Can be pushed forward. For this extrusion, the slider 13 holds a spring, for example, a spiral spring 22. The spiral spring 22 is held by the slider 13, but one end on the outer side is locked to the front inner wall of the cartridge 3. Accordingly, the cigarettes 4 housed in the cartridge 3 are sequentially pushed forward each time the cigarettes 4 are taken out from the front row side by the slider 16 biased by the spring 22. In addition, a brand display guard for the cigarette 4 as a stored product can be inserted into the front and back of the cartridge 3.

  A bell 14 is attached to the slider 13 as necessary. The bell 14 is attached to the slider 13 directly or by, for example, an inverted U-shaped bell holder 20 made of an elastic material. Each time the front-side cigarette 4 is taken out, the ladder 13 is urged by the spring 22 to suddenly advance and stop suddenly, but each time the bell 14 rings, the removal of the cigarette 4 is notified by sound.

  And this invention has the characteristics in the structure of the antitheft device 11 for goods display sales on the assumption of the said goods display sales apparatus 1. FIG. The anti-theft device 11 for selling products is composed of a slide holder 5, a hinge 6, a lock body 7, a guide 8 and a stopper 10 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in addition to FIGS. 1 and 2. ing.

  According to the illustrated example, the slide holder 5 is configured in a rectangular shape with a wire, and is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction by a holder guide 19 fixed to the upper inner surface of the side plate 15 of the tray unit 2. A handle 12 that can be operated on the back side of the tray unit 2 is integrally formed. The hinge 6 is attached to the left and right of the front upper portion of the slide holder 5 by one attachment portion, and is connected to the lock body 7 by the other attachment portion.

  The lock body 7 of FIGS. 1 to 5 is configured as a frame shape of a horizontally long (long in the left-right direction) sun-shaped or horizontally long (long in the left-right direction) with a wire rod, and above the cigarette 4. In order to prohibit the take-out of the slide holder 5, the hinge 6 is pivotally mounted about a horizontal hinge shaft, and is guided by a pair of left and right guides 8 as the slide holder 5 moves in the front-rear direction, thereby moving the hinge shaft. It is supported so as to rotate as a center.

  The pair of guides 8 is fixed at a position below the slide holder 5 on the inner surface of the side plate 15 of the tray unit 2, forms a flat surface on the rear upper surface, and has a circular arc shape with a front lowering on the front upper surface. These surfaces are in contact with the left and right lower ends of the lock body 7, and in conjunction with the movement of the slide holder 5 in the front-rear direction, the rotational posture of the lock body 7 is regulated. From the viewpoint of this function, the guide 8 acts as a kind of cam with respect to the lock body 7.

  The lock body 7 has a stopper piece 9 as necessary. The stopper pieces 9 are provided on the left and right sides of the lock body 7 and are fixed substantially at right angles to the lock body 7. The stopper 10 is provided at a front upper position of the left and right side plates 15 of the tray unit 2 and is provided in a positional relationship that prevents the lock body 7 from jumping up when it hits the stopper piece 9 when the lock body 7 is tilted forward. It has been. The stopper piece 9 can be omitted by devising the shape of the lock body 7.

  The product display / sales device 1 is usually placed on a customer service counter with its front (front) facing the customer. When the sales manager or the store clerk can select and purchase the cigarette 4 to the customer, the sales manager or the store clerk pulls the handle 12 of the slide holder 5 backward to move the slide holder 5 backward. As the slide holder 5 moves rearward, the lock body 7 rides on a flat surface behind the guide 8 and is flipped up almost horizontally as shown in FIG. When the lock body 7 is in the flip-up state, the take-out space above the frontmost cigarette 4 in the cartridge 3 is opened and the cigarette 4 can be taken out, so that the purchaser can A preferred cigarette 4 is selected, and the frontmost cigarette 4 in the cartridge 3 is taken upward to complete the payment.

  If the bell 14 is attached to the slider 13, the slider 13 suddenly moves forward and stops suddenly when the cigarette 4 is taken out. Therefore, the bell 14 rings with the sudden advance / stop, and the cigarette 4 is taken out. To the sales manager and store clerk.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, positioning projections 23, 24 are provided on the bottom plate 18 of the tray unit 2 combined with the upper surface of the tray unit 2 or the top plate 25 attached to the upper surface of the tray unit 2 as necessary. Is formed. These protrusions 23 and 24 position the slide holder 5 by displacing the bottom plate 18 or the top plate 25 by elastic deformation or engaging the handle 12 while partially elastically deforming the slide plate 5, and the slide holder after positioning. 5 is set in a state of stopping movement in the forward direction or the backward direction.

