Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sales station, and more particularly to a beverage station adapted for dispensing drinks to customers.
  • beverage stations known in which a vending machine - such.
  • B. a coffee machine - is arranged in a box-shaped or cuboid housing.
  • the housing has a flat rear wall, with which the beverage station can be placed against a Anstellwand or attached to this.
  • a beverage station on two side walls and a front wall.
  • controls are arranged, as well as a recess into which a cup or the like can be placed for receiving the dispensed drink.
  • the side walls as well as the front wall, which is not used for the control panel, are frequently used for advertising motifs.
  • these surfaces can be covered with foils or the like.
  • the representable motifs are limited in their extent. So it is not possible to represent advertising motifs, which are larger in size than the side walls in their extent. Furthermore, a suitable illumination of these attached to the walls motifs is problematic. It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a sales station to provide, which has a larger, usable for advertising motifs outer surface.
  • the idea underlying the invention is to provide a sales station with a substantially cylindrical housing (ie a substantially cylindrical outer surface), which is cut to its rear side, and thus provided with a flat rear wall.
  • a significant advantage resulting from the arrangement according to the invention is that the usable for advertising motifs outer surface of the sales station is increased.
  • the sales station is provided with a large flat rear wall, so that it can be placed on a wall and secured at several points to this.
  • the rear wall of the main body may be rectangular, wherein the shorter sides of the rectangular rear wall are arranged parallel to the footprint and the longer sides of the rectangular rear wall perpendicular to the footprint.
  • the side panels may each have two mutually parallel straight longitudinal edges and two, the longitudinal edges connecting circular arc-shaped transverse edges, the base body may have on its side walls fastening elements which are arranged perpendicular to the footprint, and the longitudinal edges of the second panels may be attached to the fastening elements.
  • a gap in each of which at least one holder for a lighting device (a light source) is arranged.
  • a lighting device can be provided behind the side panels, which illuminates the side panels, or the advertising motif provided on them from behind.
  • the brackets can be designed in particular for the reception of fluorescent tubes. Thus, a cost-effective illumination of the advertising motifs on the side panels can be achieved.
  • the side panels may each have a frame in which a large-scale panel made of hard plastic, such as polycarbonate, is inserted.
  • two anchoring elements for anchoring the sales station to the erection wall can be provided on the rear wall.
  • the anchoring elements may be formed, for example, as an angle elements or the like.
  • a cross-sectionally circular rear panel may be provided, which is attached to the rear wall.
  • the sales station instead of being attached to the rear wall with the rear wall, can be freestanding Room can be set up.
  • the rear panel connects to the side panels, so that an even larger, usable for advertising motifs outside surface can be realized.
  • lighting means may be provided in the space defined between the rear wall and the rear panel in a similar manner.
  • An operating area for operating the sales station and for the delivery of goods can be arranged on the side facing away from the rear wall, ie on the front side.
  • This operating area can in particular have a control panel for selecting and displaying the goods offered, as well as a credit system for payment processing.
  • the sales station can be set up, for example, for the dispensing of drinks, wherein a refrigerated container for receiving and cooling liquids (water, milk or the like) can be provided below the operating area.
  • the refrigerated container may have a circular arc-shaped outwardly curved outer surface.
  • closes in this case the curvature of the outer wall of the refrigerated container seamlessly to the curvature of the side panels, so that an even greater usable in particular for coherent advertising motifs outer surface is achieved.
  • the illustrated sales station 1 is designed as a beverage station, which is designed for dispensing drinks against the acceptance of payment means.
  • FIG. 7 shows an exploded view of a sales station 1 according to an embodiment of the invention and an optional supplementary element in the form of a back panel 4c.
  • a base body 2 is substantially - box-shaped or cuboid and has a rear wall 3a, side walls 3b and 3c, the rear wall 3a and the side walls 3b and 3c interconnecting cover 3d, and a non-illustrated, the rear wall 3a and the side walls 3b and 3c connecting ground on. Overall, the base body 2 is thus designed as a front open cuboid. On its underside, the base body 2 can be mounted as shown on adjustable foot elements.
  • a fully automatic beverage machine is arranged with the associated control.
  • a service console 50 is arranged at the front of the main body 2.
  • the service console 50 has an inwardly curved wall 51, in which a (explained in more detail below) control panel 10 and cup dispensers 20a - 20d are arranged.
  • a control panel 10 controls the cup dispensers 20a - 20d.
  • an outwardly curved center panel 52 is provided at the lower end of the wall 51.
  • the center panel 52 is bounded rearwardly by a support 53 on which cups for receiving a drink can be placed.
  • a credit system 30 is arranged, which has a Münzeinsch 31 and a bill accepting slot 39 (see the Fig. 10 ) or a device for receiving credit cards, prepaid cards or the like.
  • a coin return tray 41 is disposed in the center panel 52.
