JP 2009-66251 A (Claim 1, Claim 2)

  However, the rice ball display device and display method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-66251 has an inclined installation surface and is not suitable for display of circular rice balls. In recent years, the demand for circular rice balls has increased, and there has been a demand for the development of a special rice ball display shelf with excellent mounting stability for both circular rice balls and triangular rice balls. In addition, with the rapid demand for rice balls in a specific time zone, a rice ball located at the rear of the display shelf is quickly moved forward, while a new rice ball is displayed at the rear position frequently. Onigiri has a product name label on the abdomen and is usually displayed on the upper part of a multi-level shelf, so the rice ball can be moved sideways in the horizontal direction and moved forward for forward movement. Development of was desired.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a rice ball display shelf that is excellent in mounting stability for both circular rice balls and triangular rice balls, and that can smoothly move the rice balls in the lateral direction and move forward in the forward direction. It is to provide.

  In such a situation, as a result of intensive studies, the present inventor has repeatedly formed unit mounting portions including hollow portions in the lateral direction, and the unit display portions having a concave shape in side view are continuously displayed in the front-rear and rear directions. If it is a shelf, it will be found that both a circular rice ball and a triangular rice ball are excellent in mounting stability, and the rice ball can be moved laterally in the horizontal direction and smoothly moved forward for forward movement, thereby completing the present invention. It came to.

  That is, the present invention is a display shelf having a saw blade-like display surface in which a unit display portion having a concave shape in a side view in which the mounted rice ball takes a backward inclined posture is continuous in the front-rear direction, and the unit display portion The present invention provides a rice ball display shelf in which unit placement portions including recess portions in the lateral direction are repeatedly formed.

  In addition, the present invention provides the above-described rice ball display shelf, wherein the unit placing portion is formed of a hollow portion and a gently curved convex portion in the lateral direction.

  Further, the present invention provides the above-described rice ball display shelf, wherein the unit placement portion is formed of a hollow portion and a flat portion in the lateral direction.

  Further, the present invention provides the above-described rice ball display shelf, wherein the unit display section includes a front inclined surface portion whose side view is inclined backward and downward and a rear round surface portion whose side view is rounded. It is.

  Further, the present invention provides the above-described rice ball display shelf characterized in that the backward downward inclination of the front inclined surface portion is a linear inclination.

  In addition, the present invention provides the above-described rice ball display shelf, wherein the recess has an arcuate cross section and a shallow depth.

  Further, the present invention provides the above-described rice ball display shelf, wherein the inclination of the front inclined surface portion is gentler than the maximum inclination of the rear end portion of the rear round surface portion.

  In addition, the present invention provides the above-mentioned rice ball display shelf characterized by mounting a circular rice ball, a triangular rice ball, or both a circular rice ball and a triangular rice ball.

  According to the present invention, since the lower part of the circular rice ball fits into the recessed part, the lateral movement is restricted, and the backward inclination is supported by the rear wall (rear concave part) of the unit display part, so that the forward / backward movement is restricted. Is done. In addition, since the triangle rice ball has one side larger than the depression, the placement surface (bottom surface) is placed on the gently curved protrusion or flat surface of the unit placement section regardless of the depression. The movement in the back and forth direction is restricted because the rear wall (rear concave part) of the unit display part supports the rearward inclined posture. For this reason, both circular rice balls and triangular rice balls have excellent mounting stability. In addition, since the inclination of the front inclined surface portion is gentler than the maximum inclination of the rear end portion of the rear round surface portion, the front side of one blade (projection) of the saw blade stands, and the rear side is sleeping, The rice balls can be moved forward smoothly. Further, when the circular rice ball is moved in the lateral direction, it is only necessary to exceed the gentle slope that forms the recess, and the movement in the lateral direction by the operator can be performed smoothly. Further, when the triangle rice ball is moved in the horizontal direction, only the flat surface is moved, and the movement in the horizontal direction by the operator can be performed smoothly.

