Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a display for the sale of various articles and, more particularly, such a display used in big box stores and whose display trays are of a fairly large depth which prohibits, or makes difficult for customers to access the items at the back of these bins.
  • Document US-A-4 531 646 discloses a display unit which comprises a fixed frame open at its front part, two lateral rear vertical uprights each suspended from a vertical lateral upright front of the fixed chassis so as to be able to move limited vertical, and presentation trays each of which is supported at its rear end on support pins carried by the rear movable uprights and, at its front part, is pivotally supported on support axes carried by the uprights fixed front verticals.
  • presentation trays By manual actuation of one of the presentation trays, all of these can be pivoted between a presentation position in which their front part has an inclination downwards and a reloading position in which their rear part is tilted backwards (which makes it easier to reload the trays).
  • a device as described in the document US Pat. No. 4,531,646 mentioned above cannot be suitable for devices of large dimensions, such as those present in large surface stores, which are of great length and significant depth and which are intended to contain heavy items such as full beverage bottles.
  • the rear support of the presentation trays is produced by independent rear vertical uprights, simply suspended by cross-members articulated to fixed front vertical uprights and it is understood although such a system would not withstand the weight of large bins heavily loaded with full bottles.
  • the presentation trays rest on short axes projecting from the vertical uprights and which could not withstand such loads.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the shortcomings presented by the device of document US-A-4 531 646, by proposing a presentation device of this general type which is of great robustness, of high operating reliability and very easy to use, allowing its application to a device with large and heavily loaded presentation trays.
  • the device for the presentation of articles is of the type comprising a fixed frame made of front and rear vertical uprights connected by crosspieces, rear vertical support uprights movable vertically according to a limited stroke with respect to said rear vertical uprights of the fixed frame, horizontal support members carried by the front vertical uprights of the fixed frame and by the rear movable vertical uprights at least one presentation tray attached to its rear part to a said member horizontal support carried by the movable rear vertical support uprights and pivotally supported near its front part on a said horizontal support member carried by the front vertical support uprights of the fixed frame, and means controlling the vertical movement rear vertical support uprights movable between a high position in which the said presentation tray takes a presentation position with a forward inclination relative to the horizontal, and a low position in which the said presentation tray takes a loading position with a tilt backwards from the horizontal, and it characterized in that the movable rear vertical support uprights are interconnected by side members to form a vertically movable frame and carry movable guide
  • the means for controlling the vertical movement of the mobile chassis is constituted by an endless screw integral in translation with the fixed chassis and engaged in a nut secured to the mobile chassis.
  • Other modifications of the device according to the independent claim are defined in the dependent claims.
  • the display unit comprises a fixed frame constituted, on each side, by a rear vertical upright 1 and a front vertical upright 2 connected at their upper and lower ends by cross members 3 and 4 respectively.
  • lower 4 serving as support feet on the ground, each have an extension 5 towards the front.
  • the rear vertical uprights 1 are connected together by upper 6 and lower 7 longitudinal members, and likewise the front vertical uprights 2 are connected together by upper 8 and lower 9 beams, so that the fixed chassis thus formed is particularly robust.
  • each guide member 14 comprises a horizontal axis 16 parallel to the side members 5, 6 and connecting two parallel cheeks 17 which extend the upright 1 forward, while each guide member 15 comprises a vertical blade 18 extending the upright rearward vertical 10 and engaging between the cheeks 17.
  • the blade 18 has axially an oblong slot 19 inside which can move, during a relative movement, the axis 16.
  • the fixed front uprights 2 have, over their length, a series of regularly spaced openings 20, facing each other, inside which the ends of load bars 21 are engaged, these load bars thus being parallel and evenly spaced along the uprights 2.
  • the load bars 21 serve as a support for the front part of presentation trays 22.
  • the bottom of the tray 22 is secured on its outer face, near its front end, to a piece of fixing 23 oriented along the length of the tank and which presents a form of angle iron 24 towards the rear intended to come to bear on the load bar 21.
  • the movable vertical uprights 10 likewise have, over their length, a series of openings 25 regularly spaced and facing one upright relative to the other. Inside these openings 25 are engaged the ends of load bars 26 whose body is enclosed in a part 27 with a U-profile of a fixing part 28, parallel to the fixing part 23 and integral with the part rear of the outer face of the bottom of the tank 22.
  • a fixed rear spar 29 serves as a support for a reversible electric motor 30, the output shaft of which is constituted by an endless screw 31 oriented vertically upwards.
  • the worm 31 is engaged in a nut 32 which projects rearwards from the intermediate spar 13 of the movable chassis.
  • the motor 30 is connected to the sector, as well as to a control button 33 by means of a wire.
  • the motor 30 includes automatic limit switches, so that the device stops automatically in positions of predetermined inclination forwards and backwards.
