Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cigarette carrier for self-service shops as known from DE 19748158 A, with a device for receiving and feeding cigarette packets and with a device for receiving and Nachschieben cigarette packs, wherein the cigarette holder closable by at least one optionally electromotively driven shutter grid is.
  • Cigarette carriers of this kind can be found in the cash zones of self-service stores. They are located there at or next to the cash desks. Customers can there remove cigarette packs and cigarette packs from the cigarette carrier.
  • the solution of the problem is that the means for receiving the cigarette packs is arranged lower than the means for receiving the cigarette packs and that both devices are designed and arranged so that for the purpose of removing the cigarette packs and cigarette packs the Nachschieben the cigarette packs in horizontal or inclined direction and the Nachschieben the cigarette packs in the vertical direction is done.
  • the cigarette carrier has a space for accommodating the cigarette packs whose lower limit is located lower than the level of the band of a checkout counter.
  • the cigarette carrier thus uses an area that has never been claimed before was.
  • all known cigarette holders namely ends the lower boundary of the space for receiving the cigarette boxes or cigarette packs either at the level of the tape of the cash desk or above the tape. Because the feeding of the lower cigarette packs takes place from bottom to top, the cigarette holder can be placed with one of its walls next to a checkout counter, see drawing. That too is a big advantage.
  • a drive device intended for driving the at least one closure grid If a drive device intended for driving the at least one closure grid is provided, then it also proves expedient to provide this drive device below the device for receiving and feeding the cigarette packets. This also a previously unused space or area is claimed, without disturbing or alsaufend to work. Overall, therefore, the cigarette holder does not need to be increased in width or depth. Nevertheless, he is able to accommodate more cigarette packs and more cigarette packs, as is possible with known and comparable cigarette carriers.
  • the drawing shows a cigarette holder 1 drawn in section and adjacent to the cigarette holder 1 a conventional cash desk 20.
  • the cigarette holder 1 is parked at the bottom 19. It has a first space 2, in which there is a device 3 for receiving and advancing cigarette packets 5 in rod form. Above the first space 2, ie above the device 3, a second space 6 is provided, in which a device 7 for receiving and re-feeding present in single form cigarette boxes 10 is located.
  • the box-like cigarette carrier 1 has in its upper region at least one opening 13, which can be closed by at least one closure grid 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 electric motor-acting drive device 15 which in the example ever a shutter grid 14 drives.
  • the shutter grids 14 are guided in tracks 17 provided with curved regions 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 curved regions 18 of the tracks 17.
  • the cigarette packs 5 rest on the device 3 acting by spring force, which always pushes the cigarette packs 5 vertically upward by one pack thickness, when a cigarette pack 5 has been removed above the conveyor belt 22 of the checkout counter 20.
  • the device 3 has two pushers 4, so that cigarette packs can be removed both on the front 11 and on the back 12 of the cigarette carrier 1. It can also be provided only a pusher 4. Conversely, the device 3 can also be equipped from the front side 11 and from the rear side 12.
  • the device 7 for receiving and Nachschieben the cigarette boxes 10 has horizontally or slightly obliquely arranged floors 8, which are equipped with known thrusters 9, so that the Nachschieben the cigarette packs 10 takes place at a previous removal in a horizontal or inclined direction.
  • the removal of the cigarette boxes 10 and also the replenishment takes place through the openings 13, in the example of the front 11 and 12 of the cigarette holder 1 from.
  • the drawing clearly conveys that the cigarette carrier 1 exploits the space 21 which is located next to the checkout counter 20 and which is located lower than the conveyor belt 22 of the checkout counter 20.
