Definitions

  • the invention relates to a round shelf with a central column, which carries shelves in superimposed floors, each shelf consists of several sector-shaped segments, and has a sector-shaped opening between the segments.
  • An in EP 0 211 816 B1 described Rundregal has a central pillar, which carries shelves in different floors. Each shelf is mounted on a rotatably mounted on the column central hub, so that the shelf is rotatable as a whole. Each shelf is in sector-shaped Segments divided, which can be individually pulled out radially, between two segments may be provided a filling opening for filling the shelf of the underlying floor. The shelves fall off towards the outer edge. Objects lying on a shelf slide by gravity to the outer edge where they can be removed.
  • the preamble of claim 1 is based on a round shelf, the in DE-A-2046362 is described.
  • This round rack has a column on which bearing bushes bearing rings are mounted, which in turn carry radially projecting segments, which form the trays for receiving objects.
  • the segments are arranged in several levels, each floor being provided with an annular disc projecting from the column, on which rollers, which are mounted on the underside of the segment, roll off.
  • the rollers form a drive of the segment
  • the bearing rings form a holding device for securing the segment against radial removal from the column.
  • the bearing rings are stacked with the associated bearing bushes and another bearing bush for the annular disc to form a stack which surrounds the column tubular. Individual elements can only be removed from this stack by removing the elements above them.
  • the device has a complicated structure.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a round shelf of simplified construction, in which the drive performs several different functions.
  • the round rack according to the present invention is defined by claim 1. It is characterized in that the drive is also designed as a holding device which forms a safeguard against radial removal of the segment from the race. This ensures that the segment is supported exclusively by the drive and held on the column, so that all holding functions are concentrated on the drive.
  • the drive is arranged only at the radially inner end of the segment.
  • the segment protrudes from the drive in the manner of a cantilever to the outside.
  • the drive is the only support of the segment, which protrudes radially free of the column. This results in a clear structure of the shelf, the contents of which is freely visible.
  • the segments of the same floor are suspended individually rotatable on the column, so that by rotating segments relative to each other is selectable, between which adjacent segments, the opening is formed.
  • the individual suspension of the segments increases the variability within the same floor.
  • the shelf is not a contiguous item, but from relative to each other around the column rotatable segments. With a rotation by only a few degrees, the opening can thus be generated at any desired angular position of the round rack.
  • the maximum angle to be rotated depends on the size or number of segments.
  • the user has the opportunity to open the shelf by creating the opening between adjacent segments at any point, in each case only a small rotation of the entire shelf must be made, which corresponds to a maximum of about half the circumferential angle of a segment.
  • the fact that the positioning of the opening requires only relatively small rotations, several people who access the rule at the same time, not significantly disturbed.
  • round shelf is to be understood as a shelf having a central pillar supporting shelves on different floors, the shelves being rotatable about the pillar.
  • the shelves do not have to necessarily be round. For example, it is also possible that they have a polygonal or oval outer shape.
  • the round shelf according to the invention is suitable as a sales shelf for receiving numerous smaller items.
  • a typical field of application is pharmacies, where a large number of small-format products are sold, which must be arranged as close as possible to the operator in order to be quickly accessible. But also for other businesses or other applications than the retail sector, the round shelf is suitable. It has the advantage that stored on a small footprint a large variety of products and is made easily accessible.
  • the individual suspension of the segments offers the advantage that each segment can be removed and replaced or cleaned individually. It is also possible to swap segments in a simple manner, for example, when two segments containing similar products to be juxtaposed.
  • the column for each floor has a race on which the segments each run with a drive.
  • the race is preferably made of plastic and it is attached to the existing steel central column.
  • Such a race allows a quiet movement of the segments.
  • the drives of the segments may have upper and lower rollers, the upper rollers rolling on an inner track and the lower rollers on an outer track of the race.
  • two upper and two lower rollers are provided to ensure that the segment is held tilt-free.
  • the segments are cantilever-like outward from the drives. Therefore, the drive of each segment must be able to stably support this segment, including the goods thereon.
  • adjacent segments are adhesively connected by means of retractable holding devices. This ensures that the individual segments do not unintentionally rotate against each other, so that the opening always remains in the same place and in full size
  • a lifting tool is provided according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is attachable to one of the races and forms a support for the segment arranged above. This segment can then be tilted around the support so that its drive can be removed from the race. In this way it is possible to easily remove or insert self-loaded segments.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention consists of a round shelf with a central column, which carries shelves in superimposed floors, each shelf consists of several sector-shaped segments which are suspended individually rotatable, each segment individually, ie independently of the other segments, in the round shelf can be used or removed from this.
  • a significant advantage is that the segments of the same floor can be removed individually, for example, to clean them, to fill or empty without any segments of the same floor or another floor of the round rack would have to be removed beforehand. It is essential here that the segments are inserted completely independently of one another into the round rack and can be removed individually, without affecting another segment. This aspect has independent meaning.
