Abstract

La présente invention permet de détecter avec précision le nombre restant d'articles vendus au détail installés dans la partie chargement d'une cartouche et d'avertir du fait que ce nombre est passé en dessous d'un seuil prédéterminé. La cartouche (100) selon l'invention comprend une partie chargement (10) chargée avec une pluralité d'articles vendus au détail (par exemple, des articles à fumer (60)), une plaque d'appui, une partie sollicitation servant à pousser la plaque d'appui vers l'avant, et une partie mobile (par exemple, un premier élément (160) et un second élément (170) qui se déplacent conjointement avec le mouvement de la plaque d'appui). La partie mobile comporte une partie affichage de nombre restant (31) sur la partie arrière de la cartouche (100), la partie affichage de nombre restant permettant de savoir si le nombre d'articles vendus au détail se trouvant dans la partie chargement (10) est inférieur ou égal à un nombre prédéterminé N (N étant un nombre entier). Lors du mouvement de la partie mobile conjointement avec la progression vers l'avant de la plaque d'appui jusqu'à une position prédéterminée vers l'avant, la partie affichage de nombre restant (31) passe soit d'une position d'attente à une position affichage, soit d'une position affichage à une position d'attente.
