Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cash desk (16) with an integrated goods issue device (1) according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such cash desks are used in the sales rooms of department stores, such as supermarkets.
  • Known cash desks are usually also equipped with shelves for so-called pulse products and tobacco goods. These articles are intended to encourage customers to make a spontaneous purchase.
  • the goods shelves use storage space above the goods supply belt.
  • the goods in the shelf are also theft risk.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a checkout counter with a safe and reliable goods delivery device.
  • the goods issue device proposed here comprises at least one goods shaft.
  • the goods well has a substantially cuboid shape and comprises a movable bottom plate, which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the shaft. On the bottom plate, the individual goods, one above the other, arranged.
  • the goods shaft opens into a goods issue area, which is accessible via a flap. From the goods issue area, the in Goods shed goods are taken one after the other.
  • the flap is pivotally mounted. When swiveling the flap, a single product is detected by the same and pushed out of the goods issue area, so that a customer can remove the goods.
  • the goods shaft has a cuboid shape and comprises an inner, displaceable in the direction of the goods issue area bottom plate.
  • a spring preferably a coil spring, attached at the end.
  • the other end of the spring is attached to the goods well in the vicinity of the goods issue area, whereby the bottom plate experiences a force in the direction of the goods issue area. Since the individual goods are stacked on the bottom plate, they also experience a force in the direction of the goods issue area. An uncontrolled pushing out of the individual goods is prevented by the closing flap.
  • the flap which closes the goods issue area, is formed of a flat piece whose ends are bent towards each other, so that the flap has substantially the shape of a half-cylinder. At one end of the flap, a handle is formed over which the customer can swing the flap up or swing out.
  • the goods issuing device is integrated in a checkout counter of a department store.
  • the scarce storage space in the cashier area in particular the storage space below and behind the goods conveyor belt, be optimally utilized.
  • the goods may also be tobacco pouches or other geometrically indeterminate goods, such as packaged electronics.
  • the goods issuing device can be combined with a tobacco machine.
  • a suitable Tabakwarenautomat is for example from the WO 2011088841 A1 known.
  • Such a tobacco machine is also integrated in the counter of a department store.
  • the goods issue device can be operated via a control panel of the tobacco machine.
  • the access to the tobacco cans can be controlled by a cashier of the department store.
  • a counter may be located near the goods issue area, indicating the number of goods in the shaft.
  • the counter can be mechanical or digital.
  • a mechanical version is useful if you want to operate the goods dispenser independently of the mains. Since the goods issue function works purely mechanically, this is quite possible. As a result, the goods issuing device is also particularly environmentally friendly
  • the flap closing the goods issue area is preferably designed to be transparent. This allows the customer to see the goods directly and select accordingly.
  • the individual goods issue areas do not have to be labeled with the product name and can optionally be equipped with different goods without having to change or adapt a label.
  • the transparent flap is off Polycarbonate produced. As a result, the flap is made stable and scratch resistant. But also laminated glass or other transparent materials are quite suitable. In the case of tobacco goods in particular, such a presentation of goods offers itself, since the packaging design often changes.
  • the goods issue device In the goods shaft of the goods issuing device, individual goods, stacked, can be stored. For this purpose, the individual goods are placed on the bottom plate of the shaft and pressed against the spring force into the shaft. Previously, to swing out the flap from the goods issue area and zoom in again when inserting the goods, so that the bottom plate is released from the lateral surface of the flap. This process is repeated until the goods bay is full. The filling process is carried out almost inversely for the removal of goods.
  • the customer can also swing the flap back to the goods issue area, as a result of which the upward movement of a product into the goods issue area described above also takes place.
  • the longitudinal sides of the goods shaft are in the direction of the goods issue area bent inwardly and act as retaining elements for the spring force upward striving goods.
  • the customer can remove the goods from this position one after the other. If a flap is provided, the customer can remove a product after opening the flap.
  • the goods underneath move into the goods issue area and are again braked by the retaining elements.
  • the filling process is again reversed for removal.
  • FIG. 1 shows the goods issue area 2 of an inventive goods output device 1.
  • the goods issue area 2 is closed by a transparent flap 3.
  • a merchandise 4 lying in the goods shaft at the top for waiting to be issued.
  • FIG. 2 which function the flap 3 takes in the goods issue.
  • the flap consists in this embodiment of a 2 mm thick, transparent polycarbonate plate, which has a curved shape.
  • the curved shape has the shape of a half-cylinder with an outer circumferential surface 8.
  • the one end of the flap 3 forms an edge 6, the function of which will be described in more detail below.
  • a handle 7 is formed for the customer, which is configured in this embodiment as an arcuate recess in the lateral surface 8.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a goods shaft 10 of the invention can be seen.
  • the shaft has essentially a cuboid shape, wherein on the narrow sides in each case a slot 9 is introduced, through which a fastening element 11 protrudes, that is connected to a bottom plate (not visible here), on which the individual goods are stacked.
  • a fastening element 12 is also provided on the narrow sides.
  • a coil spring 13 is tensioned. By the coil spring-engages the bottom plate to a force acting in the direction of the goods issue area 2 - ie against gravity.
  • FIGS. 4a + b show an alternative embodiment of a goods shaft 10 of the goods dispensing device 1.
  • the back of the goods shaft 10 is provided with a slot 9 through which the fastening element 11 of the bottom plate 14 projects outwardly.
  • another fastener 12 fixedly mounted in the Upper region of the back of the goods shaft 10 .
  • a coil spring 13 is attached, which pulls the bottom plate 14 to the goods issue area 2.
  • the goods issue area 2 is limited by sheet edges 15.
  • the goods 4 can not be pushed beyond these edges 15 out by the spring 13 upwards.
  • FIG. 5 shows a goods dispensing device 1 according to the invention, which is integrated in a checkout counter 16 of a department store.
  • a plurality of individual goods shafts 10 are arranged next to and behind each other.
  • a vending machine for dispensing tobacco products is arranged, for example, from the EP 1860621 B1 is known.
  • the individual tobacco products can be requested via the control panel 17. It is advantageous if the individual goods issue devices 1 can also be operated via the control panel 17 of the tobacco vending machine.
  • 10 bolts could be present on the inner wall of the individual goods shafts, which serve as an ejector for the individual goods 4.
  • Each bolt could be controlled via a button on the control panel 17. Since in the individual goods issue devices 1 different goods 4, for example, different types of tobacco in cans and / or bags are stored, this could be linked to a so-called icon button on the control panel.
  • the requested goods 4 would then be ejected directly onto the conveyor belt 18 of the 10 cash desk 16. Closing the individual goods issue areas 2 via flaps 3 would no longer be necessary.
  • ⁇ U> LIST OF REFERENCES ⁇ / u> 1 goods issue device 11.
  • Fastening element 3 flap 13 Spiral spring 4 goods 14th floor plate 5 hand 15. Sheet edges 6 edge 16.
