Description

Secteur de la technique de l'invention.Sector of the technique of the invention.

La présente invention fait référence a un dispositif pour élever les paniers de courses, jusqu'à une hauteur de décharge ergonomique, quand nous nous approchons avec eux des terminaux de paiement ou lignes de caisse des supermarchés.The present invention refers to a device for raising shopping baskets, up to an ergonomic discharge height, when we approach with them the payment terminals or cash lines of supermarkets.

Antécédents de l'invention.Antecedents of the invention.

Actuellement, parmi les dispositifs o systèmes de manutention employés dans les grandes et moyennes surfaces nous nous apercevons qu'ils sont tous orientés uniquement à la charge et décharge des différentes marchandises depuis les entrepôts ou camions jusqu'aux étagères des points de consommation.Currently, among the devices o handling systems used in large and medium-sized surfaces we realize that they are all oriented only to the loading and unloading of the various goods from the warehouses or trucks to the shelves of points of consumption.

Le mouvement d'achat, en ce qui concerne les clients, dans l'établissement se fait en employant de grands chariots à roues, des paniers avec des roulettes ou bien en employant son propre chariot en toile. Dans les dernières années, nous avons vu comme les paniers des courses ont évolué petit à petit dans leur dessin, en passant de disposer uniquement des anses, à incorporer des roulettes, pour éviter que le client n'ait à charger les courses, et au fur et à mesure qu'on leur a ajouté des roulettes et qu'on a perfectionné leur dessin, on a augmenté considérablement leur taille ou capacité. De nos jours, ces paniers nous permettent de faire et transporter sans effort un volume de courses considérable. Par contre, quand le client arrive au terminal de paiement, avec son panier ou son chariot particulier remplis complètement, il n'existe aucun dispositif qui lui permette de les vider de façon confortable en évitant qu'il soit obligé de se pencher de façon répétée jusqu'à qu'ils soient entièrement vides.The buying movement for customers in the establishment is done by using large wheeled carts, baskets with wheels or using his own canvas trolley. In recent years, we have seen how shopping baskets have evolved little by little in their design, passing from having only the handles, to incorporate wheels, to avoid that the customer has to load the races, and to As more wheels were added and their design perfected, their size or capacity was greatly increased. Nowadays, these baskets allow us to effortlessly carry and transport a considerable amount of shopping. On the other hand, when the customer arrives at the payment terminal, with his particular basket or trolley completely filled, there is no device that allows him to empty them in a comfortable way, avoiding that he has to bend repeatedly. until they are completely empty.

Il existe des inventions registrées, mais elles n'ont pas été réalisées, comme la ES349160_A1 , la ES 2171083_T3 o la US 4373611 qui proposent des dessins spécifiques de grands chariots métalliques des courses orientés à faciliter leur décharge. Il existe aussi d'autres inventions comme la US 3196984 , US2943707 qui proposent un piston encastré dans le sol et un mécanisme de bielle-manivelle respectivement orientés également à soulever les chariots métalliques des courses pour faciliter leur décharge. L'invention US8037970 décrit en détail un complexe terminal électronique de paiement en supermarché avec la possibilité d'élever les anciens paniers à anses qui existaient dans les supermarchés il y a des années, depuis une hauteur intermédiaire jusqu'à la hauteur de décharge. Toutes les inventions citées sont orientées vers les chariots métalliques avec roues, en proposant des dispositifs difficilement intégrables dans les linéaires de caisse existants actuellement dans les supermarchés, par le dimensionnement, l'espace et l'investissement qu'elles représentaient et elles ont été registrées avant que l'actuel panier à roulettes ne soit commercialisé dans les supermarchés. Il n'existe pas, par contre, d'inventions connues facilement intégrables dans les linéaires des caisses actuelles et destinées à faciliter le déchargement des paniers à roulettes ou des chariots en toile individuels, en élevant depuis le sol jusqu'à une hauteur ergonomique de décharge.There are registered inventions, but they have not been realized, as the ES349160_A1 , the ES 2171083_T3 o the US 4373611 which propose specific drawings of large metal trolleys of races oriented to facilitate their discharge. There are also other inventions like US 3196984 , US2943707 which offer a recessed piston in the ground and a crank mechanism respectively directed also to lift the metal trolleys of the races to facilitate their discharge. The invention US8037970 describes in detail a supermarket electronic payment terminal complex with the possibility of raising old loop baskets that existed in supermarkets years ago, from an intermediate height to the discharge height. All the inventions mentioned are directed towards metal trolleys with wheels, proposing devices that are difficult to integrate into the existing shelves of banks currently in supermarkets, by the dimensioning, the space and the investment they represented and have been registered before the current basket on wheels is marketed in supermarkets. On the other hand, there are no known, easily integrable inventions in the current crate aisles, designed to facilitate the unloading of individual roll baskets or canvas trolleys, from the ground up to an ergonomic height of discharge.

Nous pouvons observer tous les jours dans les supermarchés les clients, et en particulier les personnes âgées ou les femmes enceinte, se baissant continuellement pour vider leur panier ou faisant des efforts pour le soulever à bout de bras et le placer sur la table du terminal de paiement.We can observe in the supermarkets every day the customers, especially the elderly or the pregnant women, steadily bending down to empty their basket or making efforts to raise it at arm's length and place it on the table of the terminal of payment.

Objet de l'invention.Object of the invention

C'est pourquoi, il serait souhaitable de disposer d'un dispositif facilitant le vidage ou la décharge des paniers ou chariots de toile dans les linéaires de caisse, en les soulevant depuis le sol jusqu'à une hauteur ergonomique, en évitant ainsi aux personnes les efforts du dos superflus et les surcharges.Therefore, it would be desirable to have a device facilitating the emptying or unloading of the baskets or carriages of linen in the cashline, lifting them from the ground to an ergonomic height, thus avoiding people unnecessary back efforts and overloads.

L'invention apporte une solution au problème précédemment décrit, proposant un système pour l'élévation des paniers avec roulettes, chariots en toile ou n'importe quel autre dispositif similaire, qui s'intègre à coté, sous ou même dans le mobilier des terminaux de paiement ou linéaires de caisse des grandes et moyennes surfaces.The invention provides a solution to the problem described above, proposing a system for the elevation of baskets with wheels, trolleys in canvas or any other similar device, which fits side, under or even in the furniture terminals of payment or linear cash of large and medium surfaces.
