Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Zurschaustellung oder Aufbewahrung von Gegenständen mit einem vorzugsweise quadratischen oder rechteckigen Grundriß und mit einer vorderen, einer hinteren, einer oberen, einer rechten und einer linken Seitenfläche, einem Sockel oder zusätzlich mit einem Oberteil anstelle der oberen Seitenfläche, wobei sämtliche Seitenflächen oder zumindest ein Teil derselben aus Glasscheiben bestehen, der Innenraum in seinem unteren Bereich mit einer Auflagefläche abschließt und die Vorrichtung gegenüber der Außenluft weitgehend luftdicht abgeschlossen ist.The invention relates to a device for display or storage of objects with a preferably square or rectangular plan and with a front, a rear, an upper, a right and a left side surface, a pedestal or additionally with a top instead of the upper side surface, all Side surfaces or at least a part thereof consist of glass panes, the interior closes in its lower part with a support surface and the device is sealed against the outside air largely airtight.

Der Zugang zum Inneren und insbesondere zur Auflagefläche einer derartigen auch als Vitrine bezeichneten Vorrichtung erfolgt in der Regel durch die Ausbildung einer Seitenwand als schwenkbare Tür. Soll nun der Innenraum einer derartigen Vitrine gegenüber der Umgebung möglichst luftdicht abgeschlossen sein, dann treten Schwierigkeiten auf, wenn die Abdichtung der Tür mittels Dichtlippen erfolgt und zwar besonders im Scharnierbereich der Tür, da an dieser Stelle die Tür während des Schließvorgangs nicht geradlinig auf die Dichtlippe zu bewegt wird. In der EP 0 670 405 A1 wird eine Vitrine beschrieben, bei welcher durch besondere Maßnahmen gegen Ende des Schließvorgangs die Tür senkrecht auf die Dichtlippen in der Türöffnung zu bewegt wird.The access to the interior and in particular to the support surface of such a device, also referred to as a display case, is generally effected by the formation of a side wall as a pivotable door. If now the interior of such a showcase to be sealed against the environment as possible airtight, then difficulties arise when the sealing of the door is done by means of sealing lips, especially in the hinge region of the door, since at this point the door during the closing process is not rectilinear to the sealing lip to be moved. In the EP 0 670 405 A1 a showcase is described in which by special measures toward the end of the closing operation, the door is moved perpendicular to the sealing lips in the door opening.

Eine andere Lösung zum Ermöglichen des Zugangs zum Innenraum einer Vitrine kann auch darin bestehen, daß das gesamte Oberteil in einem Stück von der Auflagefläche abgehoben wird, indem an allen vier Ecken jeweils ein elektromotorischer Spindelantrieb zum Heben und Senken des Oberteils verwendet wird. Eine derartige Vitrine wird beispielsweise in der EP 0 775 459 A1 beschrieben.Another solution for enabling access to the interior of a showcase may also consist in that the entire upper part is lifted in one piece from the support surface by an electromotive spindle drive for lifting and lowering the upper part is used at all four corners. Such a showcase is used for example in the EP 0 775 459 A1 described.

