Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A device for self-service stores, in which in front of the withdrawal compartments from which the customer withdraws his purchased checked-out goods there is provided a conveyor belt while between the latter and said withdrawal compartments there are provided two pivotal confining plates movable selectively into an open or closed position depending on the respective withdrawal compartment to be charged.
  • the present invention relates to a device for self-service stores for use in connection with shopping baskets or shopping carts, which comprises primarily a cash register stand, a deposit station for the filled shopping basket or a checkout plate for an intermediate deposit of the goods when employing shopping carts, and which furthermore comprises preferably three withdrawal compartments for the withdrawal of checked-out goods.
  • a modern cash register table is expected to have as large withdrawal compartments as possible so that an individual withdrawal compartment will also be able to receive and handle the considerably greater assortment ofgoods which during week-end hours is bought by the customers.
  • An enlargement of the withdrawal compartments as to volume is counter to the requirement to keep the space requirement of a cash register table as small as possible in order to save floor space.
  • To realize these requirements which partially counter each other is a rather difficult problem.
  • customary cash register tables comprising three withdrawal compartments, the above mentioned requirements are either hardly met or in a totally insufficient manner.
  • a cash register table has also to be considered with regard to the extent to which it taxes the physical efforts of the cashier. Also, in this respect, many of the heretofore known cash register tables are insufficient. In spite of the employment of mechanical conveying means, such as conveyor belts, with various cash register tables, relatively long conveying paths prevail which have to be bridged by manual activities ofthe cashier.
  • the space between the withdrawal of the goods by the cashier during her checking-out operation and the three withdrawal compartments has been reduced in a novel manner over previous arrangements.
  • the withdrawal of the goods which when employing shopping baskets corresponds to the depositing station of the filled shopping baskets and which when employing shopping carts is formed by a checkout plate located at the end of the conveyor belt, is, with this suggestion located directly in front of the inclined surface merging with the withdrawal compartments, and more specifically, in the center ofthe device, i.e., in front ofthe centra] withdrawal compartment.
  • lt is an object of the present invention to provide a device for self-service stores of the above mentioned type, which will materially improve the arrangement and design of the means for conveying the checked-out goods to the individual withdrawal compartments.
  • lt is another object of this invention to provide a device, as set forth in the preceding paragraph, which will result in a further enlargement of the withdrawal compartments while simultaneously the overall surface of the device is maintained and while simultaneously the servicing and handling of the devices provided for the loading of the individual withdrawal compartments is greatly simplified.
  • lt is still another object of this invention to provide a device, as outlined above, which will make it possible for the cashier for each charging position to adjust the two customary loading positions by a single control movement.
  • a still further object of the present invention consists in a device, as set forth in the preceding paragraph, in which the manually operable control movement will be a movement to be carried out only in two opposite directions.
  • Still another object of the invention consists in so designing the device according to the present invention that the means by which the checked-out goods are conveyed to the withdrawal compartments are such that structurally simple and operatively safe elements can be employed.

  • FIG. 16 diagrammatically illustrates a further driving device for tilting the confiningv plates while employing two driving worms.
  • FIG. 17 illustrates on a larger scale, a cutout of a driving shaft of the device according to FIG. 16 with a bushing mounted thereon.
  • FIG. 18 is a section through the bushing, said section being taken along the line XVIII-XVIII ofFIG. 17.
  • the device according to the present invention is characterized primarily in that in front of the withdrawing compartments in a cutout of the inclined surface there is provided a conveyor belt in the form of an endless metal belt or a conveyor belt with links.
  • the upper section of said conveyor belt is located slightly above the inclined surface and parallel to the plane of said upper section while the length of said belt protrudes slightly beyond the width of the central withdrawal compartment, said conveyor belt being operable in both directions.
  • two pivotable confining plates which are pivotable about axes perpendicular to the inclined surface.
  • These confining plates are by means of links below the inclined surface interconnected for simultaneously carrying out oppositely directed pivoting movements while the confining plates may be arranged either along a rectilinear extension of separating walls (open position) confining the intermediate withdrawal compartment or may be in a position turned by 90 (closing position), in which they close the central withdrawal compartment in the manner of a twowing door.
  • the device is furthermore characterized in that it comprises a slide which is reciprocable parallel to the conveyor plane of the conveyor belt or is reciprocable in the conveying direction.
  • This slide which extends directly above the conveyor belt over its full width, is located below said inclined surface and is adapted by means of control elements, for instance, abutments, or the like, to act upon the confining plates in such a way that when the slide moves into one or the other end position outside the partitions, the confining plates will be pivoted into their open position, or with an opposite movement will be pivoted into closing position into a position forming an extension of one of the two partitions.
  • control elements for instance, abutments, or the like
  • the confining plates are equipped with pivots which relative to the mounting area of said plates extend downwardly and to which radially protruding levers are connected.
  • Two of these levers which are located on different pivots and are offset with regard to their position by 90 are pivotally interconnected by a push and pull rod, whereas other levers are provided for translating the longitudinal movement of the slide into a turning movement of the confining plates.
