Description

The invention relates to a particular for food of the fruit and vegetable area provided sales and presentation device, which starts from a basic construction with presentation surfaces according to the preamble of claim 1.

For presentation of goods, especially fresh food in fruit and vegetable departments of supermarkets, different versions of frame and table constructions are used for customer presentation. According to DE 88 01 534.3 U1 is proposed as a product carrier support frame, wherein on two vertical posts respective plate or lattice-shaped goods carriers are held so that they are displaced by respective holding means in a desk-shaped inclined use position and thus the goods from the front approaching customers are better accessible.

A similar concept is in a construction according to DE 203 19 141 U1 shown here, wherein a storage area located on a table is under attacked by a rear support means so that with the displacement of a variable inclination of the particular for holding boxes o. The like. Containers suitable storage space is possible.

An in DE 20 2013 008 879 U1 shown presentation table has a modular construction of a metal struts with recesses formed frame frame, on the corresponding plug-in connections respective support bottoms of different design can be fixed. By appropriate variation of the support connection, these support bottoms can also be aligned in the region of columns of the support frame in different inclined positions, so that a better accessibility of the presented goods becomes possible for the customer. A similar construction with pivoting goods carrier is in DE 20 2007 016 569 U1 shown.

In a sales rack according to DE 10 2013 100 229 B3 a storage area for goods containers is arranged on a rear part acting as a support subassembly in such a way that, starting from a front useful side, an inclined or rising use position for the containers is predetermined. In this case, the front area directed towards the customer below the storage area is provided with a special screen as a visual screen, so that with their variable use positions, a space located below the parking space is easier to access for cleaning purposes.

In a goods carrier according to DE 20 2014 001 506 U1 the presentation surface held on a base frame is simultaneously supported in the area of a rear wall. This embodiment of the presentation surfaces provides two partial areas connected along a transverse axis, so that these partial areas are pivotable into different utility or non-use positions. In the area of the transverse axis, a toggle lever system is provided, so that, starting from a bent by 90 ° kinked position by a corresponding adjusting movement a uniformity of the two hinged faces can be achieved. The Previously used as a rear wall of the system portion of the goods carrier is moved so that the original presentation area can be increased by the proportion of the rear wall. It is understood that these two parts can be moved back from the "full-surface" presentation position into the non-use position.

In a goods carrier system according to DE 20 2014 001 505 U1 is also intended to improve the variability of the available support surface for the presentation of goods. In this construction, at least two present on a respective base frame part presentation surfaces are arranged side by side. The respective sibling element of this construction is provided with adjusting means, so that a relative displacement to the base element is possible. In a first adjustment phase, the sibling element is displaced to the rear and can then be moved from the side under the base element. Thus, a variability is achieved in that by selectively positioning the at least one located under the base element side element, the presentation area can be expanded or reduced as needed.

Also the goods carrier system according to DE 20 2014 008 052 U1 is based on a concept with a base frame and at least one additional element which can be displaced in its lower region. In this case, the presentation surface - of the element lying in the use situation next to the base element - is formed in two parts and provided with an additional upper section. This is supported on a sliding from the front control bar to the rear slidable carriage. With This upper section is combined at the same time downwardly hinged articulated subsection. Starting from a same-level design of the presentation surface - in the full-surface use case - subsequently the sibling element can be used to a "reduction" and the presentation area to be adjusted accordingly. For this purpose, the upper portion of the two subregions of the presentation surface is folded down, and then the sibling element can be inserted by a zweizügige pushing movement under the base frame.

From the US 4,776,472 For example, a bakery sales and presentation device is known which has a base unit with a presentation surface. The presentation area can be extended with the help of a telescopically guided extension.

The invention is concerned with the problem of designing a sales and presentation device with a plurality of optionally usable elements in the area of the presentation surface in such a way that handling of the operating personnel is simplified with little technical effort when changing respective usage positions and the overall system is modular for adaptation to varying installation locations can be extended.

