Description

  The present invention displays, in a display room provided on an outer door of a vending machine main body, a product sample formed in a size and shape very similar to products sold by a vending machine such as a beverage bottle, a beverage can, and a beverage bottle. It relates to a product sample display stand that is used when doing.

Until now, a variety of display stands for displaying the above product samples have been proposed, and the vending machine product sample display device disclosed in Patent Document 1 also has such a display stand. one of.
The product sample display device of the vending machine disclosed in Patent Document 1 applies a substantially horizontal external force to a lower portion of a product sample formed in a semi-circular cross section, and causes the bottom plate swelled downwardly of the product sample to be horizontally positioned on the display stand. After inserting into the half-moon-shaped hole formed in the plate and engaging with the lower side of the projection formed in the hole, removing the external force to the lower part of the product sample and restoring when trying to restore to the state before the bottom plate expanded By force, the upper surface of the bottom plate is pressed against the projection, and the lower surface of the bottom plate is pressed against the horizontal plate, and the product sample is attached to the display stand.

  However, the hole formed in the horizontal plate of the display stand is a hole for inserting a bottom plate that is inflated downwardly of the product sample, and is not a hole for inserting a lower portion (a portion corresponding to a bottom portion) of the product sample. Since only the upper and lower surfaces of the bottom plate are pressed almost horizontally against the horizontal plate and the projections, the direction and position of the product sample can be easily displaced in the horizontal direction even with minute vibration generated by the vending machine. It is difficult to keep the product sample in a state of being displayed in a predetermined display direction.

  The rear outer peripheral surface of the regulating portion 21 pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the insertion portion B6 is formed to have a radius of curvature corresponding to the inner peripheral surface of the insertion portion B6 around the center in the radial direction of the mounting hole 12. At the same time, the insertion portion B6 is formed on a tapered surface that gradually increases in diameter from the upper end side to the lower end side of the regulating portion 21 in the direction of insertion into the receiving portion 13 (see FIGS. 3 to 9). ).

On the left and right upper surfaces of the receiving plate 16 on which the bottom plate A4 of the insertion portion A3 behind the lighting window 17 is pressed, the insertion portion A3 of the product sample A is inserted into the mounting hole 12 of the base body 11 when the insertion portion A3 is inserted. A groove portion 22 is formed in which a flange portion A4A protruding downward from the rear side edge of the bottom plate A4 of A3 is locked.
The groove portion 22 is formed in the left-right direction RL from the rear corner of the lighting window 17 toward the left and right notch portions 15 at right angles to the locking direction L for locking the bottom plate A4 to the locking portion 18. (See FIGS. 3 to 9).

  At the rear of the base body 11, an insertion for inserting a sheet-shaped sales promotion body C on which sales promotion information related to a product (specifically, a beverage bottle or a beverage can) sold by the vending machine 1 is printed. A portion 23 is formed (see FIGS. 3 to 9).

The insertion portion 23 includes a front convex portion 24 and a rear convex portion 25 that sandwich the lower end portion of the sales promotion body C in the front-rear direction FR. The insertion portion 23 is open upward and in the left and right directions.
The protrusions 24 and 25 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction RL along the rear surface of the base body 11 and are opposed to the lower end of the sales promotion body C inserted into the insertion portion 23 when viewed from a plane. They are arranged in a substantially staggered manner (see FIGS. 3 to 9).

Further, the protruding portions 24 and 25 are arranged at a front-rear interval where the lower end portion of the sales promotion body C is sandwiched. The protrusion 25 is disposed between the adjacent protrusions 24, 24 so as to face the rear surface of the base body 11.
The holding surfaces for holding the sales promotion body C in the convex portions 24 and 25 are formed to be inclined or curved so as to gradually narrow from the upper end to the lower end (see FIGS. 3 to 9).

