Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are used in counters which serve to sell goods and can also be designed as refrigerated counters.
  • the goods are visibly presented to the customer inside the counter.
  • a pane belonging to the device is used, which is preferably transparent to allow the customer to view the goods.
  • the pane can be swiveled around a horizontal axis and, if the goods are to be protected inside the counter, is in a lowered position. To fill the goods or to clean the inside of the counter, the pane can be swung up into a lifting position.
  • the disc is attached to a hinge part which is pivotally mounted in a bearing part.
  • an energy store serves as a lifting aid, which is usually designed as a gas pressure spring.
  • This energy accumulator has two connection ends, one of which is articulated on the movable joint part and the other of which is fixed. The two connection ends are loaded against each other in the sense of an increasing distance. This force load makes it easier to lift the pane, holds the pane in its up position and dampens the lowering of the pane.
  • the pivoting of the disc between its lowering and lifting position runs in an essentially vertical plane, which is why it will hereinafter be referred to as "pivoting plane" for short.
  • the force direction of the energy accumulator is due to its two The force exerted on the connection ends is determined.
  • the direction of force of the energy accumulator was always arranged parallel to the pivoting plane of the disk.
  • a so-called "payment plate” (EP-0 263 957-A2)
  • horizontal support arms are required for fastening them.
  • the support arms have a U-profile and the two U-legs each form the bearing part for the pivotable hinge part holding the disc.
  • the energy accumulators are arranged in the interior of the U-profile and their connection ends are supported on the one hand on the joint part and on the other hand on a fixed articulation point in the support arm via rotary joints. Consequently, not only the entire length of the energy accumulator is arranged in the support arms, but also at least a portion of the joint part. Therefore, the support arms must have a certain minimum length, which leads to space problems in the counter.
  • the position of the energy store is tied to the position of its support arm in the counter, which limits the freedom to set up a counter.
  • the device For counters that do not have a fixed number plate but a curved disc (DE-90 04 215-U), the device must be modified.
  • the energy stores are namely arranged in the interior of hollow supports which protrude at an incline and which are fixed at their lower ends to the counter body.
  • the bearing part for the joint part carrying the disc is located at the free, upper end of the support.
  • the disadvantage is that the arrangement of the energy store and the articulated part is always tied to the support.
  • the installation of the device inside the column is cumbersome.
  • the installation of these parts requires a large dimensioning of the support.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a space-saving, versatile device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, which is easy to assemble and easy to maintain. This is achieved according to the invention by the measures mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1, which have the following special significance.
  • the invention is based on a new construction principle.
  • the direction of force of the energy accumulator is no longer parallel to the swivel plane of the disk, but intersects this swivel plane. This makes it possible, in contrast to the prior art, to have the longitudinal extent of the energy accumulator run more or less transversely to the swivel plane of the disk and thereby to minimize the dimensioning of the device transversely to the swivel axis. So you can see, seen in the lowered position of the disc, the direction of force of the memory approximately parallel to the pivot axis.
  • the device according to the invention In the swivel plane of the disk, that is to say perpendicular to its swivel axis, the device according to the invention only has a width which is determined by the size of the joint part, since the width of the energy accumulator itself is normally substantially smaller than the joint part.
  • the overall length of the energy accumulator is added to the size of the joint part in the swivel plane.
  • the overall length of the device according to the invention lying essentially in the direction of the pivot axis does not interfere, because when the device is installed in a body there is always sufficient space in the direction of the pivot axis. If the device z. B. installed in a counter, the aforementioned payment plate runs in the direction of the pivot axis.
  • the width of the payment plate can be designed independently and z. B. can be very narrow.
  • the space gained in the adjacent plate zone can be used to arrange additional elements, e.g. B. of light guide panels, in which light sources for lighting the interior of the counter are mounted.
  • the device serves to transfer a disk 10 between its lowered position, drawn in solid lines in FIGS. 1 and 9, into its lifting position 10 ′, indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 9.
  • These include the basic components shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, which comprise a joint part 20.
  • the joint part 20 has a receiving groove 21 which tapers in the shape of a wedge toward the slot opening, as shown in FIG. 9, in addition to the upper disk edge 11 and also receives a retaining strip 12 with a wedge cross section.
  • the angle of inclination 13 of the disc 10 in the lowered position can already be brought about by exchanging the arrangement sequence from the disc edge 11 on the one hand and with the retaining strip 12 on the other hand within the receiving groove 21 of the joint part 20.
  • An additional variation of the angle of inclination 13 results if more than one holding strip 12 is used and the order of the arrangement of these holding strips with the pane edge 11 is chosen differently.
