Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The invention relates to a receptacle for electronic shelf labels (ESL), a combination of receptacle and an electronic price tag, and a goods shelf with at least one receptacle and / or a combination of receptacle and price tag.

In retail, in particular in food retail, such as supermarkets, it is desirable, and in some countries even required by law, that the price indicated on a price tag on the goods shelf matches the price recorded at the checkout. In order to keep the effort for updating prices on the shelves within limits, ESLs are increasingly being used that are controlled via radio, infrared or WLAN in order to always display the correct price.

STATE OF THE ART

From the DE 10 2015 200 330 A1 a receptacle for electronic price tags is known in which a price tag is fixed in the receptacle by means of a spring.

the JP 2001 312221 A shows a fastening device with which a holding device for an ESL is fastened to a shelf. The fastening device has wedge-shaped projections on a first, upper part and on a second, lower part, which are clamped between extensions of the shelf.

the WO 2013/121091 A1 discloses a fastening device for an ESL, the ESL being arranged in a frame which in turn is fastened to a shelf. The price tag is fixed with a pin which is inserted through a wall of the price tag.

A display module for an ESL is from the EP 0 683 478 A2 known. The display module is received in a rail, the rail having hooks on the rear for mounting on a shelf. A protective cover is also provided.

Another holding device for an ESL is from the EP 1 990 790 A1 known.

Furthermore, from the EP 1 314 382 A1 an ESL with a built-in battery is known. Practice shows that such a battery must be replaced within one to two years, so that it means a considerable effort to replace the batteries of numerous existing ESLs.

the DE 29 15 249 A1 relates to a button for message display, which is pressed by a spring element from the inside against a cover. However, the spring element is not separated from the key, and the key is not received in a rail. Furthermore, from the DE 101 40 175 A1 a liquid crystal display, in particular for a motor vehicle, which is supplied with power via a clamp, and in which a spring element is arranged for connection to the heating current source between one leg of the clamp and a circuit board. The clamp can encompass a section of smaller thickness, of which, however, it is unclear where it is located on the substrate.

the US 8,698,606 B2 , the FR 2 765 018 A1 and the GB 2 278 847 A show goods display systems in which a power supply is provided in strips along a rail. However, the associated ESLs are usually clipped on, so that fixing is not sufficient in many cases. In particular, there is a risk that a price tag will inadvertently come off when a shopping trolley or foot is bumped into it.

Finally from the U.S. 3,862,506 a label holder for a drawer is known which directly receives a paper label which is pressed against the front of the drawer by means of two spring elements.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Against this background, the invention is based on the object of creating a receptacle for electronic price tags and an electronic price tag which are visually appealing and ensure that electronic price tags are securely held.

This problem is solved on the one hand by the subject matter of claim 1.

Accordingly, the receptacle according to the invention has, on the one hand, a rail which has at least two projections directed towards one another on a front side, usually directed towards the customer. Furthermore, at least one spring element is provided which is suitable for pressing an ESL from the inside of the rail against the projections. In the recorded state, the ESL is thus protected by the projections described, which can have a small thickness. According to one embodiment, the ESL can be set back by the thickness of the projections in the picked-up state and in this respect does not protrude from the rail, so that the risk of damage and / or loosening is considerably reduced. According to a further embodiment and currently preferred, the ESL and / or the spring element has a recess in its upper and / or lower area which receives the projection and preferably has a depth (measured from the front to the rear with respect to a viewer of the ESL) equal to or less than the thickness of the protrusion measured in the same direction. This means that the predominant front surface of the ESL and / or the spring element, so to speak between the recesses, lies in the direction described at the same level as the front surface of the projections, so that the ESL and / or the spring element does not protrude over the projections and damage or loosening can be largely ruled out. In addition, significantly less dirt and dust is deposited in the area of the ESLs. As in the following is described in more detail, the area “next to” any ESLs can also be filled with several of the spring elements described, so that overall a visually appealing, “full-surface” appearance is created. It should also be mentioned that ESLs of various sizes can be accommodated along the rail.

Preferred developments of the receptacle according to the invention are described in the further claims.