The invention solves this problem with a sales and presentation device with the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments will become apparent from the claims 2 to 22nd

Starting from the known sales and presentation devices with presentation surfaces located on a base unit, the concept according to the invention is directed to the fact that at least the presentation surface of the receiving device provided as the base unit has an improved expandable design. This device is provided with a structure in which at least one telescopically guided part exhibiting extract can be integrated. For a variable designs of presentation and support surfaces with little technical effort is possible, and the operation is advantageously simplified for the staff in supermarkets.

The construction is designed in such a way that the at least two parts of the system that form the presentation surface with an extract can be connected to one another in a meshing manner directly via a telescopic guide. There are provided as the drawer forming parts each movable movable profile plates.

According to the invention this system is designed with easy-to-use profiled plate telescopic extension such that the directed to the front area of the presentation area part is connected to an additional frame in the base unit. The connection to this sliding additional frame is designed as a pivotable support. Thus, a swivel-thrust combination can be used by means of the at least one second, the rear portion of the presentation surface forming profile plate of the drawer in variable layers on a support frame o. The like. Designed counter holder can be fixed.

The additional frame can be designed as a likewise "telescopic" from an insertion position from the system of the base unit extractable component sen, so that the front held on the additional frame parts of the presentation surface in the form of at least two relatively displaceable profile plates in variably predetermined inclination positions on the rear support frame are definable.

The constructive implementation of this double-telescopic pivot-thrust system provides that the front of the profile plates supporting additional frame is displaced by respective, horizontally acting actuator assemblies and thus both a shift to the front and to the rear with little effort is possible. By means of these adjusting movements, it can be achieved that the respective inclination positions of the expandable presentation surface can be predetermined stepwise or steplessly by means of respective height-variable rear suspensions on the support frame.

To produce a space-saving compact non-use position of the system, it is provided that the displaceable additional frame can be inserted, at least in some areas, into a free space formed below the base unit.

In view of the optimal operability of the system is provided that the profile plates and / or the movable additional frame by hand in the respective Nutz- or pack position are displaced. Here, a corresponding fixation is provided, and in a subsequent conversion of the system, the components can be easily solved from each other.

A further improved embodiment provides that at least the profile plates of the drawer in the area of the base unit interact with at least one actuator. It is also conceivable that for displacement of the additional frame from the packing position in the base unit also a motorized actuator is installed.

A further embodiment of the device according to the invention with telescopically connected components provides that the base unit accessible from the front of the customer with a special, laterally arranged extension unit forms an at least two-part frame assembly. Thus, a multi-surface system can be constructed, wherein the respective base presentation area and at least one respective expansion area are optionally usable. The two units are displaceable relative to one another from a usable position that can be placed against one another in the region of their respective partial surfaces, wherein the at least one expansion surface of the expansion unit at least partially engages under the presentation surface of the base unit in a packing position.

In order to realize this variable adaptation function, an optimal design is achieved in that the at least one - in the use position laterally attachable to the base unit - expansion unit in the area of its extension surface has a pivotally supported by a support assembly receiving device and this in turn is connected to a bottom side movable chassis.

The control mechanism provided between these two assemblies is constructed such that starting from the one common front front line in the region of the two adjoining presentation surfaces defining use position - to reach the packing position - first the extension surface of the extension unit to its support assembly is pivotable about a support axis. After execution of this pivotal movement, this extension surface is displaced transversely to the front front line in a storage position spaced apart from the support axis. From this position, which is at a distance from the front line, the entire extension unit can then be pushed in under the presentation surface of the base unit in the longitudinal direction.

A variable configuration of the size of the insertion space located under the base unit can already be achieved in that the presentation surface in the region of its frame assembly has a support axis running in a front-side front line of the system. Thus, the presentation surface - especially in relation to a rear support wall - in different use or non-use positions be pivoted, so that either a ground-parallel position of the system and variable Pult positions can be used.

