The display product 10b is gripped by pushing and opening the display product mounting bracket 8, and is put on the receiving plate 11 for display.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-described configuration, especially at night, the display product is shaded due to irradiation from one direction by the illumination lamp located at the top of the display product, and the display product has a shadow outside the product display window. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to discriminate.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a vending machine product display device that attracts attention, with the display product standing out at night and without any shading, since the display product itself emits light because of the above problem. Things.

Means for Solving the Problems To solve the above problems, a vending machine main body of the present invention, a door attached to the front of the main body, and a product exhibition room having a see-through window on the front surface side of the door A display product mounting plate provided in the product display room, a display product receiving plate mounted on the display product mounting plate, a communication hole provided in the display product receiving plate, and a light source provided below the communication hole. A reflector that covers the light source together with the display product receiving plate; and a display product that is mounted above the communication hole and is formed of a translucent material and has a display print layer on the surface.

According to the present invention, the display product receives the light from the lower part due to the irregular reflection from the light source and the reflection plate, irradiates the display print layer on the surface of the display product, and diffuses the light from the print layer. A light beam hits the display product almost uniformly, and the entire display product emits light. Especially at night, the displayed products are made even brighter, the display effect is improved,
In addition, it contributes to improving the customer's willingness to purchase.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a merchandise display apparatus for a vending machine according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The same components as those in the related art will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will be described in detail. Is omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a display product receiving plate disposed on the entire lower surface of the product display room 4 and fixed to the product mounting plate 7.
The display product receiving plate 14 is provided with a communication hole 15 having a size similar to that of the display product. Reference numeral 16 denotes a reflection plate having a substantially U-shaped cross section, the inner surface of which is painted white, and is fixed to the display product receiving plate 14 with screws or the like. Reference numeral 17 denotes an illumination lamp, which is installed below the display product receiving plate 14 on the inner surface of the reflection plate 16. Reference numeral 18 denotes a display product formed of a synthetic resin having translucency. The display product layer 18a is added to the surface of the display product. The display product 18 is held above the communication hole 15 of the display product receiving plate 14 by the display product mounting bracket 8. ing.

The operation of the commodity display device of the vending machine configured as described above will be described below.

The display product 18 gripped by the display product mounting bracket 8 receives the projection of the illuminating lamp 17 installed below the display product receiving plate 14 and the irregular white reflection of the inner surface of the reflector 16, and the surface of the display product 18 has Irradiating the display print layer 18a thus formed, the display print layer 1
Light is diffusely reflected at 8a (arrows in FIGS. 1 and 2).
The entire surface of the product is almost uniformly illuminated with charged wires, and the entire surface of the displayed product emits light.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the illuminating lamp 17 installed below the display product receiving plate 14 in the product display room 4 and the substantially U-shaped inner surface attached to the display product receiving plate 14 A communication hole 15 between the reflective plate 16 and the display product receiving plate 14 which are painted white, and a display printing layer 18a formed on the surface of the display printing layer 18a formed of a translucent material gripped by the display product mounting bracket 8 above the communication hole 15 The entire surface of the display product 18 to which the mark is added emits light, and the visibility particularly at night is further improved.
