Description

REFRIGERATED SHELVING

  The present invention relates to a refrigerated rack comprising, on its rear face, console supports on which are fixed brackets on which are arranged shelving bodies. Refrigerated shelving is used in hypermarkets and small businesses for the storage and presentation of products or refrigerated goods. For example, refrigerated shelving is provided with dairy products or sausages. The operating temperature of refrigerated shelving is below the temperature

  ambient and is maintained, for example, between 5 and 10 C.

  To fully utilize the depth of the rack bodies, the products are usually arranged in several vertical layers placed one behind the other. The user or customer takes the products or commodities on the front of the refrigerated rack, so as to take first the front layer of the products then the second layer behind and so on. Since the products are not distributed in the same quantities in the cold storage rack,

  it quickly has a very messy aspect, because for some

  In addition, the front layer remains, while for others, the front layer has been completely removed. To cope with this situation, it is necessary to proceed from time to time to a new

  replenishment of refrigerated shelving.

  Due to the limited storage of most foods, those still in the rack must be pushed forward so that they are picked first, while fresh replenishment foods are then placed freely on the surfaces. of storage thus released from the party

rear of the rack bodies.

  The replenishment process that must be continued during the sales period in order to continually show on the refrigerated shelving the aspect of a complete supply and

  regular, is long and tedious, and further hinders the sale. In particular

  bind, for commodities that use most of the height

  between two adjacent shelves, it is hardly possible to

  accept the filling of the rear part of the shelving unit as long as there is still food in the front part. In this case, the replenishment is most often neglected, which leads, after an increased demand for a fairly short time, to a stock-out for sale for the commodities that are not

  then momentarily not available on the rack.

  One of the aims of the present invention is precisely to propose a refrigerated rack of the type described above which allows a

  very fast replenishment of products offered for sale.

  For this purpose, according to the invention, at least one of the radiation body

  Swim is likely to slide forward relative to the consoles.

  It is thus possible to pull at least one of the shelving bodies out of the shelf.

  refrigerated swimming. For this purpose, it is advantageous to choose the shelving body which contains the goods requiring the most frequent replenishment. To achieve the replenishment of proposed commodities

  for sale, the rack body is pulled forward according to the invention.

  This is followed by sliding forward the foodstuffs still on the rack body, and then placing the fresh foodstuffs at the top or sides of the back of the rack body. It only remains to bring back the rack body to

his starting position.

  Thanks to the invention, it is possible to replenish the cold storage very quickly. The risk of upset during

  the filling of the goods offered for sale is largely excluded.

  According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is

  a rolling extension between the side edges of the radiator body

  swimming and each of the corresponding consoles. This rolling extension has two rails that can slide relative to each other,

  one being attached to the console and the other to the rack body.

  According to another embodiment of the refrigerated rack according to the invention, the rolling extension is disposed inside the rack body. The rack body is for example made in the form of a sheet metal casing and has inside a space in which is

  arranged the rolling extension. The shelving body has the advantage

  a section that wraps and covers the console.

  The rack body or the rolling extension may advantageously comprise a stop member which may, for example, be integrated in the rolling extension and which keeps the shelving body in the retracted position in the cold storage rack or, during service , in

extension position.

  Blocking the rack body in the extended position allows the rack body to be used to highlight a foodstuff

particular offered for sale.

  According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the rear edge of the shelving body has a protruding rim which may be for example a riveted angle and which prevents a sliding of the goods backwards when the body is pushed back. racking

  normal position in the refrigerated rack.

  Other purposes, advantages and features of the invention

  will appear on reading the description of an embodiment,

  BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a refrigerated rack according to the invention; - Figure 2 shows in section a rack body according to the invention. The refrigerating rack according to the invention shown in Figure 1 comprises a furniture body I which contains the equipment 2, 3 respectively for refrigeration and the circulation of air. On the rear wall of the furniture body 1, there is a support bracket 4 on which are fixed several consoles 5 on which are arranged shelving bodies which serve as the exposure surface of refrigerated goods. The refrigerated showcase is open to its part

  back to allow the customer and the sales staff to

the exposed foods.

  Goods that are removed from the rack bodies 6 must be replaced from time to time by new foodstuffs that are arranged behind those still on the

  racking, in order to sell the oldest products first.

  In order to facilitate the re-supplying process, at least one of the rack bodies (in the figure, the second body from the top) is slidable and can be pulled forward (shown in dashed lines). In the extended position of the shelves, it is easy to

  arrange fresh food at the rear of the rack body 6.

  To prevent the goods from slipping backwards, a protruding flange 7 is provided on the rear edge of the shelving unit 6. The shelving body 6 is slid along the brackets 5. It is provided for this purpose between the body and a console, a rolling extension which will now be described with reference to Figure 2. A part of a rack body 6 can be pulled forward and placed on the console 5, which is hung in an elongated hole 9 of the

  support bracket 4. The rack body 6 which is hollow in the interior

  door, in its peripheral peripheral zone, a U-shaped profile 10

  the branches are attached respectively to the upper wall and inferior

of the rack body 6.

  The rolling extension 8 has two rails 11, 12 which are capable of

  The rail 11 is fixed to the U-profile 10 while the other rail 12 is attached to the bracket 5. Thanks to the rolling extension 8, the body rack 6 can slide perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing relative to the

console 5.

  The side edge of the shelving body 6 covers the rolling extension 8 and the console 5 and is folded downwards beyond

  the console 5 so as to completely cover the rolling extension.

  In order to make it possible to fix the shelving body in a determined position, for example in the position of withdrawal or of maximum extension, it is possible to provide a stop element, not shown in the figure. This immobilizing device immobilizes either the two rails 11, 12 of the

  wheelchair 8 facing each other, the spoke body

swim 6 in front of the console 5.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown and it is capable of many variants accessible to those skilled in the art without one deviates from

the spirit of the invention.
