Abstract

In a refrigerated display case (1), the payment table (16) may be at least partially formed in or under a goods protection room, (30) which is formed by a goods protection (6) and a goods room in an operating state to a customer side from contamination or from unwanted access protects, and / or below the height of a provided on the operator side worktop (17) located self-service position to promote self-service position as possible in the self-service position.

Description

The invention relates to a refrigerated display counter and a method for moving a refrigerated display from an operating state to a self-service state or from a self-service state to an operating state according to the preamble of the independent claims.

Such refrigerated counters and methods are for example from the DE 201 07 066 U1 , of the DE 10 2007 047 305 B4 , of the DE 41 10 942 C2 or even from the DE 20 2013 001 178 U1 known. Also the still unpublished German patent application 10 2016 101 802.3 discloses such refrigerated counters or methods.

Here, the refrigerated counters each have a goods room, in which goods are presented cooled any customers on, the refrigerated counters have an operator side and a customer side, so that at least in an operating state, the goods space from the operator side in a sufficient extent to operate accessible and to the Customer side the goods are protected against contamination or unwanted access by customers. This purpose is a goods protection, which forms a goods protection space located above the goods space. In addition, such refrigerated counters have a payday on which personnel or operators store any goods presented more goods or money can be passed from customers to the operating staff.

So revealed the DE 20 2013 001 178 U1 a usable as a payday cover, which can be opened for loading a arranged in the goods protection room presentation plate. Also, it is known per se to design a directed to the customer side Warenschutzwandung for cleaning purposes movable, wherein, for example, after the DE 201 07 066 U1 that paydays usually stays in their position. As immediately from the DE 201 07 066 U1 it can be seen, the relocation of the Warenschutzwandung that the goods space or the goods protection space is accessible from the customer side, so that the refrigerated counter is located in a self-service state, in which goods can be removed directly from the customer. Ultimately serves at the DE 201 07 066 U1 however, the transferability is for cleaning purposes only, it being understood that such purifications may not take place when customers are present, at all times Contamination of the goods not only by customers but also by detergents to prevent.

Anders sees this in the refrigerated counters of DE 10 2007 047 305 B4 , of the DE 41 10 942 C2 and the still unpublished German patent application EN 10 2016 101 802.3 in which targeted a self-service status is to be achieved on the one hand to present and sell goods in a conventional manner by the goods are appropriately protected and accessible only by operating personnel in an operating state, so that they can be presented in particular open while in one Selbstbedienungszustand then, for example, packaged goods can be presented, which may be particularly the case when in times of low traffic or in times where personnel costs would be undesirably high, packaged goods or goods that are a self-service, in the Goods space can be placed and offered.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerated display case and a method for offsetting a refrigerated display from an operating condition to a self-service condition or from a self-service condition to an operating condition in which the self-service refrigerated counter provides a pleasing appearance.

The object of the invention is achieved by refrigerated counters and methods for moving a refrigerated display from an operating state to a self-service state or from a self-service state to an operating state with the features of the independent claims. Further, possibly also independent thereof, advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims and the following description.

In this case, the invention proceeds from the basic knowledge that precisely the number of days in the known refrigerated counters prevents an appearance which responds to self-service, since these are located regularly above the goods protection space or above the height of a worktop provided on the user side and optionally also above the goods space is thus a kind of barrier or demarcation, which at least unconsciously prevents the customer from self-service.

In this respect, a refrigerated counter with a goods room as well as with an operator side and a customer side offers an attractive appearance for self-service in self-service condition, if the goods space is accessible from the operator side in a sufficient extent to operate and to the customer side from contamination or has protection against unwanted access by customers and a goods protection space forming goods protection and a payday, when the goods space in a self-service condition of the customer side in a sufficient self-service is accessible and if the refrigerated counter characterized by the fact that the pay tables at least partially in or under Having the goods protection room and / or below the height of a provided on the operator side worktop self-service position.

Cumulative or alternatively ensures a method for moving a refrigerated counter with a goods room and with an operator side and a customer side, the goods room is accessible in an operating state of the operator side in a sufficient extent for operating and to the customer side from contamination or has protection against unwanted access by customers and a goods protection space forming goods protection and a payday and in a self-service state of the customer side in a sufficient self-service, an self-service state responsive self-service appearance, if the process is characterized in that the payday When moving from the operating state to the self-service state from an operating position to a goods protection room from the operator side and the customer side releasing self-service position is spent, and / or if the process characterized in that the payment days when moving from the self-service state is brought into the operating state of a goods protection space from the operator side and the customer side releasing self-service position in an operating position.

