Definitions
- One of the objectives of the invention is to provide a presentation cabinet that ensures good visibility of its content while having a storage capacity suitable for sale in small, medium or large areas.
- the invention relates to a presentation cabinet for the storage of food items, the cabinet comprising a plurality of shelves, the cabinet having a main extension direction, said height of the cabinet, the shelves being distributed on the height of the cabinet, each shelf being separated from the previous and / or the next along the height of the cabinet by an empty space intended to receive at least one of the articles, said height being confused with the direction Z an orthonormal mark (X, Y, Z) attached to the cabinet.
- the plurality of shelves are separated into at least two groups of shelves, each of the two groups of shelves comprising at least one shelf having a given depth, the depth of a shelf being measured along the Y direction of said orthonormal frame, the first group of shelves having a first depth which is greater than the depth of the shelves of the second group of shelves, said second depth, said cabinet further comprising a support strip adapted to carry a first presentation of information, said support strip marking a separation between the two groups of shelves along the direction Z.
- the presentation cabinet of the invention comprises two groups of shelves. Each of these two groups of shelves has shelves that have the same depth. Nevertheless, the two depths are different and this has the advantage of shifting one part of the cabinet relative to the other.
- a support strip for an information presentation is provided between these two cabinet parts in order, for example, to give clear indications of the contents of said cabinet, for example consumer products.
- the gap between the two groups of shelves also has the advantage of improving the direct vision of its contents. Indeed, the setting back of part of the shelves allows the user to better visualize the contents of the shelves, for example those that are advanced compared to others.
- the shelves remain relatively consistent depths.
- the invention does not provide a solution in which the shelves have a regularly reduced depth as one moves along the height of the cabinet. This has the additional benefit of providing substantial storage space.
- the presentation cabinet of the invention ensures good visibility of its content while having a storage capacity suitable in particular for sale in small, medium or large area.
- the figure 1 illustrates an example of the prior art, seen from the side.
- This figure illustrates a presentation cabinet for storing food items, the cabinet comprising a plurality of shelves all having the same depth.
- the user who is in front will have difficulty viewing the contents of certain floors of this cabinet, for example the contents of the floors marked 2 and 7 in said figure.
- this presentation cabinet the user is not guided; viewing the contents of such a cabinet is not facilitated.
- FIG. 2a schematically illustrates a first embodiment of a cabinet 10 according to the invention, seen from the side, so as to make a comparison with the prior art illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
- the presentation cabinet 10 for the storage of food items A (see Figure 2c ) comprises a plurality of shelves 21, 22.
- Display cabinet is understood to mean a piece of furniture with several floors, or levels, including in particular a door 12, in particular transparent (see figure 5a , 6 or 7 ). "Presentation cabinet” also means showcase presentation.
- the "storage” is here carried out for the purpose of selling said article A.
- shelf tablet, rack and / or rack.
- the food items A will for example be cheese products, dairy products or other items to be kept cool after packaging, for example still, deli meats.
- This list of food items A is not and the cabinet of the invention can be used with any other type of food items, including drinks or items that are usually kept at room temperature, especially dry.
- the cabinet 10 will advantageously have a principal extension direction, referred to as the height of the cabinet 10, the shelves 21, 22 being distributed over the height of the cabinet 10, each shelf 21, 22 being separated from the previous one and / or the next along the height of the cabinet 10 by a void space for receiving at least one of the articles A.
- main extension direction is meant a direction in which a height of the cabinet 10 is measured, although said height may sometimes be less than the width of said cabinet 10.
- this height will advantageously be between 1 meter and 2.5 meters; it will preferably be of the order of 2 meters.
- said height coincides with the direction Z of an orthonormal coordinate system (X, Y, Z) attached to the cabinet 10 (see Figures 2a, 3 , 4 , 5a and 7 ) and the width of the cabinet mentioned above will be measured along the X direction.
- X, Y, Z orthonormal coordinate system
- the plurality of shelves 21, 22 separates into at least two groups of shelves G1, G2, each of the two groups of shelves G1, G2 comprising shelves of the same depth.
- the first group of shelves G1 comprises two shelves 21 and the second group of shelves G2 comprises four. These figures are not limiting.
- the first group G1 may comprise between one and eight shelves 21, this without departing from the scope of the invention; similarly, the second group G2 may comprise between two and eight shelves 22, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the depth of a shelf 21, 22 will be measured along the Y direction of said orthonormal frame. So, on the figure 7 the depth of the identified shelf 224 which belongs to the group G2 and which is illustrated slightly inclined in the plane of the sheet - coincident with the plane (Y, Z) of the orthonormal coordinate system - will be measured along the direction Y is will equal to the depth of the shelves marked 221, 222 and 223 which belong to the same group G2 but which are not inclined in said plane (Y, Z).
- inclined is meant non-orthogonal to the Z axis, or non-coplanar to the (X, Y) plane.
- the first shelf group G1 will have a first depth P1 which is greater than the depth of the shelves 22 of the second shelf group G2, called the second depth P2 (see in particular figure 7 ).
- the ratio of the second depth P2 on the first depth P1 is in the range [0.4; 0.9].
