Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely direct a mark attached to a container toward a specific direction.SOLUTION: The width-direction length d4 of each of roll-like members 314 of a downstream side second roller group 312B is longer than the width-direction length d2 of each of roll-like members 314 of an upstream side second roller group 312A. Also, each of the roll-like members 314 of the upstream side second roller group 312A and each of the roll-like members 314 of the downstream side second roller group 312B are fixed so as not to be rotated. By fixing each of the roll-like members 314 of the upstream side second roller group 312A and each of the roll-like members 314 of the downstream side second roller group 312B, drag is imparted to the right side and bottom part of the container.

Description

  The present invention relates to a display system for displaying containers.

For example, in convenience stores and the like, containers filled with beverages such as beverage cans and plastic bottles are placed on a display device housed in a display case, for example, and placed on the market. And such a display apparatus is arrange | positioned in the state inclined, for example so that a container might move ahead of a display case with dead weight of the container itself. When one container on the near side (front row) is extracted, the subsequent container moves to the near side by its own weight.
Here, a plastic flat plate, for example, is provided at a place where the container of the display device is placed because of the good sliding property of the container. In recent years, a display device in which a large number of rotatable rollers are arranged has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). In addition, the container is generally refilled from the rear side of the display device, but the container can be loaded from the front side, and the container moved to the back side is moved to the front side again and displayed. A display device has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Further, as a container, a can has been proposed in which inner concave portions and vertical ribs are alternately formed in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral wall of an annular convex portion formed on the can bottom (see, for example, Patent Document 3). ).

  By the way, a mark such as a trade name or a trademark is provided on the outer surface of the container. If the mark is not suitable for the purchase direction of the purchaser, it is difficult to identify the product and the appearance of the product is displayed. Deteriorate. For this reason, in the display device for displaying the container, it is preferable to rotate the container in the circumferential direction so that the mark of the container is directed in a specific direction such as the front.

  Here, by forming the two regions of the slippery region and the slippery region with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the container, the container can be rotated in the circumferential direction so that the mark of the container is directed in a specific direction such as the front. . More specifically, by forming the two regions, the container can be rotated in the circumferential direction, and the rotation can be stopped at an intended location, and the mark attached to the container is moved in a certain direction.

With this rotation, the slippery region and the guide come to face each other, slipping occurs between them, and the rotation of the container stops. At this time, the mark can be directed in a specific direction.

  By the way, the rotational force of a container may become large, when the inclination angle of the mounting part in which a container is mounted is large. In this case, even if the slippery region and the guide come into contact with each other, the container continues to rotate due to the inertia of the container, and the mark faces in a direction other than the specific direction.

The second region that is provided in the second region and that exerts a drag on the first region when it contacts the first region of the container that moves along the movement path, rotates the container in the circumferential direction and in one direction, and contacts with the rotation. A container contact portion that causes slippage between the container and the second side of the container in contact with a portion located on the other side of the container in a state where the second region is in contact with the container contact portion. A drag is given to the part located in A display system, characterized in that has a rotating section for rotating the container in the direction of the pair, the.

  Here, the rotating part can be characterized in that it is provided below the movement path and contacts the bottom part of the container to give a drag to the bottom part. The moving means has a plurality of rotatable roll-like members below the movement path, and moves the container by using the roll-like members, and some of the plurality of provided roll-like members The shaped member is fixed, and the rotating part is constituted by a part of the fixed rolled member. In addition, the drag applied to the site where the rotating unit is located on the other side is smaller than the drag applied to the first region by the container contact unit. Furthermore, the mark of the container is characterized in that the second region is attached to the container so as to face the front side of the display device when the second region comes into contact with the container contact portion and a slip occurs between them. it can. Further, the container may be composed of a container main body part and an attachment member attached to the container main body part, and the first region and the second region may be formed in the attachment member. .

  Further, when the present invention is regarded as a display device, the display device to which the present invention is applied includes a first region and a second region in which the outer peripheral surface is marked and the friction coefficient and the position in the circumferential direction are different from each other. A moving means for moving a container having an outer peripheral surface along a predetermined moving path and one side of the moving path and the other side of the moving path. When the container is in contact with the first region of the moving container, a drag is applied to the first region to rotate the container in the circumferential direction and in one direction, and to slide between the second region in contact with the rotation. Drag the container contact part to be generated and the part located on the other side by contacting the part located on the other side of the container in the state where the second region is in contact with the container contact part. And rotate the container in the opposite direction to one direction A rotation unit for a display device comprising a.

