Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electronic shelf label displaying information related to a product, such as a product name and a product price, by an electrically driven display panel.
  • Such an electronic shelf label uses, for example, a liquid crystal panel as a display panel, and displays on this display panel information related to a product, such as a product name and a product price.
  • the above-described paper or plastic price tags require a laborious operation for replacing price tags.
  • the information displayed on the display panel can be easily changed while it is placed on a product shelf, and thus a work load on a shop clerk can be reduced largely.
  • the pricing of sales items can be changed quickly from normal pricing to sales pricing, thereby allowing to sell products without missing a sales opportunity.
  • Patent Document 3 As an art to address such a problem, as described in Patent Document 3 for example, one providing an electronic shelf label with a movable pin as a member for engaging with a rail is known.
  • the electronic shelf label described in PTL3 when being attached to the rail, is fitted in the rail with the pin being pushed inside, and the push is released at a predetermined position to allow the pin to project from the main body to be inserted in a hole provided in the rail, thereby firmly fixing the label to the rail.
  • a release tool having a magnet is placed closely, which draws the pin into the main body by magnetic force to pull the pin out of the hole provided in the rail, thereby releasing fixation to the rail. Therefore, it is possible to achieve, to a certain degree, both easiness of attaching to and detaching from the rail and prevention of theft by unauthorized removal.
  • the magnet since the magnet is used for removal, there is a risk of electromagnetic interference occurring in a control circuit or the like by the use of the magnet. Further, the release tool having the magnet has a large size and a heavy weight and hence is of poor portability. Moreover, the part to which magnetic force operates is formed of metal, and thus, when the electronic shelf label is provided with a wireless communication function, the metal may cause interference in wireless communication.
  • EP 0 683 478 A2 discloses a generic eletronic shelf label according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the conventional electronic shelf labels described above all have a problem that both the easiness of attachment to and detachment from a product shelf and the theft prevention are not achieved sufficiently.
  • the invention is made in view of the above-described points, and an object thereof is to enable to prevent theft of an electronic shelf label without impairing an advantage of easiness of attachment to and detachment from a product shelf.
  • the invention provides an electronic shelf label according to claim 1, displaying information related to a product by an electrically driven display panel, including: as fixing means for detachably fixing the electronic shelf label to a rail provided on a product shelf, a first and a second engagement portions for engaging with an engagement portion provided on a side face of the rail; and an applying means for applying force to the first engagement portion in a direction toward the side face of the rail in a state of being fixed to the rail, and further including: a key hole into which a thin plate-shaped key for releasing fixation of the electronic shelf label to the rail by the fixing means is inserted; and an arm portion provided at a position abutting on the key inserted in the key hole, the arm portion being displaced by a load applied by the key in response to insertion of the key and, accompanying this displacement, displacing the first engagement portion in a direction to depart from the side face of the rail against the bias by the applying means.
  • the key hole is formed such that the key is inserted substantially perpendicularly to a bottom face of the rail and in a direction along a side face of the electronic shelf label perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the rail.
  • the key has a shape which becomes narrower toward a front end thereof at least within a range in which the key abuts on the arm portion when being inserted in the key hole, the force applied by the applying means acts on the arm portion, and when the key is inserted into the key hole, the arm portion is displaced by the key in a manner to be pushed outward with respect to the insertion direction against the force as the key is inserted.
  • the key In a state of being inserted into the key hole until the first engagement portion is displaced to a degree of being released from the engagement portion of the rail, the key is retained between the arm portion and a wall face of the key hole by the force applied by the applying means, and in this state, it is possible to remove the electronic shelf label from the rail using the key as a handle.
  • the first engagement portion and the arm portion are an integrated member rotatably fixed to a rear face side of the electronic shelf label, and when the arm portion abuts on the key and is pushed outward, the member rotates to displace the first engagement portion in a direction to depart from the side face of the rail.
  • the first engagement portion and the arm portion are an integrated member held on a rear face side of the electronic shelf label in a manner slidable along the rear face, and when the arm portion abuts on the key and is pushed outward, the member slides along the rear face of the electronic shelf label to displace the first engagement portion in a direction to depart from the side face of the rail.