- the first depth P1 will be between 30 and 50 cm and will preferably be of the order of 40 cm; while the second depth P2 will be between 40 and 60 cm and will preferably be of the order of 50 cm.
- the cabinet 10 is divided into two parts, with one part set back from the other, in particular along the Y axis (see figure 2a ), which allows a user to increase the number of floors easily visible to an outside user.
- the depth offset within the cabinet 10, especially in two separate areas has the advantage of increasing the chances that the user takes the time to detail all the items it contains.
- the arrangement of the shelves 21, 22 in two groups G1, G2 eliminates any pre-existing visual break, as for example in the case of the cabinet illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
- a complementary advantage consists in improving the lighting of the various stages, said lighting being improved by the removal of the shelves 22 of the second group G2 with respect to those of the first group G1 when the arrangement is close to that illustrated in FIG. figure 6 .
- the light source S can, with the arrangement according to the invention, illuminate an additional area L which is in front of the shelves 22 of the second group G2 and thus further improve the visibility of the contents of said shelves 22.
- This improvement is due, in particular, to the increase in the volume of illumination between the visible ends of the shelves 21, 22 and a possible transparent wall 12 provided in front.
- this wall 12 schematically illustrated on the figure 6 , will serve as a showcase, or door, depending on the needs of the buyer of the cabinet 10.
- Said door, or wall 12 when it is present on the cabinet 10, contributes to the improvement of the visibility inside the cabinet 10, in particular by reflecting a part of the light emitted by the light source S to the inside of the cabinet 10.
- said cabinet 10 comprises a support strip 30 capable of carrying a first information presentation 31, said support strip 30 marking a separation between the two groups of shelves G1, G2 along the Z direction ( see especially figure 3 , 4 or 7 ).
- support strip means a rigid or semi-rigid mechanical element capable of carrying an information presentation 31.
- the support strip 30 is designed in such a way that an information presentation 31 which would take place in the form of a cardboard, a printed sheet, a sticker and / or any other form of communication, especially commercial, is put in position and held in position on said support strip 30.
- the tape support 30 provides a surface, or advertising space, which integrates within a cabinet or showcase presentation, so as to support a communication medium called here, presentation of information 31.
- the support band 30 and the information presentation 31 will be confused, in particular in the case where the support band 30 is etched by relief information, and / or in hollow, in particular to one of its surfaces, the one visible to an outside user.
- the support strip marks a separation between the two groups of shelves G1, G2 along the Z direction
- the support strip 30 marks a boundary between the two groups of shelves G1, G2, said boundary being clearly visible to an outside user.
- the support strip 30 is not a label holder attached to the edge of one of said shelves 21, 22.
- the support strip 30 delimits two distinct sides, or two distinct zones, on either side of itself, a first side / an first zone comprising almost exclusively shelves 21 belonging to the first group G1 and a second side / a second zone comprising almost exclusively shelves 22 belonging to the second group G2; this delimitation is clearly marked, indicated, visible for an external user because it is distinguished from a possible label holder, or even of any information that would be reported, engraved, written directly on a said shelf 21, 22, in particular on the edge of one of said shelves 21, 22.
- the support strip 30 may be made of plastic, for example polyvinyl chloride (PVC), metal material, for example aluminum, or wood.
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- metal material for example aluminum, or wood.
- the width of the support strip 30, measured along the axis X may be between 40 and 150 cm; it will be equal, for example, to 60 cm or 125 cm. It is also interesting to note that the depth of the support strip 30, measured along the Y axis when the support strip 30 is measured flat, in particular in the plane (X, Y), may be between 3 and 10 cm; it may be equal, for example, to 5 cm or 6 cm.
- the support strip 30 protrudes from one of said shelves 21, 22 so that its width is measurable in the plane (X, Y), that the support strip 30 extends parallel to the plane (X, Y) or not. If the support band 30 does not extend parallel to the plane (X, Y), it is its orthogonal projection in the (X, Y) plane which is called the width which is measured in the plane (X, Y).
- Positioning and maintaining in position the information presentation 31 on the support strip 30 may be performed by any known assembly means, such as sliding inside a plastic strip or a semi permanent clipping .
- a folded strip in particular plastic PVC type, may be attached to the support strip 30 and thus serve as a slide in the manner of a label holder.
- the support band 30 may also serve as a support for a thin digital screen, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the support band 30 is similar to a silent salesman.
- This band 30, or support module 30, separates the two groups of shelves G1, G2 by giving information and leaving free the field of vision V1 of a user who would like to view the contents of a shelf 21 which is would find further down the Z axis - see the figure 3 .
- This figure 3 represents the fields of view V1, Vi and V2 which illustrate that the arrangement inside the cabinet 10 helps to increase the visibility of its contents; Vi is the intermediate field of vision between the first and second fields of view V1, V2. Vi points to the support strip 30, or support module 30.
- the user visualizes the contents of all the floors of this cabinet 10, without effort and, this same user is guided in his analysis of food items that the cabinet 10 offers information judiciously placed to be read d at a glance: those carried by the support band 30 (see field of vision marked Vi on the figure 3 ).
