Definitions
- the invention relates to a tablet device.
- stackable plastic trays are generally used, on which sheet-shaped paper advertising media are placed as documents in order to avoid excessive contamination of the trays with the food and drinks.
- a disadvantage of this is the enormously high consumption of paper advertising media, since a new advertising media sheet is used in each case for the delivery of the food and beverages and, after consumption, is generally placed in containers provided for this purpose. This has an enormously high consumption of paper, which can be seen as detrimental in economic and ecological terms.
- a dining tray which consists of a solid base made of a hard plastic and a similarly shaped insert which rests on the entire surface of the base and is supported on this base from a thin, not in itself there is sufficient dimensionally stable plastic film.
- DE 44 10 222 AI provides a tray with a flat bottom which is surrounded by an upwardly projecting tray outer edge and the top of which is covered by a particularly transparent film, the outer edge of the film being covered by a frame, in particular a Ring is covered, which is attached to the outer edge of the plate and / or on the bottom.
- Disadvantages of these trays are, on the one hand, that the respective attraction elements, for example in the form of photographs, are firmly connected to the support surface of the tray, which does not allow the attraction elements to be changed, and, on the other hand, that the coating or the plastic film is not mechanically high enough Providing protection or replacing the film is a relatively cumbersome procedure.
- the problem arises of at least partially eliminating or avoiding the disadvantages mentioned above.
- the problem that arises is, in particular, to provide a tray device that allows a quick and easy change of attraction elements, while at the same time these are adequately protected mechanically when the trays are used conventionally.
- the fiction, contemporary tablet device consists of a tray with a dimensionally stable base with a support surface for receiving sheet-like information carriers and a fixable to the base, transparent and dimensionally stable upper part as goods receiving surface, so that the information carrier is legibly covered by the upper part in the fixed state.
- sheet-like information carriers for example advertising inserts
- the upper part can be fixed to the base by means of at least one latching element which engages at least in a correspondingly arranged recess in the base and projects beyond the side profile of the upper part.
- the device according to the invention consists of an auxiliary tool which has a contact surface for placing on at least one side surface of the tray having a latching element and for pushing out the at least one latching element from the at least one recess for releasing the upper part from the base at least one projection corresponding to the latching element ,
- the latching elements can have a wide variety of shapes, for example be dome-shaped or cuboid; this applies to the corresponding extent to the corresponding recesses (based on the examples above, circular or rectangular).
- the auxiliary tool can also be designed differently, in particular also as a type of tablet-receiving trough, on the side surfaces of which the corresponding projections are arranged.
- the projections can, for example, be rod-shaped.
- the use of materials adapted to the requirements is possible, in particular the use of different plastics for the tray and the use of metal, for example stainless steel, for the auxiliary tool, since this is often used as a semi-stationary device in commercial kitchens, especially in fast food restaurants. can be used.
- the latching element and the corresponding projection are nipple and / or pin-shaped, since these are geometrically simple shapes that have proven themselves in practice and are easy to manufacture. It is also advantageous if the upper part has two locking elements and the auxiliary tool has two corresponding projections, since this results in an engagement redundancy and the engagement strength between the upper part and the base can be increased.
- the upper part has three locking elements and the auxiliary tool has three corresponding projections, since in this way an undesired lifting of the upper part from the base becomes almost impossible.
- the upper part has a collar which engages in a circumferential groove of the base.
- hinges By means of hinges, snap fasteners, Velcro fasteners, pins, pinching folds, the upper part engages in correspondingly arranged recesses
- Locking lugs or screws can be fixed on the base.
- the seal is made of rubber, cork, silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene,
- the base and the auxiliary tool consist of plastic, metal, glass or wood, for example of polyethylene, polypropylene or stainless steel, aluminum or borosilicate glass or oak wood.
- the upper part consists of plastic and / or glass, for example of polyethylene,
- the support surface for receiving sheet-like information carriers below the transparent dimensionally stable upper part can be inserted laterally into the dimensionally stable base, in particular in the form of a drawer, so that in inserted state of the information carrier is legibly covered by the upper part, since in this way a further possibility of a quick and uncomplicated change of the information carrier is possible.
- Figure 1 - a sketchy three-dimensional representation of an embodiment of the upper part and base of a tray of the tray device according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a sketchy three-dimensional representation of an embodiment of a tray and an auxiliary tool of the tray device according to the invention.
- Figure 3 a sketchy three-dimensional representation of a further embodiment of a tray of the tray device according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a sketchy three-dimensional representation of an embodiment of the upper part and base of a tray of the tablet device according to the invention.
- the tray has a dimensionally stable base (1) with a support surface (2) for receiving sheet-like information carriers and a transparent and dimensionally stable upper part (3) that can be fixed to the base (1) as a goods support surface, so that in the fixed state the information carrier by means of Upper part (3) is legibly covered. Due to this special design, it is possible that sheet-like information carriers, for example advertising inserts, can be inserted and replaced between the base (1) and the upper part (3) and, moreover, due to the dimensional stability of the upper part (3) when such a tray is subjected to normal stress in mechanical Are adequately protected. Due to the transparency of the upper part (3) the legibility of the sheet-like information carrier is guaranteed.
- the base (1) has three circular recesses (4) on each side, which also correspond to three nipple-shaped locking elements (5) of the upper part (3) on each side, so that when the upper part (3) and base (1) are inserted into one another a positive fixation is accomplished.
- the upper part (3) has a circumferential collar (10) which engages in a circumferential groove (9) of the base and in this way ensures additional fixation and sealing.
- a silicone seal (11) is arranged between the support surface (2) of the base (1) and the upper part (3) in order to prevent possible penetration of liquids, in particular beverages.
- FIG. 2 shows a sketchy three-dimensional representation of an embodiment of a tray and an auxiliary tool of the tray device according to the invention.
- the tray shown corresponds to that shown in FIG. 1, the upper part (3) and the base (1) being already fixed to one another.
- the auxiliary tool is in the form of a rod with three projections (6) corresponding to the latching elements (5).
- FIG. 3 shows a sketchy three-dimensional representation of a further embodiment of a tray of the tablet device according to the invention.
- This embodiment of the tray also has a dimensionally stable base (1) with a support surface (2) for receiving sheet-like information carriers and a transparent and dimensionally stable upper part (3) that can be fixed to the base (1) as a goods support surface, so that in the fixed state Information carrier is legibly covered by the upper part (3).
- the support surface (2) for receiving sheet-like information carriers can be inserted laterally below the transparent, dimensionally stable upper part (3) into the dimensionally stable base (1), here in the form of a drawer, so that when the information carrier is pushed in, the upper part ( 3) legibly covered and in this way a quick and uncomplicated change of information carriers is possible.
- the configuration corresponds to that shown in FIG.
