Description

  The present invention relates to an upper unit and a display tool that are suitable for efficiently suspending and displaying products on a shelf or the like.

  Conventionally, for example, a store in a business category such as a convenience store has to prepare as many items as possible in a limited space. For this reason, in display fixtures such as shelves, in addition to a predetermined display space, it is often the case that a display place for goods is secured using a frame or the like.

  In such a case, a display device that suspends and supports the merchandise is commonly used. Such a display device extends substantially horizontally from the proximal end side to the distal end side, and can support the product in a suspended state therebetween, and attaches the proximal end side of the support portion to an attachment target such as a shelf. For mounting. Then, the hole formed in the package in which the product is packed is inserted into the support part, or the hook provided attached to the package in which the product is packed is hooked on the support part, and the product is displayed in a suspended state. Like to do. Such a display device may be attached to a plurality of upper and lower stages as required.

Moreover, in order to display a brand name, a price, etc., such a display is often provided with an upper unit attached to the upper side. For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, such a front unit includes a unit main body in which a display unit that extends along the support unit and displays a product or the like on the front end side, and a base of the unit main body. It is usual to integrally have an attachment base that supports the end side on the attachment portion of the display device main body.

  By the way, in this type of store, in order to maximize display efficiency, strict dimension management is performed everywhere in the store. The relationship between the display unit and the upper unit is not an exception, and the gap between the support unit of the display unit and the unit main body of the upper unit is restricted, so that the number of display stages when a plurality of stages are provided vertically is limited. In other words, dimensions that are as lean as possible are required as long as they do not interfere with removal and removal. In addition, the position of the display unit provided on the front end side of the unit main body also hinders the attachment and detachment of the product if the unit main body is long halfway, and hinders walking in the aisle if it is too long. In order to cause such inconveniences, a take-out amount that requires an appropriate offset amount (relative position) from the tip of the support portion is required. Furthermore, a display area having an appropriate width and height corresponding to the product or the like is also required in the display area of the display unit within a range that does not prevent the product from being attached or detached.

  However, such requirements vary depending on the products to be handled, and differ from store to store among different chain stores as well as between similar chain stores. Therefore, the store side using this kind of display equipment has an upper unit length, a display size, etc. suitable for the display mode every time a product is changed or a layout is changed, such as when it is newly opened. There is a disadvantage that the unit has to be newly ordered and the manufacturer has to deal with the order individually.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a new upper unit that enables various display modes simply by using an existing display tool and assembling it, and a concept of such an upper unit. The purpose is to provide a new and useful display tool.

A protruding portion S211 and an inclined portion S212 bent from the distal end side of the extending portion S211 are provided. The diameter of the wire corresponds to the shape of punch holes or hooks provided in the package in order to suspend the product P. The inclined portion S212 orients the front end obliquely forward and upward in a predetermined mounting state to prevent the product from falling off naturally.

  The attachment portion S22 is made of sheet metal having a shape that can be fitted to a display fixture to be attached, for example, a frame of a shelf. In this embodiment, the attachment portion is a square pipe frame. The base end portion is formed into a channel shape including an upper wall S22a that is attached substantially horizontally by welding or the like, and a front wall S22b and a rear wall S22c that are continuous with the upper wall S22a. The front wall S22b is inclined toward the rear wall S22c toward the lower end, and the frame cannot be easily displaced by sandwiching the frame between the front wall S22b and the rear wall S22c due to elasticity by press-fitting the frame inside. Thus, it can be attached to the frame.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the like, the upper unit S1 includes a unit main body 1 extending along the support portion S21, and a base end side of the unit main body 1 at the attachment portion S22 of the display tool main body S2. A mounting base 2 for supporting the unit body 1 and a display unit 3 for displaying a product or the like located on the front end side of the unit main body 1. In particular, in this embodiment, the unit main body 1, the mounting base 2, and the display unit 3 are provided separately from each other, and the unit main body 1 and the mounting base 2 are detachably connected between the mounting base 2 and the display unit 3, respectively. Characterized by points. Moreover, the area | region between the extension part S211 of the support part S21 and the extension part 11 of the unit main body 1 forms the product insertion / removal area t for inserting / removing the product P hung on the support part S21. .

