Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vending machine exhibiting a product sample of a canned beverage or the like which is held in a state of being curved in a substantially arc shape and used for a sample display of a vending machine. It relates to a product display board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the front of a vending machine, a product sample imitating a product to be sold is displayed.
For example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Hei 7-26787, the display device includes a product display plate displaying a front portion of the product and a holding member for detachably holding the product display plate. If necessary, only the product display board can be replaced. That is, the product display board is thin and elastic, the holding member is thick and substantially cylindrical, and has an opening (window) at the front, and the product display board pushes both side edges into this opening. It is constrained in a contracted state and is mounted in a substantially semi-cylindrical shape.

[0003]

The beverage can is generally formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, but the upper end portion of some of the beverage cans has a plurality of small horizontal steps. It is shaped like a staircase. Conventional product display boards faithfully imitate such small steps, so they are almost semi-cylindrical three-dimensional even when they are not mounted, which increases production costs and increases bulk during storage. There was a problem. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to make it possible to suitably display a stepped shape even on a commodity display plate formed in a substantially planar shape.

[0004]

A feature of the present invention is that an opaque or translucent picture display layer, on which a picture of a product is displayed, is formed by printing on a substrate in the form of a sheet having elasticity. In a commodity display board for vending machine display, which is detachably held via a holding member in a state of being curved in a substantially arc shape and constitutes a product sample, the substrate is formed in a substantially planar shape, and A transparent step display layer is laminated on the pattern display layer by printing so as to form a slight step corresponding to the step of the product.

[0005] A plurality of step difference display layers may be stacked so as to be shifted from each other in a stepwise manner. Also, the picture display layer has a step-like shape so as to match the step of the step display layer.
A pattern indicating the outer shape of the product is displayed on the pattern display layer on which the forward projected shapes of both ends of the product such as a tapered shape and a hollow shape are displayed, and both side edges of the pattern are aligned with the steps of the step display layer. As such, it is preferable to display a forward projection shape such as a step shape, a taper shape, a hollow shape, or the like at both ends of the product. Further, the thickness of the step display layer is preferably 10 to 50 μm.
