Definitions

  • the present invention essentially relates to a device for presentation and distribution of any objects, such as for example containers and lids for these containers.
  • the present invention aims to fill this gap by providing a presentation and distribution device which meets the above objectives.
  • the invention relates to a device for the presentation and distribution of any objects such as for example containers or lids and of the type comprising a receptacle in which can be held stacked objects and from where they can be extracted one by one, characterized in that said receptacle is mounted fitted on the upper part of a support so as to leave between the lower part of the receptacle and the lower part of the support a free space providing access to the objects to extract them from the receptacle.
  • the receptacle is advantageously mounted removable and sliding on the upper part of the support.
  • the receptacle has the form of a housing without bottom or cover and one of the walls of which has a slot, while the support has the general shape of a U, the open part of which mounted position of the housing on the support, is located on the same side as the aforementioned slot.
  • stops or the like are provided on the external faces of the receptacle or on the internal faces of the support to retain the receptacle on the support.
  • stops are located substantially in the same horizontal plane to allow the retention of containers by their edges, without preventing the extraction of said containers by forced passage through the frame formed by said stops.
  • the abovementioned stops provided respectively on the external and internal faces of the receptacle belong to a single piece substantially in the form of angle iron with wings folded in opposite directions, which angle iron is inserted between the opposite faces of the receptacle and of the support.
  • These stops can also extend along an inclined plane constituting a slide for lids of containers stacked in the receptacle.
  • the stops in question may extend into the receptacle from a high point to a low point situated at a certain distance from the wall with slot in the receptacle and at the plane defined by the lower part of this receptacle .
  • stops can also form an element independent of the receptacle or case and having the shape of a U whose ends of the branches, constituting the aforementioned low point, each have an extension forming a vertical support of the U in the case.
  • the stops can extend in the receptacle from a low point to a high point located at a certain distance from the wall with slot in the receptacle, and in this case the covers are removed one by one from the receptacle by a slot orthogonal to the aforementioned slot.
  • the device of this invention is further characterized by the temporary assembly of several receptacles and / or several supports by their side walls, using appropriate means, such as for example clips or screws.
  • the receptacles and the supports may advantageously be produced by molding or folding into an appropriate plastic material.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a receptacle and its support in the unassembled position, the receptacle being intended to contain a stack of containers.
  • Figure 2 is an elevational view, along arrow II of Figure 1 of the receptacle in the nested position and retained on the support.
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, but showing a receptacle fitted with stops forming an inclined plane to allow storage and distribution of a stack of container lids.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view and in the unassembled state, of a support, a receptacle for covers and an independent element forming a stop for said covers.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view along line V-V of Figure 4 of the support, the receptacle and the independent element, in the assembled position.
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged view in section illustrating the extraction of the covers from the receptacle of FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • Figure 7 is a view similar to Figure 1, but mounting parts in the form of an angle ensuring the dual function of retaining the receptacle on its support, and retaining the containers in said receptacle.
  • a device for presenting and distributing objects essentially comprises a receptacle 1 in which stacked objects can be retained, such as containers R (FIG. 2) or lids C ( FIG. 6), this receptacle being able to be mounted in a sliding manner and fitted onto the upper part of a support 2.
  • the receptacle 1 is removably mounted on its support 2.
  • the receptacle 1 has the form of an envelope or a four-sided box without bottom or cover.
  • One 3 of the four walls or faces 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the housing 1 has a slot 7 which opens at the top and bottom of the housing and whose role will be explained later.
  • the support 2 of the receptacle or box 1 has the general shape of a U, as can be seen in the figures. And, in the mounted position of the housing 1 on the support 2, the slot 7 is on the same side as the open part 8 of the U.
  • the faces or walls 4, 5, 6 of the receptacle 1 each comprise, according to an exemplary embodiment, an external stop 9 allowing the retaining the receptacle 1 on the support 2, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 5, and so that between the bottom of said receptacle and the bottom of the support, is left a free space providing access to objects to extract them from the receptacle, as will be explained in detail later.
  • This free space is identified at 10 in FIGS. 2 and 5.
  • the stops 9 can be made in any suitable manner and be integral with the walls or faces 4, 5, 6 of the housing 1, or else be attached and fixed to these faces by any suitable means such as for example screwing or gluing.
  • the receptacle or box 1 is also provided with other stops which are internal to the receptacle and which will be described in detail below.
  • stops 11 are all located in the same horizontal plane to allow the retention of containers R by their generally flexible edges B.