  The unit main body 1 is made of resin molding and has an angle shape in side view where the extension portion 11 and the leg portion 12 cross each other, and a thin plate-like rib 13 is provided at the corner of the crossing portion. A tapered notch 13a is provided. As shown in FIG. 5, the cross sections along the lines AA, BB, CC, DD, and EE in FIG. Whereas two sides are curved in a concave shape (see Fig. (C)) or one side is curved in a concave shape (see Fig. (D)), the base end In the vicinity, the side surface of the transverse section is rectangularly shaped (see FIG. 5E), and has a transverse section H shape in which the lateral wall 122 is continuous above and below the longitudinal wall 121. This portion is a first engaging portion 12a for engaging with the mounting base 2 described later. In addition, the side surface in the cross section of the vicinity of the tip is also shaped like a rectangle (see FIG. 1A), and has a horizontal cross section H shape in which the horizontal wall 112 is continuous above and below the vertical wall 111. The slit ss into which the nail | claw provided in the display part 3 to fit is fitted is formed (refer the figure (b)). Further, the front end of the unit main body 1 is partially cut away from the vertical wall 111 to form a display portion insertion port 113. These portions serve as second engaging portions 11a for engaging with the display portion 3 described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 6, 7 and the like, the mounting base 2 is a channel formed of an upper wall 20a, a front wall 20b and a rear wall 20c, and is externally fitted to the mounting portion S22 from above. Thus, the upper wall 20a, the front wall 20b and the rear wall 20c of the mounting base 2 can be superposed on the upper wall S22a, the front wall S22b and the rear wall S22c of the mounting portion S22, respectively. The upper wall 20a and the front wall 20b are provided with a recessed portion 21 and a long hole 22 that escape from a position avoiding interference with the support portion S21 of the display device S. In addition, the first fitting part 23a for fitting the base end side of the leg part 12 of the unit main body 1 and the lower end side of the rib 13 of the unit main body 1 are provided in a portion extending from the upper wall S20a to the rear wall S20c. A second fitting portion 23b to be fitted is provided so as to open upward. The first fitting portion 23a has a square hole-like inner space into which the leg portion 12 can be inserted relatively tightly and can be engaged with the first engagement portion 12a of the leg portion 12 at the bottom portion. The protrusion 23c is formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the second fitting portion 23b has a flat inner space into which the rib 13 can be inserted relatively closely, and tapers at a portion corresponding to the tapered notch portion 13a of the rib 13. 23d is provided. Then, the base end side of the unit main body 1 is dropped from above, and the lower end of the rib 13 and the tapered notch 13a are in contact with the bottom wall 23e and the tapered protrusion 23d of the second fitting portion 23b. The inner protrusion 23c is engaged with the first engaging portion 12a which is thinner than the periphery, and the leg portion 12 and the rib 13 are not in contact with the inner surfaces of the first fitting portion 23a and the second fitting portion 23b, respectively. It is in close proximity. Therefore, even if an external force acts on the unit body 1 from any direction, a