Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the area of exposure of commodities in shop sections consisting of vertically piled containers containing the commodities.
  • the invention relates to shop sections consisting of a row of vertically piled containers for self-service and especially for self-service of confectionery and other sweets.
  • Confectionery and other sweets for self-service are usually exposed in shops by being visibly well placed in transparent containers, each kind in this way being exposed in an own container.
  • the containers are piled on each other in a rack, which enables that each container may be lifted out from the rack when refilling should be effected.
  • the number may amount to 200 containers or more in a shop.
  • For refilling it is required that each container separately is lifted out from the rack and is refilled, and then the container is put back on the location thereof. It is easy to realize the problems that reside in the work and the time-consumption associated thereby, being required for the refilling of the containers.
  • the personnel that performs the refilling fetches packs with the respective sort of sweets from a stockroom somewhere in connection with the shop, and then transports the packs to the self-service place and, according to the above, carries out the refilling there.
  • figure 5 in the patent specification GB 2322794 is seen how individual containers for sweets are piled in order to expose different types of sweets for customers.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a shop module that may be handled considerably simpler at refilling of separate containers in a shop section.
  • An additional object is to shorten the time-consumption that is required in order to refill a container of the above-mentioned type.
  • the object is to eliminate the heavy lifts and difficult working positions that previously occurred when the personnel that should refill the containers which, after these having been filled again, would be put back on the location thereof in the section.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an intermediate storage for refilling packs for quick refilling of one or more containers.
  • a shop section is built up by separate shop modules, which are made having a width of 30 cm and joined to a shop section of optional size.
  • Each shop module is formed in order to, in the latitudinal direction, contain a container having an entire width or two containers having a half width. In the vertical direction in the module, three or four containers are piled.
  • each shop module is provided with some form of motion devices enabling that the module with the three or four containers thereof may be drawn out, irrespective of all other shop modules.
  • the motion devices are formed as slide bars, which are carried in bearings for a smooth and simple operation. Alternatively, the motion devices are formed with rolls or wheels that support against the floor surface or against a platform elevated from the floor surface.
  • the motion devices are placed either under the module, at the sides thereof or at the upper end thereof. Also a combination of these locations is feasible within the scope of the invention.
  • the possibility to pull out contributes to the fact that a refilling from behind of the separate containers can be made in a smooth way.
  • the module is provided with an inclined storage plane for each container, the storage plane enabling an intermediate storage space for refilling packs.
  • the invention is also applicable to other types of bulk commodities which are suitable to constitute self-service commodities in shop premises.
  • the bulk commodities may be placed either in transparent containers or covered containers with an exposure module connected to the container.
  • a suitable embodiment of the shop module consists of the same being formed to be pulled out across an elevated platform and that the foundation of the module is formed with a support member that can be folded out automatically. The support member is folded out when the module is pulled out and is folded in when the module is pushed in again.
  • Figure 1 shows a shop section 1 built up by separate shop modules 2 mounted side by side along a wall in shop premises. Further, the figure shows a shop module 3 pulled-out from the shop section. At the pulled-out shop module 3, a person 4 is about to refill containers 5 positioned in the shop module. In doing so, the person 4 opens a refilling pack 6 in order to then pour down new commodities in an angled-out refilling container, not shown, and then the commodities fall down into the respective container, and then the refilling container again is angled back to the normal position thereof. After this refilling operation has been made, the pulled-out shop module is displaced again into the normal position thereof in the shop section. Further, as is seen in the figure, the shop section is provided with a bottom part 7. Further, the bottom part is provided with motion devices 8 in the form of slide bars, which on one hand are connected to the bottom part 7 and on the other hand to a member 9 fixed to the floor. against this member 9 fixed to the floor, the adjacent shop module is also connected.
  • an inclined plane 10 in the rear edge of the container 5 is connected to each container 5.
  • This inclined plane 10 is intended to contain one or more refilling containers 6 in order to constitute an intermediate storage station in the module.
  • each container 5 shown in the figure are made with an exposure front 11 as well as a pick part 12.
  • the pick part 12 is provided with a lid 13 foldable upwards, which is opened by the customer for picking of the commodities.
  • each container is divided into two separate containers 16, 17.
