische Steuerteil (23) steht mit einer Elektronik in Verbindung, die an anderer Stelle der Verkaufstheke (1) untergebracht ist. Der elektrische Anschluß kann beispielsweise über Steckverbindungselemente erfolgen, wobei es sich empfiehlt, die Kabel für die Stromversorgung und die Impulsgeber durch den Hohlraum des Pfostens zu führen.The electrical control part (23) is connected to an electronic system, which is located elsewhere on the sales counter (1). The electrical connection can be made, for example, by means of plug-in connection elements, it being advisable to route the cables for the power supply and the pulse generator through the cavity of the post.

Im Beispiel der Fig. 6 ist eine Alternative zu Fig. 2 gezeigt, wonach es möglich ist, die Traverse (7) mit dem Einsatz (15) zu verbinden. Diese Möglichkeit bietet sich vor allem dann an, wenn die Traverse (7) als Hohlprofil gestaltet sein kann und ihre Lage im Bewegungsbereich der Bedienungsperson sich befindet.The example in FIG. 6 shows an alternative to FIG. 2, according to which it is possible to connect the cross member (7) to the insert (15). This option is particularly useful when the crossbeam (7) can be designed as a hollow profile and its position is in the range of movement of the operator.

Bei einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Frontalseite des Einsatzes (15) von einer Folie (25) abgedeckt, welche entsprechende Aufdrucke für die Funktion der einzelnen, hinter der Folie sich befindlichen druckempfindlichen Tastschalter trägt.
