Abstract

In an information cassette for receiving exchangeable information carriers including a carrier housing, the carrier housing has bent over top and bottom end walls and a T-shaped center web so as to form two information carrier sections covered by hinge lids on which the information carriers can be mounted and which have bottom walls with springs on which the hinge lids are seated in the carrier housing and which resiliently bias the hinge lids upwardly such that the top ends of the hinge lids are engaged behind the front edges of the bent-over carrier housing top end wall or the T-shaped center web, respectively.

Description

Anzeigekassette für auswechselbare Informationsträger mit einem mittels zumindest einem Klappdeckel verschließbaren Trägergehäuse Display cassette for interchangeable information carriers with a carrier housing which can be closed by means of at least one hinged cover
Beschreibung :Description :
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anzeigekassette für auswechselbare Informationsträger mit einem Trägergehäuse in dem mindestens ein durch eine Schwenkbewegung offenbarer, wenigstens teilweise transparenter Klappdeckel mit zumindest einem integrierten Fach zur Aufnahme eines Informationsträgers angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a display cassette for interchangeable information carriers with a carrier housing in which at least one hinged lid, which can be opened by a pivoting movement and is at least partially transparent and with at least one integrated compartment for receiving an information carrier, is arranged.
Eine derartige Anzeigekassette ist aus der EP 0 383 042 bekannt. Die dortige Anzeigekassette besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Grundkörper, einem Klappdeckel und einer Verschlußkassette. Der über den Grundkörper klappbare Klappdeckel sitzt gelenkig gelagert am Grundkörper. Die Schwenkachse des Klapp- deckeis liegt im unteren Bereich des Grundkörpers. Im Grundkörper sind dort mehrere Fächer zur Aufnahme von Teilinformationsträgern angeordnet. Oberhalb dieser Fächer ist im Klappdeckel ein Fach für einen weiteren Teilinformationsträger angeordnet. Das Fach, einschließlich des darin aufgenommenen Informations- trägers liegt oberhalb und vor den Teilinformationsträgern der Fächer des Grundkörpers. Über den oberen Bereich der geschlossenen Anzeigekassette wird nach dem Beschicken oder Austauschen der Teilinformationsträger die Verschlußkassette über die Kombination aus Grundkörper und Klappdeckel gestülpt. Die Verschluß- kassette verriegelt die Anzeigekassette. Eine derartige Kassette hat mehrere Nachteile. Zum einen ist die Handhabung der Anzeigekassette umständlich und aufwendig. So müssen zum Austausch von Teilinformationsträgern immer mindestens zwei Teile bewegt werden. Die Verschlußkassette muß abge- nommen und der Klappdeckel vorgeklappt werden. Beim Vorklappen kann der Klappdeckel voll aufklappen, wodurch der Informationsträger unmittelbar herausfallen kann. Zum anderen liegen nicht alle Informationsträger in einer Ebene hinter der Sichtscheibe, was u.a. auch die Lesbarkeit durch ungünstige Schattenbildung oder Verrutschen des vorderen Informationsträgers bewirken kann.Such a display cassette is known from EP 0 383 042. The display cassette there essentially consists of a base body, a hinged lid and a closure cassette. The hinged lid, which can be folded over the base body, is articulated on the base body. The swivel axis of the folding ceiling ice lies in the lower area of the base body. Several compartments for accommodating partial information carriers are arranged there in the base body. Above these compartments, a compartment for a further partial information carrier is arranged in the hinged lid. The subject, including the information carrier contained therein, lies above and in front of the partial information carriers of the subjects of the basic body. After loading or exchanging the partial information carriers, the closure cassette is put over the combination of base body and hinged cover over the upper area of the closed display cassette. The locking cassette locks the display cassette. Such a cassette has several disadvantages. Firstly, the handling of the display cassette is cumbersome and time-consuming. In order to exchange partial information carriers, at least two parts always have to be moved. The locking cassette must be removed and the hinged lid must be folded forward. When folding forwards, the hinged lid can open fully, which means that the information carrier can fall out immediately. On the other hand, not all of the information carriers are located in one plane behind the viewing window, which among other things can also make them legible due to unfavorable shadows or the front information carrier slipping.
