Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor line according to the preamble of claim 1 for connecting a cashier counter and a bagging counter.
  • the invention relates also to a space arrangement according to the preamble of claim 12, which includes a cashier counter and a bagging counter, as well as a conveyor line between said cashier counter and bagging counter.
  • the invention is intended for eliminating the drawbacks existing in the presented prior art.
  • a principal object of the invention is to provide a conveyor line for a cashier counter, which enables reading bar codes on merchandise and receiving a payment only from a conveyor line side of the cashier station regardless of the size of merchandise being dealt with.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a conveyor line, which enables a space solution denying the customer any access to the cashier station.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a conveyor line, wherein the cashier counter conveyor and the bagging counter conveyor are both driven conveyors.
  • the conveyor line interconnects a cashier counter and a bagging counter.
  • the conveyor line comprises a conveyor linked to a cashier counter and equipped with a motor driving the cashier counter's conveyor belt, and a conveyor linked to a bagging counter and equipped with a motor driving the bagging counter's conveyor belt.
  • Either one of said conveyors is a folding conveyor and the conveyors define jointly a substantially continuous plane for the conveyor line, extending from the cashier counter to the bagging counter.
  • the folding conveyor includes a pivoting end of the folding conveyor's frame, which is capable of being turned to an angle of about 45-140 degrees relative to the conveyor line's plane about a hinge point of the folding conveyor's frame while at least the motor driving the folding conveyor's conveyor belt is in operation.
  • the pivoting end of the folding conveyor's frame adjacent to the gateway is foldable to an angle of about 70-110 degrees, preferably to an angle of about 90 degrees, upward from the conveyor line's plane, by pivoting the folding conveyor's frame about the hinge point while both motors driving the conveyor belts (43, 53) are in operation.
  • US patent publications 4 182 433 and 4 265 336 disclose a slightly similar type conveyor line, in which, however, the entire section of the conveyor line leading to a bagging counter folds downward about its pivot point present at the rear end. Drive for the conveyor line section (conveyor) is stopped as the latter is turned downward. It is not the intention in these publications to establish a conveyor line, in which all products and commodities could be dealt with from the same side of the conveyor line from the cashier station perspective, but, instead, the purpose there is to provide two separate lines, in which is only employed either a conveyor present on the cashier counter or a conveyor both present on the cashier counter and leading to the bagging counter. Therefore, the conveyor leading to the bagging counter is stopped entirely as a line change is conducted.
  • a folding conveyor according to the invention is easy to pivot, since the hinge point divides the folding conveyor in two segments, such that it is only the folding part (end) of the frame which is pivoted, nor does it limit the length of the frame's stationary segment leading to the cashier counter or the bagging counter.
  • each driven segment of the conveyor line is a belt conveyor and the driven motion of a second belt conveyor, configured as a folding conveyor, is stoppable by pivoting one end of its frame about a hinge point.
  • a belt-driven folding conveyor provides the advantage over conveyor arrangements known e.g. from the above-cited US patent publications 4 182 433 and 4 265 336 that the folding conveyor need not be separately stopped and restarted when it is desirable to establish a gateway across the conveyor line.
  • the frame of a conveyor line's folding conveyor has the motion of its pivoting end lightened with a spring-loaded relief element, such as a gas spring.
  • a lifting moment applied by the gas spring to an end of the folding conveyor is adjustable, such that the lifting moment is at its maximum as the pivoting end of the folding conveyor's frame is flush with the conveyor line, and the lifting moment decreases linearly as the folding conveyor's end is pivoted upwards from the plane of the conveyor line.
  • a benefit gained thereby is that both turning the folding conveyor's end upward and lowering the same downward are effortless operations, because the lifting moment applied by a relief element to the conveyor line is at its minimum when the folding conveyor's end is in its top position.
