The payment/article shelf is adjustable in height and/or at least partially horizontally and has the same or a smaller width than the front pane.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verkaufstheke mit einem Thekenkörper und einem Aufbau, der der Befestigung einer dreh- oder verschiebbaren Frontscheibe dient.The invention relates to a sales counter with a counter body and a structure which serves to fasten a rotatable or displaceable front pane.

Verkaufstheken werden in Großmärkten und Einzelhandelsgeschäften zur Aufbewahrung und Präsentation von Lebensmitteln verwendet. Sie werden insbesondere für Fleisch - und Wurstwaren, Käse, Fisch und Feinkostsalate eingesetzt. Eine derartige Verkaufstheke weist einen Möbel - korpus sowie einen darauf befindlichen Aufsatz auf. Der Aufsatz, unter dem sich die ausgestellte Ware befindet, ist aus hygienischen und kältetechnischen Gründen an seiner Vorderseite, die dem Kunden zugewandt ist, mit einer Frontscheibe versehen.Sales counters are used in supermarkets and retail stores for food storage and presentation. They are used in particular for meat and sausage products, cheese, fish and delicatessen salads. Such a sales counter has a furniture body and an attachment located thereon. For hygienic and refrigeration reasons, the attachment under which the exhibited goods are located is provided with a front screen on the front facing the customer.

An der verkäuferseitigen Rückseite der Verkaufstheke ist üblicherweise eine Arbeitsfläche für das Verkaufspersonal vorgesehen, auf dem diese die im Zusammenhang mit dem Abverkauf der Ware erforderlichen Arbeiten durchführt. Je nach Inhalt der Verkaufstheke muß beispielsweise Fleisch geschnitten, entbeint und geklopft, Wurst oder Käse geschnitten, Fisch ausgenommen und geschuppt oder Feinkostsalate in Portionsbecher eingefüllt werden; die fertig portionierte Ware muß so dann gewogen und verpackt werden. Zum Abwiegen sind üblicherweise Waagen auf der Arbeitsfläche aufgestellt.On the seller's rear side of the sales counter, a work area is usually provided for the sales staff, on which they perform the work required in connection with the sale of the goods. Depending on the contents of the sales counter, for example, meat has to be cut, boned and tapped, sausage or cheese cut, fish cut and scaly, or delicatessen salads filled into portion cups; the finished portioned goods must then be weighed and packaged. Scales are usually set up on the work surface for weighing.

An der Oberseite des Aufsatzes weist die Verkaufstheke eine Abstellfläche auf, auf der bei - spielsweise Zahlteller untergebracht sind und auf der die Übergabe der verpackten Ware an den Kunden erfolgt.At the top of the top, the sales counter has a storage area on which, for example, payment plates are housed and on which the packaged goods are handed over to the customer.

Es hat sich in der Praxis gezeigt, daß derartige Verkaufstheken in mehrfacher Hinsicht nachteilig sind. Die als Zahl- und Warenübergabebereich dienende Abstellfläche läßt sich weder vertikal noch horizontal verstellen. Darüber hinaus sind vor dem Hochklappen der Frontscheibe sämtliche auf der Abstellfläche befindlichen Gegenstände, wie z.B. Zahlteller oder Werbeaccessoieres, abzuräu - men, um ein Herunterfallen zu vermeiden. Da die Arbeitsfläche von der Kundenseite schlecht einzu - sehen ist, ist es für den Kunden oft schwierig, zu sehen, welche Ware er vom Verkaufspersonal zu - geteilt bekommt. Andererseits ist es für das Verkaufspersonal mühsam, für den Kunden die Ware gut sichtbar hochhalten zu müssen. Als weiterer Nachteil ist anzuführen, daß die Abstellfläche bei der Warenübergabe an den Kunden häufig durch außen an der Verpackung befindliche Verunreini - gungen (wie z.B. Fleischsaft, Marinade etc.) verschmutzt wird, so daß ein häufiges Reinigen der Warenübergabeplatte erforderlich ist.It has been shown in practice that such sales counters are disadvantageous in several ways. The storage area serving as payment and goods transfer area cannot be adjusted vertically or horizontally. In addition, all items on the shelf such as e.g. Clear away payment plates or advertising accessories to prevent them from falling off. Since the work area is difficult to see from the customer 's side, it is often difficult for the customer to see which goods he is being allocated by the sales staff. On the other hand, it is tedious for the sales staff to have to keep the goods clearly visible to the customer. Another disadvantage is that the storage area is often soiled when the goods are handed over to the customer due to impurities on the outside of the packaging (such as meat juice, marinade, etc.), so that the goods transfer plate has to be cleaned frequently.