The lower end of the sales promotion body C inserted into the insertion portion 23 is bent into a substantially waveform when viewed from a plane by the projections 24 and 25, and the sales promotion body C itself is bent by the restoring force of the sales promotion body C itself. It is pressed against.
Thereby, it can be easily attached simply by inserting the lower end portion of the sales promotion body C into the insertion portion 23 (see FIGS. 3 to 9).

  A number of insertion holes 26 and 27 for inserting a sheet-shaped sales promotion body D on which sales promotion information is printed are formed on the display surface around the mounting holes 12 in the base body 11. The insertion hole 26 is arranged on the display surface on the front side of the mounting hole 12 in the base body 11. The insertion hole 27 is arranged on the exhibition surface behind the mounting hole 12 in the base body 11 (see FIGS. 3 to 9).

  The sales promotion bodies C and D are formed in a desired size and shape by using a plastic sheet having a light-transmitting property. The sales promotion information includes, for example, advertising texts such as new releases, during campaigns, catch phrases, messages, or the like, or trademarks, characters, patterns, designs, replacements, etc. for advertising (see FIG. 4).

  The insertion piece D1 connected to the lower end portion of the sales promotion body D is formed in a size and shape to prevent the insertion piece D1 from being inserted when inserted into the insertion holes 26 and 27. Thus, the insertion piece D1 of the sales promotion body D can be easily attached simply by inserting it into the insertion holes 26 and 27 (see FIG. 4).

  The front part corresponding to the mounting hole 12 in the base body 11 is formed in a shape protruding in an arc toward the front F. The front portion corresponding to the space between the adjacent mounting holes 12 is formed in a shape depressed toward the rear R (see FIGS. 3 to 9).

A method of displaying desired types of samples among the product samples A and B on the display board 5 in the exhibition room 4 using the above-described product sample display stand 10A will be described.
First, when displaying the product sample A in a half-split shape, an external force is applied to the bottom portion A2A of the product sample A from both ends in the left-right direction RL toward the center portion of the bottom portion A2A, and the insertion portion A3 in the bottom portion A2A is applied. The bottom plate A4 is curved downward in an arc shape (see FIG. 8A).

When the curved bottom plate A4 of the insertion portion A3 in the product sample A is inserted into the mounting hole 12 of the base body 11 from the front obliquely above in the locking direction L, the curved bottom plate A4 of the insertion portion A3 is engaged. The stop portion 18 comes into contact with the slope of the warped portion 20 in the locking direction L, and the bottom plate A4 is pressed down and guided below the locking portion 18 along the slope of the warped portion 20 (FIG. 8A). b)).
Thereby, the bottom plate A4 of the insertion portion A3 can be securely and easily locked to the lower side of the locking portion 18 of the receiving portion 13.

  When the bottom plate A4 of the insertion portion A3 is inserted to a position where the flange portion A4A of the bottom plate A4 is locked to the groove portion 22 of the receiving plate 16, and when the flange portion A4A is locked to the groove portion 22, the bottom portion A2A When the external force is removed, the upper surface side of the bottom plate A4 is pressed against the lower surface side of the locking portion 18 by the restoring force that attempts to restore the state before the bottom plate A4 itself is bent, and the lower surface side of the bottom plate A4 is received by the receiving plate 16. To the top side of the Further, the lower surface side of the bottom portion A2A is pressed against the exhibition surface around the mounting hole 12 in the base body 11 (see FIG. 8B).

That is, since the bottom plate A4 of the insertion portion A3 is pressed against the locking portion 18 of the receiving portion 13 and the receiving plate 16, it is possible to prevent the product sample A from rattling in the vertical direction.
Further, a sample of the product is inserted by inserting the insertion portion A3 of the bottom portion A2A into the receiving portion 13 of the mounting hole 12 so as to radially contact the front outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion A3 with the front inner peripheral surface of the receiving portion 13. A can be prevented from rattling in the horizontal direction (see FIG. 8B).

