Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for recovering confectionery items, such as candy, and other products sold in bulk, such as dried fruit, cookies, etc., from a display unit. example, in retail businesses.
  • the candy displays are particularly used in supermarkets where consumers can choose the candies and serve themselves directly without the help of a sales woman.
  • consumers have become accustomed to buying sweets in bulk, which has led small and large retailers to provide displays with several distribution bins arranged in batteries and containing respectively sweets of different kinds but of identical price.
  • the candies from a given bin are collected in a common sachet or a common container.
  • the consumer orders the opening of the bin exit door and, to extract the candies from the bin, uses a rake, for example in the form of ladle, or any other suitable means and use it to drop candy in a sachet which it presents in front of the open exit door.
  • the consumer In practice, as the sweets are all at the same price, the consumer generally uses them in several trays successively. Then, he weighs his sachet while passing in front of an electronic balance which affixes, at the same time, on the sachet a label indicating the price to pay.
  • each tank has a vertical upper part and an oblique lower part, descending inclined towards the rear of the box.
  • a chute is provided which descends slightly inclined towards the front, the outlet opening of which is closed by a valve which the consumer can open, and which allows the passage of the candies which are poured into a sachet which introduces the consumer.
  • the outlet openings are arranged, for example, along a vertical line.
  • the upper part of the front wall has, above the chute, an opening allowing the consumer to handle a rake and to draw candies from the chute.
  • An object of the invention is to provide, at the bottom of the display case, a candy recovery drawer, the inlet opening of which is placed so as to prevent the dispersion of the dropped candies on the ground and to ensure recovery in satisfactory hygienic conditions.
  • a drawer for recovering the candies leaving from troughs of the bins which is surmounted by an oblique plank descending towards the rear of the box whose front edge is offset forward with respect to the outlet openings of the troughs by a sufficient distance so that most of the candy which escapes from the troughs is received on said board, then returned backwards to fall into the drawer and the edge of which back is practically located above the inside of the drawer.
  • an oblique shelf descending towards the front of the box the front edge of which is situated slightly below the rear edge of said board so as to constitute with it here is a chicane which allows a candy to pass between the shelf and the board but which prevents the passage of a hand.
  • the bottom of the drawer is oblique descending towards the rear.
  • the drawer is lockable.
  • the drawer has a notch which can receive the bottom of a locking bar.
  • the display comprises a vertical bottom 1 to which are fixed by hooking the distribution trays 2.
  • the trays 2 are hung so as to form three neighboring vertical columns.
  • Side walls 3 are mounted on the bottom 1 and frame the columns of tanks 2.
  • a drawer 4 is housed between the side walls 3.
  • each tank 2 has a front wall formed by a vertical front part 5 surmounting an oblique front part 6 which descends towards the rear.
  • an oblique chute 7 is installed which projects projecting forward and which is closed, at the front, by a valve 8 which can be opened on demand.
  • the normal operation of the display trays is as follows: the consumer, having brought candies into the chute 7, presents a bag in front of the valve 8 and, by opening the valve 8 and drops the candies in the bag. As mentioned above, this normal operation is not always respected, possibly out of clumsiness, so that scattered candies escape the sachet and fall.
  • the drawer 4 is constituted by a front wall 10, a rear wall 11, two side walls 12 respectively adjacent to the side walls 3 of the display, and a bottom 13. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the bottom 13 is preferably oblique descending towards the rear.
  • the side walls 12 are rectangular and have the same height as the rear wall 11.
  • the front wall 10 is higher.
  • the shelf 15 is oblique descending towards the front.
  • a board 17 Opposite, further forward than the shelf 15, is provided a board 17, also mounted between the two side walls 3, which has an oblique orientation descending towards the rear, with a rear edge 18 which is located above the edge 16.
  • the shelf 15 and the board 17 constitute a baffle, the scattered candies falling from the troughs 7 being returned by the board 17 to the shelf 15 and passing between the edges 18 and 16 to be collected in the drawer 4 on the bottom 13.
  • the distance between the edges 18 and 16 is just sufficient for the passage of a candy, but too small for a hand to be able to slide there in order to grasp the candies collected in the drawer 4. Thus the fallen candies are therefore protected against the flight.
  • Fig. 3 shows how the drawer 4 pulled forward makes it possible to recover the candies. Obviously, locking means are provided to prevent any unauthorized person from removing the drawer 4.
  • These locking means are preferably constituted by lateral vertical bars, such as 19 in FIG. 3, the lower end 20 of which, in the locked position, is housed in a notch 21 provided on the upper edge of the wall 12.
  • these bars 19 also serve as locking means which prevent, as in the aforementioned patent application no. 93 03106, from sliding the covers of the side trays 2.
  • Unlocking means for these bars are provided which allow unlocking lids of the trays to fill the latter and the unlocking of the drawer 4 to recover the fallen candies.
