Abstract

A sales presentation of plastic bottles rests on a shelf surface which is inclined towards the customer. The plastic bottle bases have low contact with the shelf surface and a relatively high center of gravity. When the foremost bottle is removed, the remaining queue of bottles slides forward, filling the resulting gap. The two rearmost bottles stand on a sledge (L) base, whose lower surface either has a low coefficient of friction, or rollers. The sledge leading edge has an upright frame (B) for the inclined bottles. The sledge and load exerts a force from the rear on the queue of bottles at the front, maintaining the front bottles in an upright position.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Laufwagen für eine Warenreihe in einer Rutschauslage.The invention relates to a carriage for a series of goods in a sliding display.

Aus der DE 299 00 372.8 U ist ein Kühlregal mit einer Rutschauslage bekannt. Solche Verkaufsmöbel finden vor allem zum Präsentieren von Getränken in Form von Dosen oder Flaschen Verwendung. Die Auslagen, genauer gesagt die Böden der Auslagen, sind dabei leicht schräg angeordnet, und weisen normalerweise Fachteiler auf, die eine Art Kanäle für die Warenreihen bilden. Die Waren rutschen von hinten nach vorne nach, wenn der Kunde die vorderste Ware herausnimmt. Diese Präsentationsmöbel bieten also automatisch die Ware immer vorne - direkt vor dem Kunden - an, auch wenn schon ein großer Teil der Waren entnommen wurde. Der Kunde muß nicht nach hinten ins Regal langen, sondern kann die Waren vorne ergreifen.From DE 299 00 372.8 U a cooling shelf with a slide display is known. Such Sales furniture is mainly used to present drinks in the form of cans or bottles use. The displays, more precisely the floors of the displays, are arranged slightly obliquely, and usually have compartment dividers, the one Form kind of channels for the product series. The goods slide from the back to the front when the customer removes the foremost goods. This presentation furniture automatically offer the goods in front - directly in front of the customer - also when a large part of the goods have already been removed. The customer doesn't have to reach the back of the shelf, but can grab the goods in front.

Ein Problem bei diesen Rutschauslagen ist, insbesondere bei der Verwendung relativ neuer PET-Flaschen, daß diese durch ihre schlanke Bauform relativ kopflastig sind und leicht umkippen können. Die Kippneigung wird dadurch verstärkt, daß diese Flaschen einen Fünfnoppenboden haben, der relativ weit nach innen gezogen ist, so daß die Aufstandsfläche relativ klein ist. Die ist insbesondere der Fall bei neuen 0,5 Liter-Limonadeflaschen. Das seitliche Umkippen kann relativ einfach durch etwas höhere seitliche Fachteiler verhindert werden, die zum Beispiel 90 mm hoch sind. Gegen das Umfallen nach vorne sind solche Einbauten allerdings nicht geeignet, da sie ja das Nachrutschen verhindern würden. Sie verhindern also nicht das Umfallen nach vorne.A problem with these slide displays is relative, especially when used new PET bottles that these are relatively top-heavy due to their slim design and can easily tip over. The tendency to tip is increased by the fact that these bottles have a five-knobbed floor that is pulled relatively far inwards so that the Footprint is relatively small. This is particularly the case with new 0.5 liter lemonade bottles. Lateral tipping can be done relatively easily by slightly higher lateral compartment dividers that are 90 mm high, for example, can be prevented. Against that Such installations are not suitable for falling over towards the front, since they are Would prevent slipping. So they don't prevent you from falling forward.

Aus der US-A-5,505315 ist ein Schlitten bekannt, der mit Waren befüllt werden kann und auf die in einer Rutschauslage vor ihm stehenden Waren eine Schubkraft ausüben kann. Der Schlitten hat keine Räder oder Rollen, sondern liegt großflächig auf, so dass bei nicht ganz sauberen Rutschauslagen die Haftreibung so groß sein kann, dass ein Vorwärtsrutschen verhindert wird.From US-A-5.505315 a sled is known which can be filled with goods and exert a pushing force on the goods in front of him can. The sled has no wheels or rollers, but lies on a large surface, so that if the sliding windows are not completely clean, the static friction can be so great that a Slipping forward is prevented.

