Description

Title of the invention: Presentation case for the sale and transport of goods

Technical Field The present invention relates to a display case for sale and transport for receiving and presenting goods, comprising longitudinal walls and transverse walls, facing each other in pairs, vertically oriented, fixed at the corners to support posts and which delimit at least by zones, a bottom of a body for receiving goods, this bottom of the body being able to be positioned at a different height.

Prior art [0002] The display cases for sale and transport for receiving and presenting products or goods as defined above are used in places of sale, for example supermarkets for different presentation and sales applications, for example, to present seasonal products and / or promotions beyond the basic assortments of the sales area to be perceived preferentially by the public of customers. In addition, such display cases for sale and transport are usually equipped as mobile units, for example, presentation and transport carts with rollers which can be blocked. Often these boxes are designed to be collapsed and stored in the collapsed state, compact, when not in use.

Such display cases for sale and transport receive the most different goods or products and thus the sales and transport cases, known have funds adjustable in height. Reference is made, for example, to document DE 20 2013 009 631 U1 which shows an embodiment of a sales and transport case which is generally removable; the bottom of the body can be fixed at different heights to the side walls using support links. In addition, crosspieces are provided to subdivide the useful area above the bottom of the box. The disadvantage of this solution is that, to move the bottom of this bottom wall, it is necessary to remove the products placed there. Then, it is necessary to extract the bottom of the body to place the connecting and supporting members in other places; service personnel must ensure that the various support links are fixed in height positions corresponding to the side walls so that the bottom of the body can be installed horizontally after its height adjustment. These operations are long and complicated.

AIM OF THE INVENTION The aim of the present invention is to develop a presentation and sale presentation box, corresponding to the type defined above, and which includes an equipment wall, not reduced which is at least one bottom of the body which can be raised and lowered and be locked at a chosen height.

PRESENTATION AND ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION To this end, the present invention relates to a display case for sale and transport for receiving and presenting goods, having longitudinal walls and transverse walls, being face in pairs, oriented vertically, fixed at the corners to support posts and which delimit at least by zones, a bottom of a body for receiving goods, this bottom of the body being able to be positioned at a different height. This body is characterized in that at least this bottom of the body is supported on at least two positioning devices installed in two neighboring support posts, these positioning devices making it possible to raise and lower at least this bottom of the body in translation, keeping its horizontal orientation, to be raised and lowered to different heights and to be locked in a chosen height position.

This gives a presentation case for sale and transport and which allows in an extremely simple way to move at least one bottom of the body using two adjuster or neighboring displacement devices, retaining the horizontal orientation to have a movement in translation, that is to say a movement of raising or lowering of the bottom of the box without having to extract it and without having to remove the products previously installed on this bottom to perform a height adjustment of the bottom of the box, this overall movement in height, being done with a horizontal orientation of the bottom of the box. It is no longer necessary to extract the bottom of the box or to put the bottom of the box in an inclined position.

Preferably, the positioning devices of the neighboring support posts are connected so as to be synchronized in movement. This is done for example in that the positioning drives are synchronized in movement by a rod and in that, for example, the positioning drives have toothed pinions, that is to say that the two sides of the body , in the associated support posts which are joined together in movement, necessarily the toothed pinions, perform movements which correspond. However, it is also possible to achieve the same result, for example, as support posts equipped with linear guides and a movable linear guide body in upward and downward movement. These may be, for example, linear guide members in the form of sleds which provide linear guidance or which are guided therein in order to ascend and descend. In addition, one can also consider threaded pins with corresponding nuts to perform the up and down movement. The drives also allow the up and down movement of at least one body bottom forming part of the respective positioning drive to be carried out. For this, a manual positioning drive is provided. Motor drives can, however, also be used, such as electric motor drives, pneumatic drives and / or hydraulic drives. Similarly, it is possible, for example, to use belt transmissions or toothed belt transmissions as part of the positioning devices.