- the first group of shelves G1 is closer to the ground than the second shelf group G2, said support strip 30 being positioned between the two groups of shelves G1, G2.
- said support strip 30 is held in position by an attachment on one of said shelves 21, 22.
- This attachment may be magnetic and / or mechanical and / or bonding and / or any other means capable of ensuring such a fastening on one of these shelves 21, 22, in particular a shelf of the second group of shelves 22.
- the support strip 30 protrudes from the shelf on which it is held in position; it means that it exceeds the edge of this shelf 21, 22. In other words, it exceeds the edge of this shelf 21, 22 significantly and pronounced, along the Y direction.
- the depth of the shelf 22 of the second group G2, taken together with the depth of the support strip 30, when the support strip 30 is fixed to a shelf 22 of the second group G2, will not exceed, or slightly (a few centimeters), the depth of the shelf 21 of the first group G1 directly adjacent. Thus, the contents of the shelf 21 of the first directly adjacent group G1 will remain visible to an external user.
- the choice of fixing the support strip 30 to a shelf of the second group 22 is advantageous because the support strip 30 then delimits two distinct areas forming a clear boundary between the shelves 22 of the second group G2 and the shelves 21 of the first group G1.
- the support strip 30 may be equipped with a strip of light, of the LED strip type or LED neon. This will have the advantage of further improving the visibility of the contents of the shelves 21, 22 in the vicinity of the support strip 30.
- FIGs 5a, 5b and 5c gives an example of magnetic fixation.
- This attachment comprises two magnets 32, for example magnets 32 able to withstand a load whose mass can go up to 50kg.
- the carrier tape 30, or read tape 30 is compatible with a label holder 33, 33 '.
- the support strip 30 does not hide or replace the traditional label holders 33, 33 'provided at the ends of the shelves 21, 22 of such cabinets (see figure 5c ).
- the exemplary embodiments have a support strip inclined with respect to said plane (X, Y) so as to facilitate to an external user the reading of the first information presentation 31.
- the support strip 30, and therefore the first information presentation 31 may also be provided coplanar to the plane (X, Y), this without departing from the scope of the invention - see illustrations on the Figures 2b and 2c .
- the term "inclined relative to the plane (X, Y)" means an inclination in the plane (Y, Z) which is also that of the sheet.
- the coplanar version in the (X, Y) plane is a version that is orthogonal to the Z axis in said plane (Y, Z).
- the figure 4 illustrates an exemplary embodiment in which the first group of shelves G1 comprises two shelves 21 and the second group of shelves G2 comprises four.
- the shelves 21, 22 are substantially coplanar with the plane (X, Y) of the orthonormal frame.
- the cabinet of the invention may comprise, as illustrated in this figure, separators 41 which extend along the Z direction of said orthonormal frame (X, Y, Z). Said separators 41 may be used to vertically define sales areas; we then speak of separating cheeks 41.
- Said separators 41 may also serve as a support for a second information presentation 42.
- the information presentations 42 will be oriented along the Z axis, vertically, and will project from the end of the separating cheeks. 41.
- These second information presentations 42 will thus complement the first information presentations 31, for example to serve as a reading page.
- the separating cheeks 41, at the place of said second information presentations 42, may be material with said information presentations 42 so as to form a single and single information separator / presenter panel.
- Separating cheeks 41 may also serve to maintain the position of the support strip 30, especially if it is directly attached to a shelf 21, 22 as described above. Separating cheeks 41 may still serve to reinforce the holding in position of the support strip 30, in collaboration with at least one of the fasteners to a shelf 21, 22 as described above.
- separators 41, 42 may be made of plastic, for example thermoplastic, transparent or opaque, such as polymethyl methacrylate.
- the cabinet of the invention 10 may comprise at least one shelf 224 inclined relative to said plane (X, Y).
- a said inclined shelf may also belong to the first group G1 shelves 21 because its orthogonal projection in the plane (X, Y) has a length substantially equal to said second depth P1 and because it is located on the side of the area delimited by the support strip 30 which comprises the shelves 21 of greater depth (relative to the depth of the shelves 22 of the second group G2 shelves 22).
- This shelf inclined 224 may be provided with a roller system facilitating the routing of items A she carries towards the end of the shelf facing a user who is standing in front of the cabinet 10.
- the usable space for the storage of articles A in the cabinet 10 is optimized.
- the shelves 21, 22 can be assembled to the frame structure of the cabinet 10 by any known means. For example, via the end of the shelves 21, 22 which is not visible to an external user, said end being hooked to a load bar (not shown here) on the bottom 11 of the cabinet 10 (see figure 5a ), or on amounts 11 'passing through this bottom 11 (see figure 5b ).
- a fastening system with flaps may also be used, the flaps serving as brackets. Separate brackets may also be used, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the cabinet 10 of the invention which has just been described will find a particular application in the field of refrigerated cabinets. More specifically, the cabinet 10 of the invention is intended to keep said articles A cool.