Aus der GB-A-2 288 596 ist ein Laufwagen mit Kugeln bekannt, der allerdings keinen Frontbügel aufweist, so dass er für das Befüllen mit Flaschen weniger geeignet ist. A carriage with balls is known from GB-A-2 288 596, but none Front bracket has, so that it is less suitable for filling with bottles.

Aus der EP-A-878152 ist ein Laufwagen mit Rädern und Frontbügel bekannt, der den Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bildet. Dieser Laufwagen hat nur die Rollreibung zu überwinden und kann auch mit Flaschen befüllt werden. Nachteilig ist allerdings, dass die auf dem Laufwagen befindlichen Waren relativ hoch herausragen, wodurch ein größerer vertikaler Abstand der Regale erzwungen wird.From EP-A-878152 a carriage with wheels and front bracket is known, which the Preamble of claim 1 forms. This carriage only has rolling friction overcome and can also be filled with bottles. The disadvantage, however, is that the goods on the carriage protrude relatively high, causing a greater vertical distance between the shelves is enforced.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen solchen Laufwagen dahingehend zu verbessern, dass unter Beibehalt der Räder und Rollen auch die auf dem Laufwagen stehenden Waren nicht wesentlich höher stehen, bzw. eine möglichst geringe Höhe aufweisen.The object of the invention is to improve such a carriage in that that while the wheels and castors are still on the carriage Goods were not much higher, or the lowest possible Have height.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst von einem Laufwagen mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Ausführungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstände von Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved according to the invention by a carriage with the features of claim 1. Embodiments of the invention are the subject of Dependent claims.

Der Laufwagen ist so aufgebaut, daß er eine, zwei oder mehrere der zu verkaufenden Waren aufnehmen kann. Auf diese Weise kann der Laufwagen sehr leicht und billig aufgebaut sein, da das für die Erzeugung der Schubkraft nötige Gewicht von den aufgenommenen Waren selbst erzeugt wird.The carriage is constructed so that it has one, two or more of the ones to be sold Can accommodate goods. This way the carriage can be very light and cheap be built up because the weight required to generate the thrust of the recorded goods is generated itself.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform stehen die aufzunehmenden Waren hintereinander, das heißt in Rutschrichtung auf dem Laufwagen. Durch die Aufnahme von zwei oder mehr Waren hintereinander rutscht der Schwerpunkt des beladenen Laufwagens relativ weit nach hinten, wodurch ein Umkippen des Laufwagens selbst verhindert wird. Die Ware, an die der Laufwagen von hinten anstößt, wird so gleichmäßig nach vorne gedrückt und schiebt die Reihe ausreichend kräftig nach vorne, so daß ein Umfallen der vordersten Ware verhindert wird.In a preferred embodiment, the goods to be picked up one behind the other, i.e. in the direction of sliding on the carriage. By recording the center of gravity of the loaded one of two or more goods slips Carriage relatively far back, causing the carriage itself to tip over is prevented. The goods that the carriage hits from behind become like this evenly pushed forward and pushes the row sufficiently strong in front, so that the foremost goods are prevented from falling over.

Der Laufwagen ist erfindungsgemäß mit Rädern oder Rollen versehen, so dass eine besonders geringe Reibung des beladenen Laufwagens vorliegt. Gerade bei der Verwendung von Rädern oder Rollen ist die Reibung ja extrem vermindert, wodurch die Schubkraft auf die davor stehenden Waren wesentlich erhöht wird.The carriage is provided with wheels or rollers according to the invention, so that a there is particularly low friction of the loaded carriage. Especially with the The use of wheels or casters means that the friction is extremely reduced the thrust on the goods in front of it is significantly increased.

