Description

Multipurpose rolling container.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a container of those used in supermarkets, self-services, of the type of those that incorporate rolling means in its base and traction means manual for comfortable travel.

More specifically, the present invention has by object a container that by its structure and conditioning allows the transfer of items, objects and / or food in use purchase diary in this type of establishments, with a series of advantages in its structuring, more comfortable and functional for the user, more profitable for the establishment and better adapted for the employees in their manipulation.

Background of the invention

Different baskets of are known in the market this type with handles, predominantly its manufacture in plastic or similar materials, with means for customers to transfer the purchase made up to the boxes where the payment of the articles, these baskets are presented as an alternative for people who do not need the typical metal car of those they usually move laterally by inertia or are difficult in its circulation through the establishment where find, these initial baskets have evolved in the time, the first ones like the ES U nº 9400303 as well as the ES U Nº 9502610 describe conventional handles and ways of holding the same, for the transfer of the articles by the users evolve due to the problem of weight and discomfort maintenance of the same by the user throughout the journey of the stores in which they are used, in evolution mainly of establishments, such as shopping centers where install supermarkets, or macro stores around type of articles becomes more complicated support in the hand of the full weight of these in their acquisition and less profitable for the establishment given the small size of them, had as consequence an evolution also in the way of moving these purchases, these were provided with shootings at the bottom, with a greater capacity and a handle or handle for drag, in addition to being able stack for space savings next to cash registers, as in the case of the ES U records No. 200300295, the ES U No. 200501620

In the most recent of which we have knowledge is P 200700359, in which a basket with means of taxiing, widely known, drag handles and holes in structure for catching in weight by users one by one and for employees use them to move them when are stacked as it contemplates this possibility, even though the intermediate mentions between it and the above mentioned respectively you can clearly see how the state of the art, establishing as a novelty the form of stacking and drag handle that supports the weight of the load in the capacity of the same for its height.

Due to the demand of the merchants of this greater capacity and users to accommodate more number of products, several problems arise, such as example the excessive depth of the baskets forcing the user to lumbar torsion efforts continued while loading the basket as to the discharge of the same, in the boxes where the payment of the products, lumbar tension that depending on each person, age, complexion and conditions can have consequences serious for users.

Another problem is the dragging of the baskets by the handle in the same load plane with respect to the inclination since at the beginning of this one, the weight tenses it at one point of unstable gravity, since we could not drag the basket without tilt it, upon receiving the weight of the products, a tension in sustaining it that directly impacts on the pull handle and on the user's arm, if possible roll it without its inclination, essential for its operation by the action of a larger quantity of rolling elements, the point from where it is pulled represents a problem in the slip with respect to its weight, bringing any dirt on the ground could dump the basket with the consequent economic losses to the establishment and possible injuries to user, resulting in either case tired and uncomfortable the handling and use, in this sense there is an added inconvenience since it was not taken into account, the average height of the users at regarding the adaptation of the drag of the basket, as a person of smaller size, it will not throw or drag the basket in it point of gravity and inflection than one of greater height and wingspan, creating the consequent discomfort in the users.

Another problem we encountered regarding the inclination of the basket, is that when it is tilted for correct operation, there is a movement in the products that we have already loaded in this one and therefore it could produce your external deterioration waking up the possible rejection of the user to download the basket in the establishment box, in fact everyone the quantity of defective products that are collected in the day at the cash desk, with the consequent loss for the establishment and its supplier, since in the majority of occasions do these have to take care of the products defective

On the other hand in these baskets it is usual find holes as handles that supposedly allow transfer several baskets at once to the employees of the establishment, with the consequent risk of lumbar injuries already that the form of transport and stacking is done in a plane vertical with respect to the ground and therefore loading all the weight on the worker for both collection, transfer and stacking, which in many occasions are fitted, having to make annoying efforts to perform the release of same for use by the user and may occur in both low labor actions, in the case of workers or unnecessary injuries to users, for such actions.

One more drawback is the conical shape. internal, since its lower part is narrower than the part superior, when introducing the products the user is obliged to introduce the products in order of size, from least to greatest, especially in products such as bottles of any size and shape, that when introduced a lot of space since being these, straight and elongated, supported on a flat base and perpendicular to the ground, leave some important gaps at the vertices described with respect to the walls of the basket being these totally wasted.

