Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für den Warenvorschub, insbesondere an Verkaufsregalen, mit einem entlang einer Führung verfahrbaren Schieber, der durch eine Feder zu einem vorderen Anschlag vorgespannt ist, um nach Entnahme einer vorderen Ware die dahinter angeordneten Waren zu dem vorderen Anschlag zu verschieben.The present invention relates to a device for the goods feed, especially on shelves, with a slide movable along a guide slider which is biased by a spring to a front stop to move after removal of a front goods behind the goods arranged to the front stop.

Aus der nachveröffentlichten DE 10 2014 116 286 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Präsentation von Waren bekannt, bei der die Waren bis zu einem Anschlag an einer Vorderseite einer Ablage verschiebbar sind. An dem Anschlag ist eine transparente Frontscheibe oberhalb eines Leuchtmittels vorgesehen, um gezielt einen Bereich der Ware zu beleuchten. Dadurch kann der Blick des Betrachters auf einfache Weise auf den erhellten Bereich der Ware gelenkt werden. Es kann allerdings bei Änderungen der Verpackung der Ware dazu kommen, dass der beleuchtete Bereich zur Identifizierung der Ware nicht mehr ausreicht. Eine Wiedererkennung der Ware und schnelle Identifizierung ist dann nicht immer möglich.From the post-published DE 10 2014 116 286 a device for the presentation of goods is known, in which the goods are displaceable up to a stop on a front side of a tray. At the stop a transparent front panel is provided above a light source to selectively illuminate an area of the product. As a result, the viewer's gaze can be directed in a simple manner to the illuminated area of the goods. However, changes in the packaging of the goods may mean that the illuminated area is no longer sufficient to identify the goods. A recognition of the goods and rapid identification is then not always possible.

Die US2010/0072150A1 offenbart eine Präsentationsvorrichtung für Zigaretten, bei der die Zigarettenpackungen über einen Warenvorschub zu einem vorderen Anschlag geschoben werden können. An dem Anschlag ist eine Tasche ausgebildet, in die Werbekarten eingesteckt werden können.The US2010 / 0072150A1 discloses a presentation device for cigarettes, in which the cigarette packs can be pushed over a goods feed to a front stop. At the stop a bag is formed in the advertising cards can be inserted.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung für den Warenvorschub zu schaffen, die auf einfache Weise eine sichere Identifizierung einer Ware ermöglicht.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for the goods feed, which allows a simple way to securely identify a product.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Vorrichtung für den Warenvorschub mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a device for the goods feed with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäße ist an dem Anschlag für die durch den Schieber verschiebbaren Wären eine Produktkarte auswechselbar gehalten, die zumindest einen Teil der Vorderseite der vordersten Ware überdeckt. Die Produktkarte kann dadurch zur Identifizierung der jeweiligen Ware eingesetzt werden, wobei unabhängig von der Gestaltung der Verpackung oder einer Änderung dieser Gestaltung eine schnelle Widererkennung und Identifizierung der Ware möglich ist. Die Produktkarte kann zumindest einen Teil der Vorderseite der vordersten Ware überdecken, beispielsweise mehr als 50 %, so dass ein schnelles Auffinden der Ware gewährleistet ist.According to the invention, a product card, which covers at least part of the front side of the foremost product, is exchangeably held on the stop for the slides displaceable by the slider. The product card can thereby be used to identify the respective product, regardless of the design of the packaging or a change in this design, a quick detection and identification of the goods is possible. The product card can be at least part of the front of the front Covering goods, for example, more than 50%, so that a quick location of the goods is guaranteed.

In besonderen Fällen (z.B. in Märkten, bei denen bestimmte Produkte aufgrund z.B. gesetzlicher Vorgaben nicht im Sichtbereich der Shopper präsentiert werden dürfen) kann auch eine neutrale Produktkarte eingesetzt werden, um die Ware vor den Augen des Shoppers zu verdecken.In special cases (for example, in markets where certain products may not be presented to shoppers due to legal requirements), a neutral product card can also be used to hide the merchandise in front of the shopper.

