AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a showcase for products in a point of sale that has a frame with shelves that can rotate between a packed position and an unpacked position. The shelves are held in a rotational relationship to the frame by a fastener that allows the shelves to rotate in relation to the frame. The shelf has a hole in its lateral walls that can be aligned with a hole in the frame to secure the shelf in the unpacked position. The showcase can have a double face for the supply of products, with a base that can be in complete contact with the ground. The showcase can also be folded up, with the rear part resting super-imposed in relation to the front part. These features make the showcase more efficient and easier to use in retail settings."

Problems solved by technology

The distributors of consumable products often have a problem with regard to how to set up the product on a showcase, in a quick and complete manner, in the less time possible, and at the same time having a showcase that is sufficiently capable of bearing these consumable products while being exhibited.

first embodiment

[0079]Reference in this section will be made to figures from 8 to 15.

[0080]In a first embodiment, the rear support 20 has a convergence point 19 with the frame 10 in a part slightly above the intermediate part of the length of the frame 10, reason for which the rotation point of the rear support 20 in relation to the frame 10 is precisely at this convergence point 19.

[0081]In this first embodiment, a more complete frame 10 is shown. Specifically, it shows a frame that has a rear wall 16 that does not allow visibility to the user towards the rear support 20. Specifically, in this case, the first face 14 has been dismissed from the lateral wall 11 and it has been substituted completely by a rear wall 16. Hence, when the shelf 40 rotates, the upper part of the lateral walls 41 of the shelf 40 will bump, when the showcase is moved to the folded position, into the mentioned rear wall 16. When the shelf rotates, the lower internal corner of the shelf will bump, when the showcase is moved ...

second embodiment

[0084]Reference will be made to figures from 16 to 20

[0085]In a second embodiment, the frame 10 has a hexahedral shape. Specially, a geometric figure such as a cuboid is preferred; however, a cube or a rhombohedron can also be used for the frame 10.

[0086]In the interior of the hexahedron, a spring 2 or an elastic mechanism is provided, used to store the mechanical energy and so to provide the product that is being exhibited automatically. The lower wall of the shelf bumps into the spring.

[0087]In the interior of the frame 10, the shelf 40 is placed, and it is placed in a movable manner, specifically slidable within the frame 10.

[0088]Between the shelf 40 and the lower part of the frame 10 or the floor, there is a spring 2 or an elastic mechanism used to save mechanical energy. The spring 2 is there so that it can push the shelf 40 upwards. Therefore, the more weight the shelf 40 has, the spring 2 will be in a working position and the shelf 40 will be in a lower position in relation ...

third embodiment

[0095]Reference will be made to figures from 21 to 26.

[0096]In the present embodiment, the rear support 20 is comprised of two arms 21, 21′ and a lower joint with a similar shape as that of the lateral walls 11, 11′ and of the lower wall 12 of the frame 10. Specifically, the rear support 20 is composed of two arms 21, 21′, a lower joint 22 and optionally an upper wall. The lateral walls 21, 21′ have at least two faces, where a first face 23 is substantially perpendicular to the second face 24. It is preferable that the vertex formed between both faces 23, 24 is towards the exterior of the showcase 1, though that the vertex between both faces 23, 24 is formed towards the interior of the showcase 1 is not to be ruled out, so that these faces may be coupled directly with the rear part of the frame 10. Optionally, it is possible that the lateral arms 21, 21′ have a tubular shape or an elongated hexahedral shape. The lower joint 22 can be comprised of only one face, which is substantiall...

Abstract

A showcase for the loading and exhibition of products, that is comprised of a frame with two lateral walls and a lower wall, where each lateral wall has at least a first and a second hole, a rear support with two arms and a lower joint, where each arm has at least a first hole, where the first hole of the frame is collinear with the first hole of the rear support in a convergence point between the frame and the rear support; and at least one shelf or rack with two lateral walls and a front joint, the shelf or rack being rotational between a first position and a second position when it is set up with the frame and the rear support.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention refers to structures for the exhibition of products, and more specifically to exhibiting shelves that are easily transformable in order to exhibit products in a point of sale, and even more specifically to showcases of products with at least one shelf or rack used to hold up or bear and exhibit products in a point of sale and a method for the assembly, disassembly and transformation of these showcases.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The constant growth of population demands a production in great volumes of products to be purchased. At the points of sale, structures that can bear a great volume of products in small spaces are required, without loosing the essential detail of exhibiting the product. The distributors of consumable products often have a problem with regard to how to set up the product on a showcase, in a quick and complete manner, in the less time possible, and at the same time having a showcase that is sufficiently cap...
