Definitions
- the present invention refers to a food display counter according to claim 1.
- Some of these counters or displays are provided with transparent walls made of glass or synthetic material and a support plane on which there are displayed the products offered for sale. At times, the rear wall of the counter is open so that the seller may have free access to the chamber containing the products and directly picking the product selected by the purchaser, wherein in these counters it is required to cover and protect the displayed products so as to prevent the pollution thereof due to insects, dust and the like.
- trolleys containing foods of various types and delicacies.
- These trolleys typically comprise a transparent cover made of synthetic material, hinged at the ends thereof to the structure of the trolley, hence, the compartment containing the products is more protected and the cover is opened and closed manually only when picking the food product and closed immediately thereafter.
- cover is not ideal for shop counters extended length-wise, like it is at times required for pastry shops and ice cream shops, which should have panels that can be opened, respectively larger and heavier, hence not removable manually.
- Document US 2011/0080075 A1 discloses a small transformable food display device having two lateral tubular support structures, the display device being moveable manually from any resting surface or support table to the other.
- the display device has adjustable panels and it can be used both in case of a restaurant, i.e. with cafeteria mode-attendant service, same case applying for example to a bar or self-service, i.e. buffet mode, hence said transformable food display device may be used at will both in restaurants as well as bars, cafés, cafeterias and the like.
- the proposed transformable and manually moveable display device has a plurality of transparent panels associated to two lateral tubular support structures 420 ( figures 4A, 4B ), two lateral hinge-like mechanisms 425, as well as fixed lateral panel 410 and a slidable lateral panel 435.
- the lateral components 325 ( fig. 3B ) and 425 ( fig. 4A, 4B ), having a substantially L-shaped configuration do not have guides with trolleys orthogonal to each other but they are simple hinge mechanisms adapted to determine a movement or rotation of an associated mobile panel from a horizontal position to a vertical position and vice versa.
- Hinge mechanisms 425 of the indicated type are provided in various illustrated embodiments, such as for example indicated with the reference number 525 in figure 5A .
- Document FR1392334A illustrates a refrigerator showcase open from above with removable cover.
- the refrigerator showcase has a cover formed by a fixed upper wall, limited by the rear wall, it extends over the entire width of the cabinet and stops at about half the upper opening, as well as a mobile cover plate, wherein the upper edges of the lateral walls have tracks on which the mobile cover plate can be moved from a rear position, freeing the opening of the cabinet, to a front position which closes the opening.
- Document EP 2332447 A1 discloses a refrigerator showcase for ice creams with low energy consumption and with an improved protection of the products contained therein.
- Document 29517371 U1 discloses a fridge for displaying and/or selling ice creams, frozen products or the like, in which to the upper opening there is associated a substantially plate-like cover element moveable between a closing position and an opening position, with associated restoration means adapted to automatically lead the cover element to the closing position, wherein to the cover element there are associated delay means capable of braking the closing movement in the final step thereof.
- This invention aims at providing a food display counter capable of overcoming the drawbacks or limits of the prior art and meeting the requirements regarding display counters of large dimensions.
- the counter according to the invention may have a refrigerated or non-refrigerated chamber for accommodating food products and it shall also allow solutions particularly extended length-wise still providing a reliable, smooth and continuous opening/closing movement, requiring little space, which can be executed automatically and allowing maximum ease of access to the displayed products with the maximum safety with respect to the seller and clients.
- the cover of the counter made of transparent material like glass or crystal, is provided horizontal on the upper part of the counter and formed by two adjacent and coplanar panels in the closed position, one of whose panels is fixed and the other is mobile and moveable while opening partly above the fixed panel in horizontal position, thus on the mobile panel in opening position it is possible to temporarily place the purchased products awaiting the weighing and packaging thereof.
- a further advantage lies in the fact that the display counter is directly associated on one side to a cabinet for housing a weighing device, for example of the type with slidable support surface substantially flush-mounted, with associated a cash register device, for example of the integrated electronic type, and a packaging area, this also allowing rationalising the sales process, requiring less installation surface with respect to the separate weighing points, cash register and packaging as well as requiring less personnel.