Nachteilig bei den meisten bekannten Vitrinen ist die Reinigung der Innenseiten der Seitenflächen, da in vielen Fällen die zurschaugestellten Gegenstände aus derselben entfernt werden müssen, damit die Innenseite der Seitenflächen frei zugänglich ist. Bei vielen bekannten Vitrinen ist außerdem die Zugänglichkeit zu den Innenseiten der Seitenflächen selbst bei ausgeräumter Vitrine infolge der Konstruktion oder des Aufbaus derselben oftmals stark eingeschränkt.A disadvantage of most known showcases is the cleaning of the inner sides of the side surfaces, since in many cases the objects to be displayed must be removed from the same, so that the inside of the side surfaces is freely accessible. In many well-known showcases also the accessibility to the insides of the side surfaces is often severely limited even with cleared showcase due to the construction or the construction thereof.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht nun darin, eine Vitrine anzugeben, bei welcher weitgehend die Zugänglichkeit zum Innenraum, insbesondere auch zur Reinigung der Innenseiten der Seitenflächen ermöglicht wird und darüber hinaus die angesprochenen Schwierigkeiten bei der Abdichtung der Tür vermieden werden.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a display case, in which largely the accessibility to the interior, in particular also for cleaning the inner sides of the side surfaces is made possible and beyond the mentioned difficulties in the sealing of the door can be avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Vorrichtung aus zwei symmetrischen, vertikal von einander getrennten Hälften besteht, wobei der Sockel und das eventuell vorhandene Oberteil einen Teil der vorderen, hinteren, rechten und linken Seitenflächen bilden, und daß die beiden Hälften horizontal und parallel durch geeignete Mittel voneinander bzw. zueinander bewegbar sind, wobei die Auflagefläche von der Bewegung ausgeschlossen ist.This object is achieved in that the device consists of two symmetrical, vertically separated halves, wherein the base and the possibly existing upper part form part of the front, rear, right and left side surfaces, and that the two halves horizontally and in parallel suitable means are movable from each other or to each other, wherein the support surface is excluded from the movement.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vitrine besitzt keine Tür und wenn die beiden Hälften im geöffneten Zustand der Vitrine genügend weit auseinander stehen, ist der Zugang zum Inneren bzw. zur Auflagefläche freigegeben. Die an den sich berührenden Kanten der beiden Hälften angebrachten Dichtlippen werden infolge der horizontalen und parallelen Bewegung geradlinig beim Schließvorgang aufeinander geführt. Im Gegensatz zu den oftmals aus ästhetischen Gründen rahmenlosen Türen stellen die beiden Hälften eine stabilere Anordnung dar, durch die die erfindungsgemäße Vitrine auch einbruchssicherer wird. Da sich die beiden Hälften voneinander entfernen und die Auflagefläche dagegen ihre Position beibehält, können bei einer Reinigung der Innenseiten der Seitenflächen die zurschaugestellten Gegenstände an ihrem Platz verbleiben, während andererseits diese den Reinigungsvorgang auch nicht behindern.The display cabinet according to the invention has no door and when the two halves are sufficiently far apart in the open state of the showcase, the access to the interior or the support surface is released. The attached to the touching edges of the two halves sealing lips are guided in a straight line during the closing process due to the horizontal and parallel movement. In contrast to the doors, which are often frameless for aesthetic reasons, the two halves represent a more stable arrangement, by means of which the display cabinet according to the invention also becomes more burglar-proof. As the two halves move away from each other and the support surface, on the other hand, retains its position, when cleaning the insides of the side surfaces, the objects to be viewed may remain in place while, on the other hand, they do not impede the cleaning process.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die Trennungslinie zwischen den beiden Hälften in der Diagonale des Grundrisses verläuft. Mit dieser Lösung ist die Trennungslinie zwischen den beiden Hälften nicht sichtbar, da diese im Zuge der Linie verläuft, an der jeweils zwei Seitenflächen unterschiedlicher Hälften horizontal aufeinander stoßen. Optisch gesehen unterscheidet sich dieser Teil der Vitrine im geschlossenen Zustand nicht von der Eckverbindung zweier Seitenflächen einer Hälfte.A development of the invention is that the dividing line between the two halves runs in the diagonal of the floor plan. With this solution, the dividing line between the two halves is not visible, as this runs in the course of the line on which two side surfaces of different halves meet each other horizontally. Seen optically, this part of the showcase does not differ in the closed state from the corner connection of two side surfaces of a half.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert, welches in der Zeichnung dargestellt ist.
Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Vitrine im geschlossenen Zustand,
  • Fig. 2 eine Vitrine im teilweise geöffneten Zustand und
  • Fig. 3 die Draufsicht auf eine vollständig geöffnete Vitrine.
The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment which is shown in the drawing.
It shows:
  • Fig. 1 a showcase in the closed state,
  • Fig. 2 a showcase in the partially opened state and
  • Fig. 3 the top view of a fully opened showcase.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Vitrine weist einen quadratischen oder rechteckigen Grundriß auf, die Erfindung ist jedoch auch bei einer Vitrine mit beispielsweise sechseckigem Grundriß anwendbar. Eine vordere 1, eine hintere 2, eine rechte 3 und eine linke Seitenfläche 4 umschließen den Raum zur Aufnahme von Gegenständen, wobei die Seitenflächen jeweils aus einer durchsichtigen Glasscheibe gebildet werden. Das Unterteil der Vitrine bildet ein Sockel 6, an dessen Oberseite sich eine Auflagefläche 7 befindet. Nach oben kann die Vitrine durch eine, ebenfalls aus einer Glasscheibe bestehenden oberen Seitenfläche 5 abgeschlossen sein. Anstelle der oberen Seitenfläche 5 kann die Vitrine auch ein Oberteil 14 aufweisen, in welchem beispielsweise auch eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung untergebracht sein kann. Mit ihrer Unterseite 13 steht die Vitrine zum Beispiel auf einem Fußboden.In the Fig. 1 showcase shown has a square or rectangular outline, but the invention is also applicable to a showcase with, for example, hexagonal plan. A front 1, a back 2, a right 3 and a left side surface 4 surround the space for receiving objects, wherein the side surfaces are each formed of a transparent glass sheet. The lower part of the showcase forms a base 6, at the top of which a support surface 7 is located. At the top, the display case can be closed by an upper side surface 5, also consisting of a glass pane. Instead of the upper side surface 5, the showcase can also have an upper part 14, in which, for example, a lighting device can be accommodated. With its bottom 13, the showcase is for example on a floor.