- the recoil between the two groups of shelves G1, G2 of the cabinet 10, taken in combination with the presence of a read strip 30 between these two groups of shelves G1, G2, will be advantageously adapted for cabinets 10 of which the width measured along the X axis is of the order of 40 cm, 60 cm, or 125 cm.
- the offset obtained by the depth variations of different shelves 21, 22 may form more than two distinct groups, in particular three distinct groups, with a greater number of support strips 30, by for example, two support strips 30 for three distinct groups.

Description
Il est connu de prévoir des armoires de présentation pour des articles vendus en petite, moyenne ou grande surface. Il est aussi connu de prévoir ces armoires sous la forme de vitrines à air réfrigéré, notamment pour des articles devant être stockés au frais. Certaines demandes de brevet traitent, ainsi, de la conception/de l'agencement des étagères à l'intérieur desdites armoires. Par exemple, les demandes de brevet
Néanmoins, les arrangements divulgués dans ces demandes de brevet ne proposent pas une visibilité optimale du contenu de ces armoires, ni une capacité de stockage suffisante.However, the arrangements disclosed in these patent applications do not provide optimal visibility of the contents of these cabinets, nor sufficient storage capacity.
Un des objectifs de l'invention consiste à proposer une armoire de présentation qui assure une bonne visibilité de son contenu tout en présentant une capacité de stockage adaptée à la vente en petite, moyenne ou grande surface.One of the objectives of the invention is to provide a presentation cabinet that ensures good visibility of its content while having a storage capacity suitable for sale in small, medium or large areas.
Ainsi, l'invention concerne une armoire de présentation destinée au stockage d'articles alimentaires, l'armoire comprenant une pluralité d'étagères, l'armoire présentant une direction d'extension principale, dite hauteur de l'armoire, les étagères étant réparties sur la hauteur de l'armoire, chaque étagère étant séparée de la précédente et/ou de la suivante le long de la hauteur de l'armoire par un espace vide destiné à recevoir au moins un des articles, ladite hauteur étant confondue avec la direction Z d'un repère orthonormé (X, Y, Z) attaché à l'armoire.Thus, the invention relates to a presentation cabinet for the storage of food items, the cabinet comprising a plurality of shelves, the cabinet having a main extension direction, said height of the cabinet, the shelves being distributed on the height of the cabinet, each shelf being separated from the previous and / or the next along the height of the cabinet by an empty space intended to receive at least one of the articles, said height being confused with the direction Z an orthonormal mark (X, Y, Z) attached to the cabinet.
Selon l'invention, la pluralité d'étagères se sépare en au moins deux groupes d'étagères, chacun des deux groupes d'étagères comprenant au moins une étagère ayant une profondeur donnée , la profondeur d'une étagère étant mesurée le long de la direction Y dudit repère orthonormée, le premier groupe d'étagères présentant une première profondeur qui est supérieure à la profondeur des étagères du second groupe d'étagères, dite seconde profondeur, ladite armoire comprenant, en outre, une bande support apte à porter une première présentation d'information, ladite bande support marquant une séparation entre les deux groupes d'étagères le long de la direction Z.According to the invention, the plurality of shelves are separated into at least two groups of shelves, each of the two groups of shelves comprising at least one shelf having a given depth, the depth of a shelf being measured along the Y direction of said orthonormal frame, the first group of shelves having a first depth which is greater than the depth of the shelves of the second group of shelves, said second depth, said cabinet further comprising a support strip adapted to carry a first presentation of information, said support strip marking a separation between the two groups of shelves along the direction Z.
L'armoire de présentation de l'invention comprend deux groupes d'étagères. Chacun de ces deux groupes d'étagères présente des étagères qui ont la même profondeur. Néanmoins, les deux profondeurs sont différentes et cela présente l'avantage de décaler une partie de l'armoire par rapport à l'autre.The presentation cabinet of the invention comprises two groups of shelves. Each of these two groups of shelves has shelves that have the same depth. Nevertheless, the two depths are different and this has the advantage of shifting one part of the cabinet relative to the other.
De plus, une bande support destinée à une présentation d'information est prévue entre ces deux parties d'armoire afin, par exemple, de donner des indications claires du contenu de ladite armoire, par exemple des produits de grande consommation.In addition, a support strip for an information presentation is provided between these two cabinet parts in order, for example, to give clear indications of the contents of said cabinet, for example consumer products.
Le décalage entre les deux groupes d'étagères présente aussi l'avantage d'améliorer la vision directe de son contenu. En effet, la mise en retrait d'une partie des étagères permet à l'utilisateur de mieux visualiser le contenu des étagères, par exemple de celles qui sont avancées par rapport aux autres.The gap between the two groups of shelves also has the advantage of improving the direct vision of its contents. Indeed, the setting back of part of the shelves allows the user to better visualize the contents of the shelves, for example those that are advanced compared to others.
D'autre part, les étagères restent de profondeurs relativement conséquentes. Autrement dit, l'invention ne propose pas une solution dans laquelle les étagères ont une profondeur régulièrement réduite au fur et à mesure que l'on se déplace le long de la hauteur de l'armoire. Cela présente l'avantage supplémentaire de proposer un espace de stockage conséquent.On the other hand, the shelves remain relatively consistent depths. In other words, the invention does not provide a solution in which the shelves have a regularly reduced depth as one moves along the height of the cabinet. This has the additional benefit of providing substantial storage space.
