Definitions

  • the invention relates to a goods delivery device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such goods dispensers are used in stores of department stores, such as supermarkets.
  • the DE 10 2005 049 193 A1 shows a device for dispensing food.
  • a specially shaped output plate is proposed, which presses a product in the goods issue area when actuated.
  • the DE 202 11 140 U1 discloses a vending machine comprising a plurality of goods shafts in which individual goods are stored one above the other.
  • the goods shafts each have a bottom plate, which experiences a force in the direction of the goods issue area via a spring.
  • the top product is thereby pressed against a stop plate, which serves all goods shafts alike.
  • the vending machine also has a goods issue area over which all goods shafts can be reached simultaneously.
  • the US 2 397 403 A shows a vending machine for chilled or frozen food.
  • the goods are stored within a manhole and conveyed by a spring against gravity to a goods output tray.
  • the DE 1 810 837 A shows a bag container for dispensing tablets or the like.
  • the tablets are stored within a shaft and conveyed by a spring against gravity to an output tray.
  • the tablets are removed from the dispensing area via a hinged lid.
  • the EP 1 380 238 A2 shows an integrated in a checkout goods display furniture.
  • the goods are stored on a pyramid-shaped shelf under a grate hood.
  • the WO 0124124 A2 shows a goods dispenser for a vending machine.
  • the goods stored in a goods shaft are guided with a rotatably mounted rotary body to a goods issue area.
  • the rotary body contains for it Recesses, in which the goods, here box-shaped products, must slide in independently.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a robust and reliable goods dispensing device.
  • the goods issue device proposed here comprises at least one goods shaft.
  • the goods well has a substantially cuboid shape and comprises a movable bottom plate, which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the shaft. On the bottom plate, the individual goods, one above the other, arranged.
  • the goods shaft opens into a goods issue area. From the goods issue area, the goods located in the goods shaft can be removed one after the other.
  • the goods issue area is accessible via a flap.
  • the flap is pivotally mounted. When swiveling the flap, a single product is detected by the same and pushed out of the goods issue area, so that a customer can remove the goods.
  • the goods shaft has a cuboid shape and comprises an inner, displaceable in the direction of the goods issue area bottom plate.
  • the bottom plate At the bottom plate is at the end of a coil spring, attached.
  • the other end of the spring is attached to the goods well in the vicinity of the goods issue area, whereby the bottom plate experiences a force in the direction of the goods issue area. Since the individual goods are stacked on the bottom plate, they also experience a force in the direction of Goods output range. An uncontrolled pushing out of the individual goods is prevented by the closing flap.
  • the flap which closes the goods issue area, is formed of a flat piece whose ends are bent toward each other, so that the flap has substantially the shape of a half-cylinder. At one end of the flap, a handle is formed over which the customer can swing the flap up or out.
  • the goods issuing device can be integrated into a checkout counter of a department store.
  • the scarce storage space in the checkout area in particular the storage space below and behind the goods conveyor belt, can be optimally utilized.
  • the goods may also be tobacco pouches or other geometrically indeterminate goods, such as packaged electronics.
  • the goods issuing device can be combined with a tobacco machine.
  • a suitable Tabakwarenautomat is for example from the WO 2011088841 A1 known.
  • Such a tobacco machine is also integrated in the counter of a department store.
  • a counter may be located near the goods issue area, indicating the number of goods in the shaft.
  • the counter can be mechanical or digital.
  • a mechanical version is useful if you want to operate the goods dispenser independently of the mains. Since the goods issue function works purely mechanically, this is quite possible. As a result, the goods issuing device is also particularly environmentally friendly.
  • the flap closing the goods issue area is preferably designed to be transparent. This allows the customer to see the goods directly and select accordingly.
  • the individual goods issue areas do not have to be labeled with the product name and can optionally be equipped with different goods without having to change or adapt a label.
  • the transparent flap is made of polycarbonate. As a result, the flap is made stable and scratch-resistant. But also laminated glass or other transparent materials are quite suitable. In the case of tobacco goods in particular, such a presentation of goods offers itself, since the packaging design often changes.
  • the goods issue device In the goods shaft of the goods issuing device, individual goods, stacked one above the other, can be stored. For this purpose, the individual goods are placed on the bottom plate of the shaft and pressed against the spring force into the shaft. Beforehand, the flap is to be swung out of the goods issue area and then swung in again when the goods are inserted, so that the bottom plate of the lateral surface of the Flap is released. This process is repeated until the goods bay is full. The filling process is quasi inverse for goods removal.
  • the customer can also swing the flap back to the goods issue area, as a result of which the upward movement of a product into the goods issue area described above also takes place.
  • the longitudinal sides of the goods shaft are bent inwards in the direction of the goods issue area and act as retaining elements for the goods which rise upwards by the spring force.
  • the customer can remove the goods from this position one after the other. If a flap is provided, the customer can remove a product after opening the flap.
  • the goods underneath move into the goods issue area and are again braked by the retaining elements.
  • the filling process is again reversed for removal.
  • FIG. 1 shows the goods issue area 2 of a goods issue device 1 according to the invention.
  • the issue area 2 is closed by a transparent flap 3.
  • a merchandise 4 lying in the goods shaft at the top for waiting to be issued.
  • FIG. 2 which function the flap 3 takes in the goods issue.
  • the flap consists in this embodiment of a 2 mm thick, transparent polycarbonate plate, which has a curved shape.
  • the curved shape has the shape of a half-cylinder with an outer circumferential surface 8.
  • the one end of the flap 3 forms an edge 6, the function of which will be described in more detail below.
  • a handle 7 for the customer formed which is designed in this embodiment as an arcuate recess in the lateral surface 8.
  • the jacket surface 8 is guided over the article 4 'located below the issued article 4, whereby a direct advancement of a new article 4' into the article exit region 2 is prevented. Only when the flap 3 is pivoted back into the goods issue area 2, the new product 4 'can move up.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a goods shaft 10 of the invention can be seen.
  • the shaft has essentially a cuboid shape, wherein on the narrow sides in each case a slot 9 is introduced, through which a fastening element 11 protrudes, that is connected to a bottom plate (not visible here), on which the individual goods are stacked on top of each other.
  • a fastening element 12 is also provided on the narrow sides.
  • a coil spring 13 is tensioned. By the coil spring engages the bottom plate to a force acting in the direction of the goods issue area 2 - ie against gravity -.
  • FIGS. 4a + b show an alternative embodiment of a goods shaft 10 of the goods dispensing device 1.
  • the back of the goods shaft 10 is provided with a slot 9 through which the fastening element 11 of the bottom plate 14 projects outwardly.
  • a further fastening element 12 is stationary appropriate.
  • a coil spring 13 is attached, which pulls the bottom plate 14 to the goods issue area 2.
  • the goods issue area 2 is limited by sheet edges 15.
  • the goods 4 can not be pushed beyond these edges 15 out by the spring 13 upwards.
  • FIG. 5 shows a goods dispensing device 1 according to the invention, which is integrated in a checkout counter 16 of a department store.
