Description

The present invention relates to a storage tool and a storage method.

  The bookshelf that stores a plurality of pamphlets such as pamphlets is structured such that a user interested in the contents can freely take out a predetermined number of books. Moreover, such bookshelves are not only intended for storage, but also serve as advertisements by making the brochure stand out. In such a shelf-type storage, as shown in FIG. 7, when a large number of pamphlets 40 of the same size are stored, they overlap each other, and in many cases, a plurality of sheets are taken out at the same time and are difficult to take out. It was. Further, when the number of stored brochures 40 becomes a small number, there is a problem that the front of the brochure 40 collapses, characters and diagrams of the brochure 40 cannot be seen, and the advertising effect cannot be exhibited. One cause of this problem is a phenomenon that the bottom plate 51 is level and has no slope, and therefore, when the brochure set 4 consisting of a small number of sheets is inserted, the bottom plate 51 falls over the front plate 52 of the storage unit 5.

  In patent document 1, in order to prevent falling down, at least a part of the lower part of the stored item is pressed forward.

  In Patent Document 2, in a storage box that stores continuous forms that are inclined in the width direction as the amount of deposition increases when placed on a horizontal plane, the reverse is performed at an angle that is approximately ½ of the inclination angle with respect to the uppermost horizontal plane. By using a spacer having an inclined surface inclined in the direction, the inclination of the stored item is reduced.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a structure in which an advertisement sheet is always pressure-bonded by a roller and protruded upward by rotation of the roller so that the advertisement sheet can be easily taken.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to obtain a storage device that can be easily taken out one by one without damaging the stored items.

  Since the method of Patent Document 1 applies strain to the stored item, the stored item is easily damaged. Also, this method cannot prevent a plurality of stored items from being pulled out.

  Since the method of Patent Document 2 is premised on horizontal placement, the advertising effect cannot be exhibited unlike the book rack method. Further, even with this method, the stored items are completely overlapped in the horizontal state, so that it is not possible to prevent a plurality of items from being pulled out.

In the utility model document 1, the advertising sheets are easily damaged by the rollers, and in order to take out the sheets one by one, it is necessary to finely adjust the pressing force of the rollers.
An object of this invention is to provide the storage tool which solves the said subject.

  According to the present invention, a substantially vertical first plane (back plate), a second plane (front plate) facing the first plane substantially in parallel, the back plate and the front plate, between both surfaces. A bottom plate, and the height of the front plate is lower than the height of a plurality of items stored in the back plate, the front plate, and a plurality of recesses surrounded by the bottom plate, the back plate, and the bottom plate A storage device is obtained in which the angle between and is non-right angle.

  An effect of the present invention is to obtain a storage tool that can be easily taken out one by one without damaging the stored items.

FIG. 1 is an overall view showing a state in which the storage device according to the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention is attached to a vending machine. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view, a front view, a top view, and a perspective view of the storage device according to the first and fourth embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ (FIG. 1) of the storage device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A '(FIG. 1) of the storage device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a time change of the position of the pamphlet after the pamphlet is put in the storage device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ (FIG. 1) of the storage device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is an A-A ′ cross section of a general storage device. FIG. 8 shows the relationship between the pamphlet steps and the bottom plate inclination angle according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  FIG. 7 shows a general storage tool 5. Since the pamphlet set 4 is stored in a state where the upper ends are aligned, even if only one sheet is taken out, a plurality of sheets may overlap and be taken out. Further, when the number of sheets decreases, the brochure set 4 falls on the front plate 52 and the display of the brochure 40 becomes difficult to see. The following is an explanation of an embodiment of the present invention that improves this and makes it easier to take out the pamphlet 40.

  In addition, FIG. 1 has shown the state which attached the storage tool 3 of this invention to the vending machine 1. FIG. The storage tool 3 is attached to the booth 2 of the vending machine 1. The A-A ′ cross-sectional view shown below is a cross-sectional view of the storage tool 3 cut in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface along the line A-A ′.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 2 shows the entire storage device 3 of the present embodiment. (A) is sectional drawing and front view of AA 'of the storage tool 3. FIG. In the case of the storage tool 3 of this embodiment and having no side plate, the side view and the cross-sectional view of AA ′ are the same regardless of the position of AA ′. (B) has shown the upper side figure of the storage tool 3. FIG. (C) is a perspective view of the storage tool 3. As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 2A, the bottom plate 31 is inclined at an angle θ (θ> 90 degrees) with the back plate 34 so as to descend from the back plate 34 toward the front plate 32, for example. The storage tool 3 may have a side plate (not shown).