  • two joint parts 30 are assigned to the joint part 20, which have bores 31 for two bearing bolts 32.
  • the joint part 20 also has a continuous bore 22, which receives one end piece of the two bolts 32 and therefore, together with the bearing parts 30, determines the pivot axis 23 indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 3.
  • the joint part consists of a profile section with a rectangular outline, on the opposite rectangular sides 24 of which the two bearing parts 30 come to rest with the two aligned bearing bolts 32.
  • the energy accumulator 40 serves as a lifting aid for lifting the disk 10 in the sense of the pivot arrow 14 indicated in FIG. 9, which in the present case is designed as a so-called "gas pressure spring".
  • the pivot arrow 14 of the disc between its lowered position 10 and its lifting position 10 ' determines a pivot plane 15, which is the plane of the drawing in FIG. 9 and the position of which is indicated by dash-dotted lines in the perspective representation of FIG. 1 and in FIG. 5.
  • This pivot plane 15 runs vertically, that is to say perpendicular to the horizontal pivot axis 23, as can be seen from both FIG. 1 and FIG. 5.
  • the energy accumulator 40 also serves to dampen the movement of the disk from its lifting position 10 'into its lowering position 10 when the disk is pivoted back, in the sense of the pivot arrow 14' also shown in FIG. 9.
  • the energy accumulator 40 has two connection ends 41, 42, which are mutually force-loaded. According to the force arrow 43 of FIG. 2, one connection end 41 strives to move away from the other connection end 42. This extension movement 43 of the connection ends 41, 42 is limited by internal stops in the energy accumulator 40.
  • the force arrow 43 thus determines the direction of force 44 of the gas pressure spring 40, which is also indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 2, and thus its longitudinal extent.
  • the overall width 45 of the energy accumulator 40 is small, as shown in FIG. 4, and takes up little space parallel to the swivel plane 15.
  • the force action direction 44 of the energy accumulator 40 extends transversely to the pivot plane 15.
  • the energy accumulator 40 In the lowered position of the disc shown in solid lines, the energy accumulator 40 extends essentially parallel to the pivot axis 23.
  • the dash-dotted position 40 'of the 4 and 5 shows, in the lifting position 10 'of FIG. 9 the direction of action of force, evidently 44', is inclined to the pivot axis 23.
  • the two positions 40 and 40 'of the energy store are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the force direction 44, 44' describes a portion of a cone jacket, the cone tip of a fixed position of the a, mentioned connection end 42 of the energy accumulator 40 is determined.
  • a support part 50 which is fixedly positioned in the device of the invention. Because in the present case two force stores arranged in mirror image relative to one another are used on a common joint part 20, two such support parts 50 are required, which are shown in FIG. 3 in their aforementioned inclination position 40 ' are.
  • a mounting base 60 which can best be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, is used for mounting the above-mentioned components 20, 30, 40 and 50, which in this case, apart from integrally formed guides 61, 62, is designed as an essentially flat plate.
  • the guides 61, 62 are formed in one piece as longitudinal rails with a profile rod, from which the mounting base shown is then cut to the desired length.
  • the mounting base 60 thus consists of a section of such a profile rod.
  • a guide 61 is used for mounting the two bearing parts 30, which have a channel 33 that is complementary to the rail profile of the guide 61. This allows a sliding adjustment of the bearing parts in the longitudinal direction of the rails.
  • the two bearing parts 30 receive the joint part 20 between them and are fixed in a defined position on the mounting base 60 by screws 34 indicated in FIG. 2.
  • the two support parts 50 also have channels 53 which, according to FIG. 2, are designed to be complementary to the rail profile of the associated second guide 62 from the mounting base 60.
  • the defined longitudinal position of the support parts 50 on their guide 62 is determined by clamping screws 54 which penetrate corresponding threaded holes in the support part 50 until they engage the guide 62.
  • the two energy stores 40 extend between the two support parts 50 on the one hand and the common joint part 20 on the other hand.
  • the support part 50 has an engagement point 52, which can be seen best in FIG. 4, for the fixed, outer connection end 42 of the respective energy store 50.
  • the type of support part 50 can optionally be used for both energy storage devices 40 that are mirror images of one another, the support part 50 has such points of attack 52 on both sides.