Jedes Seitenteil 1 bis 4 bildet zusammen mit dem entsprechenden Teil des Sockels 6 und bei Vorhandensein des Oberteils 14 auch zusammen mit dem entsprechenden Teil des Oberteils 14 für sich eine Einheit. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, daß die genannten Seitenteile 1 bis 4 sich über den Sockel 6 und eventuell auch über das Oberteil 5 erstrecken und jeweils als durchgehende Glasscheibe ausgebildet sind, wobei im Bereich des Sockels 6 und des Oberteils 5 die Glasscheibe durch eine auf der Innenseite angebrachte undurchsichtige Folie gebildet werden. Der Körper der Vitrine wird somit aus den beschriebenen Seitenteilen gebildet, wobei jeweils zwei benachbarte Seitenteile paarweise fest miteinander verbunden sind und dadurch zwei gegenüberliegende Hälften entstehen.Each side part 1 to 4 forms together with the corresponding part of the base 6 and in the presence of the upper part 14 together with the corresponding part of the upper part 14 for a unit. This can for example be done by the said side parts 1 to 4 extend over the base 6 and possibly also on the upper part 5 and are each formed as a continuous glass, wherein in the region of the base 6 and the upper part 5, the glass by a on the Inside attached opaque film are formed. The body of the showcase is thus formed from the described side parts, wherein each two adjacent side parts are connected in pairs firmly together, thereby forming two opposite halves.

Diagonal zum Grundriß der Vitrine verläuft eine Trennungslinie 15, welche die gesamte Vitrine in zwei symmetrische Hälften trennt. Gemäß Fig. 2 besteht die Vitrine aus einer ersten Hälfte 8 und einer zweiten Hälfte 9, die beide senkrecht voneinander getrennt sind. Dabei verläuft die Trennungslinie 15 auf der Stoßkante, an der zwei Seitenflächen unterschiedlicher Hälften 8 und 9 aneinander stoßen. Es ist auch denkbar, die Trennungslinie mittig durch den quadratischen oder rechteckigen Grundriß verlaufen zu lassen, aber in diesem Fall verläuft die Trennungslinie senkrecht in der Mitte zweier Seitenflächen und wäre im geschlossenen Zustand der Vitrine sichtbar, während bei der diagonalen Trennungslinie dieselbe mit der Stoßkante zweier Seitenflächen unterschiedlicher Hälften zusammenfällt und damit nicht auffälliger ist als die Stoßkante zweier Seitenflächen der gleichen Hälfte.Diagonal to the plan of the showcase runs a dividing line 15, which separates the entire showcase into two symmetrical halves. According to Fig. 2 the showcase consists of a first half 8 and a second half 9, both of which are vertically separated. In this case, the dividing line 15 extends on the abutting edge, on the two side surfaces of different halves 8 and 9 abut each other. It is also conceivable to let the dividing line run centrally through the square or rectangular plan, but in this case the dividing line runs vertically in the middle of two side faces and would be visible in the closed state of the showcase, while in the diagonal dividing line it would be the same with the abutting edge of two Side surfaces of different halves coincide and thus is not more conspicuous than the abutting edge of two side surfaces of the same half.

