Description

本発明は、商品コラムに収納された販売商品の見本や商品広告を展示する展示部と、販売商品を選択して販売するための商品選択ボタンを備えた自動販売機の商品販売装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a merchandise sales apparatus for a vending machine having a display section for displaying sample merchandise and merchandise advertisements stored in a merchandise column and a merchandise selection button for selecting and selling the merchandise.

従来のこのような自動販売機の商品販売装置としては、特開平９−９１５１３号公報（特許文献１）に記載されたものが知られていた。図５に示すように、この商品販売装置を備える自動販売機は、複数の商品見本３８を陳列する陳列棚7と、この商品見本３８が配置される陳列棚7の近傍に、その商品見本３８と対応して設けられた商品選択ボタン８とを有する自動販売機において、その陳列棚７以外に、一または複数の商品見本３８ｂ、または広告台を陳列することができ、かつ商品選択ボタン８を配置しない広告棚７ｂを設け、さらに一の商品見本３８ｃを陳列でき、かつそれに対して商品選択ボタン２７を配置する特別の陳列棚７ｃを設けたものである。   As a conventional product sales apparatus for such a vending machine, the one described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-91513 (Patent Document 1) has been known. As shown in FIG. 5, the vending machine including the product sales apparatus includes a display shelf 7 displaying a plurality of product samples 38 and a product sample 38 in the vicinity of the display shelf 7 where the product samples 38 are arranged. In addition to the display shelf 7, one or a plurality of product samples 38b or an advertising stand can be displayed, and the product selection button 8 can be displayed on the vending machine having the product selection button 8 provided correspondingly. An advertisement shelf 7b that is not arranged is provided, and a special display shelf 7c on which one product sample 38c can be displayed and on which the product selection button 27 is arranged is provided.

これによれば、特別の陳列棚７ｃに販売促進を行いたい商品見本３８ｃを陳列することにより、その販売を促進することができる。また、特別の陳列棚７ｃを設けることにより、一般の陳列棚７において陳列されている商品見本３８に置換えて、販売促進を行いたい商品見本３８ｃを置く必要がないため、従前の全ての種類の商品見本３８を一般の陳列棚７にそのまま陳列して置くことができるから、商品に対する集客力を維持しながら、商品の販売を促進することができるとしている。
特開平９−９１５１３号公報 According to this, the sales can be promoted by displaying the product sample 38c to be promoted on the special display shelf 7c. In addition, by providing the special display shelf 7c, it is not necessary to replace the product sample 38 displayed on the general display shelf 7 with the product sample 38c to be promoted. Since the product sample 38 can be displayed on the general display shelf 7 as it is, sales of the product can be promoted while maintaining the ability to attract customers.

As shown in the figure, the product information display unit 6 includes a display window 6a made of a transparent plate provided on the front surface, and a film-shaped holding plate 35 detachably provided on the back side of the display window 6a. . Then, a product information poster 36 on which a sample of a product for sale or a picture such as an advertisement is written is overlapped on the front surface of the holding plate 35, and it is sandwiched between the display window 6a and attached to the front door. The design etc. of the merchandise information poster 36 can be seen from the front surface of 2 through the transparent plate of the display window 6a. Instead of using the product information poster 36, it is also possible to directly display and display a sample of a product for sale or an advertisement on the surface of the film-like holding plate 35. Further, although not shown, a configuration may be adopted in which a three-dimensional product sample can be displayed on the back side of the display window 6a instead of the holding plate 35 and the product information poster 36.

また、図１に示すように商品情報表示部６の上下に配置される商品選択予備ボタン２７は、横方向に３個並べられて一群を成し、その３個の商品選択予備ボタン２７から成るボタン群（商品選択予備ボタン群）２６が、商品情報表示部６を囲むように上下にそれぞれ２箇所（合計４箇所）配置されている。これらの商品選択予備ボタン２７は、必要に応じて本体１内に設けられた何れかの商品コラム５と関連付けられてその商品コラム５に収納される商品を販売可能に設定されるものである。なお、商品選択予備ボタン２７は、商品コラム５内に収納された商品が販売可能であることを示す販売可ランプ（図示なし）と、商品コラム５内の商品が売り切れ状態にあることを示す売切ランプ（図示なし）とを有している。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, three product selection preliminary buttons 27 arranged on the upper and lower sides of the product information display unit 6 are arranged in the horizontal direction to form a group, and are composed of the three product selection preliminary buttons 27. Button groups (product selection preliminary button groups) 26 are arranged at two places (four places in total) in the vertical direction so as to surround the product information display unit 6. These product selection preliminary buttons 27 are set so as to be able to sell products stored in the product column 5 in association with any product column 5 provided in the main body 1 as necessary. The product selection preliminary button 27 includes a sale enable lamp (not shown) indicating that the product stored in the product column 5 can be sold, and a sale indicating that the product in the product column 5 is sold out. And a cut lamp (not shown).

