Aus der Druckschrift EP-A-0 158 273 ist eine Anzeige Kassette bekannt, bei der Sichtbehälter für auswechselbare Informationsträger hinter einem Schwenkbaren Deckel in einem Gehäuse anordenbar sind. From EP-A-0 158 273 there is one Ad known cassette in the case of the bin for interchangeable information carriers behind one Pivoting covers can be arranged in a housing.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Anzeige von Produkt- und/oder Preisinformation vorzuschlagen, die es erlaubt, die jeweiligen Produkt- und/oder Preisinformationen einfach und sicher auszuwechseln.The invention has for its object a device for displaying To propose product and / or price information that allows the respective product and / or price information easily and securely replaced.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß an dem Sichtbehälter eine Schwenkachse durch zumindest ein erstes Befestigungselement definiert ist, das an zumindest einer Seitenfläche des Sichtbehälters vorgesehen ist, daß der Sichtbehälter durch eine Schwenkbewegung um die Schwenkachse des Sichtbehälters aus dem Trägergehäuse herausklappbar ist und daß das Befestigungselement derart ausgebildet ist, daß es die Schwenkbewegung des Sichtbehälters aus dem Trägergehäuse heraus auf einen vorbestimmten Winkelbereich einschränkt. Der Vorteil gegenüber dem bekannten Stand der Technik besteht darin, daß der Sichtbehälter auch zum Wechseln der jeweiligen Einstellung der Preis- und/oder Produktinformation mit dem Trägergehäuse verbunden bleibt. Hierdurch wird vermieden, daß eines der beiden Teilelemente während des Auswechselns verloren geht. Weiterhin sitzt, wie gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsemäßen Vorrichtung vorgesehen, der Sichtbehälter paßgenau im Trägergehäuse. Es ist also keine spaltförmige Öffnung vorhanden, in der sich Schmutz und Staub ansammeln könnten.The object is achieved in that a pivot axis on the viewing container is defined by at least one first fastener attached to at least one side surface of the container is provided that the Viewing container by a pivoting movement around the pivot axis of the Viewing container can be folded out of the carrier housing and that Fastener is designed such that it is the pivoting movement of the Viewing container out of the carrier housing to a predetermined Restricted angular range. The advantage over the known state of the Technology is that the container also for changing the respective setting of the price and / or product information with the Carrier housing remains connected.

    • Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 1 im Gebrauchszustand. Die Vorrichtung 1 besteht aus einem Trägergehäuse 2, in das zwei Sichtbehälter 3 paßgenau integriert sind. Während der obere Sichtbehälter 3 lediglich ein Sichtfach 4 für die Anzeige von Produktinformation 16 aufweist, ist der untere Sichtbehälter in sechs Sichtfächer 4 unterteilt. In den einzelnen Sichtfächern 4 sind Preisinformationsträger angeordnet. Bei diesen handelt es sich vorzugsweise um Leporellos.Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the invention Device 1 in the state of use. The device 1 consists of a Carrier housing 2, in which two viewing containers 3 are integrated with a perfect fit.

In the lower area of the inner Side surfaces of the carrier housing 2 are provided with recesses 9b the knobs / pins 9 a, which are attached to the viewing containers 3 correspond and for the attachment of the viewing container 3 in the Carrier housing 2 Take care. Examples of the design of the knobs / pins 9a and the corresponding recesses 9b are shown in the figures 3, 3a, 3b and 4 will be explained in more detail later.

    Im oberen Bereich der inneren Seitenflächen des Trägergehäuses 2 sind gleichfalls Vertiefungen 10b vorgesehen, die im Gebrauchszustand die Sichtbehälter 3 in dem rahmenförmigen Trägergehäuse 2 arretieren. Das Einrasten der Stifte/Noppen 10a, die gleichfalls an den Seitenflächen 15 des Sichtbehälters 3 angebracht sind, in die Vertiefungen 10b wird durch die Führungsspuren 14 wesentlich erleichtert. Durch die Führungsspuren 14 wird auch erreicht, daß die Sichtbehälter 3 ohne große Kraftaufwendung aus dem Trägergehäuse 2 um die Schwenkachsen 8 herausgeklappt werden können. Der mittig im Bereich der Oberkante der Vorderseite 6 des Sichtbehälters 3 angebrachte Griffteil 11 ermöglicht es, den Sichtbehälter 3 aus dem Trägergehäuse 2 selbst dann problemlos herauszuklappen, wenn der Sichtbehälter 3 paßgenau in dem rahmenförmigen Trägergehäuse 2 positioniert ist. Die paßgenaue Positionierung des Sichtbehälters 3 in dem Trägergehäuse 2 verhindert die Bildung einer spaltförmigen Öffnung zwischen den beiden Teilen 2, 3 und damit die Ansammlung von Schmutz und Staub in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 1.In the upper area of the inner side surfaces of the carrier housing 2 are likewise depressions 10b are provided, which in use the Lock the viewing container 3 in the frame-shaped carrier housing 2. The Snap the pins / nubs 10a, which also on the side surfaces 15 of the Viewing container 3 are attached, in the recesses 10b through the Guide tracks 14 much easier. Through the guide tracks 14 also achieved that the viewing container 3 without much effort from the Carrier housing 2 can be folded out about the pivot axes 8. The one in the middle in the area of the upper edge of the front side 6 of the viewing container 3 attached handle part 11 allows the container 3 from the Fold out carrier housing 2 even if the Viewing container 3 fits snugly in the frame-shaped carrier housing 2 is positioned. The precise positioning of the container 3 in the Carrier housing 2 prevents the formation of a gap-shaped opening between the two parts 2, 3 and thus the accumulation of dirt and dust in the device 1 according to the invention.