  • the round shelf has a standing on the ground foot 10, from which a central pillar 11 rises.
  • the column 11 consists of a tube or any other metal profile bar.
  • races 12 are attached, which surround the column.
  • the races are preferably made of plastic. They are firmly and non-rotatably connected to the column 11.
  • Each race carries a shelf 13, the shelves forming floors at different heights.
  • the shelves 13 are arranged at vertical intervals and parallel to each other. They are frusto-conical and fall from the raceway 12 to the outer end.
  • a peripheral wall 14 for supporting the stacked in the round shelf items 15, which are pressed by gravity against the peripheral wall 14.
  • the uppermost shelf 13 is a roof 16 which is secured to the upper end of the column 11 and which covers the shelf at a distance to prevent the ingress of dust.
  • the round shelf is Kochmannsroch.
  • Fig. 2 shows a plan view of a shelf 13.
  • the shelf is composed of a plurality of segments 20 which are arranged around the column 11 around are.
  • Each of the sector-shaped segments has a bottom plate 21 and two opposite radial side walls 22, 23 and a peripheral wall 14 forming the segment periphery, which connects the side walls 22, 23.
  • the bottom plate 21 terminates at a distance from the column 11 in an inner edge 24.
  • the inner edge 24 defines an open space 25th
  • each segment 20 extends over a circumferential angular range of less than 60 degrees. All six segments together enclose a circumference angle of 345 degrees. So there remains a sector-shaped opening 19 of 15 degrees. This opening is used to fill the shelf of each underlying floors.
  • the magnet 26 attracts the backing plate 27 and causes an adhesive connection of the segments when they are set against each other. In this way, the opening 19 is prevented from being distributed circumferentially.
  • Grip elements 28 are provided on the segments, which rotate at a distance around the peripheral wall 14 at a distance.
  • the gripping members 28 each consist of a bent rod.
  • the distance from the peripheral wall 14 is so large that one can reach through with the fingers of one hand, so that the thumb can press against the bend 28 a of the handle of the adjacent segment to move this relative to the hand-gripped segment or to turn.
  • Each segment contains in the bottom plate 21 two sector-shaped rows of slots 29, 30 at different radii. In these slots compartment dividers 31 can be attached (Fig. 3). These are radially or parallel to a side wall 22,23 aligned intermediate walls for the separation of objects 15, which are stored in the shelf.
  • each segment 20 At the inner end of each segment 20 is a drive 32 which engages with the respective race 12 of the column.
  • the drive which is shown in Fig. 4, has a generally U-shaped bracket 33, whose substantially horizontal side legs carry upper rollers 34 and lower rollers 35.
  • the upper rollers 34 run along an inner track 36 which is formed on an upwardly projecting edge 41 of the raceway 12. This edge is overlapped by the headband 33.
  • the lower rollers 35 run along a circular outer track 37 of the race 12.
  • the outer track 37 is bounded by an annular shoulder 38, over which a clearance 39 is provided for lifting the rollers 35.
  • the drive is the only supporting device for the segment and at the same time a holding device for securing against radial removal of the segment.
  • the segment is free in the manner of a cantilever or boom.
  • the respective segment 20 can be removed from the central race 12 by being raised, with the upper rollers 34 remaining in contact with the inner track 36, while the lower rollers 35 are raised from the outer track 37.
  • the segment can be easily lifted to come free from the race 12 and then pulled radially to the column 11.
  • the insertion of the segment takes place in the slightly raised state, wherein the upper rollers 34 are pushed over the protruding projection of the race 12, while the lower rollers 35 penetrate into the free space 39.
  • the drive 32 is lowered, so that the rollers come to rest on their respective tracks.
  • the race 12 is fixed immovably with radial clamping screws 40 on the column 11.
  • the drive 32 has two upper rollers 34, which are arranged side by side. Below this, the drive has two likewise juxtaposed lower rollers 35. This paired arrangement of the rollers causes a tilting freedom of the segment 20th
  • Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the Aushebetechnikmaschines 45.
  • This has an elongated arm 46 whose length is greater than the radius of the round rack.
  • the arm 46 may be hooked to each of the races 12 to lift that segment 20 attached to the overlying race from that race.
  • the lifting tool is provided at its one end with a support hook 47 which is open at the bottom.
  • the support hook 47 can be hooked into the upper edge 41 of the race 12.
  • Below the support hook 47 the arm has a support 48, which is supported directly on the column 11. A lateral tilting of the Aushebetechnikmaschines 45 is prevented by the support 48. In this way, the arm 46 is cantilevered to the raceway 12.
  • the edge of the arm 46 forms a substantially horizontal sliding surface 49a in the mounted state.
  • a circular arc-shaped support 51 which projects T-shaped to opposite sides of the arm. This support 51 ensures that the segment to be lifted does not tip off laterally from the sliding surface 49b of the narrow arm 46.
  • bearing stops 52 for the outer edge of the segment to prevent radial sliding of the segment from the arm 46.