The last-mentioned advantage exists in particular for the preferred embodiment in which the spring element rests flat against the rear side of the ESL or the projections. If no ESL is included in the area of the spring element under consideration, the spring element itself lies against the projections on the inside of the rail and "closes" the rail in an advantageous manner, so that unsightly dust and dirt deposits are significantly reduced. If an ESL is received in the area of the spring element under consideration, it is pressed particularly reliably and evenly from the inside against the projections of the rail by the flat contact with the spring element. Alternatively, it is particularly advantageous if the spring element is designed in such a way that, viewed in cross section, it rests punctually or, viewed spatially, along a line on the rear side of the ESL, if cover panels are provided, which in particular with regard to their cross section with the above-described recesses correspond to the ESLs and in this respect ensure the full-surface appearance described above in those areas in which no ESLs are provided. Consequently, all of the features specified below for the ESLs can also be applied accordingly to the cover panels.

Advantageously, the spring element can be set back in the areas in which the projections of the rail are located in the received state, so that the position of the spring element with respect to the rail is precisely defined by means of the resulting shoulders, and also optically appealingly, the spring element is not necessarily set back by the entire thickness of the projections. In this context, it is particularly preferred, as described above, that the recess has a depth which corresponds to the thickness of the projections, so that the front side of the spring element is flush with the front side of the projections. This applies accordingly to the design of the ESL and, if applicable, the cover panels.

In order to facilitate the handling of several spring elements, according to the invention several spring elements are connected to one another by means of a common connection. By installing a correspondingly designed connection with several spring elements formed thereon, the rail can be provided with spring elements over a certain length in an efficient manner.

For the reasons already mentioned, the spring element or the connection preferably essentially has a height that corresponds to the clear height inside the rail. In this way, in the case of the connection, the position of the same, including the spring elements formed thereon, can be precisely defined in the rail.

In the first tests, a shape of the spring element has proven to be advantageous which, viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the rail, is represented as a "C" or a "U" lying on the side. This embodiment of the spring element not according to the invention is used for illustration. Here, the bottom of the U rests against the inside of the projections, and legs of the U that are inclined towards one another provide the spring tension, which presses the spring element from the inside against the projections of the rail. Here, the legs rest on the bottom of the rail and are preferably under a certain pretension when the spring element is received in the rail, even if no ESL is received between the spring element and the projection of the rail.

A design of the spring element as "L" is provided. At least in the area of the bend of the L, the spring element can be widened, and in the area of this bend, the above-mentioned, spatially speaking, linear contact with the ESL can be formed.

It is envisaged that the L-shaped spring element together with the above-mentioned connection essentially results in the shape of a V, in which the longer leg of the L forms one leg of the V, and the other leg of the V in the assembled state on the rear wall of the Rail is in contact. The spring property is ensured by the kink or bend between the two legs of the V.

In particular for the embodiment described above, steel is currently preferred as the material for the spring element and / or the connection. However, plastic or another suitable material is also conceivable for this purpose. Plastic is currently preferred for the C-shaped spring element.

A design of the spring element that is narrower (measured in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the rail) than a price tag to be included is currently particularly preferred. In this case, the width of the price tag is preferably a multiple of the width of the spring element, in the case of several spring elements connected to one another, plus half the distance in each case to the spring elements adjacent on both sides. As a result, a price tag viewed in the picked-up state is pressed against the rail from the inside by several spring elements, and further spring elements are located directly next to the picked-up price tag. As a result, lateral guidance of the price tag is achieved in an advantageous manner, and tilting of the same is prevented. Furthermore, an undesired shifting of ESLs is advantageously not possible.

In an advantageous manner, the spring element can also be designed so that it, for example in a corresponding housing, accommodates a battery which, in particular in the area of the projections, is in contact with suitable current conductors formed on the rail by means of contacts directed towards the projections. As a result, to a certain extent, a single battery can be used for numerous ESLs accommodated in a rail under consideration, and the number of batteries to be exchanged in a shop is considerably reduced. To accommodate a battery, several cover panels can also be combined with one another in such a way that a battery tag is created with a width that corresponds to a whole-part multiple of the width of a cover panel. It should be mentioned that the measure of accommodating a single battery in a rail and using it to supply all ESLs accommodated in the rail is an innovation independent of the details of the inventive measure, but which can be combined with all of the features described above and below .