  Here, the container contact portion includes a base material disposed along the movement path, and a contact material that is attached to the surface of the base material and is softer than the base material and contacts the first region and the second region. , At least. Further, the surface of the container contact portion that contacts the first region and the second region has a curvature so that the surface is away from the moving path of the container as it goes upward and downward from the center in the height direction of the surface. It is characterized by being formed in a state having

In this embodiment, the left guide 32A and the right guide 32B are provided, and the guides 32 are provided on both sides of the movement path of the container 20, but the right guide 32B can be omitted.

  The placement portion 31 is disposed so as to be inclined in the left-right direction (width direction) of the display device 30. More specifically, the left guide 32A side is inclined and arranged so as to be positioned below the right guide 32B side so that the placement portion 31 and the horizontal plane in the left-right direction form an angle θH. Moreover, the mounting part 31 is inclined and arranged so that the front side is positioned below the rear side as described above. More specifically, the mounting portion 31 and the horizontal plane in the front-rear direction are arranged so as to be inclined so that the near side is positioned below the far side so as to form an angle θV.

  Further, the placement unit 31 includes a first roller group 311 and a second roller group 312 that are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction (width direction) of the placement unit 31 on the surface on which the container 20 is placed. . Here, each roller group has a plurality of roll-shaped members 314 that can rotate along the moving direction of the container 20 and are arranged in the front-rear direction. The first roller group 311 is provided on the left guide 32A side, and the second roller group 312 is provided on the right guide 32B side.

  Here, the first roller group 311 includes an upstream first roller group 311A arranged along the movement path of the container 20 from the loading portion side of the mounting portion 31, and a container that is more than the upstream first roller group 311A. And a downstream first roller group 311 </ b> B that is arranged on the downstream side in the moving direction of the 20 and arranged along the moving path of the container 20. In addition, the second roller group 312 includes an upstream second roller group 312A arranged along the movement path of the container 20 from the loading part side of the placement unit 31, and the upstream second roller group 312A. And a downstream second roller group 312B (an example of a rotating unit) that is arranged on the downstream side in the movement direction and arranged along the movement path of the container 20.

  In the present specification, hereinafter, an upstream area where the upstream first roller group 311A and the upstream second roller group 312A are arranged may be referred to as an upstream area 31A. In addition, the downstream area where the downstream first roller group 311B and the downstream second roller group 312B are arranged may be referred to as a downstream area 31B.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the length d1 in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 of the upstream first roller group 311A is the length in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 in the upstream second roller group 312A. The upstream first roller group 311A and the upstream second roller group 312A are configured to be larger than d2. Further, the length d3 in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 of the first downstream roller group 311B and the length d4 in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 of the second downstream roller group 312B are equal. The downstream first roller group 311B and the downstream second roller group 312B are configured.

  In the present embodiment, the length d1 in the width direction of each roll member 314 of the upstream first roller group 311A is equal to the length d3 in the width direction of each roll member 314 of the downstream first roller group 311B. The upstream first roller group 311A and the downstream first roller group 311B are configured so as to be larger. Further, the length d2 in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 of the upstream second roller group 312A is smaller than the length d4 in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 of the downstream second roller group 312B. Thus, the upstream second roller group 312A and the downstream second roller group 312B are configured. In addition, in this embodiment, the length d4 in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 of the downstream second roller group 312B is longer in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 in the upstream second roller group 312A. It is larger than d2.

  Although the description is omitted above, in the present embodiment, the roll-like members 314 of the upstream second roller group 312A and the roll-like members 314 of the downstream second roller group 312B cannot be rotated. It is fixed. Here, each roll-like member 314 of the upstream second roller group 312A and each roll-like member 314 of the downstream second roller group 312B are fixed, so that drag is applied to the right side and the bottom of the container 20. (Details will be described later). In addition, it replaces with each roll-shaped member 314 of the upstream 2nd roller group 312A, and each roll-shaped member 314 of the downstream 2nd roller group 312B, and provides the convex part which has the shape similar to the roll-shaped member 314. You can also.

  Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the left guide 32A is provided with the resistance applying portion 33 that contacts the container 20 and applies sliding resistance (friction resistance, drag). Here, the resistance applying portion 33 is disposed along the movement path of the container 20. In addition, the resistance applying portion 33 in the present embodiment is provided on one side of the movement path of the container 20. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the resistance applying portion 33 is made of vinyl chloride or the like and is softer than the rod-shaped member 33A (a contact material) with respect to the rod-shaped member 33A (an example of the base material) having a circular cross section. It is formed by pasting (example). A rubber member such as EPDM (ethylene-propylene rubber) can be used instead of the vinyl tape.