  Fig.3 (a) is AA 'sectional drawing of the storage tool 3 at the time of putting a storage thing. The storage tool 3 stores a brochure set 4 in which a plurality of brochures 40 are vertically stacked in a storage recess 30 in the vertical direction. The height of the front plate 32 is lower than the height of the brochure 40 stored in the recess 30, and a person who desires the brochure 40 can take out the required number of brochures 40 from the upper part of the front plate 32 of the storage tool 3. When the brochure set 4 is inserted into the storage recess 30, the lower ends of the plurality of brochures 40 come into contact with the bottom plate 31 having a gradient. In this process, the contact surfaces of the plurality of brochures 40 are displaced, so that air enters between the brochures 40 and the brochures 40 are easily separated from each other. As a result, the pamphlet set 4 is arranged in a state where the upper ends thereof are shifted in the height direction along the gradient, so that the pamphlets 40 are easily separated from each other also in this form. Therefore, even when only one pamphlet 40 is required, it is difficult to cause waste that two or more pamphlets are overlapped and taken out. Further, the present embodiment also makes it possible to accurately count and take out a predetermined number. In this embodiment, since no instrument that damages the brochure 40 is used, the state of the brochure 40 is not different from the state before storage.

  The direction of inclination of the bottom plate 31 is not limited to the direction of descending from the back plate 34 toward the front plate 32. As shown in FIG. 3B, the inclination direction may be a downward direction from the front plate 32 toward the back plate 34. In other words, the angle formed by the bottom plate 31 and the back plate 34 may be larger than 90 degrees or smaller than 90 degrees as long as it is a non-right angle.

  However, in order to sufficiently exhibit the effect that only one sheet can be easily taken out, it is often desirable that the difference in height between adjacent brochures 40 is about the thickness of the minimum brochure 40. (If the thickness of the pamphlet 40 is relatively large, this will not be described later.) When the pamphlet 40 is approximated to be a rectangular parallelepiped, as shown in FIG. When the thickness of 40 is equal (when f = d in FIG. 8), θ-90 is 45 degrees. Therefore, the angle θ when the angle is larger than 90 degrees is preferably about 135 degrees. Since this angle provides an appropriate level difference between the pamphlets 40 according to the thickness, the pamphlet 40 can be easily taken out. Note that the angle θ may be a larger value when there is a circumstance such that a certain area on the upper surface of each pamphlet 40 is desired to be visible from the front.

  If the pamphlet 40 is relatively thick and the height difference between adjacent pamphlets 40 is not necessarily greater than the thickness of the pamphlet 40, the angle θ may be smaller than this value. For example, when the thickness of the pamphlet 40 is 1 cm and the step is 0.5 cm, the angle θ is about 117 degrees, which is smaller than 135 degrees.

  When the angle θ is larger than 90 degrees, the upper limit value of the angle θ is preferably about 160 degrees at which the pamphlet 40 is stably stored and the step is twice the thickness of the pamphlet 40.

  Even when θ is smaller than 90 degrees, the range of θ is calculated in the same manner as described above. Note that the above is merely an example of the present embodiment, and the user can appropriately select θ according to the shape of the vending machine.

  Of the materials constituting the container 3, the material constituting the front plate 32 is preferably a transparent material such as vinyl chloride, acrylic, glass or the like. However, when exposing only the characters and designs necessary for the advertiser, a structure in which a window is opened in a non-transparent material may be used. The material that constitutes other than the front plate 32 is not particularly limited. Any of plastic, wood, metal, ceramic, paper, cloth, etc. can be used in this embodiment.

