Description

  The present invention relates to a display holder, and more particularly to a display holder used for mounting a display plate for displaying the price of a product on a product display shelf such as a supermarket.

  When the display holder used for mounting the box-shaped display body for displaying the price of the product is installed on the product display shelf, the display unit needs to be easily seen from the eyes of the customer. Usually, the commodity display shelves are multi-tiered, so that a product with a function that allows the angle of the display unit to be adjusted is required.

  Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2003-233323 discloses a display holder that adjusts the display angle of the display main body. According to this display holder, when adjusting the display angle of the display main body that is pivotally attached to the attachment member provided on the display shelf or the like via the attachment part, the slide adapter is pushed up to lift the attachment part. Desired by releasing the engagement between the locking piece and the locking groove of the elastic support piece, rotating the display body in a free state, and pushing up the slide adapter when the desired display angle is reached. The locking groove is dropped into the locking piece of the mounting part and locked, whereby the display body can be fixed in a fixed state adjusted to a desired angle.

  In recent years, since there is a large amount of product information, it is known that an information description card having a predetermined height is mounted above or below a box-shaped display. In this case, the back display product may be hidden. Moreover, when the display body itself is large, the back display product may be similarly hidden. Accordingly, it has been desired to develop a display holder that can slide the display body in the vertical direction.

In addition, if the display installed on the front of the display shelf is too thick, it may touch the shopper and change the display direction or drop off the display shelf. It was desired.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a display holder that allows a plate-like or box-like display body on which product information is displayed to be slid up and down by a simple operation, and further, as much as possible. An object of the present invention is to provide a thin display holder with a slide function.

  That is, the present invention solves the above-described problem, and includes a display body mounting member and a slide member that is fitted to the back surface of the display body mounting member and slides in the vertical direction to determine the fixing position. And guide means for guiding the slide of the slide member in the vertical direction relative to the display member mounting member, and elastically deforming in a direction perpendicular to the slide direction by the gripping force to release the lock, and the shape is restored by releasing the grip. It is intended to provide a display holder display holder characterized by having lock means for locking and positioning means for determining a fixed position in the vertical direction of the slide member.

  According to the display holder of the present invention, when the gripping force is elastically deformed in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction to release the lock, the slide member is slid in the vertical direction while the state is released, and the grip is released, that is, when the hand is released. Since the shape is restored and locked, it can be slid in the vertical direction with a simple operation and the fixed position can be changed. In addition, the display holder of the present invention has the slide means, the lock means, and the positioning means attached to the two combinations of thin members, so that after the plate-like or box-like display body displaying the product information is attached, However, the display angle is not changed by the contact of the shopper.

  Next, the display holder in the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a perspective view of a display holder according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the display holder of FIG. 1 viewed from the back, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the display holder of FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the display holder (locked state) in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an operation method in the unlocked state, and FIG. 8A is a cross-sectional view of the display holder in which the slide member is at the lowest position, and FIG. 8B is a cross-sectional view of the display holder in which the slide member is at an upper position from (A). C) is a cross-sectional view of the display holder in which the slide member is at an upper position than (B). In the present specification, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, and “rear” refer to positions where the surface 111 in the state of FIG.

  The display holder 10 includes a display body mounting member 1 and a slide member 2 that is fitted to the back surface of the display body mounting member 1 and slides in the vertical direction to determine a fixed position. The display body attaching member 1 is a thin object including a substantially plate-like first main body portion 11 and columnar first guide portions 12 formed on both sides of the first main body portion 11. The reason why it is substantially plate-like is that the main part is plate-like although it cannot be defined as plate-like because it includes the projection 13 attached to the display-body attaching member 1 on the surface. The protrusion 13 may be anything as long as it attaches a display body such as an electronic shelf label, and is not limited to this form.

  The columnar first guide portion 12 has rail-shaped grooves 14 formed on its side surface so as to extend in the vertical direction, and rack teeth 4 extending in the vertical direction on the inner side surface on the opposite side. . The rail-shaped groove 14 constitutes a part of the guide means, and guides the movement of the slide member 2 in the vertical direction. Further, the rack teeth 4 protrude inward, and in this example, there are four teeth, and gaps (tooth spaces) 5a to 5c between the three teeth are formed. The rack teeth 4 constitute part of the locking means and serve as positioning means. Further, a space corresponding to the thickness of the columnar first guide portion 12 is formed between the pair of left and right columnar first guide portions 12, and the second main body portion 21 of the slide member 2 can be accommodated. Can be thin.