- the opening of the counter occurs like a longitudinal slot over the entire length of the counter and it can be obtained, as the closure, electrically through a button control that is easily and quickly accessible to the seller at only one or both ends of the counter, hence the opening/closing times are established by the seller alone and only for the period of time strictly required to pick the products, wherein the time for moving the mobile panel is relatively short hence also obtaining a considerable saving of energy as regards the refrigerated counters.
- the devices for moving the mobile panel are housed inside the counter as a blind integral part thereof without jeopardising the aesthetic aspect of the counter and limiting the volume of the chamber for displaying the products in a substantially marginal manner due to their limited thickness.
- the functional interposition, according to the invention, of an oblique rectilinear cam between two guide arrangements orthogonal to each other allows obtaining a smooth and continuous translation movement of the mobile panel in a horizontal position along an oblique raising/lowering path with a compact construction of the lateral actuation or control devices for controlling the opening/closing, hence the fixing of these control devices on the sideboards of the counter reduces - only in a substantially marginal manner - the volume of the chamber for containing the products, and this also in case of counters with length, for example, 2.160 m and with a width of about 1 m, in which the weight of the mobile crystal panel is of about 30 kg and the weight of said lateral devices for controlling the opening/closing is of about 25 kg.
- the display counter is indicated in its entirety with 10 and it substantially comprises a support framework 12 and a containment vat 14, refrigerated in the example, which is delimited by a front vertical sheet 16, i.e. the client side, for example made of glass or crystal, which extends over the entire length of the counter 10 and is connected at its ends to the heads or sideboards 18 of the counter, which extend over the entire width of the counter 10.
- the rear side 20 of the counter i.e. the seller side, for example made of steel, has - at the upper part - a folded end 20a extending horizontally and coplanar with the upper sides of the sideboards 18 also made of steel.
- the counter 10 has - at the upper part - a transparent horizontal cover, for example made of glass or crystal, formed by a fixed longitudinal panel 22 and a mobile longitudinal panel 24, coplanar to each other, wherein the fixed panel is fixed at its ends to the sides 18, while the mobile panel 24 is supported, in the illustrated example, at its ends respectively by a plate 50, figs 3 and 4 , for supporting the mobile panel 24, wherein in the closing position of the counter said mobile panel 24 is coplanar in the horizontal surface of said fixed panel 22 and the upper horizontal folding 20a of the rear side 20 of the counter 10.
- the movement of the mobile panel 24 to its opening position i.e.

Description
- The present invention refers to a food display counter according to claim 1.
- As known, in shops, supermarkets, pastry shops, ice cream shops, chocolate shops, food shops, restaurants and the like, there are usually installed small counters or glasses with a chamber for housing/displaying food products which is at times refrigerated, in particular for pastry shop, ice cream shop, frozen food products and the like.
- Some of these counters or displays are provided with transparent walls made of glass or synthetic material and a support plane on which there are displayed the products offered for sale. At times, the rear wall of the counter is open so that the seller may have free access to the chamber containing the products and directly picking the product selected by the purchaser, wherein in these counters it is required to cover and protect the displayed products so as to prevent the pollution thereof due to insects, dust and the like.
- Likewise, in restaurants there are known counters or displays mobile on wheels, or trolleys, containing foods of various types and delicacies. These trolleys typically comprise a transparent cover made of synthetic material, hinged at the ends thereof to the structure of the trolley, hence, the compartment containing the products is more protected and the cover is opened and closed manually only when picking the food product and closed immediately thereafter. However, such construction is not ideal for shop counters extended length-wise, like it is at times required for pastry shops and ice cream shops, which should have panels that can be opened, respectively larger and heavier, hence not removable manually.
- In addition, there are food trolleys for restaurants in which a dome-shaped cover opens and closes in a hinge-like manner through an electrical motor.

figure 5A . - In the various embodiments of transformable and manually moveable display devices disclosed by documents
US 2011/0080075 A1 there are no independent guides orthogonal to each other. - Document
FR1392334A EP 2332447 A1 discloses a refrigerator showcase for ice creams with low energy consumption and with an improved protection of the products contained therein. It is provided with two thermal-insulating transparent panels arranged over basins 4 and 5, on which they can be extended to cover the entire refrigerating space, or superimposed towards the external edge to free the internal row of basins and, in this position, if required, they can be raised by rotation, to allow access to all basins. The movements may be carried out manually or through driving means. Document 29517371 U1 discloses a fridge for displaying and/or selling ice creams, frozen products or the like, in which to the upper opening there is associated a substantially plate-like cover element moveable between a closing position and an opening position, with associated restoration means adapted to automatically lead the cover element to the closing position, wherein to the cover element there are associated delay means capable of braking the closing movement in the final step thereof. - This invention aims at providing a food display counter capable of overcoming the drawbacks or limits of the prior art and meeting the requirements regarding display counters of large dimensions.