Des weiteren besteht durch die große Angriffsfläche der Verschlußkassette immer die Gefahr, daß durch Personen- oder Warenkontakt diese nach oben abgeschoben wird und sich hierbei die Anzeigekassette öffnet.Furthermore, due to the large contact surface of the locking cassette, there is always the risk that it will be pushed upwards by contact with people or goods and that the display cassette will open.
Ferner ist aus der DE 72 22 056 Ul eine Anzeigetafel bekannt, in der seitlich einschiebbare Schilder an separaten Kassetten angeordnet sind. Die Schilder sitzen in Führungsschienen an den Außenwänden der einzelnen Kassetten. Sie werden durch montierbare Seitenschienen vor einem seitlichen Herausfallen geschützt. Die Kassetten selbst werden zum Auswechseln der Schilder in einer Hub- und Schwenkbewegung entnommen und wieder eingesetzt. Diese Anzeigetafel hat einen komplizierten Aufbau und erfordert für das Auswechseln der Schilder mehrere Arbeitsgänge.Furthermore, a display board is known from DE 72 22 056 Ul, in which laterally insertable signs are arranged on separate cassettes. The signs sit in guide rails on the outer walls of the individual cassettes. They are protected from falling out laterally by mountable side rails. The cassettes themselves are removed and replaced in one lifting and swiveling movement to replace the signs. This display panel has a complicated structure and requires several operations to replace the signs.
Der Erfindung liegt daher das Problem zugrunde, eine Anzeigekassette zu schaffen, die bei einfacher und unkomplizierter Handhabung einen schnellen und sicheren Wechsel von Teilinforma- tionsträgern erlaubt. Gleichzeitig soll die Anzeigekassette robust sein. Außerdem soll konstruktionsbedingt ein unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen durch Fremdeinwirkung verhindert werden. Des weiteren sollen die aus dem Bereich des Standes der Technik bekannten Nachteile weitgehend vermieden werden. Die Erfindung wird mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Der einzelne aus dem Trägergehäuse herausnehmbare, über eine Schwenk- und Hubbewegung verschließbare Klappdeckel weist eine Sichtscheibe auf, an die sich mit Ausnahme der oberen Vorder- kante bei drei Kanten zumindest in Teilbereichen Seitenwände anschließen. Der Klappdeckel wird bei geschlossener Anzeigekassette im Bereich seiner beiden parallel zu seiner Schwenkachse verlaufenden Sichtscheibenkanten wenigstens abschnittsweise umgriffen, wobei er sich mit Hilfe eines zwischen ihm und dem Be- reich des Trägergehäuses - in dessen Nähe sich der jeweilige Boden eines Klappdeckels befindet - angeordneten Federmechanismus zumindest bereichsweise mit der nicht dem Federmechanismus benachbarten Sichtscheibenkante oder einem anderen vorderen Teilbereich gegen das Trägergehäuse abstützt. Hierbei ist der Feder- weg des Federmechanismus größer als der Schließhub des Klappdeckels in Abstützrichtung.The invention is therefore based on the problem of creating a display cassette which, with simple and uncomplicated handling, allows a quick and safe change of partial information carriers. At the same time, the display cassette should be robust. In addition, due to the design, unintentional opening due to external influences should be prevented. Furthermore, the disadvantages known from the prior art are to be largely avoided. The invention is solved with the features of the main claim. The individual hinged lid, which can be removed from the carrier housing and can be closed by means of a swiveling and lifting movement, has a viewing window which, with the exception of the upper front edge with three edges, adjoins side walls at least in some areas. When the display cassette is closed, the hinged cover is at least partially encompassed in the region of its two viewing window edges running parallel to its pivot axis, at least with the aid of a spring mechanism arranged between it and the area of the carrier housing - in the vicinity of which the respective bottom of a hinged cover is located supported in regions with the lens edge not adjacent to the spring mechanism or another front section against the carrier housing. The spring travel of the spring mechanism is greater than the closing stroke of the hinged lid in the support direction.
