Description

  The present invention relates to a cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs to be sold, and more particularly to a cigarette display system used in a convenience store or the like.

  Currently, stores such as so-called convenience stores display cigarette packs for sale. The cigarette pack referred to here means not a cigarette that is actually smoked, but a rectangular parallelepiped package containing a plurality of cigarettes.

  A cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs includes, for example, a plurality of magazine units and one system frame. The magazine unit is formed of, for example, a colorless and transparent resin in a box shape having an upper surface opening that is elongated in the front-rear direction.

  The magazine unit is accommodated from above in a state where the standing tobacco packs are arranged in the front-rear direction. In the magazine unit, a slider member is slidably mounted on the bottom surface in the front-rear direction.

  More specifically, an opening hole elongated in the front-rear direction is formed at the bottom of the magazine unit. Ribs protruding upward are formed on the left and right sides of the opening hole. A slider member is slidably attached to the pair of ribs and the opening hole in the front-rear direction.

  Further, a wound plate spring serving as an urging mechanism is attached to the rear portion of the slider member. One end of the leaf spring is pulled out from the slider member and attached to the front of the bottom of the magazine unit.

  For this reason, the slider member slidable in the front-rear direction is resiliently biased forward by the leaf spring. Accordingly, the plurality of cigarette packs accommodated in the magazine unit are pressed forward by the slider member.

  Further, in the above-described magazine unit, ribs formed on the left and right sides of the opening hole are cut off at the rear part of the magazine unit. For this reason, the lower front part of the slider member slid to the rear part of the magazine unit is detachably engaged with the rear face of the rib.

  The system frame holds a plurality of magazine units arranged vertically and horizontally. The system frame includes a plurality of guide rails and one main body frame. A pair of guide rails holds both sides of the magazine unit. The main body frame is formed in a three-dimensional shape with a metal rod, for example. A plurality of guide rails are fixed to the main body frame in pairs.

  In the cigarette display system as described above, for example, 20 magazine units are mounted on the system frame in an array of 4 rows and 5 columns. For example, ten cigarette packs are accommodated in each magazine unit.

  The cigarette pack is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with different sizes on each side, and brands and the like are written with the maximum side as the representative side. In the cigarette display system as described above, since the cigarette pack is accommodated in a colorless and transparent magazine unit in a standing state, the cigarette pack is displayed in a state where the representative surface is located on the front surface. Therefore, for example, ten kinds of cigarette packs can be accommodated while being displayed.

  When selling a cigarette pack, it is only necessary to pull it upward from the front position of the magazine unit. In that case, the cigarette pack accommodated in the magazine unit is pressed forward by the slider member. For this reason, even if a cigarette pack is extracted from the foremost position of the magazine unit, the state where the cigarette pack is arranged at that position is maintained.

  When refilling the cigarette pack with the cigarette display system, the magazine unit is removed from the system frame. A cigarette pack is accommodated in the magazine unit, and the magazine unit in which the cigarette pack is accommodated is attached to the system frame. For this reason, the complicated operation | work which replenishes a cigarette pack to the magazine unit fixed to the system frame is unnecessary.

  The slider member of the magazine unit is detachably engaged with the rear ends of the left and right ribs of the opening hole as described above. Therefore, the cigarette pack can be easily replenished to the magazine unit by stopping the slider member at the rear portion of the magazine unit against the bias of the leaf spring in this way. Nevertheless, since the rib is formed up to the front portion of the magazine unit, the slider member can slide smoothly.

In the cigarette display system as described above, for example, by removing the magazine unit from the system frame, the magazine unit can be washed or cleaned.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1B, the engaging claw 122 for fixing the leaf spring 111 does not collide with the bottom of the cigarette pack T.

  2A and 2B, the tray unit 200 from which the magazine unit 100 has been removed can also hold the cigarette carton K, the simple furniture F of the campaign pack P, and the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, the simple fixture F described above can be placed on the upper surface of the frame unit 300, or can be placed inside the frame unit 300 in which the tray unit 200 is not set. (Not shown).

  In the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment, the overall shape can be formed by the frame unit 300 or the wall unit 500 as described above, and the tray unit 200 and the magazine unit 100 can be shared.

  A store using the cigarette display system 1000 can continue to use the tray unit 200 and the magazine unit 100 even when the use of the wall unit 500 and the frame unit 300 is switched from one to the other.

  Further, even in a case where the cigarette display system 1000 constructed by the frame unit 300 is used in some of the sales floors and the cigarette display system 1000 constructed by the wall unit 500 is used in other parts, the tray unit 200 and the magazine unit are used. 100 can be shared. In addition, when the cigarette display system 1000 is formed with the wall unit 500, the frame unit 300 can be used as a component thereof.

