Description

  The present invention relates to an article bag storage device for storing articles such as goods at the time of shopping in a bag such as a plastic bag.

  Generally, when you buy a pack of soups such as tofu, meat, fish, pickles, etc., vegetables sold as roses such as pepper and eggplant, or detergents at a supermarket, etc. So that cashiers and shoppers can store the goods, so-called plastic bags (polyethylene bags) are prepared.

  In the past, cashiers and shoppers themselves manually store items in plastic bags. In the case of cashiers, cashiers have opened the bags in advance and prepared items quickly. Was able to be stored in. In addition, when a shopper stores an item, a single poly bag is cut out from the roll-shaped poly bag connecting body, and the bag mouth is opened for storage.

  However, in the case of a plastic bag on a cash register stand, preparations must be made with a large number of plastic bag bag mouths open so that goods can be stored quickly. Met. In addition, when a shopper stores an item, the bag opening of the plastic bag must be opened and stored, which is also troublesome.

Therefore, there is a need for an apparatus that can store items as easily as possible in a plastic bag. As such a thing, it is possible to divert the apparatus (patent document 1) which puts an umbrella in a plastic bag at the time of raining, for example.
Japanese Patent No. 2562806

  However, since the umbrellas are almost the same size, the bag opening device may be relatively simple, but is not suitable for items that are not of constant size, such as shopping items.

  The present invention has been established in view of the above circumstances, and provides a bag storage device for articles that can easily and easily store thin articles and thick articles such as shopping items in a storage bag. Is the subject.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the bag storage device for articles according to the present invention can rotate the opening means for opening the bag mouth of the storage bag at the front end of the device body in which a large number of storage bags are superposed. In the bag storage device for an article provided in the above, the opening means includes a main guide that is rotatably provided at a position far from the bag mouth, and a position that is foldably connected to the main guide and is close to the opening. A tip guide provided on the storage bag, and when the article is put in, the article is applied to the opening means and rotated to insert the tip of the tip guide into the bag mouth of the storage bag and open the article. The bag is stored in the storage bag through the bag mouth.

  In addition, it is preferable to form a notch part in the both ends by the side of the bag mouth of the said storage bag of the opening part of the said apparatus main body.

  Further, it is preferable that a bag presser smaller than the width of the storage bag is formed on the opening side of the apparatus main body on the side opposite to the bag mouth of the storage bag.

  Furthermore, it is desirable that a forming guide port for guiding the size of the article to be placed in the storage bag and the position for placing the article is formed in the apparatus main body.

  Moreover, it is preferable that a protrusion is provided on the apparatus main body at a position slightly lower than a position facing the opening means.

  Further, it is preferable that side guides are pivotally attached to both sides of the tip guide, and when the article is inserted, the side guides are inserted into the bag mouth of the storage bag together with the tip guide.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the opening means for opening the bag opening of the storage bag includes a main guide that is pivotally provided at a position far from the bag opening, and is connected to the main guide so as to be bent. And a tip guide provided at a position close to the portion, and when the article is inserted, the tip of the tip guide is inserted into the bag mouth of the storage bag by opening the article against the opening means and rotating. At the same time, since the article is stored in the storage bag from the bag mouth, the tip guide is first rotated, and when storing a thin article, the main guide is slightly rotated to store a thick article. When doing so, the main guide will be greatly rotated, so that it is not affected much by the thickness of the article and can be easily and easily stored.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the notch portions are formed at both ends of the opening portion of the apparatus body on the bag mouth side of the storage bag, when the center portion of the bag mouth is pulled out by the tip guide, Both ends of the mouth can follow the center. For this reason, a bag mouth opens smoothly and goods can be securely stored inside.

  According to the invention of claim 3, since the bag holding portion smaller than the width of the storage bag is formed on the opening side of the apparatus main body on the side opposite to the bag mouth of the storage bag, the tip guide is Even if the bag enters the bag mouth and the main guide rotates and the front sheet of the storage bag is pulled forward, both sides of the plastic bag are not pressed forward by the bag pressing portion. For this reason, a bag mouth opens reliably and can accept articles | goods.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the apparatus main body is formed with the introduction guide port for guiding the size of the article into the storage bag and the input position of the article. Smaller and wider items can be inserted into the bag mouth of a plastic bag, whether they are wide and thin, or narrow and thick, and the item can only be loaded only through the above-mentioned loading guide port. Can be satisfactorily prevented from hitting the end of the bag mouth.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, by forming the gap between the main guide and the front surface of the apparatus main body so as to be wider than the thickness of the finger, it is reliably prevented that the finger is pinched. Further, since the protrusion is provided on the front surface of the apparatus main body, when the thin product is put in, the protrusion cannot obstruct and be dropped straight. Once the item is moved away from the front of the main unit and hitting the main guide, it must be dropped. For this reason, since the main guide and the tip guide are rotated as a whole, the bag mouth is sufficiently opened, and even a thin product can be reliably stored in the plastic bag.