  Further, the resistance applying portion 33 in the present embodiment is configured so that the cross section is substantially circular. In other words, the contact surface (the surface facing the movement path of the container 20) of the resistance applying portion 33 that contacts the container 20 moves upward and downward from the center in the height direction. It is formed in a state having a curvature so as to be separated from the path. When it is set as such a shape, even if the container 20 fluctuates in the up-down direction and the left-right direction, the contact area between the container 20 and the resistance applying portion 33 tends to be constant.

Next, the container 20 will be described in detail.
FIG. 4 is a view for explaining the container 20. FIG. 2A shows the container 20 from one side, and FIG. 2B shows the container 20 from the other side. 3C shows a cross section at the S portion in FIG. 1A, and FIG. 1D shows a cross section at the T portion in FIG.

  The container 20 in the present embodiment is filled with a content such as a beverage, and a lid member (not shown) to which a pull tab (not shown) is attached is fixed. Moreover, in this embodiment, as shown to the same figure (A) and (B), 1st area | region R1 and 2nd area | region R2 are formed in the outer peripheral surface of the container 20. FIG. Here, the friction coefficient on the surface satisfies the first region R1> the second region R2. Moreover, the container 20 in this embodiment has the identification mark 23 for identifying with other goods, such as a brand name and a trademark, on the outer peripheral surface.

  The identification mark 23 is formed in the first region R1 by an ink layer 51 described later. Further, in the present embodiment, the first region R1, the second region R2, and the identification mark 23 so that the boundary line KY between the first region R1 and the second region R2 and the identification mark 23 have a predetermined positional relationship. Is arranged. More specifically, in the present embodiment, when the container 20 is viewed from the side where the identification mark 23 is attached (when the container 20 is viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 5A), the boundary line The first region R1, the second region R2, and the identification mark 23 are arranged so that KY is positioned on the side of the container 20.

  Here, the surface state of the second region R2 will be described first with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5C, an ink layer 51 is provided on the surface of the container body 50 in the second region R2. In addition, a top coat layer (outermost layer) 52 having crater-like irregularities is provided on the surface of the ink layer 51.

  Here, the ink used for the ink layer 51 may be, for example, that for metal printing. Here, as an ink pigment (color amount), various organic pigments and inorganic pigments are used. The ink vehicle is mainly composed of a resin such as a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin. Here, as the thermosetting resin, an alkyd type or polyester type resin or the like is used. As the ultraviolet curable resin, an ultraviolet radical polymerization type resin, an ultraviolet cation polymerization type resin, or the like is used. Furthermore, the ink may contain an additive. Additives include matting agents, waxes (natural, petroleum, synthetic), desiccants, dispersants, wetting agents, crosslinking agents, gelling agents, thickeners, anti-skinning agents, stabilizers, An antifoaming agent, a photopolymerization initiator, or the like is used.

  The ink layer 51 is formed of so-called repelling ink. That is, the ink layer 51 is formed of ink that repels the paint when the paint for forming the topcoat layer 52 is applied to the surface of the ink layer 51. Here, the unevenness in the top coat layer 52 is formed by repelling the paint forming the top coat layer 52 by the ink layer 51.

  In order to repel the paint for forming the top coat layer 52 by the ink layer 51 (to form the unevenness), the surface tension of the ink used for forming the ink layer 51 is set to the formation of the top coat layer 52. It is desirable to set 5 mN / m or more lower than the surface tension of the paint used. In other words, it is desirable that the surface tension of the ink is lower than the surface tension of the paint, and that the difference in surface tension between the ink and the paint is 5 mN / m or more. Here, the reduction of the surface tension of the ink can be carried out, for example, by adding silicone to normal ink.

  On the other hand, the coating material used for the topcoat layer 52 is mainly composed of a resin such as a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin, and contains a wax component as necessary. Thermosetting resins include phenol-formaldehyde resin, furan-formaldehyde resin, xylene-formaldehyde resin, ketone-formaldehyde resin, amino resin, urea formaldehyde resin, melamine-formaldehyde resin, alkyd resin, unsaturated polyester resin, epoxy resin ( Examples: novolac type epoxy resin, bisphenol type epoxy resin), bismaleimide resin, triallyl cyanurate resin, thermosetting acrylic resin, silicone resin, oily resin and the like are used.

