Definitions
- the invention relates to a sales counter, with at least one of the hold for goods to be sold serving goods compartment whose operation-side opening is equipped with an actuatable plate-like closure, which at least one part, which is located in the region of one of its longitudinal edges associated stationary part-holder, which is present in the region of an edge of the operating-side opening, is engaged, wherein each closure is formed as a flap member, with the stationary part-holder-engaging part of the flap member by a predetermined degree relative to that of the Flap top or flap bottom formed flap plane is offset and the part is arranged at a predetermined angle to the flap plane flap portion.
- Sales counters are cabinet-like, especially showcase-like furniture that are regularly placed in sales rooms so that a separation of the sales room of a shop between a customer side and a control page is given.
- Customers on the customer side can do this on the opposite side
- Operating staff instruct operating personnel, which goods are desired. The operator then actuates a closure of the corresponding product compartment to open this, removes the goods, closes the goods compartment again and then packs the goods, passes them to the customer and cashed if necessary.
- Modern sales counters in particular sales counters for fresh goods, z. B. pastry or confectionery, are designed as a display case, d. H. They usually have glass walls on the customer side through which the goods presented in the goods compartments can be viewed and selected by the customer.
- Fresh produce usually requires cooling. Also baked goods, especially pastries are to be cooled, so that a dehydration process is slowed down and also z.
- Sales counters are home furnishings of a retail store, which are more or less free in the sales room and therefore usually a complete cooling device is installed.
- the cooling device is thus part of the sales counter. Determination and purpose of the sales counter is the admission and presentation of goods, which is why the necessary for cooling purposes installations in the sales counter as little as possible space to claim. Cooling devices for sales counters thus do not always have the performance that would actually be required to sufficiently cool the goods. This is especially true for on the operating side open sales counters, which indeed have the advantage that the removal and input of goods in the goods compartments for the Operating personnel is easy to use, but require high cooling capacities. In addition, in open sales counters still the problem that, if sufficient cooling capacity would be available, by condensation of humidity very quickly unwanted icing of those areas of the sales counter can occur, which due to the cooling process unavoidable temperature gradient in the frost zone temperatures accept.
- the actuation process ie the opening and closing of the goods compartment must be carried out twice for one and the same product, and then if the goods are not individually can be removed, but if it is a tray with individual items to remove from the goods compartment.
- the Closure pressed again to close the goods compartment.
- the sale of the product from the tray can then be handled outside the sales counter.
- the shutter is actuated for the third time to open the goods compartment again, so that the tray can be pushed with remaining pieces of goods back into the goods compartment.
- the fourth time is pressed to close the goods compartment again as soon as the tray, or the goods located there, rests again in the goods compartment.
- the customer expects to be served in the shortest possible time. It is also the interest of the operator to serve the customer as quickly as possible so that as much goods as possible can be delivered in a very short time.
- Sales counters of the aforementioned type are known from DE-U-93 02 448 and US-A-2,652,305.
- the plate-like closure is a viewing window protecting the goods on the buyer's side.
- a person standing at the known counter may manipulate the plate-like closure (eg, move it laterally or fold it to a predetermined angle) and operate from that opening.
- the plate-like closure at the known sales counter is the plate-like closure, the lens, tilted and removably mounted with its lower edge, for which purpose the lower edge of the plate-like closure is bordered by a special web profile, with a particular circular-shaped web extension in a suitably formed groove of a attached to the sales counter holding profile is rotatably received.
- the entire closure in predetermined angular positions can be folded, the restriction to certain angular positions difficult access options in the goods compartments of the sales counter inside.
- the invention has for its object to provide a sales counter with simplified operable closures.
- Each closure in the counter according to the invention is a simple piece of plate which defines about an axis passing through the stationary part holder and the part of the valve member operatively engageable therewith is, can be worked out.
- the plate forming the valve body has a center of gravity, and in that the part which is a means of a hinged joint, is offset from the valve plane, acts on the valve organ in predetermined folding positions a moment which the valve organ either in a folding position closing the goods compartment or in a folding compartment which opens the goods compartment folds.
- the flap member thus falls by its own weight either on or to, as soon as it is moved over a folding position away, which corresponds to a vertical plane through the folding axis.
- the part is that means of the valve organ which is involved in its hinged joint-like function. Since this part is offset from the flap top plane formed by the flap top or the flap side to the operating side, the flap member will preferably fall into an occlusive or open flap end position by itself as soon as the operator no longer manually influences the folding movement of the flap member.
- the acting as a means of a hinged joint part, with which the valve member is equipped, is integrally formed on the plate-like valve member.
- the part is preferably a flap section arranged at a predetermined angle to the flap plane.
- the angle can z. B. 45 °, the angle is of course dependent on the dimensions of the valve organ or of the width of the angled flap portion itself. With a wide flap portion can be achieved even at a dull angle sufficient displacement. The greatest possible offset in a narrow angled plate section is given at an angle of about 90 °.
- a particularly simple embodiment which is also useful for easy handling of the valve organs, provides that each part associated with the part holder is a recess which is located in the region of that edge which limits the user-side opening below.