It is a perspective view of the shelf for onigiri display in the embodiment of the present invention. It is a top view of the rice ball display shelf of FIG. It is a side view of the rice ball display shelf of FIG. It is the figure seen along the YY line of FIG. It is the figure seen along the XX line of FIG. It is the fragmentary figure which expanded a part of FIG. It is a state diagram in which a circular rice ball is placed on the unit placement portion. It is a state diagram in which a triangular rice ball is placed on the unit placement portion. It is a figure explaining the movement operation | work of the front and back of a rice ball and a horizontal direction.

  Next, the rice ball display shelf in the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The rice ball display shelf 10 is a display shelf having a saw blade display surface 11 in which unit display portions 4 having a concave shape when viewed from the side in which the mounted rice balls A and B are inclined backward are continuous in the front-rear direction. The unit display portion 4 is formed by repeatedly forming a unit placement portion 5 including a hollow portion 51 in the lateral direction and a gently curved projection 52 that is nearly flat.

  The rice ball display shelf 10 has a square shape in a plan view, and usually at a convenience store or the like, one or more of the rice ball display shelves are arranged side by side in a horizontal posture or a slightly downwardly inclined posture between brackets of a multi-stage display shelf in a cold case. Installed.

  The display surface 11 includes a plurality of unit display portions 4 that constitute one display portion in the front-rear direction, that is, nine in this example. Further, a plurality of rice balls, four circular rice balls in this example, and three triangular rice balls can be placed on the unit display portion 4 (four unit placement portions). Thereby, it is possible to display a suitable number for sale, in this example, 36 circular rice balls and 27 triangular rice balls. The number of unit display units 4 is not limited to nine, and is appropriately determined in the range of 6 to 12. Moreover, the unit mounting part 5 is not limited to four, and is suitably determined in three or six ranges.

  In the rice ball display shelf 10, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the unit display portion 4 has a concave shape in a side view such that the mounted rice balls A and B have a backward inclined posture. Thereby, the mounted rice balls A and B can be set in a backward inclined posture. The unit display portion 4 includes a front inclined surface portion 41 whose side view is inclined downwardly downward (slowly inclined) and a rear concave surface portion 42 whose side view is rounded. That is, the inclination (inclination angle α) of the front inclined surface portion 41 is gentler than the maximum inclination (inclination angle β) of the rear end portion of the rear concave surface portion 42 (α <β) (see FIG. 3). As a result, the front and rear surfaces of the projections 43 corresponding to the saw blade are standing on the connecting portion 43 of the unit display portions 4 adjacent to the front and rear, and the rear surface is sleeping. When moving forward to the F side), the protrusion 43 does not become a major obstacle for the operator and can be moved smoothly. On the other hand, since the front surface of the protrusion 43 stands, it functions as a backrest when the rice ball is placed.

  The length of the unit display part 4 in the front-rear direction (in FIG. 3, reference numeral 41 + reference numeral 42) is 39.6 ± 3 mm, the height (h) of the projection 43 is 4 ± 1 mm, and the inclination (inclination angle) of the front inclined surface part 41 α) is preferably 30 ± 5 degrees, and the maximum inclination (inclination angle β) of the rear end is preferably 70 ± 5 degrees. In addition, it is preferable that the backward downward inclination of the front inclined surface part 41 is a linear inclination. Thereby, it becomes the flat surface 41 of the front part adjacent to the hollow part 51, and becomes suitable for mounting the triangular rice ball B.