If the payment days clear the goods protection space from the operator side and from the customer side, undesirable inhibition thresholds, which may have the effect of preventing a customer who wishes to operate himself from being hampered by a payment floor arranged at the level of the goods protection space or above the goods protection space, can be kept to a minimum be reduced. The customer then has the feeling that he should like to access the goods in the goods room with complete freedom and unhindered, as he is used to self-service freezers, which are well known in the art.

As a commodity protection a variety of facilities, such as roller blinds or films can be used. Particularly preferred, however, includes the protection of goods one or more Warenschutzwandungen, since these can be sufficiently stable for everyday life and readily adapted in the form of transparent panes for the presentation of goods. Accordingly, the protection of goods can in particular by Warenschutzwandungen be shown, the goods protection - depending on the specific implementation - may have several separate walls or only one wall. It is understood that the wall can possibly be formed curved in its vertical section, if the refrigerated display, especially in the operating state, should have a curved exterior. Likewise, it is conceivable that the Warenschutzwandung can be selected in a straight line, for example, if the refrigerated display is to have a slightly stricter appearance.

The payment floor may be any suitable, essentially horizontal area which, in the operating state, can be found above the goods area within the reach of the customer and within the reach of the operating personnel. Such an area can then be used to hand over goods from the operator to the customer, to receive money or for similar purposes. Likewise, additional goods or brochures and the like may be offered on such a payday if necessary.

Also, the number of layers can be formed of different materials, in which case in particular opaque discs or plates in particular but also transparent glass or Plexiglas discs can be used.

In particular, the payment days can also be part of the goods protection and serve in addition to a Warenschutzwandung in the operating state the protection of the goods located in the goods room against unwanted access and in particular against contamination from the customer side. In particular, if the payment days is part of the goods protection, it may be made of a material which corresponds to the rest of the goods, in particular the Warenschutzwandung.

Depending on the specific embodiment, the payment table and the Warenschutzwandung can also be interconnected or even formed integrally with each other. In the latter case, a transition may be provided between the Warenschutzwandung and the payment days, since the inclination angle between the Warenschutzwandung and the payment days will change regularly, since the Warenschutzwandung ultimately protect the goods protection room in height above the goods space, while the payment days as stated above, must have a horizontal area. It is understood that between the payment days and the Warenschutzwandung possibly also a curved transition area can be provided.

With regard to the materials are particularly glass or transparent plastics, which have sufficient rigidity and stability for the everyday life of such a refrigerated display and due to their transparency, a presentation of Allow goods in the goods room in particular in the operating state in a structurally simple manner.

As already explained above, opaque materials can also be used, in particular for the number days. The latter is theoretically also conceivable for the Warenschutzwandung, in which case a presentation of the goods is correspondingly difficult, including possibly in the Warenschutzwandung corresponding window can be provided with transparent areas.

It is also understood that both the Warenschutzwandung and the number of days may possibly have a frame or other racks or supports in order to attach fasteners or guides or handles and the like there. It is also conceivable that such components can also be attached directly to the transparent assemblies, such as the discs or plates.

As the term "refrigerated counter" already indicates, the goods in the goods room are cooled. This is done in a well-known manner by corresponding cooling devices are provided in the refrigerated display. In this case, on the one hand, it is conceivable that only walls of the goods space or only a goods floor are cooled, which can ultimately be implemented by any refrigeration unit which provides sufficient cooling capacity. In this respect, for example, a contact cooling can be provided by corresponding cooling elements, such as cooling coils, Peltier elements or the like, are brought directly into contact with the goods room or with components of Warenraumwandung or the goods floor.

Cumulatively or alternatively, an air cooling may be provided, wherein in particular a circulating air cooling represents effective cooling and is already well known from the prior art. In this case, cooled air sweeps substantially horizontally over the goods located in the goods compartment to be returned then below the product floor. In this circulation, a cooling unit is provided at any point, which cools this circulating air. Depending on the concrete implementation, the cooling unit may be provided below a provided on the operator side worktop, below the goods room or on the customer side. There are also refrigerated counters, where the air flow from the customer side to the operator side over the in the Goods goods room deletes, while in other refrigerated counters, the circulation direction is reversed and sweeps the air flow from the operator side to the customer side over the goods located in the goods room.

Depending on the specific implementation of the goods floor can be designed to be height adjustable, so as flexible as possible to present different goods and especially different quantities of goods with reliable cooling.