- the lower free edge of a first longitudinal edge of the valve member, or of the part forming angled flap portion be added standing in the depression. Special joint parts are not required. Inserting the valve organs or equipping the sales counter with the valve organs is done by each valve organ is simply adjusted with its lower longitudinal edge in the corresponding recess.
- the width of the depression can restrict the flap end positions of the valve member standing in the depression, so that the flap member which is merely freestanding in the recess does not fall out of the recess, for example in the folding position which opens the goods compartment.
- Each flap member can be cut or formed with advantage from plastic plates, which is particularly suitable acrylic glass because of its transparency for the here in question valve organs of a sales counter.
- the sales counter is characterized by the fact that the flap member has at least one stop in the region of its second longitudinal edge, with which it rests in a folding position closing the goods compartment to a respective associated stationary support member, which in the region of the edge of the operating side Opening at the top is limited.
- the valve member standing in the recess can fall into a folding position closing the goods compartment, as soon as the uprising line in the recess is offset from the vertical plane towards the operating side with respect to a vertical plane.
- the flap member thus describes a leading into the closing folding position folding path until it comes to rest with its stop on the support member.
- This support member is located in the region of the edge which limits the operator-side opening above, so that the standing in the depression valve organ also retains the closing position folding. This is further promoted by the fact that the stop is offset relative to the valve plane of the valve member to the operator side.
- the part forming flap portion terminates in a wedge-shaped in cross-section skirting, wherein the wedge tip corresponds to the lower free edge of the first longitudinal edge of the flap member, with which he stands in the recess.
- the one-piece valve organ with all functional parts, which are formed according to the invention by flap sections, can be removed as a unit at any time from the sales counter, for example, to be subjected to a cleaning. After cleaning each valve organ can be re-attached to the sales counter without any special installation work by simply setting in the wells.
- This embodiment of the sales counter also makes it easier for the operating personnel to carry out the ancillary activities required in connection with the sale.
- An equipment of the sales counter with appropriate, involved in the design of the closable, user-side openings fittings can be omitted if the sales counter according to the invention is equipped with profiles that surround the edges of the user-side opening.
- Each profile is easily connectable to the sales counter by having a shape that allows a positive fit in front of the user-side edge of a shelf of a product compartment.
- Each profile has on a first profile surface which extends in a plane which is approximately parallel to the shelf, part-holder and on an opposite second profile surface support members.
- the profiles can be extruded or drawn hollow profiles made of plastic or metal.
- Each sub-holder is a recessed in the corresponding profile surface recess in the form of a longitudinal groove, preferably an undercut groove.
- the edges of the profile forming the opening edge of the groove are advantageously rounded, so that the flap member, which is received standing with its lower offset longitudinal edge in the longitudinal groove, can easily roll over these edges when it is pivoted into different folded positions.
- Each support member is also advantageously an Anformung or shaping a profile by it is designed as projecting from the respective profile surface longitudinal bar.
- the longitudinal bar can be designed in any cross-section and also be arranged on the profile that they hold the valve organ in the occlusive Folding end promotes due to the attacking in the center of gravity weight of the valve organ.
- the stop of the flap member which can be brought into operative connection with the supporting part is also advantageously a second flap section located in the region of its second upper longitudinal edge.
- This stopper forming the second flap portion is also, as the part forming the first flap portion, arranged at a predetermined angle to the valve plane, wherein the arrangement on the flap member is made so that the first and the second longitudinal edge associated flap portions to the same side of the valve organ out are bent.
- the region of the provided with the longitudinal groove profile surface, which is located on the side facing away from the goods profile of the profile, is designed as a fixed support shoulder for the folded open position flap organ.
- the arrangement is such that the folded in the open position flap organ is held horizontally, so that for the operator, for example, pulls a tray of goods from the sales tray, a support plane is created by means of folded in the open position flap organ that supports the tray and holds. The operator is thereby greatly facilitated the handling of the goods.
- supported flap organ replaces a tray tray and the operator is a multiple Opening and closing during the sale of goods from the goods department spared.
- valve organs for the purpose of opening or closing the goods compartments are easy and quick to carry out in the sales counter according to the invention. It is advantageous that the operator must not take any special care, since each flap organ always falls by itself in a secure closure position or an open position. Also, special effort is not required, since appropriate actuation forces are optionally supported by acting in the center of gravity of the plate member own weight.
- the drawing shows a schematic sectional view of the service-side opening of a sales counter.
- the sales counter has a plurality of such user-side openings in one or more levels one above the other and with each other.
- the operating side of the sales counter is the right drawing edge.
- the drawing is a sectional view of the edge of the operating side opening of a goods compartment.
- the opening is bounded by an upper edge 1 and a lower edge 2, formed from front edges of a shelf 3 and 4, which in turn consists of an insulating layer and a bottom plate 5 and 6 respectively.
- profiles 7, 8 set before the edges 1, 2 of the service-side opening, or the edges corresponding operating side edge of a shelf 3 and 4 are profiles 7, 8 set.
- Each profile 7, 8 is a Extruded profile made of plastic or metal and has on each of a first profile surface 9 and 10, which extends in a plane which is approximately parallel to the shelf, part holder 11 and 12 recessed in the form of a corresponding profile surface 10 and 9 respectively sunken, undercut longitudinal groove on.
