  According to the product display device of the present invention, a product suspended from the hook member can be put forward with a simple structure without requiring a pressing body or an operation bar. Specifically, the locking means can be released by simply lowering the product hanging hook member by hand, or the locking means can be released by simply pulling the front rod-shaped main body toward you. I can put it out. Further, the present invention can also be applied to a double hook display device in which a bar member for hanging a product is provided in the left-right direction or the vertical direction. Further, the product hanging hook member is maintained in a substantially horizontal state (product display posture) by the locking means in a normal state, and is not rotated by a slight external force and can maintain a stable display state. In addition, the hook member is inclined forward and the weight moves forward, so that the product can be put out more smoothly.

  Next, the commodity display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a product display posture of the product display device of this example, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a front-out state of the product display device of this example, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of FIG. is there. In this specification, “front” refers to the customer side, and “rear” refers to the opposite direction.

  The commodity display device 10 according to the first embodiment includes an attachment portion 1 attached to a fixing member, a rod-like main body portion 21 and a rod-like main body that are pivotally supported by the attachment portion 1 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction in the vicinity of the rear end. A product hanging hook member 2 provided with a locking portion 22 bent upward from the tip of the portion 21, and a lock means 3 for restricting the rotation of the hook member 2 on the rear side from the pivot position X of the hook member 2. The product display posture is a state in which the movement of the product suspension hook member 2 is locked by the lock means 3.

  The fixing member (not shown) is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a lattice-like or mesh-like support member formed on a wall surface or a bar member having a rectangular cross section. Examples of the bar member include a horizontal bar member extending in the left-right direction and a vertical bar member extending in the vertical direction. The shape of the attachment portion 1 is not particularly limited, but in this example, a shape obtained by rotating a substantially U-shape composed of three members of the front member 11, the rear member 12, and the upper member 13 counterclockwise by 90 degrees. These members are attached to a horizontal bar member (not shown) extending in the left-right direction. The mounting form of the mounting portion 1 on the bar member is not particularly limited, and may be mounting by fixing or detachable mounting.

  On the upper surface of the upper member 13 of the attachment portion 1, a shaft support portion 4 that pivotally supports the rod-like main body portion 21 of the commodity hanging hook member 2 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction is attached. The shaft support portion 4 opposes the vertical members 43 of the two L-shaped members 41 and 41 including the horizontal member 42 and the vertical member 43, sandwiches the rod-shaped main body 21 in the gap between the vertical members 43, and The shaft of the rod-shaped main body portion 21 is rotatably supported in the lower shaft hole 44, or the shaft below the vertical member is rotatably supported in the shaft hole of the rod-shaped main body portion 21. Note that the rear portion 23 of the rod-shaped main body portion 21 protrudes slightly rearward from the rear end of the shaft support portion 4. The amount of protrusion of the rear portion 23 from the rear end of the shaft support portion 4 to the rear may be a length that is sufficient to engage with the engagement groove 5 that is a locking means, and is usually about 10 mm.

  A locking portion may be formed at least on the product suspension side peripheral surface of the locking portion 22 in the locking portion 22 of the product hanging hook member 2 in order to prevent the product from falling more reliably. As an example of the locking portion, a partial circular cross-sectional protrusion 47 (FIG. 10A), a rectangular cross-sectional protrusion 47a (FIG. 11B), a screw 47b (FIG. 11A), and a knurl 47c (the same figure). (B)). 10A and 10B, the upper diagram in FIGS. 10A and 11B is a diagram in which the lower diagram is viewed from above, and the partial circle appearing in the lower diagram in FIG. Yes.

  In the commodity display device 10, the lock means 3 is an engagement groove 5 that is located on the rear side of the attachment portion 1 and that is engaged with the rear portion 23 of the hook member 2 and that is open at the top. That is, the engagement groove 5 is formed at the upper center of the standing member 31 that extends rearward from the lower end of the rear member 12 of the mounting portion 1 and bends 90 degrees and extends upward. The groove diameter in the left-right direction of the engagement groove 5 is slightly larger than the diameter of the opening 51 above the engagement groove 5. The diameter (opening length) of the opening 51 at the upper part of the engaging groove 5 is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the rear part 23 of the hook member 2, and pushes the front part 24 of the hook member 2 upward. Thus, the fitting is performed against the friction or the opening 51 is expanded. The material of the fitting portion is not particularly limited, and one or both members can be made of metal, resin, or rubber. When the rear portion 23 of the hook member 2 is fitted into the engagement groove 5, the hook member 2 is strongly supported to the extent that it cannot be removed by the weight of the product suspended from the product suspension hook member 2.