  • the width of each shop module amounts to approx. 30 cm, which width either may be made up of one container of approx. 30 cm or be made up of two containers that consequently have a width of approx. 15 cm each.
  • embodiments with containers of other width combinations may also be feasible, such as 20/10 cm or 25/5 cm.
  • this shop module gives means for a consultant to refill the respective container sometimes from one of the sides in pulled-out position and sometimes from the other side in pulled-out position.
  • each shop section is limited by a side member 15 that covers the entire side of the shop section 1 from exposure.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a frame 20, which has been emptied of all the containers thereof.
  • the frame 20 is built up by one or more rear vertical frame members 21.
  • the frame members extend from a foundation 22 up to horizontal frame members 23 in the upper end of the module.
  • the frame 20 is arranged with front frame sides 24 extending from the foundation 22 up to the horizontal frame members 23.
  • a side spacer 25 extends in each container space, which spacer is formed with a snap function as a first locking device for the respective container.
  • the foundation 22 is on both sides thereof connected to the slide bars 8. Further, the foundation 22 is arranged with a support 26.
  • the support is arranged to be folded down from the foundation when the shop module is displaced transversally outwards along the slide bars 8 thereof.
  • each container space in the frame is arranged with an inclined storage plane 27.
  • FIG 3 shows the foundation 22 previously shown in figure 2 in the form of an L-profile in combination with an adjacent foundation 32, also in the form of an L-profile arising from the adjacent shop module.
  • Each foundation 22, 32 is fixedly connected to an outer slide bar 33, 34.
  • Each outer slide bar rolls telescopically in relation to an inner slide bar 35, 36.
  • this relative motion between the outer slide bars and the inner slide bars is formed as a roller bearing 37.
  • the inner slide bars 35, 36 are connected to a structural girder 38 fixed to the floor.
  • each shop module may be moved transversally outwards and inwards, respectively, in relation to each adjacent shop module.
  • each inner slide bar 35, 36 is connected to the structural girder via a second locking device 39, here shown in the form of a screw joint enabling that a shop module may be connected to an adjacent shop module on either side.
  • Figure 4 shows three frames 20, 40, 41, the middle frame 20 of which is pulled-out from the normal position thereof.
  • the support 26 of the frame 20 which previously has been described under figure 2
  • the other two frames 40, 41 on both sides are shown in the normal positions thereof with raised supports. Further, as is seen in the figure, the supports are provided with mounted wheels that run against the elevation as well as against the shop floor.
  • Figure 5a shows a detailed view of the support in the lowered position.
  • the support consists of a first linkage 51 that is mounted around a pivot 52 in the foundation 22. Moreover the linkage 51 is provided with a longitudinal through slot 53.
  • a second linkage 54 is also mounted around a pivot 55 in the foundation 22. The second linkage 54 is at the outer end thereof provided with a sliding pivot 56 that is arranged to run in the elongate slot 53 in the first linkage 51.
  • the foundation 22 has been brought in the direction of the arrow, the second linkage 54 sliding off a slide member 57 and undertakes by the dead load thereof a angular motion around the pivot 55, the sliding pivot 56 sliding in the slot in order to thereby force the first linkage 51 to be turned out from the foundation 22, the support being lowered.
  • the first linkage 51 is in the outer end thereof provided with a support member 58 in the form of a wheel, but may also be formed as a sliding surface with the corresponding support function, i.e. to constitute a support against a shop floor 59 so that the shop module with the foundation 22 thereof should tip when the module is pulled out over a module base 60. Furthermore, it is seen in the figure that the linkage 51 has passed the maximum position thereof and is in a locked position when the linkage is entirely lowered.
  • Figure 5b shows the support member according to figure 5a in a partly raised position.
  • the shop module, and thereby the foundation 22 thereof, has in this connection been brought inwards in the direction of the arrow, the second linkage 54 striking against and sliding across the slide member 57, the linkage 54 being turned upwards and bringing about that the sliding pivot 56 thereof is displaced in the slot 53, the first linkage 51 being forced to be raised.
  • Figure 5c shows the support member according to figure 5a in an entirely raised and folded-in position.
  • the foundation 22 has been brought further in the direction of the arrow, the second linkage 54 having been forced to an entirely horizontal position by slide motion against the slide member 57.
  • the first linkage 51 with the support member 58 thereof has been raised to a horizontal position.