- support members 15 and 16 are provided, wherein each support member 15, 16 as formed by the respective profile surface 13, 14 longitudinal strip 17, 18 is formed.
- the service-side opening of the sales counter is equipped with a usable as closure movable flap member 19 which has at least one part 20 which is located in the region of one of its flap edges, or in the region of its first longitudinal edge and which at least one respectively associated stationary partial Holder 11 and 12 is in the region of an edge of the operating-side opening in a hinged joint-like operative connection.
- the part 20 of the valve member 19 is a bent by a predetermined angle to the valve plane flap portion 21, which terminates in a cross-sectionally approximately wedge-shaped baseboard 22, wherein the wedge tip of the lower free edge 23 of the first longitudinal edge of the valve organ corresponds.
- the lower free edge 23 of the first longitudinal edge of the flap member 19 and the part 20 forming the flap portion 21 is received standing in the recess, which forms present as a longitudinal groove in the profile 8, the part holder 11.
- the flap member 19 can thus fold around a flap axis formed by the riot line.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verkaufstheke, mit wenigstens einem der Bereithaltung zu verkaufender Waren dienenden Warenfach, dessen bedienseitige Öffnung mit einem betätigbaren, plattenartigen Verschluß ausgerüstet ist, welcher über wenigstens ein Teil, das sich im Bereich eines seiner Längsränder befindet, mit mindestens einem jeweils zugeordneten ortsfesten Teil-Halter, der im Bereich eines Randes der bedienseitigen Öffnung vorhanden ist, in Eingriff steht, wobei jeder Verschluß als Klappenorgan ausgebildet ist, das mit dem ortsfesten Teil-Halter in Eingriff stehende Teil des Klappenorgans um ein vorbestimmtes Maß gegenüber der von der Klappenober- oder Klappenunterseite gebildeten Klappenebene versetzt ist und das Teil ein in einen vorbestimmten Winkel zur Klappenebene angeordneter Klappenabschnitt ist.The invention relates to a sales counter, with at least one of the hold for goods to be sold serving goods compartment whose operation-side opening is equipped with an actuatable plate-like closure, which at least one part, which is located in the region of one of its longitudinal edges associated stationary part-holder, which is present in the region of an edge of the operating-side opening, is engaged, wherein each closure is formed as a flap member, with the stationary part-holder-engaging part of the flap member by a predetermined degree relative to that of the Flap top or flap bottom formed flap plane is offset and the part is arranged at a predetermined angle to the flap plane flap portion.
Verkaufstheken sind schrankähnliche, insbesondere vitrinenähnliche Möbel, die in Verkaufsräumen regelmäßig so aufgestellt werden, daß eine Trennung des Verkaufsraumes eines Ladengeschäftes zwischen einer Kundenseite und einer Bedienseite gegeben ist. Die an der Kundenseite befindlichen Kunden können das an der gegenüberliegenden Bedienseite arbeitende Bedienungspersonal anweisen, welche Ware gewünscht wird. Das Bedienungspersonal betätigt sodann einen Verschluß des entsprechenden Warenfaches um dieses zu öffnen, entnimmt die Ware, schließt das Warenfach wieder und verpackt anschließend die Ware, übergibt sie an den Kunden und kassiert gegebenenfalls ab.Sales counters are cabinet-like, especially showcase-like furniture that are regularly placed in sales rooms so that a separation of the sales room of a shop between a customer side and a control page is given. Customers on the customer side can do this on the opposite side Operating staff instruct operating personnel, which goods are desired. The operator then actuates a closure of the corresponding product compartment to open this, removes the goods, closes the goods compartment again and then packs the goods, passes them to the customer and cashed if necessary.
Moderne Verkaufstheken, insbesondere Verkaufstheken für Frischwaren, z. B. Back- oder Konditorwaren, sind als Vitrine ausgebildet, d. h. sie haben zumeist an der Kundenseite Glaswände, durch die hindurch die in den Warenfächern präsentierten Waren vom Kunden betrachtet und ausgewählt werden können.Modern sales counters, in particular sales counters for fresh goods, z. B. pastry or confectionery, are designed as a display case, d. H. They usually have glass walls on the customer side through which the goods presented in the goods compartments can be viewed and selected by the customer.
Frischwaren erfordern zumeist eine Kühlung. Auch Backwaren, insbesondere Konditorwaren sind zu kühlen, damit ein Austrocknungsprozeß verlangsamt wird und auch z. B. Verzierungen und Überzüge aus Schokolade oder dergleichen Zuckerwerk, nicht verlaufen oder sogar schmelzen.Fresh produce usually requires cooling. Also baked goods, especially pastries are to be cooled, so that a dehydration process is slowed down and also z. B. ornaments and coatings of chocolate or the like sugar factory, do not run or even melt.