  The top plate 25 is attached to the upper opening surface of the uppermost tray unit 2 when the tray units 2 are stacked. However, when one tray unit 2 is used as a single unit without stacking the tray units 2, Each tray unit 2 is attached to the upper opening surface.

  When the sales manager or the clerk leaves the counter product display sales apparatus 1 for organizing or managing the merchandise, the sales manager or the clerk operates the handle 12 to prohibit the removal of the cigarette 4. Then, the slide holder 5 is moved forward. As the slide holder 5 moves forward, the lock body 7 is guided to the arc-shaped surface of the guide 8 as shown in FIG. 5, and rotates around the hinge 6 by its own weight. When it moves forward, it becomes inclined and closes the space for taking out the cigarette 4.

  When the lock body 7 is in the inclined posture, the lock body 7 closes the take-out space for the cigarettes 4 in the front row inside all the cartridges 3 and prohibits all the cigarettes 4 from being taken out upward. In this way, the sales prohibition state in which the selective purchase of the cigarette 4 is not possible is set. Even in this state, the purchaser confirms the presence of the favorite cigarette 4 from the gap space of the frame-shaped lock body 7 and prepares for purchase.

  In the process in which the lock body 7 moves forward together with the slide holder 5, the stopper piece 9 of the lock body 7 passes under the stopper 10 and comes out slightly before the stopper 10. In this state, when the purchaser tries to take out the favorite cigarette 4 and tries to lift the lock body 7 to the flip-up position, the stopper piece 9 of the lock body 7 hits the stopper 10 and stops and cannot be lifted. Since the lock body 7 cannot be pulled up and the take-out space above the cigarette 4 cannot be released, the cigarette 4 cannot be taken out. In this way, the theft of the cigarette 4 can be prevented in advance under the situation where the sales manager or the store clerk cannot monitor. As described above, the stopper piece 9 can be configured by the lock body 7 itself using a part of the lock body 7.

  Therefore, the purchaser calls a sales manager or a store clerk to cancel the removal prohibition state of the cigarette 4. Here, the sales manager or the store clerk pulls the handle 12 rearward, moves the slide holder 5 rearward, flips up the lock body 7 by the guide 8, releases the cigarette 4 removal prohibition state, and the cigarette 4 Can be taken out upward.

  When the lock body 7 moves rearward, the stopper piece 9 comes into contact with the lower surface of the stopper 10 and receives a downward force, or by a slight bending deformation of the slide holder 5 or the lock body 7 or the deformation thereof. Passing under the stopper 10 with no contact, rides on the flat surface behind the guide 8 and jumps up almost horizontally, returning to the original state where it can be taken out, that is, the sales state.

  Next, FIGS. 6 and 7 show an example in which the lock body 7 is made of a plastic material instead of a wire. As shown in FIG. 6, the lock body 7 can also be constituted by a transparent or opaque plate material, for example, a cylindrical plate-like plastic plate. Unlike the lock body 7 made of a wire rod, the cylindrical surface-shaped lock body 7 covers the upper surface of the cigarette 4 in the front row without a gap, and completely closes the take-out space above the cigarette 4. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, the lock body 7 can also be comprised with the plastic molded product which has a front surface, an upper surface, and a left-right side surface.

  6 and 7, when the lock body 7 rotates around the hinge 6 by its own weight, falls in front of the frontmost cigarette 4 in an inclined state or a vertical state, and the take-out space for the cigarette 4 is closed, the purchaser When the lock body 7 is to be lifted up to the flip-up position, a part of the lock body 7, the top surface or a ridge line portion between the top surface and the front surface in FIG. 6, and the top surface (horizontal surface) in FIG. Therefore, the purchaser cannot raise the lock body 7 and cannot take out the cigarette 4. As in these examples, since a part of the lock body 7 directly contacts the stopper 10, the stopper piece 9 becomes unnecessary.

  In the example shown in the figure, the products to be sold and sold are mainly cigarettes 4, but the product display and sales apparatus 1 can also be used for selling and displaying products in the same form as the cigarettes 4.

  Moreover, although the said specific example has demonstrated the antitheft device 11 for merchandise display sale as a mechanism attached to the tray unit 2, the slide holder 5, the hinge 6, the lock body 7, the guide 8, and the holder guide 19, If the protrusions 23 and 24 are unitized as necessary and manufactured as a structure having a size that can be attached to various types of tray units 2, the unitized antitheft device 11 for sale of merchandise displays various types of trays. The unit 2 can be used by being incorporated.
