Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the semi-automatic distribution of liquid or pasty products, in particular of food product of the sauces, mayonnaise, mustard type. It relates more particularly to a column specially adapted for the distribution of such products by pumping from a container, this distribution being carried out in a container presented on a flat support by a consumer in a standing position, in particular in a self-service.
  • Semi-automatic liquid dispensers are already known, which are located in self-services. These distributors include a distribution column, equipped with a liquid injection head, supplied either by gravity or by pumping. When the consumer wants to fill his glass, he introduces it under the injection head by pressing on a moving part acting as a contactor, which controls the starting of the pump. Once the glass is filled, the consumer moves it away from the moving part and the injection stops. It is understood that as many distribution columns and mobile contactors are required as there are liquids to be distributed.
  • this type of distribution column has various drawbacks.
  • its structure is specially adapted for dispensing into glasses, that is to say containers taking up a reduced space under the injection head and which are held by the consumer under this injection head when said glass is applied to the mobile contactor.
  • This structure is totally unsuitable when it comes to distributing other types of food products, in particular sauces, mayonnaise or mustard which must be injected into plates.
  • the indication of the product corresponding to the distributor does not appear explicitly on the latter but is carried on a label or a placard placed above the distributor.
  • the first object of the invention is to provide a semi-automatic column of liquid or pasty product, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks in that it is particularly suitable for the distribution of pasty element in. plates and in that the consumer, in a standing position, can easily see the indication of the product distributed.
  • the column comprises a frame fixed to the flat support and having, turned towards the consumer, a first substantially planar face and inclined towards the consumer at an angle between 40 and 60 ° relative to said flat support, and a second face, information carrier, which extends the first face towards the rear and which is substantially perpendicular thereto, moreover the column comprises at least one product injection head which is mounted towards the upper part of the first side and a pump control button which is mounted on the second side.
  • the consumer can place his plate on the flat support, until it comes into contact with the first face of the frame; in this position, the plate is placed under the injection head so that the consumer can, thanks to the angle of inclination and the flatness of this first face, see precisely the quantity of product which will be dispensed when he will press the command button. At the same time, he can see the indication on the second side of the frame.
  • the frame has the form of a polyhedron with six faces and comprises two structural elements in folded sheet;
  • the first structural element corresponds to the first, second and third faces of the polyhedron, said third face being fixed on the flat support and having at least one passage orifice for the pipe connecting the pumping system to the injection head and for the electric cable connecting the control button to the pump motor,
  • the second element of structure corresponds to the fourth, fifth and sixth faces of the polyhedron; in addition the two structural elements are provided with securing means allowing the nesting of the second element on the first.
  • the distribution column has two injection heads and two control buttons, allowing the distribution of two separate products. So the consumer does not have to move his plate but simply to choose the button corresponding to the product he wishes to obtain.
  • the first structural element comprises an internal amount of stiffening, which is fixed perpendicular to the first, second and third faces and which separates the frame of the column into two independent compartments.
  • Each compartment corresponds to the distribution of a given product.
  • the distribution column also includes a container pose, intended to be placed on the flat support and which is composed of a receptacle having substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped open on the top and of a receptacle cover, dimensioned to cover the receptacle and pierced with a hole;
  • the frame comprises means for securing the receptacle cover, making it possible to lock the container fitting in position on the flat support under the injection head; finally, the receptacle cover is pierced, for each injection head, with a hole which is situated vertical to said head.
  • the excess product likely to flow from the injection head falls directly into the receptacle through the hole drilled in the receptacle cover. It is therefore no longer visible to the consumer, does not soil the surface of the receptacle cover which is intended to receive the container.
  • the receptacle cover has substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, open on the bottom but whose rear face is parallel to the first face of the frame of the column; in addition, the frame has at least one fixing lug, mounted on this first face near the flat support, whereby the securing of the container pose with the frame is carried out by sliding the inclined rear face of the receptacle cover between the first face of the frame of the column and the mounting bracket.
  • Column 1 of semi-automatic distribution is particularly intended for the distribution of pasty food product, such as sauces, mayonnaise, mustard ... in self-services.
  • Column 1 is composed of a frame 2 which is fixed on the flat support 3, which faces the consumer.
  • buttons 6, 7 are connected, by means of electrical cables 8, 9 to the motor of a pump not shown , capable of withdrawing the pasty product from a container and moving it inside pipes 11, 12 to the injection heads 4, 5.
  • the frame 2 of the column 1 has two of its faces which are turned towards the consumer, namely a first face 13 on which the injection heads 4, 5 are mounted and a second face 14 on which the control buttons are mounted 6 and 7.
