Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、スーパー、コンビニ、レンタルビデオショップ、その他の店舗において買物用に供されるショッピングかごに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
ショッピングかごは、顧客が複数の買物商品を収容するための便宜に供され、かご本体に提手を回動自在に設けている。通常、かご本体は、底壁から上部開口部に向けて広がるテーパ状の側壁を備えており、保管時等の不使用時には多数のかご本体を積層せしめられる。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来のショッピングかごは、専ら買物の便宜に利用され、それ以上の付加価値を有しない。
【０００４】
そこで、ショッピングかごに対して販促表示を施した販促シートを着脱自在に添設する構成とすれば、付加価値を向上せしめることができ有利である（本明細書において「販促」とは広義に「販売促進」を意味する）。例えば、新規商品や新規営業店舗等に関する広告を表示したシートや、商品等の割引券として利用できるシート等を添設することにより、ショッピングかごに本来の目的機能以上の付加価値を与えることができる。
【０００５】
ところが、ショッピングかごは、多数のかご本体を積層せしめるため、下層のかご本体に対して上層のかご本体を内嵌せしめる構成とされている。即ち、下層のかご本体の側壁の内側に形成された内側嵌合面に対して、上層のかご本体の側壁の外側に形成された外側嵌合面を嵌合せしめる構成のため、販促シートを添設せしめるためには、特別の工夫が必要になる。
【０００６】
この点に関して、例えば、かご本体の底壁の内側面に販促シートを取付ける構成とすれば、構造が簡単であり容易に実施できるが、この場合、顧客が商品をかご本体に収容すると、販促シートが直ちに商品により隠蔽されてしまうため、販促効果を期待できない。
【０００７】
このため、販促シートの取付位置は、かご本体の側壁の内側面又は外側面とすることが望ましいが、この場合、販促シートを取付けるための突起物を側壁に形成すると、かご本体を前述のような嵌合構造により積層することができなくなるという問題がある。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、積層可能としたショッピングかごを鋭意研究した結果、相互に嵌合される上下のかご本体は、必ずしも側壁の内外側面の全面を嵌合せしめられるのではなく、嵌合されない非嵌合部を有していることを知得した。即ち、下層のかご本体の側壁の内側に形成された内側嵌合面に対して、上層のかご本体の側壁の外側に形成された外側嵌合面を嵌合せしめ、上下に積層せしめたとき、各かご本体は、側壁上部に内側嵌合面よりも外側に位置する第一非嵌合部を備え、底壁と側壁下部に外側嵌合面よりも内側に位置する第二非嵌合部を備えることを知得した。従って、これらの第一非嵌合部や第二非嵌合部を利用して保持手段を設ければ、嵌合構造による積層形式を妨げないで、販促シートをかご本体の側壁の内側面又は外側面に取付けることが可能になることを知得した。
【０００９】
そこで、本発明が第一の手段として構成したところは、底壁(4)から上部開口部に向けて広がるテーパ状の側壁(5)を備えたかご本体(2)の複数個を、下層のかご本体(2)の側壁(5)の内側に形成された内側嵌合面に対して、上層のかご本体(2)の側壁(5)の外側に形成された外側嵌合面を嵌合せしめることにより積層自在に構成し、側壁上部に内側嵌合面よりも外側に位置する第一非嵌合部(8)を備え、底壁と側壁下部に外側嵌合面よりも内側に位置する第二非嵌合部(9)を備えたショッピングかごにおいて、販促表示を施した販促シート(10)を可撓性又は弾力性を有する透明又は半透明の合成樹脂製板から成る保護部材 (18) により保護した状態で側壁(5)の内側面に添設すると共に、第一非嵌合部(8)と第二非嵌合部(9)にそれぞれ販促シート(10)及び保護部材 (18) の上部及び下部を着脱自在に保持する第一保持手段 (11) 及び第二保持手段 (12) を設けて成る構成であり、側壁(5)の頂部から側壁 (5) の内側面に向けて貫設されると共に該側壁 (5) に対して屈折する傾斜角度を有して貫通するスリットから成るガイド手段(13)により販促シート (10) 及び保護部材 (18) を挿通保持する第一保持手段(11)を構成しており、販促シート (10) 及び保護部材 (18) をガイド手段 (13) の内部で湾曲変形せしめることにより弾発係止し固定するように構成して成る点にある。
【００１０】
また、本発明が第二の手段として構成したところは、底壁(4)から上部開口部に向けて広がるテーパ状の側壁(5)を備えたかご本体(2)の複数個を、下層のかご本体(2)の側壁(5)の内側に形成された内側嵌合面に対して、上層のかご本体(2)の側壁(5)の外側に形成された外側嵌合面を嵌合せしめることにより積層自在に構成し、側壁上部に内側嵌合面よりも外側に位置する第一非嵌合部(8)を備え、底壁と側壁下部に外側嵌合面よりも内側に位置する第二非嵌合部(9)を備えたショッピングかごにおいて、販促表示を施した販促シート(10)を可撓性又は弾力性を有する透明又は半透明の合成樹脂製板から成る保護部材 (18) により保護した状態で側壁(5)の外側面に添設すると共に、第一非嵌合部(8)と第二非嵌合部(9)にそれぞれ販促シート(10)及び保護部材 (18) の上部及び下部を着脱自在に保持する第一保持手段 (11) 及び第二保持手段 (12) を設けて成る構成であり、側壁(5)の頂部から側壁(5)の外側面に向けて販促シート(10)及び保護部材 (18) を挿通せしめるガイド手段(19)により第一保持手段(11)を構成すると共に、側壁(5)下部の外側面から凹入され販促シート(10)及び保護部材 (18)の挿入端を係止する凹入手段(22)により第二保持手段(12)を構成しており、販促シート (10) 及び保護部材 (18) を側壁 (5) の外側面から凹入手段 (22) に向けて湾曲せしめることにより凹入手段 (22) に弾発係止し固定するように構成して成る点にある。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下図面に基づいて本発明の好ましい実施形態を詳述する。