  • an obstacle is provided on an inner wall of the key hole, so that only a key having a groove or a cutout corresponding to the obstacle can be inserted into the key hole.
  • the rail is provided, on the side face corresponding to the first engagement portion, with a groove which internally includes a hole, as the engagement portion, and the first engagement portion engages with the groove, and includes a guide pin to be inserted into the hole in the groove.
  • an exterior including the first and the second engagement portions, the arm portion, the applying means, and the key hole is formed of resin.
  • Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are respectively external perspective views of a front face side and a rear face side of an electronic shelf label 1, which is the first embodiment of the electronic shelf label of the invention.
  • the electronic shelf label 1 illustrated in Fig. 1 has a display panel 2 in a front face.
  • This display panel 2 is an electrically driven display means for displaying information related to a product, such as a product name and price, and is formed of a liquid crystal panel here.
  • a control unit (omitted from illustration) realized by a microcomputer constituted of a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, and this control unit performs display control processing of the display panel 2.
  • This control unit is housed in a housing portion 8.
  • fixing means for detachably fixing this electronic shelf label 1 to a rail provided on a product shelf for displaying products are provided.
  • a first fixing means is a lock plate 3 attached to an upper portion of a rear face side.
  • an engagement portion 3b and a guide pin 3a are fitted in a groove which is an engagement portion provided in the rail and a hole provided in the groove, respectively, to allow engagement therebetween. Then, by this engagement, the electronic shelf label 1 is fixed so as not to disengage from the rail and also not to move on the rail along the rail.
  • This lock plate 3 is rotatable about a shaft 7 with the shaft 7 being a fulcrum, and when an arm portion 3e is rotated and displaced upward in the view, the engagement portion 3b and the guide pin 3a are rotated and displaced downward in the view to be in a state of being housed in a housing rack 4.
  • the engagement portion 3b corresponds to a first engagement portion.
  • a second fixing means is two hooks 5a and 5b provided on a lower portion of the rear face, and front end portions thereof are hooked on and engaged with an engagement portion provided on a side face of the rail of the product shelf opposite to the groove with which the engagement portion 3b is engaged, to thereby fix the electronic shelf label 1 so as not to disengage from the rail.
  • These hooks 5a and 5b correspond to a second engagement portion.
  • a key attaching portion 6 in which a key is inserted for releasing the fixation by the lock plate 3 to remove the electronic shelf label 1 from the rail.

  • the lock plate 3 is an integrally molded member made up of an arm portion 3c having the above-described guide pin 3a and engagement portion 3b, a spring portion 3d, and the other arm portion 3e, and has a shaft hole 3f between the arm portions 3c and 3e. Then, by fitting the shaft hole 3f with the shaft 7 provided on the rear face of the electronic shelf label 1 to attach the lock plate, the lock plate 3 is made rotatable about the shaft 7.
  • the spring portion 3d of the lock plate 3 is provided on a lower side of the arm portion 3c in the view, and a front end portion thereof abuts on a bottom face inside the housing rack 4. Then, the spring portion 3d functions as an applying means for applying force to the arm portion 3c of the lock plate 3 from the lower side thereby applying force in arrow A direction. In addition, the spring portion 3d may be fixed to the bottom face inside the housing rack 4.
  • the other arm portion 3e of the lock plate 3 has a front end portion inserted in a slit 6b of the key attaching portion 6.
  • the lock plate 3 rotates in the arrow A direction to a position where a lower face of the arm portion 3e abuts on a lower face of the slit 6b by the force from the spring portion 3d.
  • the lock plate 3 stops at a position, as illustrated in Fig. 2 , preferable for engaging the guide pin 3a and the engagement portion 3b with the groove provided in the rail (this position is illustrated with solid lines (a portion hidden by the housing rack 4 is illustrated with dashed line) in Fig. 3 ).
  • the key attaching portion 6 has a key hole 6a which is provided on a side face of the electronic shelf label 1 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rail in the state of being fixed to the rail, and in which a thin plate-shaped key is inserted, and the above-described slit 6b for restricting the movable range of the arm portion 3e.