  Furthermore, since the final locking portion A7 and the temporary locking portion A8 of the insertion portion A3 are locked in the recessed portion 14 and the notch portion 15 of the mounting hole 12, respectively, the product sample is provided in the mounting hole 12 in the radial direction. Rotation in the horizontal direction about the center can be prevented (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

  As a result, the effect of preventing the product sample A from rattling in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction is synergistically obtained, so that the orientation, height, and position of the product sample A are more reliably prevented from being displaced. In addition, the product sample A can be reliably maintained in a state where the product sample A is displayed in a predetermined display direction in which the front surface on which the product name is printed and the front surface of the vending machine 1 coincide.

  A display panel 5A in a display room 4 provided on an outer door 3 of a vending machine main body 2 of a vending machine 1 is provided with a product sample display stand 10A on which a sample of a desired type among the product samples A and B is attached as described above. At the same time, the product sample display stand 10A is placed so that the mounting holes 12 of the display stand 10A are aligned with the openings 6 of the display board 5 (see FIG. 1). Alternatively, a sample of a desired type among the product samples A and B is attached to the product sample display stand 10A placed on the display board 5 and displayed.

  When the product sample A attached to the product sample display stand 10A emits light three-dimensionally, light emitted from the light source 9 below the display board 5 is transmitted through a transmission part A5 formed on the bottom plate A4 of the insertion part A3 of the product sample A. Of the product sample A attached to the mounting hole 12 of the base body 11 via a lighting window 17 opened in the receiving plate 16 of the receiving portion 13 of the base body 11 and a lighting window 19 opened in the locking portion 18. Light can be reliably collected inside (see FIG. 8B).

  Accordingly, even when the bottom plate A4 of the insertion portion A3 is pressed against the receiving plate 16 of the receiving portion 13 and the bottom plate A4 of the insertion portion A3 is locked to the locking portion 18 of the receiving portion 13, the light The lighting of the product sample A attached to the product sample display stand 10A can be made to emit light more reliably without obstructing the lighting of the product sample A, and the display contents (for example, trademarks, characters, patterns, designs, etc.) printed or attached to the product sample A can be obtained. ) Can be displayed more clearly.

  As a result, the degree of attention and the degree of appeal for the product sample A can be further increased, so that the people approaching the vending machine 1 and the people who want to purchase the product can be noticed. It is easy to actively select and purchase a product with a high degree of attention, and it is possible to promote product sales and improve sales.

  In addition, if the sales promotion bodies C and D are attached to the product sample display stand 10A, the product sample A can be made more noticeable, and at the same time, the vending machine 1 can select and purchase products for sale, sales promotion, advertising effect, and degree of attention. And the like (see FIG. 4).

  Next, when exhibiting the cylindrical product sample B, the insertion portion B6 formed on the bottom B2B of the product sample B is vertically inserted into the receiving portion 13 formed in the mounting hole 12 of the base body 11 from above. At this time, the insertion portion B6 is inserted while being pressed against the tapered surface of the regulating portion 21 formed on the locking portion 18 between the receiving portion 13 and the opposing surface of the regulating portion 21. (See FIGS. 3 and 4).

  The outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion B6 at the bottom portion B2B is brought into radial or surface contact with the inner peripheral surface of the receiving portion 13 in the mounting hole 12, and the inner peripheral surface of the insertion portion B6 is locked. It is brought into contact with the tapered surface of the regulating portion 21 formed in the portion 18 (see FIG. 9).

  Thereby, in addition to the contact resistance generated between the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion B6 and the inner peripheral surface of the receiving portion 13, the contact resistance generated between the inner peripheral surface of the insertion portion B6 and the tapered surface of the regulating portion 21 is synergistic. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the direction and position of the displayed product sample B from being displaced and rattling.

Further, since the final locking portion B7 and the temporary locking portion B8 of the insertion portion B6 are locked in the recessed portion 14 and the notch portion 15 of the mounting hole 12, respectively, the product sample is centered in the mounting hole 12 in the radial direction. Rotation in the horizontal direction about the portion can be prevented.
As a result, the product sample B can be accurately and reliably attached to the predetermined orientation, height, and position, and the product sample B can be kept displayed in the predetermined display direction.
