Description

  In the vending machine, products such as canned beverages and plastic bottled beverages are stored in a cold and hot state in a cabinet of a main body cabinet, and a plurality of products are stored on a display stand installed in a display chamber of an outer door. This relates to a product sample display device for a vending machine that displays the product samples arranged side by side.

  A product sample display apparatus of this type of conventional vending machine will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a vending machine that sells general canned beverages and plastic bottled beverages. As shown in the figure, the vending machine includes a main body cabinet 10 formed as a heat-insulating housing whose front surface is open, and an outer door 20 supported on the front surface of the main body cabinet 10 so as to be openable and closable. The front surface of the product storage of the main body cabinet 10 is closed by a heat insulating inner door 30 that can be opened and closed. In the cabinet of the main body cabinet 10, a product rack that is divided into a plurality of product storage rooms in the left-right direction by a heat insulating partition wall, stores products in a lying state in each product storage room, and has a product carry-out device at the lower end. In addition, a cooling / heating unit that cools or heats each product storage chamber to store the product stored in the product rack in a cold hot state is disposed at the lower end of each product storage chamber. .

  The upper area of the front surface of the outer door 20 is covered with a transparent plate 40, and a space between the transparent plate 40 and the middle door 60 supported by the outer door 20 so as to be opened and closed is formed as a display chamber 50. On the front surface of the inner door 60, a display stand 70 is mounted in which a plurality of three-dimensional product samples 80 corresponding to the products stored in the cabinet of the main body cabinet 10 are placed side by side in three rows in the vertical direction. ing. The transparent plate 40 is provided with a product selection button unit 90 at a position facing each display stand 70, and the product selection button unit 90 corresponds to each three-dimensional product sample 80 placed on the display stand 70. Product selection buttons (not shown) arranged in a line on the left and right are provided. Further, on the front surface of the outer door 20, a coin insertion port that communicates with the coin identification device 201, a bill insertion port that communicates with the bill identification device 202, a coin return port, a return lever, a handle with a lock, a product outlet 203, and the like are provided. It has been.

  Although the display table 70 is well known and not shown in detail, the display table 70 includes a pair of left and right fixing members fixed to the inner door 60 and a product mounting table that is detachably mounted on the pair of left and right fixing members. The product mounting table is provided with an illumination light source such as a fluorescent lamp inside a horizontally long box-like body having a substantially U-shaped vertical cross section and opened downward, and an engagement for holding and fitting a three-dimensional product sample 80 on the upper surface wall. A plurality of holes are juxtaposed in the left-right direction.

  The three-dimensional product sample 80 is configured to provide a light introducing portion on the bottom surface of a hollow main body formed of a light transmitting material, and to illuminate the main body from the inside by introducing light into the main body from the light introducing portion. Has been. When the three-dimensional product sample 80 is fitted and held in an engagement hole formed in the display stand 70, the light from the illumination light source provided in the display stand 70 is aligned with the engagement hole of the display stand 70 and the three-dimensional product. It is well known that a hollow product sample is irradiated through the light introducing portion formed at the bottom of the sample 80 and the product sample is displayed as if it is emitting light. The three-dimensional product sample 80 is a three-dimensional product, specifically, a product sample having a hollow main body that matches the shape of a container such as a can, bottle, or plastic bottle, or the hollow main body is halved in the vertical direction. Although a cut half sample product is generally used, it cannot be fitted into the engagement hole of the display stand 70. For example, empty beverages such as cans, bottles, and plastic bottles that have been extracted When exhibiting a container etc., it is comprised so that an empty container may be exhibited using the product sample display attachment which can be attached or detached to the engagement hole of the display stand 70 (for example, patent document 1).

  Further, the cold and hot state of the product corresponding to each three-dimensional product sample 80 is displayed on the front surface of the display stand 70 in order to display the storage state of the product in the warehouse (the product is cold or hot) and the product price. While it is common to install a cold temperature display member that displays a cold temperature pattern (blue that is cold, red that is warm) and a price display member that displays price information of the product price, In order to facilitate the change of price information at the time of change, there is also known that price display is performed using a product information display unit equipped with a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a 7-segment numeric display instead of a price display member. (For example, Patent Document 2).

  By the way, in addition to the three-dimensional product sample described in Patent Document 1, a sheet-shaped product sample made of a rectangular flat plate in which the appearance design of a product is printed on a plastic sheet is known. It is desired to display product samples side by side on the same display stand. However, it is difficult to directly fit the sheet-like product sample into the opening of the display stand like the three-dimensional product sample. For this reason, it is conceivable to provide a product sample display attachment that includes an engagement portion that holds the sheet-shaped product sample and engages with the engagement hole of the display stand. However, since the sheet-like product sample is made of a thin plastic sheet with low rigidity, when only the lower end of the sheet-like product sample is held, the sheet-like product sample cannot be maintained in the standing posture and is bent. For this reason, the product sample display attachment must be large enough to hold the periphery of the elongated sheet-shaped product sample, which has the problem of increasing costs.