  The slide member 2 has a substantially plate-shaped second main body portion 21 facing the first main body portion 11 and a second substantially U-shaped cross section that engages with the first guide members 12 formed on both sides of the second main body portion 21. It is a thin object having a height smaller than the height of the display body mounting member 1 including the guide portion 22. In order to reduce the thickness of the slide member 2, the second guide portion 22 is located slightly rearward of the second main body portion 21, and only the distal end portions of the most opposite side members 221 extend slightly forward from the second main body portion 21. Yes. The second main body portion 21 is substantially plate-shaped because the engagement structure 24 for attaching the fixed member to the back surface of the second main body portion 21, in this example, the upper plate-shaped protrusion member, both side protrusions, and the lower side protrusion This is because the engagement protrusion structure is included in the protrusion. The engagement structure 24 engages with an attachment member that is normally attached to a rail groove of the display shelf. In addition, the engagement structure 24 is not limited to this, The well-known member attached to a stationary-side member can be used.

  Thin portions 32 are formed by forming thinning (through holes) 7 on both sides of the rectangular second main body portion 21 of the slide member 2. Further, on the outer surface of the thin portion 32, a minute height projection (claw portion) 31 that engages between the teeth 5 of the rack teeth 4 is formed so as to protrude outward, and further on the outer surface of the thin portion 32. The operation member 33 provided with the pressing part 331 is joined. In this example, one end of the arm of the operation member 33 is connected to the rear side of the projection (claw part) 31 having a minute height, and has a substantially L shape in plan view. The thin portion 32 is bent inward by gripping the operating member 33 so that a force acts on the inside, and is restored to the original shape by releasing the grip. That is, if the operation member 33 is held slightly strong, the thin portion 32 is elastically deformed in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slide member 2 and inwardly, and accordingly, a minute height projection (claw portion) 31 is also inward. If it is pushed in a little and the grip is released, it will return to its original shape. For this reason, the lock operation and the unlock operation can be easily performed. In addition, a rectangular hollow (through hole) 23 formed in the second main body portion 21 is a hole for molding a mold necessary for forming the engagement structure 24. The height (length in the left-right direction) of the protrusion 31 may be about 0.5 to 1.5 mm.

  The second guide portions 22 having a substantially U-shaped cross section are formed on both upper and lower sides with the operation member 33 interposed therebetween, and protrusions 26 that engage with the rail grooves 14 are formed on the inner side surfaces of the outermost side members 221. Forming. Note that the height of the teeth of the rack teeth 4 (the length in the left-right direction) is such that when the slide member 2 is incorporated in the display body mounting member 1, the tips of the teeth of the rack teeth 4 are approximately the end surface of the second main body portion 21. The dimensions should be in contact with each other or have a slight gap. Thereby, the display body attaching member 1 and the slide member 2 can be slidably fitted in the unlocked state, and the protrusion (claw portion) 31 having a minute height is engaged with the tooth groove 5 of the rack tooth 4 in the locked state. can do. Note that the pressing portion 331 of the operation member 33 protrudes outward from the second guide portion 22. Thereby, the 2nd guide part 22 can be pushed in. The second guide portion 22 may have a substantially L-shaped cross section. As the 2nd guide part 22 of a substantially L-shaped cross section, the member 9 like 2nd Embodiment mentioned later is mentioned.

  The display holder 10 of the present invention has guide means for guiding the slide of the slide member 2 with respect to the display body mounting member 1 in the vertical direction. That is, in this example, the guide means includes a rail-shaped groove 14 formed on the side surface of the first guide portion 12 so as to extend in the vertical direction and a rail-shaped groove 14 formed on the second guide portion 22. It is the protrusion part 26 to engage.

  The lock means is formed of rack teeth 4 formed on the inner side surface of the first guide portion 12 and extending in the vertical direction, and a plurality of teeth formed on the outer sides of the thin portions 32 on both sides of the second main body portion 21. It consists of minute protrusions (nail portions) 31 that engage between the adjacent teeth (tooth gaps) 5 (5a to 5c). Moreover, a positioning means is the tooth gap 5 (5a-5c) formed between the teeth of a rack tooth.

