Die DE 20 2015 105 469 U1 offenbart eine Vorrichtung zur Präsentation von Waren, bei der entlang eines nach oben offenen Kanals jeweils ein Warenvorschub entlang einer Führungsschiene verfahrbar ist, um Waren zu einem Frontanschlag zu fördern. Die Führungsschiene und seitliche Fachteiler an dem Kanal sind an einer Adapterschiene fixiert, so dass die Vorrichtung modular in der gewünschten Breite aufgebaut werden kann. Gerade bei Waren mit geringer Höhe wird der Stauraum in der Vorrichtung nicht optimal genutzt.The DE 20 2015 105 469 U1 discloses a device for presenting goods, in which a goods feed can be moved along a guide rail along a channel that is open at the top, in order to convey goods to a front stop. The guide rail and lateral compartment dividers on the channel are fixed to an adapter rail so that the device can be built up in the desired width in a modular manner. The storage space in the device is not optimally used, especially for goods that are low in height.

US 2014 / 0138330 A1 offenbart eine Vorrichtung zum Vorschub von Waren, bei der ein verschiebbarer Warenvorschub entlang eines schalenförmigen Kanals verfahrbar ist. Dabei können mehrere Kanäle mit jeweils einem Warenvorschub übereinander angeordnet sein. Eine ähnliche Vorrichtung zeigt auch die US 2005/0199 564 A1 . Weitere einschlägige Dokumente sind US4898282A , US2005/199565A1 , CH334987A und GB419302A . U.S. 2014/0138330 A1 discloses a device for feeding goods, in which a displaceable goods feeder can be moved along a bowl-shaped channel. Several channels, each with a goods feeder, can be arranged one above the other. A similar device is shown in U.S. 2005/0199 564 A1 . Other relevant documents are US4898282A , US2005/199565A1 , CH334987A and GB419302A .

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum Vorschub von Waren zu schaffen, die eine optimierte Ausnutzung des Stauraumes ermöglicht.It is therefore the object of the present invention to create a device for advancing goods which enables optimized utilization of the storage space.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a device having the features of claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist ein erster verfahrbarer Warenvorschub vorgesehen, an dem mindestens eine seitliche Wand zur Begrenzung eines Kanals zur Aufnahme von Waren angeordnet ist, wobei an der mindestens einen Wand eine Führungsschiene für einen zweiten Warenvorschub gehalten ist, entlang der der zweite, durch eine Feder vorgespannte Warenvorschub verfahrbar ist, wobei die Führungsschiene oberhalb des Verfahrweges des ersten Warenvorschubes angeordnet ist. Dadurch kann an dem Kanal zur Aufnahme von Waren eine optimierte Ausnutzung des Stauraumes erfolgen, da in einem unteren Teil des Kanals der erste Warenvorschub die Waren zu einem Frontanker fördern kann, während in einem oberen Teil des Kanals der zweite Warenvorschub Waren zu einer Vorderseite fördern kann. Die Aufteilung des Kanals in einen oberen Teil und einen unteren Teil ermöglicht eine verbesserte Ausnutzung des Stauraumes.In the device according to the invention, a first movable goods feeder is provided, on which at least one side wall is arranged to delimit a channel for receiving goods, with a guide rail for a second goods feeder being held on the at least one wall is, along which the second, by a spring biased goods feed can be moved, wherein the guide rail is arranged above the path of travel of the first goods feed. As a result, the storage space can be optimally utilized on the channel for receiving goods, since in a lower part of the channel the first goods pusher can convey the goods to a front anchor, while in an upper part of the channel the second goods pusher can convey goods to a front side . The division of the channel into an upper part and a lower part enables better utilization of the storage space.

