[0001] The present invention relates to a counter display device for displaying meat and / or fish products and the like, according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] The object of the present invention is to improve the accessibility of items that are usually arranged on a display surface, whereas items and / or goods located further away are difficult to reach. The invention described herein aims to remedy this problem.

[0003] WO 2009 / 043434 A2 relates to an insertable shelf (10) for refrigerators, which is used as a multifunctional shelf and comprises a preferably rotatable turntable (20) that can be inserted into a receiving recess (22) of the insertable shelf. The turntable is provided with a thin-walled double bottom. A cold storage medium is sealed in the space between the two bottom sections, so that chilled food remains cool in its containers even during consumption when the turntable is removed from the refrigerator and placed on the table as a tray. The multifunctional shelf can be adapted to different refrigerator widths by means of a pull-out extension shelf (15), which can also be used as a defrosting and draining surface for frozen food.Elastic plastic strips (34) inserted along the fastening edges (39) of the multifunctional panel ensure that lateral pressure on the plastic strips (34) prevents the insertable base from being accidentally pulled out and compensates for tolerances regarding the internal dimensions of common refrigerator types, which taper conically towards the rear.

[0004] KR 20 1998 0 033 838 U concerns a refrigerator and in particular a charging stand installed in a refrigerator to load a half-pot container and food.

[0008] In particular, the display body can be a round, rotatable disc which can be rotated in a circle on the pin- or peg-like element, which is also shown below.

[0009] In particular, the disc may be a metal disc on which the products to be displayed, such as meat or fish, are exhibited.

[0010] Furthermore, the counter display device described here is not a different display element than the display element described for meat, fish and the like.

[0011] Therefore, any merchandise stand or any other endlessly movable display surface is excluded from the invention.

[0012] The following invention is therefore limited exclusively to the design of the display body in the form of a roundel.

[0013] Depending on which product the operator wants to remove from the display area, the operator can therefore rotate the corresponding carousel, and in particular the display body described here, which is designed in the form of a carousel disc, towards themselves in order to reach the product to be displayed and then hand it over to a customer, especially after measuring it using a scale.

[0014] According to the invention, in the counter display device for displaying meat and / or fish products and the like, the mechanical connection system is formed with a pin- or peg-like element, and the display body can be brought into engagement with a corresponding counter element, in particular a hole-like recess, on an outer surface of the base with this pin- or peg-like element, so that a fixation of the display body relative to the connection system is created along at least one axis of movement.

[0015] According to at least one further embodiment, the mechanical connection system is detachably or permanently attached to an inner surface of the base body facing the display body.

[0016] According to at least one embodiment, the movement of the extension element relative to the base body corresponds to a rotary circular movement, wherein an axis of rotation of the extension element coincides at least partially with a principal extension direction of the pin- or peg-like element, i.e., the connecting element.

[0017] According to at least one embodiment, the connection system has at least one coupling element by means of which the display element can be mechanically arranged on the base body.

[0018] According to at least one embodiment, the connection system has at least one adjusting element by means of which the position of the pin- or peg-like element relative to the base body can be adjusted.

[0019] According to at least one embodiment, the counter display device is characterized in that, in particular by means of an adjusting element, for example by means of a pulling or pushing means, a position of the pin- or cone-shaped element along the inner surface of the base body is changed, and in particular is displaceable, in particular so that a rotation axis of the display element is displaceable parallel along this plane.

[0020] According to at least one embodiment, the pin- or peg-like element is height-adjustable along the axis of rotation.

[0021] According to at least one embodiment, it is a counter display device, in particular for the presentation of meat and sausage products, wherein the base body is the counter itself for supporting and / or preparing the goods, and the display element provides the surface on which the goods are placed for presentation.

[0022] The invention mentioned above will be described in more detail below with reference to the figures.

[0023] Fig. Figure 1 shows the counter display device 100 described here for displaying meat and / or fish products and the like, which comprises at least one base body 1 against which a user can lean while handling at least one object positioned or to be positioned on or on the base body 1. Fig. 2 is a counter display device100 for displaying meat and / or fish products and the like, which comprises at least one base body 1 against which a user can lean while handling at least one object positioned or to be positioned on or on the base body 1.

[0024] Furthermore, it shows Fig. 2 at least one delivery body 2 which is movably mounted on the base body 1 relative to the base body 1 and at least one mechanical connection system 3 which stably mounts the delivery body 2 relative to the base body 1, so that a movement of the delivery body 2 relative to the base body 1 is always repeatable.

[0025] Fig. It can also be seen from Figure 2 that the mechanical connection system 3 is formed with a pin- or peg-like element 4, and that the delivery body 2 can be brought into engagement with this pin- or peg-like element 4 on an outer surface of the base with a corresponding counter-element, in particular a hole-like recess 5, such that a fixation of the delivery body 2 relative to the connection system 3 is created along at least one axis of movement 10. The mechanical connection system 3 is detachably or permanently attached to an inner surface 6 of the base body 1 facing the delivery body 2.

[0026] As can be seen in the figure, the movement of the projection element 2 relative to the base body 1 corresponds to a rotary circular movement, whereby a rotation axis R of the projection element 2 coincides at least partially with a principal extension direction Z1 of the pin- or peg-like element 4, i.e. the connecting element.

[0027] It is also apparent that the connection system 3 has at least one coupling element 7 by means of which the display element 2 can be mechanically arranged on the base body 1, and that the connection system 3 has at least one adjusting element 8 by means of which a position of the pin- or peg-like element 4 relative to the base body 1 can be adjusted.

[0028] Furthermore, it is from Fig. 2 it is evident that, in particular by means of an adjusting element 8, for example by means of a pulling or pushing means 9, a position of the pin- or cone-shaped element 4 along the inner surface 6 of the base body is changed, and in particular is displaceable, in particular so that an axis of rotation R of the display element 2 is displaceable parallel along this plane, and that the cone- or pin-like element 4 is height-adjustable along the axis of rotation R.

[0029] Fig. Figure 2 shows that this is a counter display device, in particular for the presentation of meat and sausage products, and that the base body 1 is the counter itself for supporting and / or preparing the goods, and the display element 2 provides the surface on which the goods are placed for presentation.

[0030] Fig. Figure 3 shows a top view of the counter display device 100 described here.

[0031] The invention is not limited by the description based on the exemplary embodiment. Rather, the invention encompasses any new feature, as well as any combination of features, which in particular includes any combination of features in the patent claims, even if this feature or combination itself is not explicitly specified in the patent claims or in the exemplary embodiments.

[0032] In the Fig. 4 shows a photographic underside view of the display body 2, a stabilizing element according to the invention, which according to the invention is formed in the form of a stabilizing cross, consisting of two metal struts 11 arranged perpendicular to each other and in particular in a cross shape to each other, in order to be able to support the display body 2 from below.

[0033] For example, the cross-shaped struts 11 on the underside of the display body 2 are detachably arranged from the display body 2.

[0034] It is also conceivable that at least one, preferably both, struts 11 are adjustable in length. In this case, the delivery strut can consist of two nested, box-like elements that are slidable in length and can be moved relative to each other as needed to vary the overall length of the strut 11. This can be used, among other things, to compensate for different weight distributions of the products being delivered on the top of the rotary disc, i.e., the top of the delivery body 2.

[0035] In at least one embodiment, it is conceivable that the individual box-like, movable elements for changing the length of a strut 11 along a rail system are connected to each other on their undersides. At least one rail is therefore additionally arranged on the underside of the display body 2, wherein at least one of the mutually movable, partially strut-like elements can be moved along the rail and generate stabilization along the radial direction of the display body 2.