Der Laufwagen ist durch einen Rahmen mit einer flachen Aufstandsfläche für die Aufnahme der Waren und durch einen frontseitigen hochgezogenen Bügel zum Abstützen der vorderen aufgenommenen Ware gekennzeichnet. Dabei stehen die Waren nur einen geringen Betrag höher, zum Beispiel 3 -4 mm, was dem Kunden kaum auffällt. Die auf dem Laufwagen stehenden Waren integrieren sich so in die Warenreihe vor dem Laufwagen.The carriage is supported by a frame with a flat footprint Picking up the goods and using a front hoop to Supporting the front picked up goods marked. Here are the Were only a small amount higher, for example 3 -4 mm, which the customer hardly noticeable. The goods standing on the carriage are integrated into the Line of goods in front of the carriage.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels anhand zweier Zeichnungen. Es zeigen:

an embodiment of a carriage according to the invention; and
Fig. 2
two views of the carriage according to the invention in a slide display.

Figur 1 zeigt oben den Laufwagen L in Seitenansicht, im wesentlichen bestehend aus einem flachen Rahmen mit einer niedrigen Aufstandsfläche F, einem frontseitig aufragenden Bügel B und hier zwei Rollen. Eine Rolle ist vorne angeordnet die andere hinten. Der Laufwagen L eignet sich hier dafür, zwei 0,5 Liter PET-Flaschen aufzunehmen. Seine Breite beträgt in dieser Ausführung ca. 68 mm, seine Länge 154 mm, sein Bügel ist 96 mm hoch.Figure 1 shows the top of the carriage L in side view, consisting essentially of a flat frame with a low contact area F, one on the front tower B and here two roles. One roll is placed in front of the other rear. The L carriage is suitable for this, two 0.5 liter PET bottles take. In this version, its width is approx. 68 mm and its length 154 mm, its temple is 96 mm high.

Figur 1 zeigt unten eine Frontansicht des erfindungsgemäßen Laufwagens L mit dem Bügel B, der Aufstandsfläche F und einer Rolle, die beidseitig vom eigentlichen Rahmen des Laufwagens L gehalten wird.Figure 1 shows a front view of the carriage L according to the invention with the Bracket B, the footprint F and a role on both sides of the actual Frame of the carriage L is held.

Figur 2 zeigt oben einen erfindungsgemäßen Laufwagen L in der Rutschauslage R. Die Rutschauslage R ist hier mit den Waren W belegt. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind es acht Limonadeflaschen, von denen die beiden hintersten auf dem Laufwagen L stehen. Da der Laufwagen L relativ flach gebaut ist, ragen diese Flaschen nur wenige Millimeter über die davor stehenden Flaschen heraus. Der Laufwagen L verhindert zuverlässig ein Umkippen der Warenreihe, wenn ein Kunde die vorderste Ware (Flasche) herauszieht. Die vom Laufwagen L erzeugte Schubkraft schiebt dann die restlichen Flaschen nach vorne, ohne daß diese umkippen.Figure 2 shows above a carriage L according to the invention in the slide delivery R. Die Sliding display R is covered with goods W. In this embodiment there are eight lemonade bottles, of which the two rearmost on the carriage L stand. Since the carriage L is relatively flat, these bottles protrude only a few Millimeters out of the bottles in front of it. The carriage L prevents reliably tipping over the product line if a customer is the foremost product (Bottle) pulls out. The thrust generated by the carriage L then pushes the remaining bottles to the front without tipping over.

Figur 2 zeigt unten einen Blick aus der Richtung A, nämlich von hinten auf vier Warenreihen, wobei jede der Warenreihen auf der Rutschauslage R mit jeweils einem Laufwagen hinten versehen ist. Zu erkennen sind in Figur 2 auch die seitlichen Fachteiler, die ein Verkippen der Waren zur Seite verhindern.Figure 2 shows a view from the direction A below, namely from behind to four Rows of goods, each of the rows of goods on the slide display R with one each Carriage is provided at the rear. The lateral ones can also be seen in FIG Compartment dividers that prevent the goods from tipping to the side.