Die Produktkarte ist biegbar ausgebildet und kann bei der Entnahme der vordersten Ware nach vorne gebogen werden. Die Biegbarkeit ist dabei so ausgestaltet, dass ein Umbiegen der Produktkarte um mehr als 90° ermöglicht wird, so dass die Produktkarte den Entnahmevorgang nicht wesentlich behindert. Die Produktkarte kann dabei mit einem unteren Abschnitt in eine nutförmige Aufnahme an dem Anschlag eingefügt sein, so dass nach der Entnahme eines Produktes die Produktkarte aufgrund der Rückstellkräfte wieder in eine aufrechte Position verschwenkt.The product card is bendable and can be bent forward when removing the foremost goods. The bendability is designed so that a bending of the product card is made possible by more than 90 °, so that the product card does not significantly hinder the removal process. The product card can be inserted with a lower portion in a groove-shaped receptacle on the stop, so that after removing a product, the product card pivots back into an upright position due to the restoring forces.

Für eine leichte Montage ist die Produktkarte an einem an dem Anschlag montierten Halter verrastet. Hierfür kann an der Produktkarte eine Öffnung vorgesehen sein, in die ein Rastelement eingreift. Auch andere Rastmittel können zur Fixierung der Produktkarte eingesetzt werden. Alternativ kann die Produktkarte auch per Klemmung befestigt werden. Für eine Ausrichtung der Produktkarte können zusätzlich oder alternativ Profilierungen in Form von Öffnungen oder Vorsprüngen vorgesehen sein, die für eine Ausrichtung der Produktkarte an dem Anschlag sorgen. Dadurch wird eine exakte Positionierung der Produktkarte auch nach einer Vielzahl von Entnahmevorgängen gewährleistet. Um die Produktkarte leicht nachrüsten zu können, ist an dem Anschlag ein Halter lösbar fixiert, und an dem Halter ist mindestens ein Rastelement zur Fixierung der Produktkarte vorgesehen. Durch die Montage des Halters kann dann auch die Produktkarte nachgerüstet werden.For easy installation, the product card is latched to a holder mounted on the stopper. For this purpose, an opening may be provided on the product card, which engages in a latching element. Other locking means can be used to fix the product card. Alternatively, the product card can also be attached by clamping. For aligning the product card, additionally or alternatively profilings in the form of openings or projections can be provided, which ensure alignment of the product card with the stop. As a result, an exact positioning of the product card is ensured even after a large number of removal operations. In order to easily retrofit the product card, a holder is releasably fixed to the stop, and on the holder at least one locking element for fixing the product card is provided. By mounting the holder then the product card can be retrofitted.

Die Produktkarte überdeckt vorzugsweise die gesamte Vorderseite der Ware. Dadurch kann ein einheitliches Ansichtsbild gewährleistet werden, beispielsweise wenn eine Vielzahl ähnlicher Waren, wie bei Zigarettenschachteln, nebeneinander positioniert sind. An der Produktkarte können optional auch Sichtfenster aus transparentem oder transluzentem Material oder in Form einer Aussparung vorgesehen sein. Vorzugsweise ist die Produktkarte zumindest an einer Seite mit einer Kennzeichnung zur Identifizierung der Waren bedruckt.The product card preferably covers the entire front of the product. Thereby, a uniform view image can be ensured, for example, when a plurality of similar goods, such as cigarette packs, are positioned side by side. Optionally, viewing windows made of transparent or translucent material or in the form of a cutout can also be provided on the product card. Preferably, the product card is printed on at least one side with a label for identifying the goods.

Um auch nach über 1.000 Entnahmevorgängen ein ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild zu gewährleisten, kann die Produktkarte aus Kunststoff hergestellt sein, um eine hohe Verschleißfähigkeit zu gewährleisten.In order to ensure a pleasing appearance even after more than 1,000 withdrawals, the product card can be made of plastic to ensure a high degree of wear resistance.

