Definitions

  • the present patent application relates to a "next customer” bar provided with fixing means for an advertising panel.
  • AT505898 discloses a "next customer” bar according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • next customer bar is used to indicate a mobile bar used in supermarket cash counters - and more precisely on conveyor belts - to separate the items presented at checkout by a customer from the ones purchased by the following customer.
  • the bars are provided with a longitudinal slot obtained on the upper profile, as well as suitable for receiving a two-sided rigid panel with the desired advertising message in edgeways position.
  • the present invention has been conceived in order to solve a significant drawback that is currently encountered when using the "next customer" bars of the latter type, i.e. the bars that are suitable for acting as support for a rigid advertising panel.
  • the panel naturally tends to be accidentally removed from the bar, possibly when the bar is tilted or overturned by an absent-minded or hurried customer.
  • the second reason refers to the fact that the "next customer" bar is continuously handled by supermarket customers, without paying special attention.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a "next customer" bar that is provided with fixing means in order to guarantee the stable coupling of a rigid advertising panel.
  • Another purpose is to provide said fixing means in such a configuration to permit the user of the bar according to the invention to activate or deactivate them rapidly and easily.
  • another purpose of the present invention is to guarantee that the "next customer" bars, and especially the fixing means of the rigid advertising panel, are produced with a very low cost, making the bars of the invention competitive compared to the traditional "next customer” bars that are not capable of firmly holding the rigid advertising panels.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to position the means used to fix the advertising panel in a position that is not visible during the normal use of the bar of the invention, in order not to keep the general aesthetical appearance of the bar unchanged.
  • the two pins are disposed in the longitudinal slot that is used by the bar of the invention to receive the lower longitudinal edge of a rigid advertising panel.
  • the two pins can be moved from a non-operating condition, wherein their eccentric profiles are maintained out of the slot of the bar, to an operating position, wherein the eccentric profiles shortly occupy the section of said slot.
  • the bar of the invention (B) has a modular structure of traditional type, which comprises the following cooperating parts made of plastic materials.
  • the first one of said parts is a rectangular plate (1) with a narrow elongated shape, which is provided with rounded ends (1a).
  • Two cylindrical metal rods (1b) are longitudinally mounted on said plate (1), being simply intended to make the bar (B) heavier in order to guarantee the stability of the bar when it is positioned on the conveyor belt of a supermarket cash-counter.
  • the second one of said parts is a box-shaped top (2) with a rectangular shape and an overturned "U"-shaped cross-section.
  • Said top (2) can be fitted on said plate (1) by means of a set of hooks (20) and holding points disposed between the plate (1) and the top (2), said top (2) being shorter than the plate (1) in order not to cover the two rounded ends (1a).
  • the top (2) is provided with a longitudinal central slot (2a) that is defined by a close pair of vertical edges (2b, 2c) on the interior of the top (2).
  • the third one of said parts is a pair of covers (3), each of them suitable for being fitted onto one of said rounded ends (1a) of the plate (1), exactly covering it, by means of a set of hooks (30) and holding points disposed between the cover (3) and the rounded end (1a).
  • the assembly sequence of the three parts (1, 2, 3) provides for fastening the two lateral covers (3) onto the rounded ends (1a) of the plate (1) and then introducing the top (2) between them until the top (2) is attached onto the plate (1).
  • the longitudinal slot (2a) of the top (2) can exactly receive the lower horizontal edge (4a) of a rigid advertising panel (4) with rectangular shape that needs to be vertically supported by the bar (B).
  • the bar (B) is provided with two pins with vertical axis (5) that are suitable for being disposed between said plate (1) and the box-shaped top (2), substantially at the two ends of said slot (2a) of the top (2).
  • Each of said pins (5) comprises a cylindrical stem (5a) that protrudes upwards from the center of a circular flange (5b); a cylindrical bulb (5c) with a diametral notch (5c') is provided in projecting position under said circular flange (5b).
  • Another peculiarity of a similar pin (5) consists in the fact that it is provided, at approximately half of its cylindrical stem (5a), with a cam (5d) obtained as a set of three ribs with substantial semicircular shape.
  • the plate (1) is provided with two circular through holes (6), disposed in proximal position to the first one of its longitudinal edged (1c); it being also provided that each of said holes (6) occupies a position that substantially corresponds to the position occupied in the top (2) by each end of said slot (2a).
  • niches (7) are obtained on the first one (2b) of the two edges that define the vertical slot (2a), each niche (7) being disposed at one end of the slot (2a), exactly above the holes (6) of the plate (1), which are in communication with the internal space of said niches (7).
  • a cylindrical housing (7a) is provided at the upper end of each niche (7), in coaxial position with the hole (6) of the plate (1).
  • the two pins (5) In order to assemble the bar (B), the two pins (5) must be inserted from up downwards inside the holes (6) obtained on the plate (1).
  • said cylindrical bulb (5c) of each pin (5) is inserted into one of the holes (6) of the plate (1), until the circular flange (5b) which suitably has a larger diameter than the hole (6), stops against the surface of the plate (1), all around the hole (6).
  • the height of said bulb (5c) of the pin (5) is substantially equal to the thickness of the hole (6) in order to prevent said bulb (5c) from projecting under the hole (6).
  • the following operation consists in inserting the top (2) onto the plate (1), in such a way that the cylindrical stem (5a) of each of the two pins (5) is exactly inserted, from down upwards, inside said circular housing (7a) that is provided in said niches (7) obtained in the top (2).
  • the tip of a screwdriver must be inserted in each one of the holes (6) obtained in the plate (1), in such a way that the tip is introduced in the diametral notch (5c') of the cylindrical bulb (5c) of the pin (5).
  • a similar adjustment of the angular position of the pins (5) can be obtained by introducing a screwdriver in the diametral notch (5c') provided on the bulb (5c) of each pin (5) through the hole (6) of the plate (1).