Preferably, the positioning devices of neighboring support posts are synchronized in movement. This makes it possible to integrate a rack in each support post, this rack cooperating with a toothed pinion of the respective positioning device. The horizontal support is provided by two respective rolling rollers provided in the corresponding support post as part of the positioning device and which is supported under the bottom in its horizontal mounting on the support post and this so that the two support rollers of the support post as well as the toothed pinions associated therewith, are always at the same height and can be moved like the support rollers and the toothed pinion of the synchronized positioning device, integral in movement for the neighboring support post. The synchronization of movement can be done by the intermediary of a connecting element connected integrally in movement, for example, to the toothed pinions of positioning drive associated with each other to allow a raising and / or a lowering of the bottom of the body, this movement also being reinforced by the self-weight which moves the bottom of the body, in the horizontal direction, after the actuation of a service element.

So that from the start, during the establishment of the bottom of the body with the two positioning devices, that is to say the rollers and the toothed pinion, are put in a horizontal orientation, a development of the invention provides that the support post has inside a first stop, placed, for example, on the positioning device, so that the position, for example of a toothed pinion of the positioning device either such that after the installation, the pinion penetrates in such a way inside the support post to reach the rack associated with each toothed pinion. This is done for the two neighboring support posts because they have the same stops at the same height. The positioning in the two support posts is done simultaneously so that in this position the toothed pinions of the two positioning devices on the two sides of the bottom of the body, are at the same height, directly in front of the first toothing of the rack, that is to say meshing at the same time at the same height in the respective toothing with the horizontal orientation of the bottom of the body so that thanks to these construction data, there will be automatically the synchronization of the movement of the two devices positioning, automatically and excluding any operator intervention error.

To block the positioning devices at the desired height, or to support them, there are counter-supports on the respective support posts comprising blocking elements, in particular in the form of pivoting blocking locks, by example that can tip over. These blocking locks are put in the release position by a service element and this preferably in synchronism in that the service element is connected to the blocking lock of the two blocking devices (manual operation). Preferably, these movable elements in pivoting or tilting are such that on returning from the service element in the rest position, the locking latches, under the effect of their own weight and / or with the action of a spring, pivoting again in the locked position; thus after the lifting of the bottom of the box and the sliding of the blocking locks by passing the counter-supports, arriving in the release position after the return of the service element, the blocking locks swing again, in return, automatically in their blocking position so that after having let the bottom of the body sink with the fund bottom adjustment device the locking locks are retained against the counter-supports, and cannot descend beyond the selected position . All this is done while maintaining the horizontal orientation of the bottom of the body without having to remove any product.

Brief Description of the Drawings The present invention will be described below in more detail using the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings in which:

In the drawings we will use the same references to designate the same elements. Description of the embodiment of the invention [0029] Figures 1 to 13 show an exemplary embodiment of a presentation box for sale and transport of goods used to present and receive goods, bearing the reference 1; this box has longitudinal sides 2 which face each other and transverse sides 3 which face each other; the sides are connected to support posts 4 at the corners and which, in the example of embodiment presented, are supported on two bodies 5.1 and 5.2; these funds are separated from one another by vertical grids 6 and above these transverse walls 7 in relief, to subdivide the useful volume 8 formed by the funds 5.1 or 5.2.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, in the case of a presentation of goods for sale, the cash funds 5.1 and 5.2 are horizontal so that the goods are standing and lying in volumes. Rollers 9 allow the display case for sale and transport to be moved.

It is further expected that the sales presentation box and transport 1 can be folded by appropriate joints; for example, when the bodies 5.1 and 5.2 as well as the transverse grids 6 and 7 are removed, the walls can be folded down one on the other in a shear movement, to allow storage in a grouped position, and, if necessary, be deployed again to form the sales and transport presentation case 1.

Figure 1 shows that the right post 4, upper rear, includes a positioning device 10 with an operating element 11 to put the upper left body bottom 5.1 according to Figure 1, in different height positions. The operating element 11 thus synchronizes the positioning device 10 of the upper right post 4 with the operating device 10 of the left, upper 5.1 body bottom provided on the upper left post 4.