Diese Konstruktion ermöglicht eine einfach zu handhabende, robuste Anzeigekassette. Die Klappdeckel sitzen bei einer geschlossenen Anzeigekassette komplett im schützenden Trägergehäuse. Der Federmechanismus und die Führungsteile, in denen die Klappdeckel eingesetzt werden, befinden sich verdeckt im Trägergehäuse. Auf diese Weise kann die Anzeigekassette die üblichen mechanischen Stöße in alle Richtungen unbeschadet verkraften. Auch eine herabfallende Anzeigekassette öffnet sich beim Aufschlag auf den Boden nicht.This construction enables an easy-to-use, robust display cassette. When the display cassette is closed, the hinged covers sit completely in the protective carrier housing. The spring mechanism and the guide parts in which the hinged covers are used are concealed in the carrier housing. In this way, the display cassette can withstand the usual mechanical shocks in all directions without damage. Even a falling display cassette does not open when it hits the floor.
Da sich die Klappdeckelseitenwände, und bei Deckeln mit mehreren Fächern, auch die Trennstege am Trägergehäuse abstützen, sind diese Anzeigekassetten auch trittfest, so daß eine herabgefallene Kassette durch versehentliches Drauftreten nicht zu Bruch geht.Since the hinged lid side walls, and in the case of lids with several compartments, the dividers are also supported on the carrier housing, these display cassettes are also tread-resistant, so that a fallen cassette is not broken by accidental treading.
Das empfindlichste Teil der Anzeigekassette ist der Federmechanismus, der die Klappdeckel durch die entsprechenden Umgriffe des Trägergehäuses schiebt bzw. dort fixiert. Der Federmechanismus kann verschiedenartig gestaltet sein. Beispielsweise kann er aus einem elastischen, komprimierbaren Gummischlauch, einer Gum- mischnur, einem elastischen Kunststoffröhrchen, Kunststoffblattfedern, mehreren Gummikugelchen, oder vergleichbaren Federelementen bestehen. Die Federelemente können entweder lose im Trägergehäuse liegen oder an diesem bzw. dem entsprechenden Klappdeckel befestigt oder angeformt sein.The most sensitive part of the display cassette is the spring mechanism, which pushes the hinged cover through the corresponding grips of the carrier housing or fixes it there. The spring mechanism can be designed in various ways. For example, it can be made of an elastic, compressible rubber hose, a rubber mix only, an elastic plastic tube, plastic leaf springs, several rubber balls, or comparable spring elements. The spring elements can either lie loosely in the carrier housing or be fastened or molded onto this or the corresponding hinged cover.
In einem Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Federmechanismus aus mindestens zwei Biegefedern, die im jeweiligen Klappdeckel angeordnet sind. Sie sitzen dort an dem zur Schwenkachse des Klapp- deckeis parallelen Boden.In one embodiment, the spring mechanism consists of at least two spiral springs, which are arranged in the respective hinged cover. You sit there on the floor parallel to the swivel axis of the folding ceiling.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Anzeigekassette, bei der in einem Trägergehäuse (10) zwei übereinander angeordnete Klappdeckel (20, 21) mit integrierten Fächern angeordnet sind. Im rechten Teil der Figur 1 sind die Klappdeckel (20, 21) aufgeklappt dargestellt. Bei dem gezeigten Öffnungswinkel lassen sich die Klappdeckel (20, 21) durch Herausziehen in Öffnungsrichtung aus dem Trägergehäuse (10) herausnehmen. Der obere Klappdeckel (20) ist beispielsweise ein einziges Fach, in dem als Informationsträger eine Karte (1) mit einer aufgetragenen Warenbezeichnung eingelegt ist. Der untere Klappdeckel (21) beinhaltet hier sechs gleichgroße Fächer, die als Teilinformationsträger einzelne Le- porellos (2) enthalten. Die Leporellos (2) können beispielsweise zum einen je eine Stelle eines Gesamt- oder Teilpreises und zum anderen produkt- und/oder verpackungsgebundene Kurzinformationen wiedergeben.FIG. 1 shows a display cassette in which two hinged covers (20, 21) with integrated compartments are arranged in a carrier housing (10). In the right part of the Figure 1 shows the hinged lid (20, 21) opened. With the opening angle shown, the hinged covers (20, 21) can be removed from the carrier housing (10) by pulling them out in the opening direction. The upper hinged cover (20) is, for example, a single compartment in which a card (1) with an applied product name is inserted as an information carrier. The lower hinged cover (21) here contains six compartments of the same size, which contain individual leprosy (2) as partial information carriers. The Leporellos (2) can, for example, on the one hand represent a position of a total or partial price and on the other hand product and / or packaging-related brief information.