- The counter according to the invention may have a refrigerated or non-refrigerated chamber for accommodating food products and it shall also allow solutions particularly extended length-wise still providing a reliable, smooth and continuous opening/closing movement, requiring little space, which can be executed automatically and allowing maximum ease of access to the displayed products with the maximum safety with respect to the seller and clients.
- The aforementioned task is solved, according to the invention, through a food display counter having the characteristics of claim 1.
- Further advantageous embodiments of the proposed counter can be observed from the dependent claims.
- Various advantages are obtained through the display counter according to the invention.
- Firstly, the cover of the counter, made of transparent material like glass or crystal, is provided horizontal on the upper part of the counter and formed by two adjacent and coplanar panels in the closed position, one of whose panels is fixed and the other is mobile and moveable while opening partly above the fixed panel in horizontal position, thus on the mobile panel in opening position it is possible to temporarily place the purchased products awaiting the weighing and packaging thereof.
- Regarding thus, a further advantage lies in the fact that the display counter is directly associated on one side to a cabinet for housing a weighing device, for example of the type with slidable support surface substantially flush-mounted, with associated a cash register device, for example of the integrated electronic type, and a packaging area, this also allowing rationalising the sales process, requiring less installation surface with respect to the separate weighing points, cash register and packaging as well as requiring less personnel.
- The opening of the counter occurs like a longitudinal slot over the entire length of the counter and it can be obtained, as the closure, electrically through a button control that is easily and quickly accessible to the seller at only one or both ends of the counter, hence the opening/closing times are established by the seller alone and only for the period of time strictly required to pick the products, wherein the time for moving the mobile panel is relatively short hence also obtaining a considerable saving of energy as regards the refrigerated counters.
- The devices for moving the mobile panel are housed inside the counter as a blind integral part thereof without jeopardising the aesthetic aspect of the counter and limiting the volume of the chamber for displaying the products in a substantially marginal manner due to their limited thickness.
- The conformation of the counters according to the invention with the new disclosing position with coplanar horizontal panels is obtained parallelepiped-shaped, thus facilitating a quick and complete view of the displayed products just like the quick cleaning of the counter.
- The functional interposition, according to the invention, of an oblique rectilinear cam between two guide arrangements orthogonal to each other allows obtaining a smooth and continuous translation movement of the mobile panel in a horizontal position along an oblique raising/lowering path with a compact construction of the lateral actuation or control devices for controlling the opening/closing, hence the fixing of these control devices on the sideboards of the counter reduces - only in a substantially marginal manner - the volume of the chamber for containing the products, and this also in case of counters with length, for example, 2.160 m and with a width of about 1 m, in which the weight of the mobile crystal panel is of about 30 kg and the weight of said lateral devices for controlling the opening/closing is of about 25 kg.