Verkaufstheken sind Einrichtungsgegenstände eines Ladengeschäftes, die mehr oder weniger frei im Verkaufsraum stehen und in die deshalb zumeist eine komplette Kühleinrichtung installiert ist. Die Kühleinrichtung ist somit Bestandteil der Verkaufstheke. Bestimmung und Zweck der Verkaufstheke ist die Aufnahme und Präsentation von Waren, weshalb die für Kühlzwecke notwendigen Einbauten in die Verkaufstheke so wenig wie möglich Bauraum beanspruchen sollen. Kühleinrichtungen für Verkaufstheken weisen somit nicht immer die Leistung auf, die an und für sich benötigt würde, die Waren ausreichend zu kühlen. Dies trifft insbesondere für an der Bedienseite offene Verkaufstheken zu, die zwar den Vorteil haben, daß die Entnahme und Eingabe von Waren in die Warenfächer für das Bedienpersonal in der Handhabung einfach ist, jedoch hohe Kühlleistungen erfordern. Hinzu kommt bei offenen Verkaufstheken noch das Problem, daß dann, wenn ausreichende Kühlleistung zur Verfügung stehen würde, durch Kondensation von Luftfeuchtigkeit sehr schnell unerwünschte Vereisungen derjenigen Bereiche der Verkaufstheke auftreten können, welche aufgrund bei dem Kühlprozeß nicht vermeidbarer Temperaturgefälle in dem Bereich der FrostGrenze liegende Temperaturen annehmen.Sales counters are home furnishings of a retail store, which are more or less free in the sales room and therefore usually a complete cooling device is installed. The cooling device is thus part of the sales counter. Determination and purpose of the sales counter is the admission and presentation of goods, which is why the necessary for cooling purposes installations in the sales counter as little as possible space to claim. Cooling devices for sales counters thus do not always have the performance that would actually be required to sufficiently cool the goods. This is especially true for on the operating side open sales counters, which indeed have the advantage that the removal and input of goods in the goods compartments for the Operating personnel is easy to use, but require high cooling capacities. In addition, in open sales counters still the problem that, if sufficient cooling capacity would be available, by condensation of humidity very quickly unwanted icing of those areas of the sales counter can occur, which due to the cooling process unavoidable temperature gradient in the frost zone temperatures accept.
Außerdem ist für die Erreichung eines einfachen Zugriffes auf die Waren in den einzelnen Warenfächern von der Bedienseite her in Kauf zu nehmen, daß erhöhte laufende Betriebskosten für die Kühlung anfallen.In addition, for the achievement of easy access to the goods in the individual goods compartments from the operating side to accept that increased ongoing operating costs incurred for the cooling.
Es ist bekannt, die Warenfächer einer Verkaufstheke mit plattenartigen Verschlüssen auszurüsten, um mit geringeren Kühlleistungen auszukommen. Die Warenfächer sind dadurch gegenüber der Umgebung der Verkaufstheke abgeschottet. Die Bedienungsperson kann sich das jeweils gewünschte Warenfach durch manuelle Öffnung zugänglich machen, indem der Verschluß vor und nach der Entnahme der jeweiligen Ware entsprechend betätigt wird.It is known to equip the goods compartments of a sales counter with plate-like closures in order to manage with lower cooling capacities. The goods compartments are thereby sealed off from the surroundings of the sales counter. The operator can make the respective desired goods compartment accessible by manual opening by the closure is operated according to before and after the removal of the respective goods.
Sollen die Offenhaltungszeiten des Warenfaches so kurz wie möglich sein, was für die optimale Kühlung zweckmäßig wäre, muß der Betätigungsvorgang, d. h. das Öffnen und Schließen des Warenfaches sogar für ein und dieselbe Ware zweimal hintereinander durchgeführt werden, und zwar dann, wenn die Ware nicht einzeln entnommen werden kann, sondern wenn es gilt ein Tablett mit einzelnen Warenstücken aus dem Warenfach zu entnehmen. Nach dem ersten Betätigen des Verschlusses und der anschließenden Entnahme des Tabletts aus dem offenen Warenfach, wird der Verschluß wieder betätigt, um das Warenfach zu schließen. Der Verkauf der Ware vom Tablett kann sodann außerhalb der Verkaufstheke abgewickelt werden. Danach wird der Verschluß zum dritten Mal betätigt, um das Warenfach wieder zu öffnen, damit das Tablett mit verbliebenen Warenstücken wieder in das Warenfach geschoben werden kann. Anschließend wird zum vierten Mal betätigt, um das Warenfach wieder zu schließen, sobald das Tablett, bzw. die darauf befindliche Ware, wieder im Warenfach ruht.If the opening times of the goods compartment should be as short as possible, which would be expedient for optimal cooling, the actuation process, ie the opening and closing of the goods compartment must be carried out twice for one and the same product, and then if the goods are not individually can be removed, but if it is a tray with individual items to remove from the goods compartment. After the first operation of the shutter and the subsequent removal of the tray from the open goods compartment, the Closure pressed again to close the goods compartment. The sale of the product from the tray can then be handled outside the sales counter. Thereafter, the shutter is actuated for the third time to open the goods compartment again, so that the tray can be pushed with remaining pieces of goods back into the goods compartment. Subsequently, the fourth time is pressed to close the goods compartment again as soon as the tray, or the goods located there, rests again in the goods compartment.