  Further, a composition of a thermosetting resin and a thermoplastic resin may be used. In this case, a vinyl chloride-maleic acid-vinyl acetate copolymer, an acrylic polymer, a saturated polyester resin, or the like is used as the thermoplastic resin. These resins can be used singly or in combination of two or more. Moreover, well-known acid catalysts, such as toluenesulfonic acid and benzenesulfonic acid, may be added to these resin compositions as needed. When using an acid catalyst, it is desirable to add the acid catalyst in an amount of 0.5 to 1% by mass based on the resin. Of these resins, it is particularly desirable in terms of coating film performance to use a composition of a melamine-formaldehyde resin and a saturated polyester resin or a composition of a thermosetting acrylic resin and a melamine-formaldehyde resin.

  On the other hand, as the ultraviolet curable resin, for example, a cationic curable resin, a radical curable resin, or the like is used. As the cationic curable resin, a composition of an ultraviolet curable epoxy resin and a cationic photopolymerization catalyst is used.

  Moreover, in the coating material used for the topcoat layer 52, you may add a crosslinking agent and a sensitizer to said resin as needed. As the crosslinking agent, various polyols (eg, ε-caprolactone triol) and the like are used. A thioxanthone derivative or the like is used as the sensitizer. Furthermore, natural, petroleum, or synthetic wax agents may be added alone or in combination as a wax component to the paint used for the top coat layer 52 in order to compensate for slippage. Further, various silicone oils may be added as a leveling agent for the surface of the topcoat layer 52 and / or to further improve the stability in the paint state and to impart initial slipperiness to the topcoat layer 52. good.

An example of the composition of the ink layer 51 and the topcoat layer 52 is as follows.
[Topcoat layer 52]
Resin component: 30% polyester, 13% acrylic, 55% amino, 2% epoxy
Wax: Petroleum 0.3%, Natural 1%, Synthetic 0.2% (based on resin component)
Silicone oil (mixed): 0.15% (based on resin component)
Surface tension: 33 mN / m
Thickness: 5μm
[Ink layer 51] (repellent ink)
Main resin: Alkyd resin Pigment: TiO ₂
Surface tension: 28 mN / m
Thickness: 2μm

  The above is an example of a method for forming the second region R2. For example, the second region R2 may be formed using a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-361172. That is, the second region R <b> 2 may be formed by forming irregularities by agglomerating the coating material forming the top coat layer 52 in the form of spots on the surface of the ink layer 51. The unevenness of the second region R2 caused by the coating material in the present embodiment is on the order of 3 to 10 μm at the maximum depth, and in a normal coating paint, the depth is about 1 μm or less. The smooth surface is referred to as the first region R1.

Next, the surface state of the first region R1 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4D, an ink layer 51 is provided on the surface of the container body 50 in the first region R1 as described above. A topcoat layer (outermost layer) 52 having a surface smoother than the topcoat layer 52 in the second region R2 is provided on the surface of the ink layer 51.

  Here, the ink layer 51 in the first region R <b> 1 is formed using an ink (ordinary ink) that does not repel the paint forming the top coat layer 52. In other words, the ink that forms the ink layer 51 is an ink whose surface tension is equal to or higher than the surface tension of the paint that forms the topcoat layer 52. Therefore, in the first region R1, the paint that forms the topcoat layer 52 is not repelled, and the surface of the topcoat layer 52 is smoother than the topcoat layer 52 in the second region R2. The basic composition of the ink forming the ink layer 51 is the same as described above. The basic composition of the paint for forming the top coat layer 52 is the same as described above.

Next, the operation of the container 20 when the container 20 is put into the display device 30 will be described.
5-8 is a figure for demonstrating operation | movement of the container 20 in the display apparatus 30. FIG. In these drawings, the first roller group 311 and the second roller group 312 are not shown.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, when the container 20 is inserted into the upstream region 31A of the display device 30, the container 20 moves forward and moves toward the left guide 32A. That is, the container 20 moves diagonally left frontward. As described above, the mounting portion 31 is inclined so that the front side is positioned below the rear side, and the left guide 32A side is positioned below the right guide 32B side. This is because the portion 31 is inclined.

  Thereafter, the container 20 contacts the resistance applying portion 33. When the container 20 comes into contact with the resistance applying unit 33, the container 20 moves toward the front of the display device 30 while being in contact with the resistance applying unit 33. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the first region R1 is in contact with the resistance applying portion 33, slippage between the first region R1 and the resistance applying portion 33 is suppressed (first The drag F1 is applied to the first region R1), and the container 20 moves forward while rotating clockwise.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, when the second region R <b> 2 comes into contact with the resistance applying portion 33, slip occurs between the second region R <b> 2 and the resistance applying portion 33. As a result, the rotation of the container 20 stops and the identification mark 23 faces the front side of the display device 30. In addition, when 2nd area | region R2 contacts the resistance provision part 33, 2nd area | region R2 and the resistance provision part 33 contact in the state close | similar to a point contact. In other words, the contact area between the second region R2 and the resistance applying portion 33 is reduced. For this reason, it is considered that the slip occurs between the second region R2 and the resistance applying portion 33. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6A, the container 20 enters the downstream region 31B.

