  DISPLAY CABINET WITH AUTOMATIC DISTRIBUTION

BY MONETARY PAYMENT

  The invention relates to the technical sector of display cabinets presenting objects of all kinds, such as for example flowers, the object or objects

  in an indoor ambient environment to be preserved.

  We already know, according to the state of the art, different display cabinets which are supplied with coin-operated devices with display, making it possible to select the object or objects of interest to the buyer, puts, using a smart card. or other means of payment, ensure purchase and delivery. This delivery is then obtained by unlocking the display cabinet which opens the vibe or vibes corresponding to the area where the purchased object or objects are located. This type of movable showcase, especially in the floral application, is very often used and set up in

public places such as hospitals.

  The problem posed for these display cabinets resided in particular in their size, having regard to the fact that the opening of the vibrated elements is carried out in the manner of conventional vibes by lateral opening in a

  apartment or any dwelling.

  The drawback resulting from the opening / closing system of windows or glazed doors according to the prior art, also lies in the control of the

  locking / unlocking of these.

  From this prior art, the applicant's approach was to design a new display cabinet with automatic distribution, using a coin-operated system which addresses the problem of practical use, limited space and which uses simplified mechanisms for controlling the opening of the window part. These characteristics and others will become clear from the rest of the

description.

  lo According to a first characteristic of the invention, the automatic display cabinet with coin mechanism is remarkable in that it comprises a furniture structure comprising at least one module for storing and presenting objects, each module comprising a frame support provided in its lower horizontal part with a lower plate in a fixed position, around which a driving crown moves, and an upper plate in fixed position around which a moving upper crown moves, the lower plate receiving the object or objects to be presented, and in that the upper and lower crowns are fitted in their overhanging part before the front of the display cabinet and in their thickness with a profiled groove arranged in the overhanging zone allowing the fixed positioning of a window, and in that the lower crowns and upper wind movable relative to the upper and lower plates, and in that the lower crown at least is driving with means cooperating with a motorized transmission mechanism, authorizing the opening / closing of the window properly named, allowing access or

  no to the object or objects placed on the lower plate.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the vertical sides of the display cabinet are fitted with an interior chamber from their opening periphery, to allow the insertion and the displacement of the glass part, when the abovementioned crowns are urged in displacement relative to said trays to allow access or closure of the

display cabinet.

  According to another characteristic, the glass part conforms curvilinear and the cut formed on the lower and upper crowns has a profile

  O identical to that of the glass to allow its positioning and its holding.

  These characteristics and others will become clear from the rest of the

description.

  To fix the object of the invention illustrated in a nonlimiting manner in the figures of the drawings or: - Figure 1 is a 3/4 profile view of the display cabinet according to the invention. - Figure 2 is a sectional view of the display cabinet illustrating a module. - Figure 3 is a top view according to Figure 2, illustrating the plate and -

The superiors crown.

  - Figure 4 is a view according to Figure 2, illustrating a top view of the plate and the lower ring with the control mechanism in displacement. In this case, the configuration of the window is curvilinear. Figure 5 is a view according to Figure 4, with a variant of

realization of the glass profile.

  . FIG. 6 is a sectional view along the line A.A. of FIG. 4, illustrating the control in rotation of the upper rings and

associated with the glass.

  Figure 7 is an alternative view of the multi-module display cabinet according to the invention. Figure 8 is a view according to Figure 2, but with a displacement

  in rotation of said crowns allowing the opening of the window.

  In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, we now describe it

  0 in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

  The movable display cabinet with automatic object distribution is generally referred to by (1). It includes a frame, the height of which depends on the number of objects to be displayed horizontally and / or vertically. The movable showcase thus comprises a frame of parallelepiped configuration by being made of any suitable material offering solidity and security. According to the invention, the frame established as a function of the number of sonhaite modules for the presentation of objects, comprises a front face (la) partially open and rear sides and closed sides (lb-lc). The front face nevertheless presents a part of panel (ld) established on the height of the frame. The frame is brought to receive in its height at least a first lower sub-assembly (S1) and a second upper soul-assembly (S2), each of these soul-assemblies respectively comprising a plate and a crown. Each lower and upper plate (2, 3) is fixedly positioned while being maintained by any appropriate means established from the structure of the frame, of the square or other type. These lower and upper plates have a disc and wind configuration capable of receiving the object or objects to be presented. Each of these trays receives on its periphery and in

2841 359

  overflow a crown (5, 6) which is capable of being rotated relative to each of the lower and upper plates mentioned above. Each crown has, on part of its angular segment in the overflow space with respect to the plates, a cut having a profile corresponding to the profile of the glass, that is to say curvilinear (Figure 3) or with cut sides (figure 4). The length of these profiled cuts, curvilinear or others, corresponds to the width of the glass whose profile is identical. In practice, said window (7) intended to be on the front face of the display cabinet, crosses said curvilinear or other cutouts by being fixed in a rigid and firm manner relative to the crown cities. In a normal closed situation, as shown in Figure 3, the glass part is located in the part of the display cabinet, thereby protecting access to the latter. The rotation control of the upper and lower crowns is ensured by a mechanism allowing the simultaneous rotation and in the same amplitude of said crowns to allow the opening of the window. For this purpose, and in a specific implementation, the lower crown is arranged on a part of its periphery with a toothing established for example on substantially 150 angular of the crown. The building receives a motorized assembly (9) presenting an output shaft with a dense pigeon (10) capable of meshing with the toothed part of the lower crown. It is thus understood that the starting of the engine will cause the rotation of the lower crown which will cause, by the rigid connection between the two aforementioned crowns and the window, the progressive opening of the latter. There is thus shown in Figure 8 of the drawings, the opening of the display cabinet with the modified relative position of the glass and the lower crown. It should be noted that according to the invention, the ends of the glazed part are located inside the display cabinet, so that there is no possibility of access, on the initiative of third parties, to ensure a

2841 359

  violation of the display cabinet. The motorized mechanism of the precise type is combined with the aid of a remote control or other means with the coin-operated device, the chip card reader or token device allowing, after selection of the research object intended to be purchased, the opening of the display cabinet. It is provided, in addition, non-illustrated time delay means which allow, after a certain period of time, the closing of the display cabinet by the reverse movement of the engine block type 0 precise. Without departing from the scope of the invention, the display cabinet can be on several floors, as shown in FIG. 7 for example, and it is conceivable that it comprises independent systems for each module receiving a product, or else a unique set controlling the opening of access to several modules. The solution proposed by the invention is extremely simple to install and inexpensive and is above all very safe. In addition, the location necessary for its use is limited, since there is no opening of the window in the direction indicated by art.

  front in the form of hinged flaps.

  The advantages are apparent from the invention. Any type of object can be presented and sold, and in particular the sale of floral decorations can be considered. In this case, the cabinet of the movable display cabinet is arranged with additional means of sealing if necessary, of humidification if necessary, and any means suitable for the conservation of the product or products intended for sale. It is not described in the request for a

  commando and display of technical products

previous classic.

  It is also emphasized that the concept of using the engine and the pigeon of training associated with the lower crown ensures it, by its

  irreversibility, anti-burglary door lock.