Diese Vorgänge wiederholen sich während des Abverkaufes der Waren in einem Ladengeschäft, z. B. einer Konditorei, für jedes Stück Ware, wobei die Bedienungsperson oftmals für einen Kunden auch mehrere Verschlüsse mehrerer Warenfächer mit verschiedenen Waren nacheinander zu bestätigen hat. Der Vorgang der Betätigung der die Warenfächer verschließenden Verschlüsse hat somit einen nicht unerheblichen Anteil an der Arbeitszeit der Bedienungsperson.These processes are repeated during the sale of the goods in a retail store, eg. As a confectionery, for each piece of goods, the operator often has to confirm for a customer and several closures several goods compartments with different goods in succession. The operation of the operation of the goods compartments occlusive closures thus has a significant proportion of the working time of the operator.
Der Kunde erwartet, in kürzester Zeit bedient zu werden. Es ist auch das Interesse der Bedienungsperson, den Kunden so schnell wie möglich zu bedienen, damit in kürzester Zeit möglichst viel Ware abgegeben werden kann.The customer expects to be served in the shortest possible time. It is also the interest of the operator to serve the customer as quickly as possible so that as much goods as possible can be delivered in a very short time.
Verkaufstheken der vorbezeichneten Gattung sind nach der DE-U-93 02 448 und der US-A-2,652,305 bekannt.Sales counters of the aforementioned type are known from DE-U-93 02 448 and US-A-2,652,305.
Bei der nach der DE-U-93 02 448 bekannten Verkaufstheke ist der plattenartige Verschluß eine die Ware käuferseitig schützende Sichtscheibe. Eine Person, die an der bekannten Verkaufstheke steht, kann den plattenartigen Verschluß handhaben bzw. Gebrauch davon machen (z. B. seitlich verschieben oder in einen vorbestimmten Winkel klappen) und sich von dieser Öffnung aus bedienen. Bei der bekannten Verkaufstheke ist der plattenartige Verschluß, die Sichtscheibe, mit ihrem unteren Rand kippbar und abnehmbar gelagert, wobei zu diesem Zweck der untere Rand des plattenartigen Verschlusses von einem besonderen Stegprofil eingefaßt wird, der mit einem insbesondere kreisförmig ausgebildeten Stegansatz in einer passend ausgebildeten Nut eines an der Verkaufstheke befestigten Halteprofils drehbar aufgenommen ist. Damit ist der gesamte Verschluß in vorbestimmte Winkelstellungen klappbar, wobei die Beschränkung auf bestimmte Winkelstellungen die Zugriffsmöglichkeiten in die Warenfächer der Verkaufstheke hinein erschwert.In the sales counter known from DE-U-93 02 448, the plate-like closure is a viewing window protecting the goods on the buyer's side. A person standing at the known counter may manipulate the plate-like closure (eg, move it laterally or fold it to a predetermined angle) and operate from that opening. at the known sales counter is the plate-like closure, the lens, tilted and removably mounted with its lower edge, for which purpose the lower edge of the plate-like closure is bordered by a special web profile, with a particular circular-shaped web extension in a suitably formed groove of a attached to the sales counter holding profile is rotatably received. Thus, the entire closure in predetermined angular positions can be folded, the restriction to certain angular positions difficult access options in the goods compartments of the sales counter inside.
Die nach der US-A-2,652,305 bekannte Verkaufstheke erlaubt zwar die Bereithaltung zu verkaufender Waren. Die bekannte Verkaufstheke ist aber eigentlich eine Gefriervitrine, deren betätigbarer plattenartiger Verschluß so geöffnet werden muß, daß er eine kombinierte Klapp-Schiebebewegung in die Offenstellung und zurück in die Verschlußstellung ausführt, wobei der sich öffnende Verschluß in das jeweilige Verkaufsfach hineingeschoben wird.Although the sales counter known from US Pat. No. 2,652,305 permits the provision of goods for sale. The well-known sales counter is actually a freezer, whose operable plate-like closure must be opened so that it performs a combined folding-sliding movement in the open position and back to the closed position, wherein the opening closure is pushed into the respective sales tray.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verkaufstheke mit vereinfachten betätigbaren Verschlüssen zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a sales counter with simplified operable closures.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
Jeder Verschluß ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verkaufstheke ein einfaches Plattenstück, welches um eine Achse, die durch den ortsfesten Teil-Halter und das damit in Wirkverbindung bringbare Teil des Klappenorgans definiert ist, geklappt werden kann. Die das Klappenorgan bildende Platte hat einen Schwerpunkt, und dadurch, daß das Teil, welches ein Mittel eines Klappgelenks ist, gegenüber der Klappenebene versetzt ist, wirkt auf das Klappenorgan in vorbestimmten Klappstellungen ein Moment, welches das Klappenorgan entweder in eine das Warenfach verschließende Klappstellung oder in eine das Warenfach öffnende Klappstellung klappt. Das Klappenorgan fällt somit durch sein Eigengewicht entweder auf oder zu, sobald es über eine Klappstellung hinweg bewegt ist, die einer lotrechten Ebene durch die Klappachse entspricht. Das Teil ist dasjenige Mittel des Klappenorgans, welches an seiner klappgelenkartigen Funktion beteiligt ist. Da dieses Teil gegenüber der von der Klappenober- oder der Klappenunterseite gebildeten Klappenebene zur Bedienseite hin versetzt ist, wird das Klappenorgan bevorzugt in eine verschließende oder offene Klappendstellung von allein fallen, sobald die Bedienungsperson die Klappbewegung des Klappenorgans nicht mehr manuell beeinflußt.Each closure in the counter according to the invention is a simple piece of plate which defines about an axis passing through the stationary part holder and the part of the valve member operatively engageable therewith is, can be worked out. The plate forming the valve body has a center of gravity, and in that the part which is a means of a hinged joint, is offset from the valve plane, acts on the valve organ in predetermined folding positions a moment which the valve organ either in a folding position closing the goods compartment or in a folding compartment which opens the goods compartment folds. The flap member thus falls by its own weight either on or to, as soon as it is moved over a folding position away, which corresponds to a vertical plane through the folding axis. The part is that means of the valve organ which is involved in its hinged joint-like function. Since this part is offset from the flap top plane formed by the flap top or the flap side to the operating side, the flap member will preferably fall into an occlusive or open flap end position by itself as soon as the operator no longer manually influences the folding movement of the flap member.
