【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の自動販売機の商品サンプル展示装置では、商品サンプルの取付位置、サンプルの形状、ホルダの形状は固定されているため、例えば紙パック入り飲料や菓子等の箱型商品など、缶入り飲料のサンプルとは異なる形状または大きさの商品サンプルを展示することができないという問題点があった。
【０００６】
本発明は前記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、形状または大きさの異なる多種類の商品サンプルやサンプル用の商品を取り付けることのできる自動販売機の商品サンプル展示装置を提供することにある。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明では前記目的を達成するために、請求項１では、商品サンプルを載置可能なサンプル台を備えた自動販売機の商品サンプル展示装置において、前記サンプル台の背面部に上下方向に移動可能な少なくとも一つのサンプル保持部材を設け、サンプル保持部材には商品サンプルの上面に係止することによって商品サンプルをサンプル台の底面部との間に挟持する係止部を設け、サンプル保持部材の係止部を互いに幅方向に配置された一対の係止片によって形成し、各係止片をそれぞれ上下方向に変形可能に形成している。これにより、商品サンプルが上下方向に移動可能なサンプル保持部材とサンプル台との間に上下方向に挟持されることから、上下方向及び幅方向任意の寸法の商品サンプルが保持される。
【０００８】
また、サンプル保持部材の各係止片によって計２つの商品サンプルを保持することができる。この場合、各商品サンプルの高さ寸法が互いに若干異なっていても、各商品サンプルの寸法差に応じて係止片を上下方向に変形させることが可能である。
【０００９】
また、請求項２では、請求項１の自動販売機の商品サンプル展示装置において、前記係止部をサンプル保持部材の上端から前方に延びるように形成するとともに、係止部を商品サンプルの上面に対して前下りに傾斜するように形成している。これにより、請求項１の作用に加え、サンプル保持部材の係止部の前端を商品サンプルの上面に圧接させることにより、係止部の弾性によって商品サンプルの上面に下方への押圧力が付与される。
【００１０】
また、請求項３では、請求項１または２の自動販売機の商品サンプル展示装置において、前記サンプル保持部材をサンプル台の上下方向任意の高さに固定する固定手段を備えている。これにより、請求項１または２の作用に加え、商品サンプルを保持したサンプル保持部材が上下方向に不用意に移動することがない。
【００１１】
また、請求項４では、請求項３の自動販売機の商品サンプル展示装置において、前記固定手段をサンプル保持部材に設けた突起部とサンプル台に設けた固定孔を係合することによりサンプル保持部材を固定するように構成している。これにより、請求項３の作用に加え、簡単な構造によってサンプル保持部材が固定される。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１乃至図６は本発明の第１の実施形態を示すもので、図１及び図２は商品サンプル展示装置の斜視図、図３はサンプル保持部材の正面斜視図、図４はサンプル保持材の背面斜視図、図５はサンプル台の背面側を示す要部斜視図、図６は商品サンプル展示装置の側面断面図である。
【００１３】
この商品サンプル展示装置は、商品サンプルを載置するサンプル台１０と、商品サンプルを保持する複数のサンプル保持部材２０とから構成されている。
【００１４】
サンプル台１０は、商品サンプルの底面側に位置する底面部１０ａと、商品サンプルの背面側に位置する背面部１０ｂとを有し、底面部１０ａ及び背面部１０ｂは商品サンプルの前面がやや上方に臨むようにそれぞれ後方に傾斜している。
【００１５】
サンプル台１０の背面部１０ｂには各サンプル保持部材２０をそれぞれ取り付けるための複数の長孔１１が設けられ、各長孔１１の左右両端には後方へ屈曲するレール部１３が設けられている。また、各長孔１１の左右両側にはサンプル保持部材２０を上下方向に任意の高さで固定するための複数の固定孔１２が互いに上下方向に所定間隔をおいて設けられている。
【００１６】
各サンプル保持部材２０は上下方向に延びる板状の部材からなり、その上端には商品サンプルの上面に係止する係止部２１が設けられている。係止部２１はサンプル保持部材２０の上端から前方に延びるとともに、商品サンプルの上面に対して前下りになるように形成されている。この係止部２１は互いに幅方向に配置された一対の係止片２１ａからなり、各係止部２１ａはそれぞれ上下方向に変形可能に形成されている。
【００１７】
各サンプル保持部材２０の略中央にはサンプル保持部材２０をサンプル台に固定するための一対の突起部２２が互いに幅方向に間隔をおいて設けられ、各突起部２２はサンプル保持部材２０の一部を後方に切り起こすことによって形成されている。
【００１８】
