Personnel have been assigned to keep the products in order, stock follow-up, and dust-free at display stands in markets, stores, and other similar retail sales points in the current technique. The stand is covered in dust due to excessive dust accumulation on the racks in the product display stands, making the products on the rack look unappealing. As a result, stands and products should be cleaned in short bursts and kept dust-free. Because dust accumulates and appears dirty on the packaging, consumers do not prefer it, and reliability of the brand suffers as a result. However, cleaning each rack in a product display stand without disrupting the product sequence is difficult and time-consuming. In businesses, this results in extra labor and lost time. As a result, there is a need in the present state of the art for a system that provides automatic removal of dust accumulated on the racks in the product display stands and on the products displayed on the racks for sale.

The preferred alternatives of the product display dust removal system that is the subject of the invention are described in detail only for a better understanding of the subject and have no limiting effect. Figure 1 depicts a general view of the product display stand dust removal system that is the subject of the invention. Accordingly, the present invention mainly comprises; a chassis (10), a rack (20) that carries the products displayed in the chassis (10) and moves up and down cyclically within the chassis (10), an engine (30), which provides the movement of the racks (20), is an engine (30) driven by the engine (30) and moves the racks (20) up and down cyclically by making rotational movements on both sides of the racks (20) in the chassis (10), upper and lower gear (40), a chain (50) that transfers the rotational movement of the gear (40) to the racks (20), a button (60) that enables the up-down movement of the racks (20) to be controlled, a compressor (70), which is connected to the chassis (10) and blows compressed air from one end and vacuums the air from the other end, a vacuum hood (80) which is connected to the compressor (70) on the chassis (10) and vacuums the dust accumulated on the racks (20) moving up and down cyclically, a blower hose (100) which is connected to the compressor (70) on the chassis (10) and vents the dust accumulated on the racks (20) on the chassis (10) with linear motion, a circular motion engine (1 10) that provides circular motion drive on the chassis (10) to provide the linear movement of the blower hose (100) on the chassis (10), a disc (120) that moves circularly by means of a circular motion engine (110), a movement shaft (140) that moves the blower hose (100) linearly between the side registers (130) on both sides of the chassis (10), a drive frame (150) that enables the circular motion to be converted into linear motion by being associated with the disc (120) between the motion shaft (140), a disc arm (160) which is associated with the drive frame (150) on the disc (120) and which together with the disc (120) moves the drive frame (150) linearly between the drive shaft (140) by rotating in the slit (151 ) of the drive frame (150).

The chassis (10), which is the main structure of the product display stand dust removal system, is positioned on the floor and is preferably in the form of an open box with its front surface. Side tables (11 ) are positioned vertically on both sides of the chassis (10) for this objective, and an upper table (12) is closed on the side tables (11 ). A table is fixed to the back of the side plates (11 ) in order to close the rear surface of the chassis (10) (not shown in the figure). The rear surface of the chassis (10) may also be open.

Racks (20) are positioned one above the other inside the chassis (10). The said racks (20) carry the products displayed by moving up and down cyclically within the chassis (10). The circular up and down movement of the racks (20) inside the chassis (10) is provided by at least one engine (30) which is preferably positioned on the floor within the chassis (10). The said engine (30) rotates the gears (40) that rotate reciprocally on both sides of the racks (20), upper and lower.

The gears (40), which rotate mutually on both sides of the racks (20), upper and lower, rotate through the drive provided by the engine (30), and move the racks (20) up and down cyclically. For this objective, the upper and lower gears (40) are connected to each other by means of a chain (50). Thereby, the gears (40) rotate through the drive provided by the engine (30), and this rotational movement is transferred to the racks (20) by means of the chain (50) on the gears (40). Racks (20) move up and down cyclically within the chassis (10) together with the chain (50), and while the racks (20) on the front of the chassis (10) move up or down towards the rear, the racks (30) at the rear also move to the front.

At least one button (60) is installed on the chassis (10) to allow the consumer to control the product display stand. The button (60) is connected with the engine (30) and provides the up and down movement of the racks (20).

