[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hanging display device, and more particularly to a hanging display device suitable for displaying tubular products such as water sprinkling parts.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Watering tools such as watering nozzles and hose reels are often handled by mass retailers such as home centers. Along with this, tubular products such as hose joints and pipes are sold as sprinkling parts.
Conventionally, as a display form of such a tubular product, it is common to cover the product with a transparent rigid plastic film (blister pack), attach the pack product on the mount, and hang it on a display shelf for display. . However, such an exhibition method has a problem in that the processing cost of the film and the mount is high, and the product space is bulky, so that the sales space becomes narrow.
[0003]
On the other hand, a hanging display device is known in which a tubular product is suspended and displayed (Patent Documents 1 and 2). In these hanging display devices, a hanging portion is provided below the hanging portion, and a locking portion for locking the tubular product is provided at the lower end of the hanging portion. The tubular product is hung and displayed without packing or bagging by passing the suspended portion through the tubular hole of the tubular product and supporting the tubular product with the locking portion.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, such a conventional hanging display has the following problems. That is, when it becomes a tubular product in which various types of different sizes exist depending on the use, attachment position, etc. like a watering part, the length of the suspended portion may not match the length of the tubular product. In particular, in the case of a long product, the length of the hanging part is insufficient, and the product may not be displayed. Although it is possible to set the suspension part according to the length of the long product in advance, if the suspension part is too long, when the normal size product is suspended, the remaining part of the suspension part will be in the way. And appearance will be worse.
In addition, the size of the locking portion may not match the inner diameter of the tubular product, and the tubular product may not be displayed.
The present invention has been made in view of such a current situation, and provides a hanging display device that can display various types of tubular products of different sizes such as watering parts in a single configuration with good appearance and low cost. The purpose is to do.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The hanging display device of the present invention for solving the above problems is
A latching portion that is latched on the display hook;
A hanging portion that extends below the hooking portion and is inserted into the tubular hole of the tubular product;
And at least two or more locking portions provided at a predetermined length position of the hanging portion,
It is characterized by comprising a stop ring that is locked to the locking portion by elastically fitting to the locking portion and supports the tubular product.
[0007]
According to the hanging display device of the present invention, when the tubular product is suspended, the locking portion at the optimum position corresponding to the length of the tubular product is selected from the plurality of locking portions. Next, the suspended portion is cut at a position near the lower end of the locking portion. In this state, after passing the suspended portion through the tubular hole of the tubular product, the retaining ring is elastically fitted to the locking portion at the optimum position and passed through the suspended portion. The tubular product is supported by the stop ring.
[0008]
As described above, when the hanging display device of the present invention is used, the length of the hanging portion can be freely adjusted in accordance with the size of the tubular product. For this reason, the length of the hanging display device and the tubular product can be balanced at the time of exhibition, and the appearance on the appearance can always be kept good.
Moreover, even if there is variation in the inner diameter of the tubular product, the tubular product can be reliably held by the retaining ring. That is, it becomes possible to support the tubular product with the stop ring widely from a small cylinder diameter to a large cylinder diameter.
Furthermore, according to the present invention, tubular products of different sizes can be displayed on one type of hanging display device, so that it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the hanging display device by mass production.
[0009]
In the hanging display device of the present invention, a length adjusting groove capable of dividing the hanging portion is preferably provided in the vicinity of the lower end of the locking portion of the hanging portion.
When adjusting the length of the hanging part, if the hanging part is cut using a cutting tool (nipper, cutter, etc.), the cutting position and the shape of the cut surface are likely to vary. When the hanging display device is hung on the display hook after cutting, such variations are easily noticeable. According to the present invention, by providing a length adjustment groove in the vicinity of the lower end of the locking portion in advance, the suspended portion can be divided at a uniform position without using a cutting tool (nipper, cutter, etc.). And increase work efficiency.
[0010]
It is desirable that the length adjusting groove has a depth and a length so that the suspended portion can be uniformly divided manually. For example, the length adjusting groove may be continuous in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the suspended portion. When the length adjusting groove is formed in this way, the hanging portion can be easily divided at the position of the length adjusting groove, regardless of the direction in which the hanging portion is bent.
The length adjusting grooves may be formed in parallel so as to face each other across the central axis of the suspended portion. In this case, since the length adjusting groove is formed to face both sides of the suspended portion, when the suspended portion is bent, the suspended portion is easily divided at the position of the length adjusting groove of the bent portion.
[0011]
In the hanging display device of the present invention, it is preferable that the hanging portion is provided with an open slit that continues in the length direction of the locking portion and the hanging portion.
According to the present invention, the plurality of divided pieces are formed in the locking portion by the open slit. Since a gap due to an open slit is formed between these divided pieces, the divided pieces are elastically deformed so as to reduce or enlarge the gap. Thereby, the operation | work which elastically fits a stop ring to a latching | locking part becomes easy.
[0012]
Furthermore, the hanging display device of the present invention is preferably provided with an overhanging plate that can be elastically deformed at the inner diameter portion of the retaining ring.