  • the key hole 6a is formed so that the key is inserted thereinto in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bottom face of the rail and along the side face of the electronic shelf label 1.
  • the arm portion 3c of the lock plate 3 is housed in the housing rack 4, and the front end portion of the other arm portion 3e is inserted in the slit 6b, thereby making the lock plate 3 less likely to be dropped from the shaft 7.
  • Fig. 4A is an external perspective view of the key, and Fig. 4B is a side view of the same.
  • the key 10 is a flat plate-shaped member made of resin for example and is, as illustrated in Fig. 4A , a flat thin plate member having a thickness which is about equal to the width of the key hole 6a of the electronic shelf label 1.
  • the key 10 when the key 10 is inserted in the key hole 6a, an upper face of the key abuts on the lower face of the arm portion 3e of the lock plate 3, but as illustrated in Fig. 4B , in a longitudinal direction, the key has a shape which becomes narrower toward its front end within a range in which a front end portion 10a abuts on the lower face of the arm portion 3e of the lock plate 3.
  • Fig. 5A and Fig. 5B are explanatory views of a procedure and a fixing state in the case of fixing the electronic shelf label 1 to the rail.
  • Fig. 5A illustrates a state where a lower portion of the electronic shelf label 1 is inserted in a lower side of the rail
  • Fig. 5B illustrates a state where the fixing of the electronic shelf label 1 to the rail is completed.
  • the rail is illustrated as a cross section.
  • a groove 20a which is the engagement portion for engaging with the engagement portion 3b of the lock plate 3 of the electronic shelf label 1 is provided, and plural holes 20b for fitting the guide pin 3a are provided in a bottom of the groove 20a at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the rail 20. Further, a side face of a lower side of the rail 20, a groove 20c which is the engagement portion for engaging with the hooks 5a and 5b of the electronic shelf label 1 is provided.
  • the guide pin 3a of the electronic shelf label 1 is brought to abut on eaves 20d of the upper side of the rail 20, and force is applied to press an upper portion of the electronic shelf label 1 in arrow D direction in the view, so as to push the upper portion of the electronic shelf label 1 into the rail 20. Then, the guide pin 3a is pressed gradually by an inclined face of the eaves 20d, and the arm portion 3c provided with the engagement portion 3b and the guide pin 3a of the lock plate 3 is gradually pushed down in a downward direction in the view against the force from the spring portion 3d (rotates about the shaft 7 illustrated in Fig. 7 ).
  • the electronic shelf label 1 is in a state of being fixed slidably in the longitudinal direction in the rail 20.
  • Such operation to fix the electronic shelf label 1 to the rail 20 can be performed easily by one hand, and thus the fixing operation can be performed efficiently.
  • Fig. 6A to Fig. 6C are views for describing a procedure in the case of removing the electronic shelf label 1 from the rail.
  • Fig. 6A is a side view illustrating a state before the key is inserted into the key hole of the electronic shelf label

  • the lock plate 3 rotates to be displaced in a direction such that the engagement portion 3b moves away from the groove 20a against the force from the spring portion and the guide pin 3a moves away from the hole 20b (arrow B direction illustrated in Fig. 3 ).
  • the electronic shelf label 1 can be removed completely from the rail 20.
  • the key 10 can be pulled out from the key hole 6a with a similar degree of force to insertion, although there is a slight resistance, by applying force in a direction reverse to that of insertion.
  • the force to be applied from the hand to the key 10 is mainly in a direction to push the key 10 against the inner side face of the key hole 6a or the arm portion 3e, and thus it is conceivable that pulling off of the key 10 from the key hole 6a by mistake rarely occurs.
  • the size of the key hole 6a and the force from the spring portion 3d are preferred to be set so that such a degree of holding force can be obtained.
  • the electronic shelf label 1 can be removed from the rail 20 by a simple operation using the compact thin-type key, by inserting the key 10 into the key hole 6a, and pulling out the upper portion from the rail 20 in this inserted state as it is.