Das als Mittel eines Klappgelenks wirkende Teil, mit dem das Klappenorgan ausgerüstet ist, ist an dem plattenartigen Klappenorgan angeformt. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verkaufstheke ist das Teil bevorzugt ein in einem vorbestimmten Winkel zur Klappenebene angeordneter Klappenabschnitt. Der Winkel kann z. B. 45° betragen, wobei der Winkel selbstverständlich von den Abmessungen des Klappenorgans abhängig ist bzw. von der Breite des abgewinkelten Klappenabschnitts selbst. Mit einem breiten Klappenabschnitt kann auch bei einem stumpferen Winkel eine ausreichende Versetzung erreicht werden. Größtmögliche Versetzung bei einem schmalen abgewinkelten Plattenabschnitt ist bei einem Winkel von etwa 90° gegeben.The acting as a means of a hinged joint part, with which the valve member is equipped, is integrally formed on the plate-like valve member. In the case of the sales counter according to the invention, the part is preferably a flap section arranged at a predetermined angle to the flap plane. The angle can z. B. 45 °, the angle is of course dependent on the dimensions of the valve organ or of the width of the angled flap portion itself. With a wide flap portion can be achieved even at a dull angle sufficient displacement. The greatest possible offset in a narrow angled plate section is given at an angle of about 90 °.
Eine besonders einfache Ausgestaltung, die auch zweckmäßig für die einfache Handhabung der Klappenorgane ist, sieht vor, daß jeder dem Teil zugeordnete Teil-Halter eine Vertiefung ist, die sich im Bereich desjenigen Randes befindet, der die bedienseitige Öffnung unten begrenzt. Damit kann die untere freie Kante eines ersten Längsrandes des Klappenorgans, bzw. des das Teil bildenden abgewinkelten Klappenabschnitts, in der Vertiefung stehend aufgenommen sein. Besondere Gelenkteile sind damit nicht erforderlich. Ein Einsetzen der Klappenorgane bzw. das Ausrüsten der Verkaufstheke mit den Klappenorganen erfolgt, indem jedes Klappenorgan mit seinem unteren Längsrand einfach in die entsprechende Vertiefung eingestellt wird. Die Breite der Vertiefung, bzw. der Abstand zwischen ihren Öffnungsrändern, kann dabei die Klappendstellungen des in der Vertiefung stehenden Klappenorgans einschränken, damit das in der Vertiefung lediglich freistehende Klappenorgan beispielsweise in der das Warenfach öffnenden Klappstellung nicht aus der Vertiefung herausfällt.A particularly simple embodiment, which is also useful for easy handling of the valve organs, provides that each part associated with the part holder is a recess which is located in the region of that edge which limits the user-side opening below. Thus, the lower free edge of a first longitudinal edge of the valve member, or of the part forming angled flap portion, be added standing in the depression. Special joint parts are not required. Inserting the valve organs or equipping the sales counter with the valve organs is done by each valve organ is simply adjusted with its lower longitudinal edge in the corresponding recess. The width of the depression, or the distance between their opening edges, can restrict the flap end positions of the valve member standing in the depression, so that the flap member which is merely freestanding in the recess does not fall out of the recess, for example in the folding position which opens the goods compartment.
Jedes Klappenorgan läßt sich mit Vorteil aus Kunststoffplatten zuschneiden bzw. formen, wobei aufgrund seiner Transparenz für die hier in Rede stehenden Klappenorgane einer Verkaufstheke besonders Acrylglas geeignet ist.Each flap member can be cut or formed with advantage from plastic plates, which is particularly suitable acrylic glass because of its transparency for the here in question valve organs of a sales counter.
