Definitions
- the present invention is related to a device for the purposes of displaying and distributing products.
- the state of the art comprises a display device comprising a lower and upper shaft, and a centrally placed product holder, in connection with the upper shaft.
- the upper shaft can be filled with products in 'bulk' fashion, so that a number of products become available in the product holder. People can then take out products from the holder, which remains filled as long as products are present in the upper shaft.
- This type of presentation and distribution device is known today in the form of a non-modular or semi-modular device.
- only the top shaft can be taken off, resulting in two large parts which are difficult to move and transport.
- the present invention aims to provide a presentation and distribution device similar to the one known and described above, but which is more easily transportable.
- the invention relates to a device such as described in the appended claims.
- Fig. 1 represents a view of an assembled device according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 represents a view of the basis of the device of the invention.
- Fig. 3 represents a view of the profile used in the device of the invention.
- Fig. 4 represents a view of the product holder of the device of the invention.
- Fig. 5 represents a view of another embodiment of the product holder.
- Fig. 6 represents a view of the top ring used in a device of the invention.
- Fig. 7 represents a detailed view of the plugs according to the invention.
- Fig. 8 illustrates the connection of a sleeve to the profiles.
- the present invention is related to a presentation and distribution device such as shown in figure 1.
- the device comprises a circular basis 1, upon which a lower shaft 2 is placed.
- the product holder 3 is placed, which itself supports the upper shaft 4.
- the holder 3 has an inner circular base of essentially the same diameter as the lower shaft and an outer circular base of a larger diameter and at a higher level, so as to form a plate-like receptacle.
- the upper shaft 4 is placed on top of the inner base of the product holder 3, and has a diameter which is essentially the same as the diameter of the lower shaft.
- This upper shaft is also equipped with a circumferential and preferably transparent sleeve 5, which does not reach the bottom of the product holder 3, so that an open space 6 is left between the lower edge of the sleeve 5 and the bottom of the product holder.
- This type of presentation device is designed for showing and distributing small products, for example candies, lipsticks, gloves, and the like, mostly in commercial areas. The size of the products is such that when the upper shaft is filled in 'bulk' fashion with these products, a number of products will spill over into the product holder through the open space 6. People can then retrieve products from the holder.
- the upper shaft is closed off at the top by a closing ring 7, and a lid (not visible).
- the device as shown in figure 1 is known today. It is however large and difficult to transport.
- the device of the invention when assembled, looks like the device of figure 1. It consists however of a larger number of subparts.
- the basis, the product holder and the top ring are equipped with plugs, onto which longitudinal profiles 8 can be attached, for assembling the lower and upper shaft, and thus the device in its entirety. In this way, the device is fully modular, and can be transported in an easy way.
- Figure 2 shows the basis 1, which comprises a large circular base 10, and a smaller circular base 11. When assembled, the basis will rest on the ground by its large circular base 10. Rising up from the smaller circular base, is a cylindrical portion 12, which is equipped on the inside with a number of plugs 13. The shape of these plugs 13 is shown in more detail in figure 7 and will be discussed further in the description. Longitudinal profiles 8 of which the section is shown in figure 3, are placed onto the plugs 13 to form vertical columns, onto which the product holder can be placed.
- the lower shaft is surrounded by a sleeve 9 (fig. 1), which is attached to one of the profiles 8, in a manner described further in the description.
- the product holder 3, shown in figure 4 is shaped in a way similar to the basis. It also has a larger base 14 and a smaller base 15, a cylindrical portion 16 rising up from the smaller base, said portion being equipped with a series of plugs 13, for attaching the product holder to the vertical profiles attached to the basis 1.
- Two levels of plugs 13, said levels being separated by a the bottom plate 18, are present on portions 16a and 16b of the cylindrical portion 16. This allows for profiles 8 to be attached easily on both sides of the product holder.
- These two levels of plugs are also present in the basis shown in figure 2, even though for this basis only one level is strictly necessary.
- gutters 17 run over the bottom of the holder towards the centre point. These gutters allows to install partitioning walls in the upper shaft, so as to obtain different compartments for distribution, within one device, of different kinds of products. It is preferred that a plug 13 is present at the end of every gutter 17, which is related to the specific shape of the plugs and the profiles, explained further.
- Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the product holder, having a second series of plugs 13 around the circumference of its larger base 14. This second series allows for the upper shaft to be larger in diameter.
- the product holder 3 is placed onto the vertical profiles 8 so as to form a plate-like receptacle.
- a second series of profiles 8 is then connected to the inner base of the product holder 3 (or to the outer base in the case of figure 5), and rising upwards from the holder to form the upper shaft 4.
- a first series of short profiles 20 is mounted on the product holder, and a ring 21 is placed onto said short profiles, after which longer profiles 8 are placed onto said ring, said ring being equipped with two levels of plugs 13 for this purpose. This is an easy way to obtain the open space 6.