An optimization of the support structure in the area of the extension unit provides that its extension surface is connected by means of at least one pivot-push connector displaced with the associated assembly. In this case, the extension surface is supported on at least one provided as a pivot-push connector and directed to the support assembly steering parallelogram with respective guide legs.

The concept of the associated support assembly provides that this forms a transversely displaceable connection in the region of the subordinate receiving device by means of bottom support rollers on the chassis and respective guide components cooperating with the frame assembly of the base unit. This is used for the relocation of the expansion unit below the base unit.

A further variation for optimizing the system provides that at least the extension surface of the extension unit is provided with at least one displaceable attachment surface on its end facing away from the support axis in the region of the front line. This approach surface is used to make a support connection in different support layers on a stationary frame. In an expedient embodiment, the approach surface is connected to the presentation surface in the manner of a linearly movable telescopic extension, so that a respective optimum connection position is achieved by stepless thrust or pulling movements can be. A conceivable embodiment provides that the approach surface can also be made pivotable relative to the presentation surface.

In adaptation to the connection with the stationary embodiment of the frame is provided that the approach surface has a locking rod provided at the outer end, which is fixable in the use of positions in the region of at least one connectable to the frame support beam. A closed frame construction is achieved in this area by the fact that two parallel spaced support beams of the frame cause optimum reception of the locking bar. In the area of these support beams, the stepped or stepless fixation of the locking rod in the respective use position is possible. By simple lifting movement, the system can be solved from the use of inclination use position.

Based on the above-described system with base unit and expansion unit is provided that so that a modular expandable presentation structure can be established. In particular, it is provided that the base unit, the at least one laterally displaceable expansion unit and the front of the base unit associated additional frame are designed so that these components can be installed individually or in variably executable module variants cooperating at a site.

It is conceivable that the base unit is optionally connectable to the at least one extension unit on both transverse sides. It is also conceivable that the base unit is provided with a plurality of additional racks displaceable on the front side or in the area of the extension unit also additional racks are arranged.

In Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 a sales and presentation device P is shown, which is accessible in the front area 1 of the customer and can accommodate respective goods in the range of presentation surfaces 2, 3, 4. For this purpose, the device P is provided with a base unit B in the form of a frame or the like.

The inventively improved execution of the presentation device P provides that at least the presentation surface 2 of the base unit B with an at least one telescopically guided part having extract A is made extendable. From a synopsis of Fig. 3 With Fig. 1 the effect of the extract A is clear, in which case in particular a width dimension - according to arrow D - of the presentation device P can be varied.

From the illustrations according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 It is clear that in the region of the extension A, the at least two parts forming the presentation surface 2 are connected to one another in a meshing manner directly via a telescopic guide. In an expedient embodiment, as the extract A forming parts respective thrust movable (arrow S) movable profile plates 5, 6 are provided. Also conceivable are elements with a rod-shaped or latticed structure, open frame parts or the like. Designs.

From a synopsis of the operating positions according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 It is clear that at least one front of the telescopically connected profile plates 6 of the drawer A - in the front region 1 of the presentation surface 2 - is supported to at least one additional frame Z out. In particular, a pivotable support with the base unit B is formed. The associated, directed to the rear portion 7 of the presentation surface 2 profile plate 5 is fixed to a support frame 8 o. The like. Counter-holder can be fixed. This shows that the horizontal position of use ( Fig. 1 ) displaceable presentation surface 2 by means of the rear profile plate 5 can be fixed, so that in variably predetermined inclination positions according to angle C ( Fig. 2 ) on the support frame 8 respective desk-like Presentation structures of the system can be constructed. With this concept, a comparatively simple adaptation to changing goods, individual products and / or containers on the presentation surface 2 is possible.

For this variable design of the system is provided that the front of the profile plates 6 supporting additional frame Z by respective, a displacement in the horizontal direction to the front or to the rear effecting actuator assemblies 9 is displaced. This supporting system which can be used in the direction of the arrow S 'is constructed in such a way that the respective inclination positions C (by means of a height-variable rear suspension 10 on the supporting frame 8 Fig. 2 ) of the expandable presentation surface 2 are stepped or infinitely specifiable.