  • the articulated part is located in the lowered position 10 of the pane according to FIG. 9 4 to 6 in the drawn-in pivoted position 20 underneath the mounting base 60. If a pivoting movement is carried out in the lifting direction 14 from FIG. 9, the articulated part reaches the pivoted-out position 20 'shown in FIGS. 9 and 4 and 5. in front of the mounting base 60. As has already been mentioned, with this lifting 14 the two energy stores 40 also perform a spatial movement until they assume the inclination position 40 ′, which is shown in dash-dot lines in FIGS. 4 and 5. Therefore, the connection ends 41, 42 and their points of attack 25, 52 are designed as spatially effective rolling joints, in the present case as ball joints. As can best be seen from FIG.
  • the two connection ends 41, 42 are designed as a ball head by the energy accumulator 40, while both the side surfaces 24 of the joint part 20 and the side surfaces of the two support parts 50 are designed as ball sockets 25, 52.
  • the force effects cancel each other out when the two energy accumulators have an essentially equal force load 43.
  • the energy stores 40 are maximally compressed.
  • a force component 46 ' acts in the direction of the pivot plane, which increases with increasing inclination of the force action direction 44, 44' and is illustrated in FIG. 4 by the force component 46 'on the basis of the pivoting position 20' of the joint part.
  • This force component 46 ' counteracts the torque exerted by the weight of the disc on the joint part 20, 20' and increasingly supports the lifting of the disc in the lifting direction 14 of the arrow shown in FIG. 9 or reduces the weight of the disc in the lowering direction 14 'of FIG.
  • the resulting force 43' in the dot-dashed pivoting position 20 'of the joint part, also splits into a component 47' which runs parallel to the pivot axis 23, but which in the present case is countered by the corresponding one Force component of the other energy storage arranged in mirror image is compensated.
  • the position of this other energy accumulator is only indicated in FIG. 4 by its direction of action 44 '.
  • These two force components 47 ′ parallel to the pivot axis do not load the two bearing parts 30, which is why these bearing parts 30 can be designed easily. If a force accumulator 40 is only allowed to act on one side, the opposite bearing part 30 should be designed as a thrust bearing in order to be able to accommodate these parallel force components 47 '.
  • the joint part 20 and its two bearing parts 30 and the two support parts 50 used to assemble the force accumulator 40 together with the mounting base 60 form a preassembled, finished structural unit 70.
  • the structural unit 70 can be fastened to a support or the like, of which the pivotable one Disk 10 should go out.
  • the joint part 20 located in this unit 70 is used as a holder for attaching the pane 10, but with the one or two force accumulators 40 already contains sources of force which facilitate the lifting 14 or lowering 14 'of the pane 10.
  • the assembly 70 is therefore not only a holding means for the disk, but also a "power pack" which has a favorable effect on the pivoting movement 14, 14 '.
  • the swiveled-out position 20 'of the joint part can be limited by rotary stops 35 on the bearing parts 30, as can be seen from the lifting position 10' of the disk indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 9. 6, the support part 50 also has a cantilever 51, which with its free end engages behind a profile bar 63 located on the mounting base.
  • the profile strip 63 is part of the longitudinal guide 61 of the mounting base 60, which is used for mounting the two bearing parts 30.
  • FIG. 7 shows a structural unit 70 ′ which is modified compared to the previous exemplary embodiment, where the same reference numerals as in the previous exemplary embodiment have been used to designate identical components. It is enough to only consider the differences. In all other respects, the previous description applies.
  • the assembly 70 'of FIG. 7 has a different type of mounting base 60'. This is not designed in the form of a plate, but has an angular profile with two legs 64, 65.
  • One leg 64 is used to fasten the structural unit 70 'to a support and to mount the supporting parts 50.
  • the longitudinal rail 61 already mentioned is therefore located there.
  • This fastening leg 64 has a plate shape and at an angle to it the other leg 65 branches off. 7 have the assembled Support parts 50 also the already described brackets 51, which engage behind a profile bar 63. As a result, the torques exerted by the energy stores 40 on the support parts 50 are also better absorbed.
  • the profile bar 63 is part of the bearing leg 65 of the angle profile.
  • the other leg 65 has at its free leg end a continuous, longitudinal bore 66 which is longitudinally slotted for manufacturing reasons, but has to perform the same functions that were performed by the bores 31 of the above-described bearing parts 30 of the unit 70.
  • This mounting base 60 ' is also produced from a section of a profile rod with an angle profile.
  • a cutout 67 is cut out of this leg 65 and the joint part 20 is rotatably supported via bearing bolts 32 which can be seen best in FIG.
  • FIG. 8 a profile rod with the same angular profile as in FIG. 7 is used, but a section with a correspondingly shorter length 68 is cut off from it.
  • the force accumulators provided on both sides of the joint part 20, which are shown in FIG. 7 in their inclined position 40 ', are dispensed with.
