Description slide display

The invention relates to a sliding display for a piece of furniture.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture, in particular for the presentation and/or storage of goods.

There are currently no known sliding displays for bottles of different sizes that ensure that the bottles slide down smoothly when the front bottle is removed. DE 299 12 507 describes a carriage or a trolley that, when placed on a sliding display, generates a thrust on the goods in front of it. This carriage or trolley can also accommodate other goods, so that the thrust it generates is increased. The use of this carriage or trolley in practice has shown, however, that it is not always used appropriately and may even cause disadvantages.

The object of the present invention is to provide a generic sliding display and a generic piece of furniture which avoids this disadvantage.

A sliding display is therefore proposed which is characterized in that a bottle suspension device is arranged at an incline above the sliding display.

Such bottle suspension devices can be implemented for all types of bottles that have a correspondingly shaped, i.e. widened, bottle neck - as is the case with so-called PET bottles, for example.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the sliding display according to the invention, the bottle suspension device is arranged essentially parallel to the sliding display.

According to the invention, the generic piece of furniture has at least one such sliding display.

Such bottle hanging devices have been known for a long time, but so far they have only been arranged horizontally, so that the customer has to "pull" the desired goods off the hanging device. The refilling of such hanging devices by the operating personnel takes place by pushing the goods onto them.

According to the invention, the bottle hanging device is now arranged at an angle above the sliding display. As a result, when the first bottle is removed from the bottle hanging device or sliding display, the shelves arranged behind it automatically slide to the front of the sliding display or to the front panel provided there. The customer therefore never has to reach far into the furniture, as the bottles are automatically "transported" to the front area, which is easy for the customer to reach.

Furniture that has this type of sliding display is usually loaded with new bottles from the back. If there is no bottle left in a bottle hanging device, loading the bottle hanging device with new bottles, especially the first bottle, is problematic. When the bottle slides down the inclined bottle hanging device, it gains so much momentum that it springs back on the front panel or pane and then usually comes to rest on the sliding display. The sliding display or bottle hanging device can only be fully loaded with further bottles once the overturned bottle has been uprighted. However, this procedure delays loading considerably and is therefore undesirable.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the sliding display according to the invention, the bottle suspension device has means in its front area facing the customer for slowing down the bottles sliding down the bottle suspension device.

If the bottle suspension device in the sliding display according to the invention is now loaded with the first bottle, the bottle is braked as it slides down before it reaches the front panel or disc, so that rebounding against the front panel or disc of the sliding display and the associated tipping over can be avoided. The loading process is thus made easier, but in particular it is shortened.

In a further development of the sliding display according to the invention, it is proposed that the means for slowing down the bottles sliding down the bottle suspension device are designed as a nose extending into the slide path of the bottles, which slows down the bottles.

In principle, there are a number of ways to slow down the bottles sliding down the bottle suspension device. For example, the material of the bottle suspension device can have a higher coefficient of friction in the area where the bottle is to be slowed down.

The slide display according to the invention and further embodiments thereof are explained in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 1 shows a side view of the goods room 1 of a possibly cooled goods display unit in which several sliding displays 2 are arranged one above the other. The side of the goods room 1 or the furniture facing the customer is marked K, the side facing away from the customer is marked B. The term "furniture" refers to any - uncooled or at least partially cooled - furniture for storing and presenting goods, for example shelves, showcases, display or presentation stands, etc.

The individual areas of the sliding displays 2 can be separated from each other by product dividers 3.

4.

According to the invention, a bottle suspension device 6 is arranged at an incline above each sliding display 2. This preferably has the same incline as the respective sliding display 2 itself; it should be noted here that sliding displays with different inclines can possibly be provided within a piece of furniture.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the sliding display according to the invention, the bottle suspension device 6 is designed in the form of a C-shaped guide rail. The C-shaped guide rail is arranged in such a way that its opening is directed downwards and the bottles 4 can be suspended in this guide rail.

The bottle suspension devices 6 are expediently attached to the sliding displays 2 arranged above them. This leads to a very space-saving construction, whereby optimal use of the goods space can be achieved.

In addition, the bottle hanging device can also be designed as an independent stand or a stand-alone framework. This makes sense in particular if the bottle hanging device is to be used in conjunction with different slide displays.

The sliding displays 2 have a front panel or cover 5 which prevents the bottles 4 from falling off the sliding displays 2. If a sliding display 2 or a bottle suspension device 6 is now moved from the rear

If the bottle is loaded from side B of the goods area 1, the first bottle 4 is given so much momentum that it springs back on the front window or panel 5 and comes to rest on the sliding display 2. It would then still be possible to load the bottle hanging device 6 with more bottles 4, but the number of bottles to be hung per bottle hanging device 6 would be reduced by 3 to 4. This would lead to less utilization of the goods area.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the slide display according to the invention, a nose 7 is provided which extends into the slide path of the bottles 4, as shown in Figure 2, which shows the section of the bottle suspension device 6 circled in Figure 1. 5

The upper edge of the bottle or bottle cap facing the customer hits the nose 7 at point 8 as the bottle 4 slides down. This slows down the bottle 4 to such an extent that it no longer springs back on the front window 5 so strongly that it subsequently falls over.

If a bottle 4 that has been removed by mistake is to be placed back on the slide display 2 or hung in the bottle hanging device 6, this can be made easier by providing an additional nose 9. This serves as a guide rail for the customer when hanging the bottle 4 back.