corresponding drag force immediately appears on the inner walls of the first fitting portion 23a and the second fitting portion 23b, and the unit body 1 is moved back and forth. , Support in the three directions of left, right, up and down without backlash. In addition, the appearance of the first engaging portion 12a and the inward projection 23c formed by the inside of the mounting base 2 that is behind the unit body 1 and cannot be seen from the outside is improved, and once fitted. When combined, it is difficult to come off easily, and it is difficult to come off unexpectedly.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 6, 7, and the like, the display unit 2 rotates to the distal end side of the support arm 32, and the support arm 32 whose proximal end is connected to the distal end side of the unit body 1. And a display head 31 that can be freely attached. The support arm 32 is made of resin molding. The support arm 32 includes a head mounting portion 32a branched in a bifurcated shape on the distal end side, and an insertion portion 32b having a longitudinal slit 321 is formed on the proximal end side. An engaging claw 321a is provided inwardly on the inner surface on the distal end side. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A, when the insertion portion 32 b of the support arm 32 is inserted into the display portion insertion port 113 of the unit main body 1 described above, the vertical wall 111 of the unit main body 1 is attached to the support arm 32. The unit body 1 is closely inserted into the vertical slit 321, the base end side of the support arm 32 is sandwiched between the upper and lower horizontal walls 112 of the unit body 1, and the unit body 1 is inserted into the vertical slit 321 at the insertion end of the vertical wall 111. 2 A state in which the engagement claw 321a on the proximal end side of the support arm 32 is engaged with the engagement portion 11a is obtained. Therefore, even if an external force acts on the support arm 32 or the display unit 3 from any direction, a corresponding drag force immediately appears on the vertical wall 111 and the upper and lower horizontal walls 112, and so on. It will be supported without backlash in the upper and lower three directions. Further, the display unit 3 is not easily removed by the engagement between the second engagement portion 11a and the insertion portion 32b, and the engagement is performed inside the unit main body 1 and is engaged. In this state, the unit main body 1 and the support arm 32 are flush with each other, so that the joint portion is hardly noticeable in appearance. The display portion insertion port 113 and the insertion portion 32b are configured so that the engagement is completed within the outer dimensions on the distal end side of the unit body 1 and the outer dimensions on the proximal end side of the support arm 32. As a result, a smooth continuity is ensured on the outer surface of the connection portion at the same time, so that an inadvertent protrusion or step that interferes with the product P or its package when it is inserted or removed is prevented.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the like, the head mounting portion 32a has an inward shaft 322 protruding in the vicinity of the branch end, and the display head 31 is a shaft support portion formed on the back surface on the upper edge side of the display surface 31a. 311 is fitted to the shaft 322, and can rotate 360 degrees around the shaft without interfering with the head mounting portion as shown in FIG.