Die Unterseite 13 der Vitrine wird durch eine Grundplatte gebildet, an welcher eine Anordnung 12 angebracht ist, an welcher die Auflagefläche 7 befestigt ist. Damit bleibt die Auflagefläche in ihrer Lage unverändert, wenn sich die beiden Hälften 8 und 9 voneinander bewegen. Der Zwischenraum zwischen Auflagefläche 7 und Grundplatte wird im geschlossenen Zustand der Vitrine durch den Sockel 6 verdeckt. Die Anordnung 12 dient auch zur Befestigung der Führung 10 und eventuell 11, welche die horizontale Bewegung der beiden Hälften 8 und 9 ermöglicht. Die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Führung 10 ist paarweise zwischen der Auflagefläche 7 und der Grundplatte an der Anordnung 12 fest angebracht, wodurch eine parallele Bewegung der beiden Hälften 8 und 9 voneinander bzw. zueinander erreicht wird. Die andere Führung 11 ist ebenfalls paarweise vorhanden und entweder im Oberteil 14 oder bei Nichtvorhandensein des Oberteils 14 ebenfalls im Sockel 6 und zwar oberhalb der Führung 10 an der Anordnung 12 und parallel zu dieser befestigt. Die Führungen 10 und 11 sind parallel zur Unterseite 13 und im Winkel von 90 Grad zur Trennungslinie 15 ausgerichtet. Das gesamte Gewicht beider Hälften 8 und 9 lastet auf den Führungen 10 und 11. Bei Vitrinen mit großen Abmessungen und damit auch großen Gewichten kann es zweckmäßig sein, die beiden Hälften 8 und 9 mit Rollen an ihrer Unterseite 13 zu versehen, um die Führungen 10 und 11 gewichtsmäßig zu entlasten.The underside 13 of the showcase is formed by a base plate to which an assembly 12 is attached, on which the support surface 7 is fixed. Thus, the support surface remains unchanged in position, when the two halves 8 and 9 move from each other. The space between the support surface 7 and the base plate is covered by the base 6 in the closed state of the showcase. The assembly 12 also serves to fasten the guide 10 and possibly 11, which allows the horizontal movement of the two halves 8 and 9. In the Fig. 2 shown guide 10 is mounted in pairs between the support surface 7 and the base plate to the assembly 12, whereby a parallel movement of the two halves 8 and 9 from each other or each other is achieved. The other guide 11 is also present in pairs and either in the upper part 14 or in the absence of the upper part 14 also in the base 6 and above the guide 10 to the assembly 12 and secured parallel thereto. The guides 10 and 11 are aligned parallel to the bottom 13 and at an angle of 90 degrees to the dividing line 15. The entire weight of both halves 8 and 9 rests on the guides 10 and 11. In showcases with large dimensions and thus large weights, it may be appropriate to provide the two halves 8 and 9 with rollers on its underside 13 to the guides 10th and 11 to relieve weight.