Vorzugsweise wird die Produktkarte gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausziehen gesichert, was gerade bei der Entnahme der Ware auftreten könnte, wenn gewisse Zugkräfte auf die Produktkarte wirken. Die Kraft zum Herausziehen der Produktkarte beträgt daher mindestens 10 N, beispielsweise zwischen 10 N und 30 N. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass die Produktkarte nicht versehentlich herausgezogen wird. Die Kraft zum Einstecken der Produktkarte kann dabei geringer sein als die Kraft zum Herausziehen der Produktkarte, insbesondere um mehr als 40 %.Preferably, the product card is secured against unintentional withdrawal, which could occur just when the goods are removed, if certain tensile forces act on the product card. The force to pull out the product card is therefore at least 10 N, for example between 10 N and 30 N. This ensures that the product card is not accidentally pulled out. The force for inserting the product card can be less than the force for pulling out the product card, in particular by more than 40%.

Eine Vorrichtung 1 für den Warenvorschub wird an einem Regalboden 2 eines Verkaufsregals montiert und umfasst eine Führung 3 in Form einer Profilschiene, entlang der ein Schieber 4 verfahrbar ist. Der Schieber 4 ist über eine Feder 5, insbesondere eine Rollfeder, zu einem Anschlag 7 hin vorgespannt, der an einer Adapterschiene 6 an dem Regalboden 2 montiert ist. Dabei sind eine Vielzahl von Vorrichtungen für den Warenvorschub nebeneinander positioniert, die über Trennwände 10 voneinander beabstandet sind. Jeder Schieber 4 kann eine Vielzahl von Waren 8 verschieben, wobei die jeweils vorderste Ware 8 benachbart zu dem Anschlag 7 entnommen werden kann. Als Waren 8 können Tabakprodukte oder andere verpackte Waren eingesetzt werden.A device 1 for the goods feed is mounted on a shelf 2 of a sales shelf and includes a guide 3 in the form of a rail, along which a slider 4 is movable. The slider 4 is biased by a spring 5, in particular a scroll spring, towards a stop 7, which is mounted on an adapter rail 6 on the shelf 2. In this case, a plurality of devices for the goods feed are positioned side by side, which are spaced apart by partitions 10. Each slider 4 can move a variety of goods 8, wherein the respective foremost goods 8 adjacent to the stop 7 can be removed. As goods 8 tobacco products or other packaged goods can be used.

An dem Anschlag 7 ist jeweils eine Produktkarte 9 lösbar fixiert, die zumindest einen Teil der Vorderseite der vordersten Ware 8 überdeckt. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Vorderseite vollständig überdeckt, lediglich die Ware 8 auf der linken Seite in Figur 1 ist durch eine Produktkarte 9' abgedeckt, die die Vorderseite nur teilweise überdeckt, zumindest um mehr als 50 %. Unabhängig von der Gestaltung der Produktkarte 9 oder 9' kann durch diese die Identifizierung der Ware erleichtert werden, da die Produktkarte 9 oder 9' zumindest an der Vorderseite mit Markierungen bedruckt ist, die eine Zuordnung zu den Waren 8 hinter der Produktkarte 9 oder 9' ermöglicht.At the stop 7, a product card 9 is releasably fixed in each case, which covers at least a part of the front of the foremost goods 8. In the illustrated embodiment, the front is completely covered, only the goods 8 on the left side in FIG. 1 is covered by a product card 9 ', which covers the front only partially, at least by more than 50%. Regardless of the design of the product card 9 or 9 'can be facilitated by this, the identification of the product, since the product card 9 or 9' is printed at least on the front with markings, an assignment to the goods 8 behind the product card 9 or 9 ' allows.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist eine Entnahmesituation gezeigt, bei der die vorderste Ware 8 hinter der Produktkarte 9 zur Vorderseite hin entnommen werden soll. Der Anschlag 7 ist aus einem formstabilen Material ausgebildet, so dass die Ware 8 über den Anschlag 7 angehoben und dann herausgezogen werden kann. Die Produktkarte 9 ist biegbar ausgebildet und besteht beispielsweise aus Kunststoff, so dass das Entnehmen der Ware 8 nicht behindert wird. Wie in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, kann die Produktkarte 9 in eine Stellung 9* gebogen werden, um das Entnehmen der vordersten Ware 8 zu erleichtern. Die Produktkarte 9 kann beispielsweise um mindestens 90° gebogen werden, so dass ein leichtgängiges Entnehmen der vordersten Ware gewährleistet wird. Dabei besitzt die Produktkarte 9 ausreichend hohe Rückstellkräfte, um nach dem Entnahmevorgang von der Position 9* wieder in die vertikale Position zurückzuschwenken. Die Produktkarte kann dabei aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden, beispielsweise in einer Dicke zwischen 300 µm bis 700 µm, insbesondere zwischen 400 µm bis 600 µm.In the Figures 2 and 3 a removal situation is shown, in which the foremost product 8 is to be removed behind the product card 9 to the front. The stopper 7 is formed of a dimensionally stable material, so that the goods 8 can be raised over the stop 7 and then pulled out. The product card 9 is formed bendable and consists for example of plastic, so that the removal of the goods 8 is not hindered. As in FIG. 3 is shown, the product card 9 can be bent in a position 9 * to facilitate the removal of the foremost goods 8. The product card 9 can be bent for example by at least 90 °, so that a smooth removal of the foremost goods is guaranteed. In this case, the product card 9 has sufficiently high restoring forces to swing back after the removal process from the position 9 * back to the vertical position. The product card can be made of plastic, for example in a thickness between 300 .mu.m to 700 .mu.m, in particular between 400 .mu.m to 600 .mu.m.