  According to the invention of claim 6, since the side guides are rotatably attached to both sides of the tip guide, and when the article is put in, the side guide is inserted into the bag mouth of the storage bag together with the tip guide. When throwing a wide and thin article, since the tip guide and the side guide are simultaneously inserted into the bag mouth, the storage bag is opened in a wide state from side to side. In the case of thick items, the side guides move in the same direction as the tip guide moves further away from the front of the main unit. The guide also bends with respect to the main guide. Therefore, the height of the bag mouth is increased. In addition, the spring force and the bag mouth tension balance, and the side guide acts to widen the bag mouth to the full extent. Therefore, even a thick article can be sufficiently put into the bag mouth.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a bag storage apparatus for goods, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof. The bag storage apparatus is mounted on the apparatus main body 1 in a state where a large number of storage bags 10 are superposed. The opening means 3 for opening the bag mouth 11 of the storage bag (polybag) 10 at the tip is rotatably provided in the opening 2 of the apparatus main body 1.

  The apparatus main body 1 has a box shape, and a storage portion 4 is formed in which the plastic bag 10 is stored in a stacked state. An opening 2 is formed on the front surface of the apparatus main body 1. The size of the opening 2 is set to be smaller than the size of the plastic bag 10.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the plastic bag 10 has two sheets 10 a and 10 b that are lower on the front side and higher on the back side, and the bottoms are joined to each other. A pair of holes 12 is formed in the upper part of the back sheet 10b. A perforation 13 is formed on each hole 12.

  On the back side of the front plate above the opening 2, a plastic bag supporting rod 17 is projected, and the rod 17 penetrates the hole 12 of the overlaid plastic bag 10 so that the plastic bag 10 is suspended. Wearing.

  The back side of the plastic bag 10 is pressed to the front side by the pressing plate 7. A guide rod 5 protrudes from the back side of the pressing plate 7, and a spring 6 is attached to the back plate guide rod 5 of the apparatus body 1. By this spring 6, the pressing plate 7 is always urged forward.

  The upper edge of the opening 2 is formed to be slightly higher than the height of the front side sheet 10a of the frontmost (tip) plastic bag 10. The width of the opening 2 is formed to be substantially the same as the width of the plastic bag 10. What is necessary is just to form so that when the foremost plastic bag 10 is removed from the rod 17, the bag mouth 11 of the next plastic bag 10 is exposed.

  The opening means 3 for the bag mouth 11 of the plastic bag 10 includes a main guide 3 a provided at a position far from the device main body 1 of the bracket 8 projecting forward from both upper sides of the device main body 1, and a position close to the bag mouth 11. It is comprised by the front-end | tip guide 3b provided in this. The front ends of the brackets 8 on both sides are connected by a support shaft 9 and a stopper 14 below the support shaft 9.

  The main guide 3a is formed in a plate shape and is rotatably attached to the center of the support shaft 9. A right-angled bent piece 15 is formed at one end of the main guide 3a, and the back side is formed so as to contact the stopper 14. A square plate 16 is fixed to the inner corners of the main guide 3 a and the bent piece 15. A fitting hole is formed in the rectangular plate 16, and the main guide 3 a is rotatably supported by the support shaft 9 by fitting the support shaft 9 into the fitting hole. In addition, a string spring 18 is attached to the support shaft 9, the bent piece 15 of the main guide 3a hits the stopper 14, and the main guide 3a is always urged so as to be in a horizontal state.

  The main guide 3a is formed to such an extent that the end on the apparatus main body 1 side extends to a front position on the front surface of the apparatus main body 1 when in the horizontal state. A plate-like tip guide 3b is pivotally attached to the end of the main guide 3a on the apparatus main body 1 side via a pivot shaft 19, and the tip guide 3b is foldably connected to the main guide 3a. ing. A string spring 20 is also attached to the rotating shaft 19 and always urges the tip guide 3b to flip upward. Normally, the main guide 3a is in a horizontal state, and the tip guide 3b is configured to be positioned above the bag mouth 11 of the plastic bag 10 exposed at the front opening 2 of the apparatus main body 1.

  Next, the usage mode of the bag storage apparatus having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. When storing the product a purchased at a supermarket or the like in the plastic bag 10, if the product a is dropped onto the opening means 3, the opening means 3 is rotated downward and tilted. The plastic bag 10 slides down along the front surface. On the way, the tip of the tip guide 3b is inserted into the bag mouth 11 of the plastic bag 10, and further, as the main guide 3a rotates, the tip guide 3b moves in a direction away from the plastic bag 10. Therefore, the bag mouth 11 is pulled out and the mouth is greatly expanded. The article a is further lowered by being guided by the tip guide 3b, and is stored in the poly bag 10 from the inside of the bag mouth 11. When the product a is lowered to the bottom of the plastic bag 10 and the plastic bag 10 is forcibly pulled together with the product a, the hole 12 of the sheet 10b on the back side of the plastic bag 10 is broken from the perforation 13 and detached from the rod. . Thereafter, the plastic bag 10 containing the item a may be placed in a shopping basket or shopping bag.