  In vending machines, the cooling / heating operation is stopped at the peak demand to reduce power consumption, but efforts are being made to turn off the lights to further reduce power consumption. ing. In this case, the price display unit described in Patent Document 2 is also subject to power shut-off without much leakage. In this way, as a countermeasure when the power supply of the price display unit is shut off, it may be possible to attach a price display member displaying price information of the product price to the display base, but in this case, the cost increases. It is common to attach a price sticker displaying price information. However, when attaching the price sticker, the position of the price sticker depends on the intuition of the operator performing the maintenance work. In other words, there is no need to be aware of the price information display area by the price display unit on the display stand, and when trying to attach a price sticker, the position of the price sticker must be relied on the operator's intuition. I don't get it. A plurality of price stickers are present on one display stand, that is, a plurality of price stickers corresponding to a plurality of product samples displayed on the display stand, and must be attached with a good appearance. The appearance means that the height positions of a plurality of pasted price stickers are constant (on the same horizontal line) and are equally spaced in the left-right direction corresponding to the plurality of product samples, If it does not look good, it may give the user a bad impression (the impression that the product is handled roughly) and miss the sales opportunity. In this case, if it is allowed to take time to put the price sticker, it is possible to stick the price sticker even if the operator's intuition is reliable, but it takes time to put the price sticker. This is not allowed because it misses sales opportunities. Therefore, there is a problem that it is extremely difficult to attach the price sticker with a good appearance within a short time.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the object thereof is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to display a mixture of a three-dimensional product sample and a sheet-shaped product sample on one display stand. Another object of the present invention is to provide a product sample display device for a vending machine capable of attaching a price sticker with a good appearance in a short time.

Can be added to the display stand to display the three-dimensional product sample and the sheet-like product sample on one display stand. If the product information display unit is turned off and the product price information is turned off, the product price information can be displayed by attaching a price sticker to the transparent flat plate of the product sample display attachment. In this case, since the label portion indicating the position where the price sticker is attached is provided on the transparent flat plate portion of the product sample display attachment, the price sticker can be attached with a good appearance in a short time.

  According to the product sample display device for a vending machine according to claim 2, in the product sample display device for the vending machine according to claim 1, the marking portion is formed as a concave or convex lens. Thus, when the price information of the product price is displayed by the product information display unit, the price information can be enlarged and displayed by the lens effect of the display unit.

Therefore, the rigidity of the sheet-like product sample made of a thin flat plate can be increased, and thereby the sheet-like product sample can be maintained in the standing posture.

  According to a merchandise sample display device for a vending machine according to claim 4, in the merchandise sample display device for a vending machine according to claim 1, the product sample display device is connected to the upper part of the horizontally long strip-shaped transparent flat plate portion in the product sample display attachment. The holding portion formed in this manner has a single holding groove for holding the lower end of the sheet-shaped product sample, and the plurality of holding tools are formed in a curved shape so as to protrude forward. Thus, since the sheet-like product sample having the lower end attached to the holding groove is curved following the curve of the holding groove, the rigidity can be increased even when the sheet-like product sample is formed of a thin flat plate, Sheet-shaped product samples can be displayed in a stable standing posture.

The product selection button unit 90 hides it from the front of the machine.

  Now, a product sample display attachment 6A for displaying the sheet-shaped product sample 81 on the display stand 1A in a standing posture will be described with reference to FIGS. The product sample display attachment 6A includes a transparent flat plate portion 61A having a size corresponding to a horizontally long transparent cover member 74 (see FIG. 8B) disposed on the front surface of the product information digital display 7, and This is a plastic molded product composed of a holder 63A formed continuously to the upper part of the transparent flat plate portion 61A. The transparent flat plate portion 61 </ b> A is formed in a horizontally long strip shape having a lateral width corresponding to the interval between the left and right engaging claws 733 formed on the decorative frame 73 of the product information digital display 7. At a predetermined position on the flat plate surface of the transparent flat plate portion 61A, a marking portion 62A composed of a plurality of concave lenses is formed. A holder 63A formed continuously to the upper part of the transparent flat plate portion 61A, in this example, 12 members for fitting and holding the three-dimensional product sample 80 formed on the upper surface wall 31A of the product placing table 3A. The twelve holders 63A provided corresponding to the joint holes 311A (see FIG. 8) are each formed in a convex curved shape on the front side, and each holding groove 631 (see FIG. 10). In the holding groove 631, a thin sheet-like product sample 81 is inserted, and the sheet-like product sample 81 is held. In order to hold the thin sheet-like product sample 81, the groove width of the holding groove 631 must be formed as a minute gap. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, the inner wall of the holding groove 631 is formed in a sawtooth shape that alternately meshes, and is configured such that a minute gap is formed between the tips of both sawtooth.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 10, the holding groove 631 is a saw tooth that is opposed to at least the left and right end portions 632 and 632 of the holding groove 631 and the central portion 633 among the saw teeth formed so as to alternately mesh with the inner wall. The distance L10 between the leading ends of the sheet is made narrow so as to substantially match the thickness of the sheet-like product sample 81, and the distance L20 between the tips of the saw blades facing each other in the other regions is relatively small with respect to the thickness of the sheet-like product sample 81 It is configured as wide and wide. As described above, the holding grooves 631 are formed by dispersing the narrow grooves having the distance L10 substantially matching the thickness of the sheet-like product sample 81, while the other grooves except the narrow grooves are formed by the sheet-like product sample. Since it is formed as a wide groove having a relatively wide interval L20 with respect to the thickness of 81, the sheet-shaped product sample 81 may be inserted into the dispersed narrow grooves. Therefore, when the holding groove 631 is a narrow groove over the entire area, the holding groove 631 is also curved, and it takes time to insert the sheet-like product sample 81 into the holding groove 631. On the other hand, when narrow grooves are dispersed, it is only necessary to insert into the holding grooves 631 of the sheet-like product sample 81 into the dispersed narrow grooves, so that the insertion operation becomes easier, and the sheet-like product sample 81 becomes easier. Can be easily inserted into the holding groove 621A. Moreover, since the sheet-like product sample 81 is held by the dispersed narrow grooves, the sheet-like product sample 81 can be maintained in a curved state, and the sheet-like product sample 81 made of a thin plastic sheet can be stably raised. It can be displayed in a posture.