In Figur 4 ist ein Befüllvorgang der Vorrichtung 1 dargestellt. Eine Ware 8 wird nun gegen einen Block aus Waren 8 gedrückt, um den Schieber 4 gegen die Kraft der Feder 5 nach hinten zu verschieben. Die Produktkarte 9 wird dadurch nach hinten umgebogen und wird nach dem Einfügen der Ware 8 freigegeben, so dass die Produktkarte in die aufrechte Position zurückschwenken kann. Anschließend wird der Stapel aus Waren 8 gegen den Anschlag 7 und die Produktkarte 9 verfahren. Es ist auch möglich, gleichzeitig eine Vielzahl von Waren 8 nachzufüllen, wenn der Schieber 4 nach hinten verfahren wird.In FIG. 4 a filling process of the device 1 is shown. A product 8 is now pressed against a block of goods 8 to move the slider 4 against the force of the spring 5 to the rear. The product card 9 is thereby bent backwards and is released after the insertion of the goods 8, so that the product card can swing back into the upright position. Subsequently, the stack of goods 8 is moved against the stop 7 and the product card 9. It is also possible to simultaneously refill a plurality of goods 8 when the slider 4 is moved backwards.

In den Figuren 5A und 5B ist die Produktkarte 9 bei der Montage gezeigt. An der Produktkarte 9 befindet sich im unteren Bereich eine Öffnung 90, die zur Verrastung der Produktkarte 9 eingesetzt wird. Die Produktkarte 9 wird dabei mit einem unteren Abschnitt in eine nutförmige Aufnahme zwischen einem Halter 12 und dem plattenförmigen Anschlag 7 eingeschoben. An dem Halter 12 befindet sich ein ringförmiger Vorsprung 15, der in die Öffnung 90 der Produktkarte 9 eingefügt wird. Der Halter 12 ist dabei über Rastmittel an dem Anschlag 7 fixiert. Der Anschlag 7 ist mit zwei Rampen 11 verbunden, die an der Adapterschiene 6 fixiert sind. Die Rampen 11 sorgen dafür, dass die vorderste Ware 8 etwas erhöht gegenüber den dahinter liegenden Waren 8 angeordnet ist und somit leichter gegriffen werden kann. Zwischen den beiden Rampen 11 ist ein Körper 20 vorgesehen, der zur Fixierung eines Endes der Feder 5 dient.In the Figures 5A and 5B the product card 9 is shown during assembly. On the product card 9 is located in the lower area an opening 90 which is used for locking the product card 9. The product card 9 is thereby inserted with a lower portion in a groove-shaped receptacle between a holder 12 and the plate-shaped stopper 7. On the holder 12 is an annular projection 15 which is inserted into the opening 90 of the product card 9. The holder 12 is fixed via latching means on the stopper 7. The stopper 7 is connected to two ramps 11, which are fixed to the adapter rail 6. The ramps 11 ensure that the foremost product 8 is slightly elevated in relation to the goods 8 located behind it and thus can be more easily grasped. Between the two ramps 11, a body 20 is provided which serves to fix one end of the spring 5.