  As described above, when the article a is dropped into the main guide 3a, the main guide 3a is inclined, and the tip guide 3b is moved in the middle of the plastic bag 10 while the tip of the tip guide 3 slides along the front surface of the frontmost plastic bag 10. The bag mouth 11 is entered, the bag mouth 11 is pulled out, and the mouth is greatly expanded. However, as shown in FIG. 8, when the upper edge 2 a of the front opening 2 of the apparatus body 1 is simply formed in a straight line, both ends of the bag mouth 11 are held by the upper edge of the opening 2. Therefore, it is difficult for the tip guide 3b to be pulled out when the bag mouth 11 is pulled out. For this reason, for example, when the product a is dropped drastically, both ends of the bag mouth 11 may be pulled and cut or deformed.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, notches 21 that are continuous with the opening 2 are formed at the left and right ends of the upper edge of the opening 2. The notch 21 is formed to be higher than the height of the opening 11 of the foremost plastic bag 10. Moreover, the dimension between the outer edge parts of the notch part 21 of the both sides is formed so that it may become the same as the width | variety of the plastic bag 10, or larger than it.

  According to the above configuration, both ends of the bag mouth 11 are free by the notch portions 21 of the opening 2. Therefore, when the center portion of the bag mouth 11 is pulled out by the tip guide 3b, both ends of the bag mouth 11 are drawn. Can follow the center. For this reason, the bag mouth 11 opens smoothly and the goods a can be reliably accommodated inside.

  By the way, when the width of the opening 2 is equal to or larger than the width of the plastic bag 10, when storing a thick product a, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. As 3b enters the bag mouth 11, the main guide 3a rotates and the front end guide 3b moves forward, the front sheet 10a of the plastic bag 10 is also pulled forward, thereby opening the bag mouth 11 wide. It is supposed to be followed. However, the front sheet 10a and the back sheet 10b are in close contact with each other, and the rear poly bag 10 overlapping the front plastic bag 10 is also in close contact with static electricity. Accordingly, when the front sheet 10a is pulled forward, the back sheet 10b is also pulled forward, so that the height of the bag mouth 11 is kept low and cannot be opened well. Further, when the tip guide 3b descends to the lowermost end and then rises, the front sheet 10a of the next-stage plastic bag 10 is lifted up, and the tip of the tip guide 3b is well aligned when stored in the next stage. There are cases where the bag mouth 11 of the plastic bag 10 cannot enter.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, on both sides of the lower portion of the opening 2, a bag presser 22 that presses both sides of the front surface of the plastic bag 10 stored in the storage 4 is formed. The dimension between the bag retainers 22 is set to be smaller than the width of the plastic bag 10.

  Here, the bag pressing portion may be only on one side of the opening, and the bag pressing portion may have a shape for partially pressing the bag.

  According to the above configuration, even if the front end guide 3b enters the bag opening 11 and the main guide 3a rotates and the front sheet 10a is pulled forward, the lower portions on both sides of the plastic bag 10 are pressed by the bag pressing portion 22. Therefore, the both side portions of the storage bag 10 are not pulled forward. For this reason, the height of the bag mouth 11 becomes sufficient and can open, and the goods a can be received. Further, after the leading end guide 3b descends to the lowest end and the plastic bag 10 is removed, the next-order plastic bag 10 appears at the front, and both sides of the plastic bag 10 are also held by the bag pressing portion 22. Therefore, the disadvantage that the front sheet 10a of the plastic bag 10 is lifted when the tip guide 3b is raised is prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, when the product a is put in, if the product a is moved to one side and dropped, the product a may hit the end of the bag mouth 11 and may not be stored well. . Similarly, an article a wider than the bag mouth 11 cannot be put into the bag mouth 11 of the plastic bag 10.

