Definitions
- the invention relates to a goods sales shelf with display shelves.
- Furniture of this type generally has a plurality of levels arranged one above the other.
- each level consists of a number of identical shelves.
- refrigerated versions are also known, in which a cooling air curtain is built up on the front of the shelves and, in addition, cooling air is guided from the back of the furniture over the display shelves.
- the known types of shelves have the disadvantage that the rear area of the display shelves facing away from the customer is difficult to see and difficult to reach from the customer.
- the goods can also only be viewed from the front.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying an improved goods sales shelf in which the goods can be viewed and reached particularly well by the customer.
- one or more display shelves have circular segment-shaped recesses, within each of which a circular disk-shaped plate which is rotatable about a vertical axis is arranged.
- the circular plates can be rotated individually by the customer or can also be driven by a slowly translated electric motor. Such a drive can be interrupted periodically.
- the invention thus has two advantages: firstly, the goods located on the side facing away from the customer can be moved forward and brought to the customer's access; on the other hand, by rotating the plate, it is possible to view the goods on the plate from all sides without having to remove them from the shelf.
- the display shelf which at least partially surrounds the edge of the rotatable plate with its circular segment-shaped recess, prevents the goods from falling down if they are accidentally moved.
- the plate is enclosed by the display shelf in its rear area facing away from the customer.
- this aspect has a further advantage in the case of cooled variants of the goods display shelf according to the invention: the cold air, which passes from slots in the rear wall over the display shelves and the goods arranged on them, cannot in the area of the rotating plates fall down, but is guided through the part of the display floor with recess surrounding the plates.
- the plates arranged one above the other preferably have a common axis of rotation. If they are driven by a motive, it is also beneficial if this is done via a common shaft.
- the goods sales shelf of Figure 1 has display shelves 1a, 1b, 1c; 2a, 2b, 2c; 3a, 3b, 3c, which are placed in three levels arranged one above the other. Below the lower display shelves 3a, 3b, 3c there is a lower goods display 4 which is drawn forward, beyond the front edges of the display shelves.
- Each of the three levels has a group of plates 5,6,7.
- Each group consists of a pair of rotatable, circular disk-shaped plates; three such identical groups are arranged one above the other.
- the plates 5, 6, 7 can be rotated about a vertical axis passing through the center of the disc. They are mounted on a holder on their underside.
- the display shelves 1b, 2b, 3b have approximately half the depth of the adjacent display shelves 1a, 1c; 2a, 2c; 3a, 3c and also have, according to the invention, circular segment-shaped recesses, here in the form of semicircles. They enclose the rear half of the rotatable plates 5,6,7.
- the rotatable articulation of the plates 5, 6, 7 can be designed so that the customer can easily operate them by hand.
- a motor drive can be provided.
- plates 5, 6, 7 lying one above the other are preferably driven via a common shaft 8, as is indicated by dashed lines for the right plates in FIG.
- the shaft 8 is advantageously driven by an electric motor arranged below the lower delivery 4.
- the furniture rear wall 10 has air outlet slots 9, through which cold air flows out and is guided over the display shelves and the rotatable plates.
- air outlet slots 9 are only shown above the display shelf 2b in FIG. 1; in general, however, such devices are located above all of the display shelves 1a, 1b, 1c; 2a, 2b, 2c; 3a, 3b, 3c.
- Figure 3 shows another embodiment of a grouping with three rotatable plates 13.
- the display shelf 14 arranged in the same plane has recesses in the form of full circles, i.e. the rotatable plates 13 are completely enclosed by the display base 14.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Warenverkaufsregal mit Auslageböden. Derartige Möbel weisen in der Regel mehrere übereinander angeordnete Ebenen auf. Im allgemeinen besteht jede Ebene aus einer Reihe von identisch aufgebauten Auslageböden. Neben einfachen Regalen für ungekühlte Waren kennt man auch gekühlte Varianten, bei denen ein Kühlluftschleier an der Vorderseite der Regalböden aufgebaut und außerdem zusätzlich Kühlluft von der Möbelrückwand aus über die Auslageböden geführt wird.The invention relates to a goods sales shelf with display shelves. Furniture of this type generally has a plurality of levels arranged one above the other. In general, each level consists of a number of identical shelves. In addition to simple shelves for uncooled goods, refrigerated versions are also known, in which a cooling air curtain is built up on the front of the shelves and, in addition, cooling air is guided from the back of the furniture over the display shelves.