As is apparent from the drawings Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 it can be seen, the displaceable additional frame Z is at least partially inserted into a space formed below the base unit B 11. In an expedient embodiment, the base unit B and the additional frame Z are provided with profiled side plates 12, 13, at which respective tongue and groove profiles NF allow a positive connection for the pushing movement according to arrow S '.

By virtue of the design of the system, which is substantially symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center plane M, it is understood that the above-described connecting components, which are designated essentially on the right-hand side of the illustrations, are also provided on the opposite side of the device P without any further description.

In the area of the side plates 12, 13, a cover AD closing the access to the free space 11 (FIG. Fig. 2 ), so that here an opaque closure is achieved and also the entry of foreign bodies in the free space 11 is avoided.

From the illustrations according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 different setting variants and useful positions of the device P are clear, wherein the profile plates 5, 6 and / or the displaceable additional frame Z is preferably displaced by hand in the respective payload or packing position. It is understood that a corresponding fixable and removable for retrofitting situations mounting of the parts is provided here.

An expedient extension of the system can be constructed in such a way that the profile plates 5, 6 of the drawer A in the area of the base unit B and / or the additional rack Z cooperate with at least one actuator (not shown, concealed). It is particularly conceivable that the Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 Apparent pivot positions in the area of the presentation area 2 with not shown actuators in the form of an electric lifting drive o. The like. Device can be achieved and then the return displacement in the horizontal position according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 he follows.

It is also conceivable, the telescopic displacements according to arrow S, S '- to change the presentation surface (width D, Fig. 3 ) - by motorized drives to realize. An operation of the motor-adjustable system can be performed at an operating point BP (FIG. Fig. 1 ) carried out in the form of a switch o. The like. Actuator is executable. It is also conceivable to provide a manual control for a mechanical actuator in the area of the operating point BP or to activate locking functions.

Starting from the above-described embodiment of the presentation device P with a movable parts extract A is below - starting from Fig. 5 - A non-inventive presentation device P 'shown. In this presentation device according to P ', a base unit BE accessible by the customer at 1' with an extension unit EE arranged side by side forms an at least two-part frame assembly as a variably conceivable structure.

This structure is provided with a respective presentation surface 2 'and a respective extension surface 3'. These two units BE and EE are - starting from a lying in the region of their respective sub-areas 2 ', 3' profit position ( Fig. 7 ) - in at least one packing position displaced relative to each other, so that in this pack position, the extension surface 3 'of the extension unit EE the presentation surface 2' of the base unit BE at least partially engages under Fig. 5 ).

In this construction, it is provided that the at least one utilization position can be applied laterally to the base unit BE ( Fig. 7 ) Extension unit EE in the region of its extension surface 3 'this one by means of a support assembly 14 pivotally supporting receiving device 15 has (arrow H, Fig. 7 ) and this in turn is connected to a floor-side displaceable chassis 16 ( Fig. 8 ).

For optimum alignment of the frame assembly in the maximum usable position ( Fig. 7 ) define the adjacent presentation surfaces 2 'and 3' a common front front line F, so that a visually appealing and substantially edge-free presentation zone in the front area 1 'is accessible to the customer.

Starting from this use position in Fig. 7 is to carry out a description of the shift of the system components operating procedure by the market staff. To achieve a changed position of use (arrow H) or a packing position ( Fig. 5 ), the extension surface 3 'of the extension unit EE is first displaced toward its support assembly 14 downwards about a front-side pivot axis TS (arrow H). After reaching a predefinable position (maximum swing angle: transition from Fig. 6 to Fig. 8 ), the extension surface 3 'can now be displaced into a storage position spaced apart from the support axis TS or the front line F (arrow AL, Fig. 5 . Fig. 6 ). In this case, there is a movement of the unit EE and / or of the components transversely with respect to the front region 1 '(arrow Q, Fig. 9 ). Thus, the in Fig. 5 apparent, spaced from the front line F position of the entire extension unit EE reached, so that it can now be inserted in the direction of arrow L under the presentation surface 2 'of the base unit BE.