  Next, an example of how to use the display holder 10 of the present invention will be described. The slide member 2 is inserted from above the display body mounting member 1 so that the protrusion 26 engages with the rail groove 14 of the display body mounting member 1. At this time, the pressing surface 331 of the operation member 33 is held slightly strongly to make it unlocked. In the locked state, the minute protrusions (claw portions) 31 obstruct the insertion, and the display body mounting member 1 and the slide member 2 are not fitted. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the slide member 2 is set at the lowest position with respect to the display body mounting member 1, the minute protrusion (claw portion) 31 is located at a position facing the rack tooth groove 5a. insert. When this position is reached, the grip is released. Thereby, since the thin part 32 is restored to the original shape, the minute protrusion (claw part) 31 is engaged with the tooth groove 5a of the rack tooth. Thereby, the display body attaching member 1 and the slide member 2 are fixed. In this state, the display body may be installed on the projection 13 on the front surface of the display body mounting member 1 and the POS rail mounting member may be mounted on the engagement structure 24 on the back surface of the slide member 2. Then, this POS rail mounting member may be mounted on the POS rail. Such a display holder 10 is located above the POS rail mounting portion in the POS rail mounting state, and can be displayed at a position higher than the products on the display shelf.

  Next, when the position of the display body in the height direction is lower than the state shown in FIG. 8A, for example, the state shown in FIG. That is, the display holder 10 in the state of FIG. 8A is removed from the POS rail. Next, the pressing surface 331 of the operation member 33 is slightly strongly gripped (XX direction in FIG. 6) to be in an unlocked state, and the slide member 2 is held with respect to the display body mounting member 1 while maintaining the unlocked state. Slide upward. Then, the minute protrusion (claw part) 31 is slid to a position facing the tooth gap 5b of the rack tooth, and when it comes to this position, the grip is released. Thereby, since the thin part 32 restore | restores to the original shape, the microprotrusion (claw part) 31 engages with the tooth space 5b of a rack tooth. Thereby, the display body attaching member 1 and the slide member 2 are fixed. In this state, the POS rail mounting member may be attached to the POS rail.

  Next, when the position in the height direction of the display body on which the product information is displayed is lower than the state shown in FIG. 8B, for example, the state shown in FIG. That is, the display holder 10 in the state of FIG. 8B is removed from the POS rail. Next, in the same manner as described above, the pressing surface 331 of the operation member 33 is slightly held (in the direction XX in FIG. 6) to be in an unlocked state, and the slide member 2 is kept in the unlocked state while maintaining the unlocked state. Slide upwards relative to 1. Then, the minute protrusion (claw part) 31 is slid to a position facing the tooth gap 5c of the rack tooth, and when it comes to this position, the grip is released. Thereby, since the thin part 32 restore | restores to the original shape, the microprotrusion (claw part) 31 engages with the tooth space 5c of a rack tooth. Thereby, the display body attaching member 1 and the slide member 2 are fixed. In this state, the POS rail mounting member may be attached to the POS rail. If it is this position, the installation position of a display body will come to the position substantially equivalent to a display shelf surface, or the lower side, a display merchandise is not concealed, and a merchandise can see it well.

  The display holder 10 composed of the display body mounting member 1 and the slide member 2 is made of resin and has a thickness as thin as 15 mm or less, so that the display direction is changed by touching the shopper, or the display holder 10 is dropped from the display shelf. There is nothing to do.

  Next, a display holder according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 is a perspective view of the display holder of the present embodiment, FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the display holder of FIG. 9 as viewed from the back, FIG. 11 is an exploded perspective view of the display holder of FIG. 9, and FIG. FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the display holder in a state in which the two members of FIG. 11 are incorporated, and FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective view of the display holder as viewed from the back. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the display holder (locked state) in FIG. 9, FIG. 16 is a view for explaining an operation method in the unlocked state, FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of the display holder (unlocked state) in FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view of the display holder in which the slide member is in the lowest position, (B) is a cross-sectional view of the display holder in which the slide member is in an upper position from (A), and (C) is a position in which the slide member is in an upper position from (B). Sectional drawing of the display holder in each is shown. 9 to 18, the same components as those in FIGS. 1 to 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and different points are mainly described.

  That is, the display holder 10a of FIGS. 9 to 18 is different from the display holder 10 of FIGS. 1 to 8 in that the slide member 2 of the display holder 10 is an assembly of two members. That is, the slide member 2 includes a first member 9 that engages with the rail-shaped groove 14, and a claw portion 31 that engages with the first member 9 and engages between the teeth 5 of the rack teeth 4. It consists of two members, two members 8.

  The first member 9 is a member having a structure similar to that of the slide member 2 in the first embodiment. The difference from the slide member 2 is that the operation member 33 of the slide member 2 is omitted, and the operation member 33. The notch portion 28 is provided at the position, and the third main body portion 91 is provided with a hole 911 for alignment of the second member 8.

  That is, the first member 9 includes a substantially plate-shaped third main body portion 91 and a second guide portion 22 having a substantially U-shaped cross section that engages with the first guide members 12 formed on both sides of the third main body portion 91. It is a thin object having a height smaller than the height of the display body mounting member 1 provided. The reason why the third main body portion 91 is substantially plate-like is that the engaging structure 24 for attaching the fixed-side member to the back surface of the third main body portion 91 is the same as in the first embodiment. This is because although the upper plate-like projection member, both side projections, and the lower projection have an engaging projection structure, the plate-like shape is not defined, but the main part is plate-like.