In Figur 2 ist das Trägergehäuse (10) mit einer noch zu montierenden Frontleiste (19) dargestellt. Das Trägergehäuse (10) hat eine flache Rückwand (11) an der beidseitig die Seitenwände (12, 13) zumindest annähernd rechtwinklig anschließen. Oben und unten geht die Rückwand (11) in umgrifförmige Seitenwände (15, 16) über. Diese Seitenwände (15, 16) haben eine halbzylindrische Außenkontur. Sie gehen beispielsweise nahtlos ohne Übergang aus der Rückwand (11) hervor. Zusammen mit den Seitenwänden (15, 16) bildet das Trägergehäuse (10) einen weitgehend c-förmigen Querschnitt, wie u.a. auch im Schnitt der Figur 5 deutlich zu erken- nen ist.FIG. 2 shows the carrier housing (10) with a front bar (19) which is still to be installed. The carrier housing (10) has a flat rear wall (11) to which the side walls (12, 13) connect at least approximately at right angles on both sides. Above and below, the rear wall (11) merges into wrap-around side walls (15, 16). These side walls (15, 16) have a semi-cylindrical outer contour. For example, they emerge seamlessly from the rear wall (11) without a transition. Together with the side walls (15, 16), the carrier housing (10) forms a largely C-shaped cross section, such as can also be clearly seen in the section of FIG. 5.
Ungefähr in der Mitte der Vorderseite der Rückwand (11) sind zwei durchgehende, parallele Stege (17) übereinander angeordnet. In einem Spalt (18) zwischen den Stegen (17) wird die Frontlei- ste (19) über dem Steg ihres t-förmigen Querschnitts eingesteckt und ggf. dort verklebt. Die Stege (17) teilen in Kombination mit der Frontleiste (19) das Trägergehäuse (10) in einen oberen und unteren Bereich. Jeder Bereich bildet für sich eine separate Aufnahme für einen Klappdeckel (20, 21), wobei jeweils zumindest dessen untere Zone kanal- oder rinnenförmig ausgebildet ist. In Figur 5 ist in der Ausschnittsvergrößerung die kanalförmige Ausbildung des oberen Bereiches erkennbar.Approximately in the middle of the front of the rear wall (11), two continuous, parallel webs (17) are arranged one above the other. The front ledge (19) is inserted in a gap (18) between the webs (17) above the web of its t-shaped cross section and, if necessary, glued there. The webs (17) in combination with the front bar (19) divide the carrier housing (10) into an upper and lower area. Each area forms a separate receptacle for a hinged lid (20, 21), at least in each case the lower zone of which is channel-shaped or channel-shaped. The channel-shaped design of the upper region can be seen in the enlarged detail in FIG.
Selbstverständlich kann die Frontleiste (19) auch an dem Trägergehäuse (10) angeformt sein.Of course, the front bar (19) can also be molded onto the carrier housing (10).
Jede Seitenwand (12, 13) des Trägergehäuses (10) hat an ihren freien Kanten pro Klappdeckel (20, 21) eine kreisabschnittför- mige Ausnehmung (14) . Die Ausnehmung (14) liegt pro Klappdeckel- bereich jeweils ca. in halber Höhe. Die Tiefe der Ausnehmung (14) entspricht ungefähr der halben Tiefe bzw. der halben Dicke der Anzeigekassette.Each side wall (12, 13) of the carrier housing (10) has a circular segment-shaped recess (14) at its free edges per hinged cover (20, 21). The recess (14) is approximately half the height of each hinged cover area. The depth of the recess (14) corresponds approximately to half the depth or half the thickness of the display cassette.
