Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a goods advancing system for the on-sale presentation of goods, comprising a rail with an elongated, extending in a longitudinal direction bottom having a bottom, an upper side, two opposite longitudinal sides, a rear end face and a front end face and the Receiving goods is used, a goods bearing surface defining carriage which is movable on the floor between the end sides in the longitudinal direction between a rear and a front position, and a clamping means which is fixed in the front region of the rail and on the carriage and in the tensioned state the carriage is biased towards the front portion of the rail.
  • Goods feed systems of the type mentioned are known in the prior art in a variety of configurations. They serve to position goods always on the front edge of a shelf or a display. This improves on the one hand, the appearance of the shelf or display. On the other hand, the customer is also facilitated the goods access.
  • the rails and carriages of goods feed systems that are permanently placed on shelves are usually made of plastic, wherein the bias of the carriage is realized in the direction of the front region of the rail by metallic spring elements.
  • a major disadvantage of such material feed systems is that they are very expensive. This is also the reason why they are not used for display systems, ie mostly made of corrugated board Displays in which goods are presented only temporarily as part of sales campaigns.
  • material feed systems made of cardboard or corrugated board are known, which are used for a single use directly in aêtumverpackung or in a display.
  • a material feed system is for example in the DE 10 2004 015 701 B3 described.
  • This includes a rail, a carriage and a clamping device.
  • the rail has a serving for receiving goods, elongated and extending in a longitudinal direction bottom with a bottom, a top, two opposite longitudinal sides, a rear end face and a front end side.
  • the floor is partially multi-ply and consists of a lower floor layer and two longitudinally extending, transversely to the longitudinal direction spaced apart upper floor layers, which are each formed by a connected to one of the longitudinal sides of the lower bottom layer flap, which on the upper side of the lower bottom layer folded.
  • the tensioning means formed by an annular rubber band
  • two openings are provided at a distance from each other in the region of the front end side of the bottom, through which the tensioning means is guided.
  • the carriage consists of a substantially vertically extending between the longitudinal sides of the bottom of the rail wall and two connected thereto, folded back side walls. In the lower region of the carriage, two passage openings are formed for passing the tensioning means.
  • the latter extends from its attachment in the front region of the rail within the recess formed between the two upper floor layers to the carriage, so that the carriage biased in the tensioned state of the tensioning means in the direction of the front portion of the rail and between a rear and a front carriage position between guided the upper floor layers is movable.
  • the rail and The carriages are each folded in one piece from a blank of cardboard or corrugated cardboard.
  • a disadvantage of in the DE 10 2004 015 701 B3 described product feed system is that this has a relatively low dimensional stability.
  • the two upper bottom layers, which are folded onto the lower bottom layer can only be held securely in their position by being positioned on these goods. This proves to be unwieldy especially when equipping the goods feed system with goods.
  • Another disadvantage is that the goods contact surface of the carriage due to the fact that the carriage is guided between the two upper floor layers, is relatively small and does not span the entire width of the floor. This leads to the fact that the transfer of the clamping force of the clamping device is unfavorable to the applied to the goods bearing surface goods.
  • Yet another disadvantage is that the depth of the carriage is relatively large due to the folded-back side walls. Accordingly, only a part of the rail is available for receiving goods.
  • the present invention provides a goods feed system of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that the bottom has a lower, provided with a through hole bottom layer and at least one folded on the lower bottom layer top ground layer, in which an elongated passage opening is formed which is positioned congruent to the through hole and extending longitudinally rearward from the rear to the rear carriage position, and that the clamping means, starting from its attachment in the front region of the rail through the through hole and the elongate passage opening led to the slide.
  • the entire rail can be made multi-layered, in particular two-ply, which overall entails high stability, in particular dimensional stability.
  • the entire upper surface of the rail can serve as a receiving surface for the carriage, with the result that the goods contact surface of the carriage can be chosen comparatively large and the width of the rail can substantially correspond.
  • the clamping force of the clamping means can be transmitted very evenly over the carriage to the voltage applied to the goods bearing surface goods.
  • the rail is provided on its front end side with at least one, in particular formed with at least one undercut, forward or upward projecting projection which serves for fastening of the clamping means.
  • the projection may in particular be formed on the upper bottom layer, so that the bottom layers are pressed against each other by the tensioning means.
  • the projection is formed by two partial projections, which are formed substantially congruently on the one hand on the lower bottom layer and on the other hand on the upper bottom layer. In this way, an even better stability is achieved.
  • the rail preferably has at least one upwardly projecting side wall, which adjoins one of the longitudinal sides of the floor and in particular extends over the entire length of the floor. Thanks to such a side wall a guide of the goods arranged on the rail is realized in a simple manner. If only a single side wall is provided, a corresponding side wall of an adjacently arranged goods advance system can take over the guidance of the goods on the rail on the other side. Of course, it is also possible to provide each rail with two side walls opposite each other and extending parallel to each other.
  • the rail is made in one piece from a blank made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard and mounted in particular without further aids. Accordingly, the rail can be easily manufactured and assembled. It should be understood, however, that fasteners can be used during assembly, particularly in the form of adhesive, eyelets, adhesive tapes, rivets or the like.
  • the upper bottom layer is in particular frontally connected to the lower bottom layer and folded onto the lower bottom layer, resulting in a simple and stable construction of the carriage.
  • the carriage preferably has a wall extending substantially vertically between the longitudinal sides of the bottom of the rail, which defines the cloth bearing surface, and a bottom wall connected thereto, which rests on the bottom of the rail, thereby achieving a simple yet stable construction.
  • a passage opening for the passage of the tensioning means is advantageously formed so that an engagement with the tensioning means takes place in the lower region of the carriage.
  • an upwardly projecting projection for fastening the tensioning means is preferably provided, which is provided in particular with at least one undercut. Accordingly finds also in the upper range of the Sliding an engagement with the clamping means instead, whereby an optimal power transmission from the goods contact surface of the carriage to the voltage applied to this product can be realized.
  • a through hole for passing the clamping means may be formed, which is a good power transmission from the clamping means on the carriage beneficial.
  • the carriage advantageously has substantially vertically extending side walls which laterally interconnect the substantially vertically extending wall and the bottom wall, thereby further improving the stability of the carriage.
  • the bottom wall of the carriage may be multi-layered, which also serves to improve the stability of the carriage.
  • Locking means are preferably provided, which are designed to lock the carriage on the rail in the rear carriage position. In the locked state, the fabric feed system can then be easily equipped with goods, whereupon the lock is released to activate the goods feed.
  • the locking means may, for example, comprise at least one latching projection projecting downwards from the bottom wall of the carriage and at least one latching recess formed in the rail in the region of the rear slide position and cooperating with the at least one latching projection, or vice versa.
  • the carriage is made of a single blank of cardboard or corrugated board and mounted in particular without further aids. Accordingly, the carriage can be easily manufactured and assembled. It should be understood, however, that fasteners may be used during assembly, particularly in the form of adhesive, eyelets, adhesive tapes, rivets or the like