  In the case of the frame structure, there are the wide frame units 300a and 300b that hold the cigarette packs T in five rows and the narrow frame units 300c and 300d that hold the cigarette packs T in three rows. Can respond.

  Furthermore, since there are the tall frame units 300a, 300c that hold the cigarette pack T in three rows and the low frame units 300b, 300d that hold the cigarette pack T in two rows, it is possible to cope with the vertical height of the installation space. Can do.

  Note that the frame units 300a to 300d are connected in the vertical direction in a combination having the same lateral width. However, there is no restriction on the combination of the frame units 300a to 300d arranged in the left-right direction.

  The tray units 200a to 200d are held by the frame units 300a to 300d corresponding to the left and right widths. However, the front and rear length of the tray unit 200 held by the frame unit 300 is not limited.

  The frame unit 300 holds two or three tray units 200. There is no limitation on the minimum number of tray units 200 held by the frame unit 300.

  The tray units 200a to 200d are held by the tray attachments 600a to 600d corresponding to the left and right widths. However, in the wall unit 500, the position and the number of tray units 200 to be mounted by the tray attachment 600 on the front surface are not limited.

  The frame unit 300 is joined in the vertical direction by the hook-and-loop fastener 311. Therefore, the plurality of frame units 300 can be easily connected in the vertical direction without the need for tools or the like.

  Furthermore, as described above, the plurality of frame units 300 that are alternately reversed in the front-rear direction and arranged in the left-right direction can be connected in the left-right direction by the clip member 331 and the fastener member 332 as shown in FIG. .

  For this reason, a plurality of frame units 300 can be easily connected in the left-right direction without requiring a tool or the like. In addition, as described above, the hook-and-loop fastener 311 for connecting the frame unit 300 in the vertical direction is also used for connection in the left-right direction, so that the component utilization efficiency is good.

  Then, the magazine unit 100 can be assembled by the tray unit 200 to the frame unit 300 assembled vertically and horizontally without using a tool as described above.

  The wall unit 500 is joined in the vertical direction by the engagement of the metal tubes 531 and 532. For this reason, the plurality of wall units 500 can be connected in the vertical direction easily and firmly without the need for a tool or the like.

  The wall units 500 connected in the vertical direction as described above can be arranged in the horizontal direction. Then, the magazine unit 100 can be assembled by the tray attachment 600 and the tray unit 200 to the wall unit 500 assembled vertically and horizontally without using a tool as described above.

  The cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can be easily assembled without using a tool regardless of whether the cigarette display system 1000 is formed of the frame unit 300 or the wall unit 500 as described above.

  Therefore, carrying-in and installation can be executed quickly and in a space-saving manner. For example, in a 24-hour convenience store, it is necessary to carry in and install the cigarette display system 1000 in a state where the store is open to customers.

  However, since the cigarette display system 1000 can quickly carry in and install in a space-saving manner as described above, it does not hinder sales operations such as convenience stores.

  Further, in the frame unit 300, products used for joining automobile parts or the like can be used as the surface fastener 311 described above. In that case, the plurality of frame units 300 can be firmly connected by the hook-and-loop fastener 311.

  Further, when the plurality of frame units 300 are connected in the vertical direction as described above, the pair of convex members 314 of the lower frame unit 300 engage with the pair of frame through holes 313 of the upper frame unit 300. For this reason, the front-rear and left-right relative positions of the plurality of frame units 300 connected in the up-down direction can be simply and reliably made appropriate.

  In the wall unit 500, the metal pipes 531 and 532 used for the vertical connection also serve as a structural reinforcement. For this reason, the wall unit 500 has a minimum number of parts, is lightweight, and has good productivity.

  Further, when the tray unit 200 is held by the frame unit 300 as described above, the tray convex portion 201 is engaged with the guide concave portion 321. For this reason, the tray unit 200 is easily and reliably held at an appropriate position by the frame unit 300.

  Moreover, although there are a plurality of types of tray units 200 having different front and rear lengths, the distance from the front surface to the tray convex portion 201 is common. The plurality of types of frame units 300 also have the same distance from the front surface to the guide recess 321. For this reason, even if a plurality of types of tray units 200 are held in a plurality of types of frame units 300, the positions of the front surfaces of the tray units 200 are the same.

  Moreover, when a plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the left-right direction as described above, the front-rear positions of the guide recesses 321 of the support frame 320 are the same even if the front-rear is reversed alternately.

  Therefore, even if the tray unit 200 is held by the plurality of frame units 300 arranged in the left-right direction as described above, the position of the front surface of the tray unit 200 is the same.

  Therefore, in the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, when the entire frame unit 300 is constructed, the position of the front surface of the cigarette pack T held and displayed by the plurality of units 100 to 300 can be made the same. The cigarette pack T can be displayed beautifully.