In den Figuren 3, 4 und 6 sind die Klappdeckel in mehreren Ansichten dargestellt. Die Vorderseite des einzelnen Klappdeckels (20, 21) bildet die sog. Sichtscheibe (23). Sie ist hier vollständig transparent. Gegebenenfalls kann sie beispielsweise durch Einfärbung, Beschichtung, Bedrucken oder dergleichen undurchsichtig sein. Die Sichtscheibe (23) ist mit Ausnahme der jeweils oberen Vorderkante mit Seitenwänden (31, 32) ausgestattet. Jede vertikal angeordnete Seitenwand (31, 32) trägt ein Griffteil (33) . Das einzelne Griffteil (33) paßt bei einer mon- tierten und geschlossenen Anzeigekassette in die entsprechende Ausnehmung (14) im Trägergehäuse (10) . Zwischen dem Trägergehäuse (10) und dem Griffteil (33) ist ein ca. 1 mm breiter Spalt vorhanden, vgl. Figur 1, linke Darstellung.In Figures 3, 4 and 6, the hinged lid is shown in several views. The front of the individual hinged cover (20, 21) forms the so-called viewing window (23). It is completely transparent here. If necessary, it can be opaque, for example by coloring, coating, printing or the like. With the exception of the upper front edge, the viewing window (23) is equipped with side walls (31, 32). Each vertically arranged side wall (31, 32) carries a handle part (33). With a mounted and closed display cassette, the individual handle part (33) fits into the corresponding recess (14) in the carrier housing (10). There is an approx. 1 mm wide gap between the carrier housing (10) and the handle part (33), cf. Figure 1, left representation.
An jeder Seitenwand (31, 32) ist parallel zur Sichtscheibe (23) ein Quersteg (34) angeordnet, der zum Umgreifen der einzelnen Teilinformationsträger (1, 2) dient. Bei dem Klappdeckel (20) fixieren die beiden Querstege (34) die Karte (1) aus Figur 1 normal zur Sichtscheibe (23) . Beim Einsetzen des mit der Karte (1) bestückten Klappdeckels (20) wird durch die Querstege (34) verhindert, daß die Karte (1) beim Schließen des Klappdeckels (20) zwischen einer der Seitenwände (31, 32) und dem Trägergehäuse (10) verklemmt wird, was das ordnungsgemäße Schließen erschwert oder verhindert.A transverse web (34) is arranged on each side wall (31, 32) parallel to the viewing window (23) and serves to grip around the individual partial information carriers (1, 2). In the case of the hinged cover (20), the two transverse webs (34) fix the card (1) from FIG. 1 normally to the viewing window (23). When inserting the with the Card (1) equipped hinged cover (20) is prevented by the crossbars (34) that the card (1) is jammed between one of the side walls (31, 32) and the carrier housing (10) when closing the hinged cover (20), which Proper closing difficult or prevented.
Der Klappdeckel (21) weist zwischen den Seitenwänden (31, 32) fünf parallele Trennstege (36) auf, so daß sechs Fächer zur Aufnahme von Teilinformationsträgern (2) entstehen. Jeder Trenn- steg (36) hat jeweils einen Quersteg (37) der auf beiden Seiten je einen Umgriff bildend ca. 1 mm über den Trennsteg (36) übersteht. An den Umgriffen stützen sich die Leporellos (2) gegen die Sichtscheibe (23) ab.The hinged cover (21) has five parallel dividers (36) between the side walls (31, 32), so that six compartments for receiving partial information carriers (2) are created. Each separating web (36) has a transverse web (37) which protrudes about 1 mm above the dividing web (36), forming a wrap on each side. The fan folds (2) are supported against the viewing window (23) by the grips.