Aus der DE - PS 36 02 650 ist eine Verkaufs - theke der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, die zu der bisher bekannten Abstell- bzw. Warenüber - gabefläche an der Oberseite des Aufsatzes eine zusätzliche Abstellfläche, die durch eine am Auf - satz befestigte Platte gebildet wird, besitzt. Diese Platte ist auf einer vertikalen Drehachse drehbar angeordnet. Dadurch wird für das Verkaufspersonal die Möglichkeit geschaffen, dem Kunden die Ware in unmittelbarer Nähe zu zeigen. Die Arbeitsfläche der Verkaufstheke läßt sich besonders leicht reini - gen, da die üblicherweise auf der Arbeitsfläche befindlichen Gegenstände zumindest während des Reinigungsvorganges auf der Platte abgestellt werden können. Die eigentliche Abstell- bzw. Warenübergabefläche auf dem Aufsatz, die häufig durch eine Glasplatte gebildet ist, wird dadurch geschont.From DE - PS 36 02 650 a sales counter of the type mentioned is known which, in addition to the previously known storage or goods transfer area on the top of the attachment, has an additional storage area formed by a plate attached to the attachment is owned. This plate is rotatably arranged on a vertical axis of rotation. This creates the opportunity for the sales staff to show the customer the goods in the immediate vicinity. The work surface of the sales counter is particularly easy to clean, since the items usually on the work surface can be placed on the plate at least during the cleaning process. This protects the actual storage or goods transfer area on the top, which is often formed by a glass plate.

Ferner weisen Verkaufstheken in der Regel eine über ihre gesamte Breite verlaufende Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte auf, was jedoch gerade bei sehr breiten bzw. mehreren nebeneinanderan - geordneten Verkaufstheken nicht unbedingt notwendig ist. In vielen Fällen ist die Verwendung von Zahl- bzw. Warenübergabeplatten an einigen ausgewählten Stellen bzw. mit entsprechenden Abständen zwischen den einzelnen Zahl- bzw. Warenübergabeplatten ausreichend.Furthermore, sales counters generally have a number plate or goods transfer plate that runs over their entire width, which is, however, not absolutely necessary, especially in the case of very wide or several sales counters arranged side by side. In many cases, the use of payment or goods transfer plates is sufficient in some selected locations or with appropriate distances between the individual payment or goods transfer plates.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verkaufstheke der ein - gangs genannten Art zu entwickeln, die sich durch besondere Übersichtlichkeit für den Kunden, einfache Bedienbarkeit und leichte Reinigbarkeit für das Verkaufspersonal sowie größtmögliche Variabilität hinsichtlich der Zahl- bzw. Warenübergabeplatte auszeichnet.The present invention is therefore based on the object of developing a sales counter of the type mentioned at the outset which is distinguished by particular clarity for the customer, ease of use and ease of cleaning for the sales staff and the greatest possible variability with regard to the payment or goods transfer plate.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß auf dem oberen Rand des Aufbaus mindestens eine von der Frontscheibe abgetrennte Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte befestigt ist.This object is achieved in that at least one number plate or goods transfer plate, which is separated from the windscreen, is fastened to the upper edge of the structure.