  Here, in the downstream region 31B, as shown in FIG. 3A, the width of the roll-shaped member 314 in the second roller group 312 is larger than the width of the roll-shaped member 314 arranged in the upstream region 31A. It is getting bigger. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3A, the width of the roll-shaped member 314 in the upstream second roller group 312A is d2, but the width of the roll-shaped member 314 in the downstream second roller group 312B is d4 is larger than d2. For this reason, when the container 20 enters the downstream region 31 </ b> B, the drag force applied from the second roller group 312 to the bottom of the container 20 increases. If it demonstrates with reference to FIG. 6 (A), the drag which acts with respect to the site | part on the right side of the container 20 (site located in the other side of the container movement path | route) will become large. More specifically, when the drag acting on the right side portion of the container 20 is F0 (not shown) in the upstream region 31A, the drag F2 (see FIG. 5) larger than this F0 in the downstream region 31B. 6 (A)) acts on the right side portion of the container 20.

  As a result, the container 20 that has stopped rotating until now starts rotating counterclockwise as shown in FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6B, the first region R1 comes into contact with the resistance applying portion 33 again, and the resistance F1 larger than the resistance F2 is resistant to the first region R1. It comes to act from the grant part 33. In this case, the container 20 rotates again in the clockwise direction as shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7A, the second region R2 of the container 20 comes into contact with the resistance applying portion 33 again. Then, the container 20 rotates counterclockwise again as shown in FIG. 7A by the drag F2 applied from the second roller group 312 to the right side of the container 20. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7B, the first region R1 and the resistance applying portion 33 come into contact again. Thereafter, the contact between the second region R2 and the resistance applying unit 33 and the contact between the first region R1 and the resistance applying unit 33 are repeatedly performed. Therefore, the container 20 moves toward the front of the display device 30 while repeating counterclockwise rotation and clockwise rotation. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8, the container 20 is displayed with the identification mark 23 facing substantially forward of the display device 30.

  Here, for example, due to the installation space and the like, the depth dimension of the display device 30 may not be sufficiently secured, and the depth dimension of the display device 30 may have to be reduced. In such a display device 30, in order to direct the identification mark 23 to the front of the display device 30, the rotation amount of the container 20 when moving a certain distance is used when the display device 30 having a large depth dimension is used. It needs to be larger than that. This is because if the rotation amount of the container 20 is small, the identification mark 23 does not face the front of the display device 30 and the identification mark 23 faces the side of the display device 30 or the like.

  Here, the increase in the rotation amount of the container 20 is, for example, increasing the inclination (angle θH in FIG. 3C) in the width direction (left-right direction) of the placement unit 31 and tilting the placement unit 31 in the front-rear direction. This can be done by increasing (the angle θV in FIG. 3B). In this case, since the drag acting on the container 20 from the resistance applying portion 33 is increased, the rotation amount of the container 20 is increased. The reason why the inclination of the mounting portion 31 in the front-rear direction is also increased is that the movement speed of the container 20 is likely to decrease only by increasing the inclination in the width direction.

  By the way, when the rotation amount of the container 20 is increased as described above, the container 20 may rotate excessively, and the identification mark 23 may face in a direction other than the front of the display device 30. In other words, the container 20 is rotated by the inertia of the container 20 in spite of the contact between the resistance applying portion 33 and the second region R2. For example, FIG. 9 (another configuration example of the display device 30 is shown). As shown in the figure, there is a possibility that the identification mark 23 faces diagonally forward.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the drag acting on the right side of the container 20 is increased in the downstream region 31B, and the container 20 is rotated in the reverse direction. In this case, even if the container 20 rotates excessively and the identification mark 23 faces in a direction other than the front, the identification mark 23 faces the front by the reverse rotation. In addition, when the configuration according to the present embodiment is adopted, the identification mark 23 faces the front of the display device 30 even if the rotation amount of the container 20 is increased because the depth of the display device 30 is small. Become. In addition, the configuration in the present embodiment makes it difficult for problems such as the identification mark 23 attached to the container 20 to face in an oblique direction, and the accuracy when the identification mark 23 is directed forward can be increased.