Jeder Klappdeckel (20, 21,) hat einen Boden (41), der jeweils an die Seitenwände (31, 32) und die Sichtscheibe (23) anschießt. Im einzelnen Boden (41) sind hier je zwei biegeelastische, blattfederartige Elemente (42) integriert, vgl. Figuren 5 und 6. Diese Biegefedern (42), die in der Nähe der Seitenwände (31, 32) angeordnet sind, ragen im unbelasteten Zustand unter einem Winkel von ca. 25° aus dem Boden nach unten und außen gerichtet heraus. Eine Biegefeder (42) hat der Länge nach die Form eines aus zwei Schenkeln (43) und (44) bestehenden Winkels, wobei ein Schenkel (43), der zugleich kürzer als der andere ist, annähernd parallel zum Boden (41) verläuft. Beide Schenkel (43, 44) schließen im unbelasteten Zustand hier einen 155° -Winkel ein. Die Knickstelle zwischen den Schenkeln (43, 44) ist bogenförmig ausgebildet. Die Biegefeder (42) hat über ihre gesamte Länge einen annähernd gleichbleibenden rechteckigen Querschnitt . Es ist auch möglich, zur Veränderung der Federrate der Biegefedern (42) diese über wenigstens einen Teil ihrer Länge mit veränderlichem Querschnitt auszubilden. Beispielsweise könnte sich der Querschnitt zum freien Ende hin verjüngen. Die Biegefeder (42) hat gegenüber den sie umgebenden Boden (41) einen Spielraum von mehreren Zehntelmillimetern. Dadurch kann sie sich beim Einfedern auch geringfügig verdrehen ohne am Boden (41) zu streifen oder zu verkanten.Each hinged cover (20, 21,) has a bottom (41) which connects to the side walls (31, 32) and the viewing window (23). Two flexurally elastic, leaf spring-like elements (42) are integrated in each individual floor (41), cf. Figures 5 and 6. These spiral springs (42), which are arranged in the vicinity of the side walls (31, 32), protrude in the unloaded state at an angle of approximately 25 ° from the floor downwards and outwards. A spiral spring (42) has the length of an angle consisting of two legs (43) and (44), one leg (43), which is also shorter than the other, runs approximately parallel to the bottom (41). Both legs (43, 44) enclose a 155 ° angle in the unloaded state. The kink between the legs (43, 44) is arcuate. The spiral spring (42) has an approximately constant rectangular cross section over its entire length. To change the spring rate of the spiral springs (42), it is also possible to design them with a variable cross section over at least part of their length. For example, the cross section could taper towards the free end. The spiral spring (42) has a margin of several tenths of a millimeter relative to the floor (41) surrounding it. As a result, it can also twist slightly during deflection without grazing or tilting on the floor (41).
Bei geschlossener Anzeigekassette stützen sich die Biegefedern (42) des oberen Klappdeckels (20) an dem oberen Steg (17) ab, während sich die Biegefedern (42) des unteren Klappdeckels (21) am inneren, hier ebenen Innenboden der unteren Sei- tenwand (16) abstützen.When the display cassette is closed, the flexible springs (42) of the upper hinged cover (20) are supported on the upper web (17), while the flexible springs (42) of the lower hinged cover (21) are supported on the inner, in this case flat, inner floor of the lower side wall ( 16) support.