Auf diese Weise wird eine Trennung der Zahl- bzw. Warenübergabeplatte von der Frontscheibe erreicht, sprich im Falle des Aufklappens der Frontscheibe bleibt die Zahl - bzw. Waren - übergabeplatte unverändert in ihrer Stellung, so daß ein Abräumen von auf ihr abgestellten Acces - soires nicht mehr notwendig ist. Das Anbringen einer Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte kann nun auch ausschließlich an den Stellen der Verkaufs - theke erfolgen, an denen es für den Abverkauf der in der Verkaufstheke dargebotenen Waren sinnvoll erscheint.In this way, a separation of the payment or goods transfer plate from the windshield is achieved, that is, in the event that the front window is opened, the number - or goods - transfer plate remains unchanged in its position, so that no clearing of acces - soires placed on it is more necessary. A number plate or goods transfer plate can now only be attached at the points on the sales counter where it makes sense for the sale of the goods presented in the sales counter.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte in der Höhe verstellbar ist.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the number or goods transfer plate is adjustable in height.

Die Höhenverstellung wird in der Regel dadurch erreicht, daß die Stütze, an derem oberen Ende die Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte befe - stigt ist, einen teleskopartig wirkenden Verstellme - chanismus aufweist. Die Sicherung der ausgezogenen Stütze erfolgt mittels Bolzen oder Schrau - ben. Darüber hinaus sind dem Fachmann weitere Arten von entsprechenden Höhenverstellmechanismen bekannt.The height adjustment is generally achieved in that the support, at the upper end of which the payment or goods transfer plate is fastened, has a telescoping adjustment mechanism. The extended support is secured with bolts or screws. In addition, the expert is more Types of corresponding height adjustment mechanisms are known.

Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht so auf ein - fachste Weise eine Anpassung der Höhe der Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte sowohl an die Art der Verkaufstheke als auch an die Größe des Verkaufspersonals.This configuration thus enables the height of the number plate or goods transfer plate to be adapted in the simplest manner both to the type of sales counter and to the size of the sales staff.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte zumindest teil - weise horizontal verstellbar ist.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the number plate or goods transfer plate is at least partially horizontally adjustable.

Diese Ausgestaltung erlaubt nun entweder das horizontale Verschieben der gesamten Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte oder das horizontale Verschieben eines Teilsegmentes der Zahl- bzw. Warenübergabeplatte. So wird wiederum nicht nur ein Anpassen der Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabe - platte an die Art der Verkaufstheke sondern auch ein kunden - und verkaufspersonalfreundlicherer Austausch zwischen der abverkauften Ware und der gegebenenfalls direkt an der Verkaufstheke dafür zu entrichtenden Bezahlung ermöglicht.This configuration now allows either the horizontal shifting of the entire payment or goods transfer plate or the horizontal shifting of a sub-segment of the payment or goods transfer plate. In this way, not only is it possible to adapt the number or goods transfer plate to the type of sales counter, but also a more customer- and sales personnel-friendly exchange between the sold goods and the payment that may be made directly at the sales counter.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die verstellbare Zahl - bzw. Warenübergabeplatte die gleiche oder eine geringere Breite als die Frontscheibe bzw. Verkaufstheke aufweist.A preferred development of the invention is characterized in that the adjustable number plate or goods transfer plate has the same or a smaller width than the front window or sales counter.

Die vorliegende Erfindung bietet durch die Trennung der Zahl- bzw. Warenübergabeplatte von der Frontscheibe eine gegenüber dem Stand der Technik vergrößerte Variabilität sowie die Möglichkeit des Anbringens der Zahl- bzw. Warenübergabeplatte ausschließlich an den Stellen, an denen dies für den Abverkauf der in der Verkaufstheke dargebotenen Waren notwendig erscheint.By separating the payment or goods transfer plate from the windscreen, the present invention offers greater variability compared to the prior art and the possibility of attaching the payment or goods transfer plate only at the points where this is necessary for the sale of items in the sales counter offered goods appears necessary.