ところで、図１に例示する商品情報表示部６においては、そこに展示される商品情報ポスター３６に、その周囲に配置された各々の商品選択予備ボタン２７と関らない例えば商品全般に関る内容の広告が記載されて、その全面に展示されている。すなわち、その広告は上方の商品展示部７と区別されて商品情報表示部６の全体に大きく展示される。また、この場合、商品選択予備ボタン２７は何れの商品コラム５とも関連付けられておらず、硬貨投入口９や紙幣挿入口１０から商品の販売価格に応じた金銭が投入されたときも、その商品選択予備ボタン２７に設けられた前述の販売可ランプや売切ランプは点灯しないように設定されている。したがって、顧客等がこれらの商品選択予備ボタン２７を操作して商品を購入しようとすることも稀である。すなわち、この状態において商品情報表示部６は、専らその広告の内容を目立たせて展示するように機能する。   By the way, in the product information display unit 6 illustrated in FIG. 1, the product information poster 36 displayed in the product information poster 36 is not related to each of the product selection spare buttons 27 arranged around the product information poster 36, for example, the content related to the product in general. Is displayed and displayed on the entire surface. In other words, the advertisement is displayed on the entire product information display unit 6 so as to be distinguished from the product display unit 7 above. In this case, the product selection spare button 27 is not associated with any product column 5, and even when money corresponding to the sale price of the product is inserted from the coin insertion slot 9 or the bill insertion slot 10, The above-described sale enable lamp and sold-out lamp provided in the selection reserve button 27 are set not to be lit. Accordingly, it is rare that a customer or the like tries to purchase a product by operating these product selection spare buttons 27. In other words, in this state, the product information display unit 6 functions so as to display the contents of the advertisement conspicuously.

図４は、本発明の実施形態の商品販売装置を有する自動販売機であって、その商品情報表示部６に商品選択予備ボタン２７に対応して商品見本３６ａ、３６ｂを展示する形態を示す正面図で、（ａ）は横方向に商品選択予備ボタン２７を３個並べて一群を成す各ボタン群２６に対し、一つの商品見本３６ａを展示する形態を示し、(ｂ)は各々の商品選択予備ボタン２７に対し一つの商品見本３６ｂを展示するものである。なお、３６ｃは商品を嗜好別に表示する商品細目ラベルである。   FIG. 4 shows a vending machine having a product sales apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which product samples 36 a and 36 b are displayed on the product information display unit 6 corresponding to the product selection spare button 27. In the figure, (a) shows a form in which one product sample 36a is displayed for each button group 26 forming a group by arranging three product selection spare buttons 27 in the horizontal direction, and (b) shows each product selection spare button. One product sample 36b is displayed for the button 27. Reference numeral 36c denotes a product detail label for displaying products according to taste.

この場合、商品選択予備ボタン２７は、本体１内に設けられた何れかの商品コラム５と関連付けられて、その商品コラム５に収納される商品を販売可能に設定されている。この設定は、前扉２の裏側に設けられた入力キーボード２４によって行われる。この入力キーボード２４には、例えば図示しないテンキーが設けられ、これにより商品選択ボタン８及び商品選択予備ボタン２７の各々に付されたボタン番号と、本体１内の各商品コラムに付されたコラム番号とを関連付けて入力することにより、これらの設定が行われる。なお、商品選択予備ボタン２７に関連付けられる商品コラム５は、選択ボタン８に関連付けられた商品コラム５と同じものであっても良いし、或いはそれと別に設定しても良い。前者の場合は、同じ種類の商品見本を上段の商品展示部７とその下方の商品情報表示部６に重複して展示するからに、特にその商品の販売促進を図ることができる。一方、後者の場合は、設置場所等の状況に応じて容易に販売商品の種類を増やすことが可能である。   In this case, the product selection preliminary button 27 is associated with any product column 5 provided in the main body 1 and is set to be able to sell the product stored in the product column 5. This setting is performed by an input keyboard 24 provided on the back side of the front door 2. The input keyboard 24 is provided with, for example, a numeric keypad (not shown), whereby a button number assigned to each of the product selection button 8 and the product selection spare button 27 and a column number assigned to each product column in the main body 1. Are set in association with each other to make these settings. Note that the product column 5 associated with the product selection preliminary button 27 may be the same as the product column 5 associated with the selection button 8 or may be set separately. In the former case, the same type of product sample is displayed in the upper product display unit 7 and the product information display unit 6 below the product sample, so that sales of the product can be promoted. On the other hand, in the latter case, it is possible to easily increase the types of products for sale according to the situation such as the installation location.

また、商品情報表示部６を囲むように配置される商品選択予備ボタン２７は、３個が纏って一群を成すように並べられるから、そのそれぞれに対応して、例えば同じ銘柄の「たばこ」であって嗜好別に品揃えされたボックスタイプ、ソフトタイプ、スリムタイプのような商品見本３６ｂ、または商品細目ラベル３６ｃを展示すれば、顧客等が商品を選択し易い効果的な商品展示を実現することができる。また、各々のボタン群２６に対して、一つの商品見本３６ａを展示すればそれを大きく展示できるから、その商品の展示効果を高めることができる。   In addition, since the product selection preliminary buttons 27 arranged so as to surround the product information display unit 6 are arranged in a group so that the three are together, for example, “cigarettes” of the same brand correspond to each of them. If a product sample 36b such as a box type, a soft type, a slim type, or a product detail label 36c, which is arranged according to taste, is displayed, an effective product display that makes it easy for customers to select products can be realized. it can. Further, if one product sample 36a is displayed for each button group 26, it can be displayed in a large size, so that the display effect of the product can be enhanced.

以上のように本発明の実施形態の商品販売装置によれば、商品見本３６ａ、３６ｂや商品情報ポスター３６等を展示する商品情報表示部６を商品展示部７と分けて目立つように配置することができるから、商品情報表示部６に表示される広告、宣伝の効果を高めることができる。また、商品選択ボタン８の他に商品収納コラム５に収納される商品の何れかを、必要に応じて商品選択予備ボタン２７により販売可能にすることにより、選択可能な販売商品の種類を適宜に増やすことができるから、販売商品に対する集客力を向上させて、商品の販売効率を高めることができる。   As described above, according to the merchandise sales apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention, the merchandise information display section 6 that displays the merchandise samples 36a and 36b, the merchandise information poster 36, and the like is separated from the merchandise display section 7 and is prominently arranged. Therefore, the effect of advertisements and advertisements displayed on the product information display unit 6 can be enhanced.