The effect of the present embodiment is to facilitate the removal of stored items one by one without damaging the stored items in a storage device that stores flat stored items such as pamphlets.
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 4 shows a state in which the convex portion 33 is attached to the front plate 32 of the storage device 3 in order to make the brochure 40 stand out from the customer and exhibit the advertising effect. FIG. 5 shows a change in the position of the pamphlet set 40 from when the pamphlet set 4 is placed in the storage recess 30 until it moves on the bottom plate 31 and stops. When the brochure set 4 is placed in the storage recess 30 (a), the lower end of the brochure set 4 moves along the gradient of the bottom plate 31 (b). The rearmost pamphlet 40 of the pamphlet set 4 is in a state of being inclined toward the back plate 34 (c) because the upper end side leans against the back plate 34. Since the convex portion 33 prevents the brochure 40 from falling toward the front plate 32, the customer can see the display contents of the brochure 40 well until the last one. Since the convex portion 33 of the present embodiment hardly damages the brochure 40, the state of the brochure 40 is hardly different from the state before storage.

  As long as the method of attaching the convex portion 33 to the front plate 32 is a method that does not impede the advertising effect, any method such as bonding with an adhesive, screwing, or fitting may be used.

  The material which comprises the storage tool 3 can be selected similarly to 1st Embodiment. The material of the convex portion 33 is desirably a transparent material such as vinyl chloride, acrylic, glass, or the like, but it is not necessary to select a material as long as it has a size that does not impede the advertising effect.

The effect of this embodiment is that, in a storage device that stores flat storage items such as pamphlets, it is easy to take out the stored items one by one without damaging the storage items, It is to increase advertising effectiveness. The effect of this embodiment is to prevent the phenomenon that the brochure 40 falls down toward the front plate 32.
(Third embodiment)
FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, in the first embodiment, an extrusion mechanism 6 that holds the pamphlet set 4 with a surface is attached to the back plate 34. The push-out mechanism 6 prevents the pamphlet set 4 from curling and falling down toward the back plate 34 when the pamphlet set 4 becomes a small number, and preventing the pamphlet 40 from being easily taken out.

  The push-out mechanism 6 includes a spring 7 and a contact plate 8. The metal spring 7 includes a plastic contact plate 8, and the metal spring 7 does not directly contact the pamphlet 40. The spring 7 expands and contracts in the depth direction of the storage recess 30 depending on the thickness of the brochure set 4. The natural length of the spring 7 is equal to or greater than the depth in the depth direction, and even if the pamphlet set 4 is the last one (or one), the pamphlet 40 is not rounded back.

  The height of the front plate 32 in the third embodiment is at least higher than the height of the upper end of the spring 7 in order to prevent the push-out mechanism 6 from collapsing at the edge of the front plate 32 of the brochure 40. This height is such that there is no problem in taking out the pamphlet 40. It is possible to prevent the brochure 40 from becoming difficult to see due to the increase in height by using a transparent material for the front plate 32 as necessary.

  Since the natural length of the spring 7 is equal to or greater than the depth in the depth direction of the storage recess 30, the surface of the pamphlet 40 can be kept flat even when the pamphlet set 4 is the last one (or one). Further, since the pushing mechanism 6 pushes the pamphlet 40 on a flat surface, damage to the pamphlet 40 is extremely small as compared with the case where the pamphlet is pushed up by a roller. In addition, the extrusion mechanism 6 can also be comprised with elastic bodies other than a spring. Rubber, bellows, etc. can be used as the extrusion mechanism 6. Moreover, as long as the material of the contact plate 8 does not damage the brochure set 4, a material other than plastic, such as rubber or cloth, may be used.

  The effect of the present embodiment is that in a storage device that stacks and stores planar storage items such as pamphlets, the storage item can be easily taken out without damaging the storage item, and the storage device falls down toward the back plate 34. It is to prevent the phenomenon.

Although the above embodiment demonstrated the storage tool 3 without a side surface, a side surface can also be attached as needed. Moreover, although the above embodiment presupposes fixing the storage tool 3 to structures, such as the vending machine 1, the storage tool 3 does not necessarily need to be fixed to a structure. By attaching the legs to the lower part of the storage tool 3, the storage tool 3 can be installed alone without being supported by the structure.