- the upper ring 7 (fig. 6) has a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the product holder's inner base (or outer base in the case of fig. 5), and is equally equipped with plugs 13 around its circumference.
- the intermediate ring 21 is preferably identical to the one shown in figure 6. In fact, the top ring theoretically doesn't need two levels of plugs 13 as shown in figure 6, whereas the intermediate ring does need these two levels, since profiles need to be attached to it on both sides.
- the profiles rising upwards from the holder's inner base or from the intermediate ring 21, are then connected to the plugs of the top ring 7 to form the upper shaft.
- the upper shaft, above the open space 6, is surrounded by a sleeve 5, which is preferably transparent, to allow the products in the upper shaft to be seen from the outside. The connection between the sleeve 5 and the profiles 8 is explained hereafter.
- the plugs consist of two symmetrical parts 25 and 26, each part comprising a first and second straight rib 27 and 28, at an acute angle to each other, and a rib 29, preferably curved in shape.
- a rib 29 preferably curved in shape.
- the plugs are surrounded on the inside by a wall 40, running around the circumference of the holder/basis/ring, and which is interrupted by a gap 41 right before every plug 13. This gap allows to support partitioning walls, when installed.
- the cross section of the profile 8 (figure 3) is equally symmetrical with respect to a central rib 31.
- a slanted rib 32 is present, at an acute angle with respect to the central rib, as well as another rib 34, at an angle perpendicular or essentially perpendicular to the central rib 31.
- a third rib 33 is between ribs 32 and 34.
- the ribs 32 and 34 extend over a given distance beyond their connection point with rib 33, so that a half-open space 37 is formed between the three ribs.
- the inside of the profile 8 corresponds to the outer circumference of the plugs 13, so that the profiles can be slid over the plugs. The respective dimensions should be such that a sufficiently tight connection is obtained, allowing however easy detachment of the profile from the plug, when the device is taken apart.
- the half-open spaces 37 of the profiles 8 allow to fix to said profiles the sleeve/window 5 and/or 9.
- the edges of the sleeve are slid into the half-open spaces 37, so that a cylindrical shaft is obtained (see figure 8).
- the profile has recesses 35 and 36 (fig. 3).
- the recesses 36 improve the stiffness of the profiles 8.
- the recesses 35, along with the gaps 41 in the wall 40 near the plugs 13 (fig. 7) allow for the support of partitioning walls placed in the gutters 17, said walls being able to be inserted into the recesses 35 and gaps 41. This is why preferably a plug 13 is present at the end of every gutter 17.
- the number of plugs around the circumference can basically be chosen arbitrarily, and as a function of the number of partitioning walls which may have to be installed. When no partitioning walls are installed, it may be sufficient to use three profiles 8 to make the upper shaft.
- the components of the device of the invention are preferably produced in a plastic material, preferably ABS.
- the cross-section of the device of the invention does not necessarily have to be circular.

- The present invention is related to a presentation and distribution device such as shown in figure 1. The device comprises a
circular basis 1, upon which alower shaft 2 is placed. Upon thelower shaft 2, theproduct holder 3 is placed, which itself supports the upper shaft 4. Theholder 3 has an inner circular base of essentially the same diameter as the lower shaft and an outer circular base of a larger diameter and at a higher level, so as to form a plate-like receptacle. The upper shaft 4 is placed on top of the inner base of theproduct holder 3, and has a diameter which is essentially the same as the diameter of the lower shaft. This upper shaft is also equipped with a circumferential and preferablytransparent sleeve 5, which does not reach the bottom of theproduct holder 3, so that anopen space 6 is left between the lower edge of thesleeve 5 and the bottom of the product holder. This type of presentation device is designed for showing and distributing small products, for example candies, lipsticks, gloves, and the like, mostly in commercial areas. The size of the products is such that when the upper shaft is filled in 'bulk' fashion with these products, a number of products will spill over into the product holder through theopen space 6. People can then retrieve products from the holder. The upper shaft is closed off at the top by aclosing ring 7, and a lid (not visible). The device as shown in figure 1 is known today. It is however large and difficult to transport. - The device of the invention, when assembled, looks like the device of figure 1. It consists however of a larger number of subparts. The basis, the product holder and the top ring are equipped with plugs, onto which
longitudinal profiles 8 can be attached, for assembling the lower and upper shaft, and thus the device in its entirety. In this way, the device is fully modular, and can be transported in an easy way. - The drawings show the preferred embodiment of the different components. Figure 2 shows the
basis 1, which comprises a largecircular base 10, and a smallercircular base 11. When assembled, the basis will rest on the ground by its largecircular base 10. Rising up from the smaller circular base, is acylindrical portion 12, which is equipped on the inside with a number ofplugs 13. The shape of theseplugs 13 is shown in more detail in figure 7 and will be discussed further in the description.Longitudinal profiles 8 of which the section is shown in figure 3, are placed onto theplugs 13 to form vertical columns, onto which the product holder can be placed. - According to the preferred embodiment, the lower shaft is surrounded by a sleeve 9 (fig. 1), which is attached to one of the