  • the space arrangement according to the invention includes a cashier counter and a bagging counter, as well as a conveyor line between said cashier counter and bagging counter, said line including a conveyor linked to the cashier counter and equipped with a motor driving a conveyor belt, and a conveyor linked to the bagging counter and equipped with a motor driving the bagging counter's conveyor belt, either one of said conveyors being a folding conveyor and said conveyors defining jointly a substantially continuous plane (T) for the conveyor line, extending from the cashier counter to the bagging counter.
  • T substantially continuous plane
  • the space arrangement is capable of being provided with a gateway leading to the cashier counter by folding a pivoting end of the conveyor line's folding conveyor adjacent to the gateway to an angle of about 45-140 degrees relative to the plane of the conveyor line about a hinge point of the folding conveyor's frame while at least the motor driving the folding conveyor's conveyor belt is in operation.
  • the pivoting end of the folding conveyor's frame is capable of being turned to an angle (N) while at least the motor driving the folding conveyor's conveyor belt is in operation.
  • the pivoting end of the folding conveyor's frame is capable of being turned to an angle (N) relative to the conveyor line's plane while both motors driving the conveyor belts are in operation.
  • the gateway is capable of being closed by turning the pivoting end of the folding conveyor's frame from an angle (N), preferably from an angle (N) of about 70-110 degrees, to a parallel relationship with the conveyor line's plane (T) about the hinge point of the folding conveyor's frame while at least the motor driving the folding conveyor's conveyor belt is in operation.
  • the gateway established by means of the space arrangement's folding conveyor leads to a cashier's workstation, which is on the one hand defined by a wall(s) interconnecting the cashier counter and the bagging counter and on the other hand by said conveyor line.
  • a cashier's workstation which is on the one hand defined by a wall(s) interconnecting the cashier counter and the bagging counter and on the other hand by said conveyor line.
  • a gateway which is established by turning a pivoting end of the frame of the conveyor line's folding conveyor to an angle from the conveyor line's plane.
  • wall is here used in reference to a temporary or stationary wall element, but also to movable sturdy space dividers.
  • Such a space arrangement provides a cashier counter-conveyor belt solution considerably more compact than before in a direction transverse to the conveyor line's longitudinal direction, wherein the cashier counter and the bagging counter can be brought, if desired, to attachment with the wall/walls.
  • Figs. 1 , 2A-2B , and 3 serve to visualize from various perspectives a conveyor line 6 interconnecting a cashier counter 2 and a bagging counter 3, while a folding conveyor 9 is either in flushness with a plane T of the conveyor line 6 ( fig. 1 and fig. 3 ) or a pivoting end 9a of the folding conveyor is in an uplifted position ( figs. 2A and 2B ).
  • the conveyor line 6 comprises a driven conveyor 5 linked to the cashier counter 2 as well as a driven conveyor 4 linked to the bagging counter 3. Either one of these conveyors 4, 5 is a folding conveyor.
  • the conveyors 4, 5 define jointly a substantially continuous plane T for the conveyor line 6, extending from the cashier counter 2 to the bagging counter 3. Between forward edges of the cashier counter 2 and the bagging counter 3 is left a specific gap 70, having a width V in the direction of the conveyor line 6.
  • the folding conveyor 9 includes a pivoting end 9a (of the frame), which is foldable to an angle N (upward) from the conveyor line's 6 plane T about a hinge point 9; 9c of the folding conveyor's 9 frame, such that between the driven conveyor 5 linked to the cahier counter 2 and the driven conveyor 4 linked to the bagging counter 3 is established a gateway 7, having a width V in the conveyor line direction.
  • the distance between forward edges of the cashier counter 2 and the bagging counter 3 refers to a distance between mutually closest frame elements or frame support elements (pedestal) of these particular counters 2, 3.
  • the angle N is an angle formed between a plane defined by the surface of the folding conveyor's 9 pivoting end 9a and the surface of a stationary segment 9b of the folding conveyor's frame when the surface of the folding conveyor's stationary segment is in flushness with the conveyor line 6 ( fig. 4 ).