The described embodiment of using the spring element or at least one cover plate to accommodate a battery for all ESLs of a rail can be combined in an advantageous manner with an embodiment of the rail which has current conductors running along its length, preferably over its entire length. These can advantageously be formed on the inside of the projections, against which the individual ESLs are pressed, so that contacts formed there of the respective ESL can reliably be brought into electrical contact with the current conductors. The current conductors can, for example, be designed as metal strips.

Since the rail is anyway (according to preferred embodiments) equipped with power lines for supplying the individual ESLs, the rail can also have at least one lighting means that can advantageously be used to illuminate goods arranged below the rail.

In certain applications, the rail can be connected to a suitable power supply, such as a low-voltage source or a photovoltaic device, for supplying the individual ESLs and possibly the lighting means with electricity. The photovoltaic device, for example in the form of panels, can be mounted in the upper area of a goods shelf and absorb the energy from the interior lighting of the shop. Any batteries mentioned can also be designed as accumulators in order to be continuously charged by one of the power supplies mentioned.

The task is preferably used with an electronic price tag which has a flat front for displaying a price and / or product information. Accordingly, there is at least one recess or recess provided on the lower and / or upper edge on the front or a separate mounting area of the ESL, which recess extends in the lateral direction over the entire front surface. As already described above, it is possible, with the aid of the cutouts provided on the price tag, to arrange the price tag securely and in a visually appealing manner in the receptacle according to the invention.

Accordingly, in the context of a combination of the receptacle with at least one price tag, it is preferred that the depth of the recess or recess corresponds essentially to the thickness of the projection on the rail.

For the arrangement of the electronic price tag in the receptacle, it is advantageous if the height of the ESL is less than the clear height inside the rail. For the embodiment that has a separate assembly area, this height specification applies to the assembly area with the aid of which it is attached to the rail. The ESL itself, in particular its display area on the front, is, however, preferably larger in this case, in particular made higher than the rail.

It is particularly preferred, in particular in the case that the height of the ESL is significantly less than the clear height inside the rail, that the height of a lower recess of the ESL essentially corresponds to the height of the lower projection on the rail.

Although the receptacle according to the invention and the ESL develop their advantages on their own, it is preferred within the scope of the invention to combine them with numerous ESLs and spring elements as well as optional cover panels and / or to provide at least one rail on a goods shelf in order to achieve all of the advantages mentioned above realize. In particular, the rail of the receptacle according to the invention can be retrofitted on a suitable channel of a shelf or shelf.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

As in Fig. 1 As can be seen, the receptacle 10 according to the invention consists on the one hand of an essentially lying U- or C-shaped rail 12 and at least one spring element 14. The rail 12 can be made of plastic, for example, and attached to the (to the viewer of the Fig. 1 directed and distant from this) ends must be closed. By means of a kind of clip 16, the rail can be attached to existing shelf bases or baskets, in the case shown in two different inclinations, namely 10 degrees and 30 degrees with respect to the vertical. As mentioned, the cross section of the rail 12 is represented as a (laterally lying) U, with a projection 20 being formed on each of the two legs 18, and the two projections facing one another. Preferably, there are essentially right angles both between the projections 20 and the legs 18 and between the legs 18 and the bottom 22 of the rail.

The spring element 14 is in Fig. 1 shown in its "compressed" state in the direction of arrow A. In comparison with Fig. 2 it can be seen that the spring legs 24 have been pressed a little towards one another and in the direction of the bottom 26 of the spring element 14. The spring element 14 can also be made of plastic and, in the example shown, has rounded ends of the spring legs 24 and curves at the transition between the respective spring leg 24 and the bottom 26 of the spring element 14. This will make the transition from the in Fig. 2 "relaxed" position shown in Fig. 1 shown, compressed position.

The exemplary embodiment of the spring element 14 not shown according to the invention also has recesses 28 at the ends of the base 26 located at the legs 24, at which the front surface of the spring element 14 (directed towards the projections 20) is set back in a step-like manner. The surfaces of the recesses 28 and the front surface of the spring element 26 are therefore preferably parallel to one another and preferably flush with one another, so that a flat front surface is created overall. In the case shown, the height of the recesses 28 (measured in the vertical direction) corresponds to the height of the respective projection, so that the respective surface of the recess 28 rests against the inner surface of the projection 20 (directed towards the bottom 22 of the rail). By continuing towards the front (in Fig. 1 right) protruding bottom 26 of the spring element 14, the recess of the bottom relative to the projections 20 can be kept small, and in addition a visually appealing appearance can be achieved. Furthermore, the position of the spring element 14 in the rail is well defined by the recesses described. The spring element 14 is dimensioned such that, starting from the in Fig. 1 The position shown can be rotated a little counterclockwise so that it can be removed first on its underside, over the shorter projection 20, and then completely from the rail.