Die Führungen 10 und 11 bestehen jeweils aus einem festen und einem beweglichen Teil, wobei der feste Teil fest mit der Anordnung 12 und der bewegliche Teil mit einer Hälfte 8 oder 9 verbunden ist. Der bewegliche Teil ist im festen Teil verschiebbar gelagert, wodurch eine Bewegung einer Hälfte 8 bzw. 9 ermöglicht wird. Es werden somit mindestens 4 Führungen benötigt, wenn der feste Teil eine Länge aufweist, die eine weitgehende Öffnung zwischen den beiden Hälften 8 und 9 erlaubt, wobei der feste Teil von den beweglichen Teilen zweier Hälften gemeinsam benutzt wird. Der feste Teil kann auch eine teleskopartige Verlängerung aufweisen, die erst ausgefahren wird, wenn der bewegliche Teil an das Ende des festen Teils anstößt. Wird der feste Teil gemeinsam von zwei beweglichen Teilen benutzt, dann ist an beiden Enden eine derartige teleskopartige Verlängerung vorzusehen. Der feste Teil der Führungen 10 und 11 kann beispielsweise U-förmig ausgebildet sein, wobei dieser eine Vielzahl von drehbaren miteinander verbundenen Rollen aufweisenden beweglichen Teil aufnimmt. Es sind jedoch auch andere Führungen denkbar, bei welchen anstelle von Rollen auch Kugeln die Gleitbewegung des beweglichen Teils im festen Teil einer Führung 10 und 11 ermöglichen.The guides 10 and 11 each consist of a fixed and a movable part, wherein the fixed part is fixedly connected to the assembly 12 and the movable part with a half 8 or 9. The movable part is slidably mounted in the fixed part, whereby a movement of a half 8 or 9 is made possible. Thus, at least 4 guides are needed when the fixed part has a length allowing a substantial opening between the two halves 8 and 9, the fixed part being shared by the moving parts of two halves. The fixed part may also have a telescopic extension, which is extended only when the movable part abuts the end of the fixed part. If the fixed part is shared by two moving parts, then such a telescopic extension should be provided at both ends. The fixed part of the guides 10 and 11 may be formed, for example, U-shaped, which receives a plurality of rotatable interconnected rollers having movable part. However, other guides are conceivable in which instead of rollers and balls allow the sliding movement of the movable part in the fixed part of a guide 10 and 11.

Am festen Teil der Führungen 10 und 11 kann ein Elektromotor befestigt sein, welche eine Gewindespindel antreibt, auf der sich eine Gewindehülse befindet, die mit einer Hälfte 8 bzw. 9 fest verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise kann durch den Elektromotor eine Schub- und Zugbewegung erreicht werden, welche das Auseinanderziehen bzw. das Zusammenschieben der beiden Hälften 8 und 9 zur Folge hat. Es ist auch denkbar, für ein Führungspaar 10 bzw. 11 jeweils nur einen Elektromotor vorzusehen, wobei dieser eine Gewindespindel antreibt, deren eine Hälfte mit einem normalen Gewinde und deren andere Hälfte mit einem gegenläufigen Gewinde versehen ist, wodurch die gleichzeitige Bewegung der beiden Hälften 8 und 9 nach außen bzw. nach innen ermöglicht wird. Die Gewindespindel müßte in diesem Fall im Verlauf der Verbindungslinie zwischen den Ecken der beiden Hälften 8 und 9 an der Anordnung 12 bzw. im Oberteil 14 also im Winkel von 90 Grad zur Trennungslinie 15 angebracht werden. Voraussetzung für die gleichmäßige Bewegung der beiden Hälften 8 und 9 ist der unbedingte Gleichlauf sämtlicher Elektromotoren. Dieser wird durch die Steuerung derselben mittels einer elektronischen Steuereinrichtung erreicht, mit welcher die Elektromotoren elektrisch verbunden sind. Ebenfalls an der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung sind Sensoren angeschlossen, welche den Schließzustand und den Endzustand der Öffnung zwischen beiden Hälften 8 und 9 signalisieren, wodurch die elektronische Steuereinrichtung veranlaßt wird, den Lauf der Elektromotoren zu beenden. Es ist auch denkbar, mittels einer Fernbedienung den Vorgang des Öffnens und Schließens der Vitrine drahtlos in der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung zu veranlassen.On the fixed part of the guides 10 and 11, an electric motor can be attached, which drives a threaded spindle, on which there is a threaded sleeve, which is fixedly connected to one half 8 and 9, respectively. In this way, a push and pull movement can be achieved by the electric motor, which has the pulling apart and the pushing together of the two halves 8 and 9 result. It is also conceivable to provide for a pair of guide 10 and 11 only one electric motor, wherein this drives a threaded spindle, one half of which is provided with a normal thread and the other half with a counter-rotating thread, whereby the simultaneous movement of the two halves. 8 and 9 is allowed outwards or inwards. The threaded spindle would in this case in the course of the connecting line between the corners of the two halves 8 and 9 on the assembly 12 and in the upper part 14 so at an angle of 90 degrees to the dividing line 15 are attached. Condition for the uniform movement of the two halves 8 and 9 is the unconditional synchronization of all electric motors. This is achieved by the control of the same by means of an electronic control device, with which the electric motors are electrically connected. Also connected to the electronic control means are sensors which signal the closing state and the final state of the opening between both halves 8 and 9, thereby causing the electronic control means to stop the running of the electric motors. It is also conceivable, by means of a remote control to initiate the process of opening and closing the display case wirelessly in the electronic control device.