Die bekannten Typen von Regalen weisen den Nachteil auf, daß der hintere, dem Kunden abgewandte Bereich der Auslageböden schlecht einsehbar und schlecht vom Kunden erreichbar ist. Die Ware kann außerdem nur von vorne her betrachtet werden.The known types of shelves have the disadvantage that the rear area of the display shelves facing away from the customer is difficult to see and difficult to reach from the customer. The goods can also only be viewed from the front.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein verbessertes Warenverkaufsregal anzugeben, bei welchem die Ware vom Kunden besonders gut eingesehen und erreicht werden kann.The invention is based on the object of specifying an improved goods sales shelf in which the goods can be viewed and reached particularly well by the customer.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß ein oder mehrere Auslageböden kreissegmentförmige Ausnehmungen aufweisen, innerhalb derer je eine kreisscheibenförmige und um eine vertikale Achse drehbare Platte angeordnet ist. Die kreisförmigen Platten können einzeln vom Kunden gedreht werden oder auch von einem langsam übersetzten Elektromotor angetrieben sein. Ein derartiger Antrieb kann periodisch unterbrochen sein.This object is achieved in that one or more display shelves have circular segment-shaped recesses, within each of which a circular disk-shaped plate which is rotatable about a vertical axis is arranged. The circular plates can be rotated individually by the customer or can also be driven by a slowly translated electric motor. Such a drive can be interrupted periodically.
Die Erfindung bewirkt damit zweierlei Vorteile: Zum einen können die auf der dem Kunden abgewandten Seite befindlichen Waren nach vorne bewegt und dem Zugriff des Kunden zugeführt werden; zum anderen ist es durch Drehen der Platte möglich, die auf der Platte befindlichen Waren von allen Seiten zu betrachten, ohne daß sie aus dem Regal entnommen werden müßten.The invention thus has two advantages: firstly, the goods located on the side facing away from the customer can be moved forward and brought to the customer's access; on the other hand, by rotating the plate, it is possible to view the goods on the plate from all sides without having to remove them from the shelf.
Im allgermeinen sind bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Warenverkaufsregal mehrere Ausnehmungen und Platten vorgesehen. In bestimmten Fällen können jedoch auch eine einzige Platte und eine einzige entsprechende Ausnehmung vorteilhaft sein, um bestimmte Waren hervorzuheben.In general, several recesses and plates are provided in the merchandise shelf according to the invention. In certain cases, however, a single plate and a single corresponding recess can also be advantageous in order to highlight certain goods.
Der Auslagenboden, der mit seiner kreissegmentförmigen Ausnehmung den Rand der drehbaren Platte mindestens teilweise umschließt, verhindert ein Herunterfallen der Ware bei versehentlichem Verschieben.The display shelf, which at least partially surrounds the edge of the rotatable plate with its circular segment-shaped recess, prevents the goods from falling down if they are accidentally moved.
Dazu ist es besonders günstig, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Platte in ihrem hinteren, dem Kunden abgewandten Bereich von dem Auslageboden umschlossen wird.For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous if, according to a development of the invention, the plate is enclosed by the display shelf in its rear area facing away from the customer.
Neben der Sicherung gegen ein Herausfallen von Waren bewirkt dieser Aspekt bei gekühlten Varianten des erfindungsgemäßen Warenverkaufsregals einen weiteren Vorteil: Die kalte Luft, die von Schlitzen in der Rückwand aus über die Auslageböden und die auf ihnen angeordneten Waren streicht, kann im Bereich der drehbaren Platten nicht nach unten fallen, sondern wird durch den die Platten umschließenden Teil des Auslagebodens mit Ausnehmung geführt.In addition to securing goods against falling out, this aspect has a further advantage in the case of cooled variants of the goods display shelf according to the invention: the cold air, which passes from slots in the rear wall over the display shelves and the goods arranged on them, cannot in the area of the rotating plates fall down, but is guided through the part of the display floor with recess surrounding the plates.
Besonders vorteilhaft für die Sicherung der Waren und die Kühlluftührung in der Ebene der Auslageböden ist es, wenn die Ausnehmungen die Form eines Vollkreises aufweisen. Damit werden die drehbaren Platten an allen Seiten von den Auslageböden umschlossen.It is particularly advantageous for securing the goods and the cooling air duct in the level of the display shelves if the recesses have the shape of a full circle. The rotating shelves are thus enclosed on all sides by the display shelves.
Günstig ist auch, wenn zwei oder mehrere drehbare Platten in einer Ebene in einer Gruppe nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Dies erhöht die Übersichtlichkeit des Warenverkaufsregales und damit die Qualität der Warenpräsentation.It is also advantageous if two or more rotatable plates are arranged side by side in a group in a group. This increases the clarity of the goods sales shelf and thus the quality of the goods presentation.
Es ist vorteilhaft, die Kombination zu einer Gruppe in einer horizontalen Ebene durch Gruppierungen in vertikaler Richtung zu erweitern, indem zwei oder mehrere Gruppen in verschiedenen Ebenen übereinander angeordnet sind.It is advantageous to expand the combination into a group in a horizontal plane by groupings in the vertical direction, in that two or more groups are arranged one above the other in different planes.
Dabei weisen die übereinander angeordneten Platten vorzugsweise eine gemeinsame Drehachse auf. Falls sie mototisch angetrieben werden ist es darüber hinaus günstig, wenn dies über eine gemeinsame Welle geschieht.The plates arranged one above the other preferably have a common axis of rotation. If they are driven by a motive, it is also beneficial if this is done via a common shaft.