In the in Fig. 1 However, an ESL (not shown) can be recorded in an advantageous manner. This usually has, like the spring element 14, one along the vertical according to Fig. 1 measured height, which is a little less than the clear height in the rail 12. If the ESL is thus arranged directly between the spring element 14 and the projections 20, and the pressure indicated by A is removed, the spring tension of the spring legs 24 ensures that the ESL is pressed from the inside of the rail against the projections 20 and so far in the rail is added. In this position, it is also due to the projections and the at least slight setback relative to the front side of the projections, as a result of the (in Fig. 1 (measured from left to right) material thickness of the projections protected against damage and loosening.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the projections 20 are also used to supply the ESL with current. For this purpose, on the inner surfaces of the projections not to be seen, along the rail, i. H. perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, provided extending current conductor. In addition, the ESLs have contacts for power consumption in these areas adjacent to the projections. It should also be mentioned that, when viewed from the direction of arrow A, the spring element is essentially rectangular with a width whose multiple essentially corresponds to the width of an ESL to be accommodated. Since an ESL to be received is typically flat on its side facing the spring element 14, the spring element presses the ESL flat from the inside against the projections 20 a full-surface and attractive appearance can be achieved in an advantageous manner.

The spring element 14 can also be referred to as a cover lamella, since it is designed in the manner of a lamella and is comparatively narrow and covers the rail 12, which is open in the initial state. The (perpendicular) to the plane of the drawing Fig. 1 measured width of the spring element can for example be about 17, in particular 17.1 mm, which along the vertical in Fig. 1 measured height at about 43 mm, and the in Fig. 2 The distance to be seen between the point of the respective spring leg 24 furthest from the floor 26 from the floor 26 is approximately 16.7 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the height of the rail 12 is approximately 46.5 mm, the depth measured from left to right in the figures on the outside of the respective leg is approximately 18 mm, and the distance of the most distant point of the clip 16 from the (outer) front of the respective projection 20 about 38.8 mm. The distance between the ends of the projections 20 facing one another is in this case approximately 35.5 mm, and their thickness is approximately 2.2 mm.

In Fig. 2 shows an example of how power can be supplied to several ESLs installed in a rail. In Fig. 2 As already mentioned, the "relaxed" shape of the spring element 14 can be seen on the one hand. Furthermore, a particular embodiment is shown in which the spring element 14 also has a battery housing 30 for receiving a battery. Via suitable lines 32 and contacts 34, the battery is in contact with the described current conductors formed on the inside of the projections 20 in order to supply these and any ESLs in contact therewith with current. However, as mentioned above, instead of the in Fig. 2 indicated battery by a low voltage or the connection with photovoltaics. Furthermore, not shown in the figures, on the bottom and top, preferably only the bottom, which is shown in FIG Fig. 1 The rail 12 shown, a lighting in the form of one or more lighting means, such as LEDs, can be provided in order to illuminate goods above and / or below.

Fig. 3 shows the receptacle 10 according to the invention, not according to the invention Fig. 1 with recorded ESL 36. This shows, as in Fig. 3 recognizable, in cross-section a substantially box-like shape, with the in Fig. 3 price and / or product information are displayed on the front side on the right. In the case shown, the ESL 36 is provided with a height that is slightly less than the clear height inside the rail 12, so that it can be pressed in the direction A according to FIG Fig. 1 be pressed into the inside of the rail, then pushed a little upwards and finally can be removed from the rail with its lower edge first. The ESL is attached to the rail in the reverse order.

