DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for paying out displayed articles, and more particularly, to an article which is installed in various types of playgrounds, customer gatherings, etc., and which is stored and displayed so as to be distinguished by inserting money or exclusive coins. The present invention relates to a dispensing apparatus for a displayed article, which can directly or indirectly pay out an actual article for an article sample stored and displayed identifiably.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of display article dispensing apparatus, for example, not only various articles placed on a plurality of article mounting tables or various articles suspended on a plurality of article hanging members, There are various types of goods, such as a desired article that can be paid out by inserting money or exclusive coins through a crane device from a plurality of articles, and are installed in various types of playgrounds and customer gathering areas. Generally, a dispensing device of a type capable of directly or indirectly dispensing an article stored and displayed identifiably and a type capable of directly or indirectly discharging an actual article for an article sample stored and displayed identifiably. Are generally divided into dispensing devices.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned conventional display article dispensing apparatus has the following problems.

That is, the above-mentioned conventional display article dispensing apparatus generally places articles such as various popular character products and fashionable goods on, for example, a plurality of article mounting tables or suspends a plurality of articles. Most types are equipped with a display cover such as transparent glass or transparent resin so that anyone can easily identify the stored articles by hanging them on a member. If the device satisfies various conditions such as the production cost of the dispensing device, the installation space, as well as the number of articles to be stored, the dispensing device inevitably has the appearance of a box, column, etc. It will be limited to.

Therefore, it is difficult to provide the appearance itself of the dispensing device with the customer attracting property in any of the above types. Therefore, in the recent paying device, the customer attracting property is enhanced by the background of the stored articles. In order not only to equip or illuminate designs, pictures, photographs, etc. related to various popular character products and trendy goods, but also to install roulette and various types of amusement devices, etc. Despite having a great deal of added value, the popularity of various popular character products and fashionable goods is very short-lived in many cases, so that the popularity and fashion have passed in a few months.

[0006] Therefore, despite the fact that the display device dispensing apparatus main body functions without any problem, the installation person of the dispensing apparatus is required to provide a design and a picture related to the next popular character goods and fashionable goods. In addition, it is necessary to newly purchase a dispensing device provided with a photograph or the like every predetermined period, and thus there has been a problem that a short-term investment significantly impairs the profit of the installer.

Accordingly, the present invention solves the above-described problem, and at least one of a part or the whole of a background of an article stored and displayed in a dispensing apparatus main body or a sample of an article stored and displayed is disclosed. By making it possible to replace or change the article without touching it, the background replacement work can be performed very easily and instantaneously without damaging the article or the sample of the article by direct contact, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent display article dispensing device that gives an added value of attracting customers to the dispensing device itself by keeping the person interested, thereby enabling a long life of the dispensing device itself to be maintained. It is assumed that.

[0008]

That is, an apparatus for dispensing displayed articles according to the present invention can directly or indirectly pay out an actual article 5 via an article 5 or an article sample 11 stored and displayed in an identifiable manner. In addition, at least one of a part or the whole of the background of the stored article 5 or the article sample 11 can be replaced or changed without touching the article 5.

Therefore, there is a situation in which the article 5 to be handled must be changed because the cycle of popularity of the article 5 such as various popular character goods and fashionable goods pre-stored in the display article dispensing apparatus body is short-lived or the like. Even if it occurs, the dispensing device body 1a
It is not necessary to replace with the new dispensing device main body 1a that stores the goods 5 such as the next popular character goods and fashionable goods, and it is replaced with the dispensing device main body 1a that has been used so far. By replacing or changing at least one of a part or the whole of the background of the sample 11 of the article to be displayed without touching the article, the sample of the replaced article 5 or the sample of the article
Although there is an operational advantage that the background replacement work by the clerk or the like can be performed very easily and instantaneously without causing any damage due to direct contact to the part 11, a part of the background is always required only when the article 5 is replaced. Or it is not necessary to replace or change the whole, for example, the background 7 is an annual event such as Christmas, New Year, various celebrations and festivals, and a pattern that effectively creates a sense of season based on the four seasons,
By using the background 7 including pictures, photographs, and the like as needed, there is also an advantage in business and management that an extremely wide range of age groups can be targeted to customers regardless of age or gender.

[0010] Further, even in the case where the goods 5 or the sample 11 of the next popular character goods or fashionable goods are replaced and stored and displayed in the dispensing apparatus main body 1a which has been used so far, even if the background 7 is stored. Since at least one of the section and the whole can be replaced or changed without touching the article 5, it is possible to interest the article player or the like, and thus to give the added value of attracting customers to the apparatus itself. There is an operational advantage that the life of the device itself can be maintained for a long period of time, and as a result, the profit of the installer can be improved.

Furthermore, since the background of the article 5 can be changed by scrolling, there is an operational advantage that the background replacement work by a clerk or the like can be performed very easily and instantaneously. For example, when the scroll is automatically operated at regular intervals without manual intervention, it is possible to further attract the interest of a player or the like, and a new customer attracting property can be added to the device. There are advantages.

Also, since the background of the article 5 or the background of the article sample 11 is configured to be replaceable or changeable via the holder 13, anyone can easily use the background member with the design, picture, photograph, etc. There is an operational advantage that can be attached and detached via the holder 13.

Further, since the holder 13 is a clip body, it is possible to use a sheet-like or plate-like background member with a design, a picture, a photograph, and the like. In addition, there is an operational advantage that posters such as photographs and pictures can be easily used, and the running cost of the apparatus can be reduced.

Further, since the holder 13 is configured to be able to be taken out from the dispensing device main body 1a, a background member with a design, a picture, a photograph, etc. can be very easily attached via the holder 13 taken out from the device. There is an operational advantage that it can be detachably mounted.

Further, since the dispensing device main body 1a is provided with operating means for activating the predetermined game device 9 when dispensing an article, it is possible to further draw the interest of a player or the like. There is a business advantage that can further improve customer attraction.