In this embodiment, the upstream side region 31A of the display device 30 is provided with the upstream first roller group 311A and the upstream second roller group 312A, but the upstream second roller group 312A is omitted. can do. In the present embodiment, the resistance applying portion 33 is provided in the left guide 32A. However, the resistance applying portion 33 may be provided in the right guide 32B. In that case, the placing portion 31 is arranged so that the right guide 32B side is positioned below the left guide 32A side.
Further, the length d1 (see FIG. 3A) of each roll member 314 of the upstream first roller group 311A and the length of each roll member 314 of the downstream first roller group 311B in the width direction. Length d2 in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 of the upstream second roller group 312A and length d4 in the width direction of each roll-shaped member 314 of the downstream second roller group 312B. Can be made equal. In this case, for example, a rubber member is attached to the surface of the roll-shaped member 314 included in the downstream second roller group 312B, and the right side of the container 20 from the roll-shaped member 314 in the downstream second roller group 312B. It is necessary to increase the drag given to the.

  Although the description is omitted above, in the present embodiment, the rotation of the container 20 in the clockwise direction and the rotation of the container 20 in the counterclockwise direction are repeated. For this reason, the identification mark 23 swings and the identification mark 23 becomes more conspicuous. As a result, the possibility that the purchaser of the container 20 recognizes the existence of the container 20 is increased, and the possibility that the container 20 is purchased is increased. Further, in the above, the container 20 is brought into contact with the resistance applying portion 33 by giving the placing portion 31 an inclination in the width direction (left-right direction) of the display device 30. 20 can be brought into contact with the resistance applying portion 33. For example, the container 20 can be brought into contact with the resistance applying portion 33 using the roll-shaped member 314.

FIG. 10 is a view showing another form of the display device 30.
In the display device 30 shown in the figure, no inclination in the width direction of the display device 30 is given. Further, in the display device 30 shown in the figure, a plurality of roll-shaped members 314 provided on the placement unit 31 are arranged to be inclined with respect to the front-rear direction of the display device 30.

  More specifically, assuming a virtual line 9A orthogonal to the rotation axis of the roll-shaped member 314, each of the roll-shaped members 314 is inclined so that the virtual line 9A intersects the front-rear direction of the display device 30. Are arranged. In addition, each of the roll-shaped members 314 is arranged so that the virtual line 9 </ b> A is inclined with respect to the front-rear direction of the display device 30. More specifically, each of the roll-shaped members 314 is arranged so as to be inclined so that the direction in which the virtual line 9A is directed to the left guide 32A side (the side on which the resistance applying portion 33 is provided).

  For this reason, in the display device 30 shown in FIG. 10, the container 20 is moved toward the resistance applying portion 33 by the roll-shaped member 314 arranged to be inclined although it is going to move toward the front of the display device 30. . In other words, in the display device 30 shown in FIG. 10, the contact between the resistance applying portion 33 and the container 20 is performed by the container 20 being guided by the roll-shaped member 314.

  Here, a method of forming the first region R1 and the second region R2 formed in the container 20 will be described. 1st area | region R1 and 2nd area | region R2 can be formed in the printing process included in the manufacturing process of the container 20, for example. In more detail, it can form using the printing machine installed in the printing process.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a printing machine that performs printing on the container 20.
A printing machine 500 shown in the figure is a printing machine that performs so-called offset printing. The printing machine 500 includes a blanket cylinder 510 that rotates in one direction, an ink applicator 520 that has a printing plate corresponding to a pattern and applies ink that forms the ink layer 51 to the blanket cylinder 510, a support roll 530, And a paint application device 540 for applying a paint for forming the top coat layer 52.

  The blanket cylinder 510 is formed in a disc shape and has a plurality of blankets (transferred portions) 511 on the outer peripheral surface. In addition, the blanket cylinder 510 transfers the ink transferred from the printing plate in the ink coating device 520 to the blanket 511 to the base can body serving as the base of the container 20 at the transfer portion Te, and transfers the ink to the base can body. A symbol including the identification mark 23 is formed.