It is understood that as goods of any kind goods that require cooling, can be used. In particular, fish, meat and sausage products and dairy products, such as cheese, cream cheese and yoghurt, in this regard. In the operating state, such goods can be presented open, so that, for example, according to a customer request proportioning of goods by the operator is readily possible. In the self-service state, the goods are then repackaged, so that any contamination by customers play no role or are excluded with regard to the actual goods. Depending on the concrete implementation, it is understood that other goods that are to be presented refrigerated, can be used in this regard. In this example, ice cream or frozen goods are particularly conceivable.

As already explained above, a worktop can be provided on the operator side of the refrigerated display. By such a worktop, the activities of the operator can be facilitated, since in particular aids such as knives, forks or packaging material, but also funds or scales can be provided. As such, any horizontal surface located on the operator side can be defined and used as a work surface as long as the work surface is sufficiently far away from the customer side to avoid tampering by a customer. In general, the worktop will be approximately at waist height or a little deeper.

It is understood that the refrigerated counter customer may also have a filing, for example, for storing shopping bags, which, however, in order not to hinder a presentation of the goods, usually below the goods protection room, and often below the goods space, will be arranged ,

The fact that the self-service position of the payment days is at least partially disposed in or below the goods protection room, can be ensured in a simple or reliable manner that the payment days in their self-service position, and thus also in the self-service state of the refrigerated counter, a purchase decision not or as little as possible with special needs. The latter applies cumulatively or alternatively to this if the self-service position of the payment days is below the level of a work surface provided on the operator side.

Particularly preferably, the self-service position is at least partially, preferably entirely, at the level of the goods space or below it. It is also cumulatively or alternatively conceivable to provide the self-service position at least partially, preferably entirely, in the goods compartment, in particular at the edge thereof. In this way, the payday is largely out of the customer's field of vision in the self-service state of the refrigerated counter, so that a hindrance to the purchase decision or any other impairment is almost impossible.

Ultimately, the payment days may possibly be completely removed from the refrigerated display in the self-service position, which can also be a deterioration of the purchase decision in the self-service state can be reduced to a minimum. However, it is then necessary that the payday is spent in some way to another place, which ultimately requires a very high physical effort and raises considerable issues in terms of operational safety. This is especially true when several such refrigerated counters are in use, as then possibly confusion may occur, leading to further handling problems. In addition, such bearings are often exposed to a special contamination, for example by cleaning or by careless staff. The risk of damage is often relatively large at such bearings. For this reason, it is advantageous if the payday is permanently attached to the refrigerated display, wherein in the present context, the term "insoluble" is directed to everyday use. It is understood that the number of days for assembly purposes or maintenance should be able to be solved, in particular in order to replace them, for example, in case of damage or to be able to undergo a thorough cleaning. For the aforementioned reason, it is therefore additionally or alternatively alternatively advantageous if the payment days are also attached to the refrigerated display in the self-service position.

However, it has proven to be particularly advantageous if the payment table is permanently attached to the goods protection wall. The number days can then possibly be spent together with the Warenschutzwandung in the associated self-service positions. A return to the operating state is then relatively easy, because both modules can be moved equally, at least in large parts.

Preferably, the payment days between the operating position and the self-service position is moved, which causes a good and smooth movement of the number days and thus contributes to operational safety. It should be understood that this "method" need not necessarily be the only movement that undergoes the payday when moved from the operating position to the self-service position and back. In the present context, it is only important that the "procedure" also takes place.

Particularly preferably, the method is carried out together with the Warenschutzwandung, whereby a particularly simple sequence of movements in the transition between the operating position and the self-service position and back can be ensured.

Preferably, the number of days in the process is in a process position, where it can - if necessary - be spent before the process first in the process position, which can be done for example by a sliding movement or by a folding movement. In the end, there are no limits to the actual sequence of movement of the payment days, as long as the corresponding movement sequences can be implemented simply and in particular reliably and the construction effort can be kept within limits.

For stability reasons, the payment days in the operating state can be located on a support. A corresponding stability is advantageous since, in the operating state, goods are to be stored on the payment days. On the other hand, the payday in the operating state is accessible both by the customer side and by the operator side, so that it is also there handbags can be stored or the payment days can also be subject to other very high loads. About a support or a corresponding frame can be taken here for more stability.

In addition, a support may also be provided for the goods protection wall or for parts thereof, wherein optionally also the support which is used for the payment days, can be used in this regard.