As in Fig. 3 is recognizable, the (according to Fig. 3 measured from left to right) depth of each recess 38, the each of the recess 28 on the spring element 14 (cf. Fig. 1 ) correspond to the thickness of the respective projection 20, also measured from left to right Fig. 3 The height of the recess 38 measured from top to bottom is the height of the lower projection 20. Finally, for a reliable arrangement of the ESL in the rail, it is preferably provided that the distance between the two projections 20 measured from top to bottom is essentially that measured in the same direction Distance between the recesses 38 corresponds. In other words, this means that the front surface of the ESL has a height which covers the entire space between the projections 20, so that a full-surface and optically appealing appearance is created. Finally, it should be mentioned that the ESL 36, which is in Fig. 3 cannot be seen, essentially corresponding to the contacts 34 of the spring element 14 according to FIG Fig. 2 has corresponding contacts in order to be supplied from the rail 12 by the energy fed in. The contacts of the ESL can be comparatively narrow, i.e. only a few millimeters wide (in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing from Fig. 3 ) must be carried out.

As in Fig. 4 is shown, several spring elements 40 are connected to one another by means of a connection 42, so that a rail can be provided with spring elements 40 in an efficient manner over a certain length. It should be mentioned that more or less than the eight spring elements 40 shown by way of example can also be connected to one another. In Fig. 4 it can also be seen that each spring element, starting from an area a few millimeters below the kink formed on it, is widened to its free end. In the embodiment shown, the gaps between two spring elements 40 are aligned with optional openings 44 which are formed in the connection 42. Overall, the spring elements 40 have the shape of an upside-down L with an intermediate angle of approx. 110 °, and together with the connection 42 essentially results in the shape of a V with an intermediate angle of approx. 37 °.

This is better in Fig. 5 from which it can also be seen that the height of the connection 42 as a whole essentially corresponds to the clear height inside the rail 12, so that the position of the connection 42 including the spring elements 40 formed thereon is defined. In the case shown, the connection 42 and the spring elements 40 are otherwise made in one piece and made of steel. The combination of connection 42 and several spring elements 40 made of steel can, for example, be punched out of hard-rolled spring strip and subsequently shaped in a suitable manner.

In Fig. 5 a situation is also shown in which not only the combination of connection 42 and spring elements 40, but also a cover lamella 46 and an ESL 36 are located inside the rail 12. Similar to this for the in Fig. 1 The spring element shown applies, the cover panel 46 is pressed by the spring element 40 from the inside against the projections 20 of the rail in the absence of an ESL 36, so that a full-surface appearance is created even if no ESL 36 is inserted. For this purpose, in the case shown, the height of the cover panel 46 is essentially the clear height in the interior of the rail 12, and the recesses 28 serve in accordance with those of the spring element 14 from FIG Fig. 1 the reception of the projections 20 of the rail.

In the in Fig. 5 However, an ESL 36 is also included, and this is just like this for the Fig. 3 is powered. It should be mentioned that a cover panel 46 is usually narrower (extension perpendicular to the plane of the drawing from FIG Fig. 5 ) is as the ESL 36, which preferably has an integer multiple of the width of a cover panel 46 as its width. In this way, an integer number of cover panels can be used when using an ESL 36 in the in Fig. 5 The situation shown inside the rail 12 are pressed, and cover panels are connected to both sides of the ESL 36, so that overall a visually appealing appearance is created. Furthermore, it is preferred for the width and positional relationship of the spring elements 40 and cover panels 46 that the division of the spring elements, that is to say the center-to-center distance between two spring elements, corresponds to the width of a cover panel, so that, for example, one spring element is assigned to exactly one cover panel over the entire length of the rail.

It should also be mentioned that the in Fig. 5 The cover panel shown can be provided with a battery, in which case it is preferred that it not be inserted into the in Fig. 5 The position shown in the interior of the rail 12, but always rests against the projections 20 from the inside, in order to supply the rail as a whole with power. In the example shown, the rail 12 further, unlike that in FIG Fig. 1 shown rail, a universal receptacle 52 formed by two mutually directed, substantially L-shaped projections for additional modules such as light and the like. Furthermore, the rail can be closed at one or both ends by cover caps. Furthermore, in particular with a width which in turn corresponds to a whole-part multiple of the width of the cover panel, insert sheets provided with text can be provided, for example, which can be accommodated in the receptacle according to the invention instead of or next to the ESLs.

In Fig. 6 To complete the figure, an ESL 48 is shown in a design that is significantly higher than the previously described ESLs 36 Fig. 6 recognizable cross section of the cover panel 46 of Fig. 5 corresponds, so that a corresponding assembly is made possible. This ESL 48 can also be provided with contacts on the assembly area 50, so that a power supply is also made possible for this.