  Next, the attachment of the product sample display attachment 6A to the display stand 1A will be described. The product sample display attachment 6A removes the horizontally long strip-shaped transparent cover member 74 provided on the front surface of the product information digital display 7, and then disposes the transparent flat plate portion 61A on the front surface of the decorative frame 73. The locking claw 733 formed on the frame 73 is locked and fixed. Thus, the sheet-like product sample 81 is inserted into the holding groove 631 of the holder 63A of the product sample display attachment 6A attached to the display stand 1A. In this case, the sheet-like product sample 81 is held by the holder 63A in a state where only a part of the lower end is inserted into the holding groove 631, but the sheet-like product sample 81 is curved because the holding groove 631 is curved. 81 also stands up in a curved state so as to protrude forward in plan view following the curvature of the holding groove 631. Thus, by curving and holding the sheet-like product sample 81, the sheet-like product sample 81 made of a thin plastic sheet can be maintained in a stable standing posture. Then, the sheet-shaped product sample 81 and the three-dimensional product sample 80 are appropriately attached to the plurality of holders 63A of the product sample display attachment 6A and the plurality of engaging holes 311A of the product mounting table 3A, thereby appropriately providing the sheet-shaped product sample 81.

  On the other hand, when the product information digital display 7 is turned off to save power, a price sticker 52 (see FIG. 9) that displays the price information of the product price is used instead of the price information 76 of the product information digital display 7. Hereinafter, the attachment of the price seal 52 will be described. In this embodiment, the price sticker 52 is attached to the transparent flat plate portion 61A of the product sample display attachment 6A. In this case, after opening the outer door 20 (see FIG. 11) of the vending machine, the front door of the display stand 1A is exposed by opening the inner door 60 locked to the outer door 20 in a closed state. Then, after removing the product sample display attachment 6A attached to the display stand 1A, the price sticker 52 is attached to the transparent flat plate portion 61A of the product sample display attachment 6A. Here, an indicator 62A, that is, a mark indicating the position where the price sticker 52 is attached is formed on the transparent flat plate 61A of the product sample display attachment 6A. The price sticker 52 is pasted on the indicator 62A. You can attach it. Thus, since the price sticker 52 should just be affixed according to the marking part 62A, the sticking work of the price sticker 52 can be performed very easily, and it becomes possible to shorten the sticking work time.

  Further, in this case, since the marking unit 62A is determined so as to face the price information 76 of the product price displayed on each liquid crystal display unit 71 of the product information digital display 7, the height position thereof is determined. Constant (on the same horizontal line) and equally spaced in the left-right direction corresponding to a plurality of product samples, and the height positions of the plurality of price stickers 52 attached to the marking portion 62A are also constant ( On the same horizontal line) and at equal intervals in the left-right direction corresponding to the plurality of product samples 80, 81. Therefore, if the product sample display attachment 6A to which the price seal 52 is attached is attached to the display stand 1A again, the price information 76 displayed on the respective liquid crystal display portions 71 of the product information digital display 7 shown in FIG. The price information of the price sticker 52 is displayed at substantially the same position. That is, the price seal 52 has a constant height position (on the same horizontal line) and is equally spaced in the left-right direction corresponding to a plurality of product samples, so that the appearance is not impaired.

  In the product sample display device of the vending machine according to the second embodiment, when the product information digital display 7 is powered off to save power, the sheet-shaped product sample displayed on the display stand 1A is displayed. The cold temperature information 75 indicating the cold and hot states of the 81 and the three-dimensional product sample 80 is also turned off. Therefore, a cold / warm seal (not shown) displaying cold / warm information can be attached to the transparent flat plate portion 61A of the product sample display attachment 6A. In this case, it is preferable to provide a marking portion as a mark for the position where the cold / hot seal is attached. Thus, by providing the marking part, the time required for attaching the cold / warm seal can be shortened and the appearance is not impaired.

  According to the vending machine product sample display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention described above, a plurality of three-dimensional objects are arranged in the display chamber 50 formed in the outer door 20 that opens and closes the front surface of the main body cabinet 10.