Erfindungsgemäß ist an der mindestens einen Wand zumindest ein Vorsprung vorgesehen, an dem die Führungsschiene gehalten ist. Die Führungsschiene kann dabei entweder lose auf dem Vorsprung aufliegen oder über mechanische Mittel an zumindest einem Vorsprung fixiert sein.According to the invention, at least one projection on which the guide rail is held is provided on the at least one wall. The guide rail can either rest loosely on the projection or be fixed to at least one projection by mechanical means.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung sind der erste Warenvorschub und der zweite Warenvorschub zwischen zwei Wänden angeordnet, und die Führungsschiene für den zweiten Warenvorschub ist an den beiden Wänden abgestützt. Dadurch wird eine stabile Fixierung der Führungsschiene erreicht, die an beiden Wänden gehalten ist, so dass Kippbewegungen vermieden werden. Zudem werden die oberen und unteren Waren durch die beiden Wände in Längsrichtung der Führungsschiene geführt.In a preferred embodiment, the first goods pusher and the second goods pusher are arranged between two walls, and the guide rail for the second goods pusher is supported on the two walls. This achieves a stable fixation of the guide rail, which is held on both walls, so that tilting movements are avoided. In addition, the upper and lower goods are guided by the two walls in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail.

An der Führungsschiene ist vorzugsweise ein Frontanker fixiert, an dem ein Frontanschlag für die entlang der Führungsschiene verschiebbaren Waren vorgesehen ist. Der Frontanschlag kann dabei durch ein oder mehrere Stege oder Vorsprünge gebildet sein, die zumindest einen Teil einer Vorderseite der Waren verdecken. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch ein Frontanschlag an einer Wand oder beiden Wänden vorgesehen sein.A front anchor is preferably fixed to the guide rail, on which a front stop is provided for the goods that can be displaced along the guide rail. The front stop can be formed by one or more webs or projections that cover at least part of a front side of the goods. Alternatively or additionally, a front stop can also be provided on one wall or on both walls.

In dem unteren Teil des Kanals ist vorzugsweise eine weitere untere Führungsschiene vorgesehen, an der der erste Warenvorschub verfahrbar gehalten ist. Die weitere Führungsschiene ist dann unterhalb der Führungsschiene für den zweiten Warenvorschub angeordnet. Alternativ kann auch auf die weitere Führungsschiene verzichtet werden, so dass der erste Warenvorschub nur entlang des Regalbodens verfahrbar ist und die Waren durch die seitlichen Wände geführt sind.In the lower part of the channel, a further lower guide rail is preferably provided, on which the first goods feed is held in a movable manner. The further guide rail is then arranged below the guide rail for the second goods feed. Alternatively, the further guide rail can also be dispensed with, so that the first goods pusher can only be moved along the shelf and the goods are guided through the side walls.

Wenn eine weitere untere Führungsschiene für den ersten Warenvorschub vorgesehen ist, ist diese vorzugsweise über einen Frontanker an einer Adapterschiene fixiert, die sich im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu der weiteren Führungsschiene erstreckt. Auch die mindestens eine Wand kann an der Adapterschiene fixiert werden, so dass die Breite des Kanals zum Vorschub der Waren flexibel eingestellt werden kann, wenn eine stufenlose Positionierung entlang der Adapterschiene ermöglicht wird, wie dies beispielsweise in der DE 20 2015 105 469 U1 offenbart ist.If a further lower guide rail is provided for the first goods feed, this is preferably fixed via a front anchor to an adapter rail which extends essentially perpendicularly to the further guide rail. The at least one wall can also be fixed to the adapter rail, so that the width of the channel for advancing the goods can be flexibly adjusted if stepless positioning along the adapter rail is enabled, as is the case, for example, in DE 20 2015 105 469 U1 is revealed.