  • a refrigerated container 40 is provided below the service console 50, which is also mounted by means of rails in the base body and can be pulled out of the main body 2. Also, this refrigerated container 40 is covered with an outwardly curvedmécontainerpaneel 55, on which an advertising motif can be applied.
  • the refrigerated container 40 is used to hold and cool liquids for beverage preparation, such. As milk. It is connected via a suitable (not shown in detail) hose system with the provided in the base body 2 fully automatic beverage, so that the liquid contained in the refrigerated container can be used for fully automatic beverage machines for the preparation of drinks.
  • brackets 8 are used to hold, for example, about one meter long fluorescent tubes.
  • the brackets (and thus the bulbs) are arranged slightly angled relative to the vertical, so that a favorable illumination, so a good light distribution over the entire surface of the overlying side panels 4a and 4b results.
  • each provided on a side wall brackets 8 are arranged at an angle to each other, but they can also be arranged parallel to each other.
  • the total height of the sales station can be, for example 190 cm, so that it is easy to operate when placing on a floor surface.
  • a first configuration of the sales station 1 are side panels 4a and 4b on the side walls 3b and 3c of Sales station 1 arranged, whereas the rear wall 3a of the base body 2 remains free.
  • This configuration is for example in the Fig. 1 - 6 shown.
  • the rear wall 3a remains free, so that the sales station can be placed in a space-saving manner to a flat Aufstellwand, and optionally attached to it.
  • the main body 2 and the side panels 4 a and 4 b are covered with a cover 6.
  • the side panels 4a and 4b comprise a frame, which has two vertical struts and a circular segment-shaped bottom element and a circular segment-shaped ceiling element.
  • This frame can be made, for example, as a metal frame (eg of aluminum).
  • a large-scale panel made of hard plastic is inserted. When not pushed in, the hard plastic panel is essentially flat (ie without buckling).
  • the hard plastic panel is rectangular and has a thickness of about 3 mm.
  • the hard plastic panel is provided with a predetermined curvature.
  • the hard plastic panel may be coated with a self-adhesive film from behind (ie on the side facing the main body 2). Due to this self-adhesive film, a large-scale advertising motif can be made visible to the outside.
  • fasteners 57 are provided, which are formed in the present example as perforated strips. Also on the side panels 4a and 4b corresponding fasteners (perforated strips) 58 are provided. By screwing the perforated strips 57 on the base body 2 with the perforated strips 58 on the side panels 4 a and 4 b, the side panels 4 a and 4 b are secured to the base body 2. Thus, the results in the Fig. 1 -6 illustrated arrangement.
  • An advantage of this arrangement is that the outdoor area of the point of sale that can be used for advertising motifs is enlarged. Furthermore, the curvature of the center panel 52 and thedecontainerpaneels 55 seamlessly connects to the curvature of the side panels 4a and 4b. In other words, the panels 4a, 4b, 52 and 55 have the same degree of curvature. Thus, it is possible to provide an advertising motif which extends beyond the side panels 4a and 4b and extends to the panels 5, 52 or 55. In particular, lettering can extend over these various panels, the constant curvature ensuring that such a logo is easy to read. Due to the substantially cylindrical shape of the sales station, an advantageous ratio between floor space and usable advertising space is further realized.
  • a further advantage of the illustrated embodiment is that the advertising motifs provided on the side panels can be illuminated by the illuminants provided in the holders 8. Thus, a favorable lighting can be realized by a very simple construction. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the panels are coated from the inside with a self-adhesive film. The motif on the foil is thus protected by the panels, and can not easily be scraped or damaged.
  • the sales station can be placed with its flat rear wall on a flat Aufstellwand, and optionally with fastening means (eg mounting brackets) attached thereto.
  • fastening means eg mounting brackets
  • the respective rear walls 3a of the two sales stations 1 against each other, and the two sales stations can be placed freely in the room in this arrangement. With such an arrangement can by the juxtaposed side panels an even larger continuous advertising space can be achieved.
  • Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 show a further embodiment of a sales station.
  • a rear panel 4c is attached to the rear wall 3a.
  • the rear panel 4c is also fastened to the rear wall 3a with corresponding fastening means 57 and 58.
  • the rear panel preferably has the same degree of curvature as the side panels 4a and 4b.
  • the outer surface of the sales station 1 is supplemented to a substantially cylindrical surface (apart from the recess in the control panel 50).
  • the sales station 1 is typically not placed against a wall but placed freely in the room.
  • Fig. 11 shows a perspective view of another embodiment of the sales station.
  • a cylindrical attachment 60 is placed on the base body 2, wherein the cylindrical attachment 60, the cylindrical shape of the sales station 1 continues or extended.
  • this cylindrical cap 60 may be made of internally coated polycarbonate, and may also be suitably illuminated from the inside.
  • the available advertising space can be further increased.
  • Fig. 9 is a schematic representation of the arranged on the front of the sales station 1 control panel 10.
  • a plurality of product display panels 14 are arranged, which display the available products.
  • two control buttons 13a and 13b are arranged in each case.