Ainsi, l'armoire de présentation de l'invention assure une bonne visibilité de son contenu tout en présentant une capacité de stockage adaptée notamment à la vente en petite, moyenne ou grande surface.Thus, the presentation cabinet of the invention ensures good visibility of its content while having a storage capacity suitable in particular for sale in small, medium or large area.

Cette figure illustre une armoire de présentation destinée au stockage d'articles alimentaires, l'armoire comprenant une pluralité d'étagères ayant toutes la même profondeur. L'utilisateur qui se trouve en face aura des difficultés à visualiser le contenu de certains étages de cette armoire, par exemple le contenu des étages repérés 2 et 7 sur ladite figure. D'autre part, dans le cas de cette armoire de présentation, l'utilisateur n'est pas guidé ; la visualisation du contenu d'une telle armoire ne lui est pas facilitée.This figure illustrates a presentation cabinet for storing food items, the cabinet comprising a plurality of shelves all having the same depth. The user who is in front will have difficulty viewing the contents of certain floors of this cabinet, for example the contents of the floors marked 2 and 7 in said figure. On the other hand, in the case of this presentation cabinet, the user is not guided; viewing the contents of such a cabinet is not facilitated.
La
Sur cette figure, l'armoire de présentation 10 destinée au stockage d'articles alimentaires A (voir
On entend par « armoire de présentation », un meuble à plusieurs étages, ou niveaux, comprenant notamment une porte 12, en particulier transparente (voir
Le « stockage » est ici effectué dans l'objectif de vendre ledit article A.The "storage" is here carried out for the purpose of selling said article A.
Par « étagère », on entend tablette, rack et/ou rayonnage.By "shelf" is meant tablet, rack and / or rack.
Ici, les articles alimentaires A seront par exemple des articles fromagers, laitiers ou autres articles devant être conservés au frais après emballage, par exemple encore, de la charcuterie. Cette liste d'articles alimentaires A n'est pas exhaustive et l'armoire de l'invention pourra être utilisée avec tout autre type d'articles alimentaires, notamment des boissons ou des items qui sont habituellement conservés à température ambiante, notamment à sec.Here, the food items A will for example be cheese products, dairy products or other items to be kept cool after packaging, for example still, deli meats. This list of food items A is not and the cabinet of the invention can be used with any other type of food items, including drinks or items that are usually kept at room temperature, especially dry.
L'armoire 10 présentera avantageusement une direction d'extension principale, dite hauteur de l'armoire 10, les étagères 21, 22 étant réparties sur la hauteur de l'armoire 10, chaque étagère 21, 22 étant séparée de la précédente et/ou de la suivante le long de la hauteur de l'armoire 10 par un espace vide destiné à recevoir au moins un des articles A.The
On entend par « direction d'extension principale », une direction selon laquelle est mesurée une hauteur de l'armoire 10, bien que ladite hauteur puisse parfois être inférieure à la largeur de ladite armoire 10.By "main extension direction" is meant a direction in which a height of the
A titre d'exemple, cette hauteur sera avantageusement comprise entre 1 mètre et 2,5 mètres ; elle sera de préférence de l'ordre de 2 mètres.For example, this height will advantageously be between 1 meter and 2.5 meters; it will preferably be of the order of 2 meters.
A titre de précision, ladite hauteur est confondue avec la direction Z d'un repère orthonormé (X, Y, Z) attaché à l'armoire 10 (voir
Selon l'invention, la pluralité d'étagères 21, 22 se sépare en au moins deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2, chacun des deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2 comprenant des étagères de même profondeur.According to the invention, the plurality of
Dans les versions illustrées aux
La profondeur d'une étagère 21, 22 sera mesurée le long de la direction Y dudit repère orthonormée. Ainsi, sur la
Par « inclinée », on entend non orthogonal à l'axe Z, ou encore non coplanaire au plan (X, Y).By "inclined" is meant non-orthogonal to the Z axis, or non-coplanar to the (X, Y) plane.
Avantageusement, le premier groupe d'étagère G1 présentera une première profondeur P1 qui est supérieure à la profondeur des étagères 22 du second groupe d'étagère G2, dite seconde profondeur P2 (voir notamment
Avantageusement, encore, le rapport de la seconde profondeur P2 sur la première profondeur P1 est compris dans l'intervalle [0,4 ; 0,9]. A titre d'exemple, la première profondeur P1 sera comprise entre 30 et 50 cm et sera de préférence de l'ordre de 40 cm ; tandis que la seconde profondeur P2 sera comprise entre 40 et 60 cm et sera de préférence de l'ordre de 50 cm.Advantageously, again, the ratio of the second depth P2 on the first depth P1 is in the range [0.4; 0.9]. By way of example, the first depth P1 will be between 30 and 50 cm and will preferably be of the order of 40 cm; while the second depth P2 will be between 40 and 60 cm and will preferably be of the order of 50 cm.