Vorzugsweise ist der Frontanker an der Führungsschiene an einem Vorsprung der mindestens einen Wand klemmend oder rastend fixiert. Der Frontanker kann dabei einem Raststeg aufweisen, der an einer Rastaufnahme an der Unterseite des Vorsprunges eingreift. Alternativ kann auch ein Raststeg an dem Frontanker ausgebildet sein, der mit einer Rastaufnahme an dem Frontanker zusammenwirkt. Die Führungsschiene ist erfindungsgemäß in eine Richtung senkrecht zur Ebene einer Wand verstellbar an der einen Wand oder verstellbar an beiden Wänden gehalten ist, insbesondere über eine längliche Rastaufnahme aus einer Profilierung oder einem Langloch. Dadurch ist die Breite des Kanals veränderbar und kann an die Breite der Waren angepasst werden. Hierfür ist die Führungsschiene erfindungsgemäß in eine Richtung senkrecht zur Ebene einer Wand stufenlos verstellbar an der einen Wand oder vorzugsweise stufenlos verstellbar an den beiden Wänden gehalten.The front anchor is preferably fixed to the guide rail in a clamping or latching manner on a projection of the at least one wall. The front anchor can have a latching web which engages in a latching receptacle on the underside of the projection. Alternatively, a latching web can also be formed on the front anchor, which interacts with a latching receptacle on the front anchor. According to the invention, the guide rail is adjustable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of a wall on which one wall or adjustably is held on both walls, in particular via an elongate snap-in receptacle made of a profiling or a slot. As a result, the width of the channel can be changed and adapted to the width of the goods. For this purpose, the guide rail is held according to the invention in a direction perpendicular to the plane of a wall continuously adjustable on one wall or preferably continuously adjustable on the two walls.

Für einen Aufbau der Vorrichtung mit nur wenigen Bauteilen, ist an einer einzigen Wand ein Vorsprung vorgesehen, der an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Wand hervorsteht. Der Vorsprung ragt somit an gegenüberliegenden Seiten hervor und kann somit zum Abstützen jeweils einer Führungsschiene eingesetzt werden. Der Vorsprung kann dabei wahlweise als separates bevorzugt plattenförmiges Bauteil an der Wand fixiert werden, beispielsweise durch eine Aussparung in der Wand durchgesteckt werden, oder integral mit der Wand ausgebildet sein.In order to construct the device with only a few components, a projection is provided on a single wall which protrudes on opposite sides of the wall. The projection thus protrudes on opposite sides and can thus be used to support one guide rail in each case. The projection can optionally be fixed to the wall as a separate, preferably plate-shaped component, for example pushed through a recess in the wall, or be formed integrally with the wall.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand mehrerer Ausführungsbeispiele mit Bezug auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Eine Vorrichtung 1 zum Vorschub von Waren umfasst einen unteren ersten Warenvorschub 2, der Waren zu einer Vorderseite gegen einen Frontanschlag 14 fördert. Der erste Warenvorschub 2 ist unterhalb eines zweiten Warenvorschubes 8 angeordnet, der Waren zu einem Frontanschlag 13 fördert, der sich oberhalb des Frontanschlages 14 befindet. Die beiden plattenförmigen Frontanschläge 13 und 14 können dabei aus ein oder mehreren Teilen gebildet sein. Der erste Warenvorschub 2 und der zweite Warenvorschub 8 sind zwischen zwei plattenförmigen Wänden 5 und 7 angeordnet, zwischen denen ein Kanal zur Aufnahme von Waren ausgebildet ist, der einen unteren Teil für den Warenvorschub 2 und einen oberen Teil für den Warenvorschub 8 aufweist.A device 1 for feeding goods comprises a lower first goods feed 2 which promotes goods to a front side against a front stop 14 . The first goods feeder 2 is arranged below a second goods feeder 8 which conveys goods to a front stop 13 which is located above the front stop 14 . The two plate-shaped front stops 13 and 14 can be formed from one or more parts. The first goods feed 2 and the second goods feed 8 are arranged between two plate-shaped walls 5 and 7, between which a channel for receiving goods is formed, which has a lower part for the goods feed 2 and an upper part for the goods feed 8 .

In Figur 2 wurde die Wand 7 der Vorrichtung 1 weggelassen, so dass erkennbar ist, dass der erste untere Warenvorschub 2 entlang einer Führungsschiene 4 geführt ist. Der Warenvorschub 2 ist dabei über eine Feder 11, insbesondere eine aufwickelbare Bandfeder in Vorschubrichtung vorgespannt, wobei ein Ende der Feder 11 an einem Frontanker 3 fixiert ist.In figure 2 the wall 7 of the device 1 has been omitted so that it can be seen that the first lower product feed 2 is guided along a guide rail 4 . The goods feeder 2 is prestressed in the feed direction by a spring 11, in particular a coilable strip spring, with one end of the spring 11 being fixed to a front anchor 3.