Mit besonderem Vorteil zeichnet sich die Verkaufstheke dadurch aus, daß das Klappenorgan im Bereich seines zweiten Längsrandes wenigstens einen Anschlag aufweist, mit welchem es in einer das Warenfach verschließenden Klappstellung an einem jeweils zugeordneten ortsfesten Stützteil anliegt, welches sich im Bereich des Randes, der die bedienseitige Öffnung oben begrenzt, befindet. Durch die Versetzung des unteren Klappenabschnitts des Klappenorgans, der das an der Klappgelenkfunktion beteiligte Teil bildet, kann das in der Vertiefung stehende Klappenorgan in eine das Warenfach verschließende Klappstellung fallen, sobald die Aufstandslinie in der Vertiefung gegenüber einer lotrechten Ebene durch den Schwerpunkt zur Bedienseite hin versetzt ist. Das Klappenorgan beschreibt somit einen in die verschließenden Klappstellung führenden Klappweg, bis es mit seinem Anschlag an dem Stützteil zur Anlage kommt. Dieses Stützteil befindet sich im Bereich des Randes, der die bedienseitige Öffnung oben begrenzt, so daß das in der Vertiefung stehende Klappenorgan die verschließende Klappstellung auch beibehält. Dies wird auch noch dadurch weiter gefördert, daß der Anschlag gegenüber der Klappenebene des Klappenorgans zur Bedienseite hin versetzt ist.With particular advantage, the sales counter is characterized by the fact that the flap member has at least one stop in the region of its second longitudinal edge, with which it rests in a folding position closing the goods compartment to a respective associated stationary support member, which in the region of the edge of the operating side Opening at the top is limited. By the displacement of the lower flap portion of Valve organ which forms the part involved in the hinged joint function, the valve member standing in the recess can fall into a folding position closing the goods compartment, as soon as the uprising line in the recess is offset from the vertical plane towards the operating side with respect to a vertical plane. The flap member thus describes a leading into the closing folding position folding path until it comes to rest with its stop on the support member. This support member is located in the region of the edge which limits the operator-side opening above, so that the standing in the depression valve organ also retains the closing position folding. This is further promoted by the fact that the stop is offset relative to the valve plane of the valve member to the operator side.
Der an der Funktion eines Klappgelenks beteiligte, das Teil bildende Klappenabschnitt läuft in einer im Querschnitt keilförmigen Fußleiste aus, wobei die Keilspitze der unteren freien Kante des ersten Längsrandes des Klappenorgans entspricht, mit welcher er in der Vertiefung steht.The participating in the function of a hinged joint, the part forming flap portion terminates in a wedge-shaped in cross-section skirting, wherein the wedge tip corresponds to the lower free edge of the first longitudinal edge of the flap member, with which he stands in the recess.
Das einstückige Klappenorgan mit sämtlichen Funktionsteilen, die erfindungsgemäß durch Klappenabschnitte gebildet werden, läßt sich als Einheit jederzeit von der Verkaufstheke abnehmen, um beispielsweise einer Reinigung unterzogen zu werden. Nach einer Reinigung kann jedes Klappenorgan ohne besondere Montagearbeiten durch einfaches Einstellen in die Vertiefungen wieder an der Verkaufstheke angebracht werden.The one-piece valve organ with all functional parts, which are formed according to the invention by flap sections, can be removed as a unit at any time from the sales counter, for example, to be subjected to a cleaning. After cleaning each valve organ can be re-attached to the sales counter without any special installation work by simply setting in the wells.
Auch diese Ausgestaltung der Verkaufstheke erleichtert dem Bedienungspersonal die im Zusammenhang mit dem Verkauf erforderlichen Nebentätigkeiten.This embodiment of the sales counter also makes it easier for the operating personnel to carry out the ancillary activities required in connection with the sale.
Eine Ausrüstung der Verkaufstheke mit entsprechenden, an der Ausgestaltung der verschließbaren, bedienseitigen Öffnungen beteiligten Beschlägen kann entfallen, wenn die Verkaufstheke erfindungsgemäß mit Profilen ausgerüstet wird, welche die Ränder der bedienseitigen Öffnung einfassen. Jedes Profil ist mit der Verkaufstheke einfach verbindbar, indem es eine Ausformung erhält, die eine formschlüssige Ansetzung vor die bedienseitige Kante eines Fachbodens eines Warenfaches erlaubt. Jedes Profil weist an einer ersten Profilfläche, die sich in einer Ebene erstreckt, die etwa parallel zum Fachboden verläuft, Teil-Halter und an einer gegenüberliegenden zweiten Profilfläche Stützteile auf. Die Profile können extrudierte oder gezogene Hohlprofile aus Kunststoff oder Metall sein. Dabei ist jeder Teil-Halter eine in die entsprechende Profilfläche eingelassene Vertiefung in Form einer Längsnut, vorzugsweise eine hinterschnittene Nut. Die den Öffnungsrand der Nut bildenden Kanten des Profils sind mit Vorteil abgerundet, damit sich das Klappenorgan, das mit seinem unteren versetzten Längsrand in der Längsnut stehend aufgenommen ist, an diesen Kanten leicht abwälzen kann, wenn es in verschiedene Klappstellungen geschwenkt wird.An equipment of the sales counter with appropriate, involved in the design of the closable, user-side openings fittings can be omitted if the sales counter according to the invention is equipped with profiles that surround the edges of the user-side opening. Each profile is easily connectable to the sales counter by having a shape that allows a positive fit in front of the user-side edge of a shelf of a product compartment. Each profile has on a first profile surface which extends in a plane which is approximately parallel to the shelf, part-holder and on an opposite second profile surface support members. The profiles can be extruded or drawn hollow profiles made of plastic or metal. Each sub-holder is a recessed in the corresponding profile surface recess in the form of a longitudinal groove, preferably an undercut groove. The edges of the profile forming the opening edge of the groove are advantageously rounded, so that the flap member, which is received standing with its lower offset longitudinal edge in the longitudinal groove, can easily roll over these edges when it is pivoted into different folded positions.
