Abstract

Spice storage and supply installation made as a longish vertical unit (16) with at least two hollow spaces (18, 20) extending in parallel at a distance from each other which are accessible from outside by a vertical slot (22) in which a large number of individual spice containers (24) are arranged in columns above each other. These containers can be withdrawn from the hollow chambers through the slots. There is a horizontal base plate with means (12, 14) to rotate the storage unit on the base plate (10). The containers can be arranged in a cross shape array as seen from above.

Description

       

  
 



   Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Gewürz-Aufbewahrund-Abgabevorrichtung, die gekennzeichnet ist durch einen länglichen vertikalen Körper mit mindestens zwei sich mit Abstand zueinander parallel erstreckenden Hohlräumen, welche je mittels eines vertikal angeordneten Schlitzes von aussen zugänglich sind, in welcher je eine Vielzahl von einzelnen Gewürzbehältern kolonnenförmig übereinander angeordnet sind, die durch die genannten Schlitze dem Körper entnommen werden können, durch eine horizontale Grundplatte und durch Mittel zur drehbaren Lagerung des Körpers auf der Grundplatte.



   Anhand der Zeichnung wird die Erfindung beispielsweise beschrieben.



   Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht eines Ausführungsbeispieles;
Fig. 2 ist eine Aufsicht desselben;
Fig.3 ist ein Querschnitt durch einen Teil der Vorrichtung nach Fig. 1;
Fig.4 zeigt einen einzelnen Behälter, und
Fig. 5 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel.



   Die Fig. 1 bis 4 zeigen eine Vorrichtung mit einer horizontalen Grundplatte 10 als Basis, auf welcher sich oben eine Hülse 12 befindet. Diese kann um eine Achse frei drehbar sein. Ein vertikaler Schaft 14 ist in der genannten Hülse drehbar angeordnet und erstreckt sich hiervon nach oben, durch die Mitte eines länglichen hohlen Körpers 16. Der Schaft ist mit dem hohlen Körper verbunden, also zusammen mit diesem bezüglich der Basis drehbar.



   Der Körper 16 weist zwei einander gegenüberliegende Hohlräume 18 und 20 auf. Jeder Hohlraum hat auf der Aussenseite einen vertikalen Schlitz 22, wodurch die einzelnen Abgabebehälter 24, welche Gewürze enthalten und entsprechend gekennzeichnet sind, eingeführt und kolonnenförmig gestapelt oder entnommen werden können. Die Abgabebehälter können als nachfüllbare oder als Wegwerfbehälter ausgebildet sein.



   Fig. 5 zeigt eine Variante mit einem hohlen Körper 26 anstelle desjenigen nach Fig. 1. Er weist vier statt zwei Hohlräume auf, welche ebenfalls nach aussen jeweils mit einem Schlitz versehen sind.



   PATENTANSPRUCH

   The subject of the invention is a spice storage and dispensing device, which is characterized by an elongated vertical body with at least two spaced parallel cavities, which are each accessible from the outside by means of a vertically arranged slot, in each of which a plurality of individual spice containers are arranged in columns one above the other, which can be removed from the body through said slots, through a horizontal base plate and through means for rotatably mounting the body on the base plate.



   The invention is described, for example, with the aid of the drawing.



   Fig. 1 shows a side view of an embodiment;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same;
Figure 3 is a cross-section through part of the device of Figure 1;
Fig.4 shows a single container, and
Fig. 5 shows a second embodiment.



   1 to 4 show a device with a horizontal base plate 10 as a base on which a sleeve 12 is located at the top. This can be freely rotatable about an axis. A vertical shaft 14 is rotatably arranged in said sleeve and extends upwardly therefrom, through the center of an elongated hollow body 16. The shaft is connected to the hollow body, that is to say rotatable together with it with respect to the base.



   The body 16 has two cavities 18 and 20 opposite one another. Each cavity has a vertical slot 22 on the outside, as a result of which the individual dispensing containers 24, which contain spices and are marked accordingly, can be inserted and stacked in columns or removed. The dispensing containers can be refillable or disposable.



   FIG. 5 shows a variant with a hollow body 26 instead of that according to FIG. 1. It has four instead of two cavities, which are also provided with a slot on the outside.



   PATENT CLAIM



   Spice storage and dispensing device, characterized by an elongated vertical body (16) with at least two mutually parallel extending cavities (18 and 20) which are each accessible from the outside by means of a vertically arranged slot (22) in which A plurality of individual spice containers (24) are arranged one above the other in columns, which can be removed from the body through the aforementioned slots, through a horizontal base plate (10) and by means (12, 14) for rotatably mounting the body on the base plate.

 

   SUBCLAIMS
1. Device according to claim, characterized in that said means have a shaft (14) which is coaxial to the axis of rotation and which extends through the body.



   2. Device according to dependent claim 1, characterized in that the columns are arranged at a uniform distance and symmetrically around the shaft.



   3. Device according to dependent claim 2, characterized in that four columns are provided in four corresponding cavities.