Description of the invention

Multi-purpose rolling container, which proposes the following invention, to achieve the objectives of solving the inconveniences indicated above, it has developed a new container with rolling elements, such as wheels multi-direction, provided with cleaning system for your greater durability, at the bottom of its structure in a adequate number to get the perfect functionality of the themselves in their transport role, incorporating in it wheel clamping platform an extendable support so that pressing it, a tamper comes out of it at a sufficient height to raise the rolling elements of the ground, providing the amobility of it, being able to stack one inside the other without fear that the means for doing so may be rolled or deteriorated.

The invention incorporates a platform or bottom that is supported, guided or moved by tractor, flexible means or elastic, which may be equipped with regulation mechanisms, automated or not, for this purpose, thereby obtaining a multitude of positions in the depth of the container, according to the user go depositing the products inside, so that initial position or load and at its maximum height, prevents the user is forced to perform a lumbar tension to reach the depth of the container, as it deposits products, the platform or fund by their own weight, modify its position towards the depth of the container leaving the load level at the same height always, height that does not imply lumbar tension of the user at any time.

At the time of unloading, a reverse reaction occurs, so that by eliminating weight by collecting the products, the platform or fund is changing its position, serving as a lifting platform for the products themselves, by means of elements, for example elastic, leaving these for collection at maximum height, the user not having at any time to make any effort for such an action, not stretching the body to the bottom of the container to achieve them. Another advantageous function for which this new platform or fund is intended is to facilitate the collection by the user of the container at the time it is stacked, since thanks to the means that are intended for the modification of the depth it will push the container consecutive to start this action for your
use.

In addition the invention incorporates a system of drag or push according to its positioning, formed by a appropriate structure, configuration, shape and consistency with multiple positions, placing the first one in one of the faces of it interchangeably, so that the first position of anchoring and dragging, with means to do so, can be placed at user convenience for comfort with minimum effort, without the need to tilt the container for correct operation and use, thus preventing deterioration of products, the tilt of the drag system occurs in multiple graduations with respect to the ground and size, wingspan and weight of the user. The container is provided with means to accommodate, position of the trailing means with inclination (0º) with respect to the ground, in a section of it, to reach one or more articulated parts, to start its horizontal dejection, and at the desired height for its thrust, from the point of height adjustable with means for this and at the user's choice, this being easily and easily modifiable by it with the means adequate technicians to achieve this, depending on the height and size of the user, making the form of use both if we pull the container for use, as if the We push as appropriate.

The articulated part of the drag means it is provided with a blind part, which in the horizontal position and parallel to the ground, you can do according to your regulation in height, support-table functions with means for example type clamp to hold shopping list, promotions establishment or any application that the user wishes allocate, for your convenience.

Another advantage that incorporates in its structure, It is your part destined for the loading of the products, it is not conical, so that the utilization of the container is total without dead spaces, the same being provided with exterior projections conical from least to greatest with respect to the ground, providing with these means the ability to stack.

Given new features in its structure, would allow to allocate a multitude of spaces that could become permanent advertising spaces, or replacement for any advertiser who so requested by creating a new form of business that would have an impact on job creation for both its management and for its realization, as a consequence of the advantages that they provide their new means of dragging in different positions, having the possibility of being pushed or dragged as appropriate. One more advantage is obtained, the multitude of materials with which could manufacture, making its manufacturing more competitive, improving the production scandals and made with the strength enough to guarantee the different uses to which it is destined in a multitude of finishes, finishes, serigraphs ... thus expanding its use and functionality, just as they are used the new food transport bags sold to users in supermarkets in large stores, which subsequently they are used for an infinity of utilities by the user. It would become a new way of transporting objects or things and reusable, being recyclable at the end of its use to long term contributing to the improvement and conservation of the environment environment as it would avoid the use of plastic bags so harmful to it.

Also given the faces seen of the tool, which they can be provided with means to replace them with guided, adhesive, fixed or movable form by any means to This makes it a new advertising portal so far, being able to become a useful object of merchandising, with the consistent and important job creation around the object of This new multipurpose rolling container.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures above outlined, it can be seen that the body of the container 1 with the drag means 2 with the possibility of multiple articulation 5 and / or at different points of it, thereby enabling different forms of position at the user's choice for comfort, the drive means 2 are provided with a flat surface 3 which in a position, for example, parallel to the floor, serves as a table with a media clamp, for example type clamp 4 to position information, such as lists of purchase of the user, or brochures of offers of the establishment, the articulation such as adjustable ball joints 5 allows the total folding, for stacking, or partial for pushing by the user, while the body 1 is provided with protuberances 6 that make it possible to hold the means of drag 2 partially, while allowing its uncoupling of an easy and simple way for the user, to facilitate the way of the drag of the container 1 by means of a joint 7 to the start of the drive means 2 at a positional height more safe for use, which by means of rolling elements, by example multi-directional wheels 8 thus obtaining a considerable advantage over previous techniques, since adapts to the height, complexion and size of the user for use and comfort.