  • the stops 11 are provided at the four corners of the receptacle 1 in the lower part thereof, but one could perfectly, without departing from the scope of the invention, provide another arrangement and a shape for these stops other than a triangular shape, provided that they are all in substantially the same horizontal plane.
  • the stops 9 and 11 belong to a single piece 20 having substantially the shape of a angle iron inserted between the opposite faces of the support 2 and of the receptacle 1. More specifically, the part 20 comprises a central part 20a and two wings folded substantially at 90 °, and in opposite directions, relative to the central part 20a, of so that one of the wings, or upper wing forms a stop 9, while the other wing, or lower wing, forms a stop 11.
  • the single piece 20 in the form of angle iron alone ensures double retaining function of the receptacle 1 on its support 2, and retaining the edge B of the containers R in the receptacle 1.
  • the upper wing or stop 9 will bear on the upper edge of the support 2, while the lower part of the receptacle 1 will bear on the lower wing or stop 11, so that the receptacle 1 will be held on its support 2.
  • the lower wing or stop 11 will serve as support for the edge B of the containers R which , as explained above t, can be extracted downwards by forcing through the frame formed by the lower wings or stops 11 belonging respectively to two opposite angles 20, as can be seen in FIG. 7.
  • the internal stops at the receptacle will form an inclined plane constituting in a way a slide for said covers.
  • these stops forming an inclined plane take the form of two parallel or inclined cleats or the like respectively integral with the opposite faces 4 and 6 of the receptacle or case 1.
  • These cleats 12 extend from a high point on the side of the wall 6 to a low point on the side of the front wall 3, leaving a free space for the extraction of the covers, as shown in 13.
  • the battens 12 could be inclined inversely as shown diagrammatically by the dotted lines 14.
  • the battens extend in the receptacle 1 from a low point on the side of the wall 6 to a high point on the side of the front wall 3 with slot 7, it being understood that, in this case, the covers C would be extracted by a slot 7a orthogonal to the slot 7, as will be described later in connection with operation.
  • the inclined stops intended to retain the covers C in the receptacle 1 take the form of an element 15 independent of this receptacle and having substantially the shape of a U which has been shown in 16 the two branches forming inclined stops for the covers, and at 17 the base.
  • the ends of the arms 16 of the U each have an extension 18 forming an angle with the arms 16 so that when the element 15 is inserted into the receptacle 1, the extensions 18 form a vertical support for the element 15, and the branches 16 constitute an inclined plane, it being understood that the base 17 of the U bears on a stop 19 inside the receptacle 1.
  • the extensions 18 are supported on the same plane as that on which the support 2 is supported it being understood that a space or an opening 13 is left at the plane defined by the lower part of the receptacle 1, between the connecting part of the arms 16 and the extensions 18, and the front wall 3 of the receptacle 1. This opening 13 will allow the extraction of the covers C after sliding on the branches 16 of the element 15, as will be seen in more detail in the explanations which follow concerning the operation.
  • containers R can be easily stacked and stored in the housing 1, and this with the help, if necessary, of the slot 7 giving access to the edge B of the containers.
  • the box thus filled can then be conveniently placed on its support 2, as seen in FIG. 2, and the containers R can be extracted one by one by forcing and deformation of the edges B through the frame formed by the stops 11, it being understood that such an operation will be facilitated by the free space 10 left between the lower part of the housing 1 and the plane on which the support 2 rests.
  • covers C and as can be seen in FIG. 6, these can be easily stacked and stored in the case 1, possibly using the slot 7, as explained above for the containers R.
  • the stack of covers rests on the inclined plane formed either by the stops 12 or by the branches 16 of the element 15.
  • the covers C are extracted manually by pulling them one after the other through the space 13 left free between the inclined plane and the front wall 3 of the housing 1 .
  • the covers C due to the storage in an inclined position of the covers C, they will have no natural tendency to fit together which would be the case with a horizontal stack of covers. In other words, the covers can easily be removed one by one from the housing 1. Also, the dimensions of the opening 13 will depend on the type of covers C.
  • the presentation and distribution assemblies which have just been described can be assembled by their side walls for example using any suitable means, such as for example clips or screws.
  • any suitable means such as for example clips or screws.
  • several receptacles 1 and / or several supports 2 can be easily assembled, and this in a removable manner, depending for example on the number of receptacles and lids to be handled or on the work station where these receptacles and lids are used.
  • the material of the receptacle and of its support can be any, as well as the shape, the material and the method of fixing the stops which are integral or not with the receptacle.
