Definitions
- This invention is concerned with a distributor of boxed products such as packets of cigarettes, boxes of sweetmeat, and similar block-shaped products, for installation at tobacconists and other sales points, preferably in association with the sales counter.
- Tobacconists have stored packets of cigarettes for sales as stacks placed on shelves located behind the sales counter. Due to the small size of the packets of cigarettes and to the large number of brands and kinds found on the market, the front space required for accommodating all the products is very large, although the depth taken is small.
- a cigarette dispenser of the free standing variety is described in EP 0 695 528.
- boxed products such as packets of cigarettes, boxes of sweetmeat, and similar block-shaped products
- tubular uprights 10, 12 are vertically attached to a sales counter 14 of a tobacconist, by means of attachment flanges and counterflanges 16, 18 and of bolts such as 20, 22.
- Respective rods 24, 26 are received in the tubular uprights, which can be blocked at a desired height by screws (not shown) engaged in holes such 28, 30.
- Rods 24, 26 are braced with crosspieces 32 to build a stiff frame.
- Each of crosspieces 32 carries a respective channel 34, as shown to an enlarged scale in the detail view of Fig. 2, which shows a crosspiece 32 in transverse cross-section.
- Channel 34 of a section commonly known as "hat" has two skirts 35, 37, defining, together with crosspiece 32, upward and downward slots, respectively.
- a magazine 36 for packets of cigarettes which is part of the distributor of the invention, comprises a main metal sheet bent in a C-shape to define two side walls 40, 42, which are joined by a transverse back wall 44, with end ledges 46. Further, a plurality of welded, transverse partitions such as 48, which extend between both side walls 40, 42, and are parallel to back wall 44, define a plurality of shafts or chutes 50, 52, 54, 56, which are adapted to contain respective stacks of superimposed packets of cigarettes, as shown with 58.
- Side sheets 40, 42 are preferably lightened by windows 60. Moreover, they are staggered at their bottom end, so that the bottom ends of shafts 50, 52, 54, 56 are also staggered, and are further provided with respective horizontal plates 62, 64, 66, 68, which partially shut the bottom end of the respective magazine, whereby they retain the stacked packets while allowing them to be trasnversely withdrawn, one by one.
- the height of a magazine is designed so that each shaft can accommodate the equivalent of an entire carton of packets of cigarettes.
- Hooks 70, 72 are welded to back wall 44. Hooks 70, 72 comprise bent metal plates, which can be inserted in the slots defined by skirts 35. As it can be seen on Fig. 1, a number of magazines are hung side by side, up to the entire width of the crosspieces, building up a loading capacity (depending on the frame width) of several tens or even of a hundred different brands and types of cigarettes.
- the salesperson at the counter can quickly pick the requested packet without having to move or turn. Whenever one of the shafts is empty, it can be easily reloaded by dropping from above one or more stacks of packets taken out of a carton, either by momentarily unhooking the magazine, or by climbing on a stool or small ladder.
- the packets of cigarettes ar substantially standardized to a few different sizes, depending on the number and length of the cigarettes.
- the magazines may be provided in only a few models, which are substantially identical in structure, but having different widths and depths of the shafts, possibly with reduction of the shafts from four to three in the case of the deeper shafts.
- the mode of hanging allows the different models to be hung freely, independently of their widths.
- Fig. 5 shows how the distributor of the invention may be installed hanging above the counter and without any connections to it, where it is desired to keep the entire surface of the counter free.
- the frame is substantially the same as shown on Fig. 1, but is capsized and attached to the ceiling (rather than to the counter) by means of tasselli 80. In this case, the magazines will be hung onto skirts 37 of crosspieces 32 rather than onto skirts 35.