    Der Sichtbehälter 3 für die Aufnahme der Preis- und/oder Produktinformationen 16 besteht -wie bereits erwähnt- aus einem Spritzgußteil. Insbesondere ist zumindest die Vorderwand 6 des Sichtbehälters 3 transparent ausgestaltet, so daß die enthaltenen Preis- und/oder Produktinformationen 16 gut nach außen sichtbar sind. An der Rückseite 7 der Vorderwand 6 sind Leisten 5 derart angebracht, daß einzelne Sichtfächer 4 gebildet werden. Im gezeigten Fall werden die Preis- und/oder Produktinformationen 16 von oben in die Sichtfächer 4 eingefügt.The viewing container 3 for receiving the price and / or product information 16 consists - as already mentioned - of an injection molded part. In particular is at least the front wall 6 of the container 3 is made transparent, so that the price and / or product information contained 16 well to the outside are visible. On the back 7 of the front wall 6, strips 5 are such attached that individual compartments 4 are formed. In the case shown the price and / or product information 16 from above into the View compartments 4 inserted.

    Fig. 3 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 1, wenn die Sichtbehälter 3 aus dem Trägergehäuse 2 herausgeklappt sind.

In this position it is for the operator easily possible, the price and / or product information 16 replaced.

    In den Figuren Fig. 3a und Fig. 3b sind zwei unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungen des Mechanismus' für die Befestigung der Sichtbehälter 3 in dem Trägergehäuse 2 in perspektivischer Ansicht dargestellt. Beide Ausgestaltungen stellen sicher, daß die Schwenkbewegungen des Sichtbehälters 3 aus dem Trägergehäuse 2 heraus auf einen vorgegebenen Winkelbereich beschränkt sind. Dem Grunde nach kann die Verbindung zwischen dem Trägergehäuse 2 und dem Sichtbehälter 3 derart ausgebildet sein, daß beide Teile 2, 3 nicht voneinander gelöst werden können.3a and 3b show two different configurations of the mechanism for the attachment of the viewing container 3 in the carrier housing 2 shown in perspective view. Make both configurations sure that the pivoting movements of the container 3 from the Carrier housing 2 limited to a predetermined angular range are. Basically, the connection between the carrier housing 2 and the viewing container 3 be designed such that both parts 2, 3 are not can be separated from each other.

    Die Noppen 9a, die im unteren Bereich der Seitenflächen des Sichtbehälters 3 angebracht sind, greifen in entsprechende Vertiefungen 9b an den Seitenflächen des Trägergehäuses 2 ein. Noppen 9a und Vertiefungen 9b sind so dimensioniert, daß der Sichtbehälter 3 reibungslos um die Schwenkachse 8 aus dem Trägergehäuse 2 heraus bzw. in das Trägergehäuse 2 hinein geklappt werden kann. Um die Schwenkbewegung auf einen vorgegebenen Winkelbe-reich zu beschränken ist seitlich oberhalb des Noppens 9a ein weiterer kleinerer Noppen/Stift 13 vorgesehen. Dieser Noppen/Stift 13 wird während der Klappbewegung in der Führungsrille 14 geführt, bis er gegen das hintere Ende der Führungsrille 14 anschlägt. Der Winkelbereich der Klappbewegung wird folglich durch die Länge der entsprechenden bogenförmigen Führungsrille 14 festgelegt.The knobs 9 a, which in the lower region of the side surfaces of the viewing container 3 are attached, engage in corresponding recesses 9b on the side surfaces the carrier housing 2 a. Nubs 9a and depressions 9b are like this dimensioned that the viewing container 3 smoothly about the pivot axis 8th out of the carrier housing 2 or into the carrier housing 2 can be folded. To make the swivel movement to a predetermined one Restricting the angular range is laterally above the knob 9a further smaller knobs / pin 13 are provided. This knob / pin 13 will during the folding movement in the guide groove 14 until he against the rear end of the guide groove 14 abuts. The angular range of the Folding motion is therefore determined by the length of the corresponding arcuate guide groove 14 set.

    Das in Fig. 3b gezeigte Befestigungselements 9a, 9b besteht ebenfalls aus einem Noppen 9a, der an der unteren Seitenfläche des Sichtbehälters 3 angebracht ist, und einer korrespondierenden Vertiefung 9b in der Seitenfläche des Trägergehäuses 2. Der Noppen 9a und die Vertiefung 9b sind als Teilkreise ausgebildet, wobei der Teilkreis der Vertiefung 9b größer ist als der Teilkreis des Noppens 9a. Durch die Winkeldifferenz zwischen den Teilkreisen von Noppen 9a und Vertiefung 9b ist der maximale Ausschwenkwinkel des Sichtbehälters 3 relativ zu dem Trägergehäuse 2 bestimmt.The fastening element 9a, 9b shown in FIG. 3b also consists of a knob 9 a, which on the lower side surface of the container 3 is attached, and a corresponding recess 9b in the side surface of the carrier housing 2. The knobs 9a and the recess 9b are as Pitch circles formed, the pitch circle of the recess 9b being larger than that Pitch circle of the knob 9a. By the angular difference between the part circles of knobs 9a and recess 9b is the maximum swivel angle of Viewing container 3 determined relative to the carrier housing 2.

    Fig. 4 zeigt die perspektivische Ansicht einer dritten Ausführungsform des Befestigungselements zwischen Sichtbehälter 3 und Trägergehäuse 2, die insbesondere dann zur Anwendung kommt, wenn es sich um großformatige Sichtbehälter 3 und entsprechende Trägergehäuse 2 handelt. Die Schwenkbewegung des Sichtbehälters 3 erfolgt wiederum um die Schwenkachse 8, die durch eine beliebig ausgestaltete Kombination von Noppen 9a und Vertiefung 9b definiert ist.