Ainsi, l'armoire 10 se décompose en deux parties, avec une partie en retrait par rapport à l'autre, en particulier le long de l'axe Y (voir
Un avantage complémentaire consiste en l'amélioration de l'éclairage des différents étages, ledit éclairage étant amélioré par le retrait des étagères 22 du second groupe G2 par rapport à celles du premier groupe G1 lorsque l'agencement est voisin de celui illustré à la
En effet, comme illustré sur cette figure, la source lumineuse S peut, avec l'agencement selon l'invention, éclairer une zone supplémentaire L qui se trouve devant les étagères 22 du second groupe G2 et ainsi encore améliorer la visibilité du contenu desdites étagères 22. Cette amélioration est due, en particulier, à l'augmentation du volume d'éclairage entre les extrémités visibles des étagères 21, 22 et une éventuelle paroi transparente 12 prévue devant.Indeed, as illustrated in this figure, the light source S can, with the arrangement according to the invention, illuminate an additional area L which is in front of the
A titre d'exemple, cette paroi 12, illustrée schématiquement sur la
Ladite porte, ou paroi 12, lorsqu'elle est présente sur l'armoire 10, participe à l'amélioration de la visibilité à l'intérieur de l'armoire 10, en particulier en réfléchissant une partie de la lumière émise par la source lumineuse S vers l'intérieur de l'armoire 10.Said door, or
Selon l'invention, encore, ladite armoire 10 comprend une bande support 30 apte à porter une première présentation d'information 31, ladite bande support 30 marquant une séparation entre les deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2 le long de la direction Z (voir notamment
On entend par « bande support » un élément mécanique rigide ou semi-rigide étant apte à porter une présentation d'information 31. Autrement dit, la bande support 30 est conçue de manière à ce qu'une présentation d'information 31 qui se présenterait sous la forme d'un carton, d'une feuille imprimée, d'un sticker et/ou tout autre forme de communication, notamment commerciale, soit mise en position et maintenue en position sur ladite bande support 30. Encore autrement dit, la bande support 30 propose une surface, ou espace publicitaire, qui s'intègre au sein d'une armoire, ou vitrine de présentation, de manière à supporter un support de communication appelé, ici, présentation d'information 31.The term "support strip" means a rigid or semi-rigid mechanical element capable of carrying an
A titre d'alternative, la bande support 30 et la présentation d'information 31 seront confondues, notamment dans le cas où la bande support 30 est gravée par des informations en relief, et/ou en creux, notamment à l'une de ses surfaces, celle visible pour un utilisateur extérieur.As an alternative, the
On entend par « la bande support marque une séparation entre les deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2 le long de la direction Z » le fait que la bande support 30 marque une frontière entre les deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2, ladite frontière étant clairement visible pour un utilisateur extérieur.It is understood by "the support strip marks a separation between the two groups of shelves G1, G2 along the Z direction" the fact that the
Autrement dit, la bande support 30 n'est pas un porte-étiquettes rapporté au bord d'une desdites étagères 21, 22.In other words, the
Encore autrement dit, la bande support 30 délimite deux côtés distincts, ou encore deux zones distinctes, de part et d'autre d'elle-même, un premier côté/une première zone comprenant quasi-exclusivement des étagères 21 appartenant au premier groupe G1 et un second côté/une seconde zone comprenant quasi-exclusivement des étagères 22 appartenant au second groupe G2 ; cette délimitation est clairement marquée, indiquée, visible pour un utilisateur extérieur car elle se distingue d'un éventuel porte-étiquettes, voire d'une éventuelle information qui serait rapportée, gravée, écrite directement sur une dite étagère 21, 22, en particulier sur le bord d'une desdites étagères 21, 22.In other words, the
Il est intéressant de noter que la bande support 30 pourra être réalisée en matière plastique, par exemple en polychlorure de vinyle (PVC), en matériau métallique, par exemple en aluminium, ou encore, en bois.It is interesting to note that the
Il est intéressant de noter que la largeur de la bande support 30, mesurée le long de l'axe X, pourra être comprise entre 40 et 150 cm ; elle sera notamment égale, à titre d'exemple, à 60 cm ou à 125 cm. Il est également intéressant de noter que la profondeur de la bande support 30, mesurée le long de l'axe Y lorsque la bande support 30 est mesurée à plat, notamment dans le plan (X, Y), pourra être comprise entre 3 et 10 cm ; elle pourra être égale, à titre d'exemple, à 5 cm ou à 6 cm.It is interesting to note that the width of the
Autrement dit, la bande support 30 fait saillie par rapport à l'une desdites étagères 21, 22 de manière à ce que sa largeur soit mesurable dans le plan (X, Y), ceci que la bande support 30 s'étende parallèlement au plan (X, Y) ou pas. Si la bande support 30 ne s'étend pas parallèlement au plan (X, Y), c'est sa projection orthogonale dans le plan (X, Y) qui est appelée largeur qui est mesurée dans le plan (X, Y).In other words, the
La mise en position et le maintien en position de la présentation d'information 31 sur la bande support 30 pourra être réalisée par tout moyen d'assemblage connu, tel que le coulissement à l'intérieur d'une bande plastique ou un clipsage semi permanent. Pour ce faire, une bande pliée, notamment en plastique de type PVC, pourra être rapportée sur la bande support 30 et ainsi servir de glissière à la façon d'un porte-étiquettes. La bande support 30 pourra aussi servir de support à un écran numérique fin, ceci sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Positioning and maintaining in position the
La bande support 30 s'apparente à un vendeur muet. Cette bande 30, ou module support 30, sépare les deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2 en donnant de l'information et en laissant libre le champ de vision V1 d'un utilisateur qui souhaiterait visualiser le contenu d'une étagère 21 qui se trouverait plus bas le long de l'axe Z - voir la
La combinaison entre les deux caractéristiques suivantes est particulièrement avantageuse :
- le décalage des profondeurs entre deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2, et
- la présence d'une bande
support 30 pourprésentation d'information 31.
