Description

  The present invention relates to an information display device that displays product prices, character information, and the like at retail stores, for example, and a method of attaching a panel to the information display device.

In recent years, retail stores such as supermarkets centrally manage information display devices that display product prices by attaching them to product display shelves. For example, the price display of a product that changes every day, every week, and the like can be easily and efficiently changed by transmitting a signal to the information display device of the target product.
As this type of information display device, a panel displaying characters and numbers, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, is detachably attached in order to make service products and the like stand out from the customer. Things are known.

A panel (card holder) described in Patent Literature 1 below includes an information display surface portion (card holding portion) that holds the display surface of the card facing forward, and a cover provided so as to protrude rearward with respect to the information display surface portion. Holding part (attachment piece). The held portion is formed by being bent backward from the information display surface portion, and the connecting portion between the held portion and the information display surface portion is bent.
In addition, the held portion is folded forward at a substantially central portion to form a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion that overlap each other, and a hole is formed in one of the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion. Is provided.

Further, the information display device (display main body) described in Patent Document 1 below has an insertion portion into which the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion of the panel are inserted, and engages with the hole portion of the panel in the insertion portion.

However, the conventional information display device has the following problems.
First, since the connecting portion between the held portion and the information display surface portion is bent, the information display surface portion is substantially parallel to the electronic display surface because the degree of bending of the connecting portion changes with time and the panel is deformed. There was a problem that it was greatly inclined from the state. In addition, when the information display surface portion is greatly inclined as described above, there is a problem that information displayed on the information display surface portion is difficult to see.

  Furthermore, in order to suppress the deformation of the panel by maintaining the degree of bending of the connecting portion in the same state for a long period of time, it is necessary to form the panel with a material that can maintain the bent shape (for example, a plastic sheet). There is a problem that the materials that can be used for the panel are limited.

Further, in order to prevent the panel from being detached from the information display device when an external force is applied to the information display surface portion from a direction intersecting the electronic display surface, the hole portion is formed in the held portion with high accuracy. There is a problem that processing of the panel is difficult.
Further, even if the panel is prevented from being detached from the information display device in this way, when an external force is applied to the information display surface portion from the direction intersecting the electronic display surface, the projection is centered in the insertion port. There is a problem that the holding portion rotates and the panel moves relative to the information display device. In addition, when the held portion rotates in this way, there is a problem that the direction of the information display surface portion changes and it becomes difficult to see the information displayed on the information display surface portion.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the object thereof is to adopt various materials for the panel, and information displayed on the information display surface portion after the attached panel is deformed and moved. It is to provide an information display device that can prevent the panel from being difficult to see and the panel from being detached due to an external force.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
An information display apparatus according to the present invention includes an apparatus main body having an electronic display surface for displaying information, and panel holding means provided on the apparatus main body and detachably holding a panel having an information display surface portion. In the display device, the panel holding means includes a slot portion into which a held portion formed in the same plane as the information display surface portion is inserted, and the slot portion opens in a radial direction of the electronic display surface. However, it has a portion extending in the circumferential direction and deviating from the same straight line when viewed from the radial direction.

Here, the radial direction of the electronic display surface means a direction extending radially from the center of the electronic display surface along the electronic display surface, and the circumferential direction of the electronic display surface means a direction along the contour of the electronic display surface. means.
According to the present invention, since the slot portion is extended in the circumferential direction while opening in the radial direction, the slot portion is radially outward without bending the connecting portion between the information display surface portion and the held portion. The panel can be held by the panel holding means with the information display surface portion being substantially parallel to the electronic display surface by inserting the held portion from above.
In addition, since the slot portion has a portion deviating from the same straight line when viewed from the radial direction, the information display surface portion is curved when viewed from the radial direction by inserting the held portion into the slot portion. Thus, the curved portion in the information display surface portion can be made to act as a rib extending in the radial direction.

As described above, it is possible to hold the panel by the panel holding means in a state where the rib effect is achieved by bending the information display surface portion and the held portion without bending the connecting portion. The panel attached to the information display device can be prevented from being deformed.
Moreover, since it is not necessary to bend the connecting portion between the information display surface portion and the held portion, not only a material that can maintain the bent shape but also various materials such as paper can be adopted as the material of the panel. it can.

  In addition, since the slot portion extends in the circumferential direction while opening in the radial direction, the held portion inserted into the slot portion due to an external force applied to the information display surface portion from the direction intersecting the electronic display surface However, it is possible to prevent the wobbling in the slot part and the moving out of the slot part. Therefore, it can suppress that the attached panel moves relatively with respect to the said information display apparatus, or leaves | separates from the said information display apparatus.

  Further, since the held portion is prevented from being detached from the slot portion, the hole portion is engaged with the projection portion after the hole portion is formed in the panel as in the conventional information display device. There is no need. As a result, the panel can be easily processed in combination with the use of various materials as described above, and the panel can be easily attached to the information display device.

  The panel holding means includes a plurality of holding members protruding from the outer surface of the apparatus main body and spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction, and the slot portion is divided and formed in the circumferential direction. In addition, each of the plurality of holding members may be formed of a plurality of slot division portions, and each slot division portion may be open on the adjacent slot division portion side.

In this case, in each slot division part, the adjacent slot division part side is open, so it becomes possible to insert the held part into the slot part without dividing it into a plurality of parts, making the panel processing easier. It can be carried out.
That is, for example, in each slot division portion, when the adjacent slot division portion side is not open, it is necessary to divide and form a plurality of held portions, so that it takes time to process the panel. However, since the adjacent slot division part side is open in each slot division part, a series of held parts formed continuously can be inserted in the gap between each slot division part and the adjacent holding member. Therefore, the panel can be processed more easily.

  The slot portions may be formed continuously in the circumferential direction.

In this case, since the slot portions are continuously formed in the circumferential direction and are arranged in series, the held portion can be inserted into the slot portion without being divided into a plurality of parts, and the panel can be processed more easily. be able to.
That is, for example, when the slot portion is composed of a plurality of slot division portions divided and formed in the circumferential direction, it is necessary to divide and form a plurality of held portions, so that it takes time to process the panel. . However, since the slot portions are formed continuously in the circumferential direction, a series of held portions may be formed continuously, and the panel can be processed more easily.

  The slot portion may have an outer opening width in the radial direction larger than an inner opening width.

In this case, since the opening width on the outer side in the radial direction is larger than the opening width on the inner side in the slot portion, the held portion can be easily inserted into the slot portion from the outer side in the radial direction. Can be easily attached by the information display device.
That is, for example, when the opening width of the slot portion is constant regardless of the radial position, the information display surface portion is curved as desired when the held portion is inserted into the slot portion over the entire opening width of the slot portion. It is necessary to set it small enough to make a shape. Therefore, the opening width must be reduced outside the slot portion in the radial direction, which may make it difficult to insert the held portion. However, in the slot portion, the opening width on the outer side in the radial direction is larger than the opening width on the inner side, so that the opening width on the inner side in the radial direction is reduced when the held portion is inserted into the slot portion. If it is set to be small enough to form a desired curved shape, the opening width on the outer side in the radial direction can be set large enough to easily insert the held portion.