In order to clean the dust in the product display stand, at least one compressor (70) is placed on the upper table (12) forming the upper surface of the chassis (10), as shown in figure 2. the said compressor (70) blows compressed air from one end and vacuums the air from the other end. At least one vacuum hood (80) is connected to an opening formed on the upper table (12) of the chassis (10) in order to extract the dust on the racks (20) with the vacuum air provided by the compressor (70). The said vacuum hood (80) is connected to the air vacuuming end of the compressor (70) by means of at least one suction hose (90). Thereby, the vacuum air supplied from the compressor (70) reaches the vacuum hood (80) from the suction hose (90) and the vacuum hood (80) vacuums the dust accumulated on the racks (20) moving up and down cyclically.

At least one blower hose (100) is connected to the compressed air blowing end of the compressor (70) in order to vent the dust on the racks (20) simultaneously with the vacuuming process of the dusts and the said blower hose (100) is directed into a channel (121 ) opened on the upper table (12), and linear movement is provided. With the linear movement of the blower hose (100), the dust accumulated on the entire surface of the racks (20) is ventilated.

For the linear movement of the blower hose (100) in the channel (121 ), at least one circular motion engine (110) is connected to the upper table (12) of the chassis (10), providing a circular motion drive. A disc (120) is connected to the end of said circular motion engine (1 10) in such a way that it can rotate. The said disc (120) moves circularly by means of circular motion engine (110).

On the upper table (12) of the chassis (10), the side registers (130) are mutually connected and a movement shaft (140) that moves linearly on the horizontal axis is placed between the side registers (130). In order to transfer the linear movement of the movement shaft (140) to the blower hose (100), one end of the movement shaft (140) is connected to the holder (101 ) on the blower hose (100).

A drive frame (150), which is positioned on the vertical axis and converts circular motion into linear motion, is connected between the motion shaft and the drive shaft (140). The said drive frame (150) is in rectangular form and there is a rectangular slit (151 ) in it. The drive frame (150) is associated with the disc (120) by inserting an L- shaped disc arm (160) connected to the disc (120), which is rotated by the circular motion engine (1 10), into the said slit (151 ). The disc arm (160) moves in the slit (151 ) on the axis of rotation with the full rotation movement of the disc (120) and moves the drive frame (150) between the drive shaft (140) linearly. Thereby, the drive shaft (140), which moves linearly with the drive frame (150), moves the blower hose (100) linearly in the channel (121 ).

The working principle of the product display stand dust removal system, which is the subject of the invention, is as follows;

If the product that the consumer desires to buy is on the rack (20) located above, below or at the back in the chassis (10), the button (60) is pressed. With the operation of the engine (30), the gears (40) rotate. This rotational movement is transferred to the racks (20) by means of the chain (50) on the gears (40). Racks (20) move up and down cyclically within the chassis (10) together with the chain (50). And while the racks (20) at the front of the chassis (10) move towards the rear in an up or down direction, the racks (20) at the rear move to the front. The rack (20) where the product to be purchased is located in front of the consumer and the consumer can easily take the product.

The circular motion engine (1 10) positioned on the chassis (10) is started and the disc (120) rotates. With the rotation of the disc (120), the disc arm (160) moves in the slit (151 ) on the axis of rotation and the drive frame (150) between the drive shaft (140) is linearly moved. The drive shaft (140), which moves linearly with the drive frame (150), moves the blower hose (100) linearly in the channel (121 ). When the compressor (70) is turned on, compressed (70) air is blown from one end while air is vacuumed from the other.

While the blower hose (100), which is connected to the compressed air blowing end of the compressor (70), moves linearly in the channel (121 ) with the linear movement of the drive shaft (140), it ventilates the dust that has accumulated on the racks (20) as they move up and down in a cyclical manner. Meanwhile, the vacuum hood (80), which is attached to the end of the compressor (70) that vacuums the air with the suction hose (90), vacuums the dust accumulated on the moving racks (20). Thereby, the racks (20) and the products displayed on the racks (20) are cleaned.