  In the product display device 10, the state in which the rear portion 23 of the product suspension hook member 2 is fitted in the engagement groove 5 is the product display posture, and a large number of products are suspended from the rod-shaped main body portion 21 in the front-rear direction. (Illustrated). In this product display posture, the bar-shaped main body portion 21 has a horizontal posture or a slightly upward posture in the front. Thereby, goods can be displayed stably. In this state, the hung products are sold and extracted sequentially from the front.

  When the product is put forward, the front portion 24 of the product hanging hook member 2 is pushed downward by hand (Y direction in FIG. 1). Due to this downward biasing force, the rear portion 23 of the commodity hanging hook member 2 is disengaged from the engaging groove 5. Thereafter, even in a natural state where no external force is applied, the front portion 24 of the commodity hanging hook member 2 is rotated downward by its weight. In the downward rotation, the operation range may be determined by the rod-shaped main body portion 21 slightly in front of the pivot position X coming into contact with the front corner portion 15 of the mounting portion 1 and restricting its movement. You may take the method of supporting by hand, without restricting by a member. If the downward rotation is excessive, the displayed product falls over the locking portion 22 of the hook member 2. If the downward rotation is small, stable advance cannot be performed. Since the front part 24 of the hook member 2 for product suspension is rotated downward and inclined forward and downward, the product moves forward by gravity (not shown). After the displayed product is put forward on the hook member 2, the front portion 24 of the product hanging hook member 2 is rotated upward again, and the rear portion 23 is engaged with the engagement groove 5 to change the product display posture. take. Thereafter, the same operation is repeated.

  Further, the weight 261 may be hung on the rear end of the commodity hanging hook member 2, that is, a large number of commodity A suspended on the rod-shaped member 21 in the front-rear direction. The form of the weight 261 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a plate-like object. In this case, it is preferable that a hole 271 through which the rod-like member 21 is inserted is formed in the upper part of the plate-like object. Moreover, the thing of the form which suspends the hook member attached to the upper part of a plate-shaped object other than the insertion hole to the rod-shaped member 21 may be sufficient. Thereby, the weight 261 moves forward by the hook member 2 being inclined forward and the product A is put out more smoothly.

  According to the first embodiment, a product suspended from the hook member with a simple structure can be put out without requiring a pressing body or an operation bar.

  Next, a commodity display tool according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a product display posture of the product display tool of this example, FIG. 5 is a view seen from the rear of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a side view showing a forward-loaded state of the product display tool of this example. In FIGS. 4 to 6 of the second embodiment, the same components as those in FIGS. 1 to 3 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and different points are mainly described. Explained. That is, the product display device 10a according to the second embodiment is different from the product display device 10 according to the first embodiment mainly in the lock means.

  In the commodity display device 10 a, the locking means is a spring member 3 a that is located on the rear side of the attachment portion 1, one end connected to the rear portion 23 of the hook member 2, and the other end connected to the attachment portion 1.

A number of products are suspended in the front-rear direction 21 (not shown). In this product display posture, the bar-shaped main body portion 21 has a horizontal posture or a slightly upward posture in the front. Thereby, goods can be displayed stably. In this state, the hung products are sold and extracted sequentially from the front.

  When the product is put forward, the front portion 24 of the product hanging hook member 2 is manually rotated downward (Y direction in FIG. 4). Due to the downward urging force, the product hanging hook member 2 is rotated downward by the front portion 24 against the spring urging. In the downward rotation, the rod-like main body portion 21 slightly in front of the pivot position X may hit the front corner portion 15 of the mounting portion 1 to restrict its movement, and the movement of the spring member 3a may be restricted by the strength of the urging force. The movement may be restricted. If the downward rotation is excessive, the displayed product falls over the locking portion 22 of the hook member 2. If the downward rotation is small, stable advance cannot be performed. Since the front part 24 of the hook member 2 for product suspension is rotated downward and inclined forward and downward, the product moves forward by gravity (not shown). After the displayed product is put forward on the hook member 2, the hand is released from the hook member 2. As a result, the hook member 2 for suspending the product takes the product display posture again by rotating the front portion 24 upward by the spring bias. Thereafter, the same operation is repeated. According to the second embodiment, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

  Next, a commodity display tool according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

That is, the product display device 10b according to the third embodiment is mainly different from the product display device 10 according to the first embodiment in the product suspension hook member 2 and the lock means 3.