profiles 8, in a manner described further in the description. - The
product holder 3, shown in figure 4 is shaped in a way similar to the basis. It also has alarger base 14 and asmaller base 15, acylindrical portion 16 rising up from the smaller base, said portion being equipped with a series ofplugs 13, for attaching the product holder to the vertical profiles attached to thebasis 1. Two levels ofplugs 13, said levels being separated by a thebottom plate 18, are present onportions cylindrical portion 16. This allows forprofiles 8 to be attached easily on both sides of the product holder. These two levels of plugs are also present in the basis shown in figure 2, even though for this basis only one level is strictly necessary. - Starting from the plugs on the inner base, and perpendicular to the inner base's circumference,
straight gutters 17 run over the bottom of the holder towards the centre point. These gutters allows to install partitioning walls in the upper shaft, so as to obtain different compartments for distribution, within one device, of different kinds of products. It is preferred that aplug 13 is present at the end of everygutter 17, which is related to the specific shape of the plugs and the profiles, explained further. - Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the product holder, having a second series of
plugs 13 around the circumference of itslarger base 14. This second series allows for the upper shaft to be larger in diameter. - The
product holder 3 is placed onto thevertical profiles 8 so as to form a plate-like receptacle. The profiles between the basis and the holder, preferably equipped with thesleeve 9, now form thelower shaft 2. - A second series of
profiles 8 is then connected to the inner base of the product holder 3 (or to the outer base in the case of figure 5), and rising upwards from the holder to form the upper shaft 4. According to a preferred embodiment (see fig. 1), a first series ofshort profiles 20 is mounted on the product holder, and aring 21 is placed onto said short profiles, after whichlonger profiles 8 are placed onto said ring, said ring being equipped with two levels ofplugs 13 for this purpose. This is an easy way to obtain theopen space 6. - The upper ring 7 (fig. 6) has a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the product holder's inner base (or outer base in the case of fig. 5), and is equally equipped with
plugs 13 around its circumference. Theintermediate ring 21 is preferably identical to the one shown in figure 6. In fact, the top ring theoretically doesn't need two levels ofplugs 13 as shown in figure 6, whereas the intermediate ring does need these two levels, since profiles need to be attached to it on both sides. The profiles rising upwards from the holder's inner base or from theintermediate ring 21, are then connected to the plugs of thetop ring 7 to form the upper shaft. The upper shaft, above theopen space 6, is surrounded by asleeve 5, which is preferably transparent, to allow the products in the upper shaft to be seen from the outside. The connection between thesleeve 5 and theprofiles 8 is explained hereafter. - The invention is equally related to the specific shape of the
profiles 8 and theplugs 13. As shown in figure 7, which shows detail C of figure 2, the plugs consist of twosymmetrical parts straight rib rib 29, preferably curved in shape. At the end of thethird rib 29 is anotherstraight rib 30, more or less parallel torib 28. The plugs are surrounded on the inside by awall 40, running around the circumference of the holder/basis/ring, and which is interrupted by agap 41 right before everyplug 13. This gap allows to support partitioning walls, when installed. - The cross section of the profile 8 (figure 3) is equally symmetrical with respect to a
central rib 31. On each side of the rib, aslanted rib 32 is present, at an acute angle with respect to the central rib, as well as anotherrib 34, at an angle perpendicular or essentially perpendicular to thecentral rib 31. Betweenribs third rib 33, preferably curved in shape. Theribs rib 33, so that a half-open space 37 is formed between the three ribs. The inside of theprofile 8 corresponds to the outer circumference of theplugs 13, so that the profiles can be slid over the plugs. The respective dimensions should be such that a sufficiently tight connection is obtained, allowing however easy detachment of the profile from the plug, when the device is taken apart. - The half-
open spaces 37 of theprofiles 8 allow to fix to said profiles the sleeve/window 5 and/or 9. For this purpose, the edges of the sleeve are slid into the half-open spaces 37, so that a cylindrical shaft is obtained (see figure 8). - At both ends of the
central rib 31, the profile hasrecesses 35 and 36 (fig. 3). Therecesses 36 improve the stiffness of theprofiles 8. Therecesses 35, along with thegaps 41 in thewall 40 near the plugs 13 (fig. 7) allow for the support of partitioning walls placed in thegutters 17, said walls being able to be inserted into therecesses 35 andgaps 41. This is why preferably aplug 13 is present at the end of everygutter 17. As seen in figures 4 and 5, the number of plugs around the circumference can basically be chosen arbitrarily, and as a function of the number of partitioning walls which may have to be installed. When no partitioning walls are installed, it may be sufficient to use threeprofiles 8 to make the upper shaft. - The components of the device of the invention are preferably produced in a plastic material, preferably ABS. The cross-section of the device of the invention does not necessarily have to be circular.