  The unit display part 4 is formed by repeatedly forming the unit placing part 5 including the recessed part 51 in the lateral direction. The unit mounting portion 5 is preferably composed of a concave portion 51 in the lateral direction and a gently curved convex portion 52 close to a flat surface, or a portion composed of the concave portion 51 and the flat portion in the lateral direction. The gently curved convex portion may be a curved surface that is symmetrical with the half shape in the lateral direction of the recess 51. Such a cross-sectional shape of the unit display portion 4 is a repetitive structure of a concavo-convex wave having a gentle and substantially same wavelength. Thus, by making the both sides of the hollow part 5 into a gentle curved surface, when a triangular rice ball is placed, it is possible to prevent one-sided hitting. That is, the unit mounting portion 5 includes a dent 51, a gently curved convex 52 adjacent to the dent 51 on the right side, a gradual curved convex 52 adjacent to the left 51, and a dent 51. And a flat portion 41 adjacent to the front. In other words, the left and right sides of the recess 51 are gently curved convex portions 52, and the front portion is the flat portion 41. Note that the rear wall of the recess 51 is the rear concave surface 42 as it is. Thereby, it becomes a suitable thing for mounting the triangular rice ball B. Moreover, the hollow part 51 is a thing with a circular cross-section and shallow depth. From the depression 51 to the gently curved convex portion 52, the transition is a gentle continuous shape. The depth of the recess 51 is 2 ± 0.2 mm, particularly about 2 mm, the width of the recess 51 in the front-rear direction is 31.6 ± 3 mm, and the length of the unit mounting portion 5 is 70. ˜80 mm, especially about 70 mm. Reference sign Z in FIG. 6 is a gently curved convex portion close to a flat surface formed between adjacent recess portions 51.

  In the rice ball display shelf 10, an overturn prevention plate 2 extending in an upright manner from the front end of the display surface 11 is attached in front of the display surface 11. The fall prevention plate 2 is preferably slightly higher than the protrusion 43. This effectively prevents the rice balls from falling forward. At both ends of the fall prevention plate 2, protruding pieces 21 that extend slightly to the rear side are formed. Thereby, when taking out the rice ball display shelf 10, the hand hook is improved and it becomes easy to hold. In the rice ball display shelf 10, a rear fall prevention plate 3 extending upright from the rear end of the display surface 11 is attached to the rear of the display surface 11. The rear fall prevention plate 3 has a function similar to that of the rear wall of the unit display surface 4 and is substantially the same height as the rear wall of the unit display surface 4. Even if the rear fall prevention plate 3 is somewhat low, it does not matter because the rear wall of the cold case is close. In the rice ball display shelf 10, the fall prevention plate 2 and the rear fall prevention plate 3 are optional components.

  Further, in the rice ball display shelf 10, a notch 6 is attached to the bottom of the rear surface of both side plates of the display surface 11. Accordingly, the rice ball display shelf 10 can be stably temporarily fixed (temporarily held) by simply hooking the notch 6 to another fixture or the fixture 20 and holding the front of the rice ball display shelf 10 with one hand. The rice balls can be displayed efficiently (see FIG. 9). That is, for example, a display operation for displaying a new rice ball can be performed with the rice ball display shelf 10 installed in a cold case, but the rice ball display shelf is usually at the height of the operator's line of sight. This is difficult to work with. Therefore, the rice ball display shelf 10 is taken out from the installation location in the cold case, and is temporarily fixed (temporarily held) at a height that makes it easy to work, and the rice balls are taken in and out.

  Next, a method for displaying rice balls on the display surface 11 of the rice ball display shelf 10 will be described. The rice ball display shelf 10 is installed horizontally or slightly downwardly inclined on a dedicated fixed shelf of a cold case of a convenience store, for example. Next, the rice ball is placed on the unit placement unit 5. For example, in the case of a circular rice ball, a circular rice ball is placed in the recess 51 as shown in FIG. The length of the hollow part 51 in the front-rear direction is smaller than the thickness of the circular rice ball, and the lower part of the circular rice ball enters the hollow part 51. In addition, since the hollow part 51 becomes the shape which continued to the front inclined surface part 41 gently, even if a circular rice ball width becomes a little large, if a part of circular rice ball enters into the hollow part 51, there will be no problem. Further, in the case of a triangular rice ball, the bottom part which is one side of the triangle is placed on the unit placing part 5. Since the length of one side of the triangular rice ball is larger than the lateral length of the hollow portion 51 and the bottom of the triangular rice ball is a flat surface, the triangular rice ball does not fit into the hollow portion 51, and the hollow portion 51 is mounted on a gently curved protrusion 52 (or flat portion) around the lateral direction 51 and a flat portion 41 around the front.