Der zweite Warenvorschub 8 ist entlang einer Führungsschiene 10 verfahrbar, wobei der Warenvorschub 8 ebenfalls durch eine Feder 9 in Vorschubrichtung vorgespannt ist. Die Feder 9 ist mit einem Ende an einem Frontanker 12 fixiert, an dem auch mindestens der nach oben ragender Frontanschlag 13 vorgesehen ist. Die Führungsschiene 10 ist dabei an zwei Vorsprüngen 6 abgestützt, die an der Wand 5 hervorstehen. Die Vorsprünge 6 sind steg- oder plattenförmig ausgebildet.The second product feed 8 can be moved along a guide rail 10, the product feed 8 also being pretensioned by a spring 9 in the feed direction. One end of the spring 9 is fixed to a front anchor 12, on which at least the front stop 13 projecting upwards is also provided. The guide rail 10 is supported on two projections 6 which protrude from the wall 5 . The projections 6 are in the form of webs or plates.

In Figur 3 ist die Anordnung der Vorsprünge 6 an der Wand 5 zu sehen. Die beiden Vorsprünge 6 sind beabstandet voneinander angeordnet und dienen zur Auflage der Führungsschiene 10. Die Wand 5 ist über ein Fixierteil 15 an einer nicht dargestellten Adapterschiene festlegbar, wobei an dem Fixierteil 15 der nach oben ragender Frontanschlag 14 für die Waren ausgebildet ist, die mit dem ersten Warenvorschub 2 gefördert werden. Die Führungsschiene 4 für den ersten Warenvorschub 2 ist über einen Frontanker 3 an der Adapterschiene fixierbar, ähnlich wie dies in der DE 20 2015 105 469 beschrieben ist, so dass die Wände 5 und 7 sowie die unteren Führungsschienen 4 stufenlos entlang der Adapterschiene verstellt und fixiert werden können.In figure 3 the arrangement of the projections 6 on the wall 5 can be seen. The two projections 6 are arranged at a distance from one another and serve to support the guide rail 10. The wall 5 can be fixed to an adapter rail (not shown) via a fixing part 15, with the upwardly projecting front stop 14 for the goods being formed on the fixing part 15 the first goods feed 2 are promoted. The guide rail 4 for the first product feed 2 can be fixed to the adapter rail via a front anchor 3, similar to that in FIG DE 20 2015 105 469 is described, so that the walls 5 and 7 and the lower guide rails 4 can be continuously adjusted and fixed along the adapter rail.

In den Figuren 4A und 4B ist der Frontanker 12 der Führungsschiene 10 in einer demontierten Position gezeigt. Der Frontanker 12 weist zwei zur Rückseite hervorstehende Raststege 17 auf, an denen ein oder mehrere Rastvorsprünge 18 ausgebildet sind. Ein Rastvorsprung 18 kann in der montierten Position in eine Rastaufnahme 16 an dem Vorsprung 6 eingreifen, wobei die Rastaufnahme 16 als Schlitz, Öffnung oder Profilierung ausgebildet sein kann. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Rastaufnahmen 16 durch Langlöcher gebildet, die sich senkrecht zu der Ebene der Wand 5 erstrecken, so dass der Frontanker 12 entlang der Rastaufnahmen 16 frei positioniert werden kann, was die Verstellung des Abstandes der Wände 5 und 7 voneinander ermöglicht.In the Figures 4A and 4B the front anchor 12 of the guide rail 10 is shown in a disassembled position. The front anchor 12 has two locking webs 17 protruding towards the back, on which one or more locking projections 18 are trained. In the installed position, a latching projection 18 can engage in a latching receptacle 16 on the projection 6, with the latching receptacle 16 being able to be in the form of a slot, opening or profiling. In the illustrated embodiment, the snap-in seats 16 are formed by oblong holes extending perpendicularly to the plane of the wall 5, so that the front anchor 12 can be freely positioned along the snap-in seats 16, allowing the distance between the walls 5 and 7 to be adjusted.