  In particular, the magazine unit 100 presses a plurality of accommodated cigarette packs T forward by the slider member 110. For this reason, the cigarette packs T accommodated in the plurality of magazine units 100 can be automatically displayed at a common position.

  Further, the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 are formed of a colorless and transparent resin. For this reason, the cigarette carton K accommodated in the tray unit 200 and the cigarette pack T accommodated in the tray unit 200 by the magazine unit 100 can be displayed in a state that can be satisfactorily viewed.

  Moreover, the magazine unit 100 causes the plurality of cigarette packs T accommodated by the convex portion 107 to protrude upward only by one. For this reason, one piece can be easily taken out from the plurality of cigarette packs T accommodated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the magazine unit 100 can be stopped against the tension of the leaf spring 111 by engaging the slider member 110 that is slid rearward with the step 105. For this reason, the magazine unit 100 can be easily replenished with a plurality of cigarette packs T.

  Further, when the plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the left-right direction with the front and rear being alternately reversed as described above, the gap between the plurality of frame units 300 arranged in the left-right direction can be minimized. . For this reason, the density at which the cigarette pack T is displayed can be improved.

  In addition, the frame unit 300 is supported by a plurality of support frames 320 that respectively support the tray unit 200 arranged in a vertical direction by a pair of body frames 310, and the pair of body frames 310 are supported by the plurality of support frames 320. It is arranged and supported in the front-rear direction.

  That is, the frame unit 300 is formed of the minimum necessary frames 310 and 320 that serve as both functional parts and structures. For this reason, the frame unit 300 has good productivity and is lightweight.

  In particular, since the support frame 320 is bent into a U-shaped cross-sectional shape, it is highly rigid. Since the main body frame 310 is formed in a closed shape like a frame, it is highly rigid. These frames 310 and 320 are three-dimensionally joined. For this reason, the frame unit 300 has extremely high rigidity as compared with a conventional fixture or the like formed of a metal bar or the like.

  At present, the cigarette pack T and the cigarette carton K are packed in a cardboard box and provided to the store, and the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 of the cigarette display system 1000 are replenished at the store.

  However, the magazine unit 100 filled with the cigarette pack T and the tray unit 200 filled with the cigarette carton K can be provided to the store, and the empty magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 can be collected from the store. In this case, in the store, the operation of replenishing the cigarette pack T and the cigarette carton K to the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 becomes unnecessary, so that the sales efficiency can be improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and various modifications are allowed without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the overall shape of the cigarette display system 1000 is formed by the frame unit 300 or the wall unit 500.

  However, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the cigarette display system 1000 may further include a stocker unit 400 and a table unit 410. The stocker unit 400 is formed in a box shape in which at least the upper surface is flat and the front surface can be freely opened and closed.

  The table unit 410 is formed in a box shape having a flat upper surface and flat in the vertical direction. In the table unit 410, a table member 412 is accommodated in a unit box 411 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. For this reason, the table member 412 can be projected forward and used for work.

  As shown in FIG. 23, since the frame unit 300 has two types of left and right widths as described above, the stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 are formed in two types of left and right widths corresponding to the frame unit 300. ing.

  For this reason, the stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 can be combined with the frame unit 300 to be used. Therefore, the entire cigarette display system 1000 can have a uniform appearance, and the occurrence of dead space can be effectively prevented.

  On the other hand, as described above, the wall unit 500 corresponds to the tray unit 200 having the largest left-right width and front-rear length of the base 520. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 24, by combining with the wide stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410, the entire cigarette display system 1000 can also have a uniform appearance.

  Furthermore, since the tray unit 200 has two types of front and rear lengths as described above, the stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 are formed to have front and rear lengths corresponding to the tray units 200a and 200b having the largest front and rear lengths. Therefore, when any tray unit 200 is used, the tray unit 200 does not protrude outward from the stocker unit 400.

  By using the stocker unit 400 as described above, the cigarette display system 1000 can be installed in an appropriate state even where there is no counter or the like. Furthermore, by using the table unit 410 as described above, workability such as replenishment of the cigarette pack T can be improved, and it does not get in the way when not in use.

  The stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 as described above are connected in the vertical direction by unevenness and surface fasteners formed on the upper surface and the lower surface, for example, like the frame unit 300 and the wall unit 500. It can be a structure (not shown).

  In this case, for example, the positions and structures of the unevenness and the surface fasteners are made common with the frame unit 300, so that the frame unit 300 can be installed in the stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 appropriately and simply and firmly. In this case, a hook-and-loop fastener may be attached to the lower surface of the base 520 of the wall unit 500 (not shown).

  In the above embodiment, the slider unit 110 that presses the cigarette pack T forward by the spring force of the leaf spring 111 is attached to the magazine unit 100, and the cigarette carton K can be directly stored in the tray unit 200.