【００１４】
（第一実施形態）
図１に示すように、ショッピングかご１は、かご本体２と、提手３、３とから構成されている。かご本体２は、底壁４から上部開口部に向けて広がるテーパ状の側壁５を備えると共に、開口縁に沿って側壁５に外向きのフランジ６を形成しており、合成樹脂により一体成形されている。図例の場合、全体形状をほぼ矩形に形成しているが、その形状は問わない。提手３は、合成樹脂によりほぼ門形に形成されており、両端をかご本体２に形成されたボス部７に対して起伏回動自在に枢着している。従って、ショッピングかご１は、提手３、３を起立せしめることにより持ち運び自在であり、提手３、３を伏臥せしめることにより、複数のかご本体２を相互に嵌合せしめることにより積層自在である。尚、伏臥せしめた提手３、３は、それぞれに対応する部位で側壁５に設けられた支持片６ａにより支持される。
【００１５】
図２に示すように、複数のかご本体２は、下層のかご本体２の側壁５の内側面（内側嵌合面）に対して、上層のかご本体２の側壁５の外側面（外側嵌合面）を嵌合せしめることにより積層自在であるが、積層状態において、側壁上部に内側嵌合面よりも外側に位置する第一非嵌合部８を形成し、底壁４と側壁下部に外側嵌合面よりも内側に位置する第二非嵌合部９を形成する。即ち、上下に位置するかご本体２は、相互に底壁４、４の間に隙間Ｓを残存するように嵌合されるので、第一非嵌合部８及び第二非嵌合部９は、相互に嵌合接触されない領域を形成する。尚、第二非嵌合部９は、側壁５の下端近傍の内側領域から底壁４の内側（上側）領域にかけて形成されている。
【００１６】
上記は従来公知のショッピングかご１に共通の構成であるが、本発明は、販促表示を施した販促シート１０をかご本体２の側壁５の内側面又は外側面に添設可能とする。販促シート１０は、新規商品や新規営業店舗等に関する広告を表示したシートや、商品等の割引券として利用できるシート等により構成されるが、その形態を特に限定するものではなく、要するに、ショッピングかごに本来の目的機能以上の付加価値を与えるものであれば良い。
【００１７】
図１及び図２に示す第一実施形態において、販促シート１０は、側壁５の内側面に添設される構成とされており、第一非嵌合部８に設けた第一保持手段１１と第二非嵌合部９に設けた第二保持手段１２により着脱自在に保持される。
【００１８】
第一保持手段１１は、側壁５の頂部（図例の場合は、フランジ６の頂面）から側壁５の内側面（内側嵌合面）に向けて貫通するスリットから成るガイド手段１３により形成され、販促シート１０をガイド手段１３の上部開口１４から挿入し下部開口１５から挿出せしめるように構成している。また、第二保持手段１２は、底壁４の内側面から起立する爪手段１６により形成され、該爪手段１６と側壁５との間に販促シート１０の挿入端を係止せしめる溝１７を構成している。尚、爪手段１６により構成される第二保持手段１２は、図例のように底壁４から立設せしめる他、前記隙間Ｓに対応する第二非嵌合部９の領域内で側壁５の内側に断面ほぼＬ形となるように設けても良い。
【００１９】
第一実施形態の構成によれば、第一保持手段１１におけるガイド手段１３の上部開口１４に販促シート１０を挿入すると、該販促シート１０は、ガイド手段１３を構成する下向き傾斜状のスリットにより案内され、下部開口１５から下向きに挿出される。そこで、販促シート１０の挿出端を第二保持手段１２の爪手段１６に係止する。これにより、販促シート１０は、上下を第一保持手段１１と第二保持手段１２により保持され、表面に施された販促表示をかご本体２の内側に表示する。この際、販促シート１０は、図例のように、透明又は半透明の合成樹脂製の板から成る保護部材１８と併用される。図例の場合、保護部材１８は、販促シート１０の販促表示を施した内側面に重ねられる一枚板を構成しているが、販促シート１０を差込み自在とする二枚板により構成しても良い。
【００２０】
販促シート１０に保護部材１８を併用した実施例の場合、図示のように保護部材１８の可撓性又は弾力性により、湾曲変形された保護部材１８が第一保持手段１１のスリット内に弾発係止され固定される。
【００２１】
このように販促シート１０及び保護部材１８を取付保持せしめた状態で、複数のかご本体２は、相互嵌合により上下に積層自在であり、第一保持手段１１及び第二保持手段１２はそれぞれ第一非嵌合部８及び第二非嵌合部９に設けられているので、上下のかご本体２の間において何ら干渉することなく、積層を妨げることはない。
【００２２】
因みに、販促シート１０による販促効果を更新する場合は、ガイド手段１３から販促シート１０及び保護部材１８を引抜き、新たな販促シート１０を保護部材１８と共に再び挿入するだけで、容易に差し替えを行うことができる。或いは、割引券等から成る販促シート１０を顧客に抜取り指示した場合、顧客はガイド手段１３から販促シート１０を引き抜くだけで容易に持ち帰ることができる。