Die Produktkarte 9 weist an einer unteren Kante 92 zwei schlitzförmige nach unten offene Öffnungen 91 auf, die in eine Aufnahme 21 an dem Anschlag 7 eingesteckt werden und einen Steg 22 umgreifen, der in Verlängerung der Rampe 11 angeordnet ist. Dadurch kann die Produktkarte 9 in seitliche Richtung ausgerichtet und stabilisiert werden. Der untere Bereich der Produktkarte 9 ist somit zwischen dem Halter 12 und dem Anschlag 7 gehalten, und es wird gewährleistet, dass die Produktkarte 9 nach dem Verbiegen wieder in eine aufrechte Position zurückschwenkt.The product card 9 has at a lower edge 92, two slot-shaped downwardly open openings 91 which are inserted into a receptacle 21 on the stop 7 and engage around a web 22 which is arranged in extension of the ramp 11. Thereby, the product card 9 can be aligned and stabilized in the lateral direction. The lower portion of the product card 9 is thus held between the holder 12 and the stopper 7, and it is ensured that the product card 9 pivots back to an upright position after bending.

In Figur 6 ist der Halter 12 vor der Montage gezeigt. Der Halter 12 besitzt an seiner Unterseite zwei L-förmige Stege 17, die in eine Aussparung 19 an dem Körper 20 eingefügt werden. Benachbart zu den L-förmigen Stegen sind Raststege 18 mit Vorsprüngen vorgesehen, so dass der Halter 12 an der Aussparung 19 verrastet werden kann. Nach Montage des Halters 12 kann dann die Produktkarte 9 zwischen dem Anschlag 7 und einer vertikalen Platte 14 des Halters 12 eingeschoben werden.In FIG. 6 the holder 12 is shown prior to assembly. The holder 12 has on its underside two L-shaped webs 17 which are inserted into a recess 19 on the body 20. Adjacent to the L-shaped webs locking webs 18 are provided with projections, so that the holder 12 can be latched to the recess 19. After mounting the holder 12, the product card 9 can then be inserted between the stop 7 and a vertical plate 14 of the holder 12.

In den Figuren 7A und 7B ist der Anschlag 7 ohne den Halter 12 und die Produktkarte 9 gezeigt. Der Anschlag 7 ist an der Adapterschiene 6 fixiert und weist an dem Körper 20 eine Aussparung 19 zur Fixierung des Halters 12 auf. Ferner steigen die Rampen 11 zu dem plattenförmigen Anschlag 7 an und enden kurz vor dem Anschlag 7 zur Ausbildung der Aufnahme 21.In the FIGS. 7A and 7B the stop 7 is shown without the holder 12 and the product card 9. The stop 7 is fixed to the adapter rail 6 and has on the body 20 a recess 19 for fixing the holder 12. Furthermore, the ramps 11 rise to the plate-shaped stopper 7 and terminate shortly before the stop 7 to form the receptacle 21st

In den Figuren 8A und 8B ist der Halter 12 im Detail gezeigt. Der Halter 12 ist winkelförmig ausgebildet und weist eine vertikale Platte 14 und eine horizontale Platte 13 auf. In der montierten Position ist die horizontale Platte 13 zwischen den beiden Rampen 11 angeordnet. Von der vertikalen Platte 14 stehen die beiden L-förmigen Stege 17 nach unten hervor, die in die Aussparung 19 eingefügt werden. An der Außenseite sind zwei Raststege 18 mit Rastvorsprüngen ausgebildet, die zur Verrastung des Halters 12 dienen.In the FIGS. 8A and 8B the holder 12 is shown in detail. The holder 12 is angular and has a vertical plate 14 and a horizontal plate 13. In the mounted position, the horizontal plate 13 is arranged between the two ramps 11. From the vertical plate 14, the two L-shaped webs 17 project downwardly, which are inserted into the recess 19. On the outside of two locking webs 18 are formed with locking projections, which serve for locking the holder 12.