  Next, a rice ball is placed next to the rice ball placed on the unit placement unit 5. When a circular rice ball is placed on the unit placement portion 5 adjacent to the unit placement portion 5 on which the circular rice ball is placed, the distance between the centers of the adjacent unit placement portions 5 in the horizontal direction is substantially the same as the diameter of the circular rice ball. Therefore, they can be displayed in an orderly manner without causing each other to become an obstacle to display. When a triangular rice ball is placed next to the mounted circular rice ball, it may be placed close to or at an appropriate interval. Thereby, it can display in an orderly manner, without mutual obstruction. What is necessary is just to mount in the adjacent hollow part 51, when mounting a circular rice ball next to the triangle rice ball mounted. In addition, when placing a triangle rice ball next to the placed triangle rice ball, it may be placed close to or at an appropriate interval. Thereby, it can display in an orderly manner, without mutual obstruction.

  Since the circular rice ball A placed on the unit placing portion 5 has a lower portion that fits into the recessed portion 51, the lateral movement is restricted, and the rear wall of the unit display portion 4 (rear concave surface portion 42) is inclined backward. In order to support, the movement in the front-rear direction is restricted. In addition, since the triangle rice ball B has one side larger than the depression 51, the placement surface (bottom surface) is a gently curved protrusion or flat portion 52 of the unit placement section 5, regardless of the depression 51. Since it moves on the front inclined part 41 of the unit display part 4, the movement of the horizontal direction is stabilized, and since the rear wall (rear concave part 42) of the unit display part 4 supports a back inclination attitude | position, the movement of the front-back direction is controlled. For this reason, both circular rice balls and triangular rice balls have excellent mounting stability.

  Next, circular rice balls or triangular rice balls are successively placed on the remaining unit placement surfaces 5. As a result, a large number of rice balls can be displayed on the display surface 11 of the rice ball display shelf 10, in this example 36 circular rice balls and 27 triangular rice balls can be displayed in an orderly manner.

  Next, a method for laterally or extending rice balls displayed on the rice ball display shelf 10 will be described with reference to FIG. Rice balls displayed on the rice ball display shelf 10 are usually sold from products on the front side of the shelf. At this time, the worker puts a new product on the back side while taking out the product on the back side (front work). In addition, even in the case of a single shelf surface, in the case of a so-called offset display form in which products on one side sell well and products on the other side remain, work for lateral movement of the displayed products also enters . Therefore, both lateral movement and advance work will be described.

  When moving the circular rice ball A as shown in FIG. 9 in the lateral direction (reference numeral s1 in FIG. 9), it is only necessary to exceed the gentle upward slope forming the recess 51, and the lateral movement by the operator is smooth. You can do it. Further, when the triangle rice ball B is moved in the horizontal direction (s2 in FIG. 9), the recess 51 only moves the gently curved protrusion or the flat surface 52 regardless of the horizontal direction by the operator. Can move smoothly. Further, when the circular rice ball A as shown in FIG. 9 is moved in the forward direction (symbol t1 in FIG. 9), a gentle curved surface or the like that exceeds the protrusion 43 of the gentle forward inclination posture and forms the recess 51 is formed. It is only necessary to exceed this, and the forward movement by the operator can be performed smoothly. Further, when the triangular rice ball B is moved in the forward direction (symbol t2 in FIG. 9), it only exceeds the projection 43 having a gentle forward inclination posture, and the forward movement by the operator can be performed smoothly.

  In the present invention, the rice balls include various rice balls as well as triangular rice balls and circular rice balls. In addition, rice balls include rice balls. These rice balls are packed and usually have a product label on the stomach.

  The rice ball display shelf of the present invention is usually used in a convenience store or the like by installing one or two or more of them side by side in a horizontal posture or a slightly downwardly inclined posture between brackets of a multistage display shelf in a cold case. Even if the shape is different, such as a circular rice ball or a triangular rice ball, it can be displayed stably on the same shelf surface. Further, it is convenient because the lateral movement and the advance operation can be performed smoothly.
