Description

  The present invention relates to a cassette used in a display fixture for displaying merchandise and displaying it to a customer, and more particularly to a display fixture cassette for preventing shoplifting in a drug store or the like.

In the drugstore industry, the damage caused by malicious shoplifting and organized thieves is increasing. There are many cases where the products targeted statistically are also biased, and collective and systematic approaches aimed at specific products for the purpose of converting shoplifted products are also emerging.
Although it is a serious problem in any retail industry, the drugstore industry has an assortment of products based on the theme of health and beauty. The size of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics is small, there are many expensive products, and the scale of the store is large. It is a situation that is more likely to be shoplifted.

  In the drugstore industry, as for popular drugs, cosmetics, supplements, etc., it is common for customers to bring products displayed on display fixtures to the cash register. Here, in order to make shoplifting difficult, it is also carried out in a fixture with products in a cassette. However, these cassettes have a problem that when one product is taken, the product is automatically put forward by the rear pressing means, and as a result, it is still easily shoplifted. Moreover, since the product is automatically put forward by taking the product, it is difficult to return the product once taken. Furthermore, since these cassettes are maker-compatible products, there may be no sense of unity when viewed from the whole sales floor, and since the manufacturer's POP advertisement is fixed, it is difficult to create an image as a store side. There was a problem.

In addition, as a measure for preventing shoplifting, there are many stores that attach a tag to each product and install a security gate or attach a security camera or a security mirror (for example, see Patent Document 1). In addition, they have devised methods such as putting them in an acrylic case and taking a card instead of a product to the cash register, and displaying dummy products and taking the dummy to the cash register.