  • the slide is connected to a frame with a sleeve which is displaceable on a rod, said frame having abutments for engagement with said levers.
  • two levers have connected thereto an elastic element, for instance, a spring which is loaded in response to an opening movement of the two confining plates.
  • the frame is provided on one hand with two abutments in different planes for carrying out opening movements of the confining plates in the same direction, and is furthermore provided with a third abutment for carrying out a relatively small pivoting movement in the opening direction of the respective confining plate opposite the slide.
  • the push and pull rod has an oblong hole on a connecting link.
  • a slight protrusion ofthe confining plate at the butting areas may also be obtained by a parallel displacement of the respective confining plate in the direction toward the conveyor.
  • a design may be provided according to which the pivots of the confining plates are arranged on latches which are displaceable to a limited extent in a direction transverse to the conveying direction and which are adjustable individually by an abutment on the frame against the force of an elastic element, for instance, against the thrust of a spring, in a direction toward the conveyor.
  • the slight parallel displacement of the confining plate as well as the slight pivoting movement will occur when the slide is moved into a position between the withdrawal compartments along an extension of one of the two confining walls.
  • the confining plates have a cross section according to which the profile flares in a wedge-shaped manner from the free end thereof, while the pivot axes are offset in the direction toward that wall of the confining plate which faces the central withdrawal compartment.
  • This offset arrangement of the pivot axes brings about that in the closing position of said confining plates, that wall thereof which faces the conveyor belt, protrudes somewhat beyond the edge of the conveyor belt, and that in the open position of said confining plates that wall which is located on the opposite side is located in about the same plane as the inner wall of the respective partition.
  • the invention For purposes of actuating the slide, the invention provides at the upper end of the inclined surface a handling strip which extends substantially parallel to the conveyor belt and which is displaceable in the direction of its longitudinal axis and has a length corresponding approximately to a half the width of the device.
  • the bottom surfaces of the withdrawal compartments may be located along a rectilinear extension of the inclined surface. ln order to be able easily to remove the soil from certain goods, especially products of the soil, a drawer is arranged below the conveyor belt.
  • Such link conveyor belt will, under normal conditions, assure a proper transport of all goods involved, but in view of the rotatable pipe pieces has the advantage that in case relative velocities occur between the conveyor belt and the goods to be conveyed, for instance, in view of temporary accumulations, the conveyor belt will be able unimpededly to move below the goods.
  • the rotary movements of the individual pipe pieces which occur in such an instance aids the separation of soil particles within the region of the conveyor belt and thus aids the transfer of soil particles onto the drawer below the conveyor belt. In this way, the withdrawal compartments are preceded by a so-to-speak cleaning zone.
  • a movable conveyor belt for introducing the goods into the three withdrawal compartments, there are provided for movement in opposite directions, a movable conveyor belt, a reciprocable slide movable back and forth in the conveying direction, and two pivotable confining plates.
  • Slide and confining plates are, by links and guiding means, interconnected to such a way that by means of a single adjusting movement, the slide plates on the other hand will be moved simultaneously.
  • the side may occupy two positions outside the separating walls in which the confining plates occupy their open position and thus permit the loading of the central withdrawal compartment. ln this instance, the conveyor belt is at a standstill and its upper or taut section serves as sliding surface.
  • the two confining plates occupy their closing position while simultaneously forming an abutment surface for the goods to be conveyed to the right-hand or left-hand outer withdrawal compartment by means of the conveyor belt.
  • the slide serves as rearward confinement of the conveyor belt with regard to the withdrawal compartment which has not been released for charging.
  • a further important advantage of the device according to the invention consist in that the distance between the start of the inclined surface and the ends of the two partitions between the three withdrawal compartments can be reduced to a value which practically corresponds to the width of the conveyor belt.
  • the width of the conveyor belt is dependent on the maximum width of the goods offered for purchase.
  • the obtained reduction in the length of the inclined surface in front of the withdrawal compartments may be taken advantage of for decreasing the overall length of the device or for a corresponding extension of the withdrawal compartments.
  • the detail illustrated therein has a rectangular base contour and comprises a cash register stand 1, a space 2 for the cashier 3, a deposit station 4 for the shopping baskets 5, a place 6 for a helper 7, and adjacent to an inclined surface 8 has three withdrawal compartments 9, 10, 11 arranged alongside each other.

  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate a device according to the invention for use in connection with shopping carts.
  • the shopping car is moved adjacent to the device.
  • the purchaser takes his goods out of the shopping cart and places said goods onto a conveyor belt 15 which is followed by a checkout plate 16 for an intermediate deposit of the goods during the time the cashier checks out the goods.
  • the design of FIGS. 3 and 4 corresponds to that of FIGS. 1 and 2. Therefore, the same parts in FIGS. 1 and 2 on one hand and FIGS. 3 and 4 on the other hand have been designated with the sarne reference numerals.
