Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cigarette holder for self-service shops, with a device for receiving and re-feeding cigarette boxes and with a device for receiving and re-loading cigarette packs, the cigarette holder being closable by at least one optional electromotive driven grid.
  • Cigarette carriers of this type can be found in the checkout areas of hypermarkets. They are located there on or immediately next to the cash desks. Customers can remove cigarette boxes and packs of cigarettes from the cigarette holder.
  • the solution to the problem is that the device for receiving the cigarette packs is arranged lower than the device for receiving the cigarette boxes and that both devices are designed and arranged in such a way that for the purpose of removing the cigarette boxes and the cigarette packs, the cigarette boxes are pushed in horizontally or inclined direction and the cigarette packs are pushed in the vertical direction.
  • the cigarette holder has a space for accommodating the cigarette packs, the lower limit of which is arranged lower than the plane of the belt of a checkout counter.
  • the cigarette carrier thus uses an area that has never been used before was.
  • the lower limit of the space for accommodating the cigarette boxes or cigarette packs ends either at the level of the checkout counter or above the limit. Because the lower-lying cigarette packs are pushed from the bottom up, the cigarette holder can also be placed with one of its walls next to a cash desk, see drawing. That is also a great advantage.
  • a drive device intended to drive the at least one closure grid it also proves to be expedient to provide this drive device below the device for receiving and re-feeding the cigarette packs. This also takes up a previously unused space or area without being disruptive or bulky. Overall, the cigarette holder does not need to be enlarged either in width or in depth. Nevertheless, it is able to hold more cigarette boxes and more cigarette packets than is possible with known and comparable cigarette holders.
  • the drawing shows a cigarette holder 1 in section and a conventional cash desk 20 adjacent to the cigarette holder 1.
  • the cigarette holder 1 is placed on the floor 19. It has a first space 2, in which there is a device 3 for receiving and feeding cigarette packs 5 in the form of a rod. Above the first room 2, ie above the device 3, a second room 6 is provided, in which there is a device 7 for receiving and feeding cigarette boxes 10 in individual form.
  • the housing-like cigarette holder 1 has at least one opening 13 in its upper region, which can be closed by at least one locking grill 14. In the example, two openings 13 are provided. The openings 13 provide access to the cigarette boxes 10 and to the cigarette packs 5.
  • the at least one closure grid 14 can be moved by hand.
  • an electromotive drive device 15 which in the example drives a grille 14 each.
  • the locking grids 14 are guided in tracks 17 equipped with curvature areas 18.
  • the drive wheels 16 of the drive device 15, which are in engagement with the at least one closure grid 14, are arranged in curvature regions 18 of the tracks 17.
  • the cigarette packs 5 rest on the device 3 acting by means of spring force, which pushes the cigarette packs 5 vertically upwards by a pack thickness whenever a cigarette pack 5 has been removed above the conveyor belt 22 of the cash desk 20.
  • the device 3 has two pushing devices 4, so that cigarette packs can be removed both on the front 11 and on the rear 12 of the cigarette holder 1.
  • Only one pushing device 4 can also be provided.
  • the device 3 can also be equipped from the front 11 and from the rear 12.
  • the device 7 for receiving and pushing the cigarette boxes 10 has horizontally or slightly obliquely arranged tiers 8 which are equipped with known pushing devices 9, so that the pushing of the cigarette boxes 10 takes place in the horizontal or inclined direction when previously removed.
  • the removal of the cigarette boxes 10 and also the refilling takes place through the openings 13, that is to say in the example from the front 11 and from the rear 12 of the cigarette holder 1.
  • the drawing clearly shows that the cigarette carrier 1 uses the space 21 which is located next to the cash desk 20 and which is lower than the conveyor belt 22 of the cash desk 20.