A synopsis of the individual presentations according to FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrates that also in the presentation device P 'the - in Fig. 1 denoted by B - base unit BE already off Fig. 1 apparent embodiment of an extract A in the area of the presentation surfaces 2 'and 3' is provided. In this case, the extension unit EE and the base unit BE use an extract A 'with essentially identical components.

For the described displacement of the extension unit EE in the packing position (transition from Fig. 7 to Fig. 5 ), the system is in an easy-to-implement design with at least one pivot-push connector 17 displaced, which in turn is connected to the associated support assembly 14. Thus, the movements in the direction of arrow H and Q can be optimally matched.

From the perspective views and the enlarged explosive views in FIGS. 8 and 9 It is clear that the extension surface 3 'on a support assembly 14 directed pivot-push connection in the form of a steering parallelogram with legs 18 and 18' is supported. With this comparatively simple construction, an optimal guidance of the components is possible, and the described displacement into the respective pivoting or use position can be achieved with little effort.

From the insertion situation in Fig. 5 It is also clear that the support assembly 14 having receiving device 15 of the extension unit EE means of bottom support rollers 19 on the chassis 16 forms a support. It is intended by means of respective guide components 20, 20 ', 20 "interacting with the frame assembly of the base unit BE ( Fig. 11 ) is made a longitudinally displaceable to the front line F (arrow L) or a transverse extension QA following connection. Also in the area of the base unit BE, the frame elements are combined in such a way that in the direction QA 'a transverse extension through the guide components 21, 21' is possible ( Fig. 10 ).

This system of guide components 20, 21 'is preferably provided with respective profile carriers PT, PT', which form a push structure formed as a tube-in-tube carrier. Thus, both the components in the area of the base unit B and the additional frame Z ( Fig. 2 ) equipped as well as in constructively adapted alignment the frame parts of the base unit BE and the extension unit EE largely arbitrarily combinable ( 10 and FIG. 11 ).

In an expedient embodiment, it is provided that at least the extension surface 3 'of the extension unit EE is provided at its end facing away from the support axis in the region of the front line F with at least one displaceable abutment surface AF in the region of the extension A' ( Fig. 6 . Fig. 7 ). This approach surface AF can form a support connection 22 to a stationary frame 23 out. In this case, the approach surface AF in the manner of the linearly movable (arrow G) telescopic extension A '(similar Fig. 1 ) are connected to the presentation surface 3 'and 2', respectively. A further embodiment provides that the approach surface AF can also be made pivotable relative to the presentation surface 2 '(not shown).

The constructive implementation of the approach surface AF provides that it is provided at its outer end with a locking rod 24, which in turn is fixable in the region of at least one support frame 25 connected to the frame 23 in a respective use position. In the illustrated embodiment, two parallel spaced support beams 25, 25 'of the frame 23 are provided in the region of the locking rod 24. In this area, stepped or continuous positioning is possible, so that an adjustment of the respective support angle H 'in different positions is possible. A corresponding pull-out and support system is in the area of the base unit BE ( Fig. 7 ), so that an optimally matching overall system can be installed.

In each case a handle opening 26, 26 'is provided in the area of the approach surface AF, so that an operator engaging here can release the latching rod 24, 24' with little lift force in an arrow direction HK from the connection at 22. A change in this positive connection position when moving in the direction of arrow H is also easy to carry out.

This overall concept of the above-described exemplary embodiment according to P and the presentation device according to P 'is based on the fact that the respective base units B, BE in conjunction with the at least one laterally displaceable extension unit EE and the additional frame Z assigned to the front side of the base unit B, BE form a modularly expandable presentation structure can. In this case, the base unit BE can be selectively connected to the at least one extension unit EE on both lateral sides. Likewise is conceivable that the base unit B is executed with a plurality of additional racks Z which can be moved on the front side.