Jeder Klappdeckel (20, 21) ist am oberen und unteren Rand - also im Bereich der horizontalen Sichtscheibenkanten (24, 25) der Sichtscheibe (23) stufenförmig gestaltet. Im Bereich der dort gebildeten beiden Stufen (26, 27) ist die Wandstärke des Klappdeckels (20, 21) kleiner als im Sichtscheibenbereich. Die Stufen (26, 27) haben eine Tiefe, die ungefähr der Materialstärke der den Klappdeckel (20, 21,) umgreifenden Bereiche der horizon- talen Seitenwände (15, 16) des Trägergehäuses (10) bzw. derEach hinged cover (20, 21) is designed in a step-like manner at the upper and lower edge - in other words in the region of the horizontal lens edges (24, 25) of the lens (23). In the area of the two steps (26, 27) formed there, the wall thickness of the hinged cover (20, 21) is smaller than in the area of the viewing window. The steps (26, 27) have a depth which is approximately the same as the material thickness of the regions of the horizontal side walls (15, 16) of the carrier housing (10) which surround the hinged cover (20, 21)
Wandstärke des Quersteges der Frontleiste (19) entsprechen. Wegen dieser Gestaltung liegen bei geschlossener Anzeigekassette die Sichtscheiben (23) der Klappdeckel (20, 21) und die Vorderfront des Trägergehäuses (10) annähernd in einer Ebene.Correspond to the wall thickness of the crossbar of the front bar (19). Because of this design, when the display cassette is closed, the viewing windows (23) of the hinged covers (20, 21) and the front of the carrier housing (10) lie approximately in one plane.
Die Höhe der unteren Stufe (27) ist größer als die Höhe der oben liegenden Stufe (26) und größer als der Schließhub des einzelnen Klappdeckels (20, 21,). Die Gesamthöhe eines Klappdeckels (20, 21,) ist größer als der lichte Abstand zwischen der Unterkante der oberen Seitenwand (15) und der Oberkante der Frontleiste (19) bzw. der lichte Abstand zwischen der Unterkante der Frontleiste (19) und der Oberkante der unteren Seitenwand (16) . Da jeder Klappdeckel (20, 21) bei geschlossener Anzeigekassette mit Ausnahme der Griffteile (33) seitlich umschlossen wird, kann der Klappdeckel (20, 21) nur über eine kombinierte Schwenk- Schubbewegung geschlossen und geöffnet werden.The height of the lower step (27) is greater than the height of the step (26) above and greater than the closing stroke of the individual hinged cover (20, 21,). The total height of a hinged lid (20, 21,) is greater than the clear distance between the lower edge of the upper side wall (15) and the upper edge of the front bar (19) or the clear distance between the lower edge of the front bar (19) and the upper edge of the lower side wall (16). Since each hinged cover (20, 21) is laterally enclosed when the display cassette is closed, with the exception of the handle parts (33), the hinged cover (20, 21) can only be closed and opened using a combined swivel-push movement.
Eine leere und geschlossene Anzeigekassette wird zum Beladen mit Teilinformationsträgern (1, 2) dadurch geöffnet, daß beispielsweise der zu öffnende Klappdeckel (20) an seinen beiden Griff- teilen (33) nach unten geschoben wird. Beim oberen Klappdeckel (20) ist die Verschiebebewegung beendet, wenn die untere Stufe (27) vollständig durch die Frontleiste (19) verdeckt ist. In diesem Fall liegt die Sichtscheibe (23) annähernd bündig an der Frontleiste (19) an. Ferner haben in dieser Position die beiden Biegefedern (42) ihre maximale Vorspannung. Gleichzeitig liegt die Vorderkante (24) des Klappdeckels (20) unterhalb der umgreifenden Unterkante der oberen Seitenwandung (15) . Aus dieser Position heraus wird der Klappdeckel (20) nach vorn geschwenkt bis er unter der oberen Seitenwand (15) hervorgekommen ist. Dann läßt er sich schräg nach vorn und oben herausnehmen.An empty and closed display cassette is opened for loading with partial information carriers (1, 2) in that, for example, the hinged lid (20) to be opened is pushed down on its two handle parts (33). With the upper hinged cover (20), the sliding movement is finished when the lower step (27) is completely covered by the front bar (19). In this case, the lens (23) is almost flush with the front bar (19). Furthermore, in this position the two spiral springs (42) have their maximum prestress. At the same time, the front edge (24) of the hinged cover (20) lies below the encompassing lower edge of the upper side wall (15). From this position, the hinged lid (20) is pivoted forward until it emerges from under the upper side wall (15). Then it can be removed diagonally forwards and upwards.