Je nach Größe der Vitrine kann es auch notwendig sein, anstelle der vier Führungen 10 und 11 auch weitere derartige Führungen einzusetzen.Depending on the size of the display case, it may also be necessary to use other such guides instead of the four guides 10 and 11.

In Fig. 3 wird eine erfindungsgemäße Vitrine in der Endlage des geöffneten Zustandes gezeigt. Dabei wird davon ausgegangen, daß diese eine durchsichtige obere Seitenfläche aufweist 5 aufweist. Die beiden Hälften 8 und 9 sind soweit voneinander entfernt, daß der Zugang zur Auflagefläche 7 freigegeben ist, außerdem ist der Abstand der beiden Hälften 8 und 9 auch ausreichend, daß deren Innenseiten zur Reinigung frei zugänglich sind, wobei die auf der Auflagefläche 7 befindlichen Gegenstände die Reinigung nicht behindern.In Fig. 3 a showcase according to the invention is shown in the end position of the opened state. It is assumed that this has a transparent upper side surface 5 has. The two halves 8 and 9 are so far away from each other that the access to the support surface 7 is released, also the distance between the two halves 8 and 9 is also sufficient that the insides are freely accessible for cleaning, with the objects located on the support surface 7 do not interfere with the cleaning.

Es ist auch denkbar, die beiden Hälften 8 und 9 nicht fest sondern jeweils horizontal drehbar an dem beweglichen Teil der Führungen 10 und 11 anzubringen. Dadurch wird es möglich, in der einen Führung das Auseinanderschieben der beiden Hälften vorzeitig zu beenden, während das Auseinanderschieben der beiden Hälften in der gegenüberliegenden Führung bis zur Endlage fortgesetzt wird. Auf diese Weise wird die Öffnung zwischen beiden Hälften 8 und 9 auf dieser Seite vergrößert, wobei die gegenüberliegende Öffnung nur soweit geöffnet wird, daß die beiden Hälften 8 und 9 sich nicht berühren. Durch diese Ausbildung der Vitrine, für die für den unterschiedliche Lauf der Motoren in der Steuereinrichtung entsprechende Maßnahmen zu treffen sind, kann u.U. auf die teleskopartige Verlängerung der Führungen 10, 11 verzichtet werden.It is also conceivable that the two halves 8 and 9 not fixed but each horizontally mounted to rotate on the movable part of the guides 10 and 11. This makes it possible, in the one guide Pushing apart of the two halves to end prematurely, while the sliding apart of the two halves in the opposite guide is continued to the end position. In this way, the opening between the two halves 8 and 9 is increased on this page, the opposite opening is only opened so far that the two halves 8 and 9 do not touch. By virtue of this design of the showcase, for which appropriate measures are to be taken for the different running of the motors in the control device, the telescopic extension of the guides 10, 11 may possibly be dispensed with.

Im Bereich der Trennungslinie 15 sind an der einen der beiden Hälften 8 oder 9 Dichtlippen angebracht.In the region of the dividing line 15, 8 or 9 sealing lips are attached to one of the two halves.