  • the angle N is usually about 90 degrees, but can be for example within the range of 70-110 degrees or even 45-140 degrees.
  • the deflection angle N depends also on whether the folding conveyor is made up by the cashier counter's conveyor 5 or the bagging counter's conveyor 4. If the folding conveyor is made up by the bagging counter's conveyor, the deflection angle will be restricted by merchandise on the bagging counter, because then a deflection angle between the folding conveyor's end and the rest of the frame must not be so small that the folding conveyor's pivoting end collides with merchandise present on the bagging counter.
  • the folding conveyor in this case is the conveyor 4 linked to the bagging counter 3, but just as well the folding conveyor could also be the conveyor 5 linked to the cashier counter 2.
  • Both the driven conveyor 5 linked to the cashier counter 2 and the driven conveyor 4 linked to the bagging counter 3 are each belt conveyors. They comprise a conveyor frame 51 partly integrated with the cashier counter 2 and a conveyor frame 41 partly integrated with the bagging counter 3, respectively.
  • the structure of the cashier counter 2 and the belt conveyor 5 linked thereto is as such conventional, and so is that of the bagging counter 3 and, regarding modifications of these elements, reference is indeed made to prior art engineering, which discloses a variety of options for implementing a cashier counter, a bagging counter, and a belt conveyor linked to a cashier counter or a bagging counter.
  • the belt conveyor 4 linked to the bagging counter 3 is configured as a folding conveyor 9, including an end 9a pivoting around a hinge point 9; 9c present in the frame.
  • the pivoting end 9a of the folding conveyor's frame is lightened with a relief element 8, which in this case is a gas spring. Turning the pivoting end 9a of the folding conveyor's frame around the hinge point enables establishing a gateway 7 as described later.
  • Figs. 4A and 4B serve to visualize operation of the gas spring 8 as the pivoting end 9a of the folding conveyor's 9 frame is being turned upward from the conveyor line's plane and, in addition, fig. 4A visualizes how the hinge point of the folding conveyor's 9 frame lies above a straight line L extending between the axle mounting points of a drum motor 41; 41 b of the conveyor 9 and a folding roll 41, 41 a present at the end to facilitate locking of the folding conveyor in its lower position.
  • Fig. 5 serves to visualize how the conveyor line provided with a folding conveyor of the invention enables placing a cashier counter and a bagging counter in the attachment with or in the intimate vicinity of a wall/walls 13.
  • the cashier counter 2 comprises a countertop 21 in an assembly with a part of or the whole frame 51 of the belt conveyor 5.
  • the countertop 21 is propped on a foundation, such as a shop floor, by means of a pedestal 25.
  • the cashier counter's countertop 21 has a generally more or less rectangular shape and is topped by a fence 22 extending around the countertop 21 on three sides.
  • the bagging counter 3, on the other hand, comprises a countertop 31 of the bagging counter, having integrated therewith a part of the belt conveyor's 4 frame.
  • the bagging counter's countertop 31 is propped on the foundation by way of a pedestal 35.
  • the bagging counter 3 is more or less square-shaped, and it is wider than the cashier counter in lateral direction, i.e. in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor line 6.
  • the countertop 31 of the bagging counter 3 is topped by a fence 32 circling around it on three sides.
  • the belt conveyor 5 integrated with the cashier counter's countertop 21 is conventional as such.
  • the belt conveyor features an endless belt 53 and a frame 51, the latter being partly integrated with structural elements of the cashier counter's countertop 21.
  • a drum motor (not shown in the figures) concealed under a rear section 21 b of the cashier counter's countertop 21, and a reversing roll 51; 51 a located in a forward section 21 a of the cashier counter.
  • the drum motor drives the endless belt 53, which is running around the reversing roll 51; 51 a operating in the countertop's forward section 21a.