Jedes Stützteil ist mit Vorteil ebenfalls eine Anformung bzw. Ausformung eines Profils, indem es als von der jeweiligen Profilfläche vorragende Längsleiste ausgebildet ist. Die Längsleiste kann im Querschnitt beliebig ausgestaltet sein und auch so am Profil angeordnet werden, daß sie das Halten des Klappenorgans in der verschließenden Klappendstellung aufgrund des im Schwerpunkt angreifenden Gewichtes des Klappenorgans fördert. Ebenso wie das an der Funktion eines Klappgelenkes beteiligtes Teil ist auch der mit dem Stützteil in Wirkverbindung bringbare Anschlag des Klappenorgans mit Vorteil ein im Bereich seines zweiten oberen Längsrandes befindlicher zweiter Klappenabschnitt. Dieser den Anschlag bildende zweite Klappenabschnitt ist ebenfalls, wie der das Teil bildende erste Klappenabschnitt, in einem vorbestimmten Winkel zur Klappenebene angeordnet, wobei die Anordnung am Klappenorgan so getroffen ist, daß die dem ersten und dem zweiten Längsrand zugeordneten Klappenabschnitte zu derselben Seite des Klappenorgans hin abgebogen sind. Auch diese Maßnahmen fördern bei Einhaltung des Vorteils eines einstückigen Klappenorgans die Wirkung, daß das Klappenorgan von allein in die verschließende oder die öffnende Klappendstellung fällt.Each support member is also advantageously an Anformung or shaping a profile by it is designed as projecting from the respective profile surface longitudinal bar. The longitudinal bar can be designed in any cross-section and also be arranged on the profile that they hold the valve organ in the occlusive Folding end promotes due to the attacking in the center of gravity weight of the valve organ. Like the part involved in the function of a hinged joint, the stop of the flap member which can be brought into operative connection with the supporting part is also advantageously a second flap section located in the region of its second upper longitudinal edge. This stopper forming the second flap portion is also, as the part forming the first flap portion, arranged at a predetermined angle to the valve plane, wherein the arrangement on the flap member is made so that the first and the second longitudinal edge associated flap portions to the same side of the valve organ out are bent. These measures promote compliance with the advantage of a one-piece valve organ the effect that the valve organ falls by itself in the occlusive or the opening flap end position.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verkaufstheke ist mit besonderem Vorteil vorgesehen, daß der Bereich der mit der Längsnut versehenen Profilfläche, welcher sich an der dem Warenfach abgekehrten Seite des Profils befindet, als ortsfeste Auflage-Schulter für das in Offenstellung geklappte Klappenorgan ausgebildet ist. Dabei ist die Anordnung so getroffen, daß das in Offenstellung geklappte Klappenorgan waagerecht gehalten wird, so daß für das Bedienungspersonal, das beispielsweise ein Tablett mit Ware aus dem Verkaufsfach zieht, mittels des in Offenstellung geklappten Klappenorgans eine Auflageebene geschaffen wird, die das Tablett stützt und hält. Dem Bedienungspersonal wird dadurch der Umgang mit den Waren wesentlich erleichtert. Das in der Offenstellung befindliche, gestützte Klappenorgan ersetzt eine Tablettablage und dem Bedienungspersonal wird ein mehrfaches Öffnen und Schließen während des Abverkaufens von Ware aus dem Warenfach erspart.In the sales counter according to the invention is provided with particular advantage that the region of the provided with the longitudinal groove profile surface, which is located on the side facing away from the goods profile of the profile, is designed as a fixed support shoulder for the folded open position flap organ. The arrangement is such that the folded in the open position flap organ is held horizontally, so that for the operator, for example, pulls a tray of goods from the sales tray, a support plane is created by means of folded in the open position flap organ that supports the tray and holds. The operator is thereby greatly facilitated the handling of the goods. In the open position, supported flap organ replaces a tray tray and the operator is a multiple Opening and closing during the sale of goods from the goods department spared.
Das Betätigen der Klappenorgane zwecks Öffnung oder Schließung der Warenfächer ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verkaufstheke einfach und rasch durchzuführen. Vorteilhaft ist es dabei, daß das Bedienungspersonal keine besondere Sorgfalt walten lassen muß, da jedes Klappenorgan stets von allein in eine sichere Verschlußstellung bzw. eine Offenstellung fällt. Auch besonderer Kraftaufwand ist nicht erforderlich, da entsprechende Betätigungskräfte gegebenenfalls vom im Schwerpunkt des Plattenorgans angreifenden Eigengewicht unterstützt werden.The actuation of the valve organs for the purpose of opening or closing the goods compartments is easy and quick to carry out in the sales counter according to the invention. It is advantageous that the operator must not take any special care, since each flap organ always falls by itself in a secure closure position or an open position. Also, special effort is not required, since appropriate actuation forces are optionally supported by acting in the center of gravity of the plate member own weight.
