JP 2000-342404 A (FIGS. 1 and 3)

  It is an object of the present invention to simplify the structure of a price card holder used in a price display device and to manufacture it at low cost. Another object of the present invention is to form the price card holder separately from the price card holder support rod so that the price card holder is detachable. It is another object of the present invention to make it easier for customers to see the price display so that the front portion of the price card holder faces obliquely upward.

In the price display device of FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, the price card holding piece has substantially the same length as the product holding plate. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare various types of price card holding pieces having different lengths corresponding to the product holding plates having various lengths, and the arrangement of the price card holding pieces is troublesome and costly. Further, it is necessary to warp the entire price card holding piece upward each time a product displayed in a suspended manner is taken in and out, and there is a possibility that the base portion of the price card holding piece is broken in a relatively short time. In the display device of FIG. 3 of Patent Document 1, a price card case is permanently fixed to a support rod, and the price card is attached to and detached from the price card case. Therefore, a support bar with a price card case has to be manufactured, but it is very expensive to manufacture such a bar. Further, since the price card case is fixed, it takes time to attach and detach the price card. In addition, since the front portion of the price card case is normally set to be vertical, the price card cannot be set upward when the display position is low, and there is a drawback that it is difficult for customers to see the price display. . Therefore, the present invention provides a price card holder that can be manufactured at low cost, and the front portion of the price card holder faces diagonally upward so that the customer can easily see the price display. An object of the present invention is to provide a price display device that can be attached and detached and facilitates exchange of a price card.

According to claim 6, when the price card holder attached to the support bar for the price card holder is in a vertical state, the lower edge of the front plate of the price card holder is not in contact with the product display support bar, but the elastic plate is A component that is elastically in contact with the product display support bar, the contact point of which is in the back side area of the price card holder and in the extended area of the price card holder support bar from the pivot center of the price card holder Is a configuration added to claim 5.

Claim 1 is a price display device for displaying the price of a displayed product, which is a cantilever price card holder support bar extending in a bar shape, and a price which can be detachably attached to the tip of the support bar. Including the card holder, the tip of the support bar for the price card holder is formed in a T-shape when viewed from above, and a horizontal bar portion extending at right angles to the tip of the support bar for the price card holder is provided horizontally. The price card holder is formed by folding a plastic plate, the plastic plate has at least one fold line, and the front plate and the back plate are formed by folding at the fold line, the folded front plate and back plate Is provided with a locking means for preventing the opening and a vertically long hole is provided in the back plate. Therefore, since the price card holder can be formed by simply folding a single plastic plate, the manufacturing is simple and the cost can be reduced. When attaching the price card holder to the support bar for the price card holder, turn the price card holder 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise so that the horizontal bar and the vertical hole are in the same direction. Insert it into the hole. If the rotated price card holder is returned to its original position, the horizontal bar can be attached without coming out of the hole. Further, the attached price card holder can be rotated so that the front plate of the price card holder faces obliquely upward with the horizontal bar as the center of rotation. At the same time, since the price card holder does not rotate with the center line extending in the vertical direction as the center of rotation, the price card holder does not turn obliquely sideways during use. In addition, since the price card holder is detachably attached to the tip of the support rod for the price card holder, the price card holder can be removed when replacing the price card inserted in the price card holder, That work can be done easily.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a middle plate is extended at an end of the back plate opposite to the front plate side, a fold line is provided at the boundary between the middle plate and the back plate, and the middle plate includes the front plate and the back plate. It is the structure folded between. Therefore, the gap between the front plate and the back plate is partitioned by the middle plate. As a result, when the price card is sandwiched between the front plate and the middle plate, the horizontal bar inserted from the hole is blocked by the middle plate and does not touch the price card, so the price card is rubbed against the horizontal bar. There is no damage.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, an elastic plate is extended at the end of the front plate opposite to the back plate, and a bend line is provided at the boundary between the elastic plate and the front plate. Therefore, when the commodity display support bar is present in the lower stage of the price card holder support bar, the elastic plate hits the product display support bar and supports the price card holder from the lower side, so that the price card holder is stabilized.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the insertion piece is integrally provided at the end opposite to the front plate side of the back plate, the slit is provided at the boundary between the front plate and the elastic plate, and the insertion piece is inserted into the slit. The component which prevents that a front board and a backplate open is the structure added to Claim 3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front plate and the back plate from being opened with a simple configuration without mounting special locking means.

Claim 5 comprises a display hook and a price card holder, and the display hook has a cantilevered price card holder support bar on the upper level and a cantilevered product display support bar on the lower level. The price card holder has a means for detachably attaching the price card holder to the tip of the support hook for the price card holder of the display hook, and having means for movably attaching the price card holder to the support stick for the price card holder. The holder can be rotated at least from the vertical state to the obliquely upward state, and has means for restricting the rotation at a predetermined angle, and the price card holder has an elastic plate at the bottom. The elastic plate and the product display support bar are elastic when the front portion of the price card holder faces obliquely upward. Contact points falling on the elastic plate as in the extended area of the support rod for the price card holder than and the center of rotation of the price card holder at the rear side area of the price card holder is a configuration that is formed. Therefore, the elastic force works so that the front part of the price card holder faces obliquely upward at the contact point between the elastic plate and the product display support rod, so that the front part of the price card holder faces obliquely upward. Can do. In addition, since the price card holder is detachably attached to the tip of the support rod for the price card holder, the price card holder can be removed when replacing the price card inserted in the price card holder, That work can be done easily.