  The product display device 10b includes a cylindrical member 3b that is fixed horizontally so that the opening is front and rear in the mounting portion 1, a rear bar-shaped main body portion 25 having a circular cross section, and a vertical direction with respect to the rear bar-shaped main body portion 25. The product hanging hook member 2 includes a front rod-shaped main body portion 24 having a circular cross section that is pivotally supported, and a connecting portion 211 between the front rod-shaped main body portion 24 and the rear rod-shaped main body portion 25 is provided in the cylindrical member 3b. A state where the connecting portion 211 and the tubular member 3b are engaged with each other is the product display posture.

  The inner diameter of the cylindrical member 3b, which is a locking means, is larger than the outer diameter of the front rod-shaped main body portion 24 and the rear rod-shaped main body portion 25, and the length of the cylindrical member 3b is stable after the front rod-shaped main body portion 24 is inserted. It is sufficient that the length is fixed, and it is usually 10 to 20 mm. Moreover, the notch part 35 which has the opening 36 ahead is provided in the surrounding surface of the right-and-left both sides ahead of the cylindrical member 3b. The diameter (opening length) of the opening 36 is the same as or smaller than the diameter of the shaft 29 of the shaft support and is smaller than the inner diameter of the notch 35.

  The front portion 28 of the rear rod-like main body portion 25 is cut out by a predetermined length from the tip so as to have a semicircular cross section, and the rear portion 26 is bent downward. The front bar-shaped main body 24 is the main member of the hook member 2 and is much longer than the rear bar-shaped main body 25. Further, the rear portion 27 of the front rod-shaped main body portion 24 is cut out so as to have an inverted semicircular cross section that forms a circular cross section by overlapping with the front portion 28 of the rear rod-shaped main body portion 25. Further, the front portion constitutes a locking portion 22 that bends upward from the tip of the front rod-shaped main body portion 24.

  In this example, the front rod-shaped main body portion 24 and the rear rod-shaped main body portion 25 are connected to each other so that the flat portions of the rear portion 27 of the front rod-shaped main body portion 24 and the front portion 28 of the rear rod-shaped main body portion 25 have a circular cross section. The connecting portion 211 is rotatably supported by the shaft 29 penetrating in the radial direction. The shaft 29 connects the front bar-shaped main body portion 24 and the rear bar-shaped main body portion 25 and functions as an engagement protrusion that engages with the cutout portion 35 of the cylindrical member 3b.

  In the commodity display device 10b, the front bar-shaped main body portion 24 and the rear bar-shaped main body portion 25 are connected so as to be an apparent single linear bar member, and the entire hook member is pushed rearward to connect the connecting portion to the cylindrical member 3b. The shaft 29 is engaged with the notch 35 of the cylindrical member 3b. In this state, the commodity suspending hook member 2 is locked (fixed) to the cylindrical member 3b, and a large number of commodities are suspended from the front rod-shaped main body 24 in the front-rear direction (not shown). In this product display posture, the front bar-shaped main body 24 is in a horizontal posture or a slightly upward posture in the front. Thereby, goods can be displayed stably. In this state, the hung products are sold and extracted sequentially from the front.

  When the product is advanced, the front bar-shaped main body 24 is pulled by hand (Z direction in FIG. 7). Due to this urging force toward the front, the front bar-shaped main body 24 is detached from the cylindrical member 3b, so that it rotates downward about the shaft 29 by its weight. Even if the front rod-shaped main body portion 24 is pulled too much, the bent rear member 26 hits the rear member 12 of the mounting portion and functions as a stopper, so that the hook member 2 does not come off the cylindrical member 3b. The downward rotation of the front rod-shaped main body 24 can be adjusted or regulated by attaching a hand. If the downward rotation is excessive, the displayed product falls over the locking portion 22 of the hook member 2. If the downward rotation is small, stable advance cannot be performed. Since the front bar-shaped main body 24 of the hook member 2 for suspending the product rotates downward and becomes a forward downward slope, the product moves forward due to gravity (not shown). After the displayed product is put forward on the hook member 2, the front bar-shaped main body portion 24 and the rear bar-shaped main body portion 25 are connected so as to be linear, and the connected portion is inserted into the tubular member 3b to display the product.