【００２３】
（第二実施形態）
図２及び図３は、本発明の第二実施形態を示しており、ショッピングかご１における公知の構成部分は上記第一実施形態と同様であるから、同一構成部分は同一符号で示しており、上述した説明を援用する。
【００２４】
第二実施形態において、販促シート１０は、側壁５の外側面に添設される構成とされており、第一非嵌合部８に設けた第一保持手段１１と第二非嵌合部９に設けた第二保持手段１２により着脱自在に保持される。
【００２５】
第一保持手段１１は、側壁５の頂部（図例の場合は、フランジ６の頂面）から側壁５の外側面（外側嵌合面）に向けて貫通するスリットから成るガイド手段１９により形成され、販促シート１０をガイド手段１３の上部開口２０から挿入し下部開口２１から挿出せしめる構成としている。これに対して、第二保持手段１２は、側壁５の下端近傍に形成され外側面から内側に向け凹入された凹壁から成る凹入手段２２により構成され、販促シート１０の挿出端を差込み係止する爪手段２３を凹入手段２２の凹部開口縁に設けている。尚、第二保持手段１２は、図例のような凹壁により構成する他、前記隙間Ｓに対応する第二非嵌合部９の領域内で側壁５の下端近傍に形成したスリットにより構成しても良く、要するに、販促シート１０の挿出端を側壁４の外側面よりも内側の第二非嵌合部９に凹入せしめ係止するものであれば良い。
【００２６】
第二実施形態の構成によれば、第一保持手段１１におけるガイド手段１９の上部開口２０に販促シート１０を挿入すると、該販促シート１０は、ガイド手段１９の下向き傾斜状のスリットにより側壁５の外側嵌合面とほぼ平行に案内され、下部開口２１から下向きに挿出される。そこで、販促シート１０の挿出端を第二保持手段１２の凹入手段２２に挿入し爪手段２３に係止せしめる。これにより、販促シート１０は、上下を第一保持手段１１と第二保持手段１２により保持され、表面に施された販促表示をかご本体２の外側に表示する。上述した第一実施形態と同様に、販促シート１０は透明又は半透明の合成樹脂製の板から成る保護部材１８と併用され、保護部材１８の可撓性又は弾力性により、湾曲変形された保護部材１８が第二保持手段１２の爪手段２３に弾発係止され固定される。
【００２７】
保護部材１８は販促シート１０の外側を覆うことが好ましいが、反対に配置しても良い。図示のように、販促シート１０を側壁５の外側面に添設した場合において、販促シート１０の販促表をかご本体２の外側に向けて表示しても良いが、図例のように内側に向けて表示せしめることも可能である。図示の場合、側壁５に窓孔２４を開設しており、これにより窓孔２４を介して販促シート１０の販促表示をかご本体２の内側に向けて表示することができる。
【００２８】
第二実施形態においても、上述した第一実施形態と全く同様に、販促シート１０及び保護部材１８を取付保持せしめた状態で、複数のかご本体２を相互嵌合により上下に積層することができ、第一保持手段１１及び第二保持手段１２はそれぞれ第一非嵌合部８及び第二非嵌合部９に設けられているので、上下のかご本体２の間において何ら干渉することなく、積層を妨げることはない。
【００２９】
また、販促シート１０をガイド手段１９から容易に引抜くことができ、差し替え自在であること等も、上述の第一実施形態と同様である。
【００３１】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、かご本体２の側壁４に販促シート１０が添設されるので、絶大な販促効果を奏し、ショッピングかご１に新たな付加価値が与えられる。特に、本発明は、相互に嵌合され上下に積層されるかご本体２に第一非嵌合部８及び第二非嵌合部９が形成されることを知見し、このような非嵌合部８、９の領域に販促シート１０の保持手段１１、１２を設けた構成であるから、かご本体２の嵌合構造による積層を何ら妨げることなく、販促シート１０の取付が可能になり、しかも、必要に応じて販促シート１０を差し替えることができるという優れた効果がある。
そして、請求項１に記載の本発明によれば、販促シート１０を側壁５の内側面に添設する構成において、側壁５の頂部から側壁５の内側面に向けて貫設されたスリットから成るガイド手段１３により、販促シート１０及び保護部材１８を挿通保持する第一保持手段１１を構成し、特に、該ガイド手段１３を側壁５に対して屈折する傾斜角度を有して貫通せしめた構成であるから、販促シート１０及び保護部材１８をガイド手段１３の内部において湾曲変形せしめることにより弾発係止し固定できるという効果がある。
更に、請求項２に記載の本発明によれば、販促シート１０を側壁５の外側面に添設する構成において、側壁５の頂部から側壁５の外側面に向けて販促シート１０及び保護部材１８を挿通せしめるガイド手段１９により第一保持手段１１を構成する一方、特に、側壁５下部の外側面から凹入され販促シート１０及び保護部材１８の挿入端を係止する凹入手段２２により第二保持手段１２を構成しているので、販促シート１０及び保護部材１８を側壁５の外側面から凹入手段２２に向けて湾曲せしめることにより凹入手段２２に対して弾発係止し固定できるという効果がある。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a shopping basket used for shopping in supermarkets, convenience stores, rental video shops, and other stores.