Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9700038A1] The invention relates to a refrigerating counter for bottles, cans or the like in the form of a bottle cooler in which the bottles, etc. lie offered for self-service sale within a take out place (5) which, in the horizontal direction, is accessible 360 DEG about a central pipe (1, 1') carrying cooled air from a lower positioned refrigerator, said cooled air being brought to circulate around the bottles, etc. in the take out place (5) and in an immediately thereabove positioned annulus (4) for filling and storing of bottles, etc., from where the bottles, etc. move downwardly to the take out place (5) as bottles, etc. are removed therefrom. In order to prevent that "bridge"-building of tangled wedge-shaped bottles takes place especially within the annulus (4), at least one upright partition (7) has been disposed in at least the annulus (4), said partition (7), possibly, extending down into the underlying take out place (5) for bottles, etc. In order to obtain a controlled, braked and damped movement of the bottles, etc. from annulus (4) to take out place (5), at least one lateral, flexible damper means (8, 9) can be disposed within the annulus (4), said damper means (8, 9) projecting into the downwardly directed movement path of the bottles toward the take out place (5).