各サンプル保持部材２０の下端側にはサンプル台１０のレール部１３に係合する一対のレール受け２３が設けられている。このレール受け２３はサンプル保持部材２０の下端側の左右両側を後方に延びるように屈曲させ、さらに左右方向にそれぞれ屈曲させることによって形成されている。この場合、レール受け２３は、レール部１１との間に突起部２２の長さよりも大きい隙間が形成されるように設けられている。
【００１９】
以上のように構成された商品サンプル展示装置において、商品サンプルを取り付けるときは、サンプル台１０の長孔１１の下端にサンプル保持部材２０のレール受け２３を挿入した後、サンプル保持部材２０を上方に引き上げて任意の高さ位置の固定孔１２に各突起部２２を係合することにより、サンプル保持部材２０がサンプル台１０に固定される。
【００２０】
また、サンプル保持部材２０を移動する場合は、サンプル保持部材２０を前方に引き出して突起部２２と固定孔１２との係合を解除することにより、サンプル保持部材２０が長孔１１に沿って上下移動可能となる。
【００２１】
その際、レール受け２３はレール部１１との間に突起部２２の長さよりも大きい隙間を設けてあるので、突起部２２と固定孔１２との係合を解除することができる。
【００２２】
前記サンプル展示装置において、例えば箱型の商品サンプルＡを取り付ける場合は、係止部２１の前端を商品サンプルＡの上面に圧接するように係止して、商品サンプルＡをサンプル台１０の底面部１０ａとサンプル保持部材２０の係止部２１との間に挟持することにより、商品サンプルＡがサンプル保持部材２０によって保持される。
【００２３】
また、円柱型の商品サンプルＢを取り付ける場合は、商品サンプルＡの場合と同様に商品サンプルＢの上面に圧接するように係止して、サンプル台１０の底面部１０ａとサンプル保持部材２０の係止部２１との間に挟持することにより、商品サンプルＢがサンプル保持部材２０によって保持される。
【００２４】
更に、箱型で小型の商品サンプルＣを計２つ取り付ける場合は、係止部２１の各係止片２１ａをそれぞれ商品サンプルＣの上面に圧接するように係止して、商品サンプルＡをサンプル台１０の底面部１０ａとサンプル保持部材２０の係止片２１ａとの間にそれぞれ挟持することにより、計２つの商品サンプルＣが１つのサンプル保持部材２０によって保持される。
【００２５】
また、箱型で幅方向の寸法が大きい商品サンプルＤを取り付ける場合は、隣り合う２つのサンプル保持部材２０を用いて、それぞれの係止部２１の前端を商品サンプルＤの上面に圧接するように係止して、商品サンプルＤをサンプル台１０の底面部１０ａと２つのサンプル保持部材２０の係止部２１との間に挟持することにより、商品サンプルＤが２つのサンプル保持部材２０によって保持される。
【００２６】
このように、本実施形態の商品サンプル展示装置によれば、商品サンプルをサンプル台１０の底面部１０ａとサンプル保持部材２０の係止部２１との上下方向の間において挟持するとともに、サンプル保持部材２０を上下方向に移動自在に設けたので、上下方向及び幅方向の寸法の異なる商品サンプルＡ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄをサンプル台１０に保持することができ、紙パックの飲料、箱型の菓子、缶の飲料等、形状や大きさの異なる多種類の商品サンプルやサンプル用の商品を展示することができる。
【００２７】
また、サンプル保持部材２０の係止部２１を前下りに傾斜するように形成し、その前端を商品サンプルの上面に圧接させるようにしたので、係止部２１の弾性によって商品サンプルの上面に下方への押圧力を付与することができ、商品サンプルの脱落を確実に防止することができる。
【００２８】
また、係止部２１を互いに幅方向に配置された一対の係止片２１ａによって形成したので、各係止片２１ａによって計２つの商品サンプルを挟持することができ、複数の商品サンプルを効率的に展示することができる。この場合、各商品サンプルの高さ寸法が互いに若干異なっていても、各商品サンプルの寸法差に応じて係止片を上下方向に変形させることが可能なので、各商品サンプルを確実に保持することができる。
【００２９】
また、サンプル保持部材２０をサンプル保持部材２０の突起部２２とサンプル台１０の背面部１０ｂの固定孔１２とを係合して固定するようにしたので、サンプル保持部材２０の位置ずれを防止することができ、商品サンプルを確実に保持し続けることができる。
【００３０】
尚、前記実施形態では、サンプル台１０に複数のサンプル保持部材２０を設けたものを示したが、１つのサンプル台に１つのサンプル保持部材を設けたものであってもよい。
【００３１】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項１の自動販売機の商品サンプル展示装置によれば、上下方向及び幅方向任意の寸法の商品サンプルを保持することができるので、紙パックの飲料、箱型の菓子、缶の飲料等、形状や大きさの異なる多種類の商品サンプルやサンプル用の商品を展示することができる。