  • the rear section 21b of the cashier counter's countertop 21 refers to a far end of the cashier counter's countertop as viewed from the bagging counter
  • the forward section 21 a of the cashier counter 21 in turn refers to a near end of the cashier counter's countertop as viewed from the bagging counter 3.
  • Running and stopping of the belt 53 can be controlled by means of per se conventional control means, which have not been shown in order to simplify the figures.
  • control means include e.g. optical and mechanical relays.
  • the belt conveyor 4 which is partly integrated with the countertop 31 of the bagging counter 3, also comprises an endless belt 43 and a frame 41, the latter being partly integrated with structural elements of the countertop 31.
  • a reversing roll 41 a of the belt conveyor 4 has been taken to the proximity of the belt conveyor's 5 reversing roll 51 a located in the forward section of the cashier counter's countertop (cf. fig. 4A ).
  • the surface of the endless belt 43 establishes a first segment of the conveyor line 6.
  • This segment 43 of the conveyor line extends from the bagging counter 3 to the vicinity of the cashier counter 2, crossing at the same time an opening 70, which is present between the forward edges of the bagging counter and the cashier counter and which has a width V in the direction of the conveyor line.
  • a second segment of the conveyor line 6 is established by the surface of the belt conveyor 53 running on top of the cashier counter.
  • the frame 41 of the bagging counter's 3 belt conveyor 4 has now been made foldable upwards by providing said frame 41 with a hinge 41; 41 c (9; 9c).
  • the hinge 41 is positioned slightly beyond a forward edge of the bagging counter 3, in other words slightly away from the bagging counter's forward edge towards the cashier counter in the direction of the conveyor line. Consequently, the belt conveyor 4, which is configured as a folding conveyor, has its frame 41 consisting of a stationary segment 411 of said frame 41, which is integrated with the bagging counter 4, as well as a pivoting segment 412 of the frame 41, which lies on top of the opening 70 between the bagging counter 3 and the cashier counter.
  • the pivoting segment 41 of the conveyor's frame is not necessarily deflected to an angle of exactly 90 degrees relative to the conveyor line's plane T as the gateway 7 is established across the conveyor line between the cashier counter and the bagging counter, but this deflection angle can be for example 45-140 degrees, preferably 70-110 degrees.
  • the folding conveyor 9 refers to a driven conveyor, which is similar to the bagging counter's belt conveyor 4 and which has its frame consisting of a stationary segment 9b located on the bagging or cashier counter and of a pivoting end 9a located at least partially in the opening 70 between the bagging counter and the cashier counter, as well as of a hinge 9c present between the pivoting end 9a and the stationary segment 9b.
  • the opening between the bagging counter 3 and the cashier counter 2 is fitted with a door 70, which is co-directional with the conveyor line 6 and which opens into the cashier's station.
  • the belt conveyor 4 used as the folding conveyor 9 has the pivoting segment 412 of its frame fitted with a grip handle 11.
  • said pivoting segment 412 is provided with a relief element 8, which is shown more specifically in figs. 4A and 4B .
  • the relief element 8 has its rear end located below the conveyor line 6 bearing on a forward edge of the bagging counter (in other words, on the bagging counter's structural elements or pedestal, not shown in the figures) and its forward end coupled with the pivoting segment 412 of the belt conveyor's 4 frame.
  • Figs. 4A and 4B illustrate a hinge point 41 c (9c) for the frame of the belt conveyor 4 used as the folding conveyor 9, said hinge point being between the stationary frame segment 41 b (9b) and the pivoting frame segment 41 a (9a).
  • the hinge point 41 c (9c) of the belt conveyor's frame 41 is located above a straight line L interconnecting the axles of the motor 41 b and the reversing roll 41 a.
  • FIG. 4B depicts operation of the relief element 8 as turning the pivoting segment 412 of the folding conveyor's 4 frame is started from the plane T of the conveyor line 6 to an angle (upward).