  • the first face 13 is inclined at an angle ⁇ , which is between 40 and 60 °, relative to the planar support 3.
  • the injection heads 4 and 5 are mounted towards the upper end of this first face. In addition, they are relatively close together, for example 5 to 10 cm apart.
  • This second face 14 are cut two windows 15, 16 covered by a translucent material 17.
  • Each window 15 , 16 is placed above one of the control buttons 6, 7.
  • each button corresponds to a window.
  • indications have been given relating to the nature of the pasty product 10 corresponding to the button, 6, 7 located under said window 15, 16.
  • the frame 2 of the column 1 has the shape of a polyhedron with six faces 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21. It consists of a first structural element 22 which groups together the first three faces 13, 14 and 18 and a cover 23 which groups together the other three faces 19, 20 and 21.
  • the first structural element 22, like the cover 23, are made of folded sheet metal.
  • the third face 18 of the second structural element 22, which extends the first face 13 forms with it an angle which is equal to (2 ⁇ - ⁇ ) in such a way that said third face 18 is applied to the plane support 3
  • the fixing of column 1 is produced by any suitable means, for example using bolts and nuts rigidly fixing the third face 18 of the second structural element 22 to the plane support 3.
  • This same third face 18 is pierced with two holes 24 , 25, which are placed just opposite corresponding holes 26, drilled in the plane support 3.
  • the cover 23 covers the second structural element 22, thus delimiting the interior space 27 of the column 1.
  • the structure of the cover 23 is designed so that it is easily separable from the second structural element 22. It acts of a simple folded sheet with rounded edges, cut to cover the second structural element 22, as clearly appears 1 in FIG. 1.
  • the connection between the second structural element 22 and the cover 23 is obtained by sliding two sets of pins 28 and 29, welded on the rear face 20 of the cover 23 and turned towards the inside thereof, in recesses 30, 31 made respectively in a first bent extension 32 of the second face 14 and a second bent extension 33 of the third face 18 of the second structural element 22.
  • the pins 28, 29 have a swollen end piece 34. As can be seen in FIG.
  • the recesses 30 made in the first extension 32 are of oblong shape, with the part 35 closest to the elbow 36 which is wider than the part 37 furthest from said elbow.
  • the recesses 31 of the second extension 33 are of oblong shape, being open on the extreme edge 38 of said extension 33.
  • the width of the narrowest part 37 of the first recesses 30 as well as that of the recesses 31 is less than that of the swollen end piece 34 of the lugs 28 and 29.
  • the second structural element 22 also includes a stiffening upright 39 which is welded to the three faces 13, 14, 18 of said element, perpendicular to these.
  • Said upright 39 divides the interior space 27 of column 1 into two symmetrical compartments, each of said compartments being intended for the distribution of a product 10.
  • the members necessary for the distribution of a product in particular the electric cable 8 for connecting the control button 6 to the drive motor of the withdrawal pump, the pipe 11 connecting the product container to the injection head 4 via the pump as well as a system of lighting 40 facing the translucent material 17 covering the window 15.
  • the lighting system 40, and the block 41 constituting the upper part of the injection head 4 are symmetrically fixed on the central upright 39.
  • a container pose 42 is disposed on the flat support 3, at the base of the frame 2 of the column 1.
  • This container pose 42 is integral with said frame 2. It is composed of an element lower invisible to the consumer, which acts as a receptacle for the excess product falling from the injection head 4 and an upper element, the receptacle cover 44.
  • the receptacle 43 is a bowl which has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped open towards the top.
  • the receptacle cover 44 is dimensioned to cover integrally the receptacle 43; it therefore has no bottom and has substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with the exception of its rear face 45 which is inclined, so that it can be joined along the first face 13 of the frame 2.
  • two fixing lugs 46 are welded.
  • the receptacle 43 is first placed on the flat support 3 and then covered with the receptacle cover 44 by introducing the face rear 45 of the latter behind the fixing lugs 46 so that said receptacle cover 44 is held in position on the flat support 3.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ of the first face 13 of the frame 2 relative to the plane support 3 was of the order of 45 °, with a length L ( Figure 1 ) of said first face 13 of the order of 40 cm.
  • the injection heads 4, 5 were mounted on the frame at a distance l of the order of 7.5 cm relative to the second face 14.
  • the column in question can be used for the semi-automatic distribution of products other than pasty food products, for example for the distribution of shampoos and other cosmetics in a hair salon.
  • the information carried on the second face (18) of the frame (2) is not necessarily on a translucent material (17); they can be affixed in any suitable form, for example a self-adhesive label directly stuck on said face.