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The shopping basket is provided for the convenience of a customer accommodating a plurality of shopping items, and a cart is rotatably provided on the car body. Normally, the car body has a tapered side wall extending from the bottom wall to the upper opening, and a large number of car bodies can be stacked when not in use such as during storage.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventional shopping baskets are used exclusively for shopping convenience and have no further added value.
[0004]
Therefore, if a configuration is adopted in which a sales promotion sheet with a sales promotion display attached to a shopping basket is removably attached, it is possible to increase added value, which is advantageous (in the present specification, “sales promotion” is broadly referred to as “sales promotion”. Promotion "). For example, by adding a sheet that displays an advertisement relating to a new product, a new business store, or the like, or a sheet that can be used as a discount coupon for a product, etc., it is possible to provide a shopping basket with added value that is more than the original intended function. .
[0005]
However, in order to stack a large number of car bodies, the shopping basket has a configuration in which an upper car body is fitted inside a lower car body. That is, the sales promotion sheet is attached because of the configuration in which the outer fitting surface formed outside the side wall of the upper car body is fitted to the inner fitting surface formed inside the side wall of the lower car body. In order to do so, special measures are required.
[0006]
In this regard, for example, if the promotion sheet is attached to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the car body, the structure is simple and can be easily implemented. In this case, when the customer stores the product in the car body, the promotion sheet Is immediately concealed by the product, so that a sales promotion effect cannot be expected.
[0007]
For this reason, it is preferable that the mounting position of the promotion sheet is on the inner side surface or the outer side surface of the side wall of the car body. In this case, if the protrusion for mounting the promotion sheet is formed on the side wall, the car body is attached as described above. There is a problem that the stacking cannot be performed due to a complicated fitting structure.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