- Further characteristics, advantages and details of the food display counter of the present invention shall be more apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment, illustrated by way of example in the attached drawings, which are schematically shown, in different scales for better clarity of illustration:
-

figures 1 and2 the display counter according to the invention is indicated in its entirety with 10 and it substantially comprises asupport framework 12 and acontainment vat 14, refrigerated in the example, which is delimited by a frontvertical sheet 16, i.e. the client side, for example made of glass or crystal, which extends over the entire length of thecounter 10 and is connected at its ends to the heads orsideboards 18 of the counter, which extend over the entire width of thecounter 10. Therear side 20 of the counter, i.e. the seller side, for example made of steel, has - at the upper part - a folded end 20a extending horizontally and coplanar with the upper sides of thesideboards 18 also made of steel. Thecounter 10 has - at the upper part - a transparent horizontal cover, for example made of glass or crystal, formed by a fixedlongitudinal panel 22 and a mobilelongitudinal panel 24, coplanar to each other, wherein the fixed panel is fixed at its ends to thesides 18, while themobile panel 24 is supported, in the illustrated example, at its ends respectively by aplate 50,figs 3 and 4 , for supporting themobile panel 24, wherein in the closing position of the counter saidmobile panel 24 is coplanar in the horizontal surface of saidfixed panel 22 and the upper horizontal folding 20a of therear side 20 of thecounter 10. The movement of themobile panel 24 to its opening position, i.e. towards the client sidefig 2 , obviously allows the seller complete access into thevat 14, which receives - on the bottom 14a thereof - the food products to be sold (not illustrated), while beneath said bottom 14a there is housed the counter refrigeration system (not illustrated) if provided for. - Furthermore,
fig 2 shows that in the position of opening themobile panel 24 the latter is arranged parallel above thefixed panel 22 with a small distance D of, for example, 8 - 10 cm. - According to the invention, each of the two provided
lateral actuation devices 27, for opening/closing themobile panel 24, is housed on asupport sheet 28, which is fixed internally respectively to asideboard 18 of thecounter 10, and it separately comprises: - an
electrical actuator 30 fixed to theorthogonal base 28a of thesupport panel 28, theactuator 30 extending along saidsupport panel 28 and having aslide 44 supporting - at the upper part - adriving roller 40,fig. 5 , through asupport 42 with aplate 42a, - a
horizontal guide 32 fixed to thesupport sheet 28 and extending along the same above saidelectrical actuator 30, - at least one
trolley 34 slidable on saidhorizontal guide 32 and fixed to a plate-like slider 36, the slider having - at the lower part - aseat 38 for housing saiddriving roller 40 and being longitudinally translatable parallel to saidsupport sheet 28, - two
vertical guides 46 extending - spaced from each other and fixed on said slider 36 - on the side opposite to that supporting the at least onetrolley 34 slidable on thehorizontal guide 32, - at least one
trolley 48 slidable on eachvertical guide 46 and fixed to asupport plate 50 parallel with respect to saidslider 36 and supporting themobile panel 24, wherein on the side facing towards saidslider 36 theplate 50 has apin 56 which supports abearing 58 adapted to roll, during the opening and closing movement of themobile panel 24, on the profiled edge of an obliquelinear cam 60 fixed to thesheet 28 and adapted to determine an oblique raising movement ofsaid plate 50 for supporting themobile panel 24 from a lower or closing position of saidmobile panel 24 with - translation of the slide of the
actuator 30 in a longitudinal direction, or a lowering oblique movement of saidsupport plate 50 from an upper or opening position to the lower or closing position, with translation of theslide 44 of theactuator 30 in the other direction of movement. - The two
actuators 30 are referred to by the LEFS 32B-500-R36P1 serial numbers and they are manufactured by the Italian company SMCI. - The two
actuators 30 are connected synchronised and the movements of theslide 44 occur, for example, by actuating the switches 18A and 18B provided for, for example either on onesideboard 18 or, in case of long counters measuring, for example, 2 or more meters, on bothsideboards 18, so as to allow easy access by the seller on one or the other end of the counter. - In practice said
cam 60 is fixed to thesupport sheet 28 in a known manner by interposingspacers 62, to allow the free rolling of thebearing 58 on the thickness of the oblique side 60a of thecam 60. The latter has - at one end - ahousing cavity 64, in which there is arranged thebearing 58 in abutment with themobile panel 24 in closing position. On the other end, thecam 60 has aprojection 66 forming an element for stopping the translation movement of thebearing 58. - In order to initially facilitate the lifting movement for the exit of the
bearing 58 from itshollow seat 64, according to the invention there is advantageously provided a support and elastic thrust device, formed by ahelical spring 68 operating in expansion and fitted on a vertical stem 70. This stem 70 is vertically guided along abushing 74, traverses an L-shaped support 72, fixed to the side of theslider 36 facing towards theplate 50 for supporting themobile panel 24, wherein saidhelical spring 68 is supported - at the lower part - on an abutment support 68a also fixed to theslider 36, as observable fromfigures 4 and5 . - In addition,