  • the shorter mounting base 60 'of FIG. 8 is used for an additional articulation point in the case of particularly long discs.
  • the longitudinal rail 61 for mounting support parts 50 has no function in the case of FIG. 8, in contrast to FIG. 7.
  • the overall width of the finished assembly 70 is determined by the mounting base 60, which has a small width 69.
  • This overall width 69 is essentially dependent on the side length 29 of the joint part 20, from which the bearing part 20 pivotally mounted on the bearing part 30 can protrude in its pivoted-in position only by a small edge piece 28 which can be seen in FIG. 6. It is crucial, however, that the overall width 69 of this unit 70 is no longer determined by the length of the energy accumulator 40, because, according to FIG. 4, the energy accumulator in the parallel position 40 only extends in this direction with its minimum accumulator width 45. In the swivel plane 15, the unit 70 therefore has only a small overall width 69, which depends only on the side length 29 of the joint part. This has a very favorable effect on the space requirement of the structural unit 70 in use.
  • FIG. 9 shows a first application of this unit 70 to a carrier 16 of a counter (not shown in more detail).
  • This carrier 16 is made of wood material or the like and at the same time acts as a "payment plate” of the counter.
  • the assembly 70 is fastened to the underside 17 of this carrier 16 and, because of the narrow overall width 69 described, only takes up a small plate zone 18.

  • the location of the assembly 71 on this support 36 is, however, completely independent of the position of the horizontal arms 77 and the supports 78.
  • the pane 10 is not attached directly to a joint part 75, but indirectly via a continuous holding rail 80.
  • This holding rail 80 encompasses the entire length of the pane edge 11.
  • the holding rail 80 has the corresponding receiving groove 21 ', in which this disk edge 11 is clamped together with a holding strip 12.
  • the joint part 75 has an undercut groove in which a rail head of the holding rail 80 engages and is secured by clamping screws or the like.
  • the holding rail 80 first has the task of covering the entire structural unit 71 in the lowered position 10 of the pane for a front viewer.
  • the joint part 75 has a three-armed cross section, on one arm of which the holding rail 80 is seated, while another arm produces the pivot bearing with the bore 66 of the mounting base 60 '. With the holding rail 80, this second arm creates a recess 81, the meaning of which can be seen from the pivoted-out position 75 'of the joint part shown in dash-dot lines. In this position, the cutout reaches position 81 'and can grip around the aforementioned front bar 79 belonging to the carrier 36.
  • a curved front pane 10 is used on a counter which does not need to have a payment plate or the like.
  • An almost identical unit 71 can also be used here.
  • This assembly 71 is equipped with the matching mounting base 60, which has already been described several times.
  • supports 78 protrude obliquely upwards from the counter body, to the free end of which a particularly narrow extruded profile, which acts as a carrier 86, is fastened.
  • a light guide screen 83 for the attachment of light sources 27 is integrated in the carrier 86.
  • the horizontal arms 77 mentioned in the previous exemplary embodiment can be omitted here.
  • the supports 78 engage on the underside 84 of the carrier 86, to which the light-guiding diaphragm 83 also opens.
  • the special feature of the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 12 is that the upper side 85 of the carrier 86 is used to fasten the structural unit 71.
  • the support parts 50 are therefore now on the front side, while the bearing parts 30 of the structural unit 71 'point to the rear.
  • the joint part 90 here has a Z-shaped cross-sectional profile. In this case too, the disk 10 is indirectly connected to the joint part 90 via a holding rail 88.
  • This holding rail 88 is also connected to the joint part 90 via a complementary engagement profile and encompasses the entire length of the pane edge 11.
  • the holding rail 88 has two profile legs 87, 89 which, in the lowered position 10 of the pane drawn in full in FIG. 12, cover the strip on the upper side 85 of the support which serves to arrange the structural unit 71.
  • the structural unit 71 ' is easily accessible, however, if the disc is moved into its lifting position 10', which is shown in broken lines in FIG. 12.
  • the described guide 61 or guides 61, 62 for the respective bearing parts 30 or support parts 50 could be located directly on the underside 61 or 82 of the extruded profile instead of on the mounting base 60 or 60 ' 56 of Fig. 10 or the profile piece 72 of Fig. 11 may be formed. Accordingly 12, these guides could sit on the upper side 85 of the carrier there. Instead of the preassembly of the components to the described units 70, 71, 71 ', the components in this modified embodiment are mounted directly on the supports 56, 36, 86.
  • the device according to the invention or the components produced with it could, apart from counters, also be mounted on other housings, e.g. B. on cover housings for electrical controls. Tailgates of vehicles could also be equipped with the device according to the invention.
