In addition, a price card 4 on which a product name, a price, a bar code and the like are written is usually attached.
[0009]
For a specific product 2, a pop card 5 in which product information (information for product sales such as product features, uses, usage, and efficacy) is entered is placed in front of the price card 4 of the product 2. ing. For this reason, the price card 4 existing behind the pop card 5 is behind the pop card 5, and the display content cannot be seen from the outside.
[0010]
The pop card 5 is held by the pop card holder 20 according to the present embodiment, and the pop card holder 20 includes a transparent card receiving plate 30 that holds the pop card 5 and a plate holder 40 that holds the card receiving plate 30. And a combination.
[0011]
The card receiving plate 30 is made of a plastic material having a thin wall, for example, a thickness of about 0.5 to 1.0 mm. As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 5, 6, and the like, the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the card receiving plate 30 are configured by bent portions 31 and 32, respectively. A pop card 5 is inserted in between. The bent portion 31 on the upper end side constitutes a pin accommodating space 33 for accommodating a pin portion 43 described later of the plate holder 40, and the pin accommodating space 33 is directed from the top to the bottom as shown in FIG. The width is gradually reduced. The upper end side bent portion 31 is formed with a vertically extending locking hole 34 at an appropriate location according to the length of the card receiving plate 30 in the left-right direction. Each locking hole 34 is formed in a large proportion on the folded piece 31 a side of the bent portion 31, that is, on the back side of the card receiving plate 30, and the upper end portion 34 a is open. Moreover, the lower end part 34b of each locking hole 34 has a shape similar to a V-shape.
[0012]
The plate holder 40 is integrally formed of a plastic material. As shown in FIG. 3, the plate holder 40 includes a hook portion 41 having a reverse J-shaped cross section that is locked to the upper end portion 3 a of the mounting plate 3, and a substantially square cross section that extends vertically from the base portion 41 a side of the hook portion 41. An L-shaped arm portion 42 having a shape and a pin portion 43 extending from the tip of the L-shaped arm portion 42 to the left and right sides are configured.
[0013]
The hook portion 41 is elastically locked to the upper end portion 3 a of the mounting plate 3. Here, as the mounting plate 3, a slide rail 3A (see FIG. 8) disposed on the upper surface of the front edge of the shelf plate 1a of the display shelf 1, and a stopper molding provided on the front surface of the shelf plate 1a for accommodating the price card 4 are provided. 3B (see FIG. 9) or a combination 3C (see FIG. 10) of the slide rail 3A and the stopper molding 3B can be used. In the case of the mounting plate 3C according to the above combination, the hook portion 41 is locked to the upper end portion of the slide rail 3A.
[0014]
The L-shaped arm part 42 has a horizontal part 42a and a vertical part 42b. The base end of the horizontal portion 42 a is joined to the upper end portion of the base portion 41 a of the hook portion 41. As shown in FIG. 7, the vertical portion 42 b has a length of each side 42 c, 42 d, 42 e, 42 f of the square cross section smaller than the width in the left-right direction of the locking hole 34 and the length of the diagonal lines 42 g, 42 h. When the plate holder 40 is assembled to the card receiving plate 30, the L-shaped arm portion 42 is rotated about the vertical portion 42b as a rotation axis, as will be described later. When the locking hole 34 is elastically expanded by the corner portions 42i and 42j of the vertical portion 42b, the vertical portion 42b rotates 90 degrees. After the rotation, a relatively large rotational operation force is applied to the vertical portion 42b from the outside. Unless added, the rotation of the plate holder 40 is restricted.
[0015]
The pin portion 43 is joined to the upper end of the vertical portion 42 b and is parallel to the hook portion 41. The diameter of the pin portion 43 is formed smaller than the width of the upper end of the pin accommodating space 33.
[0016]
Next, an operation method for assembling the plate holder 40 to the card accommodation plate 30 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0017]
First, as shown in FIG. 4, the plate holder 40 with the pin portion 43 in the vertical state is picked with a finger, and the vertical portion 42 b of the L-shaped arm portion 42 is locked from above the locking hole 34 of the card accommodation plate 30. The pin portion 43 is inserted deeply into the locking hole 34 until it comes into contact with the lower end portion 34 b of the hole 34. Here, FIG. 6 corresponds to a state in which the pin portion 43 is inserted into the locking hole 34 as much as possible, and in this state, as shown in FIG. The folded piece 31a of the portion 31 is in a state of being elastically expanded.
[0018]
From this state, the plate holder 40 is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the vertical portion 42b as a rotation axis, and the plate holder 40 is changed to the state shown in FIG. During this time, the tip end portion 43a of the pin portion 43 rises in the pin accommodating space 33 according to the rotation of the vertical shaft 42b, and when the pin portion 43 becomes horizontal, the folded piece 31a of the bent portion 31 is It has already returned to its original state (the state of the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6).
[0019]
When the finger is released from the plate holder 40, the plate holder 40 rotates about 90 degrees by its own weight with the pin portion 43 as the rotation axis, and the horizontal shaft 42a is engaged with the lower end portion 34b of the locking hole 34. Locked to the stop hole 34.
[0020]
When the pop card holder 20 obtained by such assembling work is attached to the product display shelf 1 and used, the pop card 5 in which product information is written is stored in the card storage plate 30 and the upper end of the mounting plate 3 is The hook portion 41 of the plate holder 40 is engaged with the portion and used. A front view of this use state is as shown in FIG. 11, for example.