  A plurality of ink applicators 520 are provided for each color along the circumferential direction of the blanket cylinder 510. Each ink coating device 520 includes a printing cylinder 522 that contacts the blanket 511 of the blanket cylinder 510 and an ink supply device 521 that supplies ink to the outer peripheral surface of the printing cylinder 522. Here, the printing cylinder 522 has the printing plate on its outer peripheral surface, and transfers the ink supplied by the ink supply device 521 to the blanket 511. As a result, ink is placed on the surface of each blanket 511. Specifically, ink is sequentially placed from each of the printing cylinders 522 on each surface of each blanket 511 and assigned to each region assigned to each printing cylinder 522. As a result, an ink image corresponding to the design is formed on the surface of each blanket 511. The ink image moves to the transfer portion Te as the blanket cylinder 510 rotates, and is transferred to the outer peripheral surface of the raw can body rotating in the circumferential direction. As a result, the ink layer 51 is formed.

  The support roll 530 is disposed at a position opposite to the blanket cylinder 510 and rotates in one direction, and conveys the raw can body that has moved from a not-shown washer process to the transfer unit Te. Further, the support roll 530 conveys the raw can body that has moved from the washer process to the transfer unit Te in a rotated state. The coating material coating device 540 applies the coating material to the outer peripheral surface of the element can body (element can body on which the ink layer 51 is formed) to which the ink image is transferred. As a result, the top coat layer 52 is formed. In addition, the base can body (the base can body on which the top coat layer 52 is formed) coated with the paint by the paint coating device 540 is then heated at 200 ° C. to 220 ° C. in an oven process (heating process) (not shown). The

  Here, when such a printing machine 500 is used, by placing on the blanket 511 ink having a function of repelling paint from the printing cylinder 522 in charge of the ink layer 51 in the second region R2, the second region R2 and A surface difference can be formed between the first region R1 adjacent to the second region R2.

  Incidentally, the same color portion on the outer peripheral surface of the container 20 is normally supplied with ink from a common (single) printing cylinder 522. However, in the present embodiment, ink is supplied from different printing cylinders 522 even if there are portions of the same color in the first region R1 and the second region R2. That is, the same color portion in the first region R1 is supplied with ink from one printing cylinder 522, and the same color portion in the second region R2 is different from the one printing cylinder 522 in another printing cylinder 522 ( Ink is supplied from a printing cylinder 522) that supplies repelling ink.

  Here, when a pattern using a plurality of colors is present over a wide range over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction of the container 20, it is necessary to prepare a large number of printing cylinders 522 as compared with normal printing. That is, for example, in order to form a pattern in the first region R1, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of printing cylinders 522 first. Then, it is necessary to further prepare a plurality of printing cylinders 522 for forming a pattern in the second region R2.

Here, in order to prevent an increase in the number of printing cylinders 522 as described above, a form as shown in FIG. 12 (a diagram showing another form of the container 20) may be adopted. 1A shows a front view of the container 20, and FIG. 1B shows a rear view of the container 20.
As shown in the figure, for example, the second region R <b> 2 can be provided in the lower portion of the container 20. More specifically, it can be formed as a band having a width slightly larger than the width of the resistance applying portion 33 along the circumferential direction of the container 20. In the case of such a form, even if a pattern using a plurality of colors is present over the entire circumference of the container 20, only one printing cylinder 522 for forming the second region R2 is added. That's it. In other words, it is not necessary to prepare a large number of printing cylinders 522 as described above.

  Further, in the above, the so-called repellant ink is used to form irregularities in the second region R2, but the ink layer 51 is formed using, for example, a so-called foamed ink containing a foaming agent, and the irregularities are formed in the second region R2. May be. Furthermore, the coating material for forming the topcoat layer 52 in the second region R2 may be a so-called mat coating material, thereby providing the second region R2 with unevenness and reducing the sliding resistance. Here, the mat paint is a paint that contains particles such as glass, silica, and resin that scatter light and has a lower gloss than a normal paint. Since the mat paint contains particles such as glass, silica, and resin as described above, irregularities are formed on the surface thereof. In this case, it is necessary to paint differently. That is, it is necessary to apply a mat paint to the second region R2, and apply a paint other than the mat paint to the first region R1.

  In addition, the matte paint may be further applied to the surface of the topcoat layer 52 in the second region R2 to give unevenness to the second region R2, and the sliding resistance in this region may be reduced. In addition, the ink layer 51 in the second region R2 may be formed by repelling ink, and the top coat layer 52 may be formed on the surface of the ink layer 51 using a mat paint. Further, for example, after the topcoat layer 52 in the first region R1 and the second region R2 is formed with a mat paint, the paint for smoothing the surface of the first region R1 (for example, the glass or the like is not included). A paint) may be applied. That is, after applying the mat paint to make the entire circumference of the container 20 slip easily, a paint that smoothes the surface may be applied to the first region R1 to make the first region R1 difficult to slip.