  At the center of both sides of the rectangular third main body portion 91 of the first member 9, a notch portion 28 in which the claw portion 31 of the second member 8 and the arm of the operation member 33 are accommodated is formed. Thereby, even if it is an assembly body of the 1st member 9 and the 2nd member 8, operation of locking and unlocking of the operation member 33 is attained, maintaining a thin state. The structure and operation of the second guide portion 22 having a substantially U-shaped cross section are the same as in the case of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The second member 8 includes a claw portion 31 that engages with the first member 9 and engages between the teeth 5 of the rack teeth 4. That is, the second member 8 forms the thin portion 32 by forming the thinning (through hole) 7 on both sides of the rectangular fourth main body portion 81. The thin portion 32 is bent inward by gripping the operating member 33 so that a force acts on the inside, and is restored to the original shape by releasing the grip. The thin portion 32 is formed with a minute height projection (claw portion) 31 that engages between the teeth 5 of the rack teeth 4, and further, one end of the arm 34 of the operation member 33 including the pressing portion 331 is joined. . That is, if the operation member 33 is gripped a little, the thin portion 32 is elastically deformed in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slide member and inwardly, and accordingly the protrusion (claw portion) 31 having a very small height is also slightly inward. When it is pushed in and released, it returns to its original shape. For this reason, the lock operation and the unlock operation can be easily performed. Reference numeral 36 denotes a positioning projection. The first member 9 and the second member 8 are not limited to separate members as described above, and may be integrated.

  Next, an example of how to use the display holder 10a of the present invention will be described. First, the first member 9 and the second member 8 are assembled. In this case, the positioning hole 911 of the first member 9 and the positioning projection 36 of the second member 8 are opposed to each other, and they are assembled so as to push them in. At this time, the third main body portion 91 and the fourth main body portion 81 are almost in contact with each other with almost no gap, and the arm 34 of the operation member 33 is accommodated in the notch portion 28 of the first member 9 with a gap. Is done. Thereby, the assembly 2a of the first member 9 and the second member 8 can maintain a thin state. Then, the assembled body 2a of the first member 9 and the second member 8 is inserted from above the display body mounting member 1 so that the protrusions 26 are engaged with the rail grooves 14 of the display body mounting member 1. At this time, in the same manner as described above, the pressing surface 331 of the operation member 33 is held slightly strong to perform the unlocking state. In the locked state, the minute protrusions (claw portions) 31 obstruct the insertion, and the display body mounting member 1 and the slide member 2 are not fitted. For example, as shown in FIG. 18A, when the slide member 2 is set at the lowest position with respect to the display body mounting member 1, the minute protrusion (claw portion) 31 is located at a position facing the rack tooth groove 5a. insert. When this position is reached, the grip is released. Thereby, since the thin part 32 is restored to the original shape, the minute protrusion (claw part) 31 is engaged with the tooth groove 5a of the rack tooth. Thereby, the display body attachment member 1 and the slide member 2a are fixed. In this state, the display body may be installed on the protrusion 13 on the front surface of the display body mounting member 1 and the POS rail mounting member may be mounted on the engagement structure 24 on the back surface of the slide member 2a. Then, this POS rail mounting member may be mounted on the POS rail. In such a display holder 10a, the display body is located above the POS rail mounting member and can be displayed at a position higher than the display shelf surface. Hereinafter, the change method from the installation position of FIG. 18A to the installation position of FIG. 18B and the change method from the installation position of FIG. 18B to the installation position of FIG. 18C are the first implementation. This is the same as the embodiment.

  The display holder 10a composed of the assembly 2a of the display body attaching member 1, the first member 9, and the second member 8 is made of resin and has a thickness as thin as 15 mm or less. The display direction is not changed and the display shelf is not dropped.

  In the display holder of the present invention, the positioning positions are not limited to the above three positions, and may be two positions or four positions or more. Further, the display holder of the present invention may be used by inverting it forward and backward. That is, the display body mounting member may be attached to the rear side, the POS rail mounting member may be attached thereto, and the slide member may be attached to the front side, and the display body may be attached thereto.

  The display holder of the present invention can be easily positioned in a plurality of stages, preferably three stages in the height direction, and is thin, so it is a plate that displays the price of goods on a product display shelf such as a supermarket. Or it is suitable for the use for mounting | wearing with a box-shaped display board.