Figure 2 shows the embodiment of Figure 1 in a top view showing that the bottom of the body 5 consists of two units of the bottom of the body 5.1, 5.2 separate.

Figure 3 shows a similar example and a view similar to that of Figure 2. The number of positioning devices 10 is indicated; the lower positioning devices 10 are synchronized in movement and are controlled by the common operating rod 11.

Figure 4 explains, in a partially cut away view, a front view of the embodiment of Figure 1 in which the adjusting devices 10 of the two support posts 4 adjacent to the transverse wall 3 are shown in more detail; a rack 13 appears in each of the two support posts 4 and, in addition, rollers 14 mounted by a bearing on the shaft 11 as well as other rollers 15 at a certain vertical distance under the rollers 14 and resting on the support post 4 on a rolling surface thereof; thus, the bottom part of the body 5.2 is held in its horizontal position. A blocking lock 16 makes it possible to block the body funds 5.1, 5.2 against a support 17 in a certain height position. The rack 13 as well as the rack pinion 18 ensure that, in a synchronized manner, the body bases 5.2 can go up and down without losing their horizontal position so that the goods remain upright or lying down during the movements of ascent and descent without 'it is necessary to remove them.

Figures 5 and 6 show in more detail a positioning device 10 which equips each support post 4. We see the rack 13, the two rollers 14 and 15 and the pinion 18 and the shaft 11 coupled to the roller 14 as well as the pinion 18 coupled to the roller 14. In addition, we see the crankset 17 as well as the locking bolt 16 which is pivotally mounted at point 19 so that after being activated, it can move to the release position and after deactivation, return under the effect of its own weight, and the fulcrum of the center of gravity, again in the blocking position shown in Figure 5.

Figure 6 is a representation similar to that of Figure 5. However, the locking bolt 16 is spaced from the bearing 17 by the activation installation 20. This switches the end 21 of the lock of blocking 16 so that the blocking latch 16 pivots inward around the pivot axis 19 to be raised or lowered in the release position, cooperating with the activation installation 20 by the axis 11 ; this downward or upward movement takes place with the rack 13 and the toothed pinion 18; the movement is forcibly synchronized or synchronized in movement between the positioning device 10 of one of the support posts 4 and the positioning device 10 (not shown in FIG. 6) of the other positioning device 10 of the post bearing support 4. Thus, the respective rollers 14 and 15 bear against the corresponding rolling surfaces of the support posts 4 so that the bodywork 5.1 or 5.2 retain their horizontal orientation during the upward movements. and downhill.

Figure 7 is an enlarged view corresponding to an alternative embodiment; according to this alternative embodiment, the support post 4 comprises curved branches 4.1, the inner sides of which form the rolling surfaces of the support rollers 14 or the support rollers 15 located below these; each support roller 14 is connected to the shaft and thus to the toothed wheel 18 circulating on the rack 13.

Figure 8 again shows this situation.

Figure 9 shows a representation similar to that of Figure 8 of an alternative embodiment with a locking bolt 16. In addition, there is provided an operating element in the form of a rod d steel tape 11.1 to unlock the locking bolts 16.

Figure 10 is a sectional view once again of the position of the locking bolt 16 tilted in its release position around the tilting or pivoting axis 19.

Figure 11 again shows a view from the longitudinal wall 2 of the respective positioning devices 10 (left and right). The right positioning device 10 is responsible for the horizontally oriented position of the right body bottom 5.2; the left adjusting device 10 is responsible for the horizontally oriented movement of the left body bottom 5.1.

Figure 12 again shows the positioning device 10 of Figure

11. FIG. 13 shows a front view of the sales and transport presentation case 1 comprising the support post 4 and the positioning devices 10, integrated, with the locking stops 16 and the corresponding toothed pinion 18 thus as the support bearings 17 for moving the bodies 5.1 and 5.2 according to their horizontal orientation and putting them in a selected height position.