Der Halter 12 weist an der vertikalen Platte 14 auf der zu dem Anschlag 7 gewandten Seite einen ringförmigen Vorsprung 15 auf, der an seiner Oberseite eine Anlaufschräge 16 aufweist. Dadurch kann die Produktkarte mit geringen Kräften an dem Halter 12 verrastet werden. Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Einsteckkraft zum Verrasten der Produktkarte kleiner ist als die Auszugskraft, wobei die Kraft zum Einstecken vorzugsweise in einem Bereich zwischen 5 N bis 10 N liegt, während die Auszugskraft der Produktkarte aus der verrasteten Position mindestens 10 N, insbesondere zwischen 15 N bis 25 N, liegt. Der Halter 12 kann hingegen mit größeren Rastkräften an dem Körper 20 montiert werden, beispielsweise liegen die Haltekräfte für den Halter 12 in einem Bereich von mehr als 35 N, insbesondere zwischen 35 bis 100 N, vorzugsweise zwischen 60 N bis 75 N.The holder 12 has on the vertical plate 14 on the side facing the stop 7 an annular projection 15 which has a run-on slope 16 on its upper side. As a result, the product card can be latched onto the holder 12 with little force. It has proven to be advantageous if the insertion force for latching the product card is smaller than the pull-out force, wherein the insertion force is preferably in a range between 5 N to 10 N, while the pull-out force of the product card from the latched position at least 10 N, in particular between 15 N to 25 N, lies. By contrast, the holder 12 can be mounted on the body 20 with greater latching forces, for example, the holding forces for the holder 12 are in a range of more than 35 N, in particular between 35 and 100 N, preferably between 60 N and 75 N.

In den Figuren 9A und 9B ist die Produktkarte 9 im Detail gezeigt. Die Produktkarte 9 umfasst im unteren Bereich eine Öffnung 90 zur Fixierung an dem ringförmigen Vorsprung 15 des Halters 12. Es ist auch möglich, an dem Anschlag 7 einen Vorsprung zur Verrastung der Produktkarte 9 vorzusehen. Ferner sind an der unteren Kante 92 zwei Öffnungen 91 zur Ausrichtung der Produktkarte vorgesehen. Es ist auch möglich, an der Produktkarte 9 andere Profilierungen oder Öffnungen zur Ausrichtung oder Fixierung derselben an dem Anschlag 7 oder dem Halter 12 vorzusehen.In the FIGS. 9A and 9B the product card 9 is shown in detail. The product card 9 comprises in the lower region an opening 90 for fixing to the annular projection 15 of the holder 12. It is also possible to provide a projection for latching the product card 9 on the stop 7. Further, two openings 91 for aligning the product card are provided at the lower edge 92. It is also possible to provide on the product card 9 other profiles or openings for alignment or fixation of the same on the stop 7 or the holder 12.

Die Produktkarte 9 ist an einer Vorderseite bedruckt und kann mit einer verschleißfesten Beschichtung versehen sein, damit die Produktkarte auch mehrere Tausend Entnahmevorgänge ohne sichtbare Beschädigung übersteht. Die Produktkarte 9 besitzt eine Dicke zwischen 300 µm bis 700 µm, insbesondere zwischen 400 µm bis 600 µm, um ausreichend hohe Rückstellkräfte zu besitzen. Zur Herstellung der Produktkarte können geeignete Kunststoffe eingesetzt werden.The product card 9 is printed on a front side and can be provided with a wear-resistant coating, so that the product card also several Thousands of removal operations without visible damage survives. The product card 9 has a thickness of between 300 μm to 700 μm, in particular between 400 μm to 600 μm, in order to have sufficiently high restoring forces. For the production of the product card suitable plastics can be used.

Optional kann die Produktkarte 9 auch ein Sichtfenster aufweisen, das durch einen transparenten Materialabschnitt oder eine Aussparung gebildet ist, um zumindest teilweise einen Blick auf die Vorderseite der Ware 8 freizugeben.Optionally, the product card 9 may also have a viewing window, which is formed by a transparent material portion or a recess, to at least partially reveal a view of the front of the product 8.