  The upper unit S1 configured as described above is preferably configured such that all or a part of the portion other than the display head 31 located on the distal end side of the display unit 3 is made of a transparent or translucent resin or other material. Specifically, only the extension part 11 of the unit main body 1 is made of the above material, the extension part 11 and the leg part 12 of the unit main body 1 are made of the above material, and the unit main body 1 is extended. Examples thereof include those in which the support arm 32 of the unit 11 and the display unit 3 is made of the above-mentioned material, and those in which the extension part 11 and the leg 12 of the unit body 1 and the support arm 32 of the display unit 3 are made of the above-mentioned material. The display head 31 is required to ensure visibility in order to display products and the like, while other parts are kept relatively inconspicuous in order to give priority to the visibility of the product P and its package as much as possible. This is because it is desirable. Since the mounting base 2 is in the back, it is considered that there is little direct influence on the visibility. However, in some cases, the mounting base 2 is preferably made of the above-described material.

  By the way, as described above, when this type of display device S is used, as shown in FIG. 2, the clearance CL between the upper end of the inclined portion S212 located on the distal end side of the support portion S21 and the unit body 1, and the inclined portion The dimension required for the offset amount δ of the display unit 3 with respect to the front end of S212, the size (W, D) of the display head 31, and the like, the length d of the extending part S211 of the display device body S2, and the products handled Different depending on P and stores. In order to meet such a demand, this embodiment selectively uses the unit main body 10 and the display unit 30 shown in FIG. 8 as equivalent to the unit main body 1 and the display unit 3 of FIG. The unit main body 10 of FIG. 8 is different from the upper unit S1 of FIG. 2 in the length L of the extending portion 110 including the display unit 30 and the height of the leg 120 constituting the unit main body 10 from the mounting base 2. The dimensions h (width W, height D) of the display unit 30 are large, and any of the unit main bodies 1 and 10 are attached to the common attachment base 2. This is to cope with the case where the length d of the display device main body S2 in FIG. 8 is larger than that in FIG. 2 and a relatively large product P is handled. The display part 30 and the extension part 110 are obstructed when the product P is taken in and out with the round holes and hooks provided in the package of the product P inserted into or suspended from the support part S21. The dimensions are such that there is no waste as long as it is not possible. Of course, if the dimensional differences between the leg parts 12 and 120 and the extension parts 11 and 110 are prepared more abundantly, the carry-out height h and thus the clearance CL and the offset amount δ can be further varied, and the display part 3 , 30 can be easily secured on the distal end side of the extension portions 11, 110, etc., in the display area s.

  As described above, the upper unit S1 of the present embodiment includes the support portion S21 that extends from the proximal end side toward the distal end side and can suspend and support the product P therebetween, and the proximal end of the support portion S21. The display device is used by assembling above the display device main body S2 having the attachment portion S22 for attaching the side to an attachment object such as a display fixture, etc., extending along the support portion S21, etc. A unit main body 1 for taking out the display unit 3 for displaying and a mounting base 2 for supporting the base end side of the unit main body 1 on the mounting part S22 of the display device main body S2 are provided separately. is there.

  By using the upper unit S1 as described above, the unit main bodies 1 and 10 having the different dimensions described above are appropriately selected and attached to the common mounting base 2, so that the entire upper unit S1 can be replaced with the display tool main body S2 without changing the entire upper unit S1. It is possible to adjust the clearance CL with the unit main body 1 and the offset amount δ of the display unit 3 from the display tool main body S2. And it becomes possible to make it easy to take out and replenish the product P corresponding to various products of different sizes and standards, and to flexibly cope with changes in the display mode of the store. Of course, a different standard is prepared on the mounting base 2 side, and the same effect can be obtained by sharing the unit main body, or the mounting position of the unit main body 1 on the mounting base 2 is changed as will be described later. It is also possible to adjust the clearance CL and the offset amount δ.

  Further, the upper unit S1 is configured such that the unit main body 1 extends along the support portion S21 from the position of the mounting portion S22, and the shape of the upper unit S1 is substantially within the extension line of the shape of the display device main body S2. Therefore, in the attached state, the unit main body 1 and the support base 2 are not conspicuous, and only the display unit 3 is clearly displayed.

  Specifically, the unit main body 1 includes an extension portion 11 that is substantially horizontal in the attached state and a leg portion 12 that stands on the proximal end side of the extension portion 11, and the attachment base 2 has a height of the leg portion 12. The extension part 110 can be supported at a height position different from that of the extension part 11 by attaching the leg part 120 of the unit main body 10 with the same condition as the leg part 120. The same condition means that the conditions regarding the mounting structure and the mounting height when the base end side of the leg portion 12 is mounted to the mounting base 2 are the same. Further, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 11 and the like, if a single unit body in which the leg portion 12 can be expanded and contracted and its length can be changed even when attached under the same conditions, the clearance CL is the same. Can have variations.

  The unit body 1 is mainly composed of a substantially horizontal extending portion 11 in the mounted state, and the mounting base 2 has the extending portion 110 of the unit body 10 having a length different from that of the extending portion 11 of the unit body 1. By attaching them under the same conditions, the distal end side of the extension part 110 can be supported at a horizontal position different from that of the extension part 11. The same condition means that the conditions regarding the attachment structure and the attachment direction in the extension direction when the base end side of the extension part 11 is attached to the attachment base 2 are the same. Further, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 11 and the like, if a single unit body in which the extension portion 11 can be expanded and contracted and the length thereof can be changed even when attached under the same conditions, the offset amount δ Can have the same variations.