According to the present invention, when the retaining ring is fitted to the locking portion, the overhanging plate is pushed by the locking portion and is elastically deformed, and the hole diameter of the ring hole is enlarged. When the stop ring exceeds the locking portion, the overhanging plate returns to the original state, and the stop ring is locked to the locking portion. That is, when the overhanging plate is elastically deformed, the operation of fitting the stop ring to the locking portion can be performed more easily and reliably.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the display device 10 is provided with a rod-like hanging portion 13 below the hooking portion 12. Locking portions 14A, 14B, and 14C are formed in the hanging portion 13. A disc-shaped stop ring 15 is locked to each locking portion. When the suspended portion 13 is passed through the tubular hole of the tubular product and the retaining ring 15 is retained on any one of the engaging portions 14A, 14B, 14C, the tubular product is supported by the retaining ring 15 and suspended by the suspended portion 13.
[0014]
A hooking hole H1 for hooking the display device 10 to the display hook 17 is formed in the upper part of the hooking portion 12. The hooking hole H1 is disposed substantially on the central axis of the hanging portion 13. Thereby, when a tubular product is attached to the display device 10 and suspended from the display hook 17, the suspended portion 13 is kept substantially vertical, and the tubular product can be stably held.
[0015]
A through window W is provided on the plate surface of the latching portion 12. As shown in FIG. 2, claw frames 21 </ b> A, 21 </ b> B, and 21 </ b> C are raised on the rear side of the latching portion 12 around the through window W. The pawl frames 21A, 21B, and 21C hold a booklet 19 that describes how to handle tubular products.
Further, on the front side in FIG. 1, a label 18 indicating the name and product number of the product is attached. The label 18 prevents the through window W from appearing on the front side of the latching portion 12.
As described above, the hanging display device 10 can be used as a product tag having a hanging function of a tubular product and a holding function of a booklet.
[0016]
3A and 3B are a front view and a side view of the display device 10, respectively.
The locking portions 14 </ b> A, 14 </ b> B, and 14 </ b> C are arranged in the length direction of the hanging portion 13. The distance from the latching portion 12 to the locking portions 14A, 14B, and 14C is set according to the lengths of various tubular products.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 4, the side surfaces of the locking portions 14 </ b> A, 14 </ b> B, and 14 </ b> C gradually become tapered with decreasing outer diameters as they go downward. The top surfaces (locking surfaces) of the locking portions 14A, 14B, and 14C are connected to the upper end of the tapered surface. This top surface is a surface substantially orthogonal to the axial direction of the suspended portion 13.
The retaining ring 15 is formed with a ring hole H2 that can be fitted into the engaging portions 14A, 14B, and 14C. The inner diameter of the ring hole H2 is smaller than the outer diameter of the top surfaces of the locking portions 14A, 14B, and 14C, and slightly larger than the outer diameter of the hanging portion 13. When the locking portions 14A, 14B, and 14C are fitted into the ring hole H2, the inner diameter portion of the retaining ring 15 presses the tapered surface.
[0018]
Divided slits (open slits) S1, S2, and S3 are formed in the axial direction of the hanging portion 13 (see FIG. 3). The division slits S1, S2, S3 penetrate through the central axis of the hanging portion 13 and the locking portions 14A, 14B, 14C to form division pieces facing each other. When the locking portions 14A, 14B, and 14C are pressed radially inward by the stop ring 15, the split pieces are bent inward, and the divided slits S1, S2, and S3 are closed to close the locking portions 14A, 14B, and 14C. Reduce the outer diameter. Thereby, it becomes possible to elastically fit the retaining ring 15 to the suspended portion 13 side beyond the tapered surfaces of the engaging portions 14A, 14B, and 14C.
[0019]
Length adjusting grooves M1 and M2 are formed immediately below the locking portions 14B and 14C. The length adjusting grooves M1 and M2 are connected to the outer peripheral surface of the hanging portion 13 in the circumferential direction. The groove width and groove depth are substantially constant.
When the suspension portion 13 is bent with the length adjusting grooves M1 and M2 as a boundary, the suspension portion 13 can be easily divided at a position immediately below the locking portions 14B and 14C.
[0020]
As a manufacturing method of the display device 10, it is desirable to integrally mold the latching portion 12, the hanging portion 13 and the locking portion 14 by injection molding. The claw frames 21A, 21B, 21C and the length adjusting grooves M1, M2 can also be formed in the suspended portion 13 at the time of injection molding. Moreover, you may make it shape | mold the retaining ring 15 simultaneously.
As the molding material, a plastic material having an appropriate hardness such as ABS resin may be used. By using such a plastic material, it becomes easy to divide the suspended portion 13 by bending it with the length adjusting grooves M1, M2. Moreover, you may use recycling materials, such as resin, for a molding material.
[0021]
Next, a method for attaching a tubular product to the display device 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the tubular product 20 is a joint (watering part) that connects the watering nozzle and the flexible hose, and its length dimension is shorter than the length of the suspended portion 13. Therefore, when the display device 10 is used as it is, an excessive portion of the hanging portion 13 is exposed on the upper side or the lower side of the tubular product 20, and the appearance on the appearance is deteriorated. Therefore, the hanging portion 13 is adjusted to an appropriate length in advance according to the length of the tubular product 20.
