Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for presenting products, which device comprises a frame and at least one shelf for supporting products, which is fitted thereto.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device of the kind referred to in the introduction, wherein the above problem has been eliminated in an efficient manner.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the shelf can be disposed at an angle to slope down from the rear to the front, whilst the shelf comprises means for reducing the coefficient of friction of the upper surface thereof.
  • the shelf not only occupies a sloping position, but also comprises means for reducing the coefficient of friction thereof, many types of products will easily slide to the front, without there being a need to dispose the shelf at an unnecessarily large angle, with the attendant risk of the products being damaged.
  • said means for reducing the coefficient of friction consist of a coating having a low coefficient of friction.
  • Said low coefficient of friction may for example be achieved by adding a friction-reducing agent to a powder coating.
  • a special coating having a low coefficient of friction may be applied.
  • the shelf is preferably adjustable between a horizontal position and a downwardly sloping position, as a result of which the shelf can also be used for products which need not be presented in a sloping position.
  • a shelf plank of the shelf is extendably supported and adjustable between a front, extended stocking position, and a rear, retracted user position.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention, which is filled with products.
  • Fig. 2 is a larger-scale, cross-sectional view of the device of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a device for presenting products, in this case consisting of beer packs. Crates of beer A are stacked on the lower shelves 1, whilst beer bottles contained in so-called six-packs B are present on a number of shelves 2 disposed thereabove. Said shelves 2 constitute the subject matter of the present invention.
  • the device comprises a rear gondola 3, which is connected to front posts 5 by means of connecting elements 4.
  • the use of rear gondolas and front posts makes it possible to dispose the device as an independent unit, independently of a possible rear wall. In this way the device is capable of supporting products having a relatively large weight in a simple and safe manner.
  • Both gondolas 3 and front posts 5 are provided with vertical rows of holes, into which mounting elements of shelves 2 can be hooked at desired levels.
  • Fig. 2 shows three shelves 2, which are inserted into the holes (not shown) present in posts 5 and gondola's 3 by means of hooks 6 or the like, and which are thus supported in the correct position.
  • shelves 2 are supported in such a manner that they slope downwards from the rear to the front at a small angle, which angle may vary between 5 - 15°, for example, and which is preferably 10 - 11°. It is also possible, however, to place shelves 2 in a horizontal position.
  • said shelves are fitted with a fixed support 7 and with a shelf plank 8 which is movably supported by support 7, which shelf plank can move between a rear, retracted position (the upper two shelves in Fig. 2) and a front, extended stocking position, (lowermost shelf in Fig. 2). In this extended stocking position it is very simple for shop staff to place new products behind the products that are already present on shelf plank 8.
  • shelf plank 8 In the user position, shelf plank 8 is locked in position by means of locking elements disposed to the left and to the right of the shelf, which can only be unlocked by operating two rotary handles simultaneously, in order to move shelf plank 8 forward.
  • a built-in protective device ensures that the locking elements will automatically return to the locking position after a number of centimetres if the handles are not consciously held.
  • a compensation spring is provided for taking up part of the weight of shelf plank 8 and the products present thereon after the shelf plank has been unlocked.
  • a locking pawl 9 ensures that shelf 2 cannot tilt forward in the extended position of shelf plank 8, because said pawl engages in gondola 3, thus protecting the rear side of shelf 2 against being moved in upward direction.
  • shelf plank 8 of shelf 2 comprises a front wall 10 made up of wire, against which the front products present on shelf 2, the six-packs in this case, will be supported.
  • the shelf planks 8 are made of a metal, and they are provided with a powder coating, whereby at least the powder coating present on the upper surface of each shelf plank 8 contains an additive, which functions to provide the upper surface of shelf plank 8 with a low coefficient of friction.
  • the main advantage of this is that the most widely varying products, also light products or products that do not slide easily, will slide forward upon removal of a front product of a number of products placed one behind the other in a row.
  • the device as a whole has a neat and orderly appearance, and a consumer does not have to reach to the rear, whilst also re-stocking on the rear side will be easier if the products are positioned as far to the front as possible.
  • the so-called mirroring of shelves (moving products to the front) is no longer necessary.
  • the smooth upper surface of the shelf planks 8 eliminates the need to dispose shelves 2 at a larger angle, so that little space is lost and the risk that products which slide to the front too quickly will be damaged is minimized.
  • shelf planks 8 may also be given a low coefficient of friction in a different manner, for example by means of teflon®,whereby shelf planks 8 may also be made of another material, such as plastic. Shelves 2 may be subdivided into compartments so as to further enhance the impression of an orderly presentation of products.