  • the moment of force M depends on a distance between a straight line co-directional with the relief element's longitudinal axis and the hinge point 9c and, as depicted in fig.
  • the distance (A, B or C) is at its maximum at the start of the motion when the direction of the gas spring's longitudinal axis deviates most from the direction of the belt conveyor's pivoting segment 412, diminishing as the direction of the relief element's 8 longitudinal axis approaches the direction of the pivoting frame segment 412, whereby the frame has been turned 90 degrees relative to the conveyor line's plane T.
  • Another benefit gained thereby is that the resistance of a gas spring in the process of pushing the pivoting frame segment downward is at its minimum as the pivoting frame segment 412 is at an angle of about 90 degrees relative to the plane T of the conveyor line 6.
  • the pivoting segment 412 of the frame 41 of the folding conveyor 4 which lies on top of the opening 70 between the cashier counter 2 and the bagging counter 3 of the conveyor line 6, will be turned.
  • Said frame segment 412 is turned by means of the grip handle 11 and the relief element 8 from the hinge point 41 c upwards.
  • the endless belt 43 of the folding conveyor 4 slackens at the same time, nor does the driving power of the drum motor 41 b transmit any longer to the belt 43.
  • the opening has become the gateway 7 whose width in the direction of the conveyor line 6 is approximately equal to the distance of the folding belt's hinge 41 c from the forward edge of the cashier counter 2.
  • the conveyor line 6 is activated in a reverse order by pressing the pivoting segment 41 a of the frame 41 to flushness with the conveyor line's plane T, whereby the endless belt 43 tightens and the driving power of the motor 41 b is again transmitted to the belt 43.
  • At least the drum motor 41 b of the folding conveyor is running all the time while making the opening 7 in the conveyor line by folding the pivoting segment 412 of the folding conveyor's 4 frame upward from the conveyor line's plane T.
  • the conveyor line motor is also running all the time while closing the opening 7 in the conveyor line by folding the pivoting segment 412 of the folding conveyor's 4 frame back to a parallel relationship with the conveyor line's plane T.
  • the drum motor driving the conveyor belt 53 is usually kept running while making the opening 7 in the conveyor line. Operation of the conveyor belt is monitored with a separate sensor (not shown in the figures); once the merchandise present on the conveyor belt has arrived in a suitable position on the conveyor belt, for example in an end section of the conveyor belt 53 adjacent to the opening 7, the conveyor belt will be stopped by switching off said drum motor.
  • FIG. 5 There is still illustrated in fig. 5 how the invention enables the establishment of a compact space arrangement 1.
  • the figure shows a cashier counter 2 and a bagging counter 3, as well as a conveyor line 6 interconnecting the cashier counter 2 and the bagging counter 3, wherein a belt conveyor on top of the cashier counter 2 or the bagging counter 3 is the above-described folding conveyor 9.
  • an opening 70 having a specific width in the direction of the conveyor line 6.
  • the opening 70 is convertible into a gateway 7 by turning a pivoting end 9a of the frame of the folding conveyor 9, as described above.
  • a cashier's station 12 has been defined by permanent and temporary walls 13; 13a, 13b and 13c, such that the customer has no access to the cashier's side of the conveyor line.
  • the cashier's station is in this case defined on the one hand by the conveyor line 6 and on the other hand by the walls 13; 13a, 13b, 13c interconnecting the cashier counter 2 and the bagging counter 3 in an arc.
  • the gateway 7 the only access to the cashier's station 12 is provided by the gateway 7 to be established in the conveyor line 6.
  • Such a space arrangement 1 also enables for example the permanent wall 13 to be brought to the intimate proximity of or even to the attachment with the cashier counter and the bagging counter, in which case the cashier's station 12 will be defined by said walls, the conveyor line, the cashier counter and the bagging counter.
  • a door 14 shown in the figures as opening into the cashier's station 12 is not necessarily present in all space arrangements.