[0022]
When adjusting the length of the hanging part 13, first, the length of the tubular product 20 and the hanging part 13 is compared, and the most suitable locking part for locking the tubular product 20 is selected. In the example of FIG. 5, it is appropriate to lock the tubular product 20 to the second locking portion 14B from the bottom. Therefore, the hanging portion 13 is bent and cut at the length adjusting groove M1 located immediately below the locking portion 14B.
After adjusting the length of the suspending portion 13 in this way, the tubular product 20 is inserted into the suspending portion 13 and the retaining ring 15 is retained on the retaining portion 14B. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the tubular product 20 is held on the display device 10 without conspicuous the exposed portion of the hanging portion 13.
In addition, about the timing which folds and divides the suspension part 13, it may be after inserting the tubular product 20 in the suspension part 13. FIG.
[0023]
As described above, according to the first embodiment, the suspended portion 13 can be cut at an appropriate position in accordance with the size of the tubular product 20, and the tubular product 20 can be suspended and displayed without a sense of incongruity.
Further, since one type of display device 10 corresponds to different sizes of tubular products, there is no need to manufacture a dedicated display device for each size of the tubular product. Thereby, it is easy to mass-produce the display device 10, and manufacturing cost can be reduced significantly.
Furthermore, since the display 10 can be manufactured with the same material, such as resin, there is no burden of waste separation at the time of disposal, and it is suitable for material recycling.
[0024]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, the display device 30 according to the second embodiment is provided with a sawtooth suspending portion 33 below the hooking portion 32. Sawtooth-shaped locking portions 34 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the hanging portion 33 in FIG. A length adjusting groove M3 is formed in parallel on the side surfaces before and after FIG. 7 so as to face each other across the central axis (see FIG. 8B).
As shown in FIG. 8, the length adjusting groove M3 is provided at substantially the same length position on the front and rear objects of the hanging portion 33 with substantially uniform groove depth and groove width. The direction of the length adjusting groove M3 extends in a horizontal direction with respect to the hanging direction.
[0025]
The length adjusting grooves M3 are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the length direction of the hanging portion 33 (see FIG. 7). Thereby, each groove | channel M3 fulfill | performs the function of a scale. When adjusting the length of the hanging portion 33, the length of the tubular product can be easily achieved by using these scales as a reference.
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 9, overhanging pieces 38, 38 extend in the diametrical direction at the inner diameter portion of the retaining ring 35. The overhanging pieces 38 and 38 bend in the vertical direction of the retaining ring 35. When the suspended portion 33 is pushed into the ring hole H2, the locking portion 34 deflects the protruding pieces 38, 38, and the retaining ring 35 is elastically fitted to the locking portion 34.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 9, an inclined surface that is inclined downward as it goes to the tip is formed at the tip of the projecting pieces 38, 38. As shown in FIG. 8, these inclined surfaces are in close contact with and fitted to the inclined surface of the locking portion 34. Thereby, when the stop ring 35 is locked to the locking portion 34, the stop ring is easily fitted and is not easily detached. Further, since there is no gap between the inclined surfaces, backlash between the locking portion 34 and the retaining ring 35 is prevented.
[0028]
When the tubular product 20 is suspended from the display device 30, the length of the hanging portion 13 is adjusted according to the length of the tubular product 20. At this time, the suspension portion 13 is bent and divided along the length adjustment groove M3 at the optimum position.
Next, the tubular product 20 is inserted into the hanging portion 13, and the tubular product 20 is supported by the retaining ring 35. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the tubular product can be suspended from the display device 30 without the exposed portion of the hanging portion 13 being noticeable. In addition, about the timing which folds and divides the suspension part 13, it may be after inserting the tubular product 20 in the suspension part 13. FIG.
[0029]
As described above, according to the second embodiment, it is possible to display the tubular products having different sizes with a single display. Moreover, according to 2nd Embodiment, since the latching | locking part 34 is formed in the side surface of the suspension part 33 in a sawtooth shape, the position of the stop ring 35 can be set freely.
[0030]
Although the first and second embodiments have been described, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these, and various modifications can be made. For example, the shape of the latching portion may be a polygon other than a rectangle or a circle. The hooking portion may be provided with a hook-shaped hook or the like instead of the hooking hole. Moreover, the number and position of the latching | locking part can be arbitrarily changed according to the kind of tubular product.
Further, the shape of the retaining ring is not limited to a circular shape, and may be an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, a diamond shape, or the like.
The protruding plate of the retaining ring is not limited in shape as long as it is elastically fitted to the locking portion. As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, slits may be provided at predetermined intervals in the inner circumferential direction of the retaining ring, and the overhanging plates 41 and 42 may be formed between these slits. Further, as shown in FIG. 11C, an arc-shaped notch may be provided in the inner peripheral portion of the retaining ring, and an overhanging plate 43 may be formed between these notches.
[0031]
