Abstract

The present invention relates to a merchandise display device for displaying goods on a goods conveyor, including: a goods tray for supporting the goods along a feed direction V from a rear end to a front end of the goods tray, a front fixing element attached to the front end, a rear fixing element attached to the rear end, two struts supporting the goods tray on the rear fixing element, each having a hook section for fastening the struts to a bracket, a goods end stop arranged on the front fixing element, a pusher device which is guided along the goods tray to advance the goods in feed direction V, at least one, preferably two divider walls which delimit the goods conveyor laterally and is/are constructed to be displaceable for adjusting a width of the goods conveyor transversely to the feed direction V, wherein the goods tray is constructed at least mostly, preferably practically entirely as a closed surface between the struts.

at least one divider wall ( 12 , 12 ′) which delimits the goods conveyor ( 2 ) laterally and is constructed to be displaceable for adjusting a width of the goods conveyor ( 2 ) transversely to the feed direction (V),

wherein the goods tray ( 3 ) is constructed as a closed surface between the struts ( 8 ) such that when the rear fixing element ( 6 ) and the front fixing element ( 7 ) are respectively attached to the rear ( 4 ) and front ends ( 5 ) of the goods tray ( 3 ), the goods tray ( 3 ) has no openings therein apart from liquid drainage apertures, wherein further at least one of the front fixing element ( 7 ) or the rear fixing element ( 6 ) has an upper side that has a cross section corresponding to the shape of a cross-section of the goods tray ( 3 ).

2. Merchandise display device according to claim 1 , wherein the goods tray ( 3 ) is made from rolled or extruded metal sheet.

3. Merchandise display device according to claim 1 , wherein the goods tray ( 3 ) has at least one corrugation ( 17 ) extending continuously in the feed direction (V).

4. Merchandise display device according claim 1 , wherein the struts ( 8 ) are each constructed as a single part and/or entirely from a single material.

5. Merchandise display device according to claim 1 , wherein the pusher device ( 11 ) includes a pusher element ( 13 ) with a pusher wall ( 14 ) and two guide legs ( 16 ) which clasp the sides of the goods tray ( 3 ).

6. Merchandise display device according to claim 1 , wherein a latching element ( 18 ) is arranged on the rear end ( 4 ), for engagement of the pusher device ( 11 ).

7. Merchandise display device according to claim 1 , wherein the divider wall ( 12 , 12 ′) has a front guide element ( 19 ) and a rear guide element ( 20 ) for guiding the divider wall ( 12 , 12 ′) transversely to the feed direction (V), wherein the front guide element ( 19 ) extends through the front fixing element ( 7 ) and the rear guide element ( 20 ) extends through the rear fixing element ( 6 ).

8. Merchandise display device according to claim 1 , wherein the pusher device ( 11 ) is equipped with two wheels ( 15 ) which roll on the goods tray ( 3 ).

9. Merchandise display device according claim 3 , wherein the pusher device ( 11 ) is equipped with a roller spring ( 21 ) which rolls in the corrugation ( 17 ).

10. A merchandise display device ( 1 ) for displaying goods on a goods conveyor ( 2 ) with:

a goods tray ( 3 ) for supporting the goods along a feed direction (V) from a rear end ( 4 ) to a front end ( 5 ) of the goods tray ( 3 );

a rear fixing element ( 6 ) attached to the rear end ( 4 );

a front fixing element ( 7 ) attached to the front end ( 5 );

two struts ( 8 ) supporting the goods tray ( 3 ) on the rear fixing element ( 6 ), each of the struts having a hook section ( 9 ) for fastening the struts ( 8 ) to a bracket;

a goods end stop ( 10 ) arranged on the front fixing element ( 7 );

a pusher device ( 11 ) which is guided along the goods tray ( 3 ) to advance the goods in feed direction (V);

at least one divider wall ( 12 , 12 ′) which delimits the goods conveyor ( 2 ) laterally and is constructed to be displaceable for adjusting a width of the goods conveyor ( 2 ) transversely to the feed direction (V);

wherein the goods tray ( 3 ) is constructed as a closed surface between the struts ( 8 ) such that when the rear fixing element ( 6 ) and the front fixing element ( 7 ) are respectively attached to the rear ( 4 ) and front ends ( 5 ) of the goods tray ( 3 ), the goods tray ( 3 ) has no openings therein apart from liquid drainage apertures, and wherein the pusher device ( 11 ) includes a pusher element ( 13 ) with a pusher wall ( 14 ) and two guide legs ( 16 ) which clasp the sides of the goods tray ( 3 ).

11. The merchandise display device of claim 10 wherein at least one of the front fixing element ( 7 ) or the rear fixing element ( 6 ) has an upper side that has a cross section corresponding to the shape of a cross section of the goods tray ( 3 ).

12. The merchandise display device of claim 10 , wherein the pusher device ( 11 ) is equipped with two wheels ( 15 ) which roll on the goods tray ( 3 ).

13.