  In particular, in order to adopt a structure in which the unit body 1 is attached to the mounting base 2 in the height direction under the same conditions, a first fitting portion in which the legs 12 and the ribs 13 constituting the unit body 1 are provided on the mounting base 2 from above. 23a and the second fitting portion 23b, the first engagement portion 12a provided on the base end side is predetermined on the mounting base 2 in a state of being positioned in the three directions of the height direction, the extension direction, and the width direction. Since the unit body 1 is engaged with the position, the rotational force and the twisting force in the height direction, the extending direction or the width direction with respect to the mounting base 2 of the unit main body 1 are dispersedly supported to Engagement can be ensured. Particularly in the case of this embodiment, the unit main body 1 is obtained by crossing the extending portion 11 and the leg portion 12 and providing the rib 13 at the corner of the extension, and the mounting base 2 is the base end of the leg portion 12. Since the first fitting portion 23a for fitting the first engaging portion 12a located on the side and the second fitting portion 23b for fitting the lower end side of the rib 13 are provided, dispersion particularly for the twisting force is provided. Support can be suitably performed. Thus, if the rib 13 is provided, not only the strength of the unit main body is improved, but also the fitting with the mounting base 2 is performed in a wider range, so that the positioning accuracy can be improved easily and effectively. it can. In addition, the upper unit S1 has a structure in which a force for supporting the front end portion of the unit main body 1 is always working. However, the rib 13 is provided with a tapered notch 13a and abuts against the tapered projection 23d of the mounting base 2. Thus, it can be a drag generating surface in an appropriate direction with respect to the cantilever load.

  In addition, the upper unit S1 according to the present embodiment includes a support portion S21 that extends from the base end side toward the tip end side and can support the product P while being suspended, and a base end side of the support portion S21. It is used by assembling above the display tool body S2 having a mounting part S22 for mounting on a display object such as a display fixture, and the base end side is supported by the mounting part S22 of the display tool body S2. A unit main body 1 whose front end can be extended along the support part S21 and a display unit 3 as a display member arranged on the front end side of the unit main body 1 for displaying products and the like are provided separately. It is characterized by.

  In the case of such an upper unit S1, if the display unit 3 is replaced with the display unit 30 or the like and the width dimension W or the height dimension D is changed, the display region s can be replaced without replacing the entire upper unit S1. It is possible to easily change the label and to deal with labels of different sizes, as well as to change the shape and size of the display unit 3 when exchanging or rearranging the products P frequently performed by stores. Even in the case, it is possible to respond quickly by replacing only the display unit 3 without replacing the upper unit S1.

  In this case, in order to ensure the engagement between the display unit 3 and the unit main body 1, the display unit 3 is inserted into the unit main body 1 by inserting the base end side of the display unit 3 into the front end side of the unit main body 1. Since the unit body 1 is engaged with a predetermined position after being positioned in the three directions of the extending direction, the height direction, and the width direction, the display unit 3 is similar to the mode in which the unit main body 1 is supported by the mounting base 2 described above. The rotational force and twisting force in the extending direction, height direction and width direction with respect to the unit main body 1 can be dispersedly supported. More specifically, a vertical slit 321 is provided on the base end side of the display unit 3, and a cross-sectional H shape having a horizontal wall 112 on the top and bottom of the vertical wall 111 is provided on the distal end side of the unit body 1.

The clearance CL in the height direction of the product insertion / removal region t formed between the front end of the upper unit S1 and the front end of the upper unit S1 can be changed. The offset amount δ in the extending direction of the product insertion / removal region t formed therebetween can be changed, and thirdly, the display region of the display unit 3 can be changed.

  In these cases, all or a part of the upper unit S1 other than the display head 31 located on the front end side of the display unit 3 is made of a transparent or translucent material, which is compared with the product P or its package. If it is kept inconspicuous as much as possible, the visibility to the product P and its package can be secured preferentially and the display effect can be enhanced.