  However, the slider member 110 that presses the cigarette carton K forward by the elastic force of the leaf spring 111 can be mounted on the tray unit 200. In that case, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, a slider unit 430 that is detachable from the tray unit 200 is prepared.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the slider unit 430 has resin parts 432 and 433 attached to the front and rear of a guide rail 431. The slider member 110 is slidably supported on the guide rail 431, and one end of the leaf spring 111 wound around the rear portion of the slider member 110 is connected to the front resin component 432. An adsorption member (not shown) that is adsorbed to the tray unit 200 due to physical properties is attached to the lower surface of the resin parts 432 and 433.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 26, by attaching a pair of slider units 430 to the bottom surface of the tray unit 200, the plurality of cigarette cartons K accommodated therein are pressed forward to always be at the forefront of the tray unit 200. Can be positioned.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the magazine unit 100 holds the cigarette pack T upright in the tray unit 200 is illustrated. However, as shown in FIG. 28, a resin panel 440 bent in a waveform may be set on the bottom surface of the tray unit 200, and the cigarette pack T may be accommodated in an inclined state together with the magazine unit 100.

  In this case, since only four rows can be accommodated in the tray unit 200 that can accommodate the cigarette packs T in five rows, the efficiency of accommodation decreases. However, the display of the cigarette pack T can be changed.

  Moreover, the slider unit 430 can share the slider member 110 and the leaf spring 111 with the magazine unit 110. For this reason, productivity of the whole system can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the said form, it illustrated that the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 were formed with the colorless and transparent resin. However, the magazine unit 100 or the like may be formed of fluorescent resin.

  In this case, for example, a normal cigarette pack T can be accommodated and displayed in a colorless and transparent magazine unit 100, and a newly released cigarette pack T can be accommodated and displayed in a fluorescent color magazine unit 100. In this case, the specific cigarette pack T can be favorably appealed.

  Currently, when a cigarette pack T or the like displayed in the cigarette display system 1000 is sold, the sales information is collected by an electronic cash register (not shown). Further, when the cigarette pack T or the like is replenished to the cigarette display system 1000, replenishment information and inventory information are also collected by a handy terminal (not shown).

  However, the function of collecting such sales information, replenishment information, and inventory information can be installed in the cigarette display system 1000. For example, at present, it is considered to mount an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip (not shown) on various products such as the cigarette pack T.

  Therefore, by installing an RFID reader (not shown) in the cigarette display system 1000, the cigarette display system 1000 can collect sales information, supplement information, and inventory information of the cigarette pack T.

  The RFID reader as described above may be mounted on, for example, the magazine unit 100, the tray unit 200, the frame unit 300, the wall unit 500, etc., and the magazine unit 100, the tray unit 200, the frame unit 300, the wall unit. 500 may be a unit that can be freely attached and detached.

  In addition, when providing the tobacco display system 1000 to a store, naturally the combination of the units 100-500 required by a store differs. In that case, the units 100 to 500 required in the store will be examined, but a display simulator 800 for supporting the examination can also be provided to the store.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 27, a display simulator 800a for frame structure includes a flat unit model 810 that imitates the front shape of the frame unit 300 at a predetermined scale, and a store counter (not shown) at the same scale. The counter model 820 simulating the front shape of the stocker unit 820, the stocker model 830 simulating the front shape of the stocker unit 400 at the same scale, the table model 840 simulating the front shape of the table unit 410 at the same scale, and the same scale A flat human model 850 simulating the shape of the front of a human, and a layout mount 860 on which a plurality of models 810 to 840 are laid out and detachably mounted, and the human model is detachably mounted.

  The layout mount 860 is formed of a magnetic sheet, and the models 810 to 850 are formed of a magnetic sheet. In a store provided with such a display simulator 800a, as shown in FIG. 28, various models 100-500 of the cigarette display system 1000 can be combined by laying out various models 810-830 on a layout mount 860. Can be considered.

  Moreover, in this display simulator 800a, since there is also a human model 850 at a uniform scale, the relative relationship between the cigarette display system 1000 and a human can also be confirmed. In particular, the human model 850 is formed so that the arm portion is rotatable. For this reason, it can also be confirmed whether the cigarette display system 1000 can be constructed in a range where a human can work.

  Furthermore, the manufacturer of the cigarette display system 1000 collects the display simulator 800 in which various models 810 to 830 are laid out on the layout mount 860 at the store, and the manufacturer provides various units 100 to 500 and the like to the store according to the layout. You can also

  Of course, as shown in FIG. 29, a display simulator 800b having a flat unit model 870 simulating the shape of the front surface of the wall unit 500 at a predetermined scale can be formed in the same manner.

  Furthermore, a display simulator (not shown) in which both the unit models 810 and 870 of the frame unit 300 and the wall unit 500 as described above are prepared can be provided to the store.