According to claim 6, when the price card holder attached to the support bar for the price card holder is in a vertical state, the lower edge of the front plate of the price card holder is not in contact with the product display support bar, but the elastic plate is It is in elastic contact with the product display support bar, and the contact point is in the back side area of the price card holder and in the extended area of the price card holder support bar from the pivot center of the price card holder. is there. Therefore, just by attaching the price card holder to the tip of the support bar for the price card holder, the elasticity of the elastic plate will cause the price card holder to rotate naturally so that its front plate faces diagonally upward. There is no need to rotate the card holder and it does not take time.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the price card holder 1 is initially a single transparent plastic plate. Four fold lines are provided, and the first fold line 2 is provided at the boundary between the elastic plate 3 and the front plate 4. The second fold line 5 is provided at the boundary between the front plate 4 and the back plate 6. The third fold line 7 is provided at the boundary between the back plate 6 and the middle plate 8. Furthermore, the fourth fold line 9 is provided at the boundary between the middle plate 8 and the space plate 10.

  Further, two slits 11 and 11 are provided along the first fold line 2. The back plate 6 is provided with two slits 12 and 12 and a vertically long hole 17 is provided at the center. The insertion pieces 13 and 13 are formed by providing slits at two locations along the third fold line 7. Two insertion pieces 14 are provided at the end of the space plate 10.

  Next, a method for assembling the price card holder 1 from the plastic plate shown in FIG. 1 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the intermediate plate 8 is folded so as to be folded along the third folding line 7. Further, the space plate 10 is bent at a substantially right angle with respect to the middle plate 8 along the folding line 9. Next, the insertion pieces 14 and 14 are inserted into the slits 12 and 12 to be locked. Since the insertion pieces 14 and 14 are formed so as to spread toward the end, they do not easily come out. Next, the front plate 4 is folded so as to be folded along the second folding line 5. Then, the elastic plate 3 is bent along the first fold line 2, and the insertion pieces 13, 13 are inserted into the slits 11, 11 and locked. By this operation, the price card holder 1 is assembled as shown in FIG. The presence of the space plate 10 creates a wider gap between the back plate 6 and the middle plate 8, so that a horizontal bar portion 16 described later can be inserted therein. The price card 25 is inserted into the gap between the front plate 4 and the middle plate 8 from the side.

  Next, the display hook 18 to which the price card holder 1 is attached will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the display hook 18 has an inverted U-shaped locking portion 19 at the proximal end. The display hook 18 can be locked to a product display board or the like by the locking portion 19. A support bar 15 for the price card holder extends in a cantilever manner from the upper portion of the locking portion 19, and a horizontal bar portion 16 extending in a horizontal and perpendicular direction is integrally provided at the tip thereof. The price card holder support bar 15 and the horizontal bar part 16 are T-shaped. A product display support rod 20 extends in a cantilevered manner from the lower portion of the locking portion 19. The product display support bar 20 is longer than the price card holder support bar 15.

  Next, a method for attaching the price card holder 1 assembled as described above to the display hook 18 will be described. First, the display hook 18 is rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise so that the horizontal bar 16 and the elongated hole 17 are in the same direction, and then the horizontal bar provided at the tip of the support bar 15 for the price card holder. 16 is inserted into the hole 17. Then, when the price card holder 1 is returned to the original state, the horizontal bar portion 16 and the hole portion 17 are orthogonal to each other, so that the horizontal bar portion 16 does not easily come out and the price card holder 1 can be securely attached.

  FIG. 6 shows a state in which the price card holder 1 is attached to the price card holder support rod 15. A contact point 21 between the elastic plate 4 and the product display support rod 20 is in a rear side area behind the back plate of the price card holder 1. Furthermore, the contact point 21 between the elastic plate 4 and the product display support bar 20 is located in an extended area of the price card holder support bar 15 from the rotation center 22 of the price card holder 1 which is also the center of the horizontal bar part 16. . That is, the contact point 21 between the elastic plate 4 and the product display support bar 20 is on the right side of the vertical line passing through the rotation center 22 in FIG. Since the price card holder 1 is attached in this way, the price card holder 1 automatically rotates counterclockwise in FIG. As a result, the front portion 23 of the price card holder 1 faces obliquely upward. Further, when the price card holder 1 is rotated to a predetermined angle, the upper end 24 of the hole 17 provided in the back plate 6 contacts the price card holder support rod 15. Therefore, the price card holder 1 is restricted from rotating further, and the front portion 23 of the price card holder 1 is fixed in a state where it is obliquely upward at a predetermined angle.

  When the product is suspended from the product display support rod 20 when the price card holder 1 is attached as shown in FIG. 6, the product display support rod 20 is inserted into the hole provided in the product packaging and manually Raise the elastic plate 4 slightly and move it to the back. On the other hand, when pulling a suspended product from the product display support rod 20, the product can be pulled out without touching the price card holder 1 by moving the product as it is. Referring to FIG. 6, when the product is pulled out, the periphery of the hole of the package is likely to be caught by the elastic plate 3 at the contact point 21. However, if the product display support bar 20 is formed as a thin round bar, the periphery of the packaging hole smoothly enters the contact point 21 from the side of the product display support bar, so that the product is not caught. Can be pulled out.

  Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the lower edge of the front plate 4 of the price card holder 1 or the elastic plate 3 is free without contacting the product display support rod 20. It may be suspended in a simple state. Further, the price may be displayed on the front portion 23 of the price card holder 1 by printing or the like without using the price card 25.