Wird zum Öffnen des Klappdeckels (20) dieser nur einseitig - beispielsweise an nur einem Griffteil (33) - verschoben, bleibt die nicht verschobene Ecke der Vorderkante ((24) hinter dem Um- griff der oberen Seitenwand (15) . Folglich läßt sich dieserIf the hinged lid (20) is only moved on one side - for example on only one handle part (33) - the corner of the front edge (24) that has not been moved remains behind the grip on the upper side wall (15)
Klappdeckel (20) nicht öffnen. Das stellt einen Schutz vor unsachgemäßem oder unbeabsichtigtem Öffnen der Anzeigekassette dar.Do not open the hinged lid (20). This provides protection against improper or unintentional opening of the display cassette.
Nach dem Befüllen eines Faches wird der Klappdeckel (20) mit den Biegefedern (42) voraus von oben her in das Trägergehäuse (10) eingesetzt. Hierzu wird der Klappdeckel (20) unter einem Öffnungswinkel gegenüber dem Trägergehäuse (10) gehalten, wie er aus der Darstellung der geöffneten Anzeigekassette in Figur 1 zu erkennen ist. Sobald beide Biegefedern (42) auf dem oberen Steg (17), vgl. Figur 5, aufliegen, wird der Klappdeckel (20) nach unten gedrückt, bis seine Vorderkante (24) unter der Unterkante der oberen Seitenwand (15) hindurchgeht. Der dann in das Trägergehäuse (10) hineingeschwenkte Klappdeckel (20) wird von den Biegefedern (42) nach oben gedrückt, bis die obere Stufe (26) vollständig hinter der den Klappdeckel (20) umgreifenden Unterkante der oberen Seitenwand (15) verschwunden ist.After filling a compartment, the hinged cover (20) with the spiral springs (42) is inserted from above into the carrier housing (10). For this purpose, the hinged cover (20) is held at an opening angle with respect to the carrier housing (10), as is the case from the illustration of the opened display cassette in FIG. 1 is recognizable. As soon as both spiral springs (42) on the upper web (17), cf. Figure 5, lie, the hinged lid (20) is pressed down until its front edge (24) passes under the lower edge of the upper side wall (15). The hinged cover (20) which is then pivoted into the carrier housing (10) is pressed upwards by the spiral springs (42) until the upper step (26) has completely disappeared behind the lower edge of the upper side wall (15) encompassing the hinged cover (20).
Sofern die Seitenwände (31, 32) und die Trennstege (36) in den oberen Bereichen nach hinten - also von der Sichtscheibe bzw. der Vorderkante (25) weg - mindestens um die Hubhöhe abgeschrägt sind, kann der Klappdeckel (20, 21) nach dem Einsetzen seines Bodens (41) in das Trägergehäuse (10) durch reines Zudrücken verschlossen werden. Die abgeschrägten Oberkanten der Seitenwände (31, 32) bzw. der Trennwände (36) erzwingen während der schließenden Schwenkbewegung die notwendige Hubbewegung.If the side walls (31, 32) and the separating webs (36) in the upper areas are tapered towards the rear - i.e. away from the viewing window or the front edge (25) - by at least the lifting height, the hinged cover (20, 21) can be adjusted the insertion of its bottom (41) in the carrier housing (10) can be closed by simply pressing. The bevelled upper edges of the side walls (31, 32) or the partition walls (36) force the necessary lifting movement during the closing pivoting movement.
Die Anzeigekassetten haben beispielsweise an der Rückseite (11) des Trägergehäuses (10) eine Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Anbringung auf den hierfür vorgesehenen Unterlagen. Diese Unterlagen, die u.a. Preisauszeichnungsschienen oder die Vorderkanten von Regalfächern sein können, tragen hierzu schwalbenschwanzförmige Erhebungen, die von zwei an einer Anzeigekassette einander gegenüber angeordneten Schienen hintergriffen werden. The display cassettes have, for example on the rear (11) of the carrier housing (10), a fastening device for attachment to the documents provided for this purpose. These documents, which can be, among other things, price marking rails or the front edges of shelves, carry dovetail-shaped elevations for this purpose, which are gripped by two rails arranged opposite one another on a display cassette.