  Therefore, an upper plate 23 for guiding the size of the product a that can be stored in the plastic bag 10 and the input position of the product a as shown in FIG. 15 is disposed on the main guide 3a. The upper plate 23 is formed with a charging guide port 24. The guide port 24 is formed in a trapezoidal shape with the front surface of the apparatus main body 1 as the bottom and the top guide 3b when the bag port 11 is pulled out to the maximum.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, if the product a is smaller than the opening area S of the guide port 24, a wide and thin product, a narrow and thick product, should be put into the bag port 11 of the plastic bag 10. In addition, since the product a can always be introduced only from the guide port 24, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the product a from hitting the end of the bag port 11.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the finger 25 may be pinched between the main guide 3 a and the front surface of the apparatus main body 1 when a particularly thin item a <b> 1 is inserted. As a countermeasure, the distance between the main guide 3a and the front surface of the apparatus main body 1 may be widened. However, when the interval is widened, as shown in FIG. 18, when an item a thinner than this interval is inserted, the item a does not hit the main guide 3a, and therefore the main guide 3a cannot rotate. For this reason, there exists a problem that the bag mouth 11 cannot be opened.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19, the protrusion 26 is provided at a position slightly lower than the position facing the opening means 3 on the front surface of the apparatus main body 1. Further, the distance between the main guide 3 a and the front surface of the apparatus main body 1 is formed to be wider than the thickness of the finger 25.

  According to the above configuration, since the distance between the main guide 3a and the front surface of the apparatus main body 1 is formed to be wider than the thickness of the finger 25, the finger 25 is sandwiched as shown in FIG. It is certainly prevented. Further, since the protrusion 26 is provided on the front surface of the apparatus main body 1, when the thin article a <b> 1 is put in, the protrusion 26 cannot obstruct and drop it straight. Once the article a1 is separated from the front surface of the apparatus main body 1, it must be dropped while being moved so as to hit the main guide 3a. For this reason, since the main guide 3a and the tip guide 3b rotate as a whole, the bag mouth 11 is sufficiently opened, and even a thin item a1 can be reliably stored in the plastic bag 10.

  Moreover, when throwing in the wide and thin goods a1, it is necessary to open the bag mouth 11 widely. For this purpose, it is necessary to increase the width of the tip guide 3b. However, if the front end guide 3b is widened, the height of the bag mouth 11 cannot be increased, so that there is a problem that it is not possible to deal with the case where a narrow and thick product a is introduced.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21, side guides 3c are rotatably attached to both sides of the tip guide 3b. The side guide 3c is smaller than the tip guide 3b, and is connected to the tip guide 3b via a rotating shaft 27 disposed slightly inside the both side ends of the tip guide 3b. The side guide 3c is always urged by the spring 28 attached to the rotating shaft 27 so as to be the same as the surface direction of the tip guide 3b. Further, the total width of the tip guide 3 b and the side guide 3 c is formed to be slightly smaller than the width of the bag mouth 11 of the plastic bag 10.

  According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, when a wide and thin product a1 is introduced, the main guide 3a rotates while contacting the thin product a1, and the lower end of the product is moved to the tip guide 3b. When dropped, the tip guide 3b and the side guide 3c are simultaneously inserted into the bag mouth 11, but the tip guide 3b moves away from the front surface of the apparatus main body 1 as it rotates downward about the rotation shaft 27. Moving. At the same time, the side guide 3c also moves in the same direction. Along with this, the bag mouth 11 of the plastic bag 10 is opened in a wide state on the left and right. Therefore, the wide and thin article a1 can be sufficiently placed in the bag mouth 11.

  Further, in the case of the thick product a2, as shown in FIG. 24, the main guide 3a rotates greatly, so that the tip guide 3b moves farther away from the front surface of the apparatus main body 1. At the same time, the side guide 3c also moves in the same direction. However, the left and right sides of the front sheet 10a of the plastic bag 10 are squeezed accordingly, so that the side guide 3c is also rotated with respect to the main guide 3a and bent. Therefore, the height of the bag mouth 11 is increased. Moreover, the force of the spring 28 and the tension of the bag mouth 11 are balanced, and the side guide 3c acts to widen the bag mouth 11 to the full extent. Therefore, even the thick product a2 can be sufficiently put into the bag mouth 11.

  The side guide 3c may be formed integrally with a synthetic resin plate or the like instead of being separated from the tip guide 3b so that the side guide 3c bends with respect to the tip guide 3b.

  However, when the side guides 3c can be bent on both sides of the tip guide 3b so that the opening width can be adjusted in accordance with the opening height of the bag mouth 11, as shown in FIG. Since it is arrange | positioned at the side of the goods a thrown into the opening | mouth 11, the goods a may hit on the rotating shaft 27, and may be damaged.

  In order to prevent such an inconvenience from occurring, as shown in FIG. 26, the tip 29 of the main guide 3a may be protruded from the mounting position of the rotating shaft 27 of the tip guide 3b. According to this, when the product a is put into the bag mouth 11, the rotation shaft portions of the tip guide 3b and the side guide 3c are located away from the product a, so that the product a may hit the protrusion of the rotation shaft portion. It disappears and does not get scratched.

  The rotating shaft 27 may be covered with a synthetic resin cover material (not shown).

  The article storage bag is not limited to polyethylene, but may be other synthetic resin bags, paper bags, or the like.

  Further, the apparatus main body may be used in a lateral or inclined configuration.