- the offset of the depths between two groups of shelves G1, G2, and
- the presence of a
support band 30 for presentinginformation 31.
En effet, l'utilisateur visualise le contenu de l'ensemble des étages de cette armoire 10, sans effort et, ce même utilisateur est guidé dans son analyse des articles alimentaires que l'armoire 10 propose par des informations placées judicieusement pour être lues d'un coup d'oeil : celles portées par la bande support 30 (voir champ de vision repéré Vi sur la
A titre de précision, et tel que cela est illustré sur les
A titre de précision, encore, ladite bande support 30 est maintenue en position par une fixation sur une desdites étagères 21, 22. Cette fixation pourra être magnétique et/ou mécanique et/ou un collage et/ou tout autre moyen capable d'assurer une telle fixation sur une de ces étagères 21, 22, notamment une étagère du second groupe d'étagères 22.For the sake of precision, again, said
Ainsi, la bande support 30 fait saillie par rapport à l'étagère sur laquelle elle est maintenue en position ; cela signifie qu'elle dépasse du bord de cette étagère 21, 22. Autrement dit, elle dépasse du bord de cette étagère 21, 22 de manière significative et prononcée, le long de la direction Y.Thus, the
Quelque soit la fixation choisie, celle-ci sera avantageusement aisée ; elle se fera avantageusement sans l'aide d'outils extérieur, de manière à ce qu'un opérateur de montage prenne un temps réduit à installer ladite bande support 30.Whatever the attachment chosen, it will be advantageously easy; it will be advantageously without the aid of external tools, so that a mounting operator takes a reduced time to install said
Elle pourra aussi se faire par soudage en usine, ou encore par boulonnage en usine ou sur le lieu de son installation.It can also be done by welding in factory, or by bolting in the factory or at the place of its installation.
La profondeur de l'étagère 22 du second groupe G2, prise ensemble avec la profondeur de la bande support 30, lorsque la bande support 30 est fixée à une étagère 22 du second groupe G2, ne dépassera pas, ou peu (quelques centimètres), la profondeur de l'étagère 21 du premier groupe G1 directement adjacente. Ainsi, le contenu de l'étagère 21 du premier groupe G1 directement adjacente restera visible à un utilisateur extérieur.The depth of the
Le choix de fixer la bande support 30 à une étagère du second groupe 22 est avantageux car la bande support 30 délimite alors deux zones distinctes en formant une frontière claire entre les étagères 22 du second groupe G2 et les étagères 21 du premier groupe G1.The choice of fixing the
A titre d'alternative, la bande support 30 pourra être équipée d'un bandeau lumineux, de type bandeau à diode électroluminescente (DEL) ou néon. Ceci présentera l'avantage d'améliorer encore la visibilité du contenu des étagères 21, 22 au voisinage de la bande support 30.As an alternative, the
Les
Sur les
A titre d'alternative, la bande support 30, et donc la première présentation d'information 31 pourra aussi être prévue coplanaire au plan (X, Y), ceci sans sortir du cadre de l'invention - voir illustrations sur les
Le choix entre la version inclinée et la version coplanaire au plan (X, Y) se fera à discrétion de l'acheteur de l'armoire 10. Quel que soit ce choix, la séparation que constitue ladite bande support 30 entre les deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2 ne vient pas empêcher la visibilité, pour un utilisateur extérieur, des articles disposés sur l'étagère directement en dessous, en particulier lorsque l'armoire 10 prend appui sur le sol S ; voir pour exemple l'étagère repérée 212 sur la
On entend par « coplanaire au plan (X, Y) », parallèle au plan (X, Y)."Coplanar plane (X, Y)", parallel to the plane (X, Y).
On entend par « inclinée par rapport au plan (X, Y) », une inclinaison dans le plan (Y, Z) qui est aussi celui de la feuille. Autrement dit, la version coplanaire au plan (X, Y) est une version qui est orthogonale à l'axe Z dans ledit plan (Y, Z).The term "inclined relative to the plane (X, Y)" means an inclination in the plane (Y, Z) which is also that of the sheet. In other words, the coplanar version in the (X, Y) plane is a version that is orthogonal to the Z axis in said plane (Y, Z).