It is understood that a plurality of supports, in particular, for example, two supports can each be provided on the sides located at right angles to the customer and operator side of the payment days. Likewise, further supports can be provided over the length of the refrigerated counter, if this appears necessary.

Preferably, the support also has an operating position and a self-service position and is possibly also be brought between these two positions. In this case, the position change may possibly take place together with the payment days or Warenschutzwandung. Alternatively, however, a separate holding and moving device for the support or the supports may be provided in particular for reasons of stability. Since such supports are generally much less sensitive, a much more stable guidance can be provided here. It is also conceivable that such supports are simply removed from the refrigerated display and stored at any points. Optionally, corresponding holding devices and the like may be provided for depositing these supports in the self-service position on the refrigerated display. For example, holes can be provided below the goods space in which the supports are inserted or inserted in the self-service position.

The supports can for example be directly fixable in their operating position on a frame of the counter body or in a corresponding guide which is provided on the counter body or its frame. Alternatively, however, an attachment to other supports, be provided on the goods protection wall or on the Warenraumwandung.

The goods protection and / or the payment days preferably delimit the goods space in the self-service position. Then can be dispensed with a separate delimitation of the goods space at this point. In particular, it is also conceivable that the Warenschutzwandung is also used as a delineation of the goods space in the operating position.

It is understood that the features of the solutions described above or in the claims can optionally also be combined in order to implement the advantages in a cumulative manner.

The in the FIGS. 1 to 24 shown cooling counters 1 each have a goods space 2, which is supported by a counter body 3.

The counter body 3 stands on a floor 8 on which, on the one hand, customers 32 can reach the refrigerated display 1 from a customer side 5 and operating personnel 31, in particular from an operator side 4.

Here, a horizontal 7 can be defined by the bottom 8.

The goods space 2 is formed in these embodiments in a conventional manner by a goods floor (not numbered) and a Warenraumwandung 18 and can be filled with goods 21.

The cooling of the goods space 2 takes place in these embodiments by means of circulating air which sweeps from the operator side 4 to the customer side 5 through the goods space 2 and the goods 21. The goods floor of the goods space here is height adjustable in a conventional manner. It is understood that other embodiments of the Refrigerated counters 1 and in particular the goods rooms 2 in alternative embodiments are readily conceivable.

On the operator side 4, the refrigerated display 1 has a worktop 17, which operating personnel 31 can use in a manner known per se to operate. In addition, immediately below the worktop 17, for example, a cooling unit may be provided to then direct cooling air from the operator side 4 of the goods 21 away.

In order to avoid any contamination of the goods 21 by customers 32 or protect the former from unwanted access, the refrigerated display 1 has a goods protection 6, which in these embodiments, on the one hand, a Warenschutzwandung 10 and on the other hand 16 comprises a payday.

Here, the refrigerated counters 1 each have an operating state 51 (see FIGS. 1 . 5 and 9 ) and a self-service state 52 (see FIGS. 4 . 8th and 12 ), wherein the goods protection 6 in the operating state 51 effectively protects the goods 21 from any contamination by the customers 32 also by droplets, for example in a cough, and against unwanted access, while the goods room 2 in self-service state both from the operator side 4 and from the customer side 5 is freely accessible.

Here, the goods protection 6 bounds a goods protection space 30, which in the operating state 51 is accessible only by the operating personnel 31.

Depending on the concrete implementation of the embodiments of the goods protection 6 can also be protected by the Warenraumwandung 18 or mitgeschützt. The latter requires, however, that then the Warenraumwandung 18 should be designed to be movable according to the Warenschutzwandung 10 or in areas with a solid Warenraumwandung 18, as in the embodiment of FIGS. 17 to 20 can be found on the sides of the refrigerated display case, a free accessibility in the self-service state 51 can not be guaranteed, but this can possibly be taken into account if this other areas, namely, for example, as the fifth embodiment of FIGS. 17 to 20 shows, on the customer side 5, can be guaranteed.

Incidentally, the cooling counters 1 shown in the figures differ only in the manner of storage of the payment days 16 and the goods protection wall 10 and the resulting precise operating procedures of the operating state 51 in the self-service state 52 and back.

All embodiments is still common that between the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the payment table 16, a rotary joint 28 is provided and the Warenschutzwandung 10 including the payday 16 can be transferred via a goods protection guide 29 from an operating position in the operating state 51 in a self-service position in self-service state 52. In alternative embodiments, a plug-in mechanism or the like can also be provided here.