  In the above description, the identification mark 23 is directed forward by making the surface of the first region R1 smoother than the surface of the second region R2. Incidentally, the rotation / non-rotation of the container 20 is also influenced by, for example, the material constituting the topcoat layer 52. For this reason, even when the surface in the second region R2 is formed more smoothly than the surface in the first region R1, it may be possible to turn the identification mark 23 forward. That is, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, if at least two regions having different friction coefficients are formed corresponding to the identification mark 23, the identification mark 23 can be directed forward.

  In the above description, the sliding resistance is reduced by providing irregularities in the second region R2, but the sliding resistance may be reduced by applying or applying a fluororesin or the like to the second region R2. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 (a diagram showing another form of the container 20), a tape member TA that has been subjected to Teflon (registered trademark) processing or the like is pasted together with the identification mark 23 of the container 20 in a positional relationship. Thus, the same effect as described above can be imparted to the container 20 regardless of the coating state of the container 20. In addition, fluorine resin (PTFE, PFA, PVDF, etc.) and their tape members, or film tape members with low frictional resistance, such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene films, can also be used. In addition, when the whole outer peripheral surface of the container 20 is coated with a material having a small friction coefficient, a similar effect can be obtained by sticking a resin tape or the like having a large friction coefficient to the portion corresponding to the first region R1. You can also.

  In addition, as in the case where the container 20 is a plastic bottle, a metal bottle can, or the like, a film F on which an identification mark 23 is formed (a label seal (a lot of shrink film)) is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the container body. However, the same function as described above can be imparted to the container 20.

FIG. 14 is a view showing another form of the container 20.
As shown in FIG. 14, the first region R <b> 1 and the second region R <b> 2 are formed in advance on the film F before being attached to the outer peripheral surface of the container main body of the container 20, and the film F is stored in the container 20. It can also be attached to the container body. In such a case, the first region R1 and the second region R2 are formed by partially applying a paint having a friction coefficient different from the friction coefficient of the film F itself to the film F to be mounted. Can be formed. Further, the first region R1 and the second region R2 can also be formed by separately coating the entire area of the film F with a paint.

  In addition, the film attached to the outer peripheral surface of the PET bottle may be coated with an outer surface paint for providing lubricity on the printing surface (outer peripheral surface) so as not to cause clogging in a vending machine or the like. is there. Therefore, a region corresponding to the second region R2 can be formed using this type of film.

FIG. 15 is a view showing another embodiment of the container 20. 1A is a front view, FIG. 1B is a rear view, and FIG. 1C is a bottom view.
The container 20 shown in the figure is a so-called PET bottle, and a film 62 having a sliding property is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the container main body. The film 62 is mounted so as to wrap around the outer peripheral surface of the container main body 60 of the container 20, and a part of the outer peripheral surface of the container main body 60 is exposed below the identification mark 23. An exposed portion 621 corresponding to is provided.

  Here, when the identification mark 23 faces the side of the display device 30, the exposed portion 621 comes into contact with the resistance applying portion 33, and a rotational force is applied to the container 20 through the exposed portion 621. As a result, the identification mark 23 faces the front side of the display device 30. On the other hand, when the identification mark 23 faces the front side of the display device 30, the resistance applying portion 33 and the film 62 come into contact with each other, and slip occurs between the resistance applying portion 33 and the film 62. . For this reason, the container 20 moves to the front of the display device 30 with the identification mark 23 facing substantially forward.

  In the above description, the case where the first region R1 and the second region R2 are formed in the container 20 has been described. However, as illustrated in FIG. 16 (a diagram for explaining the mounting member), the container 20 includes the first region R1. The first region R1 and the second region R2 can be formed on the mounting member 70 mounted on the container 20 without forming the R1 and the second region R2.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 16, the mounting member 70 is configured by a cylindrical member, and a mounting portion 71 that is mounted on the container 20 is provided on the upper surface. The mounting member 70 has a first region R1 and a second region R2 on the outer peripheral surface. Here, the mounting portion 71 is formed as a hole recessed inside the mounting member 70 and has a shape that follows the cross-sectional shape of the container 20. In the present embodiment, the shape when the mounting portion 71 is viewed from above is circular.

  Here, the first region R1 and the second region R2 of the mounting member 70 can be formed by applying a coating material or applying a seal member or a tape member in the same manner as described above. FIG. 16 illustrates the case where the tape member TA in which the first region R1 and the second region R2 are formed is pasted. The mounting member 70 is preferably formed of a member having a large friction coefficient such as rubber so that the mounting position of the container 20 and the mounting member 70 does not shift.