[0021]
At the time of use, since the price card 4 of the product is hidden by the pop card 5 as described above, it becomes difficult for the customer and the store clerk to see the price card 4 directly. Therefore, when it is desired to view the display contents of the price card 4 or to read the barcode, an operation of lifting the lower part of the card accommodation plate 30 by hand is performed in the use state shown in FIG. When such an operation is performed, the card receiving plate 30 rotates 180 degrees or more from the upper side to the rear with the pin portion 43 of the plate holder 40 as the rotation axis, and is in an open state (the locking hole 34) as shown in FIG. This corresponds to a state in which the upper end portion 34a of the L-shaped arm portion 42 is in contact with the upper surface of the horizontal portion 42a of the L-shaped arm portion 42). Although illustration is omitted during rotation of the card accommodation plate 30, the L-shape of the L-shaped arm portion 42 exerts an effect of facilitating the rotation of the card accommodation plate 30 backward from the vertical state.
[0022]
The pop card holder 20 may be handled alone in addition to the use as described above (for example, the pop card holder 20 attached to the attachment plate 3 is removed from the attachment plate 3 to another attachment plate. 3 or when moving to a storage location). In such a case, there is a possibility that the plate holder 40 of the pop card holder 20 may be detached from the card accommodation plate 30. However, even if the pin portion 43 of the plate holder 40 is about to be rotationally displaced from the horizontal state to the vertical state (vertical state) with the horizontal axis 42 a as the rotation axis, the tip end portion 43 a of the pin portion 43 is at the upper end portion 34 a of the locking hole 34. The peripheral edge prevents rotation. Further, even if the pin portion 43 tries to rotate and rotate with the vertical portion 42b as the rotation axis in a state in which the hook portion 41 of the plate holder 40 is perpendicular to the card receiving plate 30, the tip portion 43a of the pin portion 43 is positioned downward. The rotation is blocked by the wall surface of the pin housing space 33 that gradually becomes narrower as it goes. Further, when the pin portion 43 is about to rotate about the vertical portion 42b as a rotation axis, the corner portions 42i and 42j of the vertical portion 42b come into contact with the peripheral edge of the locking hole 34 to prevent rotation.
[0023]
Thus, when the pop card holder 20 is handled alone, there is no possibility that the plate holder 40 easily falls off the card receiving plate 30 unless an artificial operation force is applied to the plate holder 40 from the outside. .
[0024]
Note that the pop card holder 20 according to the present invention can be applied to the stopper molding 3B provided on the hook 6 as shown in FIG. 14, and three or more plate holders 40 as shown in FIG. A pop card holder may be provided. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 16, the card accommodation plate 30 may have a bent portion 32 that is bent forward from the lower end, and a structure that accommodates the pop card 5 on the front side.
[0025]
As described above, the pop card holder 20 according to the present embodiment is a combination of the thin plastic card housing plate 30 that houses the pop card 5 and the plastic plate holder 40 that holds the card housing plate 30. The card receiving plate 30 includes a bent portion 31 that forms a pin receiving space 33 at the upper end, and the upper end of the bent portion 31 is long in the vertical direction. The plate holder 40 includes a hook portion 41 having a reverse J-shaped cross section that is locked to the upper end portion 3 a of the mounting plate 3, and a cross section that extends vertically from the base portion 41 a side of the hook portion 41. A quadrangular L-shaped arm portion 42, and a pin portion 43 that extends from the tip of the L-shaped arm portion 42 to the left and right sides and is accommodated in a pin accommodating space 33; Configured to contents plate 30 can rotate 180 degrees or more pins 43 as the rotation axis. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even if the price card is hidden by the pop card, the price card can be seen by rotating the card receiving plate 180 degrees or more about the pin portion 43 as the rotation axis. It is possible to easily check the display contents of the card and read the barcode.
[0026]
The plate holder 40 is rotated 90 degrees about the L-shaped arm portion 42 as a rotation axis after the pin portion 43 is placed in the vertical state from above the locking hole 34 of the card accommodation plate 30 and accommodated in the pin accommodation space 33. Thus, the pop card holder 20 can be assembled by a very simple operation.
[0027]
The pin housing space 33 is formed so as to be gradually narrowed from the top to the bottom. When the pin portion 43 is placed in the vertical state and is housed in the pin housing space 33, the end portion 43a of the pin portion 43 is Since the space width at the lowest end position that can be reached at the maximum is formed smaller than the diameter of the pin portion 43, the pin portion 43 becomes a vertical state from the state in which the pin portion 43 is accommodated in the pin accommodating space 33 in a horizontal state. Even if it tries to rotate in the direction, this rotation is prevented, and the pin portion 43 is difficult to be removed from the pin accommodating space 33.
[0028]
Further, since the length of the locking hole 34 in the left-right direction is larger than the lengths of the sides 42c to 42f of the square cross section of the L-shaped arm portion 42 and smaller than the lengths of the diagonal lines 42i and 42j, the pin Even if the portion 43 attempts to rotate in the vertical direction with the L-shaped arm portion 42 as the rotation axis, this rotation is prevented, and the pin portion 43 is difficult to be removed from the pin accommodating space 33.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
According to the pop card holder of the present invention, since the card receiving plate can be rotated with the pin portion as a rotation axis, when the pop card hides the price card, the card can be rotated by rotating the card receiving plate. Therefore, it is possible to easily check the display contents of the price card and read the barcode. Moreover, since the pop card holder of the present invention relates to a combination of a card accommodation plate and a plate holder, it has a simple configuration. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the plate holder can be easily assembled to the card accommodation plate, and after the assembly, the plate holder can be prevented from being detached from the card accommodation plate.
