DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In these drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same portions as those described in FIG. 5 for easy understanding.
[0012]
The label attaching device 100 shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 is a flat product that is assembled on the back side of the transparent front panel 201 of the vending machine 200 and is created in the image of sales products for the purpose of incentive to purchase. This is for attaching the display label 101.
[0013]
The label attaching apparatus 100 for a vending machine includes a first holding member 1 installed on the lower side of the back surface of the transparent front panel 201, a second holding member 2 installed on the upper side, and upper and lower ends. The portion includes a third holding member 3 that is detachably engaged with the first holding member 1 and the second holding member 2.
[0014]
The first holding member 1 in this case includes an upper plate portion 204 of the button attachment member 203 positioned on the lower side among the plurality of button attachment members 203 attaching the product selection buttons 202 to the front panel 201. That is, the button mounting member 203 has a standing plate portion 205 that is in close contact with the back surface of the front panel 201, and the elongated insertion hole 4 is intermittently opened in the upper plate portion 204 while being shifted to the standing plate portion 205 side. Thus, the first holding member 1 is formed.
[0015]
The second holding member 2 in this case includes a lower plate portion 206 of the button attachment member 203 located on the upper side. The lower plate portion 206 has a notch 5 similar to that described in the prior art, corresponding to the insertion hole 4 of the upper plate portion 204 in the flange 6 suspended from the rear end portion of the lower plate portion 206. It is formed intermittently.
[0016]
The third holding member 3 has a plate-like standing plate portion 7, and a tongue piece as a first engaging portion that is inserted into the insertion hole 4 of the upper plate portion 204 below the standing plate portion 7. 8, and label support portions 9 </ b> L and 9 </ b> R for receiving and receiving the lower end of the display label 101 on the left and right sides of the tongue piece 8.
[0017]
In this case, the label support portions 9L and 9R have the lower portion of the upright plate portion 7 folded forward and upward in a J-shape, and the lateral end portions 10L and 10R at the leading ends thereof are folded backward, It is also designed to prevent falling off in the left-right direction.
[0018]
On the other hand, the upper part of the third holding member 3 has the same shape as the upper structure of the display label 101X shown in the prior art, and extends upward and rearward at a predetermined angle from the upper end of the upright part 7. The holding portion 12 having a width that can be fitted into the notch portion 5 of the second holding member 2 at the front end of the center portion of the plate portion 11, and the flanges 6 on both sides of the notch portion 5 that are wider than the holding portion 12. And a second engaging portion 13 that can be engaged with the front surface.
[0019]
Therefore, the lower end of the display label 101 is inserted into the label support portions 9L and 9R of the third holding member 3 to support the display label 101, and in this state, the holding portion 12 of the third holding member 3 is gripped and the lower center Is inserted into the insertion hole 4 of the upper plate portion 204 of the button attachment member 203 located on the lower side, and the second engagement portion 13 is cut away on the lower plate portion 206 of the button attachment member 203 located on the upper side. The front surface of the display label 101 can be disposed on the back surface of the transparent front panel 201 by abutting and engaging with the front surface of the flange 6 on both sides of the portion 5 by utilizing the elasticity of the third holding member 3. The panel 201 can be attached to the back surface very easily.
[0020]
On the other hand, if the holding portion 12 of the third holding member 3 is picked and pushed downward, the upper plate portion 11 and the upright plate portion 7 are bent and the second engaging portion 13 is easily removed from the second holding member 2. Therefore, the third holding member 3 can be easily removed from the first holding member 1, and therefore the display label 101 can be removed from the back surface of the front panel 201 very easily.
[0021]
When the display label 101 is installed below the product selection button 202, the top having the insertion hole 4 of the button mounting member 203 and the like below the product selection button 202 installed at the bottom. When a member corresponding to the plate portion 204 is arranged to constitute the first holding member 1 and the display label 101 is installed on the upper side of the product selection button 202, the product selection button 202 installed on the uppermost side is arranged. On the upper side, a member corresponding to the flange 6 having the notch portion 5 is arranged to constitute the second holding member 2, and the display label 101 is arranged by detachably engaging the third holding member 3 to each of them. Set up.
[0022]
Further, since the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit described in the claims.
[0023]
For example, the first holding member 1 and the second holding member 2 may be integrally formed by a frame.
[0024]
In addition, the display label 101 may be a two-sheet set of a label created in the image of a sale product and a label displaying a price, or a combination of a plurality of sheets including a label for distinguishing between hot and cold. .
[0025]
With this configuration, the label that displays the price and the label that distinguishes hot and cold are common to all products. By using these common labels in combination, one label that represents the product being sold is used. Even if the sales price varies depending on the location where the vending machine is installed, it can be handled even if it is sold by cooling or selling by heating depending on the season. Management costs can be reduced.
[0026]
Further, the label attaching device 100 of the present invention can be incorporated in other than the vending machine 200, such as a food ticket issuing machine.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the label attaching apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to attach and remove the display label to and from the front panel of the vending machine very easily.