Likewise, a possible realization of the invention as can be seen in figure 2. This corresponds to the drive means 2 with a circular shape, for example of an ergonomic groove 9 adapted to the shape of the fingers of the hand, it has a flat part such as table type, with fastening means such as clip type 4 for the support of for example offer brochures, advertising or shopping list of the user, both ends end and connect with the means of articulation such as adjustable ball joints 5 incorporate means graduation 10 for example toothed for easy handling by the user with the necessary consistency provided by the spring pin 11 to consolidate its different positions at pleasure.

The drive means 2 and between the kneecaps Adjustable 5 is provided with a connection for example cylindrical 12 which unites them for greater consistency in their role, while from elongated kneecaps 5 elongated extensions appear, 13 such as arms, which in turn end up in another extension horizontal 14 as for example in forming elongated support liable to turn on itself, which is embedded in the slots to accommodate them 15 with the appropriate form to receive them and fastening means 16 such as pin or stud in order to allow its function, from the body of the container 1, it may be in a toothed guide embodiment 17 for the change of height, in its mode of drag and liable to modify the shooting distance from the ground so that the force in the throw of container 1 do not allow tipping over.

The drive means 2 can be folded parallel to one of the faces of the container 1 and be held by suitable means for this, such as bumps 6 in the appropriate way to receive it, in one or more parts of the body of the container 1 so that in another mode of movement as per Pushing example, allow the user how to use desired, adapting the flat part 3 that is part of the means of drag 2 in the upper part of it, for the convenience of the user, according to your height, complexion and weight, to make your comfort more comfortable use, being able to choose this one between two forms of operation, drag, or thrust.

On the other hand and in order to facilitate your stacking, the upper part of the drive means 2 in the zone of its flat part 3 and by means of the adjustable ball joints 5 allows its total folding up to 0º leaving the head where free carry means 2 being incorporated into the own container body 1 with housing 18 provided for such effect.

In figure 2 it can be seen in a form of embodiment of the invention, the possible modification of the depth of container floor 1.

In figure 3 we can appreciate the possible modification of the lifting platform 19 supported through retention, counterweight, mechanical, semi-automatic, or elastic, with or without gradual anchoring devices, for example 20 springs in quantity and enough places inserted in, by example guides 21 incorporated or attached to the body of the container 1 at one or more ends thereof, so that in its initial position It is located on the top of the container 1 and place the product and by its own weight, platform 19 it falls down leaving the load level of the container 1 to the same height always, so that the user does not have to perform lumbar torsion to deposit the product at the bottom of the container 1, when the user finishes placing the products in the container 1 is ready to empty, this is eliminating the weight of the load, always on the same height line, since the system acts in reverse, and platform 19 through the media elastic, make it rise, bringing the products closer to the discharge line of the same, until reaching the top 22, located at the upper ends of the container 1 in order to avoid its involuntary external displacement. With this system the user does not have to make any effort in these operations, thus providing an advantage over previous techniques.

The lifting platform could meet a double function in view of the figures, since the body of the container 1 is properly made to allow its stacking, which when performed for example vertically and press the lifting platform 19 into it, would facilitate its decoupling when the user needed a unit, since that the container 1 that occupies the first place would be driven by the platform 19 of container 1 immediately, by means of the elements elastic 20 in order to facilitate its collection.

In view of the figures outlined previously, it can be seen that the body of the container 1 is could be made in different types of materials, with it you could achieve considerable competitiveness in the costs of production, while the different materials that could be use will not harm the environment, it could also incorporate a series of panels 23 independent of the structure of the container 1 with different clamping means to be able to be substituted as for example guides 24 providing a series of useful information to the user / s, regardless of body area of container 1 to be designated for placement.

Finally, along with the taxiing elements 8, incorporates a cleaning system of the same as for example, brush 27, inserted in the cover of the rolling elements 28 of so that in movement, the container acts continuously and uninterruptedly on the wheel. Along with these incorporates a perpendicular extension to the ground 25 than when pressing it, a ram 26 emerges from it which raises the rolling elements 8 providing the smoothness of container 1 and with the consistency enough for at the time of stacking.
