Abstract

A sales and presentation area is described, having individual sales and presentation regions ( 1, 2 ), a first part ( 1 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1, 2 ) being arranged in such a way that it at least partially encloses an essentially circular region and a second part ( 2 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1, 2 ) being arranged in such a way that it at least partially covers an essentially circular region, the region at least partially covered by the second part ( 2 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1, 2 ) having a smaller outer circumference than the outer circumference of the region which is at least partially enclosed by the first part ( 1 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1, 2 ), so that an essentially annular region ( 3 ) is defined between the first part ( 1 ) and the second part ( 2 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1, 2 ). As described, the essentially annular region ( 3 ) is rotatably mounted in the horizontal direction.

1 . A sales and presentation area having individual sales and presentation regions ( 1 ,  2 ), a first part ( 1 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1 ,  2 ) being arranged in such a way that it at least partially encloses an essentially circular region and a second part ( 2 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1 ,  2 ) being arranged in such a way that it at least partially covers an essentially circular region, the region at least partially covered by the second part ( 2 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1 ,  2 ) having a smaller outer circumference than the outer circumference of the region which is at least partially enclosed by the first part ( 1 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1 ,  2 ), so that an essentially annular region ( 3 ) is defined between the first part ( 1 ) and the second part ( 2 ) of the sales and presentation regions ( 1 ,  2 ), wherein the essentially annular region ( 3 ) is rotatably mounted in the horizontal direction and divided into ring segments ( 3   seg ), which are movable in the vertical direction via lifting and lowering devices ( 4 ).  
   
   
       2 . The sales and presentation area according to  claim 1 , wherein the lifting and lowering devices ( 4 ) are implemented as lifting stages, over which the ring segments ( 3   seg ) slide in the course of the rotational movement of the annular region ( 3 ) and on which the ring segments ( 3   seg ) rest during a standstill of the annular region ( 3 ).  
   
   
       3 . The sales and presentation area according to  claim 1 , wherein rooms ( 5   a ,  5   b ), into which the ring segments ( 3   seg ) may be pushed in the radial direction if the lifting stages ( 4 ) are correspondingly lowered, are provided below the sales and presentation regions ( 1 ,  2 ).  
   
   
       4 . The sales and presentation area according to  claim 1 , wherein multiple rooms ( 5   a ,  5   b ), into which the ring segments ( 3   seg ) may be pushed in the radial direction if the lifting stages ( 4 ) are correspondingly lowered, are positioned one below another under the sales and presentation regions ( 1 ,  2 ).  
   
   
       5 . The sales and presentation area according to  claim 1 , wherein exactly one lifting and lowering device ( 4 ) is provided.  
   
   
       6 . The sales and presentation area according to  claim 5 , wherein multiple sales and presentation areas are positioned next one another, whose respective annular regions ( 3 ) nearly touch in the region of the respective lifting and lowering devices ( 4 ).  
   
   
       7 . The sales and presentation area according to  claim 1 , wherein the ring segments ( 3   seg ) are differently designed with the aid of light, sound, or smell effects.  
   
   
       8 . The sales and presentation area according to  claim 1 , wherein the ring segments ( 3   seg ) are differently designed with the aid of light, sound, or smell effects.