  • the delivery quantities do not have to be identical for all product types. For example, a "coffee latte" product of the order of medium and large sizes may be offered, and an "espresso" product of the order of small and medium size may be offered.
  • a display 11 which may be formed for example as an LCD display.
  • a spout 12 (dispensing dispenser) is arranged, from which the beverage prepared by the drinks dispenser is provided.
  • the support 53 is arranged so that a cup 70 can be placed below the outlet 12 on the support 53.
  • cup dispensers 20a, 20b and 20c are arranged. These cup dispensers 20a, 20b and 20c provide cups 70a, 70b and 70c of various sizes (eg, large, medium and small). To the cup dispensers 20a, 20b and 20c, a light indicator 25a, 25b and 25c is arranged in each case.
  • the light indicators 25a, 25b and 25c may be formed, for example, as a light emitting diode or the like.
  • the sales station 1 is further provided with a control unit (not shown in detail), which realizes the following functionality: If a customer presses one of the buttons 13a or 13b to select the displayed on the corresponding product display panel 14 product in the appropriate size, then relevant price displayed on the display 11. At the same time, the illuminated display 25a, 25b or 25c which belongs to the cup size of the selected beverage is turned on. So if the customer selects the product "coffee latte" of the size "big”, then the light indicator 25a is turned on around the large cup tumbler dispenser 20a and starts to light up. In this way, the customer is signaled the size of the drink selected by him. Furthermore, it is ensured that the customer does not accidentally select a beverage container (cup), which is too small for the selected beverage. Thus, operability is facilitated, and thus provided an improved man-machine interface.
  • a control unit (not shown in detail), which realizes the following functionality: If a customer presses one of the buttons 13a or 13b to select the displayed on the corresponding product
  • the illuminated display 25a to 25c constantly lit at power.
  • the lights can also be designed to flash when turned on, which also draws the customer's attention to the appropriate cup dispenser.
  • the corresponding indicator light can be switched off so that it stops to light up.
  • a sensor can be provided in the cup dispensers 20a to 20c, which emits a corresponding signal to the control unit when a cup is removed.
  • the sales station 1 designed as a beverage station furthermore has a recognition system for recognizing a cup 70 placed on the support 53.
  • This detection system may include, for example, light sensors 15a to 15c.
  • the light sensors 15a to 15c each include a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting and receiving an optical signal, respectively.
  • the transmitter may for example be designed as an infrared transmitter, and the receiver may be formed as a photodiode, which responds to light radiation in the frequency spectrum of the light emitted by the transmitter. If now near the Transmitter a reflective object, such. As a cup 70, is placed, then this object reflects the light beam emitted by the transmitter, so that an increased amount of light impinges on the receiver. This received light is converted by the receiver into an electromagnetic signal which is amplified, supplied to the control unit, and evaluated by the latter.
  • three light sensors 15a, 15b and 15c are provided. These light sensors are arranged at different heights below the outlet 12.
  • the light sensor 15c is arranged below the upper edge of a placed on the support 53 small cup 70c.
  • the light sensor 15b is arranged above the upper edge of a small cup 70c resting on the support 53, but below the upper edge of a medium-sized cup 70b placed on the support 53.
  • the light sensor 15a is arranged below the upper edge of a cup 70a placed on the support 53, but above the upper edge of a medium-sized cup 70b placed on the support 53.
  • the control unit concludes that no tray 70 has been placed on the tray 53. If only the light button 15c registers an object on the tray 53 below the spout 12, then the control unit concludes that a small cup 70c has been placed on the tray 53. If the light sensors 15b and 15c are an object register on the support 53 below the spout 12 and the light sensor 15a registers no such object, then the control unit concludes that a medium cup 70b has been placed on the support 53 below the spout 12. If all three light scanners 15a to 15c register an object on the support 53, then it can be concluded that a large beaker 70a has been placed on the support 53 below the spout 12.
  • buttons 15a - 15c With these light buttons 15a - 15c, it is possible to prevent discharge of a drink into a cup unsuitable for it. This is ensured by the following operating sequence:
  • a customer selects a drink by operating one of the control buttons 13a and 13b.
  • the purchase price is displayed on the display 11, and at the same time, the corresponding indicator lights 25a, 25b and 25c light up.
  • the customer removes a cup from one of the cup dispensers 20a, 20b and 20c and places the cup on the support 53.
  • the dispensing process of the selected beverage can now be activated, for example, by means of a (not shown) confirmation button.
  • the illuminated keys 15a, 15b and 15c are activated, and in the manner described above, determine the size of the cup placed on the tray 53.
  • the controller now determines that the placed on the support 53 cup 70 is not suitable for receiving the selected beverage, so if z. For example, if a small cup 70c has been placed, even though a large beverage has been selected, then sales station 1 will provide a visual or audible feedback to the customer requesting it to replace the cup. For example, the arranged around the large cup dispenser 20a Luminous device 25a are made to flash, so as to signal to the customer that a large cup 70a for receiving the selected drink is needed.