Der senkrecht von der Wand 5 hervorstehende Vorsprung 6 kann dabei integral mit der Wand 5 ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise durch ein Spritzgussverfahren mit Kunststoff, oder als separates Bauteil. Vorzugsweise steht der Vorsprung 6 an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Wand 5 hervor, so dass über einen mit zwei Teilen versehenen Vorsprung 6 zwei Führungsschienen 10 abgestützt werden können.The projection 6 protruding perpendicularly from the wall 5 can be formed integrally with the wall 5, for example by means of an injection molding process with plastic, or as a separate component. Preferably, the projection 6 protrudes from opposite sides of the wall 5, so that a two-piece projection 6 can support two guide rails 10.

In Figur 5 ist eine modifizierte Vorrichtung 1' zum Vorschub von Waren gezeigt, bei der ein unterer erster Warenvorschub 2 und ein oberer zweiter Warenvorschub 8 vorgesehen sind, wie bei dem vorangegangenen Ausführungsbeispiel. Der Abstand der Wände 5 und 7 ist deutlich größer als in Figur 1, wobei die Führungsschiene 10 dennoch auf den Vorsprüngen 6 an den Wänden 5 und 7 abgestützt ist. Insofern kann die Breite des Kanals zum Vorschub von Waren verstellt werden, um diese in optimaler Weise an die Breite der Waren anzupassen.In figure 5 1 shows a modified device 1' for feeding goods, in which a lower first goods pusher 2 and an upper second goods pusher 8 are provided, as in the previous embodiment. The distance between walls 5 and 7 is significantly larger than in figure 1 , the guide rail 10 nevertheless being supported on the projections 6 on the walls 5 and 7. In this respect, the width of the channel for advancing goods can be adjusted in order to optimally adapt it to the width of the goods.

Die Warenvorschübe 2 und 8 sind über Federn 9 und 11 in Vorschubrichtung vorgespannt. Optional kann die Bewegung auch über einen Dämpfer an dem Warenvorschub 2 bzw. 8 gebremst werden, beispielsweise einen Rotationsdämpfer, wie dies in dem Patent EP 3 007 592 B1 beschrieben.The goods feeds 2 and 8 are biased by springs 9 and 11 in the feed direction. Optionally, the movement can also be braked via a damper on the goods feed 2 or 8, for example a rotary damper, as in the Patent EP 3 007 592 B1 described.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der erste Warenvorschub 2 entlang der Führungsschiene 4 verfahrbar. Es ist auch möglich, auf die Führungsschiene 4 zu verzichten, da die Waren in dem unteren Teil des Kanals durch die beiden Wände 5 und 7 geführt sind. Dann kann der Warenvorschub 2 über die Feder 11 mit einem Frontanker 3 verbunden sein, der an einer Adapterschiene festgelegt ist.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the first product feed 2 can be moved along the guide rail 4 . It is also possible to dispense with the guide rail 4 since the goods are guided through the two walls 5 and 7 in the lower part of the channel. Then the goods feeder 2 can be connected via the spring 11 to a front anchor 3 which is fixed to an adapter rail.

Zudem kann die Ausbildung der Frontanschläge 13 und 14 je nach Anforderung modifiziert werden. Der Frontanschlag 14 kann, von oben betrachtet, vor dem Frontanschlag 13 angeordnet sein, um eine Entnahme aus dem unteren Teil des Kanals nach oben zu ermöglichen.In addition, the design of the front stops 13 and 14 can be modified depending on requirements. The front stop 14 can, viewed from above, before the front stop 13 to allow extraction from the lower part of the channel upwards.

Die dargestellten Vorrichtungen 1 und 1' können zur Präsentation von Waren, wie Zigarettenpackungen, Süßigkeiten, Gewürzen oder anderen Waren, eingesetzt werden.The devices 1 and 1' shown can be used to present goods such as cigarette packs, sweets, spices or other goods.