To transfer from the operating position in the operating state 51 in the self-service position in the self-service state 52, the payment table 16 is initially moved from the operating state 51 via the rotary joint 28 in a travel position, in which case they need only be folded in these embodiments.

In addition, the rotary joint 28 requires that the payment table 16 is permanently connected to the goods protection wall 10 in normal operation, it being understood that for maintenance purposes, for example, the swivel joint 28 is released, or else the swivel joint 28 from the payment floor 16 or from the goods protection wall 10 can be solved to replace in this way, for example, the payment days 16 or easier to clean.

It should be noted in this context that if necessary, the refrigerated counters 1 even more Warenschutzwandungen 10 or Warenraumwandungen 18, as based on the in FIGS. 17 to 20 illustrated fifth exemplary embodiment, which may be arranged in particular laterally of the refrigerated display 1, that is parallel to the plane of the figures. Such Warenschutzwandungen may, in an alternative embodiment, if necessary, by an operating state in which they develop their protective effect and the goods protection space 30, in a self-service state 52, in which the goods protection room 30 and the goods room 2 are released, be designed be brought, wherein For this purpose, the traversing devices 33 described by way of example in the exemplary embodiments of the goods protection wall 10, and in particular, however, also alternative displacement devices may be used.

It is understood that instead of the rotary joint 28, other devices, such as connectors or the like may be provided, through which the payment table 16 can be moved from the operating position to the travel position and held in this. The advantage of such devices is similar to the advantage of the rotary joint 28 to be found in particular in that the number of days 16 then also in the movement position, and in particular later in the self-service position 52, a defined place on the Refrigerated display 1 finds. In alternative embodiments, the payday 16 may also be spent at a completely different location. For example, it would also be conceivable to spend the payday 16 in a compartment in the counter body 3, which, however, would mean considerable expense for the operating personnel 31.

At the in FIGS. 1 to 8 and 13 to 24 illustrated embodiments, the payday 16 rests in the operating state 51 on a support 12, which at the in FIGS. 1 to 8 and 13 to 20 illustrated embodiments is formed by two horizontal from a support 23 parallel to the horizontal 7 outstanding bolts. At the in FIGS. 21 to 24 illustrated embodiment, the support 12 is represented by a planar upper edge of supports 23 which can be infected at the goods protection wall 10 for the operating state 15 and spent for the self-service state 52 in a storage 24 side of the goods space 2 in the counter body 3. In one to the in FIGS. 21 to 24 embodiment illustrated alternative embodiment, the supports 12, for example, on the side goods space wall 18 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 17 to 20 or on racks, which stabilize such a lateral Warenraumwandung other embodiments, are infected, so as to ensure a sufficiently stable support 12.

In this way, a very stable storage of the payment days 16 can be ensured in the operating state 51, so that in particular, if necessary, also persons, such as operators 31 or customers 32, can be supported on the payment table 16.

In all exemplary embodiments, the numbering stage 16, as already explained above, can be brought into a movement position or else be returned from the same to the operating position via the rotary joint 28, as shown by way of example in FIG Figures 2 and 6 shown.

At the in FIGS. 9 to 12 illustrated embodiment, the support 23 and an associated support 12 is omitted. Here is a stabilization of the number of days 16 in the operating state 51 in a position parallel to the horizontal 7 via the rotary joint 28, which is provided in this regard according to intrinsically stiff or limited formed on the Warenschutzwandung 10.

In addition to the support 12 or the stabilizing effect of the rotary joint 28, the payday 16 in all embodiments, a bearing 9, against which the payday 16 abuts in the travel position, which is ultimately the case in the self-service state 52. In all embodiments illustrated in the figures, the bearing 9 is formed by the Warenschutzwandung 10, wherein in the deviating embodiments here Also separate storage, such as additional bolts or the like may be provided on the Warenschutzwandung, on the supports or similar assemblies.

In all embodiments, the goods protection guide 29 is provided for both the Warenschutzwandung 10 and 16 for the payment days leading and serves to move the Warenschutzwandung 10 from an operating position to a self-service position and the payment table 16 from a travel position in the self-service position. Also, the goods protection guide 29 is a stable storage of the goods protection wall 10 in the operating state 51, including ultimately in particular in the FIGS. 9 to 12 and 21 to 24 illustrated embodiments, a sufficient guide length should be provided, since there take the Warenschutzwandung 10 ultimately by the Zahletage 16-related moments and must be supported on the goods protection guide 29. At the in FIGS. 1 to 8 illustrated embodiments can in this regard also each of the supports 12 have a stabilizing effect, so that here, if necessary, a slightly shorter guide length can be provided.