figures 3-6 show that below thelinear guide 32 to thesheet 28 there is fixed an open C-shapedchannel 76, which serves for housing power supply cables of the associatedelectrical actuator 30, wherein to saidchannel 76 there is for example associated a shapedsupport plate 78, which is fixed to thesupport sheet 28 and allows an anchorage of the sheath of said cables. - In the illustrated example the fixing of the end of the
mobile panel 24 to therespective support plate 50 occurs through twoscrews 54 which traverse twoholes 54a in the mobile panel 24 (fig. 2 ) and they are screwed in threadedholes 52a (fig. 5 ) provided for in aplate 52 fixed - at the upper part - to thesupport plate 50 or formed by a folding of the latter. Regarding the twolateral control devices 27 there should be observed the mutually parallel positioning between thesupport sheet 28 with the obliquerectilinear cam 60, the plate-like slider 36 and theplate 50 supporting themobile panel 24, whose positioning allows a particularly narrow and compact embodiment of saidlateral control devices 27. - In addition,
fig 7 shows that on thesideboards 18 there are provided two switches 18a for controlling theactuators 30 for opening/closing themobile panel 24, wherein in case of shorter counters it will be sufficient to provide only one switch 18a for an easy control of the mobile panel by the seller. Two safety switches for the instantaneous stopping of theactuators 30 are indicated with 18b. - Lastly a
cabinet 80 is indicated infig. 7 with dashed line for housing adevice 81 for weighing the purchased products and acash register device 82, wherein adjacent and between saiddevices - The opening and closing operation of the counter according to the invention can now be easily observed from the description and the drawings.
- Starting from the closing position of the
mobile panel 24 of thecounter 10 observable fromfigure 1 , the opening of saidmobile panel 24 is activated by the seller by pressing a switch 18a for the electrical supply of the twoactuators 30. - For the sake of simplicity, hereinafter there is described the movement of only one of the two
lateral control devices 27, whose movements shall occur synchronised. - By supplying the
actuator 30 itsslide 44 shall start a longitudinal travel, during which through the drivingroller 40 the plate-like slider 36 shall similarly perform a longitudinal translation parallel to thesupport sheet 28 by sliding along thehorizontal guide 32 of itstrolley 34. - During this translation, there shall also occur a rolling of the bearing 58 on the oblique portion 60a of the
cam 60, with the ensuing progressive lifting of thesupport plate 50 in the vertical direction according to an inclined trajectory following the sliding of thetrolleys 48 along the respectivevertical guides 46, wherein the initial rolling movement of thebearing 58 outside itsrounded seat 64 shall be advantageously facilitated by the action of thespring 68 which, initially entirely compressed, expands progressively. Following the connection of theslider 36 with thehorizontal guide 32 through thetrolley 34, and the connection of thevertical guides 46 of theslider 36 with theplate 50 through thetrolleys 48, as well as the connection of theroller bearing 58 with theplate 50 through thepin 56, wherein the longitudinal movement of theslide 44 leads to a progressing lifting of themobile panel 24 and the movement thereof towards the client's side, i.e. advancement with respect to the underlying fixedpanel 22 which shall be practically surmounted by themobile panel 24 in its final opening position,figure 2 , for a limited distance D measuring, for example, 8 - 10 cm. The sequence of the movements of the various components during the opening step described further above shall occur in an inverted manner for the lowering or closing movement of themobile panel 24. - In the case of the variant of the counter according to
fig. 7 , after purchasing the product selected by the client said product is arranged, for example by the seller himself/herself, on the adjacent weighingdevice 81 and the electroniccash register device 82 shall issue the relative sales receipt. From the structural and functional description outlined further above it can be observed that the food display counter according to the present invention allows efficiently solving the previously described task and as well as attaining the aforementioned advantages. - The invention has been described with particular reference to a large counter (for example with length measuring, for example, 2,160 mm and with a width measuring, for example, 999.7 mm), in particular with the refrigerated chamber, for ice cream shops pastry shops and the like. Those skilled in the art may introduce various modifications and variants, as well as the use of technically equivalent devices or components, and propose simplifications, maintaining the main teaching of the invention i.e. providing an oblique cam associated to the movement of the plate supporting the mobile panel and operatively connected with a horizontal arrangement of the horizontal guide and an arrangement of vertical guides with relative sliding trolleys without departing from the scope of the present invention, as outlined by the claims that follow.