La
Avantageusement, l'armoire de l'invention pourra comprendre, comme illustré sur cette figure, des séparateurs 41 qui s'étendent le long de la direction Z dudit repère orthonormé (X, Y, Z). Lesdits séparateurs 41 pourront servir à délimiter verticalement des zones de ventes ; on parle alors de joues séparatrices 41.Advantageously, the cabinet of the invention may comprise, as illustrated in this figure,
Lesdits séparateurs 41 pourront aussi servir de support à une seconde présentation d'information 42. Dans ce cas précis, les présentations d'information 42 seront orientées le long de l'axe Z, verticalement, et feront saillies de l'extrémité des joues séparatrices 41. Ces secondes présentations d'information 42 viendront donc en complément des premières présentations d'information 31, par exemple pour servir de page de lecture. Les joues séparatrices 41, à l'endroit desdites secondes présentations d'information 42, pourront être issues de matière avec lesdites présentations d'informations 42 de manière à former un seul et unique panneau séparateur/présentateur d'information.Said
Les joues séparatrices 41 pourront aussi servir au maintien en position de la bande support 30, notamment si celle-ci n'est directement fixée à une étagère 21, 22 comme décrit précédemment. Les joues séparatrices 41 pourront encore servir à renforcer le maintien en position de la bande support 30, en collaboration avec l'une au moins des fixations à une étagère 21, 22 comme décrit précédemment.Separating
Il est intéressant de noter que les séparateurs 41, 42 pourront être réalisés en matière plastique, par exemple en thermoplastique, transparent ou opaque, tel que le polyméthacrylate de méthyle.It is interesting to note that the
D'autre part, comme cela est illustré aux
Considérant que la projection orthogonale de ladite étagère 224 inclinée dans le plan (X, Y) présente une longueur sensiblement égale à ladite seconde profondeur P2 et qu'elle se situe du côté de la zone délimitée par la bande de support 30 qui comprend les étagères 22 de plus petite profondeur (par rapport à la profondeur des étagères 21 du premier groupe G1 d'étagères 21), on considèrera que ladite étagère 224 inclinée appartient au second groupe d'étagères.Considering that the orthogonal projection of said shelf inclined in the plane (X, Y) has a length substantially equal to said second depth P2 and that it is situated on the side of the zone delimited by the
Cela n'est pas limitatif.This is not limiting.
En effet, une dite étagère inclinée pourra aussi appartenir au premier groupe G1 d'étagères 21 car sa projection orthogonale dans le plan (X, Y) présente une longueur sensiblement égale à ladite seconde profondeur P1 et car elle se situe du côté de la zone délimitée par la bande de support 30 qui comprend les étagères 21 de plus grande profondeur (par rapport à la profondeur des étagères 22 du second groupe G2 d'étagères 22).Indeed, a said inclined shelf may also belong to the first
Cette étagère 224 inclinée, qu'elle appartienne au premier ou au second groupe d'étagères G1, G2, pourra être munie d'un système à rouleaux facilitant l'acheminement des articles A qu'elle porte vers l'extrémité de l'étagère qui fait face à un utilisateur qui se tient debout devant l'armoire 10. Ainsi, l'espace utilisable pour le stockage d'articles A dans l'armoire 10 est optimisé.This shelf inclined 224, whether belonging to the first or second group of shelves G1, G2, may be provided with a roller system facilitating the routing of items A she carries towards the end of the shelf facing a user who is standing in front of the
Il est intéressant de noter que les étagères 21, 22 pourront être assemblées à la structure cadre de l'armoire 10 par tout moyen connu. Par exemple, via l'extrémité des étagères 21, 22 qui n'est pas visible à un utilisateur extérieur, ladite extrémité étant accrochée à une barre de charge (non illustrée ici) sur le fond 11 de l'armoire 10 (voir
Un système de fixation à rabats pourra aussi être utilisé, les rabats servant d'équerres. Des équerres séparées pourront aussi être utilisées, ceci sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.A fastening system with flaps may also be used, the flaps serving as brackets. Separate brackets may also be used, without departing from the scope of the invention.
L'armoire 10 de l'invention qui vient d'être décrite trouvera une application particulière dans le domaine des armoires réfrigérées. Plus précisément, l'armoire 10 de l'invention est destinée à garder lesdits articles A au frais.The
Le recul entre les deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2 de l'armoire 10, pris en combinaison avec la présence d'une bande de lecture 30 entre ces deux groupes d'étagères G1, G2, sera avantageusement adapté pour des armoires 10 dont la largeur mesurée le long de l'axe X est de l'ordre de 40 cm, 60 cm, ou 125 cm.The recoil between the two groups of shelves G1, G2 of the
Il est à noter que des variantes de réalisation sont bien sûr possibles. Notamment, dans un exemple de réalisation supplémentaire (non illustré), le décalage obtenu par les variations de profondeurs de différentes étagères 21, 22 peut former plus de deux groupes distincts, notamment trois groupes distincts, avec un nombre supérieur de bandes support 30, par exemple deux bandes supports 30 pour trois groupes distincts.It should be noted that alternative embodiments are of course possible. In particular, in a further exemplary embodiment (not shown), the offset obtained by the depth variations of