At the in FIGS. 1 to 4 and 13 to 20 illustrated embodiments, the traversing device 33 is implemented by a cable 34 and a motor 35, so that in this way it is very easy for the operator 31, the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the payday 16 to spend in the self-service state 52 or out of this again. This is at the in FIGS. 1 to 4 and 17 to 20 illustrated embodiments, the cable 34 is deflected over a not numbered role, while this in the in FIGS. 13 to 16 illustrated embodiment without pulley happens.

At the in FIGS. 5 to 8 illustrated embodiment, a spring 36 and a cable 34 is provided so that here the operator 31 must spend the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the Zahletage 16 against the spring force of the spring 36 in the self-service state 52, where there the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the Zahletage 16 arrested in a suitable manner be what can be done for example by a separate pawl or a suitable locking connection or pressure-locking connection, as is known for example in pens. If the corresponding latching connection is released or the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the payday 16 released in any other way, the spring 36, the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the payday 16 lift, where appropriate, depending on the actual spring force, the operator 31 then still pulling or lifting must engage before the payment table 16 can be opened on the support 12 and spent in its operating position.

At the in FIGS. 5 to 8 and 13 to 16 illustrated embodiments move the supports 23 together with the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the payday 16 from the process position in the self-service position, so that the supports 23, in contrast to the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 4 and 17 to 20 , be removed from the area on the goods room 2. At the in FIGS. 13 to 16 illustrated embodiment, the supports 23 are rotated horizontally at the transition between the operating state 51 and the operating position and the process position, so that the horizontal arm of the supports 23, as in FIGS. 14 to 16 indicated, are aligned in the process position parallel to the Warenschutzwandung 10. It is understood that in different embodiments, the support 23, as based on the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4 and 17 to 20 can be left in place, or that the support 23 can be removed in other ways, which can be done, for example, by the support of a vertically directed support removed and placed in a suitable location when the self-service state 52 is reached, as for example of the embodiment according to FIGS. 12 to 24 explained. At the in FIGS. 17 to 20 illustrated supports 23 also serve to stabilize the lateral Warenraumwandung 18 and the lateral Warenschutzwandung 10. Instead of the support 12 on the supports 23 of this embodiment can also complementary supports, as exemplified by the in FIGS. 21 to 24 illustrated embodiment may be provided which are fixed in the operating state 51 to the supports 23 of this embodiment.

Instead of the spring 36 is in the embodiments according to FIGS. 9 to 12 and 21 to 24 a gas pressure spring 37 is provided, which supports a lifting of the goods protection wall 10 and the payment days 16.

It is understood that the displacement device 33 in different embodiments, combinations of the aforementioned arrangements of cable 34, motor 35, spring 36 and / or gas spring 37 may include. Likewise, other arrangements, such as linear motors or the like, come here in addition to the application.

In the present embodiment, both the number of days 16 and the Warenschutzwandung 10 are each formed as a flat and transparent panes. Depending on the specific application, opaque windows may also be provided here. Likewise, it is not mandatory that the discs or plates are flat. Here also curved arrangements are readily conceivable, which, however, possibly enforce somewhat more complex traversing 33 or goods protection guides 29.

Moreover, the refrigerated display units 1 illustrated in the exemplary embodiments have on the operator side 4 a worktop 17 which is arranged substantially parallel to the horizontal 7 and facilitates operation of the customers 32. It is also conceivable to place on the countertop 17 utensils, such as knives, forks, cash registers or scales.

As can readily be seen, the pay floors 16 and the Warenschutzwandung 10 are in Selbstbedienungszustand 52 below the height of the countertop 17 and also below the upper edge of the goods compartment 2. In addition, the goods protection 6 and the Warenschutzwandung 10 and 16 pay the goods border the goods space in the self-service position to the customer side 5 from the side and therefore also possibly a supplementary insulation. In different embodiments, it is conceivable that the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the Zahletage 16 and / or the goods protection 6 are also located below the goods compartment 2 in the self-service state 52, if this - for whatever reason - is desirable.

Likewise, it is conceivable that in different embodiments, the goods protection 6 or the Warenschutzwandung 10 and the payment 16 in the self-service state 52 are not quite as deeply moved down into the counter body 3, as long as the payment days at least partially in or below the top of the goods protection room or can be found under the goods protection room 30. Even this can already reduce the hurdle that customers 32 use themselves, compared to the state of the art significantly or sufficiently lower.
